Hollywood lead actor George Clooney repeated his 2014 call for the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece in a letter to a group of scholars and cultural figures.
According to Greek newspaper Ta Nea, the actor told the chair of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles Janet Suzman that “the Parthenon Sculptures must be returned to their original owner.”
Mr Clooney reportedly went on to tell Ms Suzman that: ““There are indeed many objects of historical value that must be returned to their original owners. However, none of them is as important as the Marbles of the Parthenon.”

The Australian Energy Market Operator has reported record levels of new projects and megawatts of wind and solar coming into the main grid in the last year, and also reveals there are nearly 10 times as many projects queuing for a spot on the network.
In its latest “State of the Systems” report, a new publication designed to enhance visibility of the workings of the often contentious grid connection process, AEMO says that 12 new wind and solar generators with a total capacity of 1,560MW completed their commissioning in 2020, and are now in commercial operation.
But in a sign of the delays being experienced in some regions, it also notes that another 32 generators with a total capacity of 3,301MW had successfully completed the connections process and registered, meaning they were mechanically complete and compliant, but were yet to enter commercial operation. This was expected to occur in “coming weeks and months.”

The United States is now one step closer to nabbing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, whose ultimate fate may set a precedent on how the federal government pursues and punishes journalists and whistleblowers who expose government crimes.
On May 30, Britain’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of Assange being extradited to Sweden, where he is accused of sexually assaulting two women. From there, many suspect Assange will be taken into custody by U.S. authorities for possible prosecution on espionage charges.
This AMERICAN FREE PRESS reporter recently discussed the Assange case with John Pilger, a UK-based Australian journalist and documentary filmmaker who has been instrumental in raising bail for Assange.
