FRENCH actor Gérard Depardieu has spoken for the first time about being charged with raping and sexual abusing a young actress, saying: "I am innocent." The 72-year-old film star broke his silence on Thursday after Paris prosecutors confirmed he faced trial and prison for the attacks allegedly carried out at his £45million mansion in 2018 . "There is no proof, there is nothing against me and therefore I am very serene," Depardieu said in an interview in Italy’s La Repubblica. "I can only reject all the accusations as clearly as possible, as I’ve already done in front of the investigators." Depardieu noted that the accusations made by the 22-year-old complainant, who cannot be named because of legal reasons, were originally thrown out by examining magistrates following nine months of enquiries. He said: "For me, the investigation was closed for lack of evidence. In court, I will reaffirm my innocence. I am innocent and I have nothing to fear." The actor, who is … [Read more...] about Actor Gerard Depardieu, 72, breaks his silence after being charged with rape and says ‘I am innocent’

FRANCE has green lit the AstraZeneca jab for older people with underlying health issues in an embarrassing u-turn for Emmanuel Macron. Health minister Oliver Veran announced the decision after Mr Macron had originally claimed there was not enough data on the age group to allow older people to use it. The move - which will see those aged 65-74 with underlying health issues get the jab - comes after new data showed the effectiveness of the UK and Swedish-made vaccine. This is a humiliating blow for the embattled French President who drew heavy fire after claiming the remedy was “quasi-ineffective” for the elderly. Last night, Mr Véran told France Télévisions: “The Haute Autorité de Santé now considers as of today that all three vaccines that we have in France have a remarkable efficacy to protect people against the risk of severe forms of Covid-19. “As a result, I can announce that from now on everyone aged 50 and above who have comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood … [Read more...] about France approves AstraZeneca vaccine for over-65s in embarrassing u-turn for Emmanuel Macron
