Days after tweeting about ‘Obamagate’ and accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of committing crimes, US president Donald Trump was asked to specify what those exactly were. He replied: ‘Obamagate, it’s been going on for a long time, it’s being going on from even before I got elected and it’s a disgrace that it’s gone on.’ He continued: ‘some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again.’ When he is again asked what the crime is, Trump says: ‘You know what the crime is.’

‘The Eddy’ On Netflix Shows The Gritty Jazzy Reality Of Paris
The first two episodes were directed by ‘La La Land’ director Damien Chazelle.
The new mini-series The Eddy has just been released on Netflix. The first two episodes were directed by La La Land director Damien Chazelle. This is no La La Land. The Eddy is certainly not a romance told through musical dancing numbers. It is a series that aspires to be gritty and true to Parisian living, without falling into the stereotypical postcard image of the city of lights.
The Eddy begins in a jazz club. A handheld camera follows a waiter as the house band performs on stage.

French Resistance hero Cécile Rol-Tanguy dies at 101
French Resistance member Cecile Rol-Tanguy, who risked her life during World War II by working to liberate Paris from Nazi occupation, has died. She was 101.
Rol-Tanguy died on Friday at her home in Monteaux, in central France, as Europe commemorated the 75th anniversary of the surrender of Nazi Germany to Allied forces. The cause of her death was not disclosed by French officials.
French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to Rol-Tanguy on Saturday, calling her a “freedom fighter.”
“It was just what you did,” Cécile Rol-Tanguy told the author Anne Sebba in an interview for The Times in 2014. “I never was afraid in my stomach. If you are, you can’t do anything. If you arrive at a Métro station with the Germans in front of you there’s no point in turning round as there are probably Germans behind you.”
From 1940 to 1944, Rol-Tanguy was a member of the French Resistance, working with her husband, Henri.
