Valentino, who died on Monday at 93, leaves a lasting legacy full of celebrities, glamour and, in his words, knowing what women want: “to be beautiful”.
The Italian fashion powerhouse has secured his dream of making a lasting impact, outliving Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent.
In an extraordinary escalation of his bid to claim Greenland, US President Donald Trump has threatened eight European countries – Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Great Britain, France and Germany and the Netherlands – with a 10% tariff on all goods coming into the United States from February 1 until he is able to buy the semi-autonomous Danish territory. That tariff will then increase to 25% on June 1.
One year after Donald Trump’s second inauguration, a pattern emerges. Across dozens of executive orders, agency memos, funding decisions and enforcement changes, the administration has weakened federal civil rights law and the foundations of the country’s racially inclusive democracy.
L’intelligence artificielle remet profondément en cause la raison d’être des médias et leur modèle d’affaires. Leur survie pourrait passer par une rapide réflexion sur ce qui fait leur cœur de métier, à l’image de la politique suivie par le New York Times. Au risque de sombrer dans des offres très low cost ou de devenir des fournisseurs des géants de l’IA.
Despite public support in the U.S. for deposing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump is unlikely to find that level of support for fighting an actual war in that country.
Even as Trump tries to work through Delcy Rodríguez, Maduro’s vice president and now the acting leader of the country, to manage Venezuela, there are echoes of President George W. Bush in Iraq with Trump saying that the United States will “run” Venezuela and “nurse it back to health” with Venezuelan oil wealth. None of that – which requires a lot of control by Washington and a major presence on the ground – can or will happen without a significant commitment of U.S. military forces, however, which Trump hasn’t ruled out.
In a small mining town in South Africa’s Limpopo province, young people are showing worrying signs of diseases that were once thought to affect only older adults.
These include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and insulin resistance. This is not unique to Limpopo or South Africa. It reflects a global trend, where young adults in many low- and middle-income countries are increasingly experiencing early-onset metabolic diseases due to rapid urbanisation, lifestyle changes, unhealthy diets and reduced physical activity.
L’arrestation du président vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro à la suite d’une opération états-unienne constitue un événement géopolitique d’ampleur. Mais elle dépasse le cadre diplomatique : elle s’est immédiatement transformée en crise informationnelle.
The so-called world order and the international rule of law are both officially dead in the wake of operation “absolute resolve”, the US infiltration of Venezuela to capture its president Nicolás Maduro.
It is true that both have been sick for some time – and Venezuela is a demonstration of this. Maduro was condemned by foreign leaders for illegally seizing power as long ago as 2013 – years before Donald Trump even became president. No concrete action was ever taken.
Footage of a handcuffed Nicolás Maduro being escorted to a Brooklyn detention center will come as uncomfortable viewing for political leaders in Havana.
“Cuba is going to be something we’ll end up talking about,” said President Donald Trump just hours after the Jan. 3, 2026, operation to seize the Venezuelan president. Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed Trump’s warning: “If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned.”
L'année 2025 a notamment été marquée par le débat sur la taxe Zucman, rejetée par les députés mais plébiscitée par une très large majorité de Français. Cette décision révèle, de façon spectaculaire, la déconnexion entre les décisions politiques et l’opinion des citoyens. Ce phénomène, étudié par la science politique, est au cœur de la crise démocratique. Comment y remédier ?
The predawn U.S. military operation that spirited Nicolás Maduro and his wife out of Venezuela and into U.S. custody marks a watershed in hemispheric politics. In an operation that lasted just over two hours, American forces removed a foreign president. It followed months of saber-rattling and a steady buildup of America’s regional forces.
Donald Trump has sounded the alarm, over and over again, that the United States is facing an “invasion” by dangerous gang members. He blames immigrants for the country’s economic problems and claims protesters are destroying US cities.
Trump is not the first would-be autocrat to manufacture a crisis to seize extraordinary powers.
Les efforts de lutte contre le changement climatique sont régulièrement mis au second plan quand surviennent des crises immédiates nécessitant la mobilisation de moyens importants. On l’a constaté durant la pandémie de Covid-19 et dernièrement avec la guerre en Ukraine, entre autres. Comment préserver la conscience de l’urgence climatique et maintenir les programmes visant à y faire face dans un contexte où l’urgence change sans cesse de visage ?
We used to have a pretty clear idea of what an autocrat was. History is full of examples: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, along with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping today. The list goes on.
So, where does Donald Trump fit in?
