Og så blev han hædret som »den ultimative kriger« af præsident Trump. Det spektakulære var, at det var hans underordnede, specialsoldaterne i Navy SEAL, der sladrede.

Mexico city: Mexico deploys National Guard in metro after accidents
Thousands of National Guard members will be deployed in the Mexico City metro following a series of safety incidents, including a crash this month that left one person dead, officials said Thursday. Safety concerns have shaken public confidence in a transport system used by millions of people in the congested megacity. From Thursday, around 6,000 members of the National Guard would be present in the metro, Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters. Lopez Obrador has been accused by his opponents of overseeing the "militarization" of Mexico by giving increased responsibility to the armed forces. Commenting on the National Guard deployment in the metro, Lopez Obrador said: "If they call that militarization or whatever they call it, we assume responsibility."

SAG Awards nominate ‘Banshees,’ ‘Everything’ and Zendaya – Metro US
The nominees for the guild’s top award, best ensemble, are: “Babylon,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans” and “Women Talking.”The SAG Awards are considered one of the most reliable Oscar bellwethers. Seldom does a movie or performance not nominated by the screen actors end up winning at the Academy Awards. Actors make up the biggest percentage of the film academy, so their choices have the largest sway. Missing out on a SAG ensemble nomination usually means a film’s best-picture hopes are over. Next year’s SAG Awards will be streamed directly on Netflix.

Podcast: Lever vi i milliarder af parallelle verdener?
Niels Bohr gik sejrrig ud af sin konfrontation med Albert Einstein om verdens indretning. Men bare fordi, han vandt i et slag i kampen om virkeligheden, betyder det ikke, at krigen er slut. For der findes en række alternative fortolkninger af kvantemekanikken, der forsøger at forklare, hvordan virkeligheden er indrettet. For har hver eneste af universets kvantepartikler sin helt egen guidende bølge, der styrer dem gennem verden som en radar på et skib? Eller findes der i virkelighede en uendelighed af parallelle virkeligheder, der hele tiden spalter sig ud i nye parallelle universer?

Iskold krise i Storbritannien, farvel til en kollega og årets film
Ikke et eneste varmeapparat er tændt i hele Blackpool. Sådan føles det i hvert fald, da journalist Mathias Sindberg og fotograf Anders Rye Skjoldjensen for nyligt besøgte den nordvestengelske ferieby. Blackpool er hårdt ramt af den ’cost of living crisis’, livsomkostningskrisen, der for tiden rammer Storbritannien særligt hårdt: 14,5 millioner briter lever i fattigdom, og børnefattigdommen er nu 31 procent: hvert tredje barn.

Folk til fredag
Landsholdskok I: Efter en historisk elendig dansk VM-indsats får alle nu travlt med at pege fingre for at finde ud af, hvorfor det gik så galt. Var det den dårlige stemnings skyld, eller var det de alt for våde baner i Qatar? Landsholdskok III: Pudsigt er det i hvert fald, at landsholdets faste kok, Per Thøstesen, sagde op i nærmest samme øjeblik, som Danmark røg ud af VM. Landsholdskok IV: Efter lang research kan Danmarks bedste sladderredaktion nu afsløre, at Per Thøstesen er blevet syndebuk. Vi føler os nemlig meget sikre på, at han faktisk er blevet presset til at forlade sit job, så DBU kan ryste al kritik af sige: Det var kokkens skyld, at vi ikke vandt VM.

Med Javier Bardem i front vender og vejer ’Den perfekte chef’ sjovt nutidens arbejderliv
Væggen er fyldt med tidligere priser, og en spot peger forventningsskabende på det udvalgte sted i samlingen, hvor den næste skal hænge. Problemet for fabrikschef Blanco (Javier Bardem) er bare, at det ikke kun afhænger af ham, om han får prisen eller ej. Hæderen tilfalder den bedst kørte fabrik i området, så han er afhængig af sine ansattes præstationer og positive bedømmelser, når den beslutningstagende komité snart kommer på besøg. Blanco er således en hovedperson med en klar mission og en deadline, og med Bardems forrygende præstation i front flyver minutterne i Fernando León de Aranoas to timer lange arbejdspladssatire sikkert forbi, mens Blanco forsøger at skabe ro og balance med stadig mere ekstreme midler.

Chinese spaceship with 3 aboard docks with space station – Metro US
Docking with the Tiangong station came at 5:42 a.m. Wednesday, about 6 1/2 hours after the Shenzhou-15 spaceship blasted off atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on Tuesday night. Without the attached spacecraft, the Chinese station weighs about 66 tons — a fraction of the International Space Station, which launched its first module in 1998 and weighs around 465 tons. With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, Tiangong could one day be the only space station still up and running if the International Space Station retires in the coming years as planned. The U.S. excluded China from the International Space Station because of its program’s military ties, although China has engaged in limited cooperation with other nations’ space agencies. While proceeding smoothly for the most part, China’s space program has also drawn controversy.
