Outrage Over Casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy in the “Odyssey”

May 16 2026

—

The film, which appears to prioritize Hollywood’s diversity mandates over the historical and literary context of the Homeric epics, received over €6 million ($6.9 million) in Greek state funding. According to Star Channel’s editor-in-chief, Ilias Papanikolaou, Nolan will collect upwards of €6.5 million ($7.5 million) in taxpayer money for what Papanikolaou describes as a “falsification” of a global literary treasure.

This backlash mirrors the international outcry surrounding the 2023 Netflix docudrama Queen Cleopatra in which the depiction of the Greek queen of Egypt as Black sparked legal threats in Egypt and accusations of“historical revisionism.”Critics argue that like the Cleopatra case, Nolan’s casting ignores the Hellenistic roots of these historical and mythological figures.

The controversy comes as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences implements its 2024 representation and inclusion standards. These criteria require films to feature actors from underrepresented groups, including those of African descent, to be eligible for Best Picture nominations.

Large-scale fire breaks out at Ryazan refinery after nighttime drone attack

15 May 2026, Friday, 14:56

The Ryazan Oil Refinery has a design capacity of over 17 million tons of crude oil per year.

Explosions began around 2 a.m.; residents reported hearing between 8 and 10 blasts in total.

A fire on the refinery grounds could significantly impact the occupiers’ logistical capabilities.

On the night of May 15, the russian city of Ryazan came under a massive drone attack, which sparked a large-scale fire at a local oil refinery. This has been reported by monitoring channels and eyewitnesses.

Explosions began around 2 a.m., and residents reported hearing between 8 and 10 powerful strikes in various parts of the city. Numerous videos circulating online show bright flashes in the sky, the sounds of drones flying overhead, and the activation of air defense systems, which were unable to prevent the strikes.

The Ryazan Oil Refinery, one of the largest facilities in the industry in russia, was hit. According to available information, the plant’s design capacity exceeds 17 million tons of oil per year, accounting for about 5% of the aggressor country’s total oil refining capacity.

Following a series of explosions, a column of thick smoke rose above the plant’s grounds, and the fire engulfed a significant portion of the production facilities.

Local residents continue to report heavy smoke spreading throughout the city. Currently, there is no official information on the extent of damage to the processing equipment, but the scale of the fire indicates serious consequences for the plant’s operations.

While repelling the air raid, russian air defense, likely the "Pantsir" air defense system, struck a residential high-rise in Ryazan, resulting in civilian casualties. The moment of the strike on the building and the aftermath were captured on video.

The Ryazan Oil Refinery is a strategic facility, as it supplies a significant portion of fuel for the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

US Secretary of State Official Weighs In on Canadian University DEI Complaint

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/us-under-secretary-of-state-comments-on-canadian-university-dei-related-human-rights-complaint-6025950

U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers has again spoken out on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in Canada, this time commenting on a tribunal ruling that found views opposing “systemic racism” theories are not grounded in political or legal principles.

The decision involves a Simon Fraser University political science professor who was denied a job because he did not support DEI.

The B.C. human rights tribunal decided against holding a hearing on the issue last month. Adjudicator Devyn Cousineau said in her April 15 ruling that the educator had no reasonable likelihood of proving that he was denied the position because of his political views, because opposition to DEI did not constitute a political stance under the law.

Rogers posted a portion of the tribunal’s decision on social media to accompany her comments on the case.

“The court’s reasoning here is that if you reject ‘systemic racism’ theories, and resulting DEI prescriptions, your views bear no apparent relation to politics or law,” she said in a May 13 post. “Thus, those views are unprotected in Canada.”

Rogers last year also criticized a report by UK-based Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which labelled “digital denialism” of Canadian residential schools as an example of “hate speech” that harms democracy. Continue…

RCMP Says Mexican Cartels Not Major Players in Canadian Drug Production After US Officials Raise Concerns

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/rcmp-says-mexican-cartels-lack-major-role-in-canadian-drug-production-after-us-officials-raise-concerns-6025981

Mexican cartels do not have a “significant” presence in synthetic drug production in Canada, the RCMP said in reaction to concerns among top U.S. law enforcement officials that the cartels are moving operations to Canada to produce and distribute fentanyl.

Available intelligence indicates Mexican cartels “do not have a significant or controlling presence in Canada’s synthetic drug production landscape,” an RCMP spokesperson told The Epoch Times.

“We recognize that our U.S. counterparts are taking significant steps to disrupt serious and organized crime operations, including cartels, in several countries, and we are committed to continuing to work with them to that end; thereby safeguarding the citizens of both our countries,” a spokesperson for the RCMP said in a May 14 emailed statement.

“Organized crime groups seek to increase profit however possible, and new trends continue to emerge as long as demand exists. Our shared goal is ensuring that these organized crime groups do not expand their operations and gain a foothold within Canada.”

The remarks come after Terry Cole, head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and FBI Director Kash Patel told a U.S. Senate Committee on May 12 of their organizations’ efforts to disrupt new drug production facilities in Canada, in addition to working to prevent source countries like China and India from shipping narcotics ingredients to North America.

US Law Enforcement Charges 13 in Connection With Gun Trafficking Into Canada

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/us-law-enforcement-charges-13-in-connection-with-gun-trafficking-into-canada-6026091

The United States has charged 13 people for trafficking firearms from New Hampshire into Canada in a law enforcement operation that traced guns to Canadian crime scenes.

“This tracking network allegedly exploited border geography and reservation corridors to move firearms into Canada while attempting to avoid law enforcement detection,” said U.S. Attorney for New Hampshire Erin Creegan at a news conference in Concord, N.H. on Thursday.

Court documents said members of the Akwesasne reservation in New York travelled to Vermont, where they enlisted Justin Jackson to purchase firearms on their behalf.

The documents allege that since Jackson was prohibited from purchasing firearms, he got Melissa Longe, Dustin Tuttle, Caleb Wilcott and Doug Mulligan to buy guns from licensed dealers in New Hampshire—a scheme known as “straw” purchasing.

“The allegations paint a troubling picture of how straw purchasing fuels violent criminal networks across the northeast and into Canada,” Creegan said.

The firearm trafficking began in 2021 and ran until at least 2024, the documents said. Continue…

Man Pleads Guilty to Role in Smuggling Indian Migrants From Canada Into US

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/man-pleads-guilty-to-role-in-smuggling-indian-migrants-from-canada-into-us-6025785

American officials say a man from India has pleaded guilty to his role in smuggling Indian migrants into the United States from Canada.

The U.S. Justice Department says in a news release that Shivam Lnu was charged earlier this year with smuggling a dozen people across the border.

It says that according to court documents, Lnu directed operations beginning from at least October 2024 to June 2025 to smuggle people into New York state.

The Justice Department says his role was to co-ordinate drivers to pick up migrants and take them to stash houses around northern New York and to hotels in Plattsburgh, about 100 kilometres south of Montreal.

It says that in January 2025, U.S. Border Patrol found a total of 12 migrants in two vehicles that tried to flee from agents.

Justice officials say the 22-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit alien smuggling and three counts of alien smuggling for financial gain, and faces up to 15 years in prison.

He is set to be sentenced Sept. 4.

Court Recognizes Intimate Partner Violence as Legal Basis for Damages

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/court-recognizes-intimate-partner-violence-as-legal-basis-for-damages-6025782

The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized intimate partner violence as a distinct legal basis for pursuing civil damages.

The top court’s ruling today comes in the case of a woman who suffered years of physical and emotional abuse by her husband during a 16-year marriage.

The court says intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving the full attention of the law.

It says the existing torts of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress fail to remedy the specific wrong to dignity, autonomy and equality that intimate partner violence creates.

The judgment says this form of violence is not limited to physical or psychological abuse, but includes all abusive behaviour by one intimate partner to coerce and control the other, effectively depriving them of their autonomy.

It says this could involve egregious acts of physical and psychological violence, as well as tactics of isolation, manipulation, humiliation, surveillance, economic abuse, sexual coercion and intimidation.
