Teenager alleged to have been recruited by prisoner who later called police to report him over killing of taxi driver Marseille’s long-running drug turf wars are under a renewed spotlight after a 14-year-old boy was allegedly hired as a hitman via social media and promised €50,000 (£42,000) by a prisoner to carry out a revenge killing The teenager is alleged to have been recruited by the 23-year-old inmate who later called the police from his prison cell to report the boy after he allegedly shot dead a 36-year-old man An investigation has been opened into alleged murder and conspiracy to murder by a criminal gang Police are trying to determine why the prisoner reported his own alleged recruit to police Read moreOn Friday, a 36-year-old taxi driver from the firm Bolt, who was well-known in Marseille as an amateur footballer, was found shot dead by a bullet to the head in his car not far from the city’s main train station. He was described by the prosecutor as having nothing to do with the drugs trade in the Mediterranean port city and although he was “coldly shot” in the back of the head, he was not believed to have been the intended target. Bessone said: “[The prisoner] recruited a 14-year-old minor from Vaucluse and organised the logistics for him to be collected by car and brought to a hotel room in Marseille. The young boy was carrying his own 357 Magnum revolver”. The boy allegedly had been instructed to carrying out a shooting and was told to travel by car. He asked the driver to wait, and when he refused the boy shot him in the back of the head, authorities said. The 14-year-old then allegedly fled the scene and hid nearby, calling his contacts and asking them to come and get him. But instead, the prisoner who had ordered the killing called police to report the boy, giving them his exact location, the prosecutor said. The boy was arrested and was being questioned. Bessone said the exact reason for the jailed man calling the police, and saying he was acting for a drug gang, remained to be determined. The prisoner went before a judge on Sunday and was charged in the case. The prosecutor said the 14-year-old boy was hired to carry out a revenge killing over the death of a 15-year-old boy last Wednesday. Free weekly newsletterThe most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment The same prisoner had last week contacted a 15-year-old boy online saying he would pay him €2,000 to intimidate a competitor from a rival drugs gang by setting fire to his door. The boy was tasked with shooting at the man’s door and setting it alight. But the teenager was spotted by members of a rival gang who the prosecutor said “stabbed him 50 times” then set him on fire, killing him. The 14-year-old boy was then allegedly hired online a few days later to avenge that killing. Marseille, France’s second-largest city, is also one of the poorest in France and is plagued by drug-related violence, which the president, Emmanuel Macron, pledged this year to stamp out. The city has in recent years witnessed a turf war for control of the highly profitable drug market between various clans. Bessone said victims and perpetrators of such violence were getting increasingly younger. The two latest deaths mean that the number of drug-related killings in Marseille has risen to 17 since the start of the year. Forty-nine people were killed in drug related violence in the city in 2023. The high-rise housing estates in the north of Marseille are in the grip of drug gangs. Residents of these underserved neighborhoods are forced to live with violence and a lack of opportunities. But not everyone is willing to accept the situation. drug trafficking and gang wars are a part of everyday life Drug-related violence has claimed dozens of lives in recent years and the French government has been unable to improve the situation The 21-year-old is the founder of an organization called Conscience The group campaigns locally and citywide for better living conditions in these neighborhoods It also supports families who have lost loved-ones to drug-related gang violence — something Amine has experienced himself Another ray of hope for these troubled districts is a converted firefighting bus that provides medical assistance Doctor Slim Hadiji and his team offer preventive care and hold information events They also make house calls and accompany patients to medical appointments The initiative supports those who would otherwise receive little to no help local football club FCL Malpassé is an important community hub and a safe haven for the children and young people living in these areas The club's coaches are available around the clock They hope their club can offer young people not just a safe place to go For more videos in this series, follow this link window.tgpQueue.add('tgpli-6819dbce248ad') window.tgpQueue.add('tgpli-6819dbce24998') It’s the 428th episode of the Tennis Gambling Podcast and it is time to preview Saturday’s semifinal matches at the Open 13 Provence Scott Reichel starts by quickly recapping what happened in the quarterfinals Scott dives into the Saturday slate while sharing his betting advice for each match the show wraps up with Scott’s two favorite plays in the Lock & Dog segment If you have been listening to this podcast on Spotify and/or Apple Podcasts, you can catch the episodes live on YouTube instead The Sports Gambling Podcast is a registered trademark WY Call 877-8-HOPENY or text HOPENY (467369) (NY) Call 1-800-327-5050 (MA) A South French charter flight arrived in about 14 hours to Marseille Lotte Tourism Development has launched a package product around South France The package around Southern France is operated only four times in September and October with a schedule of seven nights and nine days It uses a special Korean Air charter flight the villages loved by artists such as Gogh had to go mainly through large cities such as Paris because there were no direct flights from Incheon This charter flight has drastically reduced travel time to direct flights from Incheon to Marseille The product will stay in Marseille and Nice for two days where you can enjoy a leisurely tour of various villages in southern France including the medieval villages of Ez and Cannes where the Cannes Film Festival will be held You can taste local food at Monaco's Michelin one-star restaurant 'Pavilion Restaurant' where you can enjoy luxurious fine dining and enjoy the natural scenery of Levod Provence at a glance "We will be able to enjoy a leisurely trip following in the footsteps of artists in the fall which is considered the best time to travel to southern France," adding "We hope Lotte Tourism will enjoy a carefully selected schedule such as a five-star hotel and a Michelin restaurant." a discount of up to 500,000 won is also in progress for the first 30 people who book a September departure product products departing on September 28 and October 5 are excluded ※ This service is provided by machine translation tool Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions. Marseille here’s where to eat in the city everyone’s talking about Sure, bouillabaisse is great – but there’s far more to Marseille’s dining scene. This being France you’d expect at least a few life-changingly good restaurants But Marseille’s long and varied historical and cultural heritage makes its food scene particularly expansive and exciting fresh-as-anything fish or piping hot street food munched en route to the beach here’s our selection of the best places to eat in one of Europe’s most delicious cities.  This guide was written by the team at Time Out Marseille. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out. For more about how we curate, see our editorial guidelines It’s hard not to fall head over heels for A Moro, a charming little spot on Rue Venture The setting might be unassuming – speckled floor knick-knacks from another era and a small terrace that spills onto the street at the first hint of sunshine – but there’s an inexplicable comfort here like being wrapped up in an actual tiramisu you’ll find expertly crafted small plates: a thimble-sized vitello tonnato; broccoli with ‘nduja and crunchy pangrattato; and tender braised beef cheek with creamy polenta and cabbage.  © TubaThis sun-drenched hotel-restaurant couldn’t tick any more boxes if it tried. Tuba’s retro-style cabin rooms are housed in a former diving centre looking out over the ocean at Les Goudes – and the bar and restaurant are just as jaw-dropping Grab a water taxi from Vieux Port to soak up the vibes on a deckchair formerly of Mama Shelter – try the Le Grand Bleu de Marie a twist on a Bloody Mary with white wine and cockles Chef Antoine Teychené’s menu is simple and seasonal: think fish of the day thrown on the coals or harissa tajine with panisse (fried chickpea fritters Ever tried raspberry with harissa, eel with chocolate, semolina with crab? We thought not, but you’ll find all these combos at the brainchild of Alexandre Mazzia a 1.95-metre-tall former basketball player turned MVP of the kitchen Putting Marseille on the map of global haute cuisine with his unusual pairings. In a minimalist setting combining natural materials and soft lighting we were presented with a tasting menu of 40 dishes (yes How about their devilish tarama with green oil; bold combinations like gorgonzola with grilled almond condiments and onions; perfectly crispy pommes dauphine topped with onion ketchup and herb mayo; or a superb bowl of mussels spiced with smoked paprika Starting at 8.30am, the duo behind this cosy café on the charming Rue Fontange – Axelle Poittevin and Thomas Benayoun – are busy pulling espresso shots (Brazilian or Guatemalan from Ben Mouture coffee shop) with the precision of a firing squad, straight from a well-travelled La Marzocco machine. Out on Razzia’s terrace it’s like watching a live episode of France 3 Régions with the eclectic mix of hipsters and old-school locals from La Plaine in this rapidly gentrifying street If the morning has you wanting to cruise through life with an almond cookie lunchtime brings the real flavour with competition-worthy sandwiches made with buns freshly snagged daily from the nearby bakery Among the standout options is the unforgettable ‘bœufato tonnato’ sandwich and radicchio flambéed with guanciale The communal meal is inspired by cucina povera – a parade of comforting well executed dishes. You’ll leave with knees like fusilli At Prémices, a two-story spot just a short stroll from the port thickly-cushioned banquettes and a delightful tiled bar always with a veggie option to keep your carbon footprint in check. When we went we tried bull tartare on tangy labneh streaked with a zesty tamarind-prune condiment a delicately steamed skate wing dotted with kimchi-infused beurre blanc and spelt and BBQ-seared Brussels sprouts all under the blazing sun on the spacious terrace Unless you’re willing to get up at the crack of dawn to jostle with the crowds at the Vieux-Port on a Saturday morning, finding decent fish in Marseille without paying through the gills isn’t easy. But Poissonnerie Kennedy changed the game. On the ground floor by the pavement you’ll find a counter covered in ice and bouquets of pink shrimp ready to be taken away before heading to the rocks – still one of the city’s best spots for a romantic rendezvous it’s all about sharing: BBQ clams with chili and beef fat the chalkboard menu featured devilishly good prawns flambéed in pastis a sea bass tartare enhanced with crushed hazelnuts braised leek segments wrapped in a clear beurre blanc and impressive lamb meatballs served with polenta From the moment Regain opened at 53 Rue Saint-Pierre a somewhat rough-around-the-edges slope in the 5th district Marseille’s culinary scene suddenly hit a high note bistro chairs and a long zinc bar with an open kitchen the duo of Sarah Chougnet-Strudel and Lucien Salomon serve up dishes for lunch and dinner that are dangerous to try and replicate at home as each plate dares to combine flavours like a team of perfect outlaws Think tender cauliflower with sunflower tahini and fresh herbs; an intriguing beef tartare with Pink Lady apples and confit egg yolk; and superb line-caught meagre with leek sautéed chard and sorrel cream.  in a former haberdashery on Cours Saint-Louis for a legendary Marseille meal – our favourite is the €35 three-course lunch (served Friday to Sunday) but don’t miss the five-course dinner: a tour of chef Harry’s talents at €62 Complemented by Laura’s natural wine picks It’s hard to grasp Marseille in just a few bites and a drink, but if the city had to be summed up by a single bar, it would be the one at 41 Rue d’Endoume, where old-timers and night owls take turns from morning till night. On La Relève’s packed-out terrace you sit down for lunch without even glancing at the chalkboard classic three-course menu is written in white chalk; things like pristine brandade Thanks for subscribing!

2-0 on Saturday to go provisionally top of Ligue 1 despite finishing the match with 10 men.Marseille continued their impressive start to the season under new coach Roberto De Zerbi by beating Nice 2-0 on Saturday to go provisionally top of Ligue 1 Mason Greenwood was unable to add to his remarkable tally of five goals in his first three matches in French football but there was a debut goal for new signing Neal Maupay before a brilliant strike by Luis Henrique sealed the victory Marseille had Canadian defender Derek Cornelius sent off late on but held on for the win which moved them to 10 points from four matches That lifted them a point clear of Paris Saint-Germain although the defending champions will return to the summit if they can maintain their perfect start to the campaign by beating Brest later The game at the Velodrome was watched by a crowd of more than 65,000 and there was a celebratory atmosphere as Marseille wore a collectors' edition shirt to mark their 125th birthday and fans set off fireworks late on Maupay opened the scoring five minutes before half-time in this Mediterranean derby when he headed in a deflected cross by Luis Henrique for his first goal since returning to French football from Everton made it 2-0 with a magnificent goal eight minutes into the second half as he came in off the left flank and played a quick exchange with Amine Harit before curling a shot high into the net Cornelius was dismissed for a second yellow late on 75 minutes but that did not stop OM getting all three points and hopes will be high that they can push PSG in the title race if they can keep playing like this especially compared to other southern French cities on the glittering Med is that each hotel here has had a real chance to embrace the rhythm of the city and experiment — you’ll find few cookie-cutter hotel templates or rule books here Some are grand: thoughtfully restored mansions from the days when Marseilles hosted high society heading from Paris to overseas Others are more modern and glossy buildings set among the city’s faded shutters Whether you’re seeking central sea views or a stay in the leafy suburbs Our travel journalism is written and

operators These buttons and adverts are clearly signposted and provide direct links through to external sites “Hôtel-Dieu” is an old French term for a hospital or almshouse but this palatial example built in 1753 became a hotel in the modern sense in 2013 this city landmark gazes across the Vieux Port towards the iconic hilltop basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde Interiors in subdued tones drink in the brilliant Mediterranean light and the classical arched windows and balustrades marry well with the clean-lined furnishings There are few more enviable spots in town for a coffee and croissant than the private balconies in the “terrace” rooms Plage des CatalansTucked between the most central of Marseilles’ beaches and the Corniche Kennedy the road that shrink-wraps the rocky coast Les Bords de Mer is a true seaside hotel in simple art deco form also taking in the prestigious Cercle des Nageurs pool on its headland The hotel’s clean white interiors couldn’t feel further from that notorious prison pick from the rooftop or indoor heated pools So you’ve stepped off your TGV at the sunny end of the line Salvation lies in a townhouse just steps away from the foot of the grand statue-lined 19th-century staircase down from the station having recently added a spa and fitness room Part-business and part-boutique in appearance this is a cut above the standard model of a station-adjacent hotel It’s under 15 minutes’ walk from here to the Vieux Port Palais-de-JusticeA tree-shaded street four blocks back from the Vieux Port is home to one of Marseilles’ smartest boutique hotels in a five-floor townhouse dating from the city’s 19th-century rise as France’s imperial gateway You’ll still see signs of this in the frescoes and gilt on the tall ceilings your eye will be drawn instead to furnishings by mid-century design giants Le Corbusier and Arne Jacobsen the hotel can provide a summer boat charter to a basking spot on its own small private island Marseilles’ natural setting comes to the fore at this 16-room luxury hotel which hugs the rocky shore between two camera-worthy coves The villa property has been in the family of Gérald Passédat since 1917 and the chef has won three Michelin stars here for his delicate Mediterranean seafood dishes making use of more than 65 varieties of fish The hotel also has a second restaurant for more casual dining whether from private balconies or the heated saltwater pool PharoWith perhaps the most spectacular setting of any place to stay in Marseilles this Sofitel stands watch alongside the nearby forts over the approach to the harbour Like the ripple-walled MuCem museum also within view many of the hotel’s design elements reference the sea but with an outdoor pool and enough space — including the Pharo park next door — to appeal to families Kudos to the breakfast buffet for its local specialities this hotel has easy-on-the-eye rooms and apartments shared between a couple of fine townhouses close together on the same street under ten minutes on foot south of the Vieux Port The main building greets visitors with a Mediterranean-focused concept store and a tea salon while its restaurant has kept its stucco-moulded ceiling But its biggest treasure is the courtyard back garden shaded by Mediterranean and tropical foliage should you wish to try the most Provençal of pastimes The Vieux Port has been the heart of Marseilles since 600BC and all the rooms at this four-star hotel look out onto the harbour The number of fish stalls on the quayside may have dwindled since the days when the city’s signature fish stew bouillabaisse was first cooked up but it’s still a lively scene to wake up to The 51 rooms and suites are mostly in a cutting-edge 1950s style (reimagined but the biggest retro plaudits should go to the Library Lounge — surely the 1970s were never actually this groovy Marseilles has absorbed influences from around the Mediterranean throughout its 2,600-year history and perhaps the best hotel in town to reflect this sea-spanning culture is Le Ryad It’s an otherwise-typical 19th-century townhouse from the front but step inside and you might think yourself in Marrakesh but there are just enough brass lamps in alcoves rich red divan cushions and Majorelle Garden-inspired splashes of azure Not forgetting that riad essential: a courtyard garden with a fountain The north African food shops of the Noailles quarter are close by One more small sign of Marseilles’ turnaround in the early 2010s was the arrival of this branch of the Mama Shelter franchise which aims to tug the idea of the buzzy lifestyle hotel towards the affordable end of the market pastel-shuttered backstreets of the sixth arrondissement this mama is decked out in a Philippe Starck design that partly draws on retro Americana but you might still find a Tweety Pie or Spiderman mask propped on your pillow Sainte-AnneLocated 2.5 miles south of the city centre unless you’re here for the football or rugby in the main stadium But it’s a place of pilgrimage all the same set in La Cité Radieuse — an early 1950s apartment block designed by Le Corbusier which helped to define modern architecture The brutalist concrete structure is brightened with primary colours in the style of the Dutch abstract artist Piet Mondrian but how often do you get the chance to sleep in a bona fide Unesco world heritage site Aesthetes staying with children will also appreciate the kids’ paddling pool Vieux PortStanding on the corner where La Canebière the Grand Hotel Beauvau could not be in a more central location but doesn’t wear its history too heavily (though the Frédéric Chopin Suite does recall one distinguished former guest) and neither does it put all its design eggs in one period basket but its 70-plus rooms feature everything from Napoleon III wardrobes to patterns from the art deco period If you’re keener on sand than rock to serve as your stepping-off point into the Med you’ll find the city’s biggest expanses of beach at the Prado Overlooking the breakwaters at the seaside park’s northern end is the recently revamped low-rise 1970s complex housing the nhow Marseille

marked by contradiction: generally ambivalent Though he was the first major poet of the Harlem Renaissance and his novel Banjo was a touchstone for theorists of Negritude and Pan-Africanism, McKay is not as iconic as With the recent publication of two of his previously unreleased novels there's a wave of renewed attention to both his life and work. Much like his Harlem Renaissance contemporaries McKay is described as "difficult-to-categorize," "a misfit," "rebellious." He was polymorphous He slept with both women and men but didn't write much about either He hung out in modernist circles but spent much of his career writing sonnets in iambic pentameter.  he traveled to the nascent Soviet Union and received a rapturous welcome—meeting many high-level members of the Comintern including Zinoviev and Trotsky—but when his hosts asked him to rally Russian workers by telling them that an American revolution was imminent McKay criticized bourgeois values and the mandatory uplift of the New Negroes then wrote stories about proletarian characters that behaved inappropriately—they did not organize they drank and fought and fucked and robbed each other in the dead of night This failure to live up to expectations often rendered both the left and right unsatisfied the work didn't perform any discernible social function too concerned with non-working lumpenproletariat types The bourgeois New Negroes wanted him to recede to the background because the work made black people look bad—low-down McKay's life and work was defined by the psychic and physical distances he maintained but never returned after he left for the United States as a young man At the height of his career and in the midst of the Harlem Renaissance He attended many parties but was a reluctant dancer; he turned down invitations to Gertrude Stein's salon He continued traveling across Europe and North Africa to Marseille and Morocco for years before moving back to the States in poor health He was syphilitic for the latter half of his life had posed nude for Cubist painters in unheated studios developing a case of pneumonia from which he never fully recovered he renounced radical politics altogether and became a Catholic dying a rather solitary death at a hospital in Chicago Romance in Marseille (Penguin) is one of McKay's two posthumously published novels was written over seventy years ago and only published in 2017 It is an inventive work with layers of irony centered on the efforts of the Harlem intelligentsia to organize support for Ethiopia as the country faced Italian occupation. Romance in Marseille was written almost twenty years earlier and is shorter and classically picaresque. The book opens with Lafala a West African man of indeterminate origin Having stowed away on a ship from Marseille to find work in America he is discovered by the ship's staff and chained up against his will for the duration of the trip.  he gets frostbite and eventually has both lower legs amputated While convalescing he meets a lawyer who sues the shipping company on his behalf There are richly-detailed characters— intellectuals The core of the story is the titular romance between Lafala and Aslima a liaison complicated by the jealousy of Aslima’s Corsican pimp There are many intrigues; the people in this world are overly credulous and Romance in Marseille is immediately historically significant upon arrival: McKay’s commitment to creating truly marginal characters is extraordinary for the period and the book will undoubtedly provide a rich text for contemporary theorists in a number of disciplines Lafala's captivity and travails dovetail with Christina Sharpe’s theorization of the hold The fact that McKay (who was bisexual himself) includes openly queer unpathologized characters is notable for the time and may also account for his publishers' reluctance to print the book.  things that don't quite make sense—plot holes and discontinuities raise more questions than McKay is willing to answer One is left to wonder: Why do all the African characters speak the king's English while the African Americans shuffle along in vernacular dialect Is Lafala's disability ever accounted for in a real way Why did McKay try his hand at writing an African protagonist at all How can we truly represent the other who is just barely other How do we represent that which is at once familiar and immensely foreign—that which in one sense belongs to us and yet is and must always be wholly separate Brent Edwards (via Léopold Sédar Senghor) has theorized a notion of décalage—a certain irreconcilability an ever-present gap between positions in the African diaspora The word can be translated as discrepancy, time-lag or interval; it's also the word that French speakers sometimes use to translate jet lag The verb caler means to prop up or wedge something and décalage means the removal of some artificial prop or wedge As Edwards writes in The Practice of Diaspora:  Reading a work through the lens of décalage one begins to understand that attempts at reconciling diaspora are always already incomplete—the nation can never be whole; any attempts to reconstruct it must necessarily fall short But Romance in Marseille complicates this further: McKay's use of a disabled narrator forces us to contend with the contingent nature of narrative itself As Sharon Snyder and David Mitchell have elaborated in Narrative Prosthesis these characters are often employed as prosthetics for narrative: used to add extra metaphorical heft propping up the work by standing in for larger themes Le traditionnel feu d’artifice sera tiré au-dessus du plan d’eau du Vieux-Port à partir de 22h30 Afin que chacun puisse profiter de ce show son et

With Marseille assured of a top-two spot in Group B coach Gennaro Gattuso has handed defender Bamo Meite the first European start of his career today The 22-year-old has appeared in two Europa League matches this season but played just a total of three minutes in normal time between those games He's made eight appearances in Ligue 1 but hasn't started a match in any competition since August Facing Brighton's dynamic attack will provide valuable experience for Meite It's just been pointed out to me that Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour was actually a youth team player at Glasgow Rangers when Gennaro Gattuso was still in his playing days at Ibrox Gilmour said before the game: "Of course I’ve watched YouTube clips of Gattuso My grandad always told me about the old players at Rangers "Gattuso was a very aggressive player and also a very good footballer with the ball He was a top player for Rangers and had a great career." Can Gattuso's side shackle the skittish midfielder tonight Marseille forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Brighton No 9 Joao Pedro are the joint-top goalscorers in the Europa League so far Aubameyang's have come at a rate of 1.83 goals per 90 minutes De Zerbi admitted: "At the moment he (Kaoru Mitoma) is good to play we have to manage him in the best way if we want to play with him every week There are other players in the same situation – James Milner Lewis Dunk didn’t finish the game on Saturday "The toughest part of our work is deciding the first XI and not taking risks." Gattuso said about his compatriot: "To be honest we didn’t see eye to eye when we were young.. "He's one of the most important Italian coaches we have at the moment He knows how to make his team play in an incredible way and I’m proud that we have such a young coach doing so well in England." This Brighton side could line up in a manner of different shapes Adingra and Buonanotte could swap from right wing to the No 10 slot Gross or Hinshelwood may play at full-back De Zerbi also has the option of going with a back five to match up to Marseille's system if he wants Dunk and Van Hecke as the three central defenders with Gross and Gilmour in the middle of the park and Buonanotte supporting Pedro up front Gross could basically play anywhere in front of the centre halves Buonanotte could drop into midfield to match Marseille's central three.. It looks very much like Gennaro Gattuso is sticking to the back five that got him a 4-2 win away against Lorient last time out Young loanee Bamo Meite replaces Samuel Gigot at centre half Renan Lodi and Jonathan Clauss will bomb on from wing-back Azzedine Ounahi and Jordan Veretout are all technically gifted and will pack the midfield to deny Brighton the time and space they crave Vitinha (not the PSG/former Wolves midfielder - the Portuguese striker they signed from Braga) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will look to test the leaky Brighton defence De Zerbi's apparent No 1 Jason Steele gets the nod ahead of Bart Verbruggen in goal with top spot on the line Joel Veltman only makes the bench after a personal issue with Igor Julio at left-back and Pascal Gross or Jack Hinshelwood at right-back The other will partner Billy Gilmour in the engine room mobile attacking midfield three behind Joao Pedro Jack Hinchy and Joshua Duffus will hope to get some minutes too Roberto De Zerbi’s player rotation has been an ongoing theme since he became Brighton’s manager 61 changes to his starting line-up in 15 games is comfortably more than any other side in the Premier League But it may be more fun to analyse the volume of rotations that Brighton’s players make within games De Zerbi’s tactical approach is built on dragging the opponent into areas they don’t want to go making space for their own players to exploit the rules of the quiz are simple: can you identify which position certain Brighton players operated in during the game Roberto De Zerbi's men line up as follows We hope team news will be on the way in the not-too-distant future The eight early kick-offs have all reached half-time Group B has been explained with Rangers facing table-toppers Real Betis hoping to progress as Sparta Prague face bottom side Aris Limassol Group D sees already-qualified Atalanta and Sporting CP fighting it out for first it's 0-0 between Union SG and Toulouse as both aim to join Jurgen Klopp's side in the knockout stages and Slavia Prague and Roma will go through from Groups F and G respectively Bayer Leverkusen are guaranteed to top the group Roberto De Zerbi, who The Athletic recently revealed is in discussions to extend his contract was very downbeat after Brighton's 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out on Saturday even questioning his own credentials as a "top coach" he should take credit for an inventive performance in challenging circumstances A strong(er) defence meets a strong attack Marseille boss Gennaro Gattuso certainly has an interesting turn of phrase he said: "Brighton are everywhere on the pitch against Chelsea they had 65% possession away from home - they have incredible stats "We can't come here and play for a draw we'd need Jesus Christ to do that." No one will remember Aston Villa’s victory over Legia Warsaw for the football after an evening of chaos at Villa Park it was 2-1 to the home team but it was events off the pitch that will linger in the memory Forty-six arrests were made for a variety of offences including violent disorder and assaulting police officers West Midlands police say they will further review all available footage to identify the perpetrators with four officers hurt and one being taken to hospital All injuries are believed not to be serious Chief Inspector and match commander Tim Robinson said: “Unfortunately there were appalling scenes which saw away fans dangerously throw flares and other missiles at our officers yet officers’ own safety was put at risk because of the deplorable actions of others there

explore new strategies to mitigate and adapt A spate of murders — one involving a 15-year-old burned alive and another committed by a 14-year-old hitman-for-hire — has caused an uproar over the drug war plaguing France's second-biggest city Outrage has swept France as it became apparent the two Marseille teenagers were recruited as hitmen over social media by a 23-year-old member of the so-called "New Blacks" gang — detained in a prison located in the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence The two murders — committed only two days apart — are part of an ongoing war between two rival gangs known as DZ Mafia and another called the New Blacks The rival gangs are embroiled in a turf war over a drug dealing spot located in Marseille's 3rd arrondissement repeatedly making national headlines for drug busts and killings Marseille’s public prosecutor Nicolas Bessone told a press conference on Sunday that once recruited by the inmate the 15-year-old teen was tasked with setting alight a rival dealer's front door in exchange for a fee of €2,000 the 15-year-old was approached by rival gang members the teenager was"stabbed 50 times and taken to the Fonscolombes housing estate The inmate who had recruited the boy did not end things there to whom he offered a fee of €50,000 to murder a rival gang member The teenager — who was previously known to the police — has been in social care since he was nine Accepting the job and accompanied by a friend he ordered a Bolt ride to the Félix Pyat neighbourhood the teenager asked the 36-year-old taxi driver the 14-year-old shot him in the back of the head Bessone said it was the inmate who called the police to report the boy's location The boy had fled to hide and admitted to the killing after he was apprehended but claimed it was an accident The inmate behind the recruitment appeared before a judge on Sunday and was charged in the case The public prosecutor has since announced the opening of several investigations into these two cases looking into “murder in an organised gang” for the 15-year-old burned to death For the death of 36-year-old Nessim Ramdane the investigation will focus on the “criminal conspiracy to commit a crime” and “premeditated murder in an organised gang” Bessone stated that the situation in the city of some 860,000 has reached “a whole other level” expressing his concern at the fact that boys were being recruited at such a young age Marseille's public prosecutor spoke about the growing violence in the city with Euronews in March warning of further escalation caused by what he said was “money that flows dealers have been targeting vulnerable youth in search of quick cash Drug-related deaths in Marseille reached an all-time high last year things appeared to have changed for the better when figures revealed that the number of drug-related deaths had been slashed in three for the period of January to September 2024 Yet, this is not a quick fix issue, as French politicians have spent decades battling about how to deal with this situation while many residents accuse authorities of leaving them behind 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 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 Marseille’s long criminal history and reputation as a drug trafficking capital can be traced to the “French Connection.” The French connection was a drug trafficking route through Marseille established in the 1930’s when mafia leader Paul Carbone transported poppy seeds from Turkey to France via Marseille and then on to Canada and eventually the US to be used in the manufacturing of heroin Marseille was one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean With its reputation as a drug capital being cemented over the years and its status as France’s major port city In 2018 there were 23 gang-related deaths in France’s second city in 2019 this climbed to 28 and this year gangland killings have claimed 15 lives it isn’t just this worrying escalation that has French citizens so scared There is a concerning trend that the age of the victims seems to be decreasing was shot dead by a young man on a scooter outside the Les Marronniers housing estate where he lived Two other boys were wounded in the shooting Rayanne’s family insist he was just a normal boy who attended school and enjoyed playing with friends Investigators however have evidence to the contrary reporting that he was a chouffeur (lookout) paid by one of the gangs to patrol their turf Whether he was an innocent victim or a target for a rival gang social workers and local journalists all attest to the fact drug auxiliaries are getting progressively younger One social worker spoke to Le Monde newspaper: “In 2010 the first time a 16-year-old was killed it was a thunderclap An investigating magistrate told Le Monde that young people are being recruited by gangs via the Internet and many come from estates in other French cities They say the gangs tell the young recruits that it is “like a summer job but they’re much more vulnerable than the local lads because they’re so isolated.”  a writer and expert on the poor northern neighbourhoods of Marseille says many young recruits become indebted to gang leaders and some even dip into their supply so they push out further from their home turf They come up against other kids from other gangs President Emmanuel Macron visited Marseille and the gangland violence formed the backdrop for his appearance Residents pleaded with Macron for help on Wednesday This surge in deadly shootings has put long-standing social problems on the political agenda A social worker from Bassens told AFP ahead of Marcon’s arrival “We’re scared…sometimes you hear shooting like it’s a Western film.” Citizens were asking for more police and better housing as encounters with drug dealers are now a regular occurrence “We won’t give up…We have improved results in making sure drug-dealing spots close permanently.” While his claims are accurate and death rates remain below those in 2016 and the particularly violent period in the 1980s still give the impression the drug turf war in Marseille is not slowing down “Nobody cares what happens here…I get the sense that they [politicians] think ‘let’s leave these paupers and foreigners to kill each other out there.’”  Poverty and urban squalor have contributed to the hold the drug trade has over Marseille People in these urban estates are desperate for money and at times the school system is failing young people “the schools are unworthy of the republic” describing them as being in a “woeful” state This combination has made easy targets of young people as gangs can promise them fast money in return for loyalty While drug gangs and turf wars may not be unique to Marseille whether innocent bystanders or lookouts for gangs is becoming a recurring theme that cannot be ignored Marseille has a long-established reputation as an underworld for crime but it appears that now the heart of the city is under siege with children caught in the middle of a drug war and no one offering any solutions

securing the signing of Boubacar Kamara of Marseille who is a central midfielder but also able to play the centre-back role quite well Milan managers are admirers of the 21-year-old player's quality and value his talent highly especially given that he could be a good opportunity to reinforce the squad as Kamara's contract is set to expire next year According to what is reported by L'Equipe in France English club Newcastle stepped up efforts to sign the player this summer by proposing a transfer fee of 14 million euros Marseille would like to monetise more money than that and website in
