New York (AFP) - A pro-Israeli candidate beat a pro-Palestinian rival in New York on Tuesday in the most expensive House primary ever, a vote which exposed the Democratic Party's internal divisions over the war in Gaza. George Latimer, backed by former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, ousted incumbent Jamaal Bowman, who has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza and advocated for a ceasefire in the Palestinian territory. Latimer, 70, is a supporter of Israel and has called for the return of hostages captured by Hamas before any eventual ceasefire. The election for New York's 16th district w...

By Clare BYRNE Mont-Saint-Martin (France) (AFP) - Le bureau du maire de Mont-Saint-Martin sent encore la peinture, un an après son saccage durant des émeutes nationales. Le sentiment d'insécurité, dans ce bourg du Nord, comme ailleurs en France, est un thème porteur du vote pour le Rassemblement national (extrême droite). Le 27 juin 2023, Nahel, 17 ans, multiplie les infractions au volant d'une puissante voiture qu'il n'est pas en âge de conduire en proche banlieue parisienne. Arrêté par des policiers, il est tué d'une balle tirée à bout portant. Une vidéo circule sur les réseaux sociaux. La F...

Washington (AFP) - Ahead of their first presidential debate, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are offering sharply different visions of the US role in the world, both in style and substance. The rare matchup between a current and former president puts their stark contrasts on display. Trump during his 2017-2021 presidency vowed to put "America First," with a combative and often isolationist view of the world, while Biden took office in 2021 vowing "America is Back," rekindling relationships with allies. The two presidents have some core beliefs in common. Both were adamant on pulling US troops out o...

New York (AFP) - A judge eased a gag order on Tuesday that was imposed on Donald Trump during his criminal trial which saw him convicted of 34 counts, according to a court filing. Judge Juan Merchan imposed the limited gag order ahead of the trial, restricting Trump from commenting publicly on jurors, witnesses, prosecutors and court staff, later expanding it to include his own family and that of the prosecutor. Merchan, who will sentence the presidential hopeful on July 11, said that "circumstances have now changed. The trial portion of these proceedings ended when the verdict was rendered, a...

New York (AFP) - After taking a beating in the ratings from rivals Fox News and MSNBC, CNN is hoping that by hosting the first presidential debate of 2024, it can win back some cable news viewers. The network, the first in history to earn sole broadcast rights for a presidential debate, offered competitors the chance to pick up its feed Thursday night, under certain conditions. The CNN logo would have to appear onscreen for the duration of the event, and any ads promoting it would have to refer to the "CNN Presidential Debate," according to the Los Angeles Times. CNN declined comment when aske...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden and Donald Trump square off for a historic US presidential debate this week, with the stage set for what could be a pivotal moment in the 2024 race as millions of potential voters tune in. The showdown fires the starting gun on what promises to be a bruising summer on the campaign trail, in a deeply polarized and tense United States still convulsed over the chaos and violence that accompanied the 2020 election. With only two debates this cycle, Thursday's high-stakes clash takes on heightened significance, and both candidates have stepped up their personal attacks,...

Dearborn (United States) (AFP) - Abdullah Hammoud's election as the first Muslim mayor of Dearborn was a watershed moment for this city, an automaking hub home to the highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the United States. But while his early focus was on upgrading sewer infrastructure and investing in parks, he has now been thrust into the national spotlight for his outspoken criticism of fellow Democrat Joe Biden, over the president's support for Israel's military offensive in Gaza. "I'll be the first to say that we don't want to see (Donald) Trump reelected to the White House," Hammo...

"I've never endorsed a presidential candidate before. But this year's election stands to be so enormously consequential for women and families that, this time, I can't stay quiet," she said on X.

Washington (AFP) - Republicans are flooding the internet with out-of-context videos of US President Joe Biden, using what the White House has characterized as deceptive editing tactics to cast the 81-year-old as infirm less than five months from November's election. The specious posts claiming to show Biden lost or freezing up underscore how increasingly bitter and personal the campaign has become online in the wake of former president Donald Trump's criminal conviction and as attack ads ramp up ahead of the first debates. They also come amid some voters' worries over Biden's physical and ment...
