Special Prosecutor Calls for Recusal Amid Cornell Rape Case

French high‑school students, parents, universities and unions marched nationwide demanding more school resources and less policing. Police in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Rennes responded with tear gas and water cannon, sparking widespread criticism without major injuries. The unrest highlights tensions over public‑service funding and civil liberties, triggering a government review of education budgets. The protests illustrate how youth activism can challenge state authority and prompt policy discussion.

Prof. Francis Halzen, now a U.S. citizen, was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his leadership in building the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. IceCube uses a cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice fitted with thousands of optical sensors to catch fleeting flashes from high‑energy neutrinos, particles that can travel unimpeded across the cosmos. The prize recognises not only the scientific breakthrough but also the international collaboration that made the project possible, involving scientists from the U.S., Sweden, Germany, and other countries. The award highlights how probing ghost particles can illuminate violent processes in distant galaxies, and it underscores the steady, long‑term investment required for frontier research in extreme environments.
