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.

Wildlife advocates incensed as documents show state paid out $2,000 per kill in effort to shrink state’s wolf population Idaho officials paid hunters thousands of dollars for killing a dozen newborn wolf pups this spring, including what appears to be at least one full litter killed in or near its den, according to state records shared with the Guardian and Public Domain. The wolf pup killings have incensed wildlife advocates in Idaho, where state wildlife officials have been ordered to take extraordinary measures to shrink the state’s re-introduced wolf population amid complaints from the livestock industry and big game hunting outfitters.

Russell BrandBrand has been supported by Tony Lyons, who runs Maha Action, and has appeared on stage with Mehmet Oz Weeks before Russell Brand ’s conviction for rape and sexual assault by a court in the UK, he appeared as a featured speaker on a video call for Maha Action, an American group closely allied with the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr . It was a reflection on the warm embrace Brand, a comedian and actor, has received from prominent Trump administration officials and other leaders in Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” (Maha) movement, where Brand has used his star status to criticize vaccines and vaccine mandates, junk food, and pharmaceutical companies. He has also heaped praise on Kennedy and other members of the Trump administration. Continue reading...

IranWhile some fear another full-scale war, others are less sure – but both agree repression at home will continue Just hours after the US midterm election results delivered a crushing defeat for the Republican party, pro-regime crowds gathered in Tehran’s Enghelab Square to set fire to a giant banner depicting Donald Trump, his vice-president, JD Vance, the US envoy Steve Witkoff and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Iranian officials have since issued defiant statements celebrating the Republican losses, portraying the results as a rejection of Trump’s war against Iran. Continue reading...

MetaMeta says it removes content that could cause imminent physical harm – but nearly half a million members have joined a group that regularly promotes misinformation As a measles outbreak spread through Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in August, a parent turned to a massive public Facebook group, Crunchy Moms, for advice. They were considering getting their three-year-old vaccinated, in part to protect their six-month-old. “I’m nervous for my baby,” the parent wrote. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026Democrats won over rural voters from Maga in the midterms by focusing more on working people and less on culture wars Long before Jamie Ager entered politics, he was making a name for himself in a very different place: the meat counter of a grocery store in Boone, North Carolina. It was the early 2000s, and Ager owned and operated Hickory Nut Gap, a regenerative farm near Asheville. Over the next 20 years, he helped build a regional food system that delivered healthier food to thousands of people, improved land stewardship and made farming a bit more profitable.

Todrick Hall’s off-Broadway show is about a doomed interracial love affair during US slavery in the 1860s During the intermission of Midnight, an off-Broadway musical about a doomed interracial love affair during US slavery in the 1860s, a woman sitting behind me lauded the show and compared it to Hamilton. On the surface, she was correct. Midnight also has a diverse cast with stunning vocals and a story that reimagines a time within American history. The difference, however, is that Hamilton’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, used source material – a 2004 biography on Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow – to develop his original work, something the Midnight creator and star, Todrick Hall, eschewed entirely. Therein lies the issue. Midnight aims to focus on the intimate lives of enslaved people and deviates so far from the mark that it seemed the bull’s eye was somewhere outside the theatre. Midnight’s premise is that an enslaved man named Rail, played by Hall, who wrote and directed the musical, falls in love with Richard, a member of the wealthy planter class. They grow close after Richard “rents” Rail from Rail’s owner, Charlotte. Rail is in a relationship with Lily Rose, an enslaved woman, and Richard is engaged to Scarlet, a southern belle who needs to secure her family’s financial future through marriage. It’s a formulaic and recognizable story about star-crossed lovers – updated to explore a queer relationship during the time of enslavement. For years, Hall, a singer, choreographer and theatre actor, has repurposed classics like Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast through a queer lens. He deftly remixes the originals with modern cultural references, such as Beyoncé’s music or the tensions within current-day gay communities. But in Midnight, Hall reworks the past and creates his own fantasy that neglects the social realities of its characters. Continue reading...

The Universe is an Animal by Jessica Mookherjee; Sleep Gate by Sylvia Legris; The Other Love by Henri Cole; Stay Winter by Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe The Universe Is an Animal by Jessica Mookherjee (Nine Arches, £11.99) In this confident and capacious collection, scientific language commingles with familial histories of displacement and war. Echoes of violence, from the partition of East Pakistan and India, now modern-day Bangladesh, to an arrival in Wales, haunt many of the poems. In Waterlily, Mookherjee inverts Monet’s signature image into something far more sinister. An aunt “hides under Bhatiyari Lake, sari billows / until the men leave” to escape communal riots. Longer poems, such as this one, encode repetition and refrain into a genetic pattern of sound and meaning: “the dress she sews me is washed / with river mud from Bangladesh. / And I become Welsh. Uncle becomes ash.” Another long poem, The Reproductions, emerges from the poet’s study of evolutionary biology. Mookherjee asks how the stresses of famine, migration, war and racism impact uniquely on mother and child. She considers how suffering is not unique to the human animal only, as “ten percent / of mammalian foetuses don’t make it / out”. Death may be sometimes out of our hands, and the conditions of love and safety, too, may not be up to us. “I learned / a foetus can be reabsorbed / by the womb in sub-optimal / environments. When is it a good time?” Sleep Gate by Sylvia Legris (Fitzcarraldo, £12.99) In these sharply observed poetic ecologies, Legris tests the limits of human and nonhuman consciousness through a dizzying taxonomy of dream life. The dreams of earthworms, honeybees and hummingbirds are recounted unsentimentally with an apparently scientific precision. Likewise, circadian rhythms and pineal glands, producers of melatonin in the human brain, impossibly dictate the sleep patterns of an inanimate world of clouds, plants and minerals. In this great shared sleep between all things, we come to gradually recognise our common mortal destiny: “Sleep descends / as blood displaces air in the chest. // Sleep is a cooling off. / A rehearsal for death.” Mostly Legris avoids the simple anthropomorphism of nature poetry, in which a speaker projects inner feeling on to a landscape to cue up a Wordsworthian bliss or solitude. In fact, Legris sidelines the poetic “I” altogether, a deliberate response to the horror of mass extinction and the Anthropocene. Her poetry reads, at times, like a catalogue or list of specimens. Drawing from predecessors who also reckon with Armageddon, such as Danish experimental poet Inger Christensen and modernist poet Hilda Doolittle, Legris asks: what will outlast us in the evolution of life? Who or what will measure time after the great extinction, when “the clock strikes / quarter past dianthus, / alyssum on the half hour, / hyssop at high noon”? Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026Yes, the Republicans suffered humiliating defeat. But the fact that a Trump presidency was even possible means something like it could happen again He’s down, but not quite out. Barring divine or other intervention, Donald Trump will remain in the Oval Office for a further two years and 10 weeks. Or, as the White House put it in a plaintive social media post brimming with neediness: “PSA [Public Service Announcement]: Trump is still your president.” But that’s not the only reason why the global celebrations that greeted the Democratic tidal wave that swept Republicans out of even their deepest heartlands should be tempered, if only a tad. Don’t get me wrong, the results of Tuesday’s midterm elections are cause for genuine international jubilation. The defeats of Trump allies in Serbia and Brazil were delicious appetisers, but this was the feast. No mere electoral setback in line with midterm tradition, this was a thorough repudiation of the second Trump presidency and of Trumpism. The 16% swing to Democrats in the popular vote for the House of Representatives was greater even than the 11.2% swing recorded in the Watergate midterms of November 1974, following the resignation in disgrace of Richard Nixon. Trump had worked hard for many months to undermine these elections , either by gerrymandering districts in his favour or preparing the ground for a later claim the vote was rigged, but to no avail: the democratic system proved too resilient, and the American public too determined to have their say. And have it they did, in a voice loud and clear. Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

UN conference this month seen as key moment after years of discussions on filling gap in governance of AI systems Plans to fill a gap in the global governance of autonomous weapons are in jeopardy as a group of nations led by Russia and the US move to use a UN conference this month to block proposals to negotiate a legally binding set of rules. The scale of the opposition will become clear at a diplomatic retreat starting on Friday before the seventh review conference on “certain conventional weapons” in Geneva due to be attended by 128 countries from 16 to 20 November.

US midterm elections 2026Fred Wellman, host of the progressive podcast On Democracy, defeated longtime incumbent Republican Ann Wagner Fred Wellman’s victory in Missouri’s second congressional district on Tuesday was such a surprise that NBC News’s star data analyst Steve Kornacki didn’t even have a graphic prepared, he told supporters on election night. Longtime Republican incumbent Ann Wagner, who had been widely expected to hold her seat, was swept aside as part of a broader wave of Democratic victories across the country. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026Even Donald Trump has acknowledged that support for Israel is increasingly a political liability in US politics. Will the Democratic leadership listen? Abdul El-Sayed’s victorious path to the US Senate must become a wake-up call to the Democratic party . It shows us, yet again, that Democratic voters care about Gaza , that Palestinian demands for freedom are increasingly connected to American demands for freedom, and that the old smears and accusations against Palestinians and their supporters are fast losing potency. Even Donald Trump has acknowledged that support for Israel is increasingly a political liability in American politics. Will Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democratic leadership listen?

Our panel breaks down the players to watch, the dark horses, the state of the league and the top candidates to reach the championship game in DC Compelling storylines that kept the league interesting during a crowded sports summer. The interval years that aren’t Olympic or World Cup years are often quieter for the NWSL (see: average attendance was essentially flat among the non-expansion teams). In a year with the men’s World Cup on home soil and a major anniversary season for the WNBA, most of the NWSL’s teams gave a solid showing, with close competition for the Shield, an entertaining Golden Boot race and the returns of several big stars. Even those teams who did not give a solid showing – hello, Chicago – finally made some encouraging moves in the right direction. (Louisville next, please.) Ella Brockway Continue reading...

Once this tasty tuber is established in your garden, you’ll have a crop for life. Great news – if you can digest them It’s intriguingly rare to see a crop of jerusalem artichokes , considering how easy they are to grow. They’re part of the sunflower family and, surprisingly, entirely unrelated to the globe artichoke. They produce tall, leggy stems upon which a bright yellow flower blooms, and while they lack the size and sturdiness of sunflowers, they make up for that by appearing in great numbers and developing edible tubers underground. Despite these admirable features, there are good reasons why they are not the most common sight. First, though nutty and delicious, these tubers can be quite hard to digest – earning them the nickname “fartichokes”. They contain a carbohydrate that can be tough on the gut, so it’s recommended that they are cooked well and introduced into your diet incrementally. Having said that, some eat jerusalem artichokes raw, so to those who are devoted to them, or have a fierce digestive system, they’re never off the menu. The second reason they’re not that common, I suspect, is that once you’ve planted them, you’ve probably got them for ever – and, wow, do they know how to run rampant. Continue reading...

Social media is awash with claims iron deficiency can be identified in the mirror by dark circles, breaking hair and dry skin. But is ‘ferritin face’ real? Madeleine Finlay tells Ian Sample why so many of us struggle to keep our iron levels up, how we can actually diagnose low iron and the best way to correct a deficiency, with help from Hal Drakesmith, a professor of iron biology at Oxford University, and advice from Dr Sue Pavord, a consultant haematologist at Oxford university hospitals and associate senior lecturer in clinical medicine at St Edmund Hall.

US midterm elections 2026Texas business owner says he expected ICE raids to focus on those with criminal records not his relatives and employees Tuesday night’s explosive rout of the Republican party was supercharged by the fury of Hispanic Americans who turned out in record numbers in key battlegrounds to protest the Trump administration ’s anti-immigrant assault on their communities. “Trump went against us,” said Benny Melendez from Weslaco, Texas. “He made us the target of ICE operations, so we decided to punish him by voting against his party. That’s what happened.” Continue reading...

A shared joy of the sport has united Canada for much of its history. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult – and expensive – to watch games on television The Oilers lost to the Detroit Red Wings on 26 October, but Edmonton captain Connor McDavid got an assist anyway. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Just 16 games into the year, McDavid has 31 assists. It’s the fastest anyone has ever hit that milestone in any NHL season. But on that night in late October, many fans in Edmonton were unable to see McDavid’s feats – including patrons of a local bar – because it was one of nine Oilers games this season that are only available via a subscription to a premium streaming service. It’s the same story in every Canadian NHL city, thanks to changes to broadcasts that have meant that a handful of games for each team are now only available with a $12.99 per month subscription to Sportsnet+, a streaming channel owned by Canadian telecom juggernaut – and owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs – Rogers Communications Inc. But it’s not just Sportsnet+. The NHL also expanded its broadcast deal with Amazon, so when, two nights after the game against Detroit, the Oilers played their provincial rival, the Calgary Flames, only Amazon Prime subscribers could watch (true to form, McDavid got two assists in that one).

The Indian-Irish poet on the Mahabharata retelling that inspired her to write, Arundhati Roy’s courage, and the poetry of Lucille Clifton My earliest reading memory My father was a sailor and my mother a teacher. They were both voracious readers. I was lucky enough to come from a home full of books and when we joined my father out at sea for extended periods of time, my mother carried plenty of books for me to read. I remember sitting by the porthole in our cabin, looking out at the sea on a sunny day, the ship moving calmly through the waters. I was reading The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, a book that still feels like a dream. I was four years old. My favourite book growing up There were so many, but when I was a child experiencing the death of my great-grandmother, a maternal figure who I adored, The Neverending Story by Michael Ende became the most essential read for me. I must have read that book a hundred times. I also loved the Winnie-the-Pooh books, Enid Blyton’s Faraway Tree series, the Panchatantra tales, Malgudi Days by RK Narayan and the Asterix comics by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.
