The trial of 51 men for the rape of Gisèle Pelicot began in earnest on Thursday as the first defendants took the stand. Their testimony included expressions of regret along with more ambiguous statements regarding their awareness of their victim’s vulnerable state. The recurring question was how the accused could not have been aware of a sleeping woman's lack of consent. http://dlvr.it/TDT3sW
French President Emmanuel Macron is continuing his search for a new prime minister, almost two months after inconclusive snap elections. He’s meeting with two of his predecessors, François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, as well as two other senior French politicians who are both tipped as candidates to be the next premier. The latter are Bernard Cazeneuve (pictured), a former member of the Socialist Party, and Xavier Bertrand, a member of the conservative Les Républicains party and president of the northern Hauts-de-France region. For the first in a new series of Perspective we spoke to Renaud Foucart, a senior lecturer in economics at Lancaster University Management School.
