Why stop at breakfast? We paediatricians think all of England’s primary pupils should have lunch for free | Steve Turner
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 09:00:41 GMT
There are increasing numbers of children with chronic health conditions. It must be on Labour's menu to help them
- Steve Turner is president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
As a nation, we are at a crossroads with child health. Waiting lists are soaring and children now make up three-quarters of all patients who wait more than a year for community health services. When they are eventually treated, their symptoms are more chronic and complex.
As a paediatrician, and the president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), I have watched with horror as this all unfolds. The cost of living crisis has dragged down the health of our children. One in five parents say that because of the cost of living crisis, their children’s physical health has suffered. It is no surprise to me that the number of children with eight or more chronic health conditions doubled from 7.6% in 2012 to 14% in 2018.

Iran’s missile supply to Moscow may reveal true scale of Pezeshkian’s powers
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:03:09 GMT
Despite desire to improve relations with Europe, the president has put Iran back on the sanctions treadmill
Iran’s decision to sell Russia short-range missiles supplementing Moscow’s existing supplies appears, on the surface, to be a political reversal for Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran’s new reformist president.
He was elected on a promise to lift sanctions and develop more balanced relations with the east and west, especially Europe. The bulk of his diplomatic appointments, including the retention of the former foreign minister Javad Zarif as an adviser, underscored that intention, and already a lively debate had started in Tehran about the extent to which Iran and Russia’s interests truly aligned.

Blinken says Russia has received new ballistic missiles from Iran

US and Europe impose new sanctions on Iran in response to supply of weapons that US says Russia could use in Ukraine
Russia has received new deadly ballistic missiles from Iran for use in Ukraine and is likely to use them, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, announced on Tuesday in London as he prepared to travel with the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, to Kyiv.
The news, confirmed by the US for the first time and seen as of huge significance to the battlefield balance ahead of Ukraine’s difficult winter, led the US and Europe to impose new sanctions on Iran, so apparently slamming the door on the prospect of a rapprochement between the new reformist Iranian government and the west.

Trump recently suggested he would support a Florida ballot initiative enshrining abortion rights into the state constitution, only to say the following day, amid blowback from conservative Christians, that he would vote against it.

Trump campaign hopes for a ‘happy version’ of former president, while Harris may aim to elaborate on campaign
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face off on Tuesday night in a presidential debate, the pair’s first – and possibly only – matchup before the November election. It’s widely seen as a crucial moment in the 2024 campaign, where both candidates are currently neck and neck in the polls.
The US vice-president is likely to use the 90-minute debate as an opportunity to provide more detail on her campaign promises, and further her pitch as a candidate separate from Joe Biden. Trump’s campaign is hoping the “happy” version of the former president will turn up.
No opening statements, and closing statements will be two minutes per candidate

The 10 best electric cars to buy if you want to avoid Tesla
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 12:00:40 GMT
Elon Musk turning you off Tesla? Here are 10 of the best electric cars, driven and chosen by our expert
Elon Musk is never far from a headline these days, from his recent inflammatory posts about the far-right riots in the UK to his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. But his increasingly toxic rhetoric is having a knock-on effect: some Tesla owners are starting to rethink whether they should own his electric cars any more. Sales fell in July for the second straight quarter.
It’s a shame, because Tesla makes great electric cars. I’d rate the latest Model 3 as one of the best around. It drives nicely, is built well (a previous Tesla foible), is efficient and Tesla sells it at a price that makes other EV makers do a cartoon double-take. But if you’re committed to electric cars, and Musk is turning you off Tesla, there are plenty of other good options. Established carmakers and newcomers have caught up with and, in many cases, overtaken Tesla with their electric offerings. Here are the 10 best non-Tesla EVs you can buy now; I’ve driven them all except the Renault 5, which is expected to arrive in the UK in the first quarter of 2025.

Well, everything is happening all the time now – so there are any number of topics to dive into.
We could talk about the likelihood of Elon Musk running Donald Trump’s “government efficiency commission” if he is re-elected as US president. But that would involve doing another newsletter on Musk, and you may be as tired as Alex was of that. The likelihood of the latter is still a flip of the coin; the likelihood Musk would stop running his multi-trillion-dollar companies for a low-paying government job, less so.

Ross Kemp: Mafia and Britain review – it’s astounding he gets gangsters to open up this much
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 21:00:51 GMT
Why did the Godfather live in a caravan park in Preston? Kemp traces the links between Italian and British hard men … then heads to Italy for a fascinating and revealing encounter
I could waste the bulk of this review describing what happens when Ross Kemp does his documentaries about violent criminals, but if you’re reading this, then you probably have a strong idea what Ross Kemp: Mafia and Britain is going to be like. The ex-EastEnder has a question about something dodgy, talks to some experts about hard men, talks to some hard men, talks to some other hard men about hard men, looks off towards the horizon like a shooting-cap-wearing Philomena Cunk, then asks another, bigger question, setting off the whole chain of hard-men-on-hard-men once again.
But his bombastic style of documentary-making passes an hour very quickly, and Kemp and his team have found a fascinating subject to explore: do or did the mafia ever operate in the UK, despite a persistent belief that one of the oldest organised crime groups in the world never really got a foothold over here? He begins by going back to the early 80s, and the discovery of a body hanging beneath Blackfriars Bridge in the middle of London. I know about this case, having once taken family members on a tourist boat trip down the Thames, where we quickly learned that our cheerful tour guide was more interested in giving the full details of what is now assumed to have been a gruesome mafia hit than he was in pointing out Big Ben.

Hostility towards migrants led to these deaths in the Channel | Letter
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 16:41:49 GMT
Lesley Hare and Simon Shaw say the obsession with detaining and returning people resulted in 12 people dying in one of the worst tragedies since the small boats crisis began
At the end of August, Care4Calais did its usual distribution in the mainly Eritrean settlement known as “the BMX site” (Police clear site where victims of Channel tragedy are said to have lived, 4 September). Our endeavours to support the community with a distribution of blankets, English lessons, games, facilitating haircuts and phone charging were, however, hampered as the police had placed huge boulders on the site as well as clearing tents. It is likely that these actions by the French state, funded partly by the British, hastened a decision to attempt a crossing.
The people we support in this settlement come from a nation that has been called the “North Korea of Africa”. When they claim asylum in the UK, Eritreans have a very high success rate – 99% in 2023.

What does Georgia Meloni teach us about neo-fascism today? | Luisa Rizzitelli
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:57:02 GMT
The populism championed by Meloni and her allies casts freedom and human rights not merely as dangers but as targets
“Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day” and neither was the consensus for the neo-fascism of the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, in Italy. As the well-known activist and writer Michela Murgia warned, “Do not expect fascism to knock on your door, manifesting itself.” Her words highlight how the current government’s fascism has been creeping in over the years, creating enemies by instilling fear and promoting a racial and religious community that excludes those it deems different.
In this community, patriarchy serves as a perfect ally, providing a means of control under the guise of the Natural Order. It enforces “normality” through binary choices, centering the family around the man as the primary provider while relegating the woman to the role of the “object” who generates and cares.

As the Proms’ eight-week season comes to a close, we’d like to hear about your highlights
The end of the BBC’s Proms is in sight: the classical music festival closes on Saturday with the famous Last Night. These last eight weeks have seen 90 concerts in London’s Royal Albert Hall but also this year in Bristol, Gateshead, Aberdeen, Newport, Belfast, and Nottingham, each one live on Radio 3 and online and streamable until 13 October. From the roof-raising sounds of Handel’s Messiah with six choirs on Choral Day, to starry debutants and the welcome return of a much-loved Proms regular, and daleks to Disco it’s been a hugely varied and lively season.
There was new music from Thomas Adès, Dani Howard, Hans Abrahamsen and Francisco Coll – among many others, and rareties included Busoni’s epic piano concerto and Julius Eastman‘s only surviving orchestra score. Our reviewers have loved the Berlin Philharmonic’s two concerts, also Klaus Mäkelä with the Orchestre de Paris, and the Aurora orchestra’s exploration of Beethoven’s choral symphony was another five-star review.

Time travel in the Italian Alps: a glam stay in a 70s design hotel

On the shores of Lake Caldaro in South Tirol, the striking Seehotel Ambach has barely changed since 1973 – and is all the better for it
When I was about seven years old, my aunt brought me back a souvenir from her trip to America – a yellow trouser suit with yellow-and-purple zigzag-patterned flared trousers. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen and, 50 years later, as I walk into the Seehotel Ambach in Italy’s South Tirol, I can’t help thinking how it’s just the kind of look I should be rocking in the 1970s lobby.
We are greeted by a riot of yellow and orange and a selection of the Italian design industry’s greatest hits from the 70s by Joe Colombo, Ettore Sottsass and others. More recognisable to those not in the know about Milan’s design elite are ashtrays advertising Cinzano, glasses promising the delights of Martini and evocative period commercial poster art. At first it’s hard to get your bearings. It’s not unlike walking into a packed vintage shop on Portobello Road or in Margate, except it’s 33C outside and I can see Lake Caldaro glistening through the window.

The Guardian view on Labour’s strategy: focus on fixing Britain, not fiscal deficits | Editorial
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:01:55 GMT
Ministers have much bigger problems to deal with than principled dissent, and that’s where the government’s attention should be directed
Sir Keir Starmer’s victory on Tuesday in a Commons vote to cut winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners was a pyrrhic one. The British prime minister defeated his internal critics – at a price. It turns out that many Labour MPs have an issue with depriving pensioners who struggle to pay their energy bills of help worth up to £300. More than 50 current and suspended Labour MPs did not vote with the government. One veteran leftwinger, Jon Trickett, a former aide to Gordon Brown, voted against it. Some ministers were permitted to stay away. But scores of Labour parliamentarians – from all wings of the party – conspicuously refused to back their government.
Sir Keir should take the win and let the matter rest there. Enough voices have been suppressed in the party that they have long supported. Ministers have much bigger problems to deal with than principled dissent, and it is there that the government’s attention should be directed. Sir Keir’s party ought to be basking in the afterglow of its sweeping electoral victory in July, which ended 14 years of Conservative rule. Instead, he is having to clean up after his vanquished opponents. The Tories governed like characters in The Great Gatsby, smashing up things only to retreat into their “vast carelessness … and let other people clean up the mess they had made”.

Ministers from the G20 group of developed and developing countries, including the US, UK, China and India, will meet in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday to discuss the global approach to the climate crisis.

How China and a tariffs row cast a shadow over booming US solar power
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 10:00:21 GMT
The source of new renewable energy is also a battleground over China’s cheap exports of panels that has split US firms
The Biden administration touts solar energy as one of its big success stories, a booming new industry that is curbing the effects of the climate crisis and creating high-paying jobs across the country. But the more complicated truth is that the United States is mired in a long-running trade war with China, which is flooding the market with artificially cheap solar panels that carry an uncomfortably large carbon footprint and threaten to obliterate the domestic industry.
The price of solar panels has plummeted 50% over the past year, largely, industry insiders say, because of deliberate Chinese overproduction of key components and a game of international cat-and-mouse over trade rules often likened to a game of “Whac-A-Mole”. As different sets of rules get established, Chinese companies have proved adept at moving their manufacturing plants to other countries, in south-east Asia, and shifting strategies to work around US tariffs and other deterrent measures.

Conclave review – Ralph Fiennes takes charge of tense papal election thriller
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:56:54 GMT
Toronto film festival: the actor leads a top-tier ensemble, including Stanley Tucci and Isabella Rossellini, in an entertainingly juicy adaptation of Robert Harris’s novel
Like the easily devoured paperback it’s based on, pulpy papal thriller Conclave has a brisk, page-turning allure, filled with juicy intrigue and mystery, a beach read that would follow you back home after. We’ve become grimly accustomed to plot-heavy bestsellers such as this stretched out into indulgent 10-episode seasons of television (such as the recently misjudged re-adaptation of Scott Turow’s Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+), a baggy over-extension of stories that demand a tighter grip.
So it’s a mercy of sorts to see All Quiet on the Western Front’s Edward Berger transform Robert Harris’s “unputdownable” pot-boiler into a brisk, contained feature instead, a two-hour escape to the Vatican that knows exactly when to drop us in and take us out. It’s a fairly dry set-up in theory but Harris and playwright Peter Straughan (who co-wrote 2011’s equally involving adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) have found humour and suspense in the fictionalised hunt for a new Pope, an election that propels a timely and tense political thriller, scheduled to be released in the US just days before a real one takes place.

Binoche forever! The eternal allure of Certified Copy

Abbas Kiarostami’s travelogue follows a pair of strangers – or lovers – as they wind down Tuscan alleyways and philosophical rabbit holes. It’s sublime
Those searching for a gentle, rambling hangout movie should look no further than Certified Copy. Those searching for a film that makes them question the very fabric of art and reality should also look no further than Certified Copy. Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami’s scenic Italian travelogue winds down Tuscan alleyways and philosophical rabbit holes alike, inducing a feeling of confused wonder. It’s like waking from a dream, when one briefly perceives the world with a different and beautiful logic.
Though Certified Copy was Kiarostami’s first feature outside Iran, it doesn’t show. His clear, realist style is as transporting here as it is in the dust-swept hills of Tehran in 1997’s Taste of Cherry and the Iranian village Koker in Where is the Friend’s House?, a decade earlier. Renowned for imbuing simple narratives with unknowable complexity, Kiarostami is masterful in crafting this cinematic enigma, as straightforward as things may first seem.

Fawzia Mirza and Amrit Kaur on The Queen of My Dreams: ‘People want to hear more queer Muslim stories’
Tue, 10 Sep 2024 08:43:53 GMT
Mirza’s feature debut may have started with a wish to better understand her conservative Pakistani mother, but the joy it finds as it hops from 90s Canada to 60s Karachi speaks to big questions about south Asian identities
‘I made the first iteration of The Queen of My Dreams before I even knew I was a film-maker,” says Fawzia Mirza of the many years it took to direct her wildly ambitious genre-hopping, time-travelling debut feature. It all began in 2006. She was working as an actor in Chicago, and coming out as queer. She kept “trying to reconcile being queer, being Muslim, and loving Bollywood romance”, a combination that struck her then as impossible. She started work on a video art piece that reflected on Bollywood classics through a queer perspective. A friend suggested they develop it into a short film.
“That was the beginning of my love affair with the film festival space,” she says over a video call from her study in Los Angeles, a busy bookshelf and the movie’s colourful poster in view. “I found this community that I didn’t even know existed. My voice mattered. People were like, ‘We want to hear more queer Muslim stories.’ And I hadn’t gotten that validation or acceptance anywhere else yet.” As for her doubts about whether she could be a queer Muslim Bollywood fan? Making that film “helped me see that the answer is yes. Of course I can be all this at once.”

But it was how he sounded which made him a legend.

Most Frequently Asked Questions About NFTs(Non-Fungible Tokens)
Sun, 06 Feb 2022 10:04:00 +0000
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the most popular digital assets today, capturing the attention of cryptocurrency investors, whales and people from around the world. People find it amazing that some users spend thousands or millions of dollars on a single NFT-based image of a monkey or other token, but you can simply take a screenshot for free. So here we share some freuently asked question about NFTs.
1) What is an NFT?
NFT stands for non-fungible token, which is a cryptographic token on a blockchain with unique identification codes that distinguish it from other tokens. NFTs are unique and not interchangeable, which means no two NFTs are the same. NFTs can be a unique artwork, GIF, Images, videos, Audio album. in-game items, collectibles etc.
2) What is Blockchain?
A blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that allows for the secure storage of data. By recording any kind of information—such as bank account transactions, the ownership of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), or Decentralized Finance (DeFi) smart contracts—in one place, and distributing it to many different computers, blockchains ensure that data can’t be manipulated without everyone in the system being aware.
3) What makes an NFT valuable?
The value of an NFT comes from its ability to be traded freely and securely on the blockchain, which is not possible with other current digital ownership solutionsThe NFT points to its location on the blockchain, but doesn’t necessarily contain the digital property. For example, if you replace one bitcoin with another, you will still have the same thing. If you buy a non-fungible item, such as a movie ticket, it is impossible to replace it with any other movie ticket because each ticket is unique to a specific time and place.
4) How do NFTs work?
One of the unique characteristics of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is that they can be tokenised to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought, sold and traded on the blockchain.
As with crypto-currency, records of who owns what are stored on a ledger that is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. These records can’t be forged because the whole system operates on an open-source network.
