CNN —A major fire ravaged the 80-year-old iconic Al-Ahram Studio in Cairo, causing extensive damage and spreading to adjacent buildings on Saturday morning, according to the Egyptian state news website Al-Ahram. The fire, which took firefighters over five hours to extinguish and prompted an evacuation of nearby residential buildings, erupted just hours after the completion of filming for a Ramadan television series, Al-Ahram added. Videos circulating on Egyptian media sites showed the studio site and the buildings around it fully affected by the fire. The studio had been instrumental in producing countless Egyptian films and television series, marking it as a significant cultural asset. Egypt’s Public Prosecutor has launched an investigation into the cause of the fire at one of the Arab world’s oldest film production houses, state media outlets report.

JAKARTA, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Indonesia's new criminal code ushers in a raft of new laws, including banning sex outside of marriage, insulting the president, and expressing any view that runs counter to state ideology. Indonesia is also trying to entice foreign visitors back after the pandemic and the national tourism board described the new code as "totally counter-productive". We have already expressed our concern to the ministry of tourism about how harmful this law is," said Maulana Yusran, deputy chief of Indonesia's tourism industry board. Indonesia has been discussing revising its criminal code since declaring independence from the Dutch in 1945. Defending the passage of the bill against criticism, Indonesia's Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly told parliament on Tuesday: "It's not easy for a multicultural and multi-ethnic country to make a criminal code that can accommodate all interests."

☆ Dilip Kumar, una dintre cele mai mari vedete ale epocii de aur a cinematografiei indiene, a murit

Alături de Dev Anand şi Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar a fost unul dintre cei trei monştri sacri ai epocii de aur a Bollywood-ului, cuprinsă între sfârşitul anilor 1940 până la începutul anilor 1960.Poreclit "regele tragediei" din cauza sobrietăţii sale naturale, Dilip Kumar a apărut în peste jumătate de secol în circa şaizeci de filme, jucând în unele dintre cele mai emblematice producţii indiene ale perioadei respective.Kumar şi-a ratat însă probabil ocazia de a avea o carieră internaţională, refuzând oferta lui David Lean de a-l pe juca Cherif Ali în "Lawrence of Arabia", lansat în 1962. În cele din urmă, Omar Sharif a acceptat rolul.Pe numele său real Mohammed Yusuf Khan, Dilip Kumar s-a născut pe 11 decembrie 1922 la Peshawar, un oraş situat azi în nordul Pakistanului care făcea parte atunci din India britanică.Tatăl său, un negustor de fructe, şi-a dus familia la Bombay în anii 1930.Tânărul a refuzat să preia afacerea familiei după ce a fost remarcat de actriţa Devika Rani care i-a permis să apară în 1944 în primul său film, "Jwar Bhata".Ea l-a convins să-şi schimbe numele pentru a intra în lumea cinematografiei fără ştirea tatălui său care nu a aprobat această carieră.Una dintre cele mai faimoase interpretări ale sale rămâne rolul din "Mughal-E-Azam", unul dintre cele mai mari succese ale cinematografiei indiene, lansat în 1960, care spune povestea legendară a unei iubiri imposibile dintre un prinţ mogul şi sclava sa.Spre deosebire de alţi actori de la Bollywood care au apărut în sute de filme, Dilip Kumar şi-a ales cu grijă proiectele cinematografice, ceea ce nu a făcut decât să-i consolideze aura de star într-o industrie cinematografică extrem de concurenţială.La sfârşitul anilor 1990, el s-a implicat mai mult în politică, acceptând să lucreze pentru reconcilierea dintre India şi Pakistan. Doi ani mai târziu, a fost ales parlamentar al Partidului Congresului, atunci aflat în opoziţie.
