Microsoft has announced its most substantial commitment yet to France. The company pledged on Monday to invest 4 billion euros or $4.3 billion this year to bolster the country’s burgeoning artificial intelligence sector. This move is part of a broader effort unveiled during President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-business Choose France event. The summit aims to attract foreign investments and stimulate economic growth. Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith visited the company’s French headquarters with Macron. Smith said “we will build out the computing capacity here in France" and “put this infrastructure to work for everyone in France.”

The European Union’s executive will demand explanations from Eurovision song contest organizers why its flag was banned from the concert hall during the final. In a contest already full of controversy, the European Commission said it plans “a very lively discussion” with the organizers over the ban. Even though the 27-nation EU did not compete as such, many of its member states did, and the star-spangled blue flag is often seen as a unifier for all involved.

The replastering event once drew tens of thousands of tourists each year, but Mali's tourism industry has all but disappeared.
