Pursuit of anon-stop executionsa causing psychological distress to corrections staff as states urged to widen gap between executions

The relentless pursuit of anon-stop executionsa by a rump of US death penalty states is exposing prison staff to extreme levels of psychological and physical stress, according to traumatized corrections officers who are appealing for help.

Though capital punishment is generally on the wane in America, with only five states carrying out executions last year, those states that remain active are showing a renewed determination. In some states, the pace of judicial killings is now so intense that prison guards are kept in an almost permanent state of readiness, with mock executions staged on a rolling basis.

Public disapproval mounts for South Dakota governor and vice-presidential hopeful whose book contains gruesome account

Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor and Republican vice-presidential hopeful, saw polling numbers plummet after the Guardian revealed that she writes in a new book about the day she shot dead a hunting dog and an un-castrated goat, a revelation that ignited a political storm.

Senate minority leader says he is anot advocating anything at this levela and that issue is too divisive among lawmakers for consensus

Asked whether he supports a federal abortion ban, US Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that he is anot advocating anything at this levela.

The Republican, during remarks in a new interview published by NBCas Meet the Press, stopped short of saying whether or not he supported a 15-week federal ban on abortion with exceptions, but he instead portrayed the issue as aa practical mattera that was too divisive among federal lawmakers to result in a consensus among them.

Robert F Kennedy Jr has dismissed Donald Trump as aunhingeda after a social media tirade from the former Republican president accused the independent White House hopeful of being a aDemocrat planta and awasted protest votea.

aWhen frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,a Kennedy wrote Saturday on X in a post that doubled as a debate challenge. aPresident Trumpas rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.a

Star of Lupin says notions of justice, equality and fraternity have been shaken along with his optimism

The French actor Omar Sy, the star of the hit Netflix series Lupin, has said France must move away from the individualism that is fragmenting society and rebuild a sense of the collective if it is to hold back the far right.

Researchers are calling for the retraction of misleading anti-abortion studies that could influence judges in critical cases

The retraction of three peer-reviewed articles prominently cited in court cases on the so-called abortion pill a mifepristone a has put a group of papers by anti-abortion researchers in the scientific limelight.

Seventeen sexual and reproductive health researchers are calling for four peer-reviewed studies by anti-abortion researchers to be retracted or amended. The papers, critics contend, are afatally flaweda and muddy the scientific consensus for courts and lawmakers who lack the scientific training to understand their methodological flaws.

Trumpas former fixer to appear as prosecution witness, while Avenatti, serving prison sentence, willing to testify for defense

As Donald Trumpas hush-money trial enters its second week, jurors will be asked to focus on the testimony of his former Mr Fixit a the disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen.

Cohen, who served as Trumpas personal attorney for 12 years until 2018, is acting as a witness for the New York district attorney, Alvin Bragg. The case could turn on Cohenas testimony about payments sought by two women, the porn star Stormy Daniels and the Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, and how those payments were made and allegedly disguised, as prosecutors contend, in violation of accounting and political campaign laws.

The effectiveness of Tinder and Hinge is hard to judge without access to their data. But now researchers are creating a free alternative with full transparency

A class-action lawsuit filed in a US federal court last Valentineas Day accuses Match Group a the owners of Tinder, Hinge and OkCupid dating apps, among others a of using a apredatory business modela and of doing everything in its power to keep users hooked, in flagrant opposition to Hingeas claim that it is adesigned to be deleteda.

The lawsuit crystallised an ocean of dissatisfaction with the apps, and stimulated a new round of debate over their potential to harm mental health, but for scientists who study romantic relationships it sidestepped the central issue: do they work? Does using the apps increase your chances of finding your soulmate, or not? The answer is, nobody knows.

Having a baby led to an unexpected disease and then surgery that altered Lauren Benstedas body for ever. She talks about the pain she felt in being separated from her newborn, and her journey to learn to accept her new life

aWeare going to have to disconnect you,a says the man at my bedside. Since I was hospitalised a fortnight ago, this man and his team have been trying to save my colon, a 5ft-long tangle of ulcers and inflammation. The speed and scale of my colonas fury has fascinated doctors. I imagine them in their morning meetings, poring over my colonoscopy with the mystification usually reserved for the Voynich manuscript. But time is up. Unless they adisconnecta me, my bowel will perforate and I will die.

Disconnection, explains the doctor, involves whipping the whole colon out a here he mimes pulling a rabbit from a hat a and diverting my digestion through a hole in my abdomen called a stoma. He sketches my new anatomy on a piece of paper, quick as a high-street caricaturist. He cannot imagine what it is like to receive this news a to hear your body will change for ever and with it your whole life too a just as I cannot imagine what it is to break it. I want to grab his hand, ask him how. How does a body give birth to a healthy baby and then burst into flames?

Donat be deluded by media hullabaloo a but smart employers can get creative with schedules to attract and retain talent

According to CNN a4-day workweeks may be around the corner. A third of Americaas companies are exploring them.a CNBC says: aThis US company tested a 4-day workweek a and says it made workers happier and more productive.a Newsweek tells us: aMillennials Are Ready For a Four-Day Week.a So why do all of my clients say nope?

According to an advocacy organization, more than 300 companies have four-day workweeks and, per the reports above, many others are apparently atestinga the concept. I admit that Iave spoken to none of these companies but Iam not sure I have to. I spend my life working with small and mid-sized businesses and I know a PR stunt when I see one. Hey, good for them. In these times of tight labor - itas a great marketing campaign. aPeople! Come work for us except you donat have to do as much work and weall still pay you the same!a Now thatas a company I want to work for.

Life at itas essence is about time and by 2050, nearly 3.7 million people are expected to live up to 100. What can we do to get the most out of our bonus years?

Loneliness. Ageism. Physical limitations, cognitive decline and, increasingly, elder poverty.

The downsides of living to 100 and beyond are numerous. But so are the upsides. Life at its essence is about time a time to live, time to laugh, time to love a and many of those who have achieved a triple-digit age are living their best lives as centenarians.

A new approach aims to restore fish levels in the Yukon River but some feel it unfairly targets traditional practices while failing to tackle huge losses to industrial fishing in the ocean

Earlier this month Alaska officials announced a new plan they say could revive the Yukon Riveras struggling salmon population. The 2,000-mile waterway that runs from Canadaas Yukon Territory to the Bering Sea has seen sharp declines in its Chinook, or king salmon, in recent years.

The new strategy aims to restore the number of fish that reach their northern spawning areas near the Canadian border to 71,000, up from about 15,000 that reached the Canadian border in 2023, by suspending commercial, sport, domestic and personal use fisheries in the Yukon River until 2030. Previously, fishing closures were revisited each year.

The socialite and collector prioritised art over family and claimed she had 1,000 lovers. But a new UK exhibition tells another tale a that of the five years she spent in Hampshire and Sussex leading a relatively ordinary life, as her granddaughter explains

Beside the Grand Canal, on a wall of the palazzo she called home for 30 years, a portrait of Peggy Guggenheim fizzes with her larger-than-life personality, a personality that once reverberated between these walls, and across Venice. In the painting, Peggy wears a pair of her signature outsize sunglasses, and clutches three of her beloved Lhasa Apsos terriers. Today, Peggyas palazzo is a museum housing the art collection she amassed from the 1930s to the 1970s, featuring work by everyone from Picasso to Pollock, Ernst to Kandinsky, Duchamp to Tanguy, all of whom she knew and many of whom she slept with. The portrait hangs outside the office of the museumas director, who happens also to be Peggyas fiercest critic. She is Karole Vail, daughter of Peggyas son, Sindbad.

Vail has been director of the Venice Guggenheim (there are related Guggenheim museums in New York and Bilbao) since 2017, and itas fair to say that her take on her grandmother is mired in the belief that, while Peggy was a superlative art collector, she left much to be desired as a mother and grandmother. aShe was obsessed with the men in her life: she never focused on her children in the way they needed,a says Vail.

As many as 28% of young adults in the UK do not drink. Here, three of them explain why their relationship with alcohol has changed

A recent World Health Organization (WHO) study found Great Britain has the worst rate of child alcohol consumption in the world a with more than half of children in England, Scotland and Wales having drunk alcohol by the age of 13.

Yet this is coupled with a growing move towards sobriety among young people. Alcohol education charity Drinkaware found that, as of 2021, young adults were the most likely to not drink alcohol, at 28%, whereas older adults were the least likely, at 15%.

In a new book, Robert KD Colby of the University of Mississippi shows how the Confederacy remained committed to slavery

While the civil war is associated with the end of slavery in the US, the so-called peculiar institution survived throughout much of the Confederacy right to the end of the conflict. Thatas the thought-provoking narrative of a comprehensive new book by Robert KD Colby, a history professor at the University of Mississippi.

aMany Confederates saw slavery as indelibly bound up with their bid for independence, and used the slave trade to try to build a world around an independent slaveholding republic,a Colby says.

Sexual violence within the queer community is rarely visible in the media a we need to see our stories on the small screen

• Jeffrey Ingold was a LGBTQ+ consultant on Baby Reindeer

Richard Gaddas critically acclaimed Netflix series Baby Reindeer has proved wildly popular since its release two weeks ago.Itas a harrowing, semi-autobiographical tale about a young bisexual man who is stalked by an older woman. Much of the discussion around the show has focused on aMarthaa, the fictional portrayal of Gaddas real-life stalker. But Baby Reindeer is also a story of how trauma can shape the present, of sexual violence and its far-reaching impact, and sexuality.

For two years, I worked on Baby Reindeer as the showas LGBTQ+ consultant, reviewing scripts to feed back on how LGBTQ+ people and issues are represented, providing training on creating an inclusive set for cast and crew, and ultimately, acting as a resource to answer questions or concerns from anyone working on the show.

From Everest to Machu Picchu, we canat get enough of those amust-seea places. Itas time to show some restraint

Climbing Everest used to be an even more dangerous pursuit than it is today, requiring huge bravery, endurance and skill. Even then the mountain could kill. A century ago, it claimed the lives of two of Britainas finest climbers, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.

The worldas highest mountain eventually succumbed to human challenge when, almost three decades later, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay carried the flags of Britain, the UN, and Nepal to its summit on 29 May 1953. Sporadic trips involving handfuls of explorers continued over succeeding years.

The liberal justice has been called the supreme courtas conscience but we canat afford a repeat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A month ago Josh Barro (a man) at the Atlantic wrote a piece headlined Sonia Sotomayor Should Retire Now. Around the same time the Guardianas Mehdi Hasan (a man) similarly opined that afor the sake of all of us, Sonia Sotomayor needs to retire from the US supreme court.a The University of Colorado Boulder law professor Paul Campos (a man) also went on CNN to argue that 69-year-old Sotomayor should consider stepping down as a justice in order to give Joe Biden time to fill the seat with another liberal judge should the worst happen. And pundit Nate Silver (you guessed it a| another man) said much the same thing.

We often have as much in common with strangers as our relatives, according to studies a so why do we still love to say our children are like us?

How alike are parents and kids? Quite, right? Surely we all play that game. I, for example, am competitive like my dad (but without a shred of his energy); my sister got my motheras compassion and I got her lust for crispy potato products and staying in bed. My husband and his mum, meanwhile, share a lively debating style (Iam choosing my words carefully); itas why their conversations get so a| animated.

Pots of slime, pig heads, sexy dollsa| we were only looking for a present for my sonas fourth birthday

This week I found myself in a large toy shop in a retail park off Londonas North Circular. We were looking, in a pleasant panic, for a present for my sonas fourth birthday. His birthdays always hit me in an odd way, a bit like those slaps round the face they have in films to stop the woman screaming. Because: he was born at the beginning of the pandemic and, just as his early developmental stages like sitting up or eating solids worked as a marker of time having passed, of us having survived, so do his birthdays. It is four years, this means, since those tight, hot days of the first Covid lockdown, of sanitiser-cracked hands and the brisk hell of home schooling, and every time the anniversary comes round I find myself having to sit down, take a breath.

Anyway, this toy shop, good God. Do you have any ideas what toys are today? I was not prepared. There are the board games, which include your Guess Whoas and so on, but they are overwhelmed by other games called things like, Who Can Poo On Who and Fart School and Diarrhoea of a CEO and I may be misremembering titles slightly yes, but this was very much the gist, boxes with rabid cartoon characters covered in phlegm and instructions that involve, for eg, burping oneas name.

When we mistakenly believe we live in a meritocracy, those in need are left behind

Life is a game of chance. Or thatas what I tell myself when Iam losing at my newest hobby, poker. Of course itas a different story when I win the pot: then I chalk it up to skill. So it was crushing to hear an experienced playeras take when I fessed up to the fact I seem to do worse when Iam trying to play well. aThatas because no strategy is better than a bad strategy: it makes you harder to predict than a very basic game plan.a Thatas me told.

This is partly what it is to be human. We like to attribute our successes to effort and talent, but when we fail itas more comforting to blame bad luck. The more successful someone is, the more marked this tendency becomes and it has a knock-on impact on how we understand the world more generally.

#MeTooas real legacy may not be ending predatorsa impunity so much as highlighting the tenacity of that impunity

Usually, rape isnat reported. When it is reported, it is often not charged. And when it is charged, it rarely leads to a conviction. These facts shape both our cultural understanding of sexual violence and womenas sense of their own embodied lives, clarifying something many of us already know a that while sexual violence is technically illegal and officially abhorred, it is also tolerated in practice, with actual arrests and convictions being so rare that most sexual violence is de facto decriminalized.

Only occasionally does a notable rape conviction come to pass; when it does, its very rarity highlights this dissonance, making plain the gulf between how rape is officially talked about and how it is usually treated. Now, that gulf has come to the fore again, because on Thursday one of the most high-profile rape convictions in American history was overturned.

Americans are recognizing we must do more for Palestine and are signaling dissatisfaction with the party, as they did in 2008

The US is just months away from the 2024 election, and the prospect of a second Trump presidency grows each day as he evades repercussions for the expansive list of indictments heas accrued. With this reality looming, many Democratic party loyalists are panicked about the aleave it blanka movement, in which hundreds of thousands of voters have marked auncommitteda on their primary ballots to protest against US support of Israelas war on Gaza.

Some worry that a protest vote at the ballot box is an automatic vote for Trump. Theyare sure that even during times of mass dissent, harm reduction is the only moral voting strategy. Theyare afraid that this election will mean the end of democracy, or that the re-election of Trump will guarantee unprecedented disharmony.

Everybody knew the backstory, how Arsenal had won their previous Premier League title almost 20 years ago to the day at White Hart Lane. To borrow a line from Mikel Arteta, it was about making their own history here, about doing everything they could to maintain the pressure on Manchester City.

Arsenal achieved their ends, keeping their title hopes alive on the back of a clinical first-half performance which resulted in them taking a 3-0 lead. Nobody predicted the second-half drama at that point, everything going against Tottenham, including a tight offside call from the VAR to disallow what would have been a Micky van de Ven equaliser for 1-1.

Doping case with Chinese swimmers has brought years of pent-up feeling into public domain a and shows no sign of stopping

At its glitzy 25th anniversary gala in Lausanne last month, the World Anti-Doping Agency screened a slick montage highlighting how it had changed sport for the better.

New EPA directive will cut pollution equivalent to the emissions of 328m cars, but industry group decries it as a areckless plana

Coal-fired power plants would be forced to capture smokestack emissions or shut down under a rule issued on Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

New limits on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric plants are the Biden administrationas most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nationas second-largest contributor to the climate crisis.

The disgraced former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized in New York City for a series of tests, his lawyer said.

Weinsteinas hospitalization comes after the New York court of appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction on Thursday.

The hush-money criminal trial receives less prominence in conservative media, and when Trump-friendly networks do turn to the trial, they give viewers an alternative narrative

In one America, he cuts a diminished, humbled figure during coverage that runs from morn till night. aHe seems considerably older and he seems annoyed, resigned, maybe angry,a said broadcaster Rachel Maddow after seeing Donald Trump up close in court. aHe seems like a man who is miserable to be here.a

But in the other America a that of Fox News, far-right podcasts and the Make America Great Again (Maga) base a the trial of the former president over a case involving a hush-money payment to an adult film performer is playing out very differently.

Representative running for US Senate forced to attend dinner in shirtsleeves after formal clothing taken from car parked in city garage

Pro-Palestine student protesters were arrested en masse by New York City police at the prestigious Columbia University, prompting outrage that spread across other college sites.

Guardian US reporter Erum Salam tells Michael Safi that the scene on Columbiaas campus was one of orderly drum circles and organised anti-war demonstrations, not the all-out violent chaos that might have been imagined.

Luca Guadagninoas sizzling, sharply scripted drama, co-starring Josh OaConnor and Mike Faist, is such fun itas almost indecent

Nobody harnesses horniness quite like Luca Guadagnino. With his lavish, luxurious portrait of forbidden lust, the Tilda Swinton-starring I Am Love, Guadagnino embraced one of cinemaas most cliched symbolic sensual devices, filling the frame with come-hither shots of delectable food. But somehow, in his hands, this hackneyed metaphor feels fresh, and the film is a skin-tingling exploration of erotic tension. Then thereas Call Me By Your Name, with its scenes of peach-grappling and languid yearning, in which even the spaces between the characters are charged with longing. And Bones and All, which virtually rebrands cannibalism as a legitimate kink. But even by Guadagninoas highly charged standards, Challengers is an absurdly sexy movie. With its power plays and exquisite cruelty, the shimmering beauty of its three leads and their tantalising interlocking desires, and the slow-motion shots of pooling sweat dripping on to the lens, the film borders on trashy at times, but itas so much fun that itas practically indecent.

At the very centre of the story, and providing much of the muscular energy that drives it, is a never better Zendaya. Deploying every last drop of her silky star quality, she plays Tashi, a former tennis prodigy. When we meet her, Tashi is now coaching her husband, Art (Mike Faist, channelling a thorny combination of brash entitlement and neediness), a multi-grand-slam-winning tennis champion who has hit a confidence-sapping losing streak. And itas more than his career that hangs in the balance. The stress is compounded because Art is well aware that for his wife, losers are a massive turn-off. aI love you,a he says plaintively. aI know,a she purrs, lazily uninterested. Advantage Tashi.

Netflixas No 1 hit show sparks legal and moral debate over identities in true-crime stories

Baby Reindeer was meant to be a close-up, complex a even funny a look at mental health problems and the way sufferers can feed on each otheras different illnesses. According to its millions of fans worldwide, the Netflix drama achieved these tricky goals. But the show, which shot to the streameras No 1 slot, is also now likely to change how fictionalised crime is seen.

The fictionalised series tells an intimately personal story already explored by the showas writer, Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, in a couple of acclaimed one-man fringe theatre shows. It follows a depressed Scottish barman called Donny, played by Gadd, as he becomes enmeshed in the life of a female customer, aMartha Scotta, who is stalking him, sending him more than 41,000 emails, 350 hours of voicemail, 744 tweets, 46 Facebook messages, 106 pages of letters and torpedoing his other relationships.

Itas a huge leap from playing a bent copper in Line of Duty to starring in the musical Guys & Dolls, but if anyone can make a role work, itas actor Daniel Mays

In 2017, the British character actor Daniel Mays was nominated for a Bafta. His one-episode turn in the police procedural Line of Duty, described as aviscerala, aoutstandinga and astomach-clenchingly tensea, had impressed his peers. The nomination was a turning point in his career, but it was also a bust: he didnat win and he was so nervous during the award ceremony that he couldnat enjoy the evening. aYouare sort of anxious that if they say your name youave got to get up in front of the great and good of your entire industry and be coherent.a After the ceremony, a party kicked off in someoneas hotel room. aAdeel Akhtar was there,a Mays recalls. aAnna Friel was in the room.a Feeling a vibe, he left to buy cigarettes and got stuck in a goods lift. By the time he re-emerged, everyone had disappeared. aIt was not the way Iad wanted the evening to pan out.a He tuts. aI may have had something to drink.a

Mays is talking over lunch at an almost empty membersa club in central London, in the wake of being nominated for another award, the Olivier, following a year-long stint in a very popular production of Guys & Dolls, at the Bridge Theatre. The nomination has him reliving concerns about getting up on stage: What does he say? How long should he talk for? That second question was answered at a lunch put on for nominees. aThey said, aListen, if you win, youave got 40 seconds a thatas it. And if you go over 40 seconds, weall play you off with the band.aa He winces at the thought of his waffling being slowly drowned out by music, then relaxes slightly. aI recognise now that just being nominated a I know this is a thing people say a is an amazing achievement. Iam just going to try to enjoy it.a

In the mid-1930s, the novelist, then a controversial war correspondent, encouraged aspiring writers with frankness and humour

He cultivated a hard-drinking macho image, with a taste for big-game hunting and a love of bullfighting, but Ernest Hemingway had a generous and thoughtful side that is revealed in previously unpublished letters.

In the decade after he made his name with A Farewell to Arms, his 1929 war novel, his correspondence shows that he repeatedly offered advice and encouragement a as well as insights into his own craft a to aspiring young novelists.

As Luca Guadagninoas acclaimed tennis film Challengers makes its case for sporting immortality, critic Guy Lodge chooses 20 of the genreas undisputed heavyweights

• Challengers reviewed by Wendy Ide

Analogies of life as sport have been exhausted by every PE teacher in existence. In the movies, however, theyare eternally renewable. Take Challengers, Luca Guadagninoas sleek, sexy, sweat-drenched new film, which hits every metaphor you might expect in its story of three tennis pros locked in a tense love triangle: games are won and lost, points scored, doubles partners swapped, and so on. Shot and paced with the ricocheting energy of a great tennis match, itas a sports movie that, like many a classic of the genre, understands the parallels between sport and cinema as two great crowd-pleasing pastimes.

The sports movie is pretty much as old as movies themselves: for early silent-cinema pioneers at the turn of the 20th century, the movement and momentum of a baseball game or a boxing match made them as dynamic a subject as any for the camera. Charlie Chaplinas very first appearance as the Little Tramp, in the short Kid Auto Races at Venice, cast him as a disruptive spectator at a racing-car derby. Classic templates for the genre emerged quickly: the Oscar-winning 1931 hit The Champ nailed a structure for the underdog sporting weepie that shaped everything from Rocky to The Wrestler, while the 1944 Elizabeth Taylor vehicle National Velvet minted a million further feelgood stories of plucky athletes defying the odds. (Itas far harder to involve audiences in stories of an athlete whoas born a winner.)

The star of Homeland and TA!r on performing In The Cherry Orchard at the Donmar, working with Cate Blanchett, her Green party upbringing, and acting in a second language

Nina Hoss, 48, is a German actor who won international acclaim for her role as Sharon Goodnow in TA!r (2022), playing opposite Cate Blanchett. She was cast as a first violinist/wife in that film partly because of an unforgettable performance as a music teacher in Ina Weisseas movie The Audition (2019), and is familiar to fans of Homeland for her role as German intelligence officer Astrid. She is about to make her London stage debut as Mme Ranevskaya in The Cherry Orchard at Londonas Donmar Warehouse, directed by Benedict Andrews.

How will you set about making Mme Ranevskaya your own?
Iam just starting the third week of rehearsals and making new discoveries every day. How Benedict Andrews works is unusual in that we donat fix anything; he encourages us to keep surprising one another as characters. I love doing this but it is daunting because you have no safety net. Weare together as a group throughout the day and watch and comment, usually positively, on one anotheras ideas. We learn what works, what doesnat. In a more conventional rehearsal, you might note the shift in which a mood changes and try to pin that down in order to keep returning to it. Here, not at all. At this stage, nothing is fixed. But by doing it again and again, weall find a certain rhythm. I know I have to be open to everyone around me.

The best way to understand the city is through its food, and the best guide is a Michelin-star chef who knows where to find succulent doners, crisp calamari and rich taramasalata

Saturday morning, 10am, and Iam sitting at a cafA(c) table on a cobbled street in the BeAiktaA neighbourhood of Istanbul, sipping a glass of ASSay (Turkish tea) and waiting for breakfast. By the cafA(c) entrance, a plump, grey-haired man in a crisp white apron is sharpening a knife, before slicing through what is generally acknowledged to be the largest doner kebab in Turkey. The kebab weighs 100kg, a meaty monster slowly cooking from the outside in. Our guide, Sinan, tells us that Black Sea (Karadeniz) doners from this area are always the best a all of it will be gone by mid-afternoon.

Istanbul is a city that runs on its stomach. It may be steeped in history, but the best way to understand this multi-layered melting pot of east and west, Ottoman and Byzantine, is undoubtedly through its food. Iam lucky enough to be spending a couple of days with Cenk Debensason, recently awarded a Michelin star for his restaurant, Arkestra. The chance to discover the city through his eyes a and taste buds a promises a different version of Istanbul.

As a new movie starring Zendaya puts the tennis on the big screen, the sport that brought us Lacoste and Fred Perry is inspiring todayas style players

With a new film, Challengers, opening this weekend, American actor Zendaya has been on a lot of premiere red carpets and chatshow sofas in recent weeks. And from shoes with tennis-ball heels to a party dress patterned with rackets, the former teen idolas outfits have all been a very chic take on tennis, much like the Luca Guadagnino film itself.

While the rest of us may lack the occasion to wear a plunge-fronted floor-length neon dress decorated with a tennis ball, it will be hard to miss atenniscorea this year as clothes inspired by, or worn for, the sport become the latest trend.

Often misused by politicians, nostalgia is a positive emotion that could do with a makeover

I have always been prone to homesickness. As a child, I didnat really enjoy holidays, I dreaded going away on school trips and I hated sleepovers. At the beginning of 2021, when I first started thinking about the history of nostalgia, and in the midst of the pandemic, I moved across the Atlantic from London to Montreal, Canada, for work. Far from home and away from my family and friends, I felt a kind of grief whenever I thought about the life Iad left behind. There was so much to love about my new life but I felt anxious, worrying constantly about the safety and wellbeing of my parents, siblings and friends. What if, due to the time difference, I missed an urgent call or woke up to terrible news? These fears were, of course, unfounded, and they were also ridiculous, childish even. Grownups a married 30-year-olds with mortgages and full-time jobs a shouldnat miss their mums.

I also tend to be homesick in a weirder, more abstract way a homesick for somewhere Iave never been. Itas a feeling otherwise known as nostalgia. Melding fairytales with Horrible Histories, as a child I spent hours imagining myself transported back in time to invented and romanticised versions of the past. I was an avid reader of Enid Blytonas novels and, despite my homesick inclinations, begged my parents to divert me from my 1990s London primary school to a boarding school in 1950s Cornwall. My pleas went unanswered, so I went to my uniform-free state school every day in pleated skirts and white blouses, desperate to return to a world Iad never inhabited.

The actor and cookbook author, 58, copes with a looming empty nest by inviting everyone around her table

Sunday worries? My Sundays are changing. My kids are now 17 and 21, and weare at a crossroads between me being in control and them being old enough to be in control. Iam in an area of grief. The empty nesting has left me quite sad.

Family time? Sundays have such a weight of expectation of being together as a family. Food is at the centre of my life a we would all break bread together. Now the kids say, aI think youall find Iam going to be asleep until 4pm.a This generation isnat as scared of their parents as we were.

Sundays growing up? My parents were divorced, so it was a game of two halves, travelling between them. Everyone would be drinking. My dad always had a big cigar in his mouth, there was a lot of arguing, a lot of jokes, and there were dogs barking. Everyone seemed to be having an affair in the 70s. In my memory, all the adults were having sex with each other. I was brought up in Surrey. There was nothing else to do other than shag your neighbour.

Sunday grub? Iave written three cookbooks: Iam a feeder. Thereas breakfast, brunch, homemade snacks. Then we have a big roast with homemade pudding. As a child, the house would be full and I liked the chaos. Now, Iall invite any old strangers just to hear that clink of cutlery.

Sunday me-time? Donat knock on the door at 7.30am, because Mumas in the bath. My husband endlessly books massages. Iam like: aYou all right mate? You could just run a bath.a

We can get into the habit of thinking about our sibling with judgment and criticism

The question Since our motheras death, my brother and I have had no contact. He lives more than 100 miles away. Our relationship has been very difficult for over 40 years. When we both had young children, things were better for a time. When our dad died, Mumas health deteriorated and she moved in with me and died 12 years later. During this time, my relationship with my brother was at its worst. Before retirement, we both worked in mental health, but neither of us understand why our family relationship has been so fractured.

There is a family history: our grandfather did not get on with his sister, he and his wife kept secrets, and our dad fell out with his twin! Our childhood was difficult as our father had mental health issues.

People want more seafood than the oceans can sustainably supply, so a German firm aims to plug that gap with cultivated fish a but are consumers ready to buy it?

The redbrick offices, just north of Hamburgas River Elbe and a few floors below Carlsbergas German headquarters, are an unexpectedly low-key setting for a food team gearing up to produce Europeas first tonne of lab-grown fish.

But inside Bluu Seafood, past the slick open-plan coffee and cake bar, the rooms are dominated by gleaming white tiles, people bustling about in lab coats, rows of broad-bottomed beakers and pieces of equipment more at home in a science-fiction thriller. A 50-litre tank (a bioreactor) is filled with what looks like a cherry-coloured energy drink. The liquid, known as agrowth mediuma, is rich with sugars, minerals, amino acids and proteins designed to give the fish cells that are added to it the boost they need to multiply by the million.

Any Rio crime journalist worth their salt knew that being investigated by such a man was extremely bad news.

Founded in 2005 and lauded by Silicon Valley, the Nick Bostromas centre for studying existential risk warned about AI but also gave rise to cultish ideas such as effective altruism

Two weeks ago it was quietly announced that the Future of Humanity Institute, the renowned multidisciplinary research centre in Oxford, no longer had a future. It shut down without warning on 16 April. Initially there was just a brief statement on its website stating it had closed and that its research may continue elsewhere within and outside the university.

The institute, which was dedicated to studying existential risks to humanity, was founded in 2005 by the Swedish-born philosopher Nick Bostrom and quickly made a name for itself beyond academic circles a particularly in Silicon Valley, where a number of tech billionaires sang its praises and provided financial support.

The Unexpected, the latest book by the economics professor, examines the uncomfortable and embarrassing parts of pregnancy that no one talks about

Emily Oster really hopes you donat need to buy her new book.

The arrests of more than a hundred Columbia University students, who were protesting against Israelas actions in Gaza, shed more light on arguably the most energetic pro-Palestinian movement in the US: the one taking places on college campuses around the country.

Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October, in response to terrorist attacks by Hamas, students have launched protests, sit-ins and, most recently, encampments, in a wave they hope will encourage universities to divest from companies which have ties to Israelas military.

The Guardianas picture editors select photographs from around the world

Taken over several years, the British photographeras latest series shows her world narrowing as loss, and lockdown, strike

Lydia Goldblatt describes her book Fugue as a astory about mothering and losing a mother, intimacy and distance, told through photographs and writinga. It is a companion volume, in some ways, to an earlier project, Still Here, about the unsettled, intense landscape of love and loss generated by her fatheras death. aThe cultural silence around these emotions,a Goldblatt writes, by way of introduction, athe difficulty of navigating and giving voice to them, has made me want to suffuse them with colour and light.a

The pictures in Fugue were made over four years, beginning in 2020. The world of some of them is circumscribed by lockdown, life narrowing to the bubble of family. The photographeras young daughters are insistently present in the pictures, climbing and clinging and needing notice. aAbundanta is her word for them. Her mother is already an absence; the words in the book chart not only her loss but also the responsibility of clearing and decanting her London home.

Fugue is published by Gost (APS45) in June. An exhibition of the photographs, with Robert Morat Galerie, will be on display at Photo London 2024, Somerset House, 16-19 May

Audrey Hepburn in Paris, tennis-themed stationery and a pop-up shop celebrating summer

aThe act of hand weaving and dyeing cloth is extremely labour intensive a it can take months to make one piece,a says British artist Ptolemy Mann, who has been creating textile works of extraordinary colour and vibrancy for nearly 30 years. In 2021, after a period of experimenting with painting on paper, she turned her brush to her painstakingly dyed and handwoven cloths a the striking results can be seen in Mannas first monograph, Thread Painting (published 9 May, Hurtwood Press), and a solo show at Cromwell Place, London (15-19 May). aThereas something radical about taking a precious handwoven cloth and applying a wet, loaded paint brush to its surface,a she says, noting that most traditional paintings are done on woven (albeit plain) canvases. aPeople are astounded that I am willing to take the risk. They love the madness of them.a

The photographer documents daily life at Sunda Kelapa harbour in North Jakarta, Indonesia, including the schoolchildren who turn it into their playground

After school, many of the children local to the Sunda Kelapa harbour, in North Jakarta, Indonesia, go down to the water to swim and play. Jelly Febrian enjoys shooting the daily activities there whenever the weather is good. Always prepared for the right moment, he carries his phone with him to capture crews loading their boats, people fishing, and boys and girls jumping from the boats, as pictured.

aIn the maritime villages near here there arenat many fields, so the children mostly play around the pier. Every boat that docks here has a different owner and purpose, they load and unload basic necessities, and every week they sail to other Indonesian islands, such as Papua, Sumatra and Sulawesi.

From a young Paul Kelly and bop dancing in the streets to legends like Ray Charles, music fan and photographer Brian Carr has spent 50 years documenting the notable and not so well-known musos who make up Melbourneas vibrant live music scene. He has now published a book, Music City, from his extensive archive

Mumia Abu-Jamal tells New York City students theyare on the right side of history by deciding anot to be silent and to speak outa

In a powerful and rousing live address to students at the City University of New York (CUNY) on Friday night, the incarcerated Black political activist Mumia Abu-Jamal praised the pro-Palestinian movement growing at US colleges as being on the right side of history.

aIt is a wonderful thing that you have decided not to be silent and decided to speak out against the repression that you see with your own eyes,a Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther, said while calling from Pennsylvaniaas Mahanoy state prison. aYou are part of something massive, and you are part of something that is on the right side of history.

Pursuit of anon-stop executionsa causing psychological distress to corrections staff as states urged to widen gap between executions

The relentless pursuit of anon-stop executionsa by a rump of US death penalty states is exposing prison staff to extreme levels of psychological and physical stress, according to traumatized corrections officers who are appealing for help.

Though capital punishment is generally on the wane in America, with only five states carrying out executions last year, those states that remain active are showing a renewed determination. In some states, the pace of judicial killings is now so intense that prison guards are kept in an almost permanent state of readiness, with mock executions staged on a rolling basis.

US secretary of state to discuss avoiding regional conflict amid fears about Israeli ground invasion of Rafah

• Middle East crisis a live updates

The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, will travel to Saudi Arabia to try to restart fraught ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel and discuss efforts to prevent spiralling regional conflict, while other senior US officials claimed Israel was willing to listen to their fears about a ground invasion of Gazaas southernmost city.

A delegation from Hamas, expected in Cairo in parallel to Blinkenas visit, said they would provide a response to an Israeli proposal focused on an initial hostage release.

Governor issues state of emergency for 12 counties as authorities confirm a four-month-old baby was among the dead in Holdenville

At least three people, including a baby, were killed after a series of tornadoes struck Oklahoma on Saturday, amid a weekend of extreme weather that left dozens injured and a trail of destruction across the midwest.

Local authorities confirmed that a four-month-old infant was among the two people dead in Holdenville a one of the hardest hit towns in Oklahoma, located 80 miles south-east of Oklahoma City a where about 20 tornadoes hit late Saturday, leveling buildings and ripping off roofs. The victims have not been named, but at least four others were injured as the tornado left a path of devastation through the town of around 6,000 people.

Public disapproval mounts for South Dakota governor and vice-presidential hopeful whose book contains gruesome account

Kristi Noem, the South Dakota governor and Republican vice-presidential hopeful, saw polling numbers plummet after the Guardian revealed that she writes in a new book about the day she shot dead a hunting dog and an un-castrated goat, a revelation that ignited a political storm.

Announcing what it called its aNoem Puppy Murder Poll Findingsa, New River Strategies, a Democratic firm, said 81% of Americans disapproved of Noemas decision to shoot Cricket, a 14-month-old wire-haired pointer who Noem says ruined a pheasant hunt and killed a neighbouras chickens, thereby earning a trip to a gravel pit to die.

Senate minority leader says he is anot advocating anything at this levela and that issue is too divisive among lawmakers for consensus

Asked whether he supports a federal abortion ban, US Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that he is anot advocating anything at this levela.

The Republican, during remarks in a new interview published by NBCas Meet the Press, stopped short of saying whether or not he supported a 15-week federal ban on abortion with exceptions, but he instead portrayed the issue as aa practical mattera that was too divisive among federal lawmakers to result in a consensus among them.

US president made fun of Republican frontrunneras legal woes while critics of his handling of Gaza war protested outside

Joe Biden has shown no mercy to Donald Trump with a series of barbed jokes about his election rival, telling a gathering of Washingtonas political and media elites: aIam a grown man running against a six-year-old.a

The White House Correspondentsa Association (WHCA) dinner on Saturday night provided the ideal platform for Biden to continue a recent run of taking the fight to Trump with more aggressive rhetoric, cutting humour and personal insults.

With abortion on the line, a Black conservative provocateur is pitted against the stateas center-left Jewish attorney general

In front of a conservative talkshow host two weeks ago, Mark Robinson, North Carolinaas Republican candidate for governor, was grousing a bit about being snubbed by the stateas Democratic governor on a matter of race.

aHe talks a lot about diversity, equity and inclusion, but apparently the line for diversity, equity and inclusion stops at the Republican party,a Robinson told Lockwood Phillips. aRoy Cooper has had several chances to congratulate me on the accomplishment of being the first Black lieutenant governor, and he has never taken it.a

Ukrainian officials say situation avery difficulta but anot catastrophica amid loss of two villages and fighting in Ocheretyne

Russia has consolidated recent battlefield gains in the east of Ukraine, and is attempting to break through Ukrainian defensive lines before a long-awaited package of US military assistance arrives at the frontline.

On Sunday Russian troops advanced near the city of Avdiivka. They seized two villages and expanded a narrow corridor around the rural settlement of Ocheretyne, which the Russians entered a week ago. Ukrainian security officials described the situation in the Donbas region where Russia is attacking on multiple fronts as avery difficulta. It was anot critical or catastrophica, they added.

aTrumpas rant against me is a barely coherent,a says independent White House hopeful and challenges ex-president to a debate

Robert F Kennedy Jr has dismissed Donald Trump as aunhingeda after a social media tirade from the former Republican president accused the independent White House hopeful of being a aDemocrat planta and awasted protest votea.

aWhen frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,a Kennedy wrote Saturday on X in a post that doubled as a debate challenge. aPresident Trumpas rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims that should best be resolved in the American tradition of presidential debate.a

Star of Lupin says notions of justice, equality and fraternity have been shaken along with his optimism

The French actor Omar Sy, the star of the hit Netflix series Lupin, has said France must move away from the individualism that is fragmenting society and rebuild a sense of the collective if it is to hold back the far right.

In a series of media interviews to promote a new book about his life, Sy said the notions of justice, equality and fraternity had been shaken, and it was hard to be a black person in France.

Researchers are calling for the retraction of misleading anti-abortion studies that could influence judges in critical cases

The retraction of three peer-reviewed articles prominently cited in court cases on the so-called abortion pill a mifepristone a has put a group of papers by anti-abortion researchers in the scientific limelight.

Seventeen sexual and reproductive health researchers are calling for four peer-reviewed studies by anti-abortion researchers to be retracted or amended. The papers, critics contend, are afatally flaweda and muddy the scientific consensus for courts and lawmakers who lack the scientific training to understand their methodological flaws.

Trumpas former fixer to appear as prosecution witness, while Avenatti, serving prison sentence, willing to testify for defense

As Donald Trumpas hush-money trial enters its second week, jurors will be asked to focus on the testimony of his former Mr Fixit a the disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen.

Cohen, who served as Trumpas personal attorney for 12 years until 2018, is acting as a witness for the New York district attorney, Alvin Bragg. The case could turn on Cohenas testimony about payments sought by two women, the porn star Stormy Daniels and the Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, and how those payments were made and allegedly disguised, as prosecutors contend, in violation of accounting and political campaign laws.

Speakeras crude interventions on campus have forced many to question if his motives on Ukraine were quite so heroic

Democrat Nancy Pelosi cited his aintegritya and described him as acourageousa. Republican Michael McCaul called him a aprofile in couragea. CNN hailed him as aan unlikely Churchilla.

Mike Johnson, speaker of the House of Representatives, began the week showered in plaudits for leading the House in approving $95bn in urgently needed wartime aid for Ukraine, Israel and other US allies.

The effectiveness of Tinder and Hinge is hard to judge without access to their data. But now researchers are creating a free alternative with full transparency

A class-action lawsuit filed in a US federal court last Valentineas Day accuses Match Group a the owners of Tinder, Hinge and OkCupid dating apps, among others a of using a apredatory business modela and of doing everything in its power to keep users hooked, in flagrant opposition to Hingeas claim that it is adesigned to be deleteda.

The lawsuit crystallised an ocean of dissatisfaction with the apps, and stimulated a new round of debate over their potential to harm mental health, but for scientists who study romantic relationships it sidestepped the central issue: do they work? Does using the apps increase your chances of finding your soulmate, or not? The answer is, nobody knows.

Having a baby led to an unexpected disease and then surgery that altered Lauren Benstedas body for ever. She talks about the pain she felt in being separated from her newborn, and her journey to learn to accept her new life

aWeare going to have to disconnect you,a says the man at my bedside. Since I was hospitalised a fortnight ago, this man and his team have been trying to save my colon, a 5ft-long tangle of ulcers and inflammation. The speed and scale of my colonas fury has fascinated doctors. I imagine them in their morning meetings, poring over my colonoscopy with the mystification usually reserved for the Voynich manuscript. But time is up. Unless they adisconnecta me, my bowel will perforate and I will die.

Disconnection, explains the doctor, involves whipping the whole colon out a here he mimes pulling a rabbit from a hat a and diverting my digestion through a hole in my abdomen called a stoma. He sketches my new anatomy on a piece of paper, quick as a high-street caricaturist. He cannot imagine what it is like to receive this news a to hear your body will change for ever and with it your whole life too a just as I cannot imagine what it is to break it. I want to grab his hand, ask him how. How does a body give birth to a healthy baby and then burst into flames?

Donat be deluded by media hullabaloo a but smart employers can get creative with schedules to attract and retain talent

According to CNN a4-day workweeks may be around the corner. A third of Americaas companies are exploring them.a CNBC says: aThis US company tested a 4-day workweek a and says it made workers happier and more productive.a Newsweek tells us: aMillennials Are Ready For a Four-Day Week.a So why do all of my clients say nope?

According to an advocacy organization, more than 300 companies have four-day workweeks and, per the reports above, many others are apparently atestinga the concept. I admit that Iave spoken to none of these companies but Iam not sure I have to. I spend my life working with small and mid-sized businesses and I know a PR stunt when I see one. Hey, good for them. In these times of tight labor - itas a great marketing campaign. aPeople! Come work for us except you donat have to do as much work and weall still pay you the same!a Now thatas a company I want to work for.

Life at itas essence is about time and by 2050, nearly 3.7 million people are expected to live up to 100. What can we do to get the most out of our bonus years?

Loneliness. Ageism. Physical limitations, cognitive decline and, increasingly, elder poverty.

The downsides of living to 100 and beyond are numerous. But so are the upsides. Life at its essence is about time a time to live, time to laugh, time to love a and many of those who have achieved a triple-digit age are living their best lives as centenarians.

A new approach aims to restore fish levels in the Yukon River but some feel it unfairly targets traditional practices while failing to tackle huge losses to industrial fishing in the ocean

Earlier this month Alaska officials announced a new plan they say could revive the Yukon Riveras struggling salmon population. The 2,000-mile waterway that runs from Canadaas Yukon Territory to the Bering Sea has seen sharp declines in its Chinook, or king salmon, in recent years.

The new strategy aims to restore the number of fish that reach their northern spawning areas near the Canadian border to 71,000, up from about 15,000 that reached the Canadian border in 2023, by suspending commercial, sport, domestic and personal use fisheries in the Yukon River until 2030. Previously, fishing closures were revisited each year.

The socialite and collector prioritised art over family and claimed she had 1,000 lovers. But a new UK exhibition tells another tale a that of the five years she spent in Hampshire and Sussex leading a relatively ordinary life, as her granddaughter explains

Beside the Grand Canal, on a wall of the palazzo she called home for 30 years, a portrait of Peggy Guggenheim fizzes with her larger-than-life personality, a personality that once reverberated between these walls, and across Venice. In the painting, Peggy wears a pair of her signature outsize sunglasses, and clutches three of her beloved Lhasa Apsos terriers. Today, Peggyas palazzo is a museum housing the art collection she amassed from the 1930s to the 1970s, featuring work by everyone from Picasso to Pollock, Ernst to Kandinsky, Duchamp to Tanguy, all of whom she knew and many of whom she slept with. The portrait hangs outside the office of the museumas director, who happens also to be Peggyas fiercest critic. She is Karole Vail, daughter of Peggyas son, Sindbad.

Vail has been director of the Venice Guggenheim (there are related Guggenheim museums in New York and Bilbao) since 2017, and itas fair to say that her take on her grandmother is mired in the belief that, while Peggy was a superlative art collector, she left much to be desired as a mother and grandmother. aShe was obsessed with the men in her life: she never focused on her children in the way they needed,a says Vail.

As many as 28% of young adults in the UK do not drink. Here, three of them explain why their relationship with alcohol has changed

A recent World Health Organization (WHO) study found Great Britain has the worst rate of child alcohol consumption in the world a with more than half of children in England, Scotland and Wales having drunk alcohol by the age of 13.

Yet this is coupled with a growing move towards sobriety among young people. Alcohol education charity Drinkaware found that, as of 2021, young adults were the most likely to not drink alcohol, at 28%, whereas older adults were the least likely, at 15%.

In a new book, Robert KD Colby of the University of Mississippi shows how the Confederacy remained committed to slavery

While the civil war is associated with the end of slavery in the US, the so-called peculiar institution survived throughout much of the Confederacy right to the end of the conflict. Thatas the thought-provoking narrative of a comprehensive new book by Robert KD Colby, a history professor at the University of Mississippi.

aMany Confederates saw slavery as indelibly bound up with their bid for independence, and used the slave trade to try to build a world around an independent slaveholding republic,a Colby says.

Sexual violence within the queer community is rarely visible in the media a we need to see our stories on the small screen

• Jeffrey Ingold was a LGBTQ+ consultant on Baby Reindeer

Richard Gaddas critically acclaimed Netflix series Baby Reindeer has proved wildly popular since its release two weeks ago.Itas a harrowing, semi-autobiographical tale about a young bisexual man who is stalked by an older woman. Much of the discussion around the show has focused on aMarthaa, the fictional portrayal of Gaddas real-life stalker. But Baby Reindeer is also a story of how trauma can shape the present, of sexual violence and its far-reaching impact, and sexuality.

For two years, I worked on Baby Reindeer as the showas LGBTQ+ consultant, reviewing scripts to feed back on how LGBTQ+ people and issues are represented, providing training on creating an inclusive set for cast and crew, and ultimately, acting as a resource to answer questions or concerns from anyone working on the show.

From Everest to Machu Picchu, we canat get enough of those amust-seea places. Itas time to show some restraint

Climbing Everest used to be an even more dangerous pursuit than it is today, requiring huge bravery, endurance and skill. Even then the mountain could kill. A century ago, it claimed the lives of two of Britainas finest climbers, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.

The worldas highest mountain eventually succumbed to human challenge when, almost three decades later, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay carried the flags of Britain, the UN, and Nepal to its summit on 29 May 1953. Sporadic trips involving handfuls of explorers continued over succeeding years.

The liberal justice has been called the supreme courtas conscience but we canat afford a repeat of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A month ago Josh Barro (a man) at the Atlantic wrote a piece headlined Sonia Sotomayor Should Retire Now. Around the same time the Guardianas Mehdi Hasan (a man) similarly opined that afor the sake of all of us, Sonia Sotomayor needs to retire from the US supreme court.a The University of Colorado Boulder law professor Paul Campos (a man) also went on CNN to argue that 69-year-old Sotomayor should consider stepping down as a justice in order to give Joe Biden time to fill the seat with another liberal judge should the worst happen. And pundit Nate Silver (you guessed it a| another man) said much the same thing.

We often have as much in common with strangers as our relatives, according to studies a so why do we still love to say our children are like us?

How alike are parents and kids? Quite, right? Surely we all play that game. I, for example, am competitive like my dad (but without a shred of his energy); my sister got my motheras compassion and I got her lust for crispy potato products and staying in bed. My husband and his mum, meanwhile, share a lively debating style (Iam choosing my words carefully); itas why their conversations get so a| animated.

Itas an assumption that transcends geography: there are athe apple doesnat fall far from the treea equivalents worldwide a mostly tree-related, although I like the Portuguese aa fishas child knows how to swima.

Pots of slime, pig heads, sexy dollsa| we were only looking for a present for my sonas fourth birthday

This week I found myself in a large toy shop in a retail park off Londonas North Circular. We were looking, in a pleasant panic, for a present for my sonas fourth birthday. His birthdays always hit me in an odd way, a bit like those slaps round the face they have in films to stop the woman screaming. Because: he was born at the beginning of the pandemic and, just as his early developmental stages like sitting up or eating solids worked as a marker of time having passed, of us having survived, so do his birthdays. It is four years, this means, since those tight, hot days of the first Covid lockdown, of sanitiser-cracked hands and the brisk hell of home schooling, and every time the anniversary comes round I find myself having to sit down, take a breath.

Anyway, this toy shop, good God. Do you have any ideas what toys are today? I was not prepared. There are the board games, which include your Guess Whoas and so on, but they are overwhelmed by other games called things like, Who Can Poo On Who and Fart School and Diarrhoea of a CEO and I may be misremembering titles slightly yes, but this was very much the gist, boxes with rabid cartoon characters covered in phlegm and instructions that involve, for eg, burping oneas name.

When we mistakenly believe we live in a meritocracy, those in need are left behind

Life is a game of chance. Or thatas what I tell myself when Iam losing at my newest hobby, poker. Of course itas a different story when I win the pot: then I chalk it up to skill. So it was crushing to hear an experienced playeras take when I fessed up to the fact I seem to do worse when Iam trying to play well. aThatas because no strategy is better than a bad strategy: it makes you harder to predict than a very basic game plan.a Thatas me told.

This is partly what it is to be human. We like to attribute our successes to effort and talent, but when we fail itas more comforting to blame bad luck. The more successful someone is, the more marked this tendency becomes and it has a knock-on impact on how we understand the world more generally.

#MeTooas real legacy may not be ending predatorsa impunity so much as highlighting the tenacity of that impunity

Usually, rape isnat reported. When it is reported, it is often not charged. And when it is charged, it rarely leads to a conviction. These facts shape both our cultural understanding of sexual violence and womenas sense of their own embodied lives, clarifying something many of us already know a that while sexual violence is technically illegal and officially abhorred, it is also tolerated in practice, with actual arrests and convictions being so rare that most sexual violence is de facto decriminalized.

Only occasionally does a notable rape conviction come to pass; when it does, its very rarity highlights this dissonance, making plain the gulf between how rape is officially talked about and how it is usually treated. Now, that gulf has come to the fore again, because on Thursday one of the most high-profile rape convictions in American history was overturned.

Americans are recognizing we must do more for Palestine and are signaling dissatisfaction with the party, as they did in 2008

The US is just months away from the 2024 election, and the prospect of a second Trump presidency grows each day as he evades repercussions for the expansive list of indictments heas accrued. With this reality looming, many Democratic party loyalists are panicked about the aleave it blanka movement, in which hundreds of thousands of voters have marked auncommitteda on their primary ballots to protest against US support of Israelas war on Gaza.

Some worry that a protest vote at the ballot box is an automatic vote for Trump. Theyare sure that even during times of mass dissent, harm reduction is the only moral voting strategy. Theyare afraid that this election will mean the end of democracy, or that the re-election of Trump will guarantee unprecedented disharmony.

Manchester City knew they were coming into a storm but they are the masters of navigating hostile environments.

Pep Guardiolaas side were nowhere near their best but came up with moments of quality when it mattered to silence Nottingham Forest and keep their title charge on track. Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland had Kevin De Bruyne to thank for two fantastic assists as City had to bide their time to defeat a disciplined Forest fighting for Premier League survival.

• Bills claim offensive lineman had fastest 40-yard dash in 10 years

Former rugby union player Travis Clayton has been selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 2024 NFL draft. The Englishmanas selection sees him join former Wales star Louis Rees-Zammit in American football.

Clayton, 23, was selected with the 221st overall pick in the seventh round despite having never played a game in the sport.

Everybody knew the backstory, how Arsenal had won their previous Premier League title almost 20 years ago to the day at White Hart Lane. To borrow a line from Mikel Arteta, it was about making their own history here, about doing everything they could to maintain the pressure on Manchester City.

Arsenal achieved their ends, keeping their title hopes alive on the back of a clinical first-half performance which resulted in them taking a 3-0 lead. Nobody predicted the second-half drama at that point, everything going against Tottenham, including a tight offside call from the VAR to disallow what would have been a Micky van de Ven equaliser for 1-1.

Doping case with Chinese swimmers has brought years of pent-up feeling into public domain a and shows no sign of stopping

At its glitzy 25th anniversary gala in Lausanne last month, the World Anti-Doping Agency screened a slick montage highlighting how it had changed sport for the better. There were images of Muhammad Ali defying Parkinsonas to light the Olympic flame and PelA(c) lifting the World Cup, before a history lesson a and a promise. aToday Wada is a more representative, accountable and transparent organisation,a explained its director general, Olivier Niggli, athat truly has athletes at the heart of everything we do.a

Not everyone in the room was buying it a one source felt it was too PR-focused, while another raised their eyebrows when Thomas Bach a the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a and the former Wada president Sir Craig Reedie picked up awards. However, frustrations with Wada were largely limited to corridor conversations. It turned out to be the relative calm before the thermonuclear storm.

Warnings of dangerous temperatures across parts of Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh and India as hottest months of the year are made worse by El NiA+-o

Millions of people across South and Southeast Asia are facing sweltering temperatures, with unusually hot weather forcing schools to close and threatening public health.

Thousands of schools across the Philippines, including in the capital region Metro Manila, have suspended in-person classes. Half of the countryas 82 provinces are experiencing drought, and nearly 31 others are facing dry spells or dry conditions, according to the UN, which has called for greater support to help the country prepare for similar weather events in the future. The countryas upcoming harvest will probably be below average, the UN said.

New EPA directive will cut pollution equivalent to the emissions of 328m cars, but industry group decries it as a areckless plana

Coal-fired power plants would be forced to capture smokestack emissions or shut down under a rule issued on Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

New limits on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric plants are the Biden administrationas most ambitious effort yet to roll back planet-warming pollution from the power sector, the nationas second-largest contributor to the climate crisis. The rules are a key part of Joe Bidenas pledge to eliminate carbon pollution from the electricity sector by 2035 and economy-wide by 2050.

A UN-led panel of nearly 100 countries is to draw up new guidelines to prevent some of the environmental damage and human rights abuses associated with mining for acritical mineralsa.

Mining for some of the key raw materials used in low-carbon technology, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, has been associated with human rights abuses, child labour and violence, as well as grave environmental damage.

Plan to break up Noaa claims its research is aclimate alarmisma and calls for commercializing forecasts, weakening forecasts

Climate experts fear Donald Trump will follow a blueprint created by his allies to gut the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), disbanding its work on climate science and tailoring its operations to business interests.

Joe Bidenas presidency has increased the profile of the science-based federal agency but its future has been put in doubt if Trump wins a second term and at a time when climate impacts continue to worsen.

Ex-movie mogul is at New York City department of correction for tests, his lawyer said, and will be transferred to Rikers Island

The disgraced former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized in New York City for a series of tests, his lawyer said.

Weinsteinas hospitalization comes after the New York court of appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction on Thursday.

Conservative pundits have condemned the South Dakota governor and possible Trump running mate Kristi Noem, amid widespread horror over her admission in a new book that she killed both an auntrainablea dog and an unruly goat during a single day in hunting season.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a Trump White House staffer turned critic, said: aIam a dog lover and I am honestly horrified by the Kristi Noem excerpt. I wish I hadnat even read it. A 14-month-old dog is still a puppy and can be trained. A large part of bad behaviour in dogs is not having proper training from humans.

The hush-money criminal trial receives less prominence in conservative media, and when Trump-friendly networks do turn to the trial, they give viewers an alternative narrative

In one America, he cuts a diminished, humbled figure during coverage that runs from morn till night. aHe seems considerably older and he seems annoyed, resigned, maybe angry,a said broadcaster Rachel Maddow after seeing Donald Trump up close in court. aHe seems like a man who is miserable to be here.a

But in the other America a that of Fox News, far-right podcasts and the Make America Great Again (Maga) base a the trial of the former president over a case involving a hush-money payment to an adult film performer is playing out very differently.

Organising is a kind of alchemy: it turns alienation into connection, despair into dedication, and oppression into strength. By Astra Taylor and Leah Hunt-Hendrix

The annual White House Correspondentsa Association Dinner returns this Saturday for a night of comedy aroastinga a where the great and the good are ruthlessly mocked in celebration of the freedom of the press.

In recent years, however, the night has taken on a different tone, with the atmosphere of warm self-deprecation and bipartisan bonhomie replaced by something more scathing and serious.

Pro-Palestine student protesters were arrested en masse by New York City police at the prestigious Columbia University, prompting outrage that spread across other college sites.

Guardian US reporter Erum Salam tells Michael Safi that the scene on Columbiaas campus was one of orderly drum circles and organised anti-war demonstrations, not the all-out violent chaos that might have been imagined.

Luca Guadagninoas sizzling, sharply scripted drama, co-starring Josh OaConnor and Mike Faist, is such fun itas almost indecent

Nobody harnesses horniness quite like Luca Guadagnino. With his lavish, luxurious portrait of forbidden lust, the Tilda Swinton-starring I Am Love, Guadagnino embraced one of cinemaas most cliched symbolic sensual devices, filling the frame with come-hither shots of delectable food. But somehow, in his hands, this hackneyed metaphor feels fresh, and the film is a skin-tingling exploration of erotic tension. Then thereas Call Me By Your Name, with its scenes of peach-grappling and languid yearning, in which even the spaces between the characters are charged with longing. And Bones and All, which virtually rebrands cannibalism as a legitimate kink. But even by Guadagninoas highly charged standards, Challengers is an absurdly sexy movie. With its power plays and exquisite cruelty, the shimmering beauty of its three leads and their tantalising interlocking desires, and the slow-motion shots of pooling sweat dripping on to the lens, the film borders on trashy at times, but itas so much fun that itas practically indecent.

At the very centre of the story, and providing much of the muscular energy that drives it, is a never better Zendaya. Deploying every last drop of her silky star quality, she plays Tashi, a former tennis prodigy. When we meet her, Tashi is now coaching her husband, Art (Mike Faist, channelling a thorny combination of brash entitlement and neediness), a multi-grand-slam-winning tennis champion who has hit a confidence-sapping losing streak. And itas more than his career that hangs in the balance. The stress is compounded because Art is well aware that for his wife, losers are a massive turn-off. aI love you,a he says plaintively. aI know,a she purrs, lazily uninterested. Advantage Tashi.

Netflixas No 1 hit show sparks legal and moral debate over identities in true-crime stories

Baby Reindeer was meant to be a close-up, complex a even funny a look at mental health problems and the way sufferers can feed on each otheras different illnesses. According to its millions of fans worldwide, the Netflix drama achieved these tricky goals. But the show, which shot to the streameras No 1 slot, is also now likely to change how fictionalised crime is seen.

The fictionalised series tells an intimately personal story already explored by the showas writer, Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, in a couple of acclaimed one-man fringe theatre shows. It follows a depressed Scottish barman called Donny, played by Gadd, as he becomes enmeshed in the life of a female customer, aMartha Scotta, who is stalking him, sending him more than 41,000 emails, 350 hours of voicemail, 744 tweets, 46 Facebook messages, 106 pages of letters and torpedoing his other relationships.

Itas a huge leap from playing a bent copper in Line of Duty to starring in the musical Guys & Dolls, but if anyone can make a role work, itas actor Daniel Mays

In 2017, the British character actor Daniel Mays was nominated for a Bafta. His one-episode turn in the police procedural Line of Duty, described as aviscerala, aoutstandinga and astomach-clenchingly tensea, had impressed his peers. The nomination was a turning point in his career, but it was also a bust: he didnat win and he was so nervous during the award ceremony that he couldnat enjoy the evening. aYouare sort of anxious that if they say your name youave got to get up in front of the great and good of your entire industry and be coherent.a After the ceremony, a party kicked off in someoneas hotel room. aAdeel Akhtar was there,a Mays recalls. aAnna Friel was in the room.a Feeling a vibe, he left to buy cigarettes and got stuck in a goods lift. By the time he re-emerged, everyone had disappeared. aIt was not the way Iad wanted the evening to pan out.a He tuts. aI may have had something to drink.a

Mays is talking over lunch at an almost empty membersa club in central London, in the wake of being nominated for another award, the Olivier, following a year-long stint in a very popular production of Guys & Dolls, at the Bridge Theatre. The nomination has him reliving concerns about getting up on stage: What does he say? How long should he talk for? That second question was answered at a lunch put on for nominees. aThey said, aListen, if you win, youave got 40 seconds a thatas it. And if you go over 40 seconds, weall play you off with the band.aa He winces at the thought of his waffling being slowly drowned out by music, then relaxes slightly. aI recognise now that just being nominated a I know this is a thing people say a is an amazing achievement. Iam just going to try to enjoy it.a

In the mid-1930s, the novelist, then a controversial war correspondent, encouraged aspiring writers with frankness and humour

He cultivated a hard-drinking macho image, with a taste for big-game hunting and a love of bullfighting, but Ernest Hemingway had a generous and thoughtful side that is revealed in previously unpublished letters.

In the decade after he made his name with A Farewell to Arms, his 1929 war novel, his correspondence shows that he repeatedly offered advice and encouragement a as well as insights into his own craft a to aspiring young novelists.

As Luca Guadagninoas acclaimed tennis film Challengers makes its case for sporting immortality, critic Guy Lodge chooses 20 of the genreas undisputed heavyweights

• Challengers reviewed by Wendy Ide

Analogies of life as sport have been exhausted by every PE teacher in existence. In the movies, however, theyare eternally renewable. Take Challengers, Luca Guadagninoas sleek, sexy, sweat-drenched new film, which hits every metaphor you might expect in its story of three tennis pros locked in a tense love triangle: games are won and lost, points scored, doubles partners swapped, and so on. Shot and paced with the ricocheting energy of a great tennis match, itas a sports movie that, like many a classic of the genre, understands the parallels between sport and cinema as two great crowd-pleasing pastimes.

The sports movie is pretty much as old as movies themselves: for early silent-cinema pioneers at the turn of the 20th century, the movement and momentum of a baseball game or a boxing match made them as dynamic a subject as any for the camera. Charlie Chaplinas very first appearance as the Little Tramp, in the short Kid Auto Races at Venice, cast him as a disruptive spectator at a racing-car derby. Classic templates for the genre emerged quickly: the Oscar-winning 1931 hit The Champ nailed a structure for the underdog sporting weepie that shaped everything from Rocky to The Wrestler, while the 1944 Elizabeth Taylor vehicle National Velvet minted a million further feelgood stories of plucky athletes defying the odds. (Itas far harder to involve audiences in stories of an athlete whoas born a winner.)

The star of Homeland and TA!r on performing In The Cherry Orchard at the Donmar, working with Cate Blanchett, her Green party upbringing, and acting in a second language

Nina Hoss, 48, is a German actor who won international acclaim for her role as Sharon Goodnow in TA!r (2022), playing opposite Cate Blanchett. She was cast as a first violinist/wife in that film partly because of an unforgettable performance as a music teacher in Ina Weisseas movie The Audition (2019), and is familiar to fans of Homeland for her role as German intelligence officer Astrid. She is about to make her London stage debut as Mme Ranevskaya in The Cherry Orchard at Londonas Donmar Warehouse, directed by Benedict Andrews.

How will you set about making Mme Ranevskaya your own?
Iam just starting the third week of rehearsals and making new discoveries every day. How Benedict Andrews works is unusual in that we donat fix anything; he encourages us to keep surprising one another as characters. I love doing this but it is daunting because you have no safety net. Weare together as a group throughout the day and watch and comment, usually positively, on one anotheras ideas. We learn what works, what doesnat. In a more conventional rehearsal, you might note the shift in which a mood changes and try to pin that down in order to keep returning to it. Here, not at all. At this stage, nothing is fixed. But by doing it again and again, weall find a certain rhythm. I know I have to be open to everyone around me.

The best way to understand the city is through its food, and the best guide is a Michelin-star chef who knows where to find succulent doners, crisp calamari and rich taramasalata

Saturday morning, 10am, and Iam sitting at a cafA(c) table on a cobbled street in the BeAiktaA neighbourhood of Istanbul, sipping a glass of ASSay (Turkish tea) and waiting for breakfast. By the cafA(c) entrance, a plump, grey-haired man in a crisp white apron is sharpening a knife, before slicing through what is generally acknowledged to be the largest doner kebab in Turkey. The kebab weighs 100kg, a meaty monster slowly cooking from the outside in. Our guide, Sinan, tells us that Black Sea (Karadeniz) doners from this area are always the best a all of it will be gone by mid-afternoon.

Istanbul is a city that runs on its stomach. It may be steeped in history, but the best way to understand this multi-layered melting pot of east and west, Ottoman and Byzantine, is undoubtedly through its food. Iam lucky enough to be spending a couple of days with Cenk Debensason, recently awarded a Michelin star for his restaurant, Arkestra. The chance to discover the city through his eyes a and taste buds a promises a different version of Istanbul.

As a new movie starring Zendaya puts the tennis on the big screen, the sport that brought us Lacoste and Fred Perry is inspiring todayas style players

With a new film, Challengers, opening this weekend, American actor Zendaya has been on a lot of premiere red carpets and chatshow sofas in recent weeks. And from shoes with tennis-ball heels to a party dress patterned with rackets, the former teen idolas outfits have all been a very chic take on tennis, much like the Luca Guadagnino film itself.

While the rest of us may lack the occasion to wear a plunge-fronted floor-length neon dress decorated with a tennis ball, it will be hard to miss atenniscorea this year as clothes inspired by, or worn for, the sport become the latest trend.

Often misused by politicians, nostalgia is a positive emotion that could do with a makeover

I have always been prone to homesickness. As a child, I didnat really enjoy holidays, I dreaded going away on school trips and I hated sleepovers. At the beginning of 2021, when I first started thinking about the history of nostalgia, and in the midst of the pandemic, I moved across the Atlantic from London to Montreal, Canada, for work. Far from home and away from my family and friends, I felt a kind of grief whenever I thought about the life Iad left behind. There was so much to love about my new life but I felt anxious, worrying constantly about the safety and wellbeing of my parents, siblings and friends. What if, due to the time difference, I missed an urgent call or woke up to terrible news? These fears were, of course, unfounded, and they were also ridiculous, childish even. Grownups a married 30-year-olds with mortgages and full-time jobs a shouldnat miss their mums.

I also tend to be homesick in a weirder, more abstract way a homesick for somewhere Iave never been. Itas a feeling otherwise known as nostalgia. Melding fairytales with Horrible Histories, as a child I spent hours imagining myself transported back in time to invented and romanticised versions of the past. I was an avid reader of Enid Blytonas novels and, despite my homesick inclinations, begged my parents to divert me from my 1990s London primary school to a boarding school in 1950s Cornwall. My pleas went unanswered, so I went to my uniform-free state school every day in pleated skirts and white blouses, desperate to return to a world Iad never inhabited.

The actor and cookbook author, 58, copes with a looming empty nest by inviting everyone around her table

Sunday worries? My Sundays are changing. My kids are now 17 and 21, and weare at a crossroads between me being in control and them being old enough to be in control. Iam in an area of grief. The empty nesting has left me quite sad.

Family time? Sundays have such a weight of expectation of being together as a family. Food is at the centre of my life a we would all break bread together. Now the kids say, aI think youall find Iam going to be asleep until 4pm.a This generation isnat as scared of their parents as we were.

Sundays growing up? My parents were divorced, so it was a game of two halves, travelling between them. Everyone would be drinking. My dad always had a big cigar in his mouth, there was a lot of arguing, a lot of jokes, and there were dogs barking. Everyone seemed to be having an affair in the 70s. In my memory, all the adults were having sex with each other. I was brought up in Surrey. There was nothing else to do other than shag your neighbour.

Sunday grub? Iave written three cookbooks: Iam a feeder. Thereas breakfast, brunch, homemade snacks. Then we have a big roast with homemade pudding. As a child, the house would be full and I liked the chaos. Now, Iall invite any old strangers just to hear that clink of cutlery.

Sunday me-time? Donat knock on the door at 7.30am, because Mumas in the bath. My husband endlessly books massages. Iam like: aYou all right mate? You could just run a bath.a

We can get into the habit of thinking about our sibling with judgment and criticism

The question Since our motheras death, my brother and I have had no contact. He lives more than 100 miles away. Our relationship has been very difficult for over 40 years. When we both had young children, things were better for a time. When our dad died, Mumas health deteriorated and she moved in with me and died 12 years later. During this time, my relationship with my brother was at its worst. Before retirement, we both worked in mental health, but neither of us understand why our family relationship has been so fractured.

There is a family history: our grandfather did not get on with his sister, he and his wife kept secrets, and our dad fell out with his twin! Our childhood was difficult as our father had mental health issues.

People want more seafood than the oceans can sustainably supply, so a German firm aims to plug that gap with cultivated fish a but are consumers ready to buy it?

The redbrick offices, just north of Hamburgas River Elbe and a few floors below Carlsbergas German headquarters, are an unexpectedly low-key setting for a food team gearing up to produce Europeas first tonne of lab-grown fish.

But inside Bluu Seafood, past the slick open-plan coffee and cake bar, the rooms are dominated by gleaming white tiles, people bustling about in lab coats, rows of broad-bottomed beakers and pieces of equipment more at home in a science-fiction thriller. A 50-litre tank (a bioreactor) is filled with what looks like a cherry-coloured energy drink. The liquid, known as agrowth mediuma, is rich with sugars, minerals, amino acids and proteins designed to give the fish cells that are added to it the boost they need to multiply by the million.

The killing of councillor Marielle Franco has inspired a generation of journalists to probe the cityas dangerous underworld

Rafael Soaresas phone rang and his blood froze. aRonnie Lessa Googled you,a a federal police contact on the other end of the line told the Brazilian reporter as he stood in his newsroom one morning in 2019.

Any Rio crime journalist worth their salt knew that being investigated by such a man was extremely bad news. Lessa was reputedly one of the cityas most in-demand contract killers: a battle-hardened police combatant turned assassin whose crimes had enabled him to buy a speedboat named after a Belgian machine gun called the Minimi.

Founded in 2005 and lauded by Silicon Valley, the Nick Bostromas centre for studying existential risk warned about AI but also gave rise to cultish ideas such as effective altruism

Two weeks ago it was quietly announced that the Future of Humanity Institute, the renowned multidisciplinary research centre in Oxford, no longer had a future. It shut down without warning on 16 April. Initially there was just a brief statement on its website stating it had closed and that its research may continue elsewhere within and outside the university.

The institute, which was dedicated to studying existential risks to humanity, was founded in 2005 by the Swedish-born philosopher Nick Bostrom and quickly made a name for itself beyond academic circles a particularly in Silicon Valley, where a number of tech billionaires sang its praises and provided financial support.

But since his return to Tokyo after a successful summit with Joe Biden, Japanas prime minister has been buffeted by domestic political headwinds that this weekend could spell the beginning of the end of his administration.

Students demonstrating and hunger-striking face arrests and hospitalization a but they think they can make a difference

• Student protesters are demanding universities divest from Israel. What does that mean?

The Guardianas picture editors select photographs from around the world

Taken over several years, the British photographeras latest series shows her world narrowing as loss, and lockdown, strike

Lydia Goldblatt describes her book Fugue as a astory about mothering and losing a mother, intimacy and distance, told through photographs and writinga. It is a companion volume, in some ways, to an earlier project, Still Here, about the unsettled, intense landscape of love and loss generated by her fatheras death. aThe cultural silence around these emotions,a Goldblatt writes, by way of introduction, athe difficulty of navigating and giving voice to them, has made me want to suffuse them with colour and light.a

The pictures in Fugue were made over four years, beginning in 2020. The world of some of them is circumscribed by lockdown, life narrowing to the bubble of family. The photographeras young daughters are insistently present in the pictures, climbing and clinging and needing notice. aAbundanta is her word for them. Her mother is already an absence; the words in the book chart not only her loss but also the responsibility of clearing and decanting her London home.

Fugue is published by Gost (APS45) in June. An exhibition of the photographs, with Robert Morat Galerie, will be on display at Photo London 2024, Somerset House, 16-19 May

aThe act of hand weaving and dyeing cloth is extremely labour intensive a it can take months to make one piece,a says British artist Ptolemy Mann, who has been creating textile works of extraordinary colour and vibrancy for nearly 30 years. In 2021, after a period of experimenting with painting on paper, she turned her brush to her painstakingly dyed and handwoven cloths a the striking results can be seen in Mannas first monograph, Thread Painting (published 9 May, Hurtwood Press), and a solo show at Cromwell Place, London (15-19 May). aThereas something radical about taking a precious handwoven cloth and applying a wet, loaded paint brush to its surface,a she says, noting that most traditional paintings are done on woven (albeit plain) canvases. aPeople are astounded that I am willing to take the risk. They love the madness of them.a

The photographer documents daily life at Sunda Kelapa harbour in North Jakarta, Indonesia, including the schoolchildren who turn it into their playground

After school, many of the children local to the Sunda Kelapa harbour, in North Jakarta, Indonesia, go down to the water to swim and play. Jelly Febrian enjoys shooting the daily activities there whenever the weather is good. Always prepared for the right moment, he carries his phone with him to capture crews loading their boats, people fishing, and boys and girls jumping from the boats, as pictured.

aIn the maritime villages near here there arenat many fields, so the children mostly play around the pier. Every boat that docks here has a different owner and purpose, they load and unload basic necessities, and every week they sail to other Indonesian islands, such as Papua, Sumatra and Sulawesi.
