      The People Before review – house holds terrible secrets in efficient rural-set thriller

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025 • 1 minute

    A family seek a fresh start but their new home isn’t the haven of tranquility they were hoping for in this interesting but predictable thriller

    This slowburn psychological thriller has come up with an interesting slant on the house-with-a-terrible-secret storyline. Based on a novel by the Guardian’s books editor Charlotte Northedge, it’s the story of Jess (Liz White), a charity fundraiser who’s swapped east London for Suffolk, buying a country pile with her husband Pete (Ray Fearon). The move is a fresh start for their marriage, but inevitably the couple’s problems follow them. And Jess’s identity, put on hold by a career break and motherhood, seems to unravel in unfamiliar surroundings, giving the movie an unsettling atmosphere.

    The house is a fixer upper. So when Pete leaves to catch the six o’clock train to London, Jess’s job, after dropping their son Archie off at primary school, is to manage the building work (there is a vague plan for holiday lets on the grounds). But nothing is going to plan, beginning with the discovery of the dreaded Japanese knotweed in the garden. There’s worse danger lurking in the house, which predictably turns out to have a terrible past, which might explain why the locals are so unfriendly. Jess makes only one new friend in town, brooding local artist Eve (Imelda May). Archie is becoming worryingly withdrawn.

      Italy sends 49 refugees to Albania in bid to resume disputed scheme

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Latest push to process migrants in Balkan country despite court challenge comes amid increase in boat arrivals

    Italy has transported 49 people to Albania, in the latest push by Giorgia Meloni’s government to enforce a legally disputed plan to have asylum claims processed in the Balkan country as part of a hardline policy critics have called “disgraceful”.

    The Italian navy ship Cassiopeia arrived at Shëngjin port on Tuesday morning carrying passengers intercepted on Saturday in the Mediterranean south of the island of Lampedusa. They will be identified and have a health check before being transferred to a detention centre in Gjadër, about 12 miles away.

      Residents of Lebanese border village return to bury dead as Israeli troops withdraw

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    People returning to Dhayra to mourn loss of loved ones find most of settlement has been destroyed

    The mosque used to announce a death in the Lebanese village of Dhayra. The mournful call would ring loud enough that relatives on the other side of the cement border wall, in the Israeli town of Arab al-Aramshe, would be able to hear it – and prepare.

    Two days later, the residents of Dhayra and Arab al-Aramshe would gather at the graveyard, separated by barbed wire. It was the only chance for the Bedouin families, whose village is split by the Israeli and Lebanese border, to meet and check up on one another. The two countries have intermittently been at war since the 1980s, and in Lebanon speaking to people inside Israel, relative or not, is against the law.

      New documents shed light on police killing of Georgia ‘Cop City’ activist

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Records obtained by Guardian give details about events leading to death of Manuel Paez Terán, shot dead in 2023

    Previously unavailable records obtained by the Guardian shed light on the killing of environmental and social activist Manuel Paez Terán during a police operation aimed at clearing out less than two dozen people from an Atlanta-area forest as they protested against a training center planned to be built nearby known as “Cop City”.

    The incident was the first of its kind in US history, and Georgia authorities have released scant information about what happened during the police operation two-plus years ago. None of the Georgia state patrol officers involved were wearing body cams, so no video evidence of the shooting exists.

    The US was widely considered the leader in AI, but a Chinese startup has called that dominance into question

    Hello, and welcome back to TechScape. There was a lot of news last week. To run it down in an expedient fashion:

    • Donald Trump, Sam Altman, Masayoshi Son and Larry Ellison announced a $500bn initiative to expand infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence dubbed Stargate . On its heels came a press release from Meta vowing to expand its capital expenditure to $65bn in the coming year to expand its data centers.

      Biscuits, gummies and seaweed: the Tate & Lyle boss who’s moved on from sugar

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Nick Hampton, the head of the modern, low-calorie version of the historic food company, is in charge of a quest to create new ingredients

    A plate of Rich Tea biscuits is prominently placed in the centre of the table as Tate & Lyle chief executive Nick Hampton sits down at its swish London headquarters.

    His 104-year-old company’s name may be synonymous with the sugar – and Golden Syrup – found on supermarket shelves, but Hampton has had a different part to play in creating one of the nation’s favourite dunkers. Tate & Lyle creates a plethora of ingredients which offer an alternative to that sweet stuff – including extra fibre and sugar replacement in the biscuits.

      India v England: third men’s cricket T20 international – live

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Mark Wood on his series so far

    It’s great that my pace has been up there and I feel it’s coming out my hand well but the accuracy at times hasn’t been quite where I wanted it. But when I haven’t played since August, it’s pretty much expected – I’ve played two games since then. Hopefully the more I play, the better I get leading into the 50-over stuff and the Champions Trophy.
