France is calling on the European Union to pressure Israel to agree to a two-state solution with the Palestinians.

TF1 Group unveiled stable financial results for the first half of 2025 with $1.2 billion in consolidated revenue and an 18% drop in net profit.

The U.K. is the latest country to say it will recognize a Palestinian state — unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire. This comes as international pressure grows for Israel to address concerns of famine in Gaza.

Last year’s Tour concluded outside Paris for the first time since 1905 because of a scheduling conflict with the Olympics, with the final stage held in Nice. The Champs-Élysées returned this year for the conclusion of the 3,320-kilometer (2,060-mile) race.

French cyclist Kevin Vauquelin said on Tuesday he had suffered a leg injury carrying a suitcase downstairs at home just days after finishing seventh overall in the Tour de France.

The cyclist who equalled the best ever Tour de France finish by a Scot at the weekend has been hailed as a hero in his hometown. Oscar Onley - who grew up in Kelso in the Borders - finished fourth overall in the gruelling three-week race.
