Theatregoers paying hundreds of pounds to see Oscar-nominated actor Eddie Redmayne in a hit West End musical have blasted the venue for its 'gross' gender neutral toilets. The ladies' and gents' lavatories have been merged at The Playhouse Theatre in London where Redmayne is starring with Jessie Buckley in Cabaret, for which tickets can cost up to £250.(Snip)The Playhouse, in Covent Garden, has received rave reviews for its rendition of Cabaret, which explores promiscuity and gender fluidity at The Kit Kat Klub, a seedy nightclub in 1930s Berlin. But behind the scenes, some theatregoers were 'mortified' to encounter the updated toilets which left women with 'no choice'

President Joe Biden kept up his hits on Russian President Vladimir Putin Wednesday–blasting his 'unprovoked' attack on Ukraine and invoking Jan. 6th as he said Putin had failed in his effort to divide' the United States. 'Vladimir Putin was counting on being able to split up the United States,' Biden said in a speech in Superior, Wisconsin. 'Look, how would you feel if you saw crowds storm and break down the doors of the British Parliament and kill five cops, injure 145? Or the German Bundestag or the Italian Parliament?' he asked. 'I think you’d wonder. Well that’s what the rest of the world saw. It’s not who we are.
A dark-clothed and masked gang on electric bikes tried to murder an innocent schoolgirl, 15, who was 'just waiting at the bus stop on her own'. Merseyside Police were today hunting a group of at least four people after the attack just after 5.10pm last night in Toxteth, Liverpool. Detectives now think believe the girl was not deliberately singled out and just an innocent bystander. A 21-year-old man who later presented himself at hospital with a gun wound to his hand was subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Police—who are appealing for witnesses and any dashcam or phone footage—said they are also currently holding
Former President George W. Bush recalled some of his memorable interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while discussing how the Russian president miscalculated the invasion of Ukraine at an event Tuesday night in Chicago. 'I introduced Vladimir Putin to Barney, our Scottish terrier, and [Putin] dissed him.(Snip)'So we're watching him try to reinstate Soviet hegemony,' Bush said. But he miscalculated by going into Ukraine, the ex-president said. 'He picks weak people to do that,' Bush said. 'He thought Ukraine was weak, but it's not. Ukraine is showing a backbone and a spine that this world sorely needs to see.'
The Pentagon announced Wednesday it will delay its test of intercontinental Minuteman III ballistic missiles scheduled for this weekend in the midst of Russian President Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine so he does not 'misunderstand' the move. Defense Department Spokesperson John Kirby said the move is a show of 'restraint' after the Russian leader put his country's nuclear forces on high alert and continues his assault on Ukraine. 'This is not a step backwards in our readiness,' he assured during his press briefing Wednesday.
Kirby said at the top of the event: 'I often come out here and tell you what we have done both in terms of exercises
The sicko who allegedly smashed his own feces in a Bronx straphanger’s face joked with cops that “s–t happens” before sneering to a Bronx judge, “F–k you, b****.” Frank Abrokwa, 37, was busted Monday at his homeless shelter in connection to the revolting Feb. 21 attack, according to cops and police sources. Upon arrest, he made light of the attack, quipping to cops, “S–t happens. Haha. This is a s–tty situation. Haha,” Bronx Assistant District Attorney Grace Phillips said during Abrokwa’s arraignment late Tuesday. Abrokwa—apparently impatient because Brooklyn detectives showed up to arrest him for an unrelated hate crime from September—also made a scene
U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said President Joe Biden's State of the Union address 'left a little to be desired' for Democrats because he did not push issues like renewable energy, student loan debt, education or immigration. The New York Democrat said Biden's speech on Tuesday, where he focused on COVID recovery and the conflict in the Ukraine, failed to capitalize on moving away from Russian oil by committing to green energy. 'I think it was a lost opportunity,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told MSNBC. 'There is profound bipartisan support to a long-term shift away from fossil fuels.'
She added that Biden had glossed over issues of 'crisis in education,'
Four people have been left injured in a stabbing rampage at a French university and a knife-wielding attacker has been arrested. Police and firefighters were called to the University of Le Mans in France at 1.45pm today after a man with a knife is believed to have broken into the Faculty of Arts. It is unclear what injuries the four victims have or whether they are in critical conditions or not.
Police said that a suspect has been arrested and that the attack did not appear to have been terrorism-related. The alleged attacker has been arrested after students claim they saw him randomly attacking other pupils.
President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday evening where he called for unity, lauded his domestic wins and announced new action against Russia after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine. Here is a fact check of some of the claims Biden made in his hour-long remarks. Gun manufacturer can't be sued(Snip)
Claim: 'Look, repeal the liability shield. It makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can't be sued.'
This sweeping statement is FALSE, because gun manufacturers can be sued and there are other industries in the U.S. that do have certain liability protections that prevent them from being sued.
A Mardi Gras reveler visiting New Orleans from South Carolina died after being caught up in crossfire between two cars in a hotel parking lot, his family and police sources said. Brandon Bovain, a 33-year-old father who went to the Big Easy with his brother and girlfriend last week, was gunned down late Friday after checking into a hotel off Chef Menteur Highway, NOLA.com reported.(Snip)The young father was one of two New Orleans tourists to be fatally shot within 24 hours after a 15-year-old girl, Heaven Nettles, of Houston, was killed by gunfire while waiting in a food truck line blocks away
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that was supposed to protect kids ages 5 to 11 from catching the virus with a 68% efficacy rate has now been outed as nearly ineffective. Its efficacy rate is actually only, get this, 12%.(Snip)What’s even more interesting is that this age group, the 5-to-11-year-old group, doesn’t even get sick from the coronavirus anyway. So the fact the shot doesn’t seem to work on them isn’t a cause for alarm.(Snip)What is a cause for alarm, though, is a government and medical bureaucracy that keeps telling Americans, all of America, all Americans of all age groups, to get
Cloth masks do little to prevent the spread of COVID-19, or other airborne diseases, a new study finds. Researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom found that 90 percent of particles could get through cloth masks, making them effectively useless during the pandemic.(Snip)Now, though, experts have discovered that these masks were doing little if anything to actually stop the spread of the virus, and likely contributed to spread as people who believed they were acting safely were not doing so. Researchers, who published their findings Tuesday in Physics of Fluids, built an airflow simulation using 3d imaging to gauge how well different masks
Kamala Harris just took dumbing down to a whole new level. During an appearance on the syndicated “Morning Hustle” radio program, Harris was asked by co-host Headkrack to explain the conflict “in layman’s terms for people who don’t understand what’s going on and how can this directly affect the people of the United States?” Speaking slowly, Harris began, “So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.” “It exists next to another country called Russia,” she continued. “Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched into former President Trump with dismay over his comments describing Vladimir Putin as 'very savvy' and a 'genius.' Christie, a former close advisor to Trump who trained him for his debates in 2020, wrote on Twitter: 'How can anyone with any understanding of the world call Putin's decision to invade Ukraine "genius" and "very savvy" as we watch him unite the rest of the world against Russia in nearly an instant?'

President Biden will promote a new “988” crisis hotline and outline funding to combat the harmful effects of social media when he devotes a portion of his State of the Union Address to the “unprecedented mental health crisis” in the country, the White House said. The three-digit hotline is available in some parts of the country, but a July launch will make it available nationwide as part of an interconnected network of local crisis centers that can respond to calls and texts. Mr. Biden plans to propose nearly $700 million in funding in his fiscal 2023 budget to “staff up and shore up” local crisis centers.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has caused confusion with her reaction to a moment during President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Biden was speaking about the dangers soldiers faced in Afghanistan and Iraq when Pelosi's response to this topic sparked debate on social media. Biden said one of the dangers was soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits while at their bases. At this moment, Pelosi began to rise to her feet while rubbing her knuckles together and smiling. Applause can also be heard from the crowd. This moment has been viewed over 1.5
The U.S. government has been advising Americans to social distance during a possible nuclear attack, according to a bulletin last updated Feb. 25, 2022.
As part of the bulletin’s warning, individuals are told to get inside to the nearest building to avoid radiation and remove contaminated clothing that could have come in contact with debris when the fallout from the attack occurred.
“Go to the basement or middle of the building,” the government advises. “Stay away from the outer walls and roofs.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday announced that he has denied a request for the state’s National Guard to deploy to the nation’s capital for President Biden’s Tuesday State of the Union address, ensuring that the Florida National Guard will not be sent to Washington, DC.The Biden administration last week requested assistance from state National Guards ahead of Tuesday’s speech. The request coincides with hundreds of National Guard members being activated in the D.C. area ahead of the address to assist with traffic and security. Florida’s National Guard, however, will not participate.
Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled President Biden Tuesday at his first State of the Union address — making rare breaches of etiquette to show their disapproval of various Biden policies.Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered throughout Biden’s roughly one hour speech, particularly when he spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children — but Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Biden’s Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabul’s airport.Many of Greene’s utterances were inaudible to reporters,
A black woman has accused Delta Air Lines of discrimination after a flight attendant allegedly asked her to move to the back of a plane to make room for two white women.
Camille Henderson said she was sitting near row 15 window during a Feb. 3 flight from Atlanta to San Francisco when the women, who were sitting in the aisle and middle seats in the row next to her, said they had first-class tickets, ABC 7 reported. “They felt like they were ticketed first-class seats, but they couldn’t provide the tickets,” Henderson told the news outlet, adding that the women continued the complaints for over an hour.

President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, apparently refuses to use the term “illegal alien” in her court opinions, opting instead for “noncitizen.”
In a handful of immigration-related cases that Jackson has ruled on U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, she has made a note to employ the term “noncitizen” or “undocumented non-citizens” rather than the terms “alien” or “illegal aliens” that are regularly used in court and in federal statutes.
Joe Biden’s State of the Union lingered far too long, but the general theme was made clear within the first 30 minutes: This is a man with no accomplishments and he knows it.
Honestly, even as a conservative, I expected more. Biden’s speech was badly written, devoid of memorable moments, and came across as a rehash of everything he’s been saying for the last two years. The applause lines felt painfully manufactured, and the president often stumbled over his words — and that’s when he wasn’t coughing.
The first part of the speech focused on Ukraine in an obvious attempt to soften the audience with a topic most agree on.
