      <title>Titanic sub latest updates: US navy detected likely implosion of Titan submersible hours after it began mission – live</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Anomaly ‘consistent with an implosion’ was picked up near where craft was operating when it lost communications&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/titanic-sub-titan-debris-field-search-area-latest"&gt;Full story: Titan sub crew thought to have instantly died in implosion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;A popular Mexican travel Youtuber, &lt;strong&gt;Alan&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Estrada&lt;/strong&gt; has recalled his trip down to visit the wreck of the Titanic aboard the Titan submersible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Estrada told &lt;a href="https://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/c89llqp5xego"&gt;the BBC&lt;/a&gt; that everyone who joined on the trip “were fully aware of the risks we were taking”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I never felt unsafe. I was fully aware of the risks and I knew that if something happened, if there was a failure in those depths and the submersible imploded, we probably wouldn’t even notice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We continue to come together for our friends, their families and the ideals of The Explorers Club, and the cause of safe scientific exploration of extreme environments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is good cause for hope, and we are making it more hopeful.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/jun/22/titanic-sub-live-updates-search-titan-missing-submarine-submersible-rescue-us-coast-guard-latest-news"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Multnomah county is suing 17 companies for the fatal heatwave, seeking billions to upgrade public services and infrastructure&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oregon’s most populous county on Thursday sued major oil and gas companies over a deadly 2021 heatwave that killed dozens of people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The defendants should be held responsible, the lawsuit alleges, for their role in fueling the climate crisis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/oregon-big-oil-lawsuit-heatwave-heat-dome-pacific-northwest"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Biden announces raft of new deals with Modi amid calls to address human rights concerns</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/joe-biden-narendra-modi-visit-washington</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A handful of lawmakers boycotted the Indian prime minister’s address to Congress, while protesters gathered near the White House&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joe Biden has pronounced the US-India relationship never stronger and rolled out a series of new business deals on the second day of the Indian prime minister’s state visit, but Narendra Modi’s trip has been marked with controversy as many call for Biden to address India’s continuing crackdown on religious and press freedoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An official state visit is the highest-ranked diplomatic invitation extended to a foreign leader and is a sign of the US president’s national security priorities as his administration courts India as a partner against China.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/joe-biden-narendra-modi-visit-washington"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nanjiao weather station in southern Beijing hits 41.1C, half a degree higher than the station’s previous monthly record&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Beijing logged its hottest June day since records began on Thursday, the national weather service said, as swathes of northern China sweltered in 40-degree heat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Friday the capital upgraded its warning for hot weather to “red” - the highest in a colour-coded alert system - saying most parts of the city could roast in temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). China has a four-tier weather warning system, with red the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/23/beijing-weather-hottest-june-day-since-records-began-heatwave-northern-china"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Number worldwide expected to double, with rises in every country and across every age group&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The number of adults living with diabetes worldwide will more than double by 2050, according to research that blames rapidly rising obesity levels and widening health inequalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New estimates predict the number will rise from 529 million in 2021 to more than 1.3 billion in 2050. No country is expected to see a decline in its diabetes rate over the next 30 years. The findings &lt;a href="https://www.thelancet.com/series/global-inequity-diabetes"&gt;were published&lt;/a&gt; in The Lancet and The Lancet Diabetes &amp;amp; Endocrinology journals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/22/more-than-13bn-adults-will-have-diabetes-by-2050-study-predicts"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Family members aided Republican congressman after he was charged with fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two people who guaranteed George Santos’s $500,000 bail after the Republican congressman was &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/10/george-santos-court-federal-charges"&gt;charged&lt;/a&gt; with 13 counts of fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds have been revealed to be his father and an aunt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The revelation that Gercino dos Santos Jr and Elma Preven were behind Santos’s bail solves a running mystery that fascinated Washington-watchers and also an American public obsessed with the travails of a politician famous for playing fast and loose with the truth.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/george-santos-bail-person-to-be-revealed"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The former US president asked for a new trial after the jury awarded Carroll $5m, saying the damages were excessive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Donald Trump’s push for a new trial in the civil case in which a Manhattan jury last month found the former US president sexually abused and defamed the writer E Jean Carroll is “magical thinking”, Carroll’s lawyers said on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, on 8 June asked for a new trial after the jury awarded Carroll $5m, saying the damages were excessive because the jury did not find she was raped and because the alleged conduct did not cause her a diagnosed mental injury.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/trump-sexual-abuse-damages-new-trial-e-jean-carroll"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Four more people just died in an e-bike fire. If nothing changes, they won’t be the last</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/ebike-battery-fire-new-york-gig-workers</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Battery fires put gig workers at particular risk – but safer alternatives are often out of reach&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Twisted mountains of charred bikes, scooters, wheels, and battery casings. The distinctive, acidic smell of burnt chemicals. And where delivery workers once stood in line chatting while waiting for repairs, now blackened ruins and a somber crowd of neighbors behind police tape. This was the scene – one that’s become horrifyingly common – after yet another deadly lithium battery fire in New York City.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Four people, including a 71-year-old man and 65-year-old woman, died in the inferno just after midnight on Tuesday – the latest victims of a &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/14/new-york-e-bike-batteries-fires-delivery-workers"&gt;growing problem&lt;/a&gt; that’s now claimed the lives of 13 people this year in the nation’s densest city, compared with six such deaths in all of 2022. The fires are caused by the cheap, dangerous electric batteries powering the two-wheeled devices that the city’s 65,000 delivery workers use to meet the demands of Silicon Valley gig platforms. And without decisive action, more carnage is guaranteed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/ebike-battery-fire-new-york-gig-workers"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>These 1,572 US politicians have helped ban abortion since Roe fell. They’re mostly men</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2023/jun/22/abortion-ban-politicians-who-voted-for-restrictions-who-are-they-men-women</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;These are the faces of lawmakers and governors whose votes helped pass bans on abortion&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s been one year since the US supreme court ended the constitutional right to abortion. The procedure is now prohibited in 14 states and restricted in six more, leaving large swaths of the midwest and south without access to basic reproductive care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To mark the first anniversary of the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, the case that overturned Roe v Wade, the Guardian has created a visual directory of state legislators who embraced the opportunity to restrict abortion access. These are the faces of lawmakers and governors whose votes helped pass bans on abortion at conception or after six weeks, before most women know they are pregnant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2023/jun/22/abortion-ban-politicians-who-voted-for-restrictions-who-are-they-men-women"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘You can’t pour from an empty cup’: US violence prevention workers tell of burnout</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/violene-prevention-worker-burnout</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Community workers say life on frontlines can be increasingly tough due to trauma, unpredictable hours and lack of funding&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the past 24 years, Jose Gomez has been on call at any hour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gomez works as a community violence interrupter in Stockton, California, focused on extracting high-risk youth from the cycles of violence in their own neighborhoods. Sometimes he’s called to go to a hospital or a crime scene.&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;Sometimes he’s in the aftermath of a shooting to guide survivors and their families away from retaliation. Sometimes he mediates conflicts before they turn violent. Sometimes he helps clients find jobs, buy work attire, relocate, enroll in school, get a driver’s license or talk through their problems.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/violene-prevention-worker-burnout"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>What is affirmative action designed to do – and what has it achieved?</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/22/affirmative-action-explainer</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The US supreme court is expected to deliver its ruling imminently, and could ban the use of affirmative-action policies&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The US supreme court could be poised to ban the use of affirmative action policies in college admissions as soon as Thursday. The court, which is expected to deliver its ruling either this week or next, will determine whether race-conscious admissions violate the equal-protection clause under the US constitution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Envisioned as a tool to help remedy historical discrimination and create more diverse student bodies, affirmative action policies have permitted hundreds of colleges and universities to factor in students’ racial backgrounds during the admissions process. That consideration is supplementary, and taken in tandem with other factors such as applicants’ test scores, grades and extracurricular activities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jun/22/affirmative-action-explainer"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Saturday Night Live: the 10 best sketches from the 48th season</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jun/22/saturday-night-live-skit-snl-best-48-season</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;An abridged season, due to the writers’ strike, offered up an uneven selection of skits but also some undeniable highlights&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the weeks leading up to what should have been the final three episodes of Season 48 of Saturday Night Live, the writing was on the wall – or, rather, the writing &lt;em&gt;wasn’t&lt;/em&gt; on the wall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By May, the Writers Guild of America strike was all but certain, which meant the show would be put on indefinite hiatus. No one expected the issue to be resolved in time for the season to have a proper conclusion – would-be hosts Pete Davidson, Kieran Culkin and Jennifer Coolidge were left hanging – and now, almost two months later, the fight is still ongoing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jun/22/saturday-night-live-skit-snl-best-48-season"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Kim Petras: Feed the Beast review  | Alexis Petridis's album of the week</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/kim-petras-feed-the-beast-review</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Island)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lurching between well-worn current chart trends and 90s European pop-dance with flimsy melodies and frightful lyrics, Petras and her songwriters all miss the mark&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are high times for Kim Petras. Previously a marginal figure in the world of pop – she attracted a degree of notoriety for 2022’s spectacularly potty-mouthed EP Slut Pop – she was catapulted into mainstream consciousness when she appeared on Sam Smith’s global chart-topper Unholy. It made Petras the first openly transgender artist to have a US No 1 and the first trans artist to win a major category Grammy. There followed other markers of the German pop star’s newfound celebrity. In May, she appeared on the red carpet at the Met Gala, clad in Marc Jacobs, and was announced as one of four cover models for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If only the music on her major label debut album was as interesting and innovative as its author is, or even as diverting as Unholy, the gothic theatricality of which sounded markedly different to any other recent No 1. It’s tacked on to the end of Feed the Beast, but its presence only serves to underline that there’s nothing else like it here either. Instead, the album occasionally lunges towards some well-worn current pop trends. The clipped 80s sound familiar from the Weeknd’s Blinding Lights and subsequent hits including Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits and Harry Styles’ As It Was gets another airing on Minute. Alone, meanwhile, fits with the vogue for borrowing huge chunks of immediately recognisable old hits by sticking a trap beat under Alice Deejay’s pop-trance smash Better Off Alone, a trick already pulled on Wiz Khalifa’s 2008 single Say Yeah.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/23/kim-petras-feed-the-beast-review"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘It’s like tapping into the animating energy of the universe’ – Guardian readers’ best albums of 2023 so far</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/22/guardian-readers-best-albums-of-2023-so-far</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;From melancholy pop to jubilant rap, potent African pop and accessible jazz, Guardian readers worldwide pick out the new music that has most impressed them so far this year&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Holden’s label Border Community introduced me to electronic music that I probably would never have listened to otherwise. Over the years, he seems to have moved away from club-based music in favour of a more organic, human sound. It’s been almost 20 years since the creation of Border Community and this album is a celebration of that. Each track feels like a nod to parts of his previous discography. The percussion on most tracks is very faint and makes the album feel like a lost memory. The only track where the beat hits with a thud is Worlds Collide Mountains Form, which sounds like a band playing by the fire, feeding off each other in a trance-like state. To me, that signals where James is now and he wants you to join in. &lt;strong&gt;Ross, 35, Norwich &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/22/guardian-readers-best-albums-of-2023-so-far"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk say they’re up for a cage match. Who would win?</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/22/mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk-cage-match</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Zuckerberg has been competing in Brazilian jiu-jitsu; Musk has size on his side – and  a move called ‘the Walrus’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the red corner, the world’s richest person, and in the blue corner, the world’s richest millennial: Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have agreed to a cage match, after Musk jokingly suggested the bout in response to efforts by Meta to launch a Twitter competitor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post about Meta’s rumoured Threads app. The app, previously known inside Instagram as Project 92 and Barcelona, has been pitched to celebrities and influencers as a “stable place to build and grow” their audiences.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/22/mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk-cage-match"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Just two people – but millions of inhabitants: the tiny Cornish island where nature is thriving</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/22/you-notice-how-full-of-life-it-is-how-looe-island-became-a-wildlife-success-story-aoe</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Looe Island is a case study in how to boost biodiversity, a place where the wardens, Claire Lewis and her partner, Jon Ross, are the only residents, alongside gulls, godwits and comma butterflies&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With its driftwood, capsized boat and crystal-clear waters, Looe Island looks more like a scene from Robinson Crusoe than the well-trodden coastline of Cornwall. Few realise that only a mile from Looe – a seaside town whose narrow streets spill over with tourists in the summer months – there is a wildlife sanctuary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Cornwall’s only marine nature reserve, birds nest in thickets of trees, sheep graze grassy slopes and seals seek refuge in the island’s rocky bays. Quiet and tranquil, Looe Island is nearly deserted – apart from two wildlife wardens whose job it is to care for the land so its biodiversity flourishes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coastal grassland on the island.

      <title>Happy endings: the Dining Across the Divide pair who became ‘soul sisters’</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/22/happy-endings-the-dining-across-the-divide-pair-who-became-soul-sisters</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;When we arranged for Anne and Katie to meet, we expected them to clash on issues such as immigration. Instead, says Katie, it’s been like discovering a long-lost twin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Anne was matched with Katie for &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/nov/25/dining-across-the-divide-dont-take-this-the-wrong-way-but-people-relate-to-the-english-differently" title=""&gt;Dining Across the Divide&lt;/a&gt; in 2021, they sounded quite far apart on immigration. They met in Argyll and Katie arrived “with the saltire on her mask”. Anne remembers “expecting to meet a Tory Brexiter. Not someone as lovely as Katie. I’m delighted.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Katie said back then: “Anne and I were like soul sisters.” And now – a few days after a walk they had near Anne’s home in Dunoon – she amends that. “It’s like discovering a long-lost sister; not even a sister, a twin. There are very few things we disagree on. I can’t think of any other friend I have who’s so in tune. It’s kind of odd, meeting somebody in the way we did and finding we’re so perfectly matched.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/22/happy-endings-the-dining-across-the-divide-pair-who-became-soul-sisters"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>How we met: ‘He cooked me pork chops for dinner – and I was sold’</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/22/how-we-met-he-cooked-me-pork-chops-for-dinner-and-i-was-sold</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Danielle, 61, and Peter, 54, met online in the late 90s and dated long-distance. They have two sons and live in New York&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long before internet dating was commonplace, Danielle found unexpected romance online. In 1997, she was working as a teacher in New York. “I was taking my class to Paris on a trip and my colleague posted a message on a French &lt;a href="https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/bulletin-board-system-BBS"&gt;bulletin board&lt;/a&gt; to ask about the weather before we went.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When they returned, her colleague told her someone had replied, and suggested that she contact him. “Peter had responded to say: ‘When in Paris, who cares what the weather is?’ She convinced me to write back and let him know how the trip had gone.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/22/how-we-met-he-cooked-me-pork-chops-for-dinner-and-i-was-sold"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘They forced me to carry my baby to the end’: women of color on being denied abortion</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/post-roe-abortion-women-of-color</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Anya Cook and Samantha Casiano were forced to navigate pregnancies with complications in post-Roe America&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pregnancy has long been riskier than abortion in America. About &lt;a href="https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2021/oct/severe-maternal-morbidity-united-states-primer"&gt;650-750 US women die during pregnancy each year&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2020/nov/maternal-mortality-maternity-care-us-compared-10-countries#:~:text=Key%20Findings%3A%20The%20U.S.%20has,mortality%20rate%20among%20developed%20countries."&gt;highest maternal death rate in the industrialized world&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comparatively, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/27/roe-v-wade-overturned-maternal-mortality-rate-will-rise"&gt;very few women die from abortion &lt;/a&gt;or suffer complications: two women died from &lt;a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/11/what-the-data-says-about-abortion-in-the-u-s-2/"&gt;abortion complications in 2018&lt;/a&gt;. So, when Roe v Wade was overturned last summer, there were fears that deaths and complications from pregnancy would shoot up – particularly among women of color.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/post-roe-abortion-women-of-color"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Russia-Ukraine war at a glance: what we know on day 485 of the invasion</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/23/russia-ukraine-war-at-a-glance-what-we-know-on-day-485-of-the-invasion</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Russia killed 136 children in Ukraine last year, says UN report; Kyiv accuses Moscow’s forces of hiding bodies in aftermath of Kakhovka dam breach &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/russia+ukraine"&gt;See all our Russia-Ukraine war coverage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, has called out Russia for killing 136 children in Ukraine&lt;/strong&gt; in 2022 and added its armed forces to a global list of offenders, according to a report to the UN security council. The UN also verified that Russian armed forces and affiliated groups injured 518 children and carried out 480 attacks on schools and hospitals. The forces used 91 children as human shields, according to the report. Guterres was “particularly shocked” by the high number of child casualties, he said in the report, while also saying he was disturbed by the high number of offences against children by Ukrainian forces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russia has formed special groups to collect and hide bodies of people killed in the aftermath of Kakhovka dam breach&lt;/strong&gt; in southern Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy said. The Ukrainian president said in a video address on Thursday that the situation in Russian-occupied parts of the region was “catastrophic to put it mildly”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ukraine’s prime minister has said its &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/jun/22/russia-ukraine-war-live-slow-pace-of-counteroffensive-setting-conditions-for-future-main-effort-usthinktank-says?page=with:block-6494338c8f08657ec7320967#block-6494338c8f08657ec7320967"&gt;counteroffensive will take time&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; but he is optimistic about its success. Denys Shmyhal’s comments, on the sidelines of a Ukraine reconstruction conference in London on Thursday, came after Zelenskiy said the counteroffensive &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/21/volodymyr-zelenskiy-admits-ukrainian-counter-offensive-going-slower-than-desired"&gt;might be going “slower than desired”&lt;/a&gt; but he would not needlessly risk soldiers’ lives to meet international expectations. Moscow had suggested there appeared to have been a break in the counteroffensive’s intensity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Foreign donors pledged €60bn of new financial support for Ukraine&lt;/strong&gt;, the UK said, as the international conference in London aimed at funding the country’s reconstruction closed. The commitments from governments and international organisations targeted supporting Ukraine in the short- and medium-term, the British foreign minister, James Cleverly, said on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russia fired cruise and ballistic missiles and strike drones&lt;/strong&gt; at targets in Ukraine early on Thursday, causing damage in the cities of Odesa and Kryvyi Rih, Ukrainian officials said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russian-backed officials in southern Ukraine have &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/russia-accuses-ukraine-uk-missiles-strike-bridge-to-crimea"&gt;accused Kyiv of using British-supplied long-range missiles&lt;/a&gt; to strike a bridge&lt;/strong&gt; connecting Kherson province with the Crimean peninsula. A series of photos and videos circulating on Telegram on Thursday showed a large crater on the bridge, and debris littering the roads. There were no casualties reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ukraine and Moldova have made good progress on their journey to becoming members of the EU&lt;/strong&gt;, a European commissioner has said. The EC reportedly made clear that Ukraine had a way to go to complete the seven steps the EU outlined last year when it granted Kyiv the status of a candidate for membership.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Russia is 99.9% certain to quit a UN-brokered deal on the safe wartime passage of Black Sea grain&lt;/strong&gt; in July as it no longer needs Ukrainian ports to export ammonia, a senior Ukrainian diplomat has said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Volodymyr Zelenskiy&lt;/strong&gt; reportedly said Ukrainian spies believed Russia was plotting an incident to release radiation from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant in southern Ukraine, Europe’s largest nuclear plant, an allegation denied by the Kremlin.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/23/russia-ukraine-war-at-a-glance-what-we-know-on-day-485-of-the-invasion"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Russia accuses Ukraine of using UK-supplied missiles to strike bridge to Crimea</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/russia-accuses-ukraine-uk-missiles-strike-bridge-to-crimea</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Chonhar Bridge is one of a handful of infrastructures linking Crimea with the mainland&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/jun/22/russia-ukraine-war-live-slow-pace-of-counteroffensive-setting-conditions-for-future-main-effort-usthinktank-says"&gt;Russia-Ukraine war – latest news updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Russian-backed officials in southern Ukraine have accused Kyiv of using British-supplied long-range missiles to strike a bridge connecting Kherson province with the Crimean peninsula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The strike on the Chonhar Bridge, one of the few links between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, came two days after Moscow threatened to attack Kyiv’s “decision-making centres” if western-supplied missiles were used against Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/russia-accuses-ukraine-uk-missiles-strike-bridge-to-crimea"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘With help, we might survive’: Kyiv sees sharp rise in homeless people</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/with-help-we-might-survive-kyiv-sees-sharp-rise-in-homeless-people</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Since Russia’s invasion, there are so many people on the streets that volunteers offering food and other help can’t keep up with demand&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As missiles and drones descend on Kyiv, homeless couple Vadym and Alona have nowhere to shelter but under the branches of a horse chestnut tree in the park. Blooming with pinkish-white flowers, the trees have been a symbol of the Ukrainian capital since Soviet times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During a recent barrage that was particularly heavy, they cradled each other for comfort as streaks of glowing tracer fire chased missiles through the sky above them. “That was the most afraid we’ve been,” says Vadym.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/with-help-we-might-survive-kyiv-sees-sharp-rise-in-homeless-people"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Moscow court rules US reporter accused of spying must remain in detention</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;US ambassador says she is ‘extremely disappointed’ at decision not to release WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Moscow court has ruled that the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich must remain in pre-trial detention on espionage charges until at least late August, rejecting the American journalist’s appeal to be released.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gershkovich appeared slightly pale and with longer hair after almost three months’ detention in Lefortovo prison in Moscow, which is reserved for targets of FSB investigations. He was smiling in some photos.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/us-reporter-evan-gershkovich-in-russian-court-to-appeal-against-detention"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Alito’s wrongdoing makes a supreme court ethics overhaul an imperative | Margaret Sullivan</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Today’s supreme court is extremely powerful, increasingly political and decreasingly trusted. We need reform now&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The US supreme court is an extraordinarily exclusive club. The nine members are unelected and employed for life, or until they step down voluntarily. And, as in many exclusive clubs, the membership likes to keep things just as they have always been.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tradition has its merits, of course, but recent events clearly show that change is urgently needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Margaret Sullivan is a Guardian US columnist writing on media, politics and culture&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/alitos-wrongdoing-makes-a-supreme-court-ethics-overhaul-an-imperative"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>British extremists are importing tactics from the US hard right. Their target? Family drag shows  | Tim Squirrell</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The debate over what is appropriate for children is important, but it has been co-opted at protests using abusive tactics&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drag and cross-dressing have been a part of British cultural expression for centuries. From Shakespeare plays to pantomime dames, and the late Barry Humphries’ creation Dame Edna Everage; playing with representations of gender in all its forms has long been widely enjoyed by audiences. Drag shows are a modern expression of this tradition, which is now being threatened by a coordinated campaign to silence it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/22/tory-mps-contributing-to-growing-hostility-to-drag-events-report-says"&gt;More than 50 family drag events&lt;/a&gt; in the UK were targeted by protesters from June last year to this May, according to &lt;a href="https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/a-year-of-hate-anti-drag-mobilisation-efforts-targeting-lgbtq-people-in-the-uk/"&gt;data&lt;/a&gt; gathered by our researchers at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD). Ten shows were cancelled or postponed before they even took place. At the ones that did go ahead, small groups (rarely more than 12) using abusive and confrontational tactics routinely accused parents who were taking their children to the events of supporting paedophilia, or threatened to perform “citizen’s arrests” on the drag queens performing at them. Clashes between protesters and counter protesters or police broke out at a number of them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/british-extremists-us-right-family-drag-shows-children"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>As a martial arts veteran, I know Zuckerberg could take Musk in a fight. But what a waste of energy! | Joel Snape</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk-mma-cage-fighting</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Meta and Twitter’s bosses are squaring up online. But while they bang on about cage fights, the world is burning&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg going to have a cage fight? Of course they aren’t. In case you missed this story, Zuckerberg’s company, Meta, recently released plans for a Twitter-like app; Musk responded to tweets about it by saying that he was “up for a cage fight” with the Facebook founder; Zuck shot back with &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=send+location+meme&amp;amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enGB998GB1005&amp;amp;sxsrf=APwXEdfyvCtnowUIHuHzqGkbpsxsgeaIWg%3A1687436391540&amp;amp;ei=ZzyUZNfIIPyFhbIPzfuSwAQ&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwiXmMu17tb_AhX8QkEAHc29BEgQ4dUDCA8&amp;amp;uact=5&amp;amp;oq=send+location+meme&amp;amp;gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCAAQgAQyBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIGCAAQFhAeMgYIABAWEB4yBggAEBYQHjIICAAQigUQhgMyCAgAEIoFEIYDOgoIABBHENYEELADOgUILhCABDoECCMQJzoICAAQigUQkQI6CAgAEBYQHhAPOgcIABANEIAEOggIABAIEB4QDUoECEEYAFCBB1ixGmDoG2gGcAF4AIABW4gB5wWSAQIxMJgBAKABAcABAcgBCA&amp;amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp"&gt;a meme that only Ultimate Fighting Championship fans&lt;/a&gt; will actually get; and the world continues to turn/get hotter. The only thing you &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; need to understand about this affair is that two men who shouldn’t have GSOH anywhere near their potential dating profile tried to make some funnies, and everyone else joined in the battle royale for attention. Did I mention that it’s &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/15/record-temperatures-global-heating"&gt;really hot outside?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway. On the surface, this story probably reflects better on Zuck than Musk: the former, after all, actually practises mixed martial arts (MMA), and recently competed in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament where he &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/08/facebook-founder-mark-zuckerberg-jiu-jiutsu"&gt;won a brace of medals&lt;/a&gt;. As a &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Pq-Jv5kt8&amp;amp;t=54s"&gt;two-decade BJJ bro&lt;/a&gt; with a handful of amateur MMA fights under my own (black) belt, I know how difficult that is. Even if you’re hiring the best coaches in the world, you still have to do the work to get better, and there is (I’m assuming) no level of wealth that makes it feel better when another man grinds his shoulder into your face.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk-mma-cage-fighting"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The Greek shipwreck was a horrific tragedy. Yet it didn’t get the attention of the Titanic story | Arwa Mahdawi</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/the-greek-shipwreck-was-a-horrific-tragedy-yet-it-didnt-get-the-attention-of-the-titanic-story</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last week’s shipwreck in Greece is one of the worst tragedies there has ever been on the Mediterranean Sea. The coverage it received has been scant&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you heard about the billionaire and multimillionaires trapped on a submersible after spending up to $250,000 each to view the wreckage of the Titanic? Of course you have. The story has been headline news in &lt;a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/21/missing-titanic-submersible-pakistan-media/4f2c469e-1054-11ee-8d22-5f65b2e2f6ad_story.html"&gt;anglophone countries&lt;/a&gt; ever since the vessel, named the Titan, went missing. Enormous resources have been deployed to try to recover the passengers. Every tiny development has been exhaustively covered. Millions of people, myself included, have been glued to the live blogs and rolling coverage. And millions of people, myself included, are now newly minted experts on the difference between a submersible and a submarine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s completely natural to be glued to the Titan story because, obviously, it’s one hell of a story. Yes, the circumstances are unfathomably awful but, also, they’re so unfathomably awful that they seem unreal. The whole thing feels like a movie – like the latest instalment of the Knives Out series. I mean, come on, there’s a billionaire called Hamish Harding involved. The company who made the submersible is called OceanGate: it’s as if it was named in preparation for a massive controversy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian US columnist&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/the-greek-shipwreck-was-a-horrific-tragedy-yet-it-didnt-get-the-attention-of-the-titanic-story"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The fourth leading cause of death in the US? Cumulative poverty | Rev William Barber and Gregg Gonsalves</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/us-leading-cause-death-poverty-crisis</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We hear so much about crime rates, opioids, and gun violence in America, but so little from our elected leaders about the poverty crisis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you name the top 10 causes of death in America? Without too much trouble, most Americans could likely come up with some of them: cancer, heart disease, stroke, accidents. But it would come as a surprise to many to know that poverty is right up there with these other dreaded scourges – much higher, in fact, than many ills that have inspired investigative committees, major policy investments and sustained attention from the public and private sectors in American life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href="https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2023/04/17/poverty-4th-greatest-cause-us-deaths"&gt;recent study&lt;/a&gt; by one of our colleagues shows that cumulative poverty over many years is the fourth leading cause of death in this country. Current poverty – just being poor right now – is seventh on that list, and it alone causes 10 times as many deaths as homicide, close to five times as many deaths as gun violence, and 2.5 times as many deaths as drug overdoses. Cumulative poverty that lingers year after year is associated with approximately 60% more deaths than current poverty, putting only heart disease, cancer and smoking-related deaths ahead in the number of Americans it kills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Rev Dr William J Barber II is founding director of the Yale Center for Public Theology and Public Policy and co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gregg Gonsalves is associate professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/us-leading-cause-death-poverty-crisis"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>It’s a Padam-ic! Kylie’s sex-positive hit is brilliantly upending the mainstream</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/22/its-a-padam-ic-kylie-minogue-sex-positive-hit-brilliantly-upending-the-mainstream</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Not only is she queering the female pop ideal as a rare middle-aged woman in the Radio 1 playlist, Kylie Minogue is also resonating at a time when frivolity is returning to culture&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just two days ago, a spokesperson for BBC Radio 1 was explaining why &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/kylieminogue"&gt;Kylie Minogue&lt;/a&gt;’s Padam Padam hadn’t made its playlist, despite the writhing electropop song being her first Top 10 single in 12 years and now bordering on a national obsession. (Last week, it even made it into Hansard, referenced by Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle in a speech about Pride: “And finally Mr Deputy Speaker, in the words of Kylie, &lt;em&gt;padam.&lt;/em&gt;”) “Each track is considered for the playlist based on its musical merit and whether it is right for our target audience, with decisions made on a case-by-case basis,” the spokesperson said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kylie turned 55 last month, leading to accusations of ageism against Radio 1. In response, the station claimed that “an artist’s age is never a factor” in decision-making. Technically, that bears out – David Guetta is a perpetual figure on the station, currently on the C-list with Baby Don’t Hurt Me, and he’s also 55. But Guetta is a fairly faceless dance producer. The stakes are evidently different for women whose appearance and physique contribute to an overall performance of pop in which the suggestion of desirability is key. As culture perceives women to become less attractive and sexually viable as they hit middle age, the assumption is clearly that an older female artist is of little relevance to Radio 1’s demographic of listeners aged 15-29, even if – or perhaps specifically because – she’s singing about a dancefloor infatuation so delirious that she and the song’s intended have to go straight home “and take off all my clothes”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/22/its-a-padam-ic-kylie-minogue-sex-positive-hit-brilliantly-upending-the-mainstream"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quarterback says many athletes take hallucinogens&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;39-year-old joined Jets from Packers this offseason&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aaron Rodgers has once again praised psychedelics, saying using them helped him in his professional and personal life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The four-time NFL MVP, who joined the New York Jets from the Green Bay Packers this offseason, was speaking at a psychedelics conference in Denver on Wednesday. Colorado, along with Oregon, recently decriminalized the use of psychedelic mushrooms, although they remain illegal at a federal level in the United States.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/22/ayahuasca-48-touchdowns-mvp-rodgers-says-psychedelics-helped-nfl-career"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>From Rice to Mitoma: Premier League ‘clutch’ XI for the 2022-23 season</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/declan-rice-mitoma-premier-league-bruno-fernandes</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Who stood out when their team desperately needed goals, saves, interceptions or assists to make the difference?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What makes a ‘clutch’ player? It’s an ability to produce at the most important moment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, qualities that can be picked up in statistics&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; but not necessarily defined by numbers alone. In one way or another, the players &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;below (in an all-out, attacking 3-4-1-2 formation) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;showed clutch tendencies in the Premier League and beyond &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;last season&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;. To make it more interesting, we’re &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;including only one player per team.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/declan-rice-mitoma-premier-league-bruno-fernandes"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Declan Rice keen to join Arsenal despite Manchester City’s plan for a rival bid</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/manchester-city-bid-declan-rice-arsenal-signing-west-ham</link>
      <description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;City able to meet West Ham’s asking price of at least £100m&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rice more likely to start at Arsenal and prefers to stay in London&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Declan Rice remains keen to join Arsenal despite Manchester City planning to enter the race to sign the West Ham midfielder. Arsenal’s first two bids for Rice &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/20/west-ham-reject-arsenal-90m-declan-rice-bid"&gt;have been rejected&lt;/a&gt;, leaving Mikel Arteta at risk of missing out on his top target. City have the financial wherewithal to meet West Ham’s asking price of at least £100m, and it would be hard for the 24-year-old to turn down the chance to play for Pep Guardiola.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rice spoke to Guardiola towards the end of last season and City are planning for life without Ilkay Gündogan, who has decided &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/21/ilkay-gundogan-to-leave-manchester-city-to-join-barcelona-on-free-transfer"&gt;to join Barcelona&lt;/a&gt; on a free transfer. However, the treble winners are not short of options in central midfield. They are close to &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/21/manchester-city-begin-talks-over-25m-deal-for-mateo-kovacic-from-chelsea"&gt;signing Mateo Kovacic&lt;/a&gt; from Chelsea and have Rodri and Kalvin Phillips to play in central midfield.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/manchester-city-bid-declan-rice-arsenal-signing-west-ham"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Bale says Messi will enjoy MLS because losing has ‘no consequence’ there</title>

      <description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Welshman says pressure is a lot less than in Europe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Messi due to make Inter Miami debut on 21 July&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gareth Bale believes Lionel Messi will enjoy life away from the crucible of European and international football when he starts his new career in MLS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The World Cup winner is scheduled to make his debut for his new club, Inter Miami, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/20/60m-a-year-lionel-messi-set-to-make-inter-miami-debut-on-21-july"&gt;on 21 July&lt;/a&gt;. And while his imminent arrival &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/14/lionel-messi-miami-move-impact"&gt;has generated plenty of interest&lt;/a&gt; in the US, Bale believes the pressure will be negligible compared to Messi’s experience playing for Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Argentina.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/bale-says-messi-will-enjoy-mls-because-losing-has-no-consequence-there"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Cash dictates the UFC won’t cut ties with the troubled Conor McGregor</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/22/cash-dictates-the-ufc-wont-cut-ties-with-the-troubled-conor-mcgregor</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The MMA star has been the focal point for a number of serious allegations. But his ability to draw in fans means he continues to prosper financially &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conor McGregor – &lt;a href="https://www.sportsmanor.com/conor-mcgregors-nickname-why-is-the-irishman-called-the-notorious/"&gt;the ‘Notorious’&lt;/a&gt; face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) – has once again found himself mired in controversy as serious allegations of sexual assault cast a shadow over his anticipated return to the sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, the Irish mixed martial artist &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/15/conor-mcgregor-denies-allegation-he-sexually-assaulted-woman-at-nba-finals"&gt;was accused of assaulting an unnamed woman&lt;/a&gt; at the Kaseya Center in Miami during Game 4 of the NBA finals. In a demand letter, attorney Ariel Mitchell described her client’s alleged encounter with McGregor, which took place in the VIP men’s bathroom. The letter also claimed that McGregor was “aided and abetted by the NBA and Miami Heat Kaseya security.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/22/cash-dictates-the-ufc-wont-cut-ties-with-the-troubled-conor-mcgregor"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The USWNT enter the World Cup loved, despised and still influential</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The World Cup champions have made enemies, and many more fans. Whether they succeed or fail, they know people will be watching&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A seven-a-side match featuring a collection of retired Wrexham pros and guests against a team of mostly retired US women’s players isn’t particularly newsworthy. But when the score wound up &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojb430E55zA"&gt;12-0 in favor of the men&lt;/a&gt;, the knives were out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some outlets, &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/ryan-reynolds-wrexham-afc-demolished-us-womens-national-team-during-tournament-1m-prize"&gt;notably Fox News&lt;/a&gt;, either ignorantly or deliberately misidentified the American players as “the US women’s team”. Some played up Heather O’Reilly’s playful callout of Wrexham’s celebrity owner Ryan Reynolds as a &lt;a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/2023/06/05/647d72dbe2704e2e4a8b4598.html"&gt;hysterical, delusional fit&lt;/a&gt;. From newsrooms to their parents’ basements, men rejoiced at the supposed humbling of women who dared to demand a place in the sports marketplace.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Celebrating wildly upon scoring &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/12/usa-thailand-womens-world-cup-soccer-celebrations"&gt;goals 11, 12 and 13&lt;/a&gt; against an overmatched World Cup opponent? No problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Morgan pretending to sip tea after a goal against England? A meme-worthy moment, even though many couldn’t tell whether it was a dig at the team’s tea-crazed opponents, a homage to Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner’s Instagram account, or &lt;a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/alex-morgan-makes-history-and-gives-uswnt-the-lead-with-teasipping-birthday-goal-194734846.html"&gt;a shoutout to Kermit the Frog&lt;/a&gt;. (As it turns out, the correct answer was &lt;a href="https://www.insider.com/alex-morgan-sipped-tea-celebration-sophie-turner-vmas-2019-8"&gt;Turner&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rose Lavelle &lt;a href="https://au.sports.yahoo.com/womens-world-cup-usa-outrage-controversial-penalty-223951208.html"&gt;diving to get a call&lt;/a&gt; at the World Cup? Either we all missed the foul, or, hey, the men do it all the time. (Sadly, that’s not wrong.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/22/the-uswnt-enter-the-world-cup-loved-despised-and-still-influential"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The scientist who raised dangers of carbon dioxide in 1950s</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/22/gilbert-plass-scientist-raised-dangers-carbon-dioxide-climate-change</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Physicist Gilbert Plass predicted climate change, blaming fossil fuels for rising temperatures&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s often assumed that most people in the 1950s were blissfully unaware of climate change, but in fact there were already alarm bells ringing. In 1953, the Canadian physicist Gilbert Plass talked to a scientific meeting about the dangers of carbon dioxide pollution. “The large increase in industrial activity during the present century is discharging so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that the average temperature is rising at the rate of 1.5 degrees [fahrenheit] per century,” he announced in a sensational statement that became headline news around the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although climate scientists had realised that world temperatures were rising, they put forward other explanations for the warming, such as sunspots or wobbles in the Earth’s orbit around the sun. Plass had researched the climate in his spare time while working at the Ford motor company, before publishing his research in two science journals, as well as writing a popular piece in a science magazine. In 1961, he went further and blamed fossil fuels for most of the global warming. His words were prophetic – CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; levels in the atmosphere were about 310 parts per million and now they are over 420ppm and rising each year, along with global temperatures.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/22/gilbert-plass-scientist-raised-dangers-carbon-dioxide-climate-change"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Women bear the biggest brunt of climate change,’ says climate scientist Susan Chomba</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/21/climate-scientists-susan-chomba-africa</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;She leads a team of 100 at a non-profit with operations across Africa and says climate has been seen through a male perspective for too long &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Susan Chomba glares out the window of the Prado Land Cruiser at dozens of motorcycles speeding in the opposite direction. Each motorcycle carries at least five bags of charcoal and for every bag, at least three medium-sized acacia trees must be chopped down and burned. Charcoal production is banned in Kenya, but is still &lt;a href="https://theconversation.com/kenya-has-been-trying-to-regulate-the-charcoal-sector-why-its-not-working-154383"&gt;widely used&lt;/a&gt; for domestic heat and cooking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chomba loves trees. She can rattle off the scientific and local names of countless species and detail their ideal growing conditions. She holds a PhD in forest governance and master’s degrees in agriculture development and agroforestry. She is director of food, land and water programs, continent-wide, at the &lt;a href="https://www.wri.org/about"&gt;World Resources Institute (WRI)&lt;/a&gt;, a global environmental research non-profit. She manages a portfolio of $20m and a staff of 100.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/21/climate-scientists-susan-chomba-africa"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Rare combination of tornadoes and softball-sized hail leads to deaths in Texas</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/texas-tornadoes-hail-deaths</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Severe storms with hurricane-force winds in north-west Texas killed at least four people and caused widespread damage&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A line of severe storms produced what a meteorologist calls a rare combination of multiple tornadoes, hurricane-force winds and softball-sized hail in north-west Texas, killing at least four people and causing significant damage around the town of Matador. National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Ziebell says the supercell developed about 8pm local time on Wednesday near Amarillo before striking Matador, injuring nine people in addition to the four killed and causing widespread destruction. Ziebell says the storm later produced 109mph (175km/h) winds at Jayton in addition to the four-inch or larger hail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“That is certainly rare to see all at the same time, killer tornadoes, hurricane-force winds and softball-sized hail,” Ziebell said.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/texas-tornadoes-hail-deaths"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hindu nationalist PM is a divisive figure at home and prejudice based on India’s hereditary classes has extended to Indian American communities&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/live/2023/jun/22/supreme-court-affirmative-action-lgbtq-rights-student-loan-live-modi-biden"&gt;Modi US visit – live updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maya K came to the US in 2002. She was born in Hyderabad in India, in a family considered to be untouchable by the upper-caste Hindus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Castes are the hereditary classes of Indian society, each with its role and status defined in the scriptures of Hinduism. At the top of the ladder are the Brahmins, who claim an exclusive right to perform religious rituals; at the bottom are the Dalits, who were denied the right to education and consigned to the jobs that required hard labour, or were considered impure.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/caste-discrimination-us-modi-visit-hindu"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Trump critic Will Hurd announces Republican run for president</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/will-hurd-republican-presidential-run</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Former CIA officer and Texas congressman pitches himself as moderate alternative to current crop of primary contenders&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former Texas congressman Will Hurd, a onetime CIA officer and fierce critic of Donald Trump, announced on Thursday that he is running for president, hoping to build momentum as a more moderate alternative to &lt;a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-2024-republican-primary-indictment-impact-charges-a4708142eb57749eef7785e427c14695"&gt;the Republican primary field’s early frontrunner&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hurd, who made the announcement on CBS Mornings, served three terms in the House through January 2021, becoming the chamber’s only Black Republican during his final two years in office. He said in a video launching his White House bid that the “soul of our country is under attack”, reminiscent of Democrat Joe Biden’s slogan about the 2020 race being a “battle for the soul of the nation”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/will-hurd-republican-presidential-run"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Report shows connections of business and rightwing thinktanks to laws aimed at environmental, social and corporate governance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The American right wing’s widening fight against what it calls “woke capitalism” is partly driven by fossil fuel interests or industry allies, according to a new report published on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conservatives often use the term “woke capitalism” to refer to environmental, social and corporate governance – or ESG – criteria used to screen investments based on their environmental and social implications.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/rightwing-war-on-woke-capitalism-industry-interests"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;California’s Taqueria Garibaldi fined for a host of alleged violations, including conducting ‘confessions’ on employees&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A northern California restaurant chain will have to pay more than $140,000 in back pay after it ran a “shameless” wage theft scheme that involved a fake priest who had workers confess to any sins they committed while on the clock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The owners and operators of Taqueria Garibaldi, a Sacramento-based restaurant chain, are also accused of threatening workers and fabricating timesheets as part of an effort to obstruct an investigation into the business. The US Department of Labor previously found that the company illegally denied workers overtime pay.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/jun/21/taqueria-garibaldi-labor-department-violations-false-priest"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Scottish teacher Chris ‘Cam’ Cameron revises down attempt to stay on Atlantic outcrop to 50 days&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An adventurer living alone on the barren islet of Rockall, 230 miles (370km) west of the Outer Hebrides, is halfway to completing a record-breaking stay, while enduring “atrocious” Atlantic weather.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chris “Cam” Cameron, a teacher and former soldier, is often soaked and bitterly cold.

      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/indian-minister-invites-opposition-for-talks-over-dire-manipur-situation</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ethnic violence in north-eastern state has led to more than 100 deaths since breaking out in early May&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;India’s home affairs minister, Amit Shah, has called opposition parties for talks on Saturday to discuss an outbreak of ethnic violence in Manipur state in the north-east, in a sign that the government has acknowledged the situation has spun out of its control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than 100 people have died and 50,000 have been displaced since clashes broke out in early May between members of the Kuki ethnic group, who mostly live in the hills, and the Meitei people, the dominant community in the lowlands. Churches, temples, shops and businesses have been destroyed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/indian-minister-invites-opposition-for-talks-over-dire-manipur-situation"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>How the Windrush generation shaped British culture | podcast</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/23/how-the-windrush-generation-shaped-british-culture-podcast</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It is 75 years since HMS Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in Essex. Authors Colin Grant and Patrice Lawrence and publisher Sharmaine Lovegrove reflect on the cultural legacy of that moment and how it has shaped their work&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The hundreds of people who arrived on British shores on the HMS Empire Windrush were part of a generation who transformed British society. It’s a rich legacy that is still playing out – especially in the culture created by their children and grandchildren.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the author &lt;strong&gt;Colin Grant,&lt;/strong&gt; his heritage came to life in the storytelling of his mother and in his entertaining Caribbean neighbours, with their distinctive nicknames from Tidy Boots to Clock. And he has channelled his fascination into his writing – from his memoir to biographies of historical figures such as Marcus Garvey.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/23/how-the-windrush-generation-shaped-british-culture-podcast"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Britain’s mortgage timebomb - podcast</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/22/britain-mortgage-timebomb-podcast</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates again today, leaving millions of homeowners facing higher costs. Richard Partington reports&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Britain’s inflation rate remained at 8.7% in figures released yesterday. It means that when the Bank of England announces its interest rate decision at noon today, it will almost certainly raise the base rate from the current level of 4.5%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As our economics correspondent &lt;strong&gt;Richard Partington &lt;/strong&gt;tells &lt;strong&gt;Nosheen Iqbal&lt;/strong&gt;, this rise will pile further pain on to mortgage holders, who are already smarting from successive interest rate rises. Many took on large debts to buy homes during an era of record-low borrowing costs and are now facing monthly bills hundreds of pounds higher than they budgeted for. It comes at a time when utility bills are pinching hard and food prices are at record highs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/22/britain-mortgage-timebomb-podcast"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Held v Montana: the young people fighting for the climate in court</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/21/held-v-montana-the-young-people-fighting-for-the-climate-in-court</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Dharna Noor reports on the 16 young people taking on the state of Montana in a historic climate case. What could it mean if the plaintiffs are successful?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Held v Montana lawsuit is the United States’ first constitutional trial relating to the climate crisis. The plaintiffs, aged five to 22, in partnership with the non-profit law firm Our Children’s Trust, are arguing that the the state’s support for the fossil fuel industry undermines the constitution’s guarantee that the “state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dharna Noor&lt;/strong&gt; tells &lt;strong&gt;Michael Safi&lt;/strong&gt; about the testimonies of the young people involved, and the arguments which have been playing out in court. She reports from Helena, Montana, where the case is being heard.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2023/jun/21/held-v-montana-the-young-people-fighting-for-the-climate-in-court"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The Perfect Find review – Gabrielle Union anchors breezy Netflix romcom</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/perfect-find-review-gabrielle-union-netflix</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There might be a little too much going on in the streamer’s glossy star vehicle but there’s enough style, wit and good music to make for a satisfying night in&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She had me at: “There’s nothing wrong with Black nepotism.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thesis statement stamps the tone for The Perfect Find, an edgier than average choice for a Netflix-and-chill romcom, and there’s so much irony intended in Gabrielle Union being the one to deliver the line. She is Jenna, a Manhattan It-girl recovering from the demise of a decade-long relationship that unfolded in New York newsprint.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/perfect-find-review-gabrielle-union-netflix"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>And Just Like That season two review – a lavish, ridiculous and hilarious meme-fest</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jun/22/and-just-like-that-season-two-review-a-lavish-ridiculous-and-hilarious-meme-fest</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It will never live up to Sex and the City, but it’s intensely quotable, brilliantly watchable and packed with hilarious high jinks. Isn’t that enough?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second season of And Just Like That, HBO’s controversial, heavily criticised Sex and the City revival, manages to do the unthinkable: it is even more lavish and unreservedly ridiculous than its first go-around. Here is just a small sample of some of the more daft things that happen in its first seven episodes: Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) lust after a student at their children’s school; Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) spends a scene mulling over the word “jizz”; Seema (Sarita Choudhury) dates a guy who uses a penis pump; Who’s The Boss? star Tony Danza has an extended cameo as himself, in which he worries he will get cancelled for appearing in Che Diaz’s (Sara Ramirez) sitcom pilot. And that barely scratches the surface of all the ludicrous high jinks Carrie and co get up to this season. It would seem that the showrunner, Michael Patrick King, having seen all the memes about its (often unintentionally) hilarious first season, has decided to plunge head-first into unfettered bonkersness. And the show is all the better for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Much of the criticism of And Just Like That’s first season centred on the ungainliness of it all: early episodes groaned under the weight of 10 years’ worth of exposition, plot points were introduced and abandoned with impunity, and the show’s discussion of gender and racism was deemed clunky and out of character. I don’t necessarily agree with the last gripe – the well-meaning but out-of-touch way Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) discussed, say, transgender issues or Black Lives Matter, reminded me of the way my extended family would discuss these subjects – but both criticisms have largely been dealt with this time. Che is no longer a walking, talking infographic, and Miranda no longer sounds as if she is reciting sections of the book White Fragility from memory.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jun/22/and-just-like-that-season-two-review-a-lavish-ridiculous-and-hilarious-meme-fest"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>A sunset, a helicopter and Hayley Atwell's nan: how Tom Cruise ruined romance</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/a-sunset-a-helicopter-and-hayley-atwells-nan-how-tom-cruise-ruined-romance</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The age-defying, stunt-performing, cake-disseminating superstar has raised the bar once again when it comes to grand gestures. It’s time for the rest of us to step up – or give up&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ungainly title aside, it’s hard to see next month’s release of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One as anything other than a huge lap of honour for Tom Cruise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The film was shot during Covid, and leaked on-set audio of Cruise being, let’s say, &lt;em&gt;explosively responsible&lt;/em&gt; about social distancing gave him the air of the only man alive who cared about the pandemic. It’s the first film of his released since Top Gun: Maverick single handedly reminded people that cinemas still existed. And, what’s more, the slow drip of production videos where he flings himself from objects of varying heights at varying speeds implicitly promises that Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will basically be a sort of Competent Jackass.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/a-sunset-a-helicopter-and-hayley-atwells-nan-how-tom-cruise-ruined-romance"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Academy, take action: why there should be an Oscar for best stunts</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/oscars-best-stunts-john-wick</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The director of John Wick: Chapter 4 has revealed that he is in discussions with the Academy to officially recognise the power of action sequences – and it couldn’t happen quickly enough&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You could ask a million different people what they want from the Oscars, and you’d get a million different replies. Some would want greater diversity, others for commercial movies to be better recognised. Some would want to see the entire ceremony scrapped altogether and replaced by a list of winners sent out via email, although that last one might just be me. Anyway, the point is that nobody – nobody on Earth – would want the Oscars to be any longer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To watch the Oscars these days is to commit to slowly losing all feeling in your lower body. On and on they go, for hours and hours. All the awards. All the speeches. All the montages. All the bits where everyone assembled focuses their willpower to shut out the creeping death of theatrical film-making as a financially viable medium. It goes on a while, and at this stage only an absolute lunatic would want to start adding categories to an already overstuffed dance card.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/22/oscars-best-stunts-john-wick"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>I am kinky but my partner is not. Should I end our secure, loving relationship? | Leading questions</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/23/i-am-kinky-but-my-partner-is-not-should-i-end-our-secure-loving-relationship</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Every relationship involves sacrifices, writes advice columnist &lt;strong&gt;Eleanor Gordon-Smith&lt;/strong&gt;. But yours might not be as fulfilling as you think – for either party&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have been in a loving relationship for three years. When I first met him, I told a close friend that I thought I’d met the love of my life. That initial infatuation gave way to a more realistic affection, but he’s smart, handsome and caring. I enjoy our time together and feel secure and trusting.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sexually, things were enjoyable at the beginning. That calmed down into a less frantic dynamic but we still have sex once per week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/23/i-am-kinky-but-my-partner-is-not-should-i-end-our-secure-loving-relationship"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Don’t let Big Air Fryer fool you: six everyday oven cooking hacks</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;From batches of bacon to ‘mapping’ your grill, this kitchen stalwart offers so much more than baking a cake&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/newsletters/2019/oct/18/saved-for-later-sign-up-for-guardian-australias-culture-and-lifestyle-email?CMP=cvau_sfl"&gt;Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your oven unit is more than just a cake-baking, potato-roasting, cheese-grilling workhorse. Open the door, fiddle with the temperature and you also have a yoghurt chamber and sterilising cabinet in your kitchen. And if you’ve been tempted to invest in an air fryer or dehydrator, save yourself the trouble – your oven can do many of the same things. From everyday hacks to long-form cooking projects, these are the lesser-known things you can do with your oven and grill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/jun/22/dont-let-big-air-fryer-fool-you-six-everyday-oven-cooking-hacks"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Put your music where your values are and check out festivals that support causes from preserving ancient cultures to saving monkeys&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sky-high ticket prices, corporate branding and a big-name acts approach are what we have come to expect from music &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/festivals"&gt;festivals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But with a recent &lt;a href="https://www.cm.com/cdn/web/en-gb/file/whitepapers/music-research-report.pdf?utm_source=cm.com&amp;amp;utm_medium=email&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Leisure%20&amp;amp;%20Travel%20-%20Music%20Research%20Report%20-%20Confirmation%20(1)%20-%20EN-GB&amp;amp;mailId=f05aaccd-ae24-48b0-a0fd-401a1c8d769a"&gt;UK study&lt;/a&gt; showing people are planning to go and see less live music this year due to the cost of living crisis, perhaps commercial music events have lost their charm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2023/jun/22/ethical-music-festivals-in-the-uk-and-europe"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Your body is miraculous – enjoy it!’ 10 ways to be much more body-confident</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/21/your-body-is-miraculous-enjoy-it-10-ways-to-be-much-more-body-confident</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Forget your inhibitions this summer. Instead, wear colourful clothes, get enough rest and celebrate every personal best&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unless your body is morgue-ready – in which case, please remain in situ – then your living, breathing human self is beach-ready just the way it is. If you have a pulse, you already have a bikini body. Or indeed a mankini body. We all know this in theory. Yet these sensible thoughts are easily spouted but not so easily, um, embodied. Many of us find it relatively straightforward to be kind (and relatively less judgmental) towards other people. Because all you have to do is remember not to be a cruel git. But when it comes to our view of ourselves, we can be over harsh and critical, submitting ourselves to a level of scrutiny that we wouldn’t dream of applying to others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the 1980s idea that we must all prepare ourselves for the Great Unveiling of the Socially Acceptable Flesh and improve our aesthetic qualities before we venture near a beach or swimming pool … Well, that has kind of had its day. How often do we have the chance to get the sun on the bits of us that rarely make contact with the outside world? Why would you squander that chance? Here’s how to &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/body-image"&gt;feel confident with your body&lt;/a&gt; this summer and all year round.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/21/your-body-is-miraculous-enjoy-it-10-ways-to-be-much-more-body-confident"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>I am 25 and have never been kissed. Have I missed my chance?</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jun/21/i-am-25-and-have-never-been-kissed-have-i-missed-my-chance</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;How do I go on a date and admit I have never been intimate with anyone? I feel so ashamed of being a virgin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; am 25 and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have never had sex. I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have never been in a relationship, kissed anyone or even held someone’s hand in a romantic way. I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;t has&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; never happened for me. I feel so much shame about this, as if I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have done something wrong&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. When people ask me why I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have never had sex, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I usually reply that no one has ever expressed any interest. But I hate the fact that people can sometimes tell I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; am a virgin without me &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;saying so, and wonder what it is &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;that gives it away.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;only sexual experiences I have had, I didn’t consent to&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. The first time a boy saw me naked was without my consent; I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have been groped in nightclubs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;men have asked me for sexual favours and told me that they thought of me while masturbating. But no one has ever initiated any consensual intimacy and I suppose I&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; have been so scared of doing it wrong that &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I haven’t either.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pamela Stephenson Connolly is a US-based psychotherapist who specialises in treating sexual disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like advice from Pamela on sexual matters, send us a brief description of your concerns to &lt;a href="mailto:private.lives@theguardian.com"&gt;private.lives@theguardian.com&lt;/a&gt; (please don’t send attachments).

      <title>‘Simulation of democracy’: Guatemala readies for election amid concerns of manipulation</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/guatemala-elections-democracy-manipulation-autocracy</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Candidates have been disqualified on spurious grounds as experts warn of country backsliding into autocracy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Along the main thoroughfares that crisscross Guatemala City, campaign posters promoting almost two dozen presidential candidates are plastered on electricity poles and lamp-posts, each promising to bring prosperity and security to Central America’s most populous country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet despite the plurality on display, few Guatemalans expect much to change amid mounting evidence that this Sunday’s election could be little more than a simulation of democracy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/22/guatemala-elections-democracy-manipulation-autocracy"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘God, I really need a pint after that’: actors on the toll of dying on stage night after night</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/jun/21/die-on-stage-nathan-lane-josette-simon-</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;What’s it like to expire every evening, often in devastating, drawn-out scenes? Nathan Lane, Josette Simon and more talk about how playing death messes with their minds – and describe the ‘de-role’ rituals that bring them back&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Death is an act most of us will perform only once. But for actors, it can be a regular occurrence. On stage, their character’s demise may come with a sudden gunshot or be devastatingly drawn out and come with a rousing speech. But how does it feel to die night after night after night in such roles?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/gallery/2017/apr/28/angels-in-america-national-theatre-in-pictures"&gt;the National Theatre’s 2017 production&lt;/a&gt; of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Nathan Lane played Roy Cohn, the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/jun/17/roy-cohn-film-ivy-meeropol-hbo"&gt;real-life political fixer&lt;/a&gt; who denied his diagnosis of Aids until the very end. “He thinks he’s indestructible,” says Lane, who faced a double challenge. In the play, Cohn attempts to get the last laugh by faking his own death, before the real one comes along. Lane was required to lie in a hospital bed on stage. “I pulled out an IV,” he recalls, “and this blood would spurt out. And I had to have these body tremors. It has an effect on you psychologically. There’s something about lying in a hospital bed and gown. You do start to feel sick.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/jun/21/die-on-stage-nathan-lane-josette-simon-"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Revealed: a toxic metal is in a US city’s air – and may be harming children’s brains</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/21/lead-emissions-racetracks-portland-international-raceway</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Guardian finds children in Portland, Oregon, could have lower test scores due to lead emissions from nearby racetrack, one of dozens across the US to use toxic leaded gasoline&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When a neighbor mentioned to Kristy Lanciotti, a mother of two and pediatric nurse who works in environmental health, that toxic leaded gasoline was being used at a racetrack just down the road from her house in Portland, Oregon, she was taken aback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She was well aware of Portland International Raceway – most summer weekends were punctuated by the roar of engines – but Lanciotti, like most of her neighbors, was surprised to learn that the cars in many of those events were powered by a fuel that could damage her children’s brains.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/21/lead-emissions-racetracks-portland-international-raceway"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The people turning to birth control after the fall of Roe: ‘I feel a little safer’</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/21/roe-reversal-dobbs-decision-birth-control</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;More people are feeling backed into a corner after the supreme court struck down the nationwide right to abortion last year&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The last thing Jana wanted was to go back on hormonal birth control. But after Roe v Wade&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;was overturned, prompting abortion bans in her state and ones around her, she felt she didn’t have a choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jana, who asked to go by a pseudonym because she doesn’t want her politically conservative family to know her story, started using birth control at 13. For nearly a decade, she tried different kinds of hormonal contraception to find the one that least exacerbated anxiety and depression. Her weight fluctuated, making her eating disorder even worse. After nearly a decade, her therapist suggested she get off birth control altogether. It worked. She felt in touch with her adult body for the first time in her life, and her mental health was finally in a good place. She started using apps to track her menstrual cycle, to tell her when she was ovulating and should avoid sex or use a condom.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/21/roe-reversal-dobbs-decision-birth-control"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Pharrell Williams hits Paris catwalk with Louis Vuitton menswear debut</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/21/pharrell-williams-paris-catwalk-louis-vuitton-menswear-debut</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Rihanna among guests at first show since death of previous creative director Virgil Abloh &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, hosted something new on Tuesday evening: Pharrell Williams’s first menswear collection for the luxury brand Louis Vuitton.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As might be expected for a musician, producer and entrepreneur with more than 14 million followers on Instagram, the A-list count in the audience was high. Guests included Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, Zendaya, Lewis Hamilton, Kelly Rowland, Tyler, the Creator and Kim Kardashian. Some stayed after the show for the performance by Jay-Z. Williams joined him on stage for the 2003 song Frontin’.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun/21/pharrell-williams-paris-catwalk-louis-vuitton-menswear-debut"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;On the 75th anniversary of the arrival of Empire Windrush, the children of its passengers tell of an enduring legacy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the day Empire Windrush arrived in Britain in June 1948, 11 Labour MPs sent a letter to the prime minister, Clement Attlee, proposing that there should be controls on black immigration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The British people were “blest by the absence of a colour racial problem”, they wrote, adding: “An influx of coloured people domiciled here is likely to impair the harmony, strength and cohesion of our people and social life and cause discord and unhappiness among all concerned.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-interactive/2023/jun/21/the-children-of-windrush-they-told-us-youre-people-of-the-world-thats-what-matters-not-skin-colour"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Joe Biden and Narendra Modi quizzed on human rights in India during US visit – video</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;When asked about the human rights and democratic issues in India, Joe Biden said he and Indian prime minister Narendra Modi had spoken about democratic values and were 'straightforward with each other.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Modi said he was surprised by the critique, adding 'there is absolutely no space for discrimination.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thousands of Indian Americans and other guests had gathered on the White House South Lawn to greet Modi on Thursday morning, ahead of the private meeting between the two heads of state. At the same time, dozens of demonstrators descended near the White House gates in protest against the visit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Human rights advocates have criticised Modi and his party, the BJP, for fueling the rise of &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/20/what-is-hindu-nationalism-and-who-are-the-rss"&gt;violence associated with Hindu nationalism&lt;/a&gt; and discriminating against India’s Muslim minority&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/22/joe-biden-narendra-modi-visit-washington"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biden rolls out red carpet for Modi amid calls to address human rights concerns&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2023/jun/22/joe-biden-and-narendra-modi-quizzed-on-human-rights-in-india-during-us-visit-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>'Drowned, alive, we don't know': father of missing migrant speaks out after shipwreck – video</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The father of 18-year-old Syrian migrant Mohammed Ahmad says he doesn't know where his son is after he went missing while on a boat that sank off the coast of Greece. The shipwreck killed at least 78 people, and hundreds are still missing. Witness accounts suggest between 400 and 750 people had piled onto the fishing boat that capsized off the coastal town of Pylos. Relatives of people missing have travelled to Kalamata, the port town that has become the centre of the search and rescue operation, seeking more information&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/15/where-are-they-hope-fades-among-relatives-of-missing-after-greek-shipwreck"&gt;‘Where are they?’: anguish grows among relatives of missing after Greek shipwreck&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/16/greek-coastguard-denies-claims-prevented-boat-disaster"&gt;Greek coastguard denies claims refugee boat capsized after tow rope attached&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2023/jun/16/drowned-alive-we-dont-know-father-of-missing-migrant-speaks-out-after-shipwreck-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>What's happening in Scotland's ruling party, the SNP? – video explainer</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2023/jun/15/whats-happening-in-scotlands-ruling-party-the-snp-video-explainer</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's longest-serving first minister, made a surprising move earlier this year by resigning, leaving political observers puzzled. However, the unexpected developments did not end there. Sturgeon was arrested by police investigating allegations of financial misconduct in the SNP after her husband, Peter Murrell, was arrested as part of the same investigation, plunging the party into turmoil. Both of them were released without charge and said they were confident they had done nothing wrong. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Guardian's Scotland correspondent, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/libbybrooks"&gt;Libby Brooks&lt;/a&gt;, explains what impact the arrests of senior SNP figures is having on the party and the prospect of another independence referendum&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2023/jun/15/whats-happening-in-scotlands-ruling-party-the-snp-video-explainer"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>How Haiti came to be run by armed gangs – video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2023/jun/15/how-haiti-came-to-be-run-by-armed-gangs-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Since the assassination of Haiti's president, Jovenel Moïse, in 2021, the country has been in turmoil, with gangs taking control of much of the capital, Port-au-Prince. But they are not a new phenomenon. Gangs have had a longstanding role in Haiti's political life since the 1950s. The roots of the country's hardship go back even further. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Josh Toussaint-Strauss explores the historical background to the current crisis and discovers how gangs have become so embedded in Haitian politics&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/12/thursday-briefing-how-disease-famine-gangs-and-assassinations-brought-haiti-to-its-knees"&gt;How disease, famine, and gang warfare brought Haiti to its knees&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/audio/2023/feb/09/haiti-country-in-crisis-without-an-elected-government-podcast"&gt;Haiti: a country in crisis without an elected government - podcast&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2023/jun/15/how-haiti-came-to-be-run-by-armed-gangs-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Colombia releases footage of children found alive in jungle after plane crash – video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/global/video/2023/jun/12/colombia-releases-footage-of-children-found-alive-in-jungle-after-plane-crash-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Colombia's public broadcaster has released new footage of the four children who were rescued in the country's southern jungle, five weeks after a plane crash. The children can be seen in the footage being fed and tended to by members of Colombia's armed forces. The children – aged 13, nine, four and 11 months – are members of the Indigenous Huitoto people. They were travelling with their mother to an Amazonian village when their plane crashed. While their mother and everyone else on board died, the children survived the jungle by eating the rainforest’s fruits and seeds. They were taken to a military hospital in the capital Bogotá, where they were visited by the country's president, Gustavo Petro. Doctors said the children suffered insect bites and minor injuries but were in a stable condition&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/11/colombian-plane-crash-mother-told-children-to-leave-her-so-they-could-survive"&gt;Colombian plane crash: mother told children to leave her so they could survive&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/12/colombia-plane-crash-how-four-siblings-survived-jungle"&gt;Indigenous knowledge, bravery, vigilance: how young siblings survived in Colombia’s perilous jungle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/video/2023/jun/12/colombia-releases-footage-of-children-found-alive-in-jungle-after-plane-crash-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>What does the PGA-LIV merger mean for the future of golf? – video explainer</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2023/jun/09/golf-pga-liv-merger-saudi-arabia-video-explainer</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This week, golf's civil war came to an abrupt and unexpected end as the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/pga-tour"&gt;PGA Tour&lt;/a&gt; and its Saudi-backed rival, LIV Golf, agreed to merge. The Guardian's golf correspondent, Ewan Murray, analyses  what Saudi Arabia's investment and presence at the sport's top table could mean for the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new partnership could offer a route back on to the traditional tours for ostracised LIV golfers, but players who previously turned down lucrative offers to stay loyal to the PGA Tour may feel aggrieved. It is also the biggest statement of intent to date from Saudi Arabia, who have made several high-profile investments in the world of sport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/07/golf-powerbrokers-then-and-now-liv-pga-tour"&gt;Changing their tune: what golf’s powerbrokers said then and now&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jun/09/saudi-arabia-soccer-golf-nba-nfl-sportswashing"&gt;Saudi Arabia has bought into soccer and golf. Will the NBA and NFL be next?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2023/jun/09/golf-pga-liv-merger-saudi-arabia-video-explainer"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Burned to the Ground: the Canadian village incinerated by record temperatures</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2023/jun/08/burned-to-the-ground-the-canadian-village-incinerated-by-record-temperatures</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The small village of Lytton in British Columbia hit the global media when it smashed Canada’s highest temperature record in June 2021, at 49.6C. Two days later, a wildfire burned the entire village to the ground. In the ashes of their homes, this cohesive but diverse community, which includes a majority of First Nations people, had to confront the realities of climate displacement by being relocated away from their ancestral lands. Through the stories of three residents we find a community searching for answers while relying on a collective spirit to heal&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;or&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2023/jun/08/burned-to-the-ground-the-canadian-village-incinerated-by-record-temperatures"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Iranian women asleep on a bus … Farnaz Damnabi’s best photograph</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/jun/21/iranian-women-farnaz-damnabis-best-photograph</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;‘As you can tell by their closed eyes, all the women around me that day were exhausted. In Iran, women have to be superheroes to overcome all the restrictions they face’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was born in Tehran and live there still today. I took this on my way home from work after a tiring day. I work for one of Iran’s news agencies, where my duties include editing other photographers’ reportage and shooting on assignment. On the bus that day, the women around me, as you can tell by their closed eyes, were also exhausted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I took it discreetly with my iPhone, and I knew straight away that it was a powerful image. It speaks to a sense of loneliness – the isolation that comes with working in the capital, an issue for all workers regardless of gender. The black and white accentuates that feeling. Its formal composition, the sense of movement and strong diagonals also make it striking. Behind is the Chamran Expressway against the Alborz mountain range and the Milad Tower – one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. The tallest tower in Iran and the sixth tallest telecommunication tower in the world, it has become a symbol of Tehran. Although initial construction plans began in the mid-70s under the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, it wasn’t built until long after the 1979 revolution, when Iran became an “Islamic republic”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/jun/21/iranian-women-farnaz-damnabis-best-photograph"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
