Did you miss the early morning news? We have concocted a recap to help you see more clearly.
In the Arthur Noyer murder case, the jurors, who deliberated for more than 7 hours, seem to have sought a compromise. Tried before the Assize Court of Savoy, Nordahl Lelandais was sentenced Tuesday to a 20-year prison sentence, with a two-thirds security period, for the death of the young soldier in April 2017. If l he former dog handler was found guilty of deliberately killing Arthur Noyer, he escaped the maximum penalty requested a little earlier by the general counsel. His lawyer, Me Alain Jakubowicz, has logically indicated that he will not appeal.
The government can take a breather. The National Assembly has this time indeed given the green light to the health pass. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, after a second vote, the deputies voted for the key article of the bill for the gradual exit from the state of health emergency, including the controversial health pass . By 205 votes for and 85 against, the deputies therefore finally said “yes” by adopting article 1 of the text. Earlier in the evening on Tuesday, and against all expectations, the Assembly had voted against, the Modem having released LREM to protest against the vagueness of the text. If the sling is over, the setback, temporary, remains very symbolic for the executive and its methods.
Where is the Middle East heading? Fear of the worst is growing as the military escalation between Hamas and Israel escalated overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. The UN envoy even warned of a risk of “large-scale war”, while the United Nations Security Council must meet urgently on Wednesday. During the night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahou declared a state of emergency in the city of Lod, a theater in recent hours according to the police “riot” of the Arab minority. And he assured that the Hebrew state would “intensify” its military action.
