The number of deaths outpaced the number of births in France for the first time since the Second World War and ten years before the official French national statistics bureau had projected.

Data published by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) on Tuesday revealed that there were 651,000 deaths in 2025, an increase of 1.5 per cent over last year. The official statistician attributed this increase to a particularly deadly winter flu at the start of the year.

However, this trend is likely to continue, with 2026 marking the first year in which members of the baby boom generation will have reached the age of 80 in France, the head of the demographic and social studies unit at INSEE, Sylvie Le Minez, said per Le Figaro.

Meanwhile, there was a 2.1 per cent decline in births, with 645,000 babies being born in 2025. This marked the lowest level since 1942 and represented a 24 per cent drop since the last high in 2010.

It means that for the first time since World War II, France experienced a negative natural population growth at -6,000. This came ten years ahead of previous projections from the INSEE, which estimated that the so-called demographic winter would arrive by 2035.

Despite the decline, the total population of France continued to rise to 69.1 million people, compared to 68.6 million in 2024. Like other stagnating European nations, the increase in the population of around 500,000 was almost entirely attributable to mass migration.

As of the latest figures released by INSEE, the foreign-born population of France hit a fresh record in 2024 of 7.7 million out of a total 68 million, meaning that over one in ten people in the country were born elsewhere.

This natural population decline comes despite President Macron’s “ demographic rearmament ” scheme that he pitched at the start of 2024 to increase birth rates in France. Critics have noted that none of the central pillars of the plan have been enacted two years later as the French government was plunged into political chaos by Macron’s cyincal tactics to prevent the populist National Rally of Marine Le Pen from coming to power.

According to the INSEE report, the French fertility rate continued to decline last year, falling to just 1.56 children per woman, compared to 1.61 in 2024 and well below the 2.1 children per woman needed for population replacement.

“You have to go back to the end of the First World War to find a total fertility rate this low,” the public statistician noted.

As with other Western nations experiencing demographic collapse, a critical factor has been the move by many women to delay having children into their 30s, when they are often physically able to have as many children as they would have been able to in their 20s. Indeed, the average age of a first time mother continued to rise in 2025, hitting 31.2 years old. Just two decades prior, the average was below 30.

The INSEE’s Sylvie Le Minez said that the birth rate “continues to decrease for the most fertile women, aged 25 to 34, and remains stable for women aged 35 and over, whose fertility had increased in the past.”

Growing violence in German schools is an issue facing the entire country, in large part due to mass immigration. Now, after the Cottbus public prosecutor’s office launched an investigation into 18 specific cases of serious violence in the migrant-dominated Regine Hildebrandt Primary School in the south of Cottbus, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is speaking out against the violence.

The revelation that so many criminal investigations are ongoing at just one school was shared by Brandenburg’s Interior Minister René Wilke on Wednesday during the Interior Committee of the Brandenburg State Parliament. There are also seven additional investigations pending before the police.

The school has drawn national attention due to the levels of violence being seen inside, with parents writing an open letter seeking help from authorities as their children become targets. In the letter, which was first reported on by German news outlet Junge Freiheit, the parents reported physical attacks with serious injuries, including one student who suffered a concussion. In addition, students were using pepper spray, as well as fighting with kicks and punches.

A father at the Regine Hildebrandt Primary School told Junge Freiheit that there were “at least two to three attacks” a week before he took his children out of school. He said that the names of the perpetrators were “for example, Ali, Mohammed, and Ahmed.”

The data show that 43 percent of students at Regine Hildebrandt Elementary School have a migration background.

Dennis Hohloch, an Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician, said in response: “Immigration is the biggest problem, the biggest safety risk for our children in our schools. We had 3,209 violent offenses at our schools in 2024. If you take the 190 school days a year, that’s 17 violent offenses a day. This figure is 20% higher than 4 years ago. Violence in schools, especially here in Brandenburg, can no longer be minimized or glossed over, even if the SPD and the Ministry of Education keep trying.”

He added that his party’s solutions include: “First and foremost, we would like to lower the age of criminal liability to 12 years. We will enforce the principle of German before regular schooling. We will implement migration caps at our schools. We will ban indoctrination by law. We will return to the principle of performance in accordance with the principle of encouraging rather than demanding and will once again focus on teaching basic cultural skills.”

While the AfD is the top polling party in Brandenburg by a large margin, the party is still far from power. Meanwhile, the chaos is only growing in the school system.

The interior minister described a serious crisis in the school and announced that “these acts would also have consequences very quickly.” However, what consequences remain to be seen, as under current laws, minors cannot be charged as adults, and in many cases, very little can be done criminally. While transferring them to other schools is possible, those schools will then face the same problems.

The minister affirmed that the list of criminal offenses is “very, very long and varied.” He described dangerous bodily harm, threats, insults, and coercion. Wilke described “aggressiveness and willingness to use violence as a prominent dimension.”

Now, in response to the violence, a security team has begun patrolling the school at a cost to taxpayers. In addition, police are conducting “threat” interviews with known perpetrators. Authorities are also meeting with Cottbus Mayor Tobias Schick (SPD).

The mayor, who belongs to the far-left SPD, which has been a prominent proponent of mass immigration, said during a press conference in August 2025 that the problem is a consequence “of partly unregulated, partly uncontrolled immigration in recent years.”

This sentiment has also been echoed by other left-wing politicians across Germany when the result of their own policies, and the policy of their own parties, begins to bear down on the populace.

This situation is also hardly unique to Cottbus, as the issue is hitting German schools across the country, including major cities like Berlin. Approximately 40 percent of all violence in German schools is committed by foreigners; however, how much of the remaining 60 percent is committed by Germans with a migration background is not reported.

Terrified Dutch students made to live side-by-side with 125 refugees to aid their ‘integration’ were subjected to years of sexual assault and violence, an investigation has reported.

Stek Oost, located in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam, was sold to the Netherlands as the dream solution to the housing and refugee crisis.

A total of 125 students and 125 refugees would live alongside each other, and were even encouraged to ‘buddy up’ so the migrants would adapt to life in the Netherlands more quickly.

But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place.

One woman said she would regularly see ‘fights in the hallway and then again in the shared living room’.

A man told the programme that a refugee threatened him with an eight-inch kitchen knife.

And they claimed they were ignored despite filing multiple reports to authorities.

In one shocking case, a former resident said that a Syrian raped her after inviting her to his room to watch a film then refusing to let her leave.

The woman, identified only as Amanda, said: ‘He wanted to learn Dutch, to get an education. I wanted to help him.’

In another horrifying case reported by the programme, Stadgenoot, the firm that runs the complex, suspected a ‘gang rape’ took place in one of its flats the summer of 2023.

Police told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that while it was not aware of any gang rape taking place on the premises, it did say it had received seven reports of sexual assault.

Since opening in 2018, Stek Oost has faced multiple similar allegations. In 2022, Dutch TV station AT5 reported that a refugee had been accused of six sex attacks between 2018 and 2021.

A drag queen has appeared in a Scottish court after being charged with child sex offenses. Craig Baxter, who performed under the name Miss Kitty Swallows, had worked in multiple nurseries and childcare centers in his community.

Baxter was first taken into custody in October of 2025 after a local predator hunting group in Paisley became aware of concerning allegations against him. According to Scottish Daily Express coverage at the time, the group, Fighting Justice Against Predators, had been at an unrelated protest in the Johnstone area when they were approached by multiple children who claimed they were being groomed online.

Jo Drennan, 37, told the paper: “Our group were out at a protest when some wee boys came up to us. They said they were getting groomed online. All the kids know us in Renfrewshire. They know we are there to keep them safe and they trust us. One of the wee boys then sent us quite a lot of stuff.”

After briefly reviewing the evidence, Drennan called the police and Baxter was taken into custody that same day.

At the time of his arrest, Baxter had been working at a nursery. Local parents on Facebook reported that he had worked at multiple childcare institutions around Paisley, including Abbey Nursery, Douglas Street Early Learning and Childcare Centre, Glencoats Lodge, and Kirklandneuk Early Learning Childcare Centre. He was terminated from his job shortly after his arrest.

While the allegations against Baxter are related to children under 15, it has been confirmed that none of the incidents involve children that were in the care of the nursery he was employed at.

Following his arrest, he was released on bail and has been allowed to remain in the community while his trial is ongoing.

While details on the case are currently limited, it is known that Baxter is facing two charges. The first has been brought under Sections 33 and 34 of the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009. Under Section 33, it is an offence to make a child aged 13 to 15 view a sexual image. Section 34 covers cases where an adult deliberately sends or directs indecent sexual messages—whether written or spoken—to a child within the same age range.

The second allegation has been brought under Section 1 of the Protection of Children and Prevention of Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2005, which relates to arranging or attempting to arrange a meeting with a person under 16 for sexual purposes.

Appearing in court on Tuesday, Baxter made no plea as prosecutors reviewed the charges, noting that he had caused a minor to look at a pornographic or sexual image. According to the Scottish Sun, the case against him was continued to allow prosecutors to investigate further.

In addition to working with children, Baxter performed as a drag queen at local bars and venues under the moniker “Miss Kitty Swallows.” Since his arrest, most of the listings advertising his performances, along with his personal Facebook, have been deleted.

While Scottish media have claimed he was exclusively an “adult” performer, Reduxx has located minutes from a 2023 Parent Council meeting at Irvine Royal Academy revealing that Baxter was involved in a fundraiser for the school.

Baxter is not the first Scottish drag queen to face criminal charges for child sexual abuse-related offenses.

As previously reported by Reduxx, a drag queen who co-authored a guide for “trans youth” for a major Scottish LGBT charity was charged and ultimately convicted of distributing child pornography in 2024. The sexual abuse materials found in Easton’s possession included images and videos of newborn babies, toddlers, and prepubescent children.

Following his conviction, it was revealed that Easton had previously worked with LGBT Youth Scotland. The charity was exposed by Reduxx in 2022 for participating in the alleged grooming and sexual exploitation of two minor boys who had been accessing their services.

A German left-winger who faked and sent out letters purportedly written by right-wing opposition party Alternative for Germany (AfD) had been acquitted by a court in Berlin.

In a verdict dated January 13, the Tiergarten District Court ruled the activist’s actions did indeed fulfil the criteria for document forgery – a criminal offence. However, the culprit’s actions could be construed as satire and were covered by artistic freedom, it said.

In November 2023, Philipp Ruch had sent out letters to nine members of AfD. He used the party’s official logo and copied the signatures of its leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, giving the impression that the forgeries were official letters from the leadership of Germany’s main opposition party.

The letters urged recipients to report “relevant circumstances” from within the party which might aid German authorities in their ongoing struggle to ban AfD.

Ruch asked for excerpts from group chats, pictures of weapons or recordings of meetings – everything which could “come back to bite AfD” – purportedly so that party leadership could devise defence strategies.

It also promised the addressees prizes and an exemption from party membership dues until the end of 2025 if they delivered usable information.

In truth, Ruch intended to use the material gathered for a campaign to push for an AfD ban orchestrated by a hard-left artist collective he founded, the so-called Centre for Political Beauty (Zentrum für Politische Schönheit, ZPS)

ZPS is a Berlin-based organisation that has repeatedly tried to oppose the AfD with “humorous” actions such as drowning out an open-air interview with AfD leader Weidel with loud music in July last year – allegedly with silent approval from Berlin officials.

The prosecutor’s office said Ruch’s deed constituted document forgery – which is a criminal offence according to Section 267 of the German Criminal Code – and demanded a fine of €7,200.

Ruch said he had been using forged signatures for around 18 years in his activism and warned the judge she was “robbing him of the soul of his projects”.

Presiding judge Regina Schlosser ultimately ruled in Ruch’s favour. While his actions fulfilled the criteria for document forgery, they should be seen as an artistic performance, “AfD must accept artistic criticism”, she added.

The prosecution may still appeal the verdict.

Ruch said he was happy with the outcome and added that his artist collective would continue using forged signatures in the future.

What is at stake was explained by Jaime Semprún, the son of the writer Jorge Semprún:

“When the eco-citizen claims to ask the most disturbing question-‘What world will we leave to our children?’-he avoids asking the truly unsettling one: ‘To which children will we leave the world?’”.

I went to London for a few days for a conference.

First, a walk along the Thames at Canary Wharf, the financial district.

No Jingle Bells, but Allahu Akbar.

Then, in the very central Leicester Square, I came across an Islamic stand distributing the Quran (also in Italian), opposite a Christmas market and a Lego store.

All this while, in Iran, the people were trying to free themselves from the dictatorship of slippers.

In this twilight of the century, we witness the great macabre ball of a change of civilization.

Under the Christmas curtain, barbarians in fezzes and black coats hand out free Qurans, as if they were bonbons for the exhausted soul of the West. Europe, this greenhouse of decadent orchids, now prostrates itself to the call of the muezzin among vape shops and toy stores and it dissolves into a harem of forced tolerance, where Islam is offered as a panacea to unhappy urbanites.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is right: “The United Kingdom is undergoing an Islamic conquest.”

This is a change of civilization: not the roar of cannons, but the whisper of verses offered for free to unhappy natives, lost in their metropolitan spleen.

It is no surprise that the Emirates have just withdrawn funding for students studying in the United Kingdom: the Arab country does not want its children to be Islamized in England.

In two generations, with demography, you can conquer a country. You don’t need armies or attacks.

In 1975, the white British population of London was 85 percent. Today, fifty years later, it is only 37 percent and falling. The Telegraph reports this and compares this transformation to Constantinople from 1453 to 1500.

In England, the news is that whites will become a minority by 2063.

I would bet it will happen much sooner. And all of Western Europe faces the same prospect; debating whether it will occur in 2052 or can be postponed to 2076 is a waste of time.

Go to Brent: 300,000 inhabitants, twinned with Nablus, the largest Palestinian Arab city in the “West Bank” under Hamas control and known as “the capital of suicide bombers.”

The Brent Central Mosque was once a church. In the 1970s, with “demographic change” and the growth of the Muslim population, the church was purchased and converted into a mosque. The Wembley Central Mosque in Brent was also a church.

The growing number of Muslim officials elected in cities such as London, Birmingham, and Bradford-where mosques and Islamic centers increasingly shape the urban landscape-reveals a radical change of civilization, faster even than I had thought.

Within 40 years, whites will be a minority in England. And by the end of the century, one Englishman in five will be Muslim.

The self-extinction of native Western peoples is unprecedented outside of wars, famines, or plagues. Yet it is happening at such a pace that “analysts” are now fixing a precise date for their disappearance.

The Christmas lights shining on Leicester Square looked like relics in an open-air museum.

In a case that serves as a grim microcosm of our civilizational crisis, a 37-year-old UK woman aborted a baby she had desperately wanted because of “an intense fear for the future and the impact of the climate crisis.”

The unnamed woman wrote to the Guardian’s advice columnist Annalisa Barbieri, asking: “I had an abortion due to climate anxiety. How can I come to terms with it?” The woman stated that she was “happily married and have two children” whom she loves dearly, but she “longed for a third” child.

“I’ve always cared about the climate crisis, and since after having kids, and knowing it will affect their lives more than mine, I became motivated to make changes,” she wrote. “We like a very ‘green’ life.” She and her husband successfully “tried” for a third child, and she became pregnant.

“Within a week I was wrought with an intense fear for the future and the impact of the climate crisis,” she continued. “I spoke to some friends, and at length to my husband, and had a termination [abortion]. Initially I felt relief, then devastation at what I had done. With the help of antidepressants and counselling I felt more on an even keel, but never at peace. After a year I still felt sadness and regret, so we decided to try again.”

“I became pregnant, and again, as if a switch had been turned, I felt intense anxiety and couldn’t see a positive future. Ultimately, I had a miscarriage. Since then I’ve worked hard at trying to find contentment with my lovely family of four. How can I make sense of what has happened and reach acceptance of what I did?”

The advice columnist urged the woman to examine her own personal history to determine why she did what she did and told her to give herself “space for grief,” including for the termination. But she affirmed the central reason for the abortion, noting that “on some level we should all have climate anxiety. Yet we walk around with disavowal, dissociation and denial to not see how terrifying it is.”

This awful story showcases so much about what is wrong with our society. Fear for the future driving a woman to kill her pre-born child, with the support of her friends and the child’s father—because the “climate crisis” has become our culture’s new eschatological doom narrative. This narrative is a secular replacement for the Final Judgement, in which God will judge all of humanity.

In the secular version, child sacrifice is committed to appease the weather gods.

But sin is very often its own judgment; the UK, like the rest of the West, faces a crisis of population collapse with consequences far more severe than any threat posed by the climate. In England and Wales in 2022, 247,703 abortions took place—nearly three in ten of every child conceived. Around 10 million pre-born children have been killed since the 1967 Abortion Act. Babies can be killed in the womb for any reason or for no reason at all—even “climate anxiety,” spurred each day by the same media that champions our abortion regimes.

To this mother’s obvious pain—her “devastation,” her guilt, her inability to come to terms with what she did—the culture has no answer. Go to therapy, the Guardian predictably advises her. Because after fueling fear for the future while championing feticide, our culture cannot point the broken people of our suicidal civilization to the only place where they can find truth and healing—and that is Christ.

Germany’s decision to shut down all its nuclear power plants was a “huge mistake” and has come at a high cost to the economy, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said yesterday, speaking to the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Dessau.

His comments reignited debate over the country’s long-term energy strategy and power generation capacity.

“It was a serious strategic mistake to phase out nuclear energy … we simply don’t have enough energy generation capacity,” Merz said.

Germany’s energy system now relies on state intervention to keep prices at acceptable levels.

“To have acceptable market prices for energy production again, we would have to permanently subsidise energy prices from the federal budget,” Merz said, adding: “We can’t do this in the long run.”

Germany’s nuclear phase-out was accelerated following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March 2011. The government led by then-chancellor Angela Merkel moved to speed up an exit plan that had first been adopted in 2000. The policy aimed to reduce nuclear risks while advancing the Energiewende, or “energy turnaround”, Germany’s energy transition centred on renewables.

Merz said the decision to exit nuclear power had long-term strategic consequences.

Over the 2010s, Germany progressively shut down its nuclear fleet. The phase-out concluded in April 2023, when the final three reactors — Isar 2, Emsland and Neckarwestheim 2 — were permanently taken offline, ending about six decades of nuclear electricity generation.

The closures came amid Europe’s energy crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Despite renewed debate about nuclear power’s role in energy security, the remaining reactors’ operating lives were extended by only three months before being shut down.

Merz said Germany should at least have retained its last remaining nuclear capacity during that period.

“If you are going to do it, you should at least have left the last remaining nuclear power plant in Germany on the grid three years ago, so that you at least have the electricity generation capacity that we had up until then,” he said.

He added that the nuclear exit had contributed to high costs and complexity in Germany’s energy transition.

“So we are now undertaking the most expensive energy transition in the entire world,” he said. “I know of no other country that makes things so expensive and difficult as Germany.”

The nuclear phase-out, endorsed by successive governments, has been criticised by opponents as complicating Germany’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045.

Although Merz has argued that Germany should have retained nuclear capacity, restarting permanently shut reactors is widely considered unfeasible.

According to German energy news portal Clean Energy Wire, once reactors are permanently shut down they are de-fuelled, safety systems are dismantled or deactivated and key components begin to degrade without active maintenance.

In Germany, the last nuclear plants have been fully de-fuelled and partially dismantled, meaning any restart would require rebuilding large sections of the facilities.

Merz said the current government faced the consequences of past decisions.

“We inherited something that we now have to correct,” he said, adding: “But we simply don’t have enough energy generation capacity.”

Regulatory barriers further complicate any revival. Operating licences are permanently revoked once decommissioning begins and restarting reactors would require new approvals, full safety reviews and compliance with modern nuclear standards.

Public opposition to nuclear energy also remains strong, especially in Germany, according to Clean Energy Wire.

The World Nuclear Association has said costs present another major obstacle, with restart estimates running into hundreds of millions or even billions of euros for retrofits, safety upgrades and staffing.

With Germany’s heavy investment in renewables, electricity imports from neighbouring countries and European Union emissions rules, restarting old reactors is generally considered economically unattractive.

Some political voices argue that maintaining nuclear power — or investing in new reactors — could have provided greater energy independence or price stability.

France is often cited as an example. It generates about 65 per cent to 70 per cent of its electricity from nuclear power, producing a largely low-carbon electricity mix and reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.

It is also planning to build at least six new reactors by the mid-2030s, although high construction costs have pushed up prices in recent years.

In Germany, Merz’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party has proposed examining whether the most recently shut reactors could be technically reactivated and has expressed support for advanced nuclear technologies, without presenting a concrete plan to restart plants.

The Greens remain firmly opposed to nuclear power and consider the phase-out irreversible, while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has been among the strongest advocates for restarting or expanding nuclear capacity.

‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen.’

The famous scripture quote from 2 Samuel 1:27 accurately describes the situation involving late British Queen Elisabeth II’s youngest son.

The measure of just how much Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s situation has devolved will become apparent for all to see, as he moves out of the grand Royal Lodge mansion by his birthday in February.

The Telegraph reported:

“Renovations on the former prince’s new home appeared to be in full swing as Andrew prepares to move out of the 30-room mansion on the Windsor Great Park estate.”

Andrew was pressured into giving up his lease to Royal Lodge in October, after he was stripped of his titles by his brother King Charles.

This came as a result to the revelation that Andrew lied to the public about the length and depth of his relationship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Looks like Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been demoted to Marsh Farm.

“Andrew’s exile to Sandringham follows a public outcry when it emerged that for more than 20 years, he had only paid a peppercorn rent on his Royal Lodge mansion.

This revelation then prompted the Commons public accounts committee to demand answers from the Crown Estate about how the Royal family’s properties were managed.”
