The morning editorial cycle focused on the historic liftoff of Sophie Adenot, the first French woman to travel to the ISS in 25 years. This national achievement briefly eclipsed the worsening domestic crisis of Storm Nils, which editors tracked through a rising death toll and 'generalized floods' across 23 departments. Simultaneously, investigative outlets deepened the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, naming Nina Keita, niece of the Ivorian president, as a key facilitator. By early afternoon, attention shifted to the Milan-Cortina Olympics, celebrating Quentin Fillon Maillet’s biathlon gold while reporting a fatal avalanche in Val-d’Isère that killed three skiers. The evening was dominated by a security crisis at the Arc de Triomphe, where gendarmes shot and killed a radicalized individual during a knife attack. This event coincided with President Macron’s tribute to Ilan Halimi, where he proposed mandatory ineligibility for officials convicted of antisemitic or racist acts.
