Hawkeye could have been 'many episodes shorter'
Binge or Bin host Jacob Stolworthy bemoans the fact that ‘despite good rapport’ between the two leads, Marvel’s new series Hawkeye ‘feels a bit ho-hum’.
The six part series follows CLint Barton, AKA Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, as he passes on his role to Hailee Steinfeld’s character Kate Bishop.
Jacob opines that the story didn’t warrant a series and ‘could have just been a film’.

Death toll rises after volcanic eruption on Indonesia’s Java island
The death toll following the eruption of the highest volcano on Indonesia’s most densely populated island of Java has risen to 13, with seven people still missing, officials announced today (Sunday) as smouldering debris and thick mud continues to hamper search efforts.

Searing gas and lava travelled up to 800 metres (2,624 feet) to a nearby river.

Ukrainians tense at frontline as Russia troop build-up increases
On Friday (3 December), Ukraine’s defense minister has estimated that Russia has placed more than 94,000 troops near the borders.
The Ukrainian defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, also noted that an escalation “is a probable scenario, but not certain, and our task is to avert it.”
Ukrainian and Western officials recently spoke up about a Russian troop build-up near the border with Ukraine, saying they feared it could indicate the beginnings of an invasion.
So far, Russia has denied planning an invasion and accused Ukraine and its Western supporters of fabricating claims to distract from their own allegedly aggressive plots.

Live: Jen Psaki holds White House press briefing
White House press secretary Jen Psaki is giving her daily White House briefing on the day that the US November jobs report came out, disappointing many in the business community.
The US added more than 200,000 jobs last month but fell considerably short of the half a million new jobs that had been forecasted by economists before the report was released.
These underwhelming numbers will be particularly concerning as they were compiled before the news of the omicron variant began to affect markets around the world.

‘Wicked’ stepmother and ‘pitiless’ father jailed for killing six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes
A “wicked” stepmother has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 29 years for cruelly abusing, poisoning and murdering her partner’s six-year-old son.
Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was left with an unsurvivable brain injury while in the sole care of “evil” Emma Tustin.
Tustin was unanimously convicted of Arthur’s murder after an eight-week trial, with the boy’s “pitiless” father, Thomas Hughes found guilty of his manslaughter, after encouraging the killing.
Jailing the pair, Mr Justice Mark Wall QC said the trial had been “without doubt one of the most distressing and disturbing cases I have had to deal with”.
