Strikes to mark one year since Greece's worst train crash
TEMPI, Greece, Feb 28, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Workers across Greece were set to strike on Wednesday to demand answers a year after the nation's deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people and injured dozens more. A memorial service for those lost was held on Sunday, and relatives plan to gather at the crash site on Wednesday. The disaster happened when a freight train and a passenger train with over 350 people aboard -- mostly students -- collided near a tunnel outside the central city of Larissa. He later apologised for the accident and said he would improve Greece's railway safety. If they had not "serially broken" safety regulations, the crash wouldn't have occurred, he alleged.

Lesbian Road Trip Movie
“The greatest films of all time were never made… the greatest loves of all time are over now.”Taylor Swift’s discourse on romance tracks surprisingly well onto the recent history of the great Gen X directing duos: The last couple of years have brought about the divorces of the Safdie brothers, Wachowski sisters and — most tragically — the Coen brothers. Creative partnerships tend to be tenuous, and most historic examples (Martin and Lewis, Nichols and May, Powell and Pressburger, to name a few) end with one or both attempting to stake their own claim — or perhaps needing to after the death of one half. Still, this recent crop of breakups, and particularly the first individual projects from Joel and Ethan Coen, represent at once a great tragedy and fascinating subject for interrogation. A duo best marked for their juxtaposition of brilliant wit with bleak subject matter have split up and demonstrated that they each brought something incredibly different to their collaboration. Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth brought the filmmaker’s trademark visual excellence but stripped the exercise of any humor, and the new film from Ethan Coen, Drive-Away Dolls (or D**es, as the final title card and filmmakers call it), cares about little more than getting a laugh out of its audience.

Gas leak sparks fires, seven burnt in Shahjahanpur
Seven people burnt in two separate fires that started during efforts to repair a gas leak in a home in the capital’s Shahjahanpur on Tuesday. Mintu and Akbar were admitted to the institute with 40 per cent and 22 per cent of their bodies burnt, he said. The smell of gas often permeated the flat's bathroom and kitchen, according to Delowar’s brother Jalal. Later, a sanitary worker was called in for repairs, which resulted in another fire. Sujit Kumar Saha, the chief of Shahjahanpur Police Station, said that the fires were caused by gas accumulation, triggering a minor explosion during the repair efforts.

G20 finance ministers meet on world economy hit by crises, conflicts
SAO PAULO, Feb 28, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - G20 finance ministers will meet Wednesday in Brazil, seeking ways to shore up a global economy whose nascent recovery is threatened by a raft of conflicts and crises, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Yellen, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva and other top economic policy-makers will gather in Sao Paulo for the two-day meeting -- though there will be some notable absences, including the British, Chinese, Indian and Russian finance ministers, organizers told AFP. Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad, the host, will address the meeting by video conference, after coming down with Covid-19, organizers said. "There are a lot of issues on the table, and we face challenges on all of them," said the Brazilian official coordinating the G20 finance meetings, Tatiana Rosito. Founded in 1999, the G20 accounts for more than 80 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP), three-quarters of world trade, and two-thirds of the world's population.
