operation manhunt is a pro - active intelligence - led initiative set up to tackle distraction burglary in hertfordshire and the surrounding regions .
operation skynet will go further than last year ' s international manhunt led by national police , operation foxhunt , by coordinating various government departments in a multi - pronged attack on both the fugitives and those who help them .
china is ramping up its international manhunt of fugitive corrupt officials with a new multi - agency operation , codenamed skynet , aimed at restricting their financial channels .
anti - corruption expert zhuang deshui said operation skynet would cut off fugitives ' financial channels .
manhunt : unabomber tells the story of how the fbi tracked down notorious unabomber ( paul bettany ) , told from the point of view of the fbi profiler ( sam worthington ) in charge of the manhunt .
it was set up in the early months of 2002 and has been focusing on detecting distraction burglary offenders , as well as working with crime prevention and community safety officers to educate elderly and vulnerable homeowners . operation manhunt also investigates incidents of rogue trading .
the elusive unabomber and his reign of terror cast a shadow for far too long . manhunt : unabomber begins august 1 on discovery .
the operation ' s launch follows a recent meeting of the fugitive repatriation and asset recovery office of the communist party ' s central anti - graft coordination group .
detective sergeant chris saunders , from operation manhunt , said :
this reduction is very encouraging and it pleasing to see that hertfordshire has become a tough place for offenders to commit crime . it is also pleasing to see that residents are listening to our crime prevention advice and being extra cautious when dealing with unknown callers .
manhunt : unabomber follows jim fitzgerald , the fbi agent who tracked down ted kaczynksi , aka the
unabomber ,
and brought him to justice through his expertise in profiling and linguistics .
multiple tony nominee brian d ' arcy james , most recently on broadway in the pulitzer prize - winning hamilton , will be seen in the august 29 episode of manhunt : unabomber on the discovery channel .
huang shuxian , a deputy chief of the ccdi and the minister of supervision , said president xi jinping had ordered anti - graft officials to step up their overseas manhunt and to prevent fugitives from sheltering in
criminal havens

underground banks and offshore companies that enable money laundering as well as people who forge licences , passports and other documents are among the key targets .
skynet will entail several projects and involve at least four ministries : the central organisation department , the supreme people ' s procuratorate , the ministry of public security , and the people ' s bank of china , according to a statement on the central commission for discipline inspection ' s website .
the ministry of public security will continue to hunt officials and other key fugitives who have fled overseas , while the national police will work with the people ' s bank of china to crack down on underground banks and offshore companies used for transferring illicit financial assets . both departments will also target those who assist others in illegally transferring money abroad .
those underground banks and offshore companies are the accomplices of fugitive corrupt officials ,
said zhuang .
the ministry will also work with the party ' s organisation department , which manages the party ' s personnel affairs , to keep strict checks on cadres ' private passports and other immigration documents . if fake papers , or any other transgressions , are discovered both the cadres and those who aided them will face punishment .
like the chinese idiom says , ' the sky may look thin and sparse , but it ' s vast and won ' t let you escape ' ,
said zhuang .
last year , china seized more than 500 fugitives and more than three billion yuan ( hk $ 3 . 8 billion ) , according to the ccdi .
meanwhile , in washington , the us state department declined to comment on reports that beijing had provided a
priority
list of chinese officials suspected of fleeing to the us , reuters reported .
however , jen psaki , a spokeswoman for the department , said china had agreed to supply
more evidence regarding their priority fugitive cases , so that we can increase our focus on the location and prosecution or removal of these fugitives
.
we continue to encourage china to provide strong evidence and intelligence to ensure that our law enforcement agencies can properly investigate and prosecute cases related to the alleged corruption ,
psaki said .

window to paris ( russian : окно в париж ) is a 1993 russian drama film directed by yuri mamin .

some french friends suggested that yuri mamin should make a joint russian-french film , which led to the creation of the 1993 film " window to paris " or " salade russe " .

the film starts with residents of a saint petersburg communal apartment of 1990s finding a window hidden behind a cupboard that leads to a mansard roof and shows the effect of this discovery .

the film is a grotesque prediction of the effect of fall of the iron curtain on the life in europe , about the invasion of russian demoralized businessmen and the humiliation of the intelligentsia in russia .

at the end of the film , the main character , nikolai chizhov , a school music teacher and a member of the russian intelligentsia , gives a persuasive speech to the children , who have decided to remain in paris .

in his words : you were born in a terrible time in a poor , devastated country .

but it is your country , after all !

do n't you want to make it better ?

at that time , this was a rather rare demonstration of patriotism ; the authors of the film and all its actors were quite sincere .

as a division of lenfilm , the film company troitsky most refused to participate in financing the project , thus putting the french partners on the edge of financial collapse and threatening the production of the film .

because of this situation , yuri mamin was urged to establish his own film company in order to attract support from commercial businesses that were thriving in post-perestroika russia .

that is how yuri mamin 's fountain fund for support and development of cinematography was created .

the name of the fund , " fountain " , is from mamin 's preceding film that won the grand prize at a french film festival , which had been organized under the patronage of madame danielle mitterrand , the wife of the french then-president françois mitterrand .

it was this in particular that facilitated financing for the film " window to paris " from the french fund cnc .

the comedy " window to paris " attained such success in france and at the berlin film festival that michael barker , the co-president of the american distribution company sony pictures classics , arranged for the film to be released in the united states , and twice requested goskino to submit the film " window to paris " for the 1994 academy award for best foreign language film .

barker wrote : " the response to the film at screenings in los angeles and new york has been terrific with both the critics and the audiences .

it seems to communicate the message of bringing two cultures together in a warm and enlightening manner ... should ' salade russe ' be the official russian entry to the academy for the best foreign film academy award , we feel confident the picture will not only be nominated for the award , but has a very good chance to ultimately win the award itself . "

however , at that time nikita mikhalkov , with his freshly finished film " burnt by the sun " , greatly wished to be considered for the oscar .

after the chairman of the russian oscar committee , elem klimov , did not agree to submit mikhalkov ’s film to the competition , mikhalkov demonstrated his outstanding skills in behind-the-scenes intrigues .

elem klimov was immediately replaced by mikhalkov 's brother , andrey konchalovsky , who agreed to send the film " burnt by the sun " to the united states .

thus , mamin was deprived of the opportunity to win the oscar .

the members of the russian oscar committee remain under the control of nikita mikhalkov , who shapes the politics of russian cinematography .

therefore , in mamin 's opinion , neither the best nor the most talented films are being submitted to the american film academy , but rather the ones created by mikhalkov 's favorite artists .

nikita mikhalkov is currently vladimir putin 's cinematography adviser .

the idea of a mystical window , a dimensional portal between russia and paris , came to the mind of the moscow screenwriter felix mironer long before gorbachev 's perestroika .

he told this idea to the filmmaker aleksey german , who sold it 20 years later to arkady tigai , yuri mamin ' co-author , for a bottle of cognac .

" window to paris " may be truly called a people 's film .

it is the most famous of all yuri mamin ’s works , and is loved by millions of viewers around the world .

many quotations from the film have become folk proverbs .

the drawing seen at the start of yuri mamin ' s
window to paris
looks like a charming french street scene , but it disintegrates before the viewer ' s very eyes . as the picture comes to life , stylized gallic gaiety gives way to russian reality , with drab colors , clumsy buffoonery , a circus atmosphere and a long line for vodka destroying any suggestion of hedonism or style .
yuri mamin ' s wacky , knockabout
window to paris ,
a sharp , no - holds - barred satire of the moral and fiscal bankruptcy of present - day russia , risks being merely excruciating in order to be excruciatingly funny . it ' s the kind of calamitous , risk - taking comedy that you must lock into right at the start if it ' s not going to affect you like chalk scraping across a blackboard .
the movie will follow the lives of the three men leading up to august 2015 , when the trio successfully stopped an alleged isis terrorist from launching a gun attack on a high - speed train traveling from amsterdam to paris .
paris is of course everything st . petersburg is not : a consumer paradise where the shelves of the stores are bursting with bounty .
lorelai’s mother knows how to throw a dinner party ( and how to fire a maid ) .
after a night of revelry , nikolai , gorokhov ( victor mihailov ) and some other boozy pals discover that there ' s a window behind the armoire in nikolai ' s room . but the roof it goes onto is not in st . petersburg but in paris . it takes a while , understandably , for these guys to realize they ' re not in st . petersburg anymore .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
window to paris ,
a buffoonish culture - clash comedy with a broadly sentimental streak , relies on similar french - russian disparities as its only sure - fire source of wit , though mr . mamin doesn ' t explore his premise cleverly enough to keep the film steadily aloft . alongside the occasional droll comparison of national temperments , there ' s also quite a bit of silliness involving a pretty french taxidermist whose studio happens to look out on the magic window . language barrier gags abound , as do scenes juxtaposing boorish , drunken russians with the haughtier , more self - possessed french . the film maker ' s ideas about both nations remain unsurprising , since they ' re fully apparent from the very start .
nikolai ( played by sergei dontsov ) has been fired from his job as a music teacher and has to live in the gym until he finds a place to stay . finally , he gets a communal room in the apartment of gorokhov ( victor mikhalkov ) . the room ' s previous inhabitant , an old lady , has died a year ago , and yet her cat , maxi , is still in the locked room , healthy and fat . soon , nikolai and his neighbours discover the mystery : there is a window to paris in the room . that ' s when the comedy begins - will the russians be able to cope with the temptation to profit from the discovery ?
this song is the first introduction to amélie’s adult life . once years pass , amélie has become bored with her quiet and dull life . she decides to leave home and take a train to paris . first , amélie gets an apartment . then , she gets a job in montmartre at the 2 windmills cafe ( “café des 2 moulins ) .
the movie is based on a book written by the trio and author jeffrey e . stern , called
the 15 : 17 to paris : the true story of a terrorist , a train , and three american heroes .

aside from central characters rory and lorelai , ew can now confirm 37 additional returns , from ex - boyfriends to old friends to a dog . here’s a rundown of everyone who’s going to be part of bringing gilmore girls back to life :
paris has been a mecca for russians since before the revolution , and here it represents western prosperity and freedom . architecturally , the two cities are similar , having been defined by 18th - and 19th - century classical styles , but st . petersburg , for all its own fabled beauty and grandeur , is shown to be run - down and ill - kempt in comparison to the city of light . an ancient chart discovered on the wall of nikolai ' s room reveals that the russians '
window of opportunity
will last only 20 days , with the wall closing up for another 20 years . in no time the gorokhovs are hawking russian souvenirs and even pianos in a paris square , but their noisy ways draw the ire of nicole ( agnes soral ) .

which opens today at lincoln plaza cinemas , stars sergei dontsov as nikolai , the clownish , sad - sack music teacher who accidentally stumbles across the gateway to french culture . assigned to a crowded , boisterous apartment where the residents store groceries inside their several pianos , he is given the room of a recently deceased old woman , who kept models of parisian landmarks as part of her decor . it ' s typical of the film ' s coarse comic style that this old woman appears not as a mysterious , ghostly figure but as one more cantankerous character on an already - crowded scene . not surprising , the escape hatch out of russia has great allure .
mr . mamin , whose film making is more spirited than accomplished , doesn ' t do much to further that cause . the film ' s russia - bashing culminates in a bleak interlude when the french taxidermist finds herself passing through the looking glass and getting nightmarishly stuck in st . petersburg . unlike tougher russian directors like pavel lungine (
taxi blues
) , mr . mamin doesn ' t take a bitter , scorching view of his country ' s troubles , preferring instead to poke gentle fun and look on the sunny side . by the time
window to paris
is over , songs and balloons and sweetness have supplanted any possible sting . window to paris directed by yuri mamin ; written by mr . mamin and arkadi tigai ( in french and russian , with english subtitles ) ; directors of photography , sergei nekrassov and anatoly lapchov ; edited by olga andrianova and joele van effenterre ; music by mr . mamin and aleksei zalivalov ; produced by guy seligmann ; released by sony pictures classics . at lincoln plaza cinemas , broadway at 63d street . running time : 87 minutes . this film is not rated . with : agnes soral ( nicole ) , sergei dontsov ( nikolai ) , viktor mikhailov ( gorokhov ) and nina oussatova ( vera )

for such a small town , there are a lot of important people required to bring stars hollow to life . and thankfully , just about everyone is returning for netflix’s upcoming four - part revival .
as a story device , the magical mirror is promising . but mamim doesn ' t do much with it - certainly nothing as biting and satirical as he might have . there is a subplot involving a french neighbor who doesn ' t like the noise of the visiting russian party animals , and another subplot involving a french woman who visits russia , and some sight gags based on everybody getting drunk . when nikolai ' s students go on strike , he bribes them with a trip to paris , and when they want to stay , he delivers a heartfelt speech about their duty to their country .
things are not running well in russia . the old days of top - down management have been replaced by indifferent anarchy , and although a class may be interrupted by a shipment of computers , there is not necessarily a reason for the computers , or anything to teach on them , or with them , and they may be headed for a fate similar to the pianos ( which are used to conceal contraband groceries ) . in paris , on the other hand , there is bounty everywhere , and the movie underlines the plight of the russian visitors , who focus so single - mindedly on the material .
one night the new boarder , a teacher whose name is nikolai , sees a ghostly visitor in the apartment . the others see her , too , and explain that she is an old woman , looking for her cat , which has gone missing ever since her death . where is the cat ? its disappearance holds a clue to the movie ' s comic premise , which is that by stepping through a mirror in the old woman ' s room , you can be magically transported from st . petersburg to paris .
a cast of the organism can then be made using the two types of mold . natural casts can be formed when minerals are deposited within the mold . casts can also be synthetically created when the molds are filled or covered with synthetic material such as latex or plaster of paris to generate a replica of the organism . thus in this manner , cast and mold fossilization enable us to
recreate
the structure of the organism . however in the creation of the cast , some details of the skeletal structures are lost .

an interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,
sorry to bother you .
nikolai , who has been sleeping in the school gym , at last lands a garret room in an apartment that is home to the gorokhovs , a combative , overweight family given to a great deal of eating and drinking and singing . they are exuberant vulgarians , exasperating but capable of an embracing kindliness and generosity . they are clearly meant to be archetypal russian survivors ; they may get on your nerves , yet they ' re hearty enough to take life in stride .

soon nikolai and his neighbors are making regular trips across time and space , managing to get so drunk in the process that it takes them a while to grasp the magnitude of their adventure . once the drunk jokes subside and the premise sinks in , mr . mamin himself has nowhere to go , and the film begins taking weightlessly farcical turns . eventually , it reaches a moment of sufficient toothlessness for nikolai to tell his music students :
you were born at the wrong time in a miserable , bankrupt country . but it ' s still your country . can ' t you make it a better place ?

cast and mold are a type of fossilization where the physical characteristics of organisms are impressed onto rocks , especially coarse porous rocks such as sandstones . typically , the hard parts of an organism ( e . g . shells of mollusks , skeletal structures of coelenterates , bones and teeth of vertebrate , chitinous exoskeleton of arthropods , trunks of trees , and many sphenophyte ) leave the best impression , because they are usually composed of calcium carbonate , calcium phosphate , silica , or chitin , which provide a rigid structure and do not decay as easily . the rigidity of the hard body parts allows the sediment to form around the organism , as opposed to soft body parts which decay too fast for impression to form as well as being too soft for the mold to set .

dontsov is a warm , likable man who is the film ' s rueful , wise linchpin . for all his vaulting artistic spirit , dontsov ' s nikolai has his feet on the ground ; he remains the realist while others get caught up in their self - absorbed flights of fancy . each successive , frequently hilarious adventure experienced by nikolai - - and the others - - allows mamin further opportunity to skewer some aspect of current russian society . having ticked off a long list of ills , mamin nevertheless is in fact making a plea for russians to stay home and deal with them .
while nikolai finds himself attracted to nicole , she and the gorokhovs get into escalating donnybrooks , which culminate with nicole finding herself wandering over a st . petersburg at night that ' s something like the south bronx - - and wearing nothing but mules , a towel turban and a short satin dressing gown .
contrasting such stereotypes of french and russian culture , mr . mamin makes his countrymen the butt of an extended , wistful joke . his film asks what would happen to russians who could suddenly escape their impoverished society and find themselves in the midst of french culture , which they regard with a mixture of suspicion , envy and disbelief .
the film is set to be eastwood ' s latest project based on a real event involving an act of courage . he also directed 2016 ' s
sully ,
about the passenger jet pilot who saved hundreds by pulling off an against - the - odds landing on the hudson river , and

which told the story of navy seal sniper chris kyle .
who protected them from the tartar mongols ?

we held them back for 200 years . meanwhile , they

evolved .
the fossilization process begins when the whole organism or hard body part is trapped in sediments . because most of these body parts are typically composed of substances which are soluble in carbonated water , this entrapment usually occurs in coarse and porous rock such as sandstones . the porous nature of the rock enables the carbonated ground water to permeate and dissolve the original tissue leaving a detailed mold of the organism .
housing space is at a premium in russia , and the young man is happy to be assigned a room in an apartment already filled with as many people as one of those crowded warrens in
crime and punishment .
what amazes him is how many pianos there are in the apartment .
we work at the factory ,
a resident helpfully explains . that means they have more pianos than they need - but not enough , of course , food , clothing or vodka .
i originally saw this movie as a blockbuster vhs rental . that was quite some time ago , but still remembered it . blockbuster doesn ' t have it anymore . netflix didn ' t have it and there weren ' t many copies on the web - - only a few spendy vhs copies . recently did finally find it available in dvd form on ebay for a reasonable price ( in pal format , but our dvd player will play pal discs on our ntsc tv ) . wife and i both enjoyed it . the style of the movie is a bit strong , and many if not most of the parts are rather strongly over - played as if amateurs were making it ( especially the kids ) , but it ' s not bothersome . the contrasts of societies are accentuated in the overplay . there is a bit of political preaching in terms of saying that the young in russia shouldn ' t try to escape their not - so - great life but instead should at least try to make things better first . but that ' s not dominant . it ' s fairly humorous most of the time . some downplaying of the west commented upon by others isn ' t that at all imo , i take it as a comment about expectations of the russian characters . at least when taken from my western viewpoint . perhaps it ' s a downplay of the west from a russian viewpoint ( which it is literally by the characters saying it ) . i can ' t say how literally true to the film the english subtitles are , but i can say that the subtitles were done very well , full of english idioms as if done by a native english speaker - - complete with
colorful
language .
as an example of the direction the movie might have taken , consider the moment when a visiting russian explains why france is so far ahead of his motherland :
we held off the mongol hordes for them , so they had the luxury of developing .
yes , perhaps , but what then ? and did they develop in such a wonderful way after all ? is russia such a grim place that there are no jokes to be made about the ways in which france might be flawed ? looking at the movie , i felt marooned in one of those lightweight multinational comedies of the 1970s , like
if it ' s tuesday , this must be belgium ,
in which most of the jokes were based on national characteristics i didn ' t much care about .

jon and daenerys , last seen entwined in sunday’s season finale of “game of thrones , ” are blissfully unaware of both their connection and the complications it will cause , once they realize that the obliging knee - bender jon ( or aegon , but i’m sticking with jon for now ) is the true heir to the iron throne . but for those of us with the facts , the simultaneous confirmation of both their sexual attraction and the true story of jon’s birth made theirs the most awkward in a spate of charged family reunions .

but while sunday’s very busy episode had plenty of enjoyable moments and blue fire - fueled spectacle , and effectively set up next season’s culminating clashes of the living , the dead and the old venal forces of cyclical destruction , it didn’t offer much in the way of surprise . indeed , the finale largely checked off boxes that have been broadly telegraphed throughout the season .
i imagine most of the disappointing aspects of season 7 amount to shrinking pains , products of having to condense all those subplots we’ve watched over six seasons down into one master one , while also preserving enough major characters to give ample emotional weight to next season’s final clashes .

there is a perceived notion that red wolves are a local or regional issue and that only the residents of north carolina are impacted by the results of this recovery effort . endangered species recovery , however , is a matter of pride and concern for all u . s . citizens . this is not an isolated issue for north carolina . by succumbing to political pressure , the usfws is allowing a small group of vocal landowners to dictate endangered species policy instead of adhering to proven scientific principles and practices .
as jaime rode north he saw the first snowflakes fall as winter finally , indubitably , arrived in king’s landing . this is what we’ve been moving toward for years , of course . i suspect much of the awkwardness of the abbreviated seventh season of “game of thrones” — which delivered arguably the most impressive visceral thrills and the least satisfying storytelling of the show’s run — came from having to get there in a hurry . “thrones” picked up the narrative pace considerably last year , but that was nothing compared to this season , which flew by faster than that eastwatch raven that drove viewers so crazy last week .
“teen wolf” is heading toward its last 10 episodes , so to bid adieu to the fan - favorite mtv series , variety has exclusively learned that the show will return to comic - con this summer for its final farewell tour . mtv has set a premiere date of july 30 at 8 p . m . for the back - half of its sixth - and - final season . the [ … ]
the cast and crew of teen wolf took the stage at the coveted hall h at comic - con to give details about the final season of the mtv series that shares the name — and nothing else , really — of the cult ’80s movie . tyler posey , dylan o’brien , dylan sprayberry , shelley hennig , cody christian , khylin rhambo , charlie carver , linden ashby , melissa ponzio along with executive producer jeff davis were all on hand to talk to fans about the final hurrah for the gang .
a small group of no more than 15 red wolves would be maintained in the north carolina management area . any wolves that wander outside of this zone would not be protected and could be legally hunted .
on the imus show , sid rosenberg — who was once fired by the same show for making crude remarks about singer kylie minogue ' s breast cancer diagnosis — will be taking over wolf ' s job .
“it hurts to think that 20 out of the 35 wolves we have left in the wild on planet earth are going to be fair game for anybody to shoot , ” said ron sutherland of wildlands network .
in “brief encounter” and “summer and smoke , ” directors subvert the expectations of their audiences with fascinating results .
the promoters of “the founding of an army” have rebutted reports that officials ordered cinemas to screen the movie , and its relative success at the box office was most likely helped by china’s annual summer ban on hollywood movies .

with untold millions of hbo’s dollars to spend on just six episodes and no reason to hold anything back , i fully expect “game of thrones” to end in satisfying fashion , at a scale befitting its outsize place in the culture . i may end up being wrong , but the show and its creators have earned the benefit of the doubt .

“ teen wolf ” is heading toward its last 10 episodes , so to bid adieu to the fan - favorite mtv series , variety has exclusively learned that the show will return to comic - con this summer for its final farewell tour .
directed by andrew lau , a hong kong filmmaker best known for “infernal affairs , ” “the founding of an army” opens with the nanchang uprising of 1927 , the first major battle between the nationalists and the communists during the chinese civil war .
o’brien chimed in , “it’s nothing but emotional now that its over . this is my first part ever and i entered this whole new phase in my life [ with this role ] . seven years later , it’s a family and will always be a family . it makes me super emotional — and makes me shaky just talking about it . ”
as recently as two weeks ago , i hung on to the belief that daenerys and jon , despite their clear , mutual attraction , would avoid the interbreeding inclinations of their lannister rivals and remain platonic allies . perhaps bran would get to jon first and spill the facts of his birth . ( “we need to tell him , ” bran told sam on sunday , which was far too late , of course . but why should timing be a strength of a man for whom time means nothing ? )
but when it came time to find actors to play some of the communist party’s most venerated military commanders , the filmmakers behind “the founding of an army” made an unusual — some say disrespectful — casting decision : they piled on the “little fresh meat . ”
a few days later , he brought a pair of clicking teeth onto the air with him to poke fun at the incident .
radio host don imus quietly fired the legendary sportscaster earlier this week — and the 78 - year - old wolf shocked his co - workers around 7 : 20 a . m . friday telling listeners it was his final broadcast on
imus in the morning .
davis surprised the audience and the cast with audition footage of the actors including a very young - looking posey , ashby , o’brien , sprayberry and others . in addition , holland roden and colton haynes sent their love via video apologizing for their absence before haynes presented a clip of him and charlie carver returning to high school with a cool swagger which later cuts to a scene of them being tortured and interrogated .
“game of thrones” has always been concerned with the benefits and burdens of family . but it hit that theme particularly forcefully on sunday , as this story that is broadly about the move from murderous tribalism to more globally oriented coalition leadership arranged the risk board for its final stretch .
sean mathias’s adaptation of the 1973 horror film and a david mamet classic fall flat , but “big fish the musical” gives our critic hope .
i did have other issues with season 7 , though . if the high - octane battles , dragon scenes and other magical happenings give “game of thrones” its dazzle , it’s the recognizable human impulses , frailties and behaviors in characters we’ve come to know well that give it its emotional power . for much of this season , however , it felt as if the story was driving the characters instead of the other way around .
the good news is , you’re not actually a bastard . sure , we’ve known this for a few weeks now , since gilly confirmed that jon’s parents , rhaegar targaryen and lyanna stark — we’ve known that for even longer — were married when she had him . but legitimacy will no doubt be some sort of relief to a man whose fine features have borne the strain of second - class status from the beginning of this story .
beyond reducing the red wolf recovery area by nearly 90 % and limiting the wild population to just 10 - 15 wolves , usfws , the very agency charged by federal law with protecting endangered species , will allow people to kill red wolves who stray beyond the newly - designated recovery area – and without any repercussions .
reviews of the movie , the third in a trilogy of government - backed films about chinese history , were better than expected , given the film’s propagandism . in a review for the hollywood reporter , clarence tsui described it as “a genre - fueled spectacle with scintillating action scenes and self - sacrificing heroes aplenty . ”
most captivating was cersei and tyrion , partly because lena headey and peter dinklage are great together and haven’t shared the screen since season 4 , but mostly because the scene was a terrific stew of manipulation and raw emotion . even as cersei was clearly using tyrion as part of her plot , her resentment was authentic . and because , as with jaime , the pregnancy served as a valuable prop with tyrion — convincing him that she truly is invested in the future , and thus on board with the truce — the mystery of whether it is or isn’t legitimate persists . and in a season full of uncharacteristically dense moves , tyrion again was played for a fool .
but was it also something more ? we keep hearing about how dany can’t have babies , to the point that she now seems pretty guaranteed to have a baby . it seems likely that we saw the beginning of that arc on sunday , especially since their interlude was intercut with scenes of the baby aegon targaryen coming into the world .
despite the outrage over casting , many critics have come to the defense of the xiao xian rou , arguing that their participation helped make young people interested in their history .

i don’t get as worked up about logistical implausibilities like the raven or how long it takes to fly a dragon north of the wall . ( the incest is my raven , i guess . ) time has always been fungible and intentionally vague on “game of thrones , ” presumably because it’s really hard to maintain roughly 47 subplots and have them intersect when and where they need to . i’m willing to give the show latitude in the details in order to let it tell its story , though i understand why these kinds of logic - stretching moments are distracting to some viewers .
• i wondered last week what zombie viserion would shoot out of its mouth . turns out the answer is blue fire , i guess . it did the trick , at any rate , blowing a gap in the wall wide enough for the dead army to stagger through . if their previous rate of travel is any indication , they should make it to civilization three winters from now .
“someone is trying to make a fortune off these important historical events , ” ye daying , a grandson of ye ting , a communist military commander , wrote on weibo , a microblogging site .

littlefinger was fun while he lasted , but his time had come . so , too , had it become time for arya and sansa to get past differences that at times this season felt forced in the name of drumming up conflict .
on june 28 , the u . s . fish and wildlife service ( usfws ) announced a proposal that will no doubt result in the extinction of red wolves in the wild . today , fewer than 30 wolves remain in the wild .
a common theory hangs all of this on that fact that “game of thrones” eclipsed george r . r . martin’s books , resulting in plotting that has become more conventional and less nuanced . there may be something to this , but it’s also worth remembering that the creators david benioff and d . b . weiss are the same people who took an enormous saga and masterfully streamlined and arranged it into a still - complex but captivating story that has become the most obsessively tracked pop culture franchise in the world .
“they may not know what it was like for our forebears to use their own flesh to carry the destiny of our country and our people , ” the commentator wrote , “but at least they are making an effort to draw closer to our elders . ”
why , for example , has the formerly shrewd and insightful tyrion become a dunderhead since he joined up with daenerys ? because the story needed her to face challenges and overcome them , generally with triumphant dragon attacks . perhaps tyrion’s strategic gaffes are part of his own humbling arc as he evolves from a cynic into a true believer , a phase he will overcome later as a powerful force in the war . but his constant underestimating this season of cersei , the person he knows better than perhaps anyone , rings false .
oho ou , top left , an actor and singer , plays ye ting , top right , a communist military leader ; ma tianyu , bottom left , a pop singer , portrays lin biao , an army marshal who later became minister of defense under mao zedong .
more hopefully , we had various stark components making up , including the de facto brothers jon and theon and the actual sisters sansa and arya , who finally , after weeks of antagonism , united to condemn and kill littlefinger . ( nothing brings families together like bloodshed . )

the dragonpit summit was a fitting conclusion to a season distinguished by far - flung characters coming together , offering a buffet of enjoyable reunions . i loved podrick’s enduring loyalty to tyrion , and the hound and brienne’s almost paternal pride over arya . brienne , as always , connected jaime to his better self .
had the confrontation not ended with arya slicing open his neck , littlefinger might have enjoyed the cunning poetry of it : a master manipulator outmaneuvered by a pupil he’d victimized , killed by the very dagger he’d used in past plots against her family . ( aidan gillen portrayed lord baelish’s final disintegration with pathetic aplomb . )

thanks for the memories ,
which mentioned nearly everyone on the show , except imus .
• what did you think ? are you cool with jonerys ? will jon ever learn how to lie every now and then , just a bit ? what did you think of season 7 as a whole ? please share your thoughts in the comments and , as always , many thanks for reading and weighing in over the past seven weeks .
we’ll come back to cersei , but first let’s return to the targaryen tryst . last week beric dondarrion suggested that the cost of resurrection is sacrifice , telling jon that “you and i won’t find much joy while we’re here . ” well , that at least looked like joy jon was experiencing in that ship’s cabin on sunday . ( they’re into boats , those two . )
• tormund is brave , but he’s not stupid . “run ! ” he shouted once he saw the full , dragon - assisted scale of the white walker force . for the record , i don’t think he died in that wall collapse . the show wouldn’t have brought him back from the brink in the wight fight just to kill him off in vague fashion a week later .
speaking of throats in jeopardy , up north littlefinger learned that while chaos may be a ladder , it’s trickier to climb than it looks and sometimes ends with you choking on your own blood . after taking one last meeting with her would - be svengali , sansa showed how much she’d learned by luring him into a fatal setup , outlining his many offenses against the starks as he groveled for mercy .
i guess things could go that way eventually , but that’s not where they sit now , which i admit feels kind of gross . i know such tendencies are well established in westeros and in the targaryen family , specifically ( and in real - life royal dynasties from centuries past ) . but as a story that began with crimes committed to conceal incest nears its conclusion , are we now really supposed to be rooting for incest ?
while cersei’s double - cross was expected , it did produce a surprise in jaime’s departure . ms . headey has talked about how cersei resents jaime for the easier life he led as a son of privilege , and that dynamic was apparent in their final fight . while you were off hunting and having fun i was learning from father about gold and ruling , she said spitefully . but when he left , her expression conveyed her alarm .
the narrative information has been rushed in some ways and frustratingly restricted in others . some weeks have brought so many revelations — cersei’s pregnant ! jon’s not a bastard ! here’s gendry ! — they overshadow one another . meanwhile three - eyed bran can see anything , anytime , apparently , but only does so when someone like sam goes , well , why don’t you give it a shot ? ( i get it : bran isn’t driven by revenge or other human desires to know things anymore , but he still seems to function as a tool of convenience . ) the show has also been more reliant on gimmickry like hackneyed fake - outs , like all the pretend near - deaths this season ( jaime , jorah , tormund ) .

the terror suspect told police he planted the deadly pipe bombs because he was following orders from “terrorist leaders… to attack non - believers where they live . ”
investigators believe rahami planted two bombs in chelsea , manhattan , but one failed to detonate .
“he’s been travelling backwards and forwards between afghanistan and is rumoured to have spent a year there .
he went on to question whether a man acting on his own would use sophisticated bombs , like those used by rahami .
mr videcette added : “to travel to afghanistan and learn to make bombs , which you can set off using mobile telephones - he’s learnt to do that somewhere .
“i think as time goes on and the investigation progresses i think he will have been on a radar and there will be other people involved . ”
rahami reportedly attended jihadi training camps in pakistan along with his brother on numerous occasions , allegedly becoming radicalised by islamist extremists .
the 28 - year - old’s brother mohammad and sister , aziza , have also posted pro - isis material on facebook supported the terror group and renouncing democracy .
their mother’s whereabouts are also unknown after she apparently travelled to turkey just three days before the bomb attacks , prompting claims she knew about the bombings before hand .

wilf scolding , left , and aisling franciosi as rhaegar targaryen and lyanna stark .
dany and jon became a thing — check . jon’s parentage was confirmed , along with his status as the heir to the throne — check . littlefinger was punished for his crimes as the starks reconciled — check . the night king used zombie viserion to breach the wall — check . cersei made her own plan rather than join forces with her enemies — check .
back in king’s landing , not even cersei seems to be into it anymore , having finally driven jaime away with her wily plotting with euron to bring in the golden company to help her capitalize on team targaryen’s white walker detour .
her feint and betrayal confirmed that jon and tyrion’s wight - demo plan was as ineffective as most viewers predicted . ( also , yes , dany , viserion died for no reason as far as you’re concerned . )
in fact , it gave cersei an advantage , at least for now , in the conflict to come . the meeting offered her a good look at her rival forces — where’s the other dragon ? she wondered — and allowed her to fool them into thinking they had her support .
jaime headed north , leaving an incest - size hole in the story for dany and jon to fill a few scenes later . but as i said a few weeks ago , at this point i won’t believe he’s truly turned on his sister until he has his hands around her throat .
• turns out castration confers a superpower that’s handy in a scrap . after taking still more shaming from his uncle euron in king’s landing — but learning that yara was still alive in the process — theon finally had something like a hero moment this season , taking his ironborn rival’s best kicks and still emerging on top . by the way , is anyone more swayable than ironborn soldiers ? one minute they’re up for pirating , the next for noble rescue missions . those guys are more weather vane - y than the northern bannermen .
• i’m guessing lesson 1 in dothraki boot camp is “how to shriek and gallop over a horizon . ”

known in chinese as xiao xian rou , “little fresh meat” refers to chinese teenage idols and boy band members , famous mostly for their manicured good looks and sculpted physiques .
since its debut , the film has taken in just over $ 51 million . that success probably has much to do with china’s annual summer ban on hollywood movies .
“who is this effeminate boy who can hardly stand up straight playing my grandfather ? ” mr . ye added , referring to oho ou , the 24 - year - old actor and singer who plays the army officer . “who are you trying to humiliate ? ”
mr . ye’s grandfather was a nationalist turned communist general who helped lead the northern expedition , the battles that unified china in the 1920s .
chinese producers have taken to regularly casting xiao xian rou ( pronounced shao - shin - ro ) as a strategy for attracting young moviegoers .
the movie was directed by andrew lau , a hong kong filmmaker best known for “infernal affairs . ”
since its premiere less than two weeks ago , the film has taken in just $ 51 . 8 million , according to data from urltoken , a website that tracks chinese box office revenues .
“even though the little fresh meats in the movie still have delicate skin , their military stances are tall and straight , ” a commentator named yu xiaodong wrote in the beijing morning post .
before the cast stepped out to the stage , the panel started with a video from tyler hoechlin apologizing for his absence before introducing a clip that showed derek’s return to beacon hills . with his glowing blue eyes , the brooding supernatural hunk wasted no time in beating down werewolf hunters before boosting a sweet mustang and driving off into the sunset .
marking the 8th and final visit to the international fanboy / fangirl event , it was a sentimental panel for the cast . davis talked about how it’s not often that a show with a loyal cult following goes to 100 episodes . he recalled the 100th and final episode , which airs september 24 , when they had a cake to celebrate only to turn to posey and have him cut the cake because he was the only actor that had appeared in all 100 episodes . after telling the story , davis admits , “it’s my goal to make tyler cry during this panel . ” posey turned to him and said , “you did , a * * hole . ”
the fbi has been under a microscope in recent months , with director james comey’s decision on hillary clinton’s email scandal late in the election cycle and especially this week’s hearing before the house intelligence committee . on monday , comey confirmed that the bureau is investigating trump campaign’s contacts with russia and also said the fbi has “no information” to support trump’s charge that president obama wiretapped him .
