Saprei riconoscere a prima vista un romanzo di Thomas Mann, dagli zigomi.

Sundance film festival: two teenage girls find their friendship put to the test in a witty and charmingly odd British comedy If you know, you know that first best friendship is a world unto itself – lush, rugged and expansive, nutritive and intoxicating, vulnerable to freak changes in the weather. Its specific terrain stays invisible to outsiders; only the two within it know, and they themselves are likely to lose it in time. So goes the perilous trekking in Extra Geography, Molly Manners’ nimble and frequently funny debut film, which astutely maps the peaks and valleys of one charged friendship between two adolescent girls at an English boarding school. Minna and Flic, played by remarkable newcomers Galaxie Clear (coming for Chase Infiniti’s name game) and Marni Duggan, begin year 10 sometime in the early 2000s, in a sunny meadow of boundless, heady entanglement. They move in playful unison, share beds and mannerisms, hold common goals (Oxbridge) and disdain (for boys, and those who covet them). Manners, a Bafta nominee for her work on the better-than-it-should-be Netflix series One Day, is particularly attuned to the energizing rhythm of platonic-ish intimacy; the first third of this brisk, 94-minute film is a mesmerizing symphony of female mind-meld, the girls slamming lockers, opening notebooks, flopping on the floor and hatching plans to a swift, synchronous beat.

At least 15 injured in Russian strikes, as talks continue between Ukraine, Russia and the US in Abu Dhabi. What we know on day 1,431 Russia sent a delegation led by GRU military intelligence chief, Adm Igor Kostyukov, to day one of the peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US, in Abu Dhabi on Friday, indicating a focus on military rather than political negotiations. It has also repeated its demand that Ukraine leave Donbas before the talks start. The talks will resume on Saturday. The talks are the highest-level known summit between the three countries since the beginning of the war, and come as Ukraine faces a harsh winter with much of its civilian energy infrastructure damaged by Russia. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the three sides were meeting at “negotiator level” – in a format for the first time “in a long time”. The talks come after a seventh meeting between Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Vladimir Putin in Moscow, where the main topics of discussion were Russia’s demands for territory and Ukraine’s security guarantees. Witkoff was accompanied in Moscow by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Josh Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service. Russian strikes injured at least 15 people in Ukraine’s capital and the north-eastern city of Kharkiv overnight, authorities said early on Saturday. The country was under an air raid alert with military authorities in the capital warning of the threat of drones and ballistic missiles. “Kyiv is under a massive enemy attack. Do not leave shelters!” the city’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said on Telegram. “Four wounded in the capital. Three of them were hospitalised,” he said. The mayor of Kharkiv reported an attack by Iranian-made Shahed drones that wounded more than 11 people and damaged several residential buildings in two districts of the city near the Russian border. Ukraine’s energy situation “significantly” worsened on Friday after recent Russian air attacks, triggering emergency power outages in most regions, Kyiv’s grid operator said. Moscow has increased airstrikes in recent weeks, further damaging battered infrastructure and leaving large numbers of residents without power and heating during a subzero cold snap. CEO of Ukraine’s top private energy firm, Maxim Timchenko, said the situation was “close to a humanitarian catastrophe” and that any peace deal between Russia and Ukraine must include a halt to attacks on energy infrastructure. Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni said on Friday she hoped Donald Trump would end the conflict in Ukraine so she could nominate him for the Nobel peace prize. “I trust that if he makes a difference … in achieving a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, for Ukraine too … finally, we too could nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel peace prize,” she told a press conference. Italy has been invited to join Trump’s “board of peace” however, Italy’s constitutional rules do not allow the country to join an organisation led by a single foreign leader, according to media reports. Russia has begun using a new model of high-speed drone against Ukraine amid claims by Kyiv’s military intelligence directorate that key parts are sourced from western and Chinese companies. Wreckage recovered from a so-called Geran-5 long-range attack drone that was fired at Ukraine in early January points to a series of new capabilities that experts believe could pose a serious threat to Ukraine’s already struggling air defence if deployed widely. The increasing speed of Russian attack drones has been cited by members of Ukraine’s small-fire mobile air defence teams as an increasing challenge as the window of time to shoot them down gets smaller. Russia “deliberately” wants to deprive Ukrainians of energy to break their spirit, but “will fail”, according to EU commissioner for preparedness and crisis management Hadja Lahbib. The European Commission is deploying 447 emergency generators from EU reserves to Ukraine. “The EU will not let Russia freeze Ukraine into submission and will continue helping Ukrainians get through this winter,” said Lahbib.

The departure of pandas will leave legions of Japanese admirers bereft, but it is also symptomatic of a dramatic deterioration in China-Japan relations The panda house at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo is not due to open for several hours, but visitors are already milling around its entrance, pausing to pose for photographs in front of murals of the facility’s most beloved residents. A short walk away the gift shop is doing a roaring trade in themed souvenirs – from cuddly toys and stationery to T-shirts and biscuits. The visitors are here to say goodbye to Xiao Xiao and Lei Lei. Early next week, the twin pandas, born at the zoo in 2021 but technically on loan from China, will be flown out of Tokyo’s Narita airport to China, where they will undergo quarantine and be reunited with their sister, Xiang Xiang, at a conservation and research centre in Sichuan province.
