#COMEY
On his annual Q&A phonein show, Russian president Vladimir Putin was pressed on recent US matters, including sanctions and the firing of FBI Director James Comey. @Mollymckew said: “Putin doing his annual Q&A with reporters today. So far all questions on domestic affairs and the natives getting restless.” @opendemocracyru tweeted: “Putin compares #Comey to Snowden. Offers Comey possible asylum. A not-so-subtle dig at institutional crisis under Trump.” @Laurawalkerkc added: “Putin just offered James Comey political asylum. Now imagine them standing next to each other. LOL.” @katiedavies91 said: “A farmer in the audience tells #Putin sanctions are “a gift,” creating thousands of jobs. He asks if Putin will expand anti-west sanctions.”
#ROAMINGCHARGES
New rules governing mobile data across the EU have come into force, meaning EU member states will no longer charge mobile phone users for using their devices abroad. However, it is uncertain what this will mean for British users after Brexit. @Marossefcovic tweeted: “Your children won’t know why #roaming fees ever existed in Europe. But for us, this is a great step forward towards a #Digitalsinglemarket.” @Alynsmithmep said: “Mobile roaming charges abolished working together through EU, for Brexit Britain now a point for negotiations or we’ll lose it.” @Hewbass posted: “The regulatory burden goes UP by leaving the EU. Most exporters have EU customers, will continue to operate under EU regs/law.” @moseywosey tweeted: “The end of roaming charges is a gradual global trend.”
#WONDERWOMAN
One of the most memorable scenes in box office hit Wonder Woman sees the Amazing Amazon cross No Man’s Land. Cinematographer Matt Jensen reflected on the sequence in an interview. His comments sparked a wave of reaction. @Megkmccabe tweeted: “*Wakes up immediately from a deep sleep and sits up in bed* I can’t believe the No Man’s Land scene from Wonder Woman was almost cut!” @afro_ninja_pwns added, enigmatically: “The No Man’s Land scene in Wonder Woman changed my life.”
