“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Monday, March 18, Vladimir Putin must be enjoying his re-election on Sunday, with 87% of the votes at the head of Russia. At 71, and after 24 years in power, he is back for a fifth term. He could even run again in 2030 and stay in power until 2036.

The “Tinder rapist” is on trial from this Monday before the Paris criminal court. This 38-year-old fashion photographer is being prosecuted for the rapes and sexual assaults of 17 women, who came to be photographed at his home, between 2014 and 2016. All describe the same modus operandi and believe they were drugged.

And then it was a successful bet for the comedian Chicandier: the record for the largest raclette in the world was broken on Sunday in Saint-Étienne. 2,236 people gathered to enjoy together a ton of potatoes, 620 kg of cheese and 350 kg of cold meats.
