Pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at New York University and New School
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:23:40 GMT

Thirteen arrested at NYU and 43 at New School, NYPD says, as encampments cleared in downtown Manhattan

Police began clearing out protesters at New York University (NYU) in downtown Manhattan on Friday as pressure continued to build on the city’s mayor, Eric Adams, to divulge more details on identities and affiliations of those within the 282 people arrested at uptown Columbia and City College of New York (CCNY) on Tuesday night – after he blamed “outside agitators” for prompting a crackdown.

Campuses elsewhere were relatively quiet overnight, while the recent weeks of escalated pro-Palestinian protests across more than 40 campuses nationwide have resulted in almost 2,200 arrests, according to an Associated Press tally.

Shrubs offer resilience and reliability: here are 10 that will thrive in your garden
Fri, 03 May 2024 13:00:12 GMT

As climate change brings volatile weather patterns, the shrub – too often ignored in favour of fashionable perennials – is making a comeback

Somewhere along the line we have lost sight of the humble shrub. Its downfall could be in part attributed to our continuing love for prairie planting, which subverted the quaint cottage garden with its weighty perennials, swaying grasses, and broad brushstrokes of ribboned colour. Against such seasonal vibrancy – purple salvia, beaming echinacea and tall persicaria – stiff and woody viburnums, weigelas and hydrangeas came to feel decidedly pedestrian, the stuff of municipal car parks and stale suburbia.

In appealing to this shift in tastes, many contemporary garden designers doubled down on herbaceous planting schemes, and our confidence in – and, seemingly, knowledge of – valuable ornamental shrubs began to wane. But under increasingly volatile weather patterns, our gardens are in desperate need of more dependable, deeper-rooted plant material, and the shrub – with its robust longevity – is ready for a rebrand.

A new cold war? World war three? How do we navigate this age of confusion? | Timothy Garton Ash
Fri, 03 May 2024 06:00:30 GMT

In history, as in romance, beginnings matter – so what we do now will be crucial in shaping the future

In these times of planetary polycrisis, we try to get our bearings by looking to the past. Are we perhaps in The New Cold War, as Robin Niblett, the former director of the foreign affairs thinktank Chatham House, proposes in a new book? Is this bringing us towards the brink of a third world war, as the historian Niall Ferguson has argued? Or, as I have found myself suggesting on occasion, is the world beginning to resemble the late 19th-century Europe of competing empires and great powers writ large?

Another way of trying to put our travails into historically comprehensible shape is to label them as an “age of …”, with the words that follow suggesting either a parallel with or a sharp contrast to an earlier age. So the CNN foreign affairs guru Fareed Zakaria suggests in his latest book that we are in a new Age of Revolutions, meaning that we can learn something from the French, Industrial and American revolutions. Or is it rather The Age of the Strongman, as proposed by the Financial Times foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman? No, it’s The Age of Unpeace, says Mark Leonard, the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, since “connectivity causes conflict”.

Reporting in India ‘too difficult’ under Modi, says departing Australian journalist
Tue, 23 Apr 2024 06:33:49 GMT

Despite eventual visa backflip by authorities, ABC’s south-Asia correspondent Avani Dias left after being made to ‘feel so uncomfortable’

The south-Asia correspondent for Australia’s national broadcaster, Avani Dias, has been forced out of India after her reporting fell foul of the Indian government, in a sign of the increasing pressure on journalists in the country under Narendra Modi.

Dias, who has been based in Delhi for the ABC since January 2022, said she felt the government had made it “too difficult” for her to continue to do her job, claiming it blocked her from accessing events, issued takedown notices to YouTube for her news stories, and then refused her a standard visa renewal.
