     Paris Pride revelers fear for safety if far-right wins election

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Paris Pride revelers fear for their rights and safety if France's far-right wins the parliamentary election :: June 29, 2024 :: Simone de Boulevard, Drag Queen “The National Rally and its far-right allies are fundamentally hateful, particularly towards LGBTQIA+ minorities. We are afraid, afraid for our access to healthcare, for our everyday safety in the streets, we know that we will be far less protected, we know that our place is really threatened.” :: Cian Grourke, Participant, Originally from the U.S. “I am worried about LGBTQ rights, I am worried about being a foreigner on a residency permit, I have called the government asking if I can apply for citizenship now because I have no idea what is going to happen in the next election. I think if the National Front takes charge of France, they will ruin it." France heads to the polls on Sunday (June 30) for the first round of a parliamentary election that opinion polls show could bring the far-right National Rally (RN) to power. The second round takes place on July 7. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin sent police and local authorities a letter on Friday calling for security reinforcements around LGBT events including Paris Pride, saying there has been an increase in discriminatory acts and "political and community antagonism" that could target such events.

     Hardliner and moderate to stand in Iran run-off

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Iran's presidential election has gone to a run-off, where a moderate lawmaker will stand against a protege of the supreme leader. It came down to a tight race between a low-profile lawmaker Massoud Pezeshkian, the sole moderate in a field of four candidates, and former Revolutionary Guards member Saeed Jalili. The Islamic Republic's interior ministry said on Saturday (June 29) that no candidate had secured enough votes and a second round will be held on July 5. Turnout in Friday's election hit a historic low of about 40%, based on an interior ministry count. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had called on voters to turn out, hoping to boost the legitimacy of the clerical establishment. But there's widespread discontent over economic hardship and restrictions on political and social freedom. And in the past few weeks, many Iranians have mocked the vote on X with the hashtag #ElectionCircus. Pezeshkian, though faithful to Iran's theocratic rule, has publicly criticized authorities over the death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman whose death in custody sparked mass unrest in Iran in 2022. He also favors detente with the West, while Jalili is staunchly anti-Western. Neither candidate is expected to usher in significant shifts for Iran, because Khamenei calls the shots on major issues like Iran's nuclear program and support for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah. But the next president would run the government and affect the tone of domestic and foreign policy, and could even influence the succession to Khamenei.

     Khamenei protege, sole moderate tied in Iran's election

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: With million of votes counted so far in Iran's snap presidential election, two candidates have emerged neck and neck - the sole moderate candidate, and a hardline conservative. Electoral officials opened ballot boxes early Saturday, after polling ended midnight. Preliminary results show moderate candidate Massoud Pezeshkian and his hardline challenger, former nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in the lead. Pezeshkian, faithful to Iran's theocratic rule, has publicly criticized authorities over the death of Mahsa Amini. She's an Iranian Kurdish woman who died in custody for allegedly violating Islamic dress code, and her death sparked mass unrest in Iran in 2022. Jalili is a protege of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's 85-year-old supreme leader. A staunch anti-Westerner, analysts say him winning could signal an even more antagonistic turn in the Islamic Republic's foreign and domestic policy. The election was sparked after the death of Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last month. It comes as tensions spike in the Middle East due to the war in Gaza, and Iranians face a struggling economy and U.S. sanctions. The end result of the vote is unlikely to alter Iran's backing for militant groups and its relations with the West. But it could alter domestic policies, and may shape succession to Khamenei, who's been in power since 1989. Public discontent, especially among Iran's youth, has kept voters away in recent elections. Some insiders said the turnout was around 40%, lower than expected by Iran's clerical rulers. In the past few weeks, Iranians have made wide use of the hashtag #ElectionCircus on X. Some activists at home and abroad called for a boycott, saying a high turnout would only serve to legitimize the Islamic Republic.

     Americans gathered at watch parties, bars, bowling allies and other venues to watch U.S. President Joe Biden and his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, meet for the first general election debate of the 2024 season — a chance for the candidates to try to reshape the political narrative and persuade undecided voters.

     Biden vows to win election after shaky debate

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: BIDEN: “I know, like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.” U.S. president Joe Biden gave no sign of dropping out of the presidential race during a rally in North Carolina on Friday… …a day after a feeble debate performance against his Republican rival Donald Trump that dismayed his fellow Democrats. BIDEN: “I don't walk as easily as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)” Biden's verbal stumbles and occasionally meandering responses during the debate heightened voter concerns that he might not be fit to serve another four-year term… even prompting some of his fellow Democrats to wonder whether they could replace him as their candidate for the Nov. 5 election. Trump: “He studied very hard. He studied so hard that he didn't know what the hell he was doing.” Meanwhile Trump - who put forward a series of falsehoods throughout the debate - appeared to take a victory lap Friday afternoon at a dueling rally in Virginia. “He got the debate rules that he wanted. He got the date that he wanted. He got the network that he wanted…” [FLASH] "We need more substance and voters deserve more substance.” Julia Azari is a political science professor at Marquette University. “...the proof there is going to be in kind what the polls look like next week. More than, more than anything, a sort of --- did this move the needle? [FLASH] it's very hard to take this out of the context of what's going on with Trump. You know, I think no matter how badly Biden did, the felony convictions, -- a much more significant story, a much more substantive story - that didn't change the polls very much." The Biden campaign said it raised $14 million on Thursday and Friday and posted its single best hour of fundraising immediately after the debate. The Trump campaign said it raised $8 million on debate night. Biden, already the oldest American president in history, faced only token opposition during the party's months-long nominating contest. He has secured enough support to guarantee his spot as the Democratic nominee. Trump likewise overcame his intra-party challengers early in the year, setting the stage for a long and bitter general election fight.

     Business, government count cost of Kenya's protests

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Francis Ochieng is struggling to come to terms with the damage inflicted on his business in Nairobi. Days of anti-government protests in Kenya were accompanied by some vandalism and looting. Ochieng says he's lost almost $10,000 after his shop was set ablaze. "It is hard, I do not know where to start, and I have a family, I have a wife with a small child and school going children, so from that day I have not eaten, you see how I am right now, I do not know where to start." :: June 26, 2024 Someone else likely counting the cost of the unrest, Kenya's President William Ruto. "I will not sign the 2024 finance bill." His withdrawal of support for a finance bill has complicated efforts to tackle Kenya's heavy debt burden. Public borrowing is 68% of GDP, higher than the 55% recommended by the World Bank and the IMF. The IMF has urged Kenya to meet revenue targets to access more funding. The unpopular finance bill would have aimed to raise $2.7 billion through taxes on items including bread, cooking oil and diapers. But now Kenya is shifting from raising revenues to cutting spending. Ruto has said he will work on austerity measures, starting with cuts to the budget of the presidency. But political analyst James Shikwati said the protests have exposed deeper issues in Kenya. "So there is a finance bill but there is also how the government is enacting its measures to widen the tax base and those measures are actually stifling or killing enterprises and its enterprises that employ young people." :: File Shikwati said Ruto's election campaign message of two years ago, when he portrayed himself as a champion of low-income "hustlers", had come back to bite him and that young people are "really, really mad at him". Some activists say they don't trust the government won't still try to implement tax rises. And many have vowed to keep calling for Ruto to step down.

     Business Lookahead: Election nerves

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: From election fever in France and Britain, to the jobs report in the U.S., these are the stories to watch in business and finance in the coming week. :: Look Ahead :: U.S. monthly employment figures The monthly U.S. jobs report comes out Friday July 5th. Economists are forecasting an increase of 180,000 jobs in June. In May, non-farm payrolls increased by 272,000, far more than expected. The Fed held interest rates steady this month and pushed out the start of rate cuts. :: France goes to the polls France is heading to the polls on Sunday in the first round of its snap election that has rattled markets. Jitters over a spending surge have stabilized… As Marine Le Pen’s leading far-right National Rally have signaled it would be fiscally responsible. Yet they are far from recovery, as French bank stocks sit on double-digit losses. :: British blues A landslide win is expected for Britain’s Labour Party on Thursday. That would boost UK stocks and government bonds, as trade-weighted sterling has bounced back to pre-Brexit levels. But Britain has vast fiscal challenges that neither party has said how they would resolve, the Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank said. :: Stand-off The Fed and a towering dollar leaves little to no room for imminent rate cuts in Asia. Inflation in most emerging Asian economies has fallen to within central banks’ targets in recent months. Though policymakers continue to keep rates higher for longer to defend their currencies. The Bank of Thailand’s Governor speaks to media on Thursday and will likely reiterate the central bank’s stance.

     Biden struggles, Trump spouts falsehoods in debate

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: A hoarse President Joe Biden has a shaky start in his debate with Donald Trump A hoarse-sounding President Joe Biden verbally stumbled early on in the CNN presidential debate with Donald Trump while Trump rattled off a series of attacks, including a number of falsehoods. :: June 27, 2024 :: Atlanta, Georgia Biden: "When I (unclear) is to fix the taxes. For example, we have a 1000 trillionaires in America, I mean billionaires in America. And what's happening? They are in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2% in taxes. If they just pay 24%, 25%, either one of those numbers, it may raise $500 million, billion dollars, I should say, in a ten year period. We would be able to right wipe out his debt, we'd be to be able to help make sure that all the things we need to do - childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary patient eligible for what I've been able to do with, with, with the COVID, excuse me, with - dealing with - everything we had to do with - look - if - we finally beat Medicare. Moderator: "Thank you, President Biden. President Trump." Trump : "He was right. He did beat Medicaid, beaten to death and is destroying Medicare." :: Trump said he would accept election results but claimed, without evidence, there was fraud in 2020 Trump: "If it's a fair and legal and good election. Absolutely. I would have much rather accepted these, but the. The fraud and everything else was ridiculous. And if you want, we'll have a news conference on it in a week or we'll have another one of these on in a week. But I will. Absolutely. There's nothing I'd rather do. It would be much easier for me to do that. Then I'm running again. I wasn't really going to run until I saw the horrible job he did. He's destroying our country." Biden: "There is no evidence of that at all. And I tell you what, I doubt you. You'll accept it because you're such a whiner. The idea if you lose again, you accept it anything. You can't stand the loss. Something snapped in you and you lost the last time. :: White House officials said Biden had a cold, but his performance may raise age concerns "We've made significant progress from the debacle that was left by President Trump in his last term."

     STORY: :: Proxies of Biden and Trump contrast the two candidates before the CNN debate :: June 27, 2024 :: Atlanta, Georgia :: Gavin Newsom, Democratic Governor of California “You know, if he shows up congruent, strong, confident, it puts it to rest. I mean, look, at the end of the day, you’ve got two older candidates. Trump's only three years younger. And I think the contrast is really around values and vision and ideas. You've got someone who wants to roll back most of the progress last half century and put America in reverse, on voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, women's rights, access to abortion, contraception, and someone that wants to own the future. Fresh air of progress as it relates to work he's done on Chips and Science Act, infrastructure, etc. So to me, it's really about the age of ideas, the staleness of Trump's ideas compared to the vibrancy and vision of President Biden's.” :: Byron Donalds, Republican Congressman “The American people realize when something is fake, when something is phony, they know when the fix is in, they know when something is political. That's what happened to Donald Trump in Lower Manhattan [REFERRING TO HIS CONVICTION IN HIS FRAUD TRIAL]. This was a violation of his constitutional rights, but it was also interfering in a presidential election. And so, I think the American people have already spoken on that. I don't think it's going to really weigh in at all because at the end of the day, the American people are worried about the future of this country, not the political games that are played by the Democrats.”

     Rival protesters on Biden-Trump presidential debate

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: ::June 28, 2024 ::Rival protesters gather in Atlanta before the presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump ::Atlanta, Georgia Queen K/Local activist "I'm here today because we have a debate, a national presidential debate between Biden and Trump. And I am heavily concerned one of the candidates has 34 felonies and should not even be allowed to stand on the stage, let alone run for presidency. And then we have another president who continues to ignore a lot of the concerns in this community and at the same time needs our vote." Kishana Holland/Biden supporter "I'm out here today for Joe Biden because he is the clear only choice in this election. We may have our, you know, problems. We may feel he may not be young enough. He may not be you know, his strength may not be there, but he's the only clear choice in this election. I don't want my reproductive rights for myself and my daughter to go back." Jimmy/Trump supporter "Well, inflation was very low on his administration. Groceries, gas, housing, everything was low when he was in office. Unemployment rate was even lower here in America as well, among all the other people. Among teenagers as well, it was low." Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, will be under pressure to display their command of issues and avoid verbal stumbles as they seek a breakout moment in a race that opinion polls show has been deadlocked for months. The 90-minute televised debate, the first between a sitting president and a former one, will air at 9 p.m. ET (0100 GMT on Friday) on CNN and takes place far earlier than normal - more than four months before the Nov. 5 Election Day. It comes at a moment of profound polarization and deep-seated anxiety among voters about the state of American politics.
