Par Charlène Badasie | Publié il y a 25 secondes La prochaine série de gladiateurs Ceux sur le point de mourir du réalisateur Roland Emmerich a été reprise par Prime Video à travers l'UE. D'après Deadline, l'émission, conçu par Centropolis, Hollywood Gang et Street Entertainment, a été sécurisée pour être distribuée outre-Atlantique par High End Productions, une coentreprise créée par Herbert G. Kloiber et Constantin Film. La prochaine série Gladiator, Ceux sur le point de mourir, sera diffusée à la fois sur Peacock et Prime Video à travers l'UE. L'accord de distribution européen de Prime Video est un exemple rare d'une série Peacock accessible sur une plate-forme de streaming différente dans d'autres régions. Plusieurs pays, dont l'Allemagne, le Royaume-Uni, la France, l'Italie, l'Espagne, le Portugal, les Pays-Bas, l'Autriche, la Suisse, l'Irlande, la Pologne, la Turquie, Andorre, Monaco, le Luxembourg et la Belgique, ont acquis les droits de l'émission. De plus, des négociations sont en cours avec différents licenciés européens pour des droits de télévision gratuite en dehors de la fenêtre de distribution exclusive sur Prime Video. Ceux sur le point de mourir promet d'emmener le public dans un voyage épique à travers le monde complexe et corrompu des compétitions de gladiateurs de la Rome antique. Basé sur le livre de non-fiction du même nom de Daniel Mannix, le spectacle devrait être un grand drame, plongeant dans de multiples aspects de la société romaine, des jeux de gladiateurs brutaux à la pègre criminelle ténébreuse et aux politiciens manipulateurs qui financent le somptueux et sport sanguinaire qui captivait les masses romaines. Situé dans la Rome antique, Ceux sur le point de mourir relatera la vie des gladiateurs, explorant leurs difficultés, leurs espoirs et leurs rêves. Anthony Hopkins prend le rôle de l'empereur Vespasien, une figure charnière au zénith de l'Empire romain. L'histoire voit une population romaine agitée aux prises avec des sentiments d'ennui et de violence croissante. L'accord de distribution européen de Prime Video est un exemple rare d'une série Peacock accessible sur une plate-forme de streaming différente dans d'autres régions. Pour maintenir l'ordre, les autorités s'appuient fortement sur deux stratégies : la distribution de nourriture gratuite et d'extraordinaires divertissements de gladiateurs. Au cœur du spectacle de divertissement, le Circus Maximus accueille des courses supervisées par quatre importantes sociétés appartenant à des patriciens connues sous le nom de factions bleue, rouge, blanche et verte. Posséder des parts dans ces groupes est l'actif romain le plus convoité de tous. Rejoindre Hopkins sont des acteurs talentueux qui donnent vie à un grand choix de personnages. Iwan Rheon incarne Tenax, un baron du crime ambitieux aux motifs obscurs. Liraz Charhi joue Bérénice, reine des Judéens conquis actuellement retenue captive à Rome. Rupert Penry-Jones apparaît comme Marsus et Jojo Macari dépeint Domitian Flavianus. Les autres acteurs de la série Peacock Gladiator incluent Gabriella Pession comme Antonia, Dimitri Leonidas comme Scorpus, Sarah Martins-Court comme Cala, Kyle Rowe comme Ehud, Davide Tucci comme Manilius, Adrian Bouchet comme Porto, Pietro Ragusa comme Fimbria et Michael Bundred comme Torel. Pépé Barroso. Goncalo Almeida, Kyshan Wilson, Alicia Edogamhe, Hossein Taheri et Thomas Hunt sont par ailleurs les vedettes. Basé sur le livre de non-fiction du même nom de Daniel Mannix, le spectacle devrait être un grand drame, plongeant dans de multiples aspects de la société romaine, des jeux de gladiateurs brutaux à la pègre criminelle ténébreuse. Sous la direction de Roland Emmerich, connu pour son savoir-faire dans la réalisation de grands spectacles, These About To Die est entre de bonnes mains. La vision du cinéaste et ses prouesses narratives feront certainement de la série une expérience cinématographique d'histoires entrelacées qui explorent diverses facettes de la société romaine, que les téléspectateurs auront du mal à oublier.

Avec un gros budget de 140 millions de dollars, Ceux sur le point de mourir est sur le point de rivaliser avec les films et les séries télévisées à gros budget se déroulant dans la Ville éternelle, comme Gladiateur et Rome.

Spinifex - Spinifex Beats The Plague - a skronky good time from this “punk jazz” sextet

Spinifex Beats The Plague was recorded in June 2021 by Olivier van Betsbrugge, mixed and mastered by the legendary Pierre Vervloesem, and provided with beautiful cover art and graphic design by Gonçalo Almeida. The album consists of 9 tunes, among which a cover of a Madurai N. Krishnan piece, a composition by Bart Maris inspired by burning airships, two miniatures by Goncalo Almeida chasing out the pest demons, and an epic by Jasper Stadhouders. The four remaining pieces are compositions by Tobias Klein, one of them a homage to Selim Sesler and another dedicated to Mohammad Reza Shajarian. The tune Zoowiezoo celebrates a memorable night at the Berlin venue Sowieso, while Four20 is not really a reference to the herb but alludes to its theme’s 420 notes.

Tobias Klein - alto sax Bart Maris - trumpet John Dikeman - tenor sax Jasper Stadhouders - guitar Gonçalo Almeida - bass Philipp Moser - drums

‘Instead of Coronavirus, the Hunger Will Kill Us.’ A Global Food Crisis Looms. (NYT) In the largest slum in Kenya’s capital, people desperate to eat set off a stampede during a recent giveaway of flour and cooking oil, leaving scores injured and two people dead. In India, thousands of workers are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to keep hunger at bay. And across Colombia, poor households are hanging red clothing and flags from their windows and balconies as a sign that they are hungry. The coronavirus pandemic has brought hunger to millions of people around the world. National lockdowns and social distancing measures are drying up work and incomes, and are likely to disrupt agricultural production and supply routes—leaving millions to worry how they will get enough to eat. The coronavirus has sometimes been called an equalizer because it has sickened both rich and poor, but when it comes to food, the commonality ends. It is poor people, including large segments of poorer nations, who are now going hungry and facing the prospect of starving.

Stopping virus a huge challenge at crowded US meat plants (AP) Daily reports of giant meat-processing plants closing because workers tested positive for the coronavirus have called into question whether slaughterhouses can remain virus-free. According to experts, the answer may be no. Given that the plants employ thousands of people who often work side by side carving meat, social distancing is all but impossible. Because of that, the risk of catching the virus will likely remain even as companies take numerous steps to increase protections for workers. The list of companies dealing with infected workers has been growing every day at plants across the country. Among the latest was the closure Wednesday of Tyson Foods’ huge pork-processing plant in Waterloo, Iowa, after numerous workers tested positive. The closures shouldn’t cause any immediate meat shortages or big price jumps at supermarkets, but as Purdue University economist Jason Lusk noted, “It’s a very fluid and volatile situation to keep an eye out for in the days to come.”

US adds cameras at Mexico border despite drop in crossings (AP) The Trump administration has been quietly adding military surveillance cameras at the U.S.-Mexico border in response to the coronavirus pandemic, though fewer people appear to be crossing illegally. It’s the latest move as operations at the U.S.-Mexico border have become increasingly militarized and secretive. Documents obtained by The Associated Press show the Department of Defense, at the request of the Department of Homeland Security, sent 60 mobile surveillance cameras and 540 additional troops to the southwest border this month. The cameras are manned by the military and will be removed after the pandemic has ended, said Matthew Dyman, a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection, which is under the Department of Homeland Security. The request for cameras was not “based on border flow numbers” but on rising coronavirus cases in Mexico, he said.

On the margins of Paris, the food bank queues grow longer (Reuters) The queue for the food bank snaked for hundreds of metres, out of the shuttered marketplace bordered by tower blocks and down the side of a four-lane highway on the outskirts of one of Europe’s wealthiest cities. In Paris’s depressed suburbs, the number of people relying on food handouts is soaring as a strict coronavirus lockdown plunges France into its deepest recession since World War Two. Many worked in the grey economy before the outbreak, and now receive little protection from France’s generous welfare state. “There were lots of women who worked looking after children... There was a whole economy based on getting by,” said Bachir Ghouinem, volunteering at the food bank in Clichy-sous-Bois, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the city centre. “So as everything stopped what did people find themselves with? Nothing.”

Summer canceled? (Reuters) Across the continent, from Portugal’s Algarve to the islands of Greece, beaches are deserted. There are no visitors at the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, Edinburgh’s August festivals have been canceled and the Netherlands’ flower fields are closed. The big question facing Europe’s tourism industry, however, is whether it can still salvage summer. “We have to endure the situation and get some revenue this summer,” said Goncalo Rebelo de Almeida, board member of Portuguese hotel chain Vila Gale. “I hope ... that will at least allow us to pay fixed costs. And then we will bet on it returning to normal in 2021.” In the meantime, calls are growing for economic support to haul hotels, restaurants, tour operators, travel agencies and cruise companies back from collapse.

A date across closed borders (NYT) She brings the coffee and the table, he the chairs and the schnapps. Then they sit down on either side of the border, a yard or two apart. And that is how two octogenarian lovers have kept their romance alive despite the closure of the border that falls between his home in the very north of Germany and hers in the very south of Denmark. Every day since the police shut the border to contain the virus, Karsten Tüchsen Hansen, an 89-year-old retired farmer, and Inga Rasmussen, an 85-year-old former caterer, have met at the Mollehusvej border crossing to chat, joke and drink, while maintaining a modicum of social distance. Love, Mr. Tüchsen Hansen says, “is the best thing in the world.”

As the world looks for coronavirus scapegoats, India pins blame on Muslims (Washington Post) In India, the search for scapegoats during the coronavirus pandemic has focused squarely on the country’s sizable Muslim minority, a community of 200 million that felt under threat even before the advent of covid-19. News channels and some ruling-party officials rushed to blame Muslims for the rising number of coronavirus cases in the country after an Islamic missionary group in New Delhi emerged as a super-spreader. In recent weeks, Muslims have been assaulted, denied medical care and subjected to boycotts—all in the name of fear of the virus. While India stands out for the wave of vitriol directed toward its Muslim community, it is by no means alone. In the United States and Europe, there have been reports of discrimination and attacks on people of Asian descent. In China, Africans have been evicted and refused entry to restaurants amid fears that foreigners could spark a new round of infections. In Pakistan, activists say that the Hazara ethnic minority has been unfairly blamed as the source of the virus.

Taliban clashes with government forces in Afghanistan (Foreign Policy) Fighting throughout Afghanistan has killed dozens of Afghan government forces and Taliban fighters over the past 24 hours. The Afghan government reported multiple attacks on government checkpoints in the country’s northern and eastern provinces, killing 19 Afghan forces. In Kandahar, provincial police say they killed 31 Taliban fighters. Taliban leaders have not claimed responsibility for any of the attacks, but the clashes highlight how slow the path to stability under Afghanistan’s nascent peace process is likely to be.

Pentagon Walks Back Trump’s Twitter Outburst On Iran (Foreign Policy) On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter, “I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.” U.S. defense officials were reportedly surprised by the tweet, as they had not been briefed on any change in policy toward Iran. In response, the Pentagon sought to manage up, downgrading the commander-in-chief’s announcement to a warning. “What he was emphasizing is all of our ships retain the right of self-defense, and people need to be very careful in their interactions to understand the inherent right of self-defense,” David Norquist, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, said at a Pentagon press briefing. Norquist added that the president’s tweet was “very useful.” Iran’s military spokesman, in a reference to the U.S. Navy’s coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier the USS Theodore Roosevelt, hit back at the president’s threat, “Today, instead of intimidating others, the Americans would do better to save their troops infected by the coronavirus,” he said.

Warning Shots: Israel Spares Hezbollah Fighters to Avert a War (NYT) When the missile exploded near the black Jeep Cherokee, three Hezbollah operatives leapt out and ran for cover. A moment later, appearing to know they had time, they returned to get their bags, and strolled away before a second missile obliterated the SUV. No one was killed or wounded in the Israeli attack on the Hezbollah team in Syria last week, but that was the point. According to several current and former Israeli and Middle Eastern officials, Israel has adopted a policy of warning Hezbollah operatives in Syria before bombing their convoys to avoid killing them and risking a devastating war in Lebanon. Israel’s policy of pre-strike warnings in Syria, which has not been previously reported, reflects its fear of engaging Hezbollah’s vast rocket arsenal even as it tries to draw a red line to prevent Hezbollah from acquiring and developing precision-guided missiles, which it sees as a strategic threat.

Syria’s Looming Pandemic Disaster (Foreign Policy) Idlib province, the last pocket of rebel-held territory in Syria, is already facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. There haven’t yet been any confirmed coronavirus cases in Idlib, but U.N. and other foreign officials fear that it’s only a matter of time. Humanitarian groups are bracing for the coronavirus to sweep into the province, where they fear it would spread like wildfire among displaced populations without access to adequate health care. “Millions of people, whose lives have already been marked by suffering, live in camps, collective shelters and informal sites where social distancing and regular handwashing are luxuries,” Imran Riza, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator for Syria, said in a statement last week. Meanwhile, U.S. officials are concerned that the chaos sown by the pandemic could give the remnants of the Islamic State an opportunity to regroup in Syria. ISIS militants have already been credited with several attacks in southern Syria this month, according to the Institute for the Study of War.

South Africa’s military to enforce lockdown (Foreign Policy) Governments around the world are increasingly relying on their militaries to help respond to the coronavirus pandemic. In South Africa, where President Cyril Ramaphosa announced this week that his government would deploy 70,000 troops to enforce lockdown measures. South Africa has one of the strictest lockdowns in the world, marked by mass arrests and police brutality. Although the strict measures are credited with drastically reducing the spread of the coronavirus, critics worry that the latest deployment will turn South Africa into a “military state.”

‘Sadness’ and Disbelief From a World Missing American Leadership (NYT) As images of America’s overwhelmed hospital wards and snaking jobless lines have flickered across the world, people on the European side of the Atlantic are looking at the richest and most powerful nation in the world with disbelief.

“When people see these pictures of New York City they say, ‘How can this happen? How is this possible?’” said Henrik Enderlein, president of the Berlin-based Hertie School, a university focused on public policy. “We are all stunned. Look at the jobless lines. Twenty-two million,” he added.

“I feel a desperate sadness,” said Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European history at Oxford University and a lifelong and ardent Atlanticist.

The pandemic sweeping the globe has done more than take lives and livelihoods from New Delhi to New York. It is shaking fundamental assumptions about American exceptionalism—the special role the United States played for decades after World War II as the reach of its values and power made it a global leader and example to the world.

Today it is leading in a different way: More than 840,000 Americans have been diagnosed with Covid-19 and at least 46,784 have died from it, more than anywhere else in the world.

As the calamity unfolds, President Trump and state governors are not only arguing over what to do, but also over who has the authority to do it.

“America has not done badly, it has done exceptionally badly,” said Dominique Moïsi, a political scientist and senior adviser at the Paris-based Institut Montaigne.

The pandemic has exposed the strengths and weaknesses of just about every society, Mr. Moïsi noted. It has demonstrated the strength of, and suppression of information by, an authoritarian Chinese state as it imposed a lockdown in the city of Wuhan. It has shown the value of Germany’s deep well of public trust and collective spirit, even as it has underscored the country’s reluctance to step up forcefully and lead Europe.

And in the United States, it has exposed two great weaknesses that, in the eyes of many Europeans, have compounded one another: the erratic leadership of Mr. Trump and the absence of a robust public health care system and social safety net.

“America prepared for the wrong kind of war,” Mr. Moïsi said. “It prepared for a new 9/11, but instead a virus came.”

Galp to start drilling exploration well offshore Portugal

LISBON (Reuters) – Portuguese oil company Galp Energia is set to start drilling the country’s first deep water offshore exploration well later this year but with only modest hopes of success, its exploration and production director said on Monday.

The project, being developed by a consortium of Galp and Italy’s ENI off the Alentejo region’s Vicentine coast, known for its beaches and large natural park, has led to protests by environmental activists and local municipalities.

Thore Kristiansen told Reuters on the fringes of a petroleum engineering event in Lisbon the seismic data shots made the project look “interesting enough so that we at least have to try”, even if turns out dry.

He said the partners were “calibrating” the project to meet various conditions set by the Portuguese Environmental Agency in May, but did not expect any delays before the drilling is due to begin in September.

“But this is frontier drilling. Nobody has done it before and there is a high likelihood that we will not find anything,” he said, adding that the geological formation could be similar to the oil-containing structures along the eastern coast of Canada.

“We have applied the same … models for what we are doing in Portugal. But the reality is that we don’t know,” he said.

The company, which has most of its best assets in Brazil’s large offshore oil fields, plans to boost output by 50 percent by 2020 to 150,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, and hopes to increase its natural gas output after 2020 by bringing onstream the giant Mamba area in Mozambique.

Partners in the Mamba project, headed by operator ENI, expect to submit their operation and development plan to the government “very, very soon” Kristiansen said, projecting the final investment decision on the project next year.

In Angola, Kristiansen expects to bring onstream the Kaombo Norte offshore project in August, while a second floating production unit should start production next year. The two should compensate for recent declines in output from mature Angolan fields.

Asked about Galp’s potential interest in the likely sale of a large stake in Brazil’s offshore Santos basin by Petrobras as part of the long-running “transfer-of-rights” dispute, Kristiansen said he could not disclose any concrete plans.

But he also said Galp would study all possibilities for further development and growth in Brazil, including the transfer of rights licenses.
