Ukraine war briefing: fierce fighting reported in Russia’s Kursk region amid new Ukrainian offensive
Mon, 06 Jan 2025 01:59:11 GMT

Moscow’s forces coming under heavy pressure, according to Russian military bloggers; blasts heard near Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant. What we know on day 1,047

• See all our Ukraine war coverage

Russia says Ukraine has launched a new attack in the Kursk region of western Russia where Russian troops have been trying to eject Ukrainian forces for the past five months. Russia’s defence ministry said on Sunday its forces were beating back the Ukrainian forces but Russian military bloggers reported fierce fighting and some said the Russian side had come under heavy pressure. Ukraine’s general staff said 42 combat clashes took place on Sunday in the Kursk area, with 12 continuing. The head of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, Andriy Yermak, posted on Telegram that there was “good news” from Kursk, adding: “Russia is getting what it deserves.” Russia’s ministry said Ukraine attacked around 0600 GMT near the village of Berdin with two tanks, a mine-clearing vehicle and 12 armoured combat vehicles with paratroops. It said two Ukrainian attacks had been repelled. The battlefield reports could not be independently verified.

The Ukrainian army did not comment on the operation, simply saying in its daily report that fighting was under way in the Kursk region without elaborating. Zelenskyy said on Saturday that in two days of battles near the Kursk village of Makhnovka, “the Russian army lost up to a battalion of North Korean infantry soldiers and Russian paratroops”. Ukraine launched a cross-border raid into the Kursk region last August and Russia’s army has since recaptured only about 40% of lost territory. Ukraine’s new offensive comes as both sides seek to strengthen their negotiating hand ahead of US president-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House on 20 January, with Zelenskyy hinting that land around Kursk could play a part in any peace deal.

Zelenskyy said security guarantees for Kyiv to end Russia’s war would only be effective if the US provides them, and that he hoped to meet Trump soon after his inauguration. He said Ukrainians were counting on Trump to force Moscow to end its war and that Russia would escalate in Europe if Washington were to quit the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) military alliance. In an interview with US podcaster Lex Fridman published on Sunday, the Ukrainian president also renewed his call for Ukraine’s Nato membership.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported hearing loud blasts near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant on Sunday, coinciding with reports of a drone attack on the plant’s training centre, the head of the nuclear watchdog said. It had not yet been able to confirm any impact, Rafael Mariano Grossi said, adding that reports said there were no casualties or impact on equipment.

One person was killed and another wounded in Russian shelling of the city of Nikopol in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region on Sunday, local officials said. Downstream along the Dnipro River, at least six people were wounded when Russian troops shelled the city of Kherson, the Kherson region’s capital. Moscow sent 103 drones into Ukraine overnight to Sunday, Ukrainian officials said, with Ukraine’s air force saying 61 drones were destroyed and 42 lost, likely due to electronic jamming. Russia’s defence ministry said 61 Ukrainian drones were shot down in western Russia. No casualties were reported but Rostov’s regional governor, Yuri Slyusar, said residential buildings and cars were damaged by falling drone debris.

Dozens of sea mammals have been found dead since last month’s Russian oil tanker spill in the Black Sea, a dolphin rescue centre said as authorities raced to contain the disaster. The spill began on 15 December, when two ageing Russian tankers were caught in a storm off the Kerch Strait linking Crimea to southern Russia. One sank and the other ran aground, pouring about 2,400 tonnes of a heavy fuel oil into the surrounding waters, authorities estimate. Russia’s Delfa centre, which rescues and rehabilitates dolphins, said on Sunday it had recorded 61 dead cetaceans – a type of aquatic mammal that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises – since the incident.

Republicans try to exploit New Orleans attack to push through Trump agenda
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 19:12:40 GMT

Trump loyalists make baseless link between attack and US border and say cabinet nominees must be urgently ratified

Republicans in the US Senate are attempting to exploit the New Year’s Day attack that killed 14 victims in New Orleans, injuring dozens more, to push through Donald Trump’s most controversial cabinet nominations and rocket-charge the incoming president’s anti-immigration agenda – despite the fact that the attacker was a US citizen born and raised in east Texas.

Several Senate Republicans appeared on Sunday’s political shows to call for an urgent approval of the most contentious of Trump’s cabinet selections, who are facing a tough confirmation process. They include Kash Patel, chosen by Trump for FBI director; Pete Hegseth for defense secretary; and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence.

Elon Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader hours after Farage described the billionaire businessman as “a hero”, in what is likely to be a preview of how a chaotic Donald Trump presidency could affect British politics.

Farage, who is also the de facto owner of Reform, “doesn’t have what it takes”, Musk said on X, the social media platform he owns, less than three weeks after the pair held seemingly warm talks at Trump’s Florida home. “The Reform party needs a new leader,” he wrote.

Americans are taught FDR was the hero of the Great Depression. For one historian, that’s erasure
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 15:00:21 GMT

In a new book, Dana Frank tells stories of the people who ‘made history happen’ through organizing and mutual aid

Historian Dana Frank treasures a photo from a 1937 edition of Life magazine. It shows a group of seven African American women, clustered close, sitting on chairs in a small space. Each wears a fashionable hat and is bundled in a coat appropriate for the late Chicago winter. At first glance, the photo appears to be a gathering of friends. All are smiling, and some appear to be laughing, as they talk with each other.

The women were actually on strike, occupying the city hall office of the president of the Chicago board of health. As wet nurses for a local hospital, they were paid $0.04 for each ounce of breast milk they produced. The women all knew that the white wet nurses at another hospital were getting paid $0.10 per ounce. “They shouldn’t make any difference between us,” Louise Clark, a wet nurse on strike, told reporters at the time.

Trump has made no secret of his intention to punish his political enemies and subvert the American voting system. His control of the justice department could allow him to amplify misleading claims of voter fraud by non-citizens and others, as well as investigate local election officials.

Rosita Missoni obituary
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 17:52:27 GMT

Co-founder of the eponymous Italian fashion label celebrated for its colourful textiles and zigzag knitwear

Rosita Missoni, who has died aged 93, came out of the historic heartland of Italian textiles in northern Lombardy, and though she travelled worldwide for decades and the Missoni fashion and decor brand became famous globally, she remained devoted to her native terroir. All the artistic, artisanal, and ever-inventive technological skills that sustained the company’s success over 70 years were as much part of the locality as its mountains and lakes.

The other company founder, her husband, Ottavio (Tai) Missoni, was originally from the shores of the Adriatic, but was working in knits, and on marriage migrated to her territory. Theirs was a union of complementary talents – Tai was an artist of great colour gifts who choreographed how yarns should be fed into which machine to knit what pattern, while she shaped the firm’s overall fashion direction and uses of the output.

Maybe I was just prone to shin splints? Perhaps your calves were supposed to burn with every stride? Or – lightbulb moment – could it be that these post-jog aches and pains were a symptom of my wildly inappropriate footwear?

As with millions of rookie runners before me, my problems melted away when I bought myself a pair of proper running shoes. Fifteen years and countless pairs later, I know just how much difference they can make. However, this isn’t a simple case of one size fits all.

January style essentials by Jess Cartner-Morley: from super scarves to all-weather leggings

How do you reset your wardrobe for the new year? Our fashion guru reveals her hardworking heroes for January

The bar for shopping recommendations is high at this point of the year. No one has the appetite – or the funds – for shopping for the sake of it in January. Don’t know about you but, frankly, I never want to see another nick-nack. And having overindulged throughout the festive season, I have the sparkle equivalent of a hangover. Just thinking about sequins makes me feel nauseous.

So, if I’m going to buy something, or suggest you do, at the dawn of the new year then it is with good reason. Investments in keeping your new year fitness resolutions are worth making because those are promises to yourself. Small treats are sometimes necessary to get you through the darkest days of winter. And, it’s never too early to look for the pieces that will shift your wardrobe into a 2025 vibe: the sooner you start wearing them, the more wear you get out of them. Here are my very best sober, no-sparkle January finds.

Rosita Missoni obituary
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 17:52:27 GMT

Co-founder of the eponymous Italian fashion label celebrated for its colourful textiles and zigzag knitwear

Rosita Missoni, who has died aged 93, came out of the historic heartland of Italian textiles in northern Lombardy, and though she travelled worldwide for decades and the Missoni fashion and decor brand became famous globally, she remained devoted to her native terroir. All the artistic, artisanal, and ever-inventive technological skills that sustained the company’s success over 70 years were as much part of the locality as its mountains and lakes.

The other company founder, her husband, Ottavio (Tai) Missoni, was originally from the shores of the Adriatic, but was working in knits, and on marriage migrated to her territory. Theirs was a union of complementary talents – Tai was an artist of great colour gifts who choreographed how yarns should be fed into which machine to knit what pattern, while she shaped the firm’s overall fashion direction and uses of the output.

Julian Lennon: ‘I’m not part of the Beatles inner circle – I never have been’
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 09:30:14 GMT

The musician and photographer on escaping the shadow of his father, writing a memoir with a difference, and why his days of wallowing are over

Born in Liverpool, Julian Lennon, 61, was raised almost solely by his mother Cynthia, but has spent his adult years labouring to get out from under the shadow of his famous father, John. Already a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, children’s author, documentary film-maker and philanthropist, he’s now moved into fine art photography with a glossy new book, Life’s Fragile Moments. Spanning more than 20 years of work, it includes reportage taken while travelling the world for his charity, the White Feather Foundation; a closeup of his half-brother, Sean Lennon, taken on tour; and candid glimpses of a royal wedding. He lives in Monaco.

How did you get interested in photography?
I think I was about 11 years old when I first went out to the US to see Dad, and he had a very simple brown leather Polaroid camera that he used a fair amount – I have it here. I was really fascinated. That immediacy was exciting. I tried becoming a photographer with film, but always had problems – although I have great patience on some levels I have little in other circumstances. Then digital came along.

Let’s start the year with one of life’s great philosophical questions: is there such a thing as bad fried chicken? You, the non-meat-eater at the back, put your hand down. We know your answer. This one is for the rest of you. Obviously, there can be better fried chicken and great fried chicken but, rancid oil aside, can it ever be so dreadful that you are not willing to entertain the idea of eating it? We’ve all heard the saying that “There is no such thing as bad pizza.” While I’m more than capable of worrying over the chewiness or otherwise of a blistered crust, or kvetching about sauce and topping ratios, I get the point. Speaking on behalf of my inner 13-year-old, it seems obvious that a day with pizza in it is probably better than one without, however lacklustre the pizza might be. Ditto fried chicken. The appeal is just so obvious: a shattering, highly seasoned crumb, which coats folds of crispy skin, giving way to the meat within. On the bone or off, it is one of life’s great, visceral pleasures.

Questions to ask yourself … to be a more confident parent
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 13:00:18 GMT

Emily Oster, parenting guru and professor of economics, offers advice on finding your way as a parent

One thing that often distinguishes whether advice is helpful is if the person giving it is in any position to judge. Most advice is data combined with your preferences, so someone who doesn’t have those is rarely able to help you make a decision. The closer someone is to you, the more likely they share some of your values, so there are people – such as your parents – where sometimes you want to listen, and sometimes you don’t. Then there are strangers on the internet, people at the park – ask yourself: “Why would I be interested in what this person thinks?”

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 11:00:14 GMT

A prisoner who brought a legal challenge in April 2023 alleging he had been held in solitary confinement in England for more than two years has said he remains in isolation 20 months later because the judge has not given her decision in the case.

Kevan Thakrar, who is serving a life sentence for murder and attempted murder after being convicted on a joint enterprise basis in October 2008, brought a judicial review against the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) claiming unlawful solitary confinement.

Biden signs bill to boost social security payments for millions of public workers
Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:01:45 GMT

President says Social Security Fairness Act will benefit ‘Americans who have worked hard all their lives’

Joe Biden has signed into law a measure that boosts social security payments for current and former public employees – such as teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public-service workers – in what the White House has described as the first expansion of such benefits in 20 years.

“The bill I’m signing today is about a simple proposition: Americans who have worked hard all their lives … should be able to retire with economic security and dignity,” Biden said. “That’s the entire purpose of the social security system crafted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt nearly 90 years ago.”

Republicans try to exploit New Orleans attack to push through Trump agenda
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 19:12:40 GMT

Trump loyalists make baseless link between attack and US border and say cabinet nominees must be urgently ratified

Republicans in the US Senate are attempting to exploit the New Year’s Day attack that killed 14 victims in New Orleans, injuring dozens more, to push through Donald Trump’s most controversial cabinet nominations and rocket-charge the incoming president’s anti-immigration agenda – despite the fact that the attacker was a US citizen born and raised in east Texas.

Several Senate Republicans appeared on Sunday’s political shows to call for an urgent approval of the most contentious of Trump’s cabinet selections, who are facing a tough confirmation process. They include Kash Patel, chosen by Trump for FBI director; Pete Hegseth for defense secretary; and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence.

The Guardian view on film and feminism in China: women feel Her Story is their story | Editorial
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 18:25:24 GMT

The hit comedy has struck a chord by celebrating female friendship and pushing back against misogyny

Just over a year ago, Xi Jinping told China’s national women’s congress that the Communist party must “actively foster a new type of marriage and childbearing culture”. For the last two years, there has been not one woman on the 24-strong politburo (no women have ever reached its standing committee, China’s most senior political body). Activism on women’s issues, as in other areas, has been pushed underground.

Yet while the political environment is dismal, the unexpected success of a low-budget comedy speaks volumes about the way that feminism has gone mainstream in China. This winter’s surprise hit has been Her Story, the tale of a do-it-all single mother’s unexpected friendship with an artsy, sentimental neighbour, which topped the Chinese box office.

India bade farewell to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, the architect of the country’s economic transformation, with a state funeral in New Delhi, complete with full honours and a 21-gun salute.

Sikh priests chanted hymns as Singh’s flag-draped coffin, strewn with rose petals, was carried on a carriage through the capital, pulled by a ceremonially decorated army truck. Congress party supporters chanted: “As long as the sun and moon remain, your name will remain,” and “Long live Manmohan Singh” as Singh’s body was removed from the headquarters of the left-leaning party, where it had been lying in state.
