Meryl Streep slams Harvey Weinstein for using her statement in his defense

By
On the same day that now-disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein used her in defense of himself in a sexual misconduct lawsuit, Meryl Streep has released a fiery statement condemning him for dragging her name into the muck.

According to E! News, in a previous effort to show that not all the people who worked with Weinstein were aware of his propensity to allegedly sexually harass or assault the women he worked with, Streep said that he didn't exhibit any bad behavior with her. On Wednesday, his lawyers cited Streep and a handful of other A-listers as evidence that some women continued to work with him in a professional manner.

“Harvey Weinstein’s attorneys’ use of my (true) statement ─ that he was not sexually transgressive or physically abusive in our business relationship ─ as evidence that he was not abusive with many OTHER women is pathetic and exploitive. "The criminal actions he is accused of conducting on the bodies of these women are his responsibility, and if there is any justice left in the system he will pay for them,” the star told Fox News in an emailed statement.

“Regardless of how many good movies, made by many good people, Harvey was lucky enough to have acquired or financed,” she concluded.

The move by Weinstein’s lawyers was a response to a proposed class action lawsuit by six women against him and his former business, The Weinstein Co. Those women include Louisette Geiss, Katherine Kendall, Zoe Brock, Sarah Ann Masse, Melissa Sagemiller and Nannette Klatt, according to Deadline.

From shark attack survivor to para-snowboarder: the Sean Pollard story

By
Paralympians enter their chosen sport for all sorts of reasons – whether they have experienced a life-long disability or had a life-changing illness or event – but few have a back-story as dramatic as Australian para-snowboarder Sean Pollard. Pollard’s life was changed in just a couple of minutes when he was attacked by two Great White sharks while surfing in Esperance in October 2014, losing his left arm and his right hand in his struggle to escape. In the aftermath of the attack he needed seven blood transfusions amounting to three litres of blood. “I was pretty lucky to get to hospital within an hour of the attack” he recalls. It took over 150 stitches to close the wounds that had threatened his life, and he spent weeks in hospital. Source :- theguardian

Greek coalition forced into cabinet reshuffle after benefits scandal

By
The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has been forced into an emergency cabinet reshuffle following the resignation of two ministers over housing benefit claims that have embarrassed Athens’ leftist-led coalition. The new lineup was announced on Wednesday as a new round of compliance talks between the debt-stricken country and bailout creditors began. The government spokesman said deputy prime minister Yannis Dragasakis would assume the key portfolio of economy and development minister, while Dimitris Vitsas would replace Yiannis Mouzalas as migration minister. Both are sensitive posts in a county that has battled bankruptcy and the European refugee crisis. In a surprise move, the Syriza party leader also brought the former leader of the Democratic Left party, Fotis Kouvelis, into government, giving him Vitsas’s post as deputy defence minister. The reshuffle was triggered by the resignation on Monday of economy minister Dimitris Papadimitriou and his wife, the alternate...
