Fires in Los Angeles, Bayrou government, Covid-19… Franceinfo news from Saturday January 11, 2025

Every day, those in the know debate the news surrounding Renaud Blanc.

The themes:

Terrible fires have killed at least 11 people in Los Angeles, California in the United States. More than 15,000 hectares have already gone up in smoke. Is this the symbol of our inability to act in the face of climate change? Is the climate issue sufficiently taken into account by politicians?

The United States is also in the news, less than ten days before the inauguration of Donald Trump. Very close to Elon Musk, the boss of X, who worries the most among these two men?

In France, François Bayrou’s general policy speech is expected on Tuesday January 14. Will he still be Prime Minister in a week? Can he call into question the pension reform? And finally, exactly five years ago, China announced the death of a first Covid-19 patient. What to remember from this period? What has changed since then?
