“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”
This Tuesday, September 19, “it looks like it’s war”, reacts a resident of La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis) upon discovering the gendarmerie armored vehicles deployed in front of his police station. The police force is reinforced after the attack on the building with fireworks mortars, Sunday evening and five days after the death of a young person from the neighborhood in a collision with a police car.
Up to 62.3°C was felt on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, a new record. The actual temperature displayed reached 42°C in this Brazilian city. An extreme phenomenon attributed to climate change and the El Niño phenomenon which affects Latin America.
And then the former socialist minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem proposes to ration inter for ecological concerns as well as to fight against fake news and cyberharassment. “If we know that we only have three gigabytes to use in a week, we are probably not going to spend them posting hateful comments or creating fakes,” she believes.
