07:36⇢Heatwave's End-of-Month Grip
⌨French media continues to prioritize the intensifying heatwave, with 14 departments under red vigilance and temperatures expected to exceed 40°C. The heatwave is now extending to the North-East and Île-de-France, and is projected to last until late August (20 Minutes, BFMTV, Le Figaro, Le Parisien, Libération, L'Obs). Additionally, reports highlight the government's 2026 budget plans, notably François Bayrou's contentious proposals regarding public holidays and unemployment reform, as well as hospital efficiency (Le Monde, Les Echos).
