Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.
While France mourns Professor Dominique Bernard, killed Friday in Arras in a knife attack, Belgium is also hit again by terrorism. Two people of Swedish nationality were killed and a third victim injured, Monday evening in Brussels, by an armed man who fled on a scooter, a “cowardly attack” according to Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. Emmanuel Macron, for his part, spoke of an “Islamist terrorist attack” after an evening where the Belgian capital experienced anxiety and confusion, notably with the confinement of 35,000 Belgian and Swedish supporters in the King Baudouin stadium. According to Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne, “the suspect is a 45-year-old Tunisian who requested asylum in our country in November 2019.” “He was known to the police for suspicious acts: human trafficking, illegal residence and endangering state security.”
The youngest will also have the right to their injection. The annual flu vaccination campaign starts this Tuesday in France, with something new compared to previous years: opening to all children over the age of two. It will take place until January 31, 2024 and “will be carried out in conjunction with the vaccination campaign against Covid-19”, announces Health Insurance. On the other hand, the vaccine will only be reimbursed two-thirds for children, unlike the other groups usually targeted, in particular all those over 65, for whom it is free.
From Washington to Beijing, via Brussels, Paris, Ankara and even Moscow, the risk of a generalized embrace of the Middle East is worrying. And the latest message from Tehran does not move in the direction of appeasement. Iran warned on Monday of possible “preventive action” against Israel “in the coming hours”, as the Israeli army prepares to launch a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip in its war against Hamas . This threat, however, is not a surprise. Tehran has repeatedly warned that a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip would provoke a response on other fronts. Iran also applauded Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, while specifying that it was not involved in it.
