UN General Assembly Votes ‘Yes’ on Ukraine Unity

ՄԱԿ

 

The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution affirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity and calling the referendum that led to Russia’s annexation of its Crimean Peninsula illegal.

The vote Thursday was 100 in favor, 11 opposed and 58 abstentions.

The “yes” vote was higher than many diplomats had predicted, with more than half the 193 members of the General Assembly supporting the Ukrainian sponsored resolution.

Unlike the Security Council, General Assembly resolutions are not subject to vetoes nor are they legally binding but they do reflect world opinion.

Hollywood ALREADY working on movie about Malaysia Airlines tragedy

Հոլիվուդ, ինքնաթիռ,ֆիլմ

While the Australian military continue to search the southern Indian Ocean for the wreckage of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, producers in Hollywood are already working on a possible movie adaptation of the tragic crash.

Although no studio has been pitched about a Flight 370 project, one movie-industry producer told the Hollywood Reporter that he doesn’t doubt at least 50 projects are being developed.

While Hollywood may be starting the gears on an adaptation, it’s still unlikely that a film about the disaster will be in theaters anytime soon.

It took five years for any major motion picture to be released following 9/11, with Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center and Paul Greengrass’ United 93.

But the biggest impediment to any project is that details are still scant about what caused the plane to go off course and crash into the sea.
