Some of France’s doctors consider emigration

Many feel unwelcome

PARIS – In the southern French town

where Tunisian doctor Tasnime La-
biedh works, the far-right National Ral-
ly (RN) came top with 41% in the first
round of France’s election. Now, she’s
thinking of moving to Switzerland.
“Already we are not spoilt here, but if
we have (Jordan) Bardella as prime min-
ister, it will be grim. They play on the
fear of the other,” said Labiedh, 33, re-
ferring to the president of the RN.
She moved to France in 2021 during
the COVID-19 pandemic for her medical
internship and now works as a microbi-
ologist on a salary lower than that of her
French counterparts.
After the RN came top in the first
round in France’s legislative election
last Sunday, some doctors of foreign ori-
gin are questioning whether they will
stay in a country that they feel does not
respect their rights or make them feel
welcome.
Polls predict that the RN will win the
largest share of seats in parliament but
not a majority.

In its daily update of people killed in

the nearly nine-month-old war, the Ga-

strikes across the enclave killed at least
29 Palestinians in the past 24 hours and
wounded 100 others.
Among those killed in separate air
strikes on Saturday were five local jour-

killed since Oct. 7 to 158, according to
the Hamas-led Gaza government media

Gaza health authorities say more

killed in Israel’s offensive.
Israel has lost 323 soldiers in Gaza

for Chicago
Street Race
Reid Spencer
SPECIAL TO FIELD LEVEL MEDIA

CHICAGO – Kyle Larson made the

most of his last chance in qualifying on
Saturday, edging Ty Gibbs for the pole
position for Sunday’s Grant Park 165
NASCAR Cup Series on the Chicago
Street Course (4:30 p.m. ET on NBC,
MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
On his final lap in the final round of
time trials on the tight 2.2-mile course,
Larson’s No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports
Chevrolet covered the distance in
87.836 seconds (90.168 mph) to outrun
Gibbs (90.158 mph) by .010 seconds.
“It wasn’t perfect,” said Larson, who
ran a track-record 90.496 mph (87.518
seconds) in the opening round. “It was
better than my first lap (in the final
round), but I think I had better grip po-
tential on the first lap, so I wish I could
have had a couple corners back there.
“Judging by the reaction from my
spotter, it had to be pretty close on lap
time, so really awesome to get a pole
here in Chicago … (We’ve) checked the
first box and, hopefully, we can keep it
going.”
The Busch Light Pole award was
Larson’s series-best fifth of the season
and the 21st of his career. His three vic-
tories this year, however, have come
from starting positions of second,
fourth and fifth.
Michael McDowell qualified third at
90.141 mph, followed by Tyler Reddick
(89.923 mph) and defending race win-
ner Shane van Gisbergen (89.813 mph).
