French Guiana is the perfect place for a supermax prison
I've been there a couple of times as a guest of the French space agency, which occasionally conducts launches of the Ariane rocket from Kourou. You fly in from Paris over virgin rainforest and can see the enormous space base on the descent. It's the hand of man on the face of God.
French Guiana has a veneer of French civilisation. You can buy decent baguettes. There's a Carrefour supermarket. But it's essentially an anachronism of French colonialism.
Europeans run the spaceport and local government. There are industrious Indochinese, descendants of the families who were exiled there after the fall of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, who run much else.

Candace Owens sued by French president and wife over claims first lady was born male
The far-right US commentator and influencer has been sued by the Macrons after she falsely claimed that Brigitte Macron, the wife of French president Emmanuel Macron, was born a man French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have initiated a high-profile legal tussle with US right-wing pundit Candace Owens, following their decision to file a defamation lawsuit against the commentator for alleging that France's first lady was originally male. The Macrons took legal action on Wednesday in Delaware, slamming Owens for disseminating what they call "outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions" after she repeatedly broadcasted such claims on her podcast and across social media platforms. In a particularly bold move in March 2024, Owens even declared she would bet her "entire professional reputation" on the assertion that Mrs Macron "is in fact a man". These allegations are rooted in a long-standing online conspiracy theory suggesting Mrs Macron was born as Jean-Michel Trogneux, which is actually the name of her brother. Owens, who boasts a following of 7 million on X, not only shared this unfounded theory but also released a video series titled Becoming Brigitte earlier this year, where she persisted in echoing these baseless statements, reports the Express. Reacting to Owens' persistent claims, the Macrons, through their legal representatives, issued a statement asserting that despite repeated requests for Owens to retract her statements, they were left with no choice but to seek justice in court after she ignored their demands. "Ms Owens' campaign of defamation was plainly designed to harass and cause pain to us and our families and to garner attention and notoriety," the statement read. "We gave her every opportunity to back away from these claims, but she refused." The lawsuit filed on Wednesday accuses Owens of ignoring all credible evidence that disproves her claim, choosing instead to give a platform to known conspiracy theorists and proven defamers. It also directly charges Owens with falsely claiming that the French president and his wife are blood relatives and criticises her allegations that Emmanuel Macron's rise to power was orchestrated by a covert CIA operation. The Macrons, who have named Owens' Delaware-based companies in the lawsuit, are seeking unspecified damages for the accusations made against them. Under US law, to win their case, the Macrons must demonstrate "actual malice" - showing that the defendant was aware the information was false but chose to publish or broadcast it regardless. Previously, in September 2024, two women in France were convicted of libel for making similar assertions about Brigitte Macron, but this verdict was appealed and subsequently overturned in July this year. Candace Owens, often seen as a contentious figure in political discourse, has been associated with several conservative groups throughout her career, including Turning Point USA and The Daily Wire, before starting her own independent podcast in 2024. In addition to her allegations about the Macrons, she's also been spreading gossip on a variety of other subjects, including several conspiracy theories related to Covid jabs, the moon landings, and even the Holocaust. On a personal note, she is wedded to George Farmer, a British-American businessman and offspring of Baron Michael Farmer, a member of the House of Lords and ex-treasurer of the Conservative Party.

French president Macron sues Candace Owens over claim France's first lady was born male
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte filed a defamation lawsuit in the U.S. on Wednesday against right-wing influencer Candace Owens, centered on her claim that France's first lady is male. The Macrons said in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court that Owens has waged a lie-filled 'campaign of global humiliation' and ' relentless bullying ' to promote her podcast and expand her 'frenzied' fan base. The Macrons said the lies included that Brigitte Macron, 72, was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, the actual name of her older brother. 'Every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard, and many believe, these vile fabrications,' the complaint said. 'It is invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust.' Owens did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Macron's office declined comment. The 22-count complaint seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. Wednesday's lawsuit is a rare case of a world leader suing for defamation. U.S. President Donald Trump has filed multiple defamation lawsuits, including against the publisher of The Wall Street Journal last week. To prevail in U.S. defamation cases, public figures like the Macrons and Trump must show defendants engaged in 'actual malice,' meaning they knew what they published was false or had reckless disregard for its truth.

NOC loses judgment in a case in which it is not a party, but to appeal in final court of appeal
Libya's state National Oil Corporation (NOC) issued a Press Briefing today on the back of news that some of its assets abroad have been seized through a court ruling in a case in which it is not a party, but simply because this court deemed it not an independent entity but an extension of the Libyan state. The NOC said it is appealing the judgment in the final court of appeal. Here is the full statement: ''The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has followed up on the news circulated by some media pages on social media, a large part of which is correct, related to the cases of the precautionary seizure signed by some foreign companies on the funds and shares of the corporation in France, which obliged us to clarify the following: The NOC won three lawsuits, before the Paris Court of Appeal on March 13, 2025, all of which resulted in the cancellation of the precautionary reservations signed by three Swiss companies (Sysmed Travel, Jallouli Communications Group Easymedia, and Hopital de la Tour) with a total value of 35 million euros on the corporation's shares in the Mabrouk Company in France and some of its bank accounts, which were based on arbitration rulings issued in its favour by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris against the Libyan state. On 10 November 2022, the Cypriot company Olin issued precautionary seizure orders on the funds of the National Oil Corporation with third parties in France, based on a final arbitration ruling issued in its favour against the Libyan state by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris on 25/08/2018, which obliges the Libyan state to pay an amount of (24,373,175.70 euros), and the corporation demanded the cancellation of the seizure orders through a lawsuit it filed against Olin Company before the French judiciary, in which the Paris Court of Appeal ended on June 19, 2025 Issuing its judgment rejecting the NOC's request to cancel the seizure on the basis that the latter is considered an extension of the Libyan state, and that its funds do not enjoy any immunity from execution, even if it is not a party to the dispute between the Libyan state and Olin Company. Finally, the NOC has initiated the procedures of appealing the aforementioned judgment before the French Court of Cassation, in order to exhaust all levels of litigation to cancel the seizure of its assets, which is based on a judgment issued in a lawsuit in which the corporation was not a party.
