C’è un giallo che al presidente della Repubblica francese,
Emmanuel Macron, non fa venire il mal di testa come accade quando vede i “gilet” protestare per le strade del paese: è il giallo del Tour de France, la corsa ciclistica più antica del mondo, nonché la più grande festa popolare dell’estate francese.

Boris Johnson will lead efforts to fend off accusations that the world’s richest countries are hoarding Covid vaccines by pledging at a G7 summit that the UK will donate surplus doses to poorer countries and cut to 100 days the time it takes to produce new jabs.
Both Russia and China are threatening to win an escalating vaccine diplomacy war by sending their vaccines direct to Africa, while the G7 club of wealthy nations continues to pile up surplus supplies as insurance against stocks running out.
