COVID vaccines mandatory for health care workers in France
Health Care workers in France will now be forced to get a coronavirus vaccine under President Macron’s new order
French President Emmanuel Macron ordered all French health care workers to get the vaccine by September 15 to fight resurgent infections that are threatening the country’s economic recovery.
In a televised address, Macron also mandated special COVID-19 passes for anyone who wants to go to a restaurant, shopping mall, or hospital or use public transport including the use of airlines.
How to get a COVID pass:
To get a pass, people must have proof they’re fully vaccinated, or recently recovered from the virus, or have taken a fresh negative virus test.
The delta variant is driving France’s virus infections back up again, just as the country kicked off summer vacation season after a long-awaited reopening. Some 40% of France’s population is fully inoculated.
“Get vaccinated!”
was the president’s overall message.
“More cases will come”
“The country is facing a strong resumption of the epidemic touching all our territory,” President Macron said.
The French President warned of a new wave of cases and potential hospitalisations and urgest the more people that are vaccinated, “the less space we leave this virus to circulate.”
But Macron stopped short of any new lockdown measures, saying “We have to learn to live with the virus.”

Ukraine faces tough choices amid us-russia peace talks
Ukraine faces tough choices amid U.S.-Russia secret peace plan negotiations, potentially demanding significant concessions from Kyiv
Ukraine faces tough choices amid U.S.-Russia secret peace plan negotiations, potentially demanding significant concessions from Kyiv
>
– Ukraine faces challenges with a U.S.-Russia peace plan requiring major concessions to Moscow.
– Senior U.S. officials are in Ukraine discussing conflict resolution amid concerns over Ukrainian input.
The plan reportedly includes territorial concessions in eastern Donbas, limitations on Ukraine’s military capabilities, and a substantial reduction in armed forces. Some reports suggest that Russia could control the Donbas while Ukraine retains legal ownership, with payment arrangements in place, but these claims remain unverified.
A senior Ukrainian official indicated that Kyiv received signals regarding U.S. proposals but was not involved in their formulation. The Kremlin has denied any new developments in peace talks since President Putin and President Trump last met.
The White House has not confirmed the existence of the peace plan but acknowledged that new proposals are being explored. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that achieving peace necessitates difficult concessions from both sides.
Ukraine’s Options
Ukraine has not responded publicly to the peace plan but anticipates discussions with U.S. officials. President Zelenskyy noted that the U.S. plays a crucial role in resolving the conflict.
Despite Ukrainian concerns, the country remains reliant on U.S. military aid, with European support becoming less immediate. European officials have expressed dissatisfaction over peace proposals that do not involve Ukrainian input, noting it is essential for any viable plan.
Analysts have warned that the proposed plan may signify Ukraine’s capitulation, undermining its defensive positions and inviting further Russian aggression.

U.S. pushes Ukraine toward controversial peace plan with Russia
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.
As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.
Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.
Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
