Sept mois après, un reporter est retourné pour France 24 au service de réanimation mis en place à la clinique de l'Estrée, à Stains, au nord de Paris, pour voir comment le personnel soignant surmontait la deuxième vague de Covid-19. Reportage.
French lawmakers on Tuesday began debating a bill that could ban dissemination of images of police officers' faces, triggering protests in Paris and other French cities against the potential loss of a check against abuses of power.
The trial of Moroccan national Ayoub el Khazzani, who opened fire aboard a Thalys train traveling through Northern Europe in August, 2015, started on Monday in Paris. Khazzani's lawyer had asked before the trial began that the court call Eastwood as a witness, claiming that he could "shed some light" on the authenticity of scenes depicted in his movie.
Eastwood's movie is based on a book written by the trio entitled "The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes".
A French court has ruled that Clint Eastwood cannot testify during the trial of a suspected Islamist gunman, whose attack on a high-speed train was thwarted by three Americans, who later played themselves in a movie by the U.S. actor and director.
La présidente de la Commission technique de la vaccination a détaillé sur BFMTV la stratégie de mise en place d'un éventuel vaccin anti-Covid en France.
Si un vaccin contre le Covid-19 est "efficace et sûr", il pourrait être administré dès le "début de l'année 2021", a estimé Olivier Véran ce mardi matin sur BFMTV-RMC, au lendemain des annonces encourageantes de Moderna, qui affirme que son candidat est "efficace à 94,5%".
Le ministre de la Santé n'a cependant pas précisé les modalités de la vaccination, dont la stratégie est élaborée en France par la Commission technique des vaccinations. Sa présidente, la professeure Elisabeth Bouvet, a assuré sur BFMTV que le pays sera "en capacité" de mettre en oeuvre une telle campagne.
"Deux grandes cibles" désignées
L'infectiologue a précisé que "deux grandes cibles" ont été désignées pour recevoir les premières doses de vaccins, qui arriveront "petit à petit". À savoir les populations à risque, comme les personnes âgées, susceptibles de développer les formes les plus graves du Covid-19, ainsi que les professionnels de santé.
"Avec la première phase de vaccination, nous ne sommes pas dans une stratégie qui vise à stopper l'épidémie mais dans une stratégie qui vise à protéger les personnes vulnérables et les professionnels de santé. Si on veut intervenir sur l'épidémie, ce sera lors d'une deuxième ou d'une troisième phase de vaccination avec des doses plus importantes", a expliqué Elisabeth Bouvet.
Des vaccins pour différentes catégories de personnes
Les éventuels vaccins qui vont arriver sur le marché français ne fonctionneront pas de la même manière selon les personnes à qui ils sont administrés. "Certains seront plus efficaces pour les personnes âgées, d'autres pour les plus jeunes", a précisé l'infectiologue.
"Au cas par cas, au fur et à mesure que les vaccins auront une autorisation de mise sur le marché en France, la Commission technique des vaccinations délivrera des recommandations qui permettront de cibler les indications de chacun de ces vaccins dans la situation actuelle", a-t-elle expliqué.

Plusieurs laboratoires ont récemment vanté l'efficacité de leur candidat-vaccin. Parmi eux, la société pharmaceutique américaine Pfizer, à qui la Commission européenne a pré-commandé 300 millions de doses, dont 30 millions seront réservées à la France a dévoilé Olivier Véran. Ou encore Moderna, pour lequel un contrat européen est en cours de négociations, selon le secrétaire d'État Clément Beaune.
Michael Schumacher as the most successful driver in Formula One’s history — yet despite all the acclaim, the seven-time world champion divides opinion.
With 20.6 million Instagram followers Hamilton is by a country mile the most popular member of the Formula One grid, supported by an army of loyal fans known as ‘Team LH’.
“The greatest sportsman this country has ever produced — no doubts,” tweeted former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand after Hamilton crossed the finish line in Istanbul on Sunday.
Yet Hamilton’s rise to F1 legend status has been accompanied by articles in his homeland exploring the same question — ‘why is he disliked?’

Just as in Schmacher’s all-conquering era with Ferrari, Hamilton and Mercedes have become victims of their own success.
Mercedes are accused in the court of public opinion of being too good and turning the sport into a tedious procession — they have won the last seven constructors titles and Hamilton has won the last four world drivers titles.
Hamilton tackled the issue last season.
“It’s not how F1 should be, but it is what it is right now and it has been like that in the past,” he said.
“But it is not our fault these guys are good at their jobs.”
For The Times’ Rebecca Clancy, Hamilton’s decision to move to first Switzerland and then Monaco — in part to pay less tax — was at the heart of any anti-Hamilton sentiment.

Another obstacle for some British F1 fans was the support of the once mighty McLaren team which powered him to his first title in 2008.
“Britons like underdogs,” explained The Sun.

- ‘Hypocrisy’ -
For The Daily Telegraph, the ‘Marmite’ factor (love him or loathe him) stems from the fact that “Hamilton’s tastes may not always sit perfectly with the traditional motor racing community”.
Celebrity friends, extravagant fashion sense, ‘bling’ jewellery, plentiful tattoos, his spiritualism, reactions which sometimes appear over the top, the negative picture he paints of his hometown Stevenage, his Anglo-American accent — all have been used as ammunition by his detractors.
His ‘detached’ manner also fires up his critics.
“It’s not in the tradition of British sporting heroes to be so removed,” wrote the Daily Mail’s F1 reporter, John McEvoy.
For some, it was Hamilton’s conversion to all things green and veganism in 2017 that jarred, coming from someone who criss-crosses the globe in a private jet — since sold — and spends much of his time behind the wheel of gas-guzzling F1 machines.

McEvoy wrote in the Mail in July: “The chief accusation against Hamilton is one of hypocrisy on several fronts.
“Many F1 insiders have heard enough of Hamilton’s self-righteous preaching.”
F1’s first black driver has this season pressed for greater diversity in the paddock, a stance sparked by his vocal support for the Black Lives Matter movement. He spoke out about the killing of George Floyd when no one else in his sport would and won widespread support for his stance.
But some observers have noted that his tone can sometimes be perceived as preaching and “can rub people the wrong way”.
His critics might not agree, but for many, like fellow British driver Lando Norris, Hamilton should be honoured, not criticised.
“There is only one other person in the whole world who has achieved what he has — and that’s Michael Schumacher,” the McLaren rookie said.
“He has led the way in many aspects — on the track, but also off it.
“A lot of athletes who have done such things in other sports have got knighthoods so I see no reason why he shouldn’t.
“It’s a good thing for kids who want to get into racing or who don’t know much about racing to be inspired by him and, obviously, try to achieve similar things.”
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is self-isolating after someone he was in contact with tested positive for the coronavirus, a spokesman said Sunday.
“He will carry on working from Downing Street, including on leading the Government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic,” the Downing Street spokesman added.
His confinement comes as negotiations with the European Union over Brexit enter a decisive final sprint, with critical announcements being trailed — ahead of Johnson’s isolation — by Downing Street to tackle the virus.
The prime minister was informed that he should self-isolate after being contacted by the country’s Test and Trace scheme.
Johnson was hospitalised with the coronavirus in April. This time around, “the PM is well and does not have any symptoms of Covid-19”, the spokesman said.
A source added that Johnson, who was severely affected during the earlier bout, feels “good” and that the PM would continue to work, “in particular to lead the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic”.
Downing Street has not said how long Johnson will be in isolation for. However, the UK National Health Service rules state individuals should isolate for 14 days.

The PM intends to address the country during his confinement, Downing Street said.
The announcement came after Johnson met a small group of MPs at Downing Street on Thursday for around 35 minutes, including one who subsequently developed symptoms of Covid-19 and has now tested positive.
Johnson’s self-isolation risks upsetting a busy week as the UK enters its third week of reimposed restrictions and the PM was due to chair a series of key Covid-19 meetings.
The renewed stay-at-home restrictions and business closures came into force earlier this month and have been met with scepticism that they can halt the worst death toll from the virus in Europe.
The UK is supposed to be returning to a regionalised approach — lifting the sweeping lockdown currently in place — from December 2.
But the country remains hard hit, recording more than 50,000 deaths linked to the coronavirus from over 1.3 million positive cases.
Johnson, 56, spent three nights in intensive care when he got Covid-19, later crediting hospital staff with saving his life.
The British leader has said that his coronavirus case was seriously worsened by being overweight, but that he had since lost 26 pounds (12 kilograms).
“I am going to continue that diet, because you’ve got to search for the hero inside of yourself
“There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” a defiant Pompeo told reporters moments after announcing his trip last week.
L'îlot central du service, qui fourmille habituellement d'activité en cette deuxième vague de Covid, est déserté. Tous les soignants sont regroupés autour d'un patient intubé en train de perdre sa bataille face au virus.
"Pneumothorax", "drain", "shot d'adrénaline". Dans un souffle, le docteur Widad Abdi, médecin réanimateur, et les soignants échangent les termes médicaux de cette lutte acharnée contre le coronavirus. Les poumons de ce patient de 74 ans sont en si mauvais état que l'arrêt cardiaque peut survenir à tout moment.
