France

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.

Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne on Friday visited the French overseas island of Mayotte, the poorest place in the European Union, amid a growing water crisis. Due to a drawn-out drought compounded by years of underinvestment and water mismanagement, the island’s inhabitants have access to water only one every three days.
