visual spectacle near the village of Carentan-Les-Marais heralded a week of ceremonies for the fast-disappearing generation of Allied troops who fought from D-Day beaches 80 years ago to Adolf Hitler\u2019s fall, helping free Europe from his tyranny.\n\nAll along the Normandy coastline \u2014 where then-young soldiers from across the United States, Britain, Canada and other Allied nations waded ashore through hails of fire on five beaches on June 6, 1944 \u2014 French officials, grateful Normandy survivors and other admirers are saying \u201cmerci\u201d but also goodbye.\n\nThe ever-dwindling number of veterans in their late nineties and older who are coming back to remember fallen friends and their history-changing exploits are the last.\n\nPart of the purpose of fireworks shows, parachute jumps, solemn commemorations and ceremonies that world leaders will attend this week is to pass the baton of remembrance to the current generations now seeing war again in Europe, in Ukraine.\n\nOn Sunday, three C-47 transport planes, a workhorse of the war, dropped three long strings of jumpers, their round chutes mushrooming open in the blue skies with puffy white clouds, to whoops from the huge crowd that was regaled by tunes from Glenn Miller and Edith Piaf as they waited.\n\nRussia's President Putin not invited\n\nU.S. President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy both attended for the D-Day events. \n\nBut Vladimir Putin did not. \n\nOrganisers confirmed back in April that the Russian president would not be invited to any commemorative events, due to the country\u2019s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. \n\nDuring a press briefing on Thursday, a representative of the French presidency confirmed Russia's absence, suggesting the mere suggestion was stoking tensions between France and allied nations.\n\n\"Russia has not been invited. The conditions for its participation are not there given the war of aggression launched in February 2022, which has only increased these last weeks,\" they said.\n\nThere have also been reports that a number of EU member states had said they would have felt \u201cuneasy\u201d if Putin was allowed to attend.\n\nAlso the International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on charges of responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.\n\nSome Russian representatives were allowed access though, in order to recognise the country's war-time sacrifice.\n\nMore than 150,000 Allied troops launched the air, sea and land D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944. It eventually led to the liberation of western Europe from Nazi Germany.\n\nThe then-Soviet Union lost over 25 million lives in what it calls the \u2018Great Patriotic War\u2019. \n\nThe Kremlin marks that victory with an annual military parade on Red Square in Moscow. \n\nAging veterans remember those who died\n\nDozens of World War II veterans converged on France to revisit old memories, make new ones, and hammer home a message that survivors of D-Day and the ensuing Battle of Normandy, and of other World War II theatres, have repeated time and time again \u2014 that war is hell.\n\n\u201cSeven thousand of my marine buddies were killed. Twenty thousand shot up, wounded, put on ships, buried at sea,\u201d said Don Graves, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Iwo Jima in the Pacific theatre.\n\n\u201cI want the younger people, the younger generation here to know what we did,\u201d said Graves, part of a group of more than 60 World War II veterans who flew into Paris on Saturday. \n\nThe youngest veteran in the group is 96 and the most senior 107, according to their carrier from Dallas, American Airlines.\n\n\u201cWe did our job and we came home and that\u2019s it.

In the blackout of the totally enclosed venue, it\u2019s a crowded galaxy.\n\nAs a fledgling Swiftie, I\u2019m immersed in the spectacle of it all. But I\u2019m also here to find out how this colossal arena - Europe\u2019s biggest indoor venue - operates, and whether it can possibly do so sustainably.\n\nFrom Taylor Swift to the Olympics: How does Paris La D\u00e9fense make the magic happen?\n\nParis La D\u00e9fense, named after the northwest business district where it stands in a giant U-shape, is a master of transformation.\n\nAs well as hosting megastars (kicking off with the Rolling Stones in 2017), the modular arena is home to the Racing 92 rugby union club and gets dirty for Supercross motorcycling events.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n\nBy midnight on 5 May - minutes after the last show on the first leg of Swift\u2019s European Eras tour - it went into deconstruction mode.\u00a0\n\nWhen I return the next morning, the floor is far more sparsely populated with workmen, cranes and elongated lorries: an everyday sight that accentuates its cavernous scale.\n\nIt\u2019s mind-boggling to imagine, but a 50-metre swimming pool is being built here as the arena prepares for its next role as Olympic and Paralympic Games host this summer.\u00a0\n\nThe keys of France\u2019s only fully privately funded arena were handed over to Paris 2024 on 15 May and the Olympics team will spend the next five months inside, working 24\/7. The iconic rings are going up next week.\n\nHow is Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena getting greener?\n\nThe arena is aiming to reduce its energy consumption by 40 per cent and achieve an 80 per cent recycling rate by 2025.\n\nHigh-tech thermal and acoustic insulation helps limit its energy needs, by ensuring consistent temperatures of around 16-25C. Instead of conventional air conditioning, it relies on a cold water system that releases chilled water vapour to keep spectators cool.\n\nOn its massive roof, capable of handling 250 tonnes of weight, 34 solar panels are powering an adjoining brewery.\n\nThe building also collects rainwater - funnelling it into an 800-metre cubed storage tank under the car park. This is used to water the (currently covered) lawn, which despite being synthetic needs to be kept slick to reduce rugby player burns and injuries.\u00a0\n\nAs for waste management, Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena has had its own on-site waste sorting centre since May 2022, where it sifts through trash to ensure more is sent off for recycling. It has stopped Racing 92 and its rivals from using plastic water bottles.\n\nThe arena is about to get a lot wetter, of course. Two Olympic swimming pools are being built - the second behind a temporary curtain dividing the interior in half for athlete training purposes. As per the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regulations, the pools have to be 2.3 metres high (the bottom 20cm are used for underwater cameras) and it will take three days to fill them.\u00a0\n\nOnce the swimmers have thrashed it out, this water is set to be channelled into La D\u00e9fense district\u2019s heating network, the arena team says. By another feat of engineering, the pools will be divided into 25-metre units and moved to local community centres.\n\nHow sustainable is a Taylor Swift-sized show?\n\nTaylor Swift is gigantic. \u201cSometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby \/ And I\u2019m a monster on a hill,\u201d the billionaire sings in her self-portrait Anti-Hero. \u201cToo big to hang out \/ Slowly lurching toward your favourite city\u201d - or sometimes speeding in via private jet.\n\nEurope\u2019s largest indoor venue is a fitting space for the megastar and her legions of sexy babies. As is London\u2019s Wembley Stadium, and Berlin\u2019s Olympiastadium.\u00a0\n\nBut such huge events attract a lot of attention and criticism. Swift\u2019s UK Eras stint will use enough energy to power 194 UK homes for a year, according to utilities comparison site Love Energy Savings.\u00a0\n\nSo how can the desire of stars to create ever more spectacular shows align with the demands of the climate and ecological crises to make venues less resource-intensive?\n\n\u201cPart of the issue is that we have now raised the bar to such an extent that audiences expect levels of production that create a 'show' rather than a 'gig',\u201d says Lewis Jamieson, co-executive director at UK-based campaign group Music Declares Emergency.\n\nFrom a fan experience point of view, innovations in light and sound have led to what he calls an \u201carms race\u201d in production.\u00a0\n\nSince few of us would want to give up one of life\u2019s greatest pleasures - whether that\u2019s seeing Swift or another big artist - what\u2019s the solution?\n\nHow can big stadium shows be more sustainable?\n\n\u201cWithout wishing to pass the buck, many of the greatest challenges in live music are outside of the sector's control,\u201d adds Jamieson.\n\nTransport is the biggest one for the touring party, he says. HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) -powered lorries are a \u201cgreat first step,\u201d but these and future EV fleets need government support to incentivise tours away from more polluting forms of travel.\n\nArtists often get a bad rap for flying, though - as Jamieson points out - it's less impactful than audiences flying en masse to see their favourite performer if they don\u2019t travel to them.\u00a0\n\nA phenomenon of Swift\u2019s hyper fandom (and inflated US ticket prices) meant that a lot of US fans have in fact flown to Europe to see her. Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena estimates that Americans made up 20 per cent of her spectators last month.\u00a0\n\nBut around 80 per cent of people arrived at the Paris shows on the day via public transport, the arena calculated from its control room.\u00a0\n\nThe greatest challenge for the show itself remains audience travel, so, globally, \u201cconnecting venues to zero carbon transport is an obvious need here,\u201d says Jameison.\n\nRather than look to limit performers, the campaigner thinks venues should do what they can in-house: switching to renewable power; removing plastic and handling waste better; introducing ticketless systems; creating green spaces and increasing low carbon food options.\n\nLondon\u2019s O2 arena has ticked a lot of boxes; removing beef burgers after Billie Eilish\u2019s run and never returning them, for example, while achieving an impressive recycling rate.\n\nParis La D\u00e9fense Arena is getting a lot of things right too.

legendary red room of the Z\u00e9nith concert hall in Paris, which has welcomed the likes of AC\/DC, Lady Gaga, and David Bowie, is starting to fill up slowly.\u00a0\n\nBetween 3,000 and 4,000 people gathered on Thursday evening to see the European elections candidate representing the French Socialist Party (PS-PP), 44-year-old essayist Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann.\u00a0\n\nThe young and old

Smoke billows over the city, a grey backdrop for the colourful flags flown by the Indigenous Kanak people as they take to the streets in protest. \n\nIt\u2019s 15 May, and the French Pacific territory is gripped by riots, violence and at least six deaths,\u00a0a crisis kicked off by a constitutional change taking place over 16,000 kilometres away. \n\nIn the coming days, hundreds of French gendarmes will attempt to put out the flames. \n\nMay's sometimes deadly clashes were triggered by French President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s attempts to change the French constitution and alter the membership of voting lists in the occupied territory. And while the state of emergency \u00a0imposed to stop the violence has been lifted, the smoking ruins and a bad feeling of the conflict remain. \n\nThe spark \n\nCurrently, only Kanaks and those who arrived from France before 1998 can cast their ballots in elections\u00a0\u2014 something Macron wants to change. About 40,000 French citizens have moved to New Caledonia since 1998. \n\nBut New Zealand-based University of Canterbury senior lecturer David Small told Euronews that the impetus for the conflict stretches further back than recent political events, with \u201ca lot of bloodshed and a lot of suffering\u201d. \n\nThe saga began with the 1988 Matignon accord, said Small, who has a relationship with the Kanaky Aotearoa Solidarity group. This was followed up by the Noum\u00e9a accord in 1998, which aimed to establish New Caledonian autonomy over a 20-year transition period.\u00a0 \n\nA referendum on independence was ultimately held in 2018, ending with a vote in favour of the status quo. \n\nMacron scrapped the accord last year, reportedly because the third New Caledonian independence referendum\u00a0\u2014 marred by controversy and boycotts \u00a0\u2014 yielded another \"no\" victory in 2021. \n\nSmall said that these events signalled to the Kanak people that they \u201cdon\u2019t decide on anything\u201d, spurring them into open protest. \n\n\u201cFrance decides,\u201d he said. \u201cFrance decided to pull the plug [on independence]. France pulled the plug because of colonisation.\u201d \n\nFire in the belly \n\nAt the start of May, young people took to the palm-tree-lined streets to demonstrate against Macron\u2019s proposed changes. They were \u201cangry with France\u201d, Small said, and \u201cfrustrated\u201d with Kanak leaders whom they considered \u201ctoo conciliatory\u201d in their dealings with Paris. \n\n\u201cThey could have accepted France if it delivered the goods, but now they have delivered nothing,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt's been really hard to restore that calm.\u201d \n\nSmall points out that Kanak's standards of living are still extremely poor. According to the 2019 census, 32.5% of Indigenous Kanaks\u00a0\u2014 who make up 41% of the region\u2019s total population \u2014 live in poverty.\u00a0That is more than three times the poverty rate among New Caledonia's mostly Caucasian non-Kanak inhabitants. \n\nKanak people are also reportedly \u00a0far more likely to come into contact with the justice system. \n\n\u201cEverybody knows people who have been in prison,\u201d Small said. \n\nIn 2011, New Caledonia was visited by the UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples, James Anaya. After her nine-day excursion, she\u00a0 reported \u00a0hearing \u201crepeated expressions of frustration\u201d from the Kanak people \u201cabout ongoing patterns of discrimination, limitations on the exercise of their customary rights, poor social and economic conditions, and [a] lack of adequate participation in decisions affecting them in many respects.\u201d \n\nWhat now? \n\nThe French prosecutor in New Caledonia said authorities have opened an investigation into the unrest. This comes after Macron lifted the state of emergency to help facilitate dialogue between local parties and the French government about the future of the territory and to restore peace to its 270,000 inhabitants. \n\nPro-independence parties and Kanak leaders have also urged Macron to withdraw the electoral reform bill if France wants to bring the crisis to an end.\u00a0 \n\nBut Small warned that there is a \u201cshockingly right-wing racist core\u201d among the settler population in New Caledonia, which he estimates would make up at least two-thirds of the recent (96%) anti-independence referendum vote. \n\nAs he sees it, these individuals are loyal to the European power and not the Indigenous population. They are the ones keeping New Caledonia within the colonial giant\u2019s grasp. \n\nBut if the French government relies too heavily on these loyalists to obstruct the Kanak desire for self-determination, he said, \u201cthe chaos will remain\u201d. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The gutted remains of six cars smoulder in a parking lot in Noum\u00e9a, capital of the South Pacific archipelago of New Caledonia.

What's new about it? What space adventures await? \n\nEuronews' Marta Rodr\u00edguez Mart\u00ednez and David Walsh travel to the European space station in Kourou, French Guiana, to learn all about it. \n\nAriane 6: What's New? \n\nThe last Ariane 5 rocket completed its final mission on July 5, 2023, after 27 years in service. The development of its successor Ariane 6 began almost a decade ago . \n\n\"During those nine years in which we developed Ariane 6, we introduced changes with a prime contractor and the industrialist to better serve evolving needs,\" explains Luc\u00eda Linares, the European Space Agency's Head of Strategy and Institutional Launches. \n\n\"That's the life of a means of transport to space or on Earth\". \n\nSo, how different is Ariane 6 from its predecessor? \n\nVersatility is the key attribute emphasised by officials in Kourou. Ariane 6 needs to be highly adaptable to compete in a market disrupted by Elon Musk\u2019s company SpaceX. \n\nSpaceX's reusable rockets represent a major milestone in the space industry, making space travel more accessible and efficient by reducing costs. \n\n\"We can fly with three recognisable engines in three different missions. We have special equipment on board, the so-called APU (Auxiliary Power Unit), that helps us reignite the engine and bring our customers to completely different points in space and deliver them there,\" says Jens Franzeck, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of ArianeGroup. \n\n\"This is a huge difference. The missions will be longer, more versatile, and sometimes more complex. And this is where we want to go\". \n\nAriane 6 can also operate with two or four boosters, depending on the thrust, orbit, and payload of the mission in question. Each booster, developed to flank the core, weighs 153 tons. \n\n\"Moving from Ariane 4 to Ariane 5 was a significant step because Ariane 4 used storable propellants, while Ariane 5 used liquid hydrogen and oxygen. This made the launch base for Ariane 5 completely different from that of Ariane 4, which caused many difficulties,\" says Jean-Michel Rizzi, Ariane 6 Launch Base Manager at ESA. \n\n\"However, the processes for Ariane 6 are almost identical to those of Ariane 5,\" he said. \n\nA Made in Europe \n\nUp to thirteen European countries, led by France, have collaborated on the development of Ariane 6.\u00a0 \n\nItalian aerospace companies have provided propulsion systems. Belgium's science policy office, BELSPO, and Belgian companies have contributed their expertise in areas such as telecommunications and satellite technology.\u00a0 \n\nSpanish companies have been involved in structural components and ground support equipment.\u00a0 \n\nSwiss companies have contributed precision engineering and components to the Ariane 6 programme, particularly in areas such as guidance and navigation systems.\u00a0 \n\nDutch companies have provided expertise in areas such as avionics and payload integration for Ariane 6 missions. \n\nThe giant rockets are back \n\nThe year 2024 is poised to be a landmark in the history of space exploration, with Ariane 6 joining an elite class of powerful rockets preparing to leave Earth. \n\nOn March 6, NASA successfully completed the sixth of 12 scheduled RS-25 engine certification tests for the Space Launch System (SLS), a pivotal component of the Artemis programme.\u00a0 \n\nThis launcher is central to NASA's ambitions to return humans to the Moon and eventually conduct crewed missions to Mars. \n\nMeanwhile, Elon Musk's SpaceX also has its sights set on lunar exploration. The company plans to conduct the fourth flight test of its Starship mega-rocket in June.\u00a0 \n\nThis colossal rocket is essential for SpaceX\u2019s goal to send both equipment and humans to the Moon and, ultimately, to Mars, reinforcing its vision of making humanity a multi-planetary species. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>What&#039;s Ariane 6 like?

increased its prices on Tuesday for new customers in France in response to the government's 'streaming tax'. \n\nThe monthly premium subscription will be raised by 13 cents to \u20ac11.12, while the family plan will rise to \u20ac18.21 a month, a 22 cent increase.

an anti-Green Deal wind blows over the European elections of 9 June, the EU must remain a key driver in the fight against climate change.\u00a0 \n\nThe next mandate will be essential to ensure that the ambition of the Green Deal bears fruit, enabling the decarbonisation of the European economy while strengthening the EU\u2019s international competitiveness.\u00a0 \n\nThis also means paying particular attention to citizens\u2019 acceptance by ensuring that each and every one of us benefits from the energy transition. \n\nClimate change and geopolitical shifts demand a strong answer from Europe. \n\nThe energy crisis in 2021-2022 reminded us that energy supply dependencies carry significant risks. Resilience and energy sovereignty must remain a priority as a resilient energy sector makes Europe stronger and more independent in its decision-making.\u00a0 \n\nThis means reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, strengthening our renewable and low-carbon production capacities, further decarbonising and electrifying our economy and preparing our grid infrastructure for this major shift. \n\nInterconnectivity is key to European energy sovereignty \n\nThe European internal energy market has proven to be the pillar of a reliable and increasingly decarbonised energy supply across the EU.\u00a0 \n\nWith a growing share of renewable and low-carbon electricity in the system, coupled with the need to reduce the share of fossil fuels in final consumption, its role will only continue to grow, ensuring that electricity is always produced where it is the cheapest and most decarbonised and allowing us to maintain our European energy sovereignty, also thanks to new investments.\u00a0 \n\nThis asset must be preserved and strengthened by further deepening cooperation at the EU level. \n\nEven if we have different national energy mixes reflecting different choices on how to decarbonise our economies, these differences are a strength rather than a weakness because they complement each other. To meet their specific needs, Germany and France exchange electricity.\u00a0 \n\nIn 2022, France imported 5.5 TWh of electricity from Germany, while Germany imported 9.3TWh of electricity from France in 2023.\u00a0 \n\nSuch interconnections increase the security of supply by compensating for eventual fluctuations in electricity generation or transmission and enable electricity suppliers to sell energy to a customer in another EU country.\u00a0 \n\nHowever, European energy cooperation can only work efficiently if we have a high degree of interconnectivity. \n\nGiven the strong industrial clusters on both sides of the Rhine that need to be decarbonised, we propose a stronger Franco-German cooperation on interconnectivity in line with the potential for exchanges between the two countries. \n\nStrong energy sector, more competitive Europe \n\nA strong European energy sector also means a more competitive Europe. \n\nIndustrial competitiveness is closely linked to Europe\u2019s energy transition.

Monday, the eight main French candidates for the European elections took to the French news channel BFMTV stage to participate in a heated debate less than two weeks before the 9 June vote. \n\nThe candidates discussed divisive themes such as immigration, defence, and agriculture late into the night, often attacking and cutting each other off.\u00a0 \n\nNational Rally's Jordan Barella\u00a0\u2014 who's leading in the pre-election polls with 33% \u2014 and Val\u00e9rie Hayer, representing French President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance (16%), were joined by\u00a0 Rapha\u00ebl Glucksmann from the French socialist Place Publique (14.5%), Manon Aubry from the far-left La France Insoumise LFI (7%), Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Bellamy from the conservative Les R\u00e9publicains (LR) also hovering at 7%, Marion Marechal from the far-right Reconqu\u00eate (6%), Marie Toussaint from the Green party (5.5%) and\u00a0the Communist party's L\u00e9on Deffontaines (2%). \n\nHere are the highlights and main themes that were debated.\u00a0 \n\nInflation and agriculture \n\nHayer spent most of her time defending the government's track record.\u00a0 \n\nWhile the rest of the candidates blamed her and Macron for rising inflation, MEP Hayer insisted the crisis was due to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. \n\nFar-right candidate Bardella said he proposes for France \"to get out of the pricing regulation at European level\", particularly for energy prices. \n\nThe communist candidate Deffontaines stressed that inflation is the \u201cprimary concern\u201d of the French and lashed out at the far-right and Renaissance for not having enough concrete measures to help voters in their EU program.\u00a0 \n\nSocialist Glucksmann proposed reforming the common agricultural policy (CAP) to support small farmers and pleaded for a tax on the highest incomes in Europe.\u00a0 \n\nHayer took the floor to defend the common agricultural policy, ensuring that it provided significant financial support to French farmers.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cOur farmers are dying, particularly from punitive ecological measures, which is inspired by the Green Deal,\" replied Bardella, who wants to get rid of \"restrictive measures\" for farmers.\u00a0 \n\nThe conservative candidate Bellamy also criticised some green measures imposed by the EU for restricting farmers' jobs.\u00a0 \n\nThe topic of agriculture is key since farmers' protests have rocked the EU and France\u00a0since December 2023.\u00a0 \n\nEnd of diesel cars and war in Ukraine \n\nThe right-wing MEP Bellamy expressed his opposition to the ban of diesel cars by 2035 (an EU Parliament decision), calling it a \u201cgift to the Chinese leader Xi Jinping's regime\u201d, fearing increased dependence on Chinese technology, the current leader for the production of electric vehicles. \n\nMarion Mar\u00e9chal, from the smaller far-right party Reconqu\u00eate, also criticised the decision, claiming the production of EEVs will create a mining dependence on African countries instead of giving jobs to French citizens.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\nToussaint, the head of the Green party (EELV), is in favour of this measure, but she defended her party's program of introducing strict environmental standards for the mining of minerals needed to produce EEVs (such as cobalt).\u00a0 \n\nHayer argued that the production of EEVs could be \"an industrial opportunity for France,\" creating more jobs. \n\nTwo years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the eight politicians debated over France's and the EU's role in the conflict. \n\nThe first to speak on the subject, Mar\u00e9chal condemned the Russian invasion but warned against a military escalation, claiming that supporting Kyiv must not mean waging war in its place\u201d.\u00a0 \n\nGlucksmann criticised Europe for not supporting Ukraine enough militarily and proposed seizing frozen Russian assets to bolster European support. \n\nBardella and Aubry both agreed that they were against sending long-range missiles to Kyiv. \n\nPalestine recognition and immigration \n\n\"Would you recognise the existence of a Palestinian state?\" asked the journalist moderating the debate.\u00a0 \n\nThree European states\u2014Spain, Ireland, and Norway\u2014announced last week that they would formally recognise the Palestinian state. \n\nStuttering, Hayer said she was \"in favour of the two-state solution\" but believed that \"the conditions are not met,\" echoing the French government's stance on the issue. \n\nAubry, who has been campaigning on the recognition of Palestine, declared it needs to be done, especially after seeing the images of the deadly Israeli strike on Rafah on Monday.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\n\u201cI will end up believing that Gaza is in Europe because Ms Aubry talks about it every day,\u201d mocked Mar\u00e9chal, accusing the far-left of causing a \u201crise of anti-Semitic acts in our country\".\u00a0 \n\nBardella opposed the idea, arguing that \"recognising a Palestinian state today would mean legitimising the Islamist Hamas.\" \n\nFor her part, Toussaint supported the recognition of Palestine, while conservative Bellamy concluded that \u201crecognising Palestine would mean vindicating those who unleashed the hell of 7 October.\"\u00a0 \n\nThe controversial subject of immigration led to the most heated part of the debate.\u00a0 \n\nBellamy called to build \u201cphysical barriers\u201d at some of Europe\u2019s borders to fight against illegal immigration. \n\nBardella mentioned his idea of a \"double border\" in the EU, wanting to restrict free movement within the Schengen area to European nationals only. \n\nGlucksmann criticised Bardella's plan, claiming it would lead to \u201cchaos in Europe, ending any free movement\". \n\n","htmlText":"<p>On Monday, the eight main French candidates for the European elections took to the French news channel BFMTV stage to participate in a heated debate less than two

independence leader in New Caledonia has called on supporters to \u201cremain mobilised\u201d across the French Pacific archipelago.\u00a0 \n\nChristian Tein, who heads the pro-independence party The Field Action Coordination Unit, called for \"resistance\" to Paris-imposed\u00a0 electoral reforms, which the indigenous Kanak people fear will further marginalise them. \n\nTein made the comments in a video, posted \u00a0on social media after he and other pro-independence leaders recently met with French President Emmanuel Macron. \n\nPolitical unrest has flared up in New Caledonia, with protesters erecting make-shift barricades on roads across the territory.\u00a0 \n\nSeven people have been killed so far amid a trail of destruction.\u00a0 \n\nMacron has repeatedly pushed for the disruptive barricades to be removed, imposing a 12-day state of emergency in the archipelago on 15 May.\u00a0 \n\n'Too much suffering' \n\nIn the video message, Tein called on protesters to \u201cslightly loosen the grip\u201d on the barricades in and around the capital Noumea and on the archipelago's main roads in order to transport fuel, food and medicine.\u00a0 \n\nBut Tein insisted the barricades would remain in place until French authorities lift house arrest warrants for several of his party members, and Macron's government scraps the electoral reform that Kanaks claim will dilute their influence by allowing some more recent arrivals in the archipelago to vote in local elections. \n\n\u201cWe remain mobilised (and) maintain all (forms) of resistance,\" Tein said, urging supporters to refrain from violence.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cThere has been too much suffering, there\u2019s too much at stake and we must see (this) through (and) achieve our goals in a coordinated, structured and organised way.\u201d\u00a0 \n\n\u201cOur main objective is for our country to obtain full sovereignty,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\nIndependence in New Caledonia is a contested issue.\u00a0 \n\nThree referendums organised by French authorities between 2018 and 2021 produced \u201cno\u201d votes against independence, though the pro-independence camp boycotted the last vote in December 2021. \n\n\nMacron said another one could be on a new political deal for the archipelago that he hopes local leaders will agree on in the coming weeks and months.\u00a0 \n\nThat's only if

And the awards this year reflect this varied group of films.\u00a0 \n\nBaker dedicated his Palme to \u201call sex workers \u2013 past, present and future\u201d. It is a kinetic New York City screwball comedy that shares the chaotic energy of the Safdie brothers\u2019 Uncut Gems - a modern fairytale spin on Pretty Woman that doubles as a gut-punch tragedy about those who society chooses to marginalise and sets up to fail. The film drew attention for breakout performer Mikey Madison, and it\u2019s a deserving prize for such a joyful and deceptively bleak film. \n\nIt is also worth mentioning that Anora was bought by US studio NEON, who have now won the Palme d\u2019Or five consecutive times in a row after Parasite , Titane , Triangle of Sadness and Anatomy of a Fall . Considering the deals were struck before the festival, Anora \u2019s win once again makes them the official Palme d\u2019Or whisperers. \n\nRead our full review of Anora. \n\nSee the full winners list below. \n\nThe Grand Prix, the runner-up prize, went to All We Imagine As Light , the mesmerizing film by Payal Kapadia. A late-screened film about the connections between three Mumbai women of different ages is the first Indian film in Cannes Competition in 30 years \u2013 the last being Shaji Karun\u2019s Swaham in 1994. \n\nFrench director Jacques Audiard won big this year, with his film Emilia P\u00e9rez winning two prizes - a rarity in Cannes, as films tend to only win one prize.\u00a0 \n\nEmilia P\u00e9rez won both the Jury Prize and the Best Actress prize, which was attributed to the ensemble cast of this Spanish-language musical: Zo\u00e9 Salda\u00f1a, Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n, Selena Gomez, and cast. Gasc\u00f3n becomes the first transgender actress to win an acting prize in Cannes; she dedicated the award to the trans community.\u00a0 \n\nAudiard previously won the Palme d\u2019Or in 2015 for Dheepan , and these two awards are richly deserved. The jury decision announced by Lily Gladstone said the film celebrated \u201cthe harmony of sisterhood\u201d. \n\nRead our review of Emilia P\u00e9rez. \n\nThe Best Director prize, presented by the great Wim Wenders , went to Portuguese director Miguel Gomes, for his poetic fever dream Grand Tour , about a British civil servant who flees his fianc\u00e9e by hopping from one Asian country to the next. She attempts to track him down. It's hard to get on Grand Tour 's wavelength; however, patience yields rewards, as the film blends black-and-white segments with contemporary anthropological scenes, and culminates in a surprising and moving way. \n\nThe jury created a special award \u2013 the Special Jury Prize - this year to honour Mohammad Rasoulof for his film The Seed of the Sacred Fig . The Iranian film was tipped as one of the favourites for the Palme d\u2019Or and garnered the most enthusiastic reactions from attendees \u2013 as well as the longest-standing ovation at 15 minutes. However, it ended up with this special award. Rasoulof\u2019s win was met with a standing ovation in the Theatre Lumi\u00e8re, where the director mentioned his cast and crew who are detained in Iran, those \u201cwho remain under the watchful eye of the totalitarian Iranian regime, which holds my people hostage.\u201d The director also mentioned musician Toomaj Salehi, who has been sentenced to death in Iran for supporting nationwide protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini. \n\nRead our full review of The Seed of the Sacred Fig. \n\nJesse Plemons won Best Actor for his triple role in Yorgos L\u00e1nthimos\u2019 anthology film Kinds of Kindness . Sadly, the actor was not in attendance. \n\nAs we stated in our review: \u201cThe cast throughout are brilliant, with Plemons stealing the show, especially in the first two segments. Getting noticeably thinner with each chapter, he nails pathos, insecurity and menace, and makes it all look like a walk in the park. It\u2019s like he\u2019s been working with L\u00e1nthimos his whole life - and he may yet do, as both he and Stone have been confirmed as starring in L\u00e1nthimos\u2019 next film, Bugonia .\u201d \n\nRead our full review of Kinds of Kindness. \n\nBest Screenplay, presented by French actor Laurent Lafitte (who did a ChatGPT gag, at the expense of the AI platform to better celebrate the craft of screenwriting), was awarded to \u201cthe bold beautifully bonkers\u201d The Substance by French director Coralie Fargeat. The director thanked lead actress Demi Moore and stressed how proud she was of the fruit of their collaboration. \n\nThe film, which many predicted to win a bigger prize during the ceremony, is a standout in this year\u2019s Competition, a wild and gory ride. \n\nIn our review, we wrote: \u201cIn showing how the entertainment industry pushes women to extremes in order to remain employable, Frageat explores society\u2019s impossible beauty standards, how certain medical industries weaponize their fetishization of youth for profit, as well as the internalised hatred stemming from systemic misogyny. It may not go particularly deep, but the savage form emphatically mirrors the content; the violence of disappearing in society\u2019s eyes and the self-loathing that decries from this external trauma becoming internalised can only be expressed in an equally vicious way.\u201d \n\nRead our full review of The Substance. \n\nAll in all, a merited set of winners, with few upsets or major surprises, and a standing ovation for George Lucas, who was honoured this year with an honorary Palme - given to him by Francis Ford Coppola. \n\nThe full list of winners: \n\n\u2022 Palme d\u2019Or: Anora (Sean Baker) \n\n\u2022 Grand Prix: All We Imagine As Light (Payal Kapadia) \n\n\u2022 Jury Prize: Emilia P\u00e9rez (Jacques Audiard) \n\n\u2022 Special Jury Prize: The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Mohammad Rasoulof) \n\n\u2022 Best Director: Miguel Gomes (Grand Tour) \n\n\u2022 Best Actress: Ensemble for Emilia P\u00e9rez (Zo\u00e9 Salda\u00f1a, Karla Sof\u00eda Gasc\u00f3n, Selena Gomez and cast) \n\n\u2022 Best Actor: Jesse Plemons (Kinds of Kindness) \n\n\u2022 Best Screenplay: The Substance (Coralie Fargeat) \n\nOther prizes: \n\n\u2022 Camera d\u2019Or: Armand (Halfdan Ullmann T\u00f8ndel) \n\n\u2022 Camera d\u2019Or Special Mention: Mongrel (Chiang Wei Liang and You Qiao Yin) \n\n\u2022 Short Film Palme d\u2019Or: The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent (Neboj\u0161a Slijepcevic) \n\n\u2022 Short Film Special Mention: Bad For A Moment (Daniel Soares) \n\nClick here for our full Cannes coverage , including news, reviews, videos and interviews. \n\nStay tuned to Euronews Culture for a full debrief of the winning films and the key takeaways from this year\u2019s 77th edition. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The 77th <strong><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//tag//cannes-film-festival/">Cannes Film Festival<\/a><\/strong> has come to a close and American film <em><strong><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//05//22//cannes-2024-review-anora-sean-bakers-kinetic-take-on-pretty-woman-is-fantastic/">Anora by Sean Baker has won this year\u2019s Palme d\u2019Or.<\/p>\n<p>A favourite amongst audiences on the Croisette this year (and our top pick to win the Palme), <em>Anora<\/em> is Baker\u2019s latest film following his Cannes-premiering films <em>The Florida Project<\/em> and <em>Red Rocket<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Jury, presided over by actor-director Greta Gerwig, selected <em>Anora<\/em> from 22 films in Competition this year \u2013 a particularly eclectic and vibrant selection.

It may not go particularly deep, but the savage form emphatically mirrors the content; the violence of disappearing in society\u2019s eyes and the self-loathing that decries from this external trauma

You just have time for a coffee and you're ready to go,\" Xpeng France spokesman Thomas Rodier told Euronews Next. \n\nThe manufacturer already has a presence in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Germany, and is arriving in France in June where it hopes to open 55 dealerships by 2025. \n\nSome industry experts believe that Chinese electric vehicles in Europe could pose tough competition for European manufacturers in the coming years. \n\n\"We're coming up with a technology that's much more advanced than what's available in Europe, where we've been stuck with combustion engines for many years,\" explained Rodier. \n\n\"In 2009, the Chinese government decided that there should only be electric vehicles. They are 15 years ahead of Europe,\" said Jean-Briac Dalibard, spokesperson for BYD France. \n\nBYD, China's number one car manufacturer for 11 consecutive years, has chosen to present a hybrid model at VivaTech. BYD is already present in 21 countries across the continent. It will also be an official sponsor of UEFA Euro 2024 tournament. \n\nAsked whether European manufacturers were afraid of the arrival of BYD on the old continent, Dalibard said \"they can be both scared and happy, because we are also supplying batteries for international brands, so it's a good thing for them as well\u201d. \n\nThe 100,000-engineer brand is showcasing its BLADE II (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery technology at VivaTech, which BYD considers to be \"one of the most secure batteries on the market\". It already equips a number of manufacturers, including Mercedes. \n\nFewer emissions from air travel \n\nOne device is not going unnoticed at this year\u2019s event: the electric flying taxi from the German company Volocopter, which still hopes to fly passengers during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. \n\nThese are expected to be test flights only. But the manufacturer, chosen by A\u00e9roports de Paris (ADP) to provide shuttle services between the four recently-built Parisian so-called \u201cvertiports,\u201d still awaits the necessary authorisations to begin commercial flights. \n\nAircraft manufacturer Airbus, which outperformed Boeing in 2023, is presenting a taxi assistance system in the form of a truck fitted with an A350 cockpit, designed to test the future autonomy of aircraft on the ground. \n\n\"If you are coming from 20,000 aircraft today to 40,000 aircraft in a few years from now, we need to take care of the congestion at airports,\" Michael Augello, CEO of Airbus Upnext, told Euronews Next. \n\nThe Optimate programme is presented as a support for pilots and operators, but there is no question of autonomy in flight for the moment. \n\nAirbus is also enjoying the show to highlight its decarbonisation programme. The manufacturer aims to market its first hydrogen-powered aircraft in 2035. \n\n\"We have a clear roadmap. We are investing heavily into getting the infrastrucutre and the technology. We are believing in that and we are making significant efforts to keep on advancing,\" said Augello. \n\nTo decarbonise its fleet, Airbus has signed a multitude of partnerships. It has recently joined forces with the French energy company Qair to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in France by 2030, a project costing some \u20ac800 million. \n\n\"For low-emission cars, we won't do any better than electric. We can imagine hydrogen-powered aircraft by 2050, but there are still a large number of challenges,\" said J\u00e9r\u00f4me Billerey, senior consultant and former Managing Director France at Qair. \n\nHydrogen as a carbon-free solution \n\nBillerey mentioned the need to minimise energy loss during electrolysis, or to produce and store hydrogen at a competitive price. \n\nOne of the solutions favoured by certain companies is that of e-fuels obtained through the combination of green hydrogen and CO2. \n\nQair has started building a major hydrogen plant in southern France, where it is also planning to launch a large offshore wind farm. The company also plans to produce green hydrogen in Brazil and Iceland. \n\n\"The idea is to bring to the European market hydrogen that will be needed in the very near future at a competitive price,\" explained Frans Schuman, Group Communication Director at Qair. \n\n\"You may not like electric power because of the batteries, you may not like hydrogen because it's difficult to store, but the truth is that to decarbonise, we're going to have to rely on these two vectors over the next few decades. We're lucky in that we can produce them using renewable energies,\" added Billerey. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Over the years, VivaTech technology fair in Paris has established itself as an important event for car manufacturers looking to raise their profile on the European market.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla has chosen it this year to present its Cybertruck, recently launched in the United States but has not yet been authorised in France.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 5-metre-long behemoth had to make the journey to the show in an even larger truck.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese electric car manufacturers have also confirmed their European ambitions for 2024 with a considerable presence in Paris.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"8456628\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2024//05//24//vivatech-2024-how-ready-are-companies-and-countries-for-an-ai-revolution/">VivaTech 2024: How ready are companies and countries for an AI revolution?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>China's ambitions in Europe<\/h2><p>Xpeng, founded by billionaire XiaoPeng and touted as a rival to Elon Musk, is showing off its G9 SUV, which it describes as a top-of-the-range \"software-based vehicle\" with an 800V battery that cuts charging time by almost half.<\/p>\n<p>\"Breaks at the gas station become painless.

not every day the sleepy town of H\u00e9nin-Beaumont in northern France sees a sea of suits taking over its small train station. \n\nIt\u2019s hard to imagine that only a 15-minute walk away, thousands of people have gathered at the local sports hall to see the darling of the far-right, European election candidate Jordan Bardella and the former National Rally leader, Marine Le Pen. \n\nAt the front of the long line snaking around the neighbourhood stand Erwann, Matheo and Cyril, 17 years old. \n\nThe schoolboys couldn\u2019t wait for class to finish to see their favourite politician. \n\n\u201cJordan Bardella attracts younger voters because he is charismatic and you see yourself in him\u201d, said Matheo, puffing on his e-cigarette. \n\n\u201cJordan gave politics a breath of fresh air and I think he'll be around for a long time,\u201d chimed in Erwann, who said the 28-year-old National Rally leader had sparked his interest in French politics. \n\nWith more than 1 million followers on TikTok, Jordan Bardella is the third most-followed French politician on the platform, highlighting his popularity with younger voters. \n\nBut not all of the boys\u2019 peers approved of their political outing.\u00a0 \n\n\"I think a lot of young people are influenced by their parents who still think the far-right automatically means racism and antisemitism but it\u2019s no longer the case. The National Rally is not what it used to be 20 years ago,\u201d explained Cyril. \n\nThe far-right party previously led by Marine Le Pen, has spent years trying to appeal to mainstream voters and de-demonising its xenophobic past. \n\nIn 2022, Le Pen stepped down as the party\u2019s president and elected her protege , Jordan Bardella, who joined the party as a teenager. \n\nMany in the crowd - even the staunchest supporters of Le Pen - agree with the choice. \n\nFrancine, 75, has voted for the National Rally for more than 40 years. She believes the 28-year-old is the right successor. \n\n\u201cHe is young, dynamic and seems to know what he wants. But I have to say his campaign program is lacking when it comes to helping disabled people\u201d said Francine, one of the few to critique the candidate\u2019s EU campaign that evening. \n\nOne thing is for sure, Marine Le Pen's choice is reaping its benefits - Bardella\u00a0is crushing the polls with 33% of voting intentions according to recent polls compared to 16% for Macron\u2019s Renaissance party, led by Val\u00e9rie Hayer. \n\nTaking the stage as the crowd chants his name, Bardella unsurprisingly attacked French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, who he called \u201cthe biggest liar in France.\u201d \n\nDuring his speech, Bardella urged the public to vote in the upcoming EU elections to defend \"the identity of France against a flood of migrants\u201d. \n\nThe choice of the town of H\u00e9nin-Beaumont for the campaign rally is not an insignificant one. It\u2019s one of the historic bastions of the far right. \n\nA major coal mining centre until the end of the 1980s, the town and more broadly Pas-de-Calais region suffered deeply from deindustrialisation and recorded some of the highest unemployment rates in France. \n\nImmigration also has a strong resonance in the region as dozens of migrants try to leave the port city of Calais to reach the British coast. \n\nJordan Bardella, who presents himself as the candidate who loves \u201cFrance and the French\u201d, has built his campaign around these themes. \n\nAn unexpected shakeup in the EU far-right \n\nJust as France\u2019s far right is posed to make big gains in the June 9 EU elections, a spat between the German far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) could rain on their parade. \n\nThe National Rally decided to exclude the AfD from their Identity & Democracy faction (ID) in the European Parliament on Thursday. \n\nThe decision came after the German lead candidate, Maximilian Krah, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that, just because a person had been a member of the SS, they were \"not automatically a criminal.\" \n\nThe unexpected shake-up means new alliances need to be made.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cWe're two weeks away from the elections and the field of possibilities is opening up to us,\u2019 said Thibaut Fran\u00e7ois, an MP in charge of European affairs for the National Rally. \n\nHe insisted the party\u2019s first objective is to expand the ID group, mentioning \u201cpromising talks\u201d with Vox, a Spanish nationalist party part of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR) group in the EU parliament. \n\nID is expected to see its numbers swell in the elections thanks to an influx of far-right MEPs from Dutch Geert Wilder\u2019s Freedom Party and the rising Chega party from Portugal. \n\nThe second strategy is to build a \u201cblocking minority of 135 MEPs to vote against texts such as the Migration Pact and the Green Deal,\u201d said Fran\u00e7ois in an interview with Euronews. \n\nBut the MP admits the possibility of a large far-right merger with ECR is \"complicated.\u201d \n\nThe ECR is considered to be somewhat more moderate and clashes with ID\u2019s views on how to deal with Russia. Both groups tried to merge a few years ago but failed. \n\nThe ECR consists of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni\u2019s Brothers of Italy party and Poland\u2019s Law and Justice (PiS), among other parties. \n\nBut the centre-right including Commission President Ursula von der Leyen believes that some of ECR\u2019s MEPs (mainly Meloni\u2019s) can be tempted to work together. \n\nAn option that is impossible for the National Rally, who refuse to work with Von der Leyen.\u00a0 \n\n\u201cOne thing is for sure: there will be a few surprises after the June 9 election,\u201d whispered Alexandre Loubet, the campaign director for Jordan Bardella. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>It\u2019s not every day the sleepy town of H\u00e9nin-Beaumont in northern France sees a sea of suits taking over its small train station.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine that only a 15-minute walk away, thousands of people have gathered at the local sports hall to see the darling of the far-right, <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//my-europe//2024//05//24//french-pm-attal-and-far-right-candidate-bardella-clash-during-eu-debate/">European election candidate Jordan Bardella<\/strong><\/a> and the former National Rally leader, Marine Le Pen.<\/p>\n<p>At the front of the long line snaking around the neighbourhood stand Erwann, Matheo and Cyril, 17 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The schoolboys couldn\u2019t wait for class to finish to see their favourite politician.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJordan Bardella attracts younger voters because he is charismatic and you see yourself in him\u201d, said Matheo, puffing on his e-cigarette.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJordan gave politics a breath of fresh air and I think he&#039;ll be around for a long time,\u201d chimed in Erwann, who said the 28-year-old National Rally leader had sparked his interest in French politics.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 1 million followers on TikTok, Jordan Bardella is the third most-followed French politician on the platform, highlighting his <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//my-europe//2024//05//25//gen-z-stakes-claim-in-european-elections/">popularity with younger voters.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But not all of the boys\u2019 peers approved of their political outing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\"I think a lot of young people are influenced by their parents who still think the far-right automatically means racism and antisemitism but it\u2019s no longer the case.

Prices, consumption patterns, location, seasonality...We process that data in order to make sure that the food is at the right point, at the right price, at the right time, to make sure it's sold,\" Julie Johansen, Too Good to Go's chief commercial officer, told Euronews Next. \n\nThe Denmark-based company claims a \"win-win-win\" approach: money for the user, profit for the company, and benefit for the planet. \n\nA UN Environment Programme report found earlier this year that households wasted over 1 billion meals a day in 2022 globally. \n\n\"We're increasingly becoming an AI and tech company. We look at dynamic pricing and analyse consumer data more and more, so that our parcels are more relevant for the consumers,\" she added. \n\nToo Good to Go has around 160,000 partners supplying food to consumers in 17 countries in Europe and North America, and will arrive in Australia soon. \n\nHeavily financed but risk of greenwashing \n\nClimate and Green Tech are among the most heavily financed systems at the moment, according to Adrien Chaltiel, co-founder of Eldorado, a French innovation financing platform. \n\n\"We know that we need new types of businesses that are not based on hyper-growth, with criteria that we don't really know yet. This will create new jobs and attract other kinds of talents,\"\u00a0Chaltiel said. \n\nWhile many companies at VivaTech are presenting solutions for reducing their carbon emissions or promoting biodiversity, there is still a high risk of greenwashing. \n\n\"One of the challenges for the Green Tech sector as it matures will be to standardise the\u00a0measurement of its environmental impact,\" said Chaltiel. \n\n\"This is much more complicated than finance, which is based on numbers\". \n\nOther start-ups seeking green solutions \n\nTenchijin, a start-up specialising in AI processing of satellite data, has set itself the mission of preventing not food waste, but water waste. \n\nUsing space imagery, the company analyses the environment around water pipes, such as humidity, temperature, and the state of the earth. It also compiles information on pipes and the history of leaks. \n\nDeep learning techniques enable Tenchijin to assess the condition of water pipes. It claims that its Japanese customers, mainly cities, have significantly reduced inspection costs. \n\n\"If we have less loss, we also reduce our need for drinking water,\" said Yuhei Urabe, Global Business Development Manager at Tenchijin. \n\nIn France, water loss in pipes averages 20 per cent, according to Urabe. \n\nThis year, the major French energy company EDF is sponsoring a 1,500 square metre space called 'Impact Bridge', that brings together start-ups and NGOs that provide environmental solutions. \n\nIn this large hall is Bioteos, which manufactures micro-algae-based air purifiers for use in cafeterias and metro stations. \n\n\"The algae feed on volatile organic compounds to grow and store fine particles. They also help to limit CO2 peaks. The air comes out of the machine completely depolluted,\u201d said Jamil Benabbou, mechanical manager at Bioteos. \n\nBioteos, which has just raised its first round of funding after three years of research and development, is now offering its solutions in the Lille region and intends to offer its machines throughout France. \n\n'Bringing benefit to everyone, everywhere' \n\nSome major companies were also promoting green tech at VivaTech.

to explore the Occitanie region by train for \u20ac10 per day? Local authorities have created a new rail pass that will allow travellers and tourists unlimited travel on local trains across the region. \n\nThe Occitanie Rail Tour Pass is valid on local TER services - 19 rail lines which run to all stations in the Occitanie region. It can\u2019t, however, be used on high-speed TGV trains, Intercit\u00e9 or night train routes. \n\nWhere train lines don\u2019t reach, liO buses in the region can take passengers to their final destination for an extra \u20ac2 per trip. \n\nThe pass allows unlimited travel for between two to six days and, as there is no reserved seating on regional trains, you can easily buy it last minute. \n\nWhere can you travel with the Occitanie Rail Tour Pass?\n\nThe Occitanie region is home to famous French cities like Toulouse, N\u00eemes and Montpellier. And there are plenty of historic, beautiful places to visit close by using the local rail network. \n\nHop off the train in Narbonne and find the Cathedral of Saint-Just and Saint-Pasteur. Built between 1272 and 1340, it takes inspiration from cathedrals in northern France. Vaulted ceilings soar up to 40 metres in the building\u2019s unique choir.\n\nHead to the picturesque town of Collioure for the clear waters of the Mediterranean. Its architecture inspired painters including Matisse and Picasso. Pair outstanding gastronomic offerings with its celebrated AOC Banyuls-Collioure wines for a taste of Occtinanie. \n\nThis is the largest wine-producing region in France, representing 30 per cent of all wine produced in the country. So there are plenty more places you can stop along Occitanie\u2019s rail network to sample fine wines.\n\nIt has a broad range of red, white and rose wines with vineyards stretching from the Pyrenees-Orientales to the hillsides of the Cevennes. The character of each wine is influenced by the specific geographical features of the site. \n\nSouth of Carcassonne you can find Limoux wines, known for the defining feature of using the Mauzac grape variety. Take a train north from Montpellier where the hot Mediterranean climate and cool temperatures in Cevanne make the fruity, spicy Pic Saint Loup red wines. \n\nIf you stop in Toulouse, be sure to visit one of the best wine bars in the world, Le 5 Wine Bar located in the heart of the \u2018Pink City\u2019. Here you can taste a variety of local wines and some from further afield. \n\nThe Gers region in the west of Occitanie is also where the exceptional Armagnac brandy was born in the 14th century. Distilled from white wine, it is aged in oak barrels that give it its unique flavour. \n\nThere\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll find spectacular regional wine at whichever of the 150 stations in the region you choose to get off at. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Want to explore the Occitanie region by train for \u20ac10 per day?
