Macron and the 3rd dose, Pesquet touches Earth and moving reunion in the United States

Did you miss the news from the start of the morning? We have concocted a recap to help you see more clearly.

While the epidemic is on the move, what will the president announce? Only a few more hours to get the answer. This evening at 8 p.m., Emmanuel Macron will address the French for the 9th time since the start of the Covid-19 crisis. Main purpose of this speech: the promotion of the vaccine booster. On this subject, the Health Defense Council is meeting this Tuesday morning in order to think about the best way to push the French currently eligible for a third dose – over 65 years old, caregivers, obese, victims of co-morbidities – to take the plunge.

Mission accomplished: Thomas Pesquet once again has his feet on the ground. After spending some 200 days in zero gravity, the French astronaut concluded his second space mission on Monday night with a successful landing off the coast of Florida. It was 4:33 a.m. in Paris when SpaceX’s Dragon capsule hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Thomas Pesquet has yet to go through a battery of scientific tests before he can take some well-deserved vacation.

The time was starting to be very long, really very long for expatriates in the United States. With the coronavirus pandemic, many have not seen their loved ones for three years. But on Monday joy returned to their faces as their host country reopened its borders.

Our correspondent in the United States, Philippe Berry, shows you in the video above the reunion of some French people at Los Angeles airport. Prepare your handkerchiefs, the sequence is moving.
