error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.easynews.com : Forbidden
error: failed to update core (Forbidden)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.easynews.com : Forbidden

The easynews mirror appears not to be working correctly at the moment (it's an error on their end, not yours).

Edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and put a different mirror at the top.

I did that. I told the easynews server that you are forbidden to enter.
