Seine reopens to Paris swimmers after century-long ban
The River Seine reopened to swimmers in Paris on Saturday, July 5, marking the first time since 1923 that bathers could take a dip in the iconic waterway following a years-long cleanup effort. A few dozen people of all ages arrived ahead of the 8 am opening of the Bras Marie swimming zone – one of three open in Paris this summer – donning swim caps and goggles as they prepared to dive in and celebrate the long-awaited return of bathing in the Seine. The seasonal opening of the Seine for swimming is seen as a key legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics, when open-water swimmers and triathletes competed in its waters which were specially cleaned for the event. Parisians and visitors looking to cool off this summer can take the plunge – weather permitting – under the watchful eye of lifeguards in fluorescent yellow T-shirts at the three bathing sites, including one a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower. The swimming zones are equipped with changing rooms, showers, and beach-style furniture, offering space for 150 to 300 people to relax, lay out their towels, and unwind from the city's hustle and bustle. Paris officials say they have taken several measures to ensure swimmers can safely enjoy the long-anticipated reopening, including daily water pollution testing and implementing a swim test for bathers. The water quality is "exceptional", said Marc Guillaume, the prefect for the Ile-de-France region that includes Paris. "We are monitoring two bacteria, E. coli and enterococci, and for one we are ten times below the thresholds and for the other more than 25 times below," he said. But officials reminded swimmers of potential dangers, including strong currents, boat traffic, and an average depth of 3.5 metres (11 feet). "The Seine remains a dangerous environment," said local official Elise Lavielle earlier this week. To mitigate that risk, lifeguards will assess visitors' swimming abilities before allowing independent access, while a decree issued in late June introduced fines for anyone swimming outside designated areas. The promise to lift the swimming ban dates back to 1988, when then-mayor of Paris and future president Jacques Chirac first advocated for its reversal, around 65 years after the practice was banned in 1923. 'More peaceful life' "One of my predecessors (Chirac), then mayor of Paris, dreamed of a Seine where everyone could swim," President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X, describing the move as the result of a "collective effort" and a moment of "pride" for France. Help us improve Le Monde in English Dear reader, We'd love to hear your thoughts on Le Monde in English! Take this quick survey to help us improve it for you. Ahead of the Olympic Games, authorities invested approximately €1.4 billion ($1.6 billion) to improve the Seine's water quality. Since then, work carried out upstream promises even better water quality – with one catch. On rainy days, the mid-19 th -century Parisian sewage system often overflows, causing rain and waste waters to pour into the river. Flags will inform bathers about pollution levels in the water every day, and if it rains, the sites will likely close the day after, said Paris city official Pierre Rabadan. Swimmers may be in luck this year, though, with weather predicted to be drier than the record rainfall during the Games, which led to the cancellation of six of the 11 competitions held on the river. The opening comes after the French capital during the week endured a major heatwave that saw Paris put on the weather agency's highest alert level during a Europe-wide heatwave. Hidalgo, who took the inaugural swim last year, said that cleaning up the Seine for the Olympics was not the final goal but part of a broader effort to adapt the city to climate change and enhance quality of life. "Heatwaves are only going to increase," the Paris mayor said, adding creating safe swim spaces will foster a "happier, and undoubtedly more peaceful life with our fellow citizens." One of the swimmers on Saturday expressed gratitude for the Seine's re-opening. "Thank you, Ms. Hidalgo. This is so cool," the bather shouted from the water. The swimming spots are open to the public for free until August 31.

New Zealand struggle past under-strength France 31-27
New Zealand edged past an under-strength France 31-27 in Dunedin on Saturday, July 5, to record a 500 th Test win for the All Blacks in unconvincing fashion. Will Jordan scored two tries to secure a tense victory as the All Blacks held off an energetic France side fielding eight debutants to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series. New Zealand wing Sevu Reece lasted less than a minute as poor technique in a tackle saw him dazed and helped from the field with a head injury. It forced an immediate reshuffle, with Jordan moving from fullback to the right wing, and Damian McKenzie coming off the bench. It clearly rattled the All Blacks. The young French side took the lead from a penalty goal in the seventh minute and extended it to 10 points soon after when No.8 Mickael Guillard crossed next to the posts. New Zealand centre Jordie Barrett thought he had scored moments earlier, after Cam Roigard split the line and fed him for an easy try, only for it to be pulled back for a knock-on in the build-up. But the home side's response was swift. Jordan scored his first of the night on the end of a pinpoint Beauden Barrett cut-out pass. Tupou Vai'i gave New Zealand the lead for the first time moments later, crashing under the posts as the attack started to click on the back of fierce defensive work. Jordie Barrett did score a try just before half-time, diving like a slip fielder to catch a Jordan pass on the right wing, before finding his feet and plopping over. But France would not lie down and hit back almost immediately from the second-half kickoff. Rieko Ioane, playing on the wing for the first time in four years, bobbled the restart, allowing France good territory and Gabin Villiere scored to cut the deficit to a single point at 21-20. Jordan scored his second of the match – his 40 th Test try – to restore an eight-point advantage but again France wouldn't give in. Replacement Jacobus Van Tonder broke the All Blacks line and fell just short of the posts, allowing Cameron Woki to cross off the back. France were reduced to 14 after try-scorer Villiere was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-down, but New Zealand couldn't capitalize. Billy Proctor and Jordan had tries disallowed for a knock-on and obstruction respectively, as the television match official drew loud boos from the capacity crowd. A Beauden Barrett penalty extended the lead to 31-27 with six minutes remaining but France immediately gained territory as they searched for the winning try with the clock ticking down. A knock-on with 90 seconds remaining allowed the All Blacks to regain possession and hang on for a hard-fought victory.

Family of French journalist jailed in Algeria asks Zidane for help
The family of a French sports journalist who has been sentenced to seven years in prison in Algeria is calling for help from the sporting world and football superstar Zinédine Zidane, who is of Algerian descent. Christophe Gleizes, a 36-year-old freelance journalist, was sentenced last week over an interview with an Algerian football coach accused of ties to a banned separatist movement, in a case rights groups say criminalises routine reporting. Although Gleizes' family had been reportedly advised to keep quiet about their son's detention by French diplomats, following his sentencing, they decided to break their silence. In an interview with French broadcaster France 2 on Thursday evening, Gleizes' relatives called on sports personalities to support his case. "It would be great if Zinédine Zidane were to get involved in this fight,' said Gleizes' father in law, Francis Godard. Godard added that the case was "a fight for both freedom of the press and the world of football. Journalists are mobilised, as we know, but we would like the sporting world to be just as mobilised. Christophe is a sports journalist and is therefore interested in the business of sport. This concerns the world of sport very directly." Although Gleizes has been tried and convicted, prosecutors have not publicly announced the charges and Algerian officials have not commented on the case. Algerian authorities have been repeatedly accused of using anti-terrorism laws to target political speech by rights advocates. A case dating back to May 2024 Journalist and football fan Gleizes was arrested in May 2024, after travelling to Algeria to write a series of articles, including a piece about the golden era of the Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie football club, located in the Kabylia region. On 28 May, Gleizes was arrested and placed under judicial supervision for having entered Algeria on a tourist visa, "glorifying terrorism," and "possessing propaganda publications harmful to the national interest," Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said last week, stating that the charges were "unfounded." According to RSF, the charges stem from the fact that Gleizes was in contact with a coach from the Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie (JSK) football club, located in the Kabylie region of Algeria. The Algerian government opposes Kabylie independence and has cracked down on groups backing it. RSF reported that the individual who Gleizes was in touch with, happens to be a leading figure in the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylie (MAK), which was designated a terrorist organisation by the Algerian authorities in 2021. However, RSF added that "the first interactions between Christopher Gleizes and the individual in question occurred in 2015 and 2017, well before the MAK was proscribed as a terrorist entity." Years later, in 2024, in preparation for his piece on the JSK football club, Gleizes made contact with the individual again, however this is not something which he concealed. The French journalist's sentence was handed down as relations between France and Algeria have reached new lows. The two countries are sparring over migration, extradition, trade and France's change in position over the status of the disputed Western Sahara.
