A court in Paris is due to hand down its verdict in the sexual assault trial of French actor Gerard Depardieu on Tuesday, in one of the highest-profile #MeToo cases to come before judges in France.

In a dramatic turn of events, Pakistan has reportedly shot down a Rafale fighter jet belonging to the Indian Air Force. This was confirmed by a senior French intelligence official who spoke to American media outlets.

According to Reuters, two US officials confirmed that Pakistan used the Chinese jets to fire air-to-air missiles that brought down at least two Indian aircraft. One US official said at least one of the planes was a French-made Rafale fighter jet.
