Syria, December 13, 2017. ![]() Video of Month in Focus: March 2016 Special on Syria MSF and the Syrian Crisis After five and a half years of intense conflict, the situation in Syria keeps deteriorating, with ever-increasing unmet needs and suffering. It is estimated that 4.8 million people have fled the country, and another 6.5 million people are internally displaced (source: OCHA). This represents nearly 50 percent of the total population. The “humanitarian system” is failing in Syria. Assistance, including access to food and medical supplies, remains appallingly insufficient. The pervasive daily reality for many people in Syria is one of fear, deprivation, and a struggle to survive. In many parts of the country access to medical care is dire due to a crumbling health system. Many hospitals face critical supply shortages, and there are ever-diminishing numbers of health workers, as medics have fled or been killed. From the beginning of the conflict medical staff and medical facilities have been targeted. Even those people who manage to flee the front lines or besieged areas and reach the border find it increasingly difficult or even impossible to seek refuge abroad. Border restrictions and closures force people to return to the places in Syria they fled, or to camp out in the desert with no facilities or resources, at risk of violence, disease, and hunger. This is the case, for example, in the “berm,” where 75,000 Syrians are stranded between the Syrian and Jordanian borders. The Bombing of Hospitals Since the siege began in east Aleppo city in July 2016, functioning hospitals have been damaged in over 35 separate attacks. Some hospitals have been hit multiple times and have been forced to close as a result. Most recently, multiple hospitals were hit by airstrikes from November 16, 2016, onwards, one day after airstrikes were relaunched on the opposition-held area of the city. Some hospitals came under attack more than once. Among those hit and taken out of service were a children’s hospital, two key hospitals specializing in surgery, and the largest general hospital. The pediatric hospital that was hit was the only specialized hospital for children in the besieged area. Hospital staff managed to move children, including premature babies, from cots and incubators to the basement of the building to shelter from the bombing. Both hospitals that were hit are supported by MSF, among other organizations. Outside east Aleppo, hospitals supported by MSF have also been hit by bombing or shelling. MSF Projects in Syria Aleppo Governorate For information on the situation in east Aleppo city, where people are suffering the consequences of the siege and the ceaseless targeted and indiscriminate bombing, see the latest MSF updates. In Azaz District, MSF runs a 32-bed hospital (Al Salamah Hospital) which has an emergency room and also offers a wide range of services including outpatient and inpatient consultations, surgical care, and maternity and additional support services (pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, etc). In addition, MSF teams can refer patients to other structures in Azaz District or in Turkey if they cannot be treated in the MSF hospital. The number of internally displaced people in the area has significantly increased since last year, and this had led to a 45 percent increase in the number of consultations and admissions to our hospital. Between January and August 2016, staff at the Al Salamah Hospital undertook 33,000 outpatient consultations, 1,765 inpatient consultations, 19,506 emergency room consultations, and 1,214 surgical interventions. During the first few months of the year, MSF assisted new internally displaced people arriving in Azaz District, both in formal camps and informal provisional settlements. Non-food items and hygiene kits were distributed to 4,345 families (26,070 people) and tents were handed out to 1,330 families. A water and sanitation program was also implemented to improve living conditions in one of the informal settlements east of Azaz town. In June, MSF launched a vaccination support program, with the objective of implementing regular vaccination activities in the northern districts of Aleppo Governorate targeting pregnant women and children under five. Ein Al Arab/Kobane In this area of northern Syria, MSF has worked alongside the local health administration since March 2015 to re-establish basic health facilities, provide outpatient health services, re-establish vaccination services, and implement psychological support programs throughout the area. Up until July 2016, there had been more than 50,000 outpatient consultations, over 8,000 emergency room consultations, and almost 2,000 inpatient admissions in MSF-supported structures in the area. With shifting front lines and an offensive on Menbij by an armed group named the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF; coalition of different groups in Syria), the number of civilians fleeing their home towards the areas surrounding the Euphrates River increased. Both internally displaced Syrians and the host communities are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. MSF scaled up its support to local health authorities in the region, and following an outbreak of measles supported the implementation of a ring vaccination campaign in the area east of the Euphrates River in northeastern Aleppo Governorate. Over 2,780 children were rapidly vaccinated against measles in communities that were suffering from the consequences of war and ground offensives. Local health response teams simultaneously conducted an emergency food distribution and screened all children who passed through the vaccination campaign for acute malnutrition. The 30-bed MSF supported hospital was bombed, leaving the local population of 40,000 without access to medical services. Idlib Governorate In Atmeh, in northwest Syria, close to the Bab al Hawa border, MSF runs a 15-bed burns hospital staffed by Syrian nationals and supported by an international team based in southern Turkey. The facility began as a trauma center in 2012 but, as needs for specialized burn treatment were identified, it shifted its focus towards this service. Burn patients can receive surgery, skin grafts, and have their dressings changed, and benefit from physiotherapy. The facility also treats emergency cases in its emergency room. Mental health support and outpatient consultations are also provided. In addition, MSF administers vaccines, and undertakes health education and disease surveillance activities in 180 camps hosting around 165,000 internally displaced people around Atmeh. A referral system has also been put in place by MSF to transfer patients in need of more specialized treatment to Turkey. In the first half of 2016, the MSF team in Atmeh burn hospital saw over 6,000 patients in the emergency room, and performed more than 630 major surgeries. During the same period, more than 250 patients were admitted to the inpatient department, and around 240 were transferred to Turkey for further treatment. In the camps for internally displaced people, MSF teams provided more than 81,500 doses of vaccines to children under three. Hasakah Governorate In addition to the devastation caused by more than five years of war, the general situation in northeast Syria has deteriorated even further due to regular military confrontations between various armed groups, aggravated by more recent tensions with neighboring countries. Although the border with Iraq has been closed to people crossing since March 2016, movement of populations and goods is allowed intermittently. While the region has not experienced the scale of the conflict seen in other areas in Syria, there are significant medical and humanitarian needs. Since 2013, MSF teams have been offering primary healthcare services through two primary health centres and a maternity clinic, with a particular focus on mother and child care, and chronic diseases. These services are available to both internally displaced people and the host community. From January 1 to June 30, 2016, MSF teams provided over 24,500 general consultations, including 11,700 for chronic diseases, 4,304 for children under the age of five, and more than 3,200 reproductive health consultations. The teams also assisted an average of 170 deliveries each month. MSF is currently working on opening two additional primary health centers in the governorate. Remote Support to Medical Facilities Nationwide Since 2011, MSF has been supporting a growing number of medical structures in some of the most conflict-affected areas of Syria, and in areas where MSF does not have direct access to patients. A particular emphasis has been placed on supporting facilities situated in areas under siege. MSF runs programs of active regular support to 70 medical structures, which vary from small rural health posts to full hospitals in urban areas. The supported structures are located throughout much of the country, including in the governorates of Deraa, Hama, Homs, Idlib, and rural Rif Damascus. Developed in close collaboration with Syrian medical networks, and mostly run from neighboring countries, the support projects run by MSF consist of donations of essential medical equipment and relief materials, distance training for staff inside Syria, support for ambulance services, as well as financial support to cover the facilities' running costs. MSF support is tailored based on needs and on the capacity of other agencies to support the health facilities inside Syria. As such, some facilities rely solely on MSF support, while others receive partial support from other agencies (either international or local). Support levels range from almost 100 percent MSF-supported through to 50 or 60 percent MSF-supported. A further 80 facilities are supported in an ad hoc manner based on specific requests from the facilities, such as emergency donations of medical supplies provided at times of acute need, for example mass casualty influxes. MSF's medical support program has increasingly focused on besieged areas, where the medical situation is particularly dire. Many of these medical facilities have come under such consistent bombardment or shelling that their infrastructure has been catastrophically degraded. Over the past five years many medical staff have been killed or wounded, leaving a chronic shortage of well-trained personnel. The very few humanitarian convoys that have been allowed into some of these areas often have essential medical items removed before reaching their destination, further reducing the medical services that can be offered to these communities. And when patients are severely wounded or sick and need care that cannot be provided in the besieged areas, medical evacuations to properly equipped hospitals are usually denied—even the few medical evacuations that are permitted can take days or weeks to negotiate and organize. East Aleppo City and Remote Support MSF regularly provided drugs and supplies, including lifesaving surgical kits and medical equipment, to eight hospitals, six health centers, and three first-aid points in east Aleppo city since 2014. Additional provisions were also sent in times of emergency, when numbers of wounded or severely ill suddenly increased. MSF has also provided medical and logistical equipment to the hospitals to restart activities after airstrikes. Prior to the consolidation of the siege in July 2016, MSF was able to send regular, three-month supplies of medical provisions (equivalent to 10 full trucks) to all supported health structures in east Aleppo. In late August 2016, MSF was able to deliver one last shipment of approximately 100 tons of much-needed medical supplies, after a temporary passage into east Aleppo was opened by opposition groups. MSF has been unable to deliver medical supplies since, due to the siege. The temporary ceasefire collapsed in late September, and the bombing intensified, resulting in a significant increase in the number of wounded. Civilian infrastructure was not spared, including health care facilities. From November onward, access to health care in east Aleppo had become almost non-existent for the population in need. According to the medical networks that MSF supports, from September 23 to November 24, more than 4,350 people were wounded in east Aleppo, including over 510 children. It is reported that more than 1,060 people have died, including at least 150 children. These are overwhelming numbers for a two-month period and are likely an underestimate, as some families bury their dead immediately rather than bringing the bodies to hospital morgues. In the 10 days between November 15 and 24 the number of wounded people reached over 1,500, demonstrating yet again the sheer intensity of the bombings, and the impossible lifesaving task faced by east Aleppo doctors. In December, the Syrian army and allied forces took control of most parts of east Aleppo city after an advance by air and ground forces. Thousands of residents fled from northern areas of east Aleppo city. On December 23, the Syrian government announced it had taken full control of Aleppo city, which had been divided between the opposition and the government since 2012. MSF in Neighboring Countries Jordan Jordan is host to around 629,000 registered refugees, and a roughly equal number are estimated to be living in the country unregistered. Access to free health care for refugees living outside the camps in Jordan was stopped in October 2014, creating further difficulties. To support the health burden created by these large numbers, MSF has established a number of health projects where teams undertake surgical interventions, treat non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and provide maternal, child health, and mental health services. Amman The reconstructive surgery project in Amman was established in 2006 to offer orthopedic, maxillofacial, and plastic surgery, as well as physiotherapy and psychosocial support to victims of violence in the region. As the conflict in neighboring Syria escalated, the number of Syrian patients increased and more than 50 percent of the patients in the hospital are currently Syrian. In August 2015, project moved into a newly renovated structure. The move is intended to improve the quality of the medical services offered to patients. Since it opened nine years ago, the hospital has admitted more than 3,700 people and teams have conducted 8,238 surgeries. Al Ramtha For the last three years, the emergency surgical program inside the Al Ramtha government hospital has been offering lifesaving trauma surgery for patients injured in the Syrian conflict. Just five kilometers from the Syrian border, the project has seen more than 2,400 Syrian war-wounded patients arrive at its emergency room. Around 75 percent of patients were suffering from polytrauma resulting from blast injuries. Around 90 percent of all war-wounded patients who come across the border from Syria are initially seen in the MSF project in Al Ramtha. Following the closure of the Jordan and Syria border due to a car bomb attack in an area referred to as 'the Berm' in June 2016, only two war-wounded Syrians have arrived at the emergency room. Turkey hosts more than a million refugees who fled the conflict in Syria. MSF was authorized in June 2015 to work with refugees from the Syrian crisis. In Kilis, a town on the southern border with Syria, the number of refugees (107,000) is higher than that of the host population (90,000). From January to August 2015, MSF provided counseling to 2,075 people and performed 22,860 outpatient department consultations. In Sanliurfa Province, MSF works in partnership with two Turkish NGOs to provide ongoing mental health services and responded to refugee influxes from Kobane and Tal Abyad with food and hygiene kit distributions, along with water and sanitation infrastructure in camps. Salwah Mekrsh was shot by a sniper in Aleppo and now she can't walk. As a refugee in Kilis, Turkey, she is receiving psychological support from MSF. In March 2016, MSF opened a private NCD clinic in Ramtha city, providing care to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians. Currently, 1,500 patients are under treatment: around 75 percent are Syrian and 25 percent Jordanian. The main diseases treated are hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The clinic also offers mental health services for NCD patients, and home-based care. Health promotion activities are carried out by MSF community health workers. Turra, Sahel Houran, Ramtha In September 2016, MSF started offering free primary health care to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in the comprehensive primary health care center in Turra, Sahel Houran, Ramtha. There are outpatient services, maternal health services such as ante- and postnatal care, and mental health services. Health education is also undertaken. Zaatari Refugee Camp MSF has a 40-bed post-operative care facility in Zaatari refugee camp, which offers post-injury treatment as well as mental health activities and physical therapy sessions. In July 2016, MSF opened a new child-friendly space within the project as part of the mental health activities provided to Syrian war-wounded children in collaboration with other international organisations. Between January and July 2016, over 620 patients received medical treatment at the facility and over 690 psychosocial support sessions were conducted. After the Jordanian government closed its northwestern border with Syria on June 21, 2016, the number of war-wounded has decreased significantly as they are being denied access to Jordan. Should the situation at the borders remain unchanged, MSF fears that its ongoing programs in Jordan which address the medical needs of war-wounded Syrians could be forced to close. Irbid Following assessments in 2013, MSF established a maternal and child health project in Irbid, close to the border with Syria. The area is home to tens of thousands of Syrian refugees living outside the refugee camps, and these people have difficulty accessing the care they need. Needs for maternal and child care increased at the end of 2014, when Jordanian authorities announced that all Syrian refugees, whether registered or not, would have to pay for Ministry of Health services. In the first quarter of 2015, the project was upgraded to be able to manage complicated deliveries and provide Caesarean sections. An intensive care unit was also established. MSF also has two clinics in Irbid Governorate treating Syrians and vulnerable Jordanians who suffer from NCDs. The first clinic, operated in partnership with the Jordanian Ministry of Health, opened in December 2014 and the second, run with the Arabian Medical Relief Society, a local NGO, opened in April 2015. In August 2015, MSF launched the home visit program—10 kilometer radius from the town center—to reach patients who can't access the two clinics due to medical conditions and/or a disability. The majority of patients in both clinics are treated for hypertension, diabetes, and asthma. By the end of July 2016, there were 4,540 patients under treatment in the two clinics. MSF also offers psychosocial support and counseling. The Berm: the Syrian–Jordan Border More than 75,000 Syrians are stranded between Syria and Jordan in the northeast of the country. MSF operated a mobile health clinic offering primary health care in the berm/Rukban area for 23 days starting on May 16, 2016. Services were provided in trucks, and prioritized children under five as well as pregnant women. MSF also managed referrals in collaboration with the Royal Medical Services and conducted over 3,500 consultations (more than 200 malnourished children, 10 severely; 500 pregnant women; one baby delivered; three successful emergency medical referrals). After the car bomb attack on the Jordanian border base on June 21, 2016, access to the border was stopped and humanitarian assistance was not provided beyond limited access to water and food. As of November 23, UN agencies were allowed to resume their humanitarian aid to the berm. MSF welcomes the resumption of aid and hopes that it will continue to be provided in a regular and sustained manner. However, we are questioning medical aid delivery through the current set-up in the area, as the triage of medical cases should be carried out or overseen by qualified medical professionals. To this end, MSF continues to negotiate for direct access to Syrians at the berm, and reaffirms/reiterates that provision of independent quality medical care should be provided inside the berm. 'I see the MSF Reconstructive Surgery Project as a very unique project. Its mission goes beyond the physical care of war victims as it aims to improve the quality of their lives as much as possible. This project provides a comprehensive package of psychological care and rehabilitation, allowing the patients to reintegrate into their societies after their treatment. Moving into a new hospital is a significant step in the life of this project. It will facilitate MSF’s mission to improve the quality of the medical services, which we will provide to patients in the coming years. This new facility will also open new horizons, allowing us to add new surgical specialties, not to mention the possibility to develop a healthy work environment and improve our disinfection policies.” —Dr. Rasheed Fakhri, Surgical Coordinator. Young patients play together at the Amman Hospital. Lebanon Registration Problems and Deterrence The situation in Lebanon remains highly volatile. The presence of over 1.4 million Syrian refugees is putting considerable strain on public services and is exacerbating tensions in the country. Since December 2014, measures put in place by the government (such as costly visa requirements for Syrian refugees) have reduced the number of newcomers or registered Syrians in Lebanon, who now represent approximately 30 percent of the Lebanese population. As of May 6, 2015, the UNHCR suspended new registrations of refugees in Lebanon, in line with a request by the Lebanese government. Accordingly, individuals awaiting registration are no longer included in the official figures for refugees in Lebanon. Moreover, the costly measures put in place by the Lebanese government for the renewal of documents for refugees deter Syrian refugees from doing so. Therefore, the number of non-documented refuges in Lebanon has increased. Humanitarian Situation Living conditions are precarious, with increasing numbers of refugees residing in informal tented settlements and unsuitable shelters. The main health concerns are access to primary and secondary health care, safe deliveries, mental health, and access to chronic disease medications. Increase in MSF Medical Activities for Refugees In 2015, MSF provided 305,150 primary health care consultations for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, compared to 194,427 for the whole of 2014 and 96,320 for the whole of 2013. Between January 1 and June 30, 2016, MSF provided 170,000 primary health care consultations in its clinics across Lebanon. Bekaa Valley In the Bekaa Valley, where the majority of refugees have settled, MSF began providing primary health care in March 2012. This continues today and includes treatment of acute illness and chronic diseases and a comprehensive reproductive health package, through four clinics in Hermel, Arsal, Baalbek, and Majdal Anjar. These services are provided for Syrian refugees irrespective of registration, as well as for vulnerable Lebanese. In addition to the reproductive health package offered in the four clinics, mental health support as well as health promotion services are also offered. MSF runs sessions specifically for women and girls, where they can consult a female doctor and/or midwife, as well as women-only sessions where women-specific health issues are discussed. In February 2016, MSF opened its third mother and child center in Majdal Anjar, in central Bekaa, just a few kilometers away from the Syrian border. The center is open 24/7, and teams assist uncomplicated deliveries. The center's services are available to more than 15,000 women who otherwise have no access to free and safe delivery. The North and Akkar Governorates The north of Lebanon also hosts a large number of Syrians (252,450 people; UNHCR, October 2016). MSF runs five primary health care centers in the region, offering free health services to Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese in Akkar and Tripoli governorates. MSF services include providing treatment for acute cases, chronic diseases, a comprehensive reproductive health package, mental health counseling, and vaccinations, in addition to health promotion activities. In Tripoli, MSF has worked in Dar al-Zahraa Hospital since February 2012, providing basic health care, treatment for chronic diseases, reproductive health care, and vaccinations for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese. MSF has also been working in Al-Zahraa dispensary in Jabal Mohsen district since November 2012, and Al-Dawa dispensary in Bab al-Tabbaneh district since April 2013, providing primary health care, including treatment for acute diseases, vaccinations, and reproductive health. In Jabal Mohsen, MSF provides support during outbreaks of violence to stabilize patients before they are transferred to hospital. In Akkar Governorate in April 2015, MSF opened another primary health care clinic in Abde, north of Tripoli. The clinic provides primary health care, including care for acute conditions and NCDs, as well as sexual and reproductive health care. It also offers mental health and health promotion activities, as well as vaccinations. In September 2016, MSF opened a health center in Wadi Khaled offering treatment for NCDs and mental health counseling. Palestinian Refugees from Syria Before the war began, Syria was home to approximately 500,000 Palestinian refugees, some of whom were born and raised in the country. Palestinian refugee camps inside Syria, including in Aleppo, Daraa, and the Yarmouk camp in south Damascus, have come under attack and siege, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries. By April 2014 over 3,070 Palestinians from Syria had registered in Lebanon with UNRWA and 13,836 had sought support from UNRWA in Jordan. Since June 2013, primary health care consultations have been provided at Human Call Hospital in Ein-al-Helweh camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. It is currently home to around 100,000 people. In the Shatila Palestinian refugee camp, which is only 4 kilometers away from downtown Beirut, over 30,000 refugees (Syrians, Palestinians, Palestinians from Syria, and minorities) live in deplorable conditions. Since September 2013, to deal with the increasing health needs in the south Beirut area, MSF has been running a primary health center and a women's health center in Shatila. The project is intended primarily for Syrian refugees, but is open to Palestinians who have fled from Syria and other vulnerable communities living in south Beirut. The focus is on unregistered refugees who are not eligible for official assistance, or for registered refugees with emergency surgical needs that fall outside the UNHCR's shortlist of eligible injuries. The maternity unit provides care during pregnancy and simple delivery, with referrals for complicated deliveries to surrounding hospitals. Moreover, the newly expanded primary health clinic deals with postnatal care, pediatrics, and chronic diseases for adults and children. Mental health consultations are also provided in both facilities and more than 6,500 patients are seen in total at both centers each month. In Burj al-Barajneh refugee camp, also located in the southern suburbs of Beirut, MSF is expanding its work by opening a new health center to provide sexual and reproductive health services, including the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, mental health, and also to provide health promotion activities for the local population. In May 2016, the MSF health center in Burj al-Barajneh launched a home-based care program for patients with chronic diseases who suffer from mobility problems. A post-operative care facility in Zaarari refugee camp provides physical therapy and mental health activities. Iraq The Kurdish Region hosts the vast majority of the 251,499 Syrian refugees currently in Iraq (UNHCR, July 2015), but with the current turmoil in the country the burden on the region is increasingly high. In light of the overwhelming crisis, some international humanitarian organisations are scaling down their assistance to Syrian refugees in the country. Over the past year, the spread of violence across Iraq has led some Syrian refugees to return to Syria while tens of thousands of Iraqi nationals crossed into Syria in August 2014 before crossing back into safer areas of Iraq. Domiz The population in Domiz refugee camp (Dohuk Governorate) has significantly reduced over the past year due to large movements of people. Today, the camp's population is estimated to be around 38,392 (UNCHR, October 2016). From May 2012 to October 2015, MSF was the main provider of health services to Syrian refugees in Domiz camp, including primary health care, sexual and reproductive health care, care for chronic diseases, and mental health assistance. Since August 2014, MSF has been running a maternity unit inside the camp, and today MSF teams focus on providing sexual and reproductive healthcare through this unit. Teams assist an average of 85 deliveries per month and ensure the referral of complicated cases to Dohuk Hospital. In October, after three years of activities, MSF teams handed over the general health care and mental health consultations to the local authorities. The treatment of patients with chronic diseases was handed over in June 2016 to the Department of Health. Erbil MSF provides mental health services in two refugee camps in Erbil Governorate—Kawargosk camp and Darashakran camp. WASHINGTON — President Trump said Thursday night that the United States had carried out a missile strike in in response to the Syrian government’s chemical weapons attack this week, which killed more than 80 civilians. “Tonight, I ordered a targeted military strike on the air base in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched,” Mr. Trump said in remarks at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “It is in this vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.” Mr. Trump — who was accompanied by senior advisers, including Stephen K. Bannon, his chief strategist; Reince Priebus, his chief of staff; his daughter Ivanka Trump; and others — said his decision had been prompted in part by what he called the failures by the world community to respond effectively to the Syrian civil war. “Years of previous attempts at changing Assad’s behavior have all failed, and failed very dramatically,” the president said, referring to President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. “As a result, the refugee crisis continues to deepen, and the region continues to destabilize, threatening the United States and its allies.”. Peskov said the strike did nothing to combat international terrorism. “On the contrary, this creates a serious obstacle for building of an international coalition to fight it and to effectively resist this universal evil,” he said. Fighting terrorism was Mr. Putin’s stated goal when he dispatched the Russian military to Syria in September 2015, though its main effect has been to shore up Mr. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Russian forces had been notified in advance of the strike. “Military planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield,” he said. No Russian aircraft were at the base, military officials said. “We are assessing the results of the strike,” Captain Davis added. “Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat airfield, reducing the Syrian government’s ability to deliver chemical weapons.”. The cruise missiles struck the airfield beginning around 8:40 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, and the strikes continued for three to four minutes. According to Captain Davis, the missiles were fired from the destroyers Porter and Ross in the eastern Mediterranean. Talal Barazi, the governor of Homs Province, where the base sits, told Reuters early Friday that ambulances and fire trucks were scrambling to respond to fires there. Administration officials described the strikes Mr. Trump ordered as a graphic message to the world that the president was no longer willing to stand idly by as Mr. Assad used horrific weapons in his country’s long civil war. To do otherwise, they said, would be to essentially bless the use of chemical weapons by Mr. Assad and others who might use them. “The more we fail to respond to the use of these weapons, the more we begin to normalize their use,” Mr. Tillerson said, a thinly veiled reference to President Barack Obama’s decision to refrain from strikes in 2013. Tillerson added that the United States had not informed Mr. Putin about the coming missile strikes and that Mr. Trump had not spoken with the Russian leader in the hours afterward. The decision to act came with a swiftness that took observers of the new president by surprise. After being briefed on the chemical attack shortly after it occurred, American intelligence agencies and their allies worked quickly to confirm the source of the chemical weapons, administration officials said. In Washington the next day, the president convened a meeting of senior members of his National Security Council, where military aides presented him with three options. Officials said Mr. Trump peppered them with questions and directed them to focus on two of those options. On Thursday, after Mr. Trump traveled to Florida for his dinner with President Xi Jinping of China, he convened what officials described as a “decision meeting” with his top national security aides — many of them with him at Mar-a-Lago, and others on secure video screens from Washington. After what aides called a “meeting of considerable length,” Mr. Trump authorized the missile strikes before starting the dinner with Mr. “It was important during the president’s deliberations,” said H. McMaster, the president’s national security adviser, to weigh the risk of action against the “risk of this continued, egregious, inhumane attacks on innocent civilians with chemical weapons.”. Advertisement A military official said the attack was at the more limited end of the military options presented to Mr. Trump on Thursday by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. The official said the strike was intended to send a signal to Mr. Assad about the United States’ intention to use military force if he continues to use chemical weapons. It was the first time the White House had ordered military action against forces loyal to Mr. McMaster said the missile strikes would not eliminate Mr. Assad’s ability to use chemical weapons, but would degrade it. He said the United States military had specifically sought to avoid hitting what it believes is a facility containing more sarin gas at the airfield. He said the military had also sought to “minimize risk” to citizens of other countries — specifically Russians — who might have been in the area at the time.

The United States launched a missile attack Thursday night in response to the Syrian government’s use of such weapons on civilians. Credit Omar Haj Kadour/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images The Pentagon on Thursday night released a graphic showing the flight track of Syrian aircraft as they left the Shayrat field on Tuesday and carried out the chemical attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib Province. The speed with which the Trump administration responded — and remarks earlier in the day by American officials who said that options were still being considered — appeared intended to maximize the element of surprise, and contrasted sharply with the Obama administration’s methodical scrutiny of a military response. Trump’s most important order so far for the use of force — virtually all of his administration’s other operations in Syria, Yemen and Iraq have been carried out under authorization delegated to his commanders — and appeared intended to send a message to North Korea, Iran and other potential adversaries that the new commander in chief was prepared to act, sometimes on short notice. Two Republican senators, John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, praised the strike in a statement and called for Mr. Trump to go further: to “take Assad’s air force — which is responsible not just for the latest chemical weapons attack, but countless atrocities against the Syrian people — completely out of the fight.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel also expressed support. Tillerson is scheduled to arrive in Moscow on Tuesday. Administration officials said the strike was intended to put Mr. Tillerson in a position to tell the Russians that they should use their leverage to ensure that Mr. Assad’s government does not carry out more chemical weapon strikes and to facilitate a diplomatic resolution to the civil war in Syria. The events of Thursday night marked a dramatic turnabout for Mr. Trump, who until this week had displayed virtually no interest in a deeper role for the United States in the long, bloody conflict. Well before he became a presidential candidate, Mr. Trump pleaded with Mr. Obama in 2013 to avoid the kind of strike that he has now ordered. Advertisement As recently as this week, before seeing images of dying children gasping for breath during the chemical attack, Mr. Trump and his top aides hardly appeared inclined to more forcefully assert American power in the country. But the change seemed to emerge during Wednesday afternoon, as Mr. Trump reacted to news, and images, of the attack with horror and a newfound desire to respond. In less than 24 hours, his shift was reflected at the Pentagon, where senior Defense Department and military officials began drafting options for Mr. Trump, and in Florida, where Mr. Tillerson hinted at a strong response to Mr. Assad’s actions. In remarks late Thursday evening to a small group of reporters, recorded and quickly broadcast to the world, Mr. Trump announced his decision. “We ask for God’s wisdom as we face the challenge of our very troubled world,” Mr. Trump said solemnly. “We pray for the lives of the wounded and for the souls of those who passed. And we hope as long as America stands for justice, then peace and harmony will in the end prevail.”.

Jul 3, 2017 - A poor family unravels during one traumatic night in 'Shuttle Life.' The big winner at the Asian New Talent Awards, starring Sylvia Chang and Jack Tan. From Heat Celeb News via IFTTT. The sun-dried raw Ren Shen is called Sheng Sai Shen. It is combined with Ge Jie or Hu Tao Ren respectively in Ren Shen Ge. Such as Sheng Di Huang, Tian Hua Fen. Ah Qiang lives in the big city and struggles to take care of his mentally unstable mother and his 5-year-old sister, Hui. When a speeding car kills Hui in an accident. A poor family unravels during one traumatic night in the big winner at the Asian New Talent Awards, starring Sylvia Chang and Jack Tan. She’s a seamstress living in a remote world of her own, and the tenderness of Qiang and Hui Shan as they try to coax her into taking her medicine is a touching intro to their extremely difficult but caring family life. As if things weren’t dramatic enough, on his sister's sixth birthday, Qiang and his buddies, who live on the edge of the law working at odd jobs and stealing car parts, take her motorcycle riding. After an accident, Qiang wakes up in the hospital. There is no sign of Hui Shan, who seems to have vanished into thin air. The rest of the film is a merciless trip through hell, and young Tan makes the audience part of his anguished, hopeless odyssey searching for Hui Shan while he tries to control his hair-trigger emotions and keep his mother safely at home. He wages an uphill battle against bureaucracy at the hospital, drug store and police station, where his poverty and lack of influence translate into helplessness. ![]() Tan Seng Kiat holds the directing reins rock-steady, never compromising on the stressful horror of the boy’s situation. Only a few scenes appear tacked on, like the bulldozing of a shanty town that has no narrative connection to the story, and the glaringly obvious class gap when Qiang and his pals are taken to a swanky rich man's party. For a story that works best when it's most believable, these late scenes of class resentment feel pushed way too far. ![]() But the ending is subtle and controlled; apparently open, but not when you think about it. And you do think about this film. Production companies: More Entertainment, Golden Wheel Trading, Hershlag, Harmonics Cast: Jack Tan, Sylvia Chang, Angel Chan Director: Tan Seng Kiat Screenwriters: Tan Seng-Kiat, Chris Leong Siew Hong Producers: Roland Lee, Jin Ong Director of photography: Chen Ko Chin Production designer: Lim Chik Fong Music: Onn San Editors: Chen Hsiao Tung, Yue Ba Ren Zi Venue: Shanghai Film Festival (Asia New Talent competition) Sales: MM2 Entertainment 90 minutes. It may not boast blockbuster elements but a Malaysian film about a family living on hard times in Pudu has caught the attention of international movie critics, nabbing several accolades in the Asian New Talent portion of the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) in June this year. Shuttle Life (Fen Bei Ren Sheng), which stars Malaysian singer-actor Jack Tan and Taiwanese stalwart Sylvia Chang, and is directed by Tan Seng Kiat, won Best Film, Best Actor and Best Cinematographer, losing only Best Director from its four nominations. Made on a budget of RM1.5mil by MM2 Entertainment, it is a hard-hitting social drama with a realistic setting and character portrayal. It is also Seng Kiat’s first feature film, having directed a few short films in the past. He wrote the screenplay some years ago and entered it for the Shanghai Projects Promotion in 2013, which went on to win the grand prize award. After spending more than one-and-a-half years rewriting it, filming commenced in May 2016. For Jack, 26, acting in the movie was a huge challenge as the director has very specific requirements. “Most of the characters that I played in the past were ‘packaged’ nicely. I just needed to look cool and smart,” remarks Jack, who is one-half of the singing duo Thomas Jack. “But not so for my character Ah Qiang in Shuttle Life. He is a regular guy who just happens to come from a poor family.”. Shuttle Life is the second collaboration between Seng Kiat (left) and Jack He says Seng Kiat is very different from the directors he has worked before although this was the second time they have worked together after the short film, The Gathering. “At first, our styles seemed to clash. I had already memorised the script earlier but on the set, it was not what he wanted. He wanted something more natural from me.” “I know my way of directing is quite peculiar and Jack was not used to it,” admits Seng Kiat. “What I was looking for was that the actor not to act a role but rather internalise the character. I wanted him to search from within himself something that he could relate to his character. ![]() We spent a lot of time discussing the role. It was only much later that we went back to the script.” Jack adds that in the end, he saw what Seng Kiang was getting. “Every day, we were building rapport. Soon I became very engrossed in the role. I became anti-social and wasn’t interacting with others because I needed to be focused on the character. Even my assistant became fearful of me!” he laughs. “He thought I’ve changed suddenly. Seng Kiang really pushed me to another level as an actor.” For his hard work, he earns a pat on the head from the director who says that his acting was organic and realistic. This was probably the reason Jack won the Best Actor award but he was modest enough to say that it was because it was a good role. True grit Shuttle Life was filmed almost entirely on location in Pudu. It zooms in on a poor single-parent family living in a low-cost apartment that keeps experiencing water supply disruption. The water crisis is just one of many problems faced by 19-year-old Qiang. He has to take care of a mother (played by Chang) who is mentally ill, and a much younger sister, Hui Shan (played by newcomer Angel Chan). Things take a turn for the worse when, on Hui Shan’s sixth birthday, she and Qiang meet with a road accident. She dies but Qiang is unable to claim her body because he cannot prove their familial relationship. “I chose Pudu because it is a place with history,” says Seng Kiat. “Even today, many people are still living in their old homes with their families.” Jack admits that he felt overwhelmed when he knew he was going to work with Chang, herself an award-winning actress and director. Chang filmed all her scenes in one week. “She was brilliant and had no airs. There was a lot of interactions between mother and son in the movie, hence we had a lot of scenes together. I’m so glad to have had the opportunity to learn from her,” he gushes. Seng Kiat is equally complimentary of Chang. “She contributed a lot and brought to her performance many unexpected things from her experience as an actress, director and scriptwriter,” he notes. “She really knows her stuff. She understood the characters very well and would always find ways to improve her performance. In fact, she would improvise certain scenes to add more impact.” He cites the time when they were shooting a scene where Jack went home to look for his sister’s birth cert. In the script, Chang was supposed to be cowering in a corner and then grabs at what Jack was holding in his hands. “But on filming day, she was looking and playing with a pair of scissors and told us she would use them. So during filming, she suddenly attacked Jack with them. Caught unaware, Jack reacted by pushing her away, only to get a slap from her! We didn’t anticipate this and Jack was genuinely afraid. But they made the scene so much more effective.” In its review of Shuttle Life, The Hollywood Reporter praised Seng Kiat for “his rock-steady directing, never compromising on the stressful horror of the boy’s situation.” The critic also complimented Jack “for making the audience part of his anguished, hopeless odyssey searching for Hui Shan while he tries to control his hair-trigger emotions and keep his mother safely at home.” Jack says acting has taught him new skills and expanded his horizon as an entertainer. He also expresses his gratitude for this experience with Shuttle Life. “I don’t know if I’ll ever have an opportunity like this again,” he sighs. Was Seng Kiat disappointed in losing Best Director? It was more important that the audience liked the film. I never even thought that it would win Best Film so that was icing on the cake! I just wanted to a good job.” When it comes to filmmaking, Seng Kiat only has one rule: “You have to fall in love with the movie that you’re making first; only then will you protect it and do your best for it.” ‘Shuttle Life’ opens in cinemas nationwide on Oct 12.

Bazat pe cartea jurnalistei Shrabani Basu, Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant. “Victoria and Abdul” este o poveste remarcabila, un film istoric care eu una consider ca este genial. Din punctul meu de vedere, “Victoria si Abdul” este o comedie iesita din comun, mult mai buna decat multe alte filme de comedie vazute pana acum. Filmul prezinta o frumoasa poveste despre prietenia neobisnuita dintre regina Angliei, Victoria ( Judi Dench) si Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal) care este un om simplu, musulman ce provine dintr-o familie de oameni saraci si fara carte. Abdul primeste misiunea de a pleca in Anglia si a lua parte la Jubileul de Aur al reginei. Acesta o captiveaza pe regina din prima clipa cu sarmul sau aparte, cu “ imprudenta” de care da dovada in fata reginei, astfel ca intre cei doi se leaga o prietenie stransa. Curand, Abdul devine “ munshi” pentru regina, adica dascal, invatand-o limba, precum si cultura sa, spre disperarea oamenilor de la curte. Acestia sunt absolut socati de deciziile reginei, care hotaraste sa-si petreaca timpul langa noul sau prieten. Regina Victoria incepe sa nesocoteasca sfaturile oamenilor sai si sa-i puna “la punct” (doar este regina si are puterea de a lua decizii), ba mai mult incepe sa traiasca prin povestile lui Abdul. Membrii curtii insa nu se lasa asa usor si incep sa faca tot ce le sta in putinta sa distruga aceasta legatura neobisnuita dintre cei doi.

When her former employer, a cosmetics shop, goes bust, Hanna simply helps herself to boxes full of perfume. As life and politics change around her, principally the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification, Hanna battles on through the new job at the petrol station, the steady advances from Knuti (Steffen Scheumann), right through to a trip to Turkey until she meets the great love of her life. But Gansar (Birol Uenel) is not a free man. Hannas desperation leads to a very public scene and personal tragedy. Except, this is Hanna we are talking about. So she does what only she can. She picks herself up again, and.|. In the beginning, there is stress: How annoying the cadrage is., how breathless the editing. Of course you notice that the camera concept is about to make sense, because our Hero Hanna is breathless and emotional quite over the edge. But glorious DP Florian Foest (watch out for 'Jagdhunde!' ) is taking it too far, in the first, maybe, forty minutes. He doesn't like too much indoor or incar light either. BUT what comes out of that is pure painting, watch it in a dark cinema, on TV you maybe will not see a thing in this brilliantly organized shadows. The beauty of this film is. Well I'll tell you. But first it's important to point out that the storytelling is tending to be quite scrappy, it's like a whole cup of dramas that happen to Hanna, but it has broken to peaces and the biggest parts are adjusted in a slightly imperfect way. A lot in this film is too big, too much color on the lips of thalbach's, too much emotional rock in the score. But after all, this is a film, that seems to be. Reigned by love. And like live and love, it doesn't care too much if it's getting on once nerves, sometimes too much. It's funny, it's sad, it's touching. And has great photography, at last. ![]() ![]() • ( EN) Clarie Milne-Smith,, Final Reel, 4 febbraio 2015. URL consultato il 9 ottobre 2016. • ( EN) Dave McNary,,, 6 febbraio 2015.

Winston, the owner of the Continental hotel in, reminds John that if he rejects the Marker, he will be violating one of the two unbreakable rules of the underworld: no killing on Continental grounds, and Markers must be honored. John accepts his commitment and meets with Santino, who tasks him with assassinating his sister Gianna so he can claim her seat on the 'High Table,' a council of high-level crime lords. Santino sends Ares, his mute personal bodyguard, to surveil John. In, John infiltrates Gianna's coronation party and confronts her. Faced with certain death, Gianna commits suicide. After she dies, John shoots her to make sure she's dead, fulfilling his commitment to Santino. While retreating, John is ambushed by Santino's men, who intend to 'tie up loose ends' by killing him. After killing most of them, John is pursued by Gianna's bodyguard Cassian. Their brutal fight is halted when they crash into the reception area of the Rome Continental, which—like the New York Continental—prohibits any 'business' on its grounds. As the two share a tense drink, Cassian vows revenge for Gianna's death. After John returns to New York City, Santino opens a $7 million for John's death under the guise of avenging his sister, leading numerous assassins to attack John. Cassian confronts John once again in the subway. John wins the ensuing fight, but leaves Cassian alive out of professional respect. Injured and desperate, John seeks help from the underground crime lord The Bowery King, whose subordinates treat his injuries and guide him to Santino's location. John kills Santino's bodyguards and mortally wounds Ares in a knife fight, but Santino is able to escape to the Continental. Santino smugly makes it clear that he intends to remain in its sanctuary indefinitely. Despite Winston's warnings, John shoots and kills Santino in the Continental lounge. The next day, Winston sends for John and explains that, per the High Table, the contract on John has been doubled and offered globally. Winston declares John ' from the Continental, losing all access and privileges to underworld resources. However, Winston delays announcing John's excommunication and global bounty by one hour to give him a head start, and provides him with a Marker for future use. Before leaving, John says to Winston: 'Tell them. Tell them all. Whoever comes, whoever it is, I'll kill them. I'll kill them all.'

On, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a weighted average score of 75 out of 100, based on 43 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'. Audiences polled by gave the film an average grade of 'A–' on an A+ to F scale. Scott Tobias of said the film improved upon the original, writing: 'For better or worse—though mostly for better—it’s a full-scale assault on the senses, constantly pushing itself to greater feats of excess.

Of called it 'the real deal' and 'pure cinema'. Writing for in February Stephanie Zacharek stated: 'The pleasures of John Wick: Chapter 2 may be even greater than those of its predecessor—itself a symphonic achievement in scrappy, balls-out, action filmmaking—because in this one, there’s no puppy murder to endure.it’s lovers of humankind who are put to the test. John Wick: Chapter 2 asks the classic pulp question—Are human beings worth saving?—and delivers, with the right proportions of joy and sorrow, the classic pulp answer: Sometimes, no.' Both Richard Brody writing for and Stephen M. Colbert writing for screenrant.com saw secret societies as a significant in the film. In his article 'The World of John Wick Explained', Colbert stated: ' John Wick introduced audiences to a dark, polished, and sharply dressed, underground criminal society full of assassins who (mostly) abide by an unspoken code of conduct and two explicit rules. While the first movie told a more intimate story that only hinted at the larger world of this secret society, John Wick: Chapter Two takes the titular character through several of the corners of this complex underworld, revealing even more about the world of John Wick. While very few of these customs are explicitly explained, there are still enough hints about the inner functionings of the various entities presented, giving us enough puzzle pieces to put together a loose sketch of this mysterious world of assassins.' Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of complained that it 'lacks the first film’s domino-effect momentum', though overall he reacted positively. In part, he praised the action scenes as 'entertainingly surreal'.

Eli Craig (of 'Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil') is a Kapellmeister at an idyllic surface over the arterial-spray terror. At one point, Craig flagrantly regurgitates the smash-cut structure of Edgar Wright. Lucas (Owen Atlas) is a doppelganger for Damien as well but Craig doesn't spoof diacritical scenes (other than the birthday soiree carnage with a self-immolating clown). As the office nuisance Al, Bridget Everett is truly excruciating. In a florid Hawaiian shirt and with an androgynous attitude about the step-parent role, Everett is assaultively unfunny to real estate agent Gary Bloom (Adam Scott) and the viewer's ear canals with the surfer tautology of 'man'. ![]() ![]() Ultimately though, 'Little Evil' is uprooted by a one-joke conceit in which all of Lucas' goat-puppet ventriloquism and other diablerie are faintly ratiocinated by a deadpan Scott. However, it is undeniably uproarious when Scott postulates that hair gel is why Lucas is frozen during his wedding day tornado. Sadly, much of the raillery about Satanism is monomaniacal to the mean-spirited, misogynistic extent where Gary's ravishing wife, Samantha (Evangeline Lilly), is a blathering ignoramus (a conversation about Lucas' conception at a cult ceremony with 'warm red pain'). When it comes to being self-aware and making a mockery of a specific genre in film, movies can become a little full of themselves at times. Little Evil is the latest film to attempt exactly this, and I think it works wonderfully. With a surprisingly fresh take on a family being torn apart by the child, this film takes that notion pretty seriously, which makes it so hilarious to watch. This definitely isn't a movie for everyone, and I can actually see it being pretty divisive between likes and dislikes when it comes to audiences reflecting on their experience of it, but I personally found this movie to be a pleasure to watch. Little Evil is a 2017 American horror comedy film written and directed by Eli Craig. It stars Adam Scott, Evangeline Lilly, Owen Atlas, Bridget Everett, Kyle. Little Evil sneaks a new kind of. 20 Women Directors From 2017 To Thwart An. Netflix’s ‘Little Evil’ Is The Most Surprisingly Gender Fluid Film Of The. Now streaming on Netflix, here is why I believe this Horror/Comedy to be a win. Quite literally, this movie is about a man wo had wed a woman with a son who he believes to be the Antichrist. Now, there isn't a way to explain this premise without it sounding incredibly ridiculous, so it's a good thing this film focuses much more on the fact that it knows exactly what it is, rather than trying to scare its audience. If you don't find yourself chuckling within the first few minutes, you might as well stop watching, because it's definitely not going to be for you.I found myself laughing very hard throughout the majority of this movie, sort of reminding me of the experience I had with a film like We Came Together, which did the same mockery for the Rom-Com genre a few years ago. The way this film is presented is very unique and if for nothing else, I admired the creativity put into the script. Throughout the majority of this movie, it will have you asking the question of whether or not you should be laughing or taking it seriously, due to the fact that it still tries to remain a horror flick. By the third act, some of the comedy aspects are thrown away to compensate the story itself, but I found that okay, due to the fact that I was so incredibly entertained by the first two acts. Still, it can be jarring and will definitely confuse some of its audience. For these complaints and more, I can't see the majority of audiences enjoying this. This movie was clearly made for film fans and those who understand mockery of genres. When it comes down to Adam Scott, he has been pretty hit-or-miss for me throughout the years. I quite enjoyed him in the film Krampus, so I was excited to see him returning to something similar in tone, because this is where I feel he shines best. Aside from him being well-casted here, I found Evangeline Lilly, Bridget Everett, and young Owen Atlas to all be giving solid performances, most notably Briget Everett. Her character easily had the most laughs throughout the movie and as the film unveiled more of her backstory, I just fell more in love with her character (which is a man). The characters may not be fleshed out enough here, but they serve the story well enough to forgive that aspect. In the end, I honestly can't say that many people will have the same reaction to this film as I did. In fact, most people will probably disagree with me, due to the fact that I was sucked in and completely understood what they were going for here. It's not a perfect movie and the tone does shift too much, but those aspects never hurt the film for me. I was pleasantly surprised throughout its full 90 minutes and I think some people will definitely get a kick out of it as I did. It's one of the funniest experiences with a movie I've had all year, so I have to give it some personal props for that alone. This is a clever and unique concept that turns the horror genre on its head, and although this may be a bad recommendation for some, I just have to recommend people to give it a chance. Little Evil is a crazy little horror/comedy that's worth a watch. This article's plot summary may be. Please by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (October 2017) () Gary Bloom marries Samantha who has a son, Lucas, a quiet 5-year-old boy who does not like Gary. Gary struggles to create a connection with Lucas, but Lucas ignores him. Gary receives a telephone call from his wedding videographer, Karl, warning him that something very unusual is in the footage and Gary must come see at once. Gary is uninterested, stating to Karl that he and Samantha have decided to just put the whole disaster out of mind and asks him to ‘please destroy the tapes’. The videographer pleads with him but Gary disconnects. Later on that day, Gary stops by one of his properties for sale, an old nunnery, where Father J.D. Gospel buys it on the spot. Gary has to leave the sale when he is summoned to Lucas’ school where the informs Gary that Lucas spoke out of turn in class and told his science teacher to “go to hell”. Gary is further shocked when he finds out she then poured on her face, hurled herself out a third story window, and is found speared on the fence outside. Lucas seems to have a habit, Gary learns, of pushing people over the edge. A stresses that Lucas see a counselor and Gary, the apparent main source of Lucas’ erratic behavior, should do the same. Samantha is visibly upset by the news and feels that everyone, including Gary, is unfairly blaming Lucas. Gary assures her that he loves them both and decides to have a heartfelt, frank discussion with the boy, but the conversation is not well-received or successful. At therapy, Gary tries to relate to other, including his friend Al. When Gary confides in them that he thinks his stepson might be a little evil, they all sympathize and can relate to his feelings. The next day, at Lucas’ birthday party, a clown accidentally lights himself on fire, which finally inspires Gary to go see Karl the wedding videographer and find out what really happened at the wedding. Karl shows Gary the video, which shows that the priest wasn’t speaking Latin, but English backwards forcing him to “vow to protect the child come hellfire or brimstone.” Karl believes a has summoned the child from the bowels of hell. All of Samantha's previous boyfriends are dead except for one — Gabriel. Karl gives Gary Gabriel's address and suggests that he go talk to him. That night, Gary tries to find out about Lucas' biological father. Samantha reluctantly admits that years earlier, she was part of a sort of and took part in a virgin ritual. Gary convinces Al to help him Gabriel who is an and part of a religious cult. He is confined to a basement where he and prays for God to save him. He then reveals that he believes Lucas is the and tells them to travel to, to find Gozamel the demon hunter. Gary and Al retreat to at a bar, where Gary bemoans how badly things have turned out. Al suggests he get a divorce, but Gary explains he loves Samantha and does not want to leave her. They view a television news report on end-of-world riots in Bethlehem —, — and they realize that may be where they need to go. They travel to find Gozamel, who informs them they have to kill the child with the Knife of Destiny, which he inherited from his father, or the end of the world will ensue. Shortly afterwards, he crashes and is killed in the car accident, but not before he gives Gary the Knife of Destiny and tells Gary it is up to him now. He can use the knife or not but he must be killed on ground. Gary arrives home to find Samantha with Miss Shaylock, a woman from. They encourage Gary put Lucas to bed, but this goes horribly wrong, ending in Lucas burying Gary in a sandbox. Samantha digs him up, taking Lucas’ side for being a confused kid, and Gary screams that Lucas is the Antichrist. Samantha is devastated, and Gary later apologizes. He takes Lucas on a trip to Waterland (which the pope blessed at one point as hallowed ground) as a treat. Lucas and Gary actually start to bond as father and son as Gary teaches Lucas how to swim. However, Gary still plans to kill the Antichrist. He fills Lucas’ floaties with sand and sends him to his death, but sees a sign from God and realizes in his heart the only way to save the world (and anyone including the Antichrist) is through love. Gary dives into the pool and saves Lucas and then takes him for ice cream. Both of them apologize for trying to kill the other. It’s clear that Gary and Lucas have bonded with each other. Suddenly, an for Lucas pops up on Gary’s phone. Police arrive to take Gary, and Miss Shaylock takes Lucas. Father Gospel kidnaps Samantha, and Gary escapes from the police to save her and Lucas, but not without help from the other stepdads. Gary, Al, and the other stepfathers travel to the old nunnery where Father Gospel and his disciples prepare to kill Lucas in order for Satan to take his form. Gary stops Father Gospel but the altar begins to rise and the floor cracks open to the pits of hell. Lucas falls through the pit and Gary dives in after him. A demonic fire-demon rises from the pit and Gary is forced to make the decision of letting go of Lucas or going with him into the abyss. He chooses not to let go and sacrifices himself with Lucas, and they disappear into the pit. However, they eventually emerge from it. Father Gospel rises again with the Knife of Destiny, but Samantha knocks him out, and he tumbles into the pit to hell. Weeks later, Gary and Lucas are finally doing what Gary’s dreamed of: racing in the Okatok. Lucas and Gary speed down the street aimlessly, now happy as father and son.

Most of the women seeking treatment at About Face Skin Care are looking to improve the appearance of their face. The most common second problem area is the neck. However, the third most popular and booming area that we treat is the aging hand. Other than the occasional manicure and hand lotion, clients often report they do nothing to protect and repair hands. However, it is not only brittle nails and dry skin that happen over time. Here are five issues that happen to the hands as we age, and some things we can do to “turn back the hand of time.” Right: Before and after Lumecca IPL treatment for brown spots. Age Spots or Brown Patches- The hands are very vulnerable to sun damage. I find most customers forget to lather sunscreen on their hands daily, even if they are in a habit of using it on the face every day. ![]() Driving puts the hands in direct UV rays and the effects accumulate yearly. Age spots can begin to develop as early as the forties, and will continue over time as the melanin distribution is affected. Try Lumecca Therapy. The Lumecca is an IPL device that uses a flash lamp to break down brown and red pigment in the skin that is treated. It can be used virtually anywhere on the body and also has skin tightening and collagen stimulating effects, as well. Thinning Skin on the Back of the Hand- Even if you have been diligently slathering hand cream on over the years, you may notice the hands looking drier and scaly. Skin may look more thin and even appear to bruise more easily with certain supplements and medications. There are several medical grade products that can help these issues. Retinol Complete by Revisions Skincare is a product that can thicken tissue, as well as resurface dead skin cells. Another fabulous product by Revisions is the Lumiquin Hand Repair. Lumiquin is packed with antioxidants that brighten skin, repair imperfections and helps to lock moisture into the skin. Boney and Veiny Hands- As we age, we lose the natural fat pad on the back of the hand. The result is thin hands with veins and bones protruding. This volume loss makes the skin changes even more noticeable. To replace the volume and make hands look more youthful, a small amount of injectable filler is gently place beneath the skin through a small opening. The filler attracts water from the body and the result is smoother skin with fewer protrusions. This treatment has delighted many that are embarrassed of their “old lady hands.”. ![]() Dry Skin- Sure you can use expensive hand creams, but if the top, dead skin cell layer of the skin is thick, it will do little to revive the hands. Consider a light chemical peel or dermaplaning treatment to remove this unwanted skin and instantly smooth the tissue. Hand creams will then penetrate better, yielding a better result. Brittle, Dry Nails - This little know side effect of menopause can be very annoying. ![]() Manicures and polish can help, but you can do more to repair the problem. Consider DermaNail nail conditioner. After 16 weeks of consecutive use, clients are amazed at the decrease in breaking, brittleness, chipping, cracking, peeling and splitting of their nails. A bonus to this product is that satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed. Don’t leave your hands out of your antiaging habits. Sometimes, they are your first impression.
