@HistoPol I believe we need to see more French nuclear submarines surfacing in Halifax and English as well. An increased presence in the Northwest passage would be welcomed while assuring Canada's right to administer that seaway (#Canada needs to immediately deploy passive listening and active defence assets underwater to the passage). #France #England #EU #Europe #USA #USPol #Russia #Putin #Trump #Greenland #Denmark


Good news: #France and #SouthKorea applying the law to top politicians without fear or favour!


Judges who convicted Marine Le Pen on embezzlement charges and banned the far-right politician from public office for five years have faced death threats since the sentencing earlier this week. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Andrew Smith, lecturer in liberal arts at Queen Mary, University of London. He says that the ramping up of rhetoric against the judiciary is particularly dangerous and 'it reeks of 1934'.

What It’s REALLY Like on a Dolphin Research Expedition - videos.trom.tf/w/qAPES3ALtu17v…

Very well made video. I like when Mara narrates actually, it is quite easy to listen/follow. Plus maybe you can focus more on what you film, edit, the story?

Very interesting project. But I was also wondering how do they support the project? How did you guys join them? Did you pay? Did they train all of those other people for free?

Wait ... so in other countries, politicians who commit crimes are sentenced — they don't get to be elected president?

*DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!*

“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 🇩🇪 and Qwant 🇫🇷 are joining forces to build their own European search index!

And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!

This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

European leaders showed a cautiously receptive ear to President Emmanuel Macron's proposal to debate extending the French nuclear umbrella to Europe on Thursday, though some were reluctant to draw a line under years of U.S. protection.FRANCE 24's Siobhan Silke details what the extension of the nuclear deterrent could entail.
