| Two Years On, Life Is Still On Hold For Rohingya Refugees
|
 "All we want is for our rights to be protected, equal to other people," Mohamed, a 27-year-old Rohingya man, told me as we sat in a crowded shelter in Kutupalong Camp in southeast Bangladesh. Kutupalong is the world's largest refugee camp, home to more than 600,000 Rohingya who fled ethnic cleansing in Myanmar's Rakhine State in August 2017. Mohamed has lived in refugee camps for his entire life. He was born in Bangladesh in 1992, soon after his parents fled an earlier wave of persecution in Myanmar. But at the age of 27, Mohamed is not recognised as a citizen in Myanmar and has no ...

| BBC News Presenter Is Caught On The Hop (Literally) As She Misses Cue During Live Bulletin
|
 We've all been late for work, so spare a thought for this BBC News presenter who was only late by a matter of seconds, but it was all caught on camera. During Friday night's main BBC News at 10 handover to the UK's regional bulletins, viewers in Wales were treated to the sight of their presenter being caught on the hop - literally - as she frantically ran to find her spot on camera. There was even a (hilarious) pregnant pause before she started reading the days stories from Wales. So near, yet so far. pic.twitter.com/YT8b7y8yn6 — Gary Taphouse (@garytaphouse) August 24, 2019 It's not the ...

| 'The Affair' Returns for Its Final Season — and to Drive Its Fans Nuts
|
 Paul Sarkis Fans of The Affair (hey everyone, here we go again!), will not want me to ruin what happens in the first three episodes of the fifth and final season of our favorite weirdo TV show, which starts tonight on Showtime. Only moderate spoilers follow, so just to warn you... The strange thing about The Affair, right from the beginning of its serpentine odyssey, is that it recedes in the long periods between seasons to a half-remembered fever dream. Then another season of this intense, ridiculous (we know it's ridiculous) delirium of a show rolls around. And we return to our TV screens, enslaved zombie addicts all of us. Come Sunday night, Affair non-fans living with Affair fans, do not disturb us. Ask us anything while it is on and be prepared for growls and furious stares. Go to another room, rearrange a sock drawer, leave us alone. Read more at The Daily Beast.

| Rapsody on Cardi B, Her Mentor Queen Latifah, and Defying Hip-Hop's 'Female Rapper' Stereotypes
|
 Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Rapsody knows what people think of her. The fluid, expressive emcee from the tiny town of Snow Hill, N.C. has become one of those artists people think they can conveniently pin down or put in a box. Her name gets tossed around whenever those interminable "female rapper" debates trend on Twitter. Her smooth delivery and introspective subject matter are signifiers for those who still stereotype "conscious rappers." And her love of Lauryn Hill and MC Lyte seem to affirm a "real hip-hop" aesthetic that old heads just seem to gush over. But like any great artist, Rapsody isn't beholden to anyone's narrow framing.

| Cops Are Digging Up This Child Killer's Burial Ground Again
|
 Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast Last Monday, residents in Macomb Township, Michigan, woke up to the sound of a helicopter and the sight of yellow police tape sectioning off a secluded wooded area near the Clinton River. Authorities initially would not say why they were digging on the parcel of land, but it was clear nonetheless: Convicted killer Arthur Ream buried 13-year-old Cindy Zarzycki there, and investigators have said they believe Ream is responsible for more child abductions and killings. By the end of last week, police were more forthcoming about their search. According to local media reports, a team led by the FBI unearthed several items that resembled clothing, though Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer told a radio station, "We haven't found any human remains yet."
