What's Le Pen planning for the EU Commission and Parliament?
The French far-right Rassemblement National (National Rally) will be the biggest national delegations at the European Parliament, together with the German Christian Democrats (CDU).
A new super group of the right in the European Parliament? Marine Le Pen has been in Brussels celebrating her electoral success with far-right colleagues. With her National Rally now one of the chamber’s largest delegations, we spoke to its head Jean-Paul Garraud to find out how it’s trying to flex its power.
On the other side of the political spectrum, the Party of European Socialists’ secretary general Giacomo Filibeck spoke exclusively to Euronews on party strategy ahead of the new European Parliament mandate.
Many in Brussels may be hooked on politics, but we also talk about the increase in narcotic addiction affecting Europe: consumption and sales of drugs are on the rise across the continent, according to a report by the European monitoring centre for drugs and drugs addiction.

When shots were fired at a campaign rally for former President Donald J. Trump on a July evening in Butler, Pa., the veteran New York Times photographer Doug Mills was just a few feet from him. As the Secret Service rushed toward Mr. Trump, Mr. Mills’s heart pounded when he realized what was happening.
Then instinct took over. Mr. Mills kept taking pictures, at an extremely fast shutter speed of one eight-thousandth of a second, capturing an image that illustrates the magnitude of that moment: Mr. Trump, his face streaked with blood, his fist raised in defiance.
This year was made up of such extraordinary moments. And Times photographers captured them in extraordinary images. The Year in Pictures brings you the most powerful, evocative and history-making of those images — and allows you to see the biggest stories of 2024 through our photographers’ eyes.
The presidential campaign — full of twists and turns — provided some of our most memorable photos. Kenny Holston captured a shaky President Biden struggling to find his footing in what turned out to be his only debate of the 2024 election. Erin Schaff conveyed the exhilaration surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris in the short sprint of her campaign. And Todd Heisler brought home the excitement of an 8-year-old girl in pigtails, Ms. Harris’s great-niece, who watched with pride as Ms. Harris accepted her party’s nomination for president.
Yet even as the American political campaign intensified, wars ground on overseas, creating new dangers and obstacles for our photojournalists determined to document the fighting. The war between Hamas and Israel escalated into a regional conflict, and our photographers depicted the Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, the families forced to flee their homes and the neighborhoods reduced to rubble.
When Israeli forces recovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, our photographers revealed the pain of the captives’ families as they cried out at their loved ones’ funerals after 11 months of anguished waiting. And last month, Samar Abu Elouf, a Palestinian photographer for The Times, delivered some of the most indelible images of the year: a series of portraits of Gazans horribly injured in the war, including children who had lost arms, legs or eyes.
Children were also central to the work of Lynsey Addario, a veteran photographer who has been chronicling the war in Ukraine since Russia first invaded in 2022. Ms. Addario’s images tell the stories of young Ukrainians with cancer whose treatment was disrupted by the war, often with devastating results. One, a 5-year-old girl whose chemotherapy was upended by the Russian invasion, ultimately lost her life.
Our photographers embrace their calling of bearing witness to history, showing readers the atrocities and the suffering that might otherwise be overlooked. But they also see their mission more broadly, and aim to depict the richness and color of life by regularly bringing us pictures that delight and surprise.
Take the photo by Hiroko Masuike from the ticker-tape parade in October for the New York Liberty women’s basketball team. The young fans pictured radiate a kind of awe-struck joy, screaming to the players by name. Or the photographs that show the sense of wonder on the faces of people at Niagara Falls as they bask in the magic of a solar eclipse in April.
We hope you can spend some time with these pictures, and take in our photographers’ reflections on them. This collection of images is a way to remember the year, but it is also, we hope, an opportunity to better understand their craft and their devotion to producing the world’s best photojournalism.

Luhansk, Ukraine, Jan. 21 Russian soldiers killed on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, left behind in a maelstrom of violence where the struggle to stay alive often outweighed concern for the dead.
Tyler Hicks/The New York Times
“This struck me as an image that showed how stark and cold this war can be. This scene is played out on both sides every day. And if you think about all of the battles that are happening at any given moment, you can only imagine the number of incidents like this that are costing the lives of young men.” — Tyler Hicks
Kharkiv, Ukraine, Jan. 20 A group of civilian volunteers called Platsdarm collected bodies from the bloody fields and battered villages of eastern Ukraine. A cross on a chain was found on the body of a Russian soldier.

There were so many little girls there who were so excited and stoked to be in Clark’s presence. They can now aspire to having similarly successful careers.” — Hilary Swift

Manhattan, Jan. 30 Yusef Salaam, a City Council member who was wrongfully convicted in 1990 as part of the Central Park Five, explaining his vote to override the mayor’s veto of two criminal justice bills. The Council passed both laws.
Dave Sanders for The New York Times
“Salaam said that he wondered how his life might have been different if these laws had existed in 1989. I had positioned myself in front of him, thinking it might be more personal for him than other members. He became choked up while speaking, and Avilés, a co-sponsor of the legislation, came over to embrace him. It was a powerful moment.” — Dave Sanders
Central Gaza Strip, Jan. 8 A destroyed Palestinian house, emblematic of the sheer destruction wrought by Israel’s war in the territory and the devastation of Hamas’s operations.
Avishag Shaar-Yashuv for The New York Times
“I tried hard to show the life there, but we couldn’t see any people. So I tried to feel the life there in the houses. I wanted to show the view that was there before the war. This was a way to see the view from this house — even if it wasn’t through the windows but through a broken wall.” — Avishag Shaar-Yashuv
Rafah, Gaza Strip, Jan. 9 Palestinians lining up for free food. Officials said that inspections, bottlenecks and safety concerns were limiting the flow of aid in the territory, contributing to a growing humanitarian crisis.

They brought him to the surgery room in the back to amputate his leg and arm, his hip and part of his genitals.” — Nanna Heitmann

Trostyanets, Ukraine, Feb. 19 After nearly two years, the family of Serhiy Hrebinyk, a Ukrainian marine captured by the Russians in Mariupol, still hoped he would come home. His sister Kateryna wore a dog tag featuring his image.
David Guttenfelder for The New York Times
“I went with Serhiy’s sister and mom to the church to light candles for him, and I noticed the tag around her neck. There was something touching about the relationship between the brother and sister, with the siblings so close in age. I photographed it up close so we could see his face.” — David Guttenfelder
Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, Feb. 2 President Biden honoring three Army reservists who were killed in an attack on a base in Jordan. Their bodies were returned to the United States in a ceremony known as a dignified transfer.
Kenny Holston/The New York Times
“I was a combat photographer for the Air Force, and this is something I had covered while I was still in the military. I tried to give depth to a serious, sad and solemn situation. The principals standing at the back of the plane with their heads down — that was a picture that I knew would drive the point home.” — Kenny Holston
Rafah, Gaza, Feb. 28 Children in a burned-out car. A United Nations official said that at least a quarter of Gaza’s residents were “one step away from famine,” and that one in six children under 2 in northern Gaza were acutely malnourished.

Alyssa Pointer for The New York Times
“This was a reverent moment. The family is about to participate in a funeral they have been waiting years for. It was a somber experience and good to know the man was getting the respect he needed. I wanted to get as close as I possibly could to show the contrast between the hands and the flag.” — Alyssa Pointer

Kenny Holston/The New York Times
“We were in the middle of the Arctic on a giant floating piece of ice, and out of nowhere a submarine surfaced through the ice. It felt as if I was on a different planet. Trying to work in such harsh conditions was so challenging. I had to use hand warmers to warm up the cameras.” — Kenny Holston

Omar Al-Qatta/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images
“I went to the site and found thousands of citizens gathered near the destroyed buildings, waiting for the arrival of the planes. I carefully chose a shooting angle that showed the destruction, the aid and the people together in a single frame. The joy on people’s faces was evident as they received the aid and walked away, relieved and happy.” — Omar Al-Qatta
Los Angeles, April 26 Pro-Palestinian demonstrators camping out at the University of California, Los Angeles. After several days, the university declared the encampment illegal and threatened consequences if the protesters did not leave — but demonstrations continued.
Mark Abramson for The New York Times
“These students were sitting and waiting for their professor, who was leading the class to take a midterm math exam. I had this vantage point to see the encampment from above. Rather than just the scale of the encampment itself you get — literally — a window into these two worlds colliding. It was a different way of seeing the situation.” — Mark Abramson
Eagle Pass, Texas, April 8 The first total solar eclipse in seven years plunged the day into darkness across a swath of North America, reminding all in its path of Earth’s place in the cosmos.

Ivor Prickett for The New York Times
“This scene was in one of those areas that had been fiercely fought over through the previous year and had been liberated by government forces. We were touring around these heavily destroyed areas, trying to piece together what had happened. I’ve seen worse, but there’s something about seeing a skull — it’s never not going to be disturbing.” — Ivor Prickett
Hualien, Taiwan, April 3 A magnitude-7.4 earthquake, the strongest to hit Taiwan in 25 years, killed 17 and injured over 1,000 others. It caused the most damage in Hualien, where several buildings tilted as their ground-floor levels were crushed.

Manhattan, April 25 This year, Eddie Redmayne took on the role of the Emcee, an indecorous impresario of a bawdy Berlin nightclub, in “Cabaret.” The performance earned him a Tony Award nomination for best leading actor in a musical.
Dana Scruggs for The New York Times
“Sometimes celebrities will come to get their portrait taken and it’s kind of like picture day, and they’re not engaged in the process. But even though I had a very short period of time, Eddie was fully engaged in making these images with me. I love this; it feels like Eddie is connecting with the person looking at the photograph.” — Dana Scruggs

East Taiga, Mongolia, May 30 Shurentsetseg Ganbold, a health worker, treats semi-nomadic reindeer herders who follow their herd wherever it roams. She travels for hours to meet them where they are, and when no horses are available she rides a reindeer.
Chang W. Lee/The New York Times
“The nomads, they are scattered around, and when she visits them she rides a reindeer there, usually just for fun. But there was one nomad who lived in a hut farther away from the others. The doctor really wanted to visit her and didn’t want to wait until the next day. It was getting dark, so riding the reindeer helped.” — Chang W. Lee
Manhattan, May 29 Donald J. Trump leaving court during his criminal trial. The next day, he was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal, making him the first former U.S. president to be a felon.
Doug Mills/The New York Times
“It was not a pleasant time for him. Every day, every time he left the courtroom, there was a show of defiance when he would talk about the judge or the trial or the witch hunt he thought it was. It was either a vocal show of defiance or a hand gesture of defiance.” — Doug Mills
Kharkiv region, Ukraine, May 14 A bus filled with evacuees from Vovchansk and nearby small villages that were in the path of Russia’s surge across the border. They were among the thousands of people heading to Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
Emile Ducke for The New York Times
“Something that struck me was that many of the evacuees had already seen their homes occupied and had lived through an occupation in the first months of the war. Now they were fleeing yet another Russian assault.” — Emile Ducke
Kharkiv, Ukraine, May 17 Smoke rising from the site of a strike on industrial buildings as Russian troops advanced on the city. Ukrainian officials and military analysts described the push as an attempt to stretch Ukraine’s already outnumbered forces.

“Jeri’s husband had sustained serious lung damage. The basement walls had collapsed, and he had been holding the walls up from crushing them. They were $940 away from paying off their house, and now they have to start over from scratch. They’re stuck in limbo. It was just really traumatic for them.” — Rachel Mummey
Atlanta, May 19 A Morehouse professor turned away as President Biden delivered the commencement address at the historically Black men’s college. Some students also turned their backs or wore keffiyehs or Palestinian flags in protest of his presence at the ceremony.
Michael A. McCoy for The New York Times
“I kept hearing about students at Morehouse not wanting Biden to come speak. They felt he had other things he could have been doing, like worrying about the war in Israel and Gaza. This was a professor at Morehouse. She stood there and held that position for minutes. It was a quiet moment.” — Michael McCoy

Nairobi, Kenya, June 25 Outrage over proposed tax increases drove Kenyans to the streets across the country, leading to violent clashes with the police who used water cannons to disperse the protesters.
Brian Otieno for The New York Times
“It was a showdown between the police and the young people. The police were pressing the youths, firing water cannons at them, and tear gas, and the youths were steadfast. They were not going anywhere. It was crazy. It was chaotic. And the protests were effective: The finance bill that brought on the protests was withdrawn.” — Brian Otieno
Atlanta, June 27 In a testy, personal clash at the first presidential debate, President Biden failed to ease worries about his age as former President Donald J. Trump forcefully made his case with limited resistance.
Kenny Holston/The New York Times
“I could see right out of the gate a lot of Trump dominance. It seemed like Biden was trying to catch up and couldn’t get his footing. I was trying to make pictures that captured that. The expressions on each of their faces — Trump forging forward and Biden losing his footing — that was the vibe in the debate hall.” — Kenny Holston
Raleigh, N.C., June 28 At a rally the day after his shaky debate performance, President Biden tried to beat back doubts about his fitness for office, firing up a crowd of supporters with an energetic speech.
Damon Winter/The New York Times
“There had been so much talk already about President Biden’s age and fitness to run for a second term, but the debate intensified the calls for him to step aside. In the front row, this woman exemplified the sense of panic that gripped the party with only a few months to go before the election.” — Damon Winter

Tyler Hicks/The New York Times
“Coverage of the war in Ukraine is not only in the trenches, but also at artillery positions such as this one. These positions in the past have been considered a safe way to cover the war. Now, because of armed drones, they have become as dangerous as infantry positions. There is no such thing as a safe haven for anybody.” — Tyler Hicks

Erin Schaff/The New York Times
“When I started traveling with her about a month before she became the candidate, things were a lot slower. Then the energy ramped up incredibly quickly after she was tapped to run for president. It was a huge shift — and it became this whirlwind short campaign to define her and who she is to the American public.” — Erin Schaff

Lynsey Addario for The New York Times
“There are so many elements of this photograph that break my heart — Sonya’s withering body as she nears the end of her life, the visible tumors emerging from her neck, the fentanyl patch on her arm, the look on Sonya’s face, her mother’s face, and the bags of apples and snacks she insisted on having nearby but she no longer ate.” — Lynsey Addario
Guanare, Venezuela, July 17 Barred from running for president herself, María Corina Machado, the leader of Venezuela’s opposition, helped galvanize support behind the candidate challenging President Nicolás Maduro in elections.
Adriana Loureiro Fernandez for The New York Times
“This was a rural area, and everyone from nearby came by to see her. I had not seen turnout like this. That town especially was really emotional; you saw a lot of people crying. You could kind of feel the desperation. In that specific moment it was chaotic. We photographers had to climb on nearby cars to take photos.” — Adriana Loureiro Fernandez
Butler, Pa., July 13 A bullet streaked past former President Donald J. Trump’s head during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally.
Doug Mills/The New York Times
“I started sending those photos to my editor. She looked through them and said: ‘You won’t believe this. I think you actually captured the bullet flying behind his head.’ I got chills. I’ve talked to Trump about it a number of times. He said it’s a picture he’s looked at quite often since then. It was an incredibly surreal moment.” — Doug Mills
Butler, Pa., July 13 With a bloodied face and ear, Donald J. Trump pumped his fist in a defiant gesture to the crowd as he was escorted offstage by Secret Service agents after the attempt on his life.
Doug Mills/The New York Times
“I heard the loud pops. I saw him grab his ear and go down, but I didn’t know how serious it was. All of a sudden he started to stand up. I was shocked, and happy to see he was alive. And then he put his fist up and pumped it — ‘Fight, fight, fight.’ That was his act of defiance.” — Doug Mills
Milwaukee, July 16 Donald J. Trump, a large bandage covering his right ear, was greeted with cheers and thunderous applause at the Republican National Convention, just days after the assassination attempt.

“He was raising up his fist in what was like a coronation for him. It happened every single night. It felt like he was the king in a castle looking over his subjects. He showed up for four nights in a row, and every time people were cheering and chanting ‘U.S.A.’ and chanting his name.” — Haiyun Jiang

“I knew, like other surf photographers, that Gabriel loves Teahupo’o and usually celebrates at the end of big wave rides. And that’s what he did. The tricky part of the shot was that when he was about to jump out of the wave, I was totally blind because the wave passed behind the boat at this moment.” — Jerome Brouillet

Brooklyn, Aug. 16 The actress Margaret Qualley, who this year starred in “The Substance,” a body-horror bloodbath about fame and self-hatred. “I think everyone involved had to enter the eye of the storm,” Qualley said of making the film.
Thea Traff for The New York Times
“We wanted to convey the drama and intensity of the movie, and we also knew that Margaret used to dance. I asked her to move in a way that was reminiscent of the dance she used to do. It was very subtle movement. There was this moment where the light perfectly framed her eyes that felt so moody and perfect.” — Thea Traff

“These are scripted events, but there are moments of authenticity to be found within that. I try not to overthink these situations and overdo it with symbolism. My editor asked me to look for any reaction from the family, but I had fairly low expectations since I was behind them and wouldn’t see their faces. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this connection.” — Todd Heisler

France’s highest court has upheld an appeal court decision which had found former President Nicolas Sarkozy guilty of corruption and influence peddling while he was the country’s head of state.
Sarkozy, 69, faces a year in prison, but is expected to ask to be detained at home with an electronic bracelet — as is the case for any sentence of two years or less.
He was found guilty of corruption and influence peddling by both a Paris court in 2021 and an appeals court in 2023 for trying to bribe a magistrate in exchange for information about a legal case in which he was implicated.
“The convictions and sentences are therefore final,” a Court of Cassation statement on Wednesday said.
FRANCE’S MACRON NAMES CENTRIST ALLY BAYROU AS NEXT PRIME MINISTER
Sarkozy, who was France’s president from 2007 to 2012, retired from public life in 2017 though still plays an influential role in French conservative politics. He was among the guests who attended the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral earlier this month.
Sarkozy, in a statement posted on X, said “I will assume my responsibilities and face all the consequences.”
He added: “I have no intention of complaining. But I am not prepared to accept the profound injustice done to me.”
Sarkozy said he will seek to bring the case to the European Court of Human Rights, and hopes those proceedings will result in “France being condemned.”
He reiterated his “full innocence.”
“My determination is total in this case as in all others,” he concluded.

Sarkozy’s lawyer, Patrice Spinosi, said his client “will comply” with the ruling. This means the former president will have to wear an electronic bracelet, Spinosi said.
It is the first time in France’s modern history that a former president has been convicted and sentenced to a prison term for actions during his term.
Sarkozy’s predecessor, Jacques Chirac, was found guilty in 2011 of misuse of public money during his time as Paris mayor and was given a two-year suspended prison sentence.
Sarkozy has been involved in several other legal cases. He has denied any wrongdoing.
He faces another trial next month in Paris over accusations he took millions of dollars from then-Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi to illegally finance his successful 2007 campaign.
The corruption case that led to Wednesday’s ruling focused on phone conversations that took place in February 2014.
At the time, investigative judges had launched an inquiry into the financing of Sarkozy’s 2007 presidential campaign. During the inquiry, they discovered that Sarkozy and his lawyer, Thierry Herzog, were communicating via secret mobile phones registered to the alias “Paul Bismuth.”
Wiretapped conversations on those phones led prosecutors to suspect Sarkozy and Herzog of promising magistrate Gilbert Azibert a job in Monaco in exchange for leaking information about another legal case involving Sarkozy. Azibert never got the post and legal proceedings against Sarkozy have been dropped in the case he was seeking information about.
Prosecutors had concluded, however, that the proposal still constitutes corruption under French law, even if the promise wasn’t fulfilled. Sarkozy vigorously denied any malicious intention in his offer to help Azibert.
Azibert and Herzog have also been found guilty in the case.
A proposal on combatting child sexual abuse has been watered down by some EU justice ministers, with others expressing their regret at certain elements of the proposal being removed entirely.
With the development of new technologies, sexual abuse of children has seen a rise in Europe.
The EU is therefore looking to update its directive on combatting the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children, which dates back to 2011.
However, the EU Commission’s initial proposal has been watered down by the justice ministers of several EU countries. Seven Member States, which include Belgium, Finland and Ireland, expressed their regret at the removal of certain parts of the proposal.
“We deeply regret that the majority of Member States were unable to support a more ambitious approach aimed at ensuring that children who have reached the age of sexual consent receive the strongest and most comprehensive legal protection possible against unwanted sexual acts,” they wrote in a press release.
Key issues remained unaddressed
Isaline Wittorski, EU regional coordinator at child rights organisation ECPAT International, is particularly concerned regarding Member States’ opposition to the extension of the limitation period for pursuing child sexual abuse cases.
She also regrets that “grooming” – the process by which an adult intentionally approaches minors and manipulates them for sexual purposes – for children who have reached the age of sexual consent was not addressed by the Council.
“The Member States expressly refused to recognise in the text that a child in a state of shock or intoxication cannot be considered to have consented to sexual abuse”, she adds.
Harmonisation of penalties
The Commission’s proposal aims to harmonise the definition of sexual violence against minors and penalties within the EU.
It will also update criminal law in order to criminalise the rape of children broadcast live on the internet, as well as the possession and exchange of paedophile manuals and child abuse deepfakes.
MEPs, for their part, should support a more ambitious directive. Birgit Sippel, a German MEP (S&D), is calling for longer limitation periods.
“Many children who have been abused take years or even decades before they dare to go to court or to a police station. So this is a very important step that is missing from the current directive,” the MEP told Euronews.
“Unfortunately, what I see is that the Council is watering down almost everything that could improve the current directive. It will therefore be very important for the EU Parliament to maintain a very strong position and force the Council to go further and not limit itself to the current directive,” she added.
The proposal’s text can still be amended. After a vote by MEPs, negotiations will take place between the EU Commission, the European Council and the European Parliament.
It is estimated that one in five children in Europe is a victim of some form of sexual violence.
In 2022 alone, there were 1.5 million reports of child sexual abuse in the EU.
ADVERTISEMENTMinisters also failed to reach agreement on another regulatory text aimed at combatting the sexual abuse of children online, which aims to force platforms to detect and remove content depicting sexual violence against minors. This proposal caused a clash between children’s rights defenders and privacy protection lobbies.
