Millions of people across South and Southeast Asia are facing sweltering temperatures, with unusually hot weather forcing schools to close and threatening public health.
Thousands of schools across the Philippines, including in the capital region Metro Manila, have suspended in-person classes. Half of the country’s 82 provinces are experiencing drought, and nearly 31 others are facing dry spells or dry conditions, according to the UN, which has called for greater support to help the country prepare for similar weather events in the future. The country’s upcoming harvest will probably be below average, the UN said.

End of secretary of state Antony Blinken’s three-day visit marks upsurge in military activity after period of relative calm
Taiwan has reported that a dozen Chinese warplanes flew sorties close to the island on Saturday, in a sudden surge of military activity just hours after the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, left Beijing following talks with President Xi Jinping and top Chinese officials.
Before Blinken’s three-day visit to China, US officials had pointed to a period of relative calm in the Taiwan strait over the past few months, after years of aggressive Chinese military manoeuvres and threats, as a factor in improving US-Chinese relations since Joe Biden held a summit meeting with Xi in November.

Despite eventual visa backflip by authorities, ABC’s south-Asia correspondent Avani Dias left after being made to ‘feel so uncomfortable’
The south-Asia correspondent for Australia’s national broadcaster, Avani Dias, has been forced out of India after her reporting fell foul of the Indian government, in a sign of the increasing pressure on journalists in the country under Narendra Modi.
Dias, who has been based in Delhi for the ABC since January 2022, said she felt the government had made it “too difficult” for her to continue to do her job, claiming it blocked her from accessing events, issued takedown notices to YouTube for her news stories, and then refused her a standard visa renewal.

Asked about social media platform Twitter and Elon Musk’s claims that efforts to ensure a video of a stabbing of an Assyrian priest be taken down globally would constitute a threat to “free speech”, Dai Le says supports the government’s effort but has concerns about potential overreach:
Honestly, how can we not stop images of violence?
What I think government needs to do is to get the funding and target that to communities. Communities are experiencing high domestic violence. Getting it implemented … ,making sure that we don’t alienate one group from another [is important].
It’s just not something people can take. It is very emotional for people and me as a person who escaped Vietnam and being a child who ran from the war, it’s very traumatic for me and very traumatic for people in my community.

‘Messianic spell’: how Narendra Modi created a cult of personality
Fri, 19 Apr 2024 12:08:31 GMT
Experts say Indian PM is hoping to be ‘bigger than Gandhi’ as he aims to win a third term in office
As the distant rumble of a helicopter drew closer, cheers erupted from the gathered crowds in anticipation. By the time India’s prime minister finally stepped on to the stage, bowing deeply while immaculately dressed in a white kurta and peach waistcoat and with a neatly trimmed beard, the chants had reached a deafening pitch: “Modi, Modi, Modi.”
These scenes, at a campaign rally on the outskirts of the Uttar Pradesh city of Meerut, have been replicated across the country in recent weeks as Modi and his Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) seek to win a third term in India’s election, which begins on 19 April and goes on for six weeks.

RFK Jr dismisses Trump as ‘unhinged’ after being called a ‘Democrat plant’
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 13:55:40 GMT
‘Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent,’ says independent White House hopeful and challenges ex-president to a debate
Robert F Kennedy Jr has dismissed Donald Trump as “unhinged” after a social media tirade from the former Republican president accused the independent White House hopeful of being a “Democrat plant” and “wasted protest vote”.
“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Kennedy wrote Saturday on X in a post that doubled as a debate challenge. “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.”

They’re back: Cohen and Avenatti return to spotlight at Trump trial
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 11:00:03 GMT
Trump’s former fixer to appear as prosecution witness, while Avenatti, serving prison sentence, willing to testify for defense
As Donald Trump’s hush-money trial enters its second week, jurors will be asked to focus on the testimony of his former Mr Fixit – the disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen.
Cohen, who served as Trump’s personal attorney for 12 years until 2018, is acting as a witness for the New York district attorney, Alvin Bragg. The case could turn on Cohen’s testimony about payments sought by two women, the porn star Stormy Daniels and the Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, and how those payments were made and allegedly disguised, as prosecutors contend, in violation of accounting and political campaign laws.

Russian units have expanded a narrow corridor around the rural settlement of Ocheretyne, captured a week ago. They overran neighbouring hamlets – Solovyove and Novokalynove – and pushed forward to the west.

ISS review – Ariana DeBose shines in tense if contrived International Space Station thriller
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 14:00:05 GMT
DeBose plays a research scientist caught between increasingly at odds astronauts and cosmonauts in Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s credulity-stretching sci-fi drama
Fast-tracked through the space programme, rising star research scientist Dr Kira Foster (Ariana DeBose) finally makes it to the International Space Station. There, she is welcomed by her new colleagues: two American astronauts and three Russian cosmonauts, united by a common goal to work in service of all humankind regardless of nationality, race or creed. Borders, explains cosmonaut Nika (Masha Mashkova), are invisible from space. But there are hints that the idealism and harmony on the ISS might be fragile when Kira’s lab mice react to zero gravity by chewing each other’s limbs off. It’s not the most subtle of metaphors, particularly for the amputee rodents.
When US-Russian hostilities back on Earth boil over into full warfare (strikingly and unsettlingly evoked in the view from orbit, as the blue-green planet turns an angry, inflamed red), the tensions on board soon ignite. It’s a neat premise, with something of the claustrophobia and high-stakes space peril of Danny Boyle’s Sunshine. But while DeBose is impressive, the contrived plot of Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s movie hinges, somewhat preposterously, on rational, highly trained scientific minds devolving overnight into paranoid, murderous maniacs.

England’s Six Nations blitz built on sacrificing discipline for dynamism | Sarah Rendell
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 13:48:44 GMT
The Red Roses proved the sky is the limit but they will need to be keeping 15 players on the field come next year’s World Cup
England Women’s Six Nations campaign was formidable but it seems even more so when you look at their numbers: 270 points scored via 44 tries across five matches, with only 41 points conceded. The captain, Marlie Packer, said after the championship-sealing win over France on Saturday that there are no limits in regards to what the Red Roses can achieve, which must be a daunting prospect for any opposition they face.
Last year, England were criticised for not having a dynamic attack and the team would often rely on their maul to keep the scoreboard ticking over. But this tournament has seen their attack diversify, with tries coming from every area of the pitch. The back three were particularly imposing, and responsible for scoring 18 of England’s 44 tries.
Packer is not the only player who feels the sky is the limit for the Red Roses – it is a team-wide message which provides insight into how all concerned are not resting on their laurels. “I do think we have so much potential and we have so much depth,” said the prop Maud Muir after England’s grand slam win. “There are so many other girls coming through, I’m just really excited to see where we go in the next year or so.”
But how do such a commanding side improve? Well, their tournament was perfect in terms of results, with England coming away with the maximum 25 points available to them to seal a third consecutive grand slam and a sixth straight title. However, their performances, while undeniably impressive, were not the complete product. The main area that the Red Roses need to sharpen is their discipline.
Sarah Beckett, the No 8, received a red card and subsequent three-game ban for her crocodile roll on Michela Sillari in England’s opener against Italy. The hooker Amy Cokayne, meanwhile, was shown a red card after two yellow card offences against Scotland and had a one-game ban. The team also had two other sin-bins in the tournament.

Pope Francis visited a prison for women in Venice on Sunday before a mass in the watery city, during his first trip outside Rome for seven months.
The one-day trip to Venice will be closely watched amid concerns over the fragile health of Francis, 87, who has toured the world extensively in his 11 years as pope but has not travelled since visiting the French city of Marseille in September.

What have I learned from 20 years of parenting? Never to underestimate how wrong I can be | Emma Beddington
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 13:00:05 GMT
We often have as much in common with strangers as our relatives, according to studies – so why do we still love to say our children are like us?
How alike are parents and kids? Quite, right? Surely we all play that game. I, for example, am competitive like my dad (but without a shred of his energy); my sister got my mother’s compassion and I got her lust for crispy potato products and staying in bed. My husband and his mum, meanwhile, share a lively debating style (I’m choosing my words carefully); it’s why their conversations get so … animated.
It’s an assumption that transcends geography: there are “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” equivalents worldwide – mostly tree-related, although I like the Portuguese “a fish’s child knows how to swim”.

Game, set and match: the 20 best sports movies
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 10:00:02 GMT
As Luca Guadagnino’s acclaimed tennis film Challengers makes its case for sporting immortality, critic Guy Lodge chooses 20 of the genre’s undisputed heavyweights
Analogies of life as sport have been exhausted by every PE teacher in existence. In the movies, however, they’re eternally renewable. Take Challengers, Luca Guadagnino’s sleek, sexy, sweat-drenched new film, which hits every metaphor you might expect in its story of three tennis pros locked in a tense love triangle: games are won and lost, points scored, doubles partners swapped, and so on. Shot and paced with the ricocheting energy of a great tennis match, it’s a sports movie that, like many a classic of the genre, understands the parallels between sport and cinema as two great crowd-pleasing pastimes.
The sports movie is pretty much as old as movies themselves: for early silent-cinema pioneers at the turn of the 20th century, the movement and momentum of a baseball game or a boxing match made them as dynamic a subject as any for the camera. Charlie Chaplin’s very first appearance as the Little Tramp, in the short Kid Auto Races at Venice, cast him as a disruptive spectator at a racing-car derby. Classic templates for the genre emerged quickly: the Oscar-winning 1931 hit The Champ nailed a structure for the underdog sporting weepie that shaped everything from Rocky to The Wrestler, while the 1944 Elizabeth Taylor vehicle National Velvet minted a million further feelgood stories of plucky athletes defying the odds. (It’s far harder to involve audiences in stories of an athlete who’s born a winner.)

From petri dish to plate: meet the company hoping to bring lab-grown fish to the table
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 06:00:02 GMT
People want more seafood than the oceans can sustainably supply, so a German firm aims to plug that gap with cultivated fish – but are consumers ready to buy it?
The redbrick offices, just north of Hamburg’s River Elbe and a few floors below Carlsberg’s German headquarters, are an unexpectedly low-key setting for a food team gearing up to produce Europe’s first tonne of lab-grown fish.
But inside Bluu Seafood, past the slick open-plan coffee and cake bar, the rooms are dominated by gleaming white tiles, people bustling about in lab coats, rows of broad-bottomed beakers and pieces of equipment more at home in a science-fiction thriller. A 50-litre tank (a bioreactor) is filled with what looks like a cherry-coloured energy drink. The liquid, known as “growth medium”, is rich with sugars, minerals, amino acids and proteins designed to give the fish cells that are added to it the boost they need to multiply by the million.

Inside anti-doping’s civil war: anger and suspicion spill into the open
Sun, 28 Apr 2024 07:00:06 GMT
Doping case with Chinese swimmers has brought years of pent-up feeling into public domain – and shows no sign of stopping
At its glitzy 25th anniversary gala in Lausanne last month, the World Anti-Doping Agency screened a slick montage highlighting how it had changed sport for the better. There were images of Muhammad Ali defying Parkinson’s to light the Olympic flame and Pelé lifting the World Cup, before a history lesson – and a promise. “Today Wada is a more representative, accountable and transparent organisation,” explained its director general, Olivier Niggli, “that truly has athletes at the heart of everything we do.”
Not everyone in the room was buying it – one source felt it was too PR-focused, while another raised their eyebrows when Thomas Bach – the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) – and the former Wada president Sir Craig Reedie picked up awards. However, frustrations with Wada were largely limited to corridor conversations. It turned out to be the relative calm before the thermonuclear storm.
