Front page news of the return to containment in Melbourne, Australia, due to a further increase in Covid-19 cases.

In force from midnight tonight, this new containment order concerns more than 5 million inhabitants, according to The Herald Sun , which specifies that the police and the army will be mobilized at crossing points to neighboring states, to enforce this "six-week sentence" of confinement, during which residents can only leave their homes to go shopping, for medical reasons, to go to work or study, if they cannot do it remotely. A return to the "Covid cage", because the State of Victoria, which has identified 191 new cases in a single day, risks plunging into something very very bad, "according to the local executive, quoted by The Daily Telegraph .

The Covid-19 epidemic is accelerating worldwide, and the World Health Organization is warning that the peak has not yet been reached. "The virus is still running," recalls La Croix , who wonders if the resumption of tourism in Europe risks spreading the epidemic on the continent, where several areas have also had to be reconfigured: the Catalan city of Lerida, 14 localities in Galicia, Spain, two cantons in western Germany and certain districts in Lisbon, the Portuguese capital. In an interview with Le Figaro , the Director General of Health warns that the French must "prepare for a second wave" of the epidemic. According to Jérôme Salomon, who calls for “prudence, vigilance, and common sense, by keeping good reflexes”, it would be above all “our behaviors that condition the risk” of a revival of Covid-19.

France is in any case already experiencing the second wave… of criticism of the new government led by Jean Castex. Welcomed on the whole with circumspection, the new executive raises a whole series of questions, starting with the choice of strong personalities such as Roselyne Bachelot, at Culture, or Eric Dupont-Moretti, at Justice - "big mouths who have already taken all the light, to the point of making people forget that ecology is one of the priorities of the end of the five-year term, "regrets L'Opinion - dissatisfied with this" pipolization "of political life. Le Figaro , for his part, reports on the "blues" of the macronists, whose virtual disappearance within this government "gives the feeling of a turn to the right, which troubles the majority". The appointment of several relatives of former President Nicolas Sarkozy "causes a stir" within The Republic on the move, confirms Today in France , which finds "that there is still ... a little family resemblance" between Emmanuel Macron and his predecessor. Nicolas Sarkozy, who "knows that transfers (of personalities from LR) weaken his historic camp a little more", without "it does not seem to bother him," notes the newspaper.

They are very disturbed by the appointments of Eric Dupont-Moretti to Justice and Gérald Darmanin to the Interior: feminists are already standing against this new government. “One is a customary rant against the judiciary and a metoo slayer. The other is the subject of an investigation for rape ":" it's a male party, "jokes Liberation , which evokes" a government whistled by women "- an allusion to the declaration of the new Keeper of the Seals, fact that some women would regret "not being whistled" on the street.

We do not leave each other on it. Before I tell you very quickly, I suggest you throw an eyelash at the Guardian , which had the good idea to identify some of the recipes tested by its readers during confinement. If some are true virtuosos of the stove, others, on the other hand, have a little more trouble, it seems, like the author of a misshapen ball, a monstrosity supposed to be a homemade sandwich bread. And what about the one who made a cake, nicely covered with multicolored vermicelli and buttercream resembling to be mistaken for vomit - the work of a certain Natalie, who also admitted having made the scones, an English pastry round, "the thinnest we've ever seen" ...
