PARIS — The United States government must remove tariffs imposed on European products such as French wine, said French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire on Friday.
Le Maire was commenting after European planemaker Airbus made what Airbus described as a final step aimed at halting a transatlantic trade war over billions of dollars of aircraft subsidies.

Trois choses, une oeuvre originale composée par Pauline Marchand sur un texte de Fernando Sabino.
TROIS CHOSES
De tout, il resta trois choses :
la certitude que tout était en train de commencer,
la certitude qu’il fallait continuer,
la certitude que cela serait interrompu
avant que d’être terminé.
Faire de l’interruption un nouveau chemin,
faire de la chute un pas de danse,
faire de la peur un escalier,
du rêve, un pont,
de la recherche…
une rencontre.
Fernando Sabino, poète brésilien extrait de “O encontro marcado” (Le rendez-vous convenu)
Les chants de loin : un projet artistique composé de 4 créations originales imaginé par la Maîtrise de Radio France.
Malgré la fin du confinement, l’heure des retrouvailles n’a pas encore sonné pour les apprentis musiciens de la Maîtrise. Aussi, sous l’impulsion et la coordination artistique de Morgan Jourdain, directeur adjoint de la Maîtrise de Radio France, l’idée s’est imposée de transformer les contraintes du confinement et de l’éloignement pour promouvoir le vivant : continuer à créer, pratiquer et diffuser la musique, en s’appuyant d’une part sur les grandes capacités d’adaptation des élèves de la Maîtrise, mais également sur les compétences des équipes techniques de Radio France et du porte-voix que constituent le numérique et les réseaux sociaux.
Plusieurs compositeurs actuels – Pauline Marchand – Vincent Manac’h – Pierre Cholley et Joséphine Stephenson – ont été sollicités afin d’écrire pendant cette période inédite une œuvre nouvelle.
À ces musiques originales les membres de la Maîtrise ont prêté leur voix, et aux chorégraphies de Martin Grandperret, leur visage et leur corps, sans oublier la complicité du pianiste Bruno Perbost.

Friends, I’m a traditionalist—I stand with Christian revelation and the entirety of the Church’s teaching, from the Council of Jerusalem through Nicaea, Chalcedon, and Trent. Since the Church’s tradition includes the Second Vatican Council, it’s therefore impossible to repudiate Vatican II and claim to be a faithful traditionalist. There’s nothing traditional about rejecting an ecumenical council. Watch this video for more:

Interrupting the song of the cicadas under the high plane trees agitated by the wind, it is, for the moment, the voice of Rosemary Standley (ex-Moriarty) and the cello of Dom La Nena who, with their project Birds on the Wire, embark the 340 spectators (maximum capacity) in the great mixing of genres, from Gilberto Gil to Pete Seeger, from Atahualpa Yupanqui to Gabriel Fauré.
With its theme “A Summer in Paris,” the Films on the Green offered a striking portrait of the City of Lights, its urban landscape, and its cultural diversity. A selection of classic, New Wave, and contemporary films by directors such as Agnès Varda, Céline Sciamma and Luc Besson, showcased the city’s aesthetic, cultural, and cinematic history from dramatically unconventional angles. Discover stories of love, adolescence, female identity, and urban life in Paris and its surrounding suburbs!

Girlhood (Bande de filles)
Directed by Céline Sciamma, 2014, 1h52
Girlhood, which opened the Directors’ Fortnight section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, is Céline Sciamma’s third feature film (Water Lilies, Tomboy) to deal with female adolescence and identity.
Fed up with her abusive family situation, lack of school prospects and the “boys’ law” in the neighborhood, Marieme (Karidja Touré) starts a new life after meeting a group of three free-spirited girls. She changes her name, her style, drops out of school and starts stealing to be accepted into the gang. When her home situation becomes unbearable, Marieme seeks solace in an older man who promises her money and protection. Realizing this sort of lifestyle will never result in the freedom and independence she truly desires; she finally decides to take matters into her own hands.

The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire)
Directed by Yves Robert, PG, 1972, 1h30
A frothy French farce, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is a classic madcap comedy about espionage, surveillance, and mistaken identity. When Francois (Pierre Richard), an unsuspecting violinist, is misidentified as a superspy by national intelligence, outrageous antics ensue. As everyone (including Mireille Darc, playing a knock-out henchwoman) falls over each other in their misguided attempts to discover the tall blond man’s secrets, his best friend complicates matters even further when he overhears a salacious recording of Francois with his wife. The whole merry-go-round comes crashing to a halt in one final showdown, pitting spy versus supposed spy with hilarious results. Elegantly filmed and accompanied by a memorable score, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe is one of the most seminal comedies of the 1970s.

Directed by Agnès Varda, 1962, 1h30
Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cleo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
