Sport. Fabien Galthié’s Blues continue their progress in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The French XV will meet this Thursday evening with Namibia for their third match of the World Cup, which began on September 8 with a bang with a first victory in the opening match against New Zealand. A meeting refereed by the Englishman Matthew Carley, which will take place in Marseille, at the Vélodrome stadium.
Visit of Charles III. For the second day of his stay in France, King Charles III will have a lot to do this Thursday. Expected at the flower market on the arm of his wife Camilla, the sovereign will be at the Senate from 10 a.m. for a guided tour, before heading to the Rugby village and the basilica of Saint-Denis at 12 p.m. with his wife, in the presence of Brigitte Macron. The president’s wife and the queen consort will interact with volunteers and beneficiaries of the “La Maison des Femmes” association, before visiting the 19M workshops. The day will end at 7 p.m. with an informal meeting between President Macron and King Charles III at the Élysée Palace.
Transports. For RATP users, this Thursday marks the end of the sale of cardboard t+ ticket books at all machines and counters in the Régie network. Alternative solutions, more modern and “economical” – dematerialized – such as contactless t+ tickets, or bus tickets by SMS, are already offered by the company on its website. A page turns.
International. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be in Washington from 3 p.m. for an official visit, which will complete the ties maintained by the two countries on the sidelines of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The head of state and his American counterpart Joe Biden agreed on Tuesday at the UN, denouncing Moscow’s actions in its offensive in Ukraine for more than a year. Volodymyr Zelensky then accused Russia of “genocide”, responsible for the deportation of thousands of Ukrainian children.
