The Southwest zonal office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday upturned the suspension of the Chairman of the party in Ibadan North East Local Government of Oyo State, Taiwo Iyiola, over alleged anti-party activities.  It said the suspension of Iyiola by the State Working Committee (SWC) was arbitrarily without any preliminary hearing as demanded by the party’s constitution.  PDP spokesman in Oyo State Akeem Olatunji said on the phone that the Zonal Secretary, Daisi Akintan, who signed the letter reinstating the suspended chairman, lacked power to act without the consent of the Zonal Chairman, Dayo Ogunbenro. He said the purported letter was null and void.

Woody Allen's 🎦 'Rainy Day in New York' Clears 💰 $10M at Overseas Box Office

-
Woody Allen's "A Rainy Day in New York" is nearing $11 million in foreign ticket sales even while it isn't being shown in the US.

Through Nov. 4, the movie's foreign gross rested at $10.8 million, according to Box Office Mojo. The highest-earning territory is France, where Allen is particularly popular, with $4.3 million. That's followed by $1.7 million in Spain, $1.1 million in Poland and $1.1 million in Russia.

The film began rolling out at the international box office in late September. A patchwork of distributors are handling the comedy-romance across Europe, Latin America and Asia.

So far, "A Rainy Day in New York" is earning notably less overseas than many of Allen's other films.

So far, no US distributor has picked up A Rainy Day in the New York after Amazon Studios returned domestic rights to Allen earlier this year.

When the #MeToo movement shook Hollywood, claims that Allen has molested his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was 7 received renewed scrutiny. Amazon shelved Rainy Day and tried to cut ties with the director.

The filmmaker responded by suing for $68 million for breach of contract, his guaranteed minimum payment for his four-picture deal with Amazon.

About 300,000 people are expected to leave Hong Kong for Britain using a new visa route which opens on Sunday. Hong Kong's British National (Overseas) passport holders and their immediate dependants will be able to apply for the visa using a smartphone app. Boris Johnson said the move honoured the UK's "profound ties of history and friendship" with the ex-British colony. The visa was announced in July after China imposed a new security law in Hong Kong. Beijing has previously warned the UK not to meddle in domestic issues. Those who apply and secure the visa will be able to apply for settlement after five years and then British citizenship after a further 12 months. Although there are 2.9 million citizens eligible to move to the UK, with a further estimated 2.3 million dependants, the government expects about 300,000 people to take up the offer. The prime minister said: "I am immensely proud that we have brought in this new route for Hong Kong BNOs to live, work
