“Hi, it’s Sarah! What does it say?”

This Tuesday, August 13, the flames continue to approach the Greek capital Athens. The fires have already ravaged 40,000 hectares and caused one death. Greece has asked the European Union for help, 180 French firefighters will be sent and with them 55 trucks and a helicopter.

Since August 6, the Ukrainian army has been conducting an unprecedented offensive on Russian soil. Its goal: to extend and disperse the front to weaken the Russian forces, hoping to be in a position of strength in the event of negotiations for a ceasefire.

And then, like in July, every Tuesday and Friday, find “Ça dit quoi cet été”, in collaboration with the association Chemins d’avenirs. To start this new session, Jean-Marie, who did not get his vocational baccalaureate, takes stock of his search for training, with the help of the Local Mission.

“Ça dit quoi?”, a podcast to listen to from Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. on franceinfo.fr, on the franceinfo WhatsApp channel, on TikTok or on all podcast platforms:
