Aquaman fans are threatening to boycott the film unless Amber Heard is removed from it.
At the time of writing, the petition has generated more than 1,800,000 signatures.

Warner Bros.

Off the back of the recent new promotion of the next Aquaman movie, people are threatening to boycott the film as Heard returns to her role.

One person tweeted, 'If Amber Heard is in this film, you can bet I won't be seeing it. You can't just f*ck up an innocent man's life with your power as a woman and get away with it.'

Another person wrote, 'The directors really think everyone's hyped for Aquaman 2 when Amber Heard is still in it,' while a third Twitter-user said, 'All I have to say about #Aquaman is that, no matter how good looking Jason looks, I will never touch a movie with Amber Heard in it. She's gotten away with FAR too much.'

Addressing Aquaman 's new suit, which debuted on social media yesterday, someone else said, 'Nice Aquaman Suit.. But Still Not seeing the movie til Amber heard is Fired with no pay & Blacklisted from Hollywood.'

Meanwhile, someone else branded DC's decision to keep Heard in the movie as a 'disastrous decision'.

Again, DC chosing to keep Amber Heard is a disastrous move. Look at all the comments. Everytime Aquaman 2 is mentioned, people ONLY talk about her. DC doesnt even have to recast, just delete her character from the movie completely to save this franchise that started so well!

An Afghan doctor and humanitarian whose life's work was upended by the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is warning that his homeland could become a hive of human rights abuses following President Biden's much-criticized withdrawal of U.S. forces.

"It was not a wise decision to leave a nation in a very, very hard situation," Dr. Wais Aria told Fox News Friday. "People deserve to have their civil rights. The women deserve to have their rights."

Aria and his family were beaten by the Taliban on multiple attempts to reach Kabul's airport before the final U.S. plane left. After spending days waiting outside the perimeter, they finally got in and are now safely in Virginia, where they've lived since 2017.
US AMBASSADOR ACCUSES BLINKEN OF LEAVING HUNDREDS OF AFGHAN WOMEN BEHIDN TO DIE IN BOTCHED EVACUATION

But the Taliban swept across the country, conquering most of it as the U.S.-backed Afghan government and military collapsed in real time, leaving millions of Afghans at the mercy of the radical Islamist group that once allowed al Qaeda terrorists to plot 9/11.

Biden's botched withdrawal has prompted a storm of criticism from all sides - and some experts have asked why it went down without better planning or the involvement of United Nations peacekeepers to maintain order. The Taliban took control of Kabul and set up checkpoints outside the airport where U.S. forces were racing to evacuate tens of thousands of people ahead of Biden's Aug. 31 deadline.

Then a suicide bomber killed 13 American service members and dozens of Afghan civilians at a gate to the facility.
THESE ARE THE US SERVICE MEMBERS KILLED IN THE KABUL AIRPORT ATTACK
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Fox News' Jennifer Griffin Saturday that he believes the crisis in Afghanistan could result in a civil war and that terror groups like al Qaeda could once again take root - 20 years after the U.S. invaded in response to the 9/11 attacks.

"In my belief, it is not [the] ending of war in Afghanistan for the United States," Aria said. "The United States should be alert for this."

He's very concerned about the safety of his relatives who remain in Afghanistan, and for the country's people as a whole under Taliban rule.

UN PEACEKEEPERS COULD HAVE HELPED MAINTAIN AFGHANISTAN STABILITY AFTER US WITHDRAWAL, FORMER MINISTER SAYS
And he hinted that propping up the Afghan government - whose president fled the country just before the Taliban seized Kabul - was the wrong move.

In June 2020, the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction had warned that "systemic" corruption in the now-defunct Afghan government undermined its own public support. And activists in Kabul had accused the government of squandering billions in international aid money that could have helped stabilize the country.

In the interview with Griffin, Gen. Milley reiterated those concerns, saying it was a lack of faith in the government from Afghan citizens that helped the Taliban seize control.

"One of the fundamental issues I think clearly is the corruption in the government...the government itself not having the legitimacy in the eyes of the people," Milley said. "You saw what happened at the end. The senior government elites, they all just literally bugged out."

The government is gone. The Taliban have taken control, and Aria is worried about everyday Afghans, who he referred to as Afghan nation, left behind. He issued a plea for the U.S. and other countries to monitor the Taliban's treatment of civilians going forward.

"Afghan nation deserves to have their basic human rights," he said. "Please, please be beside Afghan nation."

Aria is a medical doctor and human rights activist who founded a large nonprofit that treated trauma survivors, primarily children, and women who suffered through terror, war, or domestic abuse. He also worked to rehabilitate child soldiers.

He hopes to continue such work here in the U.S. to help Afghan refugees find their place in American society.

ritish holidaymakers arriving at Spain's Malaga Airport faced chaotic scenes on Sunday night as their sunshine breaks began with endless queues and a passenger revolt.

Angry Spaniards were filmed shouting "Fuera fuera" - "Get Out Get Out" in English - amid reports passengers had knocked down barriers to leave the arrivals area as astonished travellers from the UK looked on.

Witnesses claimed on Monday that frustrated travellers had taken matters "into their own hands" after being forced to wait "forever" to be waived through by police and other officials checking passenger locator forms.

Jim Ramsden, one of the Britons who posted footage of the chaos on social media, said in response to questions about claims it was exuberant teenagers returning home from a trip away: "It was arrivals at 11.30pm last night and it was all nationalities who just got fed up standing in a queue that wasn't moving."

Traveller Mejulie Traynor, who was also in the queue, added: "I was there too but I behaved myself and queued for an hour."

Another Briton caught up in the late-night chaos branded the scenes "crazy."

The noise levels appeared to catch many Britons by surprise.

One was overheard muttering under his breath as he watched the passenger revolt: "They've given up waiting haven't they? People are just going for it.

"Shall we join them? Am I going to get shot by a Spanish policeman if I do."

Several officials appeared to be trying to restore order by blowing their whistles amid the tourist surge at the airport, one of Spain's busiest passenger airports at this time of the year.

Another witness, Rachel O'Shea tweeted a video of the long queues, writing in a sarcastic message along the footage: "Welcome to Covid screening @MalagaAirport" before adding: "Minutes later people knocked down the barriers. Absolute carnage."

Spaniards could be overheard shouting, in reference to the complete lack of social distancing: "There's no Covid here is there!" and "Shame on you" in an apparent rage at officials processing the health forms.

There was no immediate comment from airport chiefs.

The chaos came on the back of ongoing problems at London's Heathrow Airport.

Malaga Airport, officially Malaga-Costa del Sol airport since June 2011, is the gateway to the popular Brit sunshine getaway of the Costa del Sol which is also home to hundreds of thousands of British expats.

It is the fourth biggest airport in Spain after Madrid-Barajas, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca.

Lil Uzi Vert's $24 million pink diamond forehead implant has been through a lot. After its debut in February, the rapper had to remove the 11 carat accessory due to bleeding. "I could die, no seriously," he said, in a now-deleted tweet about the gem.

Now - since reinstalling the piece in July - Uzi has revealed that fans tore out the diamond while he was crowd surfing during his set at Miami's Rolling Loud Festival.

Speaking to a cameraman, he explained: "I had a show at Rolling Loud and I jumped into the crowd and they kind of ripped it out." Continuing, Uzi stated that the diamond was still in his possession, although he shared no further plans to reinstall the piece.

Originally, the rapper embedded the accessory so that he could have "a lot of M's in (his) face". Very necessary!

"I've been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now," he tweeted in January, referring to the New York-based jeweller Elliot Eliantte, which produced the piece. "This one stone cost so much I've been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond."

Later - taking to IGTV to explain the gem's placement - Uzi noted that he originally wanted to put the stone in a ring, but didn't want to lose it. "I'm Lil Uzi. I'm turnt up," he said. "So $24 million on a ring is the stupidest idea because I'm gonna look down and that ring ain't gon' be there... I know me. I wake up in odd places and different sceneries."

Since then, the rapper has teased another extravagant purchase, sharing his plans on Twitter to purchase planet WASP-127b, which would allegedly make him "the first person to legally own a planet". Although Grimes ( who originally leaked the news) seemed enthusiastic about the purchase, scientists stated that Uzi's plans were seemingly impossible.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Yale astronomy professor Gregory Laughlin explained that "no legal ownership framework or regulated Earth-based exchange currently exists for the purchase of exoplanetary assets". Guess we'll have to wait for Uzi's next weird purchase then.
