Beyond Brexit: TV, film, music and theatre face a year of uncertainty
In this transition period, taking us until the end of December 2020, freedom of movement ie the movement of talent, personnel, artists etc can continue. Organisations like Creative Europe, founded by the union to encourage investment in the creative industries across the continent - its funding helped pay for the Oscar-winning film The King’s Speech - are still open for business for those seeking funding for their projects. There are plenty of big beasts in residence in the UK - Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros, Comcast (the new owner of Sky) - all strong enough to take any adverse movements in the value of the pound, the smaller independents may well be viewing their own future further down the line with a little more trepidation.

Southampton have sealed wins of the likes of Chelsea, Leicester and Tottenham in their last six games in the Premier League, but face a much tougher test when they visit Anfield on Saturday. Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Hasenhuttl emphasised the difficulty Southampton will face against the runaway league leaders, though he took a much more positive approach than David Moyes days previous. “If you see them play, how strong in every position they are, then everything is possible,” he said, assessing the Reds’ hopes of success.

Trump is reportedly set to relax U.S. ban on land mines
President Trump will announce as early as Friday that he will undo restrictions on using or acquiring land mines enacted by former President Barack Obama in 2014, two U.S. officials tell Reuters. Obama had moved to stop all U.S. production and acquisition of anti-personnel mines, including to replace degraded stockpiles. The U.S. is not among the more than 160 signatories to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, but it adheres to many of its provisions and prohibits the use of anti-personnel mines outside of the Korean peninsula, Reuters says. "The resumption of the use of anti-personnel land mines and continued stockpiling and production of these indiscriminate weapons is militarily unnecessary and dangerous," said Daryl Kimball at the Arms Control Association. The U.S. hasn't used land mines since a single anti-personnel mine in Afghanistan in 2002, Kimball's group says, and the last time the U.S. military used mines in any significant way was in the 1991 Gulf War.
