In Air Force One , the President himself (played by Harrison Ford) was hijacked. And then there's Liam Neeson in Non-Stop . In Apple TV's new seven-parter Hijack , it's Idris Elba's turn to be the cool, unflusterable one who finds himself the eye of the in-flight storm, as a gang of oafish thugs take over the plane on which he's flying from Dubai to London . Each episode supposedly covers one-seventh of the seven-hour flight. The flight is Kingdom 29, and Ben Miles plays the smooth but rather shifty pilot Robin Allen ( pictured below , Kaisa Hammarlund as First Officer Anna Kovacs).

Over 60s with the unhealthiest lifestyles are significantly more likely to require admission to a nursing home than their peers with the healthiest lifestyles, suggest the findings of a large population study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health. Physical inactivity, smoking, poor diet and sleep disorders between the ages of 60 and 64 seemed to be particularly influential: they were associated with a more than doubling in the risk of admission, the findings show. Modifiable lifestyle risk factors are associated with the development and progression of several long term conditions, such as diabetes and dementia.

It's surprising to realize that Manila owns the South Cemetery in Makati and once owned the property that has been the New Bilibid Prison since the late 1930s. Manila technically regained its status as capital in 1976, but not really: Its briefly reclaiming the distinction from Quezon City in 1976 was part of the image-building of the dictatorship which then stripped the designation of meaning in 1978, when Metro Manila was designated the National Capital Region. Under Fidel Ramos a capital hocus-pocus took place, with Taguig quietly being zoned as the actual capital, which explains its becoming the future home of the Supreme Court and Senate, a plan itself undermined by the proposal to move administrative functions to New Clark City, a combined legacy of the Arroyo and second Aquino administrations.
