India's monsoon season grows increasingly unpredictable and devastating
India has witnessed its wettest May in 125 years, with torrential rains arriving well ahead of the usual monsoon season. Typically expected in early June, the monsoon arrived early this year, flooding cities across the country. Driven by a temperature contrast between the Indian Ocean and the Asian subcontinent, the seasonal rains account for nearly 70 percent of India's annual rainfall. But they also bring recurring floods, landslides and widespread disruption, particularly in urban areas. Now, climate change is intensifying the monsoon's impact, pushing India's already fragile infrastructure beyond its capacity. FRANCE 24's Théo Prouvost and Lisa Gamonet report.

Barghouti is 'the most qualified' to be Palestinian leader, ex-head of Mossad says
12:08 Issued on: 12:08 min From the show In an interview with FRANCE 24, former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy said "there is a major confrontation between Israel and its enemies at this particular point in time" and that Israel "had no option but to return and to make sure that we are safe". Regarding the recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Halevy called them "a success" but said it was "too early to say" if the US attack on the Fordo nuclear facility achieved its aim. Asked about the 21-month-long war in Gaza, Halevy admitted that " Hamas is still there". He also stated "I don't think we are committing war crimes" and claimed that the Israeli military is "respecting international law". Finally, the former Mossad chief described jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti as "probably the most sane and the most qualified person" to lead the Palestinians, despite Israeli government opposition.
