IMDb swaps Israel for "occupied Palestinian territories"

Observador8 September 2026 at 08:38

The IMDb platform, known for being a cinema and television database, made changes to how it indicates the location of productions associated with Israel. The information in the paid area of the site, aimed at professionals in the film industry, now in some cases indicates "Occupied Palestinian Territories" instead of simply "Israel".

This change affects how filmmakers, producers and other industry professionals can identify the geographical origin of projects and works on the platform's system. The alteration comes in a context of growing international debate about the designation of Israel and the territories in question.

IMDb is one of the world's main references for cinema and television information, being frequently used by industry professionals as a work tool for identifying credits, filming locations and productions.

It is not specified in the article how many productions were affected by this change or what criteria the platform used to determine in which cases the new designation applies.

Canada applies tariffs on more than 700 US products starting today

Canada began applying retaliation tariffs on over 700 American products, with customs duties of 15%, 25% or 50% affecting approximately $20 billion in US products, from steel to dairy products, electronics and pulp. This measure comes in response to the heavy 50% tariffs imposed by the United States on approximately $28 billion in Canadian products, after the collapse of trade negotiations between the two countries. The trade conflict began in February 2025, when US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of broad tariffs on Canadian products, including a 25% duty on most imports and 10% on Canadian energy products, invoking a national emergency related to immigration and drug trafficking. The strong integration of supply chains between Canada and the United States, particularly in the automotive, energy, agricultural and industrial sectors, increases the risk of prolonged trade dispute causing high costs for businesses and workers on both sides.

Credit for INSS retirees and pensioners: consignable margin rises and returns to 45%

The consignable margin for INSS retirees and pensioners returned to 45% after Provisional Measure 1,355/2026 lost validity on August 31, when it was not approved by the National Congress. The PM had reduced the margin from 45% to 40%, which decreased the total loan amount available to beneficiaries. With the loss of validity, the limit returned to being divided into 35% for traditional loans and financing with payroll deduction, 5% for consignable credit card and 5% for consignable benefit card. Dataprev will be responsible for adjusting the social security systems to recalculate the margin. The Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC/Loas) is not included in this modality.
