LOS ANGELES, June 19 (Reuters) - After weeks of promotion, a 96-hour livestream and an attempt to end some bad blood with Taylor Swift, Katy Perry’s “Witness” made its debut atop the U.S. Billboard 200 chart on Monday, the singer’s third chart-topping album. AP Photo/Manu Fernandez

Jack Black leads star-studded cast for “Jumanji” reboot
BARCELONA - U.S. actor Jack Black has some big comedic shoes to fill in his forthcoming project, which sees him take the lead role in “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”, a star-studded reboot of the hit 1995 comedy that starred the late Robin Williams. Black said that he only watched the original film after being cast in the follow-up. He described Williams as a “genius” who was “at the peak of his powers” in the movie. The original “Jumanji” saw Williams play a man who escapes from captivity inside a magical junglethemed board game. The new film sees that premise reversed, with the lead characters journeying into the game’s fantastical world. “In this one we actually travel with the characters into the jungle and it’s gorgeous and treacherous and exciting”, Black told Reuters. In another twist away from the original, which saw Williams’ character enter the game as a child an emerge as an adult, this film sees child characters transform into adults when they get pulled into the game. Black and co-star Nick Jonas were promoting the film at Cine Europe 2017, an annual cinema convention held in Barcelona. In addition to Black and Jonas the film features screen muscleman Dwanye “The Rock” Johnson, and comedian Kevin Hart. “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is due out in Cinemas in December. (rtr)
“Witness,” in which Perry infused political themes into pop music, sold 162,000 albums, 51,000 songs and was streamed more than 19 million times in its opening week, totaling 180,000 album units, according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan. The Billboard 200 album chart tallies units from album sales, song sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity (1,500 streams equal one album). Perry’s promotional tour included numerous performances, interviews and a four-day livestream on YouTube before the album’s release. In one interview, Perry said she was ready to bury the hatchet on her long-running feud with Swift. Swift has yet to respond, but she released her back catalog to streaming services on the same day as Perry’s “Witness” release in what was widely seen as a bid to steal Perry’s thunder. On Monday, Swift’s 2014 album “1989” climbed to No. 31 on the Billboard 200 chart on the strength of nearly 19 million streams, just under the streaming figures for Perry’s “Witness.” Perry became the second solo female artist to top the Billboard chart this year, following on last week’s No. 1 debut from Halsey. Other new releases in the top 10 this week include hip hop singer SZA’s “CTRL” at No. 3, country music group Lady Antebellum’s “Heart Break” at No. 4 and punk rock band Rise Against at No. 9 with “Wolves.” On the Digital Songs chart, which measures online single sales, Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber continued its reign at the top, adding 140,000 copies sold.

Two French police officials say the man who rammed into a police convoy on Paris’ Champs-Elysees was a 31-year-old man from a Paris suburb who had been flagged for extremism.
Champs Elysees attacker stashed weapons, was on French watchlist
PARIS - A man who rammed a car into a police van in Paris stored a cache of weapons at his home and held a gun permit despite being on a secret service list of people linked to radical Islam, police sources and French officials said on Tuesday. A judicial source said investigators were compiling an inventory of the arms and equipment found in the 31-year-old’s home. The man, who died in the attack, was also carrying in his car an assault rifle, two pistols, ammunition and two large gas canisters when he rammed a police convoy on Monday. Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said the individual first received a permit to possess a gun before he

was flagged to intelligence agencies as a potential militant threat. At the time there was no reason to deny
him the permit, Philippe said. Philippe said it was “quite possible” the licence was active at the time the attacker was on a security watchlist. Three sources close to the investigation confirmed it was. “Nobody can be happy, and certainly not me, that someone who has been flagged to security agencies can continue to benefit from such an authorisation,” Philippe told BFM TV. The man was placed on France’s so called ‘Fiche S’ watchlist after he was found to belong to a radical Islamist movement, two police sources said. Individuals on the list are placed under surveillance though the intensity of that surveillance varies depending on the
perceived threat the individual poses. Philippe said draft legislation drawn up in May envisaged changes to allow officials who handle gun permits to check if individuals seeking licences are on a watchlist. ARRESTS But refusing permits in such cases had it drawbacks, he said. “If you revoke the authorisation of someone who is under surveillance, they’re going to know why.” On Monday, witnesses saw the man being pulled from the car as thick yellow smoke poured out. Police arrested four of his close relatives in a raid south of Paris late on Monday, a police source said. They included his father and brother. France has been on high alert after a wave of militant Islamist attacks over the past two years, including most recently an attack on police outside the Notre Dame
Cathedral and an Islamic Stateclaimed attack on police on the Champs Elysees in April. In July last year, 86 people were killed when a truck ploughed through a crowd in Nice, and similar incidents have occurred in other European cities. Philippe said the government would be presenting a draft law soon to toughen counter-terrorism legislation. “We need to find legal instruments that at once guarantee that we continue to live in a Fifth Republic which safeguards freedoms and ensure the security of French people,” Philippe said.
