Many young voters in Paris still believe in the European idea, despite the rise of nationalistic, populist movements. That is one of the major thing that makes Marine le Pen’s program impossible,” he added. “It is the young generation that makes France what it is,” she said. In that sense, France has changed, we lost a bit of our revolutionary way,” he said. A French president’s power rests on the ability to get laws through parliament and much will hang on June’s parliamentary elections.

At least a few economists are outlining scenarios in which Mexico could emerge as an unlikely winner in the brewing debate. “Given its young population, Mexico has a bright economic future, particularly if it is able to address its problem with crime and corruption.” “On the relationship with the U.S. there appears to have been a rethinking of trade issues within the Trump administration,” Citi said. “We now think that NAFTA will be ‘rebalanced’ but also ‘upgraded'” in ways that may prove benefi

If students got paid for getting an “A”, would that be enough incentive to push them from high school achievement to college success? That’s the idea behind Raise.me, a for-profit startup, lets high school students earn small tuition grants from colleges to help pay for their higher education. 700,000 students from all 50 states are using the platform and Raise.me says they’ve awarded $1 billion in financial aid since 2013. To access the money, students must apply, be accepted, and enroll in one

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Sunday firmly defended health care legislation passed in the House this week against charges that people who have pre-existing conditions could see their insurance premiums rise under some circumstances. Asked about the numerous health groups and organizations opposed to the bill during an interview on NBC”s “Meet The Press,” Price responded, “What I believe they are not recognizing is this is a different and we believe better way” to cover indivi

French voters are set to discover who will be the 25th president of their country when exit polls are released at 8.00 p.m. local time on Sunday.

[The stream is slated to start at 13:30 p.m. Please refresh the page if you do not see a player above at that time.] The French political establishment has been overturned in this year’s presidential election with two non-mainstream candidates in the runoff for the keys to the Elysee Palace. Centrist independent hopeful Emmanuel Macron has polled roughly 20 percentage points ahead of his rival, the National Front’s Marine Le Pen, since the results of the first round of voting were announced. But

The boom in health care did not begin with the Affordable Care Act. Health care now accounts for nearly a fifth of overall consumer spending. Health care workers, too, have been watching the developments in Washington warily. “What’s been missing is what makes health care so expensive in this country,” he said. This month, Advocate Health Care, one of the Chicago area’s largest employers, announced plans to cut expenses by $200 million.

Entrepreneurs who appear in front of the investors on hit reality television show “Shark Tank” have to be prepared. They are expected to have an entertaining story, a solid business model and some amount of traction to show the Sharks that there is real demand for their product. That’s why it’s especially surprising that Tyler Peoples from Colorado Springs, Colorado, landed a deal on the “Shark Tank” episode that aired Friday. When he pitched the sharks, he had only sold 200 of his scooping bowl

Above: The Berkshire Hathaway-owned Nebraska Furniture Mart display at the 2017 annual shareholders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. Tens of thousands from around the world gather once a year in Omaha, Nebraska, for the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting to hear chairman Warren Buffett speak and to celebrate his business success. Once in town, attendees can explore exhibits featuring Berkshire holdings — 63 are listed on its website, including Clayton Homes and Kraft Heinz. Here’s what the

And the fact that Mr. Obama warmed up for that Wall Street speech by making a separate $400,000 appearance for a cable TV network event late last month didn’t make it any easier for liberals to swallow this new reality. Here’s the thing: Mr. Obama is doing the Democrats — and the left in general — a huge favor. Yet by so blatantly bucking the progressive trend within his own party, President Obama is helping them see a way forward, as opposed to clinging to their losing past. Rest assured, Barac

Always Dreaming splashed through the slop to win the Kentucky Derby by 2 3/4 lengths on Saturday, giving trainer Todd Pletcher and jockey John Velazquez their second victories in the race but their first together. Sent off at 9-2 odds, Always Dreaming made it the fifth straight year that a Derby favorite has won, the longest such stretch since the 1970s.

“We have got a big appetite for wind or solar,” Buffett said Saturday at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders meeting. “If someone walks in with a solar project tomorrow and it takes a billion dollars or three billion dollars, we’re ready to do it,” he said. Berkshire Hathaway Energy already sells wind-generated electricity in Iowa. In a March presentation, the firm said captial expenditure forecasts for the next two years have increased $4.6 billion from the prior year, primarily due to win

Berkshire Hathaway shareholders love Warren Buffett for the investment acumen that’s made many of them millionaires, but they adore him for the nuggets of wit and wisdom he shares with them every year at the company’s annual meeting. And there was no shortage of that at this year’s gathering as the “Oracle of Omaha” and his longtime-business partner Charlie Munger, the vice chairman of Berkshire, held court for hours in front of 40,000 attendees at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Switzerland and the International Committee of the Red Cross helped secure the 82 girls in “lengthy negotiations”, the presidency said on its Twitter account. President Muhammadu Buhari will receive the girls on Sunday in the capital Abuja, it said, without saying how many Boko Haram suspects had been exchanged or disclosing other details. The release of the 82 girls may give a boost to the former military ruler who made crushing the Islamist militant Boko Haram insurgency a key pillar of his el

Long-time U.S. ally Saudi Arabia is pushing to diversify its source of arms suppliers and the Russians are more than happy to help. The Russian defense ministry played up the meeting afterward on the government’s website with the headline: “Saudi Arabia wants to buy modern Russian armament.” Saudi Arabia cut off relations with the Damascus regime back in 2012 and has been a major financier of the anti-Assad rebels. However, Russia has been a leading supplier of military arms to both Tehran and D

Investor David Tice is going deeper into bear territory, predicting that the economy is months away from a deep correction that will send stocks down by as much as 50 percent. Tice is known for his tenure as manager of the Prudent Bear Fund. He sold the fund, which depends on market pullbacks for profits, to Federated Investors just as the financial crisis was unfolding in 2008. It went down in 1987, 1994, 2001 and 2008,” Tice told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Friday. He sold his bear fund when it

She’s forced to party and stay on campus with her colleagues so she can share enviable pictures on her social feeds. The executive shows her an empty abandoned tunnel and tries to strike fear in her with talk of an impending server installation. It’s a bit strange how easily online critics find Mercer, especially since he’s made an emphatic point that he’s off the social grid. Mae embarrasses her family by broadcasting one of her parents’ jaunts in bed, and still her feed isn’t shut down. Mae ev

Every morning I wake up, drive to Dunkin’ Donuts and tap my phone to buy a large iced coffee. I don’t have to reach for my wallet and search for cash or pull out a debit card. I just lean over the debit card reader at the coffee shop, tap my phone, and go on with my life. You need a phone that supports this functionality to partake in the fun, but most devices sold over the past couple of years work in that fashion. Three primary options are available: Android Pay for most Android smartphones, S

Colbert fired back at Trump after he dismissed CBS’ Sunday morning politics show Face the Nation as “fake news” and “Deface the Nation” in an interview with CBS journalist John Dickerson last week. However, the law — at least as it is currently written — would appear to be Colbert’s side. Plus, because his show is taped, the editors were able to bleep out the offensive language before broadcast. “In this way, constitutionally-protected free speech rights of adults are balanced with the need to p

Japanese and Chinese finance ministers agreed on Saturday to enhance cooperation through bilateral dialogue on their economies and policy steps. The two ministers also agreed to hold the next bilateral economic dialogue in 2018 in China, a joint statement issued after their meeting showed.
