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.

US first lady awarded for ‘significant personal contribution to humanitarian support’. What we know on day 1,716 Volodymyr Zelenskyy has awarded Melania Trump a national honour for her role in brokering a partial ceasefire that allowed the evacuation of civilians from the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky. “I hereby decree that the Order of Princess Olga, First Class, be awarded to Melania Trump, first lady of the United States of America,” a decree on the Ukrainian presidential website said on Wednesday. The text acknowledged her “significant personal contribution to humanitarian support for Ukraine, and for active human rights and charitable work”. Melania Trump last month announced a localised truce between Ukrainian and Russian forces to allow for residents of Oleshky – on the southern front – to leave after suffering weeks of shortages of food and medicine. She said nearly 800 people were evacuated . Ukraine this week accused Russia of taking advantage of the truce to strengthen its military position there, while the Kremlin said adjusting positions during a ceasefire was “standard practice”. Ukraine’s security services announced the dismissal of two senior officials linked to a high-level anti-corruption probe into bogus call centres. The head of the SBU, Oleksandr Poklad, “removed from their posts two senior SBU officials implicated in an investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau” (Nabu), the service said on Telegram on Wednesday. The SBU – Ukraine’s internal security service – said it was “providing full support” for the probe and that Poklad expected Nabu’s investigation to be “transparent, objective and impartial”. The two agencies have long been at odds. Revelations about the scam caused Ukraine’s prosecutor general Ruslan Kravchenko to quit in September after his offices were searched. He has denied wrongdoing. Zelenskyy made a surprise visit to Madrid to drum up fresh military support against Russia during a summit of Latin American leaders in Spain. He confirmed his arrival on Wednesday on social media, saying “our top priority is strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses, protecting our people and expanding defense cooperation and production”. “Further support steps are being prepared,” the Ukrainian president added, without providing detail. Russian attacks triggered power and water outages for hours across the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and surrounding regions on Wednesday while Zelenskyy said the death toll from an attack in southern Ukraine had risen to 40. Multiple Russian guided bombs slammed into a former school and nearby shelter in the village of Komyshuvakha, near the frontline in the Zaporizhzhia region, as residents waited for humanitarian aid on Monday. In addition to those killed, Zelenskyy said 30 more people could still be buried in the rubble. A Ukrainian drone attack killed three members of the same family, including a child, in Russia’s border Belgorod region, officials said. The region’s general headquarters said the drone struck a minibus in which the three people, including an eight-year-old child, were travelling on Wednesday. The UK apologised to Ukrainian child refugees who were told to study Russian in English schools , as it launched funding for a new GCSE in Ukrainian, reports Matthew Weaver . “So many students were pushed into having to do Russian,” UK schools minister Georgia Gould said while announcing the new qualification. “I’m really sorry that they were put in that position.” Canada joined a coalition of countries refusing to play ice hockey teams from Russia due to the war in Ukraine, with Mark Carney saying Russian skaters will not be able to compete in the world junior championship next month.

The tech billionaire set spending record as he poured $446m into campaigns for failed Republican candidates Elon Musk set a record for election spending this year after pouring nearly half a billion dollars into backing Republicans in the US midterm elections . It turned out to be a poor investment. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO contributed at least $446m to Republican-aligned Super Pacs and groups over the course of the elections, specifically targeting several key Senate races in an effort to help the Trump administration retain Republican control of Congress. He outdid his own 2024 spending of nearly $290m. Yet as Democrats swept to power across the country on Tuesday night, it became clear that Musk would get nearly nothing in return for his hundreds of millions in spending. Continue reading...

ColoradoAmendment 81 would have required law enforcement to notify federal agents if people accused of violent crimes were not lawfully present in US Colorado voters have spurned a conservative group’s effort to force police and prosecutors to aid the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda. Amendment 81, which failed to receive 55% of the vote on Tuesday, would have required Colorado’s law enforcement agents to notify federal immigration authorities if individuals accused of violent crime were not lawfully present in the US or if their legal status was undetermined.

Young people and women most at risk, study finds, as researchers call for vegan products to be fortified with iodine in particular Switching from dairy products to plant-based alternatives could lead to deficiencies in vital micronutrients, especially among young people and women, a study has found. Even moving partly to vegan alternatives to milk, cheese and yoghurt could lead to falls in iodine, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B12 if the substitutes, often based on soya, almonds or oats, are not fortified, scientists said.

The winner of the 2026 Baillie Gifford prize is a riveting work of ancient history that feels startlingly present • ‘Blockbuster’ history of Alexander the Great wins £50,000 Baillie Gifford prize In 336BC, Alexander was not great. He was a wiry 20-year-old “no one had thought much about” who found himself king of Macedon after the assassination of his father, Philip. He seemed uniquely unfit for the position. Desperate to prove his worth, Alexander led an army into the Persian empire to confront Darius III, a man who ruled more than 50 million people. Darius was so confident of victory that he brought his family along for the show. Alexander was outnumbered, and apparently out of his depth. He had suffered a fever that left him “shaking and helpless”, and dissent rattled through his ranks. A vast military force was bearing down on him, with Darius at the helm. “He did not know it yet,” Edmund Richardson writes, “but Alexander was about to become a legend.” Continue reading...

US midterm elections 2026When the US’s first Muslim senator used Arabic in his victory speech, it cut through the torrent of vile racism Maga launched at him throughout his campaign Repeat after me: yallah. YAH-luh. This versatile Arabic word means everything from “hurry up”, to “come on” to “speak to you later”. If you add a “bye” at the end, the meaning shifts to “please shut up, fool” or “speak soon friend,” depending on your intonation. Next up: wallah. wa-LAH. Again, the definition changes depending on context and cadence. It can mean everything from “no way!” to “I swear to God.” Continue reading...

Another European away day, another victory for Arsenal: albeit only just. This time, Viktor Gyökeres stole the show as poor Slavia Prague matched the longest winless streak in European Cup and Champions League history despite a spirited late comeback. That unwanted record stands at 23, equalling the mark set by AEK Athens and FCSB – formerly known as Steaua Bucharest – while Arsenal are unbeaten in their 10 last away trips. However, had it not been for a wonder save from David Raya, the Czech champions would have snatched a point after Wiktor Nowak pulled one back late on as Mikel Arteta’s usually watertight defence showed signs of fallibility under pressure.

Kseniia Petrova was detained for four months after arrest with research samples, and feared deportation to Russia Federal prosecutors have dropped all criminal charges against a Russian scientist who spent four months in immigration detention after flying into Boston with frog embryos intended for cancer research at Harvard Medical School. Kseniia Petrova, 31, was arrested in March 2025 after returning from a vacation in France, where she had visited a laboratory specializing in cutting extremely thin sections of frog embryos. During her visit, she obtained a package of samples for her research back in the US. Continue reading...

Dennis Quaid is wasted in a predictable drama with a cute basset hound and not much more US election results may still be trickling in, but Netflix has already made the call: ’tis the season! Just four days into November, with leaves still on the trees and much of the country stuck in T-shirt weather, the streaming service has decided to hit full-send on the longest possible window for cookie-cutter cheer and fake snow; as of now, Christmas is a go. And with an opening salvo like the plainly titled A Dog’s Perfect Christmas, one would think the company has given itself a running head start to the holiday mass market. Or, at least, a cute-enough face, courtesy of one sweet basset hound and a corgi puppy, to possibly work as a naked attention ploy. A Dog’s Perfect Christmas, from A Dog’s Purpose creator W Bruce Cameron, does at least have the decency to set the scene before Thanksgiving and acknowledge said ploy; if there is one thing a grumbling man named “Sander Goss” (a constipated-looking Dennis Quaid) and I can agree on, it’s that they keep starting Christmas too early.

US midterm elections 2026Community college professor unseats incumbent Republican David Valadao in seat redrawn under Prop 50 Democrat Randy Villegas, a community college professor with notable progressive endorsements, has won the race for California ’s 22nd congressional district in an contest that shaped up to be one of the toughest political battles in the state. He unseated the six-term, incumbent Republican congressman, David Valadao, in a district that was considered the only true toss-up across the state of California after being redrawn under Proposition 50 , a voter-approved ballot initiative that remade the state’s voting maps last year.

I’m a notoriously slow tea drinker. This clever invention means I never have to suffer through another lukewarm cup Sign up for the Filter US newsletter, your weekly guide to buying fewer, better things November kicks off the season of itchy sweaters, gusty weather and elaborate excuses not to leave the house. For me, this also means a dramatic uptick in tea consumption. Few things make a chilly morning more tolerable than a steaming hot beverage, like this hearty pumpkin and red bean tea I have been quaffing lately. The problem is that I’m a painfully slow tea drinker. I’ll make myself a lovely cup, take a few sips, get distracted by work and remember it exists 45min later, when it’s gone miserably lukewarm. I’ll then drink my sad tea or get up to boil the kettle again (while finishing my sad tea as I wait). In the past, I’ve kept the kettle on to avoid this predicament, but I recently found a much better fix: the Ohom Ui self-heating mug , a small luxury that has made my tea habit considerably more pleasurable, and possibly ruined regular mugs for me for good.

US midterm elections 2026Troy Jackson, in just 101 days, bested the Republican, preventing her sixth Senate term: ‘You can’t eat road salt’ The political demise of Susan Collins – a fixture of Maine and Washington politics for three decades – recalls the famous line in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises about how one of the novel’s characters experienced bankruptcy: gradually, then suddenly. In the run-up to Tuesday’s stunning Democrat “blue wave” election triumph, it seemed obvious that Collins’s 30-year tenure as Maine’s Republican senator was vulnerable to the challenge of Troy Jackson, the Democrats’ explicitly working-class candidate as voters prepared to unleash pent-up anger with Donald Trump ’s presidency.

US midterm elections 2026The historic Democratic victories in the 2026 midterm elections were more than just a rebuke of Donald Trump and his Maga movement – they are a five-alarm fire for the Republican party itself, which may be on the verge of collapse. The sweeping wins in GOP strongholds like Texas, Iowa and Kansas reveal an electorate that is fed up and eager for change. But that anger could turn on Democrats – quick. Now that they run Congress, what can the fractured Democratic coalition achieve? And will they do enough to keep voters on their side in 2028? Kai Wright and Carter Sherman break down what we know about this once-in-a-lifetime election and how this new Congress has the potential to be the most consequential since Reconstruction Continue reading...
