House Of The Dragon star Eve Best reveals the absolutely wild ‘top secret’ audition process
House Of The Dragon star Eve Best has revealed details of the top secret audition process she went through for the Game Of Thrones prequel. The Princess Rhaenys Velaryon actress, 51, said hopefuls for the show based on the Fire and Blood series by George RR Martin were sent a scene from the original Game of Thrones with the names changed to audition. The Tony Award-nominee said actors competing for a role weren’t even told its title but were eventually sent a real script. ‘I loved the writing. Ryan [Condal] and Miguel [Sapochnik, co-showrunners] hooked me in immediately with the driving theme of the series,’ she told The Guardian. ‘There is a line my character says early on, “men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend to the Iron Throne.” ‘Lose the word “Iron” from that sentence and it feels all too relevant. To top it all off, they told me my character was a dragon rider. I was in!’ She also described how amazing it was to take … [Read more...] about House Of The Dragon star Eve Best reveals the absolutely wild ‘top secret’ audition process

Two days a week in the office is most we can manage, say staff at City watchdog
Staff at the City watchdog have told bosses that two days a week in the office is the most they can manage in the latest example of employees pushing back against a return to the workplace. Members of the “staff consultative committee” at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) told executives that any changes to its hybrid working policy could prove damaging during the cost of living crisis. The concerns were raised at a meeting of the FCA’s board at the end of June, when the regulator was trialling a policy that required staff to work from the office just two days a week. In recent weeks, the FCA has established a permanent requirement for staff to work from the office just 40pc of the time over a month, or two days a week on average. The complaint highlights how workers are now using the cost of living crisis to push back against more frequent days in the office, suggesting they are concerned about the price of commuting more than two days per week. It comes after a … [Read more...] about Two days a week in the office is most we can manage, say staff at City watchdog
When Russia Schemes, Moldova Suffers
In the three decades since Moldova gained its independence, Russia has spent billions, perhaps trillions, of rubles to subvert this tiny country sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine. At different times, using different tactics, Russian security services have helped create and nurture pro-Russia political parties, pro-Russia media, and pro-Russia social-media campaigns in Moldova. Russian “entrepreneurs” created a web of corruption in Moldova, too, culminating in the spectacular scheme known as the Moldovan Laundromat . In that venture , a group of Moldovan banks, with the support of several senior Moldovan politicians, among others, helped launder more than $20 billion of illicit Russian money from 2010 to 2014. Whatever schemes Russia dreams up for the ex-Soviet world—corruption, subversion, or now, ominously, invasion —Moldova has usually been an early victim. Way back in the 1990s, Russia helped separatists carve out a slice of Moldova—including Tiraspol, the … [Read more...] about When Russia Schemes, Moldova Suffers
Macron says Putin using gas as ‘weapon of war’ amid rationing fears
F rench President Emmanuel Macron has accused Russia of using energy as a “weapon of war” as the chief executive of oil and gas giant Shell warned gas rationing in Europe this winter was possible. Mr Macron yesterday told citizens to "prepare for a scenario where we have to manage completely without Russian gas." "The summer, early autumn will be very hard," he said. "Russia is using energy, like it is using food, as a weapon of war." He said the government would prepare a "sobriety plan" to conserve energy, which would start with turning off public lights at night when they aren't useful. "We need a general mobilisation," Mr Macron said in a televised address for Bastille Day. Ben van Beurden, chief executive of Shell, echoed the French president’s remarks, saying Russia had shown it is “able and willing to weaponise energy supplies.” Mr van Beurden said Moscow had “surprised” the market and told governments to be prepared for the Kremlin to restrict gas further. “For a … [Read more...] about Macron says Putin using gas as ‘weapon of war’ amid rationing fears
