Did you miss the news this morning? We’ve put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.
Only a few hours left and the Olympic flame will be in France. The precious symbol will in fact be in Marseille this Wednesday, after 12 days of travel from Greece aboard a legendary three-masted ship: the Belem. The flame will see the silhouette of the Good Mother as soon as it arrives in the northern harbor around 11 a.m. Before leisurely heading towards the Old Port for the end of the afternoon, after having paraded for a good part of the day. This is where she will be welcomed by the group of OM supporters, the South Winners, of which 2,000 members have created tifos for the occasion. Florent Manaudou will be the first wearer of this Olympic symbol on French soil. It will then sparkle until its arrival in Paris on July 26 for the lighting of the cauldron during the opening ceremony.
The road continues to clear for Donald Trump towards the US presidential election in November. A federal court in Florida on Tuesday postponed indefinitely the start of the criminal trial of the former tenant of the White House in the case where he is accused of having made negligent use of classified documents. In this criminal case, one of four in which he is targeted, a trial was to open on May 20. But the federal judge considered this date untenable due to the number of preliminary requests presented to the court. Aileen Cannon, a magistrate appointed by the former president, has not set a new date. This decision makes it very unlikely that a trial will be held in this case before the November election.
It’s a very big disappointment for PSG. The capital club is in fact eliminated from the Champions League after its defeat in the semi-final return, Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes (0-1). The disappointment is all the greater as Borussia Dortmund was a team within his reach. But if the Parisians were again unlucky, with four amounts affected in this return match, they above all gave the impression of not having been able to fully grasp, as in the first match, the measure of the event.
