More than 7,000 under-fives in Gaza put in malnutrition recovery in two-week period
Unicef says it expects total for August to exceed 15,000 new patients, more than seven times February figure

More than 7,000 children under the age of five were put on recovery programmes for acute malnutrition at clinics run by Unicef in Gaza in just two weeks of last month, figures reveal.

Could France's economic turmoil spark eurozone debt crisis?
As France's minority government hovers on the brink of collapse over its austerity plans, fears are mounting that the debt of the EU's second-largest economy is spinning out of control.
Few doubt that Prime Minister Francois Bayrou will lose the confidence vote in the French parliament scheduled for Monday (September 8), as the current French government lacks the majority needed to push through his budget-cutting plans aimed at reining in France's public debt.

Secret audios, dramatic leaks, spying claims: A bribery scandal engulfs Argentina’s Milei
Argentines are so used to the corruption in their political system that even Peronists — supporters of the populist movement that dominated Argentina’s politics for decades — employ a fatalistic maxim to describe their politicians: “Roban, pero hacen,” or, “They steal, but they get it done.”
But for the past two weeks, Argentines have been riveted by a ballooning graft scandal drawing in close associates of libertarian President Javier Milei, the wild-haired economist who won Argentina’s 2023 election in part by campaigning as an outsider against the corrupt, Peronist-dominated elite — “the caste,” he calls it — whose unbridled spending helped precipitate Argentina’s economic crisis
