Malina Saval Associate Editor, FeaturesThe theme of fathers and sons runs through the films of Venezuela-born writer-director Lorenzo Vigas, whose 2015 debut drama “From Afar,” which focuses on a troubled middle-aged man and young hustler in Caracas, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. In Vigas’ latest film “El Caja” (“The Box”), which screened Thursday at the 39th annual Miami Film Festival, this motif continues to resonate — and on a global scale.“El Caja,” which revolves around a young boy in Mexico City longing for a father figure — a desperate search with deadly consequences — could be the prototype of how a dictator such as Vladimir Putin rises to power, Vigas pointed out.“We are always trapped in our obsessions,” Vigas told fest attendees during a Q&A that followed the screening.

Chelsea should be stripped of every trophy they won with Roman Abramovich’s cash, according to football pundit Stan Collymore.The former England striker said the UK Government’s decision to freeze the oligarch’s assets over his links to Russian warmonger Vladimir Putin called into question all the club’s achievements during Abramovich’s two-decade ownership.If Chelsea’s success was built on access to "dodgy" money how could the 21 trophies won with Roman’s roubles be allowed to stand, he asked.Collymore, 51, who played for a string of top clubs including Liverpool, Leicester and Aston Villa before becoming a TV and radio pundit, said punishment should be retrospective as it would be for offences such as doping and match-fixing.He said though Abramovich, 55, legally took control of the club he had been sanctioned for his historic support of Putin therefore it was logical to consider retro penalties.It was "the only way for English football to restore sanity", Collymore added.He tweeted: "So the question now needs to be asked if Chelsea's loans, access to 'dodgy' money and sanctions against its primary source of funds for 20 years is now rubber-stamped how can titles won in this period stand?"The British Government only knew Abramovich was a Putin accolyte today? Not the other 20 years? Who's leading the security services? Inspector Clouseau?"When RA bought the club the love of a team had strings attached. An oligarch.

Vladimir Putin’s strangely stiff walk may not be Parkinson's but could be linked to his years of being trained as a KGB operative, according to researchers.Many videos online have revealed Putin’s unusual walk that shows his right arm remain rigid by his side with his left free to swing normally.Some health specialists felt this could have been the signs of a stroke or Parkinson’s, but a group of researchers feel this is an effect of his strict training.Neurology professor Bastiaan Bloem of the Radboud University Medical Centre in the Netherlands has been analysing Putin’s walk on YouTube videos and only came to a conclusion over the strange walk after finding a KGB training manual.The KGB was the main security agency for the Soviet Union and was where Putin served for a reported 16 years.The manual shows how the KGB operatives were both trained and instructed to keep their right hand close to their chests.Researchers believe the instruction allowed the operative to be able to draw his gun quicker than a potential enemy in a move compared with gunslinger’s of the Wild West.Writing his theory in The BMJ, the British Medical Journal’s online publication, Mr Bloem and his fellow researchers said: “According to this manual, KGB operatives were instructed to keep their weapon in their right hand close to their chest and to move forward with one side, usually the left, presumably allowing subjects to draw the gun as quickly as possible when confronted with a foe.”They continued: “We propose that this new gait pattern, which we term ‘gunslinger’s gait,’ may result from a behavioural adaptation, possibly triggered by KGB or other forms of weapons training where trainees are taught to keep their right hand close to the chest

Kyiv is claiming to be flogging a 'captured Russian tank' on Facebook Marketplace, for just £2,700, as Vladimir Putin's forces continue their invasion in Ukraine. The tank, which the listing says is "perfect for killing people and destroying vehicles", is a T-64, a Soviet main battle tank introduced in the early 1960s.After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the new Russian Ground Forces decided to do away with T-64s, and they were gradually put in reserve or scrapped, so it is unlikely this one was actually captured.It's more likely a joke, as revealed by British-Lebanese freelance conflict journalist Oz Katerji, who tweeted the listing.
