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.

A priceless tapestry, valued at £800 million, has captured the attention of the Treasury. This extraordinary piece not only represents immense artistic heritage but also highlights the importance of preserving cultural artifacts in an era of economic scrutiny.
