Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning.

  ‘Sopranos’ Actor Vincent Pastore found dead at his home aged 80


Vincent Pastore, a veteran actor who played mobsters and tough guys, and was best known for playing Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on “The Sopranos,” has died at the age of 80.


Bob McGowan, who had managed Pastore since his run on “The Sopranos,” stated that he learned of his death Saturday from another client and actor on the show, Vincent Curatola. He said that Pastore was found in his home on New York’s City Island after not being heard from for a few days.


McGowan had been trying to reach him regarding a potential job.


“He was the most loyal client and he always gave to charity,” McGowan said, “and he was the kind of guy who would help anybody, which is rare in my business.”


Pastore appeared in movies dating back to the 1980s and earned roles in major films including “Goodfellas” and “Awakenings,” both released in 1990.


He often played gangsters, with his most prominent role being his 30-episode run as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero, the close friend of Tony Soprano who becomes an FBI informant in “The Sopranos.”


Born in the Bronx, Pastore grew up in suburban New Rochelle, New York. He enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War and later attended Pace University. He is survived by his daughter, Renee Pastore.
