West Java bridge opening collapses, injuring officials and bystanders

A 60-meter suspension bridge in Pangandaran Regency, West Java, collapsed during a ribbon-cutting for its opening after more than 50 people crossed, sending villagers and officials plunging into the creek. No fatalities were reported, but several injuries occurred, including the Pangandaran Regent’s head and a Public Works official. Authorities said overload caused a left-side sling rope to detach; warnings had been ignored in the celebration. The bridge has been closed for urgent repairs as investigators assess its safety and integrity.

Gilded, Silent, and In Control: Melania Trump in a Fashion-First Documentary

A glossy but airless documentary portrays Melania Trump as a control-driven, fashion-obsessed figure who dominates staff dress codes, oversees inauguration fittings, and curates private moments with Donald and Barron, while projecting a non-political First Lady image; the film interleaves scenes from events like Arlington Cemetery and St Patrick’s Cathedral with cameos from tech leaders, but the reviewer calls it a dull, self-aggrandizing autohagiography that spends $28m on style over substance and reveals little about actual politics.
