En ce dimanche 11 juin, 55 000 fans se bousculent à l’entrée du stade Orange Vélodrome, à Marseille, pour voir et entendre la chanteuse Beyoncé délivrer un show d’anthologie, sous une pluie de paillettes et de décibels.Les places ont été d’autant plus disputées que l’idole américaine n’avait programmé que deux dates en France. Il fallait donc beaucoup de persévérance et un soupçon de chance pour espérer assister à l’événement. Ou alors bénéficier d’invitations tous frais payés. A l’époque députée Renaissance, la secrétaire d’Etat chargée de la Ville Sabrina Agresti-Roubache a pu y assister grâce à cinq invitations : trois offertes par Engie et deux par Orange, pour une valeur totale d’un peu plus de 2 000 euros, comme a pu le constater POLITICO sur le site de l’Assemblée nationale.Interrogé sur ces invitations, son cabinet a répondu que Sabrina Agresti-Roubache “était invitée, avec d’autres parlementaires,...

We can expect that it’s going to be around for the indefinite future. The good thing is we have a lot of tools, much better tools to fight it,” said Dr. Abisola Olulade, Family Medicine and Chief Impact Officer at Sharp Rees-Stealy.A subvariant referred to as “Eris” remains the dominant strain nationwide and in San Diego.

Car bomb explosions and hostage-taking inside prisons underscore Ecuador’s fragile security

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:41:32 GMT

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador’s fragile security situation was underscored Thursday by a series of car bombings and the hostage-taking of more than 50 law enforcement officers inside various prisons, just weeks after the country was shaken by the assassination of a presidential candidate.Ecuador’s National Police reported no injuries resulting from the four explosions in Quito, the capital, and in a province that borders Peru, while Interior Minister Juan Zapata said none of the law enforcement officers taken hostage in six different prisons had been injured.Authorities said the brazen actions were the response of criminal groups to the relocation of various inmates and other measures taken by the country’s corrections system. The crimes happened three weeks after the slaying of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio. The corrections system, known as the National Service for Attention to Persons Deprived of Liberty, in recent years lost control of large prisons, w...
