Zohran Mamdani has turned down an 18% pay rise that would have brought his salary to $305,800 (£227,645).

“I haven’t knocked on anyone’s door in New York City and they’ve said their concern is that the mayor makes too little,” he told reporters on Thursday.

The same day, members of the city council voted to approve a pay raise for themselves and other officials.

The Odyssey is a 'colossal piece of cinema', critics say in rave reviews https://t.co/bzORD9TDxT

Director Christopher Nolan brought 60 Minutes to Fotokem in Burbank, California, to watch their artists assemble and color correct final release prints of “The Odyssey.” It's the only motion picture film lab in the world that still produces 70 millimeter prints. https://t.co/ohFEeNvO9N

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan stood inside The Odyssey’s storm, grabbed the radio and said, “Hit me”

“We had a boat that basically just had five giant fire hoses on it. You would see this boat come over and everyone would go, ‘Oh, fuck’”

“There was a lot of wind one day and the water wasn’t hitting the boat right. Chris basically called in an airstrike on his own position. He grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, ‘Scott, right here. Hit me’”

“This wall of water came and we were like, ‘Oh shit, here we go.’ When you see the movie, it looks like we’re getting pounded because we are”

[60 Minutes @60Minutes]

“The Odyssey” was filmed in 91 days and shot on two million feet of IMAX film, making it Christopher Nolan’s most ambitious movie yet. https://t.co/ygWwK519Er

Tom Holland reveals his mom didn’t realize how big his role was in The Odyssey

“She turned to me with tears streaming down her face and said, ‘I didn't realize you had such a big part’”

“I felt like I told them and I was away for months. I don't know what she thought I was doing”

Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister after receiving an extra 27 nominations from Labour MPs on Monday, taking his total to 349.

The additional nominations make it impossible for any other candidate to challenge for the Labour leadership.
