Was Le Slap a love tap or an assault? France's first couple offer a distraction from bad news
Not that you asked, but yes, I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the bad news out of Washington: Pardons for tax cheats who line President Trump's pockets. Talk of pardons for the violent criminals who conspired to kidnap and kill Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Dinners for crypto moguls who shower him with money. His monomaniacal quest to extinguish the light of the country's most prestigious university. His budget that will deprive millions of their healthcare coverage, while slashing taxes for the rich and swelling the $36 trillion national debt by an estimated $3.8 trillion. And don't get me started on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s inane move that could make it harder for pregnant women to get COVID-19 shots, thus depriving their infants of protection against the virus when they are vulnerable and not yet eligible for vaccination. Good heavens, I needed a distraction. Happily, it arrived in the form of an unexpected video. You may have seen it: Last Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte, got tongues wagging when she did something that seemed entirely out of character for the painfully elegant first lady. She was caught on camera squishing her hands right into his handsome face. It looked like an act of hostility. I was intrigued. I know, I know. It's hardly world-shattering news. But who doesn't perk up a bit when the scrim of perfection that shields the private lives of high-profile, perfectly turned-out couples is torn, even for one brief moment? Who can forget the sight of First Lady Melania Trump swatting away her husband's hand during a 2017 visit to Tel Aviv? Or the way her smile faded during his first inauguration the moment he looked away from her, inspiring the #FreeMelania hashtag? For all the drama and rumor that swirled around the Clintons' marriage, I can't think of any public moment when they did not appear civil with one another, even after his disastrous relationship with a White House intern. And the Obamas? Is there any other intensely scrutinized political couple who seem so downright normal? Not that anyone ever really knows what's going on in anyone else's marriage. Which brings us back to the Macrons. His plane was on the tarmac in Hanoi, where he was kicking off a tour to strengthen ties with countries in Southeast Asia. As the plane door opened, the couple were caught unawares. A startled-looking Macron backed up as disembodied hands smushed his face. He instantly collected himself, and his wife appeared at his side. As they began to descend the staircase, he offered her his arm, which she did not take. The bizarre clip went viral, and sent the French government, known as the Élysée Palace, into what one headline described as 'chaos.' Part of the chaos stemmed from the government first claiming that the clip was not real but was possibly a deep fake created by AI and exploited by Russia to make Macron seem weak. After the Associated Press authenticated the video, the French government changed its tune, describing the moment as merely a playful interaction between the couple. Unsurprisingly, given their back story, the Macrons have been the subject of intense fascination for years. They met in 1993 at a Catholic high school in northern France when he was 15. She, nearly 40 at the time, and a married mother of three, was his drama teacher. His parents were so concerned about the impropriety of their relationship that they sent him away to Paris for his senior year. In 2006, she divorced her husband, and married Macron the following year. He was 29. She was 54. 'Of course, we have breakfast together, me and my wrinkles, him with his youth, but it's like that,' Macron told Elle France in 2017. 'If I did not make that choice, I would have missed out on my life.' Unfortunately, Le Slapgate threatened to overshadow the Macrons' trip. 'We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,' he told reporters, complaining that the incident was being overblown into 'a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe.' A few days later, though, he was making light of the incident. Or at least trying to. On Tuesday in Jakarta, Indonesia, as his plane door opened, another disembodied hand appeared, this time waving before Macron stepped into the camera frame smiling before he walked down the stairs arm in arm with his wife. Ha ha. For a brief moment, the squabbling of one of the world's most interesting couples gave us a much needed break from the actual geo-planetary catastrophe unfolding around us. For that, the Macrons have my gratitude. Merci, you crazy lovebirds. @ @rabcarian

‘We've lost everything;' Families comb through destruction after 4 houses catch fire
Families are combing through what's left of their homes to see what can be salvaged after four homes caught fire Friday night near Indian Lake. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] News Center 7's Malik Patterson speaks with families about the fire LIVE on News Center 7 at 11. Related>> 4 houses damaged in large fire near Indian Lake, 2 considered complete loss TRENDING STORIES: Man accused of shooting 2 Ohio officers now in critical condition; Woman accused of harboring him Chance to see northern lights returns to the Miami Valley Local man arrested on child molestation warrant after 'intensive investigation' It started as a single house fire, and quickly spread to more houses on Beechwood Cove. Four homes were involved in the fire and two of them were ruled complete losses by fire crews. It will be a long road to rebuilding for the impacted families, including Larry Baker, who lost his entire house. 'We were at dinner in New Bremen, Ohio,' Baker said. 'Eleven of us, and we came back and the house was engulfed in flames as we drove up the drive.' Baker was stunned at the sight. 'We have no idea about how it started, what happened or anything,' Baker said. 'But we've lost everything.' Baker tried to go into the home to save their family dog. 'I tried to get our dog, didn't get it. Got singed. I was turned back by the heat and the smoke and some flames,' Baker said. Huntsville Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Tom Weikart says no one was injured in the fires, but they struggled to put it out. 'It's a very limited access area. Fortunately, we were able to get up next to the lake and start drafting from the lake for a water supply,' Weikart said. Daniel and Rosemary Haemmerle had minimal fire damage to their home. 'We're very lucky. Very, very lucky,' Rosemary said. Daniel said it was like something out of a movie. 'The winds were coming real strong southwest, and so it just like fed it, like a blast furnace. So it's unbelievable,' Daniel said. 'I've never seen anything move so fast. So if you're ever in a fire, don't go in the house. Because you think you can, you can't.' Investigators are looking into the cause of the fire. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Over 70 cats, 3 dogs rescued from ‘biohazard' hoarding conditions in Ohio
72 cats and three dogs were seized from a person accused of hoarding them in two 'biohazard' houses in Ohio, according to our CBS affiliate WOIO-19 TV. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] TRENDING STORIES: Local man arrested on child molestation warrant after 'intensive investigation' Robocaller behind millions of illegal calls in Ohio permanently banned, attorney general announces Man with filet knife arrested after standoff in Mercer County The complaint reported that several cats were living in inhumane conditions in an Ashtabula house. On May 15, an ACAPL officer and an Astabula dog warden responded to the house and found biohazardous conditions, according to a social media post from the league. 'With urine soaked floors, and a flea infestation and the majority of the cats requiring urgent veterinary care it was decided to remove the animals,' the post said. Over 40 cats were rescued from the house. The ACAPL told WOIO-19 that many of the cats were suffering from an upper respiratory infection from the fecal matter and ammonia odor. Some of the cats were blind or only had one healthy eye, ACAPL said. Two of the cats had to get surgery to remove their entire eyeballs and optic nerve, WOIO-19 reported. While investigating the animal hoarding, authorities found a second location this week where the same person kept pets in unsanitary conditions. 28 cats and three dogs were rescued from this location. The league reported the property to the health department because conditions were 'uninhabitable for both animals and humans.' The ACAPL told WOIO-19 that these cats were in better health than those rescued from the first property. Some have already been treated and cleared for adoption, the league added. The conditions of the rescued dogs were not immediately available. 'This case has led to an overwhelming number of cats now in our care,' the league said on social media. WOIO-19 reported that the league must take all strays and animals seized by the warden due to a contract with the county. On May 20, the league posted to social media asking other rescues and shelters to help out and accept transfers. According to WOIO-19, most of the cats and kittens rescued in this investigation can't be adopted yet due to age or health. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
