I was trapped for 65 hours under 4,000 tons of rubble – and felt an amazing calm
Tue, 11 Feb 2025 10:00:14 GMT
In 1997, the ski lodge where Stuart Diver lived with his wife, Sally, was destroyed by a landslide. She was one of 18 people who died and he was the sole survivor. He describes the pain, fear and long, winding path of recovery
Stuart Diver woke up to a roar that sounded like a low-flying plane. The floor was shaking. The windows rattled. It was 11.35pm and 4,000 tons of mud, building and debris was hurtling down the mountainside in Thredbo, New South Wales, towards Bimbadeen Lodge, where he had been asleep with his wife, Sally. In a few short seconds, the ceiling of their apartment caved in and they were entombed by the concertinaed building. Diver fumbled around in the pitch black room for a way out, cutting his hands and feet on broken glass. But there was nowhere to go.
“I heard the noise and put my head up, but as I rolled forward the wrought iron headboard came down and pinned Sally to the bed.” Freezing cold water from a broken mains water pipe on the road above them soon started “flying around”. Diver found a small pocket of air to breathe by arching his back and tilting his head up. He tried to cover Sally’s mouth to stop her from drowning but he couldn’t save her. “Sal dying in my hands will stay in my mind forever,” he wrote in his 2012 book, Survival.

60 days in bed for science

Video:
00:06:40
A group of volunteers is spending two months lying in bed—with their feet up and one shoulder always touching the mattress—even while eating, showering, and using the toilet. But why? This extreme bedrest study is helping scientists understand how space travel affects the human body and how to keep astronauts healthy on long missions.
Microgravity causes muscle and bone loss, fluid shifts, and other physiological changes similar to those experienced by bedridden patients on Earth. By studying volunteers here on Earth, researchers can develop better countermeasures for astronauts and even improve treatments for medical conditions like osteoporosis.
In this study, participants are divided into three groups: one stays in bed with no exercise, another cycles in bed to mimic astronaut workouts, and a third cycles while being spun in a centrifuge to simulate artificial gravity. Scientists hope artificial gravity could become a key tool in protecting astronauts during deep-space missions.

Jim Chalmers has this morning announced the government is changing rules so banks won’t consider student debt when granting home loans.
Home ownership among young people is low. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, data from August shows the home ownership rate of those born during 1992–96 was 36% in 2021 (when they were aged 25–29), a whole 18 percentage points lower than the 1947–51 cohort at the same age.
We’ve asked the regulators and the banks to take a more reasonable approach to student debt.
It taken Jim Chalmers three years to work out it’s really hard to buy a home if you’re a young person … and we do have to make the environment that everyone lives in much more affordable and get the economy back on track.
Our preference here is for a private sale. We’ve indicated to the bidders in the sale process that we are prepared to negotiate with them packages of support subject to strict conditions
We have already … helped out with some of the debt and in other ways as well, and that’s because we really want to see these flights continuing into regional Australia.

Monday briefing: Why the brutal fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo could spiral into wider war
Mon, 10 Feb 2025 06:53:17 GMT
In today’s newsletter: As Rwandan-backed M23 rebels seize more territory and the humanitarian crisis worsens, what’s the background to the war and prospect of peace?
Good morning. Over the weekend, the presidents of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda – Félix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame – were among those who took part in a regional summit aimed at ending the resurgent violence in eastern DRC. The summit ended with a call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. But while there was a lull in the fighting yesterday, many fear that a ceasefire is less likely than escalation to a wider regional war.
Rwanda does not officially admit to its involvement in the latest episode of the long-running and devastating conflict in eastern DRC. But M23, an armed group with Rwanda’s tacit and practical support, has taken the capital of North Kivu province, Goma, and is now moving south to expand the territory under its control. At stake is control of a mineral-rich region of crucial strategic significance, and the fate of civilians there who are frequently the subject of ethnically targeted attacks – but also the question of whether national borders can act as any sort of constraint.
Arms trade | Britain’s system for controlling arms exports is broken, subject to political manipulation and has seen conduct that crossed the threshold into complicity with war crimes, a former UK diplomat has claimed. Mark Smith said officials were instructed to manipulate findings on the misuse of UK arms by allies.
Immigration | The Home Office is launching a fresh wave of immigration raids as Labour attempts to counter the growing political threat from Reform UK. Amid anger from critics who believe the approach echoes Theresa May’s “hostile environment” regime, the government will broadcast footage of deportations from detention to removal centres and on to waiting planes.
Israel-Gaza war | Israeli forces have withdrawn from the strategic corridor that divides northern and southern Gaza, as part of a ceasefire plan that has brought a fragile pause to the 16-month war. Despite the withdrawal – and the release of hostages and prisoners – little progress has been made on negotiating the second phase of the deal.
Air pollution | More than 1,100 people a year in the UK are developing the most prevalent form of lung cancer as a result of air pollution, the Guardian can reveal. Health experts, cancer charities and environmental campaigners said the UK findings were “devastating”

Hours earlier, Mexico had announced a series of measures to shore up its border, prompting the White House to hastily postpone the imposition of 25% tariffs on all its goods; Canada would announce similar measures, and receive the same reprieve, later that day.

Keir Starmer is in a tight spot, but a ‘Trump, baby, Trump’ strategy just won’t work | Marina Hyde
Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:39:09 GMT
The president has his own laws of physics. The real thing is bad enough: a pale copy doesn’t stand a chance here or in the US
It’s fun that Keir Starmer has finally unveiled a personality – it’s just a shame it’s the radio edit of someone else’s. I’m sure you can guess whose.
Announcing plans to make it easier to build nuclear power stations last week, the prime minister was willingly drawn into some kind of call and response answer to a BBC question, fixing one eye on the cameras and gibbering: “I say: build, baby, build.” Yowch. Hope he sees this, king! On the other hand, this delivery slightly reminded me of Daniel Craig’s accent in Knives Out, of which one co-star opined: “I remember the first time he did that on set, there was kind of a moment of silence after he finished and just a smile on everyone’s face.” Mm. Likewise.

Why giving up the Chagos Islands could cost Britain £9bn – podcast
Wed, 12 Feb 2025 03:00:14 GMT
Eleni Courea discusses the UK’s historic deal to sign sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, and why some inside the Labour party are now regretting it. Campaigner Olivier Bancoult outlines why he hopes the deal will go ahead
In October last year, the UK and Mauritian governments reached a historic agreement to transfer the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands, a series of atolls in the Indian Ocean that have been described as Britain’s last African colony.
It seemed, as political correspondent Eleni Courea describes, a diplomatic triumph for the new Labour government, ending decades of legal dispute over the ownership of the islands. And more than that, it offered Chagossians, after more than 50 years of exile, the prospect of returning home. In the late 1960s, when Britain granted independence to the rest of Mauritius, not only did it insist on carving out the Chagos Islands to keep for itself, but it forcibly displaced more than 1,000 people who lived there.

That tour began with a famous victory in Hyderabad and a tasty fifth-Test decider was in the offing when England took a first-innings lead in the fourth. Then came the contractually obligated collapse to spin before an innings defeat in the final Test.

I’m not here this morning to talk about AI safety, which was the title of the conference a couple of years ago. I’m here to talk about AI opportunity.
When conferences like this convene to discuss a cutting edge technology, oftentimes, I think our response is to be too self conscious, too risk averse. But never have I encountered a breakthrough in tech that so clearly calls us to do precisely the opposite.

Robert F Kennedy Jr has mass appeal despite his extreme ideas. This theory explains why | Darren Loucaides
Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:00:01 GMT
In just a few years, Kennedy and his dangerously popular ‘diagonalist’ politics have gone from the fringes of the web to, perhaps, the White House
“Back at home in the United States, the newspapers are saying that I came here today to speak to about 5,000 Nazis,” Robert F Kennedy Jr told a large crowd in Berlin. Estimated at 38,000 people, the crowd was a mix of hippies, anti-war types, Green party voters and anti-vaxxers, rubbing shoulders with a smattering of skinheads. It was late August 2020 and a group called Querdenken had rallied this motley crew together in defiance of Covid-19 restrictions.
“Governments love pandemics,” Kennedy said. “They love pandemics for the same reason they love war – it gives them the ability to impose controls that the population would otherwise never accept.”
Darren Loucaides is a writer based in Barcelona and London

‘An underground thing’: what happens to a pet when its owners are targeted by immigration raids?

There’s no formal network for families caught up in mass deportations to re-home their pets, but communities are stepping up to help
On 1 February, Kyle Aaron Reese saw a Facebook post from an old school friend urgently looking for someone to adopt a dog named Benny. Benny’s owners had just been deported after an immigration raid in New York City; faced with high costs and uncertainty, they hadn’t been able to take Benny with them. Reese did not have to stare long at the photo of the jowly bulldog’s silly smile before jumping in his car to go pick him up.
“Everything about what I learned about that dog made me want him more,” said Reese, who is 39 and lives in Brooklyn.

In a new book, the Arkansas senator Tom Cotton condemns Elon Musk for “chasing Chinese dollars” and having “shamefully supplicated China’s Communist rulers”, in order to advance his own interests as chief executive of companies including Tesla and SpaceX.
It’s an explosive charge from the Republican chair of the powerful Senate intelligence committee, given that Musk, the world’s richest person, is a major donor and close adviser to Donald Trump, now working at the heart of the president’s administration to slash costs and reshape the federal government.

What Republicans really mean when they blame 'DEI' | Mehdi Hasan
Tue, 11 Feb 2025 11:00:56 GMT
Referencing DEI is the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism
In 1981, Lee Atwater, the most influential Republican party strategist of the late 20th century, sat down for an off-the-record interview with the political scientist Alexander P Lamis. At the time, Atwater was a junior member of the Reagan administration, but he would later go on to run George HW Bush’s presidential campaign in 1988 and then become chair of the Republican National Committee in 1989.
In perhaps the most revealing, and most infamous, portion of the interview, the hard-charging Republican operative explained to Lamis how Republican politicians could mask their racism – and racist appeals to white voters – behind a series of euphemisms.
You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘[N-word, N-word, N-word]’. By 1968 you can’t say ‘[N-word]’ – that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites … ‘We want to cut this,’ is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than ‘[N-word, N-word]’.

The Tory leader, Pierre Poilievre, had seized on a controversial carbon levy, and pledged to make the next federal vote an “axe the tax” election. Pollsters predicted his party would seize a convincing majority of seats. The country was on the cusp of a new Conservative era.

Jenin’s refugee camp, one of 19 across the West Bank built in the aftermath of Israel’s creation in 1948 to house displaced Palestinians, is a centre of armed Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation.
The occupation soldiers opened fire on the journalists present in the Jenin camp, detained a group of them, interrogated them, confiscated their phones, and prevented them from returning to the camp.
The occupation continues to demolish and burn the homes of citizens in the camp, amid intensive flying of drones.

Sherratt given Wales job for rest of Six Nations after Gatland’s abrupt exit

Cardiff’s Matt Sherratt has been handed the Wales coaching reins on an interim basis after Warren Gatland’s second spell as head coach ended abruptly on Tuesday. Welsh supporters have been warned, however, there is “no magic bullet” that will instantly revive the national team after their dismal 22-15 defeat by Italy on Saturday.
Gatland has departed “by mutual agreement” after 14 successive Test defeats, the worst run in the country’s 144-year international rugby history.

Time for BP’s chair to head for the exit | Nils Pratley
Tue, 11 Feb 2025 18:28:36 GMT
Helge Lund is too closely tied to share price failure and BP’s inability to carry its investors with it
Here – maybe only for another two weeks – is how BP describes the progress of its current strategy: “Since we set out our strategy in 2020, our track record of delivery has given us increased confidence as we invest in BP’s transition and the energy transition,” boasts the website.
That message will soon be deemed non-operative, one suspects. The shoddy share price says the stock market doesn’t have “increased confidence” in BP’s current approach, and it sounds as if the board doesn’t either. The strategy will be “fundamentally reset” on 26 February, chief executive Murray Auchincloss said on Tuesday, and there will be “a new direction for BP.”
