Gouvernement Shutdown - Washington DC

The U.S. Capitol building is seen reflected in the window of a building in Washington, D.C., the United States, on October 5, 2025. As the U.S. federal government entered a shutdown -- the first time in nearly seven years -- the confrontation between President Donald Trump's administration and the Democratic Party has further escalated. The Trump administration has cut funding and programs in Democratic-led states and sought to dismantle federal agencies led by Democrats. Meanwhile, Democrats have shown a rare sense of unity, hoping to reverse declining approval ratings through the fight. This new round of partisan conflict over the government shutdown is markedly different from previous ones, characterized by greater hostility and malice that has pushed partisan strife to new heights. It highlights the deepening political polarization in the United States while inflicting greater harm on the American people. Photo by Li Rui/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

Nicolas Sarkozy In Police Custody Over Campaign Financing

File photo - Nicolas Sarkozy, France's newly-elected President, with Claude Gueant beside, addresses his supporters at the Salle Gaveau in Paris, May 6, 2007. French voters elected reform-minded Nicolas Sarkozy as their new president on Sunday, giving him a comfortable winning margin, preliminary official results and projections from four polling agencies showed. With more than half of the vote counted, Sarkozy was scoring just over 53 percent to a little more than 46 percent for Socialist Segolene Royal. Polling agencies also had the conservative Sarkozy winning 53 percent of the vote compared to 47 for Royal amid massive turnout of 85 percent. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was in police custody on Tuesday morning March 20, 2018, an official in the country’s judiciary said. He was to be questioned as part of an investigation into suspected irregularities over his election campaign financing, the same source added.

Chaos and Desperation at Gaza Aid Point - Palestine

Displaced Palestinians at the Nuseirat refugee camp haul food parcels and other items they manage to retrieve from a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution point along the "Netzarim corridor" in central Gaza on July 30, 2025. Long lines and chaotic scenes unfold as residents, many of them barefoot or injured, scramble for basic necessities amid deepening food insecurity and soaring temperatures. The area, scarred by nearly 22 months of relentless war, sees increasing desperation as humanitarian corridors operate intermittently and often under the threat of renewed violence. Aid agencies warn that famine is imminent, particularly in northern regions, as political deadlock and limited access continue to hinder large-scale relief. Truce negotiations show little progress, leaving civilians in Gaza reliant on sporadic convoys for survival. Photo taken on July 30, 2025 at Nuseirat refugee camp, in Gaza, Palestine.
