‘It’s been life-changing’: meet the adults making big changes later in life
Sun, 12 Jan 2025 09:00:28 GMT

Some people never learn to read or swim or even cook as children - but with the right spirit there’s still time to make things right

I was 44 when I learned to cycle. I grew up in Yorkshire and when I was about five, my younger brother had broken his leg falling off a tricycle. We never had bikes after that – and like many girls my age of Asian heritage, I wasn’t pushed to do sporty or outdoor activities.

Scores dead and hundreds of homes damaged in Tibet quake
Tue, 07 Jan 2025 08:19:36 GMT

Quake damaged buildings in Shigatse and could be felt hundreds of kilometres away in Nepal and the Indian state of Bihar

A strong earthquake has struck near Shigatse, one of Tibet’s holiest cities, killing scores of people, damaging buildings, and sending people running to the streets in neighbouring Nepal and India.

Chinese state media said at least 126 people had died, more than 188 had been injured, and about 1,000 houses were damaged in the quake, which hit at 9.05am on Tuesday. The US Geological Survey said the earthquake was centred in the Tibet region at a depth of about 10km (6 miles). It measured the tremor at magnitude 7.1, while China recorded it as 6.8.

Resolution festival review – scavenging predators and ex machina sirens
Sun, 12 Jan 2025 20:00:41 GMT

The Place, London
Youthful ambition and vision always charge the atmosphere with optimism at this festival of future dance talent

For 35 years The Place has been offering up an abundance of brand new choreography at its annual Resolution festival, over 2,000 artists so far. You get three pieces a night from newbie choreographers, some just out of training, some clearly going places. The output and quality varies wildly, but it’s thrown up some real talents over the years.

It’s an event where you can feel the optimism and the youthful ambition and vision. Where a choreographer’s blurb for their piece says it’s going to “transport the audience into a journey of spiritual and artistic evolution”. Yes please! Maybe the reality isn’t as transformational as it hopes, but the piece in question – Anima, by Duran ‘Dee Dee’ Abdullah – does showcase Abdullah as a performer who can hold the stage, with an ancient-ritualistic-drum’n’bass rave mood.

The Guardian view on capital punishment: an upsurge in executions should concern us all | Editorial
Sun, 12 Jan 2025 18:30:39 GMT

The vast majority of countries have outlawed the death penalty. Yet the annual toll is growing – and Donald Trump wants to increase its use

The good news: Zimbabwe has just banned the death penalty. While it should remove an exemption clause, which might allow for capital punishment’s return were a state of emergency to be declared, the decision is another welcome step in the global journey towards abolition: 113 states have now banned executions.

The bad news is that fewer countries have been killing more people in the last few years. Last May, Amnesty International recorded 1,153 executions in 2023, a 31% increase from the previous year and the highest level for almost a decade. (The figure is an underestimate since countries including China, believed to be the world’s largest executioner, do not publish data on the death penalty.) There was no letup in 2024. Iran reportedly executed more than 900 people. Saudi Arabia is believed to have killed another 330, compared with 172 in 2023.

After meeting China’s vice-­premier, He Lifeng, in Beijing, Reeves said Britain’s relationship with the world’s second largest economy would be “frank and open on areas where we disagree”, while stressing it would be pragmatic in ­“finding opportunities for safe trade and investment”.

But ministers argue that improved relations with the world’s second-largest economy will help boost growth, and that under the Conservatives the UK lagged behind the US and EU when it came to high-level engagement with Beijing.

Friday Squid Blogging: Cotton-and-Squid-Bone Sponge
2025-01-10T22:06:47Z

News:

A sponge made of cotton and squid bone that has absorbed about 99.9% of microplastics in water samples in China could provide an elusive answer to ubiquitous microplastic pollution in water across the globe, a new report suggests.

[…]

The study tested the material in an irrigation ditch, a lake, seawater and a pond, where it removed up to 99.9% of plastic. It addressed 95%-98% of plastic after five cycles, which the authors say is remarkable reusability.

The sponge is made from chitin extracted from squid bone and cotton cellulose, materials that are often used to address pollution. Cost, secondary pollution and technological complexities have stymied many other filtration systems, but large-scale production of the new material is possible because it is cheap, and raw materials are easy to obtain, the authors say...

Ukraine war briefing: Kyiv ready to swap North Korean soldiers for Ukrainian PoWs, Zelenskyy says
Mon, 13 Jan 2025 01:06:38 GMT

Ukrainian president says there ‘should be no doubt left’ that Russia is dependent on military assistance from North Korea. What we know on day 1,055

• See all our Ukraine coverage

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday he was ready to hand over captured North Korean soldiers to Pyongyang in exchange for the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war held in Russia. Zelenskyy’s offer came hours after South Korea’s National Intelligence Service confirmed Ukraine’s announcement from the previous day that it had captured two North Korean soldiers.

In a post on X Sunday, Zelenskyy said: “Ukraine is ready to hand over Kim Jong-un’s soldiers to him if he can organise their exchange for our warriors who are being held captive in Russia.” There would “undoubtedly be more” North Korean soldiers captured by Kyiv, he added. “There should be no doubt left in the world that the Russian army is dependent on military assistance from North Korea.”

One of the men said he wanted to return to North Korea while the other said he wanted to remain in Ukraine, according to translated comments from a video of the two men’s interrogations posted by Zelenskyy. “For those North Korean soldiers who do not wish to return, there may be other options available,” said Zelenskyy. “In particular, those who express a desire to bring peace closer by spreading the truth about this war in Korean will be given that opportunity.”

The soldiers are the first captive North Koreans to survive. They represent a PR opportunity for Kyiv, during a precarious moment for Ukraine as Donald Trump returns to the White House. Zelenskyy is keen to emphasise that Ukraine is fighting an unprecedented coalition of malign autocratic states. One is North Korea, which has supplied Moscow with short-range ballistic missiles, artillery shells and – since last November – about 10,000 elite troops.

Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson said that his country was neither at war nor at peace as he announced that Sweden would be sending armed forces into the Baltic Sea for the first time as part of increased surveillance efforts amid a spate of suspected sabotage of undersea cables. The country announced it will contribute up to three warships and a surveillance aircraft to a Nato effort to monitor critical infrastructure and Russia’s “shadow fleet” as the alliance tries to guard against sabotage of underwater infrastructure.

Russia on Sunday claimed the capture of two villages in eastern Ukraine where its forces have been steadily advancing for months. The defence ministry said forces had captured the village of Yantarne in the eastern Donetsk region, around 10km (six miles) southwest of Kurakhove, a key logistics hub that Moscow claimed to have seized last week. On Saturday, Russia’s army said it had also taken new territory northwest of Kurakhove. The defence ministry said Sunday that Russian troops had also captured the village of Kalinove in the northeastern Kharkiv region. The village is on the western bank of the Oskil River, which for a long time formed the front line between the two armies in the region.

An emergency task force arrived in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region on Sunday as an oil spill in the Kerch Strait from two storm-stricken tankers continues to spread a month after it was first detected, officials said. The task force, which includes emergency situations minister Alexander Kurenkov, was set up after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday called on authorities to ramp up the response to the spill, calling it “one of the most serious environmental challenges we have faced in recent years.”

A local woman died on Sunday in the Ukraine-controlled part of Russia’s Kursk region after Russian strikes damaged a state boarding school where local people were sheltering, a Ukrainian official said. On Saturday evening, “Russian aviation carried out two air strikes on the area of the boarding school in Sudzha, as a result of which one woman suffered a laceration wound to her arm, and died in the morning,” Ukrainian army spokesman Oleksiy Dmytrashkivsky said on television news.

In Ukraine’s southern Kherson region, drone attacks injured eight people Sunday in the main city of Kherson and a nearby village, regional authorities said. In the Russian-controlled section of the Kherson region, a Ukrainian drone killed a 76-year-old woman, Russian-installed Governor Vladimir Saldo said on Telegram.

The big picture: Henry Roy’s sleeping girl in Congo-Brazzaville
Sun, 12 Jan 2025 07:00:26 GMT

The Franco-Haitian artist’s 2002 portrait exemplifies his gift for taking photographs that transcend time and place

Henry Roy’s book, Impossible Island, a survey of 40 years of his photography, is threaded with images of sleepers and dreamers in different corners of the world – Thailand, Tunisia, his adoptive France, his native Haiti. Roy took this picture of a girl making an impromptu cradle of a wheelbarrow in Congo-Brazzaville in 2002. Like all of his most evocative photographs, it asks several questions of the viewer – but the overriding one seems to be: how sleepy do you have to be to take a nap here?

Roy’s photos often work this way: they create little mythologies that seem to take their subjects outside their particular time and place. As he noted of his practice in his 2017 book Superstition, what he is always restless for are images that “murmur the secret language of a world free from what contaminates us”. Here, the vibrant Sunday-best floral prints of the girl, the precision of her hair, seem to elevate her above the clay and dust of her surroundings. It comes as no surprise, looking at Roy’s pictures, that they have been cited as primary inspirations by cinematographers and film-makers, notably Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, who has suggested that he was inspired to create some of the visual sensuality of Moonlight by looking at Roy’s work.
