Mr. Fillon said he had been unfairly singled out by magistrates and implied that the investigation was politically motivated. Francois Hollande, France's president, criticised Mr. Fillon for questioning the impartiality of the justice system.

Two German men were convicted of murder for staging an illegal drag race in the heart of Berlin's central shopping districe in February 2016, killing a 69-year-old pensioner.

In Britain, two by-elections in seats held by the Labour Party highlighted its directionless leadership under Jeremy Corbyn. It lost Copeland, which it had held since 1935,handling the Conservatives the first gain at a by-election for a governing party since 1982. It also lost ground in the safer seat of Stoke. Labour is trailing behind the government in polls by nearly 20 points and Mr. Corbyn's personal ratings are on the floor.
在英国，工党举行的两次补选凸显出杰里米·科比领导力的迷失。 它失去了科普兰，自1935年以来这是首次，这使得保守党成为1982年以来执政党补选的第一次获利。它也失去了在斯托克的本应更安全的席位。 工党在投票中落后将近20点，而科比的个人得分也趴在地板上。
The British government sufferd its first defeat in Parliament on the Brexit bill, which will allow it to trigger the legal means for leaving the EU. The House of Lords amended the bill in an effort to secure the rights of EU nationals living in Britain. Brexiteers point out that Brussels has failed to give similar guarantees for Britons living in the EU. The Lords told MPS to search "their consciences" as it voted 358 to 256 for the amendment, which is likely to be removed when the bill returns to the Commons.

Donald Trump gave his first speech to Congress. In a departure from the shrillness that has characterised his presidency so far, a composed Mr. Trump gave a solemn address, though the themes of cracking down on illegall immigration, overturning Obamacare and erecting trade barriers sounded familiar. He also pledged his full support for NATO, having previously questioned the value of the military alliance.
