Fire in New York, Macron in Nice on security and weather alert in the Southwest

Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.

The record is terrible. At least 19 people, including nine children, died on Sunday and around 60 were injured in the terrible accidental fire at a building in the Bronx, New York. Victims were found “on each floor” of this building which has 19, the smoke rising to the top of the building. The fire started because of a booster heater in a duplex apartment on the 2nd and 3rd floors, according to firefighters. Arrived very quickly on the spot at the beginning of the afternoon, the new mayor of New York, Eric Adams, deplored “one of the worst fires” in the recent history of the megalopolis of nine million inhabitants.

Unsurprisingly, Eric Ciotti will not roll out the red carpet to Emmanuel Macron, visiting Nice on Monday on the subject of security. The LR deputy from the Alpes-Maritimes and lieutenant of Valérie Pécresse even takes advantage of this presidential trip to his constituency, which he will boycott, to accuse, in Le Figaro, the Head of State to “leave the French a France Clockwork Orange “. Criticizing “a safe Waterloo” when discussing the president’s record, Eric Ciotti also does not forget to tackle his best enemy Christian Estrosi, mayor of Nice, described as “Macron’s first zealot”.

From the sky side, the situation is not improving in the Pyrenees. Météo-France has even raised the level of its alerts in the South-West. After the passage of Pyrénées-Atlantiques and Landes in red for flood risks, the public establishment placed the Hautes-Pyrénées, Haute-Garonne, Ariège and Pyrénées-Atlantiques on Sunday evening in maximum vigilance rain-flood . In other departments, you will also have to be careful: the Gers, the North and the Aisne are on orange alert for the risk of flooding, and the Pyrénées-Orientales are also in orange for avalanches, just like Andorra.
