Disappointing Attal-Bardella duel, violent project at the passing of the flame and deadly lightning

Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.

Who won ? This is the question that everyone is asking after the debate between Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Jordan Bardella, head of the European list and president of the National Rally (RN). On the agenda: Europe, the environment, customs duties, immigration and defense. Several fault lines emerged between the two men, particularly on the question of Russia.

“Overall, the debate was not exciting, a little better in the last 20 minutes,” estimated our political journalist, Rachel Garrat-Valcarcel. But if we have to count the “good streaks” of both, Gabriel Attal undoubtedly led. It worked well on the double border but also on the RN’s changes of footing in Europe. Let’s still note Bardella’s good streak on Russia. »

The 26-year-old man, suspected of planning violent action against the Olympic flame, was indicted, the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office said. Without a criminal record, the individual, Alex G., was identified thanks to a disturbing message linked to the mass killing perpetrated in California in May 2014. During his interrogation, he admitted to having considered a violent act, although no direct reference to the Olympic flame was mentioned.

Alex G. has also shown a particular interest in the “Incel” movement (contraction of “Involuntary celibate”). During a search of his home, investigators seized a Gomm-cogne revolver, several telephones and a computer. According to his relatives, he is psychologically fragile, but “an expert psychiatrist did not detect any specific disorder”, indicated the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office.

One dead and one injured in absolute emergency. Lightning struck the Courrières football stadium, near Lens, on Thursday evening while training was in progress. The deceased man is a coach of the amateur club AS Courrières, aged around thirty. Another man “suffering from chest pain was transported to the hospital center in a state of absolute emergency” and a third was slightly injured, burned on the leg, details the prefecture in a press release.

“It seems that the intense rain (…) made people decide to leave the field,” explained fire captain Cédric Sauvage, head of the Lens rescue center. Lightning struck at that time, and unfortunately impacted the few people who were still there. »
