“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Tuesday, February 13, Les Républicains MP Antoine Vermorel-Marques tabled a bill to “bring fast fashion out of fashion”. He wants to introduce a tax of five euros for each item of clothing purchased on sites that offer more than 1,000 products per day such as the Chinese giant Shein.

According to French health authorities, nearly 30,000 men will have had a vasectomy in 2022. This is 15 times more than in 2010 for this definitive method of male contraception which consists of cutting channels to prevent the escape of sperm. At the same time, the sterilization of women has been halved in 10 years.

And then Frenchman Victor Wembanyama became the fourth debutant in NBA history to achieve a triple-double on the night of Monday to Tuesday. This rare achievement involves collecting more than 10 units in three stats. “Wemby” scored 27 points, 14 rebounds and above all 10 blocks which greatly helped the San Antonio Spurs crush the Toronto Raptors (122 to 99).
