The conference brought together festival director Tricia Tuttle and the seven people who will be selecting the winners of the Golden and Silver Bears: Jury president Wim Wenders, director of acclaimed films including "Wings of Desire" and the Oscar-nominated "Perfect Days," and his fellow jurors Nepalese director Min Bahadur; South Korean actor Bae Doona; Indian director, producer and archivist Shivendra Singh Dungarpur; US director, screenwriter and producer Reinaldo Marcus Green; Japanese director, screenwriter and producer HIKARI and Polish producer Ewa Puszczynska.

It was always a matter of when, not if, Suella would defect. The Conservatives did all we could to look after Suella's mental health, but she was clearly very unhappy.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

I started this campaign to make sure that the story of Iryna does not disappear. Her murder is at the nexus of many issues plaguing American society. For example, one is the progressive approach to crime," said.

A representative for the Atlanta rapper told Rolling Stone that there was "a mix-up" about Luda's inclusion on the lineup. "Lines got crossed and he wasn't supposed to be on there," the rep claimed. Get Ludacris Tickets Here Upon the festival's announcement, Ludacris faced backlash from some critics over its perceived political leanings. The event was labeled by some as "MAGA-adjacent," with Ludacris lumped in alongside artists like Snoop Dogg and Kanye West, both of whom have had public associations with Donald Trump.

Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) began investigating whether Becca Good, the widow of a queer woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent last week, had any criminal associations or ties to anti-government groups. The current presidential administration has repeatedly tried to portray Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent, as a "domestic terrorist" who was part of a "sinister left-wing movement" that criminally sought to interfere with ICE's actions.

I'm not British Born Mr @Nigel_Farage I am as British as u r. Yr comments r offensive&racist. I wld be frightened 2live in country run by U Zahawi in a 2015 tweet, which was only deleted on Monday as he announced his defection to Reform UK. The tweet appears to have been in response to a broadcast interview in 2015 in which Farage was asked if he was in favour of keeping laws that ban employment discrimination on the grounds of race or colour.

Scott Wiener has an unusual distinction in American politics: He upsets almost everybody. In the months before I met the California state senator-who is now running for Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat-he had been harangued at one public meeting after another. In October, pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted his campaign's pumpkin-carving event to shout: "Wiener, Wiener, you can't hide; we charge you with genocide." (This was not an isolated incident.) His usual response in these situations is to wait calmly and then carry on as normal.

I don't really care what colour a kid's skin is some deserve to be in poverty and some don't? That makes me pretty angry, she said. Does Nigel Farage want to go around and say: White? Yeah, you can have the money. Black? No, I'm sorry, it's not for you.' What sort of country does he think we are? If you're the mum next door who works in the NHS, has lived here all her life, her kids lived here all their life,

I gave you the opportunity to be a man. You didn't take it, Ryan said. I gave you the opportunity to speak to five and a half million people and prove to them that you are not insider trading. That's a f*cking gift, I might add. A gift and you turned it down. He added, I'm not gonna interview you now, I don't play games, I handle sh*t like a man.

In the 1950s, before the sexual revolution, before the New Wave, before feminism, there was Bardot: she was sex, she was youth, and, more to the point, Bardot was modernity. She was the unacknowledged zeitgeist force that stirred cinema's young lions such as Francois Truffaut against the old order. Bardot was the country's most sensational cultural export; she was in effect the French Beatles, a liberated, deliciously shameless screen siren who made male American moviegoers gulp and goggle with desire

X Screenshot CNN's Jake Tapper took to social media on Sunday to denounce anyone who supports conspiracy theorist and rabid antisemite Candace Owens's bigoted bullshit. Both Tapper and The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro have condemned Owens for pushing what journalist Yashar Ali called Neo-Nazi propaganda, including dangerous Talmudic conspiracies. On last week's podcast, Owens held up a copy of antisemitic tome, The Talmudic Jew, and told her listeners that Shapiro and other Jewish people believe they are contract lords.

I'll tell you what I don't believe, and the whites were quick to say this: Charlie Kirk was this generation's Martin Luther King, Chappelle said after discussing Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension by ABC over comments about Kirk following his September death. That's a reach. They both got murdered in a terrible fashion. They both got shot in the neck, but that's about where those similarities ended. Chappelle dismissed Kirk as a motherf**king internet personality and nothing like MLK.

Graham Platner, a combat veteran, political activist, and small-business owner who has never served in office, seemed to check many boxes for a progressive upstart. Platner, who says he and his wife earn sixty thousand dollars a year, has spoken passionately about affordability, and has called universal health care a "moral imperative." He seemed like a rising star, but then some of his past comments online directed against police, L.G.B.T.Q. people, sexual-assault survivors, Black people, and rural whites surfaced.

I haven't looked at the article. I, of course, have heard about it. But, conspiracy theorist sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. And, by the way, Susie and I have joked in private and in public about that for a long time. For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020 that it was stupid to mask 3-year-olds at the height of the Covid pandemic, that we should actually let them develop some language skills.

Because important projects should unite, not divide, and out of respect for the citizens of Serbia and Belgrade, we are withdrawing our application and this time we are stepping aside,

It was "misconceived" for a Department of Housing official to repost a controversial video offering advice to young people moving back into the family home, the Housing Minister has conceded.

"Our mission is to give Oregonians the opportunity to reflect on the history of their country and state, and to talk about what kind of future they want," said Kerry Tymchuk, chair of the 15-member America 250 Oregon Commission that was created by the 2024 Oregon Legislature.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she can be trusted with the country's finances and has been "clear" about reasons for her decisions, following claims she misled the public in the run-up to her Budget. In an interview for BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Reeves was challenged to explain why she had repeatedly warned about a downgrade to the UK's economic productivity forecasts.

One of the things I do sometimes is I fantasize about what would happen if such and such met such and such. How much would you pay to see a no holds barred between Pete Hegseth and Jason Crow? You know how long Pete Hegseth would last? Maybe a half a second. Jason was in the 75th Ranger Regiment, he said.

This is a major problem. And one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop. Allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to do his job in a fair and objective manner.

Victor Aenlle, the former San Mateo County Sheriff Chief of Staff who was accused of mistreating sheriff's employees, was ordered to turn in his badge, gun and any other county property today (Nov. 21).

The tirade came after his guest, retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, pointed out Graham's past as a JAG lawyer in Iraq. Scarborough unloaded, calling the senator's remarks pathetic and sad: Lindsey knows better. I mean, and that's what's so pathetic about it. It's sad. I know Lindsey and I've known Lindsey for a long time. He's been a friend, but Lindsey knows better.

The 90-second video was first posted early on Tuesday from senator Elissa Slotkin's X account. In it, the six lawmakers - Ms Slotkin, Arizona senator Mark Kelly, and representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan - speak directly to US service members, whom Ms Slotkin acknowledges are "under enormous stress and pressure right now". "The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our constitution," Ms Slotkin wrote in the X post.

Broadcaster refuses to apologise during Oireachtas hearing Broadcaster and media coach Ivan Yates has said he has "some regrets" about his comments that Fine Gael should "smear the bejaysus" out of Catherine Connolly during the presidential campaign. But he has refused to apologise for the remarks, which he made in a podcast by Newstalk Radio, saying they were "weaponised" and "deliberately manipulated" by Ms Connolly's campaign.

I am often left scratching my head in confusion over some of the opinions held by people in this fine country of ours, most frequently when in relation to the Irish language. There are so many contradictions, such rampant self-shaming, and a severe under-appreciation of the beauty of it. This was made particularly evident during President Catherine Connolly's campaign and inauguration.
