Suspected travellers have been banned from occupying a piece of green belt land after using diggers to allegedly prepare it for an unauthorised site. The suspected ringleaders behind the scheme in Sawbridgeworth did not appear in court on Tuesday when East Hertfordshire district council was granted an extension to a legal injunction preventing further excavations. Workmen with heavy machinery were seen digging up the land, erecting fences and felling at least one tree after arriving unexpectedly during the August bank holiday weekend. With concerns growing about wildlife, house prices and planning laws, Facebook groups issued a call to action and locals gathered to defend the land in a peaceful protest. Suspected travellers bulldozed the green belt land in an alleged bank holiday land grab – Ben Montgomery for The Telegraph The local authority stepped in when the area, which lies about a mile from the home of Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Lady Penny Lancaster, was transformed into a building site. It served a temporary stop notice shortly after 10.45am on Aug 29 before …
Behind Tom Templar’s shoulder as we talk over video call is a poster for The Wicker Man, the 1973 cult folk-horror film set on a remote Scottish island, whose sunniness conceals – inevitably – a dark secret. It’s fitting, because Templar is the singer of Green Lung, the breakout British metal band who immerse themselves in British mythology. The forthcoming Necropolitan, their fourth album devoted to the folklore of the isles, takes its inspiration from the “Magnificent Seven” London cemeteries built in the 1830s and 40s, and from the Necropolis railway, which transported the dead out of the city. No generic demons here: this is metal in the spirit of Fairport Convention as much as Black Sabbath. “My big thesis is that heavy metal has become a form of folk music in the past couple of decades,” says Templar. “They’re both riff-based, circling around similar tropes, and about reinventing what has gone before. Metal even feels like a folk movement, in the way it’s full of festivals no one else has heard of. There’s such …
TORONTO (AP) — When Rosalind Eleazar first got a breakdown of Chris Rock’s “Misty Green,” it had a stress-inducing description of the character, a strong-headed, self-destructive actor in Los Angeles. “It said, ‘She’s a really talented actress,’” Eleazar says. “You suddenly feel this extra meta pressure: ‘Right, so I have to do the job. I also have to make sure I’m talented.’” The good news: Eleazar is, and anyone who sees “Misty Green” will be immediately convinced of that fact. The 38-year-old British actor has been a standout on “Slow Horses” and on London stages. But in “Misty Green,” Eleazar’s first lead role in a film, she’s poised for a much bigger breakthrough. In the film, which A24 will release Oct. 9, she plays the titular Misty, a well-known actor whose once meteoric rise in Hollywood is now in the distant past. Told to leave the apartment where she’s been crashing, a countdown runs through the film of Misty’s days to find somewhere to live. At the same time, she’s trying to land a part …
Chris Rock revealed on Sunday that filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson provided feedback on his latest directorial project, Misty Green. The comedian mentioned during the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday that Anderson watched the movie, which Rock wrote and directed, before telling The Hollywood Reporter that he watched Misty Green as a friend and critic. “Both,” Rock said when asked if Anderson watched as “a bud” or to give notes. “But it’s always for notes. It’s like, what do I have you — what’s the use of having a friend like you who can’t help me?” Rock would say not what Anderson changed or where in the film audiences may see his changes but did share that the Oscar-winning director provided “a tweak here or there.” Distributed by A24, Misty Green follows an award-winning actress (Rosalind Eleazar) whose career has faded. Determined to make peace with her past, Misty attempts a career comeback after reconnecting with her former talent agent (Topher Grace). In addition to Eleazar and Grace, the comedy-drama also …

Get the Well Enough newsletter with Harry Bullmore for tips on living a healthier, happier and longer life Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Get the Well Enough email with Harry Bullmore Incorporating laughter therapy into treatment plans could help ease respiratory difficulties in patients suffering from a widespread lung condition, new research indicates. Scientists behind the study suggest that the “simple, low-cost” intervention performs on par with conventional breathing drills and may work to “complement existing care” for individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the UK alone, an estimated 1.7 million people suffer from COPD, including roughly 600,000 who remain undiagnosed. The clinical trial evaluated 63 patients diagnosed with COPD who were receiving care at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital in Turkey. Researchers assigned a third of the group to laughter therapy sessions, while the remaining participants were guided through pursed-lip breathing routines or received no specialised exercises. Rather than relying on an inhaler, people could turn to laughter therapy (PA) After being shown how to perform the techniques, patients …
