The info to remember
The speech sounded like a campaign speech.
In front of 19 million viewers Tuesday evening, Emmanuel Macron confirmed the need, for the oldest part of the population, to obtain a booster dose of the vaccine against Covid-19.
But the epidemic was not his only subject: the president also mentioned, in the background, some projects for the post-2022.
"We are not done with the pandemic," thundered the President of the Republic.
From December 15, he announced, those over 65 will need a booster dose to keep their precious sesame.
In addition, the recall campaign will be open to 50-64 year olds from the beginning of December.

Beyond the epidemic, the Head of State took advantage of his speech to detail his roadmap at the end of his five-year term.
He said in particular that "the conditions" were "not met" to relaunch the work of pension reform, which he postponed until 2022, in other words, probably to another five-year term.
Emmanuel Macron recalled his ambition to "aim for full employment", after welcoming the drop in unemployment.
"Job seekers who do not demonstrate active research will see their benefits suspended," he warned, however.
On energy, he announced the construction of new nuclear reactors, two weeks after the report of the operator of the RTE electricity network which recommends the construction of EPR type reactors.

The unexpected info
He defends himself against a crocodile using a pocket knife.
In Australia, a 60-year-old man who came to fish on a shore near Hope Vale (Queensland) was seized in the legs by a crocodile last week.
As the animal, which held him by the jaw, dragged him into a river, "he managed to retrieve his knife from his belt and stabbed the crocodile in the head until he let go", says Matt Brien of the Queensland State Department of the Environment.
Freed from the yoke of the crocodile, the fisherman managed to go up the shore and went to a nearby hospital.
The man is still recovering, but his condition is now "stable", according to local authorities.
