Fresh in office, one of newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden’s first significant acts has been the release of an executive document outlining the swift cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Proposed by TransCanada Energy in 2008 as a transcontinental expansion to an existing pipeline network, Keystone XL would be a 2,735-kilometer-long tube responsible for carrying roughly 800,000 barrels of oil from Alberta to refineries on the American Gulf Coast. Subject to public scrutiny and resistance, the pipeline has been a controversial deal since its inception, garnering outrage for its harmful effects on the environment, national economies, and local communities.

The year is 2021 and two helmet-wearing future disco robots walk across the bleak badlands of a world gripped by paranoia, pandemics and pollution. The pair say nothing, but understand each other perfectly and know what must be done. Moments later, after a countdown is triggered, we watch as one half of the team explodes into smithereens. Here one moment, gone the next.

Little Pyongyang is a short film centred around the story Joong-wha Choi, a former Northern Korean soldier who now lives in the sleepy London borough of New Malden.

The movie sets itself on a colour frame of pink and teal as an intimate interview with Choi begins on his hopes, fears and longing of home. Choi’s experience defecting from North Korea has cut his life in two, disorientating him from his sense of purpose and belonging.

How the government’s U-Turn on UK leaseholders is destroying the lives of those affected by the National Cladding Scandal

I tuned into the recent Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Select Committee session. The meeting had been arranged to discuss the Draft Building Safety Bill that the government intends to pass.

As a leaseholder of a one-bedroom flat in North West London, I was particularly interested in hearing what the Committee had to say about remedial costs and gain some clarification on the rumours that these costs would be incurred by leaseholders across the Country.
