Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
After a hectic visit by demonstrators to Alsace yesterday to talk about reindustrialization, Emmanuel Macron is continuing his field tour this Thursday with the aim of putting something other than pension reform on the agenda. The Head of State is thus traveling to the Hérault on the theme of education.
But, as in the Bas-Rhin, opponents of the text on pensions intend to make their anger heard. Demonstrations are scheduled for 10 a.m. in Ganges, 11:30 a.m. in Lunel, 6:30 p.m. in Béziers or 7 p.m. in Bédarieux. And in Montpellier, it is at the Saint-Roch station that the trade unions call to meet, at 12 noon.
Already in the grip of a civil war, Yemen must face a new tragedy. At least 85 people were killed and more than 322 injured in a stampede in the capital Sanaa, officials said Houthis, the rebels who hold the city.
The stampede took place during a charity action organized in a school. According to a security source, “women and children are among the deceased”, and about fifty injured are in serious condition.
The negative consequences of Covid-19 are once again being felt. Between 2019 and 2021, 67 million children were completely or partially deprived of life-saving vaccines due to pandemic-related disruptions.
In a report published on Wednesday, Unicef is particularly concerned about this situation because the world has thus been set back more than 10 years in terms of childhood vaccination. Above all, “getting back on the right track will be a challenge”, underlines the UN agency which is sounding the alarm on the risks of epidemics of measles or polio.
