Top 10 world news: Afghan women plead for help under Taliban rule, US bomb threat, and more

<p>After Afghan&nbsp;filmmaker Sahraa Karimi's video went viral on social media, another director Hassan Fazili has and expressed concerns not just over the safety of his fellow Afghans back home, but also the overall state of art and culture under the impending Taliban regime.</p>

<p>"Even if we just pray or hope that the common Afghanis won’t have to face any execution or arrest, there’s simply no denying that the culture, cultural aesthetics or movement will stop. Filmmaking or performing art seems to be on the verge of destruction now,"&nbsp;Fazili told Indian newspaper The Times of India.</p>

<p>"Why am I fearing this? The reason is quite simple. We are well aware of the Taliban policies. They just want to destroy these cultural activities. It has been a taboo for them. For instance, the Taliban fails to accept that women too, can go outside and take part in social activities on their own."<br />
<br />
Fazili, whose films 'Mr Fazili’s Wife' and 'Life Again!' have won awards in the international film-festival circuit, fled Afghanistan after the Taliban had allegedly put out a hit on him several years ago. The trigger for Taliban's wrath was his documentary, 'Peace In Afghanistan'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Ironically, it’s the government officials who brought in some ridiculous restrictions that forced me to shut down a cafe for performing artists that I had started. So, you can understand, while things right now get worse, Afghanistan didn’t have the luxury of cultural freedom in the recent past," said&nbsp;Fazili, who currently lives in Germany.</p>

<p>"It’s only one example of how the artists in the country were getting bulldozed, while these two giant forces were fighting for power. Confronting both the Taliban and the Afghan government at the same time became a nightmare for us,” the filmmaker said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
What he fears most is the living conditions of Afghans when the world will no longer be watching.</p>

<p>“The moment we stop talking about Afghanistan, it will be more important to see what the Taliban actually do,” he said.</p>

<p>“Believe me they won’t do it initially in Kabul, rather it will start in places like Kandahar and the rural areas, and slowly — as they have done before — will move towards Kabul. So, the world needs to keep a tab on the Taliban for the greater good.”</p>

<p>Fazili also expressed his concerns over the members of small yet significant film community of Afghanistan and what would become of those who are now in hiding.&nbsp;</p>

‘Pretty Little Liars’ reboot: New BTS picture emerges from set, and it is wow!

<p>Almost after six months after Ryan Fischer was shot while taking care of Lady Gaga's entertainer's pets, he has launched a GoFundMe campaign with the aim of raising enough money to purchase a van so he can continue traveling the country in search of healing methods 'that support the process of growing from trauma'.</p>

<p><br />
Now an entertainment portal has reported that Gaga has covered Fischer's medical bills related to the shooting, which was a sum of $100,000 (approx).</p>

<p><br />
"All that time spent reclaiming my body, I now needed to be equally devoted to strengthening my emotional and mental health. With no vehicle, apartment, and having run out of savings and surviving on donations from generous loved ones, I am humbly asking for your help. This is not an easy thing to ask, but I have started to realize sharing your vulnerability with others is exactly when radical change begins to occur for everyone involved," he wrote on his funding page, which has reportedly generated roughly $3,600 of a $40,000 goal so far.</p>

<p><br />
According to Fischer, he has left his Hollywood Hills home to drive across the United States in a 1991 Ford Falcon as he dealt with 'long bouts of depression and doubt and self-pity' and visited friends, family, and new places that added towards his growth journey.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The car, however, is no longer in working condition after two months of use, and his money-raising attempts are dedicated to securing a new vehicle so that he can continue with the rest of his journey.</p>

<p><br />
For the unversed, in February, Fischer was shot in the chest while he walked three of Gaga's French bulldogs on North Sierra Bonita Avenue in Los Angeles.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
A pair of assailants jumped out of a vehicle and assaulted Fischer before making off with two of Gaga's pets, Koji and Gustav, while another, Asia, was able to escape.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Five suspects were later arrested in connection with the incident after a woman returned the dogs safely.</p>

<p><br />
According to the report by a news agency, those arrested were unaware of the fact that the dogs belonged to Gaga, and that they targeted the animals only for their high value.</p>

<p><br />
After the attack, Gaga offered a $500,000 reward for the safe return of her dogs, and released a statement praising Fischer's heroism. "I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You're forever a hero."</p>

<p><br />
Subsequently, Fischer's recovery has been both physical and emotional, according to an Instagram post.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
He revealed that in addition to having a portion of his lung removed, he's often confronted by people who force him to recall the trauma, saying things like, "You're Ryan! You got shot. You were shot! Where were you shot? Where'd they shoot you?"</p>

<p><br />
"It's a strange thing to be known for a trauma that I'm still healing from. People want to reach out, share in my pain for a moment, and then walk away, leaving me to relive it again," Fischer recalled.&nbsp;</p>

Almost after six months after Ryan Fischer was shot while taking care of Lady Gaga's entertainer's pets, he has launched a GoFundMe campaign with the aim of raising enough money to purchase a van so he can continue traveling the country in search of healing methods 'that support the process of growing from trauma'.

Almost after six months after Ryan Fischer was shot while taking care of Lady Gaga's entertainer's pets, he has launched a GoFundMe campaign with the aim of raising enough money to purchase a van so he can continue traveling the country in search of healing methods 'that support the process of growing from trauma'. Now an entertainment portal has reported that Gaga has covered Fischer's medical bills related to the shooting, which was a sum of $100,000 (approx). "All that time spent reclaiming my body, I now needed to be equally devoted to strengthening my emotional and mental health. With no vehicle, apartment, and having run out of savings and surviving on donations from generous loved ones, I am humbly asking for your help. This is not an easy thing to ask, but I have started to realize sharing your vulnerability with others is exactly when radical change begins to occur for everyone involved," he wrote on his funding page, which has reportedly generated roughly $3,600 of a $40,000 goal so far. According to Fischer, he has left his Hollywood Hills home to drive across the United States in a 1991 Ford Falcon as he dealt with 'long bouts of depression and doubt and self-pity' and visited friends, family, and new places that added towards his growth journey. The car, however, is no longer in working condition after two months of use, and his money-raising attempts are dedicated to securing a new vehicle so that he can continue with the rest of his journey. For the unversed, in February, Fischer was shot in the chest while he walked three of Gaga's French bulldogs on North Sierra Bonita Avenue in Los Angeles. A pair of assailants jumped out of a vehicle and assaulted Fischer before making off with two of Gaga's pets, Koji and Gustav, while another, Asia, was able to escape. Five suspects were later arrested in connection with the incident after a woman returned the dogs safely. According to the report by a news agency, those arrested were unaware of the fact that the dogs belonged to Gaga, and that they targeted the animals only for their high value. After the attack, Gaga offered a $500,000 reward for the safe return of her dogs, and released a statement praising Fischer's heroism. "I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You're forever a hero." Subsequently, Fischer's recovery has been both physical and emotional, according to an Instagram post. He revealed that in addition to having a portion of his lung removed, he's often confronted by people who force him to recall the trauma, saying things like, "You're Ryan! You got shot. You were shot! Where were you shot? Where'd they shoot you?" "It's a strange thing to be known for a trauma that I'm still healing from. People want to reach out, share in my pain for a moment, and then walk away, leaving me to relive it again," Fischer recalled.

<p>American rapper Eminem is all set to star in fellow rapper, 50 Cent's, upcoming series 'BMF'.</p>

<p><br />
"Oh yeah i'm bringing the big dogs out, I couldn't do a show based in Detroit without incorporating the legend @eminem. Got him to play white Boy Rick in BMF, this s--- is out of here," 50 Cent wrote on Instagram.</p>

<p><br />
The series is reportedly set in Eminem's hometown, Detroit, and tells the true story of two Detroit brothers, Demetrious 'Big Meech' Flenory (Demetrious "Lil Meech" Flenory Jr.) and Terry 'Southwest T' Flenory (Da'Vinchi), who went from small-time dealers to becoming the founders of one of the country's most powerful crime families.</p>

<p><br />
Eminem will guest-star as Richard Wershe Jr., also known as White Boy Rick.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In the 80s, Wershe, who was a teenager at the time, became the youngest informant in FBI's history. He was later arrested at 17 years of age and sentenced to life in prison, &nbsp;and was later released last year after serving more than 30 years.</p>

<p><br />
This story was shown in the 2018 movie 'White Boy Rick', which featured Richie Merritt as Wershe and Matthew McConaughey as his father.</p>

<p><br />
Interestingly, Eminem's not played someone other than himself on screen for a long time.</p>

<p><br />
After his 2002 hit '8 Mile', Eminem's reportedly passed on many lead roles, and has settled for cameos instead in 'Entourage', 'Funny People', and 'The Interview'.</p>

<p>Imagine a new tide of modernity—coupled with humane undertones—taking over the ever-consuming Internet, the end product you are most likely to get is the textbook definition of The New York Times-meets-Amazon’s dangerously successful ‘Modern Love’ franchise.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
After an uproarious entry into the digital space with its predecessor—Anne Hathaway has made us all cry, Dev Patel turned some into hopeless romantics—the second season of this part-book-part-column adaption had heightened the excitement (and expectations) for the digital populace so much so that it was the second most-anticipated phenomenon to have come out this year. First being <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kit-harington-sings-drops-of-jupiter-live-and-fans-are-loving-every-bit-of-it-405326">Kit Harington’s</a> clean-cut hairdo and Irish accent in it, of course.</p>

Frankly, the route to ‘Modern Love 2’ is way more adventurous this time around. But, thankfully, certain intricacies stay intact. Say, for example, a strong commentary around the alarming topic of mental health and the need to normalize it. In episode six, ‘In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses’, a war veteran sees life as a battlefield and his spouse, a mission. Sure enough, both his family life and mental health take a major hit as he starts to conjure up ‘bad things’ in his mind. The track is aptly not so much about the love lane—although, heart wrenching—as it is about recognizing the problem in hand and addressing it. Garrett Hedlund internalizes the trauma-filled pride of a soldier, grappling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in this John Crowley directorial. Similarly, another lesser known yet widely experienced disorder that no one seems to be talking about, Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome, takes the centre stage in Zoe Chao’s episode two, ‘The Night Girl Finds A Day Boy’, love attack by Jesse Peretz. “In love with a vampire,” is a recurring comment that comes up frequently when a charmer-types falls in love with a man who is on nature’s clock, and she isn’t. To pass a judgment on these grave issues would be criminal, hence, the hard pass.&nbsp;</p>

If the title is ‘Modern Love’, can the different interpretations of it—in the times of Canva and Corona—stay far behind? Absolutely not! Two consecutive episodes, EP three and&nbsp;four, swing between the two extreme ends of love spectrum. One latches on to the ‘Before Sunset-y’ vibe, while the other is more along the lines on ‘Sex Education’: available on Amazon’s streaming rival, Netflix. Titled ‘Strangers On A (Dublin) Train’, two Irish poeple stumble upon one another on their way home for what is presumably a short, ‘stupid’ break. “The madness will be over soon (referring to the initial stages of lockdown,” says a suave Kit Harington, here seen as ad wiz Michael. The tomfoolery that we see in the face of adversity and unpredictability is almost cute. This third episode is the clichéd version of say-hello-to-medieval-romance and we have seen better, but, we will make do for two reasons: Kit Harington (there’s a ‘Game of Thrones’ joke in it, if you are looking) Irish-ness and the fact that we had all once tricked ourselves into believing that it will all be over soon. ‘A Life Plan For Two, Followed By One’ is, however, a different ballgame. There’s sex, jealousy, crass comedy and tongue waggling. The ‘Judas &amp; The Black Messiah’ star, Dominique Fisher, is a comedian feeding off rapper jokes. Fun, feisty, she just wants to be loved by her knight in shining armor. Her first love fails, like most first loves do. This Marta Cunningham production is quasi-modern. The comedy troupe works, love and friendship? Not so much!</p>

Episodes five and seven are deep dives into sexuality and identification of the ‘one’ who’s somewhere buried in layers of Instagram DMs and Tinder swipes.

You know these secret lovers wouldn’t reunite or break into a long embrace after all that history, but you still want to wait it out, just in case. This one hits out of the park, at least for some. “Am I?... Maybe This Will Tell Me’ is about an outwardly confident-‘maybe’ bisexual kid whose go-to solution for real problems is the Holy Google. Tap, click, repeat. Celine Held &amp; Logan George’s story starts out well; full of promise, and then reduces into a short film that couldn’t cram in all its crucial plot points.

Trust ‘Modern love’ to treat you with a real sob fest, and it happens in the second installment, too—and this declaration comes from experience and sheer experience alone—with the modern-day Shakespearean-esque tragedies. The opening episode, ‘On a Serpentine Road, With the Top Down’, and the closing one pierce through your heart, as they were meant to. A disheveled Minnie Driver secretly pines for her dead first husband—she talks to him in his rundown car, and sniffs his sweater when no one’s watching—before, finally, bringing herself to sell his overbearing Stag. The agony of having loved and lost, and loved again, shines through Driver’s saggy skin and sad-looking eyes. This, and the finale episode, is inarguably the finest in ‘Modern Love 2’. Staying true to its essence, after all, ‘Modern Love’ is built on the foundation of faulty humans and troubled decisions, is ‘Second Embrace, With Hearts and Eyes Open’—the last one for this year. Sophie Okonedo’s amicably parted with her husband, while he is acing the ‘Best Daddy’ game, she seems to be ‘getting worse’. Despite the grin-able camaraderie, and a lot of hook-ups-between-exes, the climax leaves one with a sense of hopelessness—pretty much what we have been feeling all-year long, aren’t we?&nbsp;</p>

The pulse of ‘Modern Love 2’ is a metaphor for amusement-park rides—this moment you are bawling over sappy love songs and romantic anecdotes, and the next is overridden by cringe. But, after a long-hard day, you need someone to sprinkle some hope &amp; confidence all over you. And if ‘Modern Love 2’ does that, so be it.

The pulse of ‘Modern Love 2’ is a metaphor for amusement-park rides—this moment you are bawling over sappy love songs and romantic anecdotes, and the next is overridden by cringe. But, after a long-hard day, you need someone to sprinkle some hope & confidence all over you. And if ‘Modern Love 2’ does that, so be it. After all, as uptight Spence comes to relealise in episode six, “Life never goes as per plan.”

<p>As India nears its 75th year of Independence, we—at WION—take a trip down memory lane and revisit the top five classic Bollywood songs of galore and patriotism that instill a sense of &nbsp;pride and patriotism in the hearts of every Indian: homegrown as well as settled abroad.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Hop on!</p>

<p><br />
<strong>‘Sandese Aate Hain’ from ‘Border’</strong></p>

<p><br />
This song is one of the most famous patriotic songs from the 90s that still gives goosebumps because of the emotion it captures—love and longing of a soldier for his loved ones in the line of duty.</p>

<p><img alt="vdsgfjhgdscZ" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="910506ee-948d-46f3-aa33-f4f2a54e9729" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-11T210533.758.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>‘I Love My India’ from ‘Pardes’</strong></p>

<p><br />
In this song, the characters&nbsp;it is&nbsp;picturised on tell&nbsp;one and all what makes their&nbsp;country so great, and why they&nbsp;love&nbsp;their&nbsp;motherland the most from among&nbsp;all the places they could have chosen to live in. Need we say more?</p>

<p><img alt="sbngcvzcZ" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc0276ba-5460-4f27-90d9-d8e441e3bab8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-11T210607.797.jpg" /><br />
<strong>‘Rang De Basanti’ from ‘Rang De Basanti’</strong></p>

<p><br />
Back in the day, this song (and the movie!) had changed the way Indian youth perceived their nation and evoked a new sense of patriotism in those who were seeking inspiration, and even in those who were not. &nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="vfjghhfdfds" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="09191800-e20e-4ab4-9600-ac8359acb067" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-11T210703.235.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>‘Mera Rang De Basanti Chola’ from ‘The Legend Of Bhagat Singh’</strong></p>

<p><br />
There are very few songs that are as lyrically rich, patriotism-fuelled as this song in the history of Indian cinema. Despite being a revamped version of a cult classic—Manoj Kumar’s Shaheed (1965)—it still manages to tug at your heartstrings.</p>

<p><img alt="dgjgfhdsda" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6685a3c7-d447-4137-9234-06f98ec61c6d" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-11T211003.346.jpg" /><br />
<strong>‘Ye Jo Des Hai Tera’ from ‘Swades’</strong></p>

<p><br />
Many NRIs (non-residential Indians) have felt a strong sense of belonging to their homeland after this film—especially this song—made a huge splash in Indian cinema. The song, those emotions… everything culminated into the masterpiece that it is even today.</p>

<p><img alt="bfjnhgdsc" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7af43121-daee-48b9-8164-9897b2d99ce1" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-11T211049.047.jpg" /></p>
