Pension reform: “We finally hear the right”… In the midst of a social conflict, the Republicans are trying to get their heads out of the water
The end of hibernation? Since the election of Emmanuel Macron, the right has struggled to be heard. The Republicans have struggled to stand out from the policy led by the executive, who can only note the flight of their electorate to The Republic on the move. Until the pension reform? Inaudible during the movement of "yellow vests", the right hopes this time to take advantage of the stagnation of social conflict and the mistakes of the majority.
Cannes Film Festival: Spike Lee, flagship filmmaker of the black cause, appointed president of the jury
Twenty-four hours after Oscar nominations criticized for their lack of diversity, the Cannes Film Festival struck hard by appointing the American director Spike Lee as the next president of the jury and the first black to hold this position. If the largest film festival in the world has already welcomed black American artists such as the filmmaker Ava DuVernay in 2018 and the actor Will Smith in 2017, it is a first for its president. "The look of Spike Lee is more precious than ever," say Pierre Lescure, the president of the festival, and Thierry Frémaux, the general delegate, in a press release.
Children who watch a screen in the morning are three times more likely to develop language problems
In recent years, the debate has raged on the screens. Some doctors warn about the harmful effects, on the health and learning of the little ones, of these ubiquitous and very practical objects (often used as free babysitters). The World Health Organization published a press release in April 2019 recommending that all screens should be avoided for children aged 1 year, and to limit them for older children. And if for some, it seems obvious that they nibble on the brains of children, for others, nothing is yet scientifically proven. This is why the study published this Tuesday by Santé Publique France could interest more than one parent. In fact, she examines the links between exposure to screens and language disorders.
