Richard Gere trolls Trump as he makes his TV debut
CANNES — Hollywood star Richard Gere took at pop at US President Donald Trump as he unveiled his television debut at Cannes playing a billionaire tycoon not dissimilar to Rupert Murdoch. The “Pretty Woman” actor is shooting a new BBC series “MotherFatherSon”, which he said is a bid “to tell a story that relates to this crazy moment on the planet.“The reality-show president we have highlights the real stuff even more,” Gere told reporters at MIPCOM, the world’s top entertainment showcase Monday in the French Riviera resort. Gere, 69, plays the media mogul patriarch of a dysfunctional dynasty who has build up a worldwide empire on the back of his trashy British tabloids.

SYDNEY — British royals Harry and Meghan received copious baby gifts, met a koala couple and posed in front of Sydney’s dazzling Opera House Tuesday, on their first public outing since announcing they are to become parents.The happy prince and his US-born wife laughed and smiled as they were inundated with gifts — a pair of Australian baby Ugg boots, baby blankets, toy kangaroos and joeys — watched eucalyptus-munching koalas at the zoo and took a boat ride across Sydney Harbour at the start of a lengthy tour of the Pacific.“We genuinely couldn’t think of a better place to announce the, err, upcoming baby... a boy or a girl,” said a hesitant Harry, as he toasted his Sydney “mates” and lauded an afternoon reception for serving both tea and beer “in true Aussie...

Trump hangs painting of self with past Republican presidents in White House
WASHINGTON — It could be any Republican president’s fantasy: hanging out in White House with fellow conservative American leaders of years, decades, and even centuries past. For President Donald Trump, that fictional “happy hour” exists, in the form of a painting hanging at the White House that caused a huge uproar on social media when it was revealed over the weekend. The president’s critics say the scene is as real as some of the claims Trump made during his interview on “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday where a glimpse of the painting could be seen in the background. Trump’s likeness has been ruthlessly disfigured by “high” and “low” artists alike, who have made no secret of their dislike of the Republican president. But in “The Republican Club,” a painting...

Female car mechanic driving change in patriarchal Pakistan
MULTAN — Since picking up a wrench as one of the first female car mechanics in conservative Pakistan, Uzma Nawaz has faced two common reactions: shock and surprise. And then a bit of respect.

99-million-year-old snail preserved in amber
Canberra — An international team is investigating a remarkable juvenile snail trapped in amber. They estimate the creature to be about 99 million years old. The shell is easy to see, but what’s truly remarkable are the preserved soft tissues, including the head, tentacle, and eyespot. “It is absolutely extraordinary for the fossil record to produce such stunning preservation, which is exceedingly rare for any fossil of this age, especially snails and many other animals,” said paleontologist Jeffrey Stilwell with Monash University in Australia.The university calls the discovery “the first and oldest preserved soft tissue of a snail in the fossil record from the mid-Cretaceous of Myanmar.” The Cretaceous period is known for its iconic dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus rex. —...
