King Charles III Boosts His Charity Fundraiser With First Appearance at Gala Joined by Lionel Richie

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK (AP) — Spring gala season tends to draw celebrated artists and fashion icons to star-studded black-tie fundraisers around New York City. With a guest list boasting Lionel Richie and Anna Wintour, The King’s Trust Global Gala looked no different Wednesday evening. But one distinguished guest — even if his fleeting stop consisted of a three-and-a-half-minute speech — brought a buzz that had some members of high society lining up along velvet ropes and craning their necks inside Christie’s New York auction house. That would be King Charles III, who made his first appearance in the five-year history of the event supporting his nonprofit that helps young people find work. The excitement was evident from the red carpet. Charlotte Tilbury, the British cosmetics entrepreneur, asked Martha Stewart, who wore a sparkling blue dress, if she would tell Charles that she wore “royal blue just for you.” Natasha Poonawalla — the executive director of the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — said “everyone’s been waiting for him.” “I think the fact …

Lionel Messi Scores 2 Goals, Inter Miami Beats Rapids 3-2, Extends Unbeaten Streak to 7 Games

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Lionel Messi had two goals, Germán Berterame scored for the second consecutive game, and Inter Miami beat the Colorado Rapids 3-2 on Saturday to extend their unbeaten streak to seven games and win their first game under interim coach Guillermo Hoyos. Hoyos, who had been serving as club’s sporting director, took over coaching duties after Javier Mascherano unexpectedly left the club due to personal reasons. Mascherano led Inter Miami to the 2025 MLS Cup title in his only full season with the club. Messi, who opened the scoring when he converted a penalty kick in the 13th minute, scored the go-ahead goal in 79th minute. After a Colorado turnover near midfield, Messi cut back near the right corner of the penalty box and flicked a rising shot that split a pair of defenders and slipped inside the back post. Messi has seven goal this season, tied with Sam Surridge and Petar Musa for most in MLS. Miami (4-1-3) hasn’t lost since a season-opening 3-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC. Yannick …

Lionel Jospin (1937-2026): ‘Highly respected moral and intellectual figure among left wing’ – Spotlight

Lionel Jospin (1937-2026): ‘Highly respected moral and intellectual figure among left wing’ – Spotlight

Published by Sam Flores

François Picard is pleased to welcome Damien Lecomte, political scientist and researcher at CRPS-CESSP, Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne University. According to Dr. Lecomte, there is a persistent tension between unity and fragmentation in French politics, and the legacy of Lionel Jospin illustrates this paradox: a figure of moral integrity and intellectual rigour who successfully governed a broad left-wing coalition, yet was ultimately defeated by a divided electorate on the left. Jospin died on Sunday at the age of 88. For Dr. Lecomte, what emerges from both historical reflection and recent French municipal elections is a deep structural challenge. The left remains anchored in urban strongholds, but struggles to reconcile its moderate and radical components, while the right faces similar pressures in balancing traditional conservatism with the gravitational pull of the far right. Meanwhile, the National Rally continues its steady territorial implantation, particularly outside major cities, reshaping the political landscape not through dramatic victories but through cumulative local gains. This produces a fragmented political field in which no camp easily achieves coherence. Electoral dynamics are increasingly shaped by geography, …

Former French PM Lionel Jospin dies at 88 – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

Jospin, a defender of traditional parties, had criticized President Emmanuel Macron for making them obsolete and the French president’s “hubris” in a book published in 2020. Macron praised Jospin as “a great French figure” in a social media post Monday. “Through his rigor, courage and ideal of progress, he embodied a lofty vision of the Republic,” Macron wrote on X. Jospin, who successfully united the left camp during his tenure as the party’s leader in the 1990s and became prime minister in 1997, supported the left-wing alliance uniting the Socialists, the Greens and far-left France Unbowed during the 2022 legislative election campaign. But he cautioned against France Unbowed leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s disruptive political strategy shortly after the election, warning of its potentially destructive effects on the broader left in an interview with Le Monde. Jospin’s death was announced the morning after local elections that are setting the scene for the 2027 presidential race, at a time when the left is weakened by deep divisions among moderates over whether uniting with a dominant but increasingly toxic Mélenchon is inevitable — or …

PARIS, March 23 (Reuters) – At 8 p.m. on April 21, 2002, voters learned the shock first-round results of France’s presidential election. For the first time in the Republic’s history, a ⁠far-right candidate – ⁠Jean-Marie Le Pen – would advance to the runoff. Minutes later, Lionel Jospin addressed his supporters. The leading ⁠candidate of the left, who many had believed would be the next president, said he took full responsibility for the unexpected defeat. As cries rose from the crowd, Jospin – pale but composed – announced that he was withdrawing from political life. The ​Socialist prime minister would never again hold elected office. Asked years later about that career-ending poll, he said: “One may regret not having had the chance to prove oneself when there was a single step left to climb, and one stumbled before that step.” It was a typically restrained reflection from a politician often viewed as austere. Jospin, who was unable to convert his leadership of France’s ‌government at the turn of the century into a winning presidential bid, has …

Lionel Messi: Some fans whistle as Messi’s name is announced as Paris Saint-Germain’s season hits new low

Published by Sam Flores

CNN  —  Paris Saint-Germain’s miserable season went from bad to worse on Sunday as the team suffered a second straight home defeat with a 1-0 loss to Lyon. Even before the game kicked off, Lionel Messi bore the brunt of the frustrations of some PSG fans who whistled when his name appeared on the big screen during the announcement of the starting lineup. After Alexadre Lacazette missed a first-half penalty, Bradley Barcola’s goal 10 minutes into the second period was enough to earn Lyon the three points on a night that PSG rarely looked like threatening the visiting goal. Lens’ 1-0 victory over Rennes and Marseille’s 1-1 draw with Montepellier means both teams are now just six points behind PSG at the top of Ligue 1, and even the domestic title may slip from the team’s grasp. The reaction of some fans on Sunday must have felt a world away from the adulation and worship Messi received during his recent return to Argentina for friendlies against Panama and Curaçao as the country continued its World …
