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.

Democrats’ success was helped by popular anger over tech, AI and the super rich – life for billionaires could become much more difficult The photo of Silicon Valley centi-billionaires at Donald Trump’s inauguration – Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg, front row and side by side – now looks like a hitlist for a blue Congress hellbent on making life difficult for billionaires. The picture symbolized at the time the bending of the knee by the richest men in the world to its most powerful, a symbiosis of the ultra-rich. Already unfathomably wealthy, Silicon Valley tycoons believed a Maga-sized public shift to the right would enrich them even more. It did. For several years, while Trump seemed an everlasting kingmaker and AI’s expansion seemed unstoppable, their fortunes ballooned to values beyond comprehension. Elon Musk’s surpassed $1tn.

TelevisionSeries two of this rambunctiously entertaining espionage drama might be implausible. But it’s a magnetically acted tale of friendship, with moments of genuine poignance Is Helen Webb Britain’s busiest mum? Or Britain’s least busy mum? On the one hand, she’s got two kids, is the wife of the recently promoted prime minister and also a deep cover spy, who spends her days passing information about her husband’s work to a shady intelligence organisation and her nights on covert missions which often involve acts of bloody slaughter. Yet the reason she can do all this is that nobody expects her to do anything at all: she doesn’t have to look after her children (she has an ever-present nanny – who, unbeknown to Helen, is in fact another spy), manage the household, hold down a job or even sleep in her own bed at night. Forget getting away with murder – how does she get away with not doing the school run?! I don’t think you’re meant to spend Black Doves obsessing over Helen’s domestic arrangements, but if you like cataloguing the ways spy dramas stretch credulity to its absolute limits, Joe Barton’s thriller will certainly scratch that itch. This is a show so relentlessly preposterous it’s practically nihilistic: not just because Black Doves’ excessive body count makes life itself look cheap and worthless, but because searching for coherence in its bewildering storylines quickly starts feeling like a waste of time too.

Health & wellbeingSome now suggest a monthly dose of art can boost wellbeing. But the last thing we need is another item on our to-do lists As the long autumn subsides and we finally head into winter, so we hit that point in the calendar when two rival theories of seasonal survival play out: one, the permission-giving invitation to give up and power down, encapsulated by Scandinavian hygge and Katherine May’s 2020 blockbuster Wintering ; and two, the exhortation to push through the discomfort and get out there. If the midterm results in the US give us a huge boost this week, still we have to keep going until spring. The latest contribution to the get-up-and-out-there branch of motivational badgering comes in the form of a report by an arts charity suggesting that, as with exercise and being in nature, our baseline mood may be improved by exposing ourselves to art on a regular basis. According to Art Fund, a national body that promotes access to the arts, a person’s mental and physical wellbeing may be meaningfully affected by abiding by a handy acronym – RDA for recommended dose of art – and attaching it to what appears to be an entirely arbitrary prescription, namely 60 minutes of art ingestion a month. According to Daisy Fancourt, a professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London who wrote the report’s foreword, do this and, “alongside having a balanced diet, regular exercise and spending time outdoors”, your health will thank you.

US midterm elections 2026Accuracy of US polling came into sharp focus after Trump outperformed polls in 2016, 2020 and 2024 Political polling experts hailed a “great night” for the industry after surveys accurately foresaw much of the Democratic blue wave that swept across the US in midterm elections. In only a handful of US Senate races, including Texas and New Hampshire, key polls failed to gauge the scale of the Democratic victory over Republicans on Tuesday. Continue reading...

A Korean family is willing to sacrifice everything for their children’s education, in the third book in Lee’s Diaspora Quartet “An excellent hagwon,” according to one of the characters in Min Jin Lee’s new novel, “is everything.” Every year, Korean parents pay hefty sums to send their children to these private after-school academies designed to turbocharge academic performance, where they spend evenings and weekends being drilled in mathematics, reasoning and essay technique. In the third book in what she has called her Diaspora Quartet – a follow-up to 2017’s Pachinko , recently named one of the New York Times’s top 100 books of the 21st century – she presents the fierce competition to snag a spot at those hagwons deemed the best as symptomatic of Korea’s scarcity mindset: in a country where university places and white-collar jobs are hard to come by, everyone’s looking for an edge. But over the course of the novel’s 650 pages, they also come to stand as symbols of pretty much everything you can think of: of country and culture; of failure and success; of responsibility, or the lack of it; of what it means to achieve, and of what, in the final analysis, the purpose of our achievements might be. The action in American Hagwon unspools over nearly three decades, and crisscrosses from Seoul to Sydney to California and back to Seoul again. At its centre is the Koh family: John, Helen and their three children, Bo, DH and Mido. When the novel opens in 1992, their life in Korea appears comfortably middle-class – John is a senior manager at a multinational corporation; Helen is an upmarket saleswoman, her commissions covering the children’s hagwon fees. But they are dramatically capsized: first by a personal betrayal and then again, in a brutal one-two, by the financial crisis that clobbered Asia in the late 90s. The family move, then later move once more: sometimes together, more often following their own trajectories; but always connected, and supporting one another as opportunity and need ebb and flow between them.

Heartfelt real-life drama follows the late activist whose groundbreaking struggle helped build a rainbow alliance with gay action groups and the Black Panthers The remarkable story of the late US disability rights campaigner and wheelchair user Judy Heumann – pronounced “human” – is the subject of this heartfelt if Hollywoodised story from director and co-writer Sian Heder, based on Heumann’s own 2020 memoir of the same title. In the lead is British actor Ruth Madeley , who has spina bifida and is herself a disability rights activist; she gives a forthright, smart, sympathetic performance. Heumann’s finest hour was to get the federal government to sign into law Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act , whose accessibility provisions had been resisted by Nixon, Ford and then Carter. In 1977, Heumann led a guerrilla sit-in occupation of the San Francisco Health, Education and Welfare offices, her group being a rainbow alliance including gay action groups and the Black Panthers. Secretary of State for Health Joseph Califano sensationally conceded and signed the bill that he and the political establishment had obstructed for years. He is played by Mark Ruffalo, whose nice-guy persona and one-note performance of exasperated detachment does however rather obscure the fact that in real life, Califano at first personally authorised moves to starve the protesters out. In the movie, this grim political decision is not explicitly dramatised. Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026But the president still has veto power, which he can wield to dictate policy over tariffs, the war in Iran or aid for Ukraine In a rare occurrence, a US election may have actually been decided by foreign policy. Donald Trump ’s war in Iran and international tariffs are seen as playing a key role in the inflationary pressures that drove so many Americans to vote against his party on Tuesday in what has been described as a “generational wipeout” for the Republicans . And in the coming months, the president is going to face severe headwinds on those policies as Democrats storm back into control of Congress, threatening investigations of some of his top envoys and Pentagon contractors, big fights over budgets linked to the Iran war, and greater scrutiny of US relationships with allies such as Israel.

Four-year study warns destabilised marine food webs could jeopardise food security by 2050 Warming seas around the UK and the wider north-east Atlantic could destabilise marine food webs, weaken ocean health and jeopardise food security by 2050, according to a four-year study. Scientists who projected the impact of climate breakdown on four key groups of marine life crucial to maintaining ocean ecosystems in the region said their results challenged assumptions that in middle latitudes, such as the UK, marine biodiversity was likely to increase across the board.

Serbia holidaysA new optimism pervades the Serbian capital following the recent elections, making it a great time to visit its bars, clubs, markets and riverside hotspots There’s a celebratory mood in Belgrade, the Serbian capital. For almost two years protest has shaped everyday life as a student-led movement demanding accountability and an end to corruption gathered momentum after a concrete canopy at Novi Sad’s newly renovated railway station collapsed in November 2024, killing 16 people. Demonstrations grew into a nationwide challenge to the government and finally, last month the student-backed list won an outright majority in parliamentary elections – a dramatic shift in Serbia’s political landscape. Crowds gathered in Slavija Square, and celebrations spilled into the streets and bars. The formation of a new government still lies ahead, but the city feels full of possibility. Continue reading...

All-round upgrades fit a bigger OLED screen in a smaller and lighter body with water resistance for first time The new iPad mini takes Apple’s fan-favourite tiny tablet and upgrades just about everything about it, including giving it a new OLED screen, serious performance, speakers embedded into the display and even water resistance, all with a big new price tag. The eighth-generation iPad mini costs from £699 (€749/$699/A$1,099), which is £200 or equivalent more than the original price of its predecessor as RAMageddon continues to bite . That makes it uncomfortably expensive, costing £270 more than the base model iPad (A16) and only £50 cheaper than the bigger 11in iPad Air M4 . Continue reading...

The far rightIn today’s newsletter: From the cost of living to the AI bubble and the fight against fascism, Weber answers Guardian readers’ questions on how to build a fairer economy and world Good morning. As stateside celebrations die down, the Democratic party will be forced to confront a (deceptively) simple question: now what? Their colossal midterm successes will curtail Trump’s power during his remaining time in office, but the battle to shape the Democratic platform heading into next year’s presidential primaries is only just getting started. While rallying against Trump is one thing, sustaining support by making a tangible difference to the lives of voters struggling with the cost of living is another. It’s a challenge for progressive parties facing down the far right across the world. UK | Cocaine has overtaken heroin as the biggest cause of drug deaths in England and Wales, figures from the Office for National Statistics show. France | Hundreds of thousands are expected to march in demonstrations across France as trade unions call for a nationwide strike expected to extend to hospital workers, air traffic control, the post office, teachers and rail staff. Commonwealth summit | The UK has agreed to “structured dialogue” in the next year with Caribbean nations affected by the slave trade and its legacy, Commonwealth leaders have said. US news | Pete Hegseth is increasingly looking like he may take the fall for Republicans’ midterm losses, despite Donald Trump’s vocal support for his defense secretary, even calling him a champion of war. Ebola | A British healthcare worker with Ebola is being evacuated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the UK for medical treatment, it has been confirmed. Continue reading...

Exclusive: pro-democracy activist’s prison letters reveal fascination with AI, brushes with Triads and an appetite for books Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong sentenced to 10 years in prison in national security case From inside Hong Kong’s oldest maximum security prison, where he swaps books with Triad gang members and studies law, Joshua Wong writes letters like a man desperate to stay connected to the outside world. Excerpts from his private prison writings reveal the pro-democracy activist asking friends to take screenshots of social media accounts and put questions to AI chatbots on his behalf.

A formal apology over slavery without direct reparations will give the UK the moral high ground but no legal liability A beach in Antigua is not the ideal place for a prime minister to be photographed less than a week after his first budget where the focus was the crushing cost-of-living crisis. Add to the beachside cocktail a row about reparations for the British role in the slave trade, one of the favoured punching bags of the right-wing press, and it becomes easy to understand why Andy Burnham was wary of even attending the Commonwealth heads of government meeting .

Future brightens for US developers in particular after election when voters rejected Trump’s war on clean energy After years as collateral damage in Donald Trump’s war on climate action, the Democrats’ sweeping triumph in the US midterm elections has emerged as a victory for the global renewable energy industry too. Across the world’s financial centres the market value of renewable energy developers climbed as the election results confirmed the Republicans had lost control of the Senate and House of Representatives.

Television & radioWhen Kinnear was 10, his beloved father Roy died in an on-set accident. This affected how he now approaches his work as an actor, and also his understanding of life’s most important questions At first glance, Rory Kinnear is Mr Normal. Bald head, nice face, wholly unremarkable. As an actor, he’s not one for flashy tricks – no dramatic weight loss or gain, rarely disguising himself with prosthetics or CGI. Yet, somehow, whatever role Kinnear plays, he’s totally different. So here I am in his dressing room at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London, face to face with the man I’ve just seen on stage, and whose films and TV shows I’ve pored over for the past week, failing to recognise him. For starters, at 6ft, he’s taller than he should be. And more hench. And, actually, hotter. Continue reading...
