Согласно сообщениям, CNN объявила о своих планах по массовым увольнениям в компании. Эта новость была доставлена ​​сотрудникам в записке от генерального директора Марка Томпсона в четверг (23 января), в преддверии реструктуризации сети, чтобы быть лучше модернизированной для аудитории на цифровой основе. Это происходит через год после того, как сеть, которая принадлежит Warner Bros. Discovery, уже приняла раунд увольнений, ведущих к выходу 100 сотрудников. Это составило 2,9% из 3500 членов мировой рабочей силы в то время. «Я знаю, что независимо от общего числа потерь рабочих мест, влияние на вовлеченных людей может быть огромным», - написал Томпсон в записке. «Процесс изменений необходим, если мы будем процветать в будущем, но я оба признаю и сожалею о его реальных человеческих последствиях». CNN укладывает 200 человек, что представляет собой сокращение на 6% для своей рабочей силы. Увольнения не повлияют на более узнаваемые имена сети, так как они находятся по контракту. Бывший ведущий Fox News Крис Уоллес и Алисин Камарота, которые были видными деятелями на CNN, недавно ушли после истечения срока их контрактов. План реструктуризации включает в себя цель достижения дохода в 1 миллиард долларов к 2030 году. Часть этого плана состоит в том, чтобы нанять не менее 100 человек в ближайшие месяцы, чтобы построить более сильное цифровое присутствие, ориентированное на «новую высококачественную журналистику и рассказывание историй». Это также будет включать в себя работу по «цифровому продукту, ориентированному на образ жизни», в разработке CNN. Он впервые включает в себя компанию, которая впервые устанавливает цифровой платеж на свой веб -сайт для постоянно тяжелых пользователей, которые могут получить к нему доступ по ежемесячной цене $ 3,99. Одно откровенное мнение о движении было выражено президентом Дональдом Трампом, который упомянул его, избивая сеть MSNBC на своей платформе социальных сетей истины в среду вечером (22 января): «MSDNC еще хуже, чем CNN. Они даже не должны иметь права на трансляцию - только в Америке! »

This review was made possible by an advanced Star Trek: Section 31 screener. the all-new streaming movie event premieres on Paramount+ on January 24th  Transmission Start… Welcome to “Star Trek: Section 31.” This clandestine organisation, entrenched in the fabric of the Federation and its Starfleet, has sparked debates since its inception. First introduced in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” the concept of Section 31 was immediately polarising; the notion of a covert black ops agency seemed at odds with the optimistic principles of the United Federation of Planets. Despite this controversy, Section 31 has persisted, its legacy extending into the Kelvin Timeline of “Star Trek Into Darkness,” as well as delving into its historical roots in “Star Trek: Enterprise” and throughout “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Star Trek: Picard,” and even the animated series, “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” and now to “Star Trek’s” very first streaming film for Paramount+. Since its debut in the seminal episode “Inquisition,” Section 31 has ignited passionate discussions among Star Trek enthusiasts. While some value the ethical dilemmas presented by such a covert entity within the Federation, others argue that its very existence undermines the idealistic vision that has long characterised the Trek universe. This raises provocative questions: Can humanity genuinely take pride in the utopia imagined by Star Trek if it is underpinned by a secretive organisation with no accountability? Do extreme circumstances warrant extreme measures, and how far can we stray from our ideals before losing ourselves? “Section 31” engages with these complex themes directly. Director Olatunde Osunsanmi presents a narrative that neither glorifies nor vilifies Section 31 but rather seeks to understand its motives. While Starfleet upholds its distinct set of principles and aspirations, Section 31 operates in a realm where the end justifies the means, performing tasks that regular Starfleet protocols cannot accommodate. While we may expect the familiar trope of an assembled starship crew, this team diverges from the archetypal Starfleet officers. Instead, we encounter a group of spies and assassins, guided by a former tyrant, offering a stark contrast to the idealised teamwork we’ve come to know. So, I invite you to embark on this journey with me as we delve into my review of “Star Trek: Section 31”, where the exploration of morality meets the uncharted waters of responsibility. Here’s your black badge; now get ready for your debriefing…. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) In “Star Trek: Section 31,” the enigmatic Emperor Philippa Georgiou finds herself entangled with a clandestine arm of Starfleet dedicated to safeguarding the United Federation of Planets, ultimately confronting the shadows of her past. Operating outside the Federation’s jurisdiction, Georgiou now masquerades as the proprietor of The Baraam, a nightclub that exists beyond Federation oversight. The character, portrayed by the Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, first captivated audiences in “Star Trek: Discovery” as the esteemed Captain Philippa Georgiou, only to meet an untimely demise in the series’ pilot killed in action due to the outbreak of Season One’s Klingon-Federation war. However, she subsequently returned as a darker iteration from the Mirror Universe. This version reigns with both authority and menace as the Terran Emperor. After surviving a coup attempt, she was brought back with the DISCO crew at the behest of Michael Burnham and stranded in the prime timeline of the “Star Trek” franchise. The film is set in the franchise’s “lost era” between the Star Trek: The Original Series films, providing ample creative freedom to explore untold stories and rich character development within a familiar yet uncharted timeline. Georgiou has been enlisted by Alok (Omari Hardwick) and his Section 31 team for a high-stakes mission, where she is poised to become their most formidable operative. As she navigates her new existence, she must reconcile her past in the Terran Empire with the morally ambiguous demands of her current allegiance to a shadowy espionage organisation. Yeoh’s portrayal elevates the film, seamlessly transitioning between authoritative menace and subtle vulnerability as Georgiou navigates her new, morally ambiguous role within Section 31. Her character’s journey—from the heights of the Terran Empire to the shadows of espionage—offers a gripping exploration of identity and redemption. The visual tapestry of “Star Trek: Section 31” is woven with a rich narrative that delves deep into the enigmatic past of Emperor Philippa Georgiou through poignant flashbacks of her younger self, played brilliantly by Miku Martineau. These glimpses into the Mirror Universe showcase a young girl brutally torn from her home, and forced into a ruthless and unforgiving game of power. As the Terran Empire rises, we witness her transformation into the powerful and unyielding leader she would become – a true force to be reckoned with. Under the masterful direction, the film takes on a captivating samurai aesthetic, infusing the Star Trek universe with a new and compelling dynamic. The juxtaposition of Georgiou’s brutal rise to power in the Mirror Universe against her current morally complex struggles in the prime timeline creates a gripping narrative arc. As the film masterfully weaves these two disparate threads, it becomes clear that the true enemy was not the external forces that shaped her, but the very depths of her ambition – a thirst for power that now threatens to consume her. In this way, Georgiou’s story becomes a timeless allegory, echoing the ancient samurai code: “Fate may determine the sword, but it is us who must forge our own way with it.” This haunting phrase reverberates throughout the film, as Georgiou, now faced with the consequences of her past actions, must confront the darkness within herself. Michelle Yeoh’s commanding performance brings depth and nuance to the character’s complex journey, elevating the film into a true science fiction masterpiece. As the lines between loyalty, duty, and redemption blur, Georgiou’s struggle becomes a testament to the human condition, reminding us that even the most imposing figures must ultimately confront the demons of their own making. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE “Section 31” has undergone a remarkable transformation since its inception in 2017, initially conceived as a spin-off from the hit series “Star Trek: Discovery”. The brainchild of Michelle Yeoh, who brings Philippa Georgiou to life, the idea for Section 31 was born out of her desire to inspire young Asian women. After multiple iterations and substantial revisions, the final product differs significantly from its original vision but still culminates in a thrilling television movie event. This film marks a significant milestone in the franchise, delivering a high-stakes adventure that explores the formative years of the enigmatic former emperor of the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe while maintaining the trademark elements of Star Trek.”Section 31″ introduces a fresh dynamic, paving the way for the franchise to evolve in exciting new directions. The film masterfully expands the narrative landscape, creating a captivating and immersive experience that will resonate with fans. It truly felt like a bold step forward, diving into unexplored territory and offering a perspective I hadn’t seen before. I was particularly struck by the scale of the universe presented—from remarkably crafted sets to the intricate and vibrant costumes, the visual artistry is nothing short of breathtaking. The action sequences are exceptional and exhilarating, with a standout fight sequence reminiscent of “Dune,” showcasing Michelle Yeoh’s Georgiou phase shifting through walls, within the vibrant ambience of the nightclub. The filmmakers did an amazing job of creating a visually dynamic environment that perfectly complemented the high-stakes action unfolding within it bringing a sense of energy and tension. The choreography and stuntwork were most impressive, seamlessly blending fluid movements with the pulsating rhythm of the music. Each moment of combat serves as a powerful extension of her character, reflecting her influence as an executive producer. She has undoubtedly revitalised this emperor’s narrative, setting a high bar with her stunning performance. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) OUR MOTLEY CREW “Star Trek: Section 31” is where morality blurs and unconventional heroes emerge from the shadows This black ops team is a unique assemblage of characters, each with their distinctive quirks and complex backgrounds. Together, they navigate the murky waters of ethical dilemmas and high-stakes missions, proving that the line between right and wrong is often far from clear. First, we’re introduced to Fuzz, brought to life by the talented Sven Ruygrok, a character who is nothing short of a delightful whirlwind. Affectionately nicknamed “The Maniac,” Fuzz captivates with his exuberant personality, oscillating effortlessly between charming laughter and abrupt bursts of fury. While his playful demeanour may suggest a carefree spirit, there’s a more unpredictable edge beneath the surface—making it prudent to steer clear of any well-intentioned suggestions for anger management. His unpredictable nature is a refreshing twist, reminding us that he’s far from the stoic Vulcan archetype he initially appears to embody. In my opinion, Fuzz is a fascinating and entertaining addition to the team, injecting a sense of dynamism that keeps viewers engaged and eager to see what he will do next. Next, we have Melle, brought to life by Humberly González, a captivating Deltan known as “The Lover.” While her species is traditionally bound by an oath of celibacy, Melle boldly challenges these norms, using her potent allure to navigate the intricacies of her missions with finesse and flair. Her irresistible charm not only captivates those around her but also proves to be an invaluable asset to Section 31, as she creatively overturns expectations to achieve their objectives. This fresh perspective adds a vibrant dynamic to the crew’s interactions and strategies. Melle is a remarkable character who skillfully blends charisma with cunning, offering a unique and entertaining approach to overcoming obstacles in her path. Zeph, portrayed by Rob Kazinsky, is the group’s “muscle” who embodies the fascinating intersection of humanity and technology. Known as “The Machine,” Zeph is entirely integrated with his mechanical exoskeleton, a necessity brought on by a condition he describes as “Mechadysmorphia”. Once a gifted engineer who explored the frontiers of augmentation, a tragic injury left him reliant on his suit for mobility. However, what truly sets Zeph apart is his unyielding spirit; despite his circumstances, he radiates innocence and positivity, embracing his role within the team with infectious enthusiasm. Kazinsky’s Zeph is a standout character whose resilience and optimistic outlook not only enriched the narrative but also served as a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit, regardless of technological constraints. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) Quasi, is portrayed by Sam Richardson, the “master of disguise” known as “The Enigma.” This intriguing Chameloid is cloaked in mystery, with his true appearance remaining a well-guarded secret. Quasi’s disillusionment with the idea of a “utopian” society adds depth to his multifaceted character. As a brilliant mind in engineering and physics, he functions as the team’s second-in-command, navigating his role with a blend of intellect and apprehension—especially regarding Georgiou’s tumultuous history. I also appreciate how his character pays homage to Iman’s Martia from Star Trek VI, particularly with his captivating eyes. Quasi is a fascinating addition to the team, combining sharp wit and enigmatic charm, which keeps both his comrades and the audience on their toes as they wonder about his true nature and quest for truth. Rachel Garrett, portrayed by Kacey Rohl, navigates the intriguing complexities of Section 31 as the quintessential by-the-books Starfleet representative. A beloved character from Star Trek’s rich legacy, she originally appeared as Captain Rachel Garrett (played by Tricia O’Neil) in the iconic “Yesterday’s Enterprise” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Rachel expertly balances her dual allegiances, grappling with the inherent contradictions of both Starfleet’s principles and the shadowy ethics of Section 31. As the steadfast voice of reason in the group, she works diligently to ensure her team remains grounded amid the chaos. Rachel’s character adds an exciting layer of tension and depth to the series, making her a compelling figure who embodies the struggle between following one’s moral compass and the grey areas of strategic decision-making. Her journey promises to be a captivating exploration of loyalty and ethics in the Star Trek universe! Finally, we meet Alok, powerfully portrayed by Omari Hardwick as “The Mastermind.” With his sharp strategic mind and relentless quest for redemption, Alok adeptly guides this diverse crew through complex challenges. His mission to locate and enlist Emperor Philippa Georgiou serves as a pivotal element of the film, exploring the intricacies of morality. Alok’s character is a profound representation of the moral dilemmas faced in high-stakes situations, adding depth and intrigue to the storyline as viewers are invited to reflect on the true nature of righteousness and sacrifice. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) This nuanced characterization of each individual allows audiences to delve into the intricate layers of their identities, transforming the film into a captivating and intellectually stimulating experience that resonated with me,  well beyond its conclusion. The collaborative efforts of director Olatunde Osunsanmi and writers Craig Sweeny, Bo Yeon Kim, and Erika Lippoldt shine through in their ambition to craft engaging personalities around Yeoh’s character, Georgiou, largely achieving their goal. In a longer format, such as a television series, we might have the opportunity to fully explore the ensemble cast’s backstories as well as see more of the universe. However, the narrative primarily gravitates towards Georgiou’s backstory, her team’s galaxy-saving mission, as well as a redemptive arc that echoes themes from Yeoh’s journey alongside Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham in “Discovery”. While it effectively stands alone, it also establishes a renewed status quo for its characters, laying the groundwork I would hope for potential future narratives. In light of several recent endings in the Star Trek series, it’s plausible that Paramount views the “Section 31” feature as a barometer for audience interest in a more dynamic representation of Georgiou’s adventures. This preliminary offering proved to be a triumph, that left me eager for more. Even if a fully-fledged series isn’t forthcoming, this could very well herald a promising new chapter of entertaining Star Trek content in the streaming landscape. (Jan Thijs/Paramount+) FINAL THOUGHTS In conclusion, “Star Trek: Section 31” stands as a remarkable entry point for newcomers to the franchise while delighting long-time fans with its savvy nods and easter eggs to the broader Star Trek canon. With its deft blend of humour and intrigue, this film adeptly navigates the shadowy realms of the Star Trek universe, reminiscent of the pulse-pounding excitement of “Mission: Impossible”,  the charming whimsy found in “Guardians of the Galaxy”, and the chaotic, irreverent tone showcased in “Suicide Squad” as it blends a crew of flawed characters allowing camaraderie to thrive amidst their morally ambiguous mission. The unexpected juxtaposition of exhilarating action and introspective moments offers a refreshing perspective on familiar characters, particularly Georgiou’s complex psyche. While it occasionally scratches the surface of deeper narratives, one can’t help but envision the vast storytelling potential that could emerge from a longer format. That said, “Section 31” is undeniably an engaging thrill ride that not only entertains but also charts a promising new direction for Star Trek’s future. It dares to entertain while laying the groundwork for a richer exploration of its characters and themes, ensuring that whether you’re a devoted Trekkie or exploring the stars for the first time, you’ll find ample reason to be captivated. The movie debuts Friday, January 24 on Paramount+, and February 7 on SkyShowtime in Europe.
