The cartoon favourite and Mattel toy He-Man battles Skeletor on the big screen, and Garsington continues its run of excellent early operas Masters of the Universe Out now Swords and sorcery seem to be having a little bit of a moment, with the excellent Deathstalker remake a couple of months ago. Now Nicholas Galitzine flexes his muscles as the 1980s Mattel hero He-Man, with Jared Leto vamping as the evil Skeletor. Erupcja Out now Pete Ohs directed, produced, shot, edited and co-wrote this lo-fi hipster movie about Bethany (Charli xcx) and Rob (Will Madden), a young couple on holiday in Warsaw who reconnect with an old friend when a volcanic eruption prompts Bethany to re-evaluate what she wants from her life. Scary Movie Out now Before the concept pole-vaulted over the shark with the laugh-free binfires that were Date Movie, Epic Movie and Disaster Movie, the first Scary Movie films had a certain something: lewd, crude, but with some undeniable knockout gags. Now the original talents are back for a “rebooquel” parodying the likes of Terrifier 3, Ma and M3gan. Enzo Out now Robin Campillo (120 Beats Per Minute) returns to co-write and direct the final film from his friend Laurent Cantet, who died aged 63 after starting to make this tale of a teenager (Eloy Pohu) from a rich family who pursues an unexpected future, training as a mason and falling for a Ukrainian builder (Maksym Slivinskyi).

A Chinese shipbuilder has unveiled a blueprint for a massive, nuclear-powered floating island that will serve as a container transfer terminal and a charging station for vessels. The floating terminal will be powered by advanced molten salt reactors that use liquefied salt as both a fuel and coolant. These reactors can store vast amounts of thermal energy and cool without the need for water. Jiangnan Shipyard, a subsidiary of state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation, said the complex...
Somerset House, London Escher’s paradoxical geometries and impossible gravities may baffle the mind – yet even his wildest works were never just fanciful, as this fun and gripping show makes clear We think we know the world of Maurits Cornelis Escher with its mind-bending staircases and buildings that impossibly twist upon themselves. Yet a shocking glimpse of reality intrudes in Somerset House’s gripping journey through his metaverse. In 1945, Escher designed a diploma for students at a temporary academy in Eindhoven, recently liberated from Nazi rule. Behind a wise old owl in the foreground, twisting columns of black smoke rise from a riverside town, their evil sinuousness reflected in the water. The message of this depiction of war is not only that Escher was a civilised individual surviving a brutal age but also that his visual delights were never just fanciful. Even his wildest speculations reveal the workings of the world itself, grounded as they are in what Galileo called “the language of mathematics” in which “the book of nature is written”. You don’t have to be fluent in that language to lose yourself in Escher’s art. You just need to look, and this exhibition lets you look so much more closely and deeply than you can in books and reproductions and imitations of his work. At times you feel you are actually inside his paradoxical places. I chuckled for ages in front of his 1958 lithograph Belvedere in which a king and queen survey a mountainous landscape in different directions from two storeys of a Renaissance building, but wait, they don’t just face different ways, their separate floors are totally at odds, the king’s pointing sideways while the queen faces out of the picture in a 90-degree shift: the columns on the front of the king’s balustrade support the back of the queen’s floor and the whole building turns in two different dimensions inhabiting two truths at once. No wonder the builders are dressed as jesters while an architect sits studying geometry. Continue reading...

NEW DELHI: India is likely to order more than $2 billion worth of military drones from domestic firms this year in its biggest such purchase, an industry body working with the government said, as global and regional conflicts boost demand. The plans are in advanced stages with deliveries expected over 18 to 24 months, for a jump in value from recent government orders worth 30 billion rupees ($313 million) for tactical-class drones, said Smit Shah, president of the body. “In the next phase, tactical drone procurements in India may exceed 200 billion rupees, or more than $2 billion,” said Shah, whose Drone Federation India represents more than 550 companies and works closely with the government. Shah said the new orders may follow a fast-track procurement route designed to meet urgent operational needs, with deliveries probably needed within 24 months. The country has 600 firms making drones, with more than 100 focused on defence applications Drones in spotlight India’s push follows clashes with arch-rival Pakistan in May last year, when both sides deployed unmanned aerial vehicles at scale for the first time, highlighting the offensive potential of low-cost drones. The conflicts in Ukraine and Iran have further sped adoption globally, driving down costs and reshaping battlefield tactics. In March, the defence ministry approved a proposal worth about 2.38 trillion rupees ($24.85 billion) to buy transport aircraft, missile systems and “remotely piloted strike aircraft”, or armed drones, without giving a spending breakdown. “Drones are force multipliers on the modern battlefield,” said Ramesh Chandra Padhi, an executive at IG Defence, a builder of advanced unmanned aerial and short-range missile systems. “The Indian army is following emergency or fast-track procurement to expedite the induction of drones on a very large scale,” the former senior army officer added. India’s exploding drone industry India has more than 600 firms making drones and components, with more than 100 focused on defence applications. The companies range from large players such as Adani Group, Larsen & Toubro and Tata Advanced Systems to startups like ideaForge, Newspace Research and Asteria Aerospace. They work on building reconnaissance, logistics, loitering munition, precision-strike and critical component systems. In recent years, India has overhauled a typically slow defence procurement process to allow faster acquisition of drones, particularly after clashes with Pakistan exposed gaps in surveillance and strike capabilities. New Delhi has started relying on emergency procurement powers and swifter efforts under the Defence Acquisition Procedure, compressing timelines to months instead of years. At the same time, in its push to boost domestic manufacturing, it is giving priority to systems made at home. The government has also expanded schemes such as Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX) to fund prototypes and enable smaller firms to win initial orders and help scale up production quicker.

Copa do Mundo de 2026. Divulgação/Fifa A receita com apostas durante a próxima Copa do Mundo deverá ultrapassar os US$ 50 bilhões (cerca de R$ 251 bilhões na cotação atual), disse à AFP o especialista em apostas Darren Small, um ganho extraordinário para as empresas do setor. As receitas serão significativamente superiores às da edição de 2022, em grande parte porque o espetáculo futebolístico quadrienal foi expandido para 48 seleções, bem acima das 32 que competiram no Catar. "Simplesmente o tamanho e o alcance deste torneio garantem que ele será o maior evento de apostas da história", disse à AFP David Stevens, chefe de Relações Públicas da casa de apostas inglesa Coral. Outro fator, segundo Small, vice-presidente da Sportradar, uma das principais empresas de tecnologia esportiva do mundo, é que os apostadores agora também se interessam pela "celebridade dos jogadores", ao passo que, anteriormente, limitavam-se a apostar na vitória ou derrota de uma equipe. "Esperamos um grande interesse nas apostas especiais sobre jogadores e no que chamamos de 'bet builders', ou opções de apostas personalizadas", acrescentou Small. "Veremos um interesse muito maior nesses tipos de apostas. Por exemplo: jogadores marcando gols com o pé esquerdo ou direito, número de passes, desarmes, qualquer dado estatístico". "E, a partir daí, os clientes constroem narrativas, histórias do tipo: 'Acho que o time X vencerá esta partida, as duas equipes marcarão, o jogador X fará um gol de cabeça e haverá 15 escanteios'", observou o especialista. Para Stevens, esse tipo de aposta 'à la carte' é "uma das áreas de crescimento mais rápido" do setor, satisfazendo o apetite de uma "nova base de clientes mais jovem" em busca de "oportunidades de apostas mais dinâmicas". - Argentina e França favoritas - Quanto aos favoritos ao título, Small afirma que as duas seleções preferidas pelos apostadores em todo o mundo são a Argentina e a França, embora um número significativo de pessoas também tenha apostado que a Inglaterra encerrará uma espera de 60 anos para erguer seu segundo troféu da Copa do Mundo. "Na verdade, (para os apostadores britânicos) eles são os terceiros favoritos - atrás apenas da França e da Espanha - e, se Thomas Tuchel (o técnico da Inglaterra) puser fim a 60 anos de sofrimento, nós, agentes de apostas, teremos de arcar com um pagamento significativo", disse ele. "No entanto, a natureza cada vez mais global do nosso negócio significa que uma vitória da Inglaterra não seria tão custosa quanto teria sido, digamos, uma década atrás", observou. Em relação às estrelas individuais, há um interesse considerável em torno das previsões sobre quem terminará como o artilheiro do torneio, com o astro francês Kylian Mbappé e o atacante norueguês Erling Haaland atraindo um grande volume de apostas. - Prognósticos "estranhos" - Mas Small parece mais intrigado com outro nome que por enquanto figura, surpreendentemente, na lista dos 10 principais candidatos a artilheiro da Copa do Mundo (torneio que terá início no dia 11 de junho), segundo as apostas registradas. Trata-se do atacante neozelandês Ben Waine, no qual foram feitas apostas de uma maneira descrita como "estranha" e "peculiar", colocando o jogador acima da estrela de sua seleção, Chris Wood, do Nottingham Forest, da Inglaterra. Tanto Small quanto Stevens concordam que a distribuição geográfica das partidas, pelos Estados Unidos, Canadá e México, traz alguns problemas. "O único desafio que enfrentamos é, obviamente, a questão dos horários dos jogos sob a perspectiva do público europeu", observou Small. "Os jogos da Costa Oeste exercerão certa pressão nesse sentido. Serão mais difíceis de acompanhar a partir da Europa. Mas também temos uma região sul-americana muito ativa, com o Brasil e outros países", observou ele. Small também aponta que, até o momento, tem havido pouco interesse entre os apostadores em um título mundial para os Estados Unidos, um dos países-sede. Porém, é de se esperar que - caso o país levante o troféu - o presidente Donald Trump esteja lá, no palco, ao lado dos jogadores. "Se os Estados Unidos desafiarem as probabilidades de 40 para 1 e erguerem essa taça, espere cotações extremamente baixas para a aposta sobre se o presidente estará bem no meio das comemorações!", disse ele, sorrindo.
