First Monday of the month completed! Now let's move into the news.
Today, the last of the surviving D-Day commando ranks, Frenchman Leon Gautier died at age 100. He had participated in the liberation invasion at the age of 21.
Also, today was day 3, stage 3 of Tour de France, the world's largest cycling event. Yesterday's stage winner was French racer Victor Lafay on the 130-mi (209-km) track from Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastian, Spain. Today's stage winner was Belgian racer Jasper Phillipsen on the 115-mi (185-km) track from Amorebieta-Etxano, Spain to Bayonne, France.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has banned the upcoming movie Barbie from airing in this southeast-Asian country for a very unique reason. Apparently, in one of Barbie's scenes, there is a map which says all of the South China Sea is under Chinese control, while in real life, all the countries surrounding the water body also have a claim on it, including Vietnam.
