Attention turns to economy on final day of Macron’s visit to Spain

President Emmanuel Macron is in Spain for the final day of his two-day state visit, the first by a French president to the country since 2009. After being welcomed with a banquet at the Royal Palace by King Felipe VI on Tuesday, on today's agenda is the opening of the Franco-Spanish economic forum and a meeting with Spain's leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Once economically ahead of Spain, France is now seeing Spain grow faster, as the Spanish economy has outpaced its French neighbour in recent years.

US charges 19 over alleged drug-trafficking network in Dallas

The United States Department of Justice has charged 19 people allegedly connected to a major drug-trafficking operation in Dallas, Texas. The charges followed an investigation conducted under the Homeland Security Task Force, with several federal agencies involved, including the US Attorney’s Office, Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, ATF. US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, John Raybould, said the suspects were allegedly involved in a deeply established drug-trafficking network operating in Dallas. “According to the allegations, these 19 defendants operated one of the most entrenched drug-trafficking networks in Dallas,” Raybould said. He added, “This case reflects a very hard truth: when drug trafficking enters a neighbourhood, that’s when freedom leaves it, and in this case, freedom didn’t just fade; it was forced out directly and deliberately by this criminal enterprise.” Authorities said the coordinated investigation and prosecution effort was part of a broader push to dismantle violent criminal organisations and enhance public safety across North Texas. The Justice Department stressed that the charges are allegations and that all 19 defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in court.

Independence Day: Buy one, get one free on King Kosoko cinema tickets

Teqsus Studios has announced a buy-one-get-one-free ticket offer for its historical epic, King Kosoko: The Battle For Lagos, at selected cinemas nationwide on Independence Day. The studio said the offer would apply to all showings of the film on Thursday, October 1, as Nigeria marks its 66th independence anniversary. The film, directed by Adebayo Tijani, stars Femi Adebayo as Oba Kosoko and has grossed over N65 million at the Nigerian box office since its release on August 28 through FilmOne Entertainment. It tells the story of Oba Kosoko’s resistance to British imperial power and his fight to defend the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Lagos, a struggle that led to the bombardment of Lagos in 1851, remembered as the Salt Water War, Ogun Olomiro. The film is produced by Ayo Ajayi and Segun Olojo-Kosoko, a Lagos prince and seventh-generation descendant of Oba Kosoko. Ajayi, who is also executive producer, said the offer was the studio’s way of connecting the national celebration to the story on screen. “Independence Day is exactly what this film is about, a people determined to govern themselves,” Ajayi said. “There is no better day for Nigerians to see the story of a king who refused to surrender his kingdom’s sovereignty,” he added. Ajayi said the offer was an invitation to Nigerians to celebrate the country with a story of their own. The film parades an ensemble cast including Odunlade Adekola, Prince Jide Kosoko, Fathia Balogun, Gabriel Afolayan, Femi Branch, Tina Mba, Yinka Quadri, Dele Odule, Aishat Lawal, Kolawole Ajeyemi, Niyi Johnson and Sola Kosoko.
