On Thursday the French National Assembly approved a bill repealing the Code Noir, a set of 17th- and 18th-century royal edicts regulating slavery in French colonies. The measure, introduced by Guadeloupe lawmaker Max Mathiasin, passed without opposition despite the fact that slavery itself had been abolished in 1848. The repeal addresses statutes that had never been formally struck from the books after abolition.

Meteorological agencies recorded May temperatures more than 10 °C above seasonal averages across western Europe, with new records set in Britain, Ireland and France. A high-pressure heat dome is cited by Météo France as the immediate cause. Attribution of the anomalies to human-driven climate change remains contested among analysts.
