Victorious at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic won the tournament despite an injury that handicapped him very early. An impressive performance for the 36-year-old athlete who can now dream of becoming the most successful Grand Slam tennis player in the history of his sport.

And by 22 ! This Sunday, January 29, 2023, the Serbian Novak Djokovic entered a little more in the legend of tennis. By winning his 22nd Grand Slam, a record he shares with Rafael Nadal, and his 10th Australian Open, the Serbian offered a performance that will remain in the memories. Indeed, according to Craig Tiley, boss of the Australian Open, Djokovic would have won the tournament with a tear of 3 centimeters in the left hamstring, contracted in the second match. In an interview with SEN Sportsday, the former player said: "There has been a lot of speculation about the veracity of this information, it's hard to believe that you can achieve such things with this kind of injury, but he is remarkable. He handled it very professionally," he added. In this interview, the Australian wanted to highlight the qualities of the now world number one, recalling that "even if he is hated by many, he is capable of doing unimaginable things".

"From a medical point of view, it is incredible and dangerous!"

Released in France in 2019, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther was a smash hit. Praised by the majority of critics, welcomed with fervor by the public, which took it to the top of the list of the world's biggest box-office successes, the film brought in $1.3 billion in revenue. Enough to make Marvel Studios confident that they would immediately launch a sequel to the adventures of their first African superhero, T'Challa, whose role was given to Chadwick Boseman. The sudden death in August 2020 of the actor, then aged 43, after the shock, forced a reworking of the script and postponed the shooting. In the second opus, Black Panther. Wakanda Forever (by the same director) the king of Wakanda is dead. And it is now his mother, the majestic Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) who reigns over the kingdom.

Alongside them are Okoye (Danai Gurira), commander of his personal guard; Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright), his daughter, a brilliant scientist who is struggling to recover from the disappearance of her brother; Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), a vigilante and spy who was once T'Challa's fiancée; and the formidable fighter, Ayo (Florence Kasumba). The women who, in the first part, served as beautiful supporting roles now occupy the leading roles. They have taken the lead, the power and for one of them, the place of the invincible character. Shuri becoming, in Black Panther. Wakanda Forever, the worthy successor of her brother, the superheroine of the film.

We understand that feminization and mourning impose their marks. They will later appear as the pillars of the story, providing its two main threads: the mother-daughter relationship (in exchange for the father-son dynamic highlighted in the previous opus); the upheavals and repositioning to which the loss of a loved one forces us, both individually and collectively. The loss of a loved one affects the film's teams and is embodied in the characters, who are also forced to move forward. The strength of the story depends on this, which, after a somewhat muddled set-up, ends up taking us on board, with both the danger and a new superhero emerging in the process.

Sunken City

Still prosperous thanks to its gigantic vibranium deposit, a metal that has allowed it to develop a technology surpassing that of other countries, Wakanda cannot hope to live in peace. Jealous and coveted by other powers, the threat grows, a worldwide attack is taking shape, and another kingdom, also a holder of wealth and, for this reason, also in danger, appears in the sights: Talokan, a city sunken under the waters of the ocean, whose existence had until then escaped the surveillance of the Wakandans. It is revealed to them by the visit of its ruler, Namor, a winged leader, who has come out of the water to explain his project to Queen Ramonda. An alliance that would lead their two peoples into a war against the rest of the world.

With air quality deteriorating and fuel prices rising, are the new barrier-free tolls the solution? This new system, which has been introduced in the Allier region of France, reduces journey times while protecting the environment.

How do they work?

Motorists on the A79 will have to remember to pay: France's first toll-free motorway opens on Friday in the Allier. These "free flow" motorways already exist abroad. Users can travel at the authorized speed, without slowing down or stopping, by passing under gates equipped with cameras and sensors that identify their vehicle.

The easiest way to pay is to get a standard electronic toll tag. But it is also possible to pay on the website. The last option is to use one of the 16 kiosks along the motorway to pay by card or in cash. The customer then has 72 hours to pay. If they fail to do so, a fine of 90 euros will be added to the amount of the toll, and even 375 euros if they do not pay within 60 days. 

Are the benefits for the environment real?

The barriers will be gradually replaced by gantries by mid-2025. The aim is to return 28 hectares to nature. This is the equivalent of 40 football pitches, which are currently occupied by the toll infrastructure. 

The company also promises to save time, fuel, and CO2 emissions. This is because cars no longer need to stop and then accelerate again, which is a very fuel-intensive phase. 

Friday November 4, 2022, the A79 becomes the first French toll motorway but without toll stations. With an investment of 120 million euros, this new innovative model offers deferred payment. But beware of fraudsters: measures have been put in place to avoid non-payment.

The opening of the A79 as the first French toll-free motorway raises many challenges. From an economic point of view, the stakes are essential, we are talking about an investment of 120 million euros and a new payment model.

What are the means of financing?

There are three ways to pay. First, the simplest solution is to get a classic electronic toll tag. You can also pay on the motorway's website: all you must do is register your registration number and bank details once and for all to pay for each passage. Finally, it is possible to pay on the spot thanks to one of the 16 terminals at the edge of the motorway which allow you to pay by card or in cash. To settle the payment, you have 72 hours, says Pierre Méau, deputy customer director of the Paris-Rhin-Rhône motorways (APRR). After this period, a fine of 90 euros accompanied by the amount of the toll is required, increased to 375 euros without payment within 60 days.

It is a conflict that is deepening between Algeria and Morocco, indeed for some years a rivalry between the two countries around Western Sahara that economically paralyzes the countries of Africa. This conflict has deepened since Donald Trump recognized the "Moroccanness" of the Sahara against the normalization of relations between Rabat and Tel Aviv. This "agreement" did not delight the Algerians, because it means support from the United States and Israel.

Franco-Moroccan relations have never been so cold. For the past 1 year there has been a cold between the two countries since France decided to reduce the number of visas granted to Morocco and Algeria by 50%, which has annoyed the countries of North Africa. The Moroccan government called this act "an insult", which created a wave of indignation on social networks and in the media.

This Sunday, Morocco celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Green March. It is a tribute to former King Hassan II.  It is with an envelope to enable infrastructure to be built to create employment from 77 billion dirhams that King Mohammed VI wishes the economic development of the Sahara to boost the creation of jobs and infrastructure.

According to the king, the Saharan province will make it possible to create a link between Morocco and other West African, to this end, great efforts are being made to transform the cities of the southern provinces into truly radiant and prosperous urban centers and attractive and promising economic hubs.

The first to open on Friday 4 November 2022 is the A79 in the Allier region. We take a closer look at these new motorways with their many advantages and disadvantages. 

This is a step forward for motorists. It is the end of toll barriers. This toll system has already been adopted abroad. It works well and has been accepted by motorists. All users will be able to drive continuously at the permitted speed and pay later. For motorists, this saves time and fuel. They only need to pay via their mobile phone before or after their journey, or acquire an electronic toll tag.

A study shows that a majority of victims have been confronted with cyberbullying before the age of 21 on social networks such as Tiktok or Instagram. Most of these young people are registered on several platforms, which increases the risk of having to deal with cyberbullying. It can also be seen from surveys that more people who register on social networks or online games are male and uneducated.

At the pose, the rac basketball players find themselves behind by only 8 small units.

A respected logic.

Returning from the locker room, Le Mans relied on its collective resources to knock out their evening opponent, helpless the third division players could do nothing to contain the 3-point address. For their part, the loss of balls and the missed baskets do not allow them to come back to the score. The small club found themselves behind by 23 points before the last quarter. If the chances of victory are moving away for the locals, the pleasure remains omnipresent for the players.
