Crash of EgyptAir: The presence of smoke aboard confirmed by a black box – 20minutes.fr

INVESTIGATION This reinforces the thesis of a technical incident …

The black boxes (which are in fact orange) flight Egyptair presented by the Egyptian authorities. – HO / MEDIA CENTER OF THE EGYPTIAN MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION / AFP

the black box has spoken. Repaired successfully in France on Monday, the memory card containing the recording of the flight parameters of the EgyptAir Airbus that crashed in the Mediterranean on May 19 confirmed that alerts indicating smoke were triggered before the crash, said Wednesday a commission of inquiry headed by the Egyptians.

“the recorded data confirm the alerts automated device communications (Acars) to smoke in the toilet “and to the front of the cabin, the commission said in a statement. This black box recorded flight data from the flight departure to Paris until he “disappears at altitude 37,000 feet (11,250 meters),” she added. This information could reinforce the hypothesis of a technical failure to explain the crash, after Egypt had initially raised the possibility of an attack.



“Signs of deterioration due to high temperatures”

the MS804 flight from Paris to Cairo crashed May 19 between Crete and the northern coast of Egypt after suddenly disappeared from radar screens, for reasons still undetermined, with 66 people board including 40 Egyptians -30 passengers and 10 crew-members and 15 French.

the day after the crash, the US media had reported the onset of a warning on a smoke of unknown origin the front of the cabin, followed by another reporting a failure of the computer managing the flight controls. “Parts of the front of the aircraft show signs of deterioration due to high temperature and soot,” said the commission of inquiry headed by the Egyptians.



Black boxes ” cuts “

the two black boxes of the Airbus A320, which should help determine the causes of the disaster, had been fished mid-June between Crete and the northern coast of Egypt. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), which concerns the conversations in the cockpit, and the Flight Data Recorder (FDR), were “in pieces”.

Their memory cards were illegible and they had been sent by Egypt to France to be repaired there. After being made readable, the data of one of them, the Flight Data Recorder, had been referred Tuesday to Cairo to be “deciphered and studied” the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

the French investigators of investigation and analysis (BEA) started on Tuesday the work to make it readable memory of the second black box, the TRC, containing conversations of the flight.

in France, a judicial inquiry was opened for “involuntary homicide”, according to prosecutors who had initiated a preliminary investigation on 19 May a conventional procedure due to the presence of French citizens among the victims.

At the heart of a scandal involving sexual abuse by religious of his diocese, the archbishop of Lyon Philippe Barbarin Archbishop wants to learn from the past by raising four priests in their ministry and by enacting a series of measures very farms to depart from future offending.

This new policy that the cardinal had partly unveiled at the end of a meeting of the local clergy, April 25 near Lyon, shows a much more severe positioning prelate against religious suspected abuse.

the Primate of the Gauls, one of the most influential personalities of the Church of France, finally seems to respond concretely to the criticism that he is the subject for more than six months for not quickly dismissed the priests of his diocese caught by accusations of pedophilia or sexual assault.

complaints in this regard have triggered an investigation for “failure to report” sexual assaults and “duty to rescue”.

Usually very reserved as to the action of the Archbishop of victims of abuse have welcomed the contrary Thursday “absolute good sense” of the measures it has announced, through the voice of Bertrand Virieux, a spokesman for the association La liberated word

the decision to remove from office four priests, whose identity was not revealed, was taken after consulting a panel of experts – composed of a high honorary magistrate, d a psychiatrist, a psychoanalyst, a doctor, parents, the clergy of the social worker, the chancellor of the diocese vicar general and moderator.

“These priests brought involved or not in the press, already convicted or not, “said a diocesan source, without more details.

other priests of the diocese of Lyon are subject to measures of” accompaniment particular”. These are priests who have already been tried and who will benefit from a “monitoring” of the diocese, said the source.

“For all the situations concerned, the facts are known to the judicial authority, “the diocese.

Do not appear in this list the father Bernard Preynat, indicted in January for sexual assault of young scouts under 15 years between 1986 and 1991 and already noted from office in the summer of 2015.

his case became emblematic of silence and embarrassment of the Lyon Church these abuses led to cascading revelations in recent months.

– ‘Why did it take so long?’ –

A countdown of the attitude of the Church against the Preynat case, the new diocese of standards now provide that “any priest who committed acts of sexual assault on a minor, whatever the date facts and the date of discovery of these facts, will be definitely ruled out any ministry. “

every priest suspected of sexual abuse facts,” if it is the subject of a formal examination or prosecution before a criminal court, will, by interim measure, dismissed from office during the time of the procedure, while respecting the presumption of innocence, “the diocese indicating that a canonical investigation will being conducted in accordance with canon law.

in addition, “you will be asked a certificate signed by his superior” to any outdoor welcomed priest in the diocese of Lyon for a department, even temporarily. This will certify that the priest “meets the diocesan criteria in the fight against sexual abuse and has no history in this area.”

“This is great, we waited the standards of good absolute sense and we can only be satisfied, told AFP, Bertrand Virieux. Even if asked why he took so long to get here. “

” There is a downside, however. be it own decisions in the diocese of Lyon and not national and it is not necessary that these ads serve against fire for exempting Cardinal Barbarin, “he added.

the Church of France had announced in April a series of measures to “light” on pedophilia in its ranks, including the oldest facts. Prosecutors in Lyon meanwhile must decide soon on the investigation of the archbishop.

Bernard Tapie finally returned to the ropes – Liberation

The Court of Cassation whistles the end of the game. Thursday, the highest French court has finally approved the cancellation of arbitration which, in July 2008, granted to Bernard Tapie 403 million euros in damages (of which 250 were returned at the net).

the ultimate recourse of the businessman was to argue that its dispute for nearly a quarter century in the Consortium of achievement (CDR, a public body having inherited antiques litigation Credit Lyonnais) to About resale Adidas would be international in nature: a German box was bought in 1990 by a French minister future, then sold in 1993 to a businessman based in Luxembourg (Robert-Louis Dreyfus) supported for the occasion by offshore shells registered in the Cayman islands in the care of the bank. “This is essential” , the Supreme Court noted in an explanatory statement of its judgment: if the dispute is international, only a newly constituted arbitral tribunal could remake the game; if Franco-French, the Court of Appeal of Paris would be perfectly competent to revisit the history – it will not hesitate to make a stop in February 2015

subtle reasoning.

in the body of its decision, the Supreme Court adopts a subtle reasoning “. This is the time of arbitration that appreciates its internationality” And when under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy, the principle of arbitration replacing the legal proceedings is adopted in high places, “international dimension that had existed disappeared” …

But this is a second judgment, delivered in December 2015, the same appeal court, revisiting the merits of the dispute Adidas, thought he did not deserve damages. This judgment then subject to another appeal on points, not yet examined today. A possible extension of the match

We are talking about civil, which is played mostly in financial matters. – Pay the money or not, and if so how much. In criminal law, for the survey “scam judgment” [always about the dispute arbitration, note] has been closed by investigating judges. It will largely fueled the financial dispute, contradicting the old legal adage “Criminal holds the civil.” Again, multiple appeals are in progress, of which maintain some suspense, even if Mass seems mainly spoken.

The rent regulation applied from 2018 all the Paris area – Le Figaro

The Housing Minister Emmanuelle Cosse has signed the decree to extend rent control to 412 towns in Ile-de-France. A measure denounced by professionals.

The real estate experts expected, but not necessarily too early, or to such ladder. The Minister of Housing Emmanuelle Cosse has indeed announced in an interview with France Bleu that rent regulation, which applied previously in Paris, would be extended to more than 400 cities and eight million inhabitants of the Paris region, from 2018. a measure that is a logical extension of the application of OLAP (Observatory of rents in the Paris area) who had claimed in April to expand its approval to 287 municipalities in the region.

as the minister explained by noting that “there are areas in Ile-de-France where rents are very expensive” and saying the device would ” to restore purchasing power to households concerned “. “In Ile-de-France, the market is continuously on both sides of the device and limited supervision creates distortions in Paris, for his part stressed Daniel Goldberg, deputy PS in Seine-Saint-Denis, favorable for framing. This required that the device applies to the entire metropolis of Greater Paris. “



Manuel Valls little pressed for the extension

His only regret is that Manuel Valls , stating that in August 2014 the Parisian experimental device would be triggered a year to a year and a half late for this extension of the frame. He will indeed reckon 12 to 18 months to collect data to define the rents charged and ceilings that will apply in the municipalities concerned.

impatience to frame that share no professional of ‘immovable. “I do not think the device would be as wide, says Jean-François Buet, president of the National Federation of Real Estate (FNAIM), it merely extends the principle which I dispute the relevance.” According to him, is only a bad signal for additional donor while rents have adjusted themselves down, in a period where the purchasing power is at half mast. “In fact it is a political strategy, a way to salute the work of Cécile Duflot and we would probably like this device, it is almost a non-event,” he wants to believe.



Soon Lille and Grenoble

Meanwhile, Bernart Cadeau, president of Orpi believes that this announcement is “economically nonsensical and psychologically wrong signal.” “We had already denounced the inefficiency of the system and the lack of relevance of the available data on Paris and it will be much worse in the Ile-de-France since it is much more diffuse,” he said. And behind the risk to the data, there is also the new conflicts between landlords and tenants on rent levels.

Most importantly, the measure permanently doucherait the desires of investors to bet on the rental. “They are less likely to Paris and fell further to 15%,” says Bernard Cadeau. A device he considers “draconian”, where Daniel Goldberg sees “a means of erasing the excesses of the market, not for a minority of owners.”

The Housing Minister also confirmed that the device may be effective in Lille, at the end of 2016. “And Grenoble launched its observatory for coaching by one and a half, “she said in Le Parisien. The Alur law of 24 March 2014 provides that the signing of a new lease or upon renewal, the rent for a unit can not exceed 20% of a reference rent fixed by prefectural neither he be lower 30%. This device prevents the rents exceed the ceilings set by an observatory.

El Khomri law: the ultimate retreat to calm opponents – Le Figaro

The government will table amendments to the text carried by the Minister of Labour to strengthen the role of professional branches.

After more than four months of standoff in the streets and in Parliament, the executive wants to close the painful sequence of El Khomri act peacefully, by a majority vote in two weeks in the Assembly, without the use of 49 -3. To that end, Manuel Valls and Minister of Labour made a final step towards the protesters to offer them a new modification of the text. Even further weaken the principle of strengthening business negotiation which was to remain, after the many pre setbacks, like the heart of the law.

On Wednesday evening, after an initial burst Matignon meetings with unions (CFTC, CFDT, CGT and FO), this political gamble seemed close to being won. The government could already be proud of having “won” FO movement. On arrival at Matignon, Jean-Claude Mailly has indeed said that “the labor law was in progress, even if this was not enough to come out on top.” The general secretary of FO had said earlier in the day not to “be in logic, for now, to continue the demonstrations.” Starting with those of July 5, the terms should be defined on Thursday night in Inter.



“The disagreements are confirmed. Small advances are far from the account “

His alter ego of the CGT, Philippe Martinez, has however not disarmed and called the French to continue to mobilize against the project law that will return next Tuesday at the meeting. “Disagreements are confirmed. Small advances are way off the mark, “he began as he left Matignon.

As for slingers, a majority believed Wednesday that a compromise was now possible. This session was dedicated to rewrite them, rather than to the unions, including the mobilization crumbling from week to week no longer fear to the executive. “We believe that the proposed amendments to the expectations of slingers”, has also assumed Myriam El Khomri in an interview in the world.

A few months before the Socialist primary, Francois Hollande has indeed to heart to appease his troops that were torn during passage of the text at first reading in the Assembly. It was he who had pushed to compromise, even if it still promised last week to go “to the end” of the labor law. The threat of a new use of Article 49-3, which allows a government to adopt a text without a vote of the deputies, seems to go away. First reading after 20 hours of heated debate, knowing he would not get a majority, Manuel Valls had to bring himself under the invectives of all elected officials, including those of its majority.

A conjuring trick

the government, in coordination with the rapporteur of the text to the Assembly, the member Christophe Sirugue, so will file three amendments to the bill, including the examination social Affairs Committee begins this Thursday. The first, relatively transpartisan, plans to involve the social partners as a result of rewriting the Labour Code. The other two will amend Article 13 to give more weight to the professional sectors.

This is first left to the social partners of the branches to define the issues on which an agreement company will not deviate from a branch agreement, where the primacy of the company agreement is not specified by law. A third amendment clarifies the outset that, on the subject of professional equality between men and women and arduousness, a company agreement may not be the lowest bidder a branch agreement.



“the heart of the text is not touched, so the CFDT is satisfied”

the government and raised its bet not formally touch Article 2 of the bill, which expands the business scope of bargaining, while giving guarantees to those who were alarmed of a possible social dumping. This sleight of tower, once again, was inspired by Laurent Berger. The secretary general of the CFDT will thus remained in full the first board of the executive in the development of this law. In an interview published Tuesday in The Opinion , the union proposed that “in each branch, negotiations can be opened to define the set of rules to which the company agreement may derogate”. Consistent with itself, it merely stated, on leaving Matignon, “the heart of the text is not touched, so the CFDT is satisfied”

Gattaz. “He will remain as constraints “

These amendments will undoubtedly complicate the work of the negotiators in business. Their exact consequences are difficult to predict. Everything will depend on how the players in the branches – for those active at least – will seize. They could follow multiple directions. Especially in the midst of restructuring, branches now have the most diverse profiles, some representing only a handful of companies.

The law should in any case always give primacy company agreements on such sensitive topics as the fixing of the rate of increase overtime (when it is not less than 10%) or exceeding the average weekly working time, within the limits of 46 hours on a continuous period of 12 weeks.

Pierre Gattaz, president of Medef, welcomed with great pessimism this new modification of the text. If it comes to “do as Article 2 is neutralized, there will be nothing left, there will only constraints,” he said Wednesday. “You have to go through the reversal of the hierarchy of norms.” As representatives of the CFE-CGC, the CGPME and UPA, the boss of bosses will be received Thursday at Matignon.

These amendments will undoubtedly complicate the work of the negotiators in business. Their exact consequences are difficult to predict. Everything will depend on how the players in the branches – for those active at least – will seize. They could follow multiple directions. Especially in the midst of restructuring, branches now have the most diverse profiles, some representing only a handful of companies.

The law should in any case always give primacy company agreements on such sensitive topics as the fixing of the rate of increase overtime (when it is not less than 10%) or exceeding the average weekly working time, within the limits of 46 hours on a continuous period of 12 weeks.

Pierre Gattaz, president of Medef, welcomed with great pessimism this new modification of the text. If it comes to “do as Article 2 is neutralized, there will be nothing left, there will only constraints,” he said Wednesday. “You have to go through the reversal of the hierarchy of norms.” As representatives of the CFE-CGC, the CGPME and UPA, the boss of bosses will be received Thursday at Matignon.

New threats to Charlie Hebdo – The Huffington Post

An investigation for “death threats” was opened discreetly, by the Paris prosecutor, June 22, reveals Le Parisien in its edition of June 29, 2016 after the publication of several messages on the Facebook page of the satirical newspaper. Messages, described as “threatening”, suggesting that several members of the editorial would be, again, targeted.

The authors of these messages, posted on the official Facebook page of “Charlie Hebdo” -and since- withdrawn clearly mentioned to want to physically attack journalists of the satirical weekly. “There is in particular a question of killing, again, several members of the editorial,” continues the same source in Paris.

There is something particularly terrifying, there is something of particularly atrocious.

Although it must be careful and wait for the results of the judicial inquiry which should start soon, we can not help thinking that the obscurantist cracked the fanatical ideologues freaks, the bloodthirsty, the misfits and fanatics, want, want to continue to murder journalists.

In short, Charlie Hebdo, was everything he hated: a strand of insolence, the darling freedom, the Word, questioning, investigating, denouncing abuses and malpractices , crime, corruption, fanaticism. Charlie asked, bullied sometimes, but was pointing inconsistencies, follies and lies. Charlie Hebdo was talking to the world and because he spoke, it was to silence him for good.

It seems, in these circumstances, it is not enough for the barbarians that many journalists have been murdered since left. It is not enough that the title was in flames and bullets, so we want to still threaten the editors.

Beyond Charlie Hebdo and recent threats he is still the focus, these are all free journalists who are threatened. These are all the feathers you want to break, they are all the voices you want to permanently silence. These are all loving breaths of freedom, equality and brotherhood that we want to destroy, we want to silence and / or post forever.

There nothing more beautiful, bigger, more noble when a journalist told the truth when his breath questions the world, when his pen, he likes to disturb the powerful and down the walls.

when Charlie Hebdo is threatened when journalists are threatened, it is all of us who are. More than ever, proclaim with one voice this time we are all journalists who all want to remain free men

in a speech of nearly a half-hour before the national Assembly, the head of government said that the choice of the British out of Thursday’s EU showed” discomfort peoples “who, he said,” doubt Europe. ” “They feel it imposes its choices and systematically works against their interests,” he said.

“Europe will be with the people.
