‘Tangled’ Live-Action Movie Set for March 2028 Release

Published by Daniella Wilson

At its D23 fan event on Friday, Disney offered up a first look at its upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled. The clip began with a shot of Teagan Croft, who is playing Rapunzel, from behind, with her long blonde hair cascading over cobblestone streets. The footage then cut to Kathryn Hahn as the duplicitous Mother Gothel, before Hahn took the stage to thank fans for manifesting her casting. The star joked her character “may be a little overprotective, but that’s because she cares so much” and added, she’s “the best kind of villain, the kind who thinks she’s actually a hero.” Croft and co-star Milo Manheim also sent a virtual message, appearing in costume as they said hi to fans from their set in Spain. The studio also announced a release date of March 31, 2028. At the beginning of the year, the studio cast rising Australian actress Croft as Rapunzel, the curious and plucky would-be princess with magical hair, and Zombies star Manheim as Flynn Rider, the cocky outlaw thief who helps her escape …

Seventy years after South Africa’s women’s march, the struggle is not over | Women’s Rights

Seventy years after South Africa’s women’s march, the struggle is not over | Women’s Rights

Published by Sam Flores

Johannesburg, South Africa – Seventy years ago, Sophie Williams-de Bruyn was 18 when she joined about 20,000 women marching to the Union Buildings, the seat of South Africa’s apartheid government, to protest against the extension of the pass laws to Black women. On August 9, 1956, the women gathered in Pretoria carrying a petition against laws that restricted the movement of Black South Africans. Williams-de Bruyn was among the leaders of the march, which became one of the defining moments of the country’s liberation struggle. On Sunday, at 88, she returned to the same grounds. The country around her had changed. Apartheid had ended, South Africa had become a democracy and women had moved into some of the country’s highest offices. Its constitution guarantees equality and protection from discrimination. But for many women, the freedoms won through that political transformation have not translated into security, economic opportunity or reliable public services. “How can we fully celebrate our past victories when our present reality is so deeply disappointing and distressful?” Williams-de Bruyn asked. Her question set …

India’s cockroach movement supporters gather to march despite police ban

ACTIVIST SETS TERMS TO END HIS FAST The CJP initially drew support largely online, amassing 22 million followers on Instagram within days before broadening its appeal and drawing the support of some opposition parties. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and his supporters began a sit-in last month seeking the resignation of Pradhan. They were joined by Wangchuk on Jun 28 who launched an indefinite hunger strike at the site. In a handwritten note from hospital posted on his X account on Monday, Wangchuk said he would end his fast if the government takes accountability for recent failures in the education system and for paper leaks, or if CJP protesters are allowed to reach parliament and lawmakers assure them that the issues would be taken up in the chambers. He said he would also end the fast if lawmakers and leaders of various parties meet him in hospital and give him the same assurances since his health does not allow him to march on parliament. The rise of the CJP reflects frustrations among young Indians over issues …

From Algerian fervour to Oranje march, World Cup transforms Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Missouri, July 11 : As Kansas City prepared to bring the curtain down on its World Cup on Saturday, local organisers were already reflecting on a month that put the Midwestern city on the global stage. Kansas City has been host to six games including a round-of-16 match and Saturday’s quarter-final between Argentina and Switzerland at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the National Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs. But the tournament’s legacy will be measured as much by the supporters who adopted the city as their temporary home. The city welcomed large followings from several nations, including Algeria, whose fans spilled across neighbouring Lawrence, Kansas, where the North African team made their base camp. A sea of Netherlands orange marched through downtown streets before turning parts of the city centre into a Dutch carnival. Supporters from Argentina, Switzerland, Colombia and others packed fan zones, bars and public squares over the past month, transforming the self-styled “Soccer Capital of America” into a meeting place for the world and giving residents a rare chance to …

White nationalists march on DC, test free speech limits

Members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through Washington, D.C. over the July 4 holiday weekend, moving in formation through parts of the city and along transit routes as the capital hosted large-scale celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. Videos and photographs showed masked marchers wearing matching uniforms, carrying flags including variations of the U.S. flag and Confederate symbols and chanting slogans such as “Reclaim America” as they moved near Union Station, Metro stations and streets around the National Mall. Some commuters and bystanders documented encountering the group on public transit and in busy pedestrian areas, with social media posts describing confusion and unease during what was otherwise a heavily trafficked holiday weekend. The Metropolitan Police Department monitored the demonstration and reported no arrests, according to published reports, treating the march as a First Amendment-protected assembly so long as it remained peaceful and did not violate public safety laws. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League have identified Patriot Front as a white nationalist organization that promotes extremist ideology …

Thousands march to demand illegal migrants leave South Africa

DURBAN, South Africa: Thousands of people marched Tuesday (Jun 30) in cities across South Africa to demand the departure of undocumented foreign nationals after a weeks-long campaign that has sent thousands fleeing and claimed four lives.  Police were out in force for the nationwide protests which capped a campaign of demonstrations led by citizen-led vigilante groups that set an unofficial June 30 deadline for foreigners without papers to leave. There were isolated reports of looting, stone-throwing and confrontation, including near Johannesburg where security forces escorted a handful of foreign nationals away from a mob brandishing large sticks. Crowds of demonstrators moved through the centre of the city, South Africa’s financial capital, where most shops were shuttered, workers stayed home, and transport hubs were quiet. They waved flags and placards, watched by police in bulletproof jackets and riot helmets. In the southeastern city of Durban, the Zulu heartland, protesters turned out in traditional warrior attire, carrying spears, whips and shields and some draped in leopard skins. Demonstrator Brightness Gumbi, 48, said she was frustrated at not …
