France's new prime minister Michel Barnier promises to respond to 'anger' of the people
President Emmanuel Macron named Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister on Thursday, hoping the Brexit negotiator and veteran conservative can work with the country's bitterly divided legislature and end the political turmoil that has roiled Macron's presidency.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity.

French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly condemned U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, saying they violate international law and undermine years of nuclear diplomacy. Macron stressed that while France opposes Iran’s nuclear ambitions, regime change must come from within—not by force. He also denounced the Israeli strike on Evin Prison, which endangered foreign nationals, including two French citizens. His rebuke signals a growing rift with Donald Trump, warning that military escalation could destabilize the region irreversibly.

The UK has agreed a deal with the EU for a fluid Gibraltar-Spain border, avoiding checks on people crossing. Gibraltar and Spanish officials will carry out joint checks at the airport, while goods will move freely across the land border. Foreign Secretary David Lammy called it “historic” after years of post-Brexit talks. Report by Covellm.

On May 19, the UK and EU signed a pivotal trade deal aimed at slashing post-Brexit barriers in food, drink, and small business exports. UK-EU trade has suffered since Brexit, with UK exports to the EU down 9% and imports down 18% since 2019. The new agreement reduces costly red tape and opens access to the EU’s £150 billion defense fund, offering a boost to UK aerospace. With U.S. tariffs on UK goods still in place, Britain is shifting focus back to the EU for stability and economic resilience.

Keir Starmer’s government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a “horror show” that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermen’s interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty.
