The day began with the Monaco explosion still dominating, as authorities ruled out terrorism and opened an attempted murder investigation, with the suspect believed to have fled to France. By mid-morning, the heatwave returned to the forefront, with Météo-France warning of a new episode starting the weekend and Santé Publique France reporting at least 300 excess deaths from the May heatwave. Political fallout followed: ecologists filed a no-confidence motion, while Minister Lecornu disputed their 10,000-death claim. The afternoon saw the National Assembly adopt the euthanasia law for a third time, and EU funds embezzlement raids targeted the far-right Identity and Democracy group. However, from early evening, all editorial attention shifted to the World Cup, as France faced Sweden in the round of 16. Live coverage dominated, with Mbappé's first-half goal—after a disallowed effort and an Olise shot off the post—becoming the sole focus of headlines into the night.
