More than 40 years ago, Americans were afraid to go into the water as “Jaws” scared the daylights out of a generation of ocean swimmers. Hollywood is hoping for a repeat this summer with the movie “47 Meters Down.” There have been more than 50 shark movies since Steven Spielberg made cinematic history with “Jaws” in 1975. This year’s shark movie, which will open in the US on June 16, takes place almost entirely under water. Sisters Lisa and Kate — played by Mandy Moore and Claire Holt — are on vacation in the Gulf of California, and it becomes clear that they should avoid climbing aboard a flimsy boat belonging to Taylor (Matthew Modine). They also probably should not get inside Taylor’s rusty shark cage to plunge into the water and observe the predators up close. Modine’s character attracts the sharks by pouring blood into th...

He spoke in an interview with the Newsmen  in Lagos on Sunday against the backdrop of the May 25 kidnap of six students at the Lagos Model College, Igbonla, Epe. The kidnapping came seven months after four students and a teacher were abducted from the same school, but later released.

It was its 10th launch this year, after dozens in 2016, as it accelerates efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental United States — something President Donald Trump has vowe...
