PRINCETON, NJ – Princeton Mayor Mark Freda announced Friday he was seeking reelection in 2024.

Freda was first elected to office during the 2020 election.

In a media conference held Friday, Freda outlined the various achievements of his administration over the past three years.

The body of a British woman who died at the house of a controversial cult leader while on holiday in Kenya will be exhumed on Wednesday, the family’s lawyer said. Luftunisa Kwandwalla, 44, was visiting the coastal city of Mombasa when she died in August 2020, and was buried a day later, but her family has claimed foul play.

At the time, the cult leader Arif Mohamed Iqbal — a self-confessed healer — said the “devil” had killed the woman as he tried to exorcise her, according to court papers filed by the family.

“We are heading to the site,” the family’s lawyer, Jacinta Wekesa, told AFP, referring to the Mombasa cemetery where Kwandwalla was buried.

An autopsy to determine the cause of her death is expected later Wednesday.

Her initial cause of death was listed as cardiopulmonary arrest, according to a government-issued death certificate in 2020.

Kwandwalla arrived in Kenya in August 2019 to visit members of her husband’s family. During her stay, she joined Iqbal’s controversial cult, according to court filings.

She had been due to fly back to her home in the English city of Leicester but travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic prevented the trip.

The family is calling for police to investigate Kwandwalla’s “mysterious sudden” death, claiming she was buried quickly to conceal evidence.

“The hurried burial of the deceased without allowing her family members to attend the burial and view the body has brought pain and anguish to the family who deserves to know what killed her,” Kwandwalla’s brother, Imran Admani, said in court papers.

The family said Arif could not explain how the devil had killed her, describing him as “lying and dangerous to vulnerable people.”

Earlier this month, a Mombasa magistrate’s court allowed the family to hire a private pathologist for the postmortem and ordered police to provide security during the exhumation.

So far, no one has been arrested in connection with the death.

Darby Allin is one of AEW’s most daring superstars, but even the former two-time TNT Champion knows that he is cutting it close.

Allin spoke with KSDK about the street fight tag team match from Dynamite Homecoming, where he and Sting defeated Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita in the show’s main event. At one point in the match, Allin was rag-dolled across the ring and his head whiplashed off the ropes. He reveals during the interview that he nearly broke his neck on the spot.

The thing with AEW is, you can expect the unexpected. I mean that, I’m not just trying to sell anything. Every week, there is crazy shenanigans going on. Last week, I almost broke my neck. This week, we have so much crazy stuff. Literally, it’s something different every week. We don’t play it safe. I was in town, I saw this arch, and I kind of want to jump off of it.

Allin was then asked whether he ever gets nervous when performing in the ring. This was his answer:

I never get nervous because I embrace going to the hospital. I live at the hospital.

Sting and Allin have an undefeated record as a tag team in AEW. Ahead of Sting’s retirement match at AEW Revolution in March the duo have made it their mission to capture the tag team titles.

WILMETTE, IL — With 442,000 subscribers and more than 2,100 videos on his channel, Rabbi Manis Friedman has earned the title of “YouTube’s Most Popular Rabbi.”

Next month, the popular Hasidic rabbi is headed to Wilmette for two days of lectures.

“Rabbi Friedman’s Youtube videos have long been a source of wisdom in my life — they really get you thinking,” said Jordan Brook, a local fan. “His ability to make complex ideas accessible is remarkable. I can’t wait to meet him and experience his insights in person.”

Kazuchika Okada is leaving NJPW this month when his contract expires, and he has plenty of interest from AEW and WWE.

As previously reported, the belief in WWE is that it’s a real possibility, considering his age and his close relationship with Shinsuke Nakamura, who previously made the switch from NJPW to WWE. Okada has never worked for WWE while having accomplished everything in NJPW.

Recent reports suggest that he is seriously considering the possibility of joining a different wrestling promotion. People in WWE do believe that maybe there’s a better chance of getting him now than before.

According to the most recent issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported someone close to Okada stated “Although nothing has officially begun, it appears that both companies are determined to compete for him.”

Meltzer added that it is believed that AEW has made a more stronger initial offer, but as of now, no agreement has been finalized.”

La Chine manque cruellement de bébés et les derniers chiffres viennent confirmer cette tendance : le taux de natalité est en forte baisse, et ce, pour la deuxième année consécutive. Kang Yi, commissaire du Bureau national des statistiques de Chine, explique la situation : “Fin 2023, la population s’élevait à 1 409 670 000 habitants, soit une diminution de plus de deux millions d’habitants par rapport à l’année dernière.”

Avoir un enfant n’est plus une priorité 

Une des explications à cette baisse de natalité réside dans cette nouvelle génération : plus réticente, elle privilégierait son indépendance et sa carrière. L’autre explication majeure est liée à l’économie : avec le coût de la vie qui ne cesse d’augmenter, beaucoup de couples renoncent à avoir des enfants. Une habitante de Shangaï explique : “Mes collègues qui sont plus jeunes que moi ou qui viennent de se marier ne veulent pas d’enfants, parce qu’il veut rester encore jeune et qu’avoir un enfant représente un coût.”

Prince Harry’s memoir, an object of obsessive anticipation worldwide since first announced last year, is coming out Jan. 10. The book will be called “Spare” and is being billed by Penguin Random House as an account told with “raw, unflinching honesty” and filled with “insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.”

In a statement released Thursday, Penguin Random House summoned memories of the stunning death in 1997 of Prince Harry’s mother, Diana, and of Harry and his brother, William, “walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow – and horror.”

“As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling – and how their lives would play out from that point on,” the statement reads in part.

“For Harry, this is his story at last.”

The memoir’s title is an apparent reference to Prince Harry’s being a royal “spare,” not the first in line to succession. William, Prince of Wales, is next in line.

The 416-page book will come out in 16 languages, from Dutch to Portuguese, and also will be released in an audio edition read by Prince Harry. Financial terms were not disclosed, but Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will be using proceeds from “Spare” to donate to British charities. He has already given $1.5 million to Sentebale, an organization he co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to help children and young people in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV/AIDS.

Penguin Random House identifies Prince Harry as “a husband, father, humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate, and environmentalist.”

Royals watchers and the public at large have speculated endlessly since the book was first announced in July 2021, billed as “intimate and heartfelt” and tentatively scheduled for this year.

The Duke of Sussex had already revealed a news-making willingness to discuss his private life when he and his American-born wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, were interviewed for a March 2021 broadcast by their neighbor in Santa Barbara, California, Oprah Winfrey. The couple spoke of Meghan’s deep unhappiness with her new life in England, the alleged racism within the royal family and Harry’s fear that his wife’s life might be endangered had they remained in his native country.

In 1992, Diana worked with author Andrew Morton on her explosive memoir “Diana: Her True Story,” in which she described at length her unhappy marriage to the future King Charles, Harry’s father.

Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to the U.S. Harry told Winfrey that his family cut him off financially and that he helped pay for his security with money left to him by his mother. They have launched numerous initiatives, including a Netflix production deal and the “impact-driven non-profit” Archewell Foundation.

The book’s delay led to rumors that Harry was hesitating to say too much about his family, or was perhaps revising the narrative after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September. He has spoken of being estranged from his brother, William, although the siblings and their wives appeared in public together during the mourning period following the queen’s death.

According to one veteran royal correspondent, however, it was a moment in time, not a rift completely mended.

“I think there are some major unresolved issues at foot,” Roya Nikkhah, a royal correspondent who’s reported on the monarchy for over a decade, told CBS News. “For William and Harry to agree to come together and do that walkabout was not plain sailing.”

In his first address to the nation as monarch, King Charles III seemed to offer an olive branch to Harry, saying: “I also want to express my love for Harry and Meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas.”

But he also highlighted the brothers’ divergent paths, promoting William to the role of Prince of Wales, which has traditionally been assigned to heirs-in-waiting, and Kate to Princess of Wales, a title last used by Princess Diana.

“Had Harry and Meghan not stepped back from royal duties when they did, they would have stepped up, too, in terms of positioning, role, seniority,” said Nikkhah. “He’s still the son of the king, but he’s hanging out with movie stars and making Netflix shows in America.”

Ce mercredi soir, France 2 consacre une soirée spéciale aux enfants maltraités, avec, à 21h10, « Je suis né à 17 ans ». On vous dit ce qu’on a pensé de ce téléfilm inédit avec Thierry Beccaro, Elsa Lunghini et Moïse Santamaria.

De quoi ça parle ?

Je suis né à 17 ans est l’adaptation de l’autobiographie éponyme de l’animateur télé et acteur Thierry Beccaro.

Le téléfilm raconte l’histoire de Thierry (Thierry Beccaro), un ancien enfant battu par son père aujourd’hui adulte mais qui garde de cette époque des angoisses et un perpétuel manque de confiance en soi. L’annonce de la mort imminente de son père (Moïse Santamaria), avec qui Thierry a coupé les ponts il y a de nombreuses années, le fait instantanément replonger dans ses traumatismes d’enfance. Thierry veut alors tourner une bonne fois pour toute cette page de sa vie. Mais cela est plus facile à dire qu’à faire…

C’est avec qui ?

Pour incarner le rôle principal, Je suis né à 17 ans a fait appel à Thierry Beccaro lui-même.

Parmi les autres têtes d’affiche du téléfilm, on retrouve Moïse Santamaria (Manu Leoni dans Un si grand soleil depuis 2018), qui interprète ici le père de Thierry, ou bien Elsa Lunghini (Clotilde Armand dans Ici tout commence depuis 2020), qui incarne, dans ce téléfilm, Laurence, la compagne de Thierry et la mère de ses deux enfants.

Sont aussi présentes au casting : Elisabeth Commelin, alias Yolande Sandré dans Plus belle la vie, et Muriel Combeau, longtemps vue dans Avocats & associés, Fais pas ci, fais pas ça, Doc Martin, ou encore Nina.

Ça vaut le coup d’œil ?

Le public de France 2 pensait probablement déjà bien connaître Thierry Beccaro, lui qui a été le présentateur du célèbre jeu télé Motus diffusé pratiquement chaque jour entre 1990 et 2019 sur la chaîne. Pourtant, il n’est sans doute pas prêt à découvrir la douloureuse enfance que le présentateur a vécue, faite de harcèlement scolaire (car jugé trop premier de la classe au goût de certains camarades) et de violences intrafamiliales (pendant plus de dix ans par son père).

Au premier abord, la présence de Thierry Beccaro dans la distribution du téléfilm peut être perturbante. Il n’est pas ici question d’assister à une reconstitution malsaine des évènements traumatisants de son enfance : d’autres acteurs, Pierre Azzarello, Thomas Kroon et Jules Morlon, se chargent très bien d’incarner le Thierry enfant, puis adolescent.

Simplement, rares sont les personnes concernées à jouer leur rôle dans une fiction inspirée de leur propre vie. De plus, écrire ce qu’on a vécu est une chose mais les dire à voix haute en est une autre. Ainsi, l’extrême sincérité de l’interprétation de Thierry Beccaro, notamment lors de scènes qui relatent des moments particulièrement intimes de son histoire, la rend d’autant plus touchante.

Mention spéciale, au passage, à Moïse Santamaria, impressionnant et inquiétant dans le rôle du père de Thierry, un homme à la fois violent, alcoolique, envieux, symboliquement émasculé par la société et possessif.

Je suis né à 17 ans réussit à se distinguer des autres séries ou téléfilms consacrés aux violences conjugales ou intrafamiliales de par la narration adoptée par le téléfilm, dont l’intrigue est centrée sur les conséquences des violences sur les enfants battus. Ici, pas de récit chronologique qui commencerait aux premières violences ou aux premiers signaux repérés par un ou une proche, et qui se conclurait par la mise hors d’état de nuire de l’agresseur et les prémices de la reconstruction de la victime.

Dans Je suis né à 17 ans, l’action se déroule dans le présent, avec un personnage adulte qui, suite à un évènement qui le ramène à son passé, dont il n’a pas totalement tourné la page, confronte ses proches à leur attitude vis-à-vis des violences commises par son père, que l’on découvre à travers des flashbacks. Des désaccords et des incompréhensions existent, mais aucun tabou n’est ici à briser.

Je suis né à 17 ans s’oppose également à une conception manichéenne du monde, soulignant la complexité des situations et des réactions humaines, même lorsque cela touche à des histoires de violences conjugales ou intrafamiliales. Il est ainsi intéressant de remarquer qu’aucun personnage ne porte ici le même regard sur les violences infligées à Thierry, que ce soit Thierry lui-même, sa sœur, sa mère ou sa tante.

Plusieurs personnages voient même leur position s’infléchir au fil du téléfilm. Si tous les points de vue ne sont pas mis sur le même plan, ils sont, néanmoins, entendus sans être directement discrédités, de sorte à essayer de comprendre, sans nécessairement relativiser ou justifier un point de vue ou un acte.

Charge au public d’estimer si tel ou tel personnage dans l’entourage de Thierry s’est révélé impuissant ou indifférent face aux violences infligées à Thierry par son père.

En clair, Je suis né à 17 ans est une fiction touchante et une agréable surprise à découvrir ce mercredi 22 novembre à 21h10 sur France 2, à l’occasion d’une soirée spéciale consacrée aux enfants maltraités pour la journée internationale des droits de l’enfant. A noter : le téléfilm sera suivi, à 22h40, d’un débat, notamment en présence de Thierry Beccaro, sur le thème “Enfants maltraités : se reconstruire après la violence”.
