Tribute to the killed policeman: a crowd gathered in front of the Avignon police station

The investigation is continuing to determine in particular whether the two main suspects benefited from other complicity during their run, a police spokesperson told AFP.

Several searches were underway Monday morning, especially at the homes of the suspects, the same source said.

These arrests took place a few hours after a ceremony of tribute to the police officer which brought together several thousand people on Sunday.

A national tribute must be paid to Eric Masson on Tuesday afternoon in Avignon by Prime Minister Jean Castex who will be accompanied by the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin.

What to also remember

Michel Fourniret in critical condition.

The serial killer was hospitalized in an emergency on May 8 at the Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. The old man, 79, suffers from heart problems and mental degeneration. According to our information, he was placed in a coma and would be considered non-resuscitable by the doctors, who have initiated an end-of-life protocol. Sentenced twice to life imprisonment for the murders of eight women or teenage girls and indicted four times for those of little Estelle Mouzin or young women Lydie Logé, Joanna Parrish and Marie-Angèle Domèce, the serial killer will never be tried for these crimes of which he admitted to be the author.

Green light for vaccination of over 50s.

With a few days ahead of the initial schedule, vaccination is now open since Monday to all French people over the age of 50, as Emmanuel Macron announced last Thursday.

In addition, from Wednesday, injections will be available to people over 18 when a time slot will be available the day before for the next day on appointment booking platforms such as Doctolib.

The government's objective is still to stay the course of 30 million people vaccinated by mid-June, hence this new boost.

A new military platform.

As we announced to you a few days ago, a new military speech to warn about the risk of "civil war" in France was published Sunday evening on the site of the very right-handed weekly Valeurs Actuelles. This alarmist column, which follows that of retired soldiers published at the end of April, is this time signed by soldiers in service, but who have kept their anonymity. The text affirms in particular that "our elders are right" and largely takes up the observation of the first forum. Gérald Darmanin, Minister of the Interior, denounced Monday morning the lack of "courage" of the signatories.

Jerusalem still under tension.

As has been the case for several days, new clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police broke out on Monday morning on the Mosques esplanade.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, hundreds of Palestinians were injured when Israeli forces intervened, targeted by projectiles, who used stun grenades in an attempt to disperse the crowd.

These tensions began Thursday evening in a neighborhood of East Jerusalem at the heart of a heated battle in court over the fate of Palestinian families threatened with eviction in favor of Israeli settlers.

The unexpected info

In China, leopards in the wild are causing panic.

Three felines escaped from an animal park in Hangzhou, in the east of the country, but the establishment took a long time to recognize the facts and raise the alarm, which caused panic among the population for several days. Local authorities announced on Monday the arrest of five people, including the zoo manager, and the opening of an investigation. According to Chinese media, a total of three young leopards fled the animal park. Two were captured during the weekend, the third is still being sought with significant resources, especially by air.
