"EU Election Polls Show Record Surge for French Far-Right National Rally"

A poll shows the French far right is expected to make significant gains in the upcoming EU election, while Russian President Putin tells Tucker Carlson that the Ukraine war could be over in a few weeks and praises Elon Musk. The EU has not sanctioned Tucker Carlson over his interview with Putin, despite calls from members of the European Parliament. Additionally, France is pushing the EU to regulate the football Super League out of existence, and Sweden has dropped its Nord Stream sabotage probe, leaving it to Berlin and Copenhagen to determine responsibility.

"Controversial French Far-Right Figure Halts Crowdfunding for Officer Involved in Teen Shooting"

Jean Messiha, a French far-right figure, has closed a divisive crowdfunding campaign that raised over 1.5 million euros ($1.63 million) for the family of a police officer jailed for killing a 17-year-old, which sparked riots across France. Critics accused Messiha of spreading hate and pitting the far-right against residents of poor suburbs with a high immigrant population. The unrest, driven by a teenage backlash against perceived discrimination, has started to subside, but reports have emerged of the death of a 27-year-old man in Marseille, possibly caused by police riot control measures. Messiha's crowdfunding campaign faced legal challenges and accusations of deception from the victim's family.
