The new measure—approved by a government-appointed expert panel on Monday—is part of a bigger plan Germany has to cushion its citizens from an unfolding energy crisis exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequential fallout of trade relations with Moscow.

French media — delighted to see the country’s first yellow jersey holder since Thomas Voeckler wore it in 2011 — reveled in the fact that Gallopin will lead France’s most beloved race on the Bastille Day holiday Monday....

Should he claw his way past the Justice Department’s tightening probe to the primaries, it would be unwise to bet against him.
