Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.

Quick Glance: New Rope Climbing World Record Set at Eiffel Tower by French Athlete

Anouk Garnier surpassed the previous world record in rope climbing on Wednesday morning by ascending over 100 meters to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.

Equipped with a safety cord, the double obstacle course world champion began her climb in front of dozens of onlookers at one of Paris' most iconic landmarks.

She reached the 100-meter mark after just 18 minutes of climbing, despite the initial estimate of 20 minutes.

Garnier is now considering taking a brief break, given her packed schedule. Apart from returning to obstacle courses, she will be participating in carrying the Olympic flame in Marseille on May 9 before becoming an ambassador for the volunteer program of this year's Paris Olympics.

French foreign minister says dialogue with Russia no longer in France's 'interest'

Quick Glance: French Foreign Minister Terminates Cooperation with Russia in Antiterrorism

Stéphane Séjourné emphasized that the longstanding cooperation with Russia in the fight against terrorism had reached a halt.

Following conflicting reports on a rare phone call regarding the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall last month, the French Foreign Minister stated on Monday that it was currently not in France's interest to negotiate with Russia.

President Macron criticized Russia's 'bizarre and threatening' tone after a conversation between the French Defense Minister and his Russian counterpart.

Before France can engage in discussions with Russia again, it may be necessary to build trust and improve the military situation in Ukraine to facilitate a renewal of relations, according to Séjourné.

Quick Glance: Parisian Mayor Rejects Russian, Belarusian Athletes for 2024 Olympics

The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, opposes the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in the Olympic Games in Paris in the summer of 2024.

During the Parisian Mayor's visit to Kyiv on March 28, Hidalgo stated, 'I want to tell Russian and Belarusian athletes that they will not be welcomed in Paris.'

Anne Hidalgo emphasized that Paris will support Ukrainian athletes during the Olympics. She added, 'Paris will welcome you as heroes, you will feel at home in Paris.'

In January 2023, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo initially supported Russian and Belarusian athletes competing under a neutral flag at the Olympics but later changed her stance, emphasizing that France will not honor 'a country that attacks another.'
