In Italy, about 100 students have occupied the Leonardo defense company's headquarters in Turin, accusing the firm of aiding Israel's military actions in Gaza, resulting in a strong backlash from the government, which condemns the protest as subversive.
Shifting to Sri Lanka, as the country prepares for a crucial parliamentary election amid economic reforms and IMF oversight, the stakes are high for President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's coalition, which hopes to capitalize on a fragmented opposition landscape.
Finally, in France, Marine Le Pen faces a serious legal challenge as prosecutors seek a prison sentence and a ban from public office, which could dramatically impact her political future and the prospects of the National Rally party in upcoming elections.
