Following his victory in the primaries, the leader of Place Publique is throwing his weight behind the battle to win over voters tempted by a tactical vote in favour of Mélenchon.

Max Pezzali and Mauro Repetto are back in pursuit of the American dream, whilst the British track ‘Youth’ reflects on the passing of time and ‘Vigil’ takes the intrigue all the way to the Arctic. Meanwhile, Sylvester Stallone has no intention of giving up on Tulsa

The Pew Research Centre reports a slump in the president’s approval ratings amongst voters who, just two years ago, favoured him over Kamala Harris. The only religious group that still supports him is that of white evangelical men
