CMP resumption, accident on A1 and eruption in Iceland: 5 news worth remembering this afternoon

Information you can’t miss

The confrontation in the National Assembly continues. On Monday, a meeting of the joint parliamentary committee (CMP) was supposed to take a decision on the immigration bill, but it was suspended twice due to disagreements between the president’s camp and the Republican party over the APL. Elizabeth Bourne received Republican representatives at night. According to our information, they agreed on a general version, the contours of which are still unknown.

Discussions resumed on Tuesday morning, both in the CMP and in parallel between the executive branch and deputies from the Renaissance party. The final vote of the Senate and Assembly will take place at 19:00 and 21:30 if an agreement is reached between the presidential majority and the right on this controversial text.

• New front in the Red Sea. France is joining a 10-nation international coalition to counter repeated Houthi attacks on ships Yemeni rebels consider “linked to Israel.” The Jewish state is not among the countries mentioned by the US as part of the alliance.
• Save up on A1. A serious accident led to the closure of the motorway on Tuesday near Roissy (Val d’Oise). Three trucks were involved, including one carrying “domestic fuel oil” which spilled onto the road, causing a fire. At least one person died.
• Lava fountains in Iceland. A volcanic eruption continued in Iceland on Tuesday morning and appears to be decreasing in strength in an area south of Reykjavik where seismic activity has been very intense since early November. Experts fear that lava will gradually reach the town of Grindavik, which was evacuated for more than a month after a series of earthquakes and magma rose below the surface.

The end-of-year holidays can be an opportunity to give a meaningful gift to a member of your family. They are divided into two categories: regular gift and handmade gift. The first must be “of reasonable value.” If the gift is too large to be a regular gift, it is considered a tangential gift that must be declared to the tax authorities. We explain the rules that should be followed.
