Over 450 people were arrested following another night of chaos in France as police and protesters continue to clash in riots across the country.

Police fired tear gas and fought with violent black-clad anarchists in Paris and across France on as hundreds of thousands of protesters marched against Mr Macron's plan to raise the pension age.

Some 457 people were arrests and 441 security forces were injured, ministers said on Friday morning.

The ninth day of nationwide protests, mostly peaceful, disrupted train and air travel. Teachers were among many professions to walk off the job, days after the government pushed through legislation to raise the retirement age by two years to 64.

Demonstrations in central Paris were generally peaceful, but groups of "Black Bloc" anarchists smashed shop windows, demolished street furniture and ransacked a McDonald's restaurant. Clashes ensued as riot police drove back the anarchists with tear gas and stun grenades.

"There are thugs, often from the far-Left, who want to bring down the state and kill police officers," Mr Darmanin said after visiting Paris police headquarters on Thursday night.

Small groups continued to clash with police in Paris late into the night, lighting fires throughout the city centre and playing cat-and-mouse with security forces.

Police had also fired tear gas at some protesters in several other cities, including Nantes, and Lorient in the west, and Lille in the north, and used water cannon against others in Rennes in the northwest.

Labour unions fear protests could turn more violent if the government does not heed mounting popular anger over pension curbs.

"This is a response to the falsehoods expressed by the president and his incomprehensible stubbornness" Marylise Leon, deputy secretary general of the CFDT union, said.

"The responsibility of this explosive situation lies not with the unions but with the government."

Unions called for regional action over the weekend and new nationwide strikes and protests on March 28, the day Britain's King Charles is due to travel to Bordeaux from Paris by train.

The main entrance of the Bordeaux town hall was set ablaze on Thursday, days before the monarch was due to walk through on his visit to the southwestern city.

  • Writing, shooting, editing, and releasing a feature-length film is an incredibly complicated and strenuous process. There are so many moving parts that there’s no guarantee that the movie will translate to the audience or turn out the way it was envisioned. Because of this, movies can range from absolutely terrible to unbelievable works of art. The best of the best are those that had the perfect team working on it, evoke emotion, and executed their vision. These are some of those films.

    Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind Is A Rollercoaster of Emotion

    When out-there director Michel Gondry and existential screenwriter Charlie Kaufman came together in 2004, the result was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The film features Jim Carrey as Joel Barish, a lonely man who becomes romantically involved with an outgoing woman named Clementine, played by Kate Winslet.

    After their relationship turns sour, the two undergo a procedure to erase each other from their minds, but it’s not as easy as it seems. The result is a highly emotional film and an incredibly original take on storytelling, with Kaufman’s script taking home the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

    Unforgiven Turns The Western On Its Head

    Three cowboys

    Clint Eastwood got his start in the Western genre. However, he was never any typical gunslinger. This is most evident in Unforgiven, a film he directed and starred in. The movie tells the story of a former outlaw played by Eastwood, who has given up on his old ways to raise his children.

    However, in desperate need of money, he takes up one more contract, but it's more than he bargained for. It's a tale that Eastwood describes as showing the true ugliness of violence, not glorifying it like typical Western tropes. It provides the audience with a realistic experience of what it's like to kill and to die.

    There Will Be Blood Shows The Darkness Within People

    intro-1651696745

    Director Paul Thomas Anderson brings the hunt for oil and greed for money in the late 19th century to life in his film There Will Be Blood. Starring the revered Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, the two men battle for the control of oil, with Day-Lewis' character slowly but surely becoming more unhinged.

    It's a commentary on the negative effects of capitalism on American society, and the depraved things greed can drive people to do. Day-Lewis' astonishing performance is perfectly backed by Robert Elswit's shooting and Anderson's screenplay, creating a film that looks and feels as black and grimy as oil.

    There's A Far Deeper Meaning Behind John Wick

    DBC7R46C33UIZ5SJTCVUROEMXM

    Starring Keanu Reeves, John Wick is a breathtaking action film that puts many others in the same category to shame. It's fast-paced and well-executed, with Reeves training for eight hours a day, five days a week, for four months. His dedication to the process is one of the reasons the film turned out so well.

    While the lighting, special effects, and plot may be gripping, John Wick is more than a story about a former assassin on a killing spree after the passing of his dog. It's about a man in mourning who lost the only thing that connected him to his recently-deceased wife. It has an emotional depth that most action films go out of their way to avoid, making it especially impactful.

    You Were Never Really Here Is Incredibly Dark And Different

    Joaquin Phoenix

    You Were Never Really Here follows Joe, (Joaquin Phoenix) a hammer-wielding hitman hired by a senator to rescue his daughter from a sex trafficking ring. However, he soon discovers that he's fallen deep into a dangerous trap.

    While the plot may not seem all that original, the way the characters are handled and how the film subverts expectations is what makes it stand out among the rest. Phoenix beautifully shows his character's suffering while simultaneously being a loving son and a ruthless killer. It's his ability to do so and the plot's unexpected turns that takes the film to new heights.

    he Witch Revitalized The Horror Genre

    Family from the film

    Set in the 1630s, after being banished from their Puritan Plymouth community, a father and his family set off into the wilderness where they establish a farm on the edge of a vast forest. After their infant son mysteriously disappears, the family tears itself apart while simultaneously being manipulated by a supernatural force in the woods.

    For his directorial debut, Robert Eggers spent four years researching for the film, making it as realistic and equally as horrifying as possible, right down to the dialogue. On top of the impending sense of doom that the film evokes, it wouldn't have been nearly as effective without the outstanding performances of the cast both young and old.

    Manchester By The Sea Will Break Anyone's Heart

    Casey Affleck

    Manchester by the Sea isn't exactly the kind of film you watch for entertainment, or to walk away feeling talkative and satisfied. Written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan, the film follows Lee Chandler, (Casey Affleck) who is forced to return to his hometown after the death of his brother.

    Learning that he now has custody of his teenage nephew, he is also confronted with his past, an event that created a wound that will never heal. Rightfully, Affleck won an Oscar for his performance as did Lonergan for Best Original Screenplay. As amazing as it is, the film evokes emotions you never want to have to experience in real life.

    Mad Max: Fury Road Pushes Action To Its Absolute Limits

    Tom Hardy and Charlize

     Today, it's easy to become desensitized to CGI explosions and action sequences, but that's not the case with Mad Max: Fury Road. The fourth installment of the Mad Max franchise, the film follows Max Rockatansky, (Tom Hardy) a borderline feral human, living in a post-apocalyptic world. He finds himself in a heist with Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to save five women from the grips of an evil warlord, and chaos ensues.

    Although the plot is enticing, it's the action and effects that make it a cut above. The majority of the stunts are real, as well are the out-of-this-world vehicles sweeping across the wasteland. Furthermore, the world-building is incredible with the cinematography making everything feel a little too real.

    Mulholland Drive Was Named The Greatest Film Of The 21st Century

    Naomi Watts

    Since the early days of film, directors have been experimenting with surrealism, having been inspired by other forms of surrealism art. In Mulholland Drive, David Lynch perfectly executes how surrealism should be translated into film. The movie is comparable to a disturbing dream, blurring the lines between dreams and reality.

    Film critic Robert Eggers commented that the film "Works directly on the emotions, like music." There are so many memorable scenes in the film that leave the audience glued to the screen, with BBC naming it the greatest film of the 21st century so far.

    Her Depicts A Grim Future

    Joaquin Phoenix

    Her is a science-fiction romance written, directed, and produced by Spike Jonze. Set in the near future, the movie follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely writer going through a divorce. To combat his loneliness, he buys an operating system (Scarlet Johansson) who he ends up falling in love with. The beautiful use of pastel colors, smoggy cityscapes, and the film's score make the audience feel like they're right next to Twombly.

    Joaquin's stunning performance allows the audience to sympathize with his character, simultaneously experiencing his highs and lows. The way society is portrayed almost hits a little too close to home, a picture of a world that doesn't seem too far from now.

    The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford Is More Like A Painting Than A Movie

    Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck

    Regarded as one of the most underrated films of the time, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a different approach to the Western genre. It takes its time, focusing more on the characters rather than typical Western gunfights.

    With each frame being able to pass as a painting, the film follows the celebrity Jesse James (Brad Pitt) and his struggles with mental illness, and his relationship with an unstable fan (Casey Affleck). Cinematographer Roger Deakins even invented a series of new lenses to get the shots that he wanted with critics Scout Tafoya describing it as "somewhere between a tintype and an oil painting."

     In the new adaptation of Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, the role of Daisy Jones is played by Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley.

    "My whole family are musicians, so I certainly have a lot of experience around musicians," she told Entertainment Weekly about playing a singer. "I dated a few musicians. I've grown up with a lot of that in my life. So, I 'm very familiar with musicians, but I 'm also very not familiar with singing or playing guitar. Like at all."

    Eagle-eyed viewers noticed a hidden tribute to Keough's grandfather Elvis in episode two of Daisy Jones: When Daisy takes the stage with Simone (Nabiyah Be) to perform "Two Against Three," her guitar strap looks identical to the one Elvis used in his '68 Comeback Special. The comparison was first noted by Deena Dietrich on Twitter, who blogs about Elvis.

    The guitar is actually Keough's own—so there's a chance the strap could actually be her grandfather's guitar strap. "I do have a fun fact that Daisy's guitar is my guitar," she told BuzzFeed. "It was my personal guitar and I wanted to use it in the show."

    And, Keough's scene parter, Nabyiah Be, who plays Simone, also comes from a legendary music family: Her father is reggae star Jimmy Cliff, who shot to fame in The Harder They Come, a 1972 Jamaican film.

    The guitar strap is a distinct pattern often called the the Hendrix Woodstock strap, because Jimi Hendrix used it to perform at Woodstock in 1969. When that strap was auctioned in 2008, it was described as follows (via Guitar World): "This patterned Ace guitar strap was used by Hendrix at Woodstock as well as the Hollywood Bowl in 1967 and other performances. The strap originally came from David Vega, lead guitarist of the San Francisco funk band, Graham Central Station. Vega had been given the guitar strap from a sound technician who worked at Woodstock."


     VLADIMIR Putin wanted a “total cleansing” of Ukraine with “house-to-house terror” to subdue its people, leaked spy documents show.

    Chilling emails from within Russia’s FSB intelligence service talk about orders “from the very top” for civilians to be taken to concentration camps in a bid to conquer Ukraine.

    As the Russian tyrant is finally charged with war crimes, the premeditated nature of the horror and killing which unfolded is laid bare from sources within his own security services.

    Each time Putin’s forces are pushed back, more evidence emerges of the horror they inflicted on the Ukrainian population.

    Mass graves of civilians butchered by Russian troops, others marched to their deaths at gunpoint, torture chambers and the ongoing anguish of Ukrainian parents whose children have been abducted all bear witness to Putin’s plans.

    When Putin ordered his invasion on February 24 last year he fully expected victory over Ukraine to be wrapped up in three days with the government in Kyiv 'decapitated’.

    Only heroic resistance prevented the Russians seizing Ukraine's capital than taking the rest of the country and even greater horror than already witnessed unfolding.

    The German version of the TV show will bare all - with daring daters paired up in the hopes of finding love.

    Love Island fans looking for something new might find their guilty pleasure in the programme.

    An X-rated trailer for the show reveals the naked singletons lining up ready to be picked.

    But from the look of some raunchy scenes, a handful of contestants have already shacked up.

    One couple could be seen romping on a bed in the lavish villa as others ventured out in their birthday suits for dates.

    Airing on Paramount+, the show follows a similar format to the hit show The Bachelor.

    Although The Sun has covered their modesty, TV viewers will be treated to an unpixellated full-frontal show.

    Dating Naked first aired in the US in 2014 - with the first season filmed in Panama, the second in the Philippines and the third in Bora Bora.

    It was cancelled in 2017 after three seasons.

    Germany's take on the show comes after the success of the country's series of Adam Looking For Eve.

    Daters were whisked off to a tropical island for sandy beach dates.

    Past series saw contestants get hands on with steamy massages and sink booze on wild nights.

    The show launched in Holland in 2014 and quickly spread across the continent with German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Scandinavian versions.

    Kaudulla National Park - See Elephants in Sri Lanka

    Go on a safari at Kaudulla National Park to see elephants in the wild.

    Even though I spent a short amount of time in Sri Lanka, I travelled to extraordinary sites that really left me wanting more. I witnessed historical marvels like Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Temple, and climbed natural wonders like Pidurangala Rock.

    Sri Lanka is also home to Asian elephants. I’d never seen an elephant in the wild before. Although I visited the Elephant Orphanage and embarked on daily safaris while volunteering in Kenya, I’d never witnessed these beautiful creatures in their natural environment.

    You can visit Kaudulla National Park to see elephants on a Sri Lankan safari, and that’s exactly what I did.Kaudulla National Park - See Elephants in Sri Lanka

    OUR JEEP SAFARI

    Our excursion to Kaudulla National Park was completely arranged through our stay at Mahagedara Wellness Retreat. If you’re not staying at Mahagedara, you can arrange a tour through many local companies. We travelled there in an open-air jeep so we could stand up and get the full view of our surroundings.Kaudulla National Park - See Elephants in Sri Lanka


    Why Sri Lankan Women Are So Popular Nowadays?

    Sri Lankan women are not surrounded by stereotypes about the most beautiful in the world, such as Brazilian women. They are not so famous and popular, and it’s even good – they are not yet spoiled by increased attention and foreign influence.

    Therefore, if you want to connect your life with a girl who has kept real values in herself and who will bring them to your family, pay attention to Sri Lankan girls. Here are a few more reasons why you should do this.

    • They are beautiful. Yes, this is a special beauty that is unusual for the western eye. Typically, these girls have almond-colored skin, black and thick hair, the same black eyes and puffy lips. And all this without the intervention of plastic surgery and cosmetology – moderate makeup is the upper limit.
    • They are educated. More then half of the population of Srilanka has a university degree. And this is one of the highest rates in this part of the planet. Sri Lanka ladies are generally educated and can maintain a conversation on any topic.
    • They are kind. The population in Sri Lanka is kind and smiling people. They are not inclined to conflicts, they do not create reasons for scandals, and they smile in any circumstances. Since the majority of the population professes Buddhism, these are people who are not at all prone to cruelty.
    • They are loyal. Sri Lankans have a good relationship with both their neighbors and foreigners. Do not doubt that your pretty Sri Lankan girl will not care what country you come from – if you are a good person and suitable for her.
    • They are funny. Most of the girls from this country live a rather difficult life, but they still retained the ability to enjoy every day, sing, dance, wear bright clothes and thank Buddha for this beautiful day. Be sure that with your Sri Lankan girl your life will also be filled with fun, optimism, love, and gratitude.

    What Are Sri Lankan Wives Like?

    Meet This Hottie at DateYourGirl.com

    Hot Sri Lankan women are simply created to preserve family values and build strong relationships. Let’s find out why.

    • They love children. Sri Lanka wives have a very pronounced maternal instinct. Typically, three to four children in a family are the norm. Richer families can afford even more. Therefore, the desire to have a lot of children is normal for this country.
    • They are patient. Buddha teaches us to be grateful and patient. These girls share this teaching, and this is clearly not the case when you can count on a scandal if you do not buy her a new pair of shoes.
    • They are great housewives. Traditionally, as soon as a woman from Sri Lanka gets married, this automatically means that she can no longer work, and take her time with worries about home, family, and husband. Most women do not really mind such a way of life, but given that most of them have higher education, they also see nothing wrong with combining family and work. But regardless of whether the Sri Lankan bride will work or not, she will still be a good housewife, mother, and lover.
    • They are modern and traditional in one bottle. These girls are aware of the need for their personal development and advancement, but still, keep family values ​​within themselves. They already realized that it is unreasonable to rely only on a man, but the feminine tells them that it is right when the man is in charge. In a nutshell, Sri Lankan mail order brides can be described as wives who know their place and know their worth, are ready to obey their husbands, but at the same time be able to cope on their own.
    • They are not capable of treason. Sexy Sri Lankan women consider adultery unacceptable for a woman. Unfortunately, the men of this country do not share this opinion. In the next section, we will dwell on this issue in more detail.

    Why Sri Lankan Women are Looking for a Foreign Husband?

    Talk With Her at CharmCupid.com

    This is partly paradoxical why beautiful Sri Lankan women see foreigners as a suitable couple for themselves. After all, the society of this country is quite religious. However, not everything is so simple and straightforward – we live in the 21st century, and this makes its own adjustments. Here are the reasons why not all Sri Lankan women want to marry a local guy.

    • Contractual marriages. In this country, it is still a reality. Moreover, if the boyfriend’s parents didn’t like the girl, he cannot marry her. That is, the girl must pass a double test – and this is humiliating. Like living with a person chosen by parents, not the heart. Sri Lankan women begin to understand this and want to make personal choices.
    • Local men very often cheat. Men of this country are prone to betrayal, and most girls pretend that they do not notice it. Moreover, this is a normal picture when a man has several wives in different cities. Officially, this is not permitted by law, but since the country does not have a unified register of marriages, a man can get married any number of times. For a woman, the only way to find out about this is to wait until good people tell. Sri Lankan girls begin to feel that they are worth more than that attitude, even with all their patience and loyalty.
    • Gender inequality and the standard of living. Sri Lanka has one of the highest living standards in Asia, but this figure is several times lower than in America or Europe. Sri Lankan girls with higher education understand that they deserve a better place in society, and marriage to a foreigner automatically means a simplified procedure for a visa and work in another country.

    Where to Meet Sri Lankan Women?

    If you want to meet a Sri Lankan girl, then it is very simple to buy a ticket to this country and start diving into the unique life of Ceylon right on the spot. This is the most obvious way, but not the most effective and not the most economical.

    We recommend that you start with dating a Sri Lankan woman online, and only then decide on a personal meeting. Modern technologies of online dating allow you to find the most suitable girl due to the matching algorithm based on artificial intelligence. However, in order for this to work, choose reliable sites with good reviews. In the meantime, we will share practical tips on dating Sri Lankan women.

    Sri Lankan Dating Culture: X Tips on Dating a Sri Lankan Girl

    Follow the five simple rules so that your communication with the Sri Lankan girl is interesting, laid-back and effective.

    In the mood for some throwback drama? Cool, settle in because apparently the production on 1998's Shakespeare in Love was kinda a mess! Turns out Julia Roberts was originally cast as Viola de Lesseps—a role which which eventually went to Gwyneth Paltrow. And producer Edward Zwick just rehashed why Julia departed the movie in an essay for AirMail, via Variety, saying the studio was initially super excited about her being cast. To the point where, “The mere possibility of having the Pretty Woman wearing a corseted gown got the studio excited enough to cough up the dough.

    A Shakespeare in Love producer revealed that Julia Roberts was originally cast and quit the movie after awful chemistry reads.

    The thing is, Julia was fully obsessed with the idea of Daniel Day-Lewis playing Shakespeare, even asking “for two dozen roses to be sent to Daniel Day-Lewis, along with a card that read: 'Be my Romeo.'" Alas, DDL was committed to other projects, and a disappointed Julia ended up doing a chemistry read with with Ralph Fiennes (who was eventually cast).

    “Even as Ralph did his best to elicit the famous smile, Julia barely acknowledged him,” Edward said, per Variety. “I’m not suggesting she was deliberately sabotaging, but it was a disaster nonetheless. I tried to catch Ralph’s eye to apologize as he left but he couldn’t get out of there fast enough. After he was gone, I turned to Julia, awaiting her reaction. ‘He isn’t funny’ is all she said.”

    Julia went on to do chemistry tests with a ton of other actors (including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and Sean Bean, to name a few), but things took a turn when she did a reading with Paul McGann.

    “On the morning of the test, Julia emerged from makeup, looking radiant in full period costume,” Edward recalled. “But once she began to say the words, something was wrong. There was no magic. The problem wasn’t the script. Or Paul McGann. It was Julia. From the moment she began to speak it was clear she hadn’t been working on the accent.”

    Apparently, Edward tried to be "encouraging," but Julia quit the next morning, with a manager simply saying “Julia had flown back to the U.S. and that she was leaving the project.” At this point, Universal had already spent $6 million.

    “I’ve never spoken to Julia again,” Edward said. “Instead, I’ve observed from afar as her work grew in depth and stature. I bear her no ill will. She was a frightened 24-year-old. I wasn’t much older, trying to act the grown-up as I watched the Globe Theatre torn down. And with it my dreams of grandeur.”

  • On Wednesday, Mr Macron broke weeks of silence on the new policy, insisting the law would come into force by year end. He compared protests to the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol.

    Slogans and banners took aim at the president, who avoided reporters as he arrived in Brussels for a European Union leaders summit.

    Opinion polls have long shown a majority of voters oppose the pension legislation. Anger mounted last week when the government rammed the changes through the lower house of parliament without a vote.

    The French interior ministry said 1.089 million protested across the country, including 119,000 in the capital which was a record since protests started in January. The CGT union said 3.5 million people marched in the country, equalling a previous high on March 7.

    "I came here because I oppose this reform and I really oppose the fact that democracy no longer means anything," Sophie Mendy, an administrative medical worker, told Reuters at the Paris rally. "We’re not being represented, and so we’re fed up."

    Electricity output was cut as unions raised pressure on the government to withdraw the law. Flight services will continue to be reduced at the weekend, the civil aviation authority said.

    Protests also targeted oil depots and blocked a liquefied natural gas terminal in the northern city of Dunkirk. Rolling strikes at oil depots and refineries have led to major petrol shortages in the southeast and west of France.

    Protests against the new law, which also accelerates a planned increase in the number of required working years to draw a full pension, have drawn huge crowds in rallies organised by unions this year.

    Over the past seven nights demonstrations have been held in Paris and other cities with rubbish bins set ablaze and clashes with police. It has been the most serious challenge to Mr Macron's authority since the "Yellow Vest" revolt of disgruntled lower-income people four years ago.
