Macron responded angrily on Thursday as he spoke with reporters on a trip to India, saying that everyone should stay in their own lane. I'm always struck by how people who are nationalists, who don't want to be bothered in their own country, are always the first ones to comment on what's happening in other countries, he said. Asked if his remarks referred to Meloni, Macron replied: You got that right.

Police in France have arrested nine suspects, including an aide to a far-left lawmaker, over the killing of a far-right activist in the southeastern city of Lyon, according to a prosecutor. The arrests come as France mourns Quentin Deranque, 23, who was beaten to death last week by far-left activists outside a Lyon venue where Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan was speaking.

Last week, far-right streamer Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization of women and girls. During an episode of his America First livestream on Rumble, Fuentes declared, "Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists - all of his political rivals - we have to do the same thing with women ... They go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags."

Figures released by the Interior Ministry showed that a total of 818 crimes targeting "media" were registered with the BKA, Germany's federal investigative police force, between April 1, 2024 and November 30, 2025. That averages out at roughly 41 cases per month over a 20-month period, and compares to 290 crimes, for an average of roughly 24 per month, in the calendar year 2023. The increase equates to roughly 71%.

Elie, I take your point that you think it's both sides, but let me just say the data, respectfully, disagrees with you. According to government and independent analysis, since 2001, 85% of political deaths have been from right-wing extremists. There was a study posted on the DOJ about right-wing extremism being one of the biggest issues in America. Of course, it quietly disappeared when Donald Trump came into office, submitted Cross.

That era of fear, many Bangladeshis believed, had ended with Hasina's ouster in the popular student-led uprising, which forced her to flee to India on August 5, 2024. But while the interim government of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, who replaced Hasina, is not accused of orchestrating any such excesses, political violence in Bangladesh is surging again ahead of the upcoming vote.

Minnesotan here. Everything is as heinous and barbaric as it seems. Our great state is being targeted and terrorized in a political power play designed to wreak chaos and instigate violence.

Going back to Renee Good, the idea that there was an ICE agent that was filming while involved in this life-or-death-you know, supposedly for him-situation, right? You're claiming that, but at the same time you're using your phone to document this.

Bangladesh is observing a national day of mourning ahead of the funeral of Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent leader of its 2024 student-led uprising, after his death triggered two days of protests across the country. Police wearing body cameras were deployed across the capital city, Dhaka, on Saturday as Hadi's funeral was scheduled to begin at 2pm (08:00 GMT) at the South Plaza of Bangladesh's parliament house, known locally as Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

We've had people incarcerated for threatening to kill me, she told the Guardian in an interview at her Washington office. We have people that are being prosecuted right now for threatening to kill me and so it is something that does stay in the back of our minds. But I also worry about those people finding someone who looks like me in Minneapolis or across the country and thinking it is me and harming them.

A group of councillors were violently intimidated and pelted with eggs at a meeting by people wearing balaclavas in the public gallery, MPs have been told. Swale Borough Council in Kent were debating making their area a District of Sanctuary for asylum seekers in the meeting on Wednesday evening. The council also confirmed that their office was also damaged, with toilets and lifts vandalised and deliberate flooding caused water to pour through the ceiling in several areas.

I know some people have given up on finding the perpetrator. But not the FBI and not our partners, said Darren Cox, a deputy assistant director in the FBI. He explained that the investigation involved sorting through 3 million lines of data. We do not forget, we do not give up, and we do not relent. Though it had been nearly five years, our team continued to churn through massive amounts of data and tips that we used to identify this suspect, Cox said.

In 1965, the United States launched Gemini 7 with Air Force Lt. Col. Frank Borman and Navy Cmdr. James A. Lovell aboard on a two-week mission. (While Gemini 7 was in orbit, its sister ship, Gemini 6A, was launched on Dec. 15 on a one-day mission; the two spacecraft were able to rendezvous within a foot of each other.) In 1969, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark of the Black Panther Party were shot and killed during a raid by Chicago police.

My life choices put my family at risk.

The top Democrat in the United States Senate, Chuck Schumer, has said that three of his New York state offices were targeted with emailed bomb threats alleging the 2020 election was rigged. In a statement on social media, Schumer said that local law enforcement on Monday received bomb threats referencing his offices in Rochester, Binghamton and Long Island with the email subject line MAGA.

A commentary in the Opinion section of Sunday's newspaper, Bay Area local leaders need protection against violence, mischaracterized details of a state law, due to inaccurate information provided by the League of Women Voters of Oakland.

I was going to talk about a pretty feel-good firearms competition I went to earlier this year, where trans and queer people made up about a quarter of participants and the unofficial rule was you're not allowed to be a bigot. I was going to describe the strange and whimsical mix of subcultures people embraced there-like polyamory and Mad Max cosplay-wrapped up in pro-LGBT and Black Lives Matter patches.

Senator Mark Kelly whose wife, Gabrielle Giffords, narrowly survived an attempted assassination while she was in Congress in 2011 says he is worried about increased threats to his family's safety after Donald Trump accused him and other Democratic lawmakers of SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH. This kind of language is dangerous, and it's wrong, Kelly said on Friday on MS NOW's Morning Joe, with political violence one of the top topics in the US's public discourse.

My husband @CaptMarkKelly is a 25-year Navy combat pilot veteran. He served our country with strength, courage, and integrity, dedicating his career to protecting us and upholding our constitution, wrote Giffords on X, adding: Today, the President of the United States called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans of all political beliefs need to stand up and say so.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), alongside the Democratic whip and conference chair, put out a statement Thursday blasting President Donald Trump's threat to execute six Congressional Democrats. Trump posted on social media a screed aimed at Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO), Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). Trump's posts accused the lawmakers of SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH after they put out a video urging military members not to follow illegal orders.

We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation, began the Democrats' statement, adding: What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.

The demonstration on Saturday was organised by members of generation Z, but ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties. For many hours, this mobilisation proceeded and developed peacefully, until a group of hooded individuals began to commit acts of violence, said Pablo Vazquez, the security chief for Mexico City. He reported that 100 police officers were injured, of whom 40 required hospital treatment for bruises and cuts, while 20 protesters were hurt.

The protests, which took place under the banner of "Generation Z" in the style of other such youth movements around the world, were prompted in particular by the murder of an anti-crime mayor earlier this month. "Carlos did not die; the government killed him," chanted demonstrators in Mexico City, referring to the late mayor of Uruapan in the western state of Michoacan, who was shot dead at a public Day of the Dead (Dia de Muertos) event on November 1.
