A nation’s up in arms but Emmanuel Macron still fancies his chances. By turning passage of a very unpopular pension reform bill into a vote of confidence, the French president convinced enough conservatives to avoid bringing down the government, but it was close. Nine votes. We ask about the lasting impact on the rest of Macron’s term-limited four …

Accidents can happen, as the song goes. But for the Pentagon, the Russians tempted fate when they first dumped fuel on a US reaper drone and then clipped the unmanned surveillance craft.

Fallujah is one of the cities that has paid the highest price for the US-led invasion of Iraq two decades ago.
