In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. Senior Les Republicains figures withdraw support for Francois Fillon in the French presidential campaign.
The French presidential candidate François Fillon's support is collapsing in the face of a corruption scandal. - Georges Fenech, one of his most senior critics in Les Republicains party - tells us Mr Fillon's attitude is "suicidal", and the party should unite around former prime minister Alain Juppé. Also: Turkish ministers who've been prevented from addressing rallies in Germany have suggested the country's historic chauvinism is flaring up. We hear from both sides as diplomatic relations sour. And as he prepares to deliver the budget next week, will the Chancellor hear the pleas of businesses and their MPs?
