Tensions in US-Israel relationship, Xi finishes Europe tour, 2024 Olympic worries
Edité par France 24 - 2024
It’s been a week of walks in the Pyrenees and a stop at the Shepard's Stop Cafe, as Emmanuel Macron wined and dined China's leader Xi Jinping on a rare grand tour of Europe. History is at a turning point, said the French president, who hopes personal diplomacy can make a difference to tense relations.
Finally, it’s been a week that’s seen the spectacular arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseilles, carried on a 19th-century ship. French officials are promising a Games like no other before. We look at whether Paris can avoid the curse of the so-called White Elephant, unlike Athens, Beijing, Rio and Tokyo.
