She accuses him of domestic violence, he denounces defamation. For weeks, the duel between star Johnny Depp and his ex-wife actress Amber Heard is followed, scrutinized, judged, mocked by millions of Americans during an ultra-publicized trial. Last night, the jury largely agreed with Johnny Depp. His former partner shares her “disappointment” and “talks about a throwback to a time when a woman who speaks publicly is made to feel guilty and humiliated”. Does this case mark a turning point in the #metoo movement and the freedom of speech? We take stock in the Quarter Hour.
We also take you to Marseille. For his 10th trip to the city as president, Emmanuel Macron went to visit a school and praise the merits of “the school of the future”, a device that gives more autonomy to heads of establishments. Despite criticism from the unions, the Head of State ultimately wishes to generalize this experiment carried out in 59 Marseille schools.
Jul is Marseille, Marseille is Jul
But in Marseille the event of the week is not the visit of the president but the concert of the king: on Saturday, Jul will give his very first concert at the Stade Vélodrome. He will present on stage his new album, “Extraterrestre”, which will be released tomorrow. How to explain this strong link between the rapper and his city? Margaux Queffélec, reporter for the Quarter Hour, went to meet fans and visited the recording studio where the rap star made his previous albums.
