Hyderabad: Global media and entertainment giant Warner Bros Discovery (WBD)'s newly set up global capability centre (GCC) in Hyderabad has emerged as its largest tech hub in India with the potential to grow to over a couple of thousand people over the next few years, top officials of the company said here. This is part of WBD's plans to grow its India tech presence to over 1,000 employees, including 400 in Bengaluru and about 100 in Pune, by the end of 2024. "We have about 500 people in Hyderabad and hope to end up with around 550 people here as we look to leverage more and more out of India. I can easily see us being a couple of thousand people in the next few years," said Jaideep Agarwal, India GBS Leader, Warner Bros Discovery. The 1 lakh sq ft Hyderabad facility, WBD's only GCC in India, has been set up with a capacity to house around 1,200-1,400 employees in hybrid mode and will serve as a centre of excellence (CoE) for technology, product, and business services for WBD, said Agarwal, who heads the Hyderabad GCC . Warner Bros. Discovery CTO Avi Saxena said from the direct-to-consumer point of view, the Hyderabad facility focuses on three key areas: commerce, consumer platforms, and data platforms. It has been set up as a centre of excellence (CoE) for AI-driven consumer analytics , streaming subscription management, and enterprise monetisation. While the commerce division handles customer billing, including monthly and annual subscriptions, the consumer platforms team manages customer accounts and profile creation across various partner platforms. The data platforms group processes reams of streaming data daily to power AI-driven customer personalisation across WBD's services, he explained. The Hyderabad centre is also emerging as the only hub for WBD's internally-focused tech teams and is actively beefing up its enterprise technology capabilities with an Enterprise AI CoE. The company is bringing in VP-level leads for data platform and AI practices early next year and will also handle enterprise service management, operations centre roles, and service desk functions, said Dave Duvall, Chief Information Officer, Warner Bros Discovery. The Hyderabad facility, along with Mumbai, is also set to play a key role in global content operations (GCO) to ensure seamless global distribution and content readiness for new streaming regions, including Asia Pacific. India already plays a significant role in WBD's GCO, managing post-production, quality control, metadata, and localisation for content distributed across over 3,000 platforms, 600 channels, and 18 streaming services in over 200 territories, the company said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Angelina Jolie never expected to hit all the notes. But finding the breath of Maria Callas was enough to bring things out of Jolie that she didn’t even know were in her. “All of us, we really don’t realize where things land in our body over a lifetime of different experiences and where we hold it to protect ourselves,” Jolie said in a recent interview. “We hold it in our stomachs. We hold it in our chest. We breathe from a different place when we’re nervous or we’re sad. “The first few weeks were the hardest because my body had to open and I had to breathe again,” she adds. “And that was a discovery of how much I wasn’t.” In Pablo Larraín’s “Maria,” which Netflix released in theaters Wednesday before it begins streaming on Dec. 11, Jolie gives, if not the performance of her career, then certainly of her last decade. Beginning with 2010’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” Jolie has spent recent years directing films while prioritizing raising her six children. “So my choices for quite a few years were whatever was smart financially and short. I worked very little the last eight years,” says Jolie. “And I was kind of drained. I couldn’t for a while.” But her youngest kids are now 16. And for the first time in years, Jolie is back in the spotlight, in full movie-star mode. Her commanding performance in “Maria” seems assured of bringing Jolie her third Oscar nomination. (She won supporting actress in 2000 for “Girl, Interrupted.”) For an actress whose filmography might lack a signature movie, “Maria” may be Jolie's defining role. Jolie's oldest children, Maddox and Pax, worked on the set of the film. There, they saw a version of their mother they hadn't seen before. “They had certainly seen me sad in my life. But I don’t cry in front of my children like that,” Jolie says of the emotion Callas dredged up in her. “That was a moment in realizing they were going to be with me, side by side, in this process of really understanding the depth of some of the pain I carry.” Jolie, who met a reporter earlier this fall at the Carlyle Hotel, didn't speak in any detail of that pain. But it was hard not to sense some it had to do with her lengthy and ongoing divorce from Brad Pitt, with whom she had six children. Just prior to meeting, a judge allowed Pitt’s remaining claim against Jolie, over the French winery Château Miraval, to proceed. On Monday, a judge ruled that Pitt must disclose documents Jolie’s legal team have sought that they allege include “communications concerning abuse.” Pitt has denied ever being abusive. The result of the U.S. presidential election was also just days old, though Jolie — special envoy for the United Nations Refugee Agency from 2012 to 2022 – wasn’t inclined to talk politics. Asked about Donald Trump’s win , she responded, “Global storytelling is essential,” before adding: “That’s what I’m focusing on. Listening. Listening to the voices of people in my country and around the world.” Balancing such things — reports concerning her private life, questions that accompany someone of her fame — is a big reason why Jolie is so suited to the part of Callas. The film takes place during the American-born soprano’s final days. (She died of a heart attack at 53 in 1977.) Spending much of her time in her grand Paris apartment, Callas hasn’t sung publicly in years; she’s lost her voice. Imprisoned by the myth she’s created, Callas is redefining herself and her voice. An instructor tells her he wants to hear “Callas, not Maria." The movie, of course, is more concerned with Maria. It’s Larrain’s third portrait of 20th century female icon, following “Jackie” (with Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy) and “Spencer” (with Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana). As Callas, Jolie is wonderfully regal — a self-possessed diva who deliciously, in lines penned by screenwriter Steven Knight, spouts lines like: “I took liberties all my life and the world took liberties with me.” Asked if she identified with that line, Jolie answered, “Yeah, yeah.” Then she took a long pause. “I’m sure people will read a lot into this and there’s probably a lot I could say but don’t want to feed into,” Jolie eventually continues. “I know she was a public person because she loved her work. And I’m a public person because I love my work, not because I like being public. I think some people are more comfortable with a public life, and I’ve never been fully comfortable with it.” When Larraín first approached Jolie about the role, he screened “Spencer” for her. That film, like “Jackie” and “Maria,” eschews a biopic approach to instead intimately focus on a specific moment of crisis. Larraín was convinced Jolie was meant for the role. “I felt she could have that magnetism,” Larraín says. “The enigmatic diva that’s come to a point in her life where she has to take control of her life again. But the weight of her experience, of her music, of her singing, everything, is on her back. And she carries that. It’s someone who’s already loaded with a life that’s been intense.” “There’s a loneliness that we both share,” Jolie says. “That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think people can be alone and lonely sometimes, and that can be part of who they are.” Larraín, the Chilean filmmaker, grew up in Santiago going to the opera, and he has long yearned to bring its full power and majesty to a movie. In Callas, he heard something that transfixed him. “I hear something near perfection, but at the same time, it’s something that’s about to be destroyed,” Larraín says. “So it’s as fragile and as strong as possible. It lives in both extremes. That’s why it’s so moving. I hear a voice that’s about to be broken, but it doesn’t.” In Callas’ less perfect moments singing in the film, Larraín fuses archival recordings of Callas with Jolie’s own voice. Some mix of the two runs throughout “Maria.” “Early in the process,” Jolie says, “I discovered that you can’t fake-sing opera.” Jolie has said she never sang before, not even karaoke. But the experience has left her with a newfound appreciation of opera and its healing properties. “I wonder if it’s something you lean into as you get older,” Jolie says. “Maybe your depth of pain is bigger, your depth of loss is bigger, and that sound in opera meets that, the enormity of it.” If Larraín’s approach to “Maria” is predicated on an unknowingness, he's inclined to say something similar about his star. “Because of media and social media, some people might think that they know a lot about Angelina,” he says. “Maria, I read nine biographies of her. I saw everything. I read every interview. I made this movie. But I don’t think I would be capable of telling you who she was us. So if there’s an element in common, it’s that. They carry an enormous amount of mystery. Even if you think that you know them, you don’t.” Whether “Maria” means more acting in the future for Jolie, she's not sure. “There's not a clear map,” she says. Besides, Jolie isn't quite ready to shake Callas. “When you play a real person, you feel at some point that they become your friend,” says Jolie. “Right now, it’s still a little personal. It’s funny, I’ll be at a premiere or I’ll walk into a room and someone will start blaring her music for fun, but I have this crazy internal sense memory of dropping to my knees and crying.” Jake Coyle, The Associated Press

Mexico’s president discussed migration and drug trafficking with US President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday — two issues he had raised as justification for raising import tariffs on America’s southern neighbor. Claudia Sheinbaum said she had had “an excellent conversation” with Trump, just hours after her economy minister warned that the cost to US companies of Trump’s tariffs would be “huge.” “We discussed Mexico’s strategy regarding the phenomenon of migration,” Sheinbaum said on X, adding she had told Trump that caravans of migrants “are not arriving at the northern border because they are being attended to in Mexico.” They also discussed “strengthening collaboration on security issues” as well as “the campaign we are conducting in the country to prevent the consumption of fentanyl,” the president said. Trump on Monday said he would impose tariffs of 25 percent on Mexican and Canadian imports and 10 percent on goods from China. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page. The Republican, who won an election in which illegal migration was a top issue, has vowed to declare a national emergency on border security and use the US military to carry out a mass deportation of undocumented migrants. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Wednesday some “400,000 jobs will be lost” in the United States if Trump followed through on his threat. He cited a study based on figures from US carmakers that manufacture in Mexico. – ‘A shot in the foot’ – Ebrard said the tariffs would also hit US consumers hard, citing the US market for pickup trucks — most of which are manufactured in Mexico. The tariffs, the minister said, would add $3,000 to the cost of a new vehicle. “The impact of this measure will chiefly be felt by consumers in the United States... That is why we say that it would be a shot in the foot,” Ebrard told reporters, speaking alongside Sheinbaum at her regular morning conference. Mexico and China have been particularly vociferous in their opposition to Trump’s threats of a trade war from day one of his second presidential term, which begins on January 20. Sheinbaum has declared the threats “unacceptable” and pointed out that Mexico’s drug cartels exist mainly to serve drug use in the United States. China has warned that “no one will win a trade war.” During his first term as president, Trump launched full-blown trade hostilities with Beijing, imposing significant tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese goods. China responded with retaliatory tariffs on American products, particularly affecting US farmers. The United States, Mexico and Canada are tied to a three-decade-old largely duty-free trade agreement, called the USMCA, that was renegotiated under Trump after he complained that US businesses, especially automakers, were losing out.

Get the poll delivered straight to your inbox with AP Top 25 Poll Alerts. Sign up here . DENVER (AP) — Travis Hunter made a pair of proclamations Thursday: He’s for sure entering the NFL draft after this season, but not until he sees Colorado all the way through the College Football Playoff — if the Buffaloes make it there. The first was already a given for the draft-eligible junior who plays both receiver and cornerback. The second is a risk-reward play for a projected high first-round pick who averages around 120 snaps a game. In years past, it took two extra postseason wins to capture a national title. Now, it could take up to four additional contests. That’s more of a chance to shine, but also more chance for an injury. “I don’t think nobody will opt out because you’re showing NFL teams that you’re more focused on something else, other than the team goal,” Hunter said of the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff. “So I don’t think players are going to opt out of the playoffs.” Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders chatted Thursday in a set of Zoom calls about turning around the program at Colorado (from 4-8 last season to bowl eligibility), chasing a Big 12 title, turning pro — Hunter acknowledged he will “for sure” — and, of course, the Heisman race, where Hunter is currently the odds-on favorite in an award each wants to see the other win. RELATED COVERAGE Coach Spencer Danielson says 12th-ranked Boise State must seize moment and respect 2-win Wyoming No. 12 Boise State heads to Wyoming hoping to maintain No. 4 seed in College Football Playoff No. 4 Penn State tries to keep playoff picture out of focus in prep for tough trip to Minnesota “He’s deserving of it, and if it’s between me and him, I want him to get it,” said Sanders, whose 16th-ranked Buffaloes (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 16 CFP ) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face Kansas (4-6, 3-4) this weekend. “He does a lot of amazing things that have never been done before.” Countered Hunter: “I know he wants me to win it, but I also want him to win as bad as I want to win it.” Hunter is a generational talent shining on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he has 74 catches for 911 yards and nine touchdowns. On defense, he has picked off three passes, even though teams are reluctant to throw his direction. Like he did in high school and now in college, he believes he can do both on the next level. But he understands the trepidation of the NFL team that picks him. “They don’t want their top pick to go down too early,” Hunter said. “I like when people tell me I can’t do it, because they just motivate me to continue to do what I want to do.” Sanders is turning in a stellar season as well with 27 touchdown passes, one away from tying Sefo Liufau for the most in a single season in program history. He’s projected to be one of the first QBs off the draft board. The future certainly looks bright at Colorado thanks to the legacies Sanders and Hunter under coach Deion Sanders. But that’s a point to ponder later. “I can’t think too much forward past Saturday,” Shedeur Sanders cracked. “The main thing is winning the Big 12 championship. That’s the main thing we’re focused on.” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Peaky Blinders star’s bold look leaves fans with big concern after past ‘struggles’
Dashon Bates, a 2011 Lima Senior graduate, returned to his alma mater Tuesday to talk with DECA students about entrepreneurship, career success and his new mobile application for young adults. LIMA — A new mobile application using artificial intelligence to track personal and professional growth traces its roots to Lima. Dashon Bates, a 2011 Lima Senior graduate turned technology entrepreneur, created the Izzy AI app to assist youth with the transition to adulthood. The app tracks user productivity and generates advice for how young adults can accomplish their personal and professional goals. Bates designed Izzy AI for adults ages 18 to 24, particularly those who need guidance or structure. The app urges users to “create your own dialogue about where you want to go,” said Bates, who visited his alma mater Tuesday to talk about entrepreneurship. Bates is a senior sales executive for a technology startup company in Columbus, a career he did not anticipate when he was a freshman at the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne. Bates eventually transferred to The Ohio State University, which granted him access to recruiters from major software companies such as Oracle. He’s since worked in sales for Dell Technologies, Amazon Web Services and the startup Verkada, which manages cloud-based security systems. Bates’s success in the business world inspired him to develop the Izzy AI app — and come home to Lima Senior, where he met with students from Chrissy Hood’s business class. “There’s nothing stopping you from being what I am today,” Bates said. Bates encouraged the class to identify a problem they’re passionate about solving — in his case, mentoring young adults through major life changes with Izzy AI. Bates then revealed his intent to pay to incorporate limited liability companies for the top two students. “The most important money I spent was the $250 to incorporate my LLC,” Bates said, “because once I did that, and they sent me the letter that it was a registered company in Ohio, it became real. I had to do something with it.” The same idea lies behind Bates’s creation of Izzy AI: Young adults need structure and encouragement to achieve their goals, lest they become aimless. “Every idea is a great idea,” Bates said, “but without structure, without execution, it doesn’t get done.”Trump taps Rollins as agriculture chief, completing proposed slate of Cabinet secretariesFollowing a report on the president-elect 's aide's adoring letters, Trump attacks the New York Times and its third-rate writer. In an overnight Truth Social tirade, Donald Trump attacked the failing New York Times, calling for an apology for its junk coverage of him and specifically targeting its correspondent Maggie Haberman. The president-elect wrote in the post, "Will the failing New York Times apologise to its readers for getting years of 'Trump' coverage so wrong?" They write such fake 'junk,' knowing full well how wrong it is, only to make fun of it, as quoted in a report by The Independent. The newspaper has a long history of rigorous fact-checking and has been transparent about its methods. Also Read : Is the war over and will Ukraine surrender? Russia is advancing in the country at the fastest rate since 2022 The rant came shortly after the publication of a NYT report by Haberman and her colleague Jonathan Swan, which revealed Trump's aide Natalie Harp had sent him a series of passionate letters, declaring in one: "You are all that matters to me." Harp, a former right-wing cable television host, had been on Trump's radar since 2019 after her story of cancer survival caught his attention. She later joined his staff in 2022 as a devoted aide, though she has no official title. It is uncertain what role, if any, Harp will have in the forthcoming administration.
