World’s largest food awards move judging panel from UK to Ireland to avoid Brexit red tape
Sun, 26 May 2024 05:00:45 GMT
Due to new import controls, a judging session for the Great Taste awards is being held outside the UK for the first time in 30 years
The Great Taste awards are a British success story – the world’s largest food awards, celebrating the best products on the planet. But new post-Brexit import controls have forced the organisers to hold a judging panel outside the UK for the first time in the awards’ 30-year history.
On Sunday, judges from the Guild of Fine Foods panel will travel to County Tipperary in Ireland to spend three days tasting products that have become much harder to bring to the UK.

Sam’s Montpellier, Cheltenham: ‘Dishes that deserve our attention’ – restaurant review
Sun, 26 May 2024 05:00:47 GMT
Done with small plates? Then you’ll miss the jazzy cooking at this cheery Cheltenham spot
Sam’s Montpellier, Montpellier Courtyard, Montpellier Street, Cheltenham GL50 1SR (01242 252752). Earth £7.50-£10.50, Land £11-£15.50, Sea £12-£13, Heaven £8, wines from £25
At the start, our delightful waiter announces that the menu here at Sam’s Montpellier is “a little bit different”. That’s a four-word phrase guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of, well, me. What in God’s name is going to happen in this sharp-edged restaurant in Cheltenham, where life is meant to be as unchallenging as an episode of Countryfile? Am I going to have to lick a black pudding espuma from a plaster cast of the chef’s lips? Will each dish be spoon fed to me while I’m forced to wear headphones and listen to a soundtrack of Jacob Collier telling me which key I’m masticating in? It’s the middle of the jazz festival. It could happen. Oh no. It’s worse than that, isn’t it? It’s going to be starters in a dog bowl and desserts off a trowel. I just know it.

Bonmatí and Putellas fire Barcelona to Champions League glory against Lyon
Sat, 25 May 2024 18:11:54 GMT
Bilbao is used to being decorated in stripes, the flags of their beloved Athletic Club hang from every other window, but on Saturday the city found itself swamped in less familiar colours, Barcelona’s red and blue filling every bar and populating every square as travelling fans celebrated beating Lyon in a Champions League final at the third time of asking.
It was their talismanic duo, the playmaker Aitana Bonmatí and their superstar Alexia Putellas, who delivered in front of 50,827 fans. Bonmatí’s effort took a deflection off Vanessa Gilles to take it past Christiane Endler shortly after the hour mark, before Putellas added the second three minutes after coming on deep into added time. It was deserved, the French champions were unable to handle the guile of the world’s best passers of the ball who secured a historic quadruple.

Jeff Dodds: the Formula E boss planning a move into pole position
Sat, 25 May 2024 15:00:28 GMT
Petrolheads are quick to scorn the idea of electric car racing, but the series’ chief executive is sure that time, technology – and even geography – are on his side
Jeff Dodds has been a fan of Formula One “all my life”, he says. That is probably a good thing because, as chief executive of electric racing series Formula E, he must find the comparison with its fossil-fuelled cousin is constant.
So he takes it head-on. Such is the growth and improvement in technology in Formula E that one day, he says, it is “realistic that a question will be asked about whether both can exist together”. Talking to the Observer in the race company’s west London headquarters, he adds that maybe one day, as Formula E develops, “they won’t [both exist]”.

‘Race suicide’: Sir William Walkley’s unearthed report on apartheid South Africa reveals birthrate fears

Exclusive: The founder of Australia’s most prominent media awards visited the apartheid state in 1958 and judged it ‘a grand country with a great future’
The Ampol founder, Sir William Walkley, derided apartheid South Africa’s failure to attract white migrants as “race suicide” in 1958 and warned the country faced a potential bloodbath if a communist leader emerged who was “perhaps a half-breed with the white man’s intelligence”.
The comments are contained in a report produced by Walkley – whose Walkley Foundation still runs Australia’s most prestigious media awards – on a four-week tour of South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to assess the prospects for Ampol expanding into those countries.

Federal prosecutors on Friday asked the judge in Florida overseeing the classified documents case against Donald Trump to bar the former president from public statements that “pose a significant, imminent and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents” participating in the prosecution.
The request was made to the federal district judge in the case, Aileen Cannon. It follows a distorted claim by Trump earlier this week that the FBI agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in August 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” and were “locked and loaded ready to take me out and put my family in danger”.

Almost 70 years ago, in the early days of apartheid, more than 3,000 people gathered in a dusty square to draw up the Freedom Charter, demanding a series of rights and proclaiming that South Africa “belongs to all who live in it, black and white”.

On the Zero-Day Market
2024-05-24T11:07:53Z
New paper: “Zero Progress on Zero Days: How the Last Ten Years Created the Modern Spyware Market“:
Abstract: Spyware makes surveillance simple. The last ten years have seen a global market emerge for ready-made software that lets governments surveil their citizens and foreign adversaries alike and to do so more easily than when such work required tradecraft. The last ten years have also been marked by stark failures to control spyware and its precursors and components. This Article accounts for and critiques these failures, providing a socio-technical history since 2014, particularly focusing on the conversation about trade in zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits.

While recognizing that controlling this trade is difficult, I argue countries should focus on building and strengthening multilateral coalitions of the willing, rather than on strong-arming existing multilateral institutions into working on the problem.

The agency’s GenCost analysis says a first nuclear plant for Australia would deliver power ‘no sooner than 2040’ and could cost more than $17bn
The Coalition’s pitch on nuclear energy for Australia has had two recurring themes: the electricity will be cheap and it could be deployed within a decade.
CSIRO’s latest GenCost report – a document that analyses the costs of a range of electricity generation technologies – contradicts both of these points. It makes the Coalition’s job of selling nuclear power plants to Australians ever more challenging.

The request was made to the federal district judge in the case, Aileen Cannon. It follows a distorted claim by Trump earlier this week that the FBI agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in August 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” and were “locked and loaded ready to take me out and put my family in danger”.

Puglia’s wines pack a punch
Sun, 26 May 2024 05:00:46 GMT
Why the Italian region’s luscious red, white and rosé wines are having a major moment
Paolo Leo Passitivo Primitivo Organic Appassimento, Puglia, 2022 (from £12.80, ND John) Wines from Puglia seem to be a word-of-mouth hit at the moment. So many friends and family have mentioned the region in Southern Italy’s heel as their best recent vinous discovery – and wine merchants say they’re selling better than any other Italian wine. There’s an obvious explanation: Puglian reds offer rather a lot of rich, concentrated fruit for the money, with a natural sweetness (many have a level of sugar that takes them into off-dry territory) offset by a classic Italian tomato-or-plum-like tartness that makes them extremely good with tomato-based sauces and hard cheese – or a combination of the two on a pizza. Many of the most popular Puglians are made with the appassimento technique, with some or all of the wine made with dried grapes, bringing an extra level of figgy, dark chocolatey richness to a wine such as Paolo Leo’s organic number.
Calcarius Nu Litr Rosso, Puglia, NV (from £22, 1 litre, Juiced Wines) The grape variety responsible for most Puglian reds in UK supermarkets is primitivo, which is genetically identical to Californian zinfandel. And, like its American cousin, primitivo is rather more stylistically various than the popular caricature would have you believe. While many come in the kind of sweetly warming, plummy package offered by Asda’s always-reliable Extra Special Primitivo 2022 (£6.75, down from £7.75, Asda), others go for a tangier, more red-fruited, dry and, in terms of alcohol, lighter (13% rather than 14.5% or more) style, such as Cantine de Falco Primitivo Salento 2022 (£12.95, leaandsandeman.co.uk). Other good Puglian red varieties include negroamaro, which, like primitivo, is capable of making wines in a variety of styles, whether it’s dark and spicy (San Marzano Il Pumo Negroamaro, Salento 2022, £10.95, strictlywine.co.uk) or the light, super-lively, vivaciously cherry-herby and thirst-quenching natural mode of 11.5% abv Calcarius Nu.

The Observer view on the Tories: A chance to pass judgment on 14 years of misrule
Sat, 25 May 2024 18:15:31 GMT
The Conservatives are a spent force with an appalling track record. They deserve a resounding general election defeat
As the Commons held its pre-election valedictory debate last Friday, two more senior Conservatives announced that they would be stepping down: the communities secretary, Michael Gove, and the former cabinet minister Dame Andrea Leadsom. They join 15 other current or former Tory cabinet ministers who are resigning seats, bringing the total number of Conservative MPs standing down to 78, higher than in 1997 when the party stood on the brink of a historic defeat.
This is just the latest indicator of the lack of confidence Conservative MPs have in their own party and its leadership; a party that deserves to be dealt a resounding defeat by voters in the polls on 4 July. Its 14 years in government constitute an appalling track record: the Tories have left Britain a poorer country blighted by rising inequality and falling social mobility; a less confident nation with declining influence on the global stage; and a much tougher place in which to lose your job or to fall sick. Their political choices have worsened the impact of the tough global headwinds of a pandemic and rising energy prices.
