Not that this woman, whose son is fighting in ukraine, wants any change a
Going home with the big Oscar Trophies One year from now, in 2025. There were some great movies in the offing at the oscars this year, and for the most part, the prizes went the way most people expected, with one or two notable exceptions, and it was a pretty solid Oscars Ceremony as well. For me, the best moment was when ryan gosling brought the house down when he performed imjust ken from the movie barbie, but it was the picture oppenheimer which went home with the most oscar trophies. Oppenheimer. It was oppenheimer s night to rejoice. It took home seven trophies, including the top best picture prize. Cillian murphy. Best actor for its leading man, Cillian Murphy, and Best Director, as everyone expected, went to Christopher Nolan for his masterful portrait of the so called father of the atomic bomb. Movies are just a little bit over 100 years old. Imagine being there 100 years into painting or theatre. Backstage, he was buoyant. The film has been a commercial and critical hit, and n

Time for a look at the Business News now with marc ashdown. Hello, this is World Business report, im marc ashdown. We start in the us, where the all important Inflation Data is just out. Prices inched up injuly, but less than expected. The Consumer Price index, a key inflation figure, rose 3. 2 compared to a year ago. It was running at 3 injune, so on the face of it, the pace of price rises has ticked up again. But the markets had expected a bigger increase, so could todays figure be good news .
