A HOAX ?

DONALD TRUMP LOCKED BY THE FBI ?

Donald Trump president spied by the intelligence services of his own country ?

That's what could have happened to the 45th President of the United States in the spring of 2017, according to former FBI chief Andrew McCabe.

He reveals during the American show "60 Minutes" Sunday, February 17 that Rod Rosenstein, No. 2 Justice, also reported a possible sidelining Donald Trump. Rod Rosenstein supervised the Russian investigation.

This possibility of removing Donald Trump from power, would have been possible thanks to amendment 25 of the US Constitution.

This amendment authorizes the vice-president and a majority of the cabinet to declare the president "unfit" to perform his duties.

"He wanted to bug the White House," said Andrew McCabe.

He had "just raised this point and discussed it with me, wondering how many members of the cabinet would be able to support such an effort," continued Andrew McCabe, fired from the FBI in turn in March 2018.

Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Minister of Justice, would have been "very worried about the president, his capacity, his intentions" at that time, ie after the sacking of James Comey in May 2017.

The question that worked Rod Rosenstein was, according to McCabe, the dismissal by Donald Trump of James Comey, former director of the FBI, in May 2017.

Rosenstein was convinced that the departure of the FBI director was linked to investigations into suspicions of Moscow's interference in his election campaign.

In the ranks of the Republicans, an "administrative coup attempt" is denounced

Thursday, February 14, during the broadcast of first extracts of this interview, Donald Trump had counterattacked on Twitter:

"The disgraced interim FBI leader, Andrew McCabe, claims to be a 'poor little angel' when he played a big role in (...) the Russian hoax".

THE FAREWELL TO THE TEARS OF ALAIN JUPPE

IN "BORDEAUX LA BELLE"

The Constitutional Council comprises 9 members, plus one ex officio member, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, in his capacity as former President of the Republic. It is renewable by 1/3, the unique mandate of a member not exceeding 9 years.

It was necessary at the beginning of the year 2019 to appoint 3 new "magistrates" to replace those positioned on the starting line or deceased.

According to the Constitution, the power of appointment belongs to:

- President of the Republic who has just appointed Jacques Mézard, former Secretary of State, Senator

- Speaker of the Senate who has just appointed Jean Jacques Hyest, Senator

- President of the National Assembly who has just appointed Alain Juppé

It is within the scope of his attributions that Richard Ferrand has appointed Alain Juppé.

This decision, which was made public on 14 February 2019, immediately gave rise to comments, mostly acidic, with the exception, for example, of François Baroin, a long-time friend of Alain Juppé and President of the Association of Mayors of France.

The fireworks of the critics began the day after the announcement with, the first of them, that we had to notice, namely that of Nicolas Canteloup who did not hesitate to qualify " this democratic bug, agree between reprinted justice ".

It is true that Alain Juppé was convicted in 2004 in the famous case of the fictitious jobs of the mayor of Paris then chaired by Jacques Chirac, but also that Richard Ferrand is today put in review in the context of a dark case of personal enrichment, embezzlement and fraud to the detriment of Mutuelles de Bretagne.

A chabada chabada affair (Ferrand / Juppé) on Valentine's Day!

There was more bad!

Alain Juppe fearing to take "a jerk" in the upcoming municipal elections in Bordeaux, would have preferred to join the paradise (near the Grévin Museum) policies, namely the Constitutional Council or the average age is 70 years and over.

The Constitutional Council is, it is true, in the process of becoming a political cemetery where we recase the friends or those who we wish to see definitively leave the political life or those who through the questions submitted could make the decisions expected by the power.

The next day, Alain Juppé immediately gave a press conference, whose main point, "sobs in his voice" was addressed to the Bordelais to whom he had promised to remain until the end of his mandate?

In the ranks of the Bordeaux opposition, we have obviously hammered the nail: "Pharaonic expenditure (see our previous editions) committed by Alain Juppé, to make Bordeaux, a beautiful, emptied the boxes! Alain Juppé does not leave Bordeaux by the main door; he has simply secured a golden retirement at the Constitutional Council ". The social crisis has indeed passed through the city of Bordeaux where Yellow Vests have massively manifested, the popular layers have been boosted outside the city as a result of the changes promoted by Alain Juppé and its Municipal Council. Bordeaux have seen red for many weeks.

But the rejection of Alain Juppé by the Bordelais may not be the only reason for his departure?

The news fell by means of a sober statement made by the person concerned to the press on 14 February. Even his closest associates were not, it seems, in the secret. In their vast majority the Bordelais were not aware too.

Yet there had been some early warning signs. Alain Juppé, out of rupture for many months with the Republicans, since the election of Emmanuel Macron, had he not announced in January that he would not renew his membership in the party? The rapprochement with the President of the Republic had not materialized by the appointment of his former protégé, Edouard Philippe to Matignon, a symbol!

Yet it is said behind the scenes that the appointment of Alain Juppé to the Constitutional Council would have created collateral damage in the macronie itself and in the macronie of the Elysée more precisely, which for 3 months had expressed its disagreement vis-à-vis Richard Ferrand's intentions and to the end sought to convince him of another choice, to no avail.

The President of the National Assembly who wanted to "make a coup" remained deaf to the recommendations of the Elysee who also organized a game of musical chairs. The appointment of Alain Juppé has, contrary to appearances much upset the Elysee.

Alain Juppe will therefore land on rue Montpensier where he will sit alongside Laurent Fabius, the current President of the Constitutional Council, also convicted in the case of tainted blood.

Having become Sage, Alain Juppé will now be on the reserve and will not be able to support the Macron / LREM list of the next European elections, a support that would certainly have been very useful.

Yet the two men had lunch together on Tuesday, February 12th?

In spite of everything, Alain Juppe, who had been beaten by François Fillon in the primaries of the right, had remained against the odds of a right-wing figure.

As a result, his appointment to the Constitutional Council will leave the field open to those who intend to take over the torch of the current of the social and moderate right he represented, like the example of Valérie Pecresse or Xavier Bertrand, who will certainly not resume the slogan of "happy identity" that made a large part of the right electorate go back.

Because, at this end of the game, it should be noted that Alain Juppé had put the worm in the fruit of the French right that it disintegrated from the inside.

And from this point of view, it will be noted that the one who was "the best of us" is demonstrating the opposite of Edouard Herriot's famous formula "the intelligent man is the one who measures that he can understand. In fact, since the dawn of his political career Alain Juppé has understood nothing of France and the French.

Good luck, Mr. Juppé to the Constitutional Council !

INVASIVE UP FROM ANTISEMITISM

IN THE ENTIRE EUROPE

This is evidenced by the European barometer of the EU. In France the Minister of the Interior has announced a leap anti-Semitic acts over a year of 74%, unfortunately illustrated recently by the face of Simone Veil crossed with a swastika, the degradation of trees planted in memory of Ilan Halimi or anti-Semitic insults against the essayist and academician Alain Finkelkraut.

On February 12, 2019 in the Assembly, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe declared: "I share this anger (...) in front of more and more acts, which target the people or the places, the anti-Semitic acts against the memory of Ilan Halimi, the anti-Semitic acts against the memory of Simone Veil, the inscriptions placed here and there on such and such a sign ". This phenomenon is not recent and is not unique to France.

The situation in other European countries is not good either. Germany is no more spared: in 2017, the Ministry of the Interior has noted an increase in anti-Semitic acts.

681 reports during the first semester, 27 more than the previous year (+ 4%). Faced with the worsening of the situation, Germany appointed in May the lawyer and diplomat Felix Klein as the head of the fight against anti-Semitism with the federal government.

According to the Jewish Community Security Trust (CST), which lists antisemitic incidents in the United Kingdom since 1984 and has just published its 2018 report, these acts increased by 16% last year, from 1420 to 1652.

In Poland, on 27 January, the extreme right organized for the first time a demonstration on the site of Auschwitz-Birkenau on the occasion of the annual day in memory of the victims where dozens of Polish nationalists had gathered.

"The Jewish nation and Israel are doing everything to change the history of the Polish nation," said Piotr Rybak of the Polish Independence Movement, the organizer of the protest. "Polish patriots can not admit that," he added. Across Europe, far-right political parties are accused of fanning anti-Semitism.

In the image of the AfD in Germany, several leaders were criticized for making statements pretending to minimize the Holocaust. In Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz last year led a virulent campaign against migrants, as well as George Soros, the American Jewish billionaire of Hungarian origin.

According to the anti-Semitism barometer of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, published in November 2018, the outbreak of anti-Semitism was almost universal in Europe between 2007 and 2017, with outbreaks simultaneous measures that are not exactly the same from one country to another.

Last January, the Israeli Minister of the Diaspora, Naftali Bennett denounced an increase of these phenomena in the world. "The year 2018 has been marked by records of anti-Semitism on the streets, online and on the political scene in the world," insisted Naftali Bennett.

Attacks that are in 70% of cases, "anti-Israeli nature," he said. Violence against Jews in Europe can therefore be correlated with Israeli - Palestinian tensions such as the summer of 2014 the "Gaza war", or that of 2008-2009. The Israeli report also highlights the number of anti-Semitic acts attributed to neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

Every year, since 2004, in its annual report, the National Consultative Commission for Human Rights has pointed out that the perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts no longer belong, "the great majority of them to groups influenced in a significant way by extremist ideology of the right, but to the backgrounds of Arab-Muslim origin ".

There is a sense of insecurity in Europe's Jewish communities: "Jewish communities too often live in fear of being discriminated against, abused and even abused," said the First Vice President of Commission, Frans Timmermans. "Four in 10 Jews are thinking of leaving Europe," Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova told the Jewish Museum in Brussels.

"When Jews left Europe in the past, it was never a good sign of the state of Europe," she added.

"Several decades after the Holocaust, the European Union remains plagued by shocking and growing levels of anti-Semitism," said in December Michael O'Flaherty, director of the Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) of the European Union.

Across Europe, the scars of anti-Semitism are becoming more and more visible, so much so that the FRA evokes a "surge" that threatens "not only our Jewish communities, but also the very values ​​of fundamental and human rights on which the European Union was built ".

INJUNCTION OF DONALD TRUMP WITH EUROPEAN ALLIES TO REPATERATE THEIR DJIHADISTS

OR THE AMERICAN DISENGAGEMENT

IN THE MIDDLE-EAST

"The United States calls on the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other European allies to take back more than 800 ISIS fighters captured in Syria and bring them to justice," he said. he wrote on Twitter.

The US president, who is pressuring Europe, is even threatening to free the approximately 800 US-held prisoners in Syria.

"The caliphate is about to fall. The alternative is not good, because we will have to release them [...] ", he continues.

For the US president the fighters of the Islamic State must return to their respective countries to be judged and no longer pose a threat on Syrian soil, while the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Arab-Kurdish alliance in fight against 'EI, are close to victory against the jihadists entrenched in their Baghouz.

Self-proclaimed in 2014 over an area, vast like Great Britain, straddling Iraq and Syria, the ISIS caliphate is today only a fragment of a territory of one kilometer square in the east of Syria.

Iraq and Syria need to sanctuarise their territory without burdening themselves with these dangerous people.

But the fate of these jihadists and their families is a real problem for European governments, reluctant to repatriate individuals who have pledged allegiance to a group that has vowed to destroy their country of origin.

But the policy of military disengagement in the Middle East is clearly assumed by Donald Trump as shown by the announcement in January of the withdrawal of US troops from Syria. A decision also poorly received by its allies, since it was announced unilaterally, without consultation.

But the end of the caliphate allows Donald Trump to justify the withdrawal of American troops.

A US withdrawal could put the Kurds in a delicate situation vis-à-vis Turkey and imprisoned jihadists could find themselves released into the wild, without control...

JUSTICE SMOLLETT HAD IT MENTIONED ON HIS RACISTIC AND HOMOPHOBE AGGRESSION ?

That's what a statement by a journalist at ABC7 Chicago, Rob Elgas, says that Jussie Smollett and the two men staged the attack, probably because his character was going to be fired from Empire.

A shot mounted from scratch ?

What a FOX journalist firmly denied through a statement to TV Guide:

"The idea that Jussie Smollet was or would be fired from Empire is perfectly ridiculous.

He remains a key player in this successful series, and we continue to support him. "

Two brothers of Nigerian origin, who are well acquainted with Jussie Smolett, were confused while in custody for the purchase of the rope used for the actor's assault.

One of them even worked as appearing on his hit series and is his sports coach. They have since chosen to cooperate with the police.

According to CNN, citing unnamed sources, the police believe that Jussie Smolett would have paid the two brothers to attack him.

An accusation that the actor strongly denied in a statement from his lawyers: "Nothing is further from the truth and anyone thinking otherwise is lying. "

The Empire star "devastated" and "angry" could again be heard .

FORMER CARDINAL AMERICAN McCARRICK DEFROSTS FOR SEXUAL ABUSE

This is the first time that a cardinal is defrocked for reasons of sexual abuse.

McCarrick, who appealed this decision, received a veto by the Vatican.

Last July, he was the first cardinal to lose his title.

He becomes today the highest personality of the church to be defrocked for reasons of sexual abuse. With his official exclusion from the Church, the currently reclusive man in the US state of Kansas is simply Mr. Theodore McCarrick.

The Pope therefore recognized as definitive a sentence in this sense of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a Vatican institution that ensures respect for Catholic dogma, the Holy See said.

The series of revelations in 2018 of huge scandals in the United States, Chile or Germany has seriously tainted the credibility of the Catholic Church. Pope Francis had promised on December 21, 2018 that "never again" the institution he runs would protect pedophiles, urging the clergy concerned to "indulge in human justice."

He acknowledged that the Catholic Church "is hit by hurricanes" and that pedophile priests "discredit" its mission. The pontiff, who intends to implement his promise of "zero tolerance", promised in recent months that he would be uncompromising with the high ecclesiastical hierarchy.

From 21 to 24 February the presidents of episcopal conferences around the world will work in the Vatican, particularly on the responsibility of the prelates who have passed over the sexual abuse of minors by the clergy.

TOWING A DAMAGE OF THE MOVEMENT

AND AN ECLATEMENT OF YELLOW VEST ?

Towards an exhaustion of mobilization

The mobilization decreases overall every Saturday since mid-January. According to the authorities' figures, on 19 January the number of "yellow vests" reached 84,000, they were 69,000 on January 26, then 58,600 on February 2 and finally 51,400 people on February 9. Figures, however, contest the "yellow vests" that had identified Saturday, February 9 at least 110,000 protesters

A feeling of weariness among the French

This drying up of the mobilization seems to go hand in hand with a feeling of weariness of a majority of French (56%) who wish that the movement stops. If a majority of French (58%) continue to approve the fight of the "yellow vests", two thirds think that the type of mobilization of Saturday does not correspond any more to the initial claims around the purchasing power.

The executive gave $ 10 billion and taxed overtime and satisfied a number of claims. In the same way, the debate responds to this demand to be heard and to express oneself.

In addition, acts of violence are condemned by the population. Even if the tension seemed to diminish 26 people were arrested Saturday in Paris. Clashes took place in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nantes and Lyon. At Le Mans, the residence of Sarthe MP Damien Pichereau (LREM) was completely destroyed, "and in Rouen, four yellow vests were slightly injured by a car.

In Paris, the writer and essayist Alain Finkielkraut suffered anti-Semitic insults.

Moreover, the movement is struggling to find a unity.

The "yellow vest" Ingrid Levavasseur announced on Wednesday 13 February that she was abandoning the list of the "Citizens' Initiative Rally" (RIC) she wanted to run for the European elections, explaining that she wanted to "get back on track" and " smooth the name RIC "without, however," giving up ". "I officially disassociate myself from the rallying of citizen initiative (which does not mean that I give up presenting a list for European women)," she insisted on her Twitter account.

This is not the first time that the RIC list has known since its debut in January some disappointments. Hayk Shahinyan, had announced "take a step back" at the end of January by renouncing his role as director of the campaign. Two members of the list then announced to give up.

On January 31, it was Brigitte Lapeyronie who was deploring "that his application to the European forces him to abandon the defense of employees." Then Marc Doyer who said he was the target of death threats and "fake news" because of his support for Emmanuel Macron.

Thus emerging figures are challenged or deemed unrepresentative.

The movement is struggling to structure itself politically: four lists of "yellow vests" were announced in early February for the European elections none being complete.

Wednesday, February 13, Ingrid Levavasseur, therefore threw in the towel by abandoning the list of the "Citizens' Initiative Rally" (RIC) she intended to lead. Meanwhile, Hayk Shahinyan, who had withdrawn from the first list led by Ingrid Levavasseur, announced Sunday, February 10, that he was going to found a new party, the Alternative Citizens Movement (MAC)...

THE AMBASSADOR OF POPE SOUPCONNE

SEXUAL AGGRESSION

The facts would have occurred on January 17 on the occasion of the wishes of the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, the civil authorities, diplomatic and religious, details the newspaper.

Monsignor Luigi Ventura would have touched "several times" this young man of the General Delegation for International Relations (DGRI) of the City of Paris.

The mayor of Paris reported to the public prosecutor, under article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, that a young municipal official had complained of repeated touching of the 74-year-old Italian prelate during the ceremony of vows at the City Hall on January 17th.

Diplomatic immunity?

Bishop Ventura is considered the Vatican ambassador to the French government. .

He is since 2009, the representative of the pope in Paris.

He is responsible for ensuring both the link between the Holy See and the French State, between the pope and the bishops he proposes for appointment.

It is for example to him that the bishop of Dax had, in April 2017, submitted his resignation after the revelation

"Inappropriate attitudes" towards young people.

Recipient of diplomatic status, religious could play diplomatic immunity to escape the justice of men.

One more affair at the time of the announcement of the world release, on February 21, of the book Sodoma , an investigation at the heart of Vatican mores by Frédéric Martel.

CHAOS AND CONFRONTMENT IN HAITI

THE PRESIDENT ADDRESSES THE POPULATION

Haitian President Jovenel Moïse left Thursday night of his silence, after a week of violent protests demanding his resignation.

At least seven people have been killed since the beginning of the movement on February 7 to protest against the lack of improvement in the living conditions for which President Jovenel Moïse was responsible.

"I will not leave the country in the hands of armed gangs and drug traffickers," said the head of state, speaking in Creole in the aftermath of violent clashes between police and protesters in the center city ​​of Port-au-Prince.

Popular anger crystallized around the person of Jovenel Moses in power for two years.

Indeed, the publication in late January of a report of the Superior Court of Accounts on the management of two billion dollars Petrocaribe fund, a program of assistance offered to Haiti by Venezuela since 2008, highlighted the disastrous management and possible misappropriation of funds which would have benefited a company directed at the time by Jovenel Moïse.

The president called on his opponents of the dialogue to find a way out of the crisis.

"I asked the Prime Minister to come and explain them and apply them quickly to relieve our misery," he said.

Washington announced Thursday night the recall of its non-essential diplomats and their families based in Haiti and urged Americans not to visit Haiti.

DUEL OF TWO SEPTUAGENARIES FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL IN NIGERIA

COLOSSE AT THE FOOT OF CLAY

The Nigerian presidential election scheduled for Saturday, February 16 was postponed to February 23 by the Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC). The INEC has decided to postpone for a week the general elections (presidential and legislative) scheduled for Saturday, February 16, arguing of logistical problems after an emergency meeting in the night from Friday to Saturday. the holding of free, fair and credible elections, organizing the ballot as agreed was no longer possible, "told the press Mahmood Yakubu, president of the INEC.

The most populous country in Africa, the continent's largest oil producer, the main African economy in the neck and neck with South Africa, Nigeria remains a colossus with clay feet.

The challenges facing the winner of the presidential election on Saturday, February 23 will be gigantic. The election is expected to split the incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari, and the wealthy businessman Atiku Abubakar, leader of the opposition and former vice president (1999-2007) .72 other candidates are vying for the presidential election.

The duel of two septuagenarian Buhari (76 years), outgoing president, and the businessman Atiku Abubakar.

During the campaign, former General Buhari (76), who had led the country in the 1980s, did not deny the shortcomings of his mandate.

"It has not been a long, quiet river," he said, asking his compatriots to consider "the important progress" made by his government and to give him the opportunity to complete the projects, particularly in terms of anti-corruption, security and economic. Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to take his country to a higher level and do better if he is re-elected.

"We are determined to deepen the work that we started during this first term so that the assets and resources of the nation continue to be organized and used in a way that serves the Nigerian citizen," said the outgoing president at the meeting. his campaign. But at 76, his health raised many questions while he was hospitalized several times in London.

The main competitor of President Buhari, who comes from the former ruling party, the PDP, disputes the record. The businessman Atiku Abubakar, who will thus seek for the fourth time the supreme magistracy in his last "Address to the Nation", has violently taken the current president, treating his presidency as "disaster". For him, President Buhari has failed in his policy of securing the country and its economic results are disappointing as its anti-corruption policy called "witch hunt against opponents."

It promises the recovery of the country's economy and an effective fight against corruption by favoring the return of funds diverted into public funds through an "amnesty".

Whoever wins this election, the challenges the winner will face are immense.

An economically poor country despite its hydrocarbon resources.

Indeed the economy of the most populous country in Africa is very badly in point. The crisis caused by the vertiginous drop in hydrocarbon prices in 2015, on which the Nigerian economy depends, has had a lasting impact on the country. Growth was only 1.9% in 2018, remaining at a lower rate than population growth in a country where unemployment affects a quarter of the labor force, and even more than half of 15-35 year olds .

In this country of some 190 million inhabitants - whose population is expected to double by 2050 - this sluggish growth, against a backdrop of high inflation, can not stop the spiral of extreme poverty. According to the World Bank, Nigeria is surpassing India to become the country with the largest number of people living on less than $ 1.90 a day. The recovery of the economy will inevitably go through a diversification of activities to stop this spiral of poverty ...

Security challenges with the threat of Boko Haram and land conflicts.

In addition to the economic challenge, security was a major theme of the February 23 presidential campaign. Determining Muhammadu Buhari's victory in 2015 as a former general who led a military regime with a military hand in the 1980s, security will still dominate the agenda of the next mandate, particularly with the rise of communal clashes. in addition to the ever-present terrorist threat of Boko Haram.

Muhammadu Buhari had indeed promised to stop the jihadist insurgency Boko Haram that has killed more than 20,000 and 2.6 million displaced since 2009.

But in the north-east of the country Boko Haram group remains a real threat to the security of the population, even if in four years, Boko Haram has given a little ground against the government of Buhari. The terrorist group has increased in 2018 attacks and suicide bombings in several cities in the north-east. In particular, the kidnapping, at the end of February, of more than a hundred girls in a boarding school in Dapchi (Yobe State) and the double bombing of May 1 that killed nearly a hundred victims in Mubi. In March2018, the Nigerian administration acquired US armament for 414 million euros, including surveillance planes and attack, to suppress the jihadists ...

In addition to Boko Haram, there are other conflicts in Nigeria that need to be addressed, such as pro-Biafra separatist tensions challenging the Abuja authority that still persist in the Southeast, and the old land dispute between nomadic herders and sedentary farmers.

There are many deadly clashes between farmers and pastoralists, particularly in the states of Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Plateau and Kogi. Farmers are accused by farmers of ransacking their farms. But to this grievance is added a dimension of identity between the predominantly Muslim breeders and the mostly Christian farmers.

By 2018, Muslim herders reportedly massacred two priests and sixteen Catholic faithful in a church in the central Benue state. The following day, in retaliation, eleven Muslims were lynched in the capital of the state of Benue. The bishops of the states of Benue and Nassarawa had denounced, in a statement, "a clear program of Islamization of the Nigerian central belt" whose goal is "to hit Christians".

In the first economy of Africa the challenges to be met by the new head of state will be immense like the presidential election postponed because of security and logistical problems.

All eyes are now on President APC's Buhari and his main opponent, Atiku Abubakar, of the PDP, the ballot between the two northern men, Muslims, looking very tight.

39 DEATH IN A SUICIDE ATTACK

INDIAN CASHMERE

The suicide bombing, claimed by an Islamist group, targeted a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying some 2,500 members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), a paramilitary force. A van full of explosives exploded near the bus convoy.

The deadliest terrorist attack in Kashmir in 20 years.

A deadly separatist insurgency has been disrupting Indian Kashmir since 1989. India accuses Pakistan of underhand support for infiltration and armed rebellion, which Islamabad has always denied.

Kashmir has been claimed by both India and Pakistan since the end of British colonization in 1947. Indian forces in the controlled part of New Delhi are estimated at about 500,000 men.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi denounced an "odious attack". "The sacrifice of our brave members of the security forces will not be in vain," he added on Twitter.

The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has questioned Pakistan in a statement: "This despicable and hateful act was committed by and supported by Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistan-based terrorist organization," the attack was claimed by the Islamist group Jaish-e-Mohammed, based in Pakistan.

"India has the firm intention to take all necessary measures to preserve its national security," he warned. "We demand that Pakistan stop supporting terrorists and terrorist groups operating from its territory."

And the Indian government has taken action against its neighbor and enemy.

The first sanction against Pakistan is economic. New Delhi has just withdrawn from Islamabad its "most favored nation" status, which for 23 years had provided Pakistan with tariff relief.

On a diplomatic level, New Delhi is trying to isolate Islamabad. But China, Pakistan's biggest ally, has just declined to vote to include Jaish-e-Mohammed leader on the UN list of terrorists. If this Pakistani Islamist organization, which has claimed the carnage is already on this blacklist, its leader, Masood Azhar, however, lives freely in Pakistan.

With three months of legislative elections, New Delhi could therefore consider a military response. Two years ago, in a similar attack, the prime minister ordered a surprise commando offensive to destroy terrorist camps on the other side of the border.

An answer that does not involve the two enemy brothers in a nuclear war.

ECLATEMENT OF YELLOW VESTS

DEPARTURE OF INGRID LEVAVASSEUR OF LIST RIC

Asked about possible divisions that led to this decision, the 31 year old caregiver said: "Absolutely not, I have companions who follow me, we just smooth the name RIC and we start on a good basis" .

"I officially disassociate myself from the rallying of citizen initiative (which does not mean that I give up presenting a list for European women)," she insisted on her Twitter account.

This is not the first time that the RIC list has known since its debut in January some disappointments. Hayk Shahinyan, had announced "take a step back" at the end of January by renouncing his role as director of the campaign. Two members of the list then announced to give up.

On January 31, it was Brigitte Lapeyronie who was deploring "that his application to the European forces him to abandon the defense of employees . " Then Marc Doyer who said he was the target of death threats and "fake news" because of his support for Emmanuel Macron.

Who for a head of the list?

Is not that a little premature?

Difficult to find political solutions...

THREE SYRIAN TORTIONARIES PRESUMES

ARRESTED

hey are believed to have committed "torture and crimes against humanity" between 2011 and 2012.

Two former members of Syrian Intelligence were arrested in Germany, said the Karlsruhe Federal Prosecutor's Office.

These arrests are the culmination of a preliminary investigation opened jointly in early 2018 by the German and French courts.

Investigators from both countries have created a joint team on Al-Assad regime crimes documented in the Caesar report.

The latter is the pseudonym of a former photographer of the Syrian military police, exfiltrated in 2013 with the terrible clichés of tens of thousands of bodies tortured to death in the prisons of the Syrian regime between 2011 and 2013.

To arrive at these arrests, the investigators relied on testimonies from refugee victims in Europe.

According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, at least 60,000 people have died since the beginning of the war in 2011, under torture or because of the terrible conditions of detention in the regime's prisons.

DONALD TRUMP DECLARES NATIONAL EMERGENCY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE WALL

The tenant of the White House wants to "end the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border," said Sarah Sanders, spokesman for the White House.

At the same time, the billionaire has agreed to sign a budget compromise obtained in the fight against Congress, after intense negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, to avoid a paralysis of administrations.

If no agreement was found until Friday, midnight, the country could have faced a second shutdown in less than two months. But the technical layoff of 800,000 civil servants for 35 days in January had only lowered Trump's popularity rating in polls and paralyzed the US economy.

The financing law born of this compromise was approved Thursday by a large majority in the Senate, controlled by the Republicans, then the House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats.

But this text, which does not mention the word "wall", preferring "barrier" or "fence", includes only a quarter of the budget claimed by Donald Trump to build the wall ($ 1.4 billion against 5.7 billion requested). While signing the text, Donald Trump will declare the "national emergency". Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he supports the president's decision.

A law passed in 1976, the National Emergencies Act, authorizes the President of the United States to invoke a national "emergency" to activate extraordinary powers, which would allow Donald Trump to bypass the Congress by relying for example on the army to erect the wall.

This exceptional procedure is not without bristle many parliamentarians, including in the ranks Republicans. In the Democrats, indignation reigns.

Democrats and various interest groups are preparing to attack the national emergency proclamation before the courts, challenging the White House's arguments about the nature of the border crisis.

"There is no urgency at the border" with Mexico, pledged Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives.

"We will review our options and we will be prepared to respond appropriately," said Nancy Pelosi.

TRANSFORMATION OF THE CARE SYSTEM

OR PRESENTATION OF MY HEALTH PLAN 2022

Agnès Buzyn presents this Wednesday, February 13th, its health reform which provides for the end of the numerus clausus to increase the number of doctors, the opening of telemedicine, the creation of a network of "local hospitals". The text will be debated in the Assembly in March.

The bill aims to translate into law the "My Health 2022" plan outlined by President Emmanuel Macron during a speech on September 18 to meet the increased need for care of an aging France.

Increase by 20% the number of doctors trained

To increase the pool of practitioners, the text removes the famous "numerus clausus" for the start of the school year 2020, the quota decided each year by the State which limits the number of students entitled to continue their studies in the health professions. The number of students in second or third year will thus be determined by the universities, in conjunction with the regional health agencies, according to their capacities and the needs of the territory.

Objective, "increase by 20%" about the number of doctors trained, according to Agnès Buzyn, while diversifying their profiles, through bridges between courses and selection criteria that remain to be specified by decree. The "classifying tests" at the end of the 6th year of medicine will also disappear in favor of new exams.

Still in the same perspective, the system allowing to pay € 1,200 per month for young doctors who agree to work in a tense zone once graduated will be extended to non-European Diploma Practitioners (PADHUE). In addition, ordinances will define the conditions for regular "re-certification" of practicing physicians to ensure that their skills are up-to-date.

Territorial Hospital Groupings

In parallel with the decompartmentalization of recruitment, a pooling of resources is planned in several areas.

The bill empowers the government to revise the hospital card by prescription. It will be one side to label between 500 and 600 "local hospitals" refocused on general medicine, geriatrics and rehabilitation, but without surgery or maternity. On the other hand to modify the rules of authorization of the activities of care (surgery, maternity, emergencies ...) and equipment.

In the territorial health processional communities (CPTS), all the health professionals of a territory (doctors, pharmacists, physiotherapists, nurses, etc.) will have to network, this sharing of skills to allow "to release margins of medical time, "says the MP The Republic in March Thomas Mesnier, member of the Committee on Social Affairs of the Assembly and rapporteur of the bill.

For example, a doctor with 800 patients who, by networking with nurses, could delegate certain acts to them. In doing so he would welcome other patients through these avoided consultations which would bring his patient to about 1 1400.

Renovation of exercise modes

Measures are also planned to facilitate the early career of doctors, make the hospital more attractive and improve access to care. The assistant medical device, which allows an intern to assist a doctor in case of seasonal influx in tourist areas, will be extended to areas lacking doctors.

On the health facility side, a unique hospital practitioner status, a sensitive subject, will be created by prescription and the related competition removed, to make the mixed exercise (in liberal and in the hospital) easier. .

The access contest would be removed "to facilitate entry into the career," says the Ministry of Health

Telemedicine open to other health professionals.

Telemedicine, already authorized for doctors, will be open to other health professionals. The "télésoin" could for example also concern "the accompaniment by the nurses side effects of oral chemotherapy, or the speech therapy and remote orthoptic sessions". Thus, in the absence of a speech therapist near his home, a patient can consult remotely that of a big city.

As for better financial management measures that provide for the payment of fixed-rate or quality doctors, they will be included in the Social Security Financing Act (PLFSS) for 2020, says Thomas Mesnier.

New digital services

A "health data platform" will replace the current Institute of Health Data. Access to these data (1.2 billion sheets of care per year, 500 million medical procedures, 11 million hospitalizations ...) will be expanded, and their field extended to clinical data collected for example by doctors Liberals.

The government intends to "increase the possibilities of exploitation" of this information, particularly for research or "development of artificial intelligence methods," while promising to "maintain a high level of protection of privacy." .

In addition, all patients will be able to open their own digital health area by January 1, 2022. They will have access to their shared medical record (sort of health book), "applications" or "referenced health information". .

Let's hope that the umpteenth health plan finally meets the needs of an aging France.

STOPPING THE PRODUCTION OF AIRBUS 380

Emirates will not have saved the A380 program. The Dubai company finally decided to reduce its orders of superjumbo of 39 copies falling from 162 to123 the number of devices it ordered.

Since the beginning of the A380 program twelve years ago, the superjumbo has only registered 288 orders, far from the 1200 aircraft planned for its launch. Instead of the A380s, Emirates buys 40 A330 NEOs and thirty A350s.

In 2019 and 2020, Emirates will finish taking delivery of 14 A380s already ordered in the past. Immediate consequence: the production of A380 will be stopped during the year 2021.

"As a result of this decision, we do not have a substantial backlog to continue production despite all our commercial efforts with other airlines in recent years.

This brings us to stop A380 deliveries in 2021, "said Tom Enders.

The President of Airbus calls this decision "painful" especially as the A380 is on the technical and industrial plan a real success and that passengers around the world plebiscite. The A380 has twice been voted Best Airplane in the World.

But this device is no longer considered suitable for the current long-haul market. The airlines have indeed almost drawn a line on the aircraft with four reactors, for their preference for jets such as the Airbus A350, or Boeing 787 or 777, which have the same range of action as the A380.

Unlike the A380, the A350 or Boeing Dreamliner does not require airports to do additional work to accommodate them. They consume less, with optimized engines, and to fifty passengers, they have the same carrying capacity as the big carrier of Airbus.

This decision will cause a significant social impact since the aircraft manufacturer figures between 3000 and 3500 the number of jobs that will be affected in Europe by the shutdown of the A380.

The direction of the aircraft manufacturer will open discussions with the unions in the coming weeks.

However, the ramping up of other programs such as the A320 or A350 should offer important mobility opportunities for journeymen, technicians and engineers.

SECURITY CONFERENCE ON SECURITY

IN THE MIDDLE-EAST

The summit, named after the official title "Ministerial Conference for the Promotion of Peace and Security in the Middle East", will discuss cybersecurity, "terrorism and extremism, missile development and proliferation, maritime security and trade and the threats posed by surrogate groups in the region, "reads the White House press release.

While the agenda of the talks appears to be largely about security in the Middle East, some countries and observers, however, see it as an anti-Iran meeting.

Iran will indeed be at the heart of the exchanges Wednesday and Thursday to ensure that the country "has no destabilizing influence," in the words of the head of the American diplomacy, Mike Pompeo, January 11. According to a senior US administration official, the conference will be an opportunity to discuss "Iran's influence in the Middle East, ways to help put Iran on a better track." and to collectively repel some of its destabilizing activities in the region. "

The relations between Tehran and Washington have been freezing since the US decision to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal (PAGC, for a global action plan) and to reinstate economic sanctions against oil companies. Shia power.

The tension has taken a new turn in recent days, with the celebration of the forty years of the Islamic revolution in Iran and the organization by the United States of the conference on the Middle East in Poland on February 13 and 14. The two events gave rise between the two "enemy" countries, which no longer have diplomatic relations since 1980, to violent gunfights and more or less veiled threats.

The Gulf countries and its allies as well as Israel, supporters of a hard line against Tehran, were present at the conference.

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Israel, Yemen, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman and the United Arab Emirates confirmed that their delegations would be led by ministers while Egypt and Tunisia send deputy ministers . Benyamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, puts the fight against Iran "at the top of the agenda," he said during a meeting with his cabinet Sunday.

"How to continue to prevent it from setting up in Syria, how to foil its aggression in the region and, above all, how to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons," said the Israeli prime minister.

On the other hand, a majority of European countries reject the hard line of Washington against Tehran and participate at least.

Thus the head of the European Union's diplomacy Federica Mogherini will not participate in the conference organized in Warsaw announcing to have other commitments. Germany has chosen to send a senior official instead of Heiko Maas, Germany's foreign minister.

France should imitate him. Only European power to send his foreign minister: the United Kingdom. Jeremy Hunt nevertheless pointed out that the purpose of his participation was to address the humanitarian crisis triggered by Saudi Arabia's offensive in Yemen.

Russia and the Palestinian Authority have also declined the invitation. The first considers the meeting too focused on "one country", while Palestine believes that the United States can no longer serve as the main intermediary in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, especially since the decision of Donald Trump to transfer the country. American Embassy of Israel in Jerusalem.

The United States therefore intends on this occasion to intensify the pressure on Iran and to contain the influence of Tehran in the Middle East despite the concerns of several countries of the European Union

Last May, Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 international agreement that oversaw Tehran's nuclear activities and reinstated sanctions against Iran even as the other signatories of the Vienna - Russia, China agreement , France, Great Britain and Germany - remain stakeholders. Since then, Donald Trump's decision to withdraw US troops from Syria has caused renewed concern among US European allies.

For his part, Iranian President Hassan Rohani is in Moscow on the same day with Russian and Turkish Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks on the Syrian situation.

A "dangerous" US strategy ?

AND BAM ! NOW SELF-SCHOOLS

ONE MORE UBERIZATION AND ANOTHER ANGER

Their leaders gathered massively at the gates of Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nice ... causing gigantic traffic jams.

The PC of Radio France counted shortly before 8 am in the morning, an hour and a half of traffic jam on the A3 motorway, between Aulnay sous Bois and Bagnolet and Seine Saint Denis towards Paris, but also an hour of traffic jam on the A6 between Viry Chatillon (Essonne) and the capital, and again, a serious slowdown on the A13 between Rocquencourt (Yvelines) and the capital.

Seventy-five cars were counted at 7 o'clock in the morning, at Porte d'Auteuil, Porte de Clignancourt, and at Vincennes, on the ring road where a snail operation was taking place.

The professionals converged in the early afternoon towards the Place d'Italie!

As with the Yellow Vests, the slogans implicated Emmanuel Macron: "King Macron! The people are fed up with it "could be read on the windshields of cars.

It is a parliamentary report that has not yet been made public that has set fire to the powder and is behind this new bronca.

This report, which was written by LREM du Gard, Françoise Dumas, has just been handed to the Prime Minister (last Friday 08/09/2019). It should be remembered that in November Emmanuel Macron had promised "a drastic drop" in the cost of driving licenses which averaged around € 1800 according to a study by UFC-Que Choisir (2016).

The response of the unions of the profession was not long in coming: "We do not want to deliver Low Cost training for a Uberized driver's license".

Everything is said in a few words!

Even if the 3 professional organizations admit that for the moment they know only part of what is in the report, "because Madame Dumas has kindly read a part of them", they sense "that she did not tell them everything because they (we) felt it very uncomfortable ".

The president of the majority union, CNPA-Education Routière already accuses the executive of wanting to create a system that would kill the proximity and braider the quality of driving license education.

We find in the protest of the driving schools, the same criticisms as those of the Yellow Vests, vis-à-vis a choice of society "that ruffles" and which is not accepted. "If the modern world is the destruction of social gains and wages, I call it back to the nineteenth century," said Philippe Colombani, the founding President of the UNIC union.

To drive down the price of a driving license, driving schools are proposing a drop in the tax burden (?), Recalling that a driving license is 70% of taxes.

The government finds itself in the same dilemma as the fuel tax that triggered the Yellow Vests movement and its denial of tax consent on November 17, 2018.

"Let the politicians look at each other a little in the mirror and tell themselves that if we got there it may also be their fault: they have for years and years stacked taxes"!

It can not be any clearer ! A word, hello !

VICE

DICK CHENEY OR THE COMEDY OF POWER

Having become the most powerful man in the country, he has largely contributed to the imposition of a new world order whose consequences are still felt today ... "

Adam McKay signs Vice with a twirling comedy, using all the possible methods of the genre but it also offers a burning political fire, aimed directly at the US administration and Dick Cheney in particular.

It is indeed the vice-president, secret and dark, Dick Cheney, incarnated by the magnificent Christian Bale, who will shape under the two terms Bush the new world order.

This black eminence of the Bush administration has been used among others 9/11 attacks to give America its warrior face.

And Secretary of State Colin Powell, forced by his superiors to lie in front of the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003, to display fake evidence to prove that Saddam Hussein, hand in hand with Al-Qaida, was about to destroy the world.

And we know more ...

But behind this comedy of power carried out by a five-star cast, do not look for a message more subtle than a Manicheism between good and bad.

And for good reason, Vice is convinced to belong to the camp of Good and morality.

With "The Big Short. The breakout of the century, "McKay showed a corrupt America, rapacious, villainous. With "Vice" the satire is pushed to the extreme.

TRIAL OF CATALAN INDEPENDANTISTS

UNDER HIGH VOLTAGE IN SPAIN

A historic trial that opens Tuesday for about three months and will be broadcast live on television.

Up to 25 years in prison

The main figure of the attempted secession, the former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont, exiled in Belgium, will be the great absent on the dock, Spain not judging the absence for serious offenses.

The main protagonist will be his former Vice President Oriol Junqueras, against whom the prosecution has required 25 years in prison. The failure of the unilateral proclamation of independence of 27 October, the dismissal of the Catalan government and the flight of Carles Puigdemont in Belgium, did not convince him to flee. This "sacrifice" gives it a special aura in the eyes of the separatists. In the eyes of the law, he faces twenty-five years in prison.

Sentences ranging from were required against the other eleven accused, including the former president of the Catalan Parliament, several regional "ministers" and leaders of the powerful ANC and Omnium Cultural independent associations face sentences ranging from 7 to 17 years. Nine accused in total are prosecuted for rebellion, aggravated by the offense of embezzlement of public funds for six of them, and are in custody.

A referendum deemed illegal.

The separatists had organized on 1 October 2017 a referendum of self-determination banned by justice and then proclaimed October 27 an independent Catalan republic, triggering the most serious political crisis that Spain has known since the end of Francoism.

At the center of the trial is the issue of violence.

The disputed charge of rebellion presupposes the existence of a violent uprising. For the prosecution, there has been violence accused including "called the citizens to participate in the referendum of October 1 being aware of [its] illegality and the fact that explosions of violence could occur."

For the separatists, the only violence was that of the police on the day of the referendum. This is what the German justice system withdrew when it refused to extradite former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont. The jurists being divided on this question, the representative of the interests of the State accuse besides the defendants that of sedition and claims penalties of twelve years maximum.

The Catalan separatists denounce a "political trial" which shows that, in order to preserve its territorial integrity, Spain is able to restrict "fundamental rights".

The president of the Spanish government, the Socialist Pedro Sanchez, would have done well this trial even as the prime minister tries to negotiate its draft budget 2019 with the Catalan separatist parties. The separatists, without whom Pedro Sanchez has no majority in parliament, are ready to block the budget on Wednesday, opening the door to the call for early elections.

More than a year after the fact, the Catalan question remains a hot topic in Spain.

On Sunday, tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Madrid at the call of the right and extreme right of Vox against the head of government Pedro Sanchez, accused of "high treason" for having dialogue with the separatists.

BOUTEFLIKA TOWARDS A FIFTH MANDATE

IN ALGERIA

No television appearance, or even radio message but a simple "message to the Nation" to official Sunday, February 10 the presidential candidacy of Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in power for two decades in Algeria.

Despite his age and health problems, the outgoing Algerian president will seek a fifth term.

Nailed in a wheelchair by a stroke since 2013, Abdelaziz Bouteflika is ahead of criticism of his state of health:

"Of course, I do not have the same physical strength as before, something that I have never hidden from our people. But the unwavering desire to serve the homeland has never left me and it allows me to transcend the constraints related to the health problems that everyone may face one day. ".

The National Liberation Front (FLN), in power since the country's independence, has designated it as its candidate, as the three other parties of the alliance have already done: the Prime Minister's National Democratic Rally (RND) Ahmed Ouyahia, the Rally of Hope of Algeria (TAJ) and the Algerian People's Movement (MPA).

Behind this weakened president, there would be a whole entourage pushing to keep him in power. First of all, a family clan with its two brothers at the heart of the system, Said Bouteflika being a transmission belt with the army, but also an economic ruling caste ; For pro-Bouteflika, the president guarantees the stability of the country as a bulwark against fundamentalism in view of the situation in Libya, Syria or Egypt.

Abdelaziz Bouteflika was also the architect of the return to peace in Algeria after ten years of bloody civil war. While he took advantage of the rise in oil prices between 2004 and 2014 to launch extensive infrastructure programs and de-leveraging the country, his fourth term was marked by the fall in oil prices that hit the economy hard. ultra-dependent country of oil. One-third of young people under 25 are unemployed.

All the austerity measures taken in recent years to cope with the fall in the price of a barrel of oil have been abandoned. Recruitment in the public service has been revived. Young business creators financially supported by the state who have not repaid their credit will not be prosecuted. The Ministry of the Mujahideen (veterans) has announced up to 100% increase on pensions paid to those who suffer from chronic diseases. The president announced a "national conference" open to the opposition and intended to give birth to institutional, economic and social reforms.

In opposition, some candidates seek to negotiate an alliance for a single bid against Bouteflika. For those who do not let themselves be tempted by the call for an outright boycott of the polls, the negotiations are already well underway to know who will try to embody the wave of "Everything but Bouteflika" that rises in the Algerian youth on the networks social.

Two opponents are already in the running. Abderrazak Makri, head of the largest Islamist Islamist Movement for Peace (MSP), and retired general Ali Ghediri, unknown to the public, have announced their intention to run for office while Ali Benflis, former prime minister of Bouteflika and his main opponent, has not yet said if he would show up.

Systematically reelected in the first round with more than 80% of the vote, the head of state again this time as the favorite of the vote but abstention may be strong .

HOW TO DRESS GREAT EVENING FOR

VALENTINE'S DAY

GRAMMY AWARDS 2019 THE GREAT WINNERS CHILDISH GAMBINO AND KACEY MUSGRAVES

Yesterday was the night of records for Childish Gambino, musical alter ego of comedian Donald Glover, who won the award with the "Recording of the Year" and "Song of the Year" awards for his politically incorrect anthem This Is America . A first for a provocative piece of hip-hop.

He also won the Grammy for Best Recording of the Year. Hybrid of gospel and rap, full of pamphlets against the excesses of all edges that shake the American society, he swept the favorites Drake or Lady Gaga in the race for this prestigious prize. The activist artist from California, however, refused to appear on stage at the gala evening.

Country singer Kacey Musgraves is the other big winner of an evening reminiscent of the Grammy Awards, which is still an all-American ceremony, even though she sees international stars. The young woman was awarded four awards in total, including the coveted "Album of the Year" for Golden Hour, ahead of Cardi B, Janelle Monae and Brandi Carlile.

The pop diva Lady Gaga leaves with three statuettes, including two for Shallow, the romantic ballad recorded with Bradley Cooper for the movie A Star Is Born, where she also plays. In a diamond combination, she played a rock version full of energy and emotion, accompanied by Mark Ronson.

Celebrity rapper Cardi B won Grammy's "best rap album" in Grammy history by becoming the first woman to win this award with Invasion of Privacy, beating Mac Miller, Nipsey Hussle, Pusha T and Travis Scott. The New York artist is on stage to perform his Money tube in a vamp style. Accompanied by a pianist and singers, she has multiplied lascivious poses to sing her love of money, power and sex

In the category "revelation of the year", it is the British Dua Lipa, 23, who won with her sensual pop-electro.

If Kendrick Lamar failed for the fourth time in the category of "Album of the Year" with the soundtrack of the film Black Panther, he leaves with the price of the "best rap performance", and Drake the "best rap" rap song "of the year thanks to its global hit God's Plan.

In total, no less than 84 awards are awarded by the Grammys.

"Music allows us to hear each other. (...) The music shows us that all this is important, each story and each voice, each note within each song, "said Michelle Obama during a surprise appearance on the stage, while the Grammy Awards have regularly accused of favoring white and male artists, to the detriment of women and minorities.

POLAR AGGRESSIVE BEARS IN RUSSIA

Dozens of hungry polar bears are increasingly coming to town, attacking people on the street and intruding into apartment buildings.

These animals are affected by global warming and melting ice.

About 50 polar bears regularly visit Belouchia Gouba, the largest village in the archipelago where a Russian military garrison is based.

They are recognized as endangered species and the hunting of polar bears is banned in Russia.

For now, the authorities are trying to hunt polar bears from apartment buildings using patrol vehicles and dogs. But in vain.

The Russian Federal Agency for Environmental Monitoring refuses to authorize the slaughter of the most aggressive animals.

She decided to send a commission to the archipelago to evaluate the situation.

NETFLIX BUILDING ON THE CANDIDATE

MIDTERMS ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ

Ex-barmaid born in the Bronx, youngest elected in history at Congress at 29, figurehead of the new Democratic wave, it is talking about it proposing a 70% tax on high income or ensuring live videos on social networks while cooking.

This is the story of a self-made woman as America loves. Netflix understood it well.

At the Sundance Film Festival, the video streaming giant spent a staggering $ 10 million to afford Knock Down the House's documentary rights to its midterm campaign.

In competition with Amazon and Hulu on the case, Netflix has not hesitated to increase. Never had a channel spent so much on a documentary.

For comparison, this is double the $ 5 million already spent by Netflix in 2017 for Icare, the Oscar-winning documentary on Russian doping.

This investment speaks volumes about Netflix's strategy, but also about the development of this market. Indeed, at this same Sundance festival, Amazon has offered five works for $ 46 million to feed its Prime Video service.

The group Los Gatos has the same ambition to expand its catalog of original programs. According to analysts the platform would invest $ 12 billion in production and content purchase in 2019, having already paid 8 billion in 2018.

The competition is sharpening in the sector.

In a hegemonic position so far, Netflix will lose 20% of its catalog, Disney, AT & T / Time Warner or Comcast repatriating their series and movies to their own streaming platform.

The Disney group will launch its own Disney + service late 2019 and has already announced Wednesday, February 6, that his next blockbuster "Captain Marvel" would not be available in the Netflix catalog.

The US giant must therefore respond if it wants to fuel the growth of its customer base of 130 million paying users.

CASE BENALLA ACT II SCENE 1

NEW DIMENSION

The chapter which has been open for a few days now leads us to renumber the episodes, it being specified that, considering the turn that the affair has just taken, we will probably have to come back to it.

The National Financial Procuratorate has opened, this Thursday, February 7, 2019, a corruption investigation concerning the signing of a contract negotiated by Alexander Benalla with a Russian oligarch.

On what basis?

First of all, this is a new investigation aimed at Alexandre Benalla, on a subject mentioned by the Médiapart Journal last week when this major media broadcast a discussion dated July 26, 2018 between Alexandre Benalla and Bertrand crushes.

The oligarch concerned is a certain Iskander Makhmudov, close to Vladimir Putin. Iskander Makhmudov is suspected of having links with the Russian mafia.

After the publication of the article Médiapart journalists tried to check with Matignon, the assumption that prevails today, that the conversation was recorded at the home of the Chief of the Security Group Prime Minister (GSPM) .

The recording is overwhelming. It is even more damning that on July 26, 2018, the judicial control of Alexandre Benalla and Bertrand Crase formally forbade them to see each other.

However, on this occasion we have just discovered a central character in the case of Benalla, a character whose name had never appeared before.

It's about 34-year-old Chokri Wakrim, a soldier who is said to be "the course would be opaque".

Our colleague Libération has been investigating for several weeks the latter who would be seriously involved in the famous security contract in question, negotiated with the oligarch Iskander Makhmudov, cited above.

We fell from the chair, taking cognizance of the first elements of Liberation's investigation, which indicates that Chokri Wakrim, first introduced and sober as a friend, is none other than the companion of Marie Elodie Poitout, the head of the Safety of Matignon, promoted to Divisional Commissioner in January 2018.

Several documents consulted by our colleague attest to the proximity between Chokri Wakrim and Alexandre Benalla.

The "sulphurous" soldier accompanied him in the Château of Vincent Miclet in the Dordogne (see our previous editions).

In a video, Emmanuel Macron's "bodyguard" appears during a rifle shooting session in the Château gardens.

In another video, we see Alexandre Benalla in the Parisian home of Mohamad Izzat Khatab, a sulphurous Syrian businessman. Mohamad Khatab hosted Alexandre Benalla for several weeks after leaving the Elysee Palace.

The proximity of Alexandre Benalla with these individuals raises many questions and the first of which, that the National Prosecutor landed seeking to search the premises of Médiapart, Monday, February 4 after opening a preliminary investigation " for invasion of privacy "and" unlawful possession of devices or devices allowing the interception of telecommunications or conversations ".

On this last blow, Matignon nevertheless claims to be transparent (?) Assuring, in the face of the controversy born of the celerity with which the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office began its investigation, that no instruction had been given in this sense.

The resignation February 7 of Marie Elodie Poitout (who has been on all trips abroad of the Prime Minister) however shows that the situation becomes "critical".

At the Elysee as at Matignon we cut the branches at high speed!

Despite this, the head of Security said "remained serene"?

She just said that she just wanted to protect Edouard Philippe, which did not convince!

This is the reason why it is difficult to believe that Matignon knew nothing and many people are already questioning "the truth" of Edouard Philippe!

The Benalla affair is starting to make an ugly plaster. It would even be becoming a state affair, as Guillaume Larrivé, MP, has just declared, today:

"There is gradually a feeling of nausea vis-à-vis this case, which we saw so far only the visible face of the iceberg.

The state summit has not yet faltered.

But the sewage odors that the successive sequences of the Benalla Affair release, begin to become heavy.

The latest twists have tainted the Executive as Justice.

Therefore, it seems that we will certainly have the opportunity very soon to write the scene 2 of Act II, the malice of macronist power seemingly endless……..

TOWARDS THE DIPLOMATIC BREAK

BETWEEN FRANCE AND ITALY?

But the Quai d'Orsay had already denounced Thursday an "unacceptable provocation" after a meeting in France on the sly, the day before, between the Vice-President of the Italian Council and political leader of the Movement 5 Stars, Luigi Di Maio, and extremist representatives "yellow vests", mobilized for several weeks against President Emmanuel Macron. Mr. Di Maio seeking to unite the anti-elites for the Europeans ...

"The latest interference is an additional and unacceptable provocation. They violate the respect due to the democratic choice, made by a friendly and allied people. They violate the respect that democratic and freely elected governments must have among themselves, "Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnès von der Mühll said in a statement.

The strong man of the Conte Matteo Salvini government had hoped that the French people would soon be released from a "very bad president", utterly unpublished remarks by leaders of the founding countries of the European Union. The Italian interior minister is trying to organize a far-right European front against pro-Europeans, notably the French head of state, in view of the 26 May poll.

Today, Matteo Salvini, Minister of the Interior and boss of the Italian far right, reacted to the French ambassador's recall for consultations, assuring that the Rome government did not want controversy. "We do not want to get angry with anyone, polemics do not interest us : we are concrete people and we defend the interests of Italians," wrote Matteo Salvini in a statement.

If the strength of the French reaction has been surprising, since the recall of an ambassador of France in Italy is unprecedented since 1940, this reaction, in the diplomatic scale, is proportionate.

The French ambassador to Rome returned to Paris for "consultations". The recall is first of all symbolic and constitutes the first step towards freezing or breaking off diplomatic relations between two countries.

This French reminder is not a first. On 25 August 2017, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjarto announced the Hungarian ambassador's recall for "consultations" in The Hague, after strong criticism by the Dutch ambassador in Budapest against the government. Hungarian. On 6 February 2012, the Belgian ambassador to Syria, Françoise Gustin, was recalled immediately in consultation by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders, a few months after the beginning of the conflict. Generally, ambassador reminders are not surprising. They can be done but they are more rare, on the other hand, between European countries.

However, this escalation between two founding member states of the European Union is unprecedented and indicative of the deep political clash that has been undermining Europe for more than three years. "We believe in a Europe that is more united, more united, stronger, facing the great transformations of the world," French President Emmanuel Macron explained in Brussels on 19 November 2018.

With this reminder, the "United Europe" takes a serious blow three months on the back of elections to the European Parliament on May 26.

ACT THIRTEEN YELLOW VESTS

A CONFUSED AND TENDENT ACT

The Ministry of the Interior, which appears to be the only one to have reliable metering measuring instruments, has counted 51400.

A figure that according to government analysts shows a decline in mobilization.

The Yellow Vests and their supporters have for their part counted 110 000 participants throughout France, yesterday, Saturday, February 9, 2019!

A figure similar to that of last week that does not allow to say that the movement is weakening!

Leaving the Place de l'Etoile around 10:30 am, the Parisian motorcade was once again hit by the police.

The first tensions occurred at the level of the National Assembly around 1 pm. At jets street furniture the police responded with jets of tear gas.

A demonstrator had his hand torn off during these clashes, a opening grenade GLI-FU ("weapons" that contain 24 grams of TNT) that exploded in his hand.

A Vigipirate car belonging to the Sentinel Force was set on fire near the Champ de Mars at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Seen from abroad, it was perfectly possible to wonder if Paris Brulait?

The movement of Yellow Vests would give some signs of shortness of breath? Nothing is less certain?

The movement is still largely supported by French public opinion.

According to a survey of YouGov broadcast Thursday, February 7, 2019, 2 French out of 3 still support the Yellow Vests (64%) ... 2 more points in a month and 77% consider mobilization justified (+ 3%).

This poll shows that even if tensions remain all weekend due to (?) Yellow Vests, the situation is not rotten.

This is in any case what has just declared today Nicolas Dupont Aignan (candidate and head of the list of Debout France for the next European elections) on the TV sets of LCI ...

According to the tenor of the French right, the responsibility for this rottenness should be on the account of Emmanuel Macron and his government

YELLOW VESTS AND MOVEMENT 5 STARS

"A new provocation" for the Quai d'Orsay

This meeting was experienced as a new provocation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "This new provocation is not acceptable between neighboring countries and partners in the European Union," denounced Wednesday the Quai d'Orsay. "Mr. Di Maio, who assumes governmental responsibilities, must take care not to undermine, by his repeated interferences, our bilateral relations, in the interest of France as well as of Italy ". Even the Italian embassy in France had not been informed of the minister's visit to the country.

M5S support for Yellow Vests

However, this meeting materializes the support shown by the leader of the Italian 5-star Movement (M5S) to the French "yellow jackets" on the M5S blog in early January. In his message the Deputy Prime Minister encouraged the "yellow vests" to continue the "hard battle" comparing their movement to that of the 5-Star Movement, claiming that the two are animated "of the same spirit". The 5-star movement, founded in 2009 by Beppe Grillo and Gianroberto Casaleggio, is indeed an organization neither right nor left. And not defining itself as a political party, it campaigns to stimulate a form of direct democracy, through opposition to forms of representative democracies. In the 2016 municipal elections, he won the cities of Rome and Turin. Advancing widely, with 32% of the votes, the other political parties in the Italian general elections of 2018, he formed a coalition government with the Northern League led by independent Giuseppe Conte.

No alliance but exchanges

At the meeting the two parties exchanged. "The exchange was very cordial. We realize that there is a lot of common ground between our approach and the M5S, which is born from the same demands of the people, "said Christophe Chalençon World. "We compared our respective platforms, talked about how they were structured, it's very interesting. ", he added. The RIC list is linked to an online NOos-citizens platform that is supposed to allow citizens' demands to be aggregated, before bringing out the most frequent ones to bring them into the political debate. M5S was also built thanks to its digital platform "Rousseau" which allowed the coordination and the definition of the electoral program. For his part, Mr. Di Maio spoke about "a beautiful meeting, the first one before so many others, during which we talked about our countries, social rights and direct democracy". There was no question of alliances.

Vivid dissension in the Yellow Vests

This meeting with the MS5 is surprising, however, by the notorious absence of the head of the list Ingrid Levavasseur and the role played by Christophe Chalençon as spokesperson of the RIC.

Mr. Chalençon, 52, is a blacksmith craftsman, he was a candidate for the legislative in the Vaucluse in 2017 under the various right label. This media figure of the movement of the "yellow vests", was pointed out by claiming, on December 3, 2018 "the resignation of the current government" and the arrival to Matignon "of a strong man like the general of Villiers". His legitimacy as "leader" of "yellow vests" has always been challenged by the movement's base. She was also vigorously challenged by Ingrid Levavasseur who denied that he was the spokesperson for the movement.

The young woman also indicates that she was only informed at the last minute of the meeting, to which she was opposed.

She maintains that this event "has no connection with the RIC".

ARMED INTERVENTION OF FRANCE IN CHAD

French aviation has indeed carried out several raids since last weekend in northern Chad. These raids took place east of the Tibesti Massif in the Ennedi region.

A statement issued by the French army staff on Wednesday, February 6, acknowledges that "from February 3 to 6, 2019, Mirage 2000 of the French armed forces intervened [in the] north-east of Chad, in coordination with the Chadian army, so as to counter the incursion of an armed column from Libya into Chadian territory ".

On several occasions since Sunday, February 3, Paris has indeed launched its Mirage 2000, based in N'Djamena, to bomb a rebel column of the Union of Resistance Forces (UFR) from southern Libya, and that Chadian army did not seem able to stop. In total, French fighter planes reportedly conducted about 20 strikes, according to a military source, and destroyed some 20 vehicles that can transport up to 10 fighters each.

Legal framework of intervention

The head of the government invoked article 35 of the Constitution which defines the conditions for the implementation of the war and the intervention of armed forces abroad. "The French government has decided to involve our armed forces in Chad (...) in response to the request for assistance [from] the President of the Republic of Chad, Idriss Déby Itno". This clarification aims to remove the ambiguity on the legality of the French intervention. Officially, the two countries are bound by a "technical military cooperation agreement" dating back to 1976 and which allows the French military to intervene only if requested.

Technically, these operations in Chad are therefore not part of the fight against terrorism and as part of Operation Barkhane. Nowhere does the official French communiqué mention the mention of a terrorist threat. It is therefore a French intervention in support of an allied regime, in accordance with the rules of international humanitarian law, as specified by the Ministry of the Armed Forces.

Risk of destabilization of Chad and Barkham operation

The critics have quickly rocketed. Interference, defense of a corrupt regime estimate Chadian opponents and French elected officials. But the intervention of the French army aims to avoid the destabilization of Chad by the entry of these rebels.

"The raid of this armed column in the depths of Chadian territory was likely to destabilize this country. The Chadian armed forces are an essential partner of France in the fight against terrorism, both in Mali, within the Minusma, and in the joint force of G5 Sahel through its commitment against Boko Haram [ present in Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria], "said the EMA, without mentioning who was the target.

"The security of Chad and the Sahel are part of the same subregional framework, so the intervention of" Barkhane "is justified," said government spokesman Oumar Yaya Hissein.

These pickup columns actually belong to a rebel Chadian movement, the Union of Resistance Forces, led by President Déby's nephew, Timan Erdimi, and made up of Zaghawa fighters, the ethnic group of the President. They wanted to establish a rear base in northeastern Chad or Sudan. Another rebel group is located in northern Chad: the Military Command Council for the Salvation of the Republic. This CCMSR was born in Libya in 2016 from a split of the UFR. But "since President [Deby] proposed [in 2018] an amnesty to rebels who lay down arms, we consider that there are no more rebels in Chad, but only outlaws, mercenaries and terrorists, "said the spokesman for the government.

Reinforced French device

The tactical French strike force is considerable. The French army can count on the SRI (air intelligence) assets deployed from Niamey. One of the French Reaper drones took part in the actions, providing real-time information on the location and movements of rebel columns. Several drones were mobilized to ensure the permanence of the ISR watch over northern Chad.

Fifty years after Operation Limousin, France continues to fly to the aid of the Chadian regime.

LE STRESS POST-TRAUMATIQUE DE LA CHANTEUSE

" Quand je sors de chez moi et qu'un étranger me touche ou veut simplement me faire part de son enthousiasme concernant ma musique",dit-elle sur le site de sa fondation Born This Way.

THE COMPLETE SYMPHONY OF SCHUBERT COMPLETE WITH THE AI

In 1822, the Austrian composer Franz Schubert had begun the composition of his Symphony No. 8, without being able to complete it.

Or Huawei entrusted the artificial intelligence to finish the symphony of Schubert (the number 8 in B minor).

Huawei has fed an artificial intelligence, embarked on his new smartphone Mate 20 Pro, a hundred original sheet music Schubert and other pieces likely to have influenced the composer at the time.

Then the AI ​​went to work:

She analyzed the timbre, the pitch and the metrics of the first two symphonic movements and gave "harmonic lines" before leaving the hand of American composer Lucas Cantor, winner of several Emmy Awards.

Thus was created the melody of the two missing movements, the third (for which we have some indications of the Austrian musician) and the fourth.

The result was presented to the public for a world premiere Monday, February 4th in the Cadogan Hall in London.

REFERENDUM OR NOT REFERENDUM

MAY 26  2019

Will there be or will there not be a referendum on May 26, 2019, the day of European elections?

What does Emmanuel Macron really have in mind today on this issue?

The question was put on the table by the JDD (Journal du Dimanche) of February 3, which devoted a long analysis to him under the pen of our colleague Hervé Gattegno.

The only thing we can say today is that the government is thinking strongly about this solution to get out of the crisis resulting from the popular revolt of Yellow Vests just offset by the yellow scarves.

To interpret, we have been forced for some days to rely on confidences cleverly distilled by some close to the President of the Republic or by some learned analysts whose views are often diametrically opposed.

We will leave, immediately, aside the confidences of the affidés, not verifiable for the moment. We only know that these confidences are based on the information that the Ministry of the Interior has spoken, late last week with printers and paper manufacturers, "to be caught off guard and be ready the D-day because the final decision will have to be taken very quickly ".

We will analyze only the political and legal opinions including those of some who believe that the rapid organization of a referendum would be an asset for Emmanuel Macron, heckled by a public opinion that overwhelmingly has continued to show his anger. .

The sling of Yellow Vests and the rage she caused to emerge throughout France had caused Emmanuel Macron to lose the first round.

The Great Debate, widely relayed by the media, especially those in power, and the main issues he has emerged have convinced, he seems to the Head of State and prepare the beautiful by organizing to do this. referendum some of whom claim that it could take place on May 26, 2019.

Technically and practically the choice of this date would have advantages. Voters would only have to move once and the organizing councils could limit the material and human burden of their organization.

This scenario is however disputed by the opposition but also by some political experts who consider that the idea of ​​organizing a referendum on May 26 is anything but good. And the arguments are not lacking!

In the first place, because the results of the Great Debate, which began on December 15, 2018, must be published between March 9 and 16, via general meetings of citizens drawn by lot. So we do not really know what are the major issues that will come out of the debate and what will be the issues to be included in the referendum.

Knowing that Christophe Castaner, the Minister of the Interior pleads for a referendum with multiple questions (a QCM of Sciences Po) the time available to organize the campaign risk the day after March 16 to be too short! Moreover, and given that in general, a referendum is a very strong citizen moment it will be necessary that the value of the questions is powerful enough that the result generates something that is not binary and the stake would be summed up to be for or against the line of the President of the Republic

This is also the reason why support for the Head of State has drawn this idea of ​​multiple issues by not limiting them to institutional issues. But even on this point, the analyzes diverge!

Macronist senators like François Patriat (Cote d'Or) argue for the introduction of societal and socio-economic themes, a first in France since the advent of the Fifth Republic.

On the occasion of his informal and unexpected interview last Friday, February 2, 2019, Emmanuel Macron did not close the door to a referendum to be held on May 26, 2019, "to encourage openness to permanent public deliberation". he added "to satisfy the people who want to regain control of their destiny".

In the presidential camp, moreover, some voices were raised to say that the bet was risky. The main risk could be abstention. In 2005, participation in the referendum on the Maastricht Treaty was 30%, a very low turnout, which, if it were to renew itself, may not re-credibilize and re-legitimize Emmanuel Macron.

The fiercest opponents denounce a political maneuver and a political calculation! For Gilbert Collard, lawyer and deputy RN, "the referendum is a good idea that Emmanuel Macron prostitutes"! The opposition forces as a whole denounce the circle and one more smoking.

Yesterday, Tuesday, February 5, two senators have addressed Prime Minister Edouard Philippe present during the current affairs. On this occasion, Edouard Philippe was cautious "in the face of the possibility of a referendum on the day of the European elections which would have the main drawback of calling into question the clarity of the debate on Europe". For Edouard Philippe France has everything to gain from a clear European debate.

Responding to Roger Karouchi (Senator LR) but also Hervé Marseille (Centrist Group), the Prime Minister said he had heard the remark on "a form of disagreement on the idea of ​​a referendum on European elections day. ". "I hear these remarks," he added, "and I take note of them. A number of arguments are perfectly legitimate. Edouard Philippe also said that nothing had been decided and that the reflection and consultations were continuing! It was nevertheless understood on this occasion that there would be more than the thickness of a sheet of cigarette paper between the Elysee and Matignon on the subject.

The appetite for the debate that currently animates French citizens, Yellow Vests or not, advocates for the rapid holding of a referendum, May 26, for example.

But this referendum could be risky with regard to the political survival of Emmanuel Macron. This is what Mattéo Ghisalberti (editor-in-chief of Putsch) has just said, who, like all foreign journalists, observes what is happening in France at the moment and who has just invited the President of the Republic to look at what passed the other side of the Alps in December 2016.

From 2014 the Democratic Party of Mattéo Renzi chained success. The international visibility of the latter had become enormous, with a highlight at the time of the World Expo in Milan. This success gave the impression that nothing was impossible for him, a perception comparable to that of the Elysee at this moment. Despite this, a majority of Italian voters, also forced to live in precarious conditions and hardship, with unvalued wages and unemployment exceeding 10%, rejected the proposal for reform by referendum of the institutions proposed by the Prime Minister (39). years). The majority NON ipso facto led to the fall of Mattéo Renzi.

The French executive should ponder the Italian example, with Italy becoming the laboratory of Europe.

ABOUT THE WEDDING OF CARLOS GHOSN

As revealed by Le Figaro, Renault discovered that the Château de Versailles had booked the rental of the Grand Trianon, a service valued at 50,000 euros, as a counterpart of the sponsorship contract signed between the two partners in June 2016.

A benefit that was "earmarked for the personal benefit of Mr. Ghosn".

The reception in great pomp for the marriage of Carlos Ghosn with his second wife, in October 2016, took place at the Trianon of the Palace of Versailles so that the former boss of Renault could have rented the Grand Trianon for 50 000 euros as counterpart of a sponsorship contract.

But marriage is a priori a private event, with no connection with the patronage of Renault.

His financing could therefore constitute an abuse of social good on the part of his former boss.

The automaker announced Thursday it would report to justice that his former boss had received for his

"Personal benefit" a payment of 50,000 euros.

This information was discovered as part of checks launched after the arrest of his former CEO on November 19 in Japan for suspicion of financial malpractice as president of Nissan.

Until then, investigations at Renault have not highlighted any fault attributable to the former boss.

CALLIPHORA BY YSEL FOURNET

The Real Dreams Gallery is currently showing

"CALLIPHORA" by Ysel FOURNET

Expo of January 12> March 3, 2019

• Opening: Saturday, January 12th from 5pm

• Opening: from Wednesday to Saturday from 3 to 7 pm or by appointment except for holidays

• Guided tour, Saturday, February 9 at 17h

Old age, illness, disability, poverty ... become his playgrounds. Going to the simplest, at first,

He takes his Grandfather as his model and mischievously combines his questioning about old age and his desire to know his ancestor better.

His search for the limits pushes him towards the AP-HP (Public Assistance Hospitals of Paris) where he discovers through his photographs the heat of the bodies

and the coldness of the technical acts of the operating theaters. The world of disability is knocking on its door with a Butterfly Order

white. His photographs are enriched then with the pain, the joy, the scientific references and the writing which are superimposed.

If the destitution he experienced during his childhood remained like a DNA in his way of life, the encounter with poverty during his travels in Africa was, for him, the discovery of another limit of the life and society.

Since Ysel wanders between the testimony, the reportage, the portrait and the staging, marrying with subtlety the beautiful and

the pregnant.

Two years of study at the GOBELINS school will be most useful to tame the light and put into practice the most modern digital techniques.

Today, nourished by his previous work, Ysel has taken a new step by combining photographic art with plastic art. Indeed far from reporting, the documentary aspect Ysel enriches his work with overprints and materials in connection with the chosen medium.

The paper disappears the metal arrives in its series named "CALLIPHORA". (... / ...) But where does this word "CALLIPHORA" come from? this is the first

question that burns our lips. Ysel specifies that it is a fly, this blue fly which has for vocation to break down the organic materials, CALLIPHORA "who bears the beauty".

And as a boomerang, the whole universe of this collection reminds us of life, death and moreover the passage.

Each photo tells us that we are only vagabonds on this earth.

From childhood to old age one would only survive on oneself so that in the end, in an eternal movement, what is dead is irremediably transformed into life. "Calliphora" everything is said.

Every moment of our existence is thus swept by the photographer.

From the procreation, at the end of life the works jostle us even in their titles. Nidicus, Passage, Homo ergaster, Dementia, Sinus or Chronos, Acid Amine "tells us the long way of life that goes to life.

Science is at the heart of this reminiscent production, the carefully hammered message that the human being is, like all organic matter, far beyond the spiritual, eternal by its constitution and thanks to this famous blue fly.

Based on interview with Xavier Beaufils 12/2018

The technique

Ysel invites us to his workshop. No dark room, no white gloves, no wonder we are almost at a coachbuilder. Indeed, the basic material here is the corrugated sheet. It must be flattened, hit to obtain a usable plate.

For larger models the plates are riveted to make them integral. Then "just" remove the rust, brush, put rust, paint white, sublimate everything.

Three cooking at 160 ° will be necessary. Finally, we will be able to transfer the photo to a hot press and finally add an anti-UV, anti-shock varnish.

Each work is unique by its rendering and the hazards (aberrations) of these many manipulations. Of course all the creative work of the photographer was done upstream.

His two years of study at GOBELINS school are most useful for taming the light and putting the most modern digital techniques into practice.

Some landmarks

Ysel, born in 1977 in a hippie community in the south of France, studies photography at the Gobelins school in Paris.

After crisscrossing France in his truck, he is currently working in Louisfert, his adopted land of Brittany.

Photographer of reportage then plastic photographer, he also practices painting, sculpture and theater.

His universe: surreal, overwhelming, disturbing, perhaps even disturbing, which is sure it does not leave indifferent.

NEW COMPROMISING INDICES IN THE SCREENING OF THE MHD RECIPIENT FOR HOMICIDE

And the investigation is progressing. Despite the absence of "scientific or technical evidence", the investigators have just uncovered "disturbing" clues, according to the Parisian, about the involvement of the "Prince of Afro-trap" who denies any involvement.

A 23-year-old man died of a beating and a stab wound in a brawl between rival gangs in the middle of July in the 10th district of Paris.

"Several young people of the 19th were descended on the 10th in mode 'operation punitive'", according to a source close to the file. The rapper's black sedan had been found burned the next day not far from the place of the drama.

It's a video that shows MHD coming out of his Mercedes that night to hit the victim in the head, before running away. A blonde haircut, identical to the one that Mohammed Sylla, whose real name was, was wearing three days earlier at a concert, as well as a tracksuit from the Puma brand, would have betrayed him particularly.

Indeed, it is not a question of a banal tracksuit, but of a clothing of the mark Puma, not commercialized, that only the ambassadors of the mark carry.

In his defense the rapper said that many young people in his city wore colored hair in platinum blonde.

"There are more than 20 in the city to have a blonde dye. He defended himself.

Concerning the clothes of the Puma brand, MHD explained to receive many parcels which he shared with his entourage.

"I get several packages [of clothes] every week and it happens to me to distribute to people [...] I open my chest, either it's me who gives, or people serve themselves directly." " -he declares.

MHD, who denies any involvement in this homicide, was also recognized on the spot by passersby.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF

THE PRESIDENT OF MADAGASCAR ANDRY RAJOELINA

With error or omission we are fortunate to announce that the new government of President Andry Rajoelina

Recall that after a transfer of power that was made between two elected presidents, Hery Rajaonarimampianina and Andry Rajoelina, which represents the obvious illustration of a democratic transfer of power, in respect of republican values.

In his address to the nation in front of thousands of Malagasy people attending the ceremony, Andry Rajoelina promised to fill in five years the economic backlog accumulated by the country since its independence in 1960

"From now on, the Malagasy will always be victorious but not conquered every time in the economy, in the social sector, in the cultural sector, in all sectors. This is my priority, " said Andry Rajoelina just after being sworn in as president of Madagascar.

President Andry Rajoelina also announced the creation of industries in the six provinces of the country to equalize development across Madagascar.

Since the energy sector is an obstacle preventing entrepreneurs from investing in the provinces, he promised to double electricity production during his tenure and sell it at a low price to the public.

"We are going to create a solar panel manufacturing company to bring light to every family," he said. "We will double the cultivated land in five years so that Madagascar imports more rice, but exports it in five years" .

"We will create a new city to ease congestion in the capital Antananarivo. Work will begin this year 2019. This city will be the pride of the Malagasy, because it will be the most modern city of the Indian Ocean. All the ministerial offices will be transferred there . "

President Andry Rajoelina chose as prime minister is Christian Ntsay.

CAMP FIRE THE MOST DARING FIRE

CALIFORNIA HISTORY

A balance sheet still provisional. Tens of thousands of people had to be evacuated.
