ROMANIA: Romanian President Klaus Iohannis announced his resignation yesterday following mounting pressure from populist opposition groups, two months after a top court annulled a presidential election in the country. 

Mr Iohannis has held the presidential role since 2014 and served the maximum of two five-year terms. But his presidency was extended in December after the Constitutional Court cancelled the presidential race two days before the December 8 run-off. 

TUNISIA: A Tunisian man went on trial in France yesterday on terrorism charges over the killing of three people in a basilica in the French city of Nice in 2020, one of multiple attacks that year linked to Islamic extremism.
