Currently, three of Total’s refineries are blocked, including its largest, in Normandy, as well as a fuel depot near Flandres in the north, after a blockade began almost two weeks ago. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/oth...pc=U531&cvid=0de407dee96c4fc3878acbd57a3522e1

French nuclear supply and maintenance disrupted by strike Reuters PARIS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Strikes by workers reduced power generation at EDF's (EDF.PA) nuclear reactors in France by 1.4 gigawatts (GW) by 1018 GMT on Thursday and lowered hydropower output by 220 megawatts (MW), the company said. The strike is part of a larger social movement throughout France - over wage demands, pensions and purchasing power as inflation spirals across Europe - that has seen refining strikes restrict fuel supply in the north of the country. https://www.reuters.com/business/en...tion-disrupted-by-strike-2022-10-06/?rpc=401&

Bloody Buggery Bollocks Boris Brexit. On life support: can France's struggling healthcare system be saved? "It's pretty catastrophic" "We don’t have the adequate structure, neither the adequate conditions, nor the adequate tools, or enough staff. It's getting complicated.” That was the picture Maxime Bartolini painted for me. The young accident and emergency nurse works at the Fréjus St. Raphaël hospital, on the French Riviera. He had the look of someone who had been through a lot. "We’ve been working at a sustained, high pace, since December," he explained. "The closure of the secondary hospital departments at night, it’s meant we’ve had to reorganise. The ambulances are also overwhelmed. It's a danger for the patient, and we're overloaded. We do more than our duties, we help each other. We do what we can, but now we're running out of solutions, it's pretty catastrophic." https://www.euronews.com/2022/07/08...frances-struggling-healthcare-system-be-saved
