A five-year-old boy tragically lost his life after falling off a harbour wall. Benjamin Cullis had been out fishing and crabbing with his dad and younger brother when he tripped and fell in Padstow harbour, Cornwall.
Benjamin, who was described as a "popular and happy boy" at an inquest into his death, saw him hit the side of a moored yacht before disappearing briefly under water on June 24. His dad quickly scaled down a harbour wall ladder to reach him.
Benjamin was pulled onto a boat where a holidaying anaesthetist from Croydon Hospital gave him first aid. A paediatric nurse also on holiday and a firefighter managed to bring Benjamin to a pontoon on a motor punt before paramedics from Cornwall Air Ambulance then took over, reports CornwallLive.

In a statement read to the court, Mr Cullis said they were sitting on a bench along the edge of the harbour wall when the incident happened.
“There was an older woman sat on the bench as well and she commented on how polite they were but also how close they were to the edge,” he said.
“I then said the fateful words of, ‘They are always so careful at the edge’, which they are. They had been there so often they know the area and are

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Here we are, three weeks into January, and the Sundance Film Festival has delivered what promises to be the year’s most uncomfortable date movie: a grubby New York-set fable about a facially distinctive actor (modeled on Adam Pearson) who undergoes an experimental procedure that leaves him looking like Sebastian Stan — presumably an improvement, until he realizes that under the skin, he’s still the same miserable loser. The kind of oddball satire only indie studio A24 would dare to produce, Aaron Schimberg’s “A Different Man” asks what it means to be “normal,” and whether, if we could wave a magic wand and “correct” those qualities that set us apart, that’s really something we’d want.

that was a nice surprise.Anthony Anderson eschewed the traditional awkward monologue on Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards — delivering a clever salute to several classic TV shows accompanied by a piano and a “small, inclusive choir from Compton.”(“Kevin Costner is from Compton!” he joked.)That, in itself, meant the show was off to a good start — and miles away from Jo Koy’s disastrous opening monologue on last week’s Golden Globes.For a second, I thought the opening shtick, “Mister Anderson’s Neighborhood,” would rip off Eddie Murphy’s classic “SNL” sketch (“Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood“), but it didn’t — as, instead, Anderson sang theme songs from “Good Times,” “The Facts of Life” and “Miami Vice” (with Travis Barker on drums … and Anderson was sockless, just like Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in that landmark ’80s series).And he got the walkoff music bugaboo out of the way, joking that whoever didn’t follow the acceptance-speech timing rules would have to deal with his mother and “We Are Family” co-host, Doris Bowman (“Thank Jesus and your family and wrap it up,” he implored nominees).“The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series — repeating her Golden Globe victory — and gave a nice speech thanking her parents.Ditto for her co-star Jeremy Allen White (Best Lead Actor, Comedy), who included one-too-many “I love yous” in his.It was great to see 90-year-old Carol Burnett on stage to present the Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, won by “Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson, who gave a teary acceptance speech.

Jeffrey Wright, star of Cord Jefferson’s provocative debut feature American Fiction, says he felt a personal affinity with his character Thelonious ‘Monk’ Ellison in the film, in part because of the challenges Monk experiences with regard to family issues.
