Her relationship with her mother came to a tipping point when Bettencourt Meyers initiated a decade-long family feud over her inheritance. A photographer named François-Marie Banier was the subject of a disagreement between Bettencourt Meyers and her mother. In a 2008 letter to Banier, Bettencourt described their relationship to him, writing: "With you, I am like a mother, a lover, all the feelings pass through me. Bettencourt Meyers told a French news magazine in 2009 that Mr. Banier's "objective is clear: break away my mother from our family to profit from her. He was sentenced to two and half years in prison and told to pay Bettencourt 158 million euros in damages.

That passion was the same for a papal visit or covering an earthquake," said Reuters Europe Video Editor Eleanor Biles. While reporting in some of the world's most dangerous places, Abdallah had a reputation among his peers as careful and cautious in difficult environments. Lebanon's army has said Israel fired the missile that killed Abdallah, and another Reuters reporter at the scene said he was killed by projectiles fired from the direction of Israel. Abdallah first began providing Reuters with footage some 16 years ago, working as a freelancer while completing his university studies. Abdallah carried a video camera and a camera for still photographs wherever he went, zipping around Beirut on his motorcycle.

CNN —Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has lost his appeal against a 2021 conviction for corruption and influence-peddling at the Paris court of appeals. The court on Wednesday upheld his initial sentence of three years of prison, with Sarkozy being required to wear an electronic bracelet under house arrest for one year, and two years suspended. “Nicolas Sarkozy is innocent,” his lawyer Jacqueline Laffont ttold CNN affiliate BFMTV on her way out of court. Sarkozy, who served as president between 2012 and 2017, has been convicted twice in separate cases since leaving office, both of which he has appealed. He also faces a number of other investigations including one into allegations of illegal campaign funding from Libya.

REUTERS/Altaf HussainNEW DELHI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Indian tax officials examined mobile phones and laptops used by some BBC editorial and administrative employees, two sources told Reuters, as an inspection at the British broadcaster's offices in New Delhi and Mumbai entered a third day on Thursday. Tax officials had remained at the BBC's offices, some sleeping there, since the surprise inspection was launched on Tuesday, according to witnesses. A second source gave a similar account. The BBC has stood by its reporting, which investigated one of the worst outbreaks of religious violence in India during the modern era.
[1/5] Police officers stand outside a building having BBC offices, where income tax officials are conducting a search, in New Delhi, India, February 14, 2023. The government last month dismissed the documentary, "India: The Modi Question", as propaganda and blocked its streaming and sharing on social media. The BBC has stood by its reporting for the documentary and said it was cooperating with Indian tax officials. The tax survey relates to transfer pricing rules and alleged diversion of profits. India's Income Tax Department has so far declined to comment on the reason for the search.
French workers would have to work longer before receiving a pension under the new rules — with the nominal retirement age rising from 62 to 64. Many French workers expressed mixed feeling about the government’s plan and pointed to the complexity of the pension system. For those who do not fulfil that condition, like many women who interrupted their career to raise their children or those who studied for a long time and started working late, the retirement age would remain unchanged at 67. Those who started to work early, under the age of 20, and workers with major health issues would be allowed early retirement. Protracted strikes met Macron’s last effort to raise the retirement age in 2019.
Denunţând un ''scandal care va rămâne în istorie'', fostul şef de stat, în vârstă de 65 de ani, promite că va fi ''combativ'' în faţa instanţei în acest proces fără precedent.Înaintea lui, un alt fost preşedinte francez, Jacques Chirac, a fost judecat - şi condamnat în anul 2011 la doi ani de închisoare cu suspendare - pentru angajări fictive la primăria Parisului făcute pe vremea când fusese edilul capitalei franceze. Însă acum este pentru prima dată când un fost preşedinte al Franţei este judecat pentru corupţie.Retras din politică după ce a pierdut cursa internă a dreptei franceze pentru alegerile prezidenţiale din 2017, Sarkozy riscă zece ani de închisoare şi o amendă de un milion de euro pentru corupţie şi trafic de influenţă, la fel şi ceilalţi doi inculpaţi, judecaţi în plus şi pentru încălcarea secretului profesional.Dosarul ''interceptărilor'' îşi are originea într-un alt dosar judiciar care-l ameninţă pe Sarkozy, acela legat de suspiciunile privind finanţarea campaniei sale prezidenţiale din anul 2007 cu bani primiţi de la fostul dictator libian Muammar Gaddafi.În luna martie 2012, site-ul de investigaţii Mediapart a publicat un document din care reiese că, în anul 2007, Franţa a vândut Libiei echipamente de control pe internet, contract ce ar fi fost folosit pentru finanţarea respectivei campanii electorale printr-un comision de 50 de milioane de euro. În timpul procedurii legate de această sesizare Sarkozy ar fi încercat în 2014 să obţină respectivele informaţii secrete de la Gilbert Azibert, la acea vreme judecător la Curtea de Casaţie.Validarea interceptărilor, în martie 2016, de către cea mai înaltă instanţă a Franţei a fost o înfrângere majoră pentru fostul preşedinte, care a susţinut că transcrierea discuţiilor între un avocat şi clientul său este ilegală.O altă anchetă contestată a PNF revine acum în atenţie. Clasată în anul 2019, aceasta urmărea să identifice ''cârtiţa'' care i-ar fi avertizat pe Nicolas Sarkozy şi pe Thierry Herzog că linia lor secretă 'Bismuth' era interceptată.În cadrul acestei anchete magistraţii au analizat facturile telefonice detaliate ale unor avocaţi celebri, unii dintre aceştia fiind apărătorii ai inculpaţilor la procesul care începe luni. Printre ei se numără şi actualul ministru francez al justiţiei, Eric Dupond-Moretti, care la jumătatea lui septembrie a deschis o anchetă administrativă împotriva a trei magistraţi ai PNF.Pe Nicolas Sarkozy îl mai aşteaptă un proces în primăvară, şi anume dosarul ''Bygmalion'' legat de finanţarea campaniei sale prezidenţiale din 2012.Fostul preşedinte consideră că acţiunile judiciare împotriva lui sunt motivate politic, punând inculparea sa pentru corupţie pe seama 'instrumentalizării politice a unei părţi a justiţiei'.
