Idris Elba is putting a spotlight on WWII soldiers of color.
Elba's latest project is National Geographic's documentary special 'Erased: WW2's Heroes of Color,' a four-part series which Elba serves as executive producer and narrator, unearthing the unsung stories of people of color who served during the 2nd World War.
The series weaves a blend of historical dramatizations with curated archival footage and powerful accounts from the veterans' descendants.
Sir Keir Starmer and actor Idris Elba meet families of knife crime victims to discuss how the problem will be addressed under a Labour government. Speaking to Starmer, one mother, Pastor Lorraine Jones, who lost her son to a sword attack, said “I’ve never had this kind of communication from a person in leadership. I pray you do win.” Report by Ajagbef. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines. A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region. The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999. This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military.
