Movie Review: ‘September 5’ goes inside a newsroom during the Munich Olympics hostage crisisSUN star Jane Moore’s daughters last night hailed her as their “inspiration” — and said the Jungle has given her a “new lease of life”. Ahead of the first eviction vote, Ellie and Grace urged viewers to keep her in the I’m A Celeb camp. Strategist Ellie, 32, said: “This whole experience is a real testament to a new lease of life for Mum, and staying in as long as possible is one way to ensure it’s the best experience it could possibly be.” Sun columnist and Loose Women panellist Jane, 62, said before she jetted out for the show that she had signed up after realising “our time on this planet is short”. She said close friends had died “too young” and that her mother needed round-the-clock care because of dementia. She added she was determined to “make the most of the active years I have left”. Student Grace, 20, said: “She’s always been the kind of person to choose others before herself. "So we were so excited for her to do something completely for herself for a change. “We’ve always been inspired by our mum. She’s really stepped out of her comfort zone and it’s so great to see her enjoying herself.” Ellie — who with Grace is in charge of Jane’s Instagram account while she is in the Jungle — was initially worried about possible online abuse. But Grace said: “It’s such an opportunity, I thought Mum would be mad not to go.” YOU can save Sun columnist Jane Moore from being the first celeb to be kicked out of camp by voting. Show hosts Ant and Dec are expected to share specific timings on tonight’s show.

VANCOUVER - Global Affairs Canada is warning Canadians in South Korea to avoid demonstrations and exercise caution after the country’s president imposed an hours-long period of martial law. The situation in South Korea arose after President Yoon Suk Yeol imposed martial law on Tuesday, vowing to eliminate what he described as “anti-state” forces from the opposition that controls parliament. Yoon’s declaration triggered tense political drama, as troops surrounded the parliament while 190 lawmakers gathered inside to vote to lift the martial law shortly after it was imposed. Global Affairs Canada has not raised the risk level for Canadians in South Korea but did ask those in the country to monitor local media for the latest information, while following authorities’ instructions, such as curfew orders. A Vancouver-based travel agent says the chaos in Seoul is not likely to have a major effect on Canadian visitor numbers to South Korea. Glynnis Chan, owner of Happy Times Travel, says the martial law dissolved quickly and will likely have minimal impact on people’s travel plans, which tend to be made at least two months in advance. “There’s always some sort of impact, but it really depends on what happens with the situation over the long term,” Chan says. “If nothing more happens, people forget after a week or so about what took place.” Chan says she is not expecting any impact on her business, since Japan is a more popular destination among her customers. Several Korean-Canadian travel agencies in Metro Vancouver declined to comment on the political situation in Seoul. After Yoon’s declaration of martial law, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the national assembly, waving banners and calling for Yoon’s impeachment, while others scuffled with military troops. The South Korean parliamentary members eventually voted to lift the declaration, with national assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring it “invalid.” Police and military personnel were then seen leaving the assembly’s grounds after Woo’s call for their withdrawal. Jae-Yeon Lim, vice-president of the Canada Korea Business Association, says seeing military personnel clash with protesters and lawmakers brought back “harrowing” memories of the 1980 student-led demonstrations in Gwangju that were violently suppressed. Yoon’s move was the first declaration of martial law since the country’s democratization in 1987, and South Korea’s last previous martial law was in October 1979. “It has been a very difficult experience to see that,” Lim says of the latest martial law declaration. “But that said, I’m really happy to see that ... the national assembly managed to get the majority vote to repeal this, and they managed to do that at the risk of their own lives, even though military was there. “This is a country that will stand up for democracy.” Lim also says there would likely be little impact on bilateral relations or trade between the two countries stemming from the sudden onset of political drama, given how quickly martial law was lifted. “It’s not going to stop business from seeking to expand in Canada,” Lim says. “There’s still a very strong interest to do so from many businesses (in South Korea). “We have yet to see what will happen next, but I think that I’m a little bit reassured in seeing what has transpired ... that people are ready to defend their country and democratic rule-of-law.” — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 3, 2024.SMU has plenty to play for when it closes the regular season against California on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. The Mustangs (10-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who checked in at No. 9 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday, would like to send their seniors off the right way. They would also like to complete a perfect regular season before appearing in the ACC title game in their first year in the conference. Most importantly, they want to continue to strengthen their playoff case. "You've got the College Football Playoff, so every game matters. That's what's so cool about it now. The regular season is important," SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. "We'd like to finish well in everything we do, particularly on Saturday, to finish off the regular season, continue our momentum into the following week. Hopefully, continue to show the committee and others that we're worthy of continuing to play this year." The Mustangs are a worthy playoff team to date. Kevin Jennings has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country, throwing for 2,521 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has rushed for 315 yards and four TDs. Brashard Smith has been another standout, rushing for 1,089 yards and 13 TDs. Defensively, the Mustangs rank tied for 14th in the country with 20 takeaways. "Obviously they've had a phenomenal season," Cal coach Justin Wilcox said of SMU. "As soon as you turn the tape on, it doesn't take very long to see why their record is what it is. They're very, very good really in every phase of the game - extremely explosive and quick and fast. They've got a dominant D-line. We've got a lot of challenges in front of us and our guys are excited for that." Cal (6-5, 2-5) is coming off an emotional win, defeating rival Stanford 24-21 on Saturday to secure a bowl berth. The Golden Bears will appear in consecutive bowls for the first time since 2018-19 and are now looking to clinch their first winning season since 2019. SMU is not overlooking Cal, as all five of the Golden Bears' losses have come by one score. "You'd be hard-pressed to find a better 6-5 team in America," Lashlee said. "I think you can conservatively say they very, very easily could be 9-2." Cal is led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has thrown for 3,004 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Tight end Jack Endries leads the team with 555 yards receiving, while wide receiver Nyziah Hunter has caught a team-leading five touchdowns. Defensively, Cal has the ACC's top scoring defense (20.7 points per game) and is tied with Clemson for the ACC's best turnover margin (plus-13). Defensive back Nohl Williams is the star of the group -- he leads the country with seven interceptions. Even though oddsmakers are heavily favoring SMU, Cal is going into the game with a simple mindset. "Our task at hand is to make the best bowl game right now," Mendoza said. "And the way to do that is to go into Dallas, give it our best and ruin SMU's season." Saturday will mark the first conference meeting between these ACC newcomers, and just the second meeting between the programs all time. SMU won a 13-6 game back in 1957. --Field Level MediaIs Enron back?

Shetland viewers eagerly anticipated the last episode of the series on Wednesday night, but the finale left them underwhelmed. DI Ruth Calder, portrayed by Ashley Jensen, and her colleague Tosh, played by Alison O'Donnell, returned to close out their enigmatic murder case. But as the credits rolled and the perpetrator behind bars, there was a palpable sense of disappointment among the audience. A segment of viewers took to social media to announce they'd no longer follow the series, with some expressing confusion over the storyline and others lamenting the noticeable absence of Jimmy Perez, the character previously brought to life by Douglas Henshall. One disgruntled fan voiced their grievances on X: "This really has been the worst season of #Shetland so far. The writing is poor, the acting worse and it feels like the narrative has been strung out far longer than the story requires. Time to call it a day." Echoing that sentiment, another commented: "Not exactly the most gripping series. And I don't care about any of the characters. Bring back Jimmy and Duncan! #Shetland," reports the Express . As a third chimed in: "I HATE it when the final episode and eventual resolution have absolutely nothing to do with the 8 previous episodes. This had better not be it.." Confusion also reigned for one viewer who confessed: "Bit lost now #Shetland," whereas another shared: "Tosh isn't the same character without Jimmy Perez." Meanwhile, declaring their disenchantment, another individual pointed out: "Wasn't sure about the first series of the new Shetland. I think this will be my last, it's all over the place.#Shetland." Yet, amongst the chorus of disapproval, some found value in the episode, with a lone voice applauding: "Brilliant episode." "Wasn't sure how I'd like Shetland without Perez but Tosh and Ruth are a good partnership," someone agreed. Ashley, the series lead actress, recently graced the Lorraine set, confirming Shetland's continuation. During her chat with host Lorraine Kelly about the possibility of more episodes, she affirmatively responded: "There is, yes." Lorraine then remarked on the precarious nature of TV productions, stating: "Because you can never take it for granted, can you?" To which Ashley agreed, "No," and further revealed: "They actually commissioned two series on the back of last year straight away, which was a great confidence boost." The conversation also touched upon the potential finale of the series, with Lorraine probing: "There has got to be more, Ashley, surely? It would be crazy not to be." Ashley left viewers intrigued as she hinted with a shrug: "Fingers crossed, yeah." Shetland is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.Democrats strike deal to get more Biden judges confirmed before Congress adjourns

A new pilot program in the River East area is helping seniors leave the house and get groceries. Kildonan-River East MLA Rachelle Schott, Transportation Options Network for Seniors (TONS), Good Neighbours, and the Senior Resource Finder in the area all joined forces to start this program that picks up seniors from their buildings and brings them to a nearby grocery store once a month. October was the first month they did it, and Wednesday was their November trip. Serena Bittner, the executive director of TONS, said the turnout has been fantastic so far and it is really helping seniors' quality of life. "We know that food security and transportation go hand-in-hand, and it's super important to have transportation that is accessible, affordable, and close to the destination," said Bittner. She said the seniors get the groceries they need, and then volunteers help load and unload the groceries once they get back to their residence. While the transportation aspect is the main focus of this pilot program, Bittner noted it also provides the participants with social interactions. "Some of these people haven't been out in six-plus years. Many of them have never used Winnipeg Transit, and it's a great learning adventure, as well as an opportunity to chat with some of the people in their buildings and neighbouring buildings. So they're really getting to meet with their neighbours and make new social connections." Julia Lim, the Seniors Resource Finder for the area, helps connect adults 55-plus to these kinds of programs. She said there is a large senior population in River East and this program is crucial for their wellbeing. Shirley Godfrey is one of the participants of the new pilot program, calling it a blessing. "We can't always get to the store we want to, because you either have to take a cab or (handi-bus), and then you're constrained by time or expense," said Godfrey. She said other options are sometimes not possible or extremely inconvenient, so to have this available is "wonderful." Bittner, Lim, and Godfrey all hope this is a program that can continue for the foreseeable future. "There are other communities that are looking to start this up as well, but funding is important to keep this going," said Bittner. "Whether that's small funding or big funding, or just community partnerships, it takes a village."
