France

Former French Prime Minister Edouard Balladur has died at 97, announced by his family. Balladur, who served from 1993 to 1995, was honoured by President Emmanuel Macron and PM Sebastien Lecornu as a devoted public servant and reformist statesman, marking his significant impact on French politics.

France is facing political turmoil as Prime Minister Michel Barnier has been ousted following a decisive no-confidence vote in parliament, just three months after his appointment by President Emmanuel Macron.
