The Defense Department announced Friday that it will implement new guidelines for vetting foreign students attending U.S. military programs and impose new restrictions following last month’s deadly shooting at an air base in Pensacola, Fla.

The new restrictions include banning international military students from possessing firearms and limiting access to government property and travel while off duty. The new guidelines come after 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force, opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Dec. 6, killing three sailors and wounding eight others.

“Going forward we will put several new policies and security procedures in place to protect our people, programs, and installations. These include new restrictions on international military students for possession and use of firearms, and control measures for limiting their access to military installations and U.S. government facilities,” Director for Defense Intelligence Garry Reid told reporters.

Reid added that the Pentagon will also put in place new training and education standards in order to detect and encourage reporting of possible insider threats, and establish new vetting procedures that include continuous monitoring of international military students while they are enrolled in U.S.-based training programs.

Trainees will also now be continuously monitored on social media platforms and restricted in terms of how far they can travel from where they train without prior written approval, something that will be determined by local commanders, a senior Pentagon official told reporters.

Current and future foreign students must acknowledge and abide by the new standards as a condition of their enrollment.

Once the new protocols are in place, military departments “will be authorized to fully resume the training that has been suspended since the attack in Pensacola,” Reid said.

The Defense Department’s new rules came about after a security review triggered by the shooting, which Trump administration officials have called an act of terrorism.

Reid also acknowledged that “there was no evidence of assistance or pre-knowledge of the attack by other members of the Saudi military (or any other foreign nationals) who are training in the United States,” but that during Alshamrani’s investigation “we learned of derogatory material possessed by 21 members of the Saudi military who are training here in the United States.”

Training for the Saudi students, which has been restricted to the classroom since the shooting, is still on hold, though chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said Thursday that the military expects to soon resume their operational training.

About 5,180 foreign students are in the U.S. for military training, and the Pentagon has trained more than 1 million such students since the program began.

Welcome to Wednesday’s Overnight Health Care.

The impeachment trial is about to begin in the Senate, but there’s plenty of health care news on tap. Health insurers want the Supreme Court to uphold ObamaCare, Mike Bloomberg is vowing to escalate his war on vaping, and lawmakers are pressing Trump officials to change federal marijuana laws. 

We’ll start with the ObamaCare case…

Health insurers urge Supreme Court to take ObamaCare case, uphold health law

America’s Health Insurance Plans, the lobby for the insurance industry, is siding with blue states in urging the Supreme Court to take up a case over ObamaCare and uphold the health law.

Health insurers like predictability and stability. Uncertainty over the future of the law in the past led to higher insurance rates. The insurance companies warned that allowing the case to linger in the lower courts would cause damaging uncertainty as the prospect of the sweeping health care law being struck down hung over their heads. 

Prolonging the case “casts a long shadow of uncertainty over ACA-based investments and denies health insurance providers, states, individuals, and other stakeholders of much needed clarity,” AHIP writes in its brief. “Invalidation of the ACA would wreak havoc on the health care system.”

Big picture: The brief is another sign that even as Democratic presidential candidates attack the industry over its opposition to “Medicare for All,” health insurers have become increasingly vocal in supporting the current system, opposing undoing ObamaCare after spending years adapting to it.

Lawmakers press Trump officials to change federal marijuana rules

House lawmakers are growing increasingly frustrated with restrictions on federal marijuana research and are putting pressure on regulators to change the rules.

There isn’t bipartisan agreement on every solution, but Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday said they were fed up with the “catch-22” limits on marijuana studies.

During a House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee hearing Wednesday, lawmakers from both parties pressed officials from the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse about obstacles to studying the safety and effectiveness of cannabis products, including hemp-based cannabidiol.

All of the administration officials at the hearing agreed the current studies on the benefits and health consequences of marijuana are inadequate. However, they indicated that changes are not going to be immediately forthcoming, as more studies are needed.

“Researchers are in a catch-22. They can’t conduct cannabis research until they show cannabis has a medical use, but they can’t show cannabis has a medical use until they can conduct research,” said Rep. Anna EshooAnna Georges EshooOvernight Health Care: Health insurers urge Supreme Court to take ObamaCare case | Lawmakers press Trump officials to change marijuana rules | Bloomberg vows to ban flavored e-cigs if elected Lawmakers press Trump officials to change federal marijuana rules Overnight Health Care: Big Pharma looks to stem losses after trade deal defeat | House panel to examine federal marijuana policies | House GOP reopens investigation into opioid manufacturers MORE (D-Calif.).

What’s next: The DEA is working to increase the number of federal marijuana growers. A government-authorized farm at the University of Mississippi has been the sole grower of federally approved marijuana since 1968. DEA senior policy adviser Matthew Strait said he is aware of the limitations and has drafted new regulations that would allow additional marijuana growers.

Bloomberg vows to ban flavored e-cigarettes if elected president

Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg on Tuesday said he would ban the sale of all flavored e-cigarettes and raise taxes on traditional cigarettes if he wins the White House. 

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, said he would also push to reduce the amount of nicotine in traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products to “nonaddictive levels.”

Tobacco control has been one of Bloomberg’s top priorities as a philanthropist and as a politician. 

ADVERTISEMENT

Bloomberg Philanthropies in September announced a $160 million initiative to “end the youth e-cigarette epidemic.” 

An estimated 27.5 percent of high school students said they used e-cigarettes in the past month, according to a recent study conducted by government researchers. 

Why it matters: Bloomberg’s approach is much more aggressive than Trump’s… While the Food & Drug Administration announced last month it would include pod-based products, like those sold by Juul, with exemptions for menthol flavors and open-tank systems that are typically found in vape shops. Bloomberg would ban them all.

Warren, who supports “Medicare for All,” said Buttigieg’s plan to create a public option costs less because it’s only a “small improvement” over the current system.

“They’re improvements over where we are now but they are small improvements,” Warren said. “That’s why they cost so much less.”

Medicare for All would cover every American and replace private insurers, at a cost of about $30 trillion over 10 years, according to some estimates.

Buttigieg’s campaign has said his plan, which would create a public option to compete with private insurance, would cost $1.5 trillion over a decade.

Good news for salad eaters… CDC lifts E. coli warning

ADVERTISEMENT

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is lifting its warning about E. coli in romaine lettuce, saying the outbreak seems to be over. 

Since November, the CDC has been warning people not to eat romaine lettuce from the Salinas Valley growing region in California because of the risk of E. coli infection. 

The CDC is now removing that warning, saying that the “outbreak appears to be over.”

The outbreak infected 167 people from 27 states, the CDC said, with 85 hospitalizations but no deaths. 

This was the second time there had been a warning about an E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce since 2018, when another risk of infection led to an advisory.

Improving federal law for pregnant workers

Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs on Thursday announced that the country’s cyber police had started “criminal proceedings” around the recent hacking of gas company Burisma, and noted that authorities were seeking the assistance of the FBI in pursuing the case. 

The ministry wrote in a statement that criminal proceedings had been launched, and that “persons involved in committing this criminal offense are being identified.”

The company has been propelled into the spotlight in recent months due to the impeachment inquiry into President TrumpDonald John TrumpLev Parnas implicates Rick Perry, says Giuliani had him pressure Ukraine to announce Biden probe Saudi Arabia paid 0 million for cost of US troops in area Parnas claims ex-Trump attorney visited him in jail, asked him to sacrifice himself for president MORE, which began after an anonymous whistleblower report alleged that Trump had tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenLev Parnas implicates Rick Perry, says Giuliani had him pressure Ukraine to announce Biden probe Ex-Obama official on Sanders-Warren feud: ‘I don’t think it played out well for either of them’ Parnas says he doesn’t think that Joe Biden did anything wrong regarding Ukraine MORE and his son Hunter Biden, who served on the company’s board between 2014 and 2019.

The proceedings were launched following a story from The New York Times earlier this week, which reported findings by cyber group Area 1 Security that Russian military hackers had launched email phishing attacks designed to steal credentials of Burisma employees and gain access to the company’s systems. 

The attack reportedly came amid impeachment hearings in November.

According to the Times, the Russian hackers successfully got into at least one server, although it is unclear what they were able to access or whether anything was stolen.

The ministry noted that it had approached both the FBI and Area 1 Security for assistance in the probe into the hacking of Burisma. 

“In order to properly investigate the circumstances of the offense, the National Police is initiating the creation of a joint international investigation team, to which FBI representatives will be invited,” the ministry wrote.

The announcement of the criminal proceedings in relation to the Burisma hack came the same day the ministry also launched a criminal investigation into whether former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie YovanovitchMarie YovanovitchLev Parnas implicates Rick Perry, says Giuliani had him pressure Ukraine to announce Biden probe Parnas says he told Trump Yovanovitch was badmouthing him.

A White House spokesman said the two leaders discussed protests in Iran, where citizens have flooded the streets to express frustration with leaders in Tehran, as well as the Iranians shooting down a Ukrainian International Airlines passenger jet.

The U.S. and Iran appeared to step back last week from the brink of military conflict, tamping down tensions that spiked after Trump approved a strike that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Tehran responded to Soleimani’s death by firing missiles at Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops, but there were no casualties.

A short time later, the Ukrainian aircraft was shot down shortly after it departed an airport in Tehran, killing 176 people on board. After originally denying responsibility, Iran admitted that it unintentionally shot down the Ukrainian aircraft.

Trump and Erdoğan also discussed conflicts in Libya and Syria, according to the White House. Both countries are grappling with faltering ceasefires.

Trump last year announced the U.S. would pull troops out of northern Syria, paving the way for a Turkish offensive in the region that targeted the American-allied Kurdish forces that Ankara considers terrorists.

The former Borussia Dortmund striker enjoyed a productive career in Europe, but never hit the heights of a fellow countryman starring at Anfield

Mohamed Zidan was once the face of Egyptian football and says Jurgen Klopp told him “100 times” at Borussia Dortmund that he was a better player than Mohamed Salah.

The former frontman was thought to have the potential to scale such heights.

He enjoyed a productive career in Europe, representing the likes of Midtylland, Mainz, Hamburg and Dortmund.

Zidan also took in 44 appearances for his country and was often the go-to man for the Pharaohs.

Salah now shoulders that responsibility, having become a global star while on the books at Liverpool, but was not always held in such high regard.

Klopp is benefitting from his considerable talent at present, but he was also a big fan of another Egyptian during his days in charge of Dortmund.

Zidan told ON Sport: “Klopp told me that I was better than Salah 100 hundred times but I needed to be more professional.

“Klopp said to me that I have a great talent and skills but I need to concentrate more. If I did this I could be one of the best players in the world”.

That was always the issue for Zidan, who concedes that he lacked the commitment of Salah and modern day icons such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

He added: “I had to be more dedicated to training and be more professional to reach Salah’s level in the past.

“Salah is more professional than me and more dedicated to football like Ronaldo and Messi.”

While Zidan may not have savoured the success being enjoyed by Salah, he is delighted to see a fellow countryman thriving on the grandest of stages.

He told Goal back in November 2018: “He’s representing Egyptians very well in England and Liverpool. He’s doing very good and we all support him always.

“We all have his back and we always pray for him and always follow him because he is representing us as Egyptians and as Arabs.

“He’s a good example, as we were before – me and other Egyptian colleagues who played in Europe, like Mido, Ahmed Hassan and many other players who played in top leagues.

“Now Mo Salah is continuing the legacy of Egyptian players in Europe to make the Egyptian kids keep dreaming, because he’s one of us.

“Today is Mo Salah time, it is going very well, he is giving hope to all Egyptians and then in the future it will be other kids from Egypt that will play in Europe.”

En peu de temps, Christine and the Queens s’est hissée au rang d’artiste tendance en France. Hier, la Nantaise a fait la une du Times, ce journal so british.

Elles ne sont pas nombreuses les Françaises de tout juste 27 ans à pouvoir se vanter d’avoir fait la une du Times. Héloïse Letissier, elle, peut le dire sans rougir. Vendredi, la Nantaise a vu sa photo étalée en une du cahier culture du célèbre quotidien britannique. En titre? “Je t’aime” (en français dans le texte) suivi de ces quelques mots: “comment la pop française est enfin devenue cool”. Après avoir rempli les zéniths, réveillé les festivals et collaboré avec de célèbres artistes, Christine and the Queens met aujourd’hui le public britannique dans sa poche.

L’article de deux pages, publié hier dans le média britannique, Héloïse le doit en partie à une performance de trois minutes, réalisée en décembre dernier sur la scène de l’Olympia. Ce soir-là, la chanteuse est invitée à rejoindre la célèbre Madonna sur les planches pour quelques instants. Un coup de projecteur qui place l’artiste francophone sur la carte des auditeurs étrangers. Décrite comme une “nymphe androgyne, pansexuelle et porteuse de costumes” par le Times, Christine and the Queens revient avec le journal sur les jours qui ont précédé ce duo avec Madonna. Elle se souvient avoir reçu un message de l’entourage de la star américaine. “Vous serez sur scène durant trois minutes et vous recevrez une fessée. Acceptez-vous?”. Après une courte hésitation, la Française accepte. “Je me suis demandé: ‘est ce que j’ai envie d’être fessée en direct par Madonna?’, et je me suis dit ‘allez, on le fait!’ “. Pari gagnant.

Christine and the Queens est donc la chanteuse du moment. Son questionnement perpétuel sur le sexe, l’amour et la mort lui confère une certaine aura, pourtant, à en croire son interview avec le média britannique, l’artiste doute de sa popularité. Elle se sait adorée par des milliers de fans mais craint de les rencontrer. “Le personnage de Christine est bien représenté sur scène mais si vous me croisez dans la rue, vous verrez une version plus faible de moi-même. J’ai toujours peur que les fans soient déçus.” Peu de chance que cela arrive tant que la maîtrise musicale demeure. Mais s’il avait fallu faire autre chose de sa vie? “J’aurais dû travailler pour la Nasa, ou quelque chose comme ça, pour essayer de percer le mystère de la mort.” Tout un programme.

Lady Gaga a ému. Sur la scène des Oscars, la chanteuse a interprété une chanson en hommage aux victimes d’abus sexuels – provoquant les pleurs dans l’assemblée.

« Kesha, je penserai à toi ce soir. Le combat n’est pas terminé, nous serons à tes côtés jusqu’à ce que tu sois libre de vivre une vie heureuse. Tout le monde y a droit. » Avant de monter sur la scène de la cérémonie des Oscar, Lady Gaga a adressé un mot à Kesha, la chanteuse qui accuse son producteur de l’avoir violée. L’interprète de Poker Faceallait chanter ce soir là Til it happens to you, un morceau issu de la bande originale du documentaire The Hunting Ground, consacré aux victimes d’agressions sexuelles.

La performance de Lady Gaga a certainement été le moment le plus fort en émotion des Oscars 2016. Le final a notamment fait monter les larmes aux yeux de Kate Winslet et Rachel McAdams : cinquante victimes d’agressions sexuelles sur des campus américains sont montées sur scène et ont entouré Lady Gaga. Toutes avaient des inscriptions sur les bras : « Ça m’est arrivé », « Je suis indestructible » et « Ce n’est pas de ta faute ». « Merci d’avoir été avec moi sur scène, a déclaré la chanteuse. Merci pour tout ce que vous avez dit, merci d’avoir écouté mon histoire et d’avoir partagé la vôtre. Je ne l’oublierai jamais. Cinquante survivants, courageux et plein de détermination. »

« J’ai jamais cru que quelqu’un arriverait à m’aimer, parce que j’avais l’impression que mon corps avait été gâché par mon agresseur », a confié par la suite Lady Gaga sur son compte Instagram, en publiant une photo où elle embrasse son compagnon Taylor Kinney. « Mais Taylor aime la survivante qui est en moi. Il est resté à mes côtés toute la nuit, fier et sans aucune honte. C’est ça, un vrai mec. »

Mauvaise nouvelle pour les fans de l’émission Touche pas à mon poste. Hier soir, à la surprise générale, le chroniqueur Bertrand Chameroy a annoncé qu’il souhaitait « prendre du recul ». Il quitte l’émission et s’est justifié en direct. Juste après l’article à charge de Society, cette décision étonne et accentue le malaise autour de l’émission phare de D8.

Etre chroniqueur dans l’émission Touche pas à mon poste est un travail difficile à vivre. Alors que le show quotidien de D8 cartonne autant qu’il divise, l’un des membres de l’équipe de Cyril Hanouna semble mal vivre cette pression médiatique et a annoncé, hier, en pleine émission, qu’il quittait « provisoirement » ses collègues. Il explique qu’il a besoin de prendre du repos.

L’affaire du harcèlement du journaliste de Canal + Julien Cazare, l’affaire des cadeaux aux téléspectateurs jamais envoyés, et surtout le dernier article du magazine Society, qui dénonce les coulisses de l’émission, ont eu raison de sa motivation. Bertrand Chameroy, le beau gosse le plus jeune de l’équipe, ne sera plus l’un des chroniqueurs de la bande de Cyril Hanouna. Provisoirement affirme l’animateur de TPMP, à moins que ce ne soit définitif, surtout si Bertrand Chameroy est la “taupe”, ce chroniqueur qui, tout en restant anonyme, a donné des informations sensibles aux journalistes de Society. Hier soir, il s’est expliqué en déclarant:

« L’émission cartonne, donc il y a forcément beaucoup d’articles. Je suis ravi que l’émission cartonne et c’est très bien pour toutes les personnes qui la font, mais moi j’ai du mal, pour mon cas personnel, quand on dit un mot de travers, qu’il y ait douze articles derrière. Il y en a qui vivent très bien la surmédiatisation qui est due au succès de l’émission, ce n’est pas mon cas. Aujourd’hui je ressens le besoin de prendre du recul par rapport à tout ça »

Le jeune homme se fait même plus précis sur son état moral du moment. « Quand on a 27 ans, qu’on pense avoir les épaules pour lire tout ce qui se dit sur les réseaux sociaux, ou dans la presse, et qu’on ne les a pas, on le vit plus ou moins bien, et je ne le vis pas bien. Je ressens moins de plaisir quand je fais les chroniques, je me sens moins à l’aise. »

Une décision que semble accepter l’animateur vedette de D8 et d’Europe 1. Prévenu juste avant l’émission par le principal intéressé, il a insisté sur l’aspect « provisoire » de la décision de Bertrand Chameroy. Appuyant sur le jeune âge du chroniqueur, et semblant avoir de l’empathie pour ses troubles, Cyril Hanouna, auquel certains téléspectateurs reprochent d’avoir trop dirigé la déclaration de son chroniqueur et de lui avoir beaucoup coupé la parole, est sorti de cette séquence par une pirouette humoristique. « Vous partez en vacances, payées par … la production! Vous partirez donc en car, dès demain, direction un camping au Cap d’Agde. Ramenez-nous des belles choses! » s’est-il exclamé.

Sur les réseaux sociaux, la majorité des internautes semblent voir dans ces « vacances temporaires » une vraie sanction contre Bertrand Chameroy, plutôt qu’une décision personnelle prise par le chroniqueur. A noter qu’en plateau et sur Twitter, excepté Thierry Moreau, aucun de ses collègues ne l’a soutenu. Le malaise s’installe autour de Touche pas à mon poste.

Récompensé par un César pour son rôle d’éducateur dans La tête haute, d’Emmanuelle Bercot, avec qui il est d’ailleurs de nouveau en tournage, l’acteur qui se retrouve aujourd’hui dans la rubrique faits divers est, à la ville, un homme sincère. Entre ombres et lumière.

Interpellé vendredi 11 mars pour avoir renversé une femme, à Paris, alors qu’il effectuait une marche arrière, Benoît Magimel sera jugé le 12 avril pour blessures involontaires, délit de fuite et usage de stupéfiants. L’acteur aurait reconnu « globalement les faits », mais vivement contesté certaines parties, dont celle de tentative de fuite. Son avocat, Maître Garbini, crie au délit de faciès («Trois nuits et trois jours de garde à vue dans un dossier comme celui-ci, c’est incompréhensible ! Monsieur Magimel est un comédien connu. Il n’a pas à avoir de privilèges mais, en revanche, sa célébrité ne doit pas lui conférer moins de droits que n’importe quel individu »). Laissons l’enquête et la justice faire leur travail. Pour revenir sur le petit Momo de La vie est un long fleuve tranquille, devenu l’un des meilleurs comédiens français (son rôle dans La pianiste lui a valu notamment le Prix d’interprétation, à Cannes), et aussi l’un des plus sensibles.

Ces blessures avec lesquelles il faut composer
Rencontré au moment de la sortie de La tête haute, on évoquait avec lui son enfance…« J’ai eu beaucoup de liberté, nous racontait-il. Mes parents se sont séparés quand j’étais jeune, ma mère, qui était infirmière, travaillait beaucoup. » A propos de l’absence de père, il confiait : « J’ai réglé tout ça depuis longtemps ! A un moment, il faut savoir dire au revoir au gamin qu’on a été. La reconnaissance du père, je l’ai eue grâce au cinéma. Je ne sais pas comment l’expliquer, mais le cinéma a tout de suite calmé ou réparé ça. Quant aux blessures, on ne les règle pas, mais on les porte, on fait avec, on sait faire avec, surtout. ».

Le cinéma comme une évidence
Ce qui la conduit vers ce métier, peut-être une fibre artistique héritée d’un grand-père qu’il a cependant peu connu. « C’était un enfant de l’Assistance publique, il a fait une carrière militaire, mais il était attiré par les arts, l’opérette. J’ai le souvenir de lui, à soixante-dix ans passés, déguisé en tutu pour un mariage. Et le cinéma, c’est ça, l’art du déguisement. D’ailleurs, quand j’ai commencé dans des cours de théâtre, au collège, j’aimais surtout faire le clown, amuser la galerie. Le destin a voulu qu’on m’offre des rôles plus graves. Je pense que c’est dû au fait que je me suis beaucoup protégé. »

Une belle gueule comme ça
Interrogé sur la séduction au masculin, il citait : Delon. « On a tous besoin de s’identifier et souvent par le biais du parcours social. J’ai donc tendance à aller vers des gens qui ont eu un parcours semblable au mien, les autodidactes, les gens qui entrent dans ce métier par accident –même s’il n’y a pas de hasard. Belmondo, que j’adore aussi, était fils de sculpteur, Delon est fils de boucher et a fait la guerre d’Indochine. Forcément, ils ne sont pas marrants de la même façon. Belmondo a toujours été très à l’aise, Delon était sur ses gardes, plus félin, moins acquis, mais un instinct supérieur. Je suis très loin de m’identifier à lui, mais il est plus lisible pour moi. »

Ce qui le tient droit
« J’ai toujours vu ma mère aider les gens. Parfois même trop, parce que personne ne peut sauver quelqu’un qui ne le décide pas par lui-même, il y a des limites, mais tendre la main, c’est important pour moi. Même si on se trompe. Même si on a le sentiment de se faire avoir, peu importe, il faut faire à son échelle ce qu’on peut. En fait, c’est un travail de devenir quelqu’un de bien. S’il est une quête, c’est celle-là. S’améliorer. J’aime la gentillesse, la générosité. Par dessus tout. Ce sont des qualités majeures, qui m’impressionnent. »
