“Hi it’s Sarah, what does it say?”

This Tuesday, May 28, senators will examine a Republican bill on support for transgender minors. The text, amended in committee, plans to ban hormonal treatments and gender reassignment surgeries. Puberty blockers can be prescribed but within dedicated centers, after two years of follow-up by several doctors. Left-wing senators and associations denounce a transphobic and dangerous law, which would make France the worst European country in terms of legislation on this subject. For the rights defender, this text could be a threat to the rights of children.

France, soon a narco-state? “We are not there”, replies the Paris public prosecutor, Laure Beccuau, after the visit of Mexican magistrates. They call on France to take emergency measures to avoid finding itself in a few years in the same situation as Mexico, where violence linked to drug cartels has caused more than 450,000 deaths in 20 years.

The “Foot2rue” team, which represents France at the Kings World Cup, and its coach, the streamer AmineMaTué, beat Spain this Monday evening after a comeback and a penalty shootout. This competition, imagined by former Spanish international Gérard Piqué, started on Sunday May 26 in Mexico. She wants to revolutionize football with new rules: teams of 7 players, 40-minute matches broadcast on Twitch and the M6 ​​plus platform and “double counting” goals in the last minutes. France’s next match: Wednesday May 30.
