The Covid-19 pandemic and its restrictions is taking a heavy toll on the mental health of students across the world. As France’s university students are joining their teachers today to protest their conditions, a recent government report says 50% of France’s young people are worried about their mental health, with 23% admitting they have thought about putting an end to their lives. Some students’ organizations are trying to help those in need, as FRANCE 24’s Chris Moore reports.
Nearly 16,000 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in the last 24 hours, according to data published on Sunday by French health authorities.
IN THE PRESS- Wednesday, 02.12.2020: In the United States, lawmakers of colour wonder whether Joe Biden will deliver on his vow to build a government that better reflects diversities. We also hear from 30 young people who spoke to a French newspaper about what it's like to grow up in the midst of a pandemic. Finally, we look at the unveiling of a statue in Britain which is set to receive a less-than-flattering welcome.
On the third Thursday of November, France marks the arrival of Beaujolais nouveau. It's the country's most famous "vin primeur" (young wine) and hails from the beautiful and highly protected Beaujolais wine-producing region north of Lyon. But this year, the coronavirus pandemic has put a damper on what is otherwise a festive celebration across France and much of the world. We take a closer look.
This week, we take stock of how the Covid-19 crisis has affected higher education in France. Whether embarking on their studies, hoping to get crucial internships or graduating amid a historic recession, French students are facing a whole new learning curve. And while authorities have been calling on students to curb their enthusiasm in the name of the greater good, many are anxious to enjoy their new-found independence and let off steam, to the point that clandestine parties are now being blamed for the emergence of new virus clusters.
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.
