Syringe Assaults Shake French Music FestivalAuthorities arrested 12 suspects after 145 people, mainly young women, were injured with syringes at a festival in La Rochelle.
- During the Fête de la Musique in La Rochelle, 145 individuals, mostly females aged 14 to 20, reported syringe injuries.
- Twelve suspects were apprehended across France, with four believed to have targeted around 50 victims in Angoulême.
- Victims received emergency care onsite before hospitalization, while the injected substance remains under toxicological analysis.
- Similar needle attack incidents in 2022 led to over 1,000 complaints but no confirmed presence of harmful drugs in tests.
I hope that the investigation, particularly through the examination of his cellphone, will lead to the identification of other attackers.— François Grosdidier, Mayor of Metz, commented on the ongoing investigation into the syringe attacks during the French music festival Fête de la Musique.

Powell Signals No Rate Cut Expected in JulyFed Chair Powell sees tariffs impacting inflation more noticeably this summer, delaying any interest rate reduction until later in 2025.
- Jerome Powell stated it is premature to consider cutting interest rates in July due to uncertain economic effects of current policies.
- The Federal Reserve has maintained its benchmark rate between 4.25% and 4.5% since January to monitor tariff impacts.
- Powell noted tariffs might cause either temporary or persistent inflation, but the full extent remains unclear.
- Despite some officials' support for rate cuts, most predict no reduction before the end of the year.
It would be inappropriate for us to comment on the policy of tariffs. We don’t have a view. It’s not our job and we just wouldn’t do that.— Jerome Powell during his testimony before Congress regarding monetary policy.

- The mural depicting the legend of the chestnut trees in Horw has suffered significant moisture damage.
- Restoration work includes replacing damaged wooden panels and carefully retouching the painting across its 50 square meters.
- The 100,000 CHF cost is largely due to specialized carpentry and art restoration efforts.
- Funding is only partially secured, prompting a fundraising campaign to cover remaining expenses before completion in August.
The restoration is indeed labor-intensive.— Christian Volken, media spokesperson for the municipality of Horw, describes the challenges of restoring the mural.
