What to also remember

  • Inflation is accelerating a little more than estimated.

  • Delphine Jubillar's husband heard by the judges.

    Ten months after the disappearance of the 33-year-old nurse, Cédric Jubillar was to be heard this Friday at the Toulouse courthouse by the two magistrates who indicted him for murder. This will be the first questioning of suspect No. 1 as an indictment. In February, the 34-year-old plaster painter was heard as a civil party, by these judges in charge of the investigation since the end of December 2020. Cédric Jubillar, temporary in the construction sector, denies any involvement in the disappearance of his wife and filed three appeals in court to demand his release.

    We thought he was depressed, out of shape ... Neymar responded to criticism on the pitch, scoring a sublime goal and distributing two assists in Brazil's resounding 4-1 victory over Uruguay, with a double from Raphinha on Thursday , in Manaus.

    Sunday, the Parisian striker had been transparent against Colombia (0-0), a few hours after the broadcast of a shock interview in which he said that the World-2022 in Qatar would probably be "his last".

    For a player who fears "no longer having the mind to support even more football", the number 10 of the Seleção was sweating the joy of living Thursday night.

Musical info

Stromae is back. Withdrawn from the musical circuit since 2015, the singer, whose last album dates from 2013, unveiled the song "Health" this Friday morning on musical platforms. With this title dedicated to small hands, everyday workers to whom we do not always pay attention, we find the unstoppable style of the Belgian. Echoing the caregivers who were applauded and the “essential” professions that were praised during the pandemic, the Brussels resident also “raises his glass” to the “champions of the worst schedules”, airplane pilots, nurses, truck drivers, hostesses of the air, bakers, fishermen. He pays homage to "insomniacs by profession and to those who have no heart for celebrations" and winks "to young parents lulled by tears", he who has, with his wife Coralie Barbier,a three year old boy.
