The strength of @contexte.com political and policy coverage is how a team of reporters work together to tell the EU in French or English.

Journalists' work is then translated by our adaptation editors.

Last thing: Macron made it clear nuclear cooperation will be outside of Nato. Sounds pretty significant ...

This cooperation could lead to station weapons in some countries part of these new partnerships.

But it seems it would be an option, case by case scenario.

Macron made it clear that it is by no means sharing nuclear codes and only French President will have the right to press any nuclear button.

But it is to have a more collaborative approach on what 'national vital interest' means

Macron just announced a revamping of France's nuclear strategy. New warheads, but the official number will be now undisclosed.

But most important new elements are on extending nuclear collaborations with UK, Germany -- but also Poland, Greece, The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark

Le Média a eu une naissance difficile mais on peut pas dire que c'est une externalisation de la FI.

Après, sur cette conf de presse, il y'aurait eu zero problème si les "anciens médias" (d'ailleurs le mien, on le classe où?) avaient été de la partie. C'est débile ce clivage.

Apparently two options on the table: aerial bins or buried containers.

Both work for me. As long as they don't buried trash bags collectors in the allegedly new outdoor swimming pool they want to do.

Also, a new stadium for l'Union in Forest.
