      Why the party might be over for ‘world’s coolest prime minister’

      Sanna Marin, Finland’s party-loving leader who was once called “the world’s coolest prime minister,” is feted around the world as a rock star politician. Hailed as a role model for young Leftist leaders, the 37-year-old Prime Minister’s international fame grew after videos of her enthusiastically drinking and dancing with friends at a party were leaked, prompting her to take a drugs test to prove she was clean. But the youngest Prime Minister in Finland’s history is falling out of favour in the face of a recession, soaring interest rates and criticism of her bloated public spending plans, and is now facing defeat in elections as voters head to the polls on Sunday.  The latest polls have Ms Marin’s Social Democrats slipping into third place,…

      Ursula von der Leyen in the running to be chief of NATO after EU top role

      President of the EU CommissionUrsula von der Leyen is in the running to be the next head of NATO. Although her term as president doesn’t end until 2024, there are reports some member states have suggested she could take over as early as October. Despite reports the former German Defence Minister could take the reins of NATO, some say her appointment could outrage Eurosceptics, reports the Sun. Current Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is due to step down later this year after his tenure was extended following the start of the war in Ukraine. There is no formal election for a new leader of NATO; instead, a new leader is elected by consensus. Traditionally, although the USA doesn’t put up a candidate, they do have a big say in who takes the…

Judicial authorities in a town near the northeastern city of Mashhad issued arrest warrants for the man seen pouring yoghurt over the heads of the two women, a mother and her daughter.
