Fremantle Dockers Harley Bennell removed from flight for being intoxicated

HARLEY Bennell’s tumultuous move to Fremantle has taken another dramatic turn with the midfielder asked to leave a flight because he was intoxicated.

Bennell hasn’t played a game for the Dockers since being traded by Gold Coast at the end of 2015. A calf injury prevented him from playing in 2016 and was ruled out for up to 10 weeks re-injuring that calf earlier this month.

Bennell was given leave from the club on Friday. He flew to Melbourne yesterday but was removed from his flight to the Gold Coast by Virgin staff.

Jimmy Fallon plays Jared Kushner on SNL

Jimmy Fallon donned a flak jacket and suit to play Jared Kushner on SNL in a mock-reality show face off against Stephen Bannon, who was portrayed by the grim reaper.

Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Donald Trump on Saturday and called both Kushner and Bannon in to the Oval Office following reports the two advisers were feuding.

Fallon, who wore a replica of Kushner’s infamous outfit when he visited Iraq earlier this month, appeared in the cold open with the chief strategist in a showdown that mimicked the hit reality TV show America’s Next Top Model.

Colin Barnett: Pipeline, “nation-building” gas pipeline to link  to the east

FORMER WA premier Colin Barnett has broken his silence to make a passionate call for a “nation-building” gas pipeline to link the east and west coasts of Australia.

Mr Barnett, who has been keeping a low profile since losing the March election, said political leaders in the east had failed to grasp an obvious solution to their energy crisis.

“I just find it ludicrous that we have gas shortages on the east coast and we have this world-class gas resource on Australia’s west coast and we’re not using it for Australia,” he told The Sunday Times.

“Maybe, if anybody wants a real nation-building project we should be looking at transporting that gas across country, as happens in Europe, North America and Russia and everywhere else. There is nothing secret and difficult about building a gas pipeline.”

On the gas pipeline idea, Mr Barnett said it made no sense for the east coast to be looking at other solutions when there was abundant gas here.

“We will be the biggest gas exporter in the form of LNG by the end of this decade,” he said.

“From outside Australia it just looks stupid. We have a gas shortage on the east coast, prices going through the roof, industry pulling out because they don’t have long-term gas supply and (they) are talking about trying to subsidise coal stations when we have this massive resource the rest of the world is buying and we are not using it ourselves (apart from in WA).”

Clifton James, sheriff in Bond films, dies

Clifton James, best known for his indelible portrayal of a southern sheriff in two James Bond films, has died. He was 96.

His daughter, Lynn James, said he died on Saturday at another daughter’s home in Gladstone, Oregon, due to complications from diabetes.

“He was the most outgoing person, beloved by everybody,” Lynn James said.

“I don’t think the man had an enemy. We were incredibly blessed to have had him in our lives.”

James often played a convincing southerner but loved working on the stage in New York during the prime of his career.

One of his first significant roles playing a southerner was as a cigar-chomping, prison floor-walker in the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke.

His long list of roles also includes swaggering, tobacco-spitting Louisiana Sheriff J.W. Pepper in the Bond films.

His portrayal of the redneck sheriff in Live and Let Die in 1973 more than held its own with sophisticated English actor Roger Moore’s portrayal of Bond.

“When the fate of the world hangs on these two mavericks, I really do fear we’re on the brink of apocalypse”

Trump is playing into his enemy’s hands, since the Kim regime relies on supposed threat of invasion from South Korea and the US to justify repression and poverty.

Outside my window in one of the world’s most advanced cities, I can hear protesters chanting angrily against ‘Crazy Trump’.

Barely 120 miles north, the world’s nastiest regime is displaying its military muscle in a menacing show of strength.

Just beyond them, the biggest army on earth is gathering on the border. To the east, a naval strike force sent by the planet’s superpower is steaming fast in this direction.

As the crisis over North Korea heats up with incendiary posturing and talk of nuclear attacks, these are fearful days – and Seoul is the planet’s hottest spot, trapped in the midst of a terrifying tussle between two maverick leaders.

There is dark humour on the streets of the South Korean capital but behind the jokes, nerves are jangling.

For this mega-city of 24 million people – overflowing with tech firms and fashionable teenagers – has most to lose if war breaks out again on the Korean Peninsula. It sits squarely in Pyongyang’s sights, in reach of conventional artillery dug into North Korean mountains only 35 miles away over the border, never mind Kim Jong Un’s arsenal of chemical and nuclear weapons…

How you take the top off a bottle of beer if you don’t have an opener

THERE’S nothing more frustrating than getting a chilled bottle of beer and preparing to take drink before discovering you don’t have a bottle opener. Some people may try prising off the top with a key or a knife, or even risk their smile by trying to pull it off with their teeth.

But one man appears has come up with a simple way to pop the lid of the bottle and it involves a simple household item.

In a video uploaded to YouTube, student Rhys Morgan has shown how you can open a beer bottle by just using a piece of paper.

In his tutorial, which he calls “How to open a bottle of beer with a piece of paper”, Rhys shows how it can be done using a standard A4 sheet.

Kim and Kanye’s $20m estate slowly nears completion

It’s been almost three years since they bought the spectacular mansion in LA County’s Hidden Hills neighborhood from Lisa Marie Presley for $20 million and started their own multi-million dollar revamp.

The couple are due to move into the exclusive enclave with their three-year-old daughter North and 15-month-old son Saint in May – if the contractors finish off the many roofs on time.

More pets died on United than any other airline last year

More people are keeping an eye on the actions of United Airlines after a disturbing video of a United Airlines passenger being forcibly and violently removed from a plane went viral.

Most recently, several people took to Twitter to post statistical information from the Department of Transportation that showed more pets died while being transported by United than any other major airline in 2016.

The data, which surfaced on Monday, showed that United reported 9 pet deaths and 14 injuries for last year alone.

Some of the pet deaths include a Yorkshire Terrier named Diamond, a Belgian Malinois named Bakry and an American Staffordshire Terrier named Winston.

Most of the animal deaths appeared to be dogs, with the exception of a Sphynx cat.

Jim Broadbent in a tale of sex, secrets and guilt that keeps you guessing all the way

The Sense Of An Ending                                Cert: 15    1hr 48mins

Rating:

Understandably, most of us prefer not to look forward to our declining years – or what inevitably and unavoidably follows. But if we’re forced to, we all like to think that somehow everything is going to be all right in the end.

The Sense Of An Ending challenges that expectation, posing the sort of questions we go through life trying to avoid.

What if it’s not going to be all right? What if the long-forgotten sins of our distant past are going to come back and bite us painfully on our by now sagging behinds?

This is a film about sex, secrets and guilt but, because it’s adapted from a novel by Julian Barnes, it’s also about something more abstract. It’s about the nature of truth – can we ever really know what happened unless we were there ourselves?

If that makes it sound potentially rather hard work for an Easter treat, please don’t be put off.

It is modestly demanding but it’s also very well acted by a cast led by Jim Broadbent, Harriet Walter and Charlotte Rampling, directed with an attractively light touch by Ritesh Batra (he made The Lunchbox, the lovely Indian romance from 2013) and has a pleasing undercurrent of what I admit, at times, is well-concealed optimism.

Broadbent plays Tony Webster, a man in his late sixties who lives alone in affluent, leafy south London. He’s retired but runs a small camera shop as a hobby. But he hates being interrupted by customers; in fact, he’s impatient and irritable with just about everyone except for his barrister ex-wife (Harriet Walter) and his single but pregnant daughter (Michelle Dockery)…

Pitt Street Violent brawl involving up to 40 as Sydney police use capsicum spray

A 29-year-old man has been charged and a woman, 19, was injured from capsicum spray after a wild brawl broke out near a convenience store on Sydney’s Pitt Street.

Dozens of police were forced to intervene and use the spray as 40 men and a woman allegedly fought on the street at 4am on Sunday.

It is believed a fight broke out in the Arthouse Hotel and the brawl spilled onto the street before a 19-year-old man was assaulted and knocked unconscious…

Donald Trump’s presidency might be short-lived, because ‘something’s gotta give’

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is the President of the United States.

During the election campaign he made sexist, racist and discriminatory remarks in an attempt to get different sections of the American voting public onside.

His trademark “off-the-cuff” mass-communication style has made him relatable and extraordinarily popular.

But his main goal, right from his first election speech, has been to “make America great again”.

That means more jobs, tax cuts for corporate America, tighter borders, and better trade deals.

So is he succeeding? Is he actually “delivering the goods” to his voters?

What if I told you a very wealthy, powerful collection of people are already starting to make up their minds about Donald Trump?

The crash in the Mexican peso predicted the Trump presidency weeks before the election. Now, however, it’s the bond market (and the peso to a degree) that is predicting how long Mr Trump may last in the top job…

Syrian bus convoy hit by blast, scores reported killed or injured

Scores of people, including children, have been killed in a suicide bombing near Aleppo that struck a bus convoy evacuating people from besieged villages, after a deal between Syria’s warring sides stalled.

Key points:

  • Suicide bomber blew himself up near buses full of evacuated villagers waiting to cross into Aleppo
  • Plan was for people from two Shiite villages to move into Government-controlled Aleppo while Sunnis in Madaya were to be transported to rebel-held Idlib
  • State media puts death toll at 39, including children, while monitoring group says 43, indicating that may rise

Two buses had been waiting to cross from rebel-besieged territory into the Government-controlled city itself, carrying people evacuated from two Shiite villages on Friday.

Under a swap deal brokered by Iran and Qatar, the residents from al-Foua and Kfraya were being moved into Aleppo in exchange for the relocation of hundreds of Sunni insurgents and their families from the Government-besieged area near Damascus.
