Where can I find a great spa day for less than £150?
Mon, 06 May 2024 07:00:32 GMT
Got a beauty dilemma? Our expert is here to offer advice. This week, Noor is looking for some serious pampering that won’t break the bank
I often joke that I could live in a spa, but if I did, it would cost me a small fortune – and in my experience it’s hard to find affordable options that deliver to the level they should.
It’s worth signing up to the newsletters of any spas you’d like to visit; they’ll let you know about special offers, discounts and cheap off-peak slots. Deal websites such as Groupon and Wowcher often have cheap spa day deals, but check the places on Tripadvisor before you buy – in my experience the most disappointing spas are those attached to a health club, golf hotel or airport hotel. I am wary of huge spas that offer lots of deals. I once visited a spa where I ended up queueing for all the facilities, and it was so busy it felt like a nightclub. Smaller hammams and spas might be more relaxing.

Ukraine war briefing: US and most EU countries to boycott Putin swearing-in ceremony
Tue, 07 May 2024 00:02:38 GMT
US spokesperson says no envoy will attend because Russian president’s election was not ‘free and fair’. What we know on day 804
The US and most EU nations will boycott a Kremlin ceremony to swear in Vladimir Putin for a new six-year term as president on Tuesday, but France and some other EU states were expected to send an envoy despite a plea by Kyiv. “No, we will not have a representative at his inauguration,” Matthew Miller, a US state department spokesperson, said. “We certainly did not consider that election free and fair but he is the president of Russia and he is going to continue in that capacity.”
Russia threatened to strike British military facilities and ordered its military to hold battlefield nuclear weapons drills in a move the Kremlin described as a response to comments from the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and from the British foreign secretary, David Cameron. Macron has said he would “not rule out” the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and Cameron said it was up to Kyiv how it used British weapons, including against targets inside of Russia.
French president Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen pressed Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a summit in Paris on Monday to use Beijing’s influence to halt the Russian war against Ukraine. Europe is concerned that while officially neutral over the Ukraine conflict, China is essentially backing Russia, which is using Chinese machine tools in arms production. “More effort is needed to curtail delivery of dual use goods to Russia that find their way to the battlefield,” von der Leyen said after talks, adding that “this does affect EU-China relations”.
Russian forces have taken control of the settlements of Soloviove in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region and Kotliarivka farther north in the Kharkiv region, the defence ministry said on Monday. Ukraine’s military made no mention of either locality in its evening General Staff report.
The Ukrainian weightlifter Oleksandr Pielieshenko, who finished fourth in the 85kg light-heavyweight category at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, has been killed defending his country. The news was confirmed by the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, who said Pielieshenko died during combat operations on Sunday. He had joined up in the first few days of the Russian invasion in 2022.
A Russian journalist who has worked for both state-funded and independent media was detained Monday and faces charges of justifying terrorism through posts on the Telegram messaging app, her lawyer said. Nadezhda Kevorkova is expected to appear in court on Tuesday, her lawyer Kaloy Akhilgov said on Telegram. If convicted, she could be sentenced to up to five years in prison. Akhilgov said the charges involve two posts, one in 2018 and the other in 2021.
An American soldier was detained in Russia last week on charges of “criminal misconduct,” the US army said Monday. The soldier – whose name was not released – adds to the number of Americans held in Russia at a time of deep tensions with Washington over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
Vladimir Kara-Murza, who has written columns as a contributor for The Washington Post from his prison cell in Russia, won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. The Russian politician, author and historian has been imprisoned in Russia since April 2022. He was convicted of treason last year for denouncing the war in Ukraine.
Poland’s government said Monday it was financing the operation of 20,000 Starlink internet devices in Ukraine – an essential network for the country’s military communications as it fights off Russia’s invasion. Starlink, owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is a network of satellites in low Earth orbit that can provide internet to remote locations, or areas that have had normal communications infrastructure disabled.

Have I got this right? Does Kristi Noem really want Joe Biden to start killing dogs too? | Zoe Williams
Mon, 06 May 2024 15:27:36 GMT
Donald Trump’s would-be running mate has already outraged the US by shooting her own pet. This is no time to double down
When Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor being vetted as a candidate for Donald Trump’s vice-president, admitted in her memoir to having shot and killed her 14-month-old puppy, I have to admit I thought it was a play. She was just testing the waters: how much could she insult human decency without making a dent in her numbers? As the battle rages on, I’m coming to accept that the benighted wire-haired pointer did, for a short time, exist, and was executed for a real crime: chicken killing. It seems a tiny bit unfair, given the two centuries of wire-haired pointer breeding that have gone into creating exactly this fixation with upland (which is to say, non-waterfowl) bird work. But that’s exactly what you’d expect a liberal to say. Next I’ll be on about the death penalty.
Digging in, Noem has gone on to say that not only was she right to execute her pointer, but also that Joe Biden has been remiss in pardoning Major and Commander, both German shepherds inveterately hostile to secret service agents. Commander, with a charge sheet of 24 biting incidents, should have been put down ages ago, according to Noem. He is no longer at the White House, though history doesn’t relate his new address. Major, meanwhile, was sent to live with friends in Delaware after a biting incident involving a National Park employee. No excuses for that – public servants ought to be able to go about their duties bite-free – but to have a thing for guys in parks is less bad, I would contend, than having an aversive fear response to armed secret service agents when you’re the dog of the US president. It’s possible, of course, that both dogs have been destroyed – and “gone to live with friends in Delaware” is what they say to Joe Biden when they mean “gone to live on a farm”.

‘The body is everything’: Sung Im Her’s insatiable desire for dance
Tue, 07 May 2024 05:00:07 GMT
Each time she takes the stage, the Korean choreographer and dancer asks if it will be the last time. She reflects on crushing stereotypes, breaking into theatre and her 100 failed auditions
Sung Im Her was 19 when she took her first dance class. On day one, the teacher told her to lose 20kg in a month and gave her something to bite on while forcing her legs towards the splits. “Harsh, very harsh. Absolutely not recommended,” says the now 47-year-old Korean choreographer and dancer. That punitive beginning would surely have put off many, but Her had become hooked on dance from watching TV and films such as Dirty Dancing and Flashdance. She was hungry – a word she uses many times in our conversation – to discover more.
“Six months later,” she says, “I got on to the contemporary dance course at Hansung University [in Seoul], with top marks. For four years I began at 7am every single day. I then did the two-year master’s degree. But I was still hungry: I wanted more freedom, I wanted to explore.”

Olive oil prices are set to climb further this year – heading to more than £16 a litre for a bottle of extra virgin – amid a drop in global production to the lowest level in more than a decade.
Lower production in Greece, Morocco and Turkey as part of the natural cycle of olive growth is expected to offset an improving situation in Spain and Italy, where trees have suffered from extreme heat and drought in recent years as the climate crisis wreaks havoc on harvests.

Voter ID has a role to play in free and fair elections | Letters
Mon, 06 May 2024 16:25:28 GMT
The requirement to present photo ID at polling stations reinforces confidence in our elections, says Robert Frazer, but Maureen McLaughlin worries about those left without a vote. Plus letters from Nigel Evans and Peter Bottomley
I cannot agree with Andy Beckett’s condemnation of voter ID (After this week’s squalid experiment, see voter ID for what it is: a Tory scam to steal elections, 3 May). The basic principle of voter ID is not objectionable: we all agree that Europe has much more sophisticated political systems and mature political cultures than Britain, and voter ID laws are commonplace across Europe. France, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Italy all require their electors to present identification when voting. Are all these EU members also enemies of democracy?
Furthermore, it is difficult to square claims that the progressive vote was suppressed with the fact that the Conservative vote collapsed and Labour – and leftwing politics in general – were hugely successful last week. Clearly, the hypothetical fears that the progressive vote would be curtailed were simply not borne out in reality.

Cold wet weather and caution about spending amid high interest rates and energy bills have delivered a dismal start to spring for retailers and restaurants, the latest industry figures show.
Sales were virtually flat across March and April against the same period a year ago, according to the latest figures from the British Retail Consortium (BRC) trade body and advisory firm KPMG. That was despite prices continuing to rise with inflation, suggesting a drop in the volume of items sold in the key Easter period.

The soaring cost of doner kebabs has led to growing calls in Germany for a government subsidy programme to keep the inflation-hit dish, one of the country’s favourites, affordable as politicians report it is frequently cited as a concern in doorstep conversations with voters.
The chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has become so used to being asked about the price of kebabs during public appearances that his government has even posted on social media to explain that price rises are in part due to rising wage and energy costs. “It’s quite striking that everywhere I go, mainly from young people, I’m asked whether there shouldn’t be a price brake for the doner,” Scholz has said.
