Lecornu tries to appease student mobilization with 5,000 additional places

The Prime Minister continues to present his proposals to try to extinguish the anger currently shaking France. While student organizations are demanding 250,000 additional places in universities, the government has announced to add 5,000 in bachelor's degrees. In a letter sent last Monday to university presidents, Sébastien Lecornu confirmed this measure. We will see if this will appease the discontent of the youth who have been expressing themselves every week in the streets for almost two months.

Negotiations appear to be moving forward to end the war in Ukraine

The guns still speak but the hope of diplomatically ending the war in Ukraine is growing. Two-day U.S.-mediated Ukrainian-Russian talks ended in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. And Ukraine saw “good dynamics” there. Volodymyr Zelensky even estimated that there could be a “window of opportunity” to achieve a breakthrough in the negotiations before the end of the year. To accelerate the movement, Donald Trump's emissaries are in Russia this Thursday to dialogue with Vladimir Putin. They must then go to Ireland to meet the Ukrainian president that same day.

Coach Zinédine Zidane hopes that by taking care of his player he will be able to be on the field on Sunday against Turkey in Bordeaux. Fingers crossed.
