‘All ranks’ among casualties in Kursk after Pyongyang sent thousands of soldiers to reinforce Russia’s war effort
North Korean forces have suffered “several hundred” casualties fighting against Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk region, according to a senior US military official.
Pyongyang has sent thousands of troops to reinforce Russia’s war effort, including to the Kursk border region, where Ukrainian forces seized territory earlier this year.

Trump lashes out at judge who refused to dismiss business fraud conviction – as it happened
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 21:00:10 GMT
This live blog is now closed. For the latest on US politics, see our full coverage here.
Donald Trump posted a long and angry message on Truth Social, after a New York judge refused to dismiss his conviction on 34 business fraud charges. His lawyers had argued, to no avail, that the supreme court’s ruling earlier this year granting presidents immunity for official acts should get the verdicts against him overturned. Trump’s attorneys were nonetheless busy with other matters today, after reportedly filing a civil fraud suit against the Des Moines Register and Iowa’s top pollster Ann Selzer over a poll they released on the eve of the presidential election showing Kamala Harris with a narrow lead among the red state’s voters. Trump ended up winning Iowa handily, and has trained his ire on Selzer and the Register in the weeks since.
Here’s what else has been going on today:
Electors are meeting in all 50 states today to certify Trump’s victory in the presidential race last month. This is the same process he tried to disrupt four years ago, when Joe Biden was the winner.
Trump’s allies gathered for a gala in New York last night, where they mused about the president-elect seeking a third term in 2028. The constitution prevents him from doing this.
The president-elect again referred to Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, as “governor”, and attacked his outgoing deputy, Chrystia Freeland, with claims that she was preventing the two countries from agreeing to a trade deal.

Anxious scientists brace for Trump’s climate denialism: ‘We have a target on our backs’

Experts express fear – and resilience – as they prepare for president-elect’s potential attacks on climate research
As the world’s largest gathering of Earth and space scientists swarmed a Washington venue last week, the packed halls have been permeated by an air of anxiety and even dread over a new Donald Trump presidency that might worsen what has been a bruising few years for science.
The annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting drew a record 31,000 attendees this year for the unveiling of a slew of new research on everything from seismology to climate science to heliospheric physics, alongside a sprawling trade show and bouts of networking as scientists jostle to advance their work.

In this week’s Down To Earth newsletter: The global crackdown against climate activists and groups is clearly part of the fossil fuel industry’s strategy to crush dissent and keep burning the planet
• Don’t get Down to Earth delivered to your inbox? Sign up here to get the newsletter in full
Back in early August, I reported on the arrest of two climate activists outside the New York headquarters of Citibank, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel financiers and target of a campaign known as Summer of Heat.
John Mark Rozendaal, a former music instructor at Princeton University, and Alec Connon, director of the climate nonprofit group Stop the Money Pipeline, were detained for 24 hours and charged with criminal contempt, which carries up to seven years in prison. Why? Rozendaal was playing a Bach solo on his cello while Connon sheltered him with an umbrella – which police claimed broke the conditions of a temporary restraining order that related to another bogus charge of assault (that was later dropped).

Rage, chair-throwing and sleepless nights: behind the scenes of The Jerry Springer Show
Wed, 18 Dec 2024 05:00:38 GMT
In the late 90s, Springer’s talkshow dominated the ratings with some of the most controversial stories ever told. It certainly wasn’t easy to make – but what do its producers think of it now?
Is there anything The Jerry Springer Show wouldn’t do? The shock talkshow, an arena for people in love triangles to come to blows, also featured incest, white supremacists and a man who married his horse. “I did pitch a guy having an affair,” says Tobias Yoshimura, one of the show’s producers. “He was a necrophiliac. That one got shot down pretty quickly.” Perhaps not so much for matters of taste, as for the practicalities of television and any hopes of a good fight scene. The third guest – the shock reveal of the affair partner – says Yoshimura with a wry smile, “would have to be a cadaver. So that was the step too far.”
The Jerry Springer Show, which ran from 1991 before finally fizzling out in 2018, started as a mundane daytime talkshow, fronted by Springer, a mild-mannered news anchor and former mayor of Cincinnati. Threatened with cancellation because of its terrible ratings, its new executive producer, Richard Dominick, took it in a sensationalist direction. It became a phenomenon and at its height in the late 90s, its ratings were bigger than Oprah Winfrey’s. Morality campaigners held protests outside the studios; many others claimed it had corroded American society. Take it further and you could argue that it is (partly) responsible for everything from the worst of reality TV to the way people behave on social media and even the rise of Donald Trump. “He took my show and brought it to the White House,” Springer said in 2019.

Elon Musk is on track to be a trillionaire – if America doesn’t turn against him first | Arwa Mahdawi
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 16:16:29 GMT
He has wiggled his way into power thanks to his wealth. But once he is making decisions that affect people’s daily lives, Musk may find the shine wears off
Congratulations to Elon Musk, a genius of truly galactic proportions, who recently made what might have been the world’s savviest investment. The tech billionaire spent more than $277m backing Donald Trump, along with a number of other Republican candidates in the election – and that quarter-billion-dollar investment has paid off nicely. Musk’s net worth has increased by 77% since Trump’s victory, and has now surpassed $400bn (£315bn), according to a recent estimate from Bloomberg, making him the first person ever to officially reach such a milestone. Still, in just a couple of years, Musk’s current fortune might look like chump change: the man is reportedly on track to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
How did he get (even more) rich so quick? Well, if you want to be diplomatic about it, as CNN was, you can say something like “an alliance with president-elect Donald Trump has pushed his ventures to the forefront”. But the more direct answer is that everyone knows the incoming Trump administration’s guiding principle is quid pro quo. Since it seems highly likely that taxpayer money will be funnelled towards Musk’s various companies, the value of those companies has been blowing up. Kind of like his SpaceX rockets – one of which exploded so ferociously earlier this year that it tore a hole in the ionosphere. Is that a bad thing? Iono.

The question these communities will ask over the next four years is who the civil rights division under Donald Trump will protect.

A senior Russian general has died after an explosive device hidden in an electric scooter detonated outside an apartment building in Moscow, in an attack claimed by Ukraine that marks one of the boldest targeted assassinations of a senior military official since Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country.
Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, the head of the military’s chemical, biological and radiological weapons unit, was killed along with his assistant when the blast went off as the two men left a building in a residential area in south-east Moscow on Tuesday.

The Guardian view on a Moscow assassination: Ukraine’s justified strike and Russia’s baseless outrage | Editorial
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:32:21 GMT
Kyiv’s targeted killings expose the reach of its intelligence services, challenging the Kremlin’s war machine while sticking to the laws of war
Russia’s leadership is furious that one of their top commanders has been assassinated by Ukrainian spies. Yet their anger seems misplaced: the targeted killing of Lt Gen Igor Kirillov was not an unprovoked act, but a consequence of Russia’s ongoing offensive and Ukraine’s right to defend itself under international law.
The explosion that shook a quiet Moscow neighbourhood – eliminating the head of the Russian military’s chemical, biological and radiological weapons unit, known as RKhBZ – also revealed the unexpectedly formidable capabilities of Ukraine’s secret service (SBU). The general and his assistant are the most senior figures assassinated since Russia’s 2022 invasion. The pair were killed when a bomb, concealed in a parked scooter outside a Moscow residential building, was remotely detonated.

Oleksandr Usyk on lifting Ukrainian soldiers’ morale and keeping Tyson Fury quiet
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 18:00:23 GMT
Undisputed world heavyweight champion says he doesn’t want to be seen as an icon, he simply wants to fight better to win the rematch on Saturday
Oleksandr Usyk, the world heavyweight champion, carries himself with such a light and humorous touch that it is easy to forget the burden of responsibility bearing down on him. As Ukraine’s war against Russia grinds on, Usyk knows that millions of people are relying on him to spread a rare flurry of good news when he defends his world titles against Tyson Fury late on Saturday night in Riyadh.
Their first fight, in May, which Usyk won on a split decision, produced a battle for the ages, but Usyk has to be prompted gently to discuss the impact of his achievements on Ukraine’s morale. “Of course I was speaking with Ukrainian soldiers, with my friends who are now protecting my country, about the fight,” Usyk says. “I will tell you one story. There is the frontline where the fighting is taking place. And the guys on the second line, they have special communications connecting them to the frontline of the battlefield. They have nicknames like ‘Rocket’.”

The chemical weapon accusations against the general killed in Moscow

The US and UK say Igor Kirillov was head of a unit partly responsible for chemicals on the battlefield in Ukraine
Gasping, choking. On Ukraine’s frontline, the country’s soldiers report what statistics show: a persistent use of chemical weapons, mostly teargas, whose deployment on the battlefield is illegal. The US and UK go further in their accusations and say Russia is using another toxic agent, chloropicrin, first employed to gruesome effect in the trenches of the first world war.
Behind the effort are the radiological, chemical and biological defence troops of the Russian ministry of defence, known as RKhBZ. The US and UK say they are a specialised unit, responsible in part for the use of chemicals on the battlefield, and their head was Igor Kirillov, killed in Moscow by a bomb hidden in a scooter, in an attack that was carried out by Kyiv.

Two men had been leaving a residential building when the blast happened. It was 6.12am. One was Lt Gen Igor Kirillov, the head of the Russian army’s chemical weapons division. Kirillov was a key player in Moscow’s ruthless war against Ukraine. The other was Kirillov’s assistant. Video shows their last moments as they walked into the street.

Catching his gaze, the soldier offered it to him. The bearded fighter took a drag and shrugged, giving a thumbs up to the Russian soldier, who let him keep it.
Just over a week ago, Russian jets taking off from Khmeimim airbase were heading to northern Syria to drop bombs on rebel groups. This week, Russians are negotiating with the same factions, now in control of the country after their 12-day lightning offensive that toppled the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad.

Mufasa: The Lion King review – storytelling takes pride of place in punchy origin tale
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 17:00:24 GMT
This heartfelt prequel to the 1994 classic recounts the dramatic backstory of King Mufasa but is scarred by a forgettable musical score
How did Scar, the wicked uncle from The Lion King voiced by Jeremy Irons, get to be so … well … wicked? How is it that he was only ever known by that cruel and callous nickname, while everyone else got noble-sounding multisyllabic names ending in vowels? Was he once nice, even misunderstood? And, in providing the answers, will the prequel give a clear rebuke to the now rather discredited facial-scarring-equals-evil equation? Well, the answers will show that this movie musical, like the original, is still a rather old-fashioned Kiplingesque creation at heart.
It is certainly Scar who has the important character arc and narrative journey here, so it should perhaps be his name in the title. Mufasa, originally voiced by the legendary James Earl Jones, here turns out to be a thoroughly and unsurprisingly decent character from the outset. This movie, a backstory-followup to the 1994 classic in the same photorealistic animated style as the 2019 reboot, is in fact a punchy, heartfelt and rather ingenious drama, with a fair bit of storytelling energy from screenwriter Jeff Nathanson and director Barry Jenkins.

Rapid action against an invasive bee-killing hornet has stopped its spread in the UK despite suitable climate and habitat for the insect, a study has found.
Research led by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) looked at how suitable European countries were for the yellow-legged or Asian hornet to become established, and how they might have spread without action.

For a technology that seems startling in its modernity, AI sure has a long history. Google Translate, OpenAI chatbots, and Meta AI image generators are built on decades of advancements in linguistics, signal processing, statistics, and other fields going back to the early days of computing—and, often, on seed funding from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Prince Andrew’s ‘opaque’ finances provoke calls for register of royal interests

Claims of refused FOI requests into Duke of York’s business dealings come as controversy over alleged Chinese spy continues
Getting information from government departments about the Duke of York’s past business dealings is like playing “whack-a-mole”, it was claimed, as fallout over the alleged Chinese “spy” controversy continues, with China saying it was an attempt to “smear” it.
Calling for a register of royal interests, similar to that for MPs, and a full inquiry by the public accounts committee into royal finances, researchers trying to investigate Prince Andrew’s “opaque” finances claim their freedom of information (FoI) requests are regularly refused, making their work “impossible”.

The prince and the ‘spy’ – podcast
Wed, 18 Dec 2024 03:00:34 GMT
Prince Andrew is in trouble again, this time for meeting a businessman who has denied spying for China. Dan Sabbagh and David Pegg report
In parliament, it has sparked fears about how far the British establishment has been infiltrated by spies. In Beijing, there has been outrage. For Prince Andrew, it has led to him missing Christmas dinner at Sandringham with the rest of the royal family. It is fair to say the accusation that the Chinese businessman Yang Tengbo has been spying for China has caused a serious stir.
While Dan Sabbagh tells Michael Safi what we know about the extent of Chinese spying in the UK and how it works, David Pegg examines how the scandal unfolded and caused Tengbo’s meetings with everyone from Prince Andrew to Theresa May to be put under scrutiny – and why, for the man at the centre of the story, it is all an unfair smear on someone who loves the UK and only wants to build better business relations between the UK and China.

I spy another Prince Andrew disaster. Pity the royals: how could they possibly have seen this coming? | Marina Hyde
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 14:51:33 GMT
The Duke of York has proven to be a scandal magnet. He is a problem, a royal problem: it’s time they owned it
No matter how much you try to digest the implications of the alleged Chinese spy scandal, some details are just comically indigestible. Take the fact that Prince Andrew has somehow contrived to find staff even stupider than him. Here is one senior aide called Dominic Hampshire, writing in March 2020 to the Chinese businessman with whom the Duke of York has found himself unfortunately entangled: “Outside of [Andrew’s] closest internal confidants, you sit at the very top of a tree that many, many people would like to be on.” Sorry, is this March 2020? A full four months after the four-dimensional pile-up that was Andrew’s Newsnight interview? Which was followed immediately by the duke’s own mother sacking him? Dominic, there were ventilators that people would rather have been on than that tree.
Or take the fact that the rural Buckinghamshire pub where David Cameron took the Chinese premier Xi Jinping for a pint in 2015 was bought by a Chinese firm called SinoFortune, which seems to have promised billions of UK investment that never materialised.

‘Where’s the money?’ White outsiders convinced a Native American tribe to start a legal weed business. It ended in disaster
Tue, 17 Dec 2024 12:00:26 GMT
Investors told the Northern Paiute-Shoshone-Bannock people a cannabis farm could bring money, jobs and opportunity to their community — but after the first harvests, residents said, they were sidelined by an opaque operation. Then the travel plaza burned down
It was a September night in 2020 when the fire torched the Red Mountain Travel Plaza. Residents of the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone nation watched as the only gas station and grocery store for miles around vanished amid towering orange flames and acrid smoke.
The convenience store was where the approximately 250 residents went to buy snacks, tobacco and essentials. Without it, they would have to drive more than an hour for major provisions. What’s more, a safe stashed in the back room of the store that tribal officials said held nearly $19,000 in cash allegedly burned up. These were a portion of the profits from a cannabis farm down the road – 20 acres of land that were the subject of much anger and anxiety on the reservation – and the tribe was counting on them.

Sweet, soft, crispy, satisfyingly dense yet fluffy – we have found the perfect pastry. It’s all we think about when we wake up in delightful Ericeira, 30 miles north of Lisbon. We are here for the surf – Ericeira is in a world surfing reserve – but really the ouriço, a pastry unique to this town, is reason enough to visit. It translates as “hedgehog” but also “sea urchin” (Ouriço-do-mar) and sea urchin statues adorn the town. We enjoy the confusion – even our Portuguese friend seems unsure of the pastries’ origin. We get them at Casa da Fernanda. We say we’ll take them to the beach, it’s just a few steps down the road, but in fact we can’t wait and eat them right outside the cafe. We’ll be back for more.
