Emmanuel Macron & his wife's shocking conversation after shoving incident decoded by lip reader, ‘Stay away, you loser'
A lip reader has revealed what French President Emmanuel Macron's wife said after shoving him in the face in a viral video. A shocking clip that has surfaced shows Brigitte Macron placing both hands on Macron's face and shoving him firmly moments after his plane door opened upon arriving in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, on Sunday evening.
A professional lip reader has now decoded the scathing remark Brigitte made right after shoving her husband. 'As the aircraft door opens, President Macron is seen turning toward Brigitte. In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face,' the lip reader told The Express.
After the door opened, Macron seemed to notice that the cameras were on him. He then said 'Hi' and raised his hand. 'Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, 'Let's go,'' the lip reader said. 'Emmanuel then steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crossing to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with, 'Let's go,'' the lip reader said.
The lip reader added, 'But at the top of the stairs, things turn icy again. He offers his arm; she ignores it, choosing to cling to the railing instead. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 'Dégage, espèce de loser,' translated in English, 'Stay away, you loser.''
The lip reader said that Macron said moments later, 'Essayons, s'il te plaît' — which translated to, 'Let's try, please?'
Brigitte replied, 'Non.'
'His closing expression, and the phrase lipread as 'Je vois,' translated in english 'I see' says it all,' the lip reader said. 'Hot Take: A rare unguarded exchange that hints at deeper tensions between the couple. One to watch, especially with a packed diplomatic schedule ahead.'
Macron appeared shocked after being shoved by his wife, but seemed to recover quickly upon realizing the public would be watching. While heading down the staircase, Brigitte did not take her husband's arm.
While Macron's office initially said the footage was not authentic, it later confirmed that it was actually genuine. 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' Macron said of the incident, claiming that the video was being overblown into 'a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe' by his enemies.
'People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down,' he added.

Europe sees growing China-Russia alliance as world's top security threat
European leaders headed to Asia this week with a key message: We need to work closer together to preserve the rules-based order against threats from China and Russia. Kaja Kallas, the European Union's top diplomat, and French President Emmanuel Macron emphasised the links between Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine and Russia's deepening relationship with China during a range of appearances in Southeast Asia in recent days. 'When China and Russia speak of leading together changes not seen in a hundred years and of revisions of the global security order, we should all be extremely worried,' she added. Kallas accused China of enabling Russia's war machine, saying 80% of dual-use goods used to fight Ukraine come from the world's second-biggest economy. She noted how US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned about China's threat to the rest of Asia, and said Russia should also be a top concern. 'If you are worried about China, you should be worried about Russia,' Kallas said. Western officials accuse China of supplying Russia with critical technologies, including drones, while saying that both nations have engaged in cyberattacks, acts of sabotage and dangerous activities related to infrastructure such as deep-sea cables. Kallas called on European and Asian partners to work together on tackling covert shadow fleets of tankers and to review maritime security laws. North Korea's direct support of Russia's war efforts – including missiles, ammunition and troops – has further brought the conflict closer to home on both sides of the world. 'If China doesn't want NATO being involved in Southeast Asia or in Asia, they should prevent North Korea from engaging on European soil,' Macron said in a keynote address in Singapore on Friday. Speaking to reporters after a meeting on Thursday of a little-known defense grouping known as the Five Power Defence Arrangements, which brings together the Commonwealth nations of Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand and the UK, officials from several member countries acknowledged some common challenges. That included risks against underwater information infrastructure in Europe and Asia. 'It is a complex and new area,' said General Mohd Nizam Jaffar, Malaysia's chief of defense forces. 'But we are looking into it.' China Absence China's defense minister, Dong Jun, isn't in Singapore this week — an absence that surprised European officials. It's the first time since 2019 that China hasn't sent its top military diplomat to the annual forum, where the head of delegation typically delivers a speech and takes questions on the third day of the event. The relationship between China and Russia is complicated. While on the surface the two sides have expressed a 'no limits' friendship that has seen them step up military and political exchanges, they still have key differences. Russia has long wanted China to buy more of its non-energy products and is wary of an influx of cheap Chinese goods with the exodus of Western brands. Beijing has spoken out against Russia's nuclear threats and is cautious of being perceived as too closely linked to Russia, as that could carry the risk of sanctions and hurt the potential to improve ties with Europe in a world rattled by US President Donald Trump's tariffs and volatility. Nations in the Indo-Pacific and Southeast Asia are caught between the threat of dramatically higher US levies and a surge of cheaper Chinese goods that could cost them manufacturing jobs. Many rely on China economically and the US for defense, an arrangement that Hegseth challenged in a speech at the forum on Saturday. In an apparent jab at the US and China a day earlier, Macron condemned 'revisionist countries' that seek to impose 'spheres of coercion.' He called for fresh cooperation between Europe and Asia based on free trade, jointly mitigating risks and autonomous decision-making. In Europe's case, that means being allied to the US as a matter of choice but not being dependent on it, while wanting to cooperate and compete fairly with China. 'Our shared responsibility is to ensure with others that our countries are not collateral victims of the imbalances linked to the choices made by the superpowers,' the French president said. European leaders in Singapore, including Macron and Kallas, have pitched the bloc as a reliable and credible ally to nations worried about having to choose between the US and China. Europe has a long-term, strategic commitment to this region, Kallas said on Saturday. 'If you reject unilateralism, bullying and aggression, and instead choose cooperation, shared prosperity and common security, the European Union will always be by your side,' she said.

APCC slams coalition govt over schools' closure
Vijayawada: Narapareddy Kiran Kumar Reddy, official spokesperson for the Congress Party, on Friday strongly condemned the ruling coalition government's policies regarding education, particularly the closure of schools and the proposed changes to the medium of instruction. Reddy highlighted a stark contrast between past and present educational policies. 'Under the Congress government, during the tenure of late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, thousands of primary schools were established in undivided Andhra Pradesh to ensure every poor child had access to education as part of the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act,' he stated. 'Today, the coalition government is closing thousands of schools.' He expressed concern that the bifurcation of primary schools into 'Basic Primary Schools' and 'Model Primary Schools' is an attempt by the coalition government to deprive poor students of education. He further warned, 'Out of approximately 33,000 primary schools in the state, only 7,000 to 8,000 are being designated as Model Primary Schools. The remaining Basic Primary Schools are at risk of closing in the coming days.' Reddy criticised the government's decision to convert all schools into single-medium English schools, completely eliminating Telugu medium education, which he termed 'atrocious.' He condemned the previous YSRCP government for allegedly selling medical seats under the NRI quota in newly-established government medical colleges. He also slammed the current coalition government's reported plans to hand over medical colleges to private entities. He also pointed out the failure to pay wages to MGNREGS workers for several months, despite the scheme which was introduced by the Congress Party specified payment within 15 days. 'Under the leadership of State party president Sharmila, all Congress Party cadres will question all anti-people actions of the coalition government on behalf of the public and in matters concerning public issues,' Reddy concluded.
