Apologies if this has already been covered:

Le Figaro - France : Sonde Pitot : un nouvel incident chez Air France

Le Figaro is reporting a pitot failure incident on an Air France A320 (flight 1905) on July 13 this year. It was equipped with the new Thales BA pitots which are meant to be more reliable. Incident only lasted a minute or so.
SNPL pilots' union may ask for the new Thales pitots to be replaced by Goodrich versions.
