PA Award-winning actor and DJ Sir Idris Elba has been fined after he was caught breaking a 20mph (32km/h) speed limit while riding his scooter along Chelsea Embankment in London. Sir Idris, known for starring in Luther and The Wire, was recorded travelling at 28mph last June. He was given a 147 fine at Westminster Magistrates' Court, as well as three penalty points on his licence, and ordered to pay 110 in costs and a 59 victim surcharge.

Hijack, originally conceived as a limited miniseries, is back on Apple TV for its second season with Idris Elba again at the center of a large-scale hostage situation. This time, the action unfolds underground in the Berlin U-Bahn with hundreds of passengers on their daily commute. Impressively, Hijack remains virtually intact from its freshman season. It's still the same high-stakes yet grounded thriller for grownups that assumes you're giving it undivided attention, not laundry or doomscrolling at the same time.

For seven effortlessly bingeable hours supposedly showing the adventure in real time, our man on the pressurised inside deduced complex situations from misplaced washbags, sent coded messages via fruit cartons and dying men's phones, saved lives, averted disasters, and got Kingdom Flight 29 landed safely by Holly Aird so that he could return to his family, even though viewers agreed the scenes with them in between the plane bits were very boring indeed.

Although " A House of Dynamite" star Idris Elba did say at the Netflix release's Venice Film Festival press conference that he "does not have the courage to be in politics," he certainly does not shy away from playing heads of state on film. Over a decade after his Golden Globe-nominated performance as Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, in "Long Walk to Freedom," the British actor has played both the British Prime Minister in " Heads of State," and the President of the United States in the new political thriller from Best Director Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow.

Matthew Phillip defended the two-day event as "one of the few creative and cultural outlets left for our youth" after it was marred by violence in recent years.

I was absolutely riveted by what Kyle said, the King told the group. The King, speaking unscripted, called for joined-up action across government, charities and local organisations.

Amazon Prime Video's new genre of algorithm-friendly, plot-light, and action-heavy movies aim to provide fun entertainment, exhibiting trends of battling-for-justice themes and MCU-style humor.

Elba told host Amy Poehler that he didn't find success until he was around 35 and that life before that was often difficult. "There were some very tough times," he said.
