French actor Gerard Depardieu found guilty of sexually assaulting two women

3 days ago | radioessex.com | Adam Parsons

Depardieu, 76, was convicted by a court in Paris of groping the women during the filming of the 2021 movie Les Volets Verts (The Green Shutters). Both victims had been working on the film in behind-the-scenes roles.

He will be looking on with envy as Vladimir Putin parades both in Moscow today, with Chinese leader Xi Jinping flying in to join Victory Day events in Red Square. European allies of Ukraine will be watching nervously, wary of anything that could upturn the delicate quest for peace. President Trump's patience with peddling his much vaunted "peace deal" has been wearing thin and allies had feared Ukraine could be punished for it. That would have been grotesquely unfair, of course.

What China could do next as Trump's tariff war ramps-up

1 month ago | radioessex.com | Helen-Ann Smith
