Italian ambassador, driver and bodyguard killed in DRC ambush

Description

In tonight's edition: DR Congo vows to find the killers of the Italian ambassador, his bodyguard and a driver. The trio were killed not far from Goma on Monday after their convoy was ambushed. It is still unclear who is behind the attack. Feelings are still running high in Algeria as thousands march to mark two years since the Hirak rallies that ousted former leader Abdelaziz Bouteflika from power. And Kenyans give two wheels a spin as more people get on their bikes in Nairobi to avoid the coronavirus risks of travelling on public transport.

Les éthylotests disponibles dans les commerces qui vendent de l'alcool dès juillet

Jusque-là, seules les discothèques et les épiceries de nuit devaient proposer des éthylotests à leurs clients. Cette obligation va bientôt s'étendre à tous les magasins qui vendent de l'alcool. Mais Julien Chivé, caviste bordelais, n'est pas vraiment convaincu. "Je trouve que ça ne sert pas à grand-chose. Les gens savent bien qu'après deux verres, il faut s'arrêter si on veut reprendre la voiture. Et les clients rencontrés ce jeudi matin ne voient pas non plus l'intérêt d'en acheter. "Ca me semble absurde", lance l'un d'eux. "De toute façon, après deux verres, on sera positif, donc c'est à chacun de se gérer", explique un autre.Dans l'épicerie de Virgine Matheron, à Talence (Gironde), il est difficile de trouver une place pour les éthylotests. La gérante doit enlever des produits et envisage surtout des coûts supplémentaires. En effet, dans le supermarché Carrefour City, qui en commercialise depuis un an, ces produits ne sont pas très populaires. "On en a vendu trois en un an", confie le gérant. Près de 50 000 commerçants devraient proposer des éthylotests à partir du 1er juillet, sous peine d'une amende de 675 euros.
