«Кинофакты»: «Начало»
2018-08-05 11:38
Фильм «Начало», сделавший Инну Чурикову актрисой, прославившейся на всю страну, на самом деле был всего лишь генеральной репетицией к большой картине о Жанне Д’Арк. Это стало причиной очень драматичного выбора: профессия или муж.
По сюжету Чурикова исполняет одновременно роль актрисы, играющей Орлеанскую деву, и наивной провинциалки Паши Строгановой, которая только мечтает стать большой артисткой. Сценарий практически списан с биографии самой актрисы.
Режиссер фильма Глеб Панфилов впервые увидел Чурикову именно в роли Бабы Яги, которую она исполняла в Московском ТЮЗе. В тот момент он готовился к съемкам их первой совместной работы «В огне брода нет» и утвердил Чурикову на роль.
USA: Trump rallies faithful before Ohio special elections
2018-08-05 12:31
SOT, audience: «CNN sucks, CNN sucks»
SOT, audience: «Red wave, red wave.»
SOT, Donald Trump, US President: «But you got to get out and do it. You got to get out and vote. You got to get out. Because, they want to take away what we've given. They want to take away. Did you ever see this? I mean, did you see Pelosi? Who, by the way, again, controls Danny O'Connor, whoever the hell that is, but, you know. Danny O'Connor.»
US President Donald Trump held a rally in Ohio in a bid to promote Republican candidate Troy Balderson before Tuesday's special elections for the 12th congressional district at the Lewis Centre in Delaware County on Saturday.
Balderson's challenger is Democratic Party nominee Danny O'Connor.
Trump rejected previous claims suggesting he initially supported another candidate, calling these reports «fake news» and causing audience to chant «CNN sucks».
The US leader also praised his achievements during his presidency stressing, «this has been some successful period for our country. Our country has never, ever, been like this. Levels of enthusiasm the likes of which nobody has ever seen.»
The special elections for Ohio's 12th congressional district will be held on August 7.
This week's vote in the majority Republican state could indicate a swing away from the current president, as polls now show Balderson and O'Connor neck and neck.

2018-08-05 15:50
Россия, Китай и, возможно, Северная Корея вмешиваются в дела Соединенных Штатов. Об этом президент США Дональд Трамп заявил во время своего выступления в штате Огайо, сообщает телеканал NBC. По словам Трампа, число подобных действий может возрасти из-за экономического роста в США. «Мы должны остановить вмешательство и всех тех, кто атакует нас», — сказал президент.
NBC отмечает, что заявление Трампа противоречит его предыдущим высказываниям. В частности, несколько дней назад глава Белого дома назвал ложью информацию о вмешательстве России в президентские выборы в США в 2016 году.
Israel: Netanyahu says 'committee' to ease Druze outrage over state-law
2018-08-05 16:01
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in Jerusalem on Sunday after a new state-law defining Israel as a Jewish state caused mass anti-government rallies and provoked the ire of the Druze community.
Netanyahu defended his new state-law, saying: «Without the nation-state law the future of Israel as the Jewish nation state cannot be ensured for generations to come.»

The announcement comes a day after mass rallies in Tel Aviv against the new state-law.

2018-08-05 21:45
Venezuelan Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez made a call for 'national unity' while speaking at the Defence Ministry in Caracas on Sunday, one day after an apparent assassination attempt on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Switzerland: Authorities confirm no survivors as 20 killed in Alps plane crash
2018-08-05 21:57
A total of 20 people were killed in a sightseeing plane crash in the Swiss Alps, confirmed Captain Andreas Tobler, Head of Operations in the Graubunden Canton on Sunday.
«There were no survivors to be found. All 20 aboard the flight were fatally wounded during the crash,» said Tobler. «It will take several days before the forensic analysis and identification of the victims can be concluded.»
Swiss Safety Investigation Authority Daniel Knecht refused to speculate on the causes for the crash, but shared preliminary information.
«It can be determined that the plane tipped perpendicularly and hit the ground with relatively high speed, said Knecht. «Today's temperatures are an impairment for the aircraft's performance. But it's never the weather conditions that are the cause of an accident, but the way they are dealt with,» he added.
«Fundamentally there weren't the conditions there for an emergency landing. That would require a relatively flat angle and that wasn't the case here,» concluded Knecht.
A total of 17 sightseers and 3 crew members, all aged 42-84 years, were on board the World War Two era vintage aircraft when it crashed into the side of the Piz Segnas mountain in the Swiss Alps.

UK: White Helmet head denies involvement in Omran Daqneesh photo in exclusive interview
2018-08-05 22:04
The head of the Syria Civil Defence, commonly known as the White Helmets, Raed al-Saleh commented on Omran Daqneesh's case, claiming the organisation saved him and his brother after their house was bombed, as well as denying involvement in the viral photograph of the boy, during a video interview from Istanbul which was aired on Sunday.
«Omran Daqneesh's home was bombed and he was extracted by our team from under the rubble. We did not photograph him. The source of the photograph that was published was not the White Helmets, but a journalistic reporter. We saved him and his brother, who stayed in hospital for several months until he recovered,» al-Saleh said. Speaking of the boy's father Mohamad Daqneesh, al-Saleh said he was also taken to a hospital.
Al-Saleh was also asked about Mohamad Daqneesh's claims that the White Helmets are 'a propaganda organisation.' In response, he said Mohamad Daqneesh had no choice but to speak this way as he is not 'in total safety under the regime.'
Omran Daqneesh gained media attention at the age of five as he was pictured covered with dirt and dust in an ambulance after his home in Aleppo was attacked.
The video of Daqneesh became a global symbol of war-torn Aleppo in August 2016 and was widely circulated by the media. His older brother, Ali, died from injuries sustained in the attack.
In June 2017, the boy appeared with his father in an interview with Ruptly.
The boys' father went on to criticse the media for exploiting the footage, adding that the press 'arrived before the ambulance' and stressing that his son was injured slightly but everyone started convincing him that boy's state was severe and later used the images without his permission.
