Expert’s verdict on rumours Vladimir Putin is using body double – based on face analysis
A “super recogniser” has weighed in on whether Vladimir Putin has been using a body double. Simone Malik reckons that the Russian dictator isn't using a doppelganger for engagements and changes to his features are instead down to natural ageing or a sign of health conditions. Speaking to the Daily Star Simone, who works as a portrait artist, explained that the 70-year-old nutter’s “bloated appearance, skin dullness, weight gain or loss is just a part of the normal ageing process or any underlying health issue.” READ MORE: Plane passenger's fury as airline gives suitcase to charity despite it not being missing Simone has weighed in on the debate following a flurry of headlines claiming that Putin was using a body double to attend a visit to Moscow University, where onlookers noted that “Vlad” was wearing what looked like “high heels”. “I think that that is Putin.

A Dane to remember
Hamlet Old Vic, London SE1 M.A.D. Bush, London W12 Coyote on a Fence Duchess, London WC2 He's 23, a year out of Rada and the youngest person ever to play Hamlet at the Old Vic. Ben Whishaw is a true discovery. He's a verse speaker who can make Shakespeare's lines sound as if they were the most natural and effective way to examine a sinewy thought. He moves so lightly that you feel he half-wants not to be, even before he says so. The thought of Hamlet in a beanie may make your blood run cold, but the first sight of this spindly waif in Trevor Nunn's modern-dress production leaves an indelible impression, and a certainty that a youthful Hamlet can take the part into a different register. Dwarfed by John Gunter's design of grim, towering, parking-lot-grey, Whishaw comes on as completely vulnerable and thoroughly adolescent, holding himself apart from everything around him and yet disturbed by it all. He can't stop wringing his hands; he flops down as if it were too … [Read more...] about A Dane to remember
Flight attendant reveals crucial rule for families not seated together on planes
BUDGET airlines charging for seat selection is a particular bugbear of British fliers, but none more so than the young family. In recent years, there have been countless stories of stressed parents trying to find seating next to each other once on the plane. For any mums and dads who find themselves in this situation - a member of cabin crew has this advice... try and sort the issue before you board. Allie Malis, a representative at the Association of Professional Flight attendants told 7news.com.au : “It puts a lot of pressure on us to ask favours of passengers to switch around and it’s a very time-sensitive part of flight when we’re boarding." The issue can become especially heated if passengers spot an empty seat in a slightly more premium section - for instance, the extra legroom row. Malis added: “From a practical standpoint, I understand - if you have three people crammed in one seat and an empty row up there, shouldn’t everyone just be able to spread out? … [Read more...] about Flight attendant reveals crucial rule for families not seated together on planes
Russia issue looms for Paris Olympics, Zelenskyy rebukes IOC
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 9 GENEVA (AP) — The question of if and how Russia competes at the Olympics hangs over the 2024 Paris Summer Games. Just as it has now for five straight Olympics during Thomas Bach’s leadership of the IOC, whose support this week for some Russians to compete in Paris was publicly challenged Friday by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russia and its athletes have been at risk of being banned — though ultimately competed — at each Olympics since the steroid-tainted 2014 Sochi Winter Games that was Bach’s first as president of the International Olympic Committee. This time it is Russia waging war on Ukraine. Previously it was Russian state-backed doping and then Russian authorities trying to cover up evidence of that scandal. Zelenskyy wants Russia excluded from taking part in Paris while its military is occupying and attacking his country. … [Read more...] about Russia issue looms for Paris Olympics, Zelenskyy rebukes IOC
