Sports“Mission Impossible” has officially begun. Chelsea hosts Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, coming from a 2-0 deficit in the first leg. All the problems of a negative season hinge on this almost impossible match against the reigning European champions, who triumphed in last week’s clash at the Bernabeu.
Last Wednesday gave the clear impression of Madrid’s superiority. “Our reality is that we are 11th in the Premier League and we start the second leg with a 2-0 deficit,” said Frank Lampard. “However, these are realities against which we are fighting, trying in every possible way to show who we are.”
Who Chelsea really is this year, they still don’t seem to have figured it out in London. He didn’t do it at the beginning of the season with Tuchel, then in 6 months with Potter. Now Lampard tries, who has suffered three defeats in three games, including the first quarter-final.
“I don’t want to blame anyone for the situation we’re in, I’m just saying that’s the situation and we’re working to improve it,” added Lampard. – It is not about dedication, but about concentration at work. A job that would take time, but we are trying to do it quickly, getting results as soon as possible”.
Lampard also has to face the prospect of “bankruptcy”. That idea, barring the near-impossible upset of Real Madrid, means that Chelsea’s season will effectively end on April 18, with the final month and a half of the Premier League to be played without ambition.
“We will do everything to get through, including trying to get the fans involved, who can give us a big hand.” However it ends, every game for Chelsea should be an opportunity to try and win because individually, including me, and collectively, we all want to show that we are Chelsea.”
Chelsea’s impossible mission is called Real Madrid, the “mountain” to climb, which is also the reigning European champion team. What in the Champions League turns into an unreachable “mountain” for almost everyone.
“To have the success they’ve had, first of all you need a great coach,” says Lampard, referring to Carlo Ancelotti. – I know him very well, because I worked with him. Ancelotti deserves all the achievements, he has maximum impact on Real Madrid. We saw last year as well, how crucial it was in the march to the final.
The other thing Real Madrid have is a group of players who have been playing at this level for years, which means they have talent, work ethic, leadership skills. I think it’s a great recipe for success, plus the individual talent of special players who can decide a game at any moment.”

TechnologyWorries about artificial intelligence are keeping Google’s chief executive awake at night. Sundar Pichai has stated that this technology can be very harmful if developed in the wrong way.
He also called for a regulatory framework for artificial intelligence similar to that for nuclear arms control.
The head of Google also points out that competition in the technology industry can override concerns about security issues around this issue.
In an interview given to 60 Minutes on CBS, Pichai said that governments will have to find global regulatory frameworks alongside the development of Artificial Intelligence systems.
Last month, thousands of AI experts, researchers and supporters, including Elon Musk, called for a six-month “pause” in the development of powerful AI technology.
Google’s parent company Alphabet owns UK artificial intelligence company DeepMind. Google has already launched an artificial intelligence chatbot, Bard, in an attempt to answer ChatGPT.
Pichai points out that AI can cause problems because of the potential for misinformation. The head of Google has argued that the version of its artificial intelligence technology that is already available to the public, through the Bard chatbot, is safe.
He added that Google is responsible and will not release advanced versions of Bard for public testing.
Asked by the CBS reporter why Google launched Bard when it didn’t fully understand how it works, Pichai replied: “Let me put it this way. I don’t think we fully understand how the human mind works.”
Pichai acknowledged that society today does not seem ready for rapid advances in artificial intelligence.

TechnologyMontana lawmakers have passed a bill banning the use of TikTok, a move that is expected to face legal challenges but also serve as a testing ground for a “TikTok-free America” that many national lawmakers have envisioned.
The measure against the popular app now awaits Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte’s signature, but is expected to face hurdles.
TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech company ByteDance, is under intense scrutiny over concerns that it may hack user data or promote pro-Beijing propaganda and disinformation on the platform.
The heads of the FBI, the CIA and many lawmakers from both parties have expressed these concerns, but have presented no evidence that this has happened.

SportsMiami has been engulfed by major floods as a result of the heavy rains that have recently fallen in this state. This could hinder the normal development of Formula 1, where the US Grand Prix is expected to be held on May 7. The bad weather in recent days in Florida has flooded many areas, including those of Miami, exactly where the competition will take place in a month.
Circulation in this area has become impossible, as many roads have been closed to avoid problems. Some of the closed roads in the area of the famous stadium are the ones where the race cars will pass or next to the track, so the situation does not look good at all.
According to local media, the situation seems problematic as it has been raining heavily for several days in a row. This has prevented engineers and workers from starting the anticipated preparations to make the civil runway ready. An emergency that comes less than a month before the race, while there is still a lot of work to be done.

Entertainment1. Saint Omer
This tough-minded, heart-breaking drama about race, class and motherhood was France’s entry to last year’s Oscar race, and I’m still mystified as to why it wasn’t nominated. Alice Diop puts her experience making documentaries to good use, as she bases her story on the real-life case of a young Senegalese woman in France charged with abandoning her baby on a beach to die. Diop invents Rama, a pregnant novelist who goes to the town of Saint Omer to witness the trial, which plays into her own doubts and fears. As Laurence, the mother on trial, Guslagie Malanda is unnaturally calm, almost frozen in resignation. Kayije Kagame as Rama lets you see her mind racing and her heart pounding as she watches, even though her face is impassive. Diop based her dialogue on court transcripts, but the results go far beyond dry facts on the page to create an enthralling film with two profound and vivid women on screen
2. Close
Lucas Dhont follows his award-winning debut, Girl, with another delicate yet emotionally shattering coming-of-age drama that is so naturalistic you could mistake it for a fly-on-the-wall documentary. Its heroes are Léo (Eden Dambrine) and Rémi (Gustav de Waele), two 13-year-old boys who enjoy an intimate friendship in bucolic Belgium. But when they enrol in a new school, peer pressure stretches their relationship to breaking point. Superhumanly sensitive to the pains of being a teenager, Dhont understands that it doesn’t take overt bullying to make young people feel as if they are under unbearable attack. The boys’ classmates’ casual questions are enough to change them forever.
3. John Wick: Chapter 4
The latest instalment of the artful action-filled franchise with Keanu Reeves as the assassin we root for has no competition for the year’s best mainstream, commercial film so far. With a multi-million-dollar price on his head, Wick channels his inner James Bond, globe-trotting through Paris, Berlin and Osaka, trying to avoid being killed. This entry is bigger and splashier than the previous Wick entries, and director Chad Stahelski makes it every bit as visually stunning and entertaining, with action full of martial arts, guns and swords. Reeves’ likeable persona helps attach us to a character who long ago lost count of the bodies he has sent on their way. Ian McShane is ever a delight as Wick’s urbane colleague, Winston, and the film gives us one more chance to see Lance Reddick, who died recently, as the concierge, Charon.
4. Holy Spider
Ali Abbasi’s grisly Holy Spider is based on the true story of a married builder (Mehdi Bajestani) who murdered 16 sex workers in Iran’s holy city of Mashhad in 2000 and 2001. Starring Zar Amir Ebrahimi (winner of the best actress award at Cannes) as the determined journalist investigating the crimes, it seems at first to be an atmospheric companion piece to Silence of the Lambs and other big-screen serial-killer dramas. The provocative twist is that some citizens and politicians see the murderer as a local hero on a moral crusade. Behind the generic thrills, Holy Spider is an examination of society-wide misogyny that seems all the more astute in the wake of the Mahsa Amini protests.
5. The Worst Ones
Sometimes non-professional actors can seem extremely unnatural on screen, but the opposite is true in this sharp, serious yet light-handed fiction about children and adolescents in a run-down neighbourhood in northern France. The conceit of the meta-drama is that real students are being recruited to play fictional variations of their own stories on screen. That is exactly the process the directors Lise Akoka and Romane Gueret, former casting directors, employed in making The Worst Ones, whose ironic title refers to the bad reputation of the kids who are cast. The two children and two adolescents who star here are captivating, with built-in screen presence, as they deal with and laugh at the callous, middle-aged man directing them. Winner of the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes last year, The Worst Ones has an unpretentious ease yet becomes a thoughtful look at the exploitation and voyeurism of filming real lives.
6. EO
When a Polish circus is shut down, one of its performers, a donkey, is sent to live in an equestrian centre. But he doesn’t stay there for long. Instead, our long-eared hero trots across Europe, through a series of different episodes in different genres, as if he is guest-starring in a variety of other films. What unites his picaresque adventures, which were inspired by Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar, is their anguish at man’s inhumanity to man (and man’s inhumanity to donkey), and their startlingly psychedelic camerawork, editing and music. Jerzy Skolimowski, the director of EO, might be 84, but he has never been more engaged or energetic. We won’t see another film this year that is so extravagantly bizarre, yet so sweet, loving, and mischievous.
7. Return to Seoul
Davy Chou’s small-scale film is deceptively ordinary in its premise. Freddie, a Korean woman in her mid-20s who was adopted as an infant and raised in France, travels to Seoul and reluctantly looks for her birth parents. But as it goes on, the story leaps ahead two years, then five, and depicts Freddie’s morphing sense of identity in unexpected, thoroughly convincing turns. Is she French or Korean; is her look that of a grunge student or a glam businesswoman; does she want to find her mother or not? Park Ji-Min is vibrant and keeps us off-guard as Freddie, and Chou offers a fresh and bracing style. He sets the story in ordinary spaces – narrow streets, offices, restaurants – with a polished look and intimate feel. The original English title better captures the film’s exciting swirl of identity: All the People I’ll Never Be.
8. Infinity Pool
The latest entry in the burgeoning “rich people have a bad time on an island” sub-genre, Infinity Pool shimmers with reflections of Triangle of Sadness, Menu and Glass Onion, although it’s murkier and more toxic than any of them. Alexander Skarsgård stars as a struggling author who visits an exclusive beach resort with his wealthy wife. He discovers too late that the country has a policy of immediate execution for certain crimes, and his holiday from hell gets bloodier, and more jaw-droppingly strange, from then on. It’s true that both the character and the film lose their way, but this whirlpool of extreme cinema proves that its co-star, Mia Goth (who is just as impressive in Pearl), is one of the most extraordinary actresses of her generation, and that its writer-director, Brandon Cronenberg, is talented enough in his own right that we should probably stop comparing him to his dad, David Cronenberg.

LifeStyleA foreign blogger in Bali was arrested and will soon be deported to her country after she took several nude photos of a tree sacred to the locals, believed to be 700 years old.
Activist Ni Luh Djelantik shared photos on social media showing a girl posing next to the Kayu Putih tree located at the back of Taban Temple, 23 km north of Denpasar.
The images went viral and prompted the authorities to arrest the blogger, whose identity has not been disclosed.
“Do you think it’s cool to go naked in our holy places? Go back to your country if you don’t respect our tradition and culture”, the activist went along with the photos.
A similar event was recorded a year ago when the Russian influencer, Alina Fazleeva, was deported by the authorities to Bali after she also posed nude near the sacred tree.

TechnologyThe FBI is warning users about public charging stations and what to avoid.
As he notes, scammers have managed to “hijack” public chargers and thus have the ability to infect devices with malware that can give hackers access to your phone, tablet or computer.
This practice is known as “juice jacking” and allows criminals to use USB cables to “plant” viruses or steal data within minutes.
“Avoid using free charging stations at airports, hotels or shopping malls. Criminals have found ways to use public USB ports to inject malware and tracking software into devices. Take your charger and USB cable and use an outlet instead,” the FBI says.

EntertainmentIt has been rumored for some time that “Warner Bros. Discovery” is set to return to Hogwarts and now it has finally been confirmed.
“Your letter to Hogwarts is here. Max has ordered the first Harry Potter TV series, a faithful adaptation of the iconic books,” the production tweeted with a video announcement.
Your Hogwarts letter is here.
At the moment there are no details on what exactly the series will cover or who will play the main characters, but Variety writes that a series with an entirely new cast is planned. Each of the seasons would take the plot from one of the seven books, meaning the series would be filmed for years.
“Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and his incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the heart of the franchise and available to “was seen,” it was announced by the production.
Book author J. K. Rowling will executive produce alongside Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts.
“Harry Potter” is a saga created by J. K. Rowling’s book series about the legendary wizard and his struggle to save the wizarding world from Lord Voldemort.
It is well known by now that these books spawned a film franchise starring Daniel Radcliffe, which was a huge success and is still very popular.
As Bloomberg reports, negotiations regarding this new project are in the final stage and J. K. Rowling should also be included in the recording of the series.
The plan is for the “Harry Potter” series to have seven seasons, each based on a book. This series has been talked about for a long time and it seems that soon “the light will appear”.
Many are wondering who will play the main characters in the series, who were embodied in the films by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson who played Hermione and Rupert Green, better known as Ron Weasley.

SportsThey are the reigning champions of the Champions League and have the “Golden Ball” in their group. Real Madrid took a clean 2-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea to go comfortably into the second leg in London.
Frenchman Benzema was the author of the first goal for Madrid in the 22nd minute after an assist from Brazilian Vinicius Junior.
For Chelsea, who were led in this match by coach Lampard, it became even more difficult when Chilell left the field of play in the 59th minute after being punished with a red card. Asensio thought about Real’s second goal and again the “assist man” was the Brazilian Vinicius.
With this result, Ancelotti’s team will travel calmly to London, in the meeting that will take place next Tuesday.

TechnologyA television station in Kuwait claims to have created a virtual news anchor using artificial intelligence.
“Fedha” made its debut on a Twitter account of Kuwait News, a media partner of the Kuwait Times.
She appeared as a young woman with light hair, wearing a black jacket and a white blouse.
“Hello, I’m Fedha, Kuwait’s first news anchor working through artificial intelligence at Kuwait News. What news do you prefer to hear? I am ready to listen to your requests”, says the virtual presenter in Arabic.
According to one of the television editors, Fedha is able to speak with a Kuwaiti accent and read newspaper headlines. He explains that its name comes from an old Arabic word for silver.
