On the front page of the press, the European sky “affected by several dozen bomb threats” in recent days. “Chaos in the sky”, headline La Stampa and Il Corriere della Sera. Italian newspapers return to the Dublin-Rome flight, diverted to the military base at Évreux, in Normandy, after receiving a bomb threat. According to the Financial Times, the “threat is growing”. For Thursday alone, around thirty planes had to land urgently throughout Europe, in Bulgaria and Poland in particular, recalls The Guardian. Each time, the scenario repeats itself: bomb threat, emergency landing and, ultimately, an alert that turns out to be false.

Is this a hoax or a desire to cause harm, asks Le Figaro? One name comes up in the demands: "the masculine state", a movement, supposedly, of "Russian, ultra-right, racist and misogynistic" origin, according to the press, which seeks to attack the "too much place given to women" in Western societies.

In the United States, the press continues to dissect the bitter defeat of Donald Trump and the Republican camp. For the New York Times, the “Maga only got what he deserves” camp. The article cites a key figure: "13 points ahead" in the popular vote for the Democrats in the House of Representatives. This is unheard of since the presidential election of Ronald Reagan in 1984 and if we had to go back to a mid-term election, we would have to go back to 1974. The "Maga" are tearing themselves apart, recalls Le Figaro, just like its main figures.

For La Repubblica, the vice-president distances himself from Donald by criticizing the war in Iran and Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, is reportedly considering resigning, even though the latter has denied this information. Both are favorites to obtain the Republican nomination for the 2028 presidential election. By giving the war in Iran as the main reason for this electoral defeat, "JD Vance has engaged in an appalling act of disloyalty", criticizes the Washington Post.

A football legend bows out in selection. Cristiano Ronaldo hangs up his boots with the Portugal team. At almost 42 years old, he will forever remain "the eternal No. 7", recalls A Bola, who allowed the Seleçao to win their three international titles including Euro 2016. A "story for eternity", salutes the Spanish magazine, AS, marked however by a missed outing recalled by L'Equipe. Last September, "CR7" had hastily left the Portuguese gathering, upset at not having played a match, by decision of the coach, Jorge Jesus' official announcement of his departure allows Ronaldo to "catch up a little", even if his fans would have preferred a more dignified exit, like a certain Lionel Messi, who said his farewell with great fanfare with the Argentina team.
