CNN —Henry Winkler credits landing the role of Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli to an accent he made up on the spot during his “Happy Days” audition. Wallace asked Winkler how he transformed into the “epitome of cool” in a new episode of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”“Because I trained for many, many years to be an actor, and I got to play somebody. I wasn’t somebody who I wanted to be,” Winkler replied, adding, “And it was so much fun. We are incredibly friendly.”Winkler said producers originally envisioned The Fonz as “a taller Italian kid.”“And they got you know, this short Jew from New York, but all I did Chris, all I did was change my voice,” Winkler recalled. New episodes of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” debut Fridays on HBO Max and Sundays on CNN at 7 p.m.

Two Denver firefighters were suspended without pay after they declared a woman dead when she was actually alive, officials said. One of the firefighters, Lt. Patrick Lopez, was also demoted over the June 24 incident, the city's Department of Public Safety said in an order of disciplinary action. The order says that an officer went into the home, came out and said the woman had bluish-purple discoloration on the skin, fluid leaking from her body and smelled like she was decomposing. Lopez, according to the order, said the officer told firefighters they did not need to go inside the home because the woman was "obviously dead." An investigation determined that Lopez likely lied about the officer telling firefighters not to go into the home.

For more than two months, Jesús carried a clipping of that photo to every prison in El Salvador, and then to every hospital. When police and soldiers fanned out across El Salvador to make their arrests, Bukele tweeted the daily number of “terrorists” detained and talked tough about making their lives miserable. A soldier frisks a motorcyclist at a checkpoint outside Comasagua, El Salvador, on Oct. 6. They should be kept behind bars for as long as possible, said Gallegos, who is also a proponent of the death penalty in El Salvador. After forming in Salvadoran immigrant communities in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s, gang members brought their criminal networks back to El Salvador.

A woman holds a sign at a rally outside the White House asking the Biden administration to stop supporting Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry, in Washington, U.S. October 9, 2022 in this picture obtained by Reuters. Gordon Whitman/via REUTERSOct 9 (Reuters) - Activists on Sunday rallied at the White House to call on the Biden administration to end support for the government of Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry, as the Caribbean nation faces a humanitarian crisis due to gangs blocking the distribution of fuel. A broadcast of the rally showed several hundred people gathered outside the White House, holding signs bearing Haiti's flag or with messages including "Let Haitians decide their own future." The Biden administration has not signaled that it plans to change its stance with respect to Henry. U.S. Representative Val Demings last week introduced the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act of 2022, which calls for a new federal investigation into those who support Haitian gangs.

☆ Analysis: As Putin escalates Ukraine war, China stands awkwardly by him

China will instead dig in on its awkward stance of calling for dialogue and peaceful resolution while refusing to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they said. But China has been careful not to provide any direct material support that could trigger Western sanctions against it. "I don't see how different any new position will be ... China doesn't support the war, it doesn't support conflict, that's been very clear from the beginning," said Henry Wang Huiyao, founder of the Beijing-based think tank Center for China and Globalization. Russia says its actions in Ukraine are a "special operation" to degrade its neighbour's military capabilities and root out people it calls dangerous nationalists. Although China probably hoped for a short war, Putin's battlefield moves in Ukraine - seeking to counter recent defeats - are unlikely to concern Beijing or change the substantive nature of the countries' relationship, analysts said.

One of the reporters noted that Powell's public calendar showed calls with Larry Fink, BlackRock's chief executive, in March, April, and May. The exchange was hardly the first time no-bid contracts between the Fed and BlackRock's Financial Markets Advisory unit raised questions. Still, former employees told Insider that FMA has served as a clear source of public-facing clout for BlackRock. "The FMA clients have extended their advisory relationships to be multiyear." A little over a year ago, FMA pulled employees out of BlackRock's office there, three former employees said.

În urmă cu câteva săptămâni, Marea Britanie a fost pusă în carantină peste noapte de întreaga planetă. Fostul record similar a fost de 2.847 de persoane care au așteptat 12 ore pentru un pat în ianuarie 2020. Pe de altă parte, Marea Britanie este cea mai eficientă țară când vine vorba de programul de vaccinare. A fost detectată în eșantioane care datau din octombrie și ulterior a fost reperată în alte câteva țări, în special în Regatul Unit și în Franța. Reacția agresivă față de Marea Britanie de acum câteva săptămâni nu a fost una alimentată de descoperiri științifice, ci de frică.
