 Cameron Diaz reflects on her acting hiatus and having her first child aged 47 Cameron Diaz has reflected on her decade‑long break from acting and becoming a mother later in life.  Now 53, she explained in a recent interview that she was grateful for the time away, which allowed her to focus on her family with husband Benji Madden.  The couple share two children daughter Raddix, six, and son Cardinal, two. Diaz returned to acting last year and is set to star alongside Keanu Reeves in Apple TV’s Outcome, calling the opportunity “a thrill” and describing acting as “the best job in the world.” Diaz also spoke about embracing motherhood at 47, saying it is the most fulfilling part of her life, even if it comes with challenges.  She admitted she approaches parenting like any other mom, trying to stay strong and healthy.

FRENCH MINING FIRM TO BE TRIED OVER NIGER ABDUCTIONS. (PHOTO)


 French mining firm to be tried over Niger abductions


A French uranium mining company accused of partial responsibility for terrorists abducting some of its employees in Niger in 2010 is to be tried, sources following the case told AFP.


Nuclear energy company Areva, whose activities have since been taken over by Orano, has been accused of underestimating the threat of the terrorist group in the northern area of Niger where it was mining.


In 2010, armed men abducted seven Areva employees – five French nationals, a Togolese and a Madagascan – in Arlit in northern Niger.


One of the French captives, Francoise Larribe, was released five months later along with the Madagascan and Togolese nationals.


Firm accused of 'carelessness'


The four other hostages were only released in October 2013, shortly after their detention was claimed by the terrorist group, which is linked to Al-Qaeda.


Magistrates ordered the trial in late September, accusing the French firm of carelessness and not implementing enough security measures, leading to its staff being taken hostage, the sources said.


France's anti-terror prosecutor's office was against a trial and has appealed the decision, a judicial source said.


The group's lawyer declined to comment, but the head of the firm's legal department in 2022 denied any wrongdoing.


Local troop involvement in providing security


An investigation revealed that the group had signed a deal with Nigerien authorities for local troops to protect their mining sites, as well as the housing and movements of expatriate staff.


Olivier Morice, a lawyer for one of the former hostages Pierre Legrand, said it was "unacceptable to note that despite numerous warnings to Areva, nothing was seriously done to protect employees on site."
