Australian comedian Sam Campbell has created a unique sitcom called Make That Movie, where he invites the public to share their unusual movie ideas.

He and his team then develop these ideas into real feature films within the framework of a reality TV show.

Each episode concludes with the film's premiere, showcasing the team's creative and often bizarre interpretations of the public's suggestions.

Campbell has been given creative freedom to turn his own ideas into reality, with the production company taking a hands-off approach.

Global oil prices are approaching a critical threshold that could lead to inflation, shortages, and recession.

The cost of a barrel of crude has fluctuated significantly since Iran responded to US and Israeli aggression by closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite appearances, the market is on the cusp of a 'non-linear adjustment', or chaos, due to several factors, including a record release of strategic oil reserves and rerouting of Gulf production.

However, the International Energy Agency warns that oil stocks are being depleted at an unprecedented rate, and several analysts predict that prices could surge to crisis levels, causing 'demand destruction' and economic damage.

Alberta's premier, Danielle Smith, has announced a referendum on the province's future, sparking concerns about potential economic instability.

The question, which asks whether Alberta should remain a province of Canada or separate, has been criticized for its confusing syntax.

This move is reminiscent of the UK's Brexit vote, where a poorly thought-out referendum led to significant economic and social repercussions.

Experts warn that a similar outcome in Alberta could have catastrophic consequences, particularly given the current tensions between the US and Canada.

A person who experienced bullying on a school bus as a child reveals how it affected their life choices.

They started a new school in a small village in Buckinghamshire after their family moved from Dorset.

The bullying began shortly after their fifth birthday and continued for some time.

The person recalls feeling confused and unsure of what was happening, which made it difficult for them to navigate the situation.

As they grew older, they worked hard to leave the intimidation of their childhood behind.

However, when they met the person they wanted to marry, those memories resurfaced and had a significant impact on their life.

The experience of being bullied has left a lasting impact on their life decisions and continues to affect them to this day.

Despite ailing economy and faltering war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin remains determined to press on.

Sources close to the Russian leader describe him as increasingly isolated, with his elite becoming disillusioned with his policies.

A business leader noted a shift in mood among the elites this year, citing 'profound disappointment' in Putin and a growing sense of a looming catastrophe.

Ten years have passed since a deadly Al-Qaida attack in Grand Bassam, a historic port town near Abidjan.

On March 13, 2016, three gunmen killed 19 people, including nine foreigners, in a 45-minute shooting spree.

The attack was claimed by Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb in retaliation for the arrest and extradition of its members to Mali.

In December 2022, an Abidjan court sentenced 11 men to death for their roles in the attack.

Today, the Ivory Coast defence minister emphasizes the strengthening of operational vigilance to prevent similar tragedies.

Meanwhile, the threat of jihadism persists in the north, along the borders with Mali and Burkina Faso, where French and American troops have been expelled in recent years.

A new strain of the Ebola virus has been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, prompting warnings from aid groups and healthcare workers.

The fragile healthcare system in the country is struggling to cope with the outbreak, which has seen nearly 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths recorded since April 24.

The virus is spreading rapidly, with experts citing cultural norms around burials and touch as contributing factors to its spread.

Aid groups are calling for coordinated international action to stem the outbreak.

The US has temporarily suspended the removal of refugees to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

This decision may not prevent the spread of the disease, according to experts.

A US judge had ordered the return of a 55-year-old woman, Adriana Zapata, who was deported to Kinshasa despite her complex medical needs.

However, American officials cannot bring her back due to the travel ban.

Immigration agents may be at risk of contracting the virus during removal trips, and the virus could spread closer to the US.

The decision is partly motivated by legal concerns, as removal to a third country with an active Ebola outbreak could be used in an immigrant's defense.
