But political factions have yet to reach consensus around such a plan - costing the government some of its highest-skilled workers.
Nearly six in 10 state employees are either leaving or planning to leave - a pace not seen since the country's 1975-90 civil war, said Moubayed.

Spencer Jones recalled: 'Word of Oasis "got out" and what should have been a closed and private shoot became a public one.

DENVER (AP) - Denver´s district attorney says she is opening a grand jury investigation into the actions of three police officers who wounded six bystanders while shooting at an armed suspect in a crowded downtown Denver nightlife zone last month.

'At one point I was finding it difficult to get near the camera; also by this time a lot of people including the band were beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol that they had been drinking during the day.' 

Archive (2020)













For a well-made, thoughtful sci-fi that makes sure not to let its meditations overtake entertainment value, Archive is a great shout. The British directorial debut from Gavin Rothery stars Theo James as a scientist working on making an AI as human as possible. His reasons are hidden, personal and sure to put a spanner in the works. Drawing comparisons to Ex Machina, Archive is assured storytelling with an astute focus on character.

"These are not numbers, these are the best people in the Lebanese state... People we need for the recovery, for implementation of any structural reform plan Lebanon will eventually undergo," Moubayed said.

The Vast of Night (2019)

Yekalo Weldehiwet, 26, was outside the bar after celebrating his fiance's brother's 23rd birthday when a bullet shattered a bone in his upper arm.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)













Remakes are rarely better than the original, but sometimes there comes a remarkable exception. The 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers builds on the already excellent 1956 sci-fi horror, telling the story of a health inspector and his colleague who realize the people of San Francisco are slowly being replaced by drone-like replicas. Creating a dread and paranoia-infused atmosphere, with Donald Sutherland in the lead, Invasion of the Body Snatchers has been hailed as one of the best sci-fis of all time.
