Le Monde: The final throes of São Paolo's Moinho favela
The evacuation of São Paulo's Moinho favela, ordered by far-right governor Tarcísio de Freitas, has left families in distress as they are forced to leave their homes with little notice. Many residents, fearing homelessness, have resigned themselves to moving into small apartments far from the city center.
The Moinho favela, home to 3,000 to 4,000 residents, is being dismantled to make way for a new administrative district. Promised housing solutions have proven inadequate, leading to anxiety and hardship for those displaced.

Le Monde: European Union mired in sluggish growth
The European Commission has downgraded its GDP growth forecasts for the eurozone, projecting only 0.9% growth in 2025 and 1.4% in 2026. This stagnation is attributed to various factors, including the impact of Trump's trade policies and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite a potential decline in inflation and a strong labor market, risks to economic stability remain high. Dombrovskis emphasized the need for decisive action among EU member states to avoid a prolonged economic downturn.

GB News: Labour delays self-driving vehicles until 2027 as UK fails to have 'right conditions' for revolutionary tech
The UK government has postponed the approval of fully self-driving vehicles until the second half of 2027, a delay from the previous timeline of 2026 set by the Conservative administration. While companies like Uber claim readiness to launch driverless taxis, current regulations still require human oversight.
Concerns about public safety and the impact on professional drivers persist, with a YouGov poll indicating significant hesitance among Britons regarding autonomous vehicles. The government projects the self-driving sector could be worth £42 billion by 2035, but regulatory and social implications remain critical issues.
