Last update: 7 hours ago

Roland Garros Under Pressure: Marta Kostyuk said a missile strike near her parents’ home in Ukraine hit just 100 meters away—then she still beat Oksana Selekhmeteva to start her French Open campaign. Tennis Spotlight: Novak Djokovic also advanced, rallying past Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a first-round night match. Heatwave Alert: Météo-France extended yellow heat warnings across 18 departments, with Paris and western areas bracing for 30–35C and record-breaking May warmth. EU-Backed Culture Push: The EU and Expertise France launched “Sankofa II,” a €2.5m, three-year project to back Ghana’s cultural and creative industries. Tech & Sovereignty: Macron announced €1.5bn for quantum and advanced microchips, while a new European initiative (RESOLVE) aims to scale next-gen electronics and AI efficiency. Geopolitics: Belarus’s Lukashenko held a rare phone call with Macron, as France and allies keep pressing on Ukraine and sanctions. Business/Travel: Qantas again delayed its ultra-long-haul Project Sunrise, citing Airbus delivery and supply-chain issues.
