  • Sarkozy’s Five-Year Prison Term Starts With Fingerprints and a Mug Shot

    [ad_1]

    PARIS—Former President Nicolas Sarkozy began a five-year prison sentence on Tuesday, marking an unprecedented downfall for a French ex-head of state who rose to power as a political outsider with blunt law-and-order rhetoric.

    A motorcade of police escorted the 70-year-old from his home in the tony 16th arrondissement to the gates of Paris-La Santé prison in the heart of the French capital. There, guards took him into custody, leading him down to a basement office where he underwent a search and had his fingerprints taken. He then received an inmate number and had his mug shot taken before guards brought him to his cell in the isolation ward.

    [ad_1]

    Easing trade tensions and a big gain in Apple shares helped drive stocks back toward records on Monday, the start of a heavy week of corporate earnings.

    Indexes opened with gains, with some investors saying sentiment was buoyed by President Trump saying he will soon meet with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Friday comments that he will meet with his Chinese counterpart in person this week.

  • China’s Economy Expands at Slowest Pace in a Year

    [ad_1]

    SINGAPORE—China said economic momentum decelerated to its slowest pace in a year, putting Beijing on alert in the midst of hardball trade negotiations with the U.S.

    China said its gross domestic product expanded 4.8% in the third quarter of 2025 compared with a year earlier, down from 5.2% growth in the second quarter. Over the first nine months of the year, China’s economy expanded 5.2% from the year-earlier period, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. That means that Beijing is largely on track to hit its official target of around 5.0% growth for 2025.

  • Trump Turns Up Heat on Latin America

    [ad_1]

    President Trump’s vow to intervene against drug smugglers in Colombia widened a U.S. counternarcotics campaign in Latin America that began with military strikes on oceangoing boats but is increasingly focused on threatening governments in the region.

    His broadside against Colombia came in a social-media post Sunday morning that branded its president, Gustavo Petro, an “illegal drug leader,” vowing to halt U.S. aid to Bogotá, and to take unilateral action unless Petro closed “these killing fields immediately.”

  • Opinion | An English City Bars Israeli Soccer Fans

    [ad_1]

    Is Britain safe for Jews? On Thursday authorities in Birmingham, the country’s second-largest city, prohibited the fans of an Israeli soccer team from attending a match next month, even though the threats to cause trouble are coming from locals. What an alarming message from police, and it comes barely two weeks after an Islamist terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

    The match, scheduled for Nov. 6, is part of a larger tournament and will pit Birmingham’s Aston Villa team against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Safety Advisory Group, an arm of the city government, last week barred Tel Aviv fans from attending, ruling that the event is “high risk.” West Midlands Police, which advises the committee, said the decision “is based on current intelligence and previous incidents.”

  • Israel Hits Dozens of Targets in Gaza After Saying Hamas Killed Troops in Attack

    [ad_1]

    TEL AVIV—Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes across Gaza on Sunday and halted humanitarian aid into the enclave after it accused Hamas of killing troops inside Israeli-controlled areas in what is shaping up to be the biggest test yet of the fragile cease-fire.

    The Israeli military said two soldiers were killed in southern Gaza, where militants targeted troops inside Israeli-controlled areas with an antitank missile and gunfire. Another soldier was severely injured, the military said.

    Hamas made two other attempts to attack Israeli soldiers on Sunday, the military said.

    Israel decided to halt humanitarian aid, which Israeli officials confirmed, following calls from Israeli politicians across the political spectrum for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond forcefully to the attack against troops.

  • Trump Says U.S. Is Cutting Aid to Colombia Over Drugs

    [ad_1]

    President Trump said the U.S. would stop aid payments to Colombia, for decades a close U.S. ally, because of the country’s drug production.

    Trump, in a social-media post Sunday, escalated tensions with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, calling him “an illegal drug leader.” He said Petro was encouraging drug production and the U.S. wouldn’t give any more payments or subsidies to the country, long the U.S.’s closest ally in the war on drugs.

  • Heist at Louvre Leaves Museum Missing Priceless Jewels

    [ad_1]

    PARIS—Tourists were streaming into the world’s most visited museum on Sunday morning when a group of thieves burst in through a window of a gilded gallery on the second floor—and made off with a set of priceless royal jewels.

    Over the course of only seven minutes, three or four individuals used a truck-mounted elevator to reach a balcony outside the Galerie d’Apollon, which houses France’s crown jewels, French officials said. There, the thieves used an angle grinder to cut a hole in a window to get inside, they added.

  • The Israeli Politician Who Became Netanyahu’s Top Trump Whisperer

    [ad_1]

    TEL AVIV—When President Trump presented his 20-point plan to bring the Gaza war to an end last month from a White House lectern, he interrupted himself twice to talk directly to someone sitting in the front row: “Right, Ron?” he said.

    That man was Ron Dermer, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest confidant and the manager of Israel’s relationship with America—and by extension, Trump. Most Americans don’t know his name and he rarely speaks publicly in Israel. But he is one of the most influential American-born Israeli politicians in the nation’s history and has been key to maintaining U.S. support for the war and cutting a deal to end it largely on Israel’s terms.

  • How Venezuela’s Maduro Became Coup-Proof After Years of Military Purges

    [ad_1]

    For years, Venezuelans fighting to unseat President Nicolás Maduro have hoped the country’s military would do the job for them. But even with a menacing U.S. Navy buildup currently offshore, the strongman is virtually coup-proof.

    The leftist leader has purged officers accused of conspiring against him, jailing and sending them into exile. The vaunted intelligence service of close ally, Cuba, has worked to identify plots and renegades, with intelligence officers placed in every unit.

    The U.S. is transferring two alleged drug traffickers to Colombia and Ecuador for detention and prosecution after they were briefly held on a U.S. Navy warship in the Caribbean, President Trump announced on Saturday.

    The two people survived an attack on a submersible Thursday and were rescued by the U.S. military. They were taken to the USS Iwo Jima, which has been operating in the region and has a full medical staff, according to defense officials.

  • Trump Bets Personal Diplomacy Will Break Ukraine War Logjam

    [ad_1]

    WASHINGTON—President Trump is betting that one more round of personal diplomacy will deliver a breakthrough in the more than three-year-long war in Ukraine after months of failed peace negotiations.

    Behind the scenes, Trump’s team is working to back up the president’s leader-to-leader negotiations with more diplomatic leverage than he exerted in his August summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Those efforts will be put to the test when Trump meets with Putin in Budapest in the coming weeks.

  • A Family’s Odyssey to Find Somewhere Safe in Gaza

    [ad_1]

    In a corner of their ramshackle tent in southern Gaza, Ghaidaa Qudaih and her family keep a baby stroller and three backpacks filled with clothes, diapers, milk and other necessities close at hand. They need them in case they have to run for their lives, as they have 11 times over the past two years. 

    “Each time, it has been a struggle,” said Qudaih, a 29-year-old vegetable farmer. “Sometimes hope came to us, and sometimes we lost it.”
