“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Wednesday, April 17, Paris Saint-Germain woke up in the semi-final of the Champions League. After losing (2-3) against Barcelona in the quarter-final first leg at home, the Parisians went on to beat the Catalans (4-1) at home. They will therefore face Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final, on April 30 and May 7.

Just 100 days before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, 250,000 tickets are going on sale this Wednesday at 10 a.m. The NGO Carbon Market Watch also chooses this moment to call for a radical reform of the organization of the Olympic Games, in several cities around the world and reserved for local populations.

And while “80% of police activity is devoted to the fight against drug trafficking”, the mayor of Amsterdam wants to decriminalize certain hard drugs. It is inspired by an experiment carried out in Canada where the police no longer arrest consumers but inform them about certain treatments and care.
