Actu Foot reported that Jérôme Rothen had strongly criticized Rayan Cherki, expecting more from him with the French national team. He believed that the player should not be placed on the same level as Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise, and had stated that he was not fixating on him. Rothen also mentioned Cherki's comments about an exchange with Bettoni and his desire to come on to show what he could do. He wondered why the player had waited until the last 20 minutes of the match to show himself, after the first three matches. While acknowledging that there had been some good and some less good, Rothen judged that Cherki had not convincingly done enough to be an undisputed starter. #Cherki #Bleus #Football (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote that Antonius served among Gustav Vasa's retainers in 1527 and carried a halberd. According to Sfeir, he was referred to in the documents as Antonius Blåman, where Blåman was an older term for a dark-skinned man. Sfeir stated that Antonius was still serving in the king's life regiment in 1540, but there was a lack of information about his origin, when he died, where he went, or where he was buried. Almost 500 years later, according to Sfeir, only his name and a few lines in history remained. #Historia #Sverige #Reformationen (translated)

Senator Shane Jett asked the Brazilian people to pray and keep the faith, and published a prayer for the protection of the elections in Brazil. He requested that the ballot boxes, poll workers, candidates, voters, and institutions be protected, and that voters have discernment to vote guided by the truth. Citing Ephesians 6:12, he described the dispute as spiritual and asked for the plans of people who, according to him, acted in bad faith to be frustrated. Jett also requested protection against lies, manipulations, and violence, in addition to blessings for Flavio Bolsonaro and his family. He asked for them to have wisdom, courage, and peace. #Oração #Fé #Brasil (translated)

Bleu Blanc Rouge reported that, on Friday, October 2, 2026, a plainclothes police officer was assaulted near the Gustave-Courbet high school in Belfort and hospitalized after losing consciousness. The author noted that the public prosecutor had opened an investigation for attempted voluntary homicide and that the Minister of the Interior had described the images of the assault as particularly violent. The author reported that the account AlertesInfos, followed according to him by more than 850,000 people, claimed that the policeman could be seen trying to drown a high school student. He added that the public prosecutor of Belfort, Paul-Édouard Lallois, disputed this interpretation: according to the elements cited by the author, the two men had slipped into a stream and the video that was broadcast had been edited. He also wrote that AlertesInfos had relayed the prosecutor's denial while maintaining its version, relying on testimonies from people present. Bleu Blanc Rouge accused the account of spreading unverified information while presenting itself as a neutral media. It also claimed that its manager, a student named Moussa according to public notices, was not a journalist and that the account had already been criticized in 2018 for relaying false information. The author finally characterized AlertesInfos and other accounts as pro-LFI activists, accusing them of spreading false information to incite anger among their supporters, and expressed the hope that the police officer would file a complaint after his recovery. #FakeNews #ViolenceUrbaines #Justice (translated)

Cerfia 4d

Cerfia reported that the prosecutor in Belfort disputed the version claiming that a police officer, who was later violently assaulted, attempted to drown a high school student during his arrest. According to the magistrate, the video circulated on social media was edited: the commander allegedly isolated the young man from the crowd, handcuffed him in the river, and then lifted him up. The prosecutor would have believed that the commander's account matched the footage, which later showed the high school student in good health and walking with the police officer before the assault, according to Cerfia, citing BFM. #Justice #France #Actualités (translated)

I am learning via an AFP dispatch that the police prefect of Paris has sent a report concerning me to the public prosecutor of Bobigny in the context of the high school mobilizations. I take note of this and I will naturally respond to any request from the judiciary. This report seeks to lend credibility to a controversy based on truncated quotes and biased videos. Facts, however, are stubborn and prove that violence is not our method of action. Each of my visits to the various blockades has sought to ensure safe and serene conditions for young people so that they can express their demands. That is the essential matter and nothing should distract us from it. These demands call for a political response, not for silence or repression. And, whatever happens, I will continue to stand by their side, peacefully and firmly. #Mobilisations #Justice #Lycéens (translated)
