Actors gathered in New York for a strike rally, expressing their outrage towards Disney's CEO, Mr. Eiger. The rally focused on demands for fair pay, revenue sharing, healthcare, retirement funding, and a just casting process. The actors also voiced concerns about the increasing use of AI and robots, which they fear may replace human jobs in the entertainment industry.


Elegantly from the people before me, but yes, fair pay, revenue sharing, health care, retirement funding, a fair casting process. AI! So proud to know, please welcome, Ryan Cranston! We are all gathered here today in unity, in front of an entity that is run by Disney. And now we've got a message for Mr. Eiger. I know, sir, that you look through things through a different lens. We don't expect you to understand who we are, but we ask you to hear us, and beyond that, to listen to us. When we tell you, we will not be having our jobs taken away and giving to robots.

We will not have you take away our right to work and earn a decent living. And lastly, and most importantly, we will not allow you to take away our dignity. The union united will never be divided. The union united will never be divided.


The strike rally in New York showcased the determination of actors to protect their rights and dignity in the face of potential challenges from automation and corporate decisions. As the entertainment industry grapples with technological advancements, it remains to be seen how Disney will respond to the demands put forward by the actors' union.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War.

The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
