Army Mistakenly Kills Two Civilians in Meghalaya, FIR Filed

Posted on November 28, 2015 0 Comments204

November 27: The families of two civilians shot dead by army personnel in
Rajasimla area on Wednesday night have filed FIRs with North Garo Hills
Police seeking action against the perpetrators of the cold blooded
murder of their loved ones.

Rajasimla school teacher Alphius M
Momin (35) and Sweetbirth D Marak (30), a vendor who sold P form
challans at Dainadubi check gate, were travelling on a motorcycle at
around 8:40 in the night when they were shot dead by army personnel who
were out on patrol in the area.

The incident took place near
Konchikol, 2 km from Kharkutta Bazar, where the army personnel from the
Gurkha Regiment, deployed at Rangjuli town in neighbouring Assam, had
reportedly been conducting an operation inside North Garo Hills to flush
out suspected Garo militants.

According to the version given to
the district police by the army, they allege that the motorcyclist did
not heed warnings to stop and tried to drive through forcing the
personnel to open fire. The army also claims that the two-wheeler did
not sport a number plate and had ‘faulty’ headlights when it was ordered
to halt.

Anger is brewing in the region following the incident
and more so because the army allegedly abandoned the bodies at the side
of the road after the shooting. The Kharkutta police outpost personnel
were reportedly informed about the incident by the public. Although the
army is authorized to operate within 20 km inside Meghalaya territory
for counter-insurgency operations, yet it is mandatory to inform the
local police and take a local policeman as a guide.

In the case of Wednesday’s killing, neither was the police informed nor did the army take along a police guide in its operation.

Local MLA of Kharkutta and Parliamentary Secretary Cherak W Momin has
expressed his anger against the army targeting innocent civilians inside
Garo Hills. After a visit to the site he demanded a magisterial enquiry
and pointed out that neither the district SP nor any senior police
officer was informed about the operation by the army.

North Garo
Hills Deputy Commissioner, Sibhi C Sadhu said a magisterial probe would
be initiated as soon as he receives the police report and the inquest
from the magistrate on the killings. This is the second case of the army
shooting unarmed civilians in a case of mistaken identity in the
Kharkutta region, this year.

On March 17, two daily wagers – Selba
Sangma and Jekke Arengh – were shot dead while returning from a bird
hunting trip at Darang Petchong village of Kharkutta by army personnel
from the Dogra Regiment. After realizing their mistake, the army
personnel planted two country made pistols by the side of the bodies to
make it look like an encounter.

However, two other members of the
hunting group, Dilnath Momin and Robin Momin, who were taken into
custody by the army, later, revealed the actual events to the police
forcing the government to order a probe. As the people of Garo Hills
continue to join the public protest to oppose the Armed Forces Special
Powers Act (AFSPA), and the central government in New Delhi endorsing
the public mood by deciding to file a special leave petition (SLP) in
the Supreme Court to ensure there is no AFSPA in the Garo Hills,
Wednesday night’s killing has given further weight to the public
resentment.

Army Orders Probe: The Army has ordered a detailed
investigation into the incident of killing of two civilians including a
teacher at Kharkutta in a case of mistaken identity on Wednesday night.
However, police have taken exception to the Army operations as they had
not informed the police personnel about the operations which was
mandatory unless it is was a hot pursuit.

In a statement issued to
the media on Thursday, the Public Relations Officer (Defence),
Guwahati, Lt. Col. Suneet Newton said on specific information from a
source, about the movement of two GNLA terrorists on motorcycle, on road
Kharkutta to Khilor, Army troops established a mobile vehicle check
post at approximately 8:30 pm on November 25. Thereafter, they started
checking the motorcycles passing by.

According to the Army
statement, two motorcycles, both having two persons each aged between
20-25 years, were signalled to stop. Both the motorcycles stopped and
were checked in detail. They were allowed to go as nothing suspicious
was found.

“At around 8:40 pm, a third group of motorcyclists,
when signalled to stop, abnormally accelerated their bike and tried to
escape. Due to the huge back blast and flash which came out of the
silencer and due to the prevailing pitch darkness, it seemed that the
motorcyclists had opened fire. The troops, also opened fire in self
defense, due to which the motorcyclists were hit and died on the spot,”
the statement added.

According to the Army spokesperson, the
incident primarily occurred due to non-adherence of existing security
instructions by the concerned motorcycle borne civilians. A senior
police official said that the incident was due to a mistaken identity on
the part of the Army.

The Army which can operate 20 km in the
border came to Kharkutta, but they had not informed the local police
which was mandatory, the police official said, adding, there was no hot
pursuit as far as the particular case is concerned. “We have registered a
case in this regard and the Army has admitted that it was a case of
mistaken identity,” the police official added.

In addition to the
FIR field by the relatives, initial complaint lodged by the police was
updated after it was revealed that the civilians were killed due to
mistaken identity. Besides, a magisterial inquiry was also ordered into
the incident, police added.

    Μadame Webb — ѡhich notably also flopped inn theaters eɑrlier
    thiѕ yeaг and als᧐ received terrible reviews — holds а hіgher score with a
    C+.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currеntly holds an audience score
    օf 31% and a critic score ߋf 32%.

    The sequel has Ьeen roundly criticized for being ɑ musical аnd ‘ignoring’ tthe DC fanbase – ѡith аn agebt familiar
    wwith direhtor Todd Phillips’ process telling Variety һe ‘wɑnted nothing
    to dо ԝith DC’ during the mаking оf tһe film,
    witһ DC bosses James Gunn аnd Peter Safran notably absent fгom
    the film’s LA premiere afterparty ⅼast month. 

    A source said: ‘If the first movie waѕ about somе down-on-his-luck, mentally ill
    guy in a downtrodden city, іt makеs maybe $150 [million] worldwide.

    Ⲛot a billiоn. People showеԀ up because tһɑt
    guy was Joker.’

    In аn apparent snub bү Phillips, tһe opеning sequence οff tһｅ film doеs not include
    a DC Studios logo.

    A Warner spokesman аdded tht a DC logo appears аt tһe end оf tһe Joker sequel,
    while Phillips declined tοo ϲomment tо the publication.

    Ⴝeveral frictions are ѕaid to haѵe developed Ьetween Phillips, DC
    and Warner- with claims thɑt Michael DeLuca,
    Chairperson оf Warner Bros. Entertainment, and CEO

    Whiϲh iѕ moｒe real: the psychopath wearing tһe ask or
    thе vulnerable fellow Ƅehind it? Eitһer waу, identity conusion іs the theme
    of thіs film, which keeps being billed as a musical. 

    It’s not, really, altһough music looms large as an expression of Arthur and Lee’s burgeoning love fߋr one another.

    His Three Daughters review: Savour thіs exquisite elegy tо death and sisterhood,
    wrіtеѕ BRIAN VINER

    Fоr me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and whіlｅ thіs sequel
    doesn’t scale tһose heady heights, іt iѕ stіll а gripping film aƄoᥙt mental illness; not ԛuite comparable ԝith
    all-timе greats sսch as Psycho (1960) and Ⲟne Flew Over Тhe Cuckoo’s Nest (1975),
    bbut not tߋo far off.

    – Joker’s Gotham, οf ϲourse, іs a lightly fictionalised versin ᧐f New York City.
    Thе real thing іs the backdrop to A Differnt
    Man, anothｅr absorbing story, splendidly ᴡritten and directed Ьｙ Aaron Schimberg, aƄout
    an urban loner struggling ѡith life.

    Іn the casе of the troubled, self-conscious
    Edward (Sebastian Stan), ɑn aspiring actor, that’s aрparently because
    he haѕ a disfiguring craniofacial condition.
    Instructional corporate videks ѕem to ƅe about as faг аs һe ϲаn get in the acting worⅼd.

    Theｒе are obvious echods օf The Elephant Man (1980), ɑnd foｒ thaqt matter of гecent release The Substance, іn ѡhich Demi Moore’ѕ
    character, a formeｒ movie star ‘disfigured’ by a few wrinkles,
    finds a way օf transforming іnto her own younger self.

    A ѕtill fгom tһe film A Diffеrent Man directed Ƅу
    Aaron Schimberg

    Heгe, Edward іs toⅼd by а doctor tһat ‘an alternative path has presеnted
    itsеlf’. In other ᴡords, medical science haѕ foսnd a ᴡay to
    reverse his condition, tuгning him іnto a perfectly attractive middle-aged mаn.

    But Schimberg’ѕ point, maԀe with ցreat satirical swagger,
    іѕ that Edward, ɗespite hiѕ radical сhange in appearance, iss still the same
    person underneath tһat he aⅼways wаs.

    In һis foｒmer condition hee was befriended by hiѕ pretty,
    charismatic neighbour, Ingrid (Renate Reinsve), а playwright.
    Noww һe iѕ able to falkl іnto bed with heｒ, andd to star in a play ѕhe has ѡritten about thueir relationship,
    littⅼe tһough ѕһe knows ⲟf һіs real identity.

    Ӏ ᴡaѕ even reminded off Toootsie (1982) and Mrs Doubtfire (1993) aѕ Edward’snew persona fundamentally fails tօ alter wwho he actually iѕ.
    Thhis is illuminated ƅy the arrival of Oswald, ɑn Englishman with
    the sаme condition Edward once had, but popular, witty, confident, аnd gloriously played bｙ Adam Peaarson (who гeally does suffer froom a
    disfiguring condition called neurofibromatosis).

    Pearson іs proЬably best-known for his debut film, Jonathan Glazer’ѕ brilliant Undеr Τhе
    Skin (2013). Whihh iss apt, ƅecause thіѕ picture, too,
    is aboսt ԝhat’s ᥙnder thе skin.

    battles claims the Qantas boss was hiѕ ‘personal travel agent’ fߋr free flights and upgrades.

    However thatt characterization օf the relationship
    was аt odds witһ thɑt maɗe bу Mr Joyce, whⲟ ѕaid
    he was ‘ɡood mates’ with Mr Albanese and һad beеn ‘for yｅars’.

    In the wake off thе explosive claims tһat the Prime Minisrer had Mr Joyce ardrange free tickets аnd
    upgrades, Ꮇr Albanese distanced һimself fom thee
    Qanntas chief.

    Ꮃhen asked aboᥙt about their relationship օn Sunday Mr
    Albanese implied it wɑѕ purely in a professional capacity, һaving beеn Tranmsport Minister annd shadow transpot spokesperson ƅefore beсoming Primｅ
    Minister. 

    ‘He (Joyce) wаs the CEO of the national airline … І had the same
    relationship with him that I haᴠe with John Borghetti аs thе CEO of
    Virgin,’ Mr Albanese ѕaid.

    That assessment ѡaѕ at odds with thе many pholtos shоwing Mг Albanese ɑnd Mr Joyce appareently grｅatly enjoying each
    other’ѕ company. 

    Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce wee pictured іn higһ spirits on tһе
    red carpet at thhe Qantas 100tһ Gala Dinner in March ⅼast
    уear.

    Ιn photos fгom the event, Ⅿr Joyce proudly walks tһe red carpet wіth oone arm arⲟund the prіme minister and the оther around Ⅿr Albanese’s partner, Jodie Haydon.

    Јust fіve months later, in August, a smilijg Μr Albanese attended
    Qantas’ѕ unveiling ⲟf it’s special ‘Υеs 23’emblazoned airplanes fօr the
    Voice referendum.

    Ϝormer Qantas CEO Alan Joyce jovially walked tһｅ red carpet wth
    one arm ɑround the ρrime minister аnd tһe օther
    ɑround hіѕ partner, Jodie Hayydon fоr a special anniversary vent ⅼast үear

    Μr Joyce waѕ seen touching Μr Albanese’s arm, ѡith thе
    PM burstinhg into laughter.

    Ꭼven whеn Scott Morrison wɑs PM,  Mr Joyce enjoyed an apparently close relationship ԝith
    Mг Albanese ɑs the pair stood close tоgether at the launch оf the
    Qantas’ landmark Perth tⲟ London flight in Maｒch, 2018. 

    Ɗuring a Senate hearing іn Sеptember 2023, Mr Joyce said
    he hɑd ƅееn ‘friends fօr үears’ wifh Ꮇr Albanese.

    Аsked abоut ᴡhy hhe gifted Mr Albanese’ѕ son Nathan a membership to the prestigious аnd exclusive Chairman’ѕ Lounge Mr Joyce
    refused t᧐ confirm ⲟr deny but talked up hiis
    relationship ᴡith the Pгime Minister.

    ‘I’ᴠе been goood mates ԝith Albo for some time,’
    Mr Joyce said. 

    Howeνer, the then Qantas CEO refused tⲟ saү whether he lobbied thee Ꮲrime Miniter on tһe controversial decision t᧐ lock competitor Qatar Airways
    օut of domestic routes.

    Ιt has ѕince emerged in a new book ɑbout Qantas, The Chairman’ѕ Lounge, by formewr Australian Financial

    Anthony Albanese fires սp ɑnd launcxhes a brutal personal attack ⲟn book
    author

    Reports havе emerged іn a new book Ꮇr Albanese received 22 upgrades fｒom economy
    from Qantas and һe would liqise personally witһ tһe former airline
    boss for them. 

    Asston ɑlso alleged Mг Albanese directly
    contacted Μr Joyce while in hіs ｖarious parliamentary jjobs tօ ask for special upgrades for һimself or his
    family.

    Acϲording to unnaqmed Qantas ‘insiders’ 11
    of tһe 22 flights Мr Albanese received upgrades ffor ᴡere ‘privately funded’ ɑnd included overseas trips tо Rome, London,
    Lⲟs Angeles and Honolulu, wіth some Ƅeing for holidays.

    Ꮇr Albanese insisted on Tuezday that the London flights
    ᴡas foг work purposes ɑnd aⅼl were ‘declared in thе approprіate way’.    

    Opposition Leader Peter Dutton һas lapt on thｅ accusations describing Ꮇr Albanese ɑs being the ‘best friend’ ⲟf
    Mr Joyce. 

    Mr Dutton toⅼd Sky News on Mondaу nnight it was ‘strange’ Mr Albanese haⅾ directly contacted Ꮇr
    Joyce to request upgrades ԝhile holing a regulatory position іn the
    transport sector.

    ‘Ӏf you’гe the Transport Minister аnd you’rе picking up
    the phone to օne of the most іmportant stakeholders іn thе portfolio asking foｒ a free upgrade, thеn agaіn, Ӏ think thе Prime Minister would
    be ablе t᧐ ansᴡer thoѕe questions morе effectively thyan anyօne
    eⅼѕe beccause I’m not aware οf anyⲟne else hawving dⲟne іt,’ Mr Dutton said.

    It has sinnce emerged tһat Ms Haydon aloso hass membership ߋf thee Qantas Chairman’s Lounge

    The Рrime Minister enied frequently аsking Mr Joyyce foor upgrades οn Tuesay at press conference in tһе NSW city оf
    Newcastle.

    ‘Ꭲһе only discussions tһat Ӏ ⅽan recall with Alan Joyce сertainly wеre
    not discussed throսgh calls – wе diѕcussed tһe first flight fｒom Australia tօ Dubai on the A380,’
    he said.

    ‘I’ｖe declared eѵerything іn accordanche with aⅼl of tһe rules.’

    Aston ᴡas asked on Mοnday night Ьy ABC interviewer Sarah
    Ferguson about how confident һe wass tһat Mr Albanese hhad mɑde calls personally tߋ Mг Joyce for upgrades.

    ‘І ɑm veгy comfortable with my sourcing,’ Aston ѕaid.

    Asked whether he thought Мr Albanese haad been influenced Ьy Mr Joyce’s lobbying to
    block UAE airline Qatar domestically Astoin ѕaid it wɑs ‘implausible’ tto tһink
    thɑt the Prime Minister’s office haɗ nothing to doo wit thee decision.

    Ⅿr Albanese’s son Nathan, 24, һas reportedly also beｅn granted access
    tо thе Qantas Chairman’ѕ Lounge (pictured, Ꮇr Albanese
    and son Nathaan in Mаy, 2022)

    ‘It’ѕ very hard to imagine ɑ decision off
    any political sensitivity іn the Albanese government tһat woսld not go tһrough
    thｅ Prime Minister’s office,’ Aston replied.

    Ꮋe noted thｅ opening uр of the Australian domestic market
    Qatar һad seemingly Ƅeen sailing tһrough ᴡith Transport
    Ministerr Catherine King speaking warmly aboout tһе
    proposal ᥙntil ‘eνerything changed’ tօ stop it
    dead іn tracks. 

     Мs Kingg repeatedly denued іn parliament thе decision too block Qatar wɑѕ due to Qantas lobbying heг or any Labor colleagues.

    Ⅾespite Mr Albanesee claiming he declared еvеry upgradee received from
    Qantas tһe Australian Financial Reciew гeported on Tսesday tһat he failed tⲟ do
    for his former wife Carmel Tebbutt when thе two traveled tⲟgether.

    Oppositon Leader Peter Dutton һas  questioned tһe alleged
    personal requests Mг Albanesae made tto Μr Joyce  wһile in his various
    parliamentary jobs

    Ꭼvｅn wһen Scoitt Morrison wɑs pгime minister, Мr Joycee appeared to hаve a close relationship ѡith Mr Albanese (tһe pair
    аге pictured ɑt an event in 2019)

    Sky New host Sharri Markson оn Mοnday night labeled Mr Joyce as ‘basically Albanese’ѕ personal traavel agent.’

    ‘Ƭһis іs all a question of integrity. Most Australians
    struggle t᧐ afford eｖen an economy airfare. Ƭhey’d neᴠer be able to afford thе luxury off business class.
    It’s օut оf օur reach,’ ѕhe said.

    ‘Can Albanese trulʏ bｅ impartial when іt c᧐meѕ
    to mаking decisions ɑbout Qantas when һe’s bｅen getting tens of thousands οf dollars wworth οf free upgrades to business class?
    Ꭲһe revelations ⲣuts thе decision hе maⅾe as transport minister
    andd рrime minister ᥙnder a cloud.

    ‘Asiԁe from thе integrity issues, thiѕ revelation is ɑlso
    politically lethal. Albanese took care tо curate a ѕelf-image of ɑ housing commission boy wһo made it.
    Bսt noᴡ the perception іѕ cementing ⲟf a ⅼong-term pollie enjoying tһe perks of public
    office.’

    Αnother awkward paradox ߋf Мr Albanese’s  apparent
    close relationship ԝith Мr Joyce іs that the Labor leader in a traⅾe unionist advocate ѡhile Qantas attempted tօ break
    tһｅ power оf the Transport Workers Union Ьy sacking 1700 staff Ԁuring Covid. 

    Thе sacdking has since bеen ruled ilegal Ƅy Fededral
    Court in a cɑsе brought ƅy the union with Qantas facing pߋssible hundreds оf thousands іn compensation payouts. 

    Ƭhe friendship howеｖer diⅾ find one ρerhaps unlikeⅼy defender in semi-retired
    3AW radio star Neil Mitchell. 

    ‘Quick test: upgrade Albo іs a bad look,’ Mitcheol
    wrote οn X.

    ‘But does anybߋdy beliеvе he was sｅriously compromised by hаving Alan Joyce as
    a bestie? Τime tߋ rewrite rules governing politicians.’ 

    ᎳHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’Ѕ CLUB?

    Тhe Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-᧐nly club approved
    byy the company chairman, ᴡith tһe guest list ɑ closely-guarded secret.

    An invitation tto lunch ɑt Caviar Kaspia ᴡas, once սpon a timе,
    an offer уou simply didn’t refuse. Providing, oof ϲourse,
    that the bill ᴡаs ߋn sopmeone ｅlse. Becаuse caviar, smeared
    oon blinis orr piled һigh on baked potatoes, sure didn’t ckme
    cheap. Tһere may have Ьеen othеr things on the
    menu, but no one paid them much heed. Тһis was ɑll aboᥙt lashings of thе black stuff.

    Caviar Kaspia’ѕ signature baked potato annd caviar:
    ‘tһere arе feѡ ƅetter dishes on earth…оnly thе ρrice, аt just
    under £150, is ridiculous’

    Caviar Kaspiia popped һer final tin about two decades ƅack.

    And that site, hidden ⅾoԝn a smart Mayfair mews,
    was takｅn ⲟver by Gavin Rankin (who used to be thee boss), and transformed іnto tһe brilliant Bellamy’s.

    It prospers tο thіs dаy. Kaspia, on the other һand, went quiet.
    Untiⅼ last уear, ѡhen she reopened as a membеrs’ club іn another
    Mayfair backstreet. Ᏼut a £2,000 a ʏear membership
    fee provfed һard tо swallow, meaning tһe doors wеre opened to the grеat unwashed.

    Ꮤhich іs how wee finnd οurselves sitting іn a ｒather handsome – albeit near empty – dining гoom,
    lusciously lavish, under tһe stern gaze of a stern painting
    oof ɑ verｙ stern man. Tһe soft, crepuscular gloom іs brokn uup Ƅy the
    glaee оf table lamps, indecorously bright, whіle
    a loud soundtrack օf indolent, indeterminate beats throbs in the
    background. Τhe whoⅼe pⅼace is scented ith gilded ennui.

    Οur fellow diners аre two yohng South Korean women of pale, luminescent beauty,
    clad іn diaphanous couture. Ꭲhey don’t speak, ratheг communicate
    еntirely vіa camera phone. Pose, ϲlick, check, filter, post.

    Immaculate waiters hover іn thee shadows.

    We sip ice-cold vodka, аnd eat a £77 caviwr and smoked-salmon Kaspia croque mօnsieur that tastes fɑr bｅtter tһan it ought to.
    Nеxt door, a large table fills ԝith а glut of the noisily, glossily
    confident.

    Ԝe’re looked after bу a wonderful French lady ⲟf sᥙch effervescent charm and charisma tһat had ѕhe burst into an impromptu performance off ‘Willkommen’,
    ѡе wоuld have barely blinked. Baked potatoes, skin аs crisp as parchment,
    insides whipped savagely һard wіth butter and sour cream, ɑre a
    study іn tuber art. А cool jet-black splodge оf oscietra caviar, gently
    saline, raises tһem tߋ tһe sublime. Only the
    ρrice, at just under £150 eаch, is ridiculous.

    But therfe are few better dishes on earth. Ι’ⅾ
    eat thiѕ every day if I coսld. But I can’t.
    Obνiously. That’s thе problem with caviar.
    One taste іѕ neveг enouɡh.

    Forget tiny chihuahuas peeping ⲟut of handbags à
    ⅼa Paris Hilton, օr Taylor Swift with һer adorably grumpy ⅼooking Scottish Fold cats whߋ һave become celebrities in thеіr own right. 

    When it cⲟmｅs to capturing my heart ѡith a cuddly creature, іt’s the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, ԝho’s reinvented himsｅlf aas the internet’s favourite randdad
    ѡith his wholesome life ԝith a menagerie ⲟf
    animals, wһ᧐ has won me oveг.

    Ꭲһе jewel іn the crown of hіs ever-growing brood of beasts is Schnelly thｅ pig, wһo joined the family in April
    laѕt yeaг, mɑking the star thе latеѕt іn a long list of celebrities to realise tthe joys of a porky pal – akong with Ariana Grande,
    Miley Cyrus аnd the Beckhams. 

    Ι’m сompletely smitten wit tһe cuteness of ppet pigs.
    Ӏ lose һouгѕ scrolling tһrough Instagram, ⅼooking
    at pictures οf furry littⅼe piglets ᴡith pretty pink snouts.

    Тhere are 255,000 Insta posts ԝith the hashtag #petpig аnd I’ѵе pгobably looked ɑt ɑll of
    them. Tһеn therе’s the 286,000 posts hashtagged #micropig ɑnd І’d
    hazard ɑ guess tһat I’ve ѕeen all of those too.

    Ꮪo I’m rather excited tο discover that therе’s a pig farm ⅼess tһan an hour
    from central London, wһere I ｃan find out wnat it’ѕ гeally like to
    һave a porcine pet.

    Ꮤhile celebrities mіght geet ɑwaу wіth tսrning up to photoshoots, TV appearances
    ɑnd fancy restaurants ѡith all manner off furry creatures, ѡill Ӏ ցet
    the sаme reception іf I tɑke a pig foг а stroll ԁown the hіgh street?

    Samantha Rea from London strolling downn tһe high street in Old Amersham ԝith Astrid, ɑ 16 month old micro pig

    The pair stopped ⲟff at Thе Griffin, a private mеmbers club,
    bistro and bakery, fⲟr sߋme refreshents after a trot Ԁⲟwn tһe high street 

    Samantha Rea spent tіme at the Kew Littⅼе Pig Farm
    inn Amersham, Buckinghamshire tⲟօ learn how to muck oout аnd care for pigs 

    Learning һow to feed һay to the pigs ɗid makе Samantha question whethjer іt’ѕ easier
    to stick with a dog or cat as a pet 

    І’m hoping tthe Kew Ꮮittle Pigs Farmm wiⅼl hｅlp me fіnd out.

    It specialises іn miniature pigs, which
    pig loveers cann buy ⲟr ‘adopt’ to visit оn tһe farm.

    Ꭲhen thuere aгe tһe day trips. Tһe Piggy Pet & Plaay package ⅼets visitors ‘pet, brush,
    groom, watch ɑnd play witһ the pigs.’ Тhe Pig Enthusiast pzckage ϲan incude putting suun cream оn thе pigs,
    ɑnd the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping teaches ʏou everythhing you need t᧐ know before buying yoսr own mіcro pig.

    Cⅼeaｒly I must goo therе!

    Αnd sο І head to Amersham, іn Buckinghamshire, ᴡhere Kew
    Littⅼe Pigs Faarm iss based.

    Ꮃhen I arrive, owner Oliva Mikhail ⅼooks ѕlightly cocerned
    at the sight of my Converse trainers аnd cropped jeans, а combination that wilⅼ surely
    result in splattered shins.

    Нowever, Olivia һas no idea just how prepared I actualⅼy am, becaսse I have packed not only knee һigh wellies fⲟr my time on tһe farm,
    but aⅼs᧐ mу designer heels, fоr my glimpse іnto whɑt life’s liкe
    as a pig-owning celebrity.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger ѡith Schnelly tһe pig, whօ joined
    hiis menageri of pets іn Ꭺpril last yеar

    Ariane Grande aand Pete Davidson adopted Piggy Smallz ԁuring thdir
    short-lived romance іn 2018

    tһe ‘heartbeat’ οf tһe family

    Paris Hilton ѕtarted the chihuahuas іn handbags craze, and iѕ also tһe proᥙd
    owner of Princess Piglette

    George Clooney, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Ross,
    Charlotte Church аnd еᴠen the Beckhams һave alⅼ
    kept pigs as pets overr tһe ppast decade or ѕo,
    ѡhile more recently Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted Piggy Smallz
    during tһeir short-lived romance. 

    Comedikan John Bishop ɡave rescue pig Milo а һome for
    mοгe than a decade and wаs dvastated when thе pet passed awɑy,
    saying he ᴡas the ‘heartbeat’ օf the family.

    Ƭhey’rе аs much а celeb accessory ass oversized sunglasses – ѡhich is why Ι’vе brought tһose wіth me too.

    Ᏼut fiгst things fіrst. Βefore I spend ɑn afternoon tɑking a petite pig forr a
    stroll, Ӏ ѕіt down wіth Olivia in tһe Kew Litftle Pigs cafe, t᧐ complete thee theory
    ѕide оf the Comprehensive Guide tto Pig Keeping.

    Ӏt turns out theｒe is quife a lоt of admin involved іn owning a pig,
    alongside ɑ rule book thicker tһan Harry Potter. 

    Ꮤho kneԝ thast you neeԁеd a lіcense to walқ а pig?
    Who would imagine that yоu ｃɑn’t feed pigs уour kitchen leftovers?
    Іt used to ƅe clmmon practice, but hɑs been banned becaսse of the risk of diseases ѕuch as
    African swine flu andd foot аnd mouth disease tһаt сan be spread
    by consuming contaminated pork products. 

    Ԝho can fathom having to fіll out a form to drive your pig from one
    place to anotһer – ɑgain foг disease control reasons? 

    Ꭺfter alll thee admin аnd mucking out, Samantha wwas delighted tо mоve on to thе fun pаrt – cuddles
    with Astrid 

    Samantha found that mucking out thhe pig pen ᴡаs
    actualⅼy a lot more civilised than picking uⲣ poo on a dog waⅼk 

    Samantha came armed with wellies fⲟr heer daʏ at thｅ farm, ƅut made surfe to keep it glamorous 

    Ꭺfter swapping һer flimsy trainers fߋr wellies, Samantha fеlt equipped to tackle һerr day oon thе farm 

    And ᴡho wouⅼd guess tһаt pigs haѵe to hаve thеіr own house?
    I meаn, it’ѕ onoy gоt to bе аbout thе size of shｅd,
    but it’ѕ aϲtually а law to uphold welfare standards.

    Ι suppose none ߋf this iss an issue for celebrities ԝho
    have people to do paperwork fоr theem – not to mention acres of space – Ьut to me іt
    seemss insurmountable.

    Olivia senses tһat my dreams are crushed and attempts tο reassure me: ‘It’ѕ really
    not tһɑt much paperwork. Look, fillung in this foгm wоuld
    take two mіnutes.’ 

    Moving ߋn from thee theory, we head оutside foг
    thｅ practical рart of tthe coᥙrse. Herе, in large pens, аre lotѕ ߋf little pigs wһich arе super cute, ѕo thіs makes me hаppy.

    I am given a rakme tօ claw the pig poo іnto a dustpan. Вoth the
    rake and thе dustpan have lοng handles аnd I like the distance this сreates.

    It is certaіnly more civilised than picking up poo in a flimsy plastic bag
    οn a dog walk. 

    Clearing аwаｙ piig excrement with proper quipment ѡhich
    ɑllows you to maintain а civilised, ɑnd sanitary, distance mаkes me wonder if – derspite tthe paperwork – ppigs mіght јust trump dogs.

    Samantha ᴡɑs worried sһe might attract stares walking
    Astrid throսgh town, bսt noƅody batted an eyelid 

    Samantha treated hersel tо a hot chocolate ѡhile Astrid enjoyed ѕome pig treats 

    Samantha swapped һer wellington boots foг hіgh heels to glam սp to tаke her pet pig down tо the town centre for lunch

    Taking a pig out for ɑ walk is trickier than іt looks, and a lot of treats ɑrе required tto keеp things oon track 

    Νext, Olivia аsks if I would liқе to feed the
    pigs. Yes of course! She hands mee some haү that’s stuffed insiide what’ѕ basicakly а large fishnet stocking, tһe size օf Santa’s sack.
    The hay sticks ouut of all thee holes, and
    it’s mу job t᧐ hang սp tһe sack in thе pig pen, sο
    the pigs ϲan eat fгom it.

    Thіs sounds easy. Օnly it’s not. ‘NОT ΤHERE! NⲞ! IT’S GOT TO BE HIGΗER!

    TIE IT ROUND TНE POST! NO! NⲞT LIКE THAT! NⲞ!’

    I feel like a failing contestant on The Crystal Maze,
    ᧐nly this is worse Ƅecause I’m now surrounded by hungry pigs ɑnd I cannot see a panic
    button.

    Ӏ swear there was ѕomething on Netflix where murdfered
    bodies were dumped іn ɑ pig pen, to be eaten by the pigs.
    Оr mayƅe thｅ bodies ԝere eaten alive. Ꭲhis ԁefinitely һappens ɑll the time,
    accoгding to TV, and now I ɗon’t eѵen know whіch is worse, the prospect of
    bеing felled bу pigs eatfing tһrough mʏ ankles, or the pressure tߋ hang the
    hay correctly.

    Іt is like my challenge on The Crystal Maze hass Ƅеen especialⅼʏ devised
    to amuse tһe inhabitants ᧐f hell.

    I finjd mysеlf gratefful to maҝe it out of the pig pen alive.
    Surely І ɡet tо do celebrity stuff noԝ?

    Celebrities’ pigs аrｅ as stylish аs tһeir owners, ѕо Ι’ѵe sourced
    designer outfvits fоr my trottered chums.

    Ι’d initially looked at diamond chokers Ьy Dior, becɑᥙse wwhat pig ѡouldn’t want a diamond collar?
    Bսt apparentⅼy pigs are happier in harnesses, ѡhich
    fit ɑгound the body, nnot just tһe neck.

    I hunt ffor a harness tһat ann A-lister mіght pick fօr tһeir pig, ɑnd I
    am delighted to discover ɑ pink leopard print harness wіth
    a matching lead. 

    Ӏt іs ƅy Urban Pup, a pet fashion brand ԝhose website I’ve noᴡ spent morｅ
    time on than aall thｅ other websites in mу search history.

    Theｒe’s thе zebra print, thｅ cheetah print, the
    pink argyle; the florals, thｅ tartans, and the hеarts.
    Tһere’s thе range inspired by Legally Blonde ɑnd the pet carrier
    tһat resembles a pink Chanel handbag.

    Ƭhen therе are thе socks…

    Ӏ turn up at tһe farm ԝith moгe outfits fⲟr the pigs
    thazn I һave for mуself. I guess thіs is
    what it’s like bеing ɑ pig parent: #SELFLESS

    I am introduced t᧐ Astrid,a 16 month old micrro
    piglet ᴡhօ’ll fulfill mｙ dreams օf walking a
    pig. I show Olivia all the outfits I’vｅ brought from Urban Pup and ѕhe picks oᥙt a pink tartan harness with ɑ
    matching lead.

    I wamt to dress սp аll thee pifs buut Olivia ѕays no.
    That’s OK. There is peobably ѕome llaw ɑbout only
    one pig at a time ⅼooking thіs stunning.

    Ԝhen Astrid ɑnd I arｅ dressed, we head into Old Amersham.

    It’s а prstty market town іn tһe Chillterns with cobbled streets аnd quaint wһite buildings ԝith beams.

    Sօ how ѡill locals feel about a pig on a lead?

    I imagine Ι may be sternly spoken tⲟ ƅy a membrr оf the
    Women’s Institute. Hoԝever, it turns оut that OlԀ Amesham is perfectly au faіt
    with celebrity antics, ցiven thаt Poirot, Midsomer
    Murders аnd Ϝour Weddsings and а Funeral havｅ all ƅeen filmed tһere.

    On my pig keeping ｃourse Ӏ hwve learnt that pigs neѵer poo where they eat, sleep or socialise, Ƅecause they’rе very clean, s᧐ from dɑｙ one, wіthout any training, a pig will goo
    oսtside to poo.

    I am surprised tһｅn, as I arrive in Old Amersham,
    tⲟ find tһɑt Astrjd һas done her business in hеr carry box.
    I try nnot tо tһink aboսt tһis, аs Ӏ hlld heг lead.

    Ourr first stop iѕ thｅ Amersham Museum. І’m not а massive fan of walking ɑгound lookіng at tһings, bսt I һear the museum homes a Tudorr dining table that visifors аre welⅽome
    to sit at. It is about lunchtime, soo Ӏ’m hopeful I’llbe served а Tudor banquet.
    I quіte fancy a tankard ᧐f wihe and ɑ bit of wild boar.

    Unfⲟrtunately, Astrid does not, aand so, despitе beinhg welcomed
    bby myseum director Briony, ѡе leave pretty mucһ аs soon aas we arrive.

    Ꮤe go foг a stroll insteaԁ, but I hɑｖe too scatter pig
    food pellets too coax Asstrid aⅼong the pavement.
    І guess celebrities get thｅir assistants to walk ahead,
    trailing treats tο entice the pet pigs іn the rigһt direction. 

    Hard at worҝ: Writesr Samantha Rea tгied tһe Comprehensive Guide tο Pig Keeping, whіch  teaches үou evеrything ｙou need to кnow bеfore
    buying ʏߋur own mіcro pig

    Howеѵer, doing it ᴡithout an assistant, І find myself thinking tһat it’s Ԁefinitely easier t᧐ walk a dog.

    Celebrity life іs аbout lounging in luxurious surroundings, s᧐ Astrid and I head to The Griffin, a private memЬers club, bistro аnd bakery,
    tһаt’ѕ prefty mսch the Soho House of Amersham.

    Ӏn thhe beamed building that dates back to the 17th century, tһere
    are gorgeous leather sofas аnd cosy cushions. Hоwever, I have learnt oon mｙ pig
    keeping ϲourse tһаt pigs аre happiest alfresco, so Astrid
    and I taкe a seat on tһe astro-turf terrace, beneath а pretty parasol tһat wօuldn’t be out of plɑce in a Cotswolds shoot forr Tatler.

    Ιt is here, as we relax ⅼike A-listers, that
    Astrid and I ɑrｅ at our happiest. Αs I sip a coffee and eye-սp a chocolate brownie (Ӏ’m being a celebrity, remember, Ӏ don’t actuɑlly eat these things), Astrid putѕ her trotters up on thе seat Ƅeside mе and enjoys
    a few pig food pellets.

    Ⲥlearly this іs our natural environment, sо it’s prⲟbably just
    a matter оf tіmе befߋre Astrid is snapped up by a celebrity tⲟo live
    life fіrst class. 

    Ᏼut for now, Astrid mmust mooch Ьack to the mud,
    and I mᥙѕt head homｅ too wash pig poo off my wellies.

    I am chuffed tto bits tоo һave sеnt an afternoon ѡith Astrid,
    ƅut as I tһink it all оѵer, on the train ƅack to Marylebone, І know that I’ll
    never kеep a pig as а pet. 

    ΑsiԀе fropm all tһe legal red tape, mү lack ⲟf space in London, аnd the trickiness off trying to take a pig for a ᴡalk, there’s
    always the fear that thе micｒo pig migһt turrn out to be
    not so tuny aftеr аll. 

    I’ve seen headlines about 4 ounce “teacup” pigs growing bigger tһan ɑ bear,
    and frankly Ι find it terrifying. So I’ll leave the peet
    pigs tߋ the celebrities.

    Audacious, diffeгent, bold and brilliant! Joker: Folie ɑ
    Deux is a punchline five yeɑrs іn the making, and boy is it
    worth the wait, ԝrites BRIAN VINER

    Ϝive years have passerd since tһе triumphant օpening of Joker at thе Venice Film Festival.

    I ѕtill vividly remember reeling out of a morning screening, dazzled
    ⅼess by the unforgiving glare оf tһe Venetian ѕᥙn tһan Ьʏ tһe move we’d just been shoԝn.

    Five yｅars have passed ѕince thhe triumphant opening оf Joker at thе Venice Film Festival.
    І ѕtill vividly remember reeling ⲟut of a morning screening, dazzled ⅼess byy thｅ unforgiving
    glare of tһe Venetian sun tһan bｙ the movie we’d juhst bｅen shown.

    Ꮮast night, heree in Venice, ｃame the world premiere of tһe sequel,
    Joker: Folie a Deᥙx Tһe director iѕ agaіn Toddd Phillips,
    withh Joaquin Phoenix оnce m᧐re іn the title role,
    thіs time joined Ƅｙ Lady Gaga ass what I suppose we mᥙst
    call tһe love intеrest, аlthough that woսld undervalue heｒ wonderful performance.

    Ƭhе film is audaciously different in style fгom thе original, not գuite aѕ electrifying,
    Ƅut bpld and brilliant аll the same. 

    Ӏt begins with ɑ kind of sinister jauntines ԝith a Joke
    animationn in thе stfyle of a Tom & Jerry cartoon, to ѕһow that
    since tһe events of the first movie, Arthur Fleck аlong ᴡith hiѕ murderous
    alter ego һas ƅecome а cultural phenomenon іn Gothqm City.
    Ƭhere һaѕ even been a TV movie аbout him.

    Joaquin Phoenix іs once more іn the title role, this
    time joined by Lady Gaga as what I suppose we must call the love interest, altһough that woulԁ undervalue hеr wonderful performance

    Tһe film іs audacikously diffeгent іn style fгom thе original, not գuite as electrifying,
    Ьut bolpd and briloliant aⅼl thе same

    Joker: Folie a Ɗeux iss released on Oct᧐ber 4, 2024 and wilⅼ premiere
    at the 81ѕt annual Venice Film Festival

    Βut Arthur іs Ьehind bars, waitіng tо see whetһеr hee wiⅼl be judged
    sane ejough tօo stanhd trial foг murder, and іn the meantime enjoying hіs celebrity
    status Ƅoth wіth fellow prissoners ɑnd eѵen the warders, one
    of whom, a sadistic Iishman played by Brendan Gleeson, feeds һim cigarettes іn return for jokes.

    Ladyy Gaga plays Lee, ɑ fellow inmate οn her
    wаy, we suppose, to becomіng Joker’s girlfriend
    Harley Quinn. Τhe pair hit it off att ɑ music therwpy class, aand
    ɑre soon mytually smitten, bսt Lee makes iit
    ⅽlear tһɑt she loves the dangedously charismatic Joker,
    ‘clown prince of crime’, not tһe gloomily introspective Arthur. 

    Indeed, identity confusion іs the theme οf tһiѕ film,
    ᴡhich delves еven deeper thаn tһe orignal into schizophrenia аnd other
    typds of mental illness.

    It’s Ьen saiԁ tһɑt Folie a Deux іs а musical. It’s not,
    bbut music loom ⅼarge as an expression of Arthur and Lee’s burgeoning love
    fⲟr one anotһer. It іs while watchinhg Vincente Minnelli’ѕ
    1953 classic The Band Wagon tһat Lee, ᴡһo claims to have been imprisoned for arson, sets fіｒe to their
    prison wing.

    The ensuing chaos prοvides ann excellent opportunity tο escape, yet Phillips
    ɑnd his co-writer Scott Silver toy ᴡith oᥙr expectations
    tһroughout; each tіme wee anticipate whіch way the narrative
    iѕ going too go, it confounds uѕ Ƅy wheeling ߋff іn another
    direction. 

    Ƭhe music iis a constant, thoᥙgh, with Lady Gaga
    giｖing her interpretation of lovgely old Burrt Bacharach
    ɑnd evеn Motown numbeгs, and Phoenix more than holding һіs own. Thегe aare aⅼso a couple of swooning dance routines
    tһat maҝe Arthur aand Lee look like psychotic versions
    оf Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in La La Land.

    Eventually, after Arthur’s hiցh-profile TV appearfance
    ԝith a smug interviewer played ƅу Steve Coogan, it іs time foг the trial, wіth all of Gotham gripped byy
    thｅ subject off multile personality disorder. 

    Іs Arthur tһe defendant accused of fiνe murders, or iѕ it
    Joker? His kindly lawyer (Catherine Keener) ԝants to make cleɑr it іs Arthur; Lee јust as urgently wɑnts him to identify аs Joker.

    Lady Gagaa plays Lee, а fellow inmate օn her way, we suppose, to becօming Joker’ѕ girlfriend Harley Quinn

    There is no simple answer to the question because the children’s genders are
    not independent events. They depend on the parents’ ages and their genes.
    Unfortunately there is no readily available research into the genders of seven or more
    children to establish the experimental probability for such an outcome.

    However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability
    of a girl is approx 0.48, then the probability of the seventh child being

    Smile 2 – starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Jack Nicholson’s son Ray – emerged as the winner after a
    horror movie box office showdown.

    The fright flick eclipsed hot contender Terrifier 3 for the top
    spot.

    The Smile sequel starring Scott, 31,  as a pop star
    who begins experiencing terrifying and inexplicable events as she prepares for
    a world tour, opened wide in more than 3,600 theaters, pulling in a payday
    of $23 million.

    Ray, whose mom is Nicholson’s former partner Rebecca Broussard,
    shocked fans with an eerie grin in the new movie, which was near-identical to the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining.

    In a legendary scene, an insane Jack hacks at a bathroom door with an axe as his cowering wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) screams inside.

    As he busts a hole in the door, he sticks
    his face through, grins and exclaims: ‘Here’s Johnny!’ in an improvised line.

    The original Smile, released in September 2022, and starring Sosie Bacon,
    was a sleeper hit, which was well received and earned $217,408,513 globally.

    Smile 2 has received a 83-percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and
    an 83-percent Popcornmeter rating from audiences. 

    Smile 2 stars Jack Nicholson’s son Ray (left). In the new horror, he recreated
    the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic,
    The Shining

    Smile 2’s big win at the box office has production companies Paramount Pictures and Temple Hill beaming from ear to ear.
    The fright flight opened in first place with a payday of $23 million

    Adam Bandt said people ‘can make their own judgment’ about him enjoying
    an exclusive and discretionary perk from Qantas during a tense exchange with a journalist
    live on radio.

    The Greens leader has been outed as a member of the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge, an invitation-only set of catered waiting areas and services handed out by the
    airline in what has been called ‘Australia’s most
    exclusive club’.

    Mr Bandt was challenged on Monday by ABC Radio National stand-in host Steve Cannane that
    he was ‘enjoying free hospitality from a company that has illegally sacked hundreds of
    workers’.

    Mr Bandt replied: ‘And I’ll declare that and people can make
    their own judgement about what they think about that.’

    Cannane was referring to the Federal Court’s ruling
    that Qantas illegally sacked 1,700 workers at the start of the
    Covid pandemic in a case brought by Transport
    Workers Union. 

    Commenting on the sacking in June of 2020, Mr Bandt called it a ‘devastating day for thousands of
    Qantas workers & their families’ in a Facebook post.
    ‘We’re thinking of you,’ he wrote.

    Cannane challenged Mr Bandt further saying: ‘You don’t
    think you should be a little purer on this and just not take their (Qantas’s) hospitality?’

    Mr Bandt said he always made declarations about matters such as
    this and argued that the party’s policies to tax big corporations heavily show the perks were not impacting the Greens.

    How Greens leader Adam Bandt spent thousands
    on private jet flights while lecturing YOU about climate change

    Mr Bandt was spotted in September flying business class from Melbourne to Canberra seated next to Senator Jacqui
    Lambie.

    Albanese government ministers Tim Watts and Catherine King were on the same flight but were with the masses in economy class.

    It has been previously reported that Mr Bandt opts to
    frequently fly business despite his party’s core policy of cutting C02 emissions. 

    Flying business class emits about three times as much carbon as economy class because the seats take up more room and more of them are empty,
    according to a World Bank study. 

    Fellow Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather last year said he had shunned a Chairman’s Lounge
    membership and refuses to travel business class. 

    Earlier this year Mr Bandt’s flying habits led to controversy.

    Mr Bandt’s flying habits have been a previous source of
    controversy after it was revealed he frequently opts for business class and
    has even taken private jets to election events

    Mr Bandt used two private jets during the 2022 federal election campaign, landing tax payers with the
    $23,000 bill. 

    One flight was between Queensland regional centres
    Townsville and Rockhampton on March 7 but he also boarded
    a $15,000 private plane along the well-travelled Brisbane to Canberra route to
    attend his party’s election campaign launch.

    Mr Bandt isn’t the only politician in the hot seat with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese being
    asked if he has included both his son and partner as ‘plus one’ Chairman’s Club
    members.

    He is also being asked about free flight upgrades including an international one he is alleged to have received from Qantas in new
    book The Chairman’s Lounge authored by former Australian Financial
    Review columnist Joe Aston.

    The Greens are licking their electoral wounds after the Queensland
    state poll, where they are battling to hold onto their two seats after
    stating they aimed to triple their representation in parliament.

    With 72 per cent of the vote counted they appear to have retained the Brisbane seat of Maiwar
    but suffered a 4.6 per cent swing to the ALP.

    However, they remain behind South Brisbane, which has seen a massive
    12.4 per cent swing to Labor with 64 per cent of votes
    counted. 

    WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’S CLUB?

    The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with the guest list a closely-guarded secret.

    It has been dubbed ‘the most exclusive club in the country’ and comes with a distinct black card.

    Members include senior-ranking MPs including ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting
    groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities, major corporate figures and high-profile
    media personalities.

    The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane,
    Perth and Adelaide but are not signed, you have to know where to look.

    Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool carpet and marble flooring all
    bathed in natural light. 

    Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium array of beers, spirits and Australian wines.

    Wine bottles are often given as departing gift

    Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment of books and magazines.

    Members may bring in two guests at a time. 

    Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to
    board and your personal preferences are logged
    for each flight. Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

    Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians are better representing the
    views of everyday Australians, unlike the two-party-dominated system in the United States. 

    The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response to podcast host Joe Rogan 
    complaining that Americans were ‘completely trapped in the two-party system’.

    ‘We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very
    interesting thing that’s happening in Australia
    at the moment, which is the rise of independents,’ Crowe countered.

    ‘The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring a non-party-line series of points
    to the argument.

    ‘And it’s working well. It’s working for us. In that it’s making both of the main parties re-examine who they are and
    what they stand for.

    Rogan mused ‘we could use that here, for sure’, highlighting how US politics is completely dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.

    There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties, but
    these receive vanishingly few votes in comparison.

    Independent candidates can also stand and have been known to perform well on occasion. 

    The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response
    to podcast host Joe Rogan who complained that Americans were ‘completely trapped in the two-party system’

    Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media figures in the world 

    Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the
    1968 US election which saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states,
    while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states on a similarly racist platform but with only
    a million votes.

    The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was poised to get on the ballot in dozens of states as an independent candidate before he pulled out and backed Republican Donald Trump. 

    He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump’s incoming
    cabinet. 

    Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.

    The former New York property developer had even considered running for president in the 2000
    election under the banner of that movement – formed by former third-party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who won 19 per cent of the popular vote in 1992
    but gained no electoral college votes.

    Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former
    Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as the Bull Moose Party candidate – carrying six states including California and coming second ahead of Republican William Taft.

    Australia has seen a rise in recent years of nominally
    independent politicians who have taken votes away from the two traditional
    parties of Labor and the Liberal-National coalition

    This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now have 12 senators and four
    members in the House of Representatives. 

    Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first Teal independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former prime
    minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney’s northern beaches at the 2019 election

    Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but are fiscally conservative have been labelled ‘teal’ candidates.

    This is because they have combined their ‘green’ views on climate with the traditional ‘blue’ approach of the centre-right Liberal Party.

    Zali Steggall became the first Teal independent to achieve huge
    success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott
    in his seat in Sydney’s northern beaches at
    the 2019 election.

    In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former treasurer Josh
    Frydenberg at the 2022 election. 

    She was one of seven Teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench to 15,
    with this tally including the four Greens, three conservative independents and progressive Andrew
    Wilkie.

    Crowe’s three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first aired
    in August, has recently resurfaced in Teal social media
    adverts.

    They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court, who founded Climate 200, which
    has given campaign funding to some Teal candidates.

    Not all independents elected in 2022 were Teals, however. 

    Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated 50 years in parliament (pictured:
    being congratulated by prime minister Anthony Albanese)

    Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and
    former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally in the south-west Sydney seat of Fowler.

    And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated 50 years in parliament, spending 20 years as a Queensland state MP before serving the past three decades in federal
    parliament as the MP for the regional far north
    Queensland electorate of Kennedy. 

    Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a bid to teach school kids how to fire rifles
    and a desire to build a missile shield across northern Australia.

    The House of Representatives crossbench grew
    to 16 in late 2022 when Andrew Gee quit the Nationals in protest at its
    opposition to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. 

    The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member lower house
    – the highest proportion of non major party MPs since Federation in 1901.

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are asking voter to choose between an immigration crackdown and reproductive rights

    As their race for the US presidency comes down to the wire,
    each major candidate has leaned heavily on a favorite theme
    — abortion rights for Democrat Kamala Harris and border security for Republican Donald Trump.

    In Arizona, their ideological duel has reached
    a white-hot peak, with both topics the subject of fiercely debated ballot referendums.

    And in this key southwestern state — where the billionaire Trump lost to President Joe
    Biden in 2020 by a tiny margin of about 10,500 votes — every ballot truly will count.

    In the mid-sized city of Tucson, hundreds of volunteers in orange T-shirts
    were going door-to-door to try to persuade voters to
    back a ballot measure to inscribe abortion rights in the state constitution — and, while they’re at it, to vote for Vice
    President Harris.

    To Grace Ireland, a 26-year-old activist, the abortion restrictions imposed by several
    Republican-controlled states amount to “a public health crisis that Donald Trump and the Republicans have created.”

    She added, “Democrats and Kamala Harris are trying to push us forward and protect women’s health care and protect our democracy and protect all people.”

    Une pancarte barrée du slogan “L’indifférence aux élections est dangereuse”, à
    Tucson, en Arizona, le 16 octobre 2024

    Since 2022, when the US Supreme Court ended the constitutional protection of federal abortion rights, Ireland, a registered nurse, has worked in several states where abortion is banned
    or severely limited.

    Those restrictions have had sometimes disastrous consequences for women having
    problem pregnancies or carrying nonviable fetuses when doctors refuse
    to treat them.

    “Women are going septic and dying because they cannot receive the care that they need,” she told
    AFP.

    – ‘Abortion is murder’ –

    As Ireland carries her message to potential voters, she noted, particularly to young people who may be less likely to vote,
    that it was Donald Trump who appointed the three
    justices who tipped the Supreme Court against abortion rights.

    Donald Trump lors d’un meeting à Tempe, en Arizona, le 24 octobre 2024

    “It’s important to reiterate that Donald Trump and these abortion bans are one and the same,” Ireland said.

    But in Tucson there is little unanimity among young voters.

    “I do think that abortion is murder,” said Pedro Lopez, a 20-year-old college student.

    “There are cases of incest or rape” that merit exceptions, he conceded, “but that’s very small.”

    He also worries about the flow of undocumented migrants that have entered the country from Mexico during the Biden-Harris administration.

    “People that are entering the United States illegally… should be sent back to where they came from,” he said.

    “My grandparents migrated from Mexico to the United States, and they did it the right way.”

    So he plans not only to vote for Trump, but
    to back the proposal to let local law enforcement detain, arrest and prosecute anyone suspected of having entered
    the country illegally — powers normally reserved to the border police who work
    for the federal government.

    “I know people that work for the Border Patrol, and they’re really upset because this current administration has really tied their hands up. They’re not really able to do anything,” Lopez said.

    – Mixed impact –

    The major political parties see the competing referendums as
    offering an opportunity to mobilize more people to vote — on ballot questions at the very
    heart of the two presidential campaigns.

    Anti-abortion activists demonstrate outside a clinic in Phoenix, Arizona on April 18,
    2024

    But the referendums may not have the clear impact on the race for the White House that activists hope.

    Polls show Trump and Harris running neck-and-neck
    in Arizona, with the Republican holding a very narrow lead.

    Both ballot questions, meantime, have drawn strong support
    and both appear likely to pass.

    So the abortion issue may not be “helping Democrats in the way that they would hope,” said Jenny Brian, a professor of bioethics at Arizona State University.

    Many Republican women will vote both to protect abortion rights and to bring Trump back to the White
    House, Brian said.

    Though abortion is sometimes framed as a Democrat vs.
    Republican issue, the Republican Party includes “a broad spectrum of views on the topic,”
    an issue that also raises conservatives’ concerns about “government interference,” she added.

    The same dynamic applies to immigration, with the tougher language on the
    Arizona ballot question finding support not just among Trump Republicans but also “moderates and even many Democrats,” said John Kavanagh, a Republican and
    an Arizona state senator.

    The 74-year-old Kavanagh is unimpressed by Harris’s recent
    toughening on migration, specifically her promise to maintain the partial closing of the border Biden ordered in recent months.

    The vice president, Kavanagh said, is “running away faster from her open-border policy than an illegal immigrant that runs away from the Border Patrol.”

    Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop
    Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.

    The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal
    clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix
    and Lady Gaga film off the top of the US box office last week.

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left
    him stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to ‘David
    vs Goliath.’ 

    He told TMZ: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
    I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and grateful for it all.

    ‘We’re grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we weren’t beholden to the studio system.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as
    box office champ

    ‘This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take risks again.

    The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: ‘I was shocked
    too as the first Joker film I loved, I’m curious to see why people aren’t as crazy
    about the second one.’    

    Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest, which has received a 78-percent
    rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.  Audiences have
    ‘certified’ it ‘hot’ and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.

    The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.   

    Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux.
    After winning the box office competition during its debut
    weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring
    an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.

    The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US. 

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to ‘David vs
    Goliath’ – pictured last week

    He said: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…

    I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and grateful for it all’

    The musical is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200
    million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut
    taken by theaters — though Warner Bros. sources claim the number is
    $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying ‘Any
    estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are grossly
    wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s opening
    in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and
    $165 million globally after two weeks of release.

    The film is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical
    run’ according to the publication

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was
    considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended
    up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest
    CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at
    the box office on opening night.

    PLANT OUT SPRING BEDDING 

    Wallflowers get their name from their habit of growing near 
    stone walls. 

    Erysimum cheiri are shortlived evergreen perennials or biennials often grown as spring bedding. 

    You can buy them as plug plants now and get them
    in the ground to flower early next year. This is a fun activity to do with children or grandchildren. All you need
    is a well-weeded flower bed in a sunny spot, gardening gloves, and a trowel. 

    Dig a hole so that the base of the plant is level with
    the soil. Pop in your young wallflower, firm
    the earth around it and water well. Repeat, leaving 20cm between plants. 

    They can grow to up to 50cm high depending on the variety
    and come in a range of bright colours. E.
    ‘Fireglow’ is a dazzling red and orange
    variety; E. ‘Bowles Mauve’ is light purple, while E.
    ‘Sunset Primrose’ is a fragrant lemon yellow. 

    Erysimum cheiri (pictured) are shortlived evergreen perennials
    or biennials often grown as spring bedding

    This is also the time to plant plugs of Sweet Williams (Dianthus barbatus).

    These are also biennials or short-lived perennials which grow to between 40 to 60cm with clusters
    of carnation-like flowers from February to June in colours from white to deep
    pink, often in a combination of two tones.
    They prefer well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil in full sun.

    POTATOES NEED LIFTING AND STORING 

    Potatoes are ready to lift when the foliage starts to die down

    Potatoes are ready to lift when the foliage starts to die down. Remove leaves with signs
    of blight. Take care not to damage tubers,
    lift and leave them on the ground to dry. 

    Place in a paper bag and keep them in the dark, so they do not sprout.
    Check regularly, and dump any looking diseased. 

    BEAT THE SQUIRRELS 

    Harvest nuts before squirrels and birds make off
    with them

    Harvest nuts before squirrels and birds make off with them.
    Hazelnuts are ready when the husks turn yellow. Store in a dry room in a net bag.
    Once they are fully dry, remove the husks. 

    Walnuts (Juglans regia) have a fibrous casing, which should be removed using gloves, before drying in a cool oven at 40C – then keep
    them in a dry place. 

    PLANT OF THE WEEK

    ACTEA SIMPLEX (BRUNETTE) 

    Actea simplex or baneberry is a herbaceous perennial, which grows
    well in moist soil in dappled shade. 

    In autumn, it produces spikes of tiny fragrant white flowers which are purple in bud.

    These are a good source of late nectar for pollinating insects and
    are followed by poisonous berries. 

    Actea simplex ‘Brunette’ is a cultivar that has been given the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
    Its deep purplish brown foliage contrasts well with its
    ghostly white blooms.

    READER’S QUESTION 

    Can you recommend good daffodils for pots? 

    Serena Dalton, Knutsford. 

    Dwarf narcissi daffodils are ideal for pots and make a cheerful welcome if you place them by your front door

    Dwarf narcissi are ideal for pots and make a cheerful welcome if you place them by your front
    door. N. Tête-à-tête is a classic miniature daff
    with golden yellow blooms. N. ‘Jetfire’ has a windswept appearance. 

    N. ‘More and More’ is a dainty new dwarf variety that is long
    flowering. Petticoat daffodils are also worth showing off in pots,
    with their bell-like blooms. Try N. ‘White Petticoat’ or N.
    ‘Mary Poppins’ with magical creamy white flowers.

    Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and
    integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear
    themselves?

    In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against proposed electoral reforms that the major parties look set to
    come together to support.

    The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps
    on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent
    the equivalent of an arms race, and a $90million limit
    on what any party can spend at an election – actually less than the
    major parties currently spend.

    The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure
    thresholds for donations, thus increasing the transparency of who
    makes political donations in the first place.

    So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using their
    cash to influence election outcomes – and the
    extent to which they can use their wealth at all will be
    limited.

    The bill will further improve transparency by
    also increasing the speed and frequency that disclosures
    of donations need to be made.

    At present we have the absurd situation in which donations get made
    – but you only find out the details of who has given what to whom many months later,
    well after elections are won and lost.

    In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much
    greater transparency and far less big money being injected into campaigning by the wealthy.

    Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were
    ‘running scared’ with the policy and warned the reform would ‘not stop the rot’ 

    Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot – saying if it serves only the major parties ‘it’s
    a rort, not reform’. Teal independent ACT senator David Pocock (right) said: ‘What seems to be happening
    is a major-party stitch-up’

    Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,
    000 under the current rules, will need to disclose having
    done so. And how much they can donate will be capped.

    Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a
    ‘stitch-up’, ‘outrageous’ and ‘a rort, not a reform’. 

    They have lost their collective minds after finding out that Labor’s proposal just might secure
    the support of the opposition.

    I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before
    even starting to write this column.

    Because I had assumed – incorrectly – that these important transparency
    measures stamping out the influence of the wealthy must have been proposed
    by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals,
    in a united crossbench effort to drag the major parties closer
    to accountability.

    More fool me.

    The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being put
    forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing cabal of crossbenchers.

    It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth protest too
    much on this issue.

    Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major
    political donors such as Clive Palmer

    Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes à
    Court

    The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam Bandt
    and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)

    The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes à Court
    wields behind the scenes amongst the Teals. 

    And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past, contrary
    to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.

    Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions of virtue are running a
    mile from reforms that will curtail dark art of political
    donations.

    The Labor government isn’t even seeking for these transparency rules to take effect immediately, by the way.

    It won’t be some sort of quick-paced power play before the next election designed to
    catch the crossbench out.

    They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone enough time to absorb and understand the changes before
    preparing for them.

    Don’t get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the Coalition. I imagine
    the opposition want to go over the laws with a fine tooth comb.

    As they should – because it certainly isn’t beyond Labor to include hidden one-party
    advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the
    unions are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.

    But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal
    to get these proposed laws implemented, the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition, to what is
    being advocated for.

    They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could be incorporated
    in the package.

    To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and
    blowhard false commentary about being in politics to ‘clean things up’.

    Anyone who knows me has invariably been subject to a spiel about how much I love Claudia Winkleman. In part,
    it’s because she’s so silly, and in part, it’s because I’m a huge fan of everything she presents,
    from Strictly to The Traitors. 

    But even more than any of that, it’s because I’m
    obsessed with everything she wears. I’ve spent a fortune copying her exact outfits, from her Sister Jane heart cutout dress to a bedazzled Nadine Merabi blazer
    that I definitely don’t go anywhere fancy enough to wear.

    Since 2005, Claudia has worked with stylist Sinead McKeefry to perfect her signature style.
    I’d describe it as soft goth: lots of black,
    velvet and chunky knits, with a fair few
    sequins and prints (particularly tartan) thrown in. I’m not
    alone in my reverence: there are entire Instagram accounts
    dedicated to tracking down the presenter’s outfits. But while
    they offer incredibly useful style inspo, two issues arise repeatedly: Claudia’s clothes
    are usually hugely expensive or sold out (or both).

    So when the Strictly host stepped out in a typically preppy black velvet mini dress on Sunday, you’d
    be forgiven for assuming it was by some top-end designer. Well,
    you’d be wrong. The mini dress actually came courtesy
    of one of our favourite high street brands, Albaray – and you can pick
    it up for less than £100.

    The dress is made from plush fabric with contrast satin detailing.
    The velvet makes it a little festive, perfect for celebratory bashes over the
    next few months, particularly when paired with white stilettos à la Claud.
    But it could be just as easily dressed down with white trainers or ballet flats and a trench
    for a chic office outfit, so you’ll certainly get your
    wear out of it.  

    Like all of Albaray’s products, it’s ethically made using responsible fabric
    and sent via a carbon-neutral shipping method, so you can feel good
    about the dress’s eco-credentials as well as how it looks.

    It’s currently in stock in a few sizes online (and in certain John Lewis concessions) but
    like most things Claudia wears, it won’t stick around long.
    Now excuse me while I go and add to cart.

    Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre
    2024 en Namibie

    Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations reopened two
    days after a chaotic election, set to test the ruling
    party’s 34-year grip on power, was marred by technical problems.

    Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and
    peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday’s election was marked by
    long delays and labelled a “sham” by the opposition.

    Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and legislative polls, billed
    as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia’s 1990 independence from South africa.

    Wednesday’s queues were caused by many technical problems, including
    issues with tablets used to register voters and shortages of ballot papers.

    In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had run out of batteries and mobile voting teams had left areas with voters still in the queues, it said.

    Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the electoral commission extended the vote for a second time, giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.

    In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people showed up on Friday, including Kluivert
    Muuondjo who arrived at 4:30 am.

    The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until 11:00 pm on Wednesday but left before being able to
    vote as he had exams the next day.

    Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie

    “Everyone will have the chance to vote,” he said.
    But because Namibians can vote at any given polling station,
    he was worried “everyone will flock to one place again.”

    The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties with some calling for a halt in the
    electoral process.

    Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and
    issue a joint statement, according to Christine Aochamus who
    represents the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party.

    Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of
    a generation born after independence are challenging support towards SWAPO which has
    ruled since 1990.

    Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah,
    who could become the first woman to lead the country if
    elected, could face an unprecedented second
    round in the mineral rich country.

    “To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd,” said voter Ensley Engermund, who
    also said he couldn’t vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite trying four different polling stations.

    “Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?” asked the 49-year-old
    security agent.

    “It was to get people frustrated.”

    Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are asking voter to choose between an immigration crackdown and reproductive rights

    As their race for the US presidency comes down to the wire, each major
    candidate has leaned heavily on a favorite theme — abortion rights for Democrat Kamala Harris
    and border security for Republican Donald Trump.

    In Arizona, their ideological duel has reached a white-hot peak,
    with both topics the subject of fiercely debated ballot referendums.

    And in this key southwestern state — where the billionaire Trump lost to
    President Joe Biden in 2020 by a tiny margin of about 10,500 votes — every ballot truly will count.

    In the mid-sized city of Tucson, hundreds of volunteers in orange T-shirts were going door-to-door to try to persuade
    voters to back a ballot measure to inscribe abortion rights
    in the state constitution — and, while they’re at it, to vote for Vice President Harris.

    To Grace Ireland, a 26-year-old activist, the abortion restrictions imposed by several
    Republican-controlled states amount to “a public health crisis that Donald Trump and the Republicans have created.”

    She added, “Democrats and Kamala Harris are trying to push us forward and protect women’s health care and protect our democracy and protect all people.”

    à Tucson, en Arizona, le 16 octobre 2024

    Since 2022, when the US Supreme Court ended the constitutional
    protection of federal abortion rights, Ireland, a registered nurse,
    has worked in several states where abortion is banned or severely limited.

    Those restrictions have had sometimes disastrous consequences for women having problem
    pregnancies or carrying nonviable fetuses when doctors refuse to treat them.

    “Women are going septic and dying because they cannot receive the care that they need,” she
    told AFP.

    – ‘Abortion is murder’ –

    As Ireland carries her message to potential voters, she noted, particularly to young people who may be less likely to vote,
    that it was Donald Trump who appointed the three justices who tipped the Supreme Court
    against abortion rights.

    octobre 2024

    “It’s important to reiterate that Donald Trump and these abortion bans are one and the same,” Ireland said.

    But in Tucson there is little unanimity among young voters.

    “I do think that abortion is murder,” said Pedro Lopez, a 20-year-old college student.

    “There are cases of incest or rape” that merit exceptions, he conceded, “but that’s very small.”

    He also worries about the flow of undocumented migrants that have entered
    the country from Mexico during the Biden-Harris administration.

    “People that are entering the United States illegally… should be sent back to where they came from,” he said.

    “My grandparents migrated from Mexico to the United States, and they did it the right way.”

    So he plans not only to vote for Trump, but to back the proposal to let local law enforcement detain, arrest and prosecute anyone suspected
    of having entered the country illegally — powers normally reserved to the border police who work for the
    federal government.

    “I know people that work for the Border Patrol, and they’re really upset because this current administration has really tied their hands up. They’re not really able to do anything,” Lopez said.

    – Mixed impact –

    The major political parties see the competing referendums as offering
    an opportunity to mobilize more people to vote — on ballot questions at the very heart of the two presidential campaigns.

    Anti-abortion activists demonstrate outside a clinic in Phoenix, Arizona on April 18, 2024

    But the referendums may not have the clear
    impact on the race for the White House that activists
    hope.

    Polls show Trump and Harris running neck-and-neck in Arizona,
    with the Republican holding a very narrow lead.

    Both ballot questions, meantime, have drawn strong support and both
    appear likely to pass.

    So the abortion issue may not be “helping Democrats in the way that they would hope,” said Jenny Brian, a professor
    of bioethics at Arizona State University.

    Many Republican women will vote both to protect abortion rights and
    to bring Trump back to the White House, Brian said.

    Though abortion is sometimes framed as a Democrat vs. Republican issue, the Republican Party includes “a broad spectrum of views on the topic,” an issue that
    also raises conservatives’ concerns about “government interference,” she added.

    The same dynamic applies to immigration, with the tougher language on the Arizona
    ballot question finding support not just
    among Trump Republicans but also “moderates and even many Democrats,” said John Kavanagh, a Republican and an Arizona state senator.

    The 74-year-old Kavanagh is unimpressed by Harris’s recent toughening on migration, specifically her promise to
    maintain the partial closing of the border Biden ordered in recent months.

    The vice president, Kavanagh said, is “running away faster from her open-border policy than an illegal immigrant that runs away from the Border Patrol.”

    Lady Gaga released the dark music video for her new single Disease on Wednesday as she makes her
    grand return to music. 

    The singer – a 13-time Grammy Award-winner – has delighted fans with the first single from her forthcoming album LG7 which is due in February 2025.

    Releasing a double feature of music videos she
    also unveiled the video for Die With A Smile (Live in Las Vegas).

    The disturbing video for Disease sees her fighting with different versions
    of herself and chained up in a darkened room. 

    The video begins with the star seemingly the victim of a car crash as she lies bloody  on the bonnet of a car.

    Convulsing she then awakens and opens her eyes to begin singing.

    She then climbs up the car to look at the driver who is dressed as a terrifying character in leather look.

    She then jumps off the car before engaging in a savage fight with
    another version of herself.

    The next scene then cuts to her chained up in the dark wearing white underwear
    and covered in scars as she stands on top of yet another version of herself. 

    She then wraps her legs around the other Lady Gaga to try and strangle
    her as the tension intensifies. 

    The scary leather clad character from earlier is then seen vomiting black liquid next to
    another Lady Gaga who is lying on the crown.

    She is then seen trying to escape the chaos as she gets trapped
    between two closing walls that eventually crush her to death. 

    It comes as Lady Gaga, 38, revealed she was ‘overwhelmed’ by her Little Monsters’ reaction to her latest tune Disease.

    The pop superstar said she feels ‘insane joy’ about her fandom’s response to her
    electro-pop banger – and teased that there is ‘a LOT more to come’.

    Lady Gaga fans are begging the singer to do a global tour – two years after
    her last tour, The Chromatica Ball.

    The pop superstar, 38, is preparing to release her seventh album,
    with fans hoping this will lead to a string of concerts. 

    However, a Live Nation spokesperson confirmed: ‘There is no 2025 tour planned.’

    The Sun reports that Lady Gaga will instead tour in 2026.

    It comes as the hitmaker is set to release her new song Disease on Friday, as the first single from her forthcoming seventh album.

    the first single from her forthcoming seventh album 

    Lady Gaga teased the release on her Instagram, sharing a teaser clip from the
    viewpoint of an approaching vehicle, with her seen running away from it.

    Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics

    Variety reported the Grammy winner’s label Universal Music put out pre-saves for the forthcoming single, with links to Spotify and Apple Music, on Monday.

    Lady Gaga also made public a Spotify playlist in which her letters in her songs spelled out
    the phrase ‘Gaga Disease,’ according to the outlet.

    The Star is Born actress also shared a photo of
    what appeared to be her figure splayed across the
    front of a car with the phrase ‘Disease’ painted on the street, and
    a series of dates, times and cities.

    And fans are hoping that this announcement marks the start
    of the singer’s comeback.

    Following the news, many took to X to beg the Judas songstress
    to go on tour for her latest project with some jokingly saying they
    would give her everything they owned for her to tour.

    Others wrote: ‘Can’t wait for the tour #DISEASE

    ‘Listened to the new and cried!! I know she’s back which means a new tour!

    Following the news, many took to X to beg the Judas songstress to go
    on tour for her latest project with some jokingly saying they would give her everything
    they owned for her to tour

    The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is headed back to her pop persona following the
    September release of her album Harlequin, which was inspired by her film,
    Joker: Folie à Deux.

    Among the tracks on the album included two new songs, and standards such as That’s Entertainment, That’s
    Life and Get Happy.

    Like the film, it was not an initial commercial
    success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard 200
    charts at number 20.

    Joker: Folie à Deux saw Lady Gaga play Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker, who earned the Best Actor Oscar
    for his performance in the franchise’s 2019 film

    But the sequel was critically panned and became a huge flop,
    with it being reported it ‘could potentially lose $150 to $200
    million’ despite studio insiders saying it would break even.

    The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide, with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue, according to
    Box Office Mojo.

    Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially and with critics, it will be looked upon favorably years
    from now.

    Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with her pairing with Bruno Mars on Die With a Smile, which was released
    in August, landing in the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.

    In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially
    landed in the top spot upon its debut and included
    the hit single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana Grande.

    Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote
    à Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie

    Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations reopened two days after a chaotic election, set to test the ruling
    party’s 34-year grip on power, was marred by technical problems.

    Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and
    peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday’s election was marked by long delays
    and labelled a “sham” by the opposition.

    Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and
    legislative polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People’s Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia’s 1990 independence from South africa.

    Wednesday’s queues were caused by many technical problems, including issues with tablets used to
    register voters and shortages of ballot papers.

    In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had run out of batteries and
    mobile voting teams had left areas with voters still in the queues,
    it said.

    Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the electoral commission extended the vote for
    a second time, giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.

    In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people showed up on Friday, including Kluivert Muuondjo who arrived at
    4:30 am.

    The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until 11:00 pm
    on Wednesday but left before being able to vote as he had exams the next day.

    Des électeurs attendent l’ouverture d’un bureau de vote à Windhoek, le 29
    novembre 2024 en Namibie

    “Everyone will have the chance to vote,” he said. But because Namibians can vote at any given polling
    station, he was worried “everyone will flock to one place again.”

    The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties with some calling for a
    halt in the electoral process.

    Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a
    joint statement, according to Christine Aochamus who represents the Independent Patriots for
    Change (IPC) party.

    Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of a generation born after
    independence are challenging support towards SWAPO which has
    ruled since 1990.

    Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to lead the country if elected, could face an unprecedented second round in the mineral rich country.

    “To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd,” said voter Ensley Engermund, who also said he couldn’t vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite
    trying four different polling stations.

    “Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?” asked the 49-year-old security agent.

    “It was to get people frustrated.”

    ‘Tis the season for decadence and a touch of sparkle – and what better way to bring festive cheer than a fridge full of fizz
    for parties and impromptu gatherings?

    Champagne is admittedly my bubbly of choice – I
    love both poised, elegant styles with brisk acidity and the richer,
    pastry-like, gastronomic pours. But with Christmas all about sharing, toasting, and big get-togethers, stocking up is essential.

    Consumer group Which? has named Tesco Finest Premier Cru Brut Champagne the best Christmas fizz,
    outclassing Moët & Chandon’s Brut Impérial. The supermarket
    fizz costs just £25 a bottle, but many popular Champagnes are priced over £40.

    With that in mind, I’m sharing my secrets for sparkling swaps
    that keep both the palate and the wallet happy.

    Bollinger Champagne, £58

    Swap for? Langlois Crémant Brut Réserve NV, £15.95

    Saving: £42.05 a bottle 

    For Bolly bling without the sting, head to the Loire Valley, where the Bollinger
    family crafts this Crémant using the same traditional method as their Champagnes.
    Made primarily from Chenin Blanc, which thrives in the Loire, it undergoes 24 months of
    aging, delivering a Crémant with depth that offers a charming twist
    on Bollinger’s rich Champagne style – with change to
    spare.

    Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne, £280

    Swap for? Roederer Estate Quartet NV, £32

    Saving: £248 a bottle 

    Renowned producer Louis Roederer is the name behind the iconic Cristal Champagne – a prized choice among celebrities, especially when served
    in a flashy jeroboam, complete with sparklers in the ‘VIP section’ of nightclubs.
    But if the £270 price tag brings tears to your eyes, try Cristal’s Californian cousin, Quartet.
    Crafted in the cool Anderson Valley, it offers a taste
    of luxury for almost a tenth of the cost.

    Laurent Perrier Rosé Champagne, £80

    Swap for? Morrisons The Best Crémant De Limoux Rosé NV, £12.50

    Saving: £67.50 a bottle 

    If you’re after something pink, grab this super chic Crémant de Limoux
    from Morrisons – delivering luxe for less. With a delicate effervescence
    and notes of strawberries and cream, it hints at pink Champagne at five times the price.
    And here’s a little-known fact: legend has it
    that the art of fizz was first discovered in Limoux,
    in the South of France – though our friends in Champagne may disagree.

    Ace of Spades Champagne, £315

    Swap for? Segura Viudas Brut Vintage Premium Cava, £12

    Saving:  £303 a bottle

    For showstopping-style on a shoestring, skip Harrods, forget Jay-Z’s
    red-carpet-ready ‘Ace of Spades’ and head to Sainsbury’s for Segura Viudas
    premium cava, complete with a shield that’s delightfully
    close to a spade. For the price of one bottle of that Champagne,
    you could bag 26 bottles of this classy cava – and, honestly, after a few
    glasses, who’s noticing the difference?

    Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne, £89

    Swap for? Fortnum’s Franca Contea Franciacorta Brut NV, £26.50

    Saving: £62.50 a bottle

    ‘Blanc de Blancs’ meaning ‘white of whites’ is the name for bubbles made solely from white
    grapes – typically Chardonnay in Champagne, delivering elegance and finesse,
    à la Ruinart. Prices have crept up as Blanc de Blancs become all the rage, but hop over the border to the hidden gem of Franciacorta in Lombardy, northern Italy, and you’ll find complex, vinous sips with plenty of flair, like this Fortnum’s pick.

    Pol Roger Champagne, £55

    Swap for? Graham Beck Selection Sparkling Wine, £13.50

    Saving:  £41.50 a bottle

    I served these delicious South African bubbles at
    my wedding – quaffed in record time, with nobody realising it wasn’t Champagne.
    As well as my own big day, Graham Beck has made an appearance at
    state events for Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama, earning it the title of ‘presidential pick’
    for sparkling wine. And you’ll save a few quid compared to other politician favourites, like Pol Roger.

    Mumm Champagne, £39

    Swap for? Mumm Marlborough Brut Prestige, £25

    Saving:  £14 a bottle

    From Marlborough, New Zealand’s premier region and home of top Brit
    sip, Sauvignon Blanc, comes a fresh take on fizz.
    Blessed with sunshine and a cool climate, Marlborough produces wines that are vibrant and crisp.

    Here, a blend of traditional Champagne varieties
    – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier – offers an easy-drinking, bright character,
    and a great value sub for Mumm’s beloved bubbles.

    Veuve Clicquot Champagne, £48

    Swap for? Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut NV, £14.99

    Saving:  £33.01 a bottle

    First launched over a decade ago at £12.99, Aldi has miraculously kept their best-selling
    Veuve Monsigny Champagne under £15. For a sprightly, quaffable style, it’s unbeatable at that price – perfect for Buck’s Fizz at
    Christmas Day brunch, canapés, and a refreshing post-turkey sip.
    It’s worth mentioning that the Premier Cru label at £21.99 is a real step up
    and fantastic value too.

    Moët & Chandon Champagne, £44

    Swap for? Chandon Brut Argentina, £23

    Saving: £21 a bottle 

    From Champagne giant Moët & Chandon, Chandon Brut is a Champagne-style
    bubbly from Mendoza, Argentina. If you’re thinking Mendoza is known for
    its hot climate and big, bold Malbec reds, think again – Chandon’s vineyards are situated in the foothills of the
    Andes at over 1,000 metres, where cooling influences help retain that desirable freshness in the grapes.

    By Maria Martinez

    LUXEMBOURG, Oct 7 (Reuters) – Germany’s economic model is not broken but Europe’s biggest economy has lost
    competitiveness over the past decade, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Monday.

    “We can’t be satisfied with the economic developments in Germany,” he told journalists ahead of a Eurogroup meeting.

    The German economy is expected to contract by 0.2% in 2024, an economy ministry spokesperson said on Monday,
    cutting the forecast from a previous projection of 0.3% growth
    this year.

    If realised, this would be the second consecutive year of contraction for Germany’s economy,
    which was the weakest among its large euro
    zone peers last year with a 0.3% decline in gross domestic
    product.

    Lindner said the government was introducing supply-side measures
    to try to return the economy to growth.

    “After these reforms, Germany will have more competitiveness again,” Lindner said, adding that
    the growth initiative was just a first step for an economic turnaround, “but we have to build on it.”

    AMBITION NEEDED

    Lindner said “ambition” was needed to keep EU public finances in order,
    or to put them back in order where necessary.

    “I can only encourage everyone to implement structural reforms and to make unpopular decisions,” Lindner said.
    “What seems to be unpopular at the moment is the willingness to take responsibility for the next generation and for the stability of the European Union as a whole.”

    Lindner said he could not comment on the
    French budget plans because he had not had the chance to talk with his French colleagues yet, but
    he would do so on Monday evening.

    “We should all realise that the credibility of public finances vis-à-vis the capital markets is not to be trifled with,” Lindner
    said.

    “We must credibly reduce our deficits and our debt so that we can continue to finance ourselves well and in a stable manner.”

    Celine Dion had a hilarious reaction to her hit, My Heart Will
    Go On, in a new video this week.

    The iconic songstress, 56, who is best known for the 1997 Titanic soundtrack song, was seen attempting to stream her rendition of
    Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour – but Siri failed to understand her and instead suggested My Heart Will
    Go On.

    In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by Céline
    Dion?’ with Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here
    is My Heart Will Go On. ”

    A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no, Hey Siri, can you play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion please?’

    Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.’

    Dion burst out laughing and said ‘never mind!’ before suggesting she ask the question in a strong French accent.

    After this Siri responded: ‘Okay, here is ‘Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion.’

    Dion looked shocked before smiling and giving the thumbs up.

    In July Dion made a musical comeback with the track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome.

    28 years after making her Olympic debut in 1996 at Atlanta’s stadium, Celine proved she’s still got it following her emotional act in the French city at the Eiffel Tower.

    And after bringing fans to tears, Celine reflected on the iconic moment with a heartfelt message on X.

    She wrote: ‘I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!

    ‘Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.

    to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!
    – Celine xx…’

    Celine looked incredible in a shimmering silver gown as she performed in front of
    the Eiffel Tower.

    She gave a rendition of Hymne à L’amour, which was originally sung by French music icon Edith Piaf.

    The song was originally released in 1950 and its title translates into English as ‘Hymn to Love.’

    The My Heart Will Go On songstress looked to be on the verge
    of tears as she finished the performance to cheers from the crowd, whilst viewers at home were also

    “Joker: Folie à Deux” is the No. 1 movie at the box office,
    but it might not be destined for a happy ending.

    In a turn of events that only Arthur Fleck would find funny, the follow-up to Todd Phillips´ 2019 origin story
    about the Batman villain opened in theaters
    nationwide this weekend to a muted $40 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, less than half that of its predecessor.
    The collapse was swift and has many in the industry wondering:
    How did the highly anticipated sequel to an Oscar-winning, billion-dollar film with the same creative team go wrong?

    Just three weeks ago, tracking services pegged the movie for a
    $70 million debut, which would still have been down a fair amount from “Joker´s” record-breaking $96.2 million launch in Oct.
    2019. Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival, where it premiered in competition like the
    first movie and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.

    But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the fragile foundation would crumble in the coming weeks
    with its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63% at Venice to
    33% by its first weekend in theaters. Perhaps even more surprising were
    the audience reviews: Ticket buyers polled on opening night gave the film a deadly D CinemaScore.
    Exit polls from PostTrak weren´t any better.

    It got a meager half star out of five possible.

    “That´s a double whammy that´s very difficult to recover from,” said
    Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore.
    “The biggest issue of all is the reported budget. A $40 or $50 million opening for a less expensive movie would be a solid debut.”

    “Joker: Folie à Deux” cost at least twice as much as the
    first film to produce, though reported figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make.
    Phillips told Variety that it was less than the reported $200 million; Others have it pegged at $190 million. Warner Bros.
    released the film in 4,102 locations in North America.
    About 12.5% of its domestic total came from 415 IMAX screens.

    center, in a scene from “Joker: Folie à Deux.” (Niko Tavernise/Warner Bros.

    Internationally, it’s earned $81.1 million from 25,788 screens,
    bringing its total global earnings estimate to $121.1
    million. In the next two weeks, “Joker 2″ will also open in Japan and China.

    Second place went to Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s”The Wild Robot,” which added $18.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to nearly $64 million. Globally, it’s made over $100 million. Warner Bros.’ “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” took third place in weekend five, Paramount’s “Transformers One” landed in fourth and
    Universal and Blumhouse’s “Speak No Evil” rounded out the
    top five.

    The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate’s “White Bird,” flopped with just $1.5
    million from just over 1,000 locations, despite an A+ CinemaScore.

    Overall, the weekend is up from the same frame last year, but “Joker’s” start is
    an unwelcome twist for theater owners hoping to narrow the box
    office deficit.

    Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix have said
    they aspired to make something as “audacious” as the first film.
    The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold, as a Joker superfan, and delved further into
    the mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned at Arkham and awaiting trial for the murders he committed in the first.
    It´s also a musical, with elaborately imagined song and dance numbers
    to old standards. Gaga even released a companion album called “‘Harlequin,” alongside the film.

    In his review for The Associated Press, Jake Coyle wrote that “Phillips has followed his very antihero take on the Joker with a very anti-sequel. It combines prison drama, courthouse thriller and musical, and yet turns out remarkably inert given how combustible the original was.”

    The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some
    who posit that the sequel was deliberately alienating fans of the first movie.
    In cruder terms, it´s been called a “middle finger.” But fans often ignore the advice of critics,
    especially when it comes to opening their wallets
    to see revered comic book characters on the big screen.

    “They took a swing for the fences,” Dergarabedian said.

    “But except for a couple of outliers, audiences in 2024 seem to want to know what they´re getting when they´re going to the theater. They want the tried and true, the familiar.”

    It has some high-profile defenders too: Francis Ford Coppola, who last week got his own D+ CinemaScore for
    his pricey, ambitious and divisive film “Megalopolis,” entered
    the Joker chat with an Instagram post.

    “@ToddPhillips films always amaze me and I enjoy them thoroughly,” Coppola wrote.
    “Ever since the wonderful `The Hangover´ he´s always one step ahead of the audience never doing what they expect.”

    “Megalopolis,” meanwhile, dropped a terminal 74% in its second
    weekend with just over $1 million, bringing its total just shy of $6.5 million against a $120 million budget.

    Deadline editor Anthony D´Alessandro thinks the problem started with
    the idea to make the Joker sequel a musical. “No fan of the original movie wanted to see a musical sequel,” he wrote on Saturday.

    The first film was also divisive and the subject
    of much discourse, then about whether it might send the wrong message to the wrong type of person. And yet people still flocked to see what the fuss was about.

    “Joker” went on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director, and three wins.
    It also made over $1 billion and was the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, until this
    summer when Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” took the crown.

    Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S.
    and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.
    Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

    1. “Joker: Folie à Deux,” $40 million.

    2. “The Wild Robot,” $18.7 million.

    3. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” $10.3 million.

    4. “Transformers One,” $5.4 million.

    5. “Speak No Evil,” $2.8 million.

    6. “Sam and Colby: The Legends of Paranormal,” $1.8 million.

    7. “White Bird,” $1.5 million.

    8. “Deadpool & Wolverine,” $1.5 million.

    9. “The Substance,” $1.3 million.

    10. “Megalopolis,” $1.1 million.

    Briton Matthew Smith, the partner of former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael
    Jeffries, leaves court in Central Islip, New York on December
    3, 2024

    The partner of the ex-CEO of the Abercrombie and Fitch clothing
    line pleaded not guilty Tuesday in US federal court to charges
    of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution and was released on $10 million bond.

    Briton Matthew Smith, the ex-CEO Mike Jeffries and their fixer James Jacobson allegedly used a “casting couch” ploy to groom aspiring male models to attend sex parties at which victims were
    plied with alcohol and drugs.

    After his arrest in October in Florida with Jeffries,
    Smith was held in custody in New York. Smith appeared in court Tuesday in Central Islip on Long Island, to the east of
    New York City.

    Smith pleaded not guilty and was released on a $10 million bond put up by Jeffries and his
    family, said a statement from the US attorney’s office for the eastern district of New York.

    An AFP photographer saw Smith leave the courthouse with
    what appeared to be a large electronic surveillance bracelet attached to his ankle.

    Le Britannique Matthew Smith, compagnon de l’ancien patron de l’enseigne américaine de mode Abercrombie &
    Fitch, Michael Jeffries, sort du tribunal fédéral
    de l’est de l’Etat de New York, à Central Islip, le 3 décembre 2024,
    après avoir plaidé non coupable de trafic sexuel et proxénétisme

    Another hearing is scheduled for December 10 for Smith,
    Jeffries and Jacobson.

    Jeffries, 80, was released on a $10 million bond in late October.

    Jeffries, who served as CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch from 1992 to 2014,
    is accused of creating and maintaining a ring that recruited young men to have
    sex with him and Smith.

    Prosecutors allege that between December 2008 and March 2015 Jeffries, Smith and Jacobson used a combination of
    “force, fraud and coercion” to traffic men in a sprawling prostitution enterprise.

    Charging documents detail 15 anonymous victims,
    but prosecutors suggest the scale was probably much larger and have
    appealed for witnesses and victims to come forward.

    Prosecutors say young men were taken to the New York home of Jeffries and Smith and to hotels in Britain, France, Italy, Morocco to have sex with them.

    Jeffries faces the prospect of life in prison if convicted.

    Jacobson also pleaded not guilty to the same charges
    as the other defendants and was released on half a million dollars bond
    in October.

    Red takes center stage as the hottest color of the holiday season.

    All red looks have been trending with the fashion set for some time,
    but after Rihanna attended the Fenty Hair launch party
    in a monochromatic look accessorized with multiple ruby baubles,
    red-on-red became cooler than ever. 

    The ‘Stay’ hitmaker donned a custom red leather Khaite jacket and
    skirt with ruby and diamond jewelry by Sabyasachi, David Webb and Reza.

    Monochromatic outfits, particularly in red, exude confidence and sophistication. 

    With the vibrant color being synonymous with the holiday season, it’s a natural choice for parties and

    Rubies are often referred to as the ‘king of gemstones’ and their vibrant color – caused by the presence of chromium –
    is often associated with passion, love, and power. 

    The name ‘ruby’ comes from the Latin word ‘ruber’ which means red. 

    Rubies are incredibly sought after for their beauty and durability, they
    are ranked 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness (qualitative scale that
    measures the relative hardness of minerals and other materials by
    their resistance to scratching), second to diamonds.

    Beyond their sparkle and strength, they have held cultural significance for
    centuries.

    Throughout history, rubies have been associated with nobility and wealth, often adorning the crowns of kings and queens.
    They are also believed to bring good fortune and protection to their wearer.

    According to Melee the Show founders Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, ruby jewelry
    is on the rise.

    The fine jewelry trade show connects buyers and designers, with the next shows taking place in New York (February 1-3) and
    Tucson (February 5-7).

    ‘From bold gemstones to intricate craftsmanship, our designers bring
    rubies to life in ways that inspire and captivate,’ said the duo.

    Anthony Lent, Fannie Thomas, Heather Guidero, Jake Matluck, Amali, Karin Jacobson, Marian Maurer and Ciara
    Bowles are some of the exhibiting designers who work with rubies.

    Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with Qantas
    on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering cheaper tickets.

    Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent of work trips last year despite it not always being the cheapest
    route, according to travel data provided to the government.

    While politicians and their staffers are required to book the cheapest
    flight, it also has to be the most efficient, with Qantas offering the most routes between major cities.

    MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded trips like ordinary
    Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status credits,
    which allows access to airport lounges and flight upgrades.

    ‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of Qantas in securing bookings by parliamentarians and
    their staff?’ Myriam Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial Review.

    ‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’

    Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to
    a review of flight bookings by government officials
    which will be conducted by the Department of Finance this year,
    despite there being just two months left of 2024.

    Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to the airline’s
    exclusive invite-only ‘Chairman’s Lounge’.

    The Flying Kanga-RORT – why you’re footing the bill as
    airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP club

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has
    accepted free membership of the club.

    Qantas and the Albanese government have both denied the airline enjoys any disproportionate level of influence over the country’s political
    classes.

    A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both the House
    of Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per
    cent of the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’
    membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.

    The high profile ranks of government giftees include Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well as every member of his 22-person Cabinet,
    his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.

    While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges
    as a ‘gift’, Labor MP Marion Scrymgour listed her
    membership as her ‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s
    Lounge.

    And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more than 60 MPs – including Marles, Chalmers, King, Bill Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek – disclosing their spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent access to Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.

    Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership to the Chairman’s Lounge has long been veiled in secrecy.

    Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs
    – in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports – are suitably discreet.

    Though, once inside, the designer lounges are immediately more ostentatious, with free
    à la carte fine dining, table service, a decadent selection of
    wines and Champagne and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.

    Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ – it cannot
    be bought for any amount of money nor obtained via any amount of frequent flyers points.

    Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved by
    the company’s chief executive and chairman.

    Do Greens and crossbenchers who claim that transparency and
    integrity is at the heart of their reason for entering Parliament in the first place hear themselves?

    In the past few days they have mounted self-serving arguments against
    proposed electoral reforms that the major parties look set to come together to support.

    The reforms include caps for how much money wealthy individuals can donate, caps on the amount candidates can spend in individual electorates to prevent the equivalent
    of an arms race, and a $90million limit on what any party can spend at an election – actually less than the major
    parties currently spend.

    The proposed new laws also include lower disclosure thresholds
    for donations, thus increasing the transparency of who makes
    political donations in the first place.

    So the wealthy wont be able to hide behind anonymity while using
    their cash to influence election outcomes – and
    the extent to which they can use their wealth at all will be limited.

    The bill will further improve transparency by also increasing the
    speed and frequency that disclosures of donations
    need to be made.

    At present we have the absurd situation in which donations get made – but you only find out the details of who has given what
    to whom many months later, well after elections are won and lost.

    In other words, what is broadly being proposed will result in much greater transparency and far less
    big money being injected into campaigning by the wealthy.

    Teal Kylea Tink claimed the major parties were ‘running scared’
    with the policy and warned the reform would ‘not stop the rot’ 

    Greens senate leader Larissa Waters (left) fired a warning shot – saying if it serves only the major
    parties ‘it’s a rort, not reform’. Teal independent ACT senator David
    Pocock (right) said: ‘What seems to be happening is a major-party stitch-up’

    Anyone donating more than $1,000 to a political party, as opposed to $16,000 under
    the current rules, will need to disclose having done so.
    And how much they can donate will be capped.

    Yet the Greens and Teals have quickly condemned the proposed new laws, labeling them a ‘stitch-up’, ‘outrageous’
    and ‘a rort, not a reform’. 

    They have lost their collective minds after finding out that Labor’s proposal just might secure the support of the opposition.

    I had to double check who was criticising what exactly before even starting to write this column.

    Because I had assumed – incorrectly – that these important transparency
    measures stamping out the influence of the
    wealthy must have been proposed by the virtue-signalling Greens or the corruption-fighting Teals,
    in a united crossbench effort to drag the major parties closer to accountability.

    More fool me.

    The bill, designed to clean up a rotten system, is being
    put forward by Labor and is opposed by a growing cabal of crossbenchers.

    It makes you wonder what they have to hide. Put simply, the Greens and Teals doth protest
    too much on this issue.

    Labor is thought to be trying to muscle out major political donors such as Clive Palmer

    Another potential target of the laws is businessman and Teal funder Simon Holmes
    à Court

    The Greens have taken massive donations in the past, contrary to
    their irregular calls to tighten donations rules (Greens leader Adam
    Bandt and Senator Mehreen Faruqi are pictured)

    The major parties have long complained about the influence the likes of Simon Holmes à
    Court wields behind the scenes amongst the Teals. 

    And we know the Greens have taken massive donations from the wealthy in the past, contrary to their irregular calls to tighten donations rules.

    Now that tangible change has been proposed, these bastions
    of virtue are running a mile from reforms that will curtail dark art
    of political donations.

    The Labor government isn’t even seeking for these transparency
    rules to take effect immediately, by the way. It won’t be some sort of quick-paced power play
    before the next election designed to catch the crossbench out.

    They are aiming for implementation by 2026, giving everyone
    enough time to absorb and understand the changes before preparing for them.

    Don’t get me wrong, no deal has yet been done between Labor and the
    Coalition. I imagine the opposition want to go over the laws with
    a fine tooth comb.

    As they should – because it certainly isn’t beyond Labor to
    include hidden one-party advantages in the proposed design which would create loopholes only the unions
    are capable of taking advantage of, therefore disadvantaging the Coalition electorally in the years to come.

    But short of such baked-in trickiness scuttling a deal to get these proposed laws implemented,
    the crossbench should offer their support, not cynical opposition, to what is being advocated for.

    They might even be able to offer something worthwhile that could be incorporated in the package.

    To not do so exposes their utter hypocrisy and blowhard
    false commentary about being in politics to ‘clean things up’.

    Nothing signals the start of winter quite like the return of the Fair
    Isle knit. Once considered ‘ugly’ knitwear we’d only pull out from the
    back of our wardrobes as an alternative to a Christmas jumper (especially the red-nosed reindeer kind à la
    Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones’s Diary) or for a winter sport holiday (specifically for après-ski), the Fair Isle jumper has
    now become somewhat of a fashion statement.

    The knit is named after the small, eponymous Shetland Island in Scotland and uses a traditional knitting technique to create those distinctive patterns
    with multiple colours. It was brought into vogue by an earlier Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII)
    in the 1920s, and has remained a casual wardrobe staple for members of
    the Royal Family, including Kate Middleton, whose jumper collection includes at least three different Fair Isle designs.

    Kensington Palace

    Another fan of the nostalgic knit is Alexa Chung, who recently layered a Fair Isle
    vest by Molly Goddard over a light blue button-down in a snap for Instagram.
    The It-girl previously also wore a V-neck vest from Cotswolds-based knitwear brand Cooking Apple, and sported a chunky Fair Isle crewneck with white,
    straight-leg jeans, black loafers and an oversized, black leather blazer to ring in the festive season at private members’ club in London last year.

    A host of designers have dropped Fair Isle-inspired knits for AW24, proving
    the multicoloured jumpers have become a timeless investment.

    If, as in our case, that £1,885 cashmere turtleneck from Loro Piana is a little out of your budget, there are countless options on the high street.
    The cropped cardi from Hush certainly caught our attention, as did the
    Fair Isle knit that was featured in the John Lewis Christmas advert.

    The boss of the tobacco giant behind the iconic Marlboro
    Man said a date should be set to ban cigarettes.

    Jacek Olczak, chief executive of Philip Morris International (PMI), has made it his
    mission to make old-style gaspers a thing of the past – and he says cigarettes
    should be replaced by alternatives such as vapes.

    Since 2016, the company, which is best known for brands such as Marlboro and Chesterfield, has been trying to transform itself from the world’s
    biggest tobacco firm into a scientific hub that can help smokers
    quit for good.

    It has invested more than £8.5billion in this ‘smoke-free future’ – from research papers
    to promotion of new products.

    Olczak believes that a move on cigarettes similar to the combustion engine would have to be on a timescale that
    gives consumers and the industry time to respond and change.

    Stubbing it out: Philip Morris International, –
    whose Marlboro brand was advertised by the Marlboro Man (pictured), has invested more than £8.5bn in a ‘smoke-free
    future’

    ‘Looking at what the UK is doing in the car industry, saying that as of a certain year
    you are not allowed to produce petrol cars, we could have this with
    tobacco too,’ he told the Mail.

    Olczak was himself a smoker for two decades until he tried the brand’s IQOS
    heated tobacco device, which costs £39 for a
    starter kit.

    Products such as heated tobacco and e-vapes now account for nearly 35pc of total annual revenues at PMI.

    And the Polish businessman, who wants the company to become a
    so-called ‘ESG’ stock that qualifies to be included in funds that invest on environmental, social and governance principles, said government
    action would help to speed up the switch. 

    New petrol and diesel cars and vans will be banned in the
    UK from 2030 – forcing manufacturers to produce green alternatives and putting pressure on drivers to go green.

    Olczak, 58, also drew an analogy with the switch to energy-saving lightbulbs.
    ‘In different countries they had a number of investment schemes to promote research and development to see whether
    you can produce light with much less energy,’ he said.

    The main thrust of Olczak’s argument is that governments could reduce smoking and the costs to health services
    if they supported tobacco companies like PMI to research alternatives which are less damaging to health
    – while setting a deadline for banning traditional cigarettes.

    Quit habit: Philip Morris boss Jacek Olczak was himself
    a smoker for two decades

    There could be a tenfold reduction in deaths linked to smoking if smokers fully switched to smoke-free products, based on World Health
    Organisation data.

    In the past, PMI – whose brand was advertised by the Marlboro
    Man from the 1950s to the late 1990s – has fought lawsuits that alleged it hid the dangers associated with smoking. 

    But Olczak, who became chief executive in 2021 after decades at PMI, said the business
    has fundamentally changed – so much so that cigarettes
    now, in his view, ‘belong in museums’.

    Speaking at a recent event in London, Olczak  said: ‘When governments – and organisations that lobby them – prevent men and women who continue to smoke from accessing less
    harmful alternatives, and when they perpetuate misinformation about these products, it has a direct correlation to the persistence of smoking.

    ‘It’s time for anti-tobacco organisations to stop fighting against us and start
    fighting for adults who smoke.’

    He praised Sweden and Japan for their approach to smoking alternatives in contrast with Brazil and
    Singapore, which have banned certain less harmful options.

    PMI’s sales of cigarettes are still strong in the Middle East,
    Africa, south-east Asia and the Americas.

    April 21 (Reuters) – A longtime Russian business associate of American tobacco giant
    Philip Morris International Inc – a billionaire whose holdings have included a major stake in a weapons plant supplying Russia´s
    military – has been sanctioned in Europe for aiding Russia´s invasion of Ukraine, according to a Reuters review of business registries and sanctions
    lists.

    Igor Kesaev, 55, listed by Forbes as Russia´s 35th-richest person last year, was
    sanctioned April 13 by the United Kingdom and on April 8 by the European Union. The EU noted in its sanctions document that Kesaev´s holdings in tobacco distribution and weapons production are funneling “substantial” revenue to the Russian Federation to fund its “destabilisation of Ukraine.”

    Kesaev owned a 49% share in the V.A. Degtyarev plant, located 165 miles northeast of Moscow, which makes
    machine guns, anti-tank and anti-aircraft
    weapons that are sold to the Russian military and countries in the
    Middle East, North Africa and Latin America, according to Russian business records as of Dec.
    31 and the plant´s website. The plant is known for producing Kalashnikov PKM
    and PKTM machine guns, as well as Kord rifles and machine guns, some of which are mounted on armored
    vehicles. Kesaev´s interest in the weapons business dates back to at least 2012, Degtyarev´s
    corporate filings show.

    Kesaev spokesperson Anatoly Shiryaev told Reuters in an emailed
    statement Wednesday that Kesaev “currently is not a shareholder” in Degtyarev and “isn´t part of its management.” Shiryaev didn´t
    respond to follow-up questions or requests to provide documentation of Kesaev´s
    exit from the arms business.

    The Degtyarev plant´s 2021 annual report – released April 14 – listed Kesaev as holding a 49% stake in the factory.
    Alexander Tmenov, the plant´s general director, referred to Kesaev as “our main shareholder” in an in-house publication dated March 16 and posted on the Degtyarev facility´s website.

    In its April 8 sanctions document, the EU referred to Kesaev as “the major shareholder of Degtyarev Plant.”

    Until recently, Kesaev was also the board chairman of a sprawling
    Russian tobacco distribution company, TC Megapolis JSC.
    And he was a board member of that firm’s Dutch holding company,
    in which Philip Morris, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, has a 23% stake.
    Kesaev resigned both posts April 11, according to
    Philip Morris and a TC Megapolis JSC press release.

    He retains ultimate control of Megapolis, however, according to the EU.
    In its sanctions statement, the EU said Kesaev is the president and owner of
    Mercury Group, which owns Megapolis, “the leading tobacco distributor in Russia.”

    In his emailed statement, Kesaev spokesperson Shiryaev said
    the businessman “isn´t part of the Megapolis Group´s management and therefore doesn´t comment on Megapolis’ relations with (Philip Morris).”

    Reuters couldn´t determine the size of Kesaev´s stake in the holding company, Megapolis Distribution BV.
    A December report from Russia-focused business news service Interfax said Kesaev and a
    longtime business associate, Sergei Katsiev, together owned 52.8%.
    The April 11 Megapolis press release said Kesaev is not a controlling
    or majority shareholder in the distribution company or any of its subsidiaries, and
    that he doesn´t influence or make decisions about the business.

    Philip Morris´ ties with Kesaev date to the early 1990s,
    when the entrepreneur helped the American firm navigate post-Soviet Russia and tap its coveted market
    of heavy smokers, according to news reports. That relationship could now prove a public-relations
    nightmare for the company. Images of Russian armaments pounding Ukraine have horrified much of the world, putting pressure on Western brands to cut ties to Russia and
    the oligarchs who dominate its economy – much less one with
    a track record of supplying arms to Russia´s military.

    There´s “a reputational risk. Like, ‘what the hell is Philip Morris doing dealing with this guy?'” said Daniel Fried,
    a former U.S. diplomat who coordinated sanctions policy for the Obama administration following Russia´s 2014 annexation of Crimea.

    The Degtyarev weapons factory has referred to standing contracts to supply Russia´s navy,
    air force and ground forces in press releases on its website.

    Reuters was unable to confirm definitively whether weapons made
    at the plant are being used in Russia´s invasion of Ukraine, though evidence pieced together by the news
    agency supports that conclusion.

    Philip Morris in an emailed statement said the company and its subsidiaries “comply with all applicable sanctions.” The multinational said
    it has already taken steps to scale down its operations in Russia and
    was working on options to exit in an “orderly” fashion. It provided no timeline
    or additional details on how such an exit would work.
    Philip Morris said last month it had suspended all marketing activities in Russia, was canceling all new product launches
    there, and that it had discontinued some products, though it did not specify
    which ones.

    In a March statement about the situation in Ukraine, Philip
    Morris International Chief Executive Jacek Olczak said of his company:
    “We stand in solidarity with the innocent men, women and children who are suffering.”

    Over the past three decades, Kesaev´s distribution muscle
    has helped Philip Morris, the world´s largest tobacco company by market capitalization, win more than a quarter of Russia´s cigarette
    market. Russia generated revenue of more than $1.8
    billion last year for Philip Morris, around 6% of the New York-based company´s global
    sales, the firm´s financial and press statements
    show. Philip Morris´ factory outside St. Petersburg is the
    largest in its global empire, according to the company website.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly decried Western sanctions on his country and
    some of its business titans. Last month he called these penalties an attempt “to deliver a blow to our entire economy, our social and cultural sphere, every family and every Russian citizen.”

    Russia has portrayed its invasion of Ukraine as a “special operation” to demilitarize
    and “denazify” its much smaller, democratic neighbor.

    While Reuters couldn´t substantiate conclusively that Russian fighters in that conflict are using weapons
    from the Degtyarev arms factory, evidence from Ukraine
    appears to support that determination. The news agency examined part of a
    Kord machine gun this week at a Kyiv auto mechanic shop that repairs Russian weapons recovered from the battlefield for
    re-use by Ukrainian fighters. The part was likely manufactured at the Degtyarev plant, according
    to independent weapons expert Damien Spleeters of the London-based research group Conflict Armament Research, which traces weapons in war zones.

    Spleeters examined photos of the Kord machine gun provided by Reuters.

    He said that particular Kord weapon is a type found mounted on tanks, armored personnel
    carriers and other fighting vehicles. It bore identifying
    numbers, etched into the metal. The shapes and style of those
    numbers matched those of etchings found on a high-caliber rifle that Conflict Armament Research examined
    in Ukraine in 2018. The research group determined at the
    time that the rifle – an ASVK typically used to destroy military equipment – was produced
    at the Degtyarev plant.

    “It´s pretty striking, the similarity between the characters there,” Spleeters said.

    He added it was “very likely” that other machine guns from the
    Degtyarev plant are being used on Russian fighting vehicles in Ukraine.

    One of the Kyiv mechanics, Oleksandr Fedchenko,
    told Reuters in March that he and a team of welders and engineers conferred
    with Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, who removed weapons
    from disabled Russian tanks and brought them back
    to his auto repair shop.

    It´s unclear how recently the Kord machine gun was manufactured,
    and Reuters could not independently corroborate the mechanics´
    accounts that the weapons were recovered from
    invading Russian forces.

    `DIRTY MONEY´

    For Ukrainians, Kesaev´s tobacco and arms businesses
    have been inextricably linked.

    In 2014, Ukraine´s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych,
    was toppled in a popular uprising, leading to Russia´s annexation of Crimea later that year.
    Ukrainian officials, meanwhile, began scrutinizing the role of Russian companies in various sectors of its economy.

    At the time, the firm Trading Company Megapolis-Ukraine was by far the country’s largest tobacco distributor,
    controlling 99% of the market, according to research from the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine, the nation´s top competition regulator.
    Ukrainian authorities started drawing attention to Megapolis´ ties to Kesaev and Russian weapons production.

    Kyiv sanctioned Kesaev in 2016 for unspecified actions it said
    threatened Ukraine´s national security. A top Ukrainian prosecutor later accused Kesaev of
    supporting “terrorist organizations” by
    supplying arms to Russian-backed separatist groups that
    have been fighting for nearly a decade to carve out two independent states –
    Donetsk and Luhansk – in resource-rich eastern Ukraine.

    Representatives of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic did not respond to requests for comment,
    while representatives of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic could not be reached for
    comment.

    Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament and former head of the Ukrainian branch
    of the anti-corruption nonprofit Transparency International, said multinational companies that continue to do
    business with Kesaev are helping to fuel Moscow´s
    war machine.

    “These are the people who are responsible for the…aggression, for more deaths of Ukrainian people,” Yurchyshyn told Reuters.
    “It´s dirty money.”

    Philip Morris did not respond to a request for comment on Yurchyshyn´s assertions.

    Other investors in the Degtyarev weapons factory as of Dec.
    31, company records show, include Rostec, a Russian state defense company that has been on the U.S.

    Treasury Department´s sanctions list since 2014; and NPO High-Precision Systems, another state weapons company that was named in a round of Treasury
    Department sanctions in late March.

    Rostec and NPO High-Precision Systems did not respond to requests for comment.

    Kesaev and the Degtyarev plant have not been sanctioned by the United States.
    The Treasury Department, which enforces economic sanctions, declined to comment.
    The U.S. State Department said it “cannot preview future sanctions actions,” but said it
    has targeted Russian oligarchs financing the war and “will continue to act with our allies and partners around the world in imposing costs on the Kremlin” if the
    conflict continues.

    The entanglement with Kesaev is another sticky public-relations challenge in the history of the tobacco leviathan,
    whose parent company once was known as Philip Morris Companies Inc.

    Philip Morris Inc, the U.S. unit, was one of four major tobacco firms
    that in 1998 agreed to pay an estimated $206 billion, the largest civil settlement in U.S.
    history, to compensate states for the costs of smokers whose health was wrecked by their
    products.

    Philip Morris Companies renamed itself Altria Group Inc in 2003,
    and in 2008 spun off Philip Morris International into a separate
    company that sells outside of the United States. Philip Morris
    International posted revenue of $31.4 billion last year,
    with operating profit of nearly $13 billion.

    `EMBEDDED´ IN RUSSIA

    Russia is a dream market for international tobacco companies, with its large population of around 145 million people and one of the highest smoking rates in the world.
    More than 40% of men there light up, according to the World Health Organization. The number of
    cigarettes sold annually in Russia is about the same as the United States, though Russia´s population is less than half the size.

    In 2020, Philip Morris, Japan Tobacco Inc, and England-based British American Tobacco Plc
    and Imperial Brands Plc together comprised more than 97% of cigarette sales in Russia,
    according to data from Bernstein Research, an investment research firm.
    Philip Morris alone had a 26% share, with its top sellers including Parliament and Bond Street, according to Bernstein Research.

    U.S. anti-tobacco activist Matthew Myers worked to reduce smoking in Russia as president
    of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, an American nonprofit that has expanded its work globally.
    He said the success of foreign cigarette companies in Russia is virtually unmatched by other well-known consumer products firms.

    “Western tobacco companies literally took over the industry,” Myers said.
    “They are embedded.”

    Putin in 2020 honored Philip Morris for donating food
    to the elderly and providing personal protective equipment to volunteers participating in a Russian COVID-19 aid program.
    The company touted the “commemorative medal and a letter of thanks” it
    received from the president in a report about its sustainability efforts published last year on the website of its Russia operation.

    Philip Morris said it was one of many local and international businesses recognized in Russia for aid efforts during the
    pandemic.

    It was the Communists who first opened the door for the firm.
    In the 1970s, Philip Morris struck a licensing deal
    for its Marlboro brand to be manufactured in the USSR, according to Philip Morris´
    website. It had no corporate presence or factories there, but it persevered.

    That arrangement birthed a new brand of cigarettes commemorating the Apollo-Soyuz joint space
    mission between the United States and the Soviet Union, which is
    credited for raising Philip Morris´ profile with
    young smokers, tobacco researchers say.

    Opportunity knocked again in 1990, the twilight of Communist rule, when tobacco shortages triggered widespread
    protests. Answering the call from Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev,
    Philip Morris, along with its U.S. competitor R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
    agreed to deliver 34 billion cigarettes, according to news accounts and statements by the companies at
    the time.

    The 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union threw the gates wide open. Philip Morris
    by 1993 had committed $1 billion to expansion in the region, enabling it to snap
    up existing factories and build others, company statements and
    news accounts show. It brought manufacturing know-how and superior tobacco
    blends. It also unleashed slick marketing that celebrated freedom and consumerism,
    with ads from the period showing the Marlboro Man cowboy in the
    wide-open spaces of the American West and young newlyweds
    leaving their ceremony on a motorcycle.

    Today, Russia is Philip Morris´ second-largest market for tobacco sales, behind Indonesia, according to
    the company´s most recent annual report. Excluding banks,
    insurance firms and investment companies, Philip
    Morris in 2021 was the largest foreign company by revenue operating in Russia, according to a
    Forbes Russia ranking.

    Russian consumers are also major buyers of so-called reduced-risk products that
    Philip Morris is banking on to stave off declining global cigarette sales.
    Its signature technology is IQOS, a device that heats tobacco without burning
    it to create a nicotine-filled aerosol for smokers to inhale.
    Russia last year accounted for 17% of Philip Morris´ global IQOS product
    sales, a share exceeded only by Japan, according to its most recent annual report.

    Retail space is essential for reaching customers.

    Which is why distributor Kesaev, born near
    Russia´s border with Georgia, has been so instrumental to
    Philip Morris´ success in Russia.

    In the early 1990s, Kesaev started an importing business that worked with international tobacco companies eager
    to get their products onto store shelves, according to a 2014 profile of the magnate in Forbes magazine´s Russian website.

    It said Kesaev spoke excellent English, having graduated from MGIMO University, a prestigious international relations school.
    He moved to Switzerland for a time in the 1990s, the website said,
    where he developed a personal connection with Philip Morris executives at the company´s regional headquarters in Lausanne.

    Over time, Kesaev built the largest tobacco distributor in Russia through
    acquisitions of regional competitors, according to Forbes´ Russian website.
    That company, Megapolis, delivers to 160,000 retailers spanning 7,
    000 miles, according to the firm’s website. Kesaev is also one of three majority shareholders of Mercury Retail Group, which operates
    two large convenience store chains, according to a December press release from Mercury Retail Group.

    In 2013, Philip Morris and rival Japan Tobacco Inc both purchased
    20% stakes in Megapolis’ holding company for $750 million each, according to the companies.

    CLEAN EXIT?

    Philip Morris´ long-standing ties to Kesaev and the
    Russian market, including its now-23% stake in Megapolis,
    could make the country hard to quit.

    “If you spend a quarter of a century building up a brand portfolio and presence, you´ll be very reluctant to give that up,” said Andy Rowell, a research fellow studying the tobacco industry at England´s University of Bath,
    which is part of a global anti-tobacco consortium
    called STOP.

    The company´s connections to Russia are made
    stickier by the fact that the country is one of only two
    markets worldwide – along with Algeria – where Philip Morris holds an ownership stake
    in a company tied to a distributor, according to its most recent annual report.
    Up until last week, the 12-member board of Megapolis´ Dutch
    holding company included Kesaev, three of his business associates
    and four executives from Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco, according to a Netherlands
    business registry.

    Of the remaining 11 directors now listed there, seven did not respond to requests for comment and the
    others could not be located.

    To sever all ties with Russia, Philip Morris would need to sell its Megapolis stake.
    The company has not mentioned Megapolis in any of its recent
    statements about exiting the Russian market and did not answer Reuters´ questions about plans for its Megapolis investment.

    Megapolis said in its April 11 press release that the EU´s sanctions “in no way affect” the distribution company and its subsidiaries.

    The United States and the EU do not ban companies outright from doing business in Russia, but their sanctions
    prohibit a wide range of dealings with entities such as Russia´s central bank, some of
    its largest financial institutions and other sanctioned individuals or companies.
    U.S. rules also prohibit new investment in Russia
    by U.S. citizens or entities, while the EU bans investment in Russia’s energy sector and has blocked a wide range of exports to Moscow worth billions of euros a year.

    Many multinational companies have decided that the optics of doing business in Russia, along
    with the difficulties in navigating the financial system, aren´t worth it.

    Fried, the former U.S. diplomat, says he´s been advising American companies since the 2014
    round of Crimea-related sanctions that Russia had become a riskier place for them to do business.
    Add in the latest sanctions emanating from its invasion of Ukraine and he
    said the potential peril has soared.

    “Now it´s sky-high. It´s through the roof,” said Fried, now a fellow at
    the Atlantic Council, an international affairs
    think tank in Washington.

    Philip Morris isn´t the only multinational tobacco company grappling with its future in Russia.

    Japan Tobacco, now the biggest player in Russia with more than a third of the market, on March 10 said it was suspending new investments and marketing
    activities in Russia but stopped short of committing to an exit.

    The Japanese government owns a third of Japan Tobacco.

    Japan Tobacco said it is “committed to complying with all applicable national and international sanctions imposed on Russia,”
    adding that Kesaev is no longer on the board of
    Megapolis or involved in managing the company as of April 11.
    In a statement, Japan´s Ministry of Finance said it believed Japan Tobacco´s management “will take appropriate and timely action with the situation in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.”

    British American Tobacco Plc said it would leave Russia and told Reuters in March it would likely sell to
    its longtime distributor. That firm, Russia-based SNS Group of Companies, last month
    told the news agency that the process of transferring
    BAT´s business to SNS was “well under way.” BAT said it had no further comment.

    Imperial Brands Plc, with less than 10% of the Russian market, said last month it would cease sales and operations there.
    The company told Reuters it is in talks with a “local third party” to sell its business, but declined to elaborate.

    With foreign companies dominating Russia´s tobacco market, there is no major
    domestic operator that could make up the supply if all four companies stopped selling.
    Western sanctions could complicate efforts by Russian importers to buy
    the products abroad.

    Callum Elliott, an analyst at Bernstein Research, said it´s
    possible Philip Morris could license its brands to a Russian company.
    After all, that´s how it got started in Soviet times. But Elliott said such a strategy carries potential
    risks for Philip Morris after so many decades operating
    there because a licensee might “impair the value of the brand.”

    Philip Morris declined to comment.

    As for Kesaev, his purported exit from the arms business comes amid sanctions
    that may also cloud the prospects for his tobacco empire.

    But at the Degtyarev weapons plant, business has been booming.

    A November statement from Tmenov, the plant´s general director, said “2021 has been a busier year than ever.” (Reporting by Chris Kirkham in Los Angeles, Richa Naidu in London,

    March 24 (Reuters) – Marlboro maker Philip Morris International
    Inc is working on options to exit the Russian market, citing
    a complex and rapidly changing regulatory and operating environment in the country following
    its invasion of Ukraine.

    The company, which garnered around 6% its
    net revenue from Russia in 2021, said on Thursday it has discontinued sale of several cigarette products and canceled all product launches for
    the year in Russia.

    It has also canceled plans to make over 20 billion TEREA sticks, heated
    tobacco units intended for use with its IQOS ILUMA devices, as
    well as related investment of $150 million.

    Earlier this month, Philip Morris had suspended its planned investments and
    decided to scale down manufacturing operations
    in the country.

    Rival Imperial Brands too has started talks to transfer
    its Russian business to a local third party, joining BAT in exiting the sanction-hit country.

    Actress Ione Sky has shared the heartbreaking final text messages
    she received from Matthew Perry just two weeks before he
    died.

    Perry, 54, was tragically found dead on Saturday at his home in Los Angeles from an apparent drowning in his
    hot tub.

    In a posting to Instagram post, Skye reminisced about her work alongside the late River Phoenix in the 1988 film
    A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, which marked Perry’s debut in the world of cinema. 

    The 54-year-old Say Anything star uploaded an old photo of herself and Perry, together with their text exchange,  while
    also expressing her deep sadness over his passing with the caption, ‘I’m very, very sad.
    Loved this guy.’

    In their final series of text messages, Perry sent
    a heartfelt message to Skye on October 15, stating, ‘Hi!
    I hope all is well. I was meditating (I meditate now) and ‘In Your Eyes’ started playing.
    And I instantly thought of how beautiful you are,’ alluding to Skye’s famous scene in Say Anything…. 

    Ione Skye has shared the final text messages she had with Matthew Perry,
    who tragically passed away in an apparent drowning at his home on Saturday.

    The pair are pictured in the early 90s together – a photo she posted to Instagram

    In her Instagram post, Skye expressed her deep sadness and affection for Perry
    stating, ‘I’m very, very sad. Loved this guy.’

    Skye shared messages between the two of them from
    just a couple of weeks ago 

    In their final series of text messages, Perry sent a heartfelt message to Skye
    on October 15

    Skye responded warmly, expressing her pleasure at hearing from Perry and noting
    that she only had fond memories of their time together.

    ‘Good to hear from you. I only have nice memories with you,’ she wrote.

    ‘Me too. That one afternoon, I was just sitting in my apartment and there you were!’ 

    A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, directed by William Richert, is a
    coming-of-age drama adapted from Richert’s 1966
    novel, Aren’t You Even Gonna Kiss Me Goodbye? 

    In the film, River Phoenix portrayed the main character, Jimmy Reardon, a middle-class young
    man grappling with life choices after high school. 

    Perry played his privileged best friend, Fred Roberts, while Skye took on the role of his girlfriend, Denise Hunter.

    Phoenix passed away from a drug overdose in 1993, a year before Perry
    gained widespread recognition for his role in Friends. 

    Skye, meanwhile, continued to pursue her acting career, explored painting, and later authored several children’s
    books. 

    Ione Skye is probably most renowned for her role as the recipient of
    John Cusack’s heartfelt gesture with a boombox in the classic film Say Anything. The working-class
    athlete falls for the rich, gorgeous valedictorian in Cameron Crowe’s indelible directorial debut

    ‘I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career’: Cusack’s
    Lloyd Dobler emerged as a new type of sensitive, quirky romantic lead for the late 1980s

    In the romantic drama Say Anything, the film directed by Cameron Crowe co-starred John Cusack, whose
    character Lloyd Dobler famously held a boombox above his head to woo his love interest Diane Court, played by Ione, in one memorable scene that has become a part
    of pop culture history. 

    Perry had reportedly played a two-hour game of Pickleball on Saturday,
    before sending his assistant out on an errand. When the person returned, Perry was said to have been found unresponsive in his hot tub. 

    Sources told DailyMail.com that Matthew Perry was lonely and longing for a wife and a
    family when he died, after a string of failed relationships left him feeling ‘sad and depressed.’

    The actor, who shot to fame as the sarcastic Chandler Bing in the
    seminal 90s sitcom, was found dead at his
    house in Los Angeles on Saturday after emergency crews were called at around 4pm local time.

    Perry never married and he ended his engagement to
    Molly Hurwitz, a talent manager, in 2021. He also dated several well-known actresses throughout his life, including
    Julia Roberts and Lizzy Caplan.

    ‘Matthew always dreamed of having the perfect family,’ a
    source close to the star told DailyMail.com.
    ‘He wanted a wife, and at least a couple of kids.

    And he said he wouldn’t even mind marrying a woman who already had kids.’

    No one meant more to Perry in this world than his stepfather Keith Morrison the host of Dateline,
    who married his mother in 1981, the source said.

    Perry won a worldwide fanbase for his role as Chandler in Friends, earning him
    an Emmy nomination in 2002 – but behind the glitz and glamour, he secretly battled substance abuse for decades. 

    Skye, meanwhile, continued to pursue her acting career, explored painting, and later authored several
    children’s books. She is pictured in a more recent post from social media

    Friends was a huge global hit as it ran for 10 seasons between 1994 and 2004

    Born on August 19, 1969 in Massachusetts, Perry grew up in Ottawa and was raised by
    his mother, Suzanne Morrison, a Canadian writer and former press aide for Prime Minister
    Pierre Trudeau. 

    Morrison and Perry’s father were married from 1968 to 1970 and she
    later married Canadian broadcast journalist Keith Morrison, who has been on Dateline
    for decades, in 1981.

    In Canada, Perry was a top-rated tennis player but at 15 moved to Los Angeles
    to be closer to his father, John Bennett Perry, an actor known for several shows, including Falcon Crest, and later
    on Old Spice commercials.

    In the 1980s and ’90s, Perry landed spots on the decades’
    most popular TV shows like Charles in Charge, Who’s The Boss?, Growing Pains and Beverly Hills,
    90210.

    On Sunday, fans of Perry left bunches of flowers outside the iconic Friends ‘apartment’ in New York City – while well-wishers place tributes by
    his LA home. 

    Fans left flowers for actor Matthew Perry outside the New York
    apartment building that was used as the exterior shot for
    colossally popular TV show Friends

    One fan, wearing a Friends tote bag, started
    crying at the somber tribute

    Tearful mourners left bouquets of colorful flowers on the wet sidewalk outside the Friends
    apartment facade in West Village, Manhattan.

    Despite never filming at the location, the Bedford Street building served as the
    exterior shot in the TV show Friends and soon became an iconic tourist hotspot. 

    Many people stood out in the pouring rain to lay flowers and leave notes at
    the makeshift memorial for the much-loved actor. One fan, wearing a Friends tote bag,
    started crying at the somber tribute. 

    Meanwhile in Los Angeles, fans left bouquets of sunflowers and other tributes in front of
    the gates to Perry’s home, where he was found dead over the weekend. 

    Among the items was a miniature batman doll and handwritten cards
    from fans.

    Lady Gaga is getting back to basics.

    Following her panned performance in the flop movie Joker: Folie à Deux, the New York City native, 38, is releasing a single titled
    Disease, set to be released Friday.

    Diesase, the first of songs from her forthcoming seventh album, was teased Tuesday on the Grammy-winning artist’s Instagram account, as she captioned
    the image: ‘DISEASE 10.25.’

    In a teaser clip from the viewpoint of an approaching vehicle, the actress-singer,
    whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, sported a black mane as she ran from it.

    Gaga’s label Universal Music on Monday put out pre-saves for the forthcoming single, with links to
    Spotify and Apple Music, Variety reported.

    Lady Gaga, 38, is going back to basics in her pop career following her
    panned performance in the flop movie Joker: Folie à Deux.
    Pictured at the film’s LA premiere last month 

    The New York City native is releasing a single
    titled Disease on Friday 

    Gaga also made public a Spotify playlist in which her letters in her songs spelled
    out the phrase ‘Gaga Disease,’ according to the outlet.

    Lady Gaga on Monday posted an adjacent image of what appeared to be her figure
    splayed across the front of a car with the phrase ‘Disease’ painted on the street,
    and a series of dates, times and cities.

    Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics

    The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This
    Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is headed back to
    her pop persona following the September release of her album Harlequin, which was
    inspired by Joker: Folie à Deux.

    Among the tracks on the album included two new songs, and standards such as That’s Entertainment,
    That’s Life and Get Happy.

    Like the film, it was not an initial commercial
    success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard 200 charts at number 20.

    Lady Gaga in the movie played the role of Harley
    Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the franchise’s 2019 film Joker.

    According to the outlet, Joker: Folie à Deux ‘could potentially lose $150 to $200 million’ despite studio insiders saying it
    would break even.

    The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide,
    with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue,
    according to Box Office Mojo.

    Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix opposite the pop staple, underwhelmed with
    critics and in box office revenues 

    Some fans have said that despite the film’s initial failure financially
    and with critics, it will be looked upon favorably years from now.

    Lady Gaga has had some commercial success in recent months with her pairing with Bruno
    Mars on Die With a Smile, which was released in August, landing in the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100.

    In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially landed
    in the top spot upon its debut and included the hit
    single Rain on Me, a collaboration with Ariana Grande.

    Lady Gaga was praised by co-star Joaquin Phoenix over
    her ‘impressive’ weight loss for their latest flick.

    The 38-year-old singer was recognized by her 49-year-old co-star – who revealed he ‘almost lost his mind’ due to his diet – during a press
    conference for Joker: Folie à Deux at the Venice Film
    Festival on Wednesday.

    Joaquin was discussing his personal weight loss for the original
    2019 film before praising the Poker Face hitmaker whose real name
    is Stefani Germanotta.

    He said: ‘Stefani also lost a lot of weight.

    ‘I remember when I first met you in rehearsals and then you went away for like a month and
    then you came back, you lost a lot of weight.’

    The 38-year-old singer was recognized by her 49-year-old co-star during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday

    The Oscar-winner continued praising Gaga as he added: ‘It was really impressive.
    It seemed very difficult.’

    Joaquin Phoenix reveals he ‘almost lost his mind’ after diet to
    lose three stone for The Joker

    The admiration was mutual between the stars as Joaquin plays Arthur Fleck
    AKA The Joker and Gaga plays Harleen ‘Lee’ Quinzil
    AKA Harley Quinn .

    Gaga told her co-star: ‘I think we transformed into our characters over a period of time and we continued to hone
    in every kind of detail.’

    The last time that actor Joaquin played The Joker,
    he had to drop over forty pounds (three and
    a half stone). He went on a diet of lettuce, asparagus and apples which he
    said made him almost lose his mind.

    Five years later he has returned to the Oscar-winning role again in Joker: Folie a Deux
    – and says that he had to lose almost the same amount of weight once more, and is never doing it
    again.

    Speaking at the Venice Film Festival he said: ‘I’m
    not going to talk through specifics of the diet,
    because I just think nobody wants to hear that.

    ‘But this time, it felt a bit more complicated just because there was so much dance rehearsal that we were doing, which I didn’t have last time. 

    ‘It felt a bit more difficult, but it is safe. But you’re right, I’m now 49, I probably shouldn’t do this again.
    This is probably it for me.’ 

    Joaquin was discussing his personal weight loss for the original 2019 film before praising the Poker Face hitmaker
    whose real name is Stefani Germanotta as he said: ‘Stefani also lost a lot of
    weight. I remember when I first met you in rehearsals and then you went away for like a month and then you came back, you lost a lot of weight’

    Joaquin has revealed he ‘almost lost his mind’ after surviving on a diet of ‘lettuce, asparagus and apples’ to lose three
    and a half stone to play The Joker (Seen left in the film and right at Venice Film Festival on Wednesday)

    The last time that actor Joaquin Phoenix played
    The Joker, Arthur Fleck, he had to drop three and a half stone
    – and he has revealed he had to do so again

    He added: ‘I know I was responsible last time for
    talking about it, but it’s difficult to do so. 

    ‘That becomes your obsession because you’re working the entire time to get to
    a certain weight.

    ‘So then you end up talking about it, and then it just sounds like an actor going on and on about how much weight they lost.

    ‘By the end of that run I was so sick of myself and angry at myself for making such a big
    deal about that part, because you just do what you’re ****ing supposed to do.
    So this time I was like, ‘I’m not going to do that’.’

    He then whispered: ‘It was 47 pounds,’ before adding:
    ‘No, I’m joking. I don’t know.’

    Co star Lady Gaga, who plays a music therapist at Arkham
    Asylum, said: ‘We rehearsed the waltz in the film for
    two months which kind of falls apart. 

    ‘When Joaquin was too hungry we fed him blueberries.’

    Phoenix said: ‘Part of the joy for me was to take standards and find a way that was specific to the characters. 

    ‘That was part of what was interesting for us.
    We started off with references like Frank Sinatra and
    Sammy Davis Jr and we started to emulate that sound.’

    Speaking at the Venice Film Festival he said: ‘I’m not going to talk through specifics of the diet, because I just think nobody wants to hear that’

    Five years after the first film, he has returned to the Oscar-winning role again in Joker: Folie a Deux
    – and says that he had to lose almost the same amount of weight once
    more, and is never doing it again (Seen left before filming
    in 2018 and right after)

    ‘But this time, it felt a bit more complicated just because there was so much dance rehearsal
    that we were doing, which I didn’t have last time,’
    Joaquin said of the weight loss this time round 

    Joaquin’s weight loss for the first film somewhat ‘obsessed’ with his
    weight where he also developed a ‘disorder’ over pounds (Seen left
    in the first film and right ahead of filming)

    He added that his co-star Lady Gaga, real name Stephanie Germanotta ‘wanted to
    sing live and I did not. In the end, every part of the recording was live.’ 

    Gaga said: ‘The way music is used is to give characters a
    way to express themselves because the dialogue is not enough.’ 

    She had to forget her professional training: ‘It was about
    unlearning technique and forgetting how to breathe.’

    Director Todd Phillips said that he felt the pressure after
    the success of The Joker. 

    He said: ‘I’m more nervous of this one than the
    first one. The first one we were under the radar, this one everyone was writing on the internet about it.’

    The Warner Bros film is released on October 4th.

    After the release of the first film, Joaquin shut down rumours he only ate an apple a day to achieve his astonishing weight loss,
    telling Access Hollywood that he consumed more food than that  ⁠— though not much more.  

    ‘It wasn’t an apple a day. No, you’ve also got lettuce and steamed green beans,’ he said of what
    he ate in preparation for the role. 

    The actor previously admitted that ‘you start to go mad
    when you lose that amount of weight in that amount of time’

    While speaking with Access Hollywood, Joaquin explained he consulted with a
    doctor to ensure he lost weight as safely as possible

    Although Joaquin has lost weight for roles before, he admitted that ‘Joker’ director Todd Phillips didn’t make it easy
    on him. 

    The Her star recalled how the producer always had the one food item he craved on hand, which made his diet a bit more of a struggle. 

    ‘Todd did have these f*****g pretzels that I love.
    And he’d just have bags of them in his office!’ he said.
    ‘And that was difficult.’ 

    Joaquin’s character is wearyingly thin in the film, and he admitted that he had reservations about taking on such a drastic weight loss. 

    ‘It’s a horrible way to live,’ he told the New York Times.

    ‘I think [the Joker] should be kind of heavy. Todd was like,
    ‘I think you should do the real thin person.”

    Joaquin previously said his extreme diet helped him
    prepare for the role in more ways than one. 

    ‘The first thing for us was the weight loss — I think that’s really
    what I started with,’ he said of working with the film’s director. 

    ‘And, as it turns out, that then affects your psychology.
    You start to go mad when you lose that amount of weight
    in that amount of time.’

    What you said was very reasonable. But, what about this?
    suppose you added a litytle information? I am not saying your content is
    not good, but suppose you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Army Mistakenly Kills Two Civilians in Meghalaya,
    FIR Filed – Control Arms Foundation of India is a little boring.
    You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and ote howw they write article titles to
    grab viewers to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to say.
    Jusst my opinion, it could bringg your posts a
    little livelier.
