Après le succès de Chambre 12, Louane a sorti un deuxième album en 2017. Dans ce nouvel opus, la jeune chanteuse s’est entourée de plusieurs amis comme Vianney ou encore Benjamin Biolay. Dans les colonnes de Midi Libre, elle évoque avec tendresse ses relations amicales avec ses deux camarades.

En 2013, Louane se fait connaître du grand public grâce au télé-crochet The Voice. Un an plus tard, elle est couronnée de succès pour son rôle très touchant dans La famille Bélier, le film d’Eric Lartigau. Sa jolie performance lui vaudra même le César du meilleur espoir féminin. Une carrière qui a commencé sous les meilleurs auspices. D’autant plus que Louane a eu la chance de croiser de belles personnes sur sa route. Le chanteur Vianney lorsqu’elle se lance dans la musique, puis Benjamin Biolay dont elle a fait la connaissance un peu plus tard, en mai dernier, et qu’elle va vite considérer comme “un professeur”.

Dans les colonnes de Midi Libre, la chanteuse de 21 ans revient sur les liens d’amitiés qui l’unissent aux deux jeunes chanteurs.“Chaque histoire est différente en fait. Avec Vianney, je suis déjà amie, ça s’est fait naturellement. Benjamin Biolay, j’ai chanté avec lui au Festival de Cannes et on s’est super bien entendu” a confié Louane. Les deux hommes se sont d’ailleurs fait une joie de collaborer à son nouvel album. “Chacun a su trouver les mots et les mélodies qui me correspondent” s’est réjouie la jeune femme.

En novembre dernier, Louane avait déjà confié tout le bien qu’elle pensait de l’interprète de Je m’en vais. « Vian­ney a toujours été très impor­tant pour moi. Il n’est vrai­ment pas dans le paraître. C’est diffi­cile de trou­ver des gens à qui faire confiance dans le milieu de la musique, y compris les artistes en fait. Et fina­le­ment, il est l’une des personnes les plus vraies que j’aie pu rencon­trer dans ce milieu », avait expliqué très émue la chanteuse dans l’émission 50min Inside.

Le bras de fer judiciaire s’annonce explosif. David Hallyday et Laura Smet ont décidé de contester le testament de leur père Johnny devant la justice. Devant le tribunal de grande instance de Nanterre jeudi 15 mars, les deux aînés devraient réclamer un droit de regard sur l’album posthume ainsi que le gel de son patrimoine. En attendant la date du procès, Laeticia fourbit ses armes. Avec son avocat, maître Arda­­van Amir-Aslani, Laeticia prépare la riposte. Et les pièces présentées à l’audience ne manqueront pas de faire sensation.

L’avocat de Laeticia Hallyday “compte produire l’enregistrement audio du rockeur, dictant pendant trois heures ses dernières volontés à son notaire, histoire de prouver que Johnny était bien sain d’esprit au moment de la rédaction de son testament” peut-on lire dans les colonnes de Public en kiosques ce vendredi 9 mars.”Un rendez-vous qui s’est déroulé devant deux témoins“précise le magazine. De plus ce rendez-vous se serait déroulé “sans Laeticia“. Une information démentie par un proche de Laeticia Hallyday.

Une défense du clan Laeticia Hallyday qui promet de faire des étincelles. Tout sera mis en œuvre pour prouver que le rockeur n’a pas été manipulé. Attaquée de toutes parts, qualifiée de “veuve noire” ou encore de “manipulatrice“, la veuve du chanteur prouve ainsi qu’elle ne compte pas se laisser faire. Le procès risque de prendre des mois voire des années. Le clan Hallyday n’a pas fini de se déchirer.

An Iraqi militia leader reportedly warned of a strong response to the U.S. after five airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militias hit Iraq and Syria. 

“The blood of the martyrs will not be in vain and our response will be very tough on the American forces in Iraq,” senior commander Jamal Jaafar Ibrahimi, also known by Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, said late on Sunday, according to Reuters. 

Iran said it strongly condemned the raids as “terrorism,” according to Reuters.

Reuters reports that Iraqi security and militia said at least 25 militia fighters were killed and at least 55 were wounded after the three airstrikes in Iraq. 

Al-Mohandes is a senior commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), and formerly headed the Kata’ib Hezbollah group, according to Reuters. He is also one of Iran’s most powerful allies in Iraq, the newswire notes. 

The U.S. launched F-15 Strike Eagles at the five targets, including two in Eastern Syria, that U.S. officials said were associated with Kata’ib Hezbollah. 

Secretary of Defense Mark EsperMark EsperUS launches airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militia in Iraq, Syria Trump escalates pressure campaign on Tehran with appeal to Iranians Russia commissions intercontinental hypersonic weapon MORE told reporters Sunday the strikes “were successful” and he was discussing available options for the U.S. to take “additional actions as necessary” with President TrumpDonald John TrumpUS launches airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militia in Iraq, Syria Trade, interest rates top finance fights for 2020 Five health care fights to watch in 2020 MORE. 

Secretary of State Mike PompeoMichael (Mike) Richard PompeoUS launches airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militia in Iraq, Syria Trump escalates pressure campaign on Tehran with appeal to Iranians Putin’s next aggression MORE, speaking alongside Esper on Sunday, said the airstrikes were a “decisive response” to what he said were threats against American forces that “has been going on now for weeks and weeks and weeks.” 

Earlier this month Pompeo blamed Iranian-backed forces for a series of attacks on bases in Iraq and said any attacks would be “answered with a decisive U.S. response.”

Iranian government spokesman Ali Rabiei denied Iran had “any role in the attack on American forces,” Reuters reports, citing the semi-official news agency Fars. 

“This claim without any evidence cannot justify bombing and killing people in violation of international law,” he said.

Turkey’s highest court on Thursday ruled that the country’s ban on the Wikipedia website violates freedom of expression, The Associated Press reported, citing the country’s state-run news agency.

The court’s justices reportedly voted 10-6 in favor of Wikipedia. 

Turkey blocked access to Wikipedia under a law that allows it to restrict access to material that is considered to be a threat to national security in April 2017.

The block came after Turkey’s communications ministry argued that the website attempted to run a “smear campaign” against the country by allowing certain articles to claim that the Turkish government coordinated with militant groups. 

In May 2017 Wikipedia petitioned the Constitutional Court after talks with Turkish officials and a challenge in lower courts failed, according to the AP. 

The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that operates Wikipedia, celebrated the decision on Thursday. 

“We hope that access will be restored in Turkey soon in the light of this new ruling from Turkey’s highest court,” the foundation’s statement said, adding that it will update its comment if it received notification that the block has been lifted. 

“We join the people of Turkey, and the millions of readers and volunteers who rely on Wikipedia around the world, to welcome this important recognition for universal access to knowledge.”

2020 is shaping up to be a crucial year on the economic and financial front.

President TrumpDonald John TrumpUS launches airstrikes targeting Iran-backed militia in Iraq, Syria Trade, interest rates top finance fights for 2020 Five health care fights to watch in 2020 MORE is eager to protect a solid stretch of economic growth and clinch key victories in his trade fights with the election approaching. Democrats, meanwhile, are striving to expose the shortcomings of the Trump economy while battling back against his deregulatory agenda. Policymakers and the financial industry are bracing for a bruising campaign and how it may affect the economy.

Here are five crucial fights that could define economic and financial policy in 2020.

Trump’s trade wars

Trump concluded 2019 with two significant victories for his trade agenda: the Democratic-led House’s approval of his new North American trade pact, and the outline of a preliminary trade deal with China.

But the president’s trade war with China is far from over, and another fight with the European Union may kick into high gear in 2020.

U.S. and Chinese officials announced last week that they have reached preliminary trade deal that will be released following a typical legal review. While Trump and top White House officials have touted the agreement as a major breakthrough, previous agreements with China have fallen apart throughout the last year. 

The preliminary trade deal would also leave in place U.S tariffs on billions of dollars in Chinese goods and retaliatory tariffs on some American agricultural exports, raising the risks of further economic harm.

The trade war between the world’s largest economies is one of several forces driving a global economic slowdown. But Trump’s simmering trade battle with the European Union might also hinder growth abroad and harm U.S. firms dependent on transatlantic trade.

Trump imposed 25-percent tariffs in October on an array of popular and iconic European food products, such as wine, cheese, olives, Irish and Scotch whiskies, pork and cookies. The EU has threatened to retaliate with its own tariffs on U.S. food products, which would boost pressure on the ailing agricultural sector.

 

The fight between Trump and the Fed

Trump has shattered more than two decades of precedent with his campaign to bend the Federal Reserve to his will. 

The president has sought to bully the independent central bank into slashing interest rates to near-zero or negative levels to juice the economy and weaken the value of the dollar. Doing so could spur an economic surge ahead of the 2020 election and give Trump added leverage in his trade war with China.

The Fed has resisted Trump’s demands so far. While the bank cut interest rates three times in 2019, borrowing costs still remain several ticks above Trump’s preferred level. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has ruled out cutting rates to the negative levels seen in countries teetering on the brink of recession, and the bank is expected to hold steady on rates for the foreseeable future.

But as Trump nears what is expected to be a close election, the president may ramp up his pressure on the Fed to stimulate the economy regardless of its effect on inflation or financial stability.

  

The fight over Trump’s financial records

The Supreme Court is set to issue a groundbreaking ruling in three cases involving congressional and prosecutorial requests for Trump’s financial records that could shape the way Congress can oversee the executive branch.

Two cases involve financial records subpoenas from Democratic lawmakers for a broad range of financial documents related to President Trump and his businesses. One case centers on subpoenas sent to Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, while another involves requests sent to Deutsche Bank and Capital One.

A third case involves a subpoena from Manhattan prosecutors against Mazars USA for Trump’s personal and corporate financial records, including tax returns, from 2011 to 2018.

The court will hear arguments in the case in March and will issue a ruling before the end of June. If the high court upholds the subpoenas, the decision could give lawmakers and prosecutors a trove of Trump’s personal financial information just months before the 2020 election.

 

A legal challenge to the CFPB

The Supreme Court is also set to rule on another separation of powers case next year, but one with far greater implications for the financial sector. In Selia Law vs. the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the court must decide if the powerful financial regulator’s structure impedes on the president’s authority and how far the justices can go to fix it.

The CFPB is led by a sole director appointed by the president, confirmed by the Senate, and only fireable “for cause,” which is generally considered to be misconduct or severe incompetence.

Critics of the CFPB, including the Trump administration and current director Kathy Kraninger, argue that the bureau’s structure impedes on the president’s authority. They claim that because the CFPB director is so powerful and the president can only fire her for cause, the bureau’s structure limits constitutional executive authority.

The bureau’s defenders insist that Congress did not overstep its authority and that the CFPB’s structure mirrors other similar agencies. 

If the Supreme Court sides with the Trump administration, it could do something as minor as asking Congress to sort out the conflict, or go as far as shutting down the CFPB entirely. But a likely middle ground could be simply declaring that the president may fire the CFPB director at will, not just for cause.

Another fight over spending

Lawmakers struggled to reach a deal to fund the government until last week, shortly before the late-December deadline to avoid a shutdown. The 2020 election is set to scramble that process by raising the political temperature and shortening the congressional calendar.

Congress spends most of the first two months before the election on recess under federal law, so lawmakers must decide whether they can strike a funding deal before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, or use a stopgap to push the deadline until after the election.

And while Congress squabbles, steady increases in domestic and defense spending are set to push the deficit to $1 trillion for the first time since 2012.

The Spaniard has admitted that his number two has been in contact with the Gunners, but he is still relying on a fellow countryman for the time being

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Mikel Arteta has held talks with Arsenal over succeeding Unai Emery at the Emirates Stadium.

Arteta has emerged as the number one candidate to become the Gunners’ next permanent manager, after holding a meeting with the club’s managing director Vinai Venkatesham in the early hours of Monday morning.

Goal understands that negotiations with the two parties are due to continue, with a final decision set to be reached by the end of the week.

Arteta has no previous managerial experience, but he has served as Guardiola’s assistant for three trophy-laden seasons at the Etihad Stadium.

City have won seven major honours during that time, including back-to-back Premier League titles, fully establishing themselves as the dominant force in English football while breaking all kinds of records.

Guardiola’s men will be aiming to continue their defence of the Carabao Cup when they travel to Oxford United for a quarter-final tie on Wednesday.

Despite ongoing speculation over his future, the City boss has revealed that Arteta will be joining him in the dugout at Grenoble Road, but he is not yet certain whether he will be able to continue to rely on the 37-year-old.

When asked to address Arteta’s position at a press conference on Tuesday, Guardiola stated: “I know what you know. Today I saw him. He’s travelling, yes.

“We were so smart to pick him up and now the others want him. He’s an incredible person, a good manager, that’s why he’s done well with us.

“He’s talking with Arsenal so I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Guardiola added on being kept in the loop regarding Arteta’s meeting with Arsenal’s director at the start of the week: “Yes, I knew it. He’s an adult, he knows exactly what to do. He was incredibly honest with me.

“The organisation of the club is always live, it doesn’t always stay the same, what works today might not work tomorrow. The people today maybe won’t be here tomorrow.

“Now he’s part of our group and staff and he stays here. When we have any new news I’ll know, you’ll know and we’ll see what happens

“It happens. We had Lee Nobes went to Liverpool and now teams want Mikel. He knows what we want, what we’d like, but in the end, it’s his decision. We decided to work together three years ago, I’d like him to be up here on Wednesday.”

City are also still contention for European silverware, having booked their place in the Champions League knockout stages by finishing top of Group C.

The Premier League champions were handed a tough last-16 tie against Real Madrid when the draw was made in Switzerland on Monday, which will see Guardiola resume hostilities with a familiar rival from his Barcelona days.

“It’s an incredible test for us. The kings of this competition, we’ll prepare as best as possible, we’ve got two months and we’ll see what situation we arrive in come February,” the former Barca boss added.

Johnny Hallyday a fait sa première apparition à la télévision grâce à Line Renaud. Le rockeur a passé toute sa vie à travailler son talent. En 2014, il expliquait au magazine Télérama pourquoi il ne croyait pas aux télé-crochets, “ces émissions de télé-réalité où l’on dit à des gamins qu’ils sont les nouveaux James Brown ou Kurt Cobain“.

C’est grâce à sa marraine artistique, Line Renaud, que Johnny Hallyday a fait ses premiers pas dans les petits écrans. Avec plus de 50 ans de travail et de concerts derrière lui, le rockeur voyait d’un mauvais œil les émissions comme la Star Academy, The Voice ou encore la Nouvelle Star. “C’est terrible ces émissions de télé-réalité où l’on dit à des gamins qu’ils sont les nouveaux James Brown, Aretha Franklin ou Kurt Cobain. C’est n’importe quoi. Personne ne remplace personne. Et surtout pas ceux-là. On est soi-même ou bien juste un sosie, un imitateur“, racontait-il à Télérama, en 2014.

Pour l’idole des jeunes, ce genre de programmes était plus un frein qu’un tremplin pour artiste. “En leur faisant croire aux étoiles, en réalité, on leur casse leur rêve. Ça dure quoi, un an au mieux ? Après, c’est fini. Depuis le temps, il y en a beaucoup qui ont gagné, mais ils sont où ? Il reste qui ? Jenifer, Nolwenn… C’est maigre“, a expliqué le chanteur. Le fils spirituel de Charles Aznavour a d’ailleurs travaillé avec ces deux chanteuses gagnantes des premières saisons de la Star Academy.

Dans le lot, un des gagnants a attiré un peu plus son attention. “Il y a aussi Julien Doré qui a écrit un titre pour moi. Lui est plus malin que les autres. Il fait beaucoup de choses, il est un peu comédien aussi. Mais personne n’apprend à personne, a affirmé Johnny Hallyday. Il n’y a que la volonté et se frotter au public qui permet de découvrir et montrer ce que l’on a dans le ventre, de quoi on est capable, qui on est vraiment. Les conseils, ça va cinq minutes…“, s’est-il même agacé. Venant de la part d’un artiste qui a rempli le stade de France et enflammé le Champ de Mars en 2009, ces conseils-ci sont peut-être bons à prendre.

Quelques semaines après le décès de Johnny Hallyday, sa femme Laeticia et ses filles Jade et Joy vivent le deuil près de sa dépouille enterrée sur l’île de Saint Barthélémy. Tout doucement, les deux jeunes filles retrouvent peu à peu le sourire.

Le 6 décembre dernier, Johnny Hallyday décédait des suites d’un cancer des poumons dans sa maison de Marnes-la-Coquette. Il laissait derrière lui son épouse depuis plus de 20 ans Laeticia, son fils David, sa fille Laura, ses filles Jade et Joy et des milliers de fans éplorés. Après un grandiose hommage national qui s’est cloturé par une cérémonie religieuse à l’église de La Madeleine à Paris, la dépouille du rockeur a été enterrée sur l’île de Saint Barthélémy.

C’est également sur l’île que Laeticia et ses deux filles ont passé les quelques semaines qui ont suivi la mort de Johnny Hallyday en visitant sa tombe chaque jour. Pour ce premier Noël sans le patriarche, Laeticia a été entourée de ses proches pour affronter l’épreuve. Pour Noël, l’ancienne belle-fille de Johnny Hallyday et mère de ses deux petites filles Estelle Lefébure, est venu rejoindre le clan en compagnie de son fils Giuliano. Sur la plage, Jade et Joy, qui selon Ici Paris ont même esquissé un sourire, étaient entourées de leur oncle Grégory, de sa compagne Maryline, de leur tante Margaux Thibaut, la demi-soeur de Laeticia mais aussi de Sylviane, la fidèle nounou ainsi que d’Estelle Lefébure et de son fils. Sous le soleil des Caraïbes, la peine s’adoucit doucement.
