Trump's 100 days, Carney's Canadian Comeback, Ukraine's Minerals Deal
We'll assess the 100 days and Trump's so-called 'muzzle velocity strategy', flooding the media space with continuous announcements. It perhaps comes as no surprise that he's given himself full marks… It's been a week that's seen the political comeback of the year so far, thanks partly to the threats and trolling from President Trump .. Canada's liberal party came out on top despite being discarded by analysts as down and out at the start of the year. Tariffs and Trade wars triggered by their neighbour, and Trump's threats to annex them seem to have helped galvanise a patriotic push back. Mark Carney's task was to distance himself from predecessor Justin Trudeau, while Conservative opposition leader Pierre Polivere had to distance himself from claims of being a mini Trump. Voters opted for Liberal ex-banker Carney… who expressed his happiness at party headquarters, through the form of dance… And it's been a rare week of good news in Ukraine, or that's how it's being presented by negotiators in Kyiv and Washington. A critical minerals deal has been concluded with the US, one that was first proposed by the Ukrainians to President Biden last autumn. It morphed under Trump into an IOU agreement, critical minerals for repayment of past US aid. After the Oval Oval spat, and Ukrainian hopes of a security guarantee out of the question, terms were dropped, and better concessions agreed, that Kyiv sees as a good deal, given the circumstances. We'll assess what it means for the conflict…

Filmart: Aaron Kwok to Star in Comedy-Drama ‘IOU'
Hong Kong leading man Aaron Kwok will next star in IOU, a heartwarming drama directed by Steven Zhang Zhonghua. The film reunites Kwok with Hong Kong producer Julia Chu, with whom he teamed up for Port of Call (2015) and Where the Wind Blows (2022). Distribution Workshop is shopping the film to international buyers this week at Hong Kong's Filmart content market. Set against the background of recent, real-life fundraising scams in China, IOU is a comedy-drama 'that satirizes the selfishness of an interest-driven society,' according to the producers.

Trying to repay his own debts by all means necessary, Kwok's character, a man named Wu, blocks two siblings inside their rural Shaanxi home, hoping to force their father to pay back the money Wu loaned him. Despite causing him endless headaches, the siblings' simple-mindedness and compassion transform Wu, leading him to make an unexpected choice on Chinese New Year's Eve. First discussed in 2020, the project was selected as a Top-30 finalist at the 33rd Golden Rooster Film Project Market and participated in the 20th Hong Kong International Film Festival's industry program. Filming began earlier in March with a production budget around $3 million. Zhang is best known for Hearty Tomato (2012), selected for the 28th Warsaw International Film Festival, The Home in the Tree (2019), nominated for best Children's Film of 32nd Golden Rooster Award, and Home by the River (2025), which recently competed at Poland's Kinolub Film Festival. Other titles on Distribution Workshop's sales slate at Filmart this year include Juno Mak's long-gestating Sons of the Neon Night; Operation Hadal, from action hitmaker Dante Lam; Little Red Sweet, directed by Vincent Chow; and Penguin Girl, helmed by Taiwanese first-timer Yuyu Yang. Filmart runs March 17-20 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
