05.12.2024 โข The Day French Power Met American Bullets
โจFrench politics dominated morning coverage as Barnier's government collapsed, with Macron refusing resignation calls and promising to name a new PM. The story evolved through the day, culminating in Macron's evening address blaming "extremists" for the crisis.
In parallel, the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination investigation intensified. Morning reports revealed carved messages on bullets, followed by afternoon NYPD releases of surveillance images showing the suspect smiling at a hostel. By evening, news emerged of bomb threats at the CEO's home.
Labour's Keir Starmer attempted a "reset" speech introducing six national pledges, notable for excluding immigration targets and moderating clean energy commitments. The Bank of England followed with warnings that over half of businesses plan job cuts after the recent Budget.
Amnesty International's Gaza report sparked institutional tension, leading to the resignation of Amnesty Israel's chair by evening.
