After Five Years of Restoration Following Devastating Fire, Notre Dame Reopens – Macron Celebrates
After five years of extensive restoration following the catastrophic fire in 2019, the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is finally reopening to the public.
In a heartfelt ceremony, French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated the monumental achievement of restoring this historic masterpiece, which was severely damaged by the blaze.
With over $700 million invested in the restoration, Macron expressed his gratitude to the workers who made this incredible feat possible.
The cathedral's magnificent interior, including the stunning stained-glass windows, has been restored to its former glory.
Join us as we take a first look inside Notre Dame and witness the rebirth of one of the world’s most revered architectural landmarks!
Western Gripen fighter jets — believed to be Swedish-made and NATO-linked — reportedly thundered through Thai airspace to carry out strikes on Cambodian military positions. The alleged aerial bombardment marks a dramatic new phase in the escalating Thailand-Cambodia conflict over the disputed Preah Vihear region. Unconfirmed reports suggest U.S. backing for Thailand’s military posture — raising questions about Donald Trump's growing global military footprint.
After igniting an inferno in the Middle East with Israel-Iran tensions, is Trump now fueling a second front in Southeast Asia? Meanwhile, Kremlin sources have gone quiet, and ASEAN is scrambling to contain what could spiral into a full-blown regional war. Macron has demanded de-escalation. Zelensky has called for urgent talks. But Trump? He’s reportedly “watching the situation closely.” Will this be another proxy war with global players lurking in the shadows?

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is under growing international and domestic pressure to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Following France’s bold move and mounting calls from within his own cabinet, Starmer now claims recognition is inevitable, declaring Palestinian statehood an “inalienable right.” However, he stopped short of providing a timeline, raising questions over the UK’s real intent.
In the backdrop of the catastrophic Gaza crisis, where over 38,000 have died and thousands more are displaced, Starmer pledged humanitarian aid, child evacuations, and renewed diplomatic efforts. Yet critics argue that his words fall short without clear policy moves. As Macron gains global support for France’s recognition, eyes are now fixed on whether Starmer will act — or delay. The Gaza war’s horrors have intensified demands for urgent Western action. Is the UK’s recognition promise just lip service?

Parliament may have shut up shop for a six-week summer break, but MPs and the French president are turning up the heat on Sir Keir Starmer over the Middle East. Sky News
U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron over his announcement to recognize Palestine this September. Trump dismissed Macron’s move as irrelevant, calling him a “lightweight” and insisting his statement “doesn’t carry weight.” Breaking with much of the West, Trump doubled down on his support for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. As Macron urges an urgent end to the Gaza war, Trump’s comments highlight a growing rift between Western leaders over the path to Middle East peace.

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism.
As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow?
The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount.
