“The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles,” the family said.

Born in London, Dame Angela later moved to New York and attended the Feagin School of Dramatic Art.

She was noticed by a Hollywood executive at a party in 1942, and given her first role as a maid in the 1944 film Gaslight.

Her subsequent career took her from Broadway to Hollywood, with success on the big and small screen.

But it was her portrayal of sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the television series Murder, She Wrote which gained her millions of fans across the world.

She took up the role in 1984, and continued for 12 years and nine seasons.

The show made her one of the wealthiest women in the US at the time, with a fortune estimated at $100m.

She earned Oscar nominations for her role as the maid in Gaslight, and as Sibyl in The Picture of Dorian Gray in 1945, and Laurence Harvey’s manipulative mother in The Manchurian Candidate in 1962.

She was also given an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement, aged 88 in 2013.

During the ceremony, fellow actor Geoffrey Rush praised her as the “living definition of range”.

It followed a lifetime achievement award from Bafta in 2002, as well as a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

After a move onto Broadway in the 1960s she won several Tony Awards, including for the portrayal of Nellie Lovett in Sweeney Todd in 1970.

She was made a Dame in 2014 for services to drama, charitable work and philanthropy.

Plusieurs pains de cocaïne se trouvaient dans une valise. – DTPN

Le passager d’un véhicule a été condamné par le tribunal correctionnel de Fort-de-France après avoir été interpellé par les policiers de la Brigade Anti-Criminalité.

Sa valise était plus que garnie. Le 14 septembre dernier, il n’a pas eu de chance en tombant sur une patrouille de la Brigade Anti-Criminalité (BAC) de la Direction Territoriale de la Police Nationale (DTPN).

Ce jour-là, les effectifs de police en patrouille procédaient à une patrouille au niveau du pont de la Galleria au Lamentin. À l’intérieur d’un véhicule où se trouvaient deux individus, les fonctionnaires découvraient que le passager était en possession d’une valise contenant plusieurs pains de cocaïne emballés dans du film aluminium. Après la pesée, le total de la marchandise était évalué à 8,173 kilos.

À l’issue de leur garde à vue, les deux individus ont été déférés au parquet de Fort-de-France. Jugé récemment par le tribunal correctionnel de Fort-de-France, le passager a été condamné à 2 ans de prison dont 1 avec sursis. Le conducteur a été laissé libre.

Taxi operator and cop standoff, operator says sorry

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

A taxi operator, who was captured in a video on social media hurling expletives at a plain-clothes policeman has found himself in trouble with the law.

The incident also ended with the taxi operator admitting that he was in fact the one at fault.

The driver also made it clear that members of the public should be careful how they jumped to conclusions when they see some incidents on social media.

The 30-minute video also showed the taxi operator pulling up in front of an unmarked police vehicle at a traffic light in Half-Way-Tree.

The video showed the policeman driving up to the taxi operator and speaking to him about his action and it was at that time the driver began to hurl expletives and even threw a small object in the direction of the cop.

The taxi operator was later pulled over by the cop and warned.

At the end of the ordeal, the taxi operator was seen in the same video warning social media users to not jump to conclusions when they saw some videos circulating placing some police in a bad light because some taxi operators were responsible for triggering some situations between transport operators and lawmen.

Glissement de terrain au Venezuela: une…

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Guadeloupe FranceAntilles

Le glissement de terrain qui s’est produit samedi à Las Tejerias (centre-nord du Venezuela) a fait une “centaine” de morts selon les autorités, les secouristes n’ayant mardi soir plus d’espoir de retrouver des survivants parmi la cinquantaine de disparus.

Quarante-trois corps ont été retrouvés et “il y a encore un nombre important de personnes disparues: 56 personnes disparues. Nous atteignons presque une centaine de victimes ayant trouvé la mort dans cette tragédie, cette catastrophe naturelle”, a affirmé le président vénézuelien Nicoals MAduro à la télévision d’état VTV.

Le précédent bilan faisait état de 36 morts et 56 disparus. Un deuil national de trois jours avait été décrété dimanche.

“Tejerias renaîtra de la douleur, de la tragédie, du désastre et Tejerias brillera à nouveau dans la vie, dans la paix. En avant Tejerias!” a ajouté le président, qui avait tenu des propos similaires lundi en se rendant sur place.

La vice-présidente Delcy Rodriguez a précisé qu’une grande partie de la ville était désormais à nouveau alimentée en électricité et que les communications téléphoniques étaient rétablies.

Quelque 3.000 secouristes continuaient mardi les recherches sur le site de la coulée de boue mais ne se faisaient plus d’illusions. Ce sera “difficile” de retrouver des personnes encore vivantes, confiait à l’AFP, sous couvert d’anonymat, un membre de la Protection civile.

De dramatiques scènes s’enchaînent. Nathalie Matos, 34 ans, indique aux pompiers la pièce remplie de boue où elle pense que sa mère disparue de 65 ans se trouve.

“Je sais qu’elle est là”, dit-elle. “Elle était seule (à la maison). Elle m’a appelée. Elle m’a dit: +Ma fille je me noie, l’eau est entrée, sortez-moi d’ici ! Sortez-moi ! Sortez-moi ! Sauvez-moi !”

“J’ai essayé de la rappeler, elle a répondu mais c’était du bruit…”, poursuit-elle.

Cinq pompiers tentent de déblayer la boue avec des pelles. “Le chien a fait des signes ici, dans cette zone de ce qui était le salon et la cuisine. Ca coïncide avec l’indication donnée”, explique un pompier.

Malgré les efforts, la recherche est vaine. “Je ne sais pas si je dois crier, je ne sais pas si je dois courir, je ne sais pas si je dois pleurer”, se désespère Nathalie Matos.

A quelques mètres de là, une autre équipe travaille sur le site d’une maison emportée par la rivière en crue. Les voisins ont essayé de reconstituer un plan de l’habitation pour aider les secouristes.

– “Guidé par l’odeur” –

“On est guidé par l’odeur (de décomposition des corps) et aujourd’hui on a senti cette odeur dans plusieurs maisons”, expliquait un pompier, également sous couvert d’anonymat.

Lundi en fin de journée, les secouristes se montraient déjà pessimistes. “Ca fait déjà deux jours et si elles (les victimes) ne sont pas mortes heurtées par des pierres et des branchages emportés par le courant, elles sont mortes d’hypothermie”, précisait un membre de la Protection civile.

Le Venezuela a connu une saison des pluies peu commune, qui s’est prolongée pratiquement toute l’année en raison du phénomène La Niña. Le mois de septembre a été un mois record en précipitations et ces derniers jours des pluies diluviennes, attribuées en partie au passage de l’ouragan Julia plus au nord, se sont abattues sur le pays. Ces trois dernières semaines, 13 personnes sont mortes ailleurs dans le pays en raison d’inondations ou de glissements de terrains.

A Las Tejerias, “il a plu en huit heures ce qu’il pleut en un mois”, a indiqué dimanche la vice-présidente.

La rivière, dont le niveau est monté de plus de six mètres, a tout emporté sur son passage: arbres, rochers, voitures, lampadaires, pylônes téléphoniques et des pans entiers de maisons, dont beaucoup étaient construites dans des zones à risques. La ville de 50.000 habitants déborde sur les flancs des montagnes.

Le glissement de terrain de Las Tejerias est la pire catastrophe naturelle du Venezuela depuis le début du siècle. En 1999, un important glissement de terrain dans l’Etat de Vargas, au nord du pays, avait tué quelque 10.000 personnes.

Les autorités ont mis en place des hébergements pour sinistrés à Maracay, capitale d’Aragua, l’Etat où se trouve Las Tejerias, et ont annoncé la distribution de 300 tonnes de nourriture. Des centres de collecte ont également été mis en place dans tout le pays pour recueillir les dons.

OPEN LETTER: To Sidelines From The Grave Of His Friend

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

OPEN LETTER TO SIDELINES FROM THE GRAVE OF HIS FRIEND.

If you are my friend as you state, how come with me just over one year since dead and you are embarrassing my sons and daring to degrade my ex wife with your personal grudges.

You are an old man, as my friend you have to be old, because I was old when I died, now, do you really think you are doing me a favour,  and protecting my sons by your constant ranting about Makeda, and suggesting they are waiting for her to die to grab the inheritance!

Clearly you too feel that she is wasting time with the property and should sell Antigua’s prize property to the Chinese or any foreign investor whom the Government sends to her, or for that matter sell her commitment to patriotism, but you all would not understand.

Clearly age has embittered you, old man you are defending the past when women were forced to accept rubbish from men. You should know because you obviously have been stalking her for a long time, she has been signing her own cheques for as long as you have been accepting yours, because you sound like a frustrated old man.

You need to wake up and smell the coffee, Makeda is a modern transformer who in raising sons  became the Dad when necessary and accepts no bs from any man, and that includes her sons, and obviously you too!

You sound so cut up and pained by the existence and flourishing of this woman, that one wonders what you are doing while crying on your iPad.

You clearly have an axe to grind, and swipe after swipe is not even making her wince, much less stop her from doing whatever has aroused you again!

If it is sex, you are both too old for that, and having lost your morning, even if she were to look at you, or have a conversation, it is unlikely you could arouse yourself to the occasion, or she for that matter.

If it is envy for her property, where were you when Stanford, Lester, Baldwin & now Gaston were all taking turns bludgeoning her and her sons in her business life, even though she refused to die?

You are a mean, bad minded man, whose opinion is twisted and not good for an old man, a Catholic you say, no wonder you mis-interpret life with self-hate and flagellation. Go to confession, admit your sins to the erotic ears of your priest!
