The day was dominated by Flavie Flament's rape accusation against Patrick Bruel, which broke in the early afternoon and received sustained coverage across outlets. Flament, a TV host, alleged Bruel raped her when she was 16; his lawyer denied the charges. The story overshadowed the Nantes shooting of a 15-year-old on a drug-dealing spot, which had been the main story overnight. Interior Minister Nuñez visited the scene and vowed an 'intact and total' war on drug trafficking. In the Middle East, Iran signaled it would allow more ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier approached the strait. The US-China summit in Beijing produced no major breakthroughs, with Trump urging Xi to pressure Iran on nuclear weapons.
