    Monaco Weekly News by NEWS.MC - ep 100

    This week marks a special milestone as NEWS.MC TV celebrates its 100th episode. To mark the occasion, we bring you another round-up of the biggest stories from Monaco, beginning with a major signing for AS Monaco ahead of the new football season. AS Monaco completed the signing of French striker Matthis Abline on July the 30th, securing the 23-year-old on a five-year contract from Nantes. After contributing eight goals and seven assists last season, Abline arrives in the Principality in a deal reportedly worth between €25 million and €30 million, strengthening Monaco's attacking options ahead of the new campaign. Music filled the Cour d'Honneur of the Prince's Palace on July the 30th as the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra continued its celebrated summer concert series. Conducted by Juraj Valčuha, the programme featured works by Bernstein, Sibelius and Prokofiev, while acclaimed Japanese violinist Sayaka Shoji captivated audiences with an outstanding performance of Sibelius's Violin Concerto on her 1729 Stradivarius. Monaco's commitment to animal welfare remains at the heart of the redevelopment of the Rainier III Zoo. Announced on July the 31st, the long-term project continues with the careful relocation of nearly 450 animals representing around 70 species, ensuring their wellbeing while work progresses on creating a modern conservation-focused facility. One of the biggest transfers of the summer has also been completed, with Maghnes Akliouche joining Paris Saint-Germain from AS Monaco. The reported €50 million deal follows months of negotiations, making the talented attacking midfielder the most expensive signing in Ligue 1 during the current transfer window. Conservation efforts extended far beyond the Principality on August the 1st as the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation awarded its prestigious Camp Monaco Prize. The $100,000 award will support research protecting the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem from the spread of invasive cheatgrass, continuing a scientific partnership inspired by the pioneering expeditions of Prince Albert I. Monaco joined commemorations on August the 3rd marking the European Day of Remembrance for the Roma and Sinti Holocaust. Representatives gathered at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp to honour the thousands of Roma and Sinti victims murdered during the liquidation of the so-called "Gypsy Family Camp" in August 1944. Public safety has also been strengthened in the Principality with new regulations banning flares, Bengal lights and other open flames in entertainment venues. Introduced following the tragic nightclub fire in Crans-Montana, the measures reinforce Monaco's already rigorous fire safety standards for restaurants, clubs and live entertainment venues. Marine conservation returned to Monaco's waters on August the 4th as the ACCOBAMS Survey Initiative resumed its international research campaign. Scientists aboard the research vessel Song of the Whale are combining ship-based observations with aerial surveys to monitor whales, dolphins and other marine wildlife across the Mediterranean, updating data first collected during the landmark 2018 survey. And to celebrate this landmark broadcast, NEWS.MC TV's 100th guest is Seb Delanney, the internationally recognised automotive and lifestyle influencer. In an exclusive interview, Seb discusses his passion for performance cars, the evolution of digital content creation, and why Monaco continues to be one of the world's premier destinations for automotive culture.
