Macron makes state visit to UK in attempt to move past Brexit
The president and his spouse will begin their visit on Tuesday at Windsor Castle, where they will be welcomed by King Charles III, who has made this thousand-year-old site his main residence, and Queen Consort Camilla. Macron will then travel to London to visit Westminster Abbey, where 30 British kings and queens are buried.
Macron will deliver a speech to both Houses of Parliament, gathered in the Palace of Westminster. Afterward, he will lay wreaths at the foot of the statues of the two most honored statesmen in the two neighboring countries: Winston Churchill's statue facing Big Ben, and Charles de Gaulle's statue at Carlton Gardens, opposite the building that housed the French government-in-exile in 1940.

EU prosecutors open probe into Le Pen's RN party and allies for misuse of funds
The European Union's prosecutor said Tuesday it has launched a formal investigation into a defunct far-right group, which included France's Rassemblement National (RN), over the alleged misuse of European Parliament funds. "The European Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation," said a spokesperson for the agency that probes financial crimes against the bloc, said. A parliamentary report said the far-right Identity and Democracy (ID) political grouping, which was disbanded last year, was suspected of improperly spending 4.3 million euros ($5 million) between 2019 and 2024. The report was revealed earlier this month by Le Monde and its partners, German investigative television program Kontraste, the German magazine Die Zeit, and the Austrian weekly newspaper Falter. The ID group contained MEPs from a range of eurosceptic parties, including the RN of Marine Le Pen, the longtime standard bearer of the French far right, Italy's League and the Alternative for Germany. ID was formally disbanded after elections last year and was succeeded by a new grouping Patriots for Europe. The bulk of the allegedly misused funds benefited companies belonging to a former advisor to Le Pen and his wife. Le Pen ally Jordan Bardella, who now heads the Patriots group, said the probe represented a "new harassment operation by the European Parliament". The European Parliament said it "takes note of the decision" by the prosecutors to open the probe, first reported by Euractiv on Tuesday. "As always, parliament cooperates fully with national or European authorities if requested so," the parliament said. The investigation comes after Le Pen suffered a stunning blow in March when a French court convicted her and other party officials over an EU parliament fake jobs scam. The ruling, which Le Pen has appealed, banned her from standing for office for five years, which would scupper her ambition of taking part in the 2027 presidential vote.

Watch live: Macron speaks at UK's House of Commons during state visit
Prince William and Princess Catherine greeted the French presidential couple at RAF Northolt outside London. King Charles III later formally welcomed them to Windsor Castle, where they rode in a horse-drawn carriage and reviewed a military guard of honour. Macron's arrival in Britain marks the first state visit by a French head of state since then president Nicolas Sarkozy travelled to London in 2008 and the UK's 2020 "Brexit" departure from the European Union.

Marine Le Pen turns to European law in bid to overturn ineligibility ruling
Marine Le Pen has submitted a request to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to examine the immediate application of the five-year ineligibility sentence she received after being found guilty in March of misusing public funds, an offence with estimated damages running into several million euros. The daughter of the far-right party's founder was sentenced to four years in prison, two of which are firm (but convertible into house arrest with an electronic tag), meaning she is unlikely to be incarcerated. She was also fined €100,000. In addition, the judge imposed a five-year ban from holding public office, which took immediate effect. Le Pen, who has announced she is appealing the ruling, has denounced the sentence as 'political' and 'unjust', criticising the immediate application of the ban as undemocratic. As it stands, she is barred from standing in the 2027 presidential election or even running as an MP if another snap parliamentary election were to be called. Being prevented from standing in upcoming elections represents a violation of human rights, the National Rally said in a statement. The party is calling for 'respect for the presumption of innocence' in Le Pen's case. Several like-minded political leaders, often critical of the European Union, have expressed their support for Le Pen: from former US President Donald Trump and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro to Italy's Matteo Salvini and the Netherlands' Geert Wilders. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán even posted 'Je suis Marine' on social media platform X, a reference to the 'Je suis Charlie' slogan that emerged in solidarity with French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo after the 2015 Islamist terror attack that killed 12 people. The ECHR is now expected to open an investigation to assess the legality of the immediate enforcement of Le Pen's ineligibility sentence.
