TOKYO — 

Japan’s government said Wednesday that the death toll from a weekend typhoon that caused widespread flooding has climbed to 63, with another 11 presumed dead.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that another eight people were missing in typhoon-hit areas in central and northern Japan. At least 200 people were injured, 30 of them seriously.

Suga said the government would spend $6.5 million from special reserves in the budget to cover food and other necessities primarily for evacuees. The full extent of damage from the typhoon is still unknown, and the government is open to further spending if necessary, Suga said.

Typhoon Hagibis hit Japan on Saturday with historic rainfall that caused rivers to overflow and left thousands of homes flooded, damaged or without power. More than 200 rivers overflowed, and more than 50 of those now have damaged embankments.

Rescue work in hard-hit areas in Nagano and Fukushima is gradually shifting to cleanup as receding floodwaters revealed more damage.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation said it was dispatching experts to investigate damaged embankments at seven large rivers including those in Nagano and Fukushima where massive flooding occurred. A panel of construction and river experts is expected to examine the cause and discuss reconstruction methods in coming weeks.

As of early Wednesday, 12,000 homes lacked electricity and more than 116,000 households lacked fresh water, Suga said. Water supply trucks were sent to storm-hit areas and residents were advised to not bathe or do laundry to reduce the burden on sewage capacity. Television footage showed schoolchildren eating rice balls, delivered individually wrapped in plastic wrap instead of in a bowl, to conserve water.

Life in Tokyo was largely back to normal, except for some neighborhoods along the flooded Tama River. A power outage at one high-rise apartment building, due to the flooding of its backup generation system in the basement, raising questions over safety and risk management at riverside buildings.

WASHINGTON — 

President Trump met Tuesday with the parents of a British teenager who was killed in a car crash involving an American diplomat’s wife.

The White House declined to say what message the president had delivered, but a spokesman for the family suggested they may have been disappointed by it.

“Meeting with President Trump complete,” tweeted the spokesman, Radd Seiger. “We will review where we are up to and determine next steps shortly when we will comment further. In the meantime the search for #Justice4Harry continues.”

Harry Dunn, 19, was killed in August when his motorcycle collided with a car allegedly driven by Anne Sacoolas, the U.S. diplomat’s wife, outside a British air force base in southern England used by the U.S. military.

Sacoolas left Britain shortly after, though police released a statement saying she had previously told them she had no plans to depart. Her current whereabouts are uncertain.

Dunn’s parents have been pressing for Sacoolas to return to Britain and held a news conference in New York on Monday to press their case. Charlotte Charles, Dunn’s mother, tearfully urged her to “do the right thing” and to “face us as a broken family,” along with the U.K. legal system.

“She needs to set an example to her own children that you can’t run away,” Charles said.

Trump last week called the collision “a terrible accident” and said he planned to intervene by potentially arranging a meeting between the Dunns and Sacoolas.

Still, he seemed sympathetic to Sacoolas, saying that accidentally driving on the wrong side of the road in England, where drivers drive on the left instead of the right side of the street, is something that “can happen,” and that he had once done so himself.

A statement previously released on Sacoolas’ behalf said she intended to continue to cooperate with authorities.

“Anne is devastated by this tragic accident. No loss compares to the death of a child and Anne extends her deepest sympathy to Harry Dunn’s family,” it read.

AKCAKALE, Turkey  — 

Russia said it was working to prevent a conflict between advancing Turkish and Syrian government forces on Wednesday, as Turkey’s president defied growing pressure and sanctions from Western allies for a cease-fire in northern Syria.

Russia has moved quickly to further entrench its leadership role in the region after President Trump ordered the pullout of American forces in northeastern Syria. The American move effectively abandoned the Kurdish fighters who were allied with the U.S. and cleared the way for Turkey’s invasion aimed at crushing them.

America’s abrupt reversal pushed the Kurds to strike a deal with the Russia-backed government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, inviting its forces to return to regions of northern Syria it had abandoned at the height of the eight-year-old civil war.

On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia is committed to ensuring security in the region as it works to mediate between the Syrian government and Turkey.

Russia already announced that it had deployed troops to the flashpoint town of Manbij to keep apart advancing Syrian government and Turkish-led forces.

Moscow will also continue to encourage Syria’s Kurds and government to seek rapprochement following the U.S. withdrawal, Lavrov said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies.

Lavrov also blamed the United States and Western nations for undermining the Syrian state, saying this pushed “the Kurds toward separatism and confrontation with Arab tribes.”

During a visit to Iraq last week, Lavrov met with the leaders of the Kurdish autonomous region and said that Moscow is sympathetic to their need for autonomy.

Now in its eighth day, Turkey’s offensive against Kurdish fighters has increasingly strained relations with its NATO allies.

Late on Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed he would not accept a cease-fire in northern Syria, despite growing pressure from the U.S. and Europe.

Speaking to a group of journalists late Tuesday on his return from a trip to Azerbaijan, Erdogan said Turkey would only consider a cease-fire once it had cleared the border region of Kurdish fighters that it considers a threat for links to an insurgency within its own territory.

“It is not possible for us to declare a cease-fire until it is cleared,” the pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper quoted Erdogan as saying.

Erdogan’s comments came as Washington, which has announced limited sanctions on Turkey, said Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and national security advisor Robert O’Brien are traveling to Ankara on Wednesday to try and negotiate a stop to the fighting in Syria’s northeast.

Trump had announced on Monday new sanctions to try to pressure Turkey to accept a cease-fire.

But Erdogan told journalists that he had rejected U.S. offers to mediate. Referring to Syrian Kurdish fighters, he said: “We would never sit around [the negotiating] table with a terror organization.”

He also said Turkey was “not concerned” by the sanctions.

On Tuesday, the Kremlin said Erdogan accepted an invitation to visit Russia in the “nearest days,” without providing further details.

France has suggested it will also work more closely with Russia in Syria.

French Foreign Minister Jean Yves Le Drian said in an interview Wednesday on French television channel BFM that France is notably now looking to Russia, given their “common interests” in defeating the Islamic State group in Syria.

He called on European and other members of the coalition fighting Islamic State in Syria to regroup as the U.S. appeared to abdicate its leadership role in the region.

TOP STORIES

Elizabeth Warren in the Spotlight

A record 12 Democratic candidates took to the debate stage in Westerville, Ohio, last night, and there was one thing they mostly agreed on: denouncing President Trump. Beyond that, they struck a more fractious tone on a range of issues, including healthcare, gun policy and money in politics.

But while Trump has hammered away at Joe Biden (and son), the Democratic candidates on stage took aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who now leads Biden in many polls, testing her strengths and vulnerabilities as a candidate. Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders looked none the worse for wear in his first debate since a heart attack this month, and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg tried to position himself as the moderate alternative to the more left-leaning Warren and Sanders, if Biden stumbles.

Here are seven takeaways from the night.

More Politics

— Amid growing political pressure from Republicans, House leaders began seriously gauging support among Democrats for holding a vote to formally establish the impeachment investigation of Trump. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided Tuesday there would be no House vote for now.

— Trump has vetoed legislation that attempted to overturn his use of emergency powers to divert military base construction funding to pay for his long-promised border fence. Congress is unlikely to have the votes to override the veto. In all, 127 military construction projects totaling $3.6 billion would lose funding.

— New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a leading voice of the Democratic Party’s liberal wing, plans to endorse Sanders for president, according to his campaign.

Exit, U.S.; Enter, Russia

In northern Syria, there is a race to control the city of Manbij, which is part of the territory overseen by Kurdish fighters backed by the United States until Trump decided to pull that support. Turkish troops and Syrian rebel proxies appeared on the verge of rushing in, while the Kurds have turned to Syria’s government. Filling the void left by the U.S. is Russia, which is taking over as a power broker in the Mideast. And as this news analysis shows, an emboldened Russia is far from the only geopolitical fallout; even Israel is worried about whether Trump would turn his back.

How Californians Think About Immigration

Here’s something most California Democrats and Republicans agree on: Immigrants make the U.S. a better place to live. More than 80% of registered voters here say as much, per a UC Berkeley poll conducted for the Los Angeles Times, including 92% of Democrats and 60% of Republicans — reflecting the state’s long rift with the Trump administration on immigration. But voters are more split on how immigrants are treated. On that question, 56% say they’re treated unfairly, while 28% disagree.

The Future, and the Foes, of #MeToo

A British-Greek billionaire heir to a Coca-Cola bottling fortune has fashioned himself the ambassador for men who consider themselves wronged by #MeToo. As Alki David fights the seventh sexual harassment case against him in as many years, he’s working with a lobbyist to draft legislation to keep such cases from becoming public. With his penchant for litigation, he’s an improbable emissary for the cause, even as he says he relishes his “villainous image.” Meanwhile, as the #MeToo movement turns two, its founder Tarana Burke unveiled a new hashtag — #MeTooVoter — to mobilize people heading into 2020.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

On this day in 1995, hundreds of thousands of black Americans converged on the Mall in Washington, D.C., for the Million Man March, where “strangers embraced as brothers” in “a celebration of their new image of unity and hope,” as The Times reported at the time. “The tidings were of redemption and reconciliation: The Rev. Jesse Jackson said that each man should leave the rally with the declaration, ‘I turned pain into power and promise.’”

Twenty years later, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, instrumental in organizing the original march, returned to lead another, one year after the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. Also on the 20th anniversary, The Times caught up with men who had marched — from a young Watts teacher who wanted to be “a walking example” for his fifth-graders to a real-estate developer who would later create the Taste of Soul family festival in Crenshaw — about the watershed event’s legacy.

Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron are three of the leading lights of Hollywood and they have united for the first time together on screen in upcoming drama film, Bombshell.

The film, directed by Meet the Parents director Jay Roach, is inspired by the events leading to the downfall of former, late, Fox News chairman and CEO, Roger Ailes, and the women whose interactions with Ailes led to that downfall.

Oscar-winning actress Kidman, plays real-life American television journalist and author Gretchen Carlson in the movie. Following her departure from Fox News after her contact expired in June of 2016, Carlson reportedly filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her former boss, the then Fox News chairman and CEO, Ailes. Following Carlson’s lawsuit, dozens of other women reportedly stepped forward with similar accusations about Ailes.

One of the women who reportedly spoke out about Ailes was journalist and former Fox News anchor, Megyn Kelly. Kelly reportedly wrote about Ailes in her 2016 autobiography, Settle for More, detailing unwanted sexual advances from Ailes while she was at Fox News. In Bombshell, Kelly is played by Oscar-winning actress Theron, who — as revealed in the first trailer — is almost unrecognisable as herself, completely transforming into character. Indeed, she’s so unrecognisable, the internet thought it was Kelly playing herself. 

Theron’s exceptional ability to transform so completely into character was the basis for her Oscar win. In 2003’s Monster, the 44-year-old’s portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos was so convincing she won the Best Actress Academy Award for the performance.

Oscar-nominee Margot Robbie plays a fictional associate producer at Fox News in the film, called Kayla Pospisil. Interestingly, the film’s name, Bombshell, is the one word Robbie recently shared during a photocall promoting that she hates being called.

In the first trailer, released in August, a nervous-looking Robbie walks across the Fox News floor towards the elevator, hesitating to push the button for the second floor — a place she clearly feels very apprehensive about going to. Kidman and Theron join her in the elevator and the three share a very uncomfortable ride down. Flashing between the scenes are the words: “What started as a whisper, will end with a bombshell.” Watch the first trailer below.

The film is slated for a January 2020 release in Australia, and ahead of the film’s release, a second, longer trailer dropped in October. Watch the compelling second trailer below.

The Kerr-Spiegel household has made room for one more with the recent arrival of Miranda Kerr and husband, Evan Spiegel’s, newborn son just days ago.

But initial murmurs around their exciting news aside, the couple have only just addressed almost a week’s worth of birth rumours with their very own public statement, and subsequently, gifted us all with the surprise reveal of their son’s name: Myles

“We are overjoyed at the arrival of Myles and so appreciate everyone’s kind words and wishes during this special time,” the couple told People exclusively. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our beautiful son into our family.”

News of Kerr’s pregnancy with Myles first broke back in last March, when the couple announced they were expecting their second child together following the birth of their son Hart just 10 months prior.

“Miranda, Evan, Flynn and Hart are looking forward to welcoming the newest member to their family,” a representative for the family said in a statement. And the world hadn’t waiting long before the skincare mogul blessed us all with a glance at her growing bump, stepping out in stunning style on the red carpet at the Gruner + Jahr Spa Awards ceremony in Baden-Baden, Germany, just hours after their statement.

Selecting a soft pink floor length Alex Perry gown featuring cape-style sleeves and a figure-hugging silhouette, Kerr clutched her growing bump as it made its glamorous public debut.

Myles and Hart’s eight-year-old brother, Flynn, who Kerr shares with ex-husband Orlando Bloom, is undoubtedly thrilled about the arrival of a new sibling; the model and mother-of-three revealing in the past that her eldest son repeatedly asked for a baby brother or sister.

Sitting down with Jimmy Kimmel back in February 2018 when pregnant with her and Spiegel’s first child, Hart, Kerr recounted that Flynn was thrilled at the idea of having a sibling. “He’s so excited that Evan and I had been together for a while and he was like, ‘When are we going to have another baby brother or sister?’ And we were like, ‘Look, we’ve got to get married first,’ ” she told the late-night talk show host.

Of course, considering Kerr and Spiegel’s typically private approach when it comes to their personal lives, as well as the lives of their children, it’s unlikely we’ll get a look at newborn Myles any time soon, the 36-year-old keeping her social media feeds clear of any imagery of Flynn and Hart.

Jennifer Aniston has been, up until a few hours ago, that rare Hollywood star who has kept her private life relatively private, only sharing what she wants the public to know in the occasional interview. Indeed, Aniston has been the Tinseltown exception in the age of social media where fans know in real time every smoothie, gym workout and movie set their favourite celebrity has drunk, completed and is currently working on.

Aniston’s approach to not oversharing harkens back to the golden age of Hollywood when information and access to Hollywood’s biggest stars was tightly controlled by the movie studios and their publicists and it appears—just as it did in the past—to have worked. Every time Aniston has offered any tiny insight into her life via an interview, fans and the internet have dissected and discussed it at length for months and even years on end.

But, overnight that all changed when the Friends star finally set up an Instagram account and posted her very first post, which, naturally—she is one of the most popular and beloved stars on the planet after all—broke the internet. 

For Aniston’s social media debut, the Morning Wars star posted a grainy selfie with her Friends co-stars—Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer. The 50-year-old cheekily referenced the crew’s hit TV show in the caption, writing: “And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM”. The Murder Mystery star also included a nod to Friends in her bio, which reads “My friends call me Jen.”

At the time of writing, less than 12 hours after Aniston’s account went live and she posted her first post, Aniston’s follower count has already hit 4.6 million, surely making this one of the biggest social media debuts ever on the platform?

Aniston’s phenomenal Instagram debut follower count proves not only once again the enduring popularity of the star, but also that her strategy for not oversharing has worked. Her legion of fans and the internet in general are completely intrigued by this actress and her life.

However, given the star’s previous under-the-radar attitude, we aren’t expecting that Aniston will start sharing every single minute of her life and her day, it just doesn’t seem in character. But, at least she’s taken one small step towards letting her fans in on what’s happening in Rachel, sorry, Aniston’s world.

Welcome to the world of social media, Friend Jen!

Following her appearance in one of 2018’s most-hyped Netflix festive films, The Princess Switch, Vanessa Hudgens’s festive film acting chops look to have been noticed, with the actress appearing in another Christmas movie later this year.

Click Here: kanken kids cheap

Swapping out her role as both a Chicago-based baker named Stacy De Novo, and the freakishly identical Duchess of Montenaro, Lady Margaret Delacourt, Hudgens will instead step into the shoes of Brooke, a science teacher who finds herself disillusioned by love in the Netflix Christmas film-cum-rom-com The Knight Before Christmas.

And before you think that her new role is nowhere near as thrilling as her Parent Trap-adjacent one, just wait, because there’s way more to this story.

Per Teen Vogue, the film also follows Sir Cole (played by Josh Whitehouse), a medieval knight who has been transported to present-day Ohio by a sorceress. Befriending the knight, Brooke helps him navigate the modern world and aids him to fulfil his one true quest, this single act being the only way for Sir Cole to return home.

Of course, in true rom-com-Christmas film hybrid form, the knight grows closer to, and begins to fall for Brooke, leaving him to question if he still wants to return to his former life.

Directed by Monika Mitchell, who is also behind a slew of Christmas films, including The Christmas Contract and Royal New Year’s Eve, The Knight Before Christmas’s tagline reads “a cosy holiday romance about learning to let yourself believe in magic again.”

Cheesy as it may sound, this Vanessa Hudgens-led Christmas flick may just have the potential to prove as a festive film for the ages—time and copious amounts of viewing can only tell. No Australia-specific release date has crossed our gaze just yet, but considering the film is set to drop on the US’s iteration of the viewing platform on November 21, we can’t imagine we’d be that far behind.

As we’ll be organising our Christmas film viewing schedule shortly (isn’t everyone?), we’ve also got our eyes fixed on a ton of other feel-good films coming to the streaming platform.

Also joining the platform’s festive line-up is the just as highly anticipated A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby, the latest instalment in the movie series of the same name. Revisiting Queen Amber and King Richard’s love story for the third time, the plot follows the royal couple preparing for the impending birth of their first child. Of course, drama soon ensues in Aldovia, with a 600-year-old sacred truce between their family and the Penglian royal family suddenly in jeopardy.

In addition to the release of these two Christmas films, titles including Let It Snow, a John Green co-written novel-turned-film starring The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Keirnan Shipka, Holiday in the Wild, which cast Kristin Davis and Rob Lowe for its leads, and many more will make up the movies we’ll be bingeing come Christmas.

Scorpio

Mysterious, passionate, honest and powerful, Scorpios tend to gravitate towards darker colours in their footwear and wardrobe choices in line with their enigmatic nature. Their powerful charisma and penchant for midnight hues translate to a sandal style that is polished, straightforward yet also intriguing. A flat, luxuriously-crafted black leather slide from a brand like Dear Frances combines all these elements in one sandal and is an on-trend option for the Scorpio sandal wearer.

Sagittarius

Open-minded, travel-loving, humourous Sagittarians require a sandal style that is exceptionally practical for travelling while also including an element of light-hearted fun. Think flat sandal styles with a heel strap and practical cross-over detailing for maximum comfort in a bright hue like Dear Frances’s Bebe sandal in indigo—pretty and practical.

Capricorn

With understated quality and fine craftmanship important to this responsible earth sign, heritage luxury brands such as Bally are Capricorns “sole”-mate. A flat or midi backless mule in a neutral or black high-quality leather will serve the Capricorn well this summer.

Aquarius

Visionary and original, Aquarians enjoy left-of-centre fashion as much as they enjoy solving challenging problems. Aquarians will never follow the rules in any arena, so why would that be any different in their sandal choice? Being a rule-breaker and an original lends itself to unexpected sandal choices like a wedge. Wedges defy categorisation much like an Aquarian and come in a variety of styles and heel heights. Look to Edward Meller for a slew of wedge options that will satisfy even the most unconventional Aquarian.

Pisces

19 February – 20 March

Artistic, romantic, gentle and friendly, those born under the Pisces zodiac sign should look to pastel hues like lilac, baby pink and sea green when selecting their footwear. As for which style of shoe to select, a sweet midi-heeled strappy sandal—like Windsor Smith’s Jeanne lilac leather sandal—is always a good option for this water sign.

Aries

21 March – 20 April

Bold and fashion-forward, only the latest trend will do for Aries the ram. The naked kitten-heel sandal is the on-trend sandal choice of 2019 and those born under this fire sign need to look no further than this trend. Already own multiple pairs? Add another hue from an Instagram-favourite brand like Mara & Mine, because as every Aries knows, you can never have enough shoes.

Taurus

21 April – 21 May

Reliable, loyal, practical, tactile Taureans combine their reliability with a love of beautiful objects including fashion. Their tactile nature makes velvet or satin ideal shoe fabrics to look to when selecting footwear, while a sandal with a mid-heel will keep the shoe within the practical brief. Look to options like the Elena light pink satin sandal or Ginny mule in berry velvet from Sol Sana for this season’s sandal selection.

Gemini

22 May – 21 June

The two sides of a Gemini translate to footwear that is flexible and versatile, easily able to cover any mood or situation the Gemini is in. A toe post sandal with a number of different details such as an interesting print, unusual sole height or embellishment will cater to the different moods of the Gemini in just one look. Vionic Shoes Australia has a number of stellar options that will fit the bill.

Cancer

22 June – 22 July

Emotional, intuitive and persuasive, this water sign is guided by their heart and requires sandals that keep them grounded. Playing it safe is important to this water sign so neutral colours are key when making any shoe or fashion choices. Cancerians lead with emotion so a sweet, pretty kitten heel with one or two minimal straps over the foot arch or toe are a go-to style for this sign and Mara & Mine’s Xanthe kitten heels in custard are an ideal purchase this season.

Leo 

23 July – 23 August

Outgoing, good-humoured, generous Leos need a party sandal that will stand up to even the most rigorous social schedule and be the life of the party—just like their wearer. Only a high-heeled metallic ankle-strap sandal will do, think: Steve Madden’s Faith sandal in rose gold.

Virgo

24 August – 22 September

For the hardworking, analytic Virgo, footwear needs to work as hard as they do but also channel an intelligent chic look. Gladiator sandals are an option for this earth star sign with the flat sole and straps taking care of the practical side while also adding a smart edge. Sol Sana’s Clash ecru eyelet sandals are a style to consider.
