Can Nvidia Survive without Jensen Huang? | The Economist
Nov 12, 2026 | Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, after being embroiled in a sex-and-spying scandal. The AI company built around just one man must now learn to run without him.
The Economist’s editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, is joined by a panel of The Economist’s experts to discuss the fallout. As Nvidia’s stock price tumbles, they discuss what’s next for the chipmaker, the geopolitical implications and what turmoil at the top of AI’s biggest company means for the “AI bubble”.

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang Resigns after Second Affair Allegations | BBC News
Nov 12, 2026 | Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company's board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss.
The resignation was announced in the wake of affair with suspected Chinese spy, which led to the firm's stocks plunging.
The company's shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang's resignation.
On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman who was repeatedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company.

« La perte de Jensen Huang est un véritable coup dur » : la chute du patron de Nvidia provoque un séisme sur la planète IA
LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le départ contraint de son charismatique fondateur est un véritable bouleversement pour l’entreprise, largement structurée autour de lui, et pour tout l’écosystème qui en est devenu très dépendant.
Le sort du patron de la plus stratégique entreprise technologique du moment s’est scellé autour d’une relation extraconjugale, mais pas celle attendue. Jensen Huang a démissionné jeudi, à la suite d’un conseil d’administration de Nvidia, réuni en urgence dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Les événements se sont précipités après la révélation par le New York Times d’une autre liaison qu’a eue Jensen Huang avec une de ses vice-présidentes, Kimberly Powell, chargée de la division santé du groupe, qui travaillait donc sous sa responsabilité directe. Ce « scoop » a précipité la douloureuse décision des 11 membres du conseil d’administration de le faire quitter immédiatement son poste de directeur général. Le fondateur, et seul patron de Nvidia depuis sa création, il y a trente ans, était déjà embourbé depuis plusieurs semaines dans un scandale bien plus grave, lié à sa liaison avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de la plateforme de cloud Megaspeed, soupçonnée d’être une espionne chinoise et au cœur d’un trafic illégal de puces IA de la marque vers Pékin. » | Par Ingrid Vergara | jeudi 12 novembre 2026

Women under the Third Reich I Episode 2 : Final Solution I Pure WW2
Nov 12, 2026 | By 1942, the Holocaust had entered its most systematic and murderous phase. Women were not merely passive witnesses to Nazi persecution. Some served in occupation administrations, worked as camp guards, assisted medical units, or supported SS personnel whose work was directly connected to deportation, exploitation, and mass murder.
After the war, a number of women were prosecuted for their involvement in Nazi crimes, but many others escaped serious investigation or punishment. For decades, their participation remained overshadowed by the image of Nazi violence as an almost exclusively male phenomenon. Drawing on historical research and individual cases, this documentary examines the role of women in the machinery of persecution and genocide, and asks why so many of their stories remained hidden for so long.

TW: This documentary is not at all suitable for people of a sensitive nature. In many parts of the documentary, gruesome and disturbing stories are spoken of and described which might upset many people. It goes without saying that it is definitely not a suitable documentary for minors.

Afghan Women Told to ‘Go Home’ after de facto Ban on Male Doctors Treating Them
THE GUARDIAN: The unofficial Taliban restriction has forced women into desperate and absurd situations as they seek medical help, according to interviews given to the Guardian and Zan Times
Farida*, 37, woke up in excruciating pain one night with a toothache. Over the next few days, the pain intensified. “My teeth had been ruined for years. My molars on both sides of my mouth were severely damaged. I couldn’t sleep at night and could barely eat.”
Farida and her family had returned from Iran earlier this year to live in Herat, a city in western Afghanistan. Like many migrants forced to return, they have struggled to find work and income. In their straitened circumstances, visiting a doctor has become a luxury but the pain forced Farida to a dental clinic in the Bakrabad area of Herat in early July.
Farida already knew her teeth had decayed. The dentist who examined her said that several teeth needed to be taken out and replaced with implants or dentures. The clinic wrote a treatment plan for Farida that required her to make several visits and pay the whole cost of the treatment in advance.
However, during the third session, when the implants were supposed to be fitted, she was told: “We cannot treat you right now. Go home, and we will call you ourselves because a problem has come up.”
Farida went home, but couldn’t eat or drink properly. Two days later, she called the clinic. They said it was no longer possible to complete her treatment. “An order has come from the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice stating that male dentists are no longer allowed to treat female patients. If the situation changes, we will call you.” Three months on, Farida’s treatment remains unfinished. » | Zan Times reporters | Thursday, November 12, 2026

Millions join Spain’s First General Strike in 14 Years in Protest at Housing Crisis
THE GUARDIAN: Twenty-four-hour stoppage draws high participation weeks before election in which far right could gain power
Millions of people across Spain have joined the country’s first general strike in 14 years, setting up picket lines to protest against soaring housing prices before an election in which the far right could be catapulted into power.
At the centre of Wednesday’s nationwide 24-hour stoppage, singularly called for by tenants’ associations and later backed by workers’ unions, is a pushback against Spain’s deepening housing crisis.
Sandra Mora, of the Madrid Tenants’ Union, told the broadcaster RNE: “It’s extremely important to remind people that we, the workers – who are also renters or who also pay mortgages – are the ones with the power to halt production and bring the economy to a standstill.” » | Ashifa Kassam in Madrid and Stephen Burgen in Barcelona | Wednesday, November 11, 2026

MADAME FIGARO : Lors d’une interview donnée par l’ancien président américain au magazine People, publiée le 11 novembre, son épouse s’est confiée sur le rôle qu’elle occupe auprès de lui, face à la maladie.
On ne les avait plus vraiment vus ni entendus depuis leur départ de la Maison Blanche en janvier 2025. Joe Biden et son épouse, le Dr Jill Biden, avaient alors passé les clés du pays à Donald Trump et Melania Trump après une fin de mandat plutôt chaotique, marquée par l’annonce du cancer de la prostate de l’ancien président. Alors que ce dernier s’apprête à publier ses mémoires intitulées Promise me, America, dont la sortie est prévue le 17 novembre, il s’est entretenu avec le magazine People chez lui, à Wilmington, dans le Delaware. Dans cette interview publiée le 11 novembre, le Démocrate de 83 ans fait état de sa maladie et, au passage, son épouse se confie sur l’aide qu’elle lui apporte au quotidien et non sans peine. » | Par Camille Lamblaut | jeudi 12 novembre 3036

Rachel Maddow: Is This the Beginning of the End for Trump and MAGA?
Nov 12, 2026 | Rachel Maddow joins Katie Couric for a wide-ranging conversation about Donald Trump, the future of MAGA, and what the stunning results of the 2026 midterm elections mean for American democracy.
After Democrats' sweeping victories, is Trump's grip on the Republican Party finally weakening? Can the GOP survive without him? And will Democrats hold the Trump administration accountable?
Maddow breaks down the election results, why she believes corruption played a major role in voters' rejection of Trump, and what comes next for Republicans and Democrats. She also weighs in on the possibility of Pete Hegseth's impeachment, Stephen Miller's growing power in the White House, and whether Trump's Justice Department can be rebuilt.
Plus, Maddow discusses her new book, Department of Fate: The Promise, the Power and the Collapse of America's Most Consequential Institution and explains why she believes the future of the Department of Justice is inseparable from the future of American democracy.

Tehran Vows to Strike US Bases in Europe If They Are Used to Attack Iran | BBC News
Nov 11, 2026 | Iran's security chief says Tehran will attack any US military bases, including in Europe, if they are used to launch attacks on Iran.
Mohsen Rezaei also vowed that not even a single particle of enriched nuclear material will be allowed to leave his country, as part of any negotiations to end the war.
The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, is moved out of his Washington DC home to a military base - with US media reporting it's because of Iran-linked threats to his life.
Meanwhile three men have been charged by the US over what they say are a string of Iran-backed terror plots in Europe and America, including the incident at RAF Fairford.

Same-Sex Relations Decriminalized in Trinidad by a Court in Britain
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The ruling, which could affect similar laws in other British Commonwealth countries, has spotlighted a legal system still intertwined with a former colonial power.
A ruling by a British-based court has invalidated laws criminalizing homosexuality in Trinidad and Tobago, setting a precedent for those challenging similar laws in other nations in the Caribbean and possibly beyond.
The ruling was handed down on Tuesday by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London, which serves as the highest court of appeal for dozens of crown dependencies, overseas territories and former British colonies.
Five British judges unanimously upheld a 2018 decision by a lower court in Trinidad that had found two sections of the Caribbean country’s 1986 law targeting private, consensual same-sex relations to be unconstitutional. An appeals court in Trinidad had reversed the lower-court decision in 2025.
Trinidad’s attorney general had argued that the law preserved traditional family values in the country, and had leaned on a legal mechanism called “savings provisions,” which kept many laws from the British colonial era.
The decision delivered a hard-fought victory to advocates for L.G.B.T.Q. rights in Trinidad. Jason Jones, an L.G.B.T.Q. activist who had been a key plaintiff against the law since 2015, called the ruling a “vindication.” He said it would provide hope to young L.G.B.T.Q. people in his country who are living in fear of legal and societal discrimination.
Still, Mr. Jones noted ruefully, to challenge the colonial-era law, his lawyers had to seek intervention from a court based in Britain — decades after Trinidad gained independence, in 1962.
“We are a colonized people,” he said. “Why are we running to white people in London for our justice?”

Guerre en Ukraine : les négociations d’Abu Dhabi mises en échec par l’intransigeance russe
LE FIGARO : Les médiateurs américains vont rencontrer jeudi Vladimir Poutine puis Volodymyr Zelensky. Mais aucune percée diplomatique n’a été annoncée.
Sans surprise, hormis un accord bienvenu sur un échange de prisonniers, les négociations d’Abu Dhabi ont fini dans un nuage de fumée. Il y avait bien sûr des raisons apparentes d’y croire, tant le moment paraissait propice. Trump a toujours été un homme pressé, mais, depuis sa défaite aux élections, le feu aux trousses avant l’arrivée d’un Congrès démocrate en janvier, il veut plus que jamais un résultat diplomatique rapide. Comme ses émissaires, Jared Kushner et Steve Witkoff, investisseurs immobiliers devenus les Tic et Tac de la diplomatie américaine, qui pourraient se retrouver l’an prochain sur la sellette pour conflits d’intérêts.
Après bientôt cinq ans de guerre, les Ukrainiens redoutent l’entrée dans un nouvel hiver, que les frappes russes contre les infrastructures énergétiques rendront encore plus difficile à supporter, en raison des carences en gaz et en électricité. En échec sur le terrain, les Russes ont trouvé en Trump l’idiot utile de leurs ambitions, dont il faut caresser les mains encore libres. Quant aux Européens, même si leur voix ne compte guère en ce moment, ils sont parfois tentés de céder à la lassitude, alors que la crise économique et politique, dans certains pays, brouille leur vue de loin. » | Par Isabelle Lasserre | mercredi 11 novembre 2026

Le procès d’une journaliste égyptienne de renom suscite une vague de protestations
LE FIGARO : Un tribunal du Caire a repoussé à la semaine prochaine l’audience consacrée aux poursuites visant Lina Attalah, directrice du principal média indépendant du pays.
Ce n’est pas une victoire, mais un court sursis : les avocats de Lina Attalah, rédactrice en chef de Mada Masr, le principal média d’information indépendant égyptien, ont obtenu lors d’une audience ce mercredi le report de son procès au 18 novembre, afin que soit examinée leur demande de récusation du président du tribunal. Ce dernier est en effet le même que celui qui avait, le 27 octobre, condamné la journaliste à une amende de 3 millions de livres égyptiennes (près de 50.000 euros) et ordonné la fermeture de Mada Masr dans le cadre d’une autre affaire. Les avocats de Lina Attalah font valoir que le juge « s’est déjà forgé une opinion défavorable à l’égard de l’accusée ».
Lors de cette audience fin octobre, le juge avait imposé à la journaliste un avocat pour remplacer l’équipe de huit avocats ayant préparé sa défense. La jeune femme de 43 ans avait ensuite été menée manu militari hors de la salle d’audience avant même d’avoir pu entendre le verdict. « C’était lunaire, raconte son confrère et ami de longue date Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Lina ne causait aucun problème dans la salle, elle est notoirement petite - elle se définit elle-même comme « petite reporter » - et elle a été escortée par des gros bras comme une dangereuse criminelle ».
Lina Attalah fait l’objet d’un nouveau procès après avoir été condamnée en 2024 par contumace à un an de prison… Sans même en avoir été notifiée. C’est lors de l’audience du 27 octobre dernier qu’elle a appris que, deux ans plus tôt, elle avait été reconnue coupable d’avoir dirigé un site d’information sans avoir obtenu de licence et d’avoir « publié de fausses informations » - une accusation habituelle faite aux journalistes dans le pays. En plus de la peine de réclusion, le juge avait requis la fermeture de Mada Masr. » | Par Margaux Benn | mercredi 11 novembre 2026

Why Democrats Must Hold MAGA Accountable | Steve Schmidt
How Americans can put up with that nasty, greedy, corrupt, self-serving, egregious, repulsive man to lead them is totally beyond my comprehension. The man has brought chaos to America’s politics—and to the world’s—and it is my fear that the worst is yet to come, more especially because Stephen Miller has been made chief of staff. The incompetent Donald Trump is bringing us closer to World War III by the day. Trump should have been incarcerated long ago for his crimes, but it is still not too late to correct past mistakes. Many of Trump’s henchmen should be put on trial as well! And as for that sh** on the walls of the Oval Office, that naff gilt, it needs to be torn down asap.

Cambridge University: The Breakthrough Reversing Heart Attack Damage
Nov 9, 2026 | After a heart attack, up to one billion heart cells can be lost. Unlike most cells in our body, heart cells can’t fix themselves when damaged. This reduces the strength of the heart and can lead to heart failure and ultimately death. Now scientists have developed a treatment that ‘reawakens’ heart muscle cells so they start to divide and help repair damaged muscle following a heart attack.
It has shown promising results in animal trials, and the next step is to refine it and test its safety and effectiveness in humans. This is an exciting step towards a potential curative treatment for heart disease, which could improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world.
This research involved the Department of Pharmacology, Gurdon Institute, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and AstraZeneca.

"American Scoundrel": From Roy Cohn to Stephen Miller, "McCarthyism Lives On," Says Author Kai Bird
Nov 11, 2026 | We speak with historian Kai Bird about American Scoundrel, a new biography of the notorious political fixer Roy Cohn, who rose to fame as chief counsel to Joe McCarthy during the senator's anti-communist campaign, served as a lawyer for the New York mob, and was an influential voice in Republican circles until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986. His most impactful relationship, however, would prove to be with a young Donald Trump, whom he mentored in business and politics during the 1970s and '80s.
Facing political setbacks during his first term as president, Trump reportedly asked, "Where's my Roy Cohn?" Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration's mass deportation policies who Trump just elevated to chief of staff.
"It's not really a surprise that, cornered and wounded by the recent election results, he reaches out and pulls up Stephen Miller, who's very similar in his willingness to go on the offensive and never back down, and to say outrageous things to try to change the narrative," says Bird.

LE FIGARO : Le ministre italien de l’Éducation, Giuseppe Valditara, a annoncé, mercredi, que 300 écoles ont été évacuées suite à des alertes à la bombe. Des menaces ont également visé des établissements en Irlande et au Royaume-Uni.
Au moins 300 établissements scolaires en Italie ont été évacués mercredi après avoir reçu le même message d’alerte à la bombe, a indiqué le ministre de l’Éducation. Selon les médias italiens, la première ministre Giorgia Meloni a convoqué une réunion gouvernementale plus tard dans la journée de mercredi après que 312 écoles ont reçu des menaces. « Ces signalements semblent plutôt relever d’une stratégie visant à susciter l’alarme et l’inquiétude », écrit sur les réseaux sociaux la chef du gouvernement italien.
Cette alerte de sécurité survient dans un contexte de préoccupations croissantes en Europe face aux menaces dites de « guerre hybride », qui ont visé des supermarchés, des centres de collecte de sang, le trafic aérien et des chaînes de télévision. » | Par agence Reuters | mercredi 11 novembre 2026

A Kremlin Trap in Abu Dhabi | Marcin Bużański
Nov 11, 2026 | The second day of U.S.-led peace talks is underway in Abu Dhabi, with Ukraine and Russia returning to the negotiating table after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described Tuesday's discussions as constructive. But what does that actually mean?
"There is a clear signal coming from the Kremlin that Russia is willing, to some degree, to engage on a ceasefire," says Marcin Bużański, Director of the Civitas University Center for Diplomacy and Negotiation, in World Talks. At the same time, he argues that this may be a Kremlin trap, as the discussion currently focuses on freezing the front line rather than ending hostilities altogether.
Bużański also stresses that Europe cannot accept the creation of a new security architecture on Russia's terms. While discussions on future security guarantees may eventually take place, he argues that any settlement must begin with stopping the aggressor and preventing future Russian attacks, rather than rewarding Moscow's demands.
Join Sascha Fahrbach and his guest as they discuss the second day of the Abu Dhabi talks, and why many policymakers still doubt that Moscow is negotiating in good faith.

The Dark Story of Giorgio Armani
Sep 10, 2026 } He was King Giorgio, the most powerful man in the history of Italian fashion. He built an empire worth billions, dressed nearly every star in Hollywood, and ruled his kingdom entirely alone for forty years, answering to no one. In his final interview, he was asked to name his greatest weakness. His answer was chilling. I am in control of everything.
But behind the flawless suits and the untouchable power was one of the loneliest men who ever lived. This is the story of the boy who was set on fire as a child, who clawed his way out of a broken country to conquer the entire fashion world, and who lost the only person he ever truly loved at the very moment his dream came true, a loss so painful he was forced to hide even the truth of it from the world. The empire everyone saw. And the broken heart almost no one did.

‘A Global Political Awakening’: How Gen Z Protests Are Sweeping the World
THE GUARDIAN: From Serbia to Bangladesh and India to France, young people are pushing back against authoritarianism and reshaping political landscapes
In Brazil, they rallied online by the millions, sharing videos and spreading memes. In Serbia, they cycled across Europe and ran ultramarathons to make their voices heard.
Both movements burst into international public view last month as they became central during election campaigns to the pushback against authoritarianism. What they also offered, however, was a window into a wider phenomenon playing out across the globe, as youth-led movements reshape political landscapes.
“Gen Z is rising,” said Erica Chenoweth, a political scientist at Harvard Kennedy School. “It is abundantly clear that a significant proportion of gen Z is tired of sitting on the sidelines while their political systems fail them.”
Researchers have documented at least 25 protests around the world in which this age group – roughly those between the ages of 14 and 29 – has played a role.
From Bangladesh to Belgium and Italy to India, it seems gen Z, who account for about a third of the world’s population, have found their voice. “Gen Z may be experiencing a global political awakening,” Chenoweth wrote in a recent essay. » | Ashifa Kassam and Lex McMenamin | Monday, November 9, 2026

Stephen Miller: Trump's 'Fascist' Chief of Staff
Nov 9, 2026 | James O'Brien discusses Donald Trump's latest pick to be his Chief of Staff with LBC's Washington correspondent Simon Marks.
Trump announced on Friday that he would be replacing Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff after a midterms hammering, promoting Stephen Miller to Wiles’ position.
Simon Marks analyses what this change means for the Trump administration, adding that Miller's critics would go as far as to call him a 'fascist'. Marks calls him the 'malignant tumour' at the heart of the White House and runs through his history of 'brutality'.
I would say that Trump and his chumps are a ‘malignant tumour not only on America, but also on the rest of the world. It is to be noted that I have said as much several times before. — © Mark Alexander
