He also denied having made campaign "promises" about starting any wars before walking out entirely.  3432f5c0-636e-11f1-9afb-1104cd0fccb0Mon, 08 Jun 2026 19:51:07 GMTVedika BAHLhttps://www.france24.com/en/france-s-justice-minister-decision-not-to-resign-may-well-be-taken-out-of-his-hands France's justice minister Gerald Darmanin Monday refused to resign after outrage erupted over judicial lapses in the handling of the suspect in an 11-year-old girl's killing.

He argues that Peru's chronic instability is rooted as much in institutional weaknesses as in electoral competition. The reintroduction of a bicameral legislature, he notes, may help curb the cycle in which Congress has repeatedly "deposed presidents and reinstated new ones," but neither candidate is likely to enjoy the parliamentary support necessary to govern decisively. Peru's presidential election is unfolding against a backdrop of deep political fragmentation, rising insecurity, and growing public distrust in democratic institutions.  eb6bf17a-6359-11f1-a8ef-b99f823142cbMon, 08 Jun 2026 16:55:38 GMTFRANCE24Asia / Pacifichttps://www.france24.com/en/asia-pacific/20260608-a-special-sense-of-closeness-china-s-xi-vows-stronger-ties-with-north-korea-in-rare-visit Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday said that China world not swerve from its commitment ​to safeguarding common interests with North Korea or waver in its support for Kim Jong Un during a rare summit between the two leaders in Pyongyang.

Amid the latest escalation between Iran, Israel, and the US, Lucas warns that both Tehran and Jerusalem are increasingly willing to act independently of Washington's preferences, exposing what he describes as Donald Trump's diminishing ability to dictate events. He also argues that Tehran is actively seeking to reshape the diplomatic framework, insisting on linking developments in Lebanon, the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and regional security into a single bargaining process.  8d3f6b8c-634e-11f1-b9b9-afa446949b9cMon, 08 Jun 2026 15:35:21 GMTFRANCE24Europehttps://www.france24.com/en/europe/20260608-pope-urges-spanish-church-to-adopt-culture-of-care-reparations-for-sex-abuse-survivors Pope Leo XIV told Spanish bishops on Monday to provide reparations and adopt a "culture of care" ahead of an expected meeting with survivors of clergy sexual abuse during his weeklong visit to the country. The Spanish hierarchy had largely dismissed the scale of abuse in their church for decades until a newspaper began documenting a legacy of abuse and cover-up. 8dc105a6-634a-11f1-b9cc-33fbd0020134Mon, 08 Jun 2026 15:08:02 GMT© Stefano Redellandini, AFPFRANCE 24Down to Earthhttps://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/down-to-earth/20260608-squid-fleets-exposed-investigation-reveals-illegal-fishing-and-forced-labour June 8 marks World Oceans Day, a global event held every year to raise awareness of the impact of human actions on the ocean.

The killing of 11-year-old Lyhanna has ignited a wave of public anger across France, prompting demonstrations in more than 200 cities and renewed scrutiny of how the justice system handles violence against women and children. Ms. Slimani argues that the tragedy is not simply the result of an individual failure but rather it "reveals a much broader dysfunction and systemic crisis in the entire French justice system: judicial delays, chronic underfunding, and a widening gap between reports of sexual violence and successful prosecutions.  f27171f2-6345-11f1-99ec-33fbd0020134Mon, 08 Jun 2026 14:47:29 GMTFRANCE24https://www.france24.com/en/israel-shuts-down-following-war-flare-up-with-iran Iran and Israel say they've now halted attacks, after their first exchange of fire since a ceasefire in April.
