PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, March 4: Europe needs to find money quickly to assure Ukraine's security: that's the message from the papers after President Donald Trump suspends US military aid to Kyiv. We also look at how drones have transformed the war in Ukraine. Elsewhere, French football is in crisis after Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca almost comes to physical blows with the referee during a match. Plus: scientists are stunned after a mouse performs mouse-to-mouse resuscitation. The US has suspended military aid to Ukraine after US President Donald Trump had a particularly hostile meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky last week. According to the The New York Times, the White House says the aid will be reinstated when Trump has determined that Ukraine is seriously committed to peace negotiations with Russia.This news broke early on Tuesday – too late for the front pages. But the European press focuses on what the bloc needs to do to ensure Ukraine's protection. French paper Le Figaro looks ahead to an extraordinary EU summit that will be held later this week. On the agenda: saving Ukraine in the short and long term and establishing a roadmap to find funds to ensure its security. Le Monde, meanwhile, focuses on Europe's search for a peace plan. In its editorial, the paper lambasts French MPs after a national debate on Ukraine on Monday. The paper accuses opposition MPs of focusing on the 2027 presidential elections in France instead of the very real challenges ahead.Elsewhere, the British newspaper Daily Express quotes Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has vowed that Britain will lead from the front to protect Ukraine and stave off the Russian threat to Europe. Starmer is the indeed the focus of the front of Politico's website. His first seven months in leadership have been complicated, resulting in his waning popularity. But his leadership on Ukraine – hosting a summit at the weekend, welcoming Zelensky and a successful visit to the White House in which Trump even sang his praises – have helped transform his image. Starmer has gone from a leader who's been compared to an "HR manager" to an unlikely wartime envoy. His unshowy style is seen as a welcome – and stark contrast – to that of French President Emmanuel Macron.The Ukrainian press, meanwhile, looks at how the nature of the war has changed in the past three years. The Kyiv Independent looks at how drone technology has dramatically evolved. Russia has increased domestic production of different types of drones: reconnaissance, combat drones and decoys. It's made it very difficult for Ukrainian troops to distinguish between them and has overloaded the air defence systems. The New York Times explains in a photo essay that while the early stages of the war were fought with traditional weapons, the conflict has since been transformed. Today, drones do most of the killing and are responsible for 70 percent of deaths and injuries. Drone pilots attack with joysticks and video screens, in the safety of bunkers often kilometres away from the front line, giving troops the feeling of having "a thousand snipers in the skies."In other news: French paper Aujourd'hui en France/Le Parisien looks at violence against football referees. It comes after Olympique Lyonnais coach Paulo Fonseca almost came to physical blows with referee Benoît Millot during his team's Ligue 1 match against Brest. The violent gesture, in which he went head-to-head with the referee over a red card, has draw shock and ire. It comes just days after Pablo Longoria, the boss of Olympique de Marseille, was implicated in accusations of corruption. Longoria has been suspended for 15 matches. Fonseca could also face a heavy penalty for his violent gesture towards the referee. Le Parisien calls for courageous actions, from Lyon – who it says should fire its coach – and from the French League and its disciplinary commission, who it says need to understand that suspensions and fines are not enough.Finally: scientists have been left astounded after observing lab mice actively trying to save each other. In a series of experiments, they observed mice fighting to revive their unconscious siblings who had been drugged to knock them out – you can see them pawing, licking and then pulling the tongue away to clear the airways. It's strikingly similar to human mouth-to-mouth and the study was published in the journal Science. A video by New Scientist is also available! You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

French FarceAnother tale from the Celtic WikiThe Anglo-Franco-Scottish Friendship Cup was a short-lived Inter-League football competition organised by the French Football Federation that would see teams from the English Football League and the Scottish League compete against teams from the French League.The original idea was to have four teams from Scotland and four teams from England competing together as one nation competing against eight teams from France. Due to the objection by the Scottish League this ruling was cancelled.Two separate trophies were cast - one for Scottish clubs competing against French clubs and one for English clubs competing against French clubs. Individual clubs could not win the competition, so each country was awarded 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.Due to disagreements as to when matches should be played, neither of the matches between Celtic and Reims took place.Enjoy….The Celtic Underground Substack is a reader-supported publication.

We have been accused of, and admitted to, not giving the French League the attention it deserves. Since this season began, Colin Higgins hasn't left us much of a choice but to take notice.The key off-season signing for Les Aigles du Velay last summer, Colin has helped to establish them as the class of the domestic league and be dominant in their EuroCup campaign so far.The Canadian forward turns up in his jeans, wool socks and work boots, in the hopes that he won't get roped into anything. But we won't let him leave without getting the insider's perspective on a EuroCup 2 Finals that will see his team take on Hannover, Cantù and French rival Le Cannet just to make it into the semi-finals.Available now, wherever you get your podcasts!

Woody Braun s'empare de l'antenne pour la première émission de l'année avec une heure de disco, house et funk !

Today we are joined by Dr. Lindsay Krasnoff, who is an historian, specializing in global sport, communications and diplomacy. She is also the Director of FranceandUS, and she lectures on sports diplomacy at New York University Tisch Institute of Global Sport. We met to talk about her most recent book: Basketball Empire: France and the Making of a Global NBA and WNBA (Bloomsbury, 2023). In our conversation, we discussed the rise of basketball in France, the differences between French and American basketball, and the way that French basketball stars such as Boris Diaw exemplify the new global “empire” of basketball that incorporates Africa, France and its overseas departments, and the USA. Krasnoff divides Basketball Empire into three parts that together investigate how French basketball developed from a low point in the middle of the 20th century to a global powerhouse contributing players to the NBA and the WNBA almost every year. Krasnoff argues that French basketball's success hinges on their ability make use of their connections both with the United States and with their former empire. In examining the growth of basketball in France, Krasnoff traces a sporting genealogy that links together players, coaches, and even commentators from around the globe who compete together in France and help produce a distinctive French style of basketball that nevertheless has appeal outside of the hexagon. In Basketball Empire, Krasnoff's first section takes off from her previous work on French association football, which looked at the development of Les Bleus. In the 1950s and 1960s, French basketball too was in crisis. In response, the French government, the Fédération française de basket-ball (FFBB), and even some sporting associations sought out new ways to improve the quality of play in France. Paris University Club brought in Americans who had played basketball in the NCAA but were now living in France to teach American approaches to the game. Individual players, including one of the earliest female French basketball stars Elisabeth Riffiod, watched film of American professionals like Bill Russell. The government redeveloped a national training centre: the National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance (INSEP.) The French League professionalized in 1987. Since the 1990s, French basketball has enjoyed a rising number of successful EuroBasket and Olympic campaigns, including a men's silver and a women's bronze in 2020/21. Basketball Empire's second section uses micro-biographies to explore the ways that contemporary French players developed their skills, how they made their moves into the NCAA, the NBA or the WNBA, and the challenges and opportunities that these moves provided them as players. In this section in particular, Krasnoff's ability land and conduct interviews shines. She shows how diverse players, including Boris Diaw, Sandrine Gruda, Nicolas Batum, Marine Johannès, Diandra Tchatchouang, Evan Fournier, Mickaël Gelabale, and Rudy Gobert have become not only basketball stars but also informal diplomats that help build connections and translate between Africa, France and the United States. In the final section, Krasnoff considers why the French have been so successful at producing high quality men's and women's basketball players. She credits la formation à la française: the specific French training system that includes a national sports training center (the INSEP) as well as local and regional basketball academies (pôles espoirs). The future looks bright for French basketball and in our interview Krasnoff predicts French and US success in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympiad. Keith Rathbone is a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He researches twentieth-century French social and cultural history. Learn more about your ad choices.

Après un week-end de réouverture des clubs qui a tenu toutes ses promesses, Woody Braun de la Funky French League vient mettre du soleil dans votre début de semaine.

In this exceptional episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo welcomes Pierre Corthay, one of the most acclaimed shoemakers in the world and a man who has been awarded the title of "Master of Arts" by the French government (the highest distinction granted to an artisan in France similar to the "living treasures" in Japan).During this rare and in-depth discussion, you will discover the incredible path of a young man, who started in 1984 as an apprentice in the French League of Craftsmen "Les Compagnons du Devoir", who then won his stripes at John Lobb Paris and Berluti before spreading his own wings by buying an obscure small bespoke shoemaking workshop in Paris near Place Vendôme at the beginning of the 1990's. Pierre's solo beginnings are far from uncomplicated, especially in the early years. But things change in 1992, when world famous fashion columnist Suzy Menkes steps through the door of Pierre's tiny workshop and becomes enamored with Corthay's shoes. A few days later she publishes in the Herald Tribune, an article about a young, obscure Parisian shoemaker unknown to the general public. Moments later, the telephone of the Rue Volney workshop starts to ring, and not long after, the Sultan of Brunei places an order for 140 pairs of bespoke shoes!  At the same time, the iconic Parisian House of Lanvin signs Corthay for all its bespoke orders, turning his story into fairytale material.This is the true story of an artisan who has inspired a whole generation of young shoemakers and who has been a driving force behind the renewed interest of many gentlemen for quality shoes and for traditional craftsmanship.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/sartorialtalks)
