The Cannes festival unexpectedly awarded an Honorary Palme d’Or to John Travolta this Friday just before the screening of his directorial debut, Propeller One-way Night Coach (Come Fly with Me). “I can’t believe it, you told me it would be a special night but I didn’t imagine it would be this,” the Hollywood star said visibly emotional and surprised to the Cannes general delegate, Thierry Frémaux, who was in charge of presenting the award. “The movies I have liked the most in my life have always been the Palme d’Or winners.

Like a mischievous child who paints all the walls of the house with a black marker, Keir Starmer has told his parents (in this case the House of Commons) that he did it unintentionally and does not deserve punishment. When he informed Parliament that due procedure had been followed and all necessary security measures had been taken in relation to Peter Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to Washington, he actually did not know that the security services had flagged him with a red flag.
Queen Victoria, seven days through the western Mediterranean in July, 777 euros; Sun Princess, eight days through the eastern Mediterranean with Italy in July, 737 euros (903 if it is an outside cabin); Celebrity Xcel, eight days through France and the Italian Riviera in July, 731 euros and the possible promotion of up to 600 euros as a gift to spend onboard.

It is the result of the indirect impact that international geopolitical instability is causing in the cruise sector, where, rather than a drop in bookings, what has been prompted is a change in tourist flows and commercial strategies by the shipping companies.
