Emilio Sakraya on growing up with a half-brother: “Often bad air”

BERLIN: Actor and singer Emilio Sakraya (25) describes growing up with his younger half-brother Ilyes Raoul (17) as very difficult. “We had to share a room despite the huge age difference. As a 16-year-old to fall asleep listening to Benjamin Blümchen’s cassettes, that just doesn’t go together,” said the Berliner of the German Press Agency. “That’s why there was often bad air at home.” The 25-year-old, who plays the leading role in the new Fatih Akin film “Rheingold” (theatrical release in October) about the life of rapper Xatar, is releasing his second album “1996” this Friday. On the song “Schicksal” he also sings about the connection to his half-brother. In the meantime, the relationship with his half-brother, who also acts (“TKKG”) and makes music, is good. This is also due to the fact that he himself has matured and matured in recent years.


Author Heinz Strunk doesn’t find Niendorf all that terrible

HAMBURG: Cult author Heinz Strunk has nothing against the Baltic Sea town of Niendorf, which he mercilessly dismantled in his latest novel “Ein Sommer in Niendorf”. “If I actually found Niendorf that terrible, I would certainly not have gone there voluntarily (about) twenty times,” he told the “Hamburger Abendblatt” (Tuesday edition). Unfortunately, most people could not distinguish “between character speech and author opinion”. However, a reading in Niendorf is not planned, he said. His novel is about a would-be writer who settles in Niendorf on the Bay of Lübeck for three months and tries in vain to write a book. Instead, he falls into the loser couple Breda and Simone and sinks into alcohol.

Chastain recalls “charged energy” after slap scandal

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Jessica Chastain recalls the tense atmosphere at the Oscars when she had to give her acceptance speech shortly after the slapping scandal. “I ran into this room with a very charged energy,” said the 45-year-old from the British fashion platform “net-a-porter.com” about the moment when she was supposed to accept her Oscar on stage at the award gala at the end of March. Chastain won Best Actress for her role in The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, shortly after fellow actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock in the face.

“I was trying to figure out how to just breathe and calm down,” the actress recalled. “It was a strange evening.” During her speech, Chastain spoke out against intolerance and discrimination. “I didn’t know everything I was going to say and there were moments when I started to get emotional,” said the Hollywood star. However, she had previously thought about the topics for which she wanted to use this global stage if she was allowed to go up there.


Dark company past: “Brown heritage”

COLOGNE: You produce custard powder, cars or steel and got rich with it: The Quandts, the Flicks, the Oetkers, the Porsches, Reimanns or von Fincks are great German entrepreneurial dynasties that have one thing in common: They look back on a dark past. Because they all collaborated with the National Socialists and were guilty of using forced laborers.

The Dutch business journalist David de Jong traces this depressing story in his book “Brown Legacy”. These companies have one thing in common: After the war, they were cleared of their misdeeds, continued to earn good money and only came to terms with the past when public pressure had become too great. De Jong tells this inglorious story on a broad basis of facts, but in a conversational tone, often lightened up by anecdotes. Sometimes, as in the Quandt case, the private details may go a bit far, but of course he reaches a wider audience.


Threatening China: “Red Alert”

HAMBURG: Is the People’s Republic of China planning to conquer Taiwan soon? So, after the Ukraine war, is the next global political upheaval already imminent? For the ethics professor Alexander Görlach, this danger is acute. The title of his book shows this: “Red Alert. How China’s aggressive foreign policy in the Pacific is leading to a global war.”

Görlach, who vehemently supports Taiwan, lists what makes China so dangerous for its immediate neighbors and for the West: growing militarization, imperialist posturing, ideological hardening and the attempt to create a global network of dependencies. All in all, an extremely bleak picture.

However, recent developments, which the author was no longer able to take into account, show that not everything always goes in China’s interests. His attempt to tie Pacific island nations closely to himself has met with resistance from some of those he is courting, and the US is currently building the Quad Indo-Pacific security alliance with India, Japan and Australia.


“Aquaman” star Momoa becomes an ambassador for ocean protection

LISBON: “Aquaman” star Jason Momoa is now an ambassador for the protection of the oceans and their inhabitants. “It is with respect, admiration and humility that I join the UN family in committing myself to the most important work of all: serving, protecting and preserving the ocean and all living creatures on our beautiful BLUE planet,” wrote the 42 -year-old on Instagram. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) named him an “ambassador for life under water” at the United Nations Ocean Conference on Monday. The Hawaiian-born actor is best known for his role as DC superhero Aquaman, who rules the underwater kingdom of Atlantis and can communicate with marine life.

According to a UNEP report, Momoa has been campaigning for a long time, among other things, against pollution of the seas by single-use plastic and for the preservation of coral reefs. As an ambassador, he will continue to alert the world to the urgency for action.
