2018

The year 2018 is referenced in two distinct news contexts. Firstly, it marks the launch of a major urban renovation plan in Montargis, France. Recent reporting highlights ongoing concerns and the limitations of this plan, as detailed in an article by 'Le Monde' focusing on the daily lives of the city's inhabitants during municipal elections. Secondly, 2018 is implicitly relevant to current FIFA World Cup broadcast rights negotiations. While not explicitly stated as a 2018 event, the article discusses the sale of media rights for an upcoming World Cup, indicating that the absence of deals in India and China is a significant development. This lack of broadcast agreements for major upcoming sporting events in populous nations is newsworthy due to the potential impact on millions of fans and ongoing discussions with FIFA.
