British Netflix series Adolescence to be shown in French schools, says minister of education
Following UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcoming plans to air Netflix's hit show Adolescence in secondary schools, France is following suit, with French Minister of Education Élisabeth Borne stating yesterday that the mini-series will be screened from secondary school level upwards. In an interview for LCI news channel, Borne explained that the producer of the series 'gave us the rights' and that the Ministry of Education was therefore going to 'offer five educational sequences for young people based on this series'.These extracts from Adolescence, which have already been shown in British schools to stimulate debate and try to 'prevent young boys from being dragged into a whirlpool of hatred and misogyny,' are 'very representative of the violence that can exist among young people', according to Borne. The aim is to help raise awareness of the problem of 'overexposure to screens and the trivialisation of violence on these social networks,' as well as the spread of masculinist theories and misogyny, argues Borne. The four-part series follows how a father deals with the fallout of his 13-year-old son being suspected of stabbing one of his classmates to death. Beyond the spot-on acting, the show has felt like a cultural wake-up call, as it has prompted a wider discussion about toxic masculinity and the devastating influence of the so-called 'manosphere' on young minds who are faced with websites and online forums promoting misogyny and ultra-conservative models of masculinity that flirt with far-right ideologies. When it was confirmed that Netflix would be making the series available to all UK secondary schools, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote a column for the Daily Mail saying that he didn't see the good in the initiative, calling the show 'tosh'. He wrote: 'In making this announcement with full prime ministerial authority amid the ancient solemnity of the cabinet room, Keir Starmer has perfectly encapsulated the fundamental flatulence of the government, and its emetic finger-wagging mixture of humbug and wokery.' Johnson went on to say that he believes the move to show the series in school time demonstrates the government's 'cruel indifference to the real educational needs of children today,' adding: 'In case you haven't watched Adolescence I can save you the bother. It's tosh - well-acted tosh.' Predictably, Johnson also introduced race to his argument, saying that 'unlike the teenage couple in this drama, the victims and perpetrators are disproportionately young black males.' The show's co-creator Jack Thorne has already spoken out on this theory, saying, 'It's absurd to say that (knife crime) is only committed by black boys. It's not true and history shows a lot of cases of kids from all races committing these crimes.' Thorne also stated that the goal of the show was not about 'making a point about race' but to make a point 'about masculinity.' 'We're trying to get inside a problem,' he added. 'We're not saying this is one thing or another, we're saying that this is about boys.' The decision to show the series in French schools comes after Laëtitia Curetti, who has a 13-year-old son, wrote to Borne and launched an online petition to have the series shown in secondary schools across France. Curetti stated she believes the series could be an 'excellent educational tool' to raise awareness of the dangers of social networking, sexism, bullying and violence in schools. The discussion surrounding knife crime has increased since the success of the series in France. It has been further amplified after a 16-year-old stabbed a high school student to death and injured three other fellow students at the lycée Notre-Dame de Toutes Aides in Nantes on 24 April. "My thoughts go out first to the teenager who lost her life, to the three students who were injured, and I want to express all my support and solidarity to these victims, their families and their loved ones," declared Borne at the school, before paying tribute to the "establishment staff who intervened and neutralized the attacker." French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau spoke of "a tragedy that rocks us." He said he was "appalled" and "shocked" by "the violence that has been unleashed," before adding that the tragic incident was "not a mere news item but a societal issue."

The Team From Kingfield's ‘Midwest French' Bistro Is Still Digesting Its James Beard Nomination
Jeanie Janas Ritter and Adam Ritter first found out that their Kingfield bistro, Bûcheron, was a finalist for the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in a text from their former boss, Minneapolis culinary icon Gavin Kaysen. The husband-and-wife duo had made a name for themselves working at Kaysen's celebrated restaurants — including Spoon and Stable, Demi, and the soon-to-be-revived Bellecour — before opening Bûcheron just over a year ago. The intimate restaurant quickly earned a devoted following for its refined, French fare. 'We were stunned. It was a couple of crazy days of people emailing and texting us,' says Jeanie, the restaurant's hospitality director. 'One of my favorite moments was when we shared it in our team group chat because of the genuine excitement and pride. It was clear to me that it's everybody's recognition.' Bûcheron is one of 10 nominees in the category and the only restaurant from the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. (The only other Minnesota restaurant ever nominated in the category was Owamni, which brought home the award in 2022.) This year, they will be joined by a cadre of other Minnesotans for Best Chef: Midwest nominees, including Shigeyuki Furukawa of Kado no Mise, Diane Moua of Diane's Place, and Karyn Tomlinson of Myriel. Bar Brava is a finalist for its notable wine program. Jeanie sees a common thread among the Twin Cities restaurants that are garnering national attention. 'I think that Minnesota cuisine is defined by the ingredients rather than the technique,' says Jeanie. 'And when you think about the most exciting restaurants in Minneapolis that people are talking about, the techniques at each of those places are pretty dramatically different, but I think there's a similar thread of ingredients that you start to find.' The menu at Bûcheron is often described as a Midwestern interpretation of the French bistronomy movement, which seems in line with the clear-eyed vision for the restaurant. 'We approach [the food] as 'Midwest French.' Like using a French technique for a Midwestern dish or a French dish with Midwestern ingredients,' says chef Adam Ritter. 'A lot of places you go nowadays, it's like a hodgepodge of different cuisines. So we try to stay in that lane.' Adam isn't interested in over-manipulating components or disguising their origins. He says that guests and other chefs were pleasantly surprised when he served celery root tortellini in an acorn broth earlier this year. At a dinner last June, he fashioned a tiny frozen tree out of a dolgo crab apple and lilac bushes to mimic a photo in a book by local artist Mary Jo Hoffman. Ingredients from local producers embed a sense of place into Bûcheron's menu — wild rice from the Indigenous Food Lab, beef from Fellers Ranch, and jam from Adam's uncle's raspberry bushes. To keep ingredients as local as possible — Adam insists Minnesota chanterelles are better than those on the West Coast — his team freezes local produce at peak ripeness to serve year-round. 'Everything needs to taste like what it is, so if a carrot is on the plate, it should taste like a carrot,' says Adam. 'I want to make it delicate to where you can taste everything that's in the dish harmoniously.' The Ritters' decision to open a restaurant was motivated by both the needs of their growing family and their passion for excellent food and hospitality. The couple, who have two toddlers, wanted to create a positive work environment for their family and employees. 'We were on a walk with our baby right before I went back from maternity leave,' says Jeanie. 'Being in the restaurant business with young children is really hard, there's a lot of nights solo parenting. We knew if we wanted to do this and make it work, we needed to do it on our own terms.' Being independent restaurant owners has allowed the owners to have more control over their schedules and realize their vision for the menu. The Ritters made time for their family by hiring a team of trusted and familiar faces — both in the kitchen and front of house — that hold the same high culinary standards that they have. A few of Adam's former Demi colleagues joined the Ritters at Bûcheron, including chef de cuisine Cory Western and general manager Tyler McLeod. And thanks to years of developing relationships with the Twin Cities' most discerning diners, the Bûcheron team enjoys the company of many old friends throughout the week. One of the ways their community comes together is through bimonthly tasting dinners, some centered on the cuisines of regions in Spain or France, and others based on a fellow chef's memoir or a book of photography, like Hoffman's. 'We've built up a really good community of guests at other restaurants over the last eight years,' says Jeanie. 'We've gotten so close with so many of our regulars that when we have a hog roast for our team twice a year, a lot of them come.' With the James Beard spotlight now shining on Bûcheron, the Ritters remain committed to improving the day-to-day experience of running a neighborhood bistro. Reservations are booking out faster than ever, though they're quick to note that the bar is always open for walk-ins. Amid the buzz, the Ritters are still focused on the fundamentals: improving building operations, deepening relationships with local producers, and chipping away at their SBA loan. While staffed by many industry veterans, the Bûcheron team is still learning the day-to-day realities of overseeing a small neighborhood bistro. It's housed in an older building, and while guests might admire the ambiance by Christian Dean Architecture, behind the scenes, much of the first year has been spent steadily making improvements. Each season brings its own challenges — freezing temperatures, spring rain, and blazing sun which means problem-solving so the patio tables aren't baking hot. Recognition is exciting, but success still looks like hard work, smart decisions, and dishes that taste like home. Sign up for our newsletter.

Frederick Forsyth dies aged 86
Frederick Forsyth has died at the age of 86. A statement released by his literary agent, Curtis Brown, said that he died at home after a brief illness surrounded by his family. The British author, who was one of the youngest ever RAF pilots and a former journalist, published more than 25 books. His novels, which include The Day of the Jackal, have sold over 75 million copies. Mr Forsyth's agent, Jonathan Lloyd, said: 'We mourn the passing of one of the world's greatest thriller writers. 'Only a few weeks ago I sat with him as we watched a new and moving documentary of his life - In My Own Words, to be released later this year on BBC1 – and was reminded of an extraordinary life, well lived.' Mr Lloyd described how the author had used 'his gift for languages in German, French and Russian' to become a foreign correspondent in Biafra. 'Appalled at what he saw and using his experience during a stint as a Secret Service agent, he wrote his first and perhaps most famous novel,' Mr Forsyth's agent continued. The novel, The Day of The Jackal, was published in 1972 and propelled Forsyth to the status of a global bestselling author. It has since been adapted into a film and more recently, a TV series starring Eddie Redmayne. Mr Lloyd said: 'He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, all of us at Curtis Brown and of course his millions of fans around the world - though his books will of course live on forever.' The acclaimed writer was only 17-years-old when he got into the Royal Air Force and later, when he was a journalist, worked in Paris and East Berlin at the height of the Cold War. He has previously told The Telegraph that he had 'good luck to be able to turn lots of that [experience] into books' but that he had 'no lust to be 90'. He wrote in the newspaper six years ago, when he was aged 80: 'So, unless I go completely crazy, which I don't intend to do, the rest of my days should be comfortable. 'As for the future, I may survive the next decade but I've no lust to be 90. I don't know what I'd do, beyond what I'm doing nowadays, which is getting up in the morning, reading the Telegraph and the Mail and having all my prejudices reconfirmed, brewing up a cup of char and then going down the pub for lunch.' His publisher, Bill Scott-Kerr, wrote: 'Transworld's long relationship with Frederick Forsyth began in 1972 with the Corgi paperback publication of The Day of the Jackal. 'With its never-before-read ice-cool writing, iconic jacket and a protagonist for the ages, The Day of the Jackal was an instant bestseller across the world and immediately propelled Freddie into a globally successful career which would span the next fifty years across books, films and most recently television.' The popular novel remains the first and most enduring of his 16 thrillers and follows a hired assassin who targets the French president Charles de Gaulle. The TV adaptation marked the third to reach the screen, following one fronted by Edward Fox in 1973, and another that Forsyth disowns, with Bruce Willis in 1997. Mr Scott-Kerr continued: 'Having long held The Day of the Jackal as the blueprint of the modern thriller, I was honoured to become his editor for Avenger in 2002 and have remained so ever since. 'Working with Freddie has been one of the great pleasures of my professional life, perhaps never more so when he pulled back the curtain on his eventful life in his autobiography, The Outsider, one of the most entertaining and fascinating nonfiction books you could hope to read.' He added that Forsyth's journalistic background 'brought a rigour and a metronomic efficiency to his working practice and his nose for and understanding of a great story kept his novels both thrillingly contemporary and fresh'. 'It was a joy and an education to watch him at work,' he continued. 'Still read by millions across the world, Freddie's thrillers define the genre and are still the benchmark to which contemporary writers aspire. 'He leaves behind a peerless legacy which will continue to excite and entertain for years to come.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
