International Development Secretary Liz Truss said French President Emmanuel Macron was wrong to claim the AstraZeneca vaccine is “quasi-ineffective” for the over-65s.She told The Andrew Marr Show on the BBC: “I don’t think it’s right for politicians to be commenting or making decisions about the efficacy of vaccines, that’s why we have independent authorities to look at these vaccines.“In the UK’s case, our authorities have said this vaccine is safe and effective, it’s being rolled out and it’s already making a difference.”
Liz Truss has described the blame she received over her mini-budget as "pathetic." Ms Truss was forced to stand down as prime minister in 2022 when her "mini budget" triggered a market meltdown. Speaking on stage at the Conservatives conference in Birmingham, the former prime minister said: "How on earth can we move forward as a country if people can't actually talk about the facts but instead throw insults around? I just think that's pathetic." Report by Kennedyl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
The Nations League match between France and Israel at the Stade de France on Thursday was marred by rising tensions fueled by the Gaza conflict. French fans booed the Israeli national anthem, while minor scuffles broke out near the Israeli fans' section. Anti-Israeli protests erupted outside the stadium, and the match itself was overshadowed by political and social unrest. With French President Macron in attendance, this game became more than just a sporting event – it turned into a flashpoint for growing racial and geopolitical tensions. Watch as we break down what led to the chaos and what it means for France and Israel’s relations in the context of the ongoing Gaza war.
