Was there a tipping point on the part of many? Because depending, of course, what polls you look at, it seems like most of the nation still came down on the side of law and order.

Yes, absolutely.

But that's because I think from a French perspective, that's a hard one to say when you're French.

You have to look at these as two separate phenomenons.

One is the demonstrations, and we're very used to it.

The other one is the looting.

And in a way, it's not extremely indirectly linked to whatever was aired on the streets of Paris.

Le Pen and Mr. Bardella?

Tell us what you can first of all about this attack and what, if anything, we know about the suspect.

What we know so far is that around 10.30 this morning, a man opened fire as he drove through the working class towns of Trappes and La Verrière, which are both southwest of Paris.

He drove around the two towns, shooting at different locations, a playground, a health center, and several vehicles.

He killed one person.

a man named Pengo Bosuwangi, and wounded five, including, as you said, a 12-year-old girl who was shot eight times.

She now is, of course, seriously wounded, but she seems to be in a stable condition and is undergoing surgery as we speak.

What we know so far is that a suspect was very rapidly taken into custody.

I mean, drive-by shootings are not that common and they're certainly not that common in small provincial towns.

Alex, to maybe play a bit of devil's advocate here, but do politicians need to explain in some way, shape or form, be honest about this situation and say, there is simply no money to do a lot of what would like to see done, or do they just have to find a way to take away from other priorities in order to give the students what they want? I wish

they could.

I wish they would and I wish they could.

This basically implies that either we would have politicians who are brave or suicidal enough, I don't know, to plainly speak the truth.

And it would mean also that we would have a public debate that is either based on reason and or the ability for voters to hear that argument.

The reality is that what voters feel is that they're paying a lot of taxes.

and they're not getting their money worth.

Does that help for the French industry?

What's in the papers, please?

Well, the first story I want to cover is a story from Politico, which gained insight on the negotiations on the EU's next long term budget for 2028 to 2034, worth two trillion euros over seven years.

That's the EU's biggest budget in history.

But with many countries in financial trouble, member states are looking for what they call levies.

In other words, EU taxes.

in order to reduce or at least not increase national contributions.

France is apparently currently pushing levies that could generate up to 60 billion euros.

And then along comes artificial intelligence and does the job in a trice.

And how is it going to work? What are the details of it?

Well, there are some very specific conditions should you wish to obtain assisted dying.

First, you have to be of legal age.

You have to be French.

You have to be afflicted by a grave and incurable disease.

You have to feel unbearable pain or to be able to present a case in which treatments do not work.

And you also have to be able to clearly state your will at every step of the process.

And a lot of debate about consent and how that is overseen.

So what was it that you spotted for us?

Right, and we're going to start with some rather grim news.

Yesterday, The Lancet published its 2026 Europe countdown on health and climate change, and the findings are rather grim.

According to the report, 99.6% of monitored European regions have seen an increase in heat attributable death over the past decade, reaching an estimated 62,000 in 2024.

Extreme heat warnings have increased by 318% from one annual daily extreme warning in 1991 to 4.3 in the time between 2015 and 2024.

The report also states that despite ongoing efforts to decarbonize, European fossil fuel subsidies reached €444 billion in 2023 alone.

That's more than triple the 2016 levels when the Paris Agreement were adopted and countries committed to limited global warming, or as we call it, the good old days.

AI is obviously doing enormous changes, enacting enormous changes to business, but it is now impacting our social lives as well.
