From a union ultimatum and farmer protests to wine sales, a cup final and a moment of judgement for ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, here's what is happening in France this week. Palestine recognition - at the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, Emmanuel Macron will formally recognise the state of Palestine. Ballon d'Or - the annual awards for the world's best footballers will be judged in Paris on Monday evening. If they do not get a satisfactory response, they will announce further strike action - although any strike dates are likely to be next week or the week after. Cup final - the final of the women's rugby world cup will be held in England.
