Actor Christian Oliver, Known for Valkyrie, and His Two Daughters Tragically Perish in Caribbean Plane Crash

The entertainment industry is mourning the loss of Christian Oliver, celebrated for his roles in films such as Speed Racer and Valkyrie, along with his two daughters, who lost their lives in a tragic plane crash off the coast of a Caribbean island. The devastating incident occurred as the single-engine aircraft, owned and piloted by Robert Sachs, crashed en route to St Lucia after departing from J.F. Mitchell Airport in Bequia, a small island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Christian Oliver, 51, and his daughters, Madita (12) and Annik (10), were among the four individuals who perished in the crash. The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force released a statement noting that the plane encountered difficulties shortly after takeoff, leading to a nosedive into the ocean. Local fishermen and divers promptly rushed to the scene to offer assistance.

All four bodies have been recovered, though the investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Initial reports suggest that the pilot radioed the tower after takeoff, indicating problems and an intention to return. Regrettably, this was the final communication from the ill-fated aircraft.

Christian Oliver had recently completed filming the concluding scenes of his latest project, "Forever Hold Your Peace," directed by Nick Lyon and featuring co-star Bai Ling. Lyon took to Instagram to express his grief, remembering Oliver as a great colleague, actor, and friend.

The late actor, born in Germany, had notable collaborations with Steven Soderbergh in "The Good German," alongside Cate Blanchett and George Clooney. Additionally, he worked with Brian Singer and Tom Cruise in "Valkyrie" and the Wachowskis in "Speed Racer" in 2008. Oliver's television credits included "Saved By the Bell: The New Class," and his most recent film appearance was in "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."

As the entertainment community mourns the loss of a talented actor and his two young daughters, tributes continue to pour in, with colleagues and friends remembering Christian Oliver's contributions to the industry and cherishing the moments shared on and off-screen.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
