Romania has taken a decisive step towards political stability as Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu secures a narrow victory for his new pro-European coalition government. The 240-143 vote in the 466-seat legislature came after a prolonged political crisis triggered by a canceled presidential election. The coalition encompasses the Social Democratic Party (PSD), the National Liberal Party (PNL), the ethnic Hungarian UDMR party, and other national minorities. This strategic alliance aims to counter the rising influence of far-right nationalist parties, who gained ground following high living costs and a sluggish economy. Despite the challenges of the current political landscape, Ciolacu remains optimistic about restoring public trust. He plans to organize a rerun of the annulled presidential election, with an agreed common pro-European candidate. President Klaus Iohannis is anticipated to swear in the new government soon.

Strictly Come Dancing viewers were left stunned after Tess Daly made a comment to Chris McCausland that many deemed "embarrassing". Chris and his partner Dianne Buswell performed a Quickstep to a track from Anything Goes for Musicals Week for their quarter finals performance. But the mood took a turn when Tess said to Chris and Dianne as they approached her, asking: "Can you see how happy she is with you". This comment sparked outrage among fans as Chris is blind due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa. Viewers expressed their shock on social media, with one writing: "No Tess, Chris can't see how happy he made Dianne...... #strictly." Another added: "Surely Tess didn't just ask Chris 'can you see how happy she is with you? ' #Strictly." Read more Strictly's Anton Du Beke says 'ridiculous situation' as he admits he's judging one star differently A third shared: "Tess saying to Chris 'can you see how happy she is? '....um no Tess, he can't #Strictly," while a fourth wrote: "Tess just asked Chris if he could see how happy Diane was....", reports the Mirror . A fifth commented: "did tess actually just say "can you see how happy she is with you" to chris. a blind man." Another viewer questioned: "Did um...did Tess really just ask "can you see how happy she is with you? Chris had previously admitted that he had turned down the show several times due to fears because of his condition. The comedian lost his eyesight when he was in his 20s due to a hereditary condition called retinitis pigmentosa. His mum and nan also had the conditon. Speaking on Strictly, Chris explained in a VT: "When I was born my eyesight was maybe perfect but it deteriorated very, very steadily until probably my late teens, early 20s when all the useful stuff just went." He admitted: "I was asked to do Strictly a few times and I said no because I was scared of it to be honest. I realised for me not to do this was quite selfish because I'm lucky enough to get myself to a position where I have these opportunities to represent people. "It's not that people with disabilities need inspiring or they need to see themselves on the telly but everyone else does...it's important to show people that more is possible than you would think.
