Pada tahun 2022, Aneil Karia memenangkan Academy Award untuk film pendeknya yang dibintangi oleh Riz Ahmed. Kini, ia menyindir kandidat parlemen bergaya Reform dengan bantuan Jack Lowden dan platform daring yang tidak biasa. Beberapa pembuat film memiliki ekspektasi yang tidak realistis terhadap karya mereka; Aneil Karia bukan salah satunya. “Saya tidak cukup berhalusinasi untuk berpikir bahwa ini akan menjatuhkan pemerintah,” katanya tentang film barunya, Vote Gavin Lyle – tetapi siapa tahu, mungkin saja bisa. Sebuah satir yang lucu, cerdas, diperankan dengan luar biasa, dan dibentuk dengan sempurna meski berukuran kecil, Vote Gavin Lyle membintangi Jack Lowden sebagai calon kandidat parlemen bergaya Reform untuk daerah pemilihan fiktif Inggris tengah, Fletcham dan Wold. Dengan durasi hanya 16 menit, film ini benar-benar menyindir pola pikir sayap kanan jauh; bukan preman jalanan pengibar bendera yang menyerang minoritas, melainkan para Farageist yang lebih cerdik dan cakap berbicara yang mendominasi kepemimpinan gerakan tersebut. Tanpa ingin membocorkan bagian akhir film ini, wajar jika dikatakan ada elemen empati, bahkan simpati bagi karakter utamanya. Karia mengatakan: “Saya pikir tidak menarik atau berguna untuk melihat orang-orang ini – politisi sayap kanan jauh, anggota dewan, calon kandidat, siapa pun – dan hanya mengatakan betapa jahatnya mereka. Saya pikir yang mengejutkan saya tentang mereka adalah mereka sama rentannya dan takutnya dengan kita semua. Lanjut membaca...

Burung nightingale yang sulit dijumpai sedang 'berkembang dengan baik' di Northward Hill, Kent, namun para ahli menyampaikan kekhawatiran seputar hilangnya habitat. Paduan suara fajar di RSPB Northward Hill di Kent merupakan keriuhan suara: burung robin yang melodis, burung cuckoo dua nada, hingga kicauan serak burung whitethroat. Bahkan suara angsa dan lenguhan sapi dari rawa-rawa Thames di sekitarnya menambah kemegahan simfoni tersebut. Namun pada akhir April, satu penyanyi energik mencuri perhatian. Selama beberapa minggu setelah tiba dari Afrika Barat, nightingale menghabiskan malam — dan dini hari — dengan nyanyian yang rumit. Saat mencari pasangan dan menandai wilayahnya, nyanyiannya terkadang semanis dan semerdu penyanyi soul, namun di lain waktu terdengar sepanik alarm mobil. Lanjutkan membaca...

An internal watchdog will review the agency’s handling of records related to Jeffrey Epstein, including whether relevant documents were properly redactedSign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts in your inboxA majority of Americans blame Donald Trump for surging gasoline prices, which is weighing on his Republican party ahead of November’s congressional midterm elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.Some 77% of registered voters in the poll, which concluded early this week, said Trump bears at least a fair amount of responsibility for the recent rise in gas prices, which was sparked by his decision to launch a war on Iran along with US ally Israel.Our preliminary objective is to evaluate the DOJ’s processes for identifying, redacting, and releasing records in its possession as required by the Act.Alleged victims of sexual abuse by Epstein have complained that DOJ repeatedly failed to redact photos and other details that could reveal their identities and did not make public all the information prosecutors have about Epstein associates who were allegedly aware of his crimes or conspired with him but were never charged.Lawmakers have made similar complaints and have said they suspect DOJ has not released some relevant documents.The Trump administration has moved to reclassify marijuana, more than four months after Trump signed an executive order directing the attorney general to move it from schedule I to schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.Trump, apparently abandoning his attempt to frighten Iran’s leaders into negotiating by channeling Richard Nixon’s “madman” theory, ruled out the use of nuclear weapons in his conflict with Iran.Trump has decided to invite wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in December at Trump’s Doral golf resort, the Washington Post reports.Trump confirmed that the government is considering a plan to bail out or ‘“just buy” Spirit Airlines, but confused Barack Obama with Joe Biden, and Jet Blue with People Express, which has been defunct since 1987.India’s foreign ministry denounced comments from the rightwing US commentator Michael Savage, posted on social media by Trump, which argued against awarding birthright citizenship to the US-born children of immigrants “from China or India or some other hellhole on the planet”.
