The car crash continues - BeIn were trying to get out of their deal where they've paid €332m per season for picks 2 & 3, on the basis that Amazon have swept in after the collapse of the MediaPro debacle and got the remaining 8 matches for €275m. The courts appear to be in the Ligue's favour.

Just to clarify, are you saying that rights have been awarded today, for a competition that starts tomorrow?! Sorry to ask - football isn't my thing but last-minute deals (*cough* Sanzaar *cough) are very much a topic of interest.

Have BT renewed their deal now?
No announcement on who has the rights to that yet, it starts next week (and Bundesliga 2 started a couple of weeks ago!). No news of Serie A yet either, which starts a week later.
The rumour mill suggests both might have new, different homes, but we'll see.
Something which appears to be confirmed though (in as much as it's in the published listings) is that BT Sport have Portuguese football again, starting with Porto v Belenenses on Sunday.
