Bosch may have come to an end on Prime Video, but you cannot keep a good detective down for long. Or, as is the case here, you cannot stop a popular TV detective from getting a spin-off. Bosch: Legacy is the name of that spin-off, in which Titus Welliver returns as the grizzled detective alongside former enemy Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers). Though the two stars return, there are some big differences that separate the original Bosch from this new show on a new streaming service. The Freevee spin-off is streaming now. And while you might have streaming service fatigue right now, the new service has one major perk that Bosch fans will definitely want to take advantage of. How is Bosch: Legacy linked to the original Bosch ? While some spin-offs will turn supporting characters to leads, or be prequels to the existing show, Legacy is a sequel which maintains Harry Bosch (Welliver) as its lead. Also returning are Rogers as Honey and Madison Lintz as Bosch's daughter … [Read more...] about How to watch the “Bosch Legacy” spin-off—and how it links to the original

Bank of England chief warns over ‘apocalyptic’ food price rises
The Governor of the Bank of England has warned there is “very real income shock” coming from energy prices and “apocalyptic” food prices but stood by the Bank’s policy decisions. Andrew Bailey said he felt “helpless” as he defended the bank of England’s monetary policy despite households being battered by soaring inflation. Mr Bailey told MPs at the Treasury Select Committee on Monday that UK consumer demand will be impacted by current inflation, which is the highest in 30 years, and this is expected to cause higher unemployment. The Office for National statistics recorded inflation at 7% in March and later this week is expected to unveil over 8% inflation for last month.

Inside Sri Lankan People’s Protest, a Political Awakening is Underway
Sri Lanka is going through one of the worst crises of its history. Food has become scarce, prices have shot through the roof, and long power cuts have turned the lives of ordinary Sri Lankans upside down. The economic meltdown has also catapulted the country into a political crisis as the people demand answers and accountability from the government. After the recent attacks on protestors in the nation’s capital by supporters of the ruling party, the President has imposed a new state of emergency, giving security forces sweeping powers. The ferocity of the protests has already forced Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to resign, and protestors are demanding that his brother, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, step down as well.

Half of Joe Biden’s Twitter followers are fake, audit reveals
Almost half of President Joe Biden 's current 22.2 million followers on Twitter are fake accounts, according to an audit tool provided by software company SparkToro. SparkToro's tool found that 49.3 percent of accounts following the official @POTUS Twitter account are "fake followers" based on analysis of a number of factors, including location issues, default profile images and new users. Tesla CEO Elon Musk , who is currently trying to buy Twitter , has expressed concerns about the number of fake accounts and a potential crack down could see users such as Biden lose a huge number of followers. Musk said early on Tuesday that his $44-billion deal to purchase the social media company could not go ahead until issues with fake accounts were resolved and he appeared to criticize Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal.

Joe Biden’s rare primary endorsement in danger of backfiring in Oregon
President Joe Biden has endorsed just two Democrats so far in the 2022 midterm election cycle and it appears one of those endorsements could be about to backfire in Oregon. Biden announced his support for incumbent Representative Kurt Schrader in Oregon's recently redrawn 5th congressional district in April but Schrader is facing a tough challenge from progressive Jamie McLeod-Skinner. Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday to decide the primary races in the state's congressional districts as well as voting in the Senate and gubernatorial primaries. While Schrader has been endorsed by both Biden and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), he is a controversial figure who opposed Nancy Pelosi 's return as Speaker of the House and the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump following the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Sri Lanka PM to Address Crisis-hit Nation as Fuel Runs Short
Sri Lanka's new prime minister will address the crisis-hit nation later on Monday, as the country's power minister told citizens not to join the lengthy fuel queues that have galvanized weeks of anti-government protests. Ranil Wickremesinghe, appointed prime minister on Thursday, said he would give a "full explanation" of the financial crisis that has devastated the strategic Indian Ocean island nation, where China and India are battling for influence. "There is a lot to be done and undone. We are prioritising matters, rest assured they shall be addressed as early as possible," he said in a series of tweets on Sunday. The crisis led to widespread protests against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his family, culminating in the resignation of his elder brother Mahinda as prime minister last week after fighting between government supporters and protesters killed 9 people and wounded 300. The president then replaced him with Wickremesinghe, an opposition parliamentarian who has … [Read more...] about Sri Lanka PM to Address Crisis-hit Nation as Fuel Runs Short
