A heat wave could complicate the management of the coronavirus pandemic

According to a summary from the French public health agency (SpF), Covid-19 and heatwaves can pose a problem in the event of concomitant management. Agnès Verrier, in charge of environmental health expertise at SpF, gives examples of “contradictory injunctions”: during a heat wave, we recommend closing windows and shutters during the day and strengthening the social link, quite the opposite for the Covid where it is necessary to ventilate as much as possible and to respect physical distancing. Consequently, the prevention of the two risks will have to be “adapted” by the executive.

The state promises several billion euros to SNCF

Faced with a serious shortfall in particular due to the health crisis, the SNCF will be supported. The State will help the company "to the tune of several billion euros", says the Minister for Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari in an interview with Le Figarodated this Thursday. "Several options are on the table: the recapitalization of the group or the recovery of an additional part of the debt, for example", explains the minister. However, the arbitrations have not yet been rendered.

Accused of harassment, skater Morgan Ciprès released by his federation

The French skater Morgan Ciprès, suspected of having sent obscene photos to a minor at the end of 2017, was released by the disciplinary commission of the French Federation of Ice Sports (FFSG) which will not appeal. In its decision issued Tuesday, the FFSG indicates that "has not been brought [to its] attention [...] either complaint of the alleged victim or element likely to establish the existence of criminal proceedings". In addition, it "does not appear in the file any objective element (photographs, messages, letter ...) likely to establish proof of the alleged offense".

Thus, a "conviction decision could not emerge from press clippings alone and from the letter from an American lawyer addressed to the FFSG inviting it to contact its insurer", adds the commission, for whom "the materiality of the facts prosecuted "Is" not established in evidence ". The skater can therefore breathe.
