Heatwaves, Brexit glitches and lavender: 6 essential articles for life in France
Temperatures in the first heatwave of what experts forecast will be a long, hot French summer should now be starting to dip below sweltering – but how high can we expect the temperatures to get in the summer of 2025? How hot will it get in France this summer? On that topic, while this particular hot spell may be breaking, it's obvious that it won't be the last one this year. And that raises the question of how we should keep cool. Some of the solutions might not be what you would expect. 'Avoid iced water and air-conditioning on max' – how the French stay cool in a heatwave While we're talking about summer, what about places to visit? Known affectionately as 'blue gold', France's lavender fields are a popular tourist attraction every year – here's what you need to know about visiting them. What to know when visiting France's lavender fields this summer Every now and then, post-Brexit bureaucracy glitches, and – suddenly – Britons legally resident in France under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement find themselves, briefly, on the wrong side of the administration. When this happens, it can be worrying and stressful, but we've got your back with this rundown of where you can go for help and advice. Brexit residency rights in France: Where to go for help Advertisement Foreigners who have residency in France gain extra rights (and responsibilities ) which are not open to those who simply own property here or visit regularly. Here's a look at what non-residents can and cannot access. What you can and cannot do as a non-resident in France Finally, it's human nature to try and find a few shortcuts through France's notoriously tricky residency and tax systems, but as The Local's editor Emma Pearson has seen – taking advantage of 'loopholes' often causes more problems that it solves.

'Don't Think There Will Be Any Medal Given': Sunil Gavaskar Lashes At India's Sloppy Fielding, Namedrops Yashasvi Jaiswal
India found them in a trick situation after the end of second day's play where England ended the day scoring 209/3. The scoreboard tells half the story as the three wicket column could have very well be five or six wickets too if Indian fielders complimented Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional bowling. India's Legendary batter slammed Indian fielders for their fielding also name dropping Yashasvi Jaiswal. England ended India's inning for 471 taking their last 7 wickets for mere 41 runs. India in response started well dismissing Zak Crawley's wicket but Ollie Pope's robust century and Ben Duckett's counterattacking half century turned out to be a threat for India. Three Missed Opportunities India was very sloppy on the field on their first day of fielding in a long test match series of 5 matches. The shoulders kept falling and the body language seemed disappointing. The Indian fielders left three catches with Yashasvi Jaiswal dropping two. Jaiswal first dropped Duckett's catch in the fifth over and then he dropped down Pope's catch that is proving to be costly as of now. Ravindra Jadeja who is considered to be one of the best fielders of the world also dropped an easy catch of Duckett in the seventh over. Gavaskar took a jibe at the time stating there will be no fielding medals given this time. Slamming the Indian fielders while commentating he said - "I don't think there will be any medal given. T Dillip gives those after a match. This is what was really very, very disappointing. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good fielder but he hasn't been able to hold on to anything this time". Lone Warrior Jasprit Bumrah was the only bowler that looked deadly and could take wicket on the second day as he took 3 wickets for 48 runs in 13 overs. Rest of the Indian bowlers - Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja looked out of sorts and skills. England is currently trailing by 261 runs, Day 3 is always considered as the moving day and it can very well set the picture of an Indian win or an England defeat vice-versa.

Kylian Mbappe skips Real Madrid training again, set to miss Pachuca game in Club World Cup
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe skipped Saturday's collective training session and is set to miss the 15-time European champion's Group H game against Pachuca at the Club World Cup as he recovers from illness, the club said. Mbappe, who was admitted to a Miami area hospital earlier this week with acute gastroenteritis, had stayed at the team hotel and would not be travelling to Charlotte, North Carolina, for Sunday's match, a Real spokesperson said. Mbappe was ruled out of Real's opening game against Al-Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw and left RB Salzburg top of the table with three points after it beat Mexican side Pachuca 2-1. READ: FIFA Club World Cup: Inter Milan rallies past Urawa on stoppage-time goal Mbappe had been isolated from his teammates since Tuesday before being taken to the hospital on Wednesday. He was discharged on Thursday. A club source said earlier this week that Mbappe was not expected to take part in any group game at the Club World Cup. Coach Xabi Alonso, however, hinted Mbappe could play in the last group game. 'He's better. It's been two days since he came back from the hospital. He's recovering, and day by day we're increasingly optimistic about him for the next match,' he told a press conference.
