Back to school for Attal, Niamey defies Paris and orange vigilance in Corsica and Alpes-Maritimes

Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

Gabriel Attal on the board! This Monday will be a big day for the new Minister of Education, since he will present his first back-to-school press conference. A high mass bringing together more than 70 journalists, whose announcements are always closely scrutinized by the million National Education staff. The ideal opportunity for the youngest Minister of Education of the Fifth Republic (34 years old), to show that he has fairly broad shoulders. Especially since it will be necessary to reassure the staff, burned after the passage rue de Grenelle of Jean-Michel Blanquer, considered too authoritarian and that of Pap Ndiaye, who never knew how to really embody the function.

Demonstration against France in Niamey, the ultimatum in Paris has expired

Niamey’s ultimatum to Paris expired on Sunday evening. The junta, which took power by force in Niger on July 26, gave French ambassador Sylvain Itté 48 hours on Friday evening to leave the territory. Paris then immediately replied by stating that “the putschists do not have the authority to make this request, the ambassador’s approval emanating only from the legitimate elected authorities of Niger”, those of President Mohamed Bazoum. So to show its strength, the junta let its supporters demonstrate all weekend: first on Saturday with the gathering of 20,000 people in a stadium in the capital, then on Sunday near the French military base in Niamey.

The weather is not going to be nice this Monday in part of the south of France. The weather will indeed always be unstable in the South-East and towards the Pyrenees, more variable elsewhere, according to Météo-France which has issued orange vigilance for thunderstorms in the Alpes-Maritimes and Corsica. The Alpes-Maritimes are in orange vigilance for thunderstorms and rain-flooding, Corse-du-Sud in orange vigilance for thunderstorms and waves-submersion, while Haute-Corse is only in orange vigilance for thunderstorms.
