Robert Pattinson has been having one hell of a year on screen, with critically acclaimed turns in the excellent The Drama and Christopher Nolan’s box office juggernaut The Odyssey.

He plays American TV journalist Chris Hansen, the former host of the show To Catch a Predator, in Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime. And while the film may perplex audiences, there’s no denying that Pattinson should by all rights be on his way to an Oscar nomination.…
A United States ban on diesel exports would not necessarily leave Europe’s fuel stations empty overnight, but it could push up prices, forcing European governments into another round of emergency intervention just as households, farmers and hauliers are feeling the effects of the wider energy crisis. The prospect of Washington keeping those barrels at home is especially uncomfortable for Brussels, which acknowledged the bloc’s dependency on US diesel after ditching Russian energy. The Commission said the issue was being discussed with EU countries and the industry. The bloc is already facing a fuel shortage after the war with Iran disrupted…
Hundreds of southern right whale calves have died in recent months in Argentine Patagonia, in an episode that has put scientists and authorities on alert.

Serifos is one of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades. Behind its major tourism development lies a history that most people know nothing about. The island was an important mining centre as far back as antiquity. Its subsoil is rich mainly in haematite and magnetite, with the result that to this day half of Serifos is perforated with galleries and shafts after many years of mining. In the south-west, mainly at Mega Livadi and Koutalas, visitors can still see rusted rails, machinery, tools, wagons and loading piers. These are the visible traces of the intensive mining activity that shaped…
