«Кинофакты»: Безымянная звезда — 3
2018-12-08 11:15
О румынской пьесе «Безымянная звезда» Михаил Козаков впервые услышал еще будучи студентом. Желание перенести ее на киноэкран у будущего режиссера возникло сразу, но тогда он и не догадывался, что на воплощение этой мечты в жизнь у него уйдет больше двадцати лет. Свою режиссерскую карьеру Казаков начинал с телеспектаклей, которые пользовались большим успехом и у зрителей, и у начальства. За двенадцать лет Козакову удалось зарекомендовать себя в качестве крепкого теле-режиссера и получить карт-бланш от Гостелерадио на постановку любой пьесы на свое усмотрение. Казаков тут же предложил «Безымянную звезду». Начались репетиции, которые вскоре пришлось остановить после того, как руководство Гостелерадио посетило одну из них. Казакова моментально обвинили в антисоветчине.

USA: Baby Jesus put in cage as part of nativity scene highlighting immigration crises
2018-12-08 13:12
A church in Dedham, Massachusetts, has put baby Jesus inside a black metal cage as part of a nativity scene aimed at creating a message about immigration, as seen on Friday. The Saint Susanna Parish church wants the nativity scene to shine a light on ongoing global refugee and immigration crises. Shielded by a screen of glass, the nativity scene features a sign with the message 'peace on earth?.' «The idea of the nativity scene was to mirror in the nativity what is happening in the world,» said Reverend Steve Josoma, head pastor at the parish. «So we put a fence there to illustrate the separation of peoples and we put a little barrier around Jesus to show the separation of families which is taking place at our border,» he explained. The scene has led to an outcry from some conservatives in the US but locally only a few people in the church’s community say it has crossed a line, said Reverend Stephen Josoma. «This kind of went national and it went viral and unfortunately some of that went on a lot of conservative networks who have been inundated with calls, a lot of them very angry, and a lot of them think its politicising,» he said. «I think people here are ok with that, I have only heard from like one or two here who thought it was crossing a political line,» he added.

Canada: Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou bail hearing to resume on Dec. 10
2018-12-08 14:11
The Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver decided on Friday to continue bail hearings on Monday for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. Forty-six-year-old Meng Wanzhou, the daughter of Huawei's founder, was arrested in Canada on December 1 on US fraud charges, one of which relates to the alleged use of a shell company to circumvent sanctions against Iran. Meng Wanzhou allegedly used a tech company known as Skycom to sell computer equipment despite US embargos on the Islamic republic. The US maintains that the company was one and the same as Huawei while Wanzhou is alleged to have presented it as a separate entity. The top executive who was arrested at Washington's request could face a jail sentence if extradited to the US. China has claimed her innocence and is demanding her release. Reporters who were denied access to court proceedings, set up camp outside the court building, interviewing attendees who were exiting after the five-hour bail hearing.

2018-12-08 16:00
Police arrested as many as 70 ‘Yellow vest’ protesters who had marched on Belgian capital streets on Saturday. Security forces deployed tear gas against protesters who tried to gain access to blockaded areas housing European institutions, including the offices of the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Protesters seemed to have been inspired by similar 'yellow vest' protests upsetting cities across France in recent weeks. The Yellow Vest movement emerged last month after French President Emmanuel Macron announced controversial hikes in fuel prices to encourage a transition towards greener energy.

Friday protests later took a violent turn as police clashed with protesters, deploying tear gas and arresting several in the process. The Yellow Vest movement emerged last month after French President Emmanuel Macron announced hikes in fuel taxes to encourage a transition towards greener energy.

2018-12-08 18:52
A group of migrants attended the 'Academy for Integration' scheme in Bergamo on Friday where they took part in classes and cleaning work and sat down together for a meal. The academy is a pilot project aimed at the active integration of asylum seekers, focused on language and civic and professional training, according to the organisers. After one year at the facility in northern Italy, the voluntary participants can take advantage of an internship and possibly an employment contract at a company in the Bergamo area. Those taking part do so on a voluntary basis. «We don't enslave or militarise anyone. It's not our style. Let's try to offer, also through some rules and timing, a better integration,» said Roberto Trussardi, director of the Bergamo branch of the Catholic Church's Caritas organisation. The 'Academy for Integration' is promoted by the Municipality of Bergamo, the Ruah cooperative, the Catholic Church and Confindustria Bergamo (the national chamber of commerce). The project is reportedly among those that apply for national funding to help with the integration of migrants. There are currently 30 asylum seekers taking part in the project, with that number set to increase to 60. «We tell them 'You'll learn Italian, we’ll tell you how we are, since you live in our county, you have to know how we are; not just that we have to know how you are,» said Christophe Sanchez, the academy’s director. Yarthe, an asylum seeker from Gambia said, «I really appreciate being in the academy because the academy is teaching me a lot Participants follow a strict schedule, waking up at 6.30 am, before cleaning their accommodation.
