Support food and sanitary drive
The Humanity Foundation is heading back to one of its most-loved venues, PnP Towers, and this time, the call is louder than ever: support women and NPOs in need. In preparation for Women's Month, the foundation will host a Food and Sanitary Drive on July 26 at 09:00, aimed at collecting essentials for women in need, particularly those affected by gender-based violence. According to founder Pierre Marneweck, the drive is more than just a charitable act- it's about restoring dignity and showing solidarity with the organisations on the front lines. 'We need your support, so that we can support our NPOs, especially those who take care of women and provide safety for GBV survivors,' he said. The drive calls for donations of non-perishable food, sanitary products, toiletries, and personal care essentials. Every donation counts. Attendees can expect a day of open hearts, community spirit, and meaningful giving. A warm, welcoming atmosphere will make it a day to remember- all in the spirit of unity and compassion. 'Let's unite on a day of fun, entertainment and open hearts, caring for those in our community.' For more information, contact Pierre on 082 610 7593.

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Netflix's original film Rebel Ridge flew relatively under the radar at the time of its release, but thanks to a recent Emmy nomination, it's finally getting the attention it deserves. The high-octane 2024 film from filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier is in the running for Best Television Movie at the 2025 Emmys, up against Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, The Gorge, Mountainhead, and Nonnas. With a 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and a star-making turn from Bond frontrunner Aaron Pierre, it's easy to see why fans are flocking to watch Rebel Ridge. Written, directed, produced, and edited by Saulnier (Green Room, Hold the Dark), Rebel Ridge combines edge-of-your-seat suspense with sharp political undercurrents. The story follows Terry Richmond (Pierre), who arrives in the quiet town of Shelby Springs with a simple mission: post bail for his cousin.

As the stakes escalate, his mysterious past resurfaces – and it may be the town's only hope for justice. The ensemble cast also features David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell. The film was honored with Best Movie Made for Television at the 30th Critics' Television Awards, adding awards recognition to its critical success.

Given the high quality of the film, some have wondered why it went straight to Netflix, with The Guardianarguing it should have gotten a major cinematic release: '… a movie that deserved the very most somehow saddled with the very least.' More Trending The rave review concludes: 'There's such electricity to Rebel Ridge – I just hope enough people get the chance to feel it.' Meanwhile, New York Magazine calls it an 'instant slow-burn action classic.' Whether you're in it for the explosive action, layered storytelling, or to see what might just be a preview of the next James Bond in action, Rebel Ridge is streaming now on Netflix. Got a story?

EastEnders fans praise Pierre Moullier as Oscar Branning
Oscar Branning, played by Pierre Moullier, made his debut as the third child of Max Branning (Jake Wood) and Tanya Cross (Jo Joyner) on the BBC soap this week. Oscar, now 17, was last seen on the Square in 2017, portrayed by child stars Gabriel Miller-Williams, Neo Hall and Charlee Hall. Now back with a bang, viewers were quick to remark on Pierre's humorous acting style and catty quips. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one user said: 'Pierre Moullier is the best thing to happen to EE in a while. What an addition. He fits right in from the get go, and he is so funny.' Another added: 'Pierre is already so good. Perfect casting. Funny, spiky, cheeky but has that vulnerability too. And the physical comedy!' While a third added: 'What a fantastic debut. Oscar Branning is already so iconic.' However, joining the soap as part of an iconic family holds its responsibilities, and in particular, fans are raving about the uncanny on-screen resemblance of Oscar and his troublesome dad Max Branning. One excited user was quick to note how Oscar's mannerisms were like Max's – meaning extra brownie points for Pierre. Credit to user on Reddit who clocked this, but love that Pierre Moullier has clearly done his homework and is making such clever, subtle acting choices #EastEnders In a clip shared from last night's episode (July 15), on Reddit and X, fans spotted how Pierre appeared strikingly similar to Max. One user said: 'Did anyone else notice this small detail in tonight's episode?'

While someone else added: 'He's fantastic to have nailed mannerisms like this…top tier casting.'

Shootout on high seas leads to seizure of 2,300 pounds of cocaine, 3 suspects killed off coast of Haiti
Three suspected drug traffickers were killed in an exchange of fire as police in Haiti confiscated more than 2,300 pounds of cocaine aboard a boat, officials said Tuesday, in a rare drug seizure in the troubled Caribbean country. The police raid took place off the coast of northern Haiti near Tortue Island where traffickers are suspected of transferring drugs, Port-de-Paix prosecutor Jeir Pierre told Radio Caraïbes on Tuesday. Pierre said police have long postponed any action at that location because of a lack of resources, but noted that a regional police director recently requested a boat to use around Tortue Island. "We have had this area in our sights for a long time," Pierre said. Police approached a suspected drug trafficking boat on Sunday and ordered the suspects aboard to raise their hands, but they did not comply and instead opened fire at the officers, Pierre said. Officers returned fire, with two suspected drug traffickers jumping into the ocean and later dying. A third suspected drug trafficker died on shore while a fourth one, from the Bahamas, was injured and later arrested, Pierre said. Police said on social media that one of suspects who died was a man from Jamaica. Police also released images on social media of the seized cocaine. The photos showed officers next to stacks of drugs, with some of the packages labeled "Rolex" on the front. Pierre said no Haitian police officers were injured. The U.S. government has previously noted that powerful people in Haiti are involved in the country's drug trade. In August 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned former Haitian President Michel Martelly, accusing him of abusing his influence to facilitate the trafficking of drugs, including cocaine, destined for the U.S. "Many of Haiti's political and business elites have long been involved in drug trafficking and have been linked to the gangs responsible for the violence that has destabilized Haiti," the Treasury Department said. Haiti has long served as a transit hub for the movement of cocaine and other illicit drugs to the U.S. and Dominican Republic, according to a report by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. The U.N. office has also noted that some of Haiti's gangs have bigger arsenals than the police as they have become "stronger, richer and more autonomous."

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Three suspected drug traffickers were killed in an exchange of fire as police in Haiti confiscated more than 2,300 pounds (1,000 kilograms) of cocaine aboard a boat, officials said Tuesday, in a rare drug seizure in the troubled Caribbean country.
