Lebanon: Hezbollah ignores cabinet decision to disarm it
Hezbollah has rejected the Lebanese government's decision to disarm the group, claiming it undermines Lebanon's sovereignty and serves Israeli interests. The government plans to develop a strategy to restrict weapons to its forces by year-end, amid ongoing US pressure and Israeli strikes.

The decision marks a significant shift since Lebanon's civil war, with Hezbollah asserting it will treat the disarmament as nonexistent. The group views the government's actions as dictated by the US, while its opponents see it as a crucial step toward restoring state authority.

GB News: HGVs could be banned from major A-roads amid growing petition and safety concerns for vital route
HGVs could be banned from major A-roads amid growing petition and safety concerns for vital route
Central Bedfordshire communities are considering new regulations to address issues with heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) on local roads. In Stotfold, a proposed 7.5-tonne weight limit on Wrayfields aims to redirect lorry traffic to the A1 dual carriageway, while Leighton Buzzard residents seek to eliminate a training vehicle exemption on Stanbridge Road's existing weight restriction.

Both initiatives reflect concerns over road safety and environmental impacts in residential areas. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback on these proposals, with a deadline set for August 29. Increased HGV traffic has raised alarms about safety for pedestrians, particularly schoolchildren, and the overall suitability of these roads for heavy vehicles.

Le Monde: Outsider art: Two African artists somewhat lost amid the vast Decharme collection in Paris
Outsider art: Two African artists somewhat lost amid the vast Decharme collection in Paris
The exhibition "Art brut. The Decharme donation to the Centre Pompidou" at the Grand Palais features only two African artists among 156 participants, highlighting a lack of representation. Beninese artist Ezekiel Messou's works reflect outsider art's unique style, while an anonymous Angolan artist's drawings were also included.

Bruno Decharme, co-curator, emphasizes the need for a different interpretative framework to explore African outsider art, which may not align with Western concepts of artistic expression. The exhibition runs through September 21, 2025.
