Richard Gere seen encouraging Third World countries occupation of Europe on a boat while he lives in a gated palace.
The exact location of the boat was not known. The video starts in the middle of his speech where he says “… everyone is doing okay now. There were on two boats in the middle of the ocean. One of the boats was turned back and taken by the Libyan Navy. We don’t know what happened to them. Two boats… they were rescued here. Probably hands on board would have been lost,” he was seen saying in the video.
I meditate every single day. The continuity of daily practice is something I both want and need. It’s a practice of patience and a commitment to looking at your mind. Most of us aren’t encouraged to do that – we just have a superficial engagement with the world.
For all the technological advances we have now, I still think things were better 30 years ago. We’re working too hard and not taking time out to consider what it really means to be human. We’re not taking advantage of having the technology to make our lives easier.
I have a tendency to wander off and do my own thing. I’m a bit of a dreamer, much to the annoyance of my friends. Anything that takes me away from taking myself too seriously – that stops the hardness and coldness which would otherwise make me feel separate to the rest of the universe – can only be a good thing.
He added: “So the people that you see here on this boat, they are only here because of the donations to Open Arms, to the work that Open Arms does. Now the most important thing for these people here is to be able to get to a free port. Be able to get off the boats, get on land and start a new life, taking care of and making a life for themselves. So please support us here.”
Open Arms is a non-profit non-governmental organization with one principal mission: to protect those who try to reach Europe by sea, fleeing from armed conflict, persecution, or poverty; and also to inform and educate on land so that those who migrate can make decisions with complete freedom and knowledge.
Every breath opens up a new possibility. I love getting older. My dad is still alive at 95. His mind is very clear and, physically, he’s a little slower but he’s still moving. I aspire to that sort of longevity. Clearly I’m not as physically flexible or strong as I was when I was a kid, but I think I am mentally flexible.
Julia [Roberts] and I will always be connected. Making Pretty Woman was an experience we’ll never forget and that was really all down to Garry [Marshall], the director – the film was his heart, his soul and his sentiment. We lost him last year and, when I look back now, I think all of the cast were somehow channelling a part of him when we were making the film.
It’s quite the time to be a woman in this world. I think if we’re to see radical change in the years to come it will be because of the current women’s movement. Women are able to see the long-term and are all-embracing, while I think men only see what’s directly in front of them.
