French PM Criticizes US-EU Trade Deal, Calls It a "Dark Day"
French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has strongly criticized a recent trade agreement between the United States and the European Union, describing it as a "dark day" and a sign of "submission." In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Bayrou expressed disappointment over the deal, which was reached on Sunday between US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The agreement sets a baseline tariff of 15 percent on EU exports to the United States. "It is a dark day when an alliance of free peoples, united to affirm their values and defend their interests, resorts to submission," Bayrou wrote, reflecting deep concern over what he sees as an unequal compromise that may hurt European producers. The deal has sparked debate in Europe, with critics saying the agreement could weaken the EU's economic standing and benefit the US disproportionately.

Meta to ban political ads in EU due to bloc's 'unworkable' rules
Meta on Friday said it will be forced to ban political advertising on its platforms in the European Union from October because of rules the Facebook and Instagram owner called "unworkable". The EU has a bolstered legal armoury to rein in Big Tech, against which Meta has hit out with the support of the US administration under President Donald Trump. "This is a difficult decision -- one we've taken in response to the EU's incoming Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA) regulation," the company said. Political, electoral and social issue advertising will no longer be allowed from October in the bloc, it said, because of "unworkable requirements" under the new rules. "Unfortunately, the TTPA introduces significant, additional obligations to our processes and systems that create an untenable level of complexity and legal uncertainty for advertisers and platforms operating in the EU," Meta added. The EU says its political advertising rules seek to increase transparency in online advertising after Facebook's Cambridge Analytica scandal, which came to light in 2018. Cambridge Analytica was a consulting firm that was found to have improperly accessed personal data from millions of Facebook users for targeted political advertising, particularly during the 2016 US election and Brexit referendum. The change is set to impact Meta's flagship platforms Facebook and Instagram, as well as WhatsApp -- which is largely ad-free but announced in June it would be introducing new advertising features in some parts of the app. Meta said it was "not the only company to have been forced into this position". Google last year announced it would also prevent political advertising in the EU from October 2025 because of the "significant new operational challenges and legal uncertainties". Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been highly critical of European rules, accusing Brussels in January of "censorship" and equating EU fines against the company to tariffs.

The 46-year-old Poosh founder has been inundated with comments about her looking pregnant in her holiday pictures from Portofino, Italy. In response, Kourtney insisted she is simply indulging in Italian cuisine and is still breastfeeding her 20-month-old son Rocky - whom she has with husband Travis Barker.

The Kardashians star - who also has Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and 10-year-old Reign with ex-partner Scott Disick - replied: 'Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!' Travis is also dad to Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana, 26, from his marriage to Shanna Moakler. And, Kourtney recently said she believes their blended family has given them a 'deeper' existence. Appearing on her sister Khloe Kardashian's Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, she said: 'I love my role as stepmom, because I don't feel like its up to me to discipline. 'We've kind of allowed each other to— we'll talk about it, he can handle the harder things. I definitely give advice or try to be a good role model. 'Some days I've thought like, 'Wow, this is really hard blending families.' But even in the days that are hard, there's so much more love. It's such a deeper, richer existence.'
