An AI-generated tabloid magazine cover online claimed to show President Emmanuel Macron and Iranian-French actress Golshifteh Farahani together. The fake cover builds on claims from a new book about the Macrons by a French journalist, who alleges the pair had a “platonic” relationship, of which the text messages prompted the now infamous "slap" by French First Lady Brigitte Macron, as the couple exited the plane in Hanoi.
Mr. Streeting, a confident communicator from the right of the Labour Party, comes from a working-class background and said he was influenced by his Tory grandfather.
On Wednesday, Paris Match journalist Florian Tardif published his book "Un couple (presque) parfait" about Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.
Russia has hit Ukraine with drones and ballistic missiles in an overnight attack. At least one person was killed and more than 30 others injured in the capital, Kyiv, according to local authorities.
