Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
“Unimaginable to live in a world without your light”. On Instagram, Étienne Daho was one of the first to react after the sad announcement this Sunday of the death of Jane Birkin at 76. Fan turned confidant, he had worked with her on the album Oh! Pardon tu slept…, in 2020, a particularly intimate opus.
Since then, tributes have succeeded to celebrate the memory of the singer and muse of fashion. Brigitte Bardot, Emmanuel Macron and his Minister of Culture Rima Abdul Malak or even Pierre Richard, ex-partner on the screen, reacted in particular on Sunday.
The northern hemisphere begins a new week in oppressive heat on Monday, with temperatures in Europe expected above 40° in Italy or heatwave alerts in Spain, devastating fires continuing to rage in Canada and California. Up to 48°C are expected at the start of the week in Sardinia, a Mediterranean island to the west of the Italian boot.
North America is not spared, like Asia. Several temperature records could be broken in the United States, while Canada is still hit by large fires, having caused the death of two firefighters. Japan is on alert and facing torrential rains, while in China, the temperature could reach 45°C in some regions.
After Pierre Palmade’s accident and the media coverage of several road accidents in which the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the idea was put forward. Elisabeth Borne will formalize on Monday the creation of a qualification of “road homicide”, but without creating a new offense or increasing the penalties incurred, Matignon said on Sunday.
The implementation of a “road homicide” is a demand of associations fighting against road violence and relatives of victims of road accidents. Currently, the acts of drivers causing the death of a person, even under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, fall within the scope of “manslaughter”.
