After pouring at least $260 million to help get Donald Trump re-elected U. S. President, and being handsomely rewarded with a job to co-lead a new government department, the world’s richest man is now training his eyes on Europe. In the U. K., Musk has launched a barrage of attacks at the center-left British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, calling for him to be thrown in jail for allegedly covering up “grooming gangs.” In Germany, he has called the Social Democratic Chancellor Olaf Scholz “a fool” and the party’s president an “anti-democratic tyrant.” He is throwing his lot in with the Alternative for Germany (AfD)—a party that is so extreme that it has received rebuke from others on the European far-right—ahead of a crucial election on Feb.

Hailaierke emerged from his corner in a southpaw pose, before abruptly switching to an orthodox stance inside the octagonal ring in the central Chinese city of Lüliang. Whether that sudden shift befuddled his opponent is unclear, but just 40 seconds later Shang Zhifa was sprawled on the canvas, felled by a vicious right hand. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] It was a first-round knockout that won Hailaierke the 1 million rmb ($135,000) top prize at the Dec.

In 2017, Beijing unveiled an ambitious roadmap to dominate artificial intelligence development, aiming to secure global leadership by 2030. By 2020, the plan called for “iconic advances” in AI to demonstrate its progress. Then in late 2022, OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT took the world by surprise—and caught China flat-footed. At the time, leading Chinese technology companies were still reeling from an 18-month government crackdown that shaved around $1 trillion off China’s tech sector.

Justin Trudeau had a special bond with Canadians, who had known him since he was born, on Christmas Day in 1971, as the son of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. That bond helped him get his Dad’s old job. In his first federal election as Liberal leader in 2015, his Conservative opponents warned Canadians that he was a lightweight, a celebrity with nice hair but no relevant work experience.

PARIS — Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of France’s far-right National Front who was known for fiery rhetoric against immigration and multiculturalism that earned him both staunch supporters and widespread condemnation, has died. He was 96. A polarizing figure in French politics, Le Pen’s controversial statements, including Holocaust denial, led to multiple convictions and strained his political alliances. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Le Pen, who once reached the second round of the 2002 presidential election, was eventually estranged from his daughter, Marine Le Pen, who renamed his National Front party, kicked him out and transformed it into one of France’s most powerful political forces while distancing herself from her father’s extremist image. Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally as the party is now known, confirmed Le Pen’s death in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday.
