Hollywood has a long tradition of remaking or adapting original works for the big screen, and sometimes the results are truly exceptional. However, I don’t believe that will be the case with Mads Mikkelsen’s 2020 Oscar-winning comedy-drama Another Round (Best International Feature Film, 2021), originally titled Druk in Danish. The film is remarkable on many […]

PLANS to cut migration risk being sabotaged by the European Convention on Human Rights, a review warns.
Raising the salary threshold for British citizens and settled migrants wanting to bring in a spouse on a family visa could breach international law, it says.
The Migration Advisory Committee said lifting the bar to £38,700 — the current threshold for skilled worker visas — was unrelated to family migration.
It was likely to break protections under Article 8 of the ECHR, which could trigger UK court challenges.
But it is understood Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will reject the advice and press ahead with tougher rules.
The previous Tory government came up with the planned rise to help cut net migration by 300,000.
After taking office, Ms Cooper ordered a review of the plan, saying the system must be “fair and coherent”.
The MAC has now recommended a lower threshold of £23,000 to £25,000.
It warned the £38,700 figure was copied from a different visa route, the skilled worker system, which has “a completely different objective and purpose”.
Sticking to that figure, the review says, may spark challenges on Article 8, which guarantees family life rights and is used to overturn immigration decisions.
A Home Office source insisted: “The MAC offered advice but it’s a decision for the Home Secretary.”
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “If the ECHR stops us from setting our own visa rules, we should leave the ECHR.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “We are considering the findings and will respond in due course.”

COMPETIZIONE (3.30 Salisbury, nap)
Champion jockey Oisin Murphy takes over from Rab Havlin on this three-year-old who has improved with every run for the Gosdens. He missed his juvenile season and badly needed his debut at Newmarket in April before going down in a tight finish at Donny. He hit the crossbar at Chelmsford 19 days ago and looks ready to win. This trip suits and he’s progressive.
VIBRANT PEARL (5.40 Catterick, nb)
Has been second on both starts, including in a photo last time out. She enjoyed the drop back to five furlongs there but stayed further on debut and that stamina could be an asset in the holding conditions. She doesn’t need much more to get off the mark.
JACK SPARROW GREY (6.50 Fontwell, treble)
Has won all three starts at this track by growing margins. He sees out this trip strongly and his rider’s 5lb claim can help defy the handicapper again.
LAUDABLE (6.10 Catterick, Lucky 15)
Was rusty on return before taking a big step forward when second at Ayr three weeks ago. He has winning form at this tricky track and has dropped to a handy weight.
