En raison des obsèques du pape François, TF1 et France 2 bouleversent leur programmation ce samedi 26 avril 2025 en matinée. Plusieurs émissions ne seront pas à l'antenne…

Funeral to begin at 10am local time in St Peter’s Square and will be presided over by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re

The oldest child of Italians who migrated to Argentina, Pope Francis had, from the start, made the defence of refugees a cornerstone of his papacy, ensuring in July 2013 that his first pastoral trip outside Rome was to the remote island of Lampedusa.

The tiny rocky strip had emerged as a magnet for smuggling rings bringing people across the Mediterranean from north Africa.

Ne vous fiez pas aux apparences. Sous ses airs de jeu terriblement moderne grâce au moteur graphique Unreal Engine 5, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered cache un gameplay qui a pris un sérieux coup de vieux. Pour revivre des sensations d'antan, c'est cool. Mais, en soi, le projet n'a aucun sens.

Need something brilliant to read this weekend? Here are six of our favourite pieces from the last seven days

Exhausted residents point out latest drone strike came hours after Donald Trump’s rare rebuke to Vladimir Putin

About 1am on Friday, Yuliia Verbytska woke to the sound of an air raid siren. She grabbed her teenage children – Dmitry, 17, and Olexiy, 12 – and sat in the corridor, checking her phone. In the sky above came an ominous whine. Minutes later, a Russian drone crashed into the disused soap factory down the road in Polyova Street. There was an enormous explosion.

“We don’t have a shelter in our building, so we hide behind two concrete walls. All the neighbours sit together. You wonder if this is your last moment,” she said. Friday’s raid followed a massive attack on Thursday on Verbytska’s home, Ukraine’s second city, Kharkiv, and on the capital, Kyiv, where 12 people were killed. “I haven’t slept for two days,” she said wearily.

Pop’s top matriarch is finally getting the credit she’s due. She talks about her shock diagnosis, conspiracy theories about her family, and the Instagram posts that get her in trouble with her kids

It’s been a decade since Tina Knowles started dictating her life story into her phone for her grandchildren and future great-grandchildren. She wanted them to know their history – her early life and world were so different from theirs, she might as well have been from another planet. Knowles, the youngest of seven, born to a docker and seamstress, grew up poor in segregated Texas. Her grandchildren, born to Knowles’s superstar daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, are growing up in Los Angeles and New York with unimaginable wealth, but under unimaginable scrutiny.

A couple of years ago, Knowles started writing a book that was supposed to be her behind-the-scenes take on the outfits she had created for her daughters’ music careers – the dazzling triple-denim looks she had cobbled together from fabric remnants and army-surplus stores, with almost no budget, for Beyoncé’s group Destiny’s Child in the 1990s. She was still improvising costumes once Beyoncé had gone solo and could have her pick of designer clothes; even the singer’s spectacular recent Renaissance tour had input from her mother.

Coming from Egypt, I know a dictatorship when I see one. The same can’t be said for the white voters who brought Trump to power

“What’s he done now?” My parents live in Cairo and I’m in New York City. We FaceTime once a week and that question is like a game we play. My parents ask about Donald Trump and I ask about Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, whom Trump calls “my favourite dictator”. Aren’t we Egyptian-Americans lucky – a dictator for each side of our hyphen.

Tellingly, the “he” my parents ask about has dominated our conversations lately.
