First published MAY 25, 2023 Updated 28 minutes ago A crowded North Shore event kicked off the next phase of Christopher Luxon's protracted job interview for the job of Prime Minister Law and order was top of the agenda for the several hundred people who turned up to a public meeting held by National Party leader Christopher Luxon's on Auckland's North Shore yesterday. Luxon said the event didn't represent the kick-off of his campaign, as he'd been touring the country on a weekly basis all year – but a shiny new set of hoardings and a new slogan did suggest that this was Luxon's team gearing up in earnest for October's big contest.

Not even his career-defining portrayal of Tony Stark aka Iron-Man can put Robert Downey Jr.'s thespic gifts in a pigeonhole. Any movie aficionado worth his salt is aware of the actor's other prized portrayals onscreen, far removed from the multiverse of superheroes that the 58-year-old actor is famous for. The most notable of his performances see Robert embodying as much of Charlie Chaplin's mischief as his melancholy in Richard Attenborough's 'Chaplin' or poking fun at method acting as a movie star who surgically dyes his skin to portray an African-American Vietnam veteran in Ben Stiller's 'Tropic Thunder'—both of which earned him much-deserved Oscar citations.

ALIRAN Kesedaran Negara, Malaysia's first muilti-ethnic reform movement dedicated to justice, freedom and solidarity has hit out on what appears to be a concerted campaign of manipulation of the facts and disinformation about how the system of administration of justice works and the attempts to undermine the finality of the process at the Federal Court. In the first place, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should not have gotten itself involved in investigating High Court judge Datuk Mohd Nazlan Ghazali for alleged conflict of interest.

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — Ludvig Aberg of Sweden closed in on his second straight victory on Saturday when he posted a 6-under 66 at Wentworth for a two-shot lead over Connor Syme and Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood in the BMW PGA Championship. Aberg, in only his fourth month as a pro, seized control early in the third round with a 7-iron to 5 feet for eagle on the par-5 fourth, and even his lone bogey was dynamic when he holed a 35-foot putt on the 13th hole to keep command. The Swedish sensation got up-and-down from a bunker on the par-5 18th for one last birdie to put him on 16-under 200.

Typically, the primary indicator of a burgeoning wildfire in California is a plume of hazy, gray smoke wafting through the air, seen by satellites or cameras. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire, is alerted, and mitigation and containment efforts ensue. But Zhaodan Kong , a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Davis, thinks that living by the idea "where there's smoke, there's fire," gets firefighters to the problem too late, after it has already spread and is difficult to contain.
