We hope you were able to enjoy your weekend.

We spent these two days checking the news.

And it's time to sum it all up.

1. The Blues easily dismiss Poland


All that remains is to wait comfortably installed for the name of the future adversary (it will be next Saturday, 4 p.m.).

The France team honored its status as favorite by dismissing Poland in the round of 16 of the World Cup this Sunday, with even greater ease than the score indicates.

Carried by a gala Kylian Mbappé (two goals, an assist), the Blues largely dominated the start of the match, but only made the difference at the end of the first period thanks to Olivier Giroud, his 52nd , new record.

The second period was a recital, with an outrageous domination punctuated by a double from Kyky the star.

You can reread all this in our live of course.

The President of the Republic sweeps away several important subjects of his second five-year term, including pension reform.

The President also said he wanted to increase the minimum pension and improve the lowest pensions.

On future power cuts, he wanted to be reassuring, urging the French not to "give in to panic".

On Friday, this same attorney general had already announced that the law on the compulsory wearing of the veil could be modified soon, without indicating whether this change would go in the direction of a relaxation or a hardening.
