Ana Sayfaya Dön

The headline from last night is that a potential assassin was stopped before anyone was killed. But it shouldn’t be the takeaway. The real story—highlighted by journalist Miranda Devine—is far more unsettling: “Security seemed lax.” And not in some vague, hindsight way. In basic, preventable ways. She got in...

MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend recounts how poor security was at the WHCD. She says she was able to roll up to the front door on a scooter and security did not ask to see her ID nor see her ticket, they assumed she was a guest at the hotel: "I actually showed up to the Hilton shortly after 8 P.M. And I actually took a scooter right up to the front of the Hilton driveway. And this matters because, as you know, usually there's a lot of protesters outside that's outside of those barricades before you can actually enter into the driveway of the Hilton. But this year, there are no protesters outside. I come to find out the people were actually milling about into the lobby. When I got off of the scooter and into in front of the barricade, usually you have to show ID and a ticket. The folks, the security at the gate, these were not agents, the Secret Service agents. They were not identified as Secret Service agents that I could see at the gate, but they did not ask me to show ID, and they did not ask me to show a ticket. They said, 'Oh, you're good. I'm sure you're going to your room.' I am not staying at the Washington Hilton. As I entered into the driveway, I saw the president's vehicle. The Beast was driving around in the circle of the Hilton driveway, and people walking around near it, taking photos. Secret Service was not keeping a perimeter. And it went around about two or three times while I was outside. When I entered into the Hilton, I asked Secret Service agents, which I saw they were identified as Secret Service agents, which way the ballroom was, and they said they didn't know. When I finally got my way onto elevator, no one asked me to show ID. No one asked me to show a ticket. I got all the way down to the red carpet area without ever showing a ticket to anyone in the Hilton. I am saying it like this because this is unusual."

The apple scene in "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia" (2011) wasn't in the script. Nuri Bilge Ceylan got the idea when he was walking on a day off from the shoot. He saw the apple travelling around by chance. It was a scene where two people were talking and Ceylan felt it would be better if he could make it a bit more interesting. He used it as a metaphor for human life. Ceylan said, "That was not in the script—I found that idea when I was walking around on an off day during the shoot. I saw this apple traveling around, by chance. It was a suitable place—the two of them were talking, and showing them for a long time in a static frame, two people in the darkness, talking—you can inject something in that. For that scene, I wasn’t sure whether I should use that shot or not. But when I put the dialogue over it, I liked it. I wanted to show that the fate of the apple is not so different from our fate. Everything created in the world has the same destiny—animals, trees, humans all have the same kind of destiny. In some way, the apple represents human life, as it goes to rest with the other, rotting apples. Actually, in the rest of that shot, the apple moves back into the stream, but we didn’t use that." When asked the reason why he stopped the shot there, Ceylan replied, "Because to shoot the apple [as it keeps] moving creates more hope; it’s not realistic. Giving hope has become a cliché in cinema, and I don’t like that attitude." ("The Darkness: Once Upon a Time in Anatolia", Zachary Wigon, Tribeca, 2012)

INSECURITY: LET'S TELL PRESIDENT TINUBU THE TRUTH, NOT COMMENDATION Today, the Senate had an elaborate discussion on the security situation in the country, which has worsened in the last few weeks. When the Senate President recognised me to speak, I started by reminding him how I raised this issue with him a couple of days ago, and the need for us to work together. I added that it was good the matter had come up by way of a motion. I felt that the deterioration of the security situation in most communities, the killings and abductions, and even the killing of soldiers and officers — one of them of the rank of Brigadier General — and the way terrorists are abducting students, with bandits attacking several States at the same time, are situations that even nations at war do not experience. Therefore, the matter should be examined with all the seriousness it deserves. I stated that it is very clear that not only our democracy is under threat, but the nation itself is being reduced, belittled, and threatened. I also disagreed with the approach and tone of the motion, and some of the comments from members of the majority party who, in my view, were unnecessarily political. That, in my view, did not match the seriousness of the issue. At this point, the Senate President did not allow me to conclude my comments. But what I was saying was that, yes, as I have said several times, the entire nation is under attack, and we must all unite to address this challenge. I do not agree with the request in the motion, supported by the majority of speakers from the majority party, that the President and the government should be commended. I disagree with it.
