The info not to miss

A new government this afternoon.

Who will be the ministers of Elisabeth Borne?

After a period of uncertainty since the appointment of the former Minister of Labor on Monday, the announcement of the composition of the new government will be made in the afternoon, the Elysee Palace said early this morning.

Criticized in particular yesterday by Marine Le Pen, who yesterday deemed this wait "particularly abnormal", Elisabeth Borne justified this delay by the wish to have "the best team".

The first Council of Ministers of the Borne government is scheduled for Monday.

This day also marks a final stretch for the legislative elections next June.

The candidates have indeed until 6 p.m. to submit their candidacy and that of their deputy in the prefecture.

Some had to give it up: after Jérôme Peyrat, short-lived candidate in the Dordogne, it was Thierry Solère who threw in the towel.

Deputy of the 9th district of Hauts-de-Seine since 2012, the one who is also special adviser to Emmanuel Macron, targeted by twelve indictments, will ultimately not seek a third term.

What else to remember

First case of monkeypox in France.

The Directorate General of Health has confirmed that a first patient was suffering from "monkeypox" in Île-de-France.

This 29-year-old man had not traveled "to a country where the virus is circulating", but his condition does not inspire particular concern.

In recent days, several dozen suspected or confirmed cases have been identified in various European countries (United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, etc.) and North America (United States and Canada).

The monkey pox virus (“monkeypox” in English) has been endemic in certain African regions since the end of the 1970s. While epidemics outside Africa have already occurred, such a situation in as many Western countries as the time is “unprecedented” and “unusual”, recognizes the Ministry of Health.

Deadly wave in Finistère.

Three people from the same family tragically died yesterday at the end of the day in Plogoff.

A 55-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman and their 12-year-old child were fishing on a dike in Pors-Loubous, a few kilometers from the Pointe du Raz, when they were suddenly surprised by a blade.

Three other children of the couple, aged 13 to 15 and present at the scene, were taken care of by the medical and psychological services.

Here is what we know about this tragedy.

A first war criminal tried in kyiv.

Life has been demanded for Vadim Chichimarine, the first Russian soldier tried for war crimes in Ukraine.

This young 21-year-old soldier, who has been appearing since Wednesday in kyiv for having opened fire on a 62-year-old civilian riding a bicycle, an embarrassing witness to a car theft, will be fixed on his fate on Monday.

In addition, Moscow announced on Friday that more than 1,900 Ukrainian soldiers from the Azovstal factory in Mariupol had surrendered since the start of the week.

The Kremlin has also indicated that it will deploy new military bases in response to NATO expansion, as Finland and Sweden submitted their applications to join the Alliance earlier in the week.
