Bob Odenkirk Says a ‘Better Call Saul’ Revival Would Have to ‘Take Place Inside Prison’: ‘He’s Not Getting Out’

Bob Odenkirk Says a 'Better Call Saul' Revival Would Have to 'Take Place Inside Prison': 'He's Not Getting Out'

Bob Odenkirk is definitely open to stepping back into the shoes of his most famous character, but doesn't think it's likely to happen any time soon. "Better Call Saul" finished three years ago after the "Breaking Bad" prequel spin-off enjoyed an acclaimed six-season run — ending with Odenkirk's lawyer and con artist Saul Goodman being given an 86-year prison sentence for his crimes. More from Variety 'Nobody 2' Stunt Coordinator on Training Bob Odenkirk for That Duck Boat Fight Scene and How the Star's Childhood Inspired It Bob Odenkirk on Changing 'Nobody 2' Setting From Venice to a Rundown Resort and His Fitness Regimen: 'Trying to Turn a Comedy Writer's Body Into an Action Hero's' 'Nobody 2' Review: Bob Odenkirk's Geek Assassin Goes on a Family Vacation in a Sequel as Preposterously Vicious, and Fun, as 'Nobody' "That part turned my life around, and I've given more to that part than anything I've done," Odenkirk said while speaking on "Today" on Monday. "Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould created that show. They are some of the best writers who ever worked in TV. So if they were to think of something in that world, of course I would do it." But the actor — currently in cinemas with action sequel "Nobody 2" — admitted it's only a remote possibility, with the "Better Call Saul" creators busy on other things. "I think they've all moved on to some more amazing projects that you'll soon see," he said, adding that Saul's current circumstances would have to play a major part if any revival were to happen. "He's not getting out [of prison]. If there's another Saul show, it takes place inside prison." "Better Call Saul" ran from 2015-2022 and received 53 Emmy nominations, which is a record for the most nominations without a win. It also landed six Golden Globe nominations without winning an award. It's widely regarded as one of the greatest shows to have never won an Emmy.

Hundreds may have been exposed to rabies after bat colony found inside Grand Teton lodge

Hundreds may have been exposed to rabies after bat colony found inside Grand Teton lodge

Hundreds of people may have been exposed to rabies after a suspected bat colony was discovered inside a lodge in Grand Teton National Park in recent months, national park and state health officials warned. The bat colony was found over the past few months in cabins at theJackson Lake Lodge, a popular eco-hotel and historic landmark located in Grand Teton National Park, according to theNational Park Service. The agency hasissued a noticefor people who were guests at the lodge between May 5 and July 27. Since June 2, the National Park Service said the Grand Teton Lodge Company — the concessionaire that operates the Jackson Lake Lodge — has received eight reports involving overnight guests who may have been exposed to bats in their rooms. Further investigation revealed that the colony was nesting in an attic space above those eight guest rooms. The rooms were closed as a precaution while public health officials investigate and provide recommendations for mitigation, according to the National Park Service. The agency noted that there was no immediate threat to the public. "Wyoming Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are leading the effort to coordinate with the affected guests' local public health officials, who will conduct rabies risk assessments," the agency added. State health officials are reaching out to guests for rabies risk assessments and will determine whether they meet the criteria for preventive treatment, the National Park Service said. Those who meet the risk criteria will be put in contact with the "appropriate provider in their home state for preventive treatment," according to the agency. Guests have been urged to contact the Grand Teton Lodge Company to confirm if they stayed in one of the potentially affected rooms where the bats were found, the National Park Service said. North Carolina fox attack:Rabid fox attacks 2 people in same day State and local public health officials told theWyoming Public Radiothat they were tracking down people from 38 states and seven countries who may have been exposed to rabies. Health officials were also contacting hotel employees, but noted that workers are believed to be less at risk compared to guests who stayed in the rooms, according to the radio network. State health officials said they're aware of about 250 reservations for impacted rooms between May and July, and estimated that up to 500 people had stayed in the cabins, according to theAssociated Press. "Although there were a lot of people exposed in this incident, one positive about it is that we know who 100% of those people are," Travis Riddell, director of the Teton County Public Health Department, told Wyoming Public Radio. "People in the community in general don't need to be concerned about this particular incident." Some dead bats were discovered, which is likely only a small sample size of the colony, and sent to the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory for examination, the AP reported. As of Aug. 15, state health officials said none of the bats found in the affected rooms had tested positive for rabies, according to the AP. The Wyoming Department of Health and Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's requests for comment on Aug. 17. The National Park Service said bats are an "important part in maintaining the health of the ecosystem" at Grand Teton National Park. Bats help with natural pest control by eating insects — such as mosquitoes — every night, according to the agency. The most common species of bats found in Grand Teton National Park are little brown bats, followed by big brown, silver-haired, hoary, Yuma, long-legged, and long-eared bats, the agency said. Other bats, including California myotis and western small-footed bats, have also been found at the park. The National Park Service noted that less than one percent of bats have rabies and has advised park visitors to follow guidelines toavoid exposure to rabies: Observe wildlife from a safe distance. Do not touch or pet wild animals. Alert any park official about unusual behavior in animals. Contact the local health department or a park ranger if someone is attacked, bitten, or scratched by a wild or domestic animal. Immediately wash a bite or scratch for 15 minutes with warm water and soap. The bat colony found at Jackson Lake Lodge is the first mass rabies exposure event in Teton County since 2017, according to Wyoming Public Radio andJackson Hole News and Guide. Thirteen people were preemptively treated after a bat colony was found atAMK Ranch, a research facility in Grand Teton National Park, the media outlet reported at the time. "Prior to 2017, rabies in Teton County was practically unheard of, since then rabies in bats has been confirmed almost annually," according to theTeton County Public Health Department. Why rabies is dangerous to humans, pets:Rabid bats sparked a public health warning in Illinois. Rabies is a viral disease that can spread to people and pets through the bites or scratches of an infected animal, according to the National Park Service andCDC. In Wyoming, the National Park Service said rabies are most commonly found in bats and skunks. Though rabies is fatal, the CDC says that it is a preventable disease, and has advised people to receive a pre-exposure vaccination for increased protection, vaccinate pets, and immediately seek medical care if exposed. The disease mostly impacts the central nervous system, and causes severe brain disease and death if medical care is not received before the onset of symptoms, according to the National Park Service. It can take weeks to months for rabies symptoms to appear after the initial exposure, the agency said. The National Park Service added that bats are a "special concern" for rabies exposure due to the small size of their scratches and bites, which may not be noticeable to people. "Even though rabies in animals is rare, animal exposure, especially involving bats, is treated very seriously due to the fatal outcome if the animal is rabid," according to the agency.

Thousands of Palestinians leave Gaza City fearing Israeli offensive

Thousands of Palestinians leave Gaza City fearing Israeli offensive

By Nidal al-Mughrabi CAIRO (Reuters) -Fearing an imminent Israeli ground offensive, thousands of Palestinians have left their homes in eastern areas of Gaza City, now under constant Israeli bombardment, for points to the west and south in the shattered territory. Israel's plan to seize control of Gaza City has stirred alarm abroad and at home where tens of thousands of Israelis held some of the largest protests since the war began, urging a deal to end the fighting and free the remaining 50 hostages held by Palestinian militants in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The planned offensive has spurred Egyptian and Qatari ceasefire mediators to step up efforts in what a source familiar with the talks with Hamas militants in Cairo said could be "the last-ditch attempt." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Gaza City as Hamas' last big urban bastion. But, with Israel already holding 75% of Gaza, the military has warned that expanding the offensive could endanger hostages still alive and draw troops into protracted and deadly guerrilla warfare. Dani Miran, whose son Omri was taken hostage on October 7, said he fears the consequences of an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza City. "I'm scared that my son would be hurt," he said in a Reuters interview in Tel Aviv on Monday. In Gaza City, many Palestinians have also been calling for protests soon to demand an end to a war that has demolished much of the territory and wrought a humanitarian disaster, and for Hamas to intensify talks to avert the Israeli ground offensive. An Israeli armoured incursion into Gaza City could displace hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom have been uprooted multiple times during the war. Ahmed Mheisen, Palestinian shelter manager in Beit Lahiya, a war-devastated suburb abutting eastern Gaza City, said 995 families had departed the area in recent days for the south. With the Israeli offensive looming, Mheisen put the number of tents needed for emergency shelter at 1.5 million, saying Israel had allowed only 120,000 tents into the territory during a January-March ceasefire. The U.N. humanitarian office said last week 1.35 million people were already in need of emergency shelter items in Gaza. "I am heading south because I need to ease my mental state," Mousa Obaid, a Gaza City resident, told Reuters Television. "I do not want to keep moving left and right endlessly. There is no life left, and as you can see, living conditions are hard, prices are high, and we have been without work for over a year and a half. It is very, very difficult." A protest by unions is scheduled for Thursday in Gaza City, and people took to social media platforms vowing to participate, which will raise pressure on Hamas. The last round of indirect ceasefire talks ended in late July in deadlock with the sides trading blame for its collapse. Sources close to the Cairo talks said Egyptian and Qatari mediators had met with leaders of Hamas, allied militant group Islamic Jihad and other factions with little progress reported. Hamas told mediators it was ready to resume talks about a U.S.-proposed 60-day truce and release of half the hostages, one official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters, but also for a wider deal that would end the war. DIPLOMATIC DEADLOCK Israel says it will agree to cease hostilities if all the hostages are released and Hamas lays down its arms - the latter demand publicly rejected by the Islamist group until a Palestinian state is established. A Hamas official told Reuters on Monday the group rejects Israeli demands to disarm or expel its leaders from Gaza. Sharp differences also appear to remain over the extent of an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and how humanitarian aid will be delivered around the enclave, where malnutrition is rife and aid groups warn of unfolding famine. Underscoring the gaps in talks on a ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform on Monday: "We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!! The sooner this takes place, the better the chances of success will be." On Saturday, the Israeli military said it was preparing to help equip Gazans with tents and other shelter equipment ahead of relocating them from combat zones to the south of the enclave. It did not provide further details on quantities or how long it would take to get the equipment into the enclave. "Existing tents where people are living (in the south) have worn out and won't protect people against rainwater. There are no new tents in Gaza because of the Israeli restrictions on aid at the border crossings," Palestinian economist Mohammad Abu Jayyab told Reuters. He said some Gaza City families had begun renting property and shelters in the south and moved in their belongings. "Some people learned from previous experience, and they don't want to be taken by surprise. Also, some think it is better to move earlier to find a space," Abu Jayyab added. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. More than 61,000 Palestinians have since been killed in Israel's ensuing air and ground war in Gaza, according to local health officials who do not distinguish between fighters and non-combatants. Five more Palestinians have died of malnutrition and starvation in the past 24 hours, the Gaza health ministry said on Monday, raising the number of people who died of those causes to 263, including 112 children, since the war started. Israel disputed the figures provided by the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.

7 killed in pool hall shooting weeks after massacre at different pool hall

7 killed in pool hall shooting weeks after massacre at different pool hall

Gunmen shot dead at least seven people at a pool hall in the Ecuadoran city of Santo Domingo, police said Sunday, in the country's latest gruesome massacre amid soaring gang violence. "Seven people died from gunshot wounds" at a pool hall in the nightlife district of Santo Domingo, about 93 miles west of the capital Quito, national police said in a WhatsApp group with reporters. Police said they were investigating the incident and hunting for those responsible. Purported security camera footage of the massacre circulating online showed several attackers wearing black masks open fire on two men standing at the entrance to the pool hall, sending pedestrians scrambling. The gunmen then entered the hall and continued shooting, fleeing before a police vehicle approached. AFP has not yet independently verified the footage. According to local media, preliminary investigations indicated that the killings may be related to organized crime in the region. Asimilar pool hall massacretook place last month in the southwestern tourist city of General Villamil Playas, leaving at least nine dead. And in April,armed men killed 12 peopleat a cockfighting ring around 30 kilometers from Santo Domingo. Once considered a bastion of peace in Latin America, Ecuador has been plunged into crisis after years of expansion by transnational cartels that use its ports to ship drugs to the United States and Europe. Drug trafficking organizations have been multiplying in Ecuador, where the homicide rate rose from six per 100,000 residents in 2018 to 38 per 100,000 in 2024. Between January and May, there were more than 4,051 homicides, according to official figures. Analysts say it is the most violent start to a year in the country's recent history. President Daniel Noboa's government has promised to crack down on crime, but despite widespread operations and constant states of emergency, there has been little reduction in the violence. Last weekend alone, 14 people were killed in massacres in the troubled province of Guayas, one of four provinces where Noboa recently declared a state of emergency to combat gang violence. In late July, armed attackers killed at least 17 civilians, including a child, and wounded 14 in two attacks overnight in  El Empalme, Ecuador, authorities said. Gangs vying for control of drug trafficking routes in Ecuador have taken advantage of the country's strategic location, its U.S.-dollar-based economy, and the corruption of some authorities. Criminal gang violence continues unabated following the recapture in June of the country's biggest drug lord,Adolfo Macias, alias Fito, after his escape from a maximum-security prison in 2024. The Ecuadoran government last monthextradited Maciasto the United States, and hepleaded not guilty. Aseven-count indictmentunsealed in Brooklyn charges Macías, who leads the gang Los Choneros, and an unidentified co-defendant with international cocaine distribution, conspiracy and weapons counts, including smuggling firearms from the U.S. Last year, the U.S. classified Los Choneros as one of the most violent gangs and affirmed its connection to powerfulMexican drug cartelswho threaten Ecuador and the surrounding region. Earlier this year, a leader of one of Ecuador's biggest crime syndicates, Los Lobos, wasarrested at his homein the coastal city of Portoviejo. Carlos D, widely known by his alias El Chino, was the second-in-command of Los Lobos and "considered a high-value target," the armed forces said in a statement. TheU.S. last year declared Los Lobosto be the largest drug trafficking organization in Ecuador. According to official figures, 73 percent of the world's cocaine production passes through Ecuadorian ports. In 2024, the country seized a record 294 tons of drugs, mainly cocaine, compared to 221 tons in 2023. Alaska Sen.
