In 2006, Martin Myers got in a scrape over a cigarette. He asked a young man if he had a spare fag. The man declined to give him one. Myers came from a well-known Traveller family. The man, Myers says, made a derogatory comment about Travellers, so Myers gave up the niceties. He threatened to punch him if he didnât hand him a cigarette.
The young man ran away. He then went to the police in Luton and told them what had happened. The police were familiar with Myers. He had previous convictions for dangerous driving, assault, theft and burglary. Myers was arrested, charged and convicted of attempted street robbery. On 8 March 2006, he was given a tariff â the minimum time he could serve â of 19 months and 27 days.

Helen Pidd travelled to Accrington in Hyndburn, where the local authority has an equal number of Labour and Conservative councillors, to see what people there thought about the local elections.
What she found was a more complicated picture than predictions of a Labour landslide suggest. She found the Conservative council leader in a surprisingly confident mood â and the local Labour politicians unwilling to speak to her. She also met voters in the town who told her of their discontent with Labour over its approach to the conflict in Gaza and that it was the Green party who would be picking up their votes.

But all of this is coming to an end. The advent of AI threatens to destroy the complex online ecosystem that allows writers, artists, and other creators to reach human audiences.
To understand why, you must understand publishing. Its core task is to connect writers to an audience. Publishers work as gatekeepers, filtering candidates and then amplifying the chosen ones. Hoping to be selected, writers shape their work in various ways.

- Swimmers were cleared of doping after positive tests
- Usada says Wada guilty of âfailing all clean athletesâ
The US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) criticised the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) on Wednesday for âdoubling down on half-truthsâ after the global body published a document outlining its handling of a case involving Chinese swimmers.
Wada has been under fire since the New York Times reported last month that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for trimetazidine before the Tokyo Games in 2021 but were allowed to compete after being cleared by a Chinese inquiry.

The Guardian view on the cost of a cashless society: the most vulnerable will pay | Editorial
Wed, 01 May 2024 17:25:35 GMT
The pandemic accelerated the shift away from notes and coins. But China and others are realising that transition has a price
One of the idiosyncrasies of Chinaâs huge appetite for luxury goods has been the high sales of man bags â a niche item in the west. Their popularity initially reflected not just the fondness of the newly rich for conspicuous consumption, but also the practical need to carry large wodges of banknotes in a country that hadnât truly embraced credit cards. Early last decade, it was unremarkable to pay a quarterâs rent or buy a car in cash.
Yet even vegetable sellers in small markets, or people begging on the streets, now use QR codes. By 2020, 98% of people in a survey said they most commonly paid using smartphone apps. The advantage, for the consumer, is convenience. For the authorities it offers not only efficiency but oversight, in a country which is battling corruption and which closely surveils its citizens. Beijing has also been promoting a âdigital yuanâ developed by its central bank.

Mulberry sales decline as wealthy shoppers slow spending

Luxury British brand expects challenging trading conditions in UK and China to continue
Mulberry, the luxury British brand best known for its leather handbags that can cost more than ÂŁ1,600 each, has reported a 4% decline in annual sales, becoming the latest high-end company to warn of a slowdown in spending among the richest shoppers.
In a trading update, Thierry Andretta, the chief executive, said: âWhile we achieved positive revenue growth in the first half, Mulberry has not been immune to the broader downturn in luxury spending experienced in recent months, particularly in the UK and Asia. This decline was partially offset by positive trading in the US, where we have benefited from increased brand awareness.

Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry review â a gentle gem about mid-life love and loneliness
Wed, 01 May 2024 08:00:51 GMT
Elene Naverianiâs film tells the story of a middle-aged single woman in a remote Georgian village whose life is changed for ever after a near-death experience
Here is a marvellously tender story of loneliness and love which starts with a bigger bang than most thrillers. Etero, played by Eka Chavleishvili, is a middle-aged single woman in a remote Georgian village who is out walking near a steep ravine, collecting blackberries for the cakes she likes to bake. She looks up, transfixed by the beauty of a blackbird â having been, we are perhaps invited to assume, only waiting for this moment to arrive â when she loses her footing and disappears from the frame; film-maker Elene Naveriani switches the viewpoint to something terrifying and vertiginous: straight down to a near death experience.
Etero sees her own corpse in a parallel universe of her own stricken imagining, but this heartstopping near-miss, together with the unwelcome new symptoms of what appear to be menopause, coincide with what could be a whole new lease of life. While listlessly minding the family shop, Etero receives some stock from flirtatious new delivery driver Murman, played by Temiko Chichinadze, and soon she is having a gloriously passionate, sensual and thrillingly secret affair with this man. And in the long stretches of solitude while he is away, now filled with gorgeous wondering instead of dullness, the film shows how Etero must now absorb the paradox â what has ended is not her life, but her 48 long years of virginity. Her life has not been easy. She has desperately missed her late mother, who died of cancer when she was just three months old. But now life has repaid her with a miracle.
