THE GUARDIAN: Duke of Sussex says Associated Newspapers has made Meghan’s life ‘an absolute misery’ and alleges it used unlawful means to secure stories
Prince Harry has accused the publisher of the Daily Mail of wanting to drive him “to drugs and drinking” by placing his life under surveillance, as he told the high court that it continued to “come after” him and his wife.
The Duke of Sussex was on the verge of tears as he said Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL) had continued to make Meghan’s life “an absolute misery” during his litigation against it.
He is alleging the publisher used unlawful information gathering to secure stories about him and those close to him.
In a brief speech at the end of his court appearance, the duke accused the publisher of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday of “delving into every single aspect of my private life, listening in to calls, blagging flights so they can find out where I’m going”. » | Michael Savage, Media editor | Wednesday, Hanuary 21, 2026

Fuck Trump! Fuck America! I said yesterday in German what I think. Trump is a disgrace. We Europeans want nothing to do with Trump or his far-right, Nazi ideology. Europe has been there once before, and it didn’t end well. So please, dear leaders, grow a spine and shun this geriatiric. — © Marl Alexander

Jan 21, 2026 | We’re now one year into Trump’s second term; domestically, he’s converted the U.S. into a full-blown authoritarian regime. On the international front, well… the entire world hates our guts. In fact, the world’s frustration with America’s fascist dictator has reached a boiling point. Tensions are so bad that Canada and Denmark—our own allies–are now preparing for war with the United States. Our southern neighbor, Mexico, is also on edge after Trump threatened to invade them last week. Leaders around the world are finally coming together to punish the United States for Trump’s petulance and belligerence. In this video we’ll reflect on the damage Trump’s second term has caused in its first year.

George Conway explains.
Jan 21, 2026 | US President Donald Trump is visiting Switzerland to meet world leaders at a summit in Davos. It comes after Trump says he will add a 10% tariff to goods imported from eight European countries that oppose his plan to take over Greenland. First on the day's agenda for President Trump is a reception with business leaders, before he makes a speech to the World Economic Forum later.
Jan 21, 2026 | Der Anspruch Trumps, dass Grönland ein Teil der USA sein müsste, hält Europa immer noch auf Trab. Bei Markus Lanz erklärt der in Dänemark geborene Claus Ruhe Madsen, der Wirtschaftsminister in Schleswig-Holstein ist, dass Europa endlich stark gegen Donald Trump auftreten müsse, bevor dieser uns endgültig für zu schwach hält. Madsen (CDU) warnt, Europa müsse "jetzt endlich aufzuhören, sich in Klein-Klein zu verhaken.“

Jan 21, 2026 | MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell details how world leaders are pushing back against Donald Trump as “the crybaby in chief” threatened to takeover Greenland as he tried to tout what he called his one-year accomplishments with “the kind of Trumpian display of ignorance and lying that we have become accustomed to.”
Jan 21, 2026 | Sen. Bernie Sanders believes that President Trump's push to pry Greenland away from Denmark is so unpopular with the American people that his Republican colleagues in Congress may step in to stop it from happening. Keep watching for two more segments with Sen. Sanders.
Jan 21, 2026 | US president Donald Trump's threats to take over Greenland are dominating the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Asked how far he was willing to go to acquire the Danish territory, Trump said (quote) “You’ll find out.” Trump is now headed to the annual meeting of global leaders - after an electrical issue forced Air Force One to turn back to a base near Washington. The journey continued with some delay aboard a second jet. One of Trump's political rivals is already in Davos. California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom - a likely presidential candidate in 2028 - accused world leaders AND the European Union of being soft on the US president.
Jan 21, 2026 | Greenland’s Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, Naaja Nathanielsen, and Republican Congressman Andy Ogles, who has introduced the “Make Greenland Great Again” bill to the US Congress, debate President Trump’s aim to acquire the territory. Interview by Victoria Derbyshire.
Andy Ogles is most UNIMPRESSIVE. His arguments are WEAK. America has plenty of scope to protect itself through the existing arrangements, through NATO. NATO was formed for that reason. And if Greenland is so important to Trump, why doesn’t he just increase the US presence there? But no! Trump, as a real estate dude, wants to add Greenland to his property PORTFOLIO. At the expense of the Greenlanders and the Danes, of course. By the way, the sum of $100,000 per Greenlander in a purchase agreement is simply DERISORY. Greenlanders would have to relinquish their right to free healthcare and dental care. Free at the point of delivery. $100,000 wouldn’t take a Greenlander very far in the US healthcare casino. — © Mark Alexander
Jan 21, 2026 | “Trump has decided to sink the European Union,” declares one Russian paper today writing about Greenland. Lots about Greenland in the Russian press. But also domestic economic problems: “Prices ready to soar”, Moscow cafes closing & “Russia’s car industry completely dependent on China’s.”
Jan 20, 2026 | On 14 September 2025, a demonstration broke out outside the Hassan II hospital in Agadir after eight women died during caesarean sections. These tragedies sparked a wave of anger at the state of the health service in Morocco. Protests quickly spread throughout the country with young people taking the lead.

Donald Trump’s claim that Norway controls the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t just sour grapes — it’s a tell. In this video, we break down how Trump’s Nobel obsession exposes a worldview where every institution is corrupt, every alliance is transactional, and diplomacy is replaced by tariffs and threats. From his push to seize Greenland and bully NATO allies, to his deal-first approach to healthcare and Gaza, to his attacks on Europe that conveniently serve Russian interests, this is the presidency run like a hostile real estate takeover. If everything looks like a shakedown, it’s because Trump thinks that’s how power works.

Trump Walks Back Greenland Tariffs Threat, Citing Vague ‘Deal’ over Territory
THE GUARDIAN: US president claims ‘framework’ of agreement in the works after ‘very productive’ meeting with Nato secretary general
Donald Trump has walked back his threat to impose sweeping US tariffs on eight European countries, claiming he had agreed “the framework of a future deal” on Greenland.
Four days after vowing to introduce steep import duties on a string of US allies over their support for Greenland’s continued status as an autonomous Danish territory, the president backed down.
The US will not hit Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland with tariffs of 10% from 1 February after all, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Over the weekend, he had also threatened to lift the tariffs to 25% from 1 June.
The threat had prompted widespread apprehension; criticism from senior European politicians, who declared they “will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed”; and warnings from economists. » | Lauren Aratani in New York and Andrew Roth | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

World Leaders DESTROY Trump at Davos
Jan 21, 2026 | World leaders are no longer biting their tongues. In this supercut from the World Economic Forum in Davos, world leaders hit back at Donald Trump after his explosive threats to invade Greenland and slap tariffs on Europe for their opposition to it. From the main stage in Switzerland to side events packed with political heavyweights, the message is clear: sovereignty is not for sale, and economic bullying won’t go unanswered.
Hear from French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as they warn that Trump’s rhetoric is dragging the world into chaos.
Speaking in Davos, leaders describe a moment where the rules-based global order is under pressure from trade wars, territorial threats, and power politics that risk destabilising Europe and beyond.
California Governor Gavin Newsom was also present, and branded Trump a “wrecking ball”. He said the former president is unmoored from the norms that have shaped diplomacy for decades, arguing that while Trump plays by his own rules, democracies must respond by standing firm, united, and committed to the rule of law rather than intimidation.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I DESPISE Trump. So, if you like him, you are in the wrong place. You do not belong on this website. So, please click over. — © Mark Alexander

Trump Steps Up Greenland Annexation Demand and Attacks European Leaders at Davos
THE GUARDIAN: US president tells business and political leaders in Davos his country needs ownership to defend ‘unsecured island’
Donald Trump has stepped up his demand to annex Greenland but said the US would not use force to seize it during a rambling, invective-laden speech at Davos where he again lashed out at Europe’s political leaders.
Trump gave his speech as they sought to avert a full-scale crisis over Greenland – an effort that appeared successful later as the US president suddenly announced he would delay imposing tariffs on eight European countries from 1 February as negotiations continue.
The address to thousands of business and political leaders at the World Economic Form in the Swiss ski resort indicated that while Trump was renouncing the use of military force – for now at least – to wrest control of Greenland, he still intended to wield US economic and diplomatic power to bend European allies to his will.
He said he was “seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States”.
“I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the US is asking for is a place called Greenland,” he said. “You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember.”
The remarks elicited a cool reaction from the foreign minister of Denmark, the Nato country of which Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory. Lars Løkke Rasmussen said it was “positive” that Trump had ruled out an invasion but the US president’s ambitions for the territory were “intact”. » | Heather Stewart in Davos and Andrew Roth Global affairs correspondent | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

Trump Rules Out Force in Greenland But Takes Swipe at NATO Allies
Jan 21, 2026 | After weeks of threats Donald Trump delivered another climbdown. If he wanted to use force to grab Greenland, the President of the United States said, in a speech today at Davos, he'd be "unstoppable". But he wants instead to "acquire it". Though he isn't exactly asking nicely.
Describing Greenland as a "big block of ice" - at times confusing it with Iceland - he warned Denmark, "you can say no, but we will remember." In a long and meandering speech, constant reminders to the NATO allies too - including the UK - that without the US, they were nothing.
The crisis created, not yet fully passed. Trump used his platform at Davos to take a series of swipes at Europe and Canada, complaining that they weren't being grateful enough to the United States.
In a speech lasting more than an hour he decried green energy policies and claimed that the people of Europe were "destroying themselves". But there was some relief at least that Mr Trump ruled out the idea of using "excessive force" to seize Greenland.
Can the fractures splintering through the old world order be fixed?

David Dimbleby: I Started Smoking in My 70s and Don’t Have a Social Life
THE TELEGRAPH: Despite his outwardly confident appearance, former Question Time host says he finds it difficult to talk to people
Despite appearing confident, David Dimbleby says: 'I’m not sociable at all'
David Dimbleby has revealed that he started smoking in his 70s to cope with “tense” sailing trips, as his wife said he is “really, really shy” and “doesn’t have any friends”.
The 83-year-old veteran broadcaster, best known for formerly presenting the BBC’s Question Time for 25 years, made the comments in an interview to discuss his new memoir.
The award-winning journalist has interviewed almost every British prime minister in contemporary history, anchored 10 consecutive general elections from 1979 to 2017, owned nine local newspapers and been a commentator for several major events - ranging from Richard Nixon's 1969 presidential visit to Princess Diana's funeral. However, in an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, he admitted that he does not “have a social life” and that he took up smoking roll-ups just over a decade ago to help him relax when he takes his nephews sailing.
He spoke as his new memoir, Keep Talking: A Broadcasting Life, is published, but admitted he did not have anyone to celebrate with. “We don’t have people round,” he said. “I’m not sociable at all.” » | Gabriella Swerlng, Social and Religious Affairs Editor | Saturday, October 22, 2022

American Democracy on the Brink a Year after Trump’s Election, Experts Say
THE GUARDIAN: Scale and speed of president’s moves have stunned observers of authoritarian regimes – is the US in democratic peril?
Three hundred and sixty-five days after Donald Trump placed his hand on the Bible and completed an extraordinary return to power, many historians, scholars and experts say his presidency has pushed American democracy to the brink – or beyond it.
In the first year of Trump’s second term, the democratically elected US president has moved with startling speed to consolidate authority: dismantling federal agencies, purging the civil service, firing independent watchdogs, sidelining Congress, challenging judicial rulings, deploying federal force in blue cities, stifling dissent, persecuting political enemies, targeting immigrants, scapegoating marginalized groups, ordering the capture of a foreign leader, leveraging the presidency for profit, trampling academic freedom and escalating attacks on the news media.
The scale and velocity of what he has been able to accomplish in just a year have stunned even longtime observers of authoritarian regimes, pushing the debate among academics and Americans from whether the world’s oldest continuous democracy is backsliding to whether it can still faithfully claim that distinction.
“In 2025, the United States ceased to be a full democracy in the way that Canada, Germany or even Argentina are democracies,” Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, the prominent Harvard political scientists and authors of How Democracies Die, and the University of Toronto professor Lucan Way, wrote in Foreign Affairs last month. They argued that the US under Trump had “descended into competitive authoritarianism”, a system in which elections are held but the ruling party abuses power to stifle dissent and tilt the playing field in its favor. » | Lauren Gambino | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

On note la belle progression du prénom Sofia qui passe de la huitième à la quatrième place, ainsi que l’apparition du prénom Iris qui se hisse directement à la cinquième position. Jeanne, à la cinquième place en 2024, disparaît du top 10 cette année. » | Par Helena Ergisi | mercredi 21 janvier 2026
Israels Premierminister Netanjahu nimmt Trumps Einladung zum „Friedensrat“ an
BERLINER ZEITUNG: Die US-Regierung plant einen „Friedensrat“ für den Gazastreifen und zur Lösung weiterer Konflikte. Israels Ministerpräsident Netanjahu will beitreten.
Der israelische Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu hat die Einladung von US-Präsident Donald Trump angenommen, dem „Friedensrat“ beizutreten. Dies teilte sein Büro am Mittwoch mit, wie die Zeitung Times of Israel berichtete.
Der sogenannte Friedensrat (Board of Peace) soll zunächst den Waffenstillstand im Gazastreifen absichern sowie den Wiederaufbau überwachen und eine Übergangsverwaltung in Gaza begleiten. Langfristig will Trump den Rat jedoch als Instrument zur Lösung „globaler Konflikte“ etablieren. » | Anika Schlünz | Mittwoch, 21. Januar 2026

Argentine, Israël, Biélorussie... Quels pays seront membres du «Conseil de la paix» présidé par Donald Trump ?
LE FIGARO : CARTE - Une cinquantaine de pays ont annoncé avoir été invités par le président des États-Unis à siéger dans cette institution prévue par le texte du cessez-le-feu de Gaza mais dont le rôle final s’apparente plutôt à une ONU bis.
Une nouvelle instance internationale entièrement à la main de Donald Trump. C’est ainsi que se présente le «Conseil de la paix», organisation initialement prévue par le texte du cessez-le-feu dans la bande de Gaza en septembre dernier pour superviser la gestion et la reconstruction du territoire palestinien mais qui a vu son rôle s’étendre bien au-delà du dossier proche-oriental. «Le Conseil de la paix est une organisation internationale qui vise à promouvoir la stabilité, à rétablir une gouvernance fiable et légitime et à garantir une paix durable dans les régions touchées ou menacées par des conflits. [Il] exercera ces fonctions de consolidation de la paix conformément au droit international et comme cela peut être approuvé conformément à la présente Charte, y compris l’élaboration et la diffusion de bonnes pratiques pouvant être appliquées par toutes les nations et communautés en quête de paix», est-il possible de lire dans sa Charte. » | Par Victor Mérat | mercredi 21 janvier 2026

"I... Rebuke That" | Greenland Minister Clashes with Republican over Trump's Plans to Own Territory
Andy Ogles is most UNIMPRESSIVE. His arguments are WEAK. America has plenty of scope to protect itself through the existing arrangements, through NATO. NATO was formed for that reason. And if Greenland is so important to Trump, why doesn’t he just increase the US presence there? But no! Trump, as a real estate dude, wants to add Greenland to his property PORTFOLIO. At the expense of the Greenlanders and the Danes, of course. By the way, the sum of $100,000 per Greenlander in a purchase agreement is simply DERISORY. Greenlanders would have to relinquish their right to free healthcare and dental care. Free at the point of delivery. $100,000 wouldn’t take a Greenlander very far in the US healthcare casino. — © Mark Alexander

Enough Appeasement: Britain Needs Its Own ‘Trade Bazooka’ to Take On Donald Trump
THE GUARDIAN — OPINION: It’s time to stand up for ourselves. With targeted action and tariffs, we can help push back the bully in chief
Donald Trump is behaving like an international gangster. His threats to Greenland this week have crossed a line, blackmailing America’s closest allies and threatening the future of Nato itself. From leaking messages with other world leaders to whining about the Nobel peace prize, the US president has gone from unstable to seemingly unhinged. And our government needs to wake up.
For months, Keir Starmer has pursued a strategy of quiet appeasement. He told us that by avoiding confrontation the UK could carve out a special status that would shield our industries from the coming storm. Only a few months ago, Trump hailed the “special relationship” at Windsor Castle after being lavished with a state banquet. Now, thanks to his actions, it is nearly in tatters. Starmer’s Mr Nice Guy diplomacy has failed.
There is no doubt that a trade war that hits jobs and living standards on both sides of the Atlantic is in nobody’s interest. So how do we stop Trump’s damaging actions and protect British businesses and livelihoods? The answer is not, as Starmer seems to suggest, to simply take his threat of tariffs lying down. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has suggested the EU use its “trade bazooka” and draw up punitive trade measures to hit back at Trump unless he drops his threatened tariffs. Britain needs its own trade bazooka: to stand up to the US president along with our European allies and force him to back down.
Bullies like Trump only respond to strength. As we saw with the US’s aborted trade war with China last year, Trump doesn’t listen to diplomatic niceties – but he does take note of warning signs from Wall Street. He will step back from the breach if the consequences of US trade aggression on the world stage are a hit to the economy and tumbling stock markets at home. » | Ed Davey | Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Sir Ed Davey, the man who should be our prime minister, is quite right. Quit the ARSE-LICKING! What Europe needs at this time is leaders with SPUNK. The Criminal-in-Chief MUST NOT be allowed to STEAL Greenland. He only wants Greenland to enrich HIMSELF, HIS FAMILY, and HIS CRONIES, anyway. The man is not to be trusted. Once a criminal, always a criminal! — © Mark Alexander

Donald Trump Is Not Forgetting America’s Old Alliances – His Goal Is to Destroy Them
THE GUARDIAN — OPINION: European leaders who know their continent’s history must now see that the US president is siding with the forces of tyranny
In January 2018, when Donald Trump was in the second year of his first term as US president, Angela Merkel, in her 13th year as German chancellor, gave a gloomy speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. She opened her remarks with a warning from Europe’s past. Politicians had “sleep-walked” into the first world war. As the number of surviving eyewitnesses to the second world war dwindled, she added, subsequent generations would have to prove they understood the fragility of peace. “We need to ask ourselves if we have really learned from history or not.”
Fast forward eight years. Vladimir Putin’s territorial aggression harries Europe’s eastern flank. To the west, Trump, now in his second term and guest of honour at Davos, threatens to annex Greenland. This is not a world that has internalised the lessons of the 20th century.
Merkel’s reputation has not improved since leaving office. She is criticised – often harshly, sometimes fairly – for presiding over stagnation and calling it stability. Hindsight condemns her for failing to prepare Germany’s economy, defence and energy infrastructure for the coming age of turbulence. But she had the measure of Trump from the start.
On the morning after his first election victory in 2016, Merkel’s congratulations contained a chilly caveat. Her statement noted that Germany and the US had built a relationship based on shared respect for democracy, the rule of law, political pluralism, non-discrimination on the basis of race, creed and sexual orientation. Ongoing cooperation was offered “on the basis of these values”. » | Rafael Behr | Wednesday, January 21, 2026

Greenland - Between Denmark and Trump | DW Documentary
Jan 20, 2026 | Greenland should become part of the United States — at least, that’s the opinion of US President Donald Trump. Talk of the US acquiring, or perhaps even seizing, the world's largest island with its vast mineral wealth has been causing concern not only among Greenlanders. Denmark is outraged, as Greenland — a former colony — is still a semi-autonomous territory of the Danish Realm. But for how long?
Many Greenlanders want to take control of their own future. Nukannguaq Zeeb was born on the island and feels deeply connected to the island’s cultural traditions of hunting and fishing. He also coaches Greenland’s national soccer team, a sport introduced by Danish colonialists. He’s critical of Denmark’s ongoing influence. "To be honest, we are currently under Danish rule and not an independent country,” he says. Trump's neocolonial ambitions came as a shock to him.
Greenland did not gain any autonomy until 1953, when it became a Danish district. To this day, it remains closely associated with Denmark, both politically and economically.
Many Greenlanders are pinning their hopes on the rich natural resources still hidden beneath the ice. As global warming accelerates, they could soon become accessible — drawing attention not only from the US administration.
The White Mountain mine lies north of the capital Nuuk and can only be reached by boat or helicopter. International investors are extracting anorthosite, a mineral used to produce insulation material and glass fiber, among other things.
Niels Ole is one of the few Greenlandic foremen in the mine — many skilled workers here come from abroad. Greenland’s weak education system means that many young people drop out before graduating. Social worker Ane Pipaluk looks after them. They live in shared housing and often come from families struggling with unemployment and alcoholism. Negotiating a path between old and new dependencies poses a major challenge for Greenland. Niels Ole dreams of more autonomy for his homeland. He says, "It's the dream of many Greenlanders.

Trump Ratchets Up Tensions With Europe as He Rejects Diplomatic Overtures
THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump’s bellicose demands about Greenland and participation in his “board of peace” are deepening worries about the fate of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
President Trump on Tuesday escalated tensions with the United States’ longest allies, meeting diplomatic overtures with mocking online posts and threats of economic levies and territorial expansion, just hours before he was set to meet with European counterparts in the Swiss Alps.
Mr. Trump warned that he would impose a new round of tariffs against European nations unless they acquiesced to his demands that the United States take over Greenland. He invited President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who European leaders have sought to isolate to counter his invasion of Ukraine, to join his new “board of peace” to reconstruct Gaza. He shared a post on social media that claimed China and Russia were simply “boogeymen” and that the United Nations and NATO were “the real threat.”
The president even posted the private text messages of European leaders trying to strike conciliatory notes, and shared a computer-generated image of himself planting a flag on Greenland. “GREENLAND, US TERRITORY, EST. 2026,” read a wooden placard in the image.
And when asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland, Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House: “You’ll find out.” » | Zolan Kanno-Youngs | Zolan Kanno-Youngs is covering President Trump’s trip to the World Economic Forum. He reported from Zurich. | Tuesday, January 20, 2026

With Threats to Greenland, Trump Sets America on the Road to Conquest
THE NEW YORK TIMES: After a century of defending other countries against foreign aggression, the United States is now positioned as an imperial power trying to seize another nation’s land.
It seems safe to assume that when Harry Truman forged NATO at the dawn of the Cold War, he never imagined that over the course of nearly eight decades the only country that would wage economic war and threaten actual war against the allies for the purpose of territorial conquest would be the United States itself.
And yet that is the reality of this upside-down, might-makes-right world of President Trump’s creation as he slaps tariffs on America’s treaty partners and holds out the possibility of using military force to strong-arm Denmark and its European friends into giving up Greenland, a territory whose citizens do not want to become part of the United States.
Never in the past century has America gone forth to seize other countries’ land and subjugate its citizens against their will. Since the days of World War I, America was the country that resisted conquest, standing up to Hitler’s Germany, Tojo’s Japan, Stalin’s Soviet Union, Kim Il-sung’s North Korea and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq when they seized foreign terrain. Now Mr. Trump aspires to put America into the category of conquerors.
Coercing a loyal ally into giving up territory over its adamant objections would have been seen not long ago as preposterous, even mad — indeed, one of Mr. Trump’s own cabinet secretaries in his first term privately considered it delusional when he raised it back then. But it is a measure of how much Mr. Trump has changed the definition of normal that his appetite for seizing land that does not belong to him is debated as a serious proposition rather than dismissed out of hand as a brazen violation of U.S. treaty obligations and international law. » | Peter Baker | Peter Baker is the chief White House correspondent. He and his wife, Susan Glasser, asked President Trump about Greenland during a 2021 interview for their book on his first term. | Tuesday, January 20, 2026

Valentino : Giancarlo Giammetti, l’homme de sa vie
MADAME FIGARO : Valentino s’est éteint ce lundi à 93 ans. Il était le «Dernier Empereur» de la mode italienne. Mais sa réussite doit aussi beaucoup à un homme qui l’a accompagné toute sa vie : son éminence grise, Giancarlo Giammetti.
Il fut un temps où l’on ne pouvait poser le regard sur Valentino sans apercevoir, quelque part dans le paysage — tout près de lui — son éminence grise, Giancarlo Giammetti. «Les garçons», comme on les appelait dans leur cercle intime, ont en effet traversé ensemble tous les décors de la mode italienne. Et bâti un empire. De leur rencontre à Rome en 1960, à leurs premières étreintes d’amants et jusqu’à la fin de leur liaison, ils se sont aimés d’un amour rare : de celui qui survit à la rupture, à l’infidélité du destin et au renoncement du plaisir charnel. Décédé ce lundi à l’âge de 93 ans, Valentino Garavani laisse ainsi, derrière lui, un lien qui ne s’était jamais rompu. «Ce n’est pas une histoire d’argent ou de mode. C’est une histoire d’amour», disait-il un jour à Vanity Fair . Car même après que le créateur a refait sa vie avec Bruce Hoeksema, Giammetti était resté à ses côtés : comme ami, soutien, gardien de l’œuvre. » | Par Léa Mabilon | mardi 20 janvier 2026

Donald Trump Says ‘No Going Back’ on Greenland Takeover Plan | BBC News
Jan 20, 2026 | US President Donald Trump has said he will tell European leaders "we have to have" Greenland at this week's forum in Davos, Switzerland.
On social media, Trump shared a message apparently from Emmanuel Macron, in which the French president says: "I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.”
He also shared a message he said was from NATO's secretary general and posted generated images of himself placing an American flag on Greenland.
Greenland's prime minister said "we will not let ourselves be pressured", as European allies have rallied to defend the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Meanwhile Trump has also said the UK's plan to hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is an "an act of GREAT STUPIDITY". His administration has previously backed the deal. The UK said it has to hand over the islands because the military base is under threat "after court decisions undermined our position".
