Coronavirus: Launch of massive screenings in Le Havre and Charleville-Mézières this Monday

The inhabitants of the conurbations of Le Havre and Charleville-Mézières will be able to go to be tested near their homes on Monday.

Two massive Covid-19 screening campaigns begin this Monday, a new attempt to curb the epidemic before the end of the year holidays.

While the French will once again be able to circulate without a certificate throughout the country, the number of cases of contamination remains far from the objectives of the executive.

At the end of October, President Emmanuel Macron wanted to go “eventually” down to 5,000 contaminations per day.

However, the daily average over the past week is 12,000.

11,533 additional cases were recorded between Saturday and Sunday, according to Public Health France, which reports 150 deaths in the last 24 hours.

John Le Carré, British master of spy novel, has died

World literature is in mourning and with it the world of spies.

The British master of spy novel John Le Carré has died at the age of 89.

"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that David Cornwell - John le Carré - died of pneumonia on Saturday evening after a short battle with the disease," his family confirmed.

John Le Carré had achieved international success after the publication of his third novel,

The Spy Who Came From the Cold

(1964), which he wrote at the age of 30, "eaten up by boredom" that his activities as a diplomat at the British Embassy Bonn in Germany provided him.

The novel, which has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide, tells the story of Alec Leamas, a British double agent, who moved to East Germany.

OL 0-1 success against PSG

PSG are no longer leaders of L1.

On this 14th day of Ligue 1, OL met PSG on Sunday at the Parc des Princes.

Led by the score, Paris lost 1-0 to a more efficient opponent.

Garcia and Tuchel followed the same tactical pattern by placing their players in 4-3-3 to start the confrontation.

The meeting was not rich in goals.

The only achievement came from a pass from Toko Ekambi to the 35th by Kadewere.

With three games left, PSG is on the podium, but in the worst place, and again because OM are still two games behind the pack.

And to further tarnish this evening for the capital club, Neymar came out in tears on a stretcher after a big tackle from Thiago Mendes in stoppage time.
