In "My Policeman," Harry Styles plays a police officer who settles down with a schoolteacher (Emma Corrin) but finds himself drawn to a dashing museum curator (David Dawson) who befriends them both. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-… A man and a woman in a swim...
Among the most anticipated films of the festival is "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," the follow-up to writer-director Rian Johnson’s surprise 2019 blockbuster, which finds Daniel Craig returning as detective Benoit Blanc. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-…
“The Woman King,” starring Viola Davis, is a fact-based story about the Agojie female fighters of the African kingdom of Dahomey. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-… A fierce-looking woman stan...
"The Fablemans" has been touted as Steven Spielberg’s most personal picture. It’s based on his cinema-besotted youth. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-…
The story of musician “Weird Al” Yankovic co-written by the man himself, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” looks to turn the conventions of the musical biopic on its head. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-…
Beyond the premieres, Taylor Swift will appear for a conversation along with a screening of “All Too Well: The Short Film,” which she directed to go with the 10-minute version the song. #TIFF22 latimes.com/entertainment-…

Last week, Jeff German, an investigative reporter at the Las Vegas @reviewjournal, was stabbed to death outside his home. An elected official who was the subject of stories written by German was arrested last night in connection with the killing. reviewjournal.com/crime/homicide… Image
As Review Journal employees continue to cover this story, and as they grieve their colleague's death, we encourage you to read German’s coverage and support the @reviewjournal.
Read their coverage of the killing, which has shocked the American news media.
reviewjournal.com
German was working on a new story about Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles the week he was killed. German had previously investigated Telles’ office after “allegations of emotional stress, bullying and favoritism” surfaced from employees.

It’s also hard to imagine what California will look like next year or the year after — let alone in 2030, or at midcentury.

Already, people are struggling to survive the heat as they go about their daily lives.

Thread

Already, firefighters are collapsing on the job because it’s so damn hot. Already, Lake Mead and Lake Powell are on the edge of “dead pool” as a long-term drying trend shrinks the snowpack that feeds the Colorado River and its tributaries. latimes.com/california/sto…
And already, California is having trouble keeping the lights on as rising temperatures drive up air conditioning use. That’s what happened Tuesday, when the state narrowly avoided power shortages after setting a new record for electricity demand.

It was just before 9 a.m. and already nearing 100 degrees as @Sammy_Roth stared out at the menacing steel pillars of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, in California’s far southeastern corner.

Read his dispatch from California’s hottest county:
latimes.com/environment/ne…
The record-smashing heat that would threaten rolling blackouts across much of California was still days away.

But triple-digit temperatures are par for the course in the Sonoran Desert enclave of Imperial County, population 180,000.

latimes.com/california/sto…
So far this year, Imperial’s average high temperature is more than 6 degrees warmer than any other California county, federal data show.

Over the last five years, it’s gotten less than half as much rain than the next-driest county, on average.

As has been said many times over, we look to the royal family for the kind of jewel-encrusted, gilded-coach-chauffeured institutional ritual that this country, by choice and definition, does not have, @marymacTV writes. latimes.com/entertainment-…
For Americans, who experienced Queen Elizabeth II at a physical and emotional distance, she was an almost mythological figure, the most enduring main character in the world’s longest-running soap opera.
latimes.com/entertainment-…
Over the years, that character has been cast in many lights: fairy tale princess, colonial despot, self-sacrificing monarch, money-sucking figurehead, under-appreciated working woman, unfeeling mother-in-law.

From Helen Mirren to Olivia Colman, here’s what actors who’ve portrayed Britain’s longest-serving monarch (and won awards for doing so) had to say about what they learned from studying the queen. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Helen Mirren earned a slew of awards, including the lead actress Oscar as well as a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, for her turn in "The Queen."

Following the monarch's death, Mirren released a statement. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
