Macron chides Trump, China over trade, Ukraine, Gaza: policies 'will kill global order'
French President Emmanuel Macron struck a serious note on Friday in his address to a Shangri-La security forum in Singapore, in which he hit on some of the biggest crises spanning the globe and appeared to issue an indirect warning to President Donald Trump and China. "I will be clear, France is a friend and an ally of the United States," Macron said. "And [France] is a friend, and we do cooperate - even if sometimes we disagree and compete - with China." "The main risk today is the division of two super-powers," he warned. Macron's speech was a warning to the U.S. and China that if they force nations to choose sides as tensions remain heightened following Trump's triple-digit tariff threat, such a move would "kill the global order." "We will destroy methodically, all the institutions we created after the Second World War in order to preserve peace and to have cooperation on health, on climate, on human rights and so on," he added. "We are neither China nor the U.S., we don't want to depend on any of them," he said. "We want to cooperate. But we don't want to be instructed on a daily basis what is allowed, what is not allowed and how our life will change because of the decision of a single person." But the French president didn't limit his speech to trade concerns, and chided China for aiding Russia amid its illegal invasion of Ukraine, and its refusal to play a part in stopping North Korea from sending troops to fight in the war for Moscow. "If China doesn't want NATO being involved in Southeast Asia or in Asia, they should prevent DPRK to be engaged on European soil," Macron said in reference to the formal name of North Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Ultimately, he warned that every conflict that is plaguing European, American, Middle Eastern and Asian partnerships -- including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza -- are interconnected and there is a "big risk" that the universal principles which connect these conflicts have been forgotten. "If we consider that Russia could be allowed to take a part of the territory of Ukraine without any restriction, without any constraint, without any reaction of the global could happen in Taiwan? What would you do the day something happened in [the] Philippines?" the French president asked. "What is at stake in Ukraine is our common credibility to be sure that we are still able to preserve territorial integrity and sovereignty of people, no double standard," Macron said in a counterargument to claims that the war in Ukraine is a European issue. This extended to the war in Gaza, and Macron argued that giving Israel "a free pass" for its military operations in Gaza that have led to a humanitarian crisis could "kill our own credibility in the rest of the world."

Real Madrid begin talks to renew teenager Jesus Fortea's contract
Real Madrid have opened talks to renew teenage defender Jesus Fortea's contract. Following Alvaro Arbeloa's promotion to coach Real Madrid Castilla (the club's reserve team), both parties are now keen to extend the 18-year-old's deal. Fortea's situation has changed after doubts around his future saw him not called up to former first team manager Carlo Ancelotti's first team last season or former Castilla manager Raul's side. Advertisement The Spaniard was overlooked despite Dani Carvajal having been ruled out with a serious knee injury earlier in the season and his deputy and Lucas Vazquez struggling at times in that position, with Ancelotti favoring to play Federico Valverde at right-back over the teenager. A highly rated full-back, Real Madrid broke the 'non-aggression' pact with Atletico Madrid at academy level to sign him in 2022. Arbeloa replacing Raul is said to be key in the new negotiations. It is expected that Fortea will be part of the new first team manager Xabi Alonso's Club World Cup squad. Fortea made 14 appearances in all competitions for Real's reserve team laswt season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in eight UEFA Youth Legaue games.

Musk slams New York Times after report on alleged drug use
Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed The New York Times on Friday over a detailed report that he sparked concerns on the campaign trail with his drug use. Fox News's Peter Doocy asked Musk, while standing next to President Trump in the Oval Office, about the new reporting, saying it 'accuses you of blurring the line between—' Musk interrupted him and bashed the outlet, which reported that Musk told people during the campaign he was using ketamine so often that it was impacting his bladder, along with utilizing psychedelic mushrooms and taking ecstasy. 'Is the New York Times, is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Price for false reporting on the Russia-gate? Is that the same organization? I think it is,' he said, turning to Trump. 'I think it is.' Trump replied, 'it is.' 'I think the judge just ruled against New York Times for their lines about the Russia-gate hoax and they may have to give back their Pulitzer Prize. That New York Times, let's move on,' he said, pointing to Doocy and then gesturing away. The Tesla CEO was referring to a recent ruling from a judge allowing Trump's lawsuit against the Pulitzer Board to proceed. Trump had sued the Pulitzer board after it refused to rescind the coveted journalism prize that The New York Times and The Washington post received for coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. Lawyers for the Pulitzer board earlier this year asked the court to pause the defamation lawsuit until Trump is no longer president. There is no indication that New York Times' Pulitzer Prize award has not been impacted as the case makes its way through the courts. The New York Times report on Friday about Musk cited photos and messages with people who knew him and noted he would travel every day with a box containing 20 pills, some of which were marked as Adderall. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller earlier on Friday shrugged off a question about the new report, saying that 'the drugs that we're concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border.' Friday marks Musk's last day at the helm of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the president started the press conference in the Oval Office with a length recap of DOGE's accomplishments.
