President Joe Biden might have stood down from the 2024 race for the White House but that doesn’t mean first lady Jill Biden is giving up on any of her gilded diplomatic ambitions carried out in his name.

French trade unionists are threatening to bring chaos to the Paris Olympics as dancers signed up to perform filed a strike notice just one week before the opening ceremony, citing low pay and 'glaring inequalities in treatment'. With just a week to go until the lavish boat procession down the River Seine, available tickets cost between £700 and £2,200, with hospitality packages more than £3000. Such figures for a ceremony lasting less than four hours have incensed the unions, who say that profits are not being shared with ordinary workers.
