Hollywood actress Lauren Bacall has died at the age of 89. Fans have been laying flowers on her star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The sultry actress known for her heavy-lidded eyes and husky voice was a major star of film’s golden age. Bacall got her break at the age of 19 in “To Have And Have Not” with Humphrey Bogart. She captured Bogart’s heart both on and off the movie screen. They were married from 1945 until his death from cancer in 1957 and had two children. Bacall’s nearly seven decade-long career included films like “Key Largo”, “The Big Sleep” and “How to Marry a Millionaire.” She was voted one of the 25 most significant female movie stars ever by the American Film Institute in 1999. She is also known for standing up for women’s rights. In 2009, she won an honorary Oscar and continued working right up till her death, most recently voicing the character or Evelyn on an episode of TV animated comedy “Family Guy.” Less

From the time she was six months old, golden retriever Ellie would wait at the gate to the family pool every morning to chase the pool cleaner around. By January 2015, Ellie was no longer content with playing at the edge of the pool and wanted to join in the kids’ diving games. This video shows her diving towards the bottom of the pool, trying to fetch her toy. She can’t quite manage it the first time, but has more success when she tries again.

These two-year-old golden retrievers are brother and sister, and they get very playful when they’re together. Their owner has recorded them going for walks, playing in the snow, and doing all manner of things that you can expect from many other dogs. This trick is much more uncommon. The video shows one of the golden retrievers by itself, only for its sibling to emerge from its hiding place. Don’t believe anyone who tells you magic is impossible!

Anti-fascist activists were out in force as the mass trial began on Monday of leaders and members of Greece’s far-right Golden Dawn party – branded a neo-Nazi organisation by critics. Disturbances were reported as party supporters also gathered outside the top security jail near Athens where 69 defendants faced charges including belonging to a criminal group and murder. That charge follows the 2013 killing of an anti-racism rapper whose mother was among relatives present in the prison courthouse. “No matter what people’s political views or links to government, we want them punished if they have committed a crime,” said Greek Muslim community leader Naim Elgkantour. “Just like if I commit a crime, I should be punished.” But defence lawyer Evangelos Galetzas raised questions about the trial’s legitimacy, with separate cases lumped together including the murder charge over the death of rapper Pavlos Fyssas, who was stabbed in the street in 2013. In the event, the hearing was swiftly adjourned until May 7. Golden Dawn leader Nikos Mihaloliakos and the party’s senior officials were absent from the hearing and represented by their lawyers. The defendants include all 18 MPs elected with Golden Dawn in the previous Greek parliament. The politicians deny the charges. Golden Dawn, whose black-and-red emblem resembles a swastika, rejects the neo-Nazi label. It has strongly denied involvement in Fyssas’s killing. It says the defendants are victims of a political witch-hunt. Despite accusations of brutality and violence, the party’s appeal has remained largely intact. It remains popular and is the joint third largest party in the Greek parliament after January’s election. Our correspondent in Athens, Tsellos Konstantinos, said: “For the first time in recent Greek history, the entire leadership of a parliamentary party is on trial. Golden Dawn still gets significant support from voters and the outcome of the hearing may cause turmoil on the political landscape.” Less

Turkey’s election campaign is going down the toilet, after opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu accused the president of using tax payers’ money to decorate his presidential palace bathroom, most notably with a golden lavatory. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has responded by saying he will launch a lawsuit. In an interview conducted in a palace room decorated with various golden furnishings, the president issued a challenge to the opposition leader. “I invite him to please come and take a tour … I wonder if he will be able to find such a golden toilet seat in any of these washrooms? If he finds it, I will resign from the presidency. If he can’t find them will he resign from his party?” Costing more than 500m euros, Erdogan’s 1,150 room palace has been the source of much criticism from the opposition who say it was built on protected land.

An unknown first-time director has won one of world cinema’s most prestigious prizes, Venice’s Golden Lion. Lorenzo Vigas, for his film “From Afar”, (Desde Allà). The film is also Venezuela’s first-ever entry in the competition. “It’s first time in history that we have a film in Venice… We are an amazing nation and we are going to start talking to each other more, and we’ll get through, I’m sure about it. Thank you very much to all, y arriba Venezuela!” he said, referring to Venezuela’s currently fractious politics. “From Afar” details the unlikely relationship struck up between a middle-aged gay man and a young street tough guy, but some critics felt it was too close in style and feel to Chile’s Pablo Larran. In general it was a night of surprises with some big names missing out and the film many had picked for top honours, Charlie Kaufmann and Duke Johnson’s astounding stop-motion animated “Anomalisa”, winning the consolation Grand Jury Prize. Best actor went to France’s Fabrice Lucini for his turn in “L’Hermine” which also won best screenplay for its director Christian Vincent. And it was a second best actress award for Italy’s Valeria Golino, who beat off competition from Tilda Swinton and Juliette Binoche, and who signed her delight to the audience after picking up her statuette.

Lav Diaz’s ‘The Woman Who Left’ (‘Ang Babaeng Humayo’) has won the Golden Lion award for Best Film at the 73rd Venice Film Festival. It tells the story of a woman who has to readjust to life in her socially destroyed homeland after unfairly spending 30 years in jail. The Filipino filmmaker adds to an impressive international awards collection, which includes Best Picture at the Singapore International Film Festival, among others. US fashion designer Tom Ford was runner-up, winning a Silver Lion, for his film, ‘Nocturnal Animals’. The award for best director was tied between Mexico’s Amat Escalante for The Untamed and Russia’s Andrei Konchalovsky for his holocaust drama, ‘Rai’ (‘Paradise’). A tale of love and loss, the German-Russian co-production centres on the relationship between a concentration camp inmate and SS officer. The Best Actress prize went to Emma Stone for her performance in the musical ‘La La Land’, while Argentine actor Oscar Martinez was named Best Actor for his role in the comedy-drama ‘El Ciudadano illustre’ (The Distinguished Citizen’).
