LONDON — Ben Affleck is an optimist. The Hollywood star thinks the next four years will at least be interesting after watching President-elect Donald Trump’s first press conference. “I didn’t get to watch the entire news conference although what I did see of it, I was quite entertained by. I think it will be an entertaining four years,” he said at the London premiere of his latest directorial effort “Live by Night” Wednesday. Actor Chris Messina, who joined Affleck and co-star Sienna Miller on the red carpet, didn’t seem as upbeat as Affleck. “I think we’re all a little scared and we’re going to take deep breaths. Meryl Streep said it best the other night at the Golden Globes. I don’t think anyone can be any more eloquent as her. Yeah, I was sad today. Obama said goodbye. We’re going to miss him,” Messina said. Affleck was also somewhat miffed at Trump’s Twitter reaction to Streep’s Golden Globes speech. The actress made the Republican a big topic of her speech without naming him directly and Trump fired back calling her “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood.” Affleck disagreed with the sentiment. “If you think Meryl Streep is an

She’s, if nothing else the world’s greatest actor,” he said. “Live by Night” is Affleck’s fourth feature as a director. He produced the film and also wrote the screenplay, based on a Dennis Lehane novel by the same name about
a group of gangsters in Prohibitionera Boston. Affleck took on the lead role of Joe Coughlin, the son of a police captain, who forges his way into the world of crime. Affleck said there was one difficult aspect to directing himself: Steamy bedroom scenes didn’t quite work out as well as he’d hoped. (ap)

Migrants wait in line to receive plates of free food during a snowfall outside a derelict customs warehouse in Belgrade, Serbia, January 11, 2017.

BELGRADE - In a derelict warehouse behind Belgrade’s main coach station, up to 2,000 migrants are trying to survive the freezing Serbian winter in a crumbling building with broken windows, no heating, or warm water. It is -11 Celsius and a bitterly cold blizzard is lashing them while they try to warm up by burning wood outside the grim warehouse they now call home. Some of the migrants, who mainly come from Afghanistan, are wrapped in blankets given out by agencies, but most shiver in jackets inadequate for the sub-zero temperatures they endure day and night. Inside the warehouse, the air is thick with smoke from several makeshift fires and groups of men
huddle together trying to thaw their hands by the orange flames. The dark smoke renders the visibility to only a few feet, but the darkness is pierced by the sounds of people coughing, choked by the unhealthy air and the cold. Desperate conditions in the heart of a European capital “If you look inside here there’s smog, no electricity, no warm water,” says resident Hayat Ali. The 40-year-old migrant says he left his home in Pakistan’s Swat Valley eight months ago.
“I just tried to clean my hands in the cold water outside but they are still dirty. I cannot clean my clothes. It’s been one month since I could have a shower.” Most lie down in close quarters on filthy mattresses strewn across the icy, concrete floor. There are no toilets, nowhere to wash, and no privacy. Some say it gets so cold at night that no matter how hungry and exhausted they are, they can’t sleep. After they receive food from aid agencies once a day, migrants warm it up by the open fires they light by burning, wood, scraps, or any other material they can get their hands on. The ground outside the ware-
house is frozen and slippery, and inside there is garbage on the floor. The youngest migrant CNN encountered was 12 and alone, without gloves or a scarf to help shield him from the constant cold. These terrible conditions are a stone’s throw from the bustling cafes, restaurants and busy office buildings of a European capital city. Migrants use this icy thin plank to get from one hall to the back of the building where they have a minimum of privacy to go to the toilet. Aleksandar Vulin, Serbia’s Minister for Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, says the government has provided facilities
for all migrants in Serbia, and that those living outside official facilities are choosing to do so and are being irresponsible. Ivan Miskovic, from Serbia’s Commissariat for Refugees and Migration, says migrants living in abandoned warehouses in Belgrade are there because they are refusing to enter the asylum system.
