The Guardian
The Guardian is a British daily newspaper. It was founded in Manchester in 1821 as The Manchester Guardian and changed its name in 1959, followed by a move to London. Along with its sister paper, The Guardian Weekly, The Guardian is part of the Guardian Media Group, owned by the Scott Trust Limited. The trust was created in 1936 to "secure the financial and editorial independence of The Guardian in perpetuity and to safeguard the journalistic freedom and liberal values of The Guardian free from commercial or political interference". The trust was converted into a limited company in 2008, with a constitution written so as to maintain for The Guardian the same protections as were built into the structure of the Scott Trust by its creators. Profits are reinvested in its journalism rather than distributed to owners or shareholders. It is considered a newspaper of record in the UK.

Paul Mackenzie convicted over the deaths of 190 children and one adult after followers were ordered to starve themselves and their families The leader of a Kenyan doomsday sect has been sentenced to 200 years in prison for the murders of 190 children and one adult in one of the world’s worst cult disasters in recent history. The sentence, comprised of 100 years for murder by starvation and 100 years by direct homicide, came two weeks after the court in Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa found the cult leader guilty of the crimes.

Juneau has little arable land, a short growing season and few farmers – and deep traditions of residents and the land feeding each other Forty miles north-west of Alaska’s capital, the highway just ends. At Glacier Highway’s most northern point, the pavement turns to gravel, the gravel widens into a turnaround and the tire tracks curve back the way they came. At the far end, the woods begin, a narrow hiking trail slipping toward the southern end of Berners Bay. Continue reading...

Sincere or self-serving, the disgraced comedian’s case shows how the church became a culture war frontier The women whom Russell Brand raped and sexually assaulted have for weeks endured the ordeal of a heavily publicised trial. Throughout, Brand held online prayer meetings with followers. Does he feel Christian sympathy for those women? Only Brand, in the deepest recesses of his conscience, can know. Continue reading...

Life and styleAre you one of 600 million people with lower back pain? Osteopaths identify the most common causes – and remedies Was jet-washing the patio the straw that broke the camel’s – and your – back? That’s a possibility, but experts say the actual causes of back pain may surprise you – and it’s a bigger issue than most may realise. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide , with cases projected to rise to more than 800 million by 2050, largely as populations grow and age. Here, clinicians reveal some of the unexpected causes, and how to avoid them. Continue reading...

My friend Joshua Wong was due to be released next January. Under draconian security laws, his sentence has been extended by 10 years Two years ago, I wrote in this newspaper about the lengthy imprisonment of my friend Joshua Wong, who I spent years campaigning alongside for the advancement of Hong Kong’s democracy. He was given an unjust sentence meant to keep him behind bars until January 2027. He was supposed to be released in a few months, when I hoped he would finally be able to reunite with his friends and family and embark on a new chapter. But this hope was misplaced. The end of the tunnel isn’t next year; it’s late 2036. By then, he will be 40. On Thursday, Joshua was sentenced to another 10 years under Hong Kong’s national security law for colluding with foreign forces. He is the only political prisoner who’s been convicted twice under the national security law. The judge described Joshua and me as “two ringleaders or masterminds” urging foreign powers to impose sanctions and other hostile actions against the Chinese and Hong Kong governments. The judgment cited previous international advocacy work, media interviews, social media posts and the political activities of Demosistō, the youth-led democratic party we founded. Nathan Law is a pro-democracy activist and former legislator from Hong Kong. He is a political refugee in the UK Continue reading...

Spice Girls(Virgin) The reunion that fans were hoping for turns out to be a cash-grab box set – though there is a worthwhile curio featuring Posh on lead vocals Is there a more taunted fanbase than that of the Spice Girls? Seemingly every other week a story – usually perpetuated by Mel B, the band’s number one cheerleader – appears in the tabloids hinting at some sort of reunion. Or film. Or documentary. Swift denials then emerge, typically linked to Geri or Victoria, and all is calm until a week or so later. So when teasers showing landmarks from 1996’s Wannabe video suddenly appeared on the band’s official social media accounts in September, it felt as if the fans had something tangible to celebrate. The comments quickly filled with hopes of another reunion tour following 2007’s full-band jaunt and 2019’s Posh-less stadium trek. In a music landscape littered with nostalgia tours, surely Ginger, Scary, Baby, Sporty and (maybe) Posh could strap on some Buffalo boots for a final zig-a-zig-ah? Continue reading...

Animation in filmThe SNL alum has an appealing energy and this is an improvement on the 2003 travesty but it’s also far too long and strangely corporate Over a long enough timeline, perhaps every living alumnus of Saturday Night Live will play the Cat in the Hat. Mike Myers kicked off this unexpected tradition by embodying the furry, anarchic Dr Seuss character for a notoriously, almost defiantly ghastly 2003 live-action treatment. After doing us all the service of killing flesh-and-blood Seuss movies for good, Myers was later followed by a more charming Martin Short (via voiceover on a cute PBS/CBC animated series) and now Bill Hader, stepping into the role for a big-budget animated reboot from the oft-flailing animation division of Warner Bros. Just to be clear, this is the same studio that passed on releasing not one but two well-liked features starring their trademark Looney Tunes characters in the last few years. (Puzzlingly, a new Looney Tunes short starring Daffy Duck nonetheless debuts in front of this movie.) Warner has one of the most storied animation libraries in American cinema (and, for that matter, plenty of great animated TV shows like Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs) but as far as features go, they’ve never settled on a clear creative vision. They seem just as adrift in a landscape crowded with serious competitors as they were back when everyone was imitating Disney. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026After years of outrage or numbness being the main options for dealing with politics, Tuesday’s results were permission to be optimistic This was originally published in the Stakes 2026, a newsletter about the midterm elections. Sign up to get it in your inbox We shed some tears this midterm cycle. US politics always makes people emotional, but I heard from friends and colleagues many times this year that speeches, campaigns and underdog success stories moved people in unexpected ways, whether it was this ad of Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed doing bedtime , a photo of newly elected Texas Democrats James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa at a Whataburger, or Georgia’s Keisha Lance Bottoms becoming the first Black female governor in the entire country.

According to Florence Pugh, Denis Villeneuve’s stunningly strange and breathtaking universe is the equivalent to George Lucas’ heroic space opera. Let’s hope not A long time ago, far far away, in a galaxy called the 1970s, kids dreamed of joining the rebellion, rescuing a princess and blowing up the Death Star. Peer into the cosmic tea leaves and it would become immediately clear that no amount of evildoing could withstand a neurotic gold butler, a dustbin with ideas above its station and a walking seven-foot tall shagpile carpet with a very low tolerance for disagreement. It is worth remembering this when considering Florence Pugh’s recent declaration, ahead of next month’s Dune: Part Three, that Dune is her generation’s Star Wars . And then wondering how much trouble we might be in if she’s actually right. “I think they brought back movie-going. What an event the second [Dune] was,” Pugh cheerfully told the New York Times. “It was just so lovely to be a part of something that we know is our generational kind of Star Wars.” Continue reading...

Golden State WarriorsThe Warriors’ freshman has spent his first weeks in the NBA antagonizing superstars, speaking his mind and emerging as one of the league’s most compelling personalities If a screen-addled pickup basketball player teleported into the body of a high-level athlete, they might resemble Yaxel Lendeborg. The most commonly cited fact about Lendeborg is that he used to spend 12 to 14 hours a day gaming , and didn’t debut on his high school basketball team until he was an upperclassman. Professional athletes often have origin stories that resemble the superhero more than the mortal, but Lendeborg really was just like us at one point. Lendeborg has also said that prior to entering the NBA, he didn’t really watch it, either. The Puerto Rican forward racked up more than enough accolades in college to qualify for the NBA, including helming Michigan to their first national championship in 37 years , but still. Any of you reading this could smoke the man who may be this season’s rookie of the year in trivia about his profession. The 24-year-old Lendeborg is a forward on the Golden State Warriors, a team caught between the ancient, gleaming remnants of the most fearsome dynasty of the 2010s and its future. The balance didn’t work out last season, as the Warriors produced flashes of old greatness to win one play-in game before flaming out in the next. Such results are a frustrating waste of Stephen Curry’s wonderful form even at 38 years old. Lendeborg is the best hope in a while to help maximize it. But even more importantly, Lendeborg is the character of the season so far. He’s spent its first two weeks antagonizing superstars, firing off unselfconscious takes in the press and vacuuming up the spotlight from his blander peers. What a joy to bear witness to an athlete who probably didn’t even hear the words “media training” until college. Continue reading...

AI (artificial intelligence)While there’s no evidence linking AI to mass layoffs, the tech has already ‘changed worker psychology’ When artificial intelligence researcher Mrinank Sharma quit his job at Anthropic earlier this year, the news rippled across the internet. In his resignation letter, posted on X and viewed 15.3m times, Sharma warned of a world “in peril” from the technology he had helped build. “It is clear to me the time has come to move on,” he wrote. His next move: a poetry degree. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026In a Guardian article in 2010, the Oxford Rhodes scholar said UK democracy had the ‘upper hand’ over the US US politics live – latest updates In the tense final hours before his dramatic election as senator for Michigan in this week’s midterms , Abdul El-Sayed had a heated encounter with a British TV journalist that rapidly went viral. As James Matthews, of Sky News, tried to ask him a question, El-Sayed bit back . “Why would I care to have a conversation with you?” he demanded of Matthews, placing both hands on the reporter’s shoulders in a gesture of emphasis.

Romantasy (books genre)Some dismiss books like A Court of Thorns and Roses as mere genre fiction. But reading for pleasure has its own magical power Fitness influencers love to inform us that “summer bodies are built in winter”, and boy oh boy have I spent the last three colder months in the southern hemisphere in a deep phase of preparation. I had a meticulous spreadsheet. I tracked everything with military precision. I committed to my grindset and sacrificed for my goals. However, my end result wasn’t a six-pack of abs and a back strong enough to carry a dinner convo with the most punishing of acquaintances. It was to consume the entire back catalogue of Sarah J Maas – 16 books in total (including the novellas) – in anticipation of the long-awaited sixth book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Regulator’s initial ruling says algorithm ‘can be harmful’ and led young and vulnerable viewers ‘down rabbit holes they can’t easily escape’ Business live – latest updates TikTok has been charged by the European Commission with failing to protect users’ mental health by exposing them to a relentless stream of content that risks worsening eating disorders and anxiety in a case that strikes at its business model. Issuing a preliminary ruling on Friday, the EU regulator said TikTok’s algorithm “can be harmful” and was leading young and vulnerable users “down rabbit holes they cannot easily escape from”.

US unemployment and employment data‘Low-hire, low-fire’ labor market shows sluggish growth but few layoffs, with an interest rate hike expected in December The US added 165,000 jobs to the economy in October, a sign of resilience in the labor market amid ongoing war in the Middle East and inflation, according to new data released on Friday. Economists had said the labor market has been stuck in a “low-hire, low-fire” state, in which job growth is sluggish but layoffs also remain low, but October’s data surpassed economist expectations. The unemployment rate went down slightly to 4.1%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported. Continue reading...

Flávio BolsonaroFar-right politician addresses Conservative Political Action Conference and makes unsubstantiated claims about election fraud Flávio Bolsonaro, the far-right politician who lost Brazil’s presidential election last month, has insisted his defeat is not “the end for Brazil” as he battles to maintain political relevance after fleeing to the US. Bolsonaro absconded early last week shortly after losing the 25 October election to the leftwing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by more than 4m votes. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026A decade of political misery does terrible things to the mind. Tuesday’s wins came with a sense of unreality Late on Tuesday night, the comedian Alex Edelman asked a poignant question on social media : “I know we’ve never had to ask this before tonight, but what’s the opposite of doomscrolling?” I don’t have a definitive answer to that, though I did offer the term “ boomscrolling ”, accompanied by a gif of the social media sensation and Costco enthusiast Big Boom AJ.
