Another France's first couple awkward moment, President Macron publicly snubbed by wife Brigitte after shoving scuffle
and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have had yet another awkward public encounter, less than two months after their shoving scuffle, which grabbed eyeballs. The alleged incident took place on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, when the French president, 47, and his first lady, 72, arrived in the UK for a three-day state visit.
The moment was captured on cameras as the first couple of France deplaned a jet at Royal Air Force Northolt in London. Brigitte was seen leaving her husband hanging as he held out his hand to help her walk down the steps.

The Macrons were greeted at London's RAF Northolt air base by Prince William and his wife, Catherine, wearing a dress by French design house Christian Dior, before being met by King Charles and Queen Camilla in Windsor, west of London. They were driven to the almost 1,000-year-old royal residence of Windsor Castle in horse-drawn carriages, through streets bedecked in Union Jacks and French tricolour flags.

In the previous encounter, which surfaced earlier in 2025, France's first lady was caught on camera, where she was seen pushing her husband back with her hands on his face. The
awkward moment
occurred after they landed in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, for a state visit.
Following his arrival in the UK, Macron urged Britain to stick close to its neighbours despite its exit from the European Union, saying France and the UK will 'save Europe' by standing for democracy, law, and international order in a dangerous world.
On a state visit that mixed royal pageantry with tough political talks on Ukraine and migration, Macron said Europe must strengthen its economy and defences and reduce its dependence 'on both the U.S. and China'.
Macron's three-day trip, at the invitation of King Charles III, is the first state visit to the U.K. by a European Union head of state since Brexit and a symbol of the U.K. government's desire to reset relations with the bloc after Britain acrimoniously left the EU in 2020.
The French president and his wife, Brigitte Macron, were treated to the full force of British ceremonial charm, a far cry from the chilly relations of 2022, when then-Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that the 'jury is out' on whether Macron was a friend or a foe.
The king and queen hosted a banquet for the Macrons at Windsor Castle on Tuesday evening, with 160 guests, including politicians, diplomats and celebrities such as Mick Jagger and Elton John. They were served summer vegetables, chicken with asparagus and iced blackcurrant parfait, along with Champagne and a gin-infused cocktail called L'entente, after the 'entente cordiale' struck between Britain and France in 1904.

Sporadic clashes disrupt normalcy in Bengal during strike
1 2 Kolkata: Sporadic clashes between protesters and police disrupted normalcy in parts of Bengal on Wednesday as 10 central trade unions and their allies observed Bharat Bandh . Police arrested 383 bandh supporters across Bengal, including 41 from Kolkata. A clash took place between bandh supporters and police at Ganguly Bagan in Kolkata in the morning, when CPM and SFI members set a tyre on fire. The fire spread to a police guardrail, causing panic among commuters, including schoolchildren. Nineteen protesters, including SFI general secretary Srijan Bhattacharya, were arrested on the spot. At Jadavpur railway station, protesters tried to stall train movement on platform 1. There was also a scuffle between police and protesters at College Street. "The situation was under control and necessary precautions were taken to prevent any escalation," said a top officer at Lalbazar.

"All central trade unions, federations, and farmers' organisations have lodged their protest against the Centre's anti-worker policies and labour codes. Unemployment is raging, and farmers are unable to get a proper price for their produce. In Bengal, state govt was even more agile in opposing the bandh. Our workers were beaten up. The police force, which looks the other way when women are raped or riots take place, was active in stopping our workers protesting against anti-people laws," said CPM state secretary Md Salim.

'Unemployment got me': Ilhan Omar's daughter sells clothes on thrifting platform, says she has no money
Ilhan Omar's daughter starts selling used clothes as she has no money, no job. Rep Ilhan Omar's daughter Isra Hisri, who was arrested for a pro-Palestine campus protest and then got suspended from her college, took to social media to announce that she has no money and so she has to sell her used clothes to pay her bills. 'Unemployment got me,' she said, adding that she is selling her clothes on thrifting platform Depop. Hisri was suspended from Columbia University's liberal arts college, Barnard College, after she was arrested during a demonstration that turned hostile. Later, Barnard took her back and she graduated from the same college. At the graduation program, she held a Palestinian flag on the stage when she collected her diploma. On Instagram, she said that she finally got her graduation "despite what Barnard, Columbia and the internet wanted. " When Hirsi graduated earlier this year, Omar said in a statement she was 'overwhelmed with joy and gratitude' at getting to see her daughter collect her diploma despite her suspension. "It's been an incredible four years of tremendous growth and challenges as she navigated college life through a pandemic, move to NYC and a righteous fight against Columbia University's support of genocide," Omar wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "I am so proud of you, Isra and I can't wait to see you flourish in the real world."
