PARIS (AP) — A French middle school employee was stabbed to death by a 15-year-old student during a bag check Tuesday at their school east of Paris, and the student was detained, the national gendarme service said.
A police officer helping with the bag checks was slightly injured during the arrest, the gendarme service said. The attack was being investigated.
'While she was looking after our children in Nogent, an educational assistant lost her life, a victim of senseless violence,' French President Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X. 'The nation is in mourning and the government mobilized to bring crime down.'

Former San Rafael paraeducator suspected of sexually assaulting student in 2023
San Rafael Police on Tuesday said they arrested a former paraeducator on suspicion of sexually assaulting a student in 2023. Police identified the suspect as 22-year-old San Rafael resident Isai Nicodemo Rodas. The alleged incidents happened in late 2023 while Rodas worked as a paraeducator, similar to a teacher's assistant, at Marin's Community School in San Rafael, police said. Police said they learned during their investigation that Rodas initiated inappropriate contact with a student, and he is suspected of sexually assaulting the student on at least three separate occasions off-campus. Rodas was 20 when the alleged sexual assaults happened, and the victim was 16, according to police. The Police Department became aware of the alleged incidents when the Marin County Office of Education contacted them on June 6 — Marin's Community School is a Marin County Office of Education program. The Education Office told investigators as soon as they learned of it, police said. Rodas left the MCOE in June 2024 and joined the San Rafael City School Board of Education in December. Police said that while he is part of the Education Board, he has never worked for San Rafael City Schools. There have been no reports of misconduct involving SRCS students, police said. The SCRS Administration and Board is working to suspend Rodas from his responsibilities indefinitely while the investigation is ongoing. Rodas was booked on suspicion of sexual assault with a minor with three years of age difference, child molesting and sexual battery, police said.

L.A. Mayor Shocked by Trump's ‘Absurd' Claim When Confronted on CNN
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass dismissed Donald Trump's baseless accusation that she and California Gov. Gavin Newsom paid anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters. Bass appeared stunned by the president's comments when confronted on CNN Tuesday, asking host Erin Burnett, 'Wait a minute, are you telling me that he said we PAID for the violence to take place? Is that what you said?' Burnett responded: 'I'm just quoting to you what he said. It is, as our Kristen Holmes reported, sometimes unclear exactly what he exactly means or is saying, but that is the quote of what he said.' A seemingly shocked Bass relied, 'Let me just say it is absolutely absurd that either myself or the governor would be supportive in any way, shape or form to the vandalism and the violence that is taking place in our city.' 'I guess he has not heard any of my comments or any of my press conferences, because I have been abundantly clear that what is happening on our streets is unacceptable,' she continued. 'When it is criminal behavior, people will be arrested and prosecuted.' Earlier that afternoon, the president—like he did when Republican lawmakers' town halls were disrupted by constituents angry with his administration—tried to portray the discontent as manufactured. 'In Los Angeles, the governor of California, the mayor of Los Angeles—they're incompetent, and they paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists," Trump argued Tuesday at North Carolina's Fort Bragg during a speech intended on marking the Army's 250th birthday. 'They're engaged in this willful attempt to nullify federal law and aid the occupation of the city by criminal invaders,' he went on. 'That's what it is. They're invaders. No different.' Bass and Newsom have called on protesters to not give Trump an opportunity to exploit violence and property damage. 'You can't possibly be supporting immigrants and vandalize our city,' Bass said at a press conference Monday. 'This was chaos that was started in Washington, D.C. On Thursday, the city was peaceful. On Friday, it was not because of the intervention of the federal government.' Newsom added in a social media post, 'This isn't about public safety. It's about stroking a dangerous President's ego. This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.' Newsom is seeking a restraining order against Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying they 'intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles.' The Trump administration's decision to send Marines and the National Guard to Los Angeles will cost $134 million, the Department of Defense estimated. Hegseth was grilled about that fact Tuesday on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers also brought up photographs shared by Newsom and others showing troops sleeping on floors. Hegseth insisted that 'the commanders and troops in the field are very well prepared,' adding: 'They responded incredibly rapidly to a deteriorating situation with equipment and capabilities.' Trump has long accused his political opponents of being financially compensated for their actions. Besides the GOP town halls earlier this year, he used the term 'paid protesters' or something similar in reference to grassroots backlash during his 2016 campaign, after his election win, around the time of his inauguration a few months later, and during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 2018.

Richard Desmond attacks £70m Lottery handout to Czech billionaire
Richard Desmond has launched a fresh legal claim against the Gambling Commission over a £70m handout granted to the National Lottery. The media mogul alleges that funds set aside for charitable donations under Camelot, the lottery's previous operator, constitute a 'subsidy' and should therefore be recovered from Allwyn, the current operator. The claim, lodged at the Competition Appeal Tribunal, represents an escalation of an increasingly bitter battle between Mr Desmond and the gambling regulator since he lost out to Allwyn in his bid to secure the fourth National Lottery licence. Allwyn, controlled by Czech billionaire Karel Komarek, subsequently acquired Camelot after it gained control of the lottery. However, Allwyn's ownership has so far been beset by problems owing to a botched IT upgrade. Mr Desmond's Northern and Shell group, which owns the Health Lottery, claims that the Gambling Commission allowed Camelot, once it was under Allwyn's control, to take £70.21m from the National Lottery Distribution Fund to help bankroll marketing activities. 'The decision had the effect of granting to Camelot financial assistance which conferred an economic advantage, on the grounds that the subsidy provided Camelot with resources to market and promote the National Lottery,' court papers filed by Northern and Shell said. This, in turn, bolstered 'the National Lottery's competitive position in the relevant markets, to the ultimate benefit of Camelot and Allwyn'. The National Lottery Distribution Fund is a pot that essentially collects the proceeds of the National Lottery not paid out as prizes and hands them out to so-called 'good causes'. A source close to Mr Desmond described the £70m payment as money that could have helped fund British Olympic athletes or other major UK charities. Northern and Shell's latest lawsuit comes amid an acrimonious fallout set to be settled in the High Court later this year. Mr Desmond has launched a separate £1.3bn claim against the regulator for failing to award him the fourth National Lottery licence, as he claims the bidding process for the 10-year contract was unfair. The dispute was thrown into chaos earlier this year after the Gambling Commission's lawyers accidentally sent thousands of confidential documents to Mr Desmond's legal team. A judge recently ruled that Northern and Shell could rely on the majority of the material in court. Mr Desmond has since been forced to deny accusations that he cannot afford to fight the case. Earlier this month, the Gambling Commission and Allwyn told a judge that his companies cannot afford the legal costs associated with the case, a claim that Northern and Shell has vigorously denied. Sa'ad Hossain KC, representing Northern and Shell, stressed that the company had 'sufficient funds'. Lawyers acting for Allwyn told the court that Northern and Shell would be liable for at least £55m in legal costs if it lost the case. The Gambling Commission was contacted for comment. An Allwyn spokesman said: 'This is a legal dispute brought by Richard Desmond's Northern and Shell group against the Gambling Commission only. No proceedings have been brought by the Northern and Shell group against Allwyn or Camelot.' Mr Desmond declined to comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
