“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Monday, January 8, 2024, a large part of France is crossed by an episode of cold coming from Siberia. According to Météo France, temperatures will gradually drop more than 10 degrees nationwide. Several departments have activated their “severe cold” plan, making it possible in particular to free up emergency accommodation places for the homeless.

A decisive week opens for the government, after several days of rumors circulating in the ministries about a possible reshuffle and a replacement of Elisabeth Borne as Prime Minister. Sunday evening, Emmanuel Macron received it, officially to “discuss the bad weather in Pas-de-Calais and the arrival of the cold wave”, according to the Elysée.

And then, after the Palme d’Or at the last Cannes festival, the film “Anatomy of a Fall” by French director Justine Triet won the Golden Globes for best foreign language film and best screenplay. “It’s all pretty crazy”, for the producers of the film who reacted on franceinfo.

“What does it say?”, a podcast to listen to from Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. on franceinfo.fr, on the franceinfo WhatsApp channel or on all podcast platforms:
