Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), while introducing House managers for the impeachment trial of President Trump in the Senate, cautions, “What is at stake here is the Constitution of the United States.”

The Senate will begin work ahead of President Trump’s impeachment trial, with hints that more evidence may be on the way.

Prepping for Trump’s Trial

Pretrial proceedings are expected to get underway in the Senate today after the House transmitted two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

Yet even before today’s swearing-in ceremonies could begin, freshly appointed House managers were predicting that newly released evidence against Trump — with more possibly to come — would complicate Republican hopes of reaching a speedy conclusion.

In an interview on MSNBC, Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani said, “President Trump knew exactly what was going on. He was aware of all my movements. I wouldn’t do anything without the consent of Rudy Giuliani, or the president.”

Arguments from House managers and White House lawyers could begin as soon as Tuesday, after senators vote to establish a set of rules and procedures.

One aspect still to be determined: how much media access will be granted. Broadcast and cable TV networks have issued a joint request to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell requesting that they be able to use C-SPAN cameras for coverage, rather than the current plan for a video feed with a restricted view of the floor debates.

A Road to Safety, Paved With Hard Choices

The rich left by plane and the middle class left by bus. But Venezuela’s poor were left with few options as the economy collapsed, food grew scarce and electricity cut out. So they walked. Each day, an estimated 5,000 people flee in one of the biggest mass migrations in modern history.

The caminantes include women, children and the elderly, and they travel a brutal path to Bucaramanga, Colombia, and beyond for jobs, food and medicine. The Times spent five days documenting their stories. One migrant said: “We either try to make it to another country or we die.”

On this day in 1929, Paramount was supposed to be celebrating a brand new movie studio, built just for “talkies.” But the cutting-edge space for making films with sound went up in flames before its grand opening.

According to The Times, the studio spent $450,000 to build it (That’s about $6.76 million in 2019 money). When faulty electrical work lit flames, the new soundproof material “caused dense smoke and sparks to rise in a huge column over the studios.” Five firemen and three civilian workers were injured battling the blaze as crowds watched from Melrose Avenue.

MOSCOW — 

President Vladimir Putin on Thursday fast-tracked work on constitutional changes that could keep him in power well past the end of his term in 2024 while lawmakers quickly sealed his choice for new prime minister.

Speaking to a working group created to draft constitutional changes, Putin cast his proposals as a way to strengthen parliament and to bolster democracy. Kremlin critics described the proposed changes as an attempt by Putin to secure his rule for life.

The Russian leader proposed a set of sweeping amendments to the country’s constitution in Wednesday’s state of the nation address. Hours later, he fired Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who was prime minister for eight years, and named tax chief Mikhail Mishustin to succeed him.

The Kremlin-controlled lower house, the State Duma, quickly approved Mishustin by a unanimous vote on Thursday.

The reshuffle has shaken Russia’s political elites, who were left wildly speculating about Putin’s intentions and future Cabinet appointments.

A constitutional reform announced by Putin indicated he was working to carve out a new governing position for himself after his current six-year term ends in 2024, although it remains unclear what specific path he will take to stay in charge.

Putin has been in power longer than any other Russian or Soviet leader since Josef Stalin, who led from 1924 until his death in 1953. Under the current law, Putin must step down when his current term ends.

Alexei Navalny, Russia’s most prominent opposition leader, tweeted that Putin’s proposals reflected his intention to “rule until he dies.”

Putin suggested amending the constitution to allow lawmakers to name prime ministers and Cabinet members. The president currently holds the authority to make those appointments.

Speaking to the group tasked with drafting the amendments, Putin emphasized that they are intended to “strengthen the role of civil society, political parties and regions in making key decisions about the development of our state.”

“The role of parliament will grow, and the interaction between parliament and the Cabinet will strengthen,” he said.

At the same time, Putin argued that Russia would not remain stable if it were governed under a parliamentary system. The president should retain the right to dismiss the prime minister and Cabinet ministers, to name top defense and security officials, and to be in charge of the Russian military and law enforcement agencies, he said.

In his address, Putin said the constitution must also specify the authority of the State Council consisting of regional governors and top federal officials.

Observers speculated that Putin might try to stay in charge by shifting into the prime minister’s seat again after increasing the powers of parliament and the Cabinet and trimming presidential authority. Others suggested that he could also try to continue pulling the strings as head of the State Council.

Another potential option is a merger with neighboring Belarus that would create a new position of the head of a new unified state. That prospect that has been rejected by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an autocratic ruler who has been in power for more than quarter century.

Putin said that the constitutional changes need to be approved by a public vote, but officials said it doesn’t imply a referendum and it wasn’t immediately clear how it will be organized.

Upper house speaker Valentina Matviyenko said that lawmakers will rush work on amending the constitution and complete it in the spring.

Observers say that Putin’s move to modify the constitution four years before the end of his term may reflect the Kremlin’s concerns that his popularity may suffer amid stagnant living standards. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2021, but some speculated that an early vote could be held.

Putin has kept his longtime ally Medvedev in his close circle, appointing him to the newly created post of deputy head of the presidential Security Council.

Medvedev served as president in 2008-2012, keeping the seat warm for Putin who continued calling the shots as prime minister when he was forced to step down from the top job due to term limits. Under Medvedev, the constitution was amended to extend the presidential term from four years to six, although it limits the leader to two consecutive terms.

The 53-year-old Mishustin is a career bureaucrat who has worked as the tax chief for the past 10 years, keeping a low profile and showing no political ambitions. He has won a good reputation among experts who praised him for boosting tax collection and streamlining Russia’s rigid tax administration system.

Mishustin vowed to focus on social issues and improve living standards.

“We have all the necessary resources to fulfill the goals set by the president,” he told lawmakers before the vote. “The president wants the Cabinet to spearhead economic growth and help create new jobs. Raising real incomes is a priority for the government.”

DES MOINES — 

Democratic presidential candidates covered familiar ground on healthcare and foreign policy in their final debate before the crucial Iowa caucuses, but they found themselves on more charged territory as they discussed whether a woman could win the nation’s highest elected office.

Six top contenders met Tuesday in a historic recital hall at Drake University in Des Moines three weeks before Democrats in the state hold the first contest of the primary.

Expectations were high for a showdown between Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, following a recent report by CNN that Sanders told Warren in a 2018 private meeting that a woman couldn’t be elected president. The Sanders campaign called the allegation a lie.

Onstage, Sanders denied saying the remark, pointed to a three-decade-old video of him saying a woman could be president, and noted that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote against President Trump by 3 million votes.

“How could anybody in a million years not believe that a woman could become president of the United States?” Sanders said. “And let me be very clear. If any of the women on this stage or any of the men on the stage win the nomination — I hope that’s not the case; I hope it’s me — but if they do, I will do everything in my power to make sure that they are elected in order to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of our country.”

Warren disagreed with Sanders’ characterization but declined to needle him onstage. The two had long abided by a nonagression pact, but that has appeared strained as Iowa’s Feb. 3 caucuses near.

“Bernie is my friend and I am not here to try to fight with Bernie,” Warren said, before pivoting to a broader question of a woman’s electability and delivering the lines that got the biggest reaction of the night.

“I think the best way to talk about who can win is by looking at people’s winning record. So can a woman beat Donald Trump?” she said. “Look at the men on this stage: Collectively, they have lost 10 elections. The only people on this stage who have won every single election that they’ve been in are the women: Amy and me.”

Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota piled on with a boast of her own: “Every single person that I have beaten, my Republican opponents, have gotten out of politics for good. I think that sounds pretty good with the guy we have in the White House right now.”

Sanders and Warren gingerly sidestepped antagonistic confrontation elsewhere, even on topics such as trade policy on which the two progressive allies have shown rare disagreement.

Warren said she supports the new North American trade deal, calling the update championed by Trump a “modest improvement.”

“It will give some relief to our farmers. It will give some relief to our workers,” Warren said. “I believe we accept that relief, we try to help the people who need help, and we get up the next day and fight for a better trade deal.”

Sanders pushed back, arguing that the proposal “will set us back a number of years.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden chimed in with support for trade deals, framing them as necessary to prevent China from setting the rules for global trade.

“I don’t know that there’s any trade agreement that the senator would ever think made any sense,” Biden said of Sanders.

“Joe and I have a fundamental disagreement, in case you haven’t noticed,” Sanders said.

Sanders’ tweaking of Biden carried over to foreign policy, where he revisited his long-running critique of Biden’s vote as senator to authorize the 2003 Iraq war.

“Joe and I listened to what Dick Cheney and George Bush and [Donald] Rumsfeld had to say,” said Sanders, who was a House member at the time. “I thought they were lying. I didn’t believe them for a moment. I took to the floor. I did everything I could to prevent that war. Joe saw it differently.”

Biden acknowledged his 2003 vote was a “mistake” but countered, “The man who also argued against that war, Barack Obama, picked me to be his vice president. And once we were elected president … and vice president, he turned to me and asked me to end that war.”

International affairs took on new prominence in this debate — the seventh of the 2020 Democratic primary — spurred by heightened tensions with Iran after the U.S. killed a top Iranian general this month in Iraq.

With the backdrop of a potential new conflict, the candidates laid out competing visions on the use of American military power throughout the world.

Biden said he would emphasize international coalitions to help guard against national security threats. But he rejected the prospect of pulling out troops entirely across the world, saying diplomacy has its limitations in dealing with terrorist groups such as Islamic State.

“They’ve come to us before. They’ll come to us again,” he said. “So it’s a fundamental difference than negotiating with other countries. It’s fundamentally the requirement that we use our special forces in small numbers to coordinate with other countries to bring together coalitions.”

Warren, meanwhile, called for bringing combat troops home from abroad. Pointing to her post on the Senate Armed Services Committee, she said she’s heard a parade of generals claiming to have “turned a corner” in the 18-year war with Afghanistan.

“We’ve turned the corner so many times we’re going in circles in these regions,” Warren said. “This has got to stop. It’s not enough to say someday we’re going to get out.”

Democrats spent considerable time on healthcare, a frequent topic in past debates. Once again, the more liberal candidates called for abolishing the private insurance system and creating a “Medicare for all” system, and the moderates called for building on the Affordable Care Act.

Klobuchar, sounding slightly exasperated, said the argument was moot since there is not enough support in Congress, even among Democrats, to pass a sweeping overhaul.

“This debate isn’t real,” she said. “I was in Vegas the other day, and someone said don’t put your chips on a number … that isn’t even on the wheel.”

Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., said the healthcare system could be vastly improved by building on Obamacare rather than creating a new system that costs tens of billions of dollars, leading Warren to argue that he was calling for incremental change, not transformational change. Buttigieg countered that his plan was not small.

“We’ve got to move past a Washington mentality that suggests that the bigness of plans only consists of how many trillions of dollars they [cost], that the boldness of a plan only consists of how many Americans you can alienate,” he said.

Candidates were also asked about perceived vulnerabilities of their respective campaigns.

Tom Steyer, a billionaire who has spent more than $100 million of his own money on television advertising, was asked how voters would know anything about him except for his wealth.

He countered that he was a self-made man who built a multibillion-dollar global business and then walked away from it to focus on the environment.

Trump’s “going to run on the economy,” Steyer said. “Whoever beats Mr. Trump is going to have to beat him on the economy, and I have the experience and expertise to show he’s a fake and a fraud.”

Buttigieg was pressed over his lack of support from African American voters, a key Democratic constituency.

“The black voters who know me best are supporting me,” Buttigieg said.

“Now, the biggest mistake we could make is to take black votes for granted,” he continued. “And I never will. The reason I have the support I do is not because any voter thinks that I’m perfect. It’s because of the work that we have done facing some of the toughest issues that communities can … from poverty to justice and policing.”

The Warren-Sanders peace pact seemed to withstand the two-hour debate, but as candidates filed off the stage, there were signs it may have frayed. Warren did not shake Sanders’ outstretched hand after the meeting, and the two appeared to have a spirited conversation, instantly sparking speculation on social media and cable news about the state of their friendship.

Times staff writer Mason reported from Los Angeles and Mehta from Des Moines.

The tournament, which is being hosted by Cameroon, will now revert to its traditional slot, impacting on domestic leagues across Europe

Premier League clubs, including title-chasing Liverpool, face being without their African players for up to six weeks next season after it was confirmed the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations is to revert to its usual January slot.

The tournament, to be held in Cameroon, was initially scheduled for the summer but that falls during the country’s rainy season.

Following talks between Confederation of African Football (Caf) and the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), it has been decided that the tournament instead will now take place in January and February 2021 – right in the middle of Europe’s domestic football season.

The switch also means it will avoid clashing with FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup , due to take place in China in June 2021.

“We have reviewed the period of the competition as requested by the Cameroonian party due to unfavourable climatic conditions during the period initially slated,” said Caf’s deputy general secretary, Tony Baffoe.

“After listening to the various arguments and viewpoints, and in particular from the Cameroonian meteorological authorities, the coaches and players; the representatives of the AFCON organising committee, which received the mandate from Caf Executive Committee to take the decision, has granted this request.”

Runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool are likely to be one of the clubs most affected by the switch, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita all likely to play an important role for their respective countries at the tournament.

When considering pre-tournament training camps, one of more of the trio would be absent for around six weeks should Egypt, Senegal or Guinea reach the final, missing up to six league matches as well any domestic cup ties.

Arsenal will also be affected by the move with Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang and Nicolas Pepe likely to be called up by Gabon and Ivory Coast respectively. Champions Manchester City, meanwhile, would have to do without Riyad Mahrez should Algeria reach the tournament.

Wilfried Zaha, Serge Aurier and Wilfried Ndidi are among a number of other Premier League players who could be involved while Achraf Hakimi, Andre Onana and Franck Kessie may be forced to miss crucial matches for some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

The 2019 edition – hosted by Egypt and won by Algeria – was held in July, as CAF elected to move the tournament to fit in line with the northern hemisphere summer, meaning clubs in Europe’s major leagues were unaffected.

However, sweltering conditions in Egypt led to the decision to switch to tournament to June and July being questioned.

Cameroon was initially scheduled to host last year’s tournament, but was stripped of it in November 2018 due to inadequate infrastructure.

Les obsèques de Mohamed Ali auront lieu vendredi 10 juin dans sa ville natale de Louisville. De nombreuses célébrités devraient s’y rendre. Parmi elles, l’acteur Will Smith, qui avait incarné le boxeur à l’écran, fera partie des porteurs du cercueil.

Après s’être glissé dans sa peau, il l’accompagnera jusqu’à sa dernière demeure. Will Smith portera le cercueil de Mohamed Ali, vendredi prochain lors des obsèques du boxeur, à Louisville, dans le Kentucky. En 2001, Will Smith avait joué le rôle du célèbre boxeur, dans le film de Michael Mann Ali. Aux côtés de l’acteur américain se trouvera aussi le champion du monde de boxe Lennox Lewis. Les six autres porteurs seront des proches du disparu, a précisé la famille.

Les funérailles de la légende promettent une cérémonie sous le signe de la paix universelle et de la tolérance religieuse. Ses proches espèrent rassembler une foule immense. Bob Gunnell, le porte-parole de la famille du boxeur a déclaré qu’il « désirait que tout le monde puisse y assister ». Les billets pour assister à l’événement seront distribués gratuitement pendant la semaine. Vendredi, une grande procession devrait traverser Louisville, la ville natale de l’icône, pour envoyer un message d’unité et d’humanisme, selon la volonté de l’athlète.

Si Barack Obama n’a pas confirmé sa présence, l’ancien président Bill Clinton devrait assister à la cérémonie, et même prononcer une partie de l’oraison funèbre. L’acteur Billy Cristal a été invité à en faire de même. Mohamed Ali, qui s’était converti à l’islam en 1964, avait toujours mis en avant le pacifisme de sa religion. Il s’est éteint le 3 juin dernier, à l’âge de 74 ans, après avoir lutté des années durant contre la maladie de Parkinson. Le week-end dernier, ses filles sont revenues avec émotion sur les derniers moments de celui qu’on appelait « The Greatest ». Suite à la cérémonie ouverte au public, le boxeur sera enterré au cimetière de Louisville, dans l’intimité.

Adele a posé ses valises deux jours et deux jours seulement à Paris. C’était la semaine dernière, pour deux concerts à l’Accor Hotels Arena. Si certains fans ont eu la chance d’entendre les chansons de la Britannique, d’autres pourraient avoir une seconde chance. Adele projetterait en effet de revenir en France l’an prochain, dans une salle encore plus grande.

Les fans d’Adele avaient dû attendre plus de cinq ans avant de retrouver l’interprète d’Hello , ou Send my love, sur une scène parisienne. Une semaine après son passage éclair à l’Accor Hotels Arena, sa productrice, Jackie Lombard, la même qu’une autre diva bien connue des français, Céline Dion, a laissé entendre à nos confrères du Parisien, que la chanteuse multi-primée britannique pourrait cette fois revenir bien plus rapidement dans l’Hexagone.

«Adele ne pouvait pas s’arrêter plus longtemps en France. Mais elle devrait revenir l’année prochaine dans des lieux plus grands, en plein air.»

Car Adele a encore beaucoup de choses à raconter sur scène, elle qui aime par dessus tout communier avec ses nombreux fans. Alors, que ceux qui n’ont pas pu entendre les mots magiques – « Bonjour Paris. Mon français n’est pas bon, vous parlez un peu anglais? » – se rassurent. La chanteuse aux 100 millions d’albums vendus dans le monde reviendra en 2017, dans une salle encore plus grande que l’Accor Hotels Arena. Un compte Twitter des fans de la chanteuse s’en fait l’echo.

Cette annonce n’est pas encore confirmée, et pour cause, la salle de spectacle Arena 92 n’est pas encore sortie de terre. Elle devrait ouvrir en septembre 2017, et pourra accueillir jusqu’à 40 000 spectateurs, soit le double de l’ancien Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy. Adele serait donc l’une des premières superstars à se produire dans cette « super-salle ».

Le vigile algérien du Bataclan, Didi, vient d’être naturalisé Français et décoré par le ministre de l’Intérieur pour sa bravoure : il avait permis à plusieurs personnes de s’échapper de la salle de concert pendant l’attaque meurtrière du 13 novembre.

Récompensé pour son courage. Celui qu’on surnomme « Didi » vient d’être naturalisé Français, et de recevoir la médaille d’or de la sécurité intérieure des mains de Bernard Cazeneuve en personne. L’agent de sécurité algérien avait sauvé plusieurs personnes d’une mort certaine lors de l’attaque terroriste du Bataclan, le 13 novembre dernier.

« Cela me fait chaud au cœur, c’est le pays qui m’a vu grandir, je suis toujours senti citoyen comme tout le monde » a déclaré l’intéressé, qui souhaite pour le moment conserver l’anonymat. Il a raconté être arrivé en France à l’âge de six mois, et avoir passé la quasi totalité de sa vie en France. Il attendait de devenir Français depuis longtemps.

Après les attentats, une pétition signée par plus de 100 000 personnes demandait la naturalisation du héros du Bataclan. Pendant le massacre dans lequel 90 personnes ont perdu la vie, Didi n’avait pas hésité à retourner à l’intérieur de la salle de spectacle malgré les tirs, pour secourir les spectateurs encore cachés à l’intérieur. « J’ai fait preuve de sang-froid, a-t-il raconté. Un peu d’inconscience aussi. Quand je suis rentré pour la deuxième fois, je me suis vraiment mis en danger, j’ai dû m’allonger dans la fosse. »

« Ce qui me fait plaisir dans tout cela, c’est les remerciements de ceux que j’ai aidés. On s’appelle, on prend des nouvelles (…). Tourner la page reste compliqué, après une telle atrocité, il faut avancer étape par étape. La naissance de ma fille il y a dix jours m’a fait beaucoup de bien », a également déclaré le jeune homme lors de la cérémonie qui se tenait en son honneur Place Beauvau. Préférant sans doute substituer aux visions d’horreur, un souvenir heureux.

Il y a quelques mois, Stéphane Bern a participé aux Recettes Pompettes diffusées sur Youtube et présentées par Monsieur Poulpe. Le principe de l’émission est de faire une recette de cuisine tout en buvant cul-sec des verres de vodka pure. Après la diffusion de la vidéo sur Internet, le présentateur s’était retrouvé au cœur d’une polémique autour de l’alcoolisme.

Avec plus de deux millions de vues sut Youtube, le premier épisode des Recettes Pompettes avait cartonné sur le net. Durant douze minutes, on peut y apprendre une recette de cuisine et admirer un Stéphane Bern complètement saoul au fur et à mesure des étapes. Même si la vidéo a eu beaucoup de succès auprès des spectateurs, le ministère de la Santé, lui, avait condamné cette émission jugée dangereuse pour la jeunesse. Un débat autour de l’alcoolisme était ainsi né au centre duquel s’était retrouvé Stéphane Bern. Hier, l’animateur était invité sur le plateau du Grand Journal, il en a donc profité pour revenir sur les coulisses du tournage et sur la polémique vite retombée.

« J’en ai eu [des problèmes d’alcool] devant les caméras des Recettes Pompettes », avoue Stéphane Bern à Maïtena Biraben, provoquant l’hilarité du plateau. En effet, le présentateur qui ne boit jamais s’était vite retrouvé ivre sur le tournage de l’émission où il a bu une douzaine de verres d’alcool. Maïtena Biraben lui demande s’il a vraiment bu les douze verres apparaissant à l’écran ce à quoi il répond : »Je les ai bus en vrai, mais parfois c’était mélangé avec de l’eau il faut le dire. Il ne faut pas montrer ces images à la télévision, c’était fait pour internet mais comme la Ministre de la Santé a pensé que j’incitais les jeunes à boire, grâce à elle, on est à deux millions de vues quand même”. Ouf, aucun problème d’alcoolisme pour l’animateur de France 2 qui a même ironisé en ajoutant que le tourteau qu’il cuisinait était « plus vivant » que lui.

D’après le quotidien anglais, James Matthews aurait prévu d’inviter sa concubine à Saint Barth, en septembre prochain, avec certains de leurs amis. Un séjour est prévu dans l’hôtel de luxe que possèdent ses parents sur l’île, l‘Eden Rock, et c’est là qu’il aurait prévu de se mettre à genou pour lui demandera sa main. Un carton d’invitation pour ce séjour si particulier aurait même déjà été envoyé, avec la petite phrase « ne dites rien à Pippa ». Sa mère, Carole Middleton, serait elle aussi dans la confidence.

Pour révéler l’éventuel secret bien gardé, et préserver l’effet de surprise pour la jeune femme de 32 ans, on peut remercier le Daily Mail. Mais on peut aussi s’attendre à ce que cette annonce soit en fait un leurre. James Matthews préparerait alors un autre évènement pour faire sa demande en mariage, et prouverait à tout le monde qu’il est un expert du monde diabolique de la presse.

Les stars se sont donné rendez-vous au défilé haute couture de Christian Dior.

C’est traditionnellement le défilé le plus couru de la semaine de la haute couture. Et, l’édition automne-hiver 2016–2017 de ce 4 juillet n’a pas fait exception. Très rare aux premiers rangs des présentations mode, Céline Dion, à Paris pour une série de concerts, a surpris les photographes en descendant sa berline au numéro 30 de l’avenue Montaigne. La chanteuse canadienne, qui vit actuellement un renouveau de son look, arborait une tenue à la fois chic et rock : blazer long noir, slim en cuir, mains gantées et escarpins aux talons vertigineux. Lunettes XXL aux yeux, Céline Dion continue de sourire à la vie, malgré les dernières turbulences dans sa vie privée.

La griffe française, qui devrait voir pour la première fois une femme (Maria Grazia Chiuri) à la direction artistique, a aussi convié Johnny Hallyday, tout de noir vêtue, et son épouse Laetitia dans une tenue fluide et immaculée, ainsi que Marion Cotillard, égérie maison, toujours superbe d’une élégance rétro et baroque. Beauté rétro également pour Natalia Vodianova en robe en A, dans l’esprit New Look, avec une coupe de cheveux qui évoque Brigitte Bardot époque La Madrague.
