How Leni Riefenstahl tried to cover up her role in the Nazi regime
'She understands us'. That's how Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels described the German film-maker Leni Riefenstahl, who died in 2003, at the age of 101.
It turns out she did. Even though she insisted to the end that her award-winning films were only ever about the art, a new documentary – called 'Riefenstahl' – finds out how she covered up her central role in the Third Reich.

We're identical twins and we're BOTH called Marie – people say it shouldn't be legal but we love confusing people
Plus, the pranks they pull on people who don't know they are twins SEEING DOUBLE We're identical twins and we're BOTH called Marie – people say it shouldn't be legal but we love confusing people Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEING an identical twin can be confusing - but imagine how it feels when you also share the same name. This is the case for twin sisters Marie and Marie, who have been confusing internet users with their posts. 2 A set of identical twins claim to have been given the same name by their mum and are both called 'Marie' Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk On their @doublemaries account, the German sisters shared snaps of them together, and said: 'Told him I have a twin. 'We are named the same.' The blonde sisters document their travels and life together online, where they call themselves 'twin explorers' and 'double the fun, double the adventure.' Many people were baffled at their claim they were given the same name by their mum. One wrote: 'Is it allowed to be called the same? Like being twins.' Another added: 'God really said copy and paste.' And a third commented: 'Your poor partners gotta be soooo careful.' And one queried: 'I thought this is illegal.' In a video they joked that being a twin with the same name has some benefits, including the option of taking exams for one another. They are also able to prank people - including dates - who have no idea that they are twins. 'Want to tan' - Haley and Hanna Cavinder go full Baywatch in stunning red skintight one-piece bikinis on beach However, there are a number of drawbacks. Marie explained: "The problem is we have the same picture, name, date of birth and address. 'You don't even wanna know how many problems come up.' Not only have they had issues with post arriving for one another, but also in school, where teachers had to call them 'Marie 1' and 'Marie 2' to differentiate them. 2 The identical twins share their travel pictures online Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk One person asked if they had ever shared their frustration with their mum for giving them the same name. Marie said: 'Nope, we're actually thankful for the name.' They added that their mum also has no regrets about the name choice, but they said that it can be hard to feel like they have their own identities. One person replied: 'This would be the worst thing ever if one of you ever committed a crime.' The twins said in response: 'No it wasn't me.. it was Marie!!' Another pointed out: 'So you can take each other's driving test??' to which the girls joked: 'Maybe.'

Romeo Beckham moves on from ex-girlfriend Kim already after sparking family rift
Romeo Beckham has been papped with German model Caroline Daur in Paris just weeks after calling it quits with 'his world', DJ and model, Kim Turnbull Romeo Beckham appears to have moved on from his ex, Kim Turnbull, already after being spotted with a blonde model in Paris. The second eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 22, has found himself surrounded by rumours of a family feud after his older brother Brooklyn, 26, swerved the siblings' dad's 50th birthday. Brooklyn was reportedly 'uneasy' about Romeo dating Kim, who was once close friends with the hot sauce enthusiast, and felt his parents were 'favouring' his younger brother, who was seen beaming in snaps from David's birthday. Amid the fallout, Romeo and Kim called it quits two weeks ago and now it looks like it's all-change again after the latest snaps from the French capital. Sporting a shaved head, wearing a black Champion sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms, Romeo can be seen in the car with German model, Caroline, 30, leaving a bash at the swanky, Hotel Costes. Romeo jumped into a taxi with the influencer - who was rocking a strapless minidress and who has 5m followers on Instagram - and other pals after enjoying an evening together, before hot-footing it to Julia nightclub, where they stayed until the early hours. The pair sparked romance rumours as they went to great lengths not be snapped together as they left the venue separately. However, they then headed off in the same car alongside others, reports the Mail. It is said that Romeo and Caroline bonded over their love of Tennis, with both attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday. The Mirror has contacted Romeo's representative for comment. Pals say that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and ex Kim, and insist that their split has nothing to do with the bitter Beckham feud, which is said to have been sparked by their relationship. Brooklyn is said to have felt Kim's reasons for dating his brother were 'disingenuous' amid rumours he used to date the DJ. However, in a now deleted Instagram post Cruz Beckham denied Brooklyn was ever in a relationship with Kim. Speaking to the Mail about Romeo's split with the DJ, who the model once referred to his as his " world", a source said: "Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. "They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. "David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case." Victoria's approval of Kim is a stark contrast to how the artist formerly known as Posh Spice views her eldest son's wife, billionaire heiress Nicola. Victoria and David are said to be 'done' with their daughter-in-law, who has been accused of 'controlling' Brooklyn. However, Nicola's camp said she previously tried to encourage her husband to see his family, insisting 'she just wants the best for him'.
