LGBTQ+ inclusion in film at a three-year low, Glaad survey suggests

The advocacy group’s Where We Are In Film study finds a decrease in queer people of color and zero trans characters in 2025 films

LGBTQ+ characters are slowly disappearing from film in a trend that disproportionately affects LGBTQ+ characters of color, according to a report published today.

An annual study of films by Glaad (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) has found that just 46 of 225 films released in 2025 contained LGBTQ+ characters, making only 20.4% of last year’s movies inclusive of the queer community.

‘New terrifying levels’: 10 people fatally shot by immigration officials in Trump’s second term

As Trump’s immigration crackdown continues, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death marks another high-profile killing by ICE officers

Early on Tuesday morning, 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo took his coffee and a meal his wife had prepared for him, said goodbye to his dog, and left the house he built. He drove his white van, picked up three co-workers, and headed towards a construction site to work on some houses.

But Salgado never made it to work. During a “targeted enforcement operation”, officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed Salgado and arrested the three other men.

Experimental bathtub: the remote lake island trying wave power to boost energy security

Researchers on Beaver Island, in Lake Michigan, are trying to find a more reliable form of power using local resources

Beaver Island sits in the middle of the northernmost end of Lake Michigan, about 70 miles from the maritime border with Canada. The forested island, just a little bigger than San Francisco in size, is a popular summer destination for tourists and home to about 600 permanent residents. Getting there requires a boat or plane ride.

Getting electricity to the island is not as easy. Power comes from mainland Michigan through cables that cross roughly 30 miles of lake bed. Outages are common during extreme weather, or when there are problems with the sensitive wires. The devastating ice storm that walloped the state last year knocked out power to the island for weeks.

MPs urge Labour to ditch £330m Palantir software contract with NHS

Cross-party group backs call from science and technology committee to look at alternative options, citing ‘serious mistrust’

A second parliamentary committee has urged Labour to scrap Palantir’s £330m contract with the NHS, increasing pressure on the next prime minister over government deals with the US tech company.

MPs on the health and social care select committee want the NHS to cut ties with Palantir and find a replacement for its system, which is supposed to unify and analyse huge amounts of often highly sensitive NHS health data.

Decisão sobre tarifaço ao Brasil sairá 'muito em breve', diz representante de comércio dos EUA

Representante Comercial dos EUA, Jamieson Greer, fala à imprensa no dia em que participa de um almoço de trabalho com ministros do comércio da UE, em Bruxelas, Bélgica, 24 de novembro de 2025. Piroschka van de Wouw/Reuters O representante do Departamento de Comércio dos Estados Unidos, Jamieson Greer, afirmou nesta quinta-feira (9) que a decisão sobre um novo tarifaço às importações brasileiras será anunciada "muito em breve", mas disse que os dois países ainda estão distantes de um acordo. "Tenho conversado com os brasileiros. Temos tentado negociar. Acho que ainda há uma distância considerável entre nós. Por isso, vocês verão uma decisão final sobre o Brasil muito em breve, porque temos um prazo legal até 15 de julho", disse Greer em entrevista à Fox Business Network. Em 1º de junho, Trump propôs tarifas de 25% sobre mercadorias brasileiras, após uma investigação sobre diferentes temas, como desmatamento ilegal, pirataria e PIX. No dia seguinte, ele anunciou taxas adicionais de 12,5% para 60 países por falhas no combate ao trabalho forçado, incluindo o Brasil. Em ambos os casos, uma longa lista de exceções foi apresentada para evitar uma alta de preços no mercado americano. Itamaraty mapeia mais de 40 empresas e associações americanas que não querem o tarifaço Itamaraty mapeia mais de 40 empresas americanas contra tarifaço O impacto para o Brasil e para os EUA Na segunda-feira (6), o USTR abriu a fase de audiências públicas da investigação. A participação é aberta aos interessados que se inscreverem. Participaram das audiências representantes de associações brasileiras e americanas de vários setores, como café, arroz, açúcar, etanol de milho, ferro-gusa, rochas ornamentais, madeira, papel, calçados, mel e propriedade intelectual. Para o presidente da Câmara Americana de Comércio para o Brasil (Amcham), Abrão Neto, "a aplicação de novas tarifas seria prejudicial para ambas as economias, com impactos negativos para o setor produtivo e os consumidores dos Estados Unidos, além de perda de competitividade das exportações brasileiras para um mercado crucial”. Neto mencionou, ainda, que a participação dos Estados Unidos no comércio total do Brasil caiu para 11,2% nos cinco primeiros meses de 2026, o menor nível já registrado. As importações brasileiras provenientes dos Estados Unidos também recuaram 11% no mesmo período. "Essas tendências sugerem que tarifas adicionais podem reduzir ainda mais a presença comercial e a influência econômica dos EUA em um dos maiores mercados emergentes do mundo, abrindo espaço para que concorrentes estrangeiros ampliem sua participação de mercado às custas das empresas americanas", complementou. Como mostrou o blog da Ana Flor, representantes de empresas que participaram das audiências avaliam que a adoção de novas tarifas é praticamente inevitável. A expectativa, porém, é que o alcance da medida possa ser calibrado de acordo com seus impactos sobre a economia americana. Um dos principais argumentos apresentados é que encarecer a importação de produtos brasileiros pode aumentar a dependência das cadeias produtivas dos Estados Unidos de insumos e componentes vindos da China, um efeito que contraria a estratégia comercial do governo Donald Trump.

From Greek epics to biblical blockbusters: the 20 best mythological movies – ranked!

Ahead of the release of Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, we rate the top films based on myths, legends and fables

Featuring the young Henry Cavill as a Theseus who barely gets near a labyrinth, this Hellenic “reimagination” bags precious little deep mythological significance. But visuals ace Tarsem Singh at least gives it a strikingly theatrical and oppressive look. Unforgettable images include the Titans locked into their magical prison like ranks of table-football players, the sotto in su vision of the warring gods at the end and the campest Mount Olympus in cinema – like a gleaming Siegfried and Roy Vegas set.
