Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
A campsite of 400 people evacuated under the threat of fire in Castellane
The fire is spreading at full speed. Some 400 people were preventively evacuated from a campsite in Castellane in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in the face of the progression of a fire which has already covered 350 hectares in the neighboring town of Rougon, we learned on Wednesday at the prefecture. The fire broke out on Tuesday in Rougon, a village perched on the heights of the Verdon Regional Natural Park. Some 200 firefighters are mobilized to limit the progression of the fire which is still very active in areas difficult to access by land means.
Emmanuel Macron receives Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman this Thursday
Could this be a comeback? Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (“MBS”) is having dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday. This is the Saudi ruler’s first visit to Europe since the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. A coming that arouses the anger of human rights defenders.
This meeting is a further sign of the “rehabilitation” of the Saudi Crown Prince, less than two weeks after the visit of US President Joe Biden to Saudi Arabia, which definitively consecrated the return of “MBS” on the international scene, in a context of war in Ukraine and soaring energy prices.
France fails at the gates of the Euro 2022 final, mission half accomplished for Corinne Deacon
His regrets will undoubtedly remain eternal. By reaching the “last four”, but not Wembley, after the defeat (2-1) against Germany on Wednesday, Corinne Deacon met the expectations of her Federation but not hers, during a Euro where the coach brought a sporting milestone to Les Bleues without managing to completely soften the sometimes divisive image it sends back. The disappointment passed, she will surely be able to project herself with more serenity towards Australia and New Zealand, lands of reception of the next World Cup next summer. Deacon should normally be reappointed. And the Bleues will be there, once again, eagerly awaited.
