Irish chart-toppers cancel major show over Palestinian flag ban
Irish indie-rock band Somebody's Child has announced the cancellation of their upcoming show in Leipzig, Germany, due to the venue forbidding a performance with a Palestinian flag on stage. 'Unfortunately, we are cancelling our Leipzig performance on 18th November,' the band said via Instagram. 'In light of what happened at recent shows in Germany regarding the display of a Palestinian flag on stage, it was brought to our attention that we might be faced with the same issue at our shows in Berlin and Leipzig,' their statement read. Since the venues in both Berlin (Gretchen) and Leipzig (Naumanns) would not allow the group to display a Palestinian flag during their performances, Somebody's Child decided to move their Berlin show to a later date and cancel their Leipzig show entirely. Their Berlin show will be held at a new venue, Hole44, on November 18, the date on which the Leipzig show was set to take place. Somebody's Child said that being allowed to perform with a Palestinian flag on stage is 'a very basic requirement for us as musicians with a conscience.' 'It's the absolute least we can do in light of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people,' they further explained. The group said they were 'unable to find another venue in Leipzig that would allow a Palestinian flag on stage.' They apologised to fans who had already bought a ticket, saying, 'We hope to see you at a show at some point.' Refunds for tickets to the Leipzig show will be available at the point of purchase. The announcement comes only a month after The Murder Capital cancelled a gig at Club Gretchen in Berlin on May 10, as they too were told they could not display a Palestinian flag. A second concert in Cologne on the following night was called off by the rock band for the same reason.

Blind date: ‘I studied Mandarin Chinese in college. He smiled and immediately responded in Chinese.'
GRETCHEN F.: 26 / data scientist What makes her a catch: She thinks about others a lot and values relationships. Her interests: Reading, running 7 P.M. KRASI, BOSTON Lots of Laughs Aldis I arrived early. I reviewed the wine list awkwardly and tried not to look expectant. Gretchen He was sitting in the restaurant as I walked in. He was very handsome and well dressed in a baby-blue pinstripe button-down and khakis. Aldis I remember thinking she was beautiful even before it was clear that she was actually my date. She was wearing a blue dress and had a beautiful smile. I botched the greeting and did this weird handshake-hug-handshake movement that she gracefully turned into a hug. Advertisement Gretchen I mistakenly reached out for a handshake then converted it to a hug, which made us both laugh. Aldis asked if I had been to Krasi before. We laughed when we realized that both of us had requested it — he had been there before, and my friends had recommended it — for our dinner. Greek to Mandarin Aldis From the first moment, there was not a single lull in conversation. Gretchen We talked about his residency program, which launched us into conversations about our ties to the medical world. At some point, we moved on to running. I found it particularly interesting that we both run as a way to release energy and are not very interested in racing, unique in the distance running world. Advertisement Aldis We were there for two hours and talked nonstop. We shared a lot of interests. We both run, are early birds, and carry a book wherever we go. Gretchen I mentioned that I studied Mandarin Chinese in college. He smiled and immediately responded in Chinese. I tried to keep up, but he definitely has a better command of the language than I do. I was shocked we had this in common. Aldis She was a great listener and there was a lot of laughter. I realized I had a crush on her pretty early on. Gretchen What was surprisingly most attractive was how he lit up when he talked about his family and friends. He seemed to really care about other people, something I really value. Aldis We had the Robola white wine. Appetizers included charred eggplant, asparagus, and chickpea fritters. We had a delicious fish dish, as well as souvla — probably my favorite. Gretchen I had never before tasted anything like any of the dishes [we had] and was so impressed. We wrapped up with the rice pudding. In Agreement Aldis The waiter floated the idea of going to a speakeasy nearby, but we are both early birds and had work the next day. Gretchen The time passed so quickly, I couldn't believe that it had been over two hours. Aldis We exchanged numbers. I did ask if she would want to meet up for another date and she said yes. Gretchen We hugged and parted ways. Second Date? Aldis That's the plan! Gretchen I would love to continue our conversations and see what else we may have in common.

Law & Order: SVU Finale Recap: Some Surprising News Has Major Impact on a Member of Liv's Team — Plus, Grade It!
If you tuned into Thursday's Law & Order: SVU season finale to find out how the show handled the exits of cast members Octavio Pisano and Juliana Aidén Martinez, you'll have to wait until Season 27 for that reveal. (Sorry about all the bloody eye sockets you had to witness in the meantime!) The Season 26 finale instead focuses on a gruesome serial killer who preyed on mental health professionals. The case of the week kicks off with an attack on a therapist, Gretchen (played by Breaking Bad's Betsy Brandt), who was bludgeoned and raped in her brownstone. Pages from the notebook in which she keeps her session notes were ripped out, causing Olivia & Co. to theorize that a patient or former patient was behind the crime. More from TVLine Law & Order: Organized Crime Recap: Why Is Stabler Purring? and Other Episode 6 Thoughts Poker Face: Natasha Lyonne Explains Steve Buscemi's Surprise Role (and Their Long History Together) Law & Order: SVU Is Bringing Kelli Giddish Back as a Series Regular Benson's team think they know who did it, and they attempt to corner the guy (who, yep, is a former patient) while he's trapped in traffic on a highway on-ramp. But the man sees them coming and starts shooting at them as he hops out of his car and runs. Eventually, Velasco and Bruno get him to put down the weapon… but then the guy hops over the roadway's railing, falling to grievous injury on a car below. He dies on the way to the hospital. Only problem: The guy who died had an alibi, and he wasn't the person who attacked Gretchen. Even worse, another therapist is attacked in the same manner, only the new victim's eyes are gouged out. (Eew.) After an investigation that stretches to Connecticut, the squad finds its guy, who's working as a manager at a rental-car company in Manhattan. Bruno literally hops buildings to follow the perp as he runs, but he and Velasco eventually corner and arrest the man, who is, indeed, in need of serious psychiatric help. In other news, Velasco gets promoted to Detective Second Grade, an occasion that the squad marks with a surprise gathering at a nearby bar. And at the end of the episode, Benson and her officers don their dress blues and attend the ceremony in which Velasco is officially promoted. Now it's your turn. What did you think of the episode? Grade it, and the season as a whole, via the polls below. Then, hit the comments with your thoughts!
