Algerian Muslim in France: ‘Give Me the Little Girl, or I’ll Kill You’
France faces rising tensions as millions of North African migrants, particularly Muslims, have settled in the country, leading to concerns over crime and social cohesion. A recent home invasion by an Algerian migrant, who attempted to kidnap a young girl, has intensified fears among residents.

The incident has left the affected family traumatized, prompting them to sell their home. Critics argue that the justice system may fail to adequately address such crimes, with some offenders potentially avoiding prison through claims of mental illness. This raises broader questions about safety and the impact of immigration on French society.

Disputes include OpenAI's acquisition of Windsurf and disagreements over Microsoft's stake in a potential public-benefit corporation. OpenAI risks losing $20 billion in funding if it doesn't complete its conversion by year-end, while both companies face increasing competition in the AI market.
