ECB’s display of solidarity with Israel sparks internal furor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:15:45 GMT

FRANKFURT — Tensions over Europe’s stance on the Israeli-Hamas conflict, which have already rattled the European Commission, have spread to its central bank.The extra twist in Frankfurt is that some staff not only feel the ECB is taking the wrong position, but that it shouldn’t take a position at all.On October 9, with the shock of the terrorist attacks on Israel two days earlier still raw, the ECB put out a message on social media saying: “We stand with the people of Israel,” showing a picture of the Israeli flag flanked by European flags in the central bank’s lobby. It wasn’t clear whether the post was issued in the name of the organization as a whole, of the governing council, or just the six-strong executive board. Asked to clarify, an ECB spokesperson declined to answer directly, but gave a response markedly more nuanced than the original tweet, saying: “The ECB is shocked and saddened by the unfolding events in the Middle East. Our hearts go out to the in...

Putin’s (still) not dead, Kremlin insists

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:15:45 GMT

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday denied rumors of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s death which had spread on social media, calling them a hoax.Information that Putin had died and that a doppelgänger had taken over his post is “an absurd information canard,” Peskov told Russian state-owned newswire RIA Novosti on Friday.This is the second time this week that the Kremlin official has had to dismiss speculation about Putin’s health.An unverified report that Putin had gone into cardiac arrest, published on a Telegram channel on Sunday evening, got the rumor mill going — forcing Peskov to firmly deny the claim.“Everything is fine with him,” Peskov originally said on Tuesday.There is a great deal of secrecy around the personal life and health of Putin — who seeks to project a strongman image to the public — which has been a topic of speculation for years.So far, Russian authorities have almost invariably denied the rumors surrounding Putin...

As the ‘Hollywood of the South,’ Atlanta has boomed. Its actors and crew are now at a crossroads

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:15:45 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — A lighting technician is mowing lawns. A camera assistant is teaching guitar again. An actor has thought about shifting careers.For more than a decade, work had been nonstop in Atlanta’s booming film industry thanks to Georgia’s extremely generous tax break. Dubbed the “Hollywood of the South,” metro Atlanta became a ubiquitous backdrop for huge projects, including Marvel films and Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” As soundstages sprouted up, the insatiable need for crews turned the city into a prime destination for both behind-the-scenes workers seeking to break into the entertainment industry and “journeymen” actors wanting a reprieve from the hustle of Los Angeles or New York. But work dried up last winter and has been at a near-standstill ever since the industry’s writers went on strike in May and actors joined them in July. Writers reached a deal late last month, but with the actors strike still ongoing, countless Atlanta-based performers, as w...
