Nicole Richie : Radieuse pour visiter l’exposition de Giambattista Valli

Cette semaine encore, Paris tremble pour sa Fashion Week ! Celle consacrée à la Haute Couture a commencé dimanche 30 juin 2019 et s’achèvera ce mercredi 3 juillet. Lundi, Nicole Richie en a retrouvé la ferveur en découvrant l’exposition de Giambattista Valli…

Plutôt que de présenter sa nouvelle collection au cours d’un défilé, Giambattista Valli a installé une exposition à l’hôtel Shangri-La, Avenue d’Iéna dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris. Le couturier italien a également convié une poignée de chanceuses célébrités à en découvrir le contenu, lundi 1er juillet 2019. Nicole Richie a répondu favorablement à l’invitation. Naturellement habillée en Giambattista Valli, l’ex-star de télé-réalité s’est laissée porter par les oeuvres d’art de Giambattista Valli, exposés sur des mannequins.

Ainsi, Nicole Richie a prolongé son marathon mode estival, entamé début juin au défilé Saint Laurent à Malibu, et poursuivi à celui de Miu Miu, le samedi 29 juin. Au Shangri-La, la star de 37 ans a été rejoint par l’actrice Nikki Reed, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, les soeurs Chiara et Valentina Ferragni, et enfin par la redoutable Anna Wintour.

La Fashion Week parisienne, édition Haute Couture, a commencé dimanche 30 juin 2019, une semaine après la fin de la Fashion Week masculine.

Spain welcomes vaccinated Americans starting June 7

Spain is welcoming vaccinated Americans to the country starting June 7, not waiting for the European Union to set its own date for reopening borders that were closed for the coronavirus pandemic.

Americans will need to prove they are two weeks past their second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or two weeks past the single shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the Tourist Office of Spain told USA Today on Friday.

Children who are not vaccinated will be allowed as long as they are traveling with vaccinated adults.

Those above the age of 6 will need a negative COVID-19 test before entering the country.

The EU has told its members they should allow vaccinated individuals to cross their borders, though no eurozone date for reopening has been set.

United looks forward to welcoming back customers on over 30 daily flights to 16 destinations in Europe this summer, including service between New York/Newark and Barcelona and Madrid,” United Airlines said after Spain’s announcement on Friday.

The announcement comes almost a week after Greece said it would be opening to vaccinated individuals. Greece will also allow unvaccinated individuals if they can provide a negative COVID-19 test.

Israel-Hamas ceasefire could come as soon as Friday: report

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could come as soon as Friday, people involved in the discussions told The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. and foreign officials told the newspaper that Egyptian officials have made progress in their negotiations with Hamas’ leadership.

The Biden administration believes a cease-fire could come this week, a U.S. official told the newspaper, provided that unforeseen clashes don’t disrupt discussions.

The U.S., Egypt, Qatar and several other European nations have been working to get Israeli and Hamas leaders in Gaza to end violence that has escalated in the last week, according to the Journal.

A U.S. official told the Journal that the only issue is timing. There are also concerns that Islamic Jihad, a militant group fighting alongside Hamas, could provoke the situation further after the sides agree in principle to a cease-fire.

The Hill has reached out to The White House for comment.

The move comes amid pressure on Israel and Hamas to end fighting amid dire circumstances. The latest round of conflict had been escalating for nearly one month between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem before erupting into full on war on May 10 between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Over 227 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

After the call, Netanyahu said he was determined “to continue this operation until its objective is achieved: to restore the calm and security to you, citizens of Israel.”

Texas governor bans local governments, schools from requiring face masks

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday issued an executive order banning local governments and schools from requiring face masks. 

Local governments must abolish their mask mandates by May 21, and schools must do so by June 4, according to the executive order.

“The Lone Star state continues to defeat COVID-19 through the use of widely-available vaccines, antibody therapeutic drugs, and safe practices utilized by Texans in our communities,” Abbott said in a press release. “Texans, not government, should decide their best health practices, which is why masks will not be mandated by public school districts or government entities.”

Local governments that continue to enforce mask mandates after May 21 could be fined up to $1,000, the press release noted. 

“We can continue to mitigate COVID-19 while defending Texans’ liberty to choose whether or not they mask up,” Abbott added in his statement.

Texas was the first state to lift its mask mandate and capacity restrictions in March, drawing backlash from many critics. 

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared new guidance that lifts mask mandates and social distancing requirements for people who are fully vaccinated.   

G-7 countries commit to restrict international coal funding

Environment and climate leaders from Group of Seven (G-7) countries, made up of several advanced economies, said Friday that they will aim to put restrictions on funding for international power produced from coal. 

“Recognising that continued global investment in unabated coal power generation is incompatible with keeping 1.5°C, we stress that international investments in unabated coal must stop now and commit to take concrete steps towards an absolute end to new direct government support for unabated international thermal coal power generation by the end of 2021,” the officials said in a joint policy paper.

The officials from the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan also reaffirmed their country’s 2016 commitment to phase out “inefficient” fossil fuel subsidies by 2025.

In 2013, then-President Obama moved to restrict U.S. financing of coal production abroad. 

An analysis from the Natural Resources Defense Council showed that public institutions in Japan were among the largest financers of overseas coal projects as of 2016, though the country put additional restrictions on such financing last year.

“I’m proud to endorse the G7 Climate and Environment Ministers Statement, which includes concrete steps to combat the urgent threat of the climate crisis while lifting up vulnerable communities across the world,” Regan said. 

The countries also said they would “champion” goals, including conserving or protecting at least 30 percent of global land and ocean by 2030 in an attempt to mitigate biodiversity loss and climate change.

Israel launches more airstrikes after Biden calls for de-escalation

Israeli airstrikes against Gaza City resumed Thursday after an eight-hour pause, according to local news sources, one day after President BidenJoe BidenIsrael-Hamas ceasefire could come as soon as Friday: report US opposes UN resolution calling on Israel-Gaza ceasefire Parents of 54 migrant children found after separation under Trump administration MORE said he expected to see a “significant de-escalation” in violence in the region.

Reuters reported that the airstrikes killed one woman and wounded four children. One of children told the news service they were gathered on the couch in their home when an Israeli strike collapsed part of the building.

“We were sitting on the sofa when a missile landed. There was heavy smoke and we couldn’t see anything,” 14-year-old Amira Esleem said.

The new airstrikes comes amid stepped-up efforts by the Biden administration for a ceasefire amid mounting pressure from Democrats to act in the face of a possible humanitarian disaster. Some progressives are moving forward with a resolution to block an announced sale of arms to Israel in response to the violence.

On Wednesday, Biden urged a “significant de-escalation” in the Israel-Gaza conflict during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuBenjamin (Bibi) NetanyahuMORE.

“The two leaders had a detailed discussion on the state of events in Gaza, Israel’s progress in degrading the capabilities of Hamas and other terrorist elements, and ongoing diplomatic efforts by regional governments and the United States,” the White House said Wednesday. “The President conveyed to the Prime Minister that he expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire.”

More than 200 Palestinians, including dozens of children and other non-combatants, have died since the beginning of the conflict, while roughly a dozen Israeli citizens have died from Hamas rocket fire.

 

Senate GOP warns of 'vast differences' with White House on infrastructure

Senate Republicans said there are “vast differences” between them and senior White House officials over how much to spend on a new infrastructure package and how to pay for it, leaving little hope of a bipartisan deal anytime soon.

That offer fell flat with Capito and other Republicans.

“There continue to be vast differences between the White House and Senate Republicans when it comes to the definition of infrastructure, the magnitude of proposed spending, and how to pay for it,” said Kelley Moore, a spokeswoman for Capito.

“Based on today’s meeting, the groups seem further apart after two meetings with White House staff than they were after one meeting with President Biden,” the aide added.

This is not the time for half-measures, half-spending or foot-dragging,” Markey said in a statement. “Let’s not waste time trading the necessary scope and scale of this critical infrastructure package for Congressional Republican votes that have yet to and will never materialize.”

A White House memo sent to Capito on Friday estimated that the proposal she submitted to administration officials this week would increase “new” infrastructure investment by only $50 billion.

The Biden-Harris team estimated that Capito’s road map “would increase new investment, above current levels Congress has traditionally funded, from about $175 billion to $225 billion.”

“We recognize that still leaves us far apart,” the memo stated. “However, in service of trying to advance these negotiations, the President has asked us to respond with changes to his American jobs plan.

The proposed White House changes included addressing manufacturing, research and development and supply chain investments separately, modifying investment in broadband, and providing $27 billion for an infrastructure financing facility to leverage private capital for energy infrastructure projects. 

Senators express bipartisan interest in reviving infrastructure financing tool

Senators on both sides of the aisle on Tuesday said they are interested in reviving an Obama-era bond program to help finance infrastructure projects.

Both Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron WydenRonald (Ron) Lee WydenSenators express bipartisan interest in reviving infrastructure financing tool Democrats urge DOJ to stop searching journalists’ phone records Senators shed masks after CDC lifts mandate MORE (D-Ore.) and ranking member Mike CrapoMichael (Mike) Dean CrapoSenators express bipartisan interest in reviving infrastructure financing tool Bottom line Senate GOP to give Biden infrastructure counteroffer next week MORE (R-Idaho) expressed interest in renewing the Build America Bond (BAB) program, which was created by former President Obama’s 2009 stimulus law. Their comments come as lawmakers and the Biden administration debate how to pay for infrastructure spending.

“This is an approach that Congress has to return to because it works,” Wyden said at a Finance Committee hearing.

Crapo said a short time later that he agreed with Wyden’s comments about the program.

“They can be a significant way of incentivizing private capital into our infrastructure,” he said.

Under the BAB program, state and local governments could issue taxable bonds in 2009 and 2010 and receive a subsidy from the federal government for a portion of their interest costs. The program was popular, with about $180 billion of bonds issued, but was not renewed when it expired.

Some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over the years have expressed interest in reviving the program. They see it as a way to attract private capital in infrastructure and compliment direct federal funding for transportation projects.

Lawmakers are now renewing their calls to revive the BAB program as Republicans and Democrats are divided on other options for financing and funding infrastructure investments.

Biden has proposed paying for his $2.25 trillion infrastructure plan through corporate tax increases, but Republican lawmakers view raising corporate taxes as a non-starter. Republicans have expressed interest in paying for infrastructure spending through user fees, but Democrats argue that such fees would increase tax burdens for the middle class.

Top Arizona elections official says voting machines turned over to GOP recount should be replaced

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) on Thursday advised Maricopa County officials to replace all voting machines that were turned over to the private contractor carrying out an audit of the 2020 presidential election.

The Washington Post reports that Hobbs cited “grave concerns regarding the security and integrity” of the machines and their suitability for future elections. In a letter obtained by the Post, Hobbs, Arizona’s chief elections officer, expressed concerns regarding the machines that were recently returned by Cyber Ninjas, the firm which has had no prior experience in auditing elections.

Cyber Ninja chief executive Doug Logan was found to have spread conspiracy theories regarding the election in Arizona in tweets that have since been deleted, which raised concerns among critics of the GOP-supported audit.

“I have grave concerns regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given that the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas’ control,” Hobbs wrote in her letter.

“Indeed, such loss of custody constitutes a cyber incident to critical infrastructure—an event that could jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital information or information systems,” Hobbs continued. 

“Therefore, my Office consulted with election technology and security experts, including at the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, regarding the appropriate next steps, and each unanimously advised that once election officials lose custody and control over voting systems and components, those devices should not be reused in future elections.”

A spokesperson for the Maricopa County elections department told the Post in a statement that they were working on the next steps to ensure that only certified equipment was used in the county.

“We will not use any of the returned tabulation equipment unless the county, state and vendor are confident that there is no malicious hardware or software installed on the devices,” the spokesperson said.

In early May, a Department of Justice (DOJ) official warned Arizona Senate President Karen Fann (R) that the audit could be a violation of civil rights laws.

Principal deputy assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s civil rights division Pamela Karlan told Fann in a letter that handing election material over to Cyber Ninjas could be a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Karlan wrote there are “at least issues of potential non-compliance with federal laws enforced by the Department,” apart from the possible civil rights violations.
