Its 6am. The radio alarm goes off and yet again the beleaguered, middle-aged weatherman, stranded in a time loop, is woken up by the drone of the Sonny and Cher song, I Got You Babe. Its repetitive harmonies are beginning to drive him mad, just as they did the day before, and the day before that. He thinks he is in hell and you can hardly blame him. The water in the shower is still freezing cold. The moment he ventures out onto the sidewalk, hes accosted by the same creepy insurance salesman whose manic grin seems even more grotesque than it was the day before. And he steps into the same puddle, too.
This is the nightmarish world conjured up in Harold Ramiss Groundhog Day (1993). In his most celebrated performance, Bill Murray plays the long-suffering meteorologist with a beguiling mix of sourness, petulance and wry bemusement. Audiences delight in his tribulations. He is like a character in an old slapstick silent movie who keeps on slipping on the same banana skin.

Footage has been released by authorities showing the incident on 22 January in Tampa.

Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin und der belarussische Staatschef Alexander Lukaschenko haben in Moskau über die Zusammenarbeit beider Länder in Wirtschafts- und Sicherheitsfragen gesprochen. Dabei unterstrich Lukaschenko nach russischen Agenturberichten die technologische Kooperation der zwei verbündeten, aber international isolierten Nachbarstaaten. Sie lasse die Sanktionen ins Leere laufen, die wegen des russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine verhängt worden sind, behauptete er.
Die Länder des Westens hätten Russland und Belarus nicht um ihr Potenzial in der Computertechnologie gebracht, sagte Lukaschenko bei dem Treffen in Putins Residenz Nowo-Ogarjowo. Auch produziere Belarus jetzt schon etwa 1.000 Bauteile für die zivilen russischen Flugzeuge MS-21 und Suchoi Superjet. Sein Land sei mit etwas russischer Hilfe auch in der Lage, Erdkampfflugzeuge herzustellen, sagte Lukaschenko. Solche Maschinen dienen der Unterstützung eigener Infanterie-Einheiten und können gegnerische Ziele am Boden angreifen.
