Khloé Kardashian revealed during part one of the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" reunion special that Kim and Kourtney Kardashian's infamous physical fight on the long-running show made it to air partially because a representative from E! (the network where the show aired for 14 years) watched it happen in real life.

In one of the more heated moments from the long-running reality series that wrapped its 20th, and final, season on June 10, the two oldest Kardashian sisters are seen punching and hitting each other after Kim criticizes Kourtney's work ethic. Khloé tries to unsuccessfully break up the fight while Kendall laughs in the background.

During the first part of the wide-ranging reunion interview with TV host Andy Cohen on Thursday, Khloé opened up about the emotionally-charged season 18 "KUWTK" moment involving her older sisters. Kim and Kourtney, along with Kendall, Kylie, and Kris Jenner, were also present during the special, which took a closer look back at the Kardashian-Jenner family's reality show.

"One day, out of all of filming, we have an E! representative come to set," Khloé said about filming the controversial scene that aired in March 2020. "And that day, an E! representative was on-set during the fight."

"My mom wasn't there and Kendall and I were, kind of, just in shock," she continued, while Kendall added that everyone else initially thought Kim and Kourtney were "joking" when the two Kardashian sisters started fighting.

Khloé added: "So, [Kim and Kourtney] didn't want it shown but also, an E! rep is there ..."

"And [people at the network] know it happened," Cohen chimed in, with Khloé repeating Cohen's remark and agreeing with it.

Kris also admitted that she initially wanted to edit out the contentious scene between Kim and Kourtney from the "KUWTK" episode, but ultimately, the Kardashian-Jenner family made a collective decision to leave it in and have it air.

It wasn't the sisters' first fight on "KUWTK," but it was the first one where Kim and Kourtney got physical.

In 2018, Kim famously called Kourtney "the least exciting to look at" in an episode after the sisters couldn't agree on a time to shoot the family's annual Christmas card.

"I need Kourtney to not be so f--king annoying with a stick up her a-- like she runs this s--- because she doesn't," Kim was filmed telling Kris Jenner about her older sister. "She is the least exciting to look at, so she can be out."

A few months after Kim and Kourtney's fight aired in 2020, Kourtney announced in July that she was taking a break from filming the reality show, citing a "toxic environment." Kris announced in September that "KUWTK" was ending.

Kourtney echoed her sentiments about the show during Thursday's chat with Cohen, stating that "KUWTK" had become a "slightly toxic environment" towards the end of its run.

She added that she was "there for it for a long time" when it came to sharing her life and relationships on-camera but it no longer felt "productive" to her to do the show.

"The time that it was taking to film, and the turnaround," Kourtney said, detailing one of her complaints about the reality show. "And that it was like six months later, the episode would air."

France's Macron names veteran centrist ally Bayrou as prime minister
French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday named Francois Bayrou his third prime minister of 2024, tasking the veteran centrist with steering the country out of its second major political crisis in the last six months. The priority for Bayrou, a close Macron ally, will be passing a special law to roll over the 2024 budget, with a nastier battle over the 2025 legislation looming early next year. Bayrou, 73, is expected to put forward his list of ministers in the coming days, but will likely face the same existential difficulties as Barnier in steering legislation through a hung parliament comprising three warring blocs.

Moldova declares a state of emergency over energy as fears of Russian gas shortage loom

A majority in Moldova’s 101-seat legislature voted to pass the state of emergency, which will start on Dec. 16 and last 60 days. A special commission will urgently adopt measures to manage “imminent risks” if Moscow fails to supply gas to the Kuciurgan power plant, the country's largest, which is situated in the separatist pro-Russian Transnistria region.

The company was on track to add around $120 billion to its market value of $843 billion, based on premarket share movements, as it also forecast revenue for the first quarter above Wall Street estimates on Thursday.

Dutch court rejects bid to stop arms exports to Israel
A Dutch court on Friday rejected a bid by 10 pro-Palestinian NGOs to stop the Netherlands exporting weapons to Israel and trading with Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. The Hague district court stressed that the state has some leeway in its policies and courts should not rush to step in. The plaintiffs, citing high civilian casualties in Israel's war in the Gaza Strip, had argued that the Dutch state, as a signatory to the 1948 Genocide Convention, has a duty to take all reasonable measures at its disposal to prevent genocide.

Defence minister orders Israeli troops to prepare to spend winter on Mount Hermon
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has ordered Israeli troops to prepare to stay over the winter on Mount Hermon, a strategic location overlooking Damascus, adding to signs that Israel's presence in Syria is set to continue for a prolonged period. "Due to what is happening in Syria - there is enormous security importance to our holding on to the peak of Mount Hermon," a statement from Katz's office said on Friday. The order suggests that Israeli troops who moved into a buffer zone inside Syrian territory as well as a "few additional points" following the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad's government are likely to remain.

Exclusive-Trump transition recommends scrapping car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Tesla
The Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla , according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government’s ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems. Musk, the world's richest person, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected president in November. Removing the crash-disclosure provision would particularly benefit Tesla, which has reported most of the crashes – more than 1,500 – to federal safety regulators under the program.

US data has Fed striding toward rate cut next week, and tip-toeing into 2025
Investors view it as a near given that the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point at its Dec. 17-18 meeting, with more attention focused on policymakers' new economic projections released alongside the decision. Those projections will include an updated look at how much further Fed officials think they will reduce rates in 2025 and perhaps into 2026, an exercise that will have to account for data in the meantime showing stickier-than-expected inflation, a healthy labor market, a U.S. election result that could shift the global trade and immigration landscape, and ongoing geopolitical risks. With so much to assess, a multitude of new risks, and a lot of uncertainty, many analysts expect the collective messaging from the central bank's policy statement on Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell's post-meeting press conference and the updated projections to be somewhat hawkish - with the Fed perhaps closer to a rate-cut stopping point, or at least very reluctant to commit to many more reductions in borrowing costs, than it was just a few months ago.

Assad's final hours in Syria: Deception, despair and flight
Bashar al-Assad confided in almost no one about his plans to flee Syria as his reign collapsed. Hours before he escaped for Moscow, Assad assured a meeting of about 30 army and security chiefs at the defence ministry on Saturday that Russian military support was on its way and urged ground forces to hold out, according to a commander who was present and requested anonymity to speak about the briefing. Assad told his presidential office manager on Saturday when he finished work he was going home but instead headed to the airport, according to an aide in his inner circle.

German liberals to side with government on tax relief bill, letter shows
Germany's Free Democrats (FDP), which moved into opposition with the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition last month, will support legislation to offset the burden of inflation on taxpayers, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Friday. While still in government, the liberal FDP had pushed for an adjustment in taxation to prevent a creeping effect on wages hit by high inflation, arguing that price pressures were eating into people's take-home pay. "We understand your letter to mean that you are serious this time," FDP leader Christian Lindner and parliamentary faction head Christian Duerr wrote in response to a plea by Scholz to help his now-minority government pass the legislation.
