Overnight coverage shifted from Tuesday's strikes to the season's first Cévenol episode, with Gard and Hérault placed on red rain-flood alert, schools closed, rail traffic cut and FR-Alert activated as up to 200mm fell in 24 hours; the alert was lifted in the evening with damage described as limited.
Attention then returned to a second day of lycée blockades in Lille, Lyon, Saint-Denis and elsewhere. Interior minister Laurent Nuñez reported an extension of the movement with 625 arrests, 83 police officers injured and 119 pupils and staff hurt since the start, while Macron said he heard anger but rejected violence and Mélenchon urged non-violence amid accusations of LFI instrumentalisation.
From Madrid Macron also called the antisemitic writings attributed to Jordan Bardella by Mediapart gravissimes, prompting Bardella's rebuttal. Parallel coverage followed the diversion to Saudi Arabia of Flydubai flight FZ1073 to Tel Aviv after an alleged cockpit attack.
