Floods in Guadeloupe, the Middle East in the Assembly and weather alert in France

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

After the passage of Hurricane Tammy, the respite born from the release of confinement on Saturday around 3 p.m. was only short-lived in Guadeloupe. The archipelago indeed suffered further bad weather on Sunday. Torrential rains have fallen since the middle of the night, swelling rivers which burst their banks and caused local flooding. The Minister Delegate for Overseas Territories, Philippe Vigier, is expected on site this Monday, for a trip planned until Wednesday. He should take stock of the damage, according to a prefectural source.

On the eve of a visit by Emmanuel Macron to Tel Aviv, the government will have the opportunity to reaffirm its position on the Middle East in front of deputies this Monday. A debate without a vote must start at 4 p.m. with a statement from Elisabeth Borne, followed by speeches by speakers from the groups and the presidents of the Foreign Affairs and European Affairs committees. On the other hand, tension risks being high in the hemicycle, the day after a trip to Israel by the President of the Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet, in the company of Eric Ciotti, during which she affirmed that France “fully” supported Israel and that nothing should “prevent” the country “from defending itself” in the war pitting it against Hamas. A statement strongly criticized by Jean-Luc Mélenchon. A controversy then broke out, with many elected officials, from the majority, from LR, RN and even the PS, attacking the leader of LFI.

The East and the South-East will have to pay attention to the sky this Monday. In anticipation of a rainy-stormy episode expected in the evening from the Cévennes to the Jura, Météo-France has in fact placed Jura, Ain, Isère, Drôme and Ardèche on orange rain-flood alert. Accumulated precipitation may exceed 100 mm occasionally between Ardèche and Ain, according to the 6 a.m. bulletin from the public establishment.
