New act of violence in the Marseille city. Two men were shot dead and a third injured this Thursday evening in a shooting in working-class neighborhoods in the north of Marseille, AFP learned from firefighters and police sources. The facts occurred on the public highway around 7:40 p.m. in the Chutes-Lavie district, in the 4th arrondissement of Marseille, according to these sources.

One of the two victims died instantly while the second died “20 to 30 minutes after the first,” one of the police sources told AFP. “The perpetrator, armed with a long weapon, fled” in a vehicle. A burned car was found a little later in a park, not far from the scene of the shooting, added the police source, adding that we could not know at this stage if it was that of the perpetrator(s). shootings.

The leaders of the nine Mediterranean countries of the European Union meet on Friday in Malta to agree their positions, in particular on immigration, on the strength of an unexpected but growing understanding between Emmanuel Macron and Giorgia Meloni and the day after an agreement to Brussels.

The French president, who claims to be progressive and pro-European, and the Italian Prime Minister, at the head of a post-fascist party and elected a year ago on a program with nationalist overtones, spoke at length on Tuesday in Rome against the backdrop of of a new migration crisis caused by a record influx on the Italian island of Lampedusa. “There is a shared vision of the management of the migration issue between France and Italy,” it was estimated in Paris.

Stop igniting. After the dissemination of contradictory information in recent days concerning Antoine Dupont, and in particular a rather surprising optimism on the part of William Servat on Tuesday, the health manager of the XV of France Bruno Boussagol came to reestablish some facts this Thursday. The new watchword: we are not moving forward on anything. Concerning the presence of the captain of the Blues for a possible quarter-final, the doctor assured that the question “did not arise today”.

“There are so many things to validate before we just plan on his return to the group,” he added. Generally speaking, all remaining steps between now and Dupont’s presence on the field for a rugby match must first be validated by Doctor Lauwers. They will then be discussed within the specially created “Dupont cell”, with the player, his family, Fabien Galthié, the Blues medical staff and his Toulouse club.
