Macron urges new mainstream coalition, appearing to rule out working with the far left
PARIS — Three days after the second round of France’s snap parliamentary election ended in gridlock, President Emmanuel Macron broke his silence to urge mainstream parties to form a solid majority in the National Assembly and shut out the extremes.France’s vote, which Macron unexpectedly called after his party was trounced by Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party in last month’s European elections, has tipped France into political limbo after none of the three main blocs came close to forming an absolute majority.In an open letter to the French people published Wednesday, Macron called on parties with “republican values” – understood to exclude parties on the far left and far right – to form a coalition large enough to pass laws in parliament.Macron’s...

Anger over jobs reserved for war heroes' children in Bangladesh
DHAKA — Thousands of university students in Bangladesh have been staging protests against a recruitment system that they say favors children of war heroes and certain groups for high-paying government jobs.The protesters say the system is discriminatory and they are calling for recruitment to be based on merit.A third of the posts are kept for the children of those who fought to win the country's independence in 1971.
