French President Emmanuel Macron has asked his prime minister, Gabriel Attal, to remain in post “for the time being to ensure the country’s stability”, after election results left no party with an outright majority. Mr Attal, who led the president’s Ensemble alliance’s election campaign, handed his resignation to Mr Macron on Monday, only for the president to refuse. Although Ensemble lost many of its seats in Sunday’s parliament election, it came second, behind a left-wing alliance but ahead of the far right which had been expected to win.

While some Barbadians were wrapped up in bed enjoying yesterday’s showers caused by a tropical wave, Omar Jemmott was praying it would ease. He watched helplessly as water flooded the environs of his home at Indian Ground, Westbury Road, St Michael. By the time a NATION team arrived around 7 p.m., the worst of the flooding was starting to ease, but there was still a pond to the west of the house and the workshop was ankle deep in water.

It is estimated that the diaspora in Canada contributes $25 million in remittances to Barbados each year, and the minister said that while this was an important support mechanism for many families in Barbados, “we want to be able to see how we can better leverage the connections between you who are working here in Canada [and] North America, as we have done across England and the rest of the world where we have a presence”.

Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge after the US found the company violated a deal meant to reform it after two fatal crashes by its 737 Max planes that killed 346 passengers and crew. The Department of Justice (DoJ) said the plane-maker had also agreed to pay a criminal fine of $243.6m (£190m). However, the families of the people who died on the flights five years ago have criticised it as a "sweetheart deal" that would allow Boeing to avoid full responsibility for the deaths. One called it an "atrocious abomination". Read more at www.nationnews.com (link in profile) #MeAndMyNation #YourNewsYourTimeYourWay #TheSourceMatters #Barbados #BarbadosNews
