自民党の古川禎久元法相は 、茂木派(平成研究会)の全体会合で、同派を退会する意向を表明した。岸田文雄首相が岸田派解散を宣言して以降、茂木派では小渕優子選対委員長や関口昌一参院議員会長ら5人が既に離脱を表明しており、古川氏が6人目。自民6派閥のうち4派閥が解消を決める中、存続方針の茂木派は分裂含みだ。

Россияне осенью прошлого года активизировали свое наступление, которое, к сожалению, имеет некоторые успехи, и пока еще продолжается рассказал в эфире телемарафона глава ГУР Кирилл Буданов, пишут «Комментарии»
В ноябре 2023
россияне активизировали наступление на Украину. По состоянию на сейчас оно еще
продолжается, сообщил руководитель Главного управления разведки (ГУР)
Минобороны Кирилл Буданов.
При этом он
подчеркнул, что россияне добились некоторых успехов на поле боя.
“К сожалению для
нас, определенное продвижение в полях у них есть и возле Авдеевки. Но это не
то, на что они рассчитывали. Они хотели как можно скорее выйти на барьерный
рубеж по реке Черный Жеребец, это по Харьковской области”, — рассказал Буданов.

Кроме того, по
его словам, россияне также планировали выйти на админграницы Донецкой и
Луганской области, но к этому “даже близко ничего нет”.
При этом Буданов
считает, что вскоре противник исчерпает свой наступательный потенциал.
“Наступление все
еще продолжается. Где-то в начале весны оно иссякнет уже полностью”, – считает
Буданов.

The great Chita Rivera changed Broadway forever

0

Chita Rivera died Tuesday at age 91. A brilliant dancer who originated roles in “West Side Story,” “Chicago” and “Kiss of The Spider Woman,” she really was all that jazz.
When the news broke Tuesday of Broadway legend Chita Rivera’s death at 91, the song “Somewhere” started playing in my head.
The beautiful tearjerker from “West Side Story,” often used during “In Memoriam” segments, is about the young Sharks and Jets eventually finding peace. “There’s a place for us,” it goes.
But then it hit me like a Jet during the rumble: “Somewhere” is the wrong number to encapsulate the dynamo of life, dance, voice, looks and sheer force of personality that was the indomitable Rivera.
Far better suited is her proud lyric as Anita, the role she originated in “West Side” that made her a superstar in 1957, during the vivacious “America”: “I like the island Manhattan! Smoke on your pipe and put that in!”
We liked her, too. Playing some of Broadway’s most iconic parts over a decades-long career, she helped make New York City and the American musical theater the cultural forces they are today.
Or there’s the tune she sang as sharp-tongued prisoner Velma Kelly, another unforgettable role, in “Chicago” in 1975: “It’s good. Isn’t it great? Isn’t it grand? Isn’t it swell?”
Rivera was good, great, grand and swell. She was a scintillating dancer for whom choreography was not simply learned and repeated, but fully embodied with such knock-down-drag-out confidence you’d swear she was improvising.
How about her sexy ditty “Gimme Love” as Aurora in 1992’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman”? “If there’s an earthquake, I will not attend,” she crooned. “If there’s a plague, don’t invite me, my friend. But if you want to keep me looking in your direction, let’s make love!”
Always sensual and vibrant, Rivera was as age-defiant a performer as there could possibly be.
When the actress helped celebrate Broadway in Times Square in the summer of 2021 while the theaters were shut down, she abundantly made that clear.
“I began my career in the theater over 70 years ago,” Rivera, then 88, told the crowd. “And I know what you’re all thinking: ‘I don’t look a day over 60!’ ”
She didn’t.
Yes, “Somewhere” is not the right song to sum up Rivera.
But this whoopee-hotcha classic is perfect: “Come on babe, we’re gonna brush the sky. I betcha Lucky Lindy never flew so high.”
Lucky us, we got to experience Chita Rivera. She really was all that jazz.

Nowa Konstytucja i starcie z dziennikarzem. Konferencja prezesa PiS

0

Jarosław Kaczyński zapowiedział, że jego ugrupowanie będzie dążyło w przyszłości do zmiany konstytucji. Prezes PiS zdradził jakie zapisy mogłyby się w niej znaleźć. Podczas konferencji doszło również do starcia z jednym z dziennikarzy, który zapytał Kaczyńskiego o relacje z Donaldem Tuskiem.
Jarosław Kaczyński zapowiedział, że jego ugrupowanie będzie dążyło w przyszłości do zmiany konstytucji. Prezes PiS zdradził jakie zapisy mogłyby się w niej znaleźć. Podczas konferencji doszło również do starcia z jednym z dziennikarzy, który zapytał Kaczyńskiego o relacje z Donaldem Tuskiem.

We wtorek Jarosław Kaczyński wraz z wiceprezesem PiS Mateuszem Morawieckim zainaugurowali działanie “Zespołu Pracy dla Polski”, którym za zadanie wypracować m.in. nowe punkty programowe dla Polski.

– To początek inicjatywy, która ma mieć duże znaczenie nie tylko dla naszej formacji czy prawicy, tylko ma mieć duże znaczenie dla Polski – mówił prezes PiS. Stwierdził przy tym, że “mamy dzisiaj w Polsce proces radykalnego odchodzenia od państwa prawa i od demokracji”. 
Jak dodał Kaczyński “chcielibyśmy wrócić do sytuacji, w której można dyskutować z politycznymi przeciwnikami”. Podczas pytań do tej deklaracji nawiązał dziennikarz TVN, który zapytał, jak prezes PiS wyobraża sobie współpracę z Donaldem Tuskiem, po tym, gdy ostatnio porównał szefa rządu do führera.

– To jest wycinkowe porównanie, niestety dziś mamy do czynienia z taką sytuacją, że prawo w oczywisty sposób jest łamane. Donald Tusk użył takiego określenia: “prawo, tak jak my je rozumiemy”. Niestety to jest tak, że ta analogia się narzuca w tym odcinku. A nie np. w sprawie ludobójstwa czy innych zbrodni – wyjaśniał prezes PiS. 

ZOBACZ: J. Kaczyński w Kielcach. Nazwał W. Kosiniaka-Kamysza “tygryskiem”

Zarzucił też dziennikarzowi stronniczość. – Współpraca w takich sprawach jest możliwa przy uznaniu normalności demokratycznej, czyli, że istnieje rząd i opozycja, która nie jest sama w sobie zbrodnią, jak najwyraźniej uważają przedstawiciele partii, którą, jak mi się wydaje, pan reprezentuje – powiedział Kaczyński. 

– Nie jestem przedstawicielem żadnej partii, jest dziennikarzem i zadaje pytania na konferencji prasowej – odparł dziennikarz. – Jestem przytomny i to widzę, ale widzę też, jak pan te pytania zadaje. Pozostanę na stanowisku, że TVN jest formacją medialną bardzo ściśle związaną z rządzącą obecnie partią – zakończył dyskusję prezes PiS.

Podczas konferencji prasowej prezes PiS stwierdził, że konstytucja w obecnym kształcie “zawiera wiele słabych punktów”.

ZOBACZ: J. Kaczyński o sytuacji w Polsce: Wyjściem jest okres przejściowy i nowe wybory

– Choćby brak możliwości takiego twardego, jednoznacznego i przecinającego te praktyki, które są w tej chwili podejmowane, działania przez np. prezydenta. Gdyby coś takiego było, to te wszystkie fatalne wydarzenia, które miały miejsce, zostałyby natychmiast zatrzymane. I być może konstytucja zawierałaby np. nakaz zmiany rządu w tej sytuacji czy rozwiązania parlamentu – wymieniał.
Prezes PiS uważa, że ustawa zasadnicza jest w tej chwili łamana. – Będziemy dążyli kiedyś, gdy znów przejmiemy władzę, żeby ta nowa konstytucja – bo ta obecna właściwie przestaje obowiązywać, tak jest łamana, że można mówić o jej nieobowiązywaniu – by były w niej nowe rozwiązania. Tam na pewno te sprawy zostaną zabezpieczone. (…) To wszystko w tej nowej konstytucji musi być zablokowane – zapowiedział. 

Polityk odniósł się również do kwestii Trybunału Konstytucyjnego. Jak wyjaśniał “tę sprawę należałoby rozwiązać inaczej niż w tej chwili”. 

ZOBACZ: D. Tusk: Odnoszę wrażenie, że pan prezes Kaczyński jest coraz bardziej odklejony od rzeczywistości

Przypomnijmy, że nie jest to jedyna wypowiedź prezesa Kaczyńskiego sugerująca, że przepisy obecnej konstytucji nie są respektowane. Podczas zapowiedzi trasy po Polsce przed wyborami samorządowymi, że jego formacja będzie “przekazywała konsekwentnie dalej” informacje o działaniach rządu.

– Obawiamy się, że materiałów do przekazania będzie więcej, bo ta władza konsekwentnie porusza się na tej drodze, która w gruncie rzeczy doprowadziła do tego, że w tej chwili w Polsce nie obowiązuje konstytucja, prawo, obowiązuje wola władzy – mówił wówczas Kaczyński.

9 best Netflix TV shows of 2023, ranked

0

The best Netflix TV shows of 2023 include The Fall of the House of Usher, Black Mirror, Emmy winner Beef, an animated series, and more.
Netflix might be facing increasing competition from a growing number of quality shows offered on other streaming services, but it continues to deliver exciting shows of its own across every genre. From dramas to thrillers, documentaries to sitcoms, shows that were surprise hits to ones that are finally coming to an end, there was so much to watch on Netflix this year.
Which were the best shows? They feature high-profile actors like Aaron Paul, Keri Russell, and Michael Cera, as well as relative newcomers like Gabriel Basso. They include a docuseries, gothic horror film, dystopian speculative fiction, and a political thriller, among others. If you haven’t yet watched any of these eight shows, they’re all worth your time. Once you work your way through these series, check out the best shows on Netflix.9. The Crown (2016-2023)
It’s the end of an era for The Crown, with the predetermined six-season run coming to an end. Delivered in two parts, the sixth season of the historical drama about the Royal Family and the reign of Queen Elizabeth II covers the time period between 1997 and 2005. The most pivotal moments depicted include Princess Diana’s romance with Dodi Fayed, as well as her tragic death. There’s also Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s budding relationship and Prince Charles’ (now King Charles’ wedding to Camilla.
It’s a bittersweet end to the series that has been lauded for its costumes, acting, writing, and more. The Crown is one of those shows that even people who aren’t fans of the Royal Family find fascinating. While season 6 doesn’t cover some of the more recent events, including Prince Harry stepping down and leaving England and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, it remains one of the best TV shows of the 21st Century.
Stream The Crown on Netflix.8. The Diplomat (2023-)
The Diplomat marks Keri Russell’s return to the small screen. In the political thriller that’s like The West Wing meets The Night Agent, she plays Kate Wyler, a career diplomat who is suddenly thrust into a position of higher power after being asked to work as U.S. ambassador to the U.K. There’s an international crisis and the president and his staff believe she’s the best person for the job.
The series is heavy on complex dialogue as Kate navigates challenges in this new position, including learning that there are even bigger plans for her. Her husband Hal, brilliantly played by Rufus Sewell, is a former U.S. ambassador who has rubbed some people the wrong way. He tries to remain at arm’s length while his wife shines, but it’s not so easy for the man who is used to calling the shots. Created by Debora Cahn, who previously worked as a writer and producer on The West Wing, The Diplomat is a fast-paced, politically charged story. Sure, the story takes liberties compared to what could happen during a real-life geopolitical crisis, but the characters and shocking twists have made it a hit.
Stream The Diplomat on Netflix.7. YOU (2018-)
A delicious guilty pleasure, YOU has taken serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) in so many directions through its first few seasons. The fourth season moves the story all the way to London, where Joe has assumed a new identity and secured a job as an English professor at a prestigious school. He has even made some high-society friends, despite his distaste for their way of life, materialistic attitude, and lack of academic and, in his eyes, even basic intelligence.
Seeing Joe’s sadistic need to control and obsess over someone or something new plays out beautifully in the latest season. The massive twists and turns, delivered in two parts released one month apart, increased the intensity when it first premiered. Season 5 of YOU, which will arrive in 2024, has been confirmed to be the show’s last.
Stream YOU on Netflix. 6. The Night Agent (2023-)
One of the biggest surprise hits of the year, The Night Agent could have been just another run-of-the-mill action thriller amid a cookie-cutter selection of them. But something about the show, as corny as it is at times, really stood out for viewers. Gabriel Basso is Peter, an FBI agent who has secured a job at the White House working as a Night Action telephone operator. It sounds glamorous except there’s never really any action. He sits in a dark room night after night pushing papers for his entire shift, hoping that one day the phone might actually ring. And one day, it finally happens. On the other end is a terrified young woman named Rose, whose aunt and uncle have been hunted down and killed, and she fears the assassin is after her, too.
Such begins a complicated plot whereby Peter and Rose (Luciane Buchanan), who also happens to be a cybersecurity entrepreneur, uncover a government conspiracy. Who can they trust and can they come out of it alive? There are so many layers to the story in The Night Agent, yet it’s still an easy to follow, sometimes even melodramatic story that will keep you guessing. It’s the type of show you’ll find almost impossible not to watch in a single sitting.

Launched right at the end of the year, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is exactly what fans of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the graphic novels series by Lee O’Malley have been waiting for. The animated series lived up to the hype and expectations, receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s an alternate retelling of the events from both the books and the 2010 movie. The core premise remains the same: Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera, Finn Wolfhard as a teen, and Will Forte as an older version) is a member of an indie band who falls for the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). But before he can date her, he must battle and defeat her seven evil exes. In this interpretation, Scott loses the first battle. Ramona, however, later learns that he might actually still be alive and is determined to find out what happened to him. The lives of each of her exes, meanwhile, changs drastically because of these events.
What makes Scott Pilgrim Takes Off strike a chord with die-hard fans of the cult classic is the fact that most of the original cast members returned to reprise their roles in voice form, adding a layer of authenticity to the story. The show has been praised for having the same heart and wit as the movie without simply replicating the same story in animated form. There’s a new twist and fans are loving it. For fans of the original who were kids when Scott Pilgrim vs. the World came out in 2010, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will take you right back there.
Stream Scott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix.4. Beckham (2023)
It seems like every week, there’s a new celebrity docuseries coming out on one streaming service or another. But somehow, Beckham struck a particular chord. It was all everyone could talk about when it was released. What’s most intriguing is that the docuseries appeals to not only English football and David Beckham fans, but just about anyone. Even if you didn’t know who Beckham was before watching, you’ll find him surprisingly down to earth and relatable. Those who didn’t realize the hate and vitriol that Beckham faced from his home country back in the day following a single mistake will be shocked to learn about it. More impressive, however, is his resilience and strength despite these challenges.
There aren’t any juicy or salacious reveals, nor scandals that serve as a focal point of the series: his alleged affairs are discussed with both he and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, only briefly. But it doesn’t matter. At its core, Beckham is a raw, honest look at a man’s passion for football, as well as his life story, tremendous career drive, and focus on being a good family man, husband, and father. You might currently view him as just another athlete and she as just another faded pop star. But this docuseries will make you see both of them in a completely differently light.
Stream Beckham on Netflix.3. Beef (2023)
Steven Yuen and Ali Wong are more than capable of leading a show, as both prove with captivating performances in this multi-Emmy-winning comedy-drama. They play two angry people who get involved in a road rage incident that quickly becomes an obsession for revenge. Beef received 13 Primetime Emmy nominations and won 8, including Wong and Yuen for Best Actress and Actor, respectively, as well as Best Limited or Anthology series.
Despite being a comedy, Beef is a touching, emotionally charged story about two people in bad places in their lives who take it out on one another, a heavily exaggerated version of a situation so many know all too well. Neither character is a particularly good person, but they’re trying to be…sort of. Beef is a cautionary tale about letting pettiness get the best of you. The ending will leave you sympathizing with two characters you likely loathed the entire way through.
Stream Beef on Netflix.2. Black Mirror (2011-)
It was a long four-year wait for fans to finally get a sixth season of Black Mirror. Netflix took over the series from British network from season 3 onward. The streaming service delivered incredible episodes and stories that kept fans excited, though a few weren’t as popular as others. The same is true for the long-awaited sixth season, but the most thought-provoking episodes more than make up for the lackluster ones.
The standout is Beyond the Sea, the third episode that stars Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, and Kata Mara. It’s a chilling story about two astronauts working thousands of miles away on a ship. During off hours, their consciousnesses travel home in artificial replicas to spend time with their families. It’s emotionally draining, heart-wrenching, and beautifully acted. The other four episodes in the season range from must-watch to not bad. But carried by the weight of its strongest episodes, Black Mirror easily makes the cut for this list.
Stream Black Mirror on Netflix. 1. The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)
This gothic horror drama miniseries has the potential to be the next American Horror Story. It’s loosely based on stories from Edgar Allan Poe, but interestingly, connects fictional characters he created through his works into a singular narrative. At its heart is Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood and Zach Gilford), CEO of a corrupt pharmaceutical company, and his twin sister, Madeline (Mary McDonnell, Willa Fitzgerald), who works as COO. When all six of Roderick’s children wind up dead, it’s clear that something suspicious is going on. Carla Gugino plays Verna, a woman from twins’ past who can take on many different forms, most notably, a raven.
Receiving positive reviews across the board, The Fall of the House of Usher is a unique spin on 19th-century classics, told through a dark lens on the small screen. Perfect for fans of both horror and allegorical stories, it’s an intelligent and deeply creative show.

Prosecutor in Trump's Georgia election case reaches 'temporary agreement' ahead of divorce hearing

0

Prosecutor Nathan Wade has come to a ‘temporary agreement’ canceling a hearing in his divorce proceedings that have embroiled the Georgia election interference case.
Fulton County prosecutor Nathan Wade has come to a “temporary agreement” canceling an upcoming hearing in his divorce proceedings that have embroiled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump.
The move comes on the eve of a hearing in the case that had the potential to draw the sworn testimony of Wade, who is alleged to have been involved in an improper relationship with Willis that allegedly resulted in financial gain for both of them.
The development would appear to prevent the release of any records pertaining to the allegations involving Wade and Willis that could have arisen at the hearing.
Andrea Hastings, the attorney for Wade’s wife, , “The divorce moves forward.”
“We still have a lot of work to do, preparing for either settlement or trial,” Hastings .
“The parties, by and through their counsel of record, have entered into a temporary agreement addressing all issues presently before the Court” the order said. “Then parties have further agreed that the terms and provisions of this temporary agreement shall not be filed with the court.”
As such, the hearing originally scheduled for Wednesday is canceled, the order said.
Michael Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case, is seeking to dismiss the indictment against him and disqualify Willis, alleging she “engaged in a personal, romantic relationship” with Wade, allegedly resulted in financial gain for both.
Trump, Roman, and 17 others pleaded not guilty in August to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state of Georgia.
Defendants Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, Jena Ellis and Scott Hall subsequently took plea deals in exchange for agreeing to testify against other defendants.

На опублікованих кадрах видно три окремі удари по трьох різних транспортних засобах. Відео знято в останні кілька тижнів.
Українські дрони знищують “російських найманців” та їхніх “місцевих партнерів-терористів” у Судані. Про це повідомляє Kyiv Post з посиланням на джерела в українських спецслужбах.
Опубліковані кадри зняті в “останні тижні” в невстановленій частині африканської країни. На них видно три окремі удари по трьох різних транспортних засобах.
За словами авторів публікації, операцію проти найманців із РФ проводили протягом кількох місяців.
“Знищення російських найманців та їхніх місцевих партнерів — це ймовірно робота українських спецслужб. Проводиться запланована робота”, — цитує київське видання свої джерела.
Про завдані збитки або постраждалих не повідомляється. Але відомо, що українські спецслужби діють у Судані вже кілька місяців. У листопаді минулого року в розпорядженні журналістів також опинилися кадри, зняті під час операції проти найманців.
Джерело в оборонному секторі України зазначило, що проводиться “зачистка від ПВК Вагнер, їхніх місцевих терористів і спецслужб РФ” в африканській країні. На відео, найімовірніше, показано роботу ГУР.
26 січня повідомлялося, що на одній з ділянок фронту українські аеророзвідники стали свідками бійки між військовими з російських військ і атакували росіян FPV-дронами.

Bob Odenkirk Learned He’s Distantly Related To King Charles III

0

The beloved actor seemed a little freaked out when he discovered he’s the English king’s 11th cousin, saying, ‘I am not a monarchist.’
Hasn’t Bob Odenkirk been through enough without discovering he has ties to the Royal Family? Apparently not. Per Rolling Stone, the beloved actor appeared on an upcoming episode of Finding Your Roots, where host Henry Louis Gates Jr. had an unusually unexpected surprise for him: King Charles III is his 11th cousin.
What was the erstwhile Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene Takavic’s reaction? Laughter, at first, and saying, “That is crazy.”
He then elaborated. “I’m an American. I’m not a monarchist. I don’t believe in, uh, that,” Odenkirk said. “You know, I feel like it’s a little twisted. I understand why society built itself around monarchs and leaders, and they passed them down through generations.”
He added, “I understand that goes through every society, every civilization. But I think that we’ve gotten to a better place with democracy and we should keep going down that road.”
The news was especially a shock because the relation comes from his father’s side. Odenkirk didn’t know much about his dad, who left the family when he was 15. Gates explained that the connection was pretty distant, that it was his father’s fifth great-grandfather who was born out of wedlock to Maria Catharina Bein and the Duke of Plön. Therein lies the mystery of how the current King of England is related to one-half of Mr. Show with Bob and David.
So congrats? Although it appears the news wasn’t all that welcome, as Odenkirk sounds like he agrees with the late Anthony Bourdain about the monarchy.
The Finding Your Roots episode where Odenkirk has his mind blown airs on PBS on Tuesday, January 30.
