Quins’ Danny Wilson believes past wins in France will aid side in Toulouse semi
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:22:24 GMT
- Harlequins won at Racing 92 and Bordeaux this season
- ‘To beat Toulouse you have to score a fair few tries’
Harlequins will look to draw on their previous French success stories as they bid to reach their first Champions Cup final on Sunday, according to their head coach, Danny Wilson.
Wilson’s side travel to Toulouse for a daunting clash with the five-times champions but take confidence from having won in France twice already this season. In December they edged past Racing 92, coming out 31-28 winners, while in the quarter-finals they sneaked past Bordeaux with a thrilling 42-41 victory.

‘This is life and death’: inside a Florida clinic after the six-week abortion ban
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:00:14 GMT
State’s fall as the last bastion of access to the procedure in the deep south means women will have to travel farther for care
Rose hadn’t even missed her period when the thought hit her: “I need to take a test.”
The Florida resident, who has two kids, had given birth just three months ago. She thought that she and her husband were being careful. But the pregnancy test confirmed her suspicion: she was pregnant and, she realized, didn’t want to be.

‘It’s so frustrating’: two years on and still no justice for Bruno and Dom murders
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:00:13 GMT
Three men await trial in Brazil for the killing of Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, but no date is set and Amazon activists still live in fear of violence
Nearly two years after Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira were murdered during a reporting trip in the Brazilian Amazon their families are still waiting for justice and activists fear their deaths will not be the last.
The British journalist and the Brazilian Indigenous expert were ambushed and killed on 5 June 2022 while travelling by boat to the river town of Atalaia do Norte. They had been investigating the criminal assault on Brazil’s second-largest Indigenous territories, the Javari valley, a vast expanse of rainforest that is home to the world’s largest concentration of uncontacted peoples.

‘Turn the building off and on’: social media schadenfreude over Co-op Live arena
Fri, 03 May 2024 11:58:25 GMT
Failure of Manchester venue to open has angered those who paid for travel and hotels for cancelled events
The repeated failure of the new Co-op live venue to open in Manchester has led to shows being cancelled at the last moment, gigs rescheduled, and has caused huge inconvenience to people who had booked non-refundable travel and hotels to enjoy events they had been looking forward to.
It has, of course, though, allowed the British public to also enjoy one of its greatest pastimes – hilarious schadenfreude on social media. Not least because its general manager, Gary Roden, was forced to resign over the issues, not long after he hadn’t exactly endeared himself to organisations such as the Music Venue Trust by suggesting that many grassroots music venues are often “poorly run” and that was a factor in the new venue not wanting to take part in a levy scheme to help keep smaller venues open.

My future is bleak: can I go on without the all-you-can-eat unlimited Premier Inn breakfast? | Rich Pelley
Fri, 03 May 2024 09:30:07 GMT
With the chain selling off 126 restaurants, I’m worried. Will I be able to get the bottomless glasses of orange juice I need?
It’s 8:25am and I’ve made it down, bleary eyed, to breakfast at Premier Inn – all the more miraculous because I haven’t even stayed the night. I’ve just come to eat. My visit comes hot on the news that Premier Inn’s owner, Whitbread, is to cut 1,500 jobs and sell off 126 restaurants as part of a £150m three-year cost-cutting drive, although it sounds as if they’ll still have some in-hotel restaurants for guests only.
You know the restaurants: usually large, noisy pubs run by the Brewers Fayre chain, although sometimes Beefeater, the other side of the car park from your digs. If you’re staying at a non-city-centre Premier Inn, they’re usually the only place to eat that doesn’t involve getting back in the car or dicing with death as you meander down a busy A road to a 24-hour McDonald’s.

Weather tracker: severe storms and tornadoes hit parts of US
Fri, 03 May 2024 09:03:45 GMT
One tornado in Oklahoma was the first of 2024 to be rated as EF-4, the second most severe category
Severe thunderstorms affected parts of the US last week, spawning at least 129 tornadoes across midwestern and southern states between 25 and 28 April. The majority occurred on 26 April, with most touching down in Nebraska and Iowa.
Two that formed were particularly large and long-lived, lasting about an hour and reaching a mile in diameter, with surface wind speeds of about 160mph at their strongest. The first travelled over 31 miles across eastern Nebraska, causing severe damage in the Omaha suburb of Elkhorn. The second, which also developed secondary vortices, travelled almost 41 miles across western Iowa, and killed one person in Minden.

On the first Sunday of May every year, Chapel Street, where central Manchester and Salford meet, comes alive with DIY art, music and spectacle at the Sounds from the Other City festival. It is a vibrant public celebration of the “community spirit and collaborative working” which co-director Emma Thompson says sustains much alternative culture in the region.
“Collaboration is core to what we do, to Greater Manchester as a city,” Thompson says. “People come together, and it crosses genres and art forms. Sounds from the Other City wouldn’t be turning 20 next year if it wasn’t for that. The fees we offer aren’t huge but people really get behind it, do it for the love of it.”

The Rise of Large-Language-Model Optimization

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. This article might be written very differently in an academic publication, for example, and publishing it here entailed pitching an editor, revising multiple drafts for style and focus, and so on...

I’m not allowed to testify, because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order.
I want to stress Mr Trump that you have an absolute right to testify at trial.
That is a constitutional right that will not be denied or abnegated in any way ... It is a fundamental right that cannot be infringed upon ... the order prohibiting extra-judicial statements does not prevent you from testifying in any way.

Donald Trump is planning to unleash the biggest mass deportation of undocumented migrants in US history should he win re-election in November, involving legally questionable deployments of military and police units and the creation of vast detention camps along the southern border.
Trump has laid out his vision for a “record-setting deportation operation” in a series of rally speeches, newspaper articles and social media posts. He intends to move swiftly after inauguration day next January to stage mass roundups of immigrants across the country, conducting raids inside big cities where he would face certain Democratic opposition.

Dark Brandon popping off: is Joe Biden’s ‘cringe’ TikTok helping or hurting him?
Fri, 03 May 2024 10:00:14 GMT
His youth support declining, the president needs ‘to be where the people are’. His account regularly mocks Trump – but remains silent on Gaza
In Joe Biden’s TikTok debut, timed to the Super Bowl in February, the president answered rapid-fire questions like “Chiefs or Niners?” (neither, he picked the Eagles because his wife’s a “Philly girl”) and flashed the Dark Brandon meme. He got more than 10m views, so by pure metrics, the video was no flop. But to use one of TikTok’s favorite disses, for many gen Z viewers it felt “cringe” – even pandering. Worse still, the TikTok, captioned “lol hey guys”, made the rounds after Israel struck Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza strip. Biden’s jokes infuriated users who flooded the post with the comment “WHAT ABOUT RAFAH?”
“I don’t want my president to be a TikTok influencer,” read the headline of one USA Today editorial. One (actual) influencer told CNN the president’s attempt at meme-ing felt “performative”. A warm welcome to the app, it was not. But Biden’s team kept posting.

A nation desperate for integrity in public life has found it in Ronnie O’Sullivan and snooker. Who knew? | Simon Hattenstone
Thu, 02 May 2024 12:01:15 GMT
An act of decency is being hailed as the greatest sporting gesture ever. Politicians, business folk, celebrities – please take note
You may not be into snooker, dear reader. You may not be into sport at all. But really, this is not about sport. In losing yesterday to Stuart Bingham in the quarter-final of the World Snooker Championship, Ronnie O’Sullivan proved himself a contender for the world’s most sporting sports star. He may have lost, but in doing so he showed there are still standards in public life, and some people do care about doing the right thing. Not something we see often these days.
Here’s what happened. Yesterday afternoon, with Ronnie leading by six frames to five, he potted a black ball. When it was returned to its spot, it should have obstructed his next red ball, making it trickier for him to progress. But there was a tiny divot on the table, and the black ball wobbled ever so slightly from its spot, making access to the red simple. Ronnie wasn’t having any of it. He asked the ref time and again to replace the black to make it more difficult for him. But the black wasn’t having any of it either, and kept bobbling away.
