MLB NOTESEverything old was new again at this year’s Cairo Film Festival . Filling out a super-sized 45 th edition, the Egyptian event introduced a new section dedicated to heritage titles, showcasing 10 gems of world cinema, among them titles like “The Lonely Wife” and “The Color of Pomegranates” to mark the centenaries of film greats Satyajit Ray and Sergei Parajanov, as well as 4K restorations of “The Godfather Part II,” “The Thief of Baghdad” and “Cleopatra,” among several more. As part of a bolstered Cairo Classics program, the festival also premiered 14 milestones of Egyptian cinema freshly remastered and reintroduced to an eager public. And as the Cairo Film Festival charts a new course under president Hussein Fahmy and artistic director Essam Zakarea, this restorative vocation will stay a cornerstone of their wider mission. “Egyptian cinema is one of the oldest in the world, but we have a problem with our archive,” Zakarea tells Variety . “We’re losing historic films every month and every day, because the majority of classic Egyptian cinema has not yet been digitized. So we’ve taken it on ourselves to help change that.” The festival soft-launched the Cairo Classics section in 2022 by debuting restorations of classics “Diary of a Country Prosecutor” from Tawfik Saleh and “A Song on the Passage” from Ali Abdel Khalek. The new section proved an immediate success, encouraging Fahmy, who took his festival post after six decades as one of Egyptian cinema’s leading matinee idols. “The idea appealed to everyone,” says Fahmy. “It was a revelation for every spectator, so I thought, why don’t we restore even more titles?” As a board member of Egypt’s Holding Company for Cultural and Cinematic Investment, Fahmy discovered a library of nearly 1,400 heritage titles that could benefit from a technological touch-up. And with both public and private supports at his disposal – and with the help of Egyptian Media Production City’s Audio-Visual Heritage Restoration Center – the festival president went about repairing, cleaning up and the subtitling some awfully damaged prints. “Each restoration takes about E£100,000 [$2,014],” says Fahmy. “And the subtitles cost about E£20,000 [$402], so the cost really isn’t that much. [And by] subtitling these films, we can then offer them much wider exposure and distribution, so the project is really appealing both for me, and for the whole company.” Among the first batch of titles readied and premiered at this year’s festival are four midcentury standouts from filmmaker Salah Abou Seif, among them “Cairo 30” and “The Thug,” as well as “Palace Walk” and “Palace of Desire” from director Hassan El-Imam – with nearly all of them based on the works of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz. While the screenings proved particularly successful in the suburban satellite cinemas where the Cairo Film Festival has sought to spread out, the festival president even heard echoes from further afield. “After our opening screenings I received many demands from foreign countries,” says Fahmy. “We’re getting emails from everywhere, asking us to repair other damaged films in our local lab.” “We try to look at our cinema as a living art,” adds Zakarea. “We don’t distinguish between old and new, because art doesn’t have a limited lifetime. It doesn’t get old – on the contrary, these classics seem to get younger and more powerful by the passage of time.”

Australia remains a "close friend" of Israel despite the Jewish state's prime minister rebuking the Albanese government for its support of Palestinian statehood. or signup to continue reading Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles defended Australia's UN vote in support of a two-state solution - a long-held position of the Australian government - and said it did not change the two nations' friendship. "We're a close friend and we don't see that there is any change in our friendship, our relationship, our support for Israel," Mr Marles told ABC Radio on Friday. "Nor is there any change in our support for pursuing a two-state solution; that's been the bipartisan policy of our nation for decades." The non-binding resolution on Wednesday, supported by Australia and opposed by eight countries including Israel and the United States, urged Israel to "bring to an end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible". It further recognised the "inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination and the right to their independent state". The vote marked a change from Australia, which previously abstained from similar motions. In his first remarks directly addressing Australia's stance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labelled Australia's "flip-flop" disappointing. "Awarding anti-Semitism and terrorism with a state in the heart of the Jewish ancient homeland and cradle of civilisation will invite more terrorism and more anti-Semitic riots at campuses and city centres, including in Australia," Mr Netanyahu's office reportedly told The Australian. Mr Netanyahu also implied Australia was no longer a key ally. "Thankfully, our key allies support Israel as we strive for true peace and security," he said. Mr Marles rejected the suggestion the vote would encourage terrorism and anti-Semitism, arguing Australia was simply using its voice to support Israel and a two-state solution. "Our responsibility here is to try and use our international voice in that way," he said. "We're not changing from the idea that there should be a two-state solution." Israel's war in Gaza was sparked by an attack by Palestinian leadership group Hamas on October 7, 2023, that killed 1200 people and resulted in 250 hostages being taken, according to Israeli authorities. In response, Israel has since waged a brutal occupation of the Gaza Strip which has killed more than 44,000 people, according to the local health ministry, with tens of thousands more missing or believed to be buried under rubble. Mr Netanyahu, along with his former defence minister and Hamas leaders, was charged with war crimes under an International Criminal Court ruling, meaning Australia would be required by international law to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he stepped foot on Australian soil. Continuing his stinging rebuke, Mr Netanyahu said Australia had failed to denounce the October 7 attacks. "To the contrary, they have embraced those atrocities that ­included the rape, murder and ­beheading of Jews," he said. "It's a shame that the current Australian government wants to award these savages with a state." The Australian government has repeatedly condemned the Hamas attacks on Israel and called for the release of Israeli hostages. Mr Netanyahu's comments come as Victoria Police investigates a "suspicious" fire that engulfed a south Melbourne synagogue on Friday morning. "It's pretty clear from your reporting that this is no accident, that this is a deliberate act of violence, an attack on a place of worship, and let's call it out," Labor frontbencher Jason Clare told Seven's Sunrise program.

Sen. Jon Ossoff wants a second term in Georgia. He plans to work with Donald TrumpSAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s federal police on Thursday formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup to keep him in office after his defeat in the 2022 elections. Police said their sealed findings were being delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who decides either to formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. Bolsonaro told the website Metropoles that he was waiting for his lawyer to review the accusation, reportedly about 700 pages long. But he said he would fight the case and dismissed the investigation as being the result of “creativity.” The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then. Police said in a brief statement that the Supreme Court had agreed to reveal the names of all 37 people who were accused “to avoid the dissemination of incorrect news.” Dozens of former and current Bolsonaro aides also were accused, including Gen. Walter Braga Netto, who was his running mate in the 2022 campaign; former Army commander Gen. Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira; Valdemar Costa Neto, the chairman of Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party; and his veteran former adviser, Gen. Augusto Heleno. Other investigations produced formal accusations of Bolsonaro’s roles in smuggling diamond jewelry into Brazil without properly declaring them and in directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses. Bolsonaro has denied any involvement in either. Another probe found that he had abused his authority to cast doubt on the country’s voting system, and judges barred him from running again until 2030. Still, he has insisted that he will run in 2026, and many in his orbit were heartened by the recent U.S. election win of Donald Trump, despite his own swirling legal threats. But the far-reaching investigations already have weakened Bolsonaro’s status as a leader of Brazil’s right wing, said Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo. “Bolsonaro is already barred from running in the 2026 elections,” Melo told the The Associated Press. “And if he is convicted he could also be jailed by then. To avoid being behind bars, he will have to convince Supreme Court justices that he has nothing to do with a plot that involves dozens of his aides. That’s a very tall order,” Melo said. A formal accusation of an attempted coup means the investigation has gathered indications of “a crime and its author,” said Eloísa Machado de Almeida, a law professor at Getulio Vargas Foundation, a university in Sao Paulo. She said she believed there was enough legal grounds for the prosecutor-general to file charges. Bolsonaro’s allies in Congress have been negotiating a bill to pardon individuals who stormed the Brazilian capital and rioted on Jan. 8, 2023 in a failed attempt to keep the former president in power. Analysts have speculated that lawmakers want to extend the legislation to cover the former president himself. However, efforts to push a broad amnesty bill may be “politically challenging” given recent attacks on the judiciary and details emerging in investigations, Machado said. On Tuesday, Federal Police arrested four military and a Federal Police officer, accused of plotting to assassinate Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes as a means to overthrow the government following the 2022 elections. And last week, a man carried out a bomb attack in the capital Brasilia . He attempted to enter the Supreme Court and threw explosives outside, killing himself. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Among the most prevalent mental health conditions currently are anxiety disorders, affecting millions around the globe. Starting from mild unease to dreadful fear, anxiety manifests itself in different forms and penetrates into the personal, social, and professional spheres of an individual's life. While sometimes experiencing anxiety is a natural reaction to pressure, chronic anxiety calls for attention and care. Identifying Anxiety Symptoms Anxiety is usually associated with excessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, and troubles concentrating or irritability. Other physical symptoms include a rapid heart rate, sweating, shaking, gastrointestinal problems, among many others. Prolonged existence of these symptoms that interfere with daily functioning can be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Triggers and Causes It is multifactorial and hence might be caused due to some combination of factors: genetic, environmental, and psychological. Anxiety can sometimes result from stressful life events or trauma, even a family history of anxiety. Sometimes, factors such as a lack of sleep, poor diet, too much screen time, may worsen it. Controlling Anxiety: Easy Tips Deep breathing exercises calm the nervous system and thus reduces one's anxiety. Try practicing the 4-7-8 method: breathe in for four counts and hold for seven and exhale for eight seconds. Regular Physical Activity: Vigorous activities release endorphins, which are the natural "feel-good" mood elevators. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day, such as by walking, doing yoga, or swimming. Healthy Sleep Patterns: Follow a routine and provide your body and mind with good rest. Mindfulness and Meditation: Practice mindfulness in helping you live in the moment, cut down on excessive thinking and worrying. Limit Stimulants: Caffeine and alcohol can all actually make the anxiety worse. Seeking Professional Help If the self-help techniques employed are inappropriate then, proper psychiatric help should be taken. There are, of course, therapies such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) that in actual fact work well for anxiety disorders. Medication shall only be used in the most extreme of cases and absolutely never on its own with therapy. Breaking the Stigma Open discussions of mental health will remove the stigma attached to anxiety. Experience and treatment of it must be ordinary to encourage most people in taking care of their psychological condition. With the right tools and support, anxiety can be something lived with; the earlier treatment begins, the sooner, letting people fulfilling lives.
