• Russia rejects the accusations of the Polish Prime Minister, who accuses Moscow of being the sponsor of the migration crisis on the border between Poland and Belarus.

The man taken into police custody Monday evening after the disappearance of the 17-year-old jogger in Mayenne, found alive, was exonerated, announced the Laval prosecutor.

• The first draft resolution of COP26 encourages countries to revise upwards their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 2022, ie three years before the date provided for in the Paris agreement.

• The health pass for people over 65 will be deactivated, in the absence of a booster dose, “6 months and 5 weeks” after the previous injection, from December 15, said government spokesman Gabriel Attal.

• François Hollande is expected at the trial of the November 13 attacks, where he was cited as a witness by an association of victims. You can follow his testimony in our direct.

09:31 : On several occasions, the president of the court, Jean-Louis Périès, tried to reframe the debates. On the side of defense lawyers, Martin Méchin, skeptical of the relevance of hearing François Hollande, recalls that it is above all about the “trial of the accused” and fears a “misuse of the criminal trial”.

09:31 : “The idea is not to have another trial than that of the terrorists but, at the same time, to determine very clearly the reasons why we can come to this.”

Since the opening of the trial, questions around the supposed responsibilities of the State and its services have been part of the debates. Starting with questions about the monitoring of terrorists, but also about the prevention of attacks.

09:29 : “The victims are waiting for answers.” At the trial of the November 13 attacks, the civil parties hope for explanations from the defendants, but sometimes also from that of the political leaders in office at the time. It is therefore “with interest” that some will follow this afternoon the hearing of the former President of the Republic, François Hollande.
