France's Macron promises pride, hope for 2024
In his annual New Year address, French President Emmanuel Macron said that 2024 will be a year of French pride and hope, marked by the Summer Olympic games in Paris and the reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral after it was destroyed by a fire in 2019.
In a 13-minute televised address broadcast ahead of New Year's celebrations, Macron called for 2024 to be a "year of determination, choices, recovery, pride".
