France — This colorful French port town exudes Mediterranean charm and chaotic energy is often overlooked and misunderstood by French and foreign tourists alike Filmmaker and Marseille native Vérane Frédiani is looking to change that She wants you to discover her hometown by following your stomach and she’s written a cookbook to help you do it Frédiani leads readers through the ancient city’s diverse neighborhoods and layers of history to discover Marseille’s recipes and culinary traditions The beautifully photographed book of recipes and rich storytelling serves equally as a guide to the city, which might explain why publisher La Martinière says the book has been one of its bestsellers Through conversations with chefs and anecdotes from her own childhood Frédiani serves up a multicultural city brimming with energy ideas and talented chefs who she says are revolutionizing French cuisine Frédiani's laugh and joie de vivre are infectious as she converses with NPR at an outdoor cafe in the bustling Nouailles district outdoor markets trade in vegetables and spices more often seen in Africa and Asia but increasingly used in restaurants across this port town Frédiani says her book celebrates Marseille’s diversity I always heard people saying ‘Marseille is not France,’ ” she says “And I didn’t understand what they meant by this Now she knows that the city’s multicultural DNA is also its allure Marseille has been a melting pot of cultures since it was founded by the Greeks 2,500 years ago Frédiani's own family has roots in Italy and Tunisia She says Marseille is different from other French towns “You don’t have to be in Marseille for generations to call yourself a Marseillais,” she explains Everybody is Marseillais within five minutes The moment you arrive here and you like it here One of the chefs profiled in her book is Hugues Mbenda a 35-year-old French Congolese chef who opened his restaurant in Marseille five years ago The restaurant is known by two names — and identities: Libala by day Mbenda worked in Michelin-star establishments in Paris and London the key to cooking is mastering the basics blanquette of veal,” he says going through the classic dishes you’ve got to learn by heart Mbenda marries French dishes with African flavors Chilis and mango sauce on a traditional cut of French beef A bit of baobab mixed into a creamy Hollandaise sauce “But it’s also like a small city because people talk together Mbenda’s is just one of many wonderful chef stories in Frédiani’s cookbook which adds tips designed for non-French speakers was translated by American food writer Alexis Steinman Steinman admits that Marseille can be hard to understand “You can’t visit it with a checklist of monuments who said Marseille is not a city of sights — it’s a site within itself,” Steinman explains Steinman says she was amazed by Frédiani’s book neighborhoods and ingredients that make this chaotic and colorful Mediterranean port tick She knew there had to be an English translation “I never translated anything before,” Steinman says “but this really felt like a passion project and we wanted to share it with the world Because Marseille has been under wraps for so long.” Marseille will host Olympic sailing and soccer during the 2024 Summer Games the city put on a spectacular ceremony to welcome the Olympic flame that arrived in France from Greece crossing the Mediterranean on a three-masted sailing ship If there is one dish for which this Mediterranean port is known this stew of leftover fish parts and vegetables was traditionally a poor man‘s dish though today it’s become a luxury in Marseille’s old port restaurants Frédiani says most Marseillais don't eat their bouillabaisse out “Marseille today is basically still a poor city,” she says “And we don’t want to pretend to be something else.” Iconic U.S. chef of French cuisine, Julia Child, prepared bouillabaisse for an episode of The French Chef She affectionately described the stew as having part of Marseille itself cooked right into it “You can somehow just taste the flavor and the color and the excitement of that old port,” Child said in a video from the 1970s she haggles with fishmongers in the city’s fish market plunging herself into the Marseillais food culture Child described “Marseille’s hot noise as so different from Paris’ cool sophistication.” Steinman says Child exemplified how Marseille opens itself up to foreigners who take an interest in the city she serves a soup made from Mediterranean green crabs and a dish of roasted leeks with a crumble of crushed dried shrimp shells Dijon cooked with her father and fished with her mother — catching the same green crabs in her soup of the day She studied law in university before abruptly changing career paths to realize her dream Dijon believes that this is Marseille’s culinary and cultural moment “There is a spirit of openness and freedom,” she says anytime — gastronomically and otherwise — it’s inside us Dijon cooks with top-quality local products and is committed to limiting food waste; she says she throws nothing away “It’s sort of a mix of Italian and Spanish but it has that French style and that French rigueur that I find really interesting,” he gushes Couscous restaurant La Fémina opened its doors in the heart of Marseille’s Nouailles district 121 years ago Mustapha Kachetel is the restaurant’s fourth-generation owner Pictures line the walls of this colorfully decorated restaurant opened by his great-great-grandfather in 1921, including one of Kachetel with the late U.S. chef and food travel TV host Anthony Bourdain, who ate at La Fémina Kachetel says Bourdain loved the barley couscous which is emblematic of the Kabylie region of northern Algeria Frédiani says couscous is as much a favorite here as bouillabaisse — perhaps even more so Every September Marseille holds a couscous festival and hundreds of long tables are set up in the street Tell Americans it’s a great time to visit.” Frédiani says the people of Marseille are eager to tell you about their food and their city Become an NPR sponsor Women’s and Mixed Dinghies will have been watching the windsurfing and skiff competition racing from the early days of the Olympic Regatta They’ve been getting in their final training sessions on the water and pushing their boats through the registration and measurement process in readiness for their first day of racing The Men’s and Women’s Dinghies start on Thursday 1 August and Mixed Dinghy on Friday 2 August Here’s a rundown of what to expect from the next three events on the Olympic Sailing roster meaning that the sailors need to bring little more than their own wetsuit buoyancy aid and hiking boots to go racing this has been Olympic equipment since the Beijing 2008 Games As reigning Olympic and World Champion and Denmark’s flag bearer at the Paris Opening Ceremony Anne-Marie Rindom starts as favourite in the Women’s Dinghy However the Dane knows that fierce competition will come from many quarters not least from Emma Plasschaert of Belgium and Marit Bouwmeester of The Netherlands gold and bronze at the past three Games and now aged 34 as well as the mother of two-year-old Jessie she is looking for a fourth to add to the collection Plasschaert is a two-time World Champion and finished fourth at Tokyo 2020 so the Belgian will be massively motivated to reach the Paris podium while others to keep an eye on include Switzerland’s Maud Jayet Norway’s Line Flem Hoest and 2023 World Champion Maria Erdi from Hungary This is the same supplied equipment as used by the women except that the ILCA 7 has a taller mast and larger sail for the Men’s Dinghy this has been Olympic equipment since the Atlanta 1996 Games Matt Wearn has been the pre-eminent athlete in the Men’s Dinghy over the past number of years Australia has dominated this event over the past decade or more starting with Tom Slingsby’s gold at London 2012 followed by Tom Burton’s gold at Rio 2016 and then Wearn doing it again for fans downunder with his victory at Tokyo 2020 Wearn had a terrible first day in Tokyo after some equipment failure but proved so dominant in the latter stages of the 2020 Games that he secured gold before the Medal Race He still starts as favourite but Great Britain’s Micky Beckett – who was working on the TV last time after missing selection – has closed the gap on the Australian There are some tight training groups who have all been working together to raise each other’s game has been working closely with xx World Champion from Germany At London 2012 Pavlos Kontides won the first and only ever medal for Cyprus in any Olympic sport and has remained at the top of his game ever since There are so many other potential medallists in this strong fleet of 40 entries among them Italy’s Lorenzo Chiavarini and New Zealand’s Thomas Saunders The 470 has been in the Games since Montreal 1976 Half a century ago it was considered high performance equipment but such is progress it’s now one of the slower craft in the Olympic programme However it’s a great boat for any breeze from 4 to 40 knots and probably the most adaptable across the range of wind and wave conditions It’s also highly tactical and rewards a huge range of skills Since the 470 shifted from Men’s and Women’s Doublehanders after the Tokyo Games to the new setup of women and men sailing together in the Mixed Dinghy It has taken a while for mixed teams to get established but the strongest and most consistent duo of recent seasons are Spain’s Jordi Xammar and Nora Brugman Xammar took bronze at Tokyo in the Men’s Doublehander and with Brugman this partnership has won the World and European titles in early 2024 Double Olympic bronze medallist Camille Lecointre with Jeremie Mion (FRA) look very strong for a podium performance on home waters and last year’s dominant victory at the World Championship marks out Japan’s Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka as a strong bet for a top three performance After coming through an incredibly competitive national trial Germany’s Simon Diesch and Anna Markfort have learned a lot about dealing with pressure If the wind blows the Germans will be one of the fastest on the race track Almost 50 years ago at the Montreal Games of 1976 brothers Jörg and Eckart Diesch

France's drug trafficking market currently rakes in €3 billion a year. A drug dealing spot can generate anywhere between €25 and €90,000 in a single day, while five to 10 drug dealing points are dismantled daily in Marseille alone. Last year, French authorities seized 7 tonnes of cannabis, €21 million in criminal assets and 107 assault rifles in the region around France’s second-largest city.

My dad goes to this famous bakery, Boulangerie du Griffoul (89 Rue du Lavoir to get the best bread made with local ancient grains We usually have toast with salted butter and jam that my dad makes from fruit from the garden Because my husband is American and loves French food, especially French cheeses, we go to the food co-op Le Luberon Paysan (176 Bd Saint-Roch, 84240 La Tour-d’Aigues), which sells local organic and raw goat and sheep cheeses.

Maybe Farid knows all the journalists in this town are incompetent: Throughout the series we’ve watched countless nonsensical conversations between a hive-mind press scrum and a politician who directs their coverage through the mere power of suggestion All of this happens as Alexandre Desplat’s shrieking plunking score brings our collective transcontinental migraine to new heights — perhaps listening to that score on repeat is what drives Barres to his debate-prep hissy fit a conversation between two campaign aides makes a strong case for the most idiotic dialogue of the show’s run “I respect women who don’t have children,” one says “A tumor stopped me from having children,” the other clarifies “That’s what I said after the operation,” comes the punch line The capper of the scene is somehow even more dumbfounding: “I admire men who have some balls — in other words We could all use some conviction from Marseille some attempt to depict its characters as approximate human beings There is one good moment in “Voted,” when Barres notes that even if the campaign can’t prove charges of drug addiction against Taro merely leveling them will drag down the mayor’s poll numbers if the

Event most of the contenders for Olympic glory next year will be testing the waters on the French south coast And with just a month to go until the Allianz Sailing World Championships 2023 in Scheveningen it will also be the perfect gauge of form for the main contenders At a regatta which is packed full of the sport’s biggest stars the sheer scale of talent on show in the ILCA 7 will take some beating will face off against the two men who joined him on the podium in Tokyo in the Laser Tonci Stipanovic (CRO) and Hermann Tomasgaard (NOR) reigning world champion Jean-Baptiste Bernaz (FRA) and the man he beat in Mexico who won the The Netherlands World Cup at the Allianz Regatta and Michael Beckett (GBR) victorious at the Spain World Cup at the 52 Trofeo Princesa Sofía Mallorca by Iberostar and the event will feature all the main contenders in the class Trailing not far behind the ILCA 7 in terms of pedigree is the field in the ILCA 6 where reigning world and Olympic champion Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark will be the one to beat with Josefin Olsson (SWE) and Maud Jayet (SUI) both also on the start line having scooped Olympic and world silver behind Rindom respectively Double world champion Emma Plasschaert (BEL) who won bronze at the World Championships last year while London 2012 Olympic champion Marit Bouwmeester (NED) (pictured) will look to shine at the Test Event after a strong start to the season There are more Olympic champions in action in the 49erFX where Brazil’s Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze will look to cement their position at the top of the class they appear to have nailed peaking for the big occasion Competition could come from the Netherlands for whom Odile van Aanholt and Annette Deutz are the reigning world champions while Sweden’s

Ugolini and Maria Giubilei for Italy ahead of Olympic champions Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti leaves the Nacra 17 competition wide open Ugolini and Giubilei won World Championship silver behind their compatriots a year ago and will now look to shine in their absence But the favourites may well be John Gimson and Anna Burnet (GBR) the Olympic silver medallists and two-time world champions Olympic bronze medallists Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (GER) and world bronze medallists Sinem Kurtbay and Akseli Keskinen (FIN) should also be right in the mix The other mixed event at the Test Event is the Mixed 470 There has been plenty of turnover from both the 470 men and the 470 women not least with the retirements of British pair Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre However Olympic silver medallist Anton Dahlberg (SWE) will look to impress alongside new partner Lovisa Karlsson (pictured) while Jérémie Mion joins Tokyo bronze medallist Camille Lecointre for the hosts with the pair having won world bronze last year Jordi Xammar Hernandez and Nora Brugman Cabot (ESP) beat them in Sdot Yam but Malte and Anastasiya Winkel have earned the spot for Germany ahead of world champions Luise Wanser and Philipp Autenrieth There is plenty of intrigue around the windsurfing for men with a pair of world champions leading the charge Germany’s Sebastian Kordel took the honours last year in Brest and will look to impress again in French waters But he will face competition from Nicolas Goyard (FRA) Goyard is the brother of Tokyo silver medallist Thomas Goyard The Dutch challenge will come from Huig-Jan Tak (pictured) a recent silver-medallist at the Allianz Regatta the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist will be in action in the iQFOiL Women with Emma Wilson (GBR) (pictured) looking to

Palma are all coming to Marseille including silver medallist Lucie Belbeoch (FRA) and bronze medallist Veerle Ten Have (NZL) The class which has seen maybe the greatest turnover since Tokyo is the 49er with none of the Olympic medallists in action in Marseille There is still huge pedigree in the field though notably with reigning world champions Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken (NED) looking to build on the form that saw them win on home waters at the Allianz Regatta ahead of a possible hat-trick of world titles they got the better of Diego Botin and Florian Trittel (ESP) and 2018 world champions Sime and Mihovil Fantela (CRO) so expect plenty of competition for the Dutch Search for survivors continues two days after buildings collapsed on Monday Six bodies have now been found in the rubble of two dilapidated buildings that collapsed in the centre of Marseille earlier this week. Emergency workers are continuing to sift through the ruins for others still believed to be missing since the two buildings came down suddenly on Monday morning The discovery of a fifth victim at dawn on Wednesday came as angry local people accused Marseille officials of leaving the city’s poorer residents living in dangerous housing announced that he had ordered a building-by-building audit in Marseilles before launching what he called an ambitious programme to ensure safer conditions Rescue work has been hampered by heavy rain and evidence suggests the collapse has destabilised neighbouring buildings “We are continuing our work in the hope of finding survivors,” Charles-Henri Garie 0:29Marseille: search continues after buildings collapse – videoTwo buildings containing apartments at numbers 63 and 65 Rue de l’Aubagne suddenly collapsed in the rundown Noailles district of the Mediterranean port on Monday morning The others were so dilapidated they had been condemned and were boarded up though locals said they were frequently used by squatters Residents say they had warned that the buildings were structurally unsound for years, but accused city authorities of doing little. Images taken before the collapse show large cracks in the facade of number 63; a former resident, retired college lecturer Mark Mason told the Guardian he had been forced to sell his flat in the building to the council in 2012 under a compulsory purchase order after the first storey floor collapsed and chunks of masonry began falling from the building “Everybody knew about the problems with the two collapsed buildings,” Patrick Lacoste a spokesman for a local housing action group “People died for nothing even though we knew,” he added blamed Marseille city hall for the disaster Residents accompanied by police and firefighters recover their belongings from the collapsed buildings Photograph: Alain Robert/Sipa/Rex/Shutterstock“It’s been 10 years that I’ve been living here and I’ve never had anyone come and inspect my apartment,” another local resident called Sophie told AFP Marseille city council has evacuated and rehoused 100 residents from neighbouring buildings and says heavy rain may have contributed to the collapse in the central 1st arrondissement has several dilapidated buildings In 2011 the local authorities began a plan to renovate the city centre but a 2015 government report suggested that 100,000 Marseille residents were living in housing dangerous to their health or security a former buildings inspector who oversaw the 2015 report told RTL radio this represented around 13% of homes He added that the figures had changed little since making Marseille the European city with “the most decaying housing” Marseille public prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux said it was believed that eight people – five residents and three visitors - were in number 65 when it collapsed Richarlison scored his first Champions League goals against 10-man Marseille to win the points for unconvincing Tottenham 7 Sept 202222.53 CEST90+4 min: A brilliant block from Ben Davies keeps Marseille out after the Welsh international had given the ball away cheaply. 7 Sept 202222.51 CEST90+4 min: Matt Doherty wins a corner for Spurs, it’s taken and the ball finds its way to Kane, who spins and shoots.

Brazilian Savinho Greenwood signed his contract after passing the medical examination the club said in a statement that did not disclose the financial details of the deal The BBC reported that the transfer could be worth up to $33.9 million Marseille highlighted Greenwood's season at Getafe where he scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 36 matches earning him the fans' vote as the best player of the team Greenwood said he chose Marseille as his new destination because "it is a club with a great history an incredible crowd" and he had "good conversations with the new coach Roberto De Zerbi," whose work he knows from his time at Brighton De Zerbi's arrival was "very important" in his decision "He has very precise tactical ideas" and Brighton was "a very enjoyable team to watch," he emphasized This year’s must-see shows range from a Nordic Pavilion exploring transgender spaces to a compelling Lebanese project confronting the realities of ecocide Frieze returns to The Shed in May with more than 65 of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries and the acclaimed Focus section led by Lumi Tan Buoyed by Manifesta announcing it will dock in the port city in 2020 I remember the exact moment I decided to leave Marseille for good past the blackened facades that line the once-grand Canebière which links the Old Port to the city centre ‘What on earth am I still doing here?’ I wondered to myself Marseille and its art scene have developed in ways that would have been unthinkable back then Spurred on by the award of European Capital of Culture in 2013 the city is on the rise as a cultural destination freeing itself – at least partly – from its sulphurous reputation as France’s grimy crime capital The photogenic Mucem flaunts its metal lace cube against the Mediterranean’s turquoise backdrop La Friche de la Belle de Mai – a former tobacco factory home to several non-profit cultural organizations – has had its exhibition spaces radically transformed by a new annexe The FRAC PACA has swapped its dingy premises in the old town for an elegant new venue designed by Kengo Kuma and set in the rapidly changing neighbourhood of La Joliette A fresh wind is blowing and there are signs that the international art circuit is finally paying attention who come in flip flops to start the season en douceur are increasingly keen to swap the grey skies of Paris or Brussels for a spot in the sunshine the roving European Biennial of Contemporary Art announced it would dock in Marseille in 2020 ‘2013 was a real milestone,’ says FRAC’s director Pascal Neveux the city’s various players were mobilized like never before Following in the footsteps of Mécènes du Sud – a network of businesses that has embedded artists within companies – new art patrons have emerged Privately-funded initiatives are now driving a local scene that until recently was mainly reliant on public subsidies Two weeks ago the talk of the town was the inauguration of a new cultural hub Property developer ANF is trying its hand at art patronage and has given seven organizations – big and small commercial and non-profit – a rent-free shop in a street behind the faded thoroughfare of Rue de la République The hip Parisian gallery Crèvecoeur and the Brussels-based art consultancy Catherine Bastide have moved in artist Wilfrid Almendra has opened up a studio and local print workshop Tchikebe has launched its first boutique The collectors’ group Lumière is also involved and has devoted the second iteration of its project space Atlantis to a thoughtful presentation of Martin Soto Climent's work ‘Marseille is the new Los Angeles,’ enthuses Ombline d’Avezac who is spearheading the Chevalier Roze project for ANF ‘We’ve had so many requests from people who want to do projects here.’ It won’t be easy for commercial galleries however Like everywhere in France outside of Paris The local collector-base mainly operates internationally and galleries often struggle to generate the kind of income necessary to secure a presence at major art fairs ANF opened its art hub on the very street which was home to the much-loved galerieofmarseille The issues raised by the opening of the Chevalier Roze hub dwarf art-world economics the Rue de la République – once a prestigious address in the 19th century – was gloomy and deprived Now – despite the scrubbed up facades – it feels gloomy More than 40 percent of people in the neighbourhood live below the poverty line (against a quarter in the city at large) an American trust tried and failed to turn it into a high-end shopping destination According to local association Un Centre Ville Pour Tous more than half of the commercial premises in Rue de la République I can only welcome an initiative that carves out a space for art in an area I've heard described several times as ‘moribund.’ There's clearly genuine good will from all parties involved and ANF assured me that the gallery rent would never go up to market rate would involve not only spaces staying put after their free three-year leases run out but preserving the social diversity that is the DNA of this part of town It's the kind of success that won't be measurable for years until long after Manifesta’s fairy dust has settled Marseille has a strong history to build on Locals here remember with nostalgia the 1990s golden age back when gallerist Roger Pailhas was the city elite’s tastemaker A larger-than-life character who didn’t speak a word of English he linked Marseille to the global art world like no one before or since regularly exhibiting the likes of Sol Lewitt Pailhas’ close friendship with Marseille collectors Marc and Josée Gensollen had a major influence on the shaping of their collection is set out as a showroom displaying conceptual grandees (Joseph Kosuth Stanley Brouwn) alongside their heirs Douglas Gordon and Maurizio Cattelan ‘La Fabrique is incredible,’ Centre Pompidou director Bernard Blistène tells me What [the Gensollens] do for their city is absolutely amazing.’ Blistène is another to have played a key role in Marseille’s artistic history Director of the city museums from 1990 to 1996 which he entrusted to a then 28-year-old Philippe Vergne Among the exhibitions that took place in Marseille under Blistène's helmsmanship were the first French retrospectives of Jean-Michel Basquiat ‘We tried to build the programme in relation to Marseille,’ he recalls I explained that his work had an entropic dimension which had something to do with the story of Marseille Blistène was appointed by mayor Robert Vigouroux and left his post in 1996 What followed for Marseille’s institutions was a long spell in the wilderness Today local politicians seem to have finally realized the benefits of supporting the arts collector Marie-Hélène Feraud-Gregori was elected as city councillor dedicated to Opera Odeon and Contemporary Art – the only councillor in the country with ‘contemporary art’ in her title One of the driving forces in securing Manifesta for Marseille and her position at the crossroads of private commitment and public office Marseille remains a place where improvisation prevails we were able to be free,’ says Charlotte Cosson Cosson and her accomplice Emmanuelle Luciani are among Marseille’s most visible young curators The duo settled in Luciani’s hometown in 2012 Their move is symptomatic of a phenomenon which sees creatives leaving traditional art hubs for more affordable cities on the periphery – a reaction against the pressures that led me to leave Marseille all those years ago ‘You can have a kind of visibility which is much more floating and global.’ After exhibitions including ‘COOL as a State of Mind’ at the MAMO (located on the rooftop of Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse) and a regular moving image programme at the Leclere auction house the pair have chosen to ground their practice in production next to the coffee roasting plant that has been in Luciani’s family since the 19th century Artists including Samara Scott and Matteo Nasini were among those invited to spend time there and benefit from the skills of the Luciani factory workers Cosson and Luciani hope that this informal residency will expand to welcome up to six artists at a time They also opened an office-cum-showroom at the Chevalier Roze last week looping the loop from art making to exhibition whose work was much noticed at the Lyon Biennale last year tells me how much she enjoys living in Marseille and striking up new collaborations with fellow artists passing through town But she is concerned for the younger generation particularly those trained at Marseille’s somewhat lacklustre École des Beaux-Arts is more connection between the art school and the city ‘Students need to have real possibilities to show their work in town,’ she adds ‘and to be identified as coming out of Marseille’s art school.’ While some studios are available for artists coming from elsewhere for locals finding studio spaces can be tricky Artist and Marseille native Benjamin Valenza might have one of the few City of Marseille's official studio spaces but he is acutely aware of the city’s inner workings where you can find a studio for 300 Euros,’ he says ‘That means that if you are not a rich kid you simply don’t have the economic scope to operate.’ and thinking about Marseille now that I'm back London I can't help but be amazed by how much the city has changed The sheer number of people keen to make of this noisy ebullient Mediterranean port a place where the visual arts thrive is exhilarating Blistène has a word of warning against the ‘city renaissance’ cliché: ‘Marseille trips up It will always go both well and badly.’ Still Creative Commons; Photograph: Paolo Gilberto Coline

his prison in Villefranche-sur-Saône Fearing he would be arrested if he had attended the hearing in Monaco he nevertheless insisted on being represented by his lawyer The plan was to spend some time in the Principality deposit some money in the bank and even pick up a Rolex watch But little did the young men know that they would soon find themselves on the radar of the Monegasque authorities they had the idea of dropping by the Rolex store to buy a watch Jules thought there would be no waiting list in Monaco He reportedly contacted the Monegasque store by email two years previously And yet the defendant was able to provide the emails to prove it “In Paris there’s a waiting list in Monaco there’s no list,” Jules explained the three friends asked Monegasque police officers for directions to the Société Générale so that they could deposit the money The police decided to check their identity and then arrested them after discovering that they had €23,445 on them in cash shared out between them so as not to exceed the Principality’s authorised limit of €10,000 per person The prosecutor claims the police could smell a rat The lawyer for two of the defendants implied it was a case of racial profiling Deux vols commis coup sur coup à cause de la négligence de ses deux victimes The defendants’ explanations of where their money came from failed to convince the magistrates Jules

his career:  “I’ve been working for 17 years his restaurant almost always ran at a loss And yet he still paid himself a monthly salary of €1,200 The judge then pointed out the disconnect between his income and the desire to buy a Rolex The defendant argued that it was money he had saved from his earnings The key issue in the trial was where the money came from The three defendants’ phones were analysed in order to find out more The most interesting messages were found on Jules’ phone he traded a number of messages with his partner and accountant who was worried: “You’ve messed up we’re overdrawn” and feared “we’ll have all sorts of inspections.” Gambler loses €2500 at Casino de Monte-Carlo then assaults partner Jules also reportedly sent other messages that clearly suggested he was

arrested on suspicion of attempted rape and assault The 22 year-old was subsequently charged with attempted rape engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm the charges were later dropped due to the withdrawal of key witnesses and "new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction" Marseille is said to be interested in taking Greenwood away from Old Trafford with reports suggesting an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer worth in the region of £27million Newly appointed Marseille manager De Zerbi says he will defend Greenwood as he would any other player if the one-cap England international joins "Mason is a world-class player but we have not recruited him yet," De Zerbi said

France (Reuters) – Fiji face England on Sunday bidding to become the first Tier Two team to make the Rugby World Cup semi-finals having come so agonisingly close in their last opportunity 16 years ago The islanders actually made the last eight of the inaugural competition in 1987 despite losing two of their three pool games as they famously beat Wales in a Nantes pool classic to make the last eight and a meeting with champions-in-waiting South Africa It looked to be heading for a relatively routine for the Springboks as they dominated the first half led 13-3 at the break and stretched it to 20-6 with a counter-attacking JP Pietersen try with Fiji then suffering a yellow card for centre Seru Rabeni what followed was one of the most exciting and tense 20 minutes in World Cup history as 14-man Fiji suddenly found the explosive attacking verve that has made them such a success in Sevens for so long Winger Vilimoni Delasau chased his own kick for a try and two minutes later the Velodrome was in uproar as after a thrilling length of the field attack captain Mosese Rauluni slipped through a gap to send Sireli Bobo over for another try Seremaia Bai converted to make it 20-20 with 20 minutes to go which was when Springbok captain John Smit famously got his men into a huddle and told them he could see in their eyes what he had seen in those of the Australia and New Zealand players as they were upset by France and England the previous day “He told them to snap out of it and it was a magnificent example of leadership under the most intense pressure,” coach Jake White said after the match A Percy Montgomery penalty edged South Africa back into the lead but Fiji were on fire and were inches away from another stunning try 14 minutes from time Lock Ifereimi Rawaqa looked certain to score but Pietersen maybe energised by Smit’s uplifting words crashed into him and somehow found the strength to roll him into touch before the big man was able to get the ball down and the TMO of the day ruled no try have ever got to the last four as a minute later flanker Juan Smith got South Africa’s fourth try and Butch James then glossed the scoreline to 37-20 They swept past Argentina in the semis and went on to win the final against England Bai is back with Fiji as kicking coach in France and remembered that classic weekend of upsets – and near upsets – as he looked ahead to Sunday’s clash in the same stadium “It reminds me of the 2007 tournament where everybody wrote England off (after their 36-0 pool-stage defeat by South Africa),” he said this week with players who have played on the big stage Now we need to see how we can come back and do well in this quarter-final.” who spent two years in the English Premiership with Leicester said Fiji’s first win over England at Twickenham in August was an obvious lift but “form is out of the window” once the knockout stage begins “It gives us great confidence going into the game that we have beaten them but the most important thing in a playoff is that anything can happen,” he said re-focus and we will have to prepare well for this resilient English side.” Powered by PageSuite Last Updated on 26th January 2023 by
