Philadelphia (AFP) - US President Joe Biden was back out on the campaign trail Sunday, desperate to salvage his reelection bid as senior Democrats meet to discuss growing calls that he quit the White House race. The 81-year-old Democrat took the stage at a predominantly Black church in Philadelphia, part of a two-stop swing in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, before he hosts the NATO leaders' summit in Washington later this week. He is campaigning under an increasingly unforgiving spotlight, as pressure mounts for him to drop out after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last mon...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden heads back out on the campaign trail Sunday, desperate to salvage his re-election bid as senior Democrats meet to discuss growing calls that he quit the White House race. The 81-year-old Democrat kicks off a grueling week with two campaign rallies in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, before hosting the NATO leaders' summit in Washington. He will do so under an increasingly unforgiving spotlight, as pressure mounts for him to drop out after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last month ignited panic over his age and fitness to serve anoth...

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - A long-awaited showdown will take place this week in a historic Wild West frontier town, with both sides seeking justice for a fatal bullet fired from a six-shooter. But if Alec Baldwin's trial for manslaughter sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the victims, the stakes and the tragic consequences are all too real. In October 2021, on the New Mexico set of his low-budget Western "Rust," a gun pointed by Baldwin discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer and wounding its director. Such is Baldwin's A-list fame and the rarity of on-set ...

Washington (AFP) - Quatre scientifiques ont achevé samedi une mission de 378 jours dans des conditions martiennes pour la Nasa à Houston, aux Etats-Unis, afin de mieux préparer une possible installation humaine sur la planète rouge. Un astronaute de l'agence américaine frappe trois fois à une porte qui paraît quelconque. "Prêts à sortir ?", demande-t-il avec entrain. La réponse de l'intérieur est inaudible. Sous son masque, il semble se fendre d'un sourire en ouvrant d'un coup sec. Quatre scientifiques sortent sous les acclamations. Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones et la cheffe d'équ...

Washington (AFP) - The NASA astronaut knocks loudly three times on a what appears to be a nondescript door, and calls cheerfully: "You ready to come out?" The reply is inaudible, but beneath his mask he appears to be grinning as he yanks the door open -- and four scientists who have spent a year away from all other human contact, simulating a mission to Mars, spill out to cheers and applause. Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones and team leader Kelly Haston have spent the past 378 days sealed inside the "Martian" habitat in Houston, Texas, part of NASA's research into what it will take t...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden's presidential reelection bid hung in the balance Saturday, after his latest efforts to put a disastrous debate showing behind him failed to silence voices urging him to quit the White House race. Murmurs of dissent within his own Democratic Party have –- in the case of five individual House representatives -- morphed into direct calls for him to drop out. And a number of key donors have threatened to cut off funding if Biden insists on staying the course. "I do not believe that the President can effectively campaign and win against Donald Trump," Angie Craig, the ...

New York (AFP) - More than five years after two fatal 737 MAX crashes, Boeing faces a fresh legal reckoning now that prosecutors have concluded the company flouted an earlier settlement addressing the disasters. The aviation giant had been on a Friday night deadline to accept or reject a Department of Justice proposal that would require it to plead guilty to fraud during the certification of MAX airplanes, sources told AFP. There had been no public comment either way by the evening, and a lawyer for the families of the 737 crash victims, Robert Clifford, told AFP that he believed the deadline ...

Miami (AFP) - Attorneys for Donald Trump asked a judge on Friday to pause his case on charges of mishandling top secret documents, citing a Supreme Court ruling that a former president has broad immunity from prosecution. Trump, 78, is accused in an indictment filed in Florida by Special Counsel Jack Smith of endangering national security by holding onto top secret documents after leaving the White House. In a court filing on Friday, Trump's lawyers asked District Court Judge Aileen Cannon for a partial stay of proceedings to allow for an assessment of the "implications" of the Supreme Court r...

Bucharest (AFP) - A Romanian court on Friday eased travel restrictions on controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, allowing them to travel within the European Union while awaiting trial over human trafficking and rape charges. US-born Briton Tate and his brother Tristan, who say they are innocent, are accused of having formed an organised criminal network in early 2021 in Romania and in Britain. The former professional kickboxer and his brother face charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal group to sexually exploit women. The Bucharest court on Friday said it "ord...

Washington (AFP) - The White House communications strategy for dealing with President Joe Biden's dismal debate performance against Donald Trump appears to have only made things worse. In choosing what information about the president's physical and mental fitness to share, Biden and his staff have been unforthcoming, and even flippant -- one aide likened people calling for Biden to drop out of the race to babies wetting the bed. "The White House fumbled this," California lawmaker Katie Porter told CNN. "The presidential debate was awful for Joe Biden, but the cover-up has been worse," The Econ...
