Europeâs best beach holidays: Arcachon, France
Sun, 05 May 2024 12:00:08 GMT
A buzzy town prom, plates of moules with chilled rosé and cycle rides to sandy beaches on Cap Ferret add up to happy holidays on the Atlantic coast
The Bay of Arcachon, on the south-west coast of France, is a happy place. It must be, because Iâve been visiting it with my family nearly every year for the past 15 years. We usually rent a small apartment in Arcachon town for four or five days, but such is the draw that we have been known to make a two-hour drive just to spend the day there when weâve been in that part of the world. Everything about it speaks of summer joy: the promenade thrumming with cyclists and strollers; the parade of bistros serving moules, oysters and buckets of chilled rosĂ©; families playing beach tennis on the sands; and a bay brimming with pleasure boats and ferries. Itâs like a scene from a Raoul Dufy painting.
The first day begins at Halle Baltard, the town market, where we drink coffee with brioche and croissants, then head to the bike rental shop, and always the same one (Dingo VĂ©los), because you donât need a car in this largely flat landscape. Next, we buy ferry tickets at the little beach cabins on Thiers jetty to take the ferry over the bay to Cap Ferret. The wait in the queue on the jetty is more Monsieur Hulotâs Holiday than huff and puff, the air thick with sunscreen and anticipation. Children wear inflatables around their waists and rest crab nets on their shoulders, parents sport sunnies and straw hats and carry overloaded picnic bags and rugs. Thereâs a babble of chatter as the ferry crew load bikes on the roof and passengers scramble for outside seats.

The Big Apple blossoms: from red carpet to Trump courthouse, New York lives again
Sun, 05 May 2024 10:00:09 GMT
Emerging from Covidâs shadow, the city is resonating with glamour, politics and power â and the traffic jams are building up too
Call it a return to IRL (In Real Life). New Yorkers are experiencing a bracing resumption of the physical experience of living in the city, four years after the onset of the pandemic upended routines, pushed people online and left much of the population, as in so many places, wondering if normality would ever return.
Uptown, police have broken up student protests on the Columbia and City University campuses condemning Israelâs attack on Gaza. Downtown, a furious Donald Trump is commandeering attention from the courthouse on the edge of Chinatown, snarling up traffic as his motorcade travels to and fro. President Bidenâs fundraising trips to the city to fund his re-election are having a similar effect.

10 UK stays that take tranquillity to the next level
Sun, 05 May 2024 10:00:07 GMT
From a hideaway with star-gazing spectacular enough to keep you off your phone to a âburnoutâ retreat and a reimagined coastguard lookout
Bordering the Consall Nature Park, a nature reserve featuring 740 acres of woodland, heath and moor, is The Tawny, a âdeconstructed hotelâ. This means that instead of a single house with rooms there are a collection of boathouses, huts and treehouses scattered around the woodlands and lakes. At the top of the hill is a modern glass building, the Plumicorn restaurant, and a heated outdoor pool looking out over the gardens. Stargazing sessions and night-time meditation are on offer, while spa treatments can be booked in the thatched cottage onsite.

The web has become so interwoven with everyday life that it is easy to forget what an extraordinary accomplishment and treasure it is. In just a few decades, much of human knowledge has been collectively written up and made available to anyone with an internet connection.
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.

I used to be an avid user of TikTok, but the algorithm serves much less delight and serendipity than it used to
TikTok is facing its most credible existential threat yet. Last week, the US Congress passed a bill that bans the short-form video app if it does not sell to an American company by this time next year. But as a former avid user whose time on the app has dropped sharply in recent months, I am left wondering â will I even be using the app a year from now?
Like many Americans of my demographic (aging millennial), I first started using TikTok regularly when the Covid-19 pandemic began and lockdowns gave many of us more time than we knew how to fill.

So empire and the slave trade contributed little to Britainâs wealth? Pull the other one, Kemi Badenoch| Will Hutton
Sun, 05 May 2024 08:00:04 GMT
The business and trade secretary played into the ideological tosh that the wonders of the Industrial Revolution were funded by beer brewers and sheep farmers
Britain ran an empire for centuries that at its peak 100 years ago occupied just under a quarter of the worldâs land area. Yet if you believe âImperial Measurementâ, a report released last week from the rightwing Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), the net economic impact of this vast empire on Britain was negligible, even negative.
If you thought the empire profoundly shaped our industry, trade and financial institutions, with slavery an inherent part of the equation, helped turbocharge the Industrial Revolution and underwrote what was the worldâs greatest navy for 150 years, think again. The contribution of the transatlantic trade in enslaved people to our economy was trumped by domestic brewing and sheep farming, opines the IEA. The tax âburdenâ of defending this barely profitable empire was not worth the candle. Instead, it was free-market economics that unleashed British economic growth â a truth that must be restated before Marxists and reparation-seeking ex-colonies start controlling the narrative.

Democrats rally to Bidenâs defense over response to pro-Palestinian student protests

Republicans accuse president of weak response, but prominent Democrats claim he âhas been very strong from the beginningâ
Some Democrats rallied to the defense of Joe Biden on Sunday as the president came under increased criticism over his response to pro-Palestinian student protests and his handling of Israelâs war on Gaza.
Republicans have seized on Bidenâs response to the protests, which have seen more than2,000 people arrested around the country, accusing him of a weak response. But prominent Democrats, including Biden re-election campaign co-chairperson Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, claimed the president âhas been very strong about this from the beginningâ.

The Big Apple blossoms: from red carpet to Trump courthouse, New York lives again

Emerging from Covidâs shadow, the city is resonating with glamour, politics and power â and the traffic jams are building up too
Call it a return to IRL (In Real Life). New Yorkers are experiencing a bracing resumption of the physical experience of living in the city, four years after the onset of the pandemic upended routines, pushed people online and left much of the population, as in so many places, wondering if normality would ever return.
Uptown, police have broken up student protests on the Columbia and City University campuses condemning Israelâs attack on Gaza. Downtown, a furious Donald Trump is commandeering attention from the courthouse on the edge of Chinatown, snarling up traffic as his motorcade travels to and fro. President Bidenâs fundraising trips to the city to fund his re-election are having a similar effect.

From mayoral elections to Rwanda removals, Sunak wonât let the truth jeopardise his mission | Stewart Lee
Sun, 05 May 2024 09:00:05 GMT
Last week, Conservative campaigning gave a chilling indication of the depths to which they will sink to retain power
In the psychedelic 60s stop-frame animation childrenâs television series Trumpton, all the characters have identifying proper names â the fireman Captain Flack, the state stormtrooper Police Constable Potter, and the mysterious dungeon-dwelling economist Gideon Pencils Osborne. The mayor of Trumpton, however, was known only as The Mayor, and neither his actual name nor his political affiliations were ever revealed, though he smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs and too many rightwing meetings.
All over the land last week, Tory mayors dreamed of similar anonymity, hoping that if no one knew anything about them, and their campaign literature didnât reveal they belonged to the Tory party, people might at least vote for them by accident, thinking they were someone else. âOh! Andy Street was the West Midlandsâ Tory mayor candidate? I thought I was voting for the glamorous, and now deceased, Welsh wrestler Adrian Street.

Authoritarian governments are extending their pursuit of critics far beyond their borders
Forty-five years ago, the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov was killed in London with a poison-tipped umbrella as he made his way home from work. The horrifying case transfixed the British public.
So transnational repression is not new, including on British shores. But unless its target is unusually high-profile, or it uses startling tactics such as those employed by Markovâs killers â or in the attempt to assassinate Sergei Skripal â much of it passes with minimal attention.

It remains unclear when the Russian troops, who have been in Niger for weeks, were deployed to Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani international airport in Niamey. It is also unclear how many troops are on the ground.

Russian troops enter airbase in Niger where US soldiers are stationed
Thu, 02 May 2024 20:27:12 GMT
Move comes after west African countryâs military government had told US to withdraw its troops
Russian military personnel have entered an airbase in Niger that is hosting American troops, after a decision by Nigerâs junta to expel US forces from the country.
The military officers ruling the west African country have told the US to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel, which until a coup last year had been a key partner for Washingtonâs fight against insurgents who have killed thousands of people and displaced millions more.

Brightonâs JoĂŁo Pedro stuns Aston Villa to stall their Champions League charge
Sun, 05 May 2024 15:24:54 GMT
Aston Villa are running on fumes. The chance to go 10 points clear on Tottenham ended up reopening the door to the Champions League. Groggy from the short turnaround and shock result of their 4-2 Thursday defeat to Olympiakos, Unai Emeryâs team could not replicate the energy of their manager, whose frantic touchline exhortations reflected a golden chance in danger of slipping away.
Ezri Konsaâs tired tackle on Simon Adingra served up a late penalty that Robin Olsen saved from JoĂŁo Pedro only for the Brazilian to nod home the rebound and score the first goal from a Brighton player since March.

The Pogues review â triumphant tribute to energy and poetry of bandâs early days
Sun, 05 May 2024 15:19:07 GMT
Hackney Empire, London
An inspired cast of guests from Nadine Shah to Jim Sclavunos stand in for the late Shane MacGowan in a raucous run-through of the bandâs debut album and other highlights
With late frontman Shane MacGowan replaced by a succession of guests, this 40th anniversary show for the Poguesâ debut album, Red Roses For Me, could so easily have been a pale imitation, glorified karaoke. And yet, itâs utterly triumphant. There are no overwrought speeches during this evening curated by the bandâs co-founder Spider Stacy, only a brief dedication to MacGowan and other departed bandmates Darryl Hunt and Philip Chevron, and the Dublinersâ Ronnie Drew before The Irish Rover. Instead, they pay more fitting tribute by tapping back into the tornado of energy, passion and poetry that made the Pogues thrilling to begin with.
Within a nanosecond of opener Transmetropolitan, itâs pandemonium amid a sell-out crowd who burst instantly into a hundreds-strong mosh, bellowing back every word. The Battle Of Brisbane pushes things even higher; Greenland Whale Fisheries a notch higher than that. By Boys From The County Hell, itâs totally feral.

The UK governmentâs climate action plan is unlawful, the high court has ruled, as there is not enough evidence that there are sufficient policies in place to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The energy secretary, Claire Coutinho, will now be expected to draw up a revised plan within 12 months. This must ensure that the UK achieves its legally binding carbon budgets and its pledge to cut emissions by more than two-thirds by 2030, both of which the government is off track to meet.
