Domestic cinema continues to draw large audiences in Cuba because many viewers feel movies better mirror their problems and lives than the state-controlled news media.

READ MORE La ville de Hodeida, port stratégique de l’ouest du Yémen et principal front du conflit, reste le théâtre de violents combats et raids aériens qui mettent en péril la trêve conclue en Suède sous l’égide de l’ONU entre forces loyalistes et rebelles Houthis. Dimanche, des échanges de tirs sporadiques étaient rapportés par des habitants de cette cité des rives de la mer Rouge qui constitue le point d’entrée des opérations humanitaires au Yémen, pays pauvre ravagé par des années de guerre. “On entend les bruits de raids et d’échanges de tirs sans pouvoir les localiser”, a dit un des habitants joints par téléphone, sous le couvert de l’anonymat. Mais ce sont surtout les affrontements et raids aériens de la nuit, les plus violents depuis l’annonce du cessez-le-feu jeudi, qui inquiètent, les belligérants s’...

READ MORE It has been 20 years since Mark Tewksbury came out publicly  in what’s widely considered to be the first time a Canadian Olympian openly identified themselves as gay. He made front page headlines and the move caused him to lose a six-figure motivational speaking contract because he was declared “too gay.” Tewksbury, who won a gold medal in the 100-metre backstroke at the 1992 Summer Olympics, recently sat down with The National ‘s Adrienne Arsenault to talk about what has changed since that moment for gay athletes, the future of the Olympic games and the politics surrounding them. Tune in to Tewksbury’s full interview with The National ‘s Adrienne Arsenault on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. ET. “My life has transformed 100 per cent in the last 20 years,” said Tewksbury, now 50. “From being brave enough to take that step, to talking about the topic when nobody wanted to talk about it and enduring years an...

READ MORE Canadian employers may need to step up their game if they want to avoid costly staff turnover, a new survey suggests. Research conducted by Nielson on behalf of human resources software company Ceridian found that nearly three quarters of respondents were either looking for work, or would consider jumping ship if approached with the right opportunity. Among 1,001 Canadians and 1,000 Americans surveyed for the company’s annual Pulse of Talent report, 37 per cent said they were either actively or casually looking for a new job, and 36 per cent say they’d consider a new position if recruited.   In November, the unemployment rate in Canada hit its lowest point since Statistics Canada started tracking that data 40 years ago. Given the particularly tight labour market for skilled workers, human resources experts say companies can’t afford to assume staff will stick around — even for a few...
