      <title>‘Barbarians’: Russian troops leave grisly mark on town of Trostianets</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/barbarians-russian-troops-leave-grisly-mark-on-ukraine-town-of-trostianets</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;On a two-day visit, the Guardian found evidence of summary executions, torture and looting &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tanks rolled into Trostianets, a sleepy town 20 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border, in the first hours of the invasion. Russian troops fanned out across the town, occupying a number of buildings: the forestry agency headquarters, the railway station and a chocolate factory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their top general set up his office in room 23 at the local administration building, where the council’s accountants used to sit. His bottle of single malt is still on the desk, the butts of his slim cigarettes perched on the edge of an ashtray. He slept on a single bed stolen from a nearby hotel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/barbarians-russian-troops-leave-grisly-mark-on-ukraine-town-of-trostianets"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Where is the security?’ Zelenskiy tells home truths to UN security council</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/05/volodymyr-zelenskiy-un-security-council-sketch</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ukraine’s leader is a master communicator but his words made for uncomfortable listening in a forum with Russia at its heart&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two days ago his audience consisted of Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo and Saweetie. This was Volodymyr Zelenskiy, president of Ukraine and man for all seasons, delivering a &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2022/apr/04/ukraines-president-appears-in-video-message-at-2022-grammys-video"&gt;virtual message&lt;/a&gt; to the Grammy music awards in Las Vegas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A little incongruous? A bit off key? The same might have been said on Tuesday when Zelenskiy addressed the UN security council, led by its five permanent members: the United States, Britain, China, France – and Russia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/05/volodymyr-zelenskiy-un-security-council-sketch"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Homes for Ukraine’ is just a slogan – as I found out by trying to welcome a refugee | Rafael Behr</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/homes-for-ukraine-refugee-britain-hosts</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Britain’s flagship scheme for matching hosts with refugees is another of the government’s inflated promises – and equally empty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A policy of indifference to the plight of Ukrainian refugees would be morally repugnant, but honest. Millions fleeing the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/volodymyr-zelenskiy-un-security-council-russia-war-ukraine-bucha"&gt;criminal butchery&lt;/a&gt; of Vladimir Putin’s army would be told that they were not welcome in Britain and should seek sanctuary elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is not the UK government line. Instead, something more insidious has taken shape – a device for mixing the desperation of displaced people with hospitality offered by the British public, and feeding both into a bureaucratic mangle so every drop of uncertainty and dread can be wrung out. That is the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/01/uk-homes-for-ukraine-scheme-launches-amid-safeguarding-fears"&gt;Homes for Ukraine scheme&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rafael Behr is a Guardian columnist&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/homes-for-ukraine-refugee-britain-hosts"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Doubts about viability of plan after Ruth Davidson, Damian Green and Jeremy Hunt call for a rethink&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boris Johnson will struggle to get his plans to privatise Channel 4 through parliament after a backlash from within his party, senior Conservatives believe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The plans to raise £1bn-plus by selling off the state-owned channel sparked furious opposition from people such as Ruth Davidson, the former Scottish Tory leader, and former cabinet ministers Damian Green and Jeremy Hunt.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/05/senior-tories-speak-out-against-channel-4-privatisation-plans"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The treatments include the monoclonal antibody sotrovimab (Xevudy) and the antiviral medicines nirmatrelvir and ritonavir (Paxlovid), remdesivir (Veklury), and molnupiravir (Lagevrio).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/05/covid-patients-seriously-ill-after-struggling-to-access-antivirals-in-england"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Agustín Carstens challenges Bank of England’s outlook, which estimates inflation will fall next year&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The world economy may be on the brink of a new inflationary era with persistently higher growth in consumer prices due to the retreat of globalisation, a leading central bank chief has said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agustín Carstens, head of the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements – which is known as the central bank of central banks – said there was a strong risk that prices would rise uncontrollably without a sharp rise in interest rates above existing plans.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/apr/05/world-may-be-on-cusp-of-new-inflationary-era-says-central-bank-chief"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Facebook restores banned ad promoting renters rights after tweet goes viral</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/05/facebook-restores-banned-ad-promoting-renters-rights-after-tweet-goes-viral</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ronan Burtenshaw’s publication was labelled as discriminatory and blocked from being promoted&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook will restore a banned advert promoting an opinion piece calling for renters rights, after the company’s automated systems blocked the post for “discrimination”. But critics say the error will be repeated unless Facebook acts to protect campaigners on its platform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Monday Ronan Burtenshaw, the editor of Tribune Magazine, received a message from Facebook saying one of his publication’s posts had been blocked from being promoted on the site. The story, headlined &lt;a href="https://tribunemag.co.uk/2022/04/the-rent-is-too-damn-high"&gt;The Rent is Too Damn High&lt;/a&gt;, calls for “a struggle of renters against the rentiers” and concludes that solving the housing crisis requires a massive programme of council house creation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/05/facebook-restores-banned-ad-promoting-renters-rights-after-tweet-goes-viral"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Organisations pulled out of Safe to Be Me after government failed to ban conversion practices for transgender people&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The government’s flagship LGBTQ+ conference has been cancelled after falling into disarray, with more organisations pulling out and a key government adviser accusing ministers of waging a “woke war”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iain Anderson, the government’s LGBTQ+ business adviser, said he was “completely shocked” by the decision last week not to press ahead with outlawing practices aimed at those questioning their gender identity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/05/lgbt-government-adviser-quits-over-conversion-practices-uturn"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Karen Smart steps down after thousands of passengers miss flights due to hours-long queues&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The managing director of Manchester airport has quit after weeks of chaos in which thousands of passengers have missed their flights because of queues up to seven hours long.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Karen Smart stepped down on Tuesday after coming under fierce criticism from airport staff as well as angry travellers. She had been in the post for two years, during a turbulent time in aviation history.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/05/manchester-airport-manager-quits-after-weeks-of-chaos"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘It’s a dream’: exoskeleton allows boy with cerebral palsy to walk and play</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/its-a-dream-exoskeleton-allows-boy-to-walk-and-play</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Boy, 12, takes Marsi Bionics-designed kit into Madrid school for first time&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given the day’s importance and the many long months he and his family had dreamed of it, Jorge would probably have preferred a special guest appearance by Tony Stark, Dr Bruce Banner or Marshall the fire pup from Paw Patrol. Or, better still, all three.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But in the end he had to make do with a surprise visit from Pedro Sánchez. At 12.45pm on Tuesday, surrounded by friends and teachers – and Spain’s prime minister – Jorge fulfilled the biggest ambition of his 12 years by standing up, walking over to his classmates, and playing with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/its-a-dream-exoskeleton-allows-boy-to-walk-and-play"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Ellie Simmonds: A World Without Dwarfism review – are drugs really the answer?</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/ellie-simmonds-a-world-without-dwarfism-review-are-drugs-really-the-answer</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Paralympian investigates new drugs intended to treat achondroplasia, which some view as the future – and others see as an ‘existential threat’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I was in my 20s I went out for quite a while with a man who had a disability that affected his ability to walk, and who had a son severely disabled by cerebral palsy – he communicated non-verbally and would never be able to live independently. To go out with them was to have your eyes opened to just how much of disability is socially constructed. Which is the fancy way of saying that there wouldn’t be half so many problems for loads of disabled people if shops would just bother putting ramps and lifts in, and if non-disabled people would stop staring in either disgust or fascination at anyone who deviates even slightly from the physical norm. And a special shout-out, even 20-odd years on, to the lady who advised us from a position of unassailable entitlement and fury to “Stop breeding”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, we – as a group, and my boyfriend and his son as individuals – were, for the bulk of the time, met with great kindness, generosity and practical help from the non-staring demographic. But it is inescapably the case that to live with any condition that marks you out from the herd is to live, to some degree, in a different world from most.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/ellie-simmonds-a-world-without-dwarfism-review-are-drugs-really-the-answer"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘No one wants to be a little brother’: Belarus, Russia and Ukraine – a dysfunctional family affair</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/05/belarus-russia-and-ukraine-putin-dysfunctional-family</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Putin loves to  evoke the family to describe the relationship between our countries. But we have always known our identities are quite distinct&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recently, as someone born in Belarus who has lived in Russia, I have often been asked the same question: why did Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, nations so closely related to each other, develop in such different ways? My answer is very simple: this closeness has been greatly exaggerated by Moscow, and in fact we are all quite different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am the last Soviet first-former. My parents took me to school on 1 September 1991, just a few days after the empire essentially disappeared. My father filmed that day’s events with a camcorder, and today we have in our family archive a quite remarkable document: in the video schoolchildren and their parents listen to the teacher’s introduction, getting ready for a new, ordinary Soviet school year, still completely unaware of the fact that the Soviet Union is no more. They are now citizens of a new country, one which will have to start everything from scratch and fight for its own independence, struggling every day to break free from the Kremlin’s clutches.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/05/belarus-russia-and-ukraine-putin-dysfunctional-family"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Analysis: why ministers are risking political capital pushing ahead now with privatisation plan is unclear&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to one key individual involved in the battle for Channel 4’s future, the broadcaster is a “wonderful company doing a fantastic job”, it is performing well financially and plays a crucial role in supporting the British television ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Curiously, that individual is Stephen Parkinson, a government minister arguing that the only solution to secure Channel 4’s future is to &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/04/nadine-dorries-to-press-ahead-with-plan-to-privatise-channel-4"&gt;rapidly privatise it&lt;/a&gt; and sell it off to a commercial owner, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/05/channel-4-whos-in-the-running-to-buy-the-british-broadcaster"&gt;possibly one based overseas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/05/tory-revenge-against-channel-4-could-turn-into-bruising-battle"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;From tests to masks, we look at advice on what to do now most people in England have to pay for testing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The official list of Covid-19 symptoms on the NHS has been extended to cover nine new symptoms, including sore throat, fatigue and headache and comes days after the provision of free testing kits for the public came to an end in England. The latest moves, combined with the lack of rules on masks and vague guidance on self-isolating, has left some wondering how to navigate the latest wave of infections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortness of breath.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feeling tired or exhausted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An aching body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A headache.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A sore throat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A blocked or runny nose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loss of appetite.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Diarrhoea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feeling sick or being sick.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/when-should-i-do-a-covid-test-do-i-still-have-to-isolate-england"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore review – good-natured magical entertainment</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/05/fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-review-good-natured-magical-entertainment</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Visually impressive third adventure looks great, with an ever more Dickensian Eddie Redmayne, though there are questions about the Harry Potter timeline&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The magizoologist Newt Scamander returns in the latest of the Fantastic Beasts movies, the prequel-saga of the wizarding world in Britain, America and beyond before Harry Potter’s Hogwarts career. JK Rowling co-writes the screenplay with Steve Kloves; Potter veteran David Yates directs with a sure hand; and Eddie Redmayne is looking more eccentric and Dickensian than ever in his role, a Copperfield or even a young Mr Dick with his shock of hair, faintly unfocused gaze, unworldly bowtie and fractionally too-short trousers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Secrets of Dumbledore is another very amiable and lovely-looking fantasy adventure with some great production design and visual effects, especially in the New York scenes. But it’s not about “secrets” as much as new IP-franchise narrative components shuffled into the ongoing content and shuffled out again. Yet there is certainly something intriguing about the questions arising from the saga’s approach to the existing Potter timeline.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/apr/05/fantastic-beasts-the-secrets-of-dumbledore-review-good-natured-magical-entertainment"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Shrinking the Gap: how the clothing brand lost its way</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2022/apr/05/gap-how-the-clothing-brand-lost-its-way-fashion-retail</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Gap’s clothes defined an era, but the brand has been steadily declining for years. Can a collaboration with Kanye West revive its fortunes – or is it just another sign of a company flailing around for an identity? &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bring to mind, if you will, Gap’s classic logo hoodie. You know the one: three bold letters arranged in an arch across the chest. It was everywhere in the 1990s and 00s, sold in a rainbow of saturated colours. This sweatshirt didn’t signal a taste for fashion so much as a desire for comfort at a reasonable price. It was like the air we breathed, or the muzak floating around as we prowled the mall, ever-present and hardly worth remarking upon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the years, the sweatshirt faded out of view, until, in 2020, an odd thing happened: it suddenly became a hot fashion item at the hands of gen Z. On Instagram and TikTok, stylish young influencers started posting photos and videos of themselves wearing Gap hoodies. Suddenly these hoodies looked rather hip and cool. The YouTube star Emma Chamberlain posted a &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXoGzkJ0Np/" title=""&gt;series of photos&lt;/a&gt; of herself on Instagram, her expression oscillating between detached, sleepy, and slightly mournful, as she stood next to a pool wearing white bikini bottoms and a navy Gap logo hoodie. The post received more than 2.4 million likes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2022/apr/05/gap-how-the-clothing-brand-lost-its-way-fashion-retail"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>What's better for cooking, gas or induction hobs? | Kitchen aide</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/05/whats-better-for-cooking-gas-or-induction-hobs</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you go for the efficiency, cleanliness and response of induction, or the char-ability of gas – or both? We ask some of our favourite cooks what they prefer&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Got a culinary dilemma? Email &lt;a href="mailto:feast@theguardian.com"&gt;feast@theguardian.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I’m having my kitchen redone and am torn about whether to g&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;et a gas or induction hob. Help!”&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hayley, Lancaster&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I don’t know anyone who has converted to induction who wants to go back,” says food writer and broadcaster &lt;a href="http://www.timhayward.com/"&gt;Tim Hayward&lt;/a&gt;. The benefits of not cooking on gas, he says, are myriad, but the first question to ask yourself, Hayley, is how much coverage you need: “For most of my life, I’ve had big stoves with five burners, and I’ve never used all of them at once,” Hayward explains. So he’s now gone for something smaller: a &lt;a href="https://sagepolyscience.com/products/the-control-freak?variant=31887851585597"&gt;Sage Control Freak&lt;/a&gt;, which is a single induction burner that sits on top of the worktop and has two built-in probes to measure the temperature of both the pan and the food inside it. His wife also insisted on a built-in, single-pan induction hob, but it doesn’t get much use: “If she’d let me have two Control Freaks, we’d be absolutely fine.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Got a culinary dilemma? Email &lt;a href="mailto:feast@theguardian.com"&gt;feast@theguardian.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/05/whats-better-for-cooking-gas-or-induction-hobs"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The sell-off of Channel 4 won’t benefit anyone but Boris Johnson | Dorothy Byrne</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/sell-off-channel-4-wont-benefit-anyone-but-boris-johnson</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There is no commercial logic to selling off a network that has a unique mission. It is an act of political dogma and score-settling&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1982, Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/04/channel-4-the-40-year-countdown-to-privatisation"&gt;established Channel 4&lt;/a&gt; in order to create an independent television production sector in the UK. Unlike the BBC or ITV, it was not to make any of its own programmes, not even its flagship Channel 4 News. All over the UK, independent companies sprang up to make its content. In the 40 years since, they have made billions of pounds – not just for themselves but also for Britain, selling their wares around the world. And, unlike the BBC, they have spoken with many voices, bringing diverse and radical ideas to the fore which had barely been heard before in mainstream broadcasting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, Boris Johnson’s Conservative government announced it was &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/apr/05/channel-4-boris-johnson-conservatives-nadine-dorries-latest-updates-uk-politics-live?page=with:block-624bfb008f08fd70369de400#:~:text=From%204h%20ago-,09%3A28,-Privatising%20Channel%204"&gt;selling off the channel&lt;/a&gt;, claiming that by doing so it would boost independent production companies. This makes no sense. Instead of Channel 4 being a publicly-owned organisation that pumps hundreds of millions of pounds a year into the independent sector, it is being sold off, almost certainly to a giant TV production company, possibly from overseas. It will be in the interests of that company to make as many of its own programmes as it can and retain the rights in them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dorothy Byrne is the former head of news and current affairs at Channel 4 and president of Murray Edwards College, Cambridge&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/sell-off-channel-4-wont-benefit-anyone-but-boris-johnson"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>It’s totally OK to break laws in England – just ask the MPs who make them | Marina Hyde</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/break-laws-england-mps-jacob-rees-mogg-covid</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Jacob Rees-Mogg calling Covid regulations ‘unkind and inhuman’ says it all: following the rules is strictly for other people&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another day, another tranche of Partygate fines from the police. You’ll have heard the adage that politics is showbiz for ugly people. So let’s be real: the Conservative party’s reaction to lawbreaking in Downing Street is the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/28/celebrities-react-will-smith-hitting-chris-rock-the-oscars"&gt;Oscars slap&lt;/a&gt; for ugly people. Think back to what we saw on our TVs. A whole class of pretentious narcissists, so terminally in hock to a corrupt system of golden job offers and preferment that any moral code could only ever take a distant second place to the impulse to worshipfully close ranks. And Hollywood’s no better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every day, ministers who go on the airwaves to defend Boris Johnson over Partygate are doing the equivalent of the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/mar/30/will-smith-chris-rock-oscars-slap"&gt;standing ovation&lt;/a&gt; in the Dolby theatre – a community of hilariously absurd people rising to their feet and applauding someone they know full well has behaved appallingly, because … because what? Because some things are more important? Bollocks. They’re applauding because they’re totally ridiculous and vain people. Those who felt slapped in the face when the multiple party stories first emerged just have to suck it up. We’re all Chris Rock now. I’m only waiting for religious wingnut&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Jacob Rees-Mogg to claim that the devil comes for prime ministers when they’re at their highest. Yesterday, it emerged that the government’s &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/04/former-uk-government-ethics-chief-issues-apology-after-lockdown-party-fine"&gt;former ethics chief has been fined&lt;/a&gt; for attending a lawbreaking karaoke party at which there was apparently a drunken brawl. You laugh, but &lt;a href="https://news.sky.com/story/louis-ck-grammy-backlash-as-disgraced-us-comic-wins-best-comedy-album-12582093"&gt;she’ll probably get a Grammy&lt;/a&gt; for talking about it next year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/break-laws-england-mps-jacob-rees-mogg-covid"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Flogging Channel 4 won’t bring about the longed-for British reply to Netflix | Nils Pratley</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2022/apr/05/flogging-channel-4-wont-bring-about-the-longed-for-british-reply-to-netflix</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Prospective buyers will see a clear tension between public service obligations and making profits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s try to take the government’s case for privatising Channel 4 at face value. It runs something like this: far from being motivated by revenge for critical coverage, ministers are aiming to ensure the channel thrives in the long-term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to this line of thinking, Channel 4, despite its healthy-looking record surplus of £74m in 2020, is in danger of being crushed by Netflix, Amazon Prime et al in the new era of subscription and streaming. It relies on advertising income and, under its current remit, can’t produce programmes in-house. Look forward a decade and the sums spent with independent UK producers could dwindle. What worked in the past doesn’t guarantee success in the future.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2022/apr/05/flogging-channel-4-wont-bring-about-the-longed-for-british-reply-to-netflix"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The children I teach have been badly set back by the pandemic. ‘Catch-up’ lessons aren’t what they need | Anonymous</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/pupils-pandemic-covid-lessons-ofsted-play</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ofsted found some children now struggle to recognise facial expressions. More time for play and communication would help them&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, while watching an outdated DVD about “growing and changing” with my year 2 class, a child in the programme blew out their birthday candles and shared slices of the cake with their friends. Outrage in the classroom ensued. “Miss, was that before corona? That’s disgusting!”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Birthday parties are a small part of what young children have missed over the past two years. Since the first lockdown began, children have missed months of classroom learning, play dates, drama groups and football practice. Recent &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/apr/04/pandemic-has-delayed-social-skills-of-young-children-says-ofsted-chief"&gt;findings from Ofsted&lt;/a&gt; show the pandemic has delayed the social skills of young children – with some unable to understand facial expressions as a result. These will surprise no teacher. There have been no national lockdowns or two-week “bubble” closures during this academic year, and this relative consistency has been wonderful. But being back at school has also given staff a clearer understanding of how the pandemic has affected children’s development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author is a teacher at a primary school in London&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/pupils-pandemic-covid-lessons-ofsted-play"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Jay-Z and Beyoncé crossing a picket line to party shows how shallow celebrity activism really is | Emma Dabiri</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/jay-z-beyonce-picket-line-party-celebrity-activism-oscars-chateau-marmont</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The couple’s Oscars afterparty saw celebrities bypass Chateau Marmont workers who have complained of abhorrent conditions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Much of the energy that erupted after the murder of &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/george-floyd"&gt;George Floyd&lt;/a&gt; seems to have been hijacked by a brand of “antiracism” overconcerned with microaggressions, with representation in film and media, and with interpersonal relationships. It’s a framework that largely ignores economic inequality, or the potential for strategic, organised struggle. Instead, the emphasis is placed on the insistence that if we just make white people &lt;em&gt;nicer &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;encourage them to &lt;em&gt;do better&lt;/em&gt; through a combination of demanding, begging or cajoling – all the while obsessively documenting a catalogue of personal privileges between individuals based purely on whether they are “white”, “black” or “brown” – that we are “doing the work”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ahistoric and devoid of class analysis, this brand of activism doesn’t have the tools to address the shitshow that recently took place at Jay-Z’s annual Oscars Gold party at the Chateau Marmont hotel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/jay-z-beyonce-picket-line-party-celebrity-activism-oscars-chateau-marmont"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>After decades of sneering from the sidelines, I am learning to just jump in and feel the joy</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last week I watched two hours of amateur community dance. I would have squirmed in my seat once. But now I thought it was brilliant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now this is a sentence I didn’t expect to find myself writing: last week I paid to watch two hours of intergenerational amateur community dance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were white-haired women in leggings dancing with wooden spoons; a dancer with mobility issues sitting on a chair, surrounded by people in green T-shirts; a new mum snapping her body and stamping her feet over the nappies, toys and phone chargers she’d emptied out of her rucksack. I drank tepid white wine out of a plastic cup; a woman played the cello while a loose collaboration of human bodies rolled and jerked across an empty stage. And do you know what? It was brilliant. I loved it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nell Frizzell is the author of &lt;a href="https://guardianbookshop.com/the-panic-years-9781787632837.html"&gt;The Panic Years&lt;/a&gt;, out now through Bantam Press.

      <title>Strangers saved me from choking to death – twice. Everyone should learn first aid | Simon Hattenstone</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/choking-to-death-learn-first-aid-heimlich-manoeuvre</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Imagine how many lives would be saved if more people (including me) knew how to deal with an emergency&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first time I almost choked to death was eight years ago. I’d just interviewed Gordon Brown and had a big barney with him. I got to see his famous temper in full fury when I asked him about Iraq while he wanted to talk about the Scottish referendum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was upset. It was pissing down, dark, and I ended up in a Glasgow curry house by myself. I phoned up Murdo, the photographer on the assignment, while I was eating and took him through the interview bit by disastrous bit. A piece of naan stuck in my throat. Murdo was on the end of the line, hearing me retching. Then choking.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/choking-to-death-learn-first-aid-heimlich-manoeuvre"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The Guardian view on Channel 4: don’t sell it | Editorial</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/the-guardian-view-on-channel-4-dont-sell-it</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Even senior Tories think the plan to privatise the broadcaster is madness. It must be stopped&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nadine Dorries strikes again. It is impossible to take her seriously as a politician of substance, but she seems determined to do – and capable of doing – serious damage. She has &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/04/nadine-dorries-to-press-ahead-with-plan-to-privatise-channel-4" title=""&gt;restated&lt;/a&gt; her intention to push ahead with selling off Channel 4, in order, she says, to allow it to compete with Netflix and Amazon, from which destiny it is currently being “held back”. This makes no sense, and shows a lack of understanding of what these streamers are and what they do (giant US tech companies aiming for global reach); and of what Channel 4 is and does (a British public-service broadcaster that publishes, rather than owns, the material it commissions, and is aimed at generating a diverse, lively domestic production sector).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why anyone would feel the need to transform Channel 4’s ownership arrangements is a mystery. A Tory government rejected the notion in 2016. Indeed, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/apr/05/senior-tories-speak-out-against-channel-4-privatisation-plans" title=""&gt;senior Conservatives&lt;/a&gt;, including the former culture secretary Jeremy Hunt and Ruth Davidson, the former leader of the Scottish Tories, have publicly condemned the idea since the culture secretary’s latest pronouncement on the matter. What many Tories grasp, but Ms Dorries seems not to, is that Channel 4, though in public ownership, costs the taxpayer nothing, since it raises its own cash and then, crucially, ploughs its revenues back into commissioning. In November she &lt;a href="https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/media/2021/11/nadine-dorries-who-owns-channel-4-doesnt-know-who-pays-for-channel-4" title=""&gt;asserted&lt;/a&gt; to a parliamentary select committee that the channel is funded by the taxpayer. This is quite simply untrue (indeed, she was immediately corrected by her questioner, fellow Tory Damian Green). It is concerning that the fate of a national broadcaster depends, at least in part, on someone who seems to know so little about it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/the-guardian-view-on-channel-4-dont-sell-it"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The Guardian view on strongmen and straw men: south Asian crises over Russia’s war | Editorial</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/the-guardian-view-on-strongmen-and-straw-men-south-asian-crises-over-russias-war</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;It may be a conceit to think that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will shape the contours of a coming wider global struggle between autocracy and democracy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flying from Islamabad to Colombo gives a bird’s-eye view of the fallout from war over the subcontinent. The three nations under the route are all governed by nationalists who won office by trading in populism. Having gained power, such politicians tend to have a messianic faith in their capacity to effect sweeping change. This belief is being tested, perhaps to destruction, in &lt;a href="https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/assessing-south-asias-responses-to-the-ukraine-crisis/" title=""&gt;south Asian&lt;/a&gt; democracies with a combined population of 1.6 billion people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s prime minister, Imran Khan – who was in Moscow as the tanks rolled into Ukraine – claimed last week that the US had “&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/31/imran-khan-address-pakistan-faces-no-confidence-vote" title=""&gt;threatened&lt;/a&gt;” him and tried to instigate regime change. Mr Khan has been at &lt;a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/597082-pakistan-pm-hits-back-at-western-push-to-condemn-russia/" title=""&gt;loggerheads&lt;/a&gt; with the west since Pakistan abstained in the UN resolution condemning Moscow’s attack. Over the weekend the nation’s army – long considered the power behind the throne – &lt;a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/4/4/pakistan-is-once-again-on-the-brink" title=""&gt;openly&lt;/a&gt; sided with Washington. Mr Khan has refused to leave quietly. Instead of facing a no-confidence vote that he would have almost certainly lost, he precipitated a political crisis by &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/03/imran-khan-appears-to-want-to-keep-power-in-pakistan-at-any-cost" title=""&gt;dissolving&lt;/a&gt; parliament. Pakistan’s judges now have the casting vote on the prime minister’s fate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/05/the-guardian-view-on-strongmen-and-straw-men-south-asian-crises-over-russias-war"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>It’s imperative to keep Covid in the headlines | Letters</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/its-imperative-to-keep-covid-in-the-headlines</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alan Walker&lt;/strong&gt; calls on the media to keep the death toll in the public eye as the pandemic is not over, &lt;strong&gt;Marcia Heinemann&lt;/strong&gt; is relieved that the official symptom list has been expanded and &lt;strong&gt;Jonathan Hauxwell&lt;/strong&gt; is concerned about the lack of free tests&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adrian Chiles invites us to “pick your personal gripe about the state of the world” (&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/30/ukraine-war-russia-media-news" title=""&gt;When the same awful thing happens often enough, it ceases to be newsworthy – and that is a big problem, 30 March&lt;/a&gt;). Mine is the failure of most of broadcast and print media to report the continuing death toll from Covid. This plays into the hands of libertarians who care little about public health, still less about the hugely unequal distribution of those deaths, and fuels the myth that Covid is just another virus that we have to live with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chiles’s distinction between “interesting” as the basis for what is newsworthy rather than “important” is spot-on. But he omits examples of dogged journalism that do keep a story alive precisely because it is important, such as Amelia Gentleman’s outstanding work on the Windrush scandal. I hope that someone of her calibre takes up the Covid death toll and keeps it in the public eye. Last week it was &lt;a href="https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/" title=""&gt;over 1,000&lt;/a&gt;. Covid has definitely not gone away.&lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alan Walker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Professor of social policy, University of Sheffield&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/its-imperative-to-keep-covid-in-the-headlines"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Turbines are an eyesore? Sounds like a wind-up | Letters</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/turbines-are-an-eyesore-sounds-like-a-wind-up</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you think wind turbines are ugly, try living near a power station, writes &lt;strong&gt;Dr Michael Symonds&lt;/strong&gt;, while &lt;strong&gt;Terry Leary&lt;/strong&gt; wonders why tidal power is being overlooked&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since when has something being an “eyesore” been a good reason for not constructing more wind turbines (&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/boris-johnson-blows-cold-on-onshore-wind-faced-with-100-plus-rebel-mps" title=""&gt;Boris Johnson blows cold on onshore wind faced with 100-plus rebel MPs, 5 April&lt;/a&gt;)? Living close to the second largest emitter of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; in the country – the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station – I can testify to what an eyesore it is. Not to mention the knowledge that every time plumes of vapour are emitted from its vast cooling towers, yet more carbon is being released from burning coal. The regular flooding of local properties due to the frequent torrential rain that we now experience is another eyesore. &lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dr Michael Symonds &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Loughborough&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Amid talk of increased nuclear, solar and wind power, there seems to be a deafening silence about tidal power. This is neither dangerous nor dependent on fickle wind or sunshine. It capitalises on the UK’s large tidal ranges and costs about the same as nuclear power. The tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay, &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jun/25/government-rejects-plan-for-tidal-lagoon-in-swansea" title=""&gt;cancelled in 2018&lt;/a&gt;, could have generated electricity for 155,000 homes for the next 120 years. The proposed Severn Barrage could generate enough renewable energy to power Wales. &lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terry Leary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br incopy-break-type="webbreak"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rugby, Warwickshire &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/turbines-are-an-eyesore-sounds-like-a-wind-up"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Kevin De Bruyne gives Manchester City advantage against Atlético Madrid</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/manchester-city-atletico-madrid-champions-league-quarter-final-first-leg-match-report</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Manchester City were not the smooth operators they so often are but this slender victory may prove invaluable when the tie is decided in next week’s return at Wanda Metropolitano. For this they can thank Phil Foden and his schemer’s eye, the youngster threading the decisive pass that released Kevin De Bruyne who, on his 50th Champions League appearance for City, made no mistake for a winner that was his 11th goal in the competition for the club. It means Pep Guardiola’s side travel to Spain content yet wary as Atlético Madrid are the definition of a streetwise outfit who know when to punish, though João Félix, Antoine Griezmann and Marcos Llorente should all rue missed opportunities tonight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Towards the end the niggly Atlético of repute was on display as Ángel Correa smacked the ball into the face of a supine Jack Grealish, causing Guardiola to shove the Atlético No 10 though the Catalan escaped censure. Sime Vrsaljko was booked for felling Grealish and there will be more antics from Diego Simeone’s side when they search to overturn the deficit in eight days’ time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/manchester-city-atletico-madrid-champions-league-quarter-final-first-leg-match-report"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Luis Díaz returns to Portugal to haunt Benfica and seal Liverpool’s first-leg win</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/benfica-liverpool-champions-league-quarter-final-first-leg-match-report</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Andy Robertson glared at the Benfica fans who pelted him with flag poles as he waited to take a stoppage time corner, but Liverpool had already served out punishment. Jürgen Klopp’s side are firmly on course for the Champions League semi-finals following a commanding win in Lisbon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were unforeseen nerves when Darwin Nunez handed Benfica a lifeline early in the second half but Luis Díaz’s late finish, on top of first half goals from Ibrahima Konaté and Sadio Mané, reflected the visitors superiority on the night.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/benfica-liverpool-champions-league-quarter-final-first-leg-match-report"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Tiger Woods prepared to play through pain barrier in unlikely Masters quest | Andy Bull</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/05/tiger-woods-prepared-to-play-through-pain-barrier-in-unlikely-masters-quest</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;His comeback after the life-threatening car crash seemed fanciful but Woods has defied limits throughout his career&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tiger Woods’s first real memory of the Masters is of watching Jack Nicklaus play on the Sunday of 1986. Woods was 10 and had been out to play nine holes with his dad that morning but they were back in front of the TV in time to see Nicklaus, then 46, come round the turn in one of the most famous rounds in the history of the majors. From six shots back he made five birdies and an eagle and won by one. Woods remembers watching him hit that famous second shot on the 15th, from the hill over the water and to 12 feet from the hole, and the way he raised both fists in the air to celebrate, and wondering why he was so happy when he still had to make the putt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the years Woods has asked Nicklaus, more than once, what he was thinking about in that moment. Woods never really got a good answer out of Nicklaus but, according to his book Unprecedented, this is the way he has come to think about it: “He did what he needed to do to put himself in a position to win the Masters. He was not thinking about winning. He was thinking only about the shot and what he needed to do. He wasn’t getting ahead of himself.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/05/tiger-woods-prepared-to-play-through-pain-barrier-in-unlikely-masters-quest"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Dan Carter on kicking 1,598 goals in 24 hours for charity: ‘OK, sounds doable’ | Michael Aylwin</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/05/dan-carter-ive-always-wanted-to-do-something-like-this</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Rugby union’s record Test points scorer is going to kick 1,598 goals in 24 hours for charity at Eden Park in Auckland&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Dan Carter signed off from international rugby, he was rightly proud of his 1,598 Test points. Ask him how he feels about them come Friday afternoon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Thursday, at 7pm local time, Carter will stride on to the familiar turf of Eden Park in Auckland and start kicking goals once more. Only this time he is aiming to land 1,598 of them, one for each of his Test points, a record haul that surpasses the next best (of one Jonny Wilkinson) by 352.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/apr/05/dan-carter-ive-always-wanted-to-do-something-like-this"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

As the Ajax manager has never worked in the Premier League, the ideal candidate to be his assistant would have experience in the competition. McClaren worked in the role between 1999 and 2001 under Sir Alex Ferguson, with the club claiming the treble at the end of his first season there.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/steve-mcclaren-could-be-no-2-if-erik-ten-hag-is-appointed-manchester-united"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Arsenal defender to lead team with Millie Bright vice-captain&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Williamson: ‘I know we have a squad full of leaders’&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leah Williamson described being named as England’s captain for the European Championship this summer as “the biggest honour in football” and something that will “never sink in”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“For me to wear an England badge would have always been enough,” the Arsenal defender said. “For me to get on the pitch and start in a major tournament is an incredible achievement and something I’ve not done yet for England, so it’s been a quick and massive change for me over the last year or so and that will really be a pinch-myself moment.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/05/leah-williamson-named-england-captain-for-womens-european-championships"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>IPCC: We can tackle climate change if big oil gets out of the way</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/ipcc-report-scientists-climate-crisis-fossil-fuels</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Experts say criticism of oil and gas’s ‘climate-blocking activities’ cut from final draft, reflective of industry’s power and influence&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fossil fuel industry and its influence over policy was the major elephant in the room looming over the release of the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/04/ipcc-report-now-or-never-if-world-stave-off-climate-disaster"&gt;third and final report&lt;/a&gt;, out this week, from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading climate authority. The major source of contention: how do you talk about mitigating climate change without confronting the fossil fuel industry? “It’s like Star Wars without Darth Vader,” says environmental sociologist Robert Brulle, of Brown University.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first two reports, both released over the last year, highlighted the physical science on climate effects and countries’ vulnerability to further warming. But this third report deals more with the potential solutions, which have been a focal point of controversy in recent years for both the fossil fuel industry and the governments of oil-rich nations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This story is published as part of &lt;a href="https://coveringclimatenow.org/"&gt;Covering Climate Now&lt;/a&gt;, a global collaboration of news outlets strengthening coverage of the climate story&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/ipcc-report-scientists-climate-crisis-fossil-fuels"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/uk-too-slow-over-climate-crisis-despite-stark-ipcc-report</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Scientists’ concerns come after Jacob Rees-Mogg declared ‘every last drop of oil from the North Sea’ should be exploited&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UK government is moving too slowly to tackle the climate emergency, leading scientists have said in the wake &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/04/ipcc-report-now-or-never-if-world-stave-off-climate-disaster"&gt;of the latest IPCC report.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This comes after Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Brexit minister, declared that he supported “exploiting every last cubic inch of gas from the North Sea” the day the report was released.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/uk-too-slow-over-climate-crisis-despite-stark-ipcc-report"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>When will the world reach 1.5C of global heating?</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/when-will-world-reach-global-heating-limit-ipcc-climate-crisis</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;With 1.5C of heating now all but inevitable, scientists say the focus must turn to mitigation measures&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reaching 1.5C of global heating is &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/04/ipcc-report-now-or-never-if-world-stave-off-climate-disaster"&gt;now pretty much inevitable&lt;/a&gt;, and we will reach it somewhere around 2035, no matter what we do. That’s the conclusion from the latest climate projections, which suggest even if we reach net zero emissions within the next 30 years, we will be stuck with at least that level of heating until 2070 or so.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Staying below 1.5C of global warming is currently not plausible,” says Jochem Marotzke, from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/when-will-world-reach-global-heating-limit-ipcc-climate-crisis"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Exclusive: civil service source cites concern over possible evidence senior officials knowingly broke rules&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Civil service chiefs are braced for the behaviour of top Whitehall officials to be severely criticised in the Sue Gray partygate report, after the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/04/former-uk-government-ethics-chief-issues-apology-after-lockdown-party-fine"&gt;government’s former ethics chief apologised&lt;/a&gt; for attending an illegal gathering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amid speculation about whether Boris Johnson will be fined over lockdown parties in No 10, there is also consternation in Whitehall about how to deal with the fallout from senior civil servants being implicated as organisers of gatherings when the full report is finally published.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/05/partygate-whitehall-braced-for-top-staff-to-be-implicated-in-sue-gray-report"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Nurses witnessed girl screaming and sounding ‘very scared’ when repeatedly held down on her bed, court told&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A 14-year-old autistic girl was unlawfully detained in hospital and restrained in front of scared young patients, a high court judge has found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On one occasion last month the teenager managed to break into a treatment room where a dying infant was receiving palliative care. She was restrained there by three security guards, Mr Justice MacDonald said in &lt;a href="https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam/2022/719.html"&gt;a judgment&lt;/a&gt; in the family court that ordered Manchester city council (MCC) to find the girl a suitable community care placement instead of what he described as the “brutal and abusive” and “manifestly unsuitable” hospital environment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/05/autistic-girl-14-unlawfully-detained-hospital-high-court-judge-finds"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Conservatives seek to examine latest techniques, citing rising energy costs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ministers have paved the way for a reconsideration of the moratorium on fracking in England by commissioning a new study to examine safety concerns about the controversial practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an effort to decrease Britain’s reliance on imported energy given spiralling costs, the business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, said it was “absolutely right that we explore all possible domestic energy sources”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/05/ministers-launch-uk-fracking-study-paving-way-to-end-moratorium"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Human Rights Watch says deaths during anti-jihadist operation in Moura ‘the worst atrocity in Mali in a decade’&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspected Russian mercenaries participated in an operation with Mali’s army in March in which about 300 civilian men were allegedly executed over five days, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eyewitnesses and local community leaders said hundreds of men were rounded up and killed in small groups during the anti-jihadist operation on 23 March in the central town of Moura. The rural town of about 10,000 inhabitants is in the Mopti region, a hotspot of jihadist activity that has intensified and spread to neighbouring countries in the Sahel region.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/russian-mercenaries-and-mali-army-accused-of-killing-300-civilians"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Babies in bunkers: the surrogate mothers and infants trapped in Ukraine – podcast</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/apr/05/babies-in-bunkers-surrogate-mothers-infants-trapped-ukraine-podcast</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sirin Kale reports on the surrogate mothers trapped in Ukraine – and the parents struggling to bring their babies home to safety&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although commercial surrogacy is illegal in most of the world, Ukraine is one of the few countries where it is still possible for a foreign couple to employ someone to carry a pregnancy. Each year, an estimated 2,000 to 2,500 children are born via surrogacy in Ukraine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sirin Kale&lt;/strong&gt; has been reporting on how the Russian invasion has complicated an already controversial practice, leaving babies stranded in bunkers and pregnant women suddenly trying to get out of the country.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/apr/05/babies-in-bunkers-surrogate-mothers-infants-trapped-ukraine-podcast"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>How fentanyl flooded the US and sent opioid deaths soaring</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/apr/04/how-fentanyl-flooded-the-us-and-sent-opioid-deaths-soaring-podcast</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Erin McCormick examines what’s driving a surge in drug overdose deaths in America – and why Black Americans, Indigenous Americans and young people have been so hard hit by the crisis&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the coronavirus pandemic, drug overdose rates in America surged. In 2020, overdoses were up by 31% in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The death rate increased most dramatically among Black and Indigenous Americans – rising by 49% and 43% respectively in just one year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experts say a large portion of this increase can be explained by the growing prevalence of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. The reporter &lt;strong&gt;Erin McCormick&lt;/strong&gt; has been investigating how the drug became so widespread in the US, and how its rise is rewriting the narrative of America’s opioid crisis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/apr/04/how-fentanyl-flooded-the-us-and-sent-opioid-deaths-soaring-podcast"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The race to mine the deep sea – podcast</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/mar/28/the-race-to-mine-the-deep-sea-today-in-focus-podcast</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the largest mining operations ever seen on Earth aims to despoil an ocean we are only just beginning to understand, says global environment editor Jonathan Watts&lt;br&gt;• &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/01/worlds-seabed-regulator-accused-of-reckless-failings-over-deep-sea-mining"&gt;Seabed regulator deciding deep sea’s future ‘behind closed doors’&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deep ocean is the least known environment on Earth. If you were to overcome the incredible undersea pressure and manage to dive down to its depths, it’s possible to see a whole different world of aquatic life including pale ghost octopuses and humpback black devils, which have their own built-in lanterns. Some have described the deep ocean as a display of living fireworks: biologists think there could be more bioluminescent creatures in the deep sea than there are any kind of other species on land.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Guardian’s global environment editor, &lt;strong&gt;Jonathan Watts&lt;/strong&gt;, has been reporting on the science of the deep ocean and the incredible riches that lurk there, including vast reserves of copper, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements such as atrium. He tells &lt;strong&gt;Hannah Moore &lt;/strong&gt;that it’s these materials that mining companies say are essential to start using if we want to stop relying on fossil fuels and move towards a greener future.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2022/mar/28/the-race-to-mine-the-deep-sea-today-in-focus-podcast"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Why are we burning our recycling? – video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2022/mar/24/why-are-we-burning-our-recycling-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Almost 90% of people in the UK recycle. But more than a tenth of everything we put out for recycling in this country is being burned. Why is this happening? Josh Toussaint-Strauss explores how local authorities have ended up incinerating so much of our recycling and what impact this is having on the environment&lt;br&gt;_______________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;•
The main image above was amended on 5 April 2022 to remove food and drink tins, as these are not incinerated&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2022/mar/24/why-are-we-burning-our-recycling-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Refugees in Calais: ‘house them like the Ukrainians’</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;After the Ukraine invasion, hundreds of people found themselves stranded in Calais as they tried to navigate the UK visa process. It put a spotlight on the city where many young refugees have been living outside all winter in harsh conditions, while NGOs struggled to provide the most basic services. The UK has given millions of pounds to France to try to prevent border crossings but people continue to attempt to get to Britain. Meanwhile, the residents of Calais complain of an increasingly militarised city. The Guardian's Maeve Shearlaw and Christopher Cherry report&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global/video/2022/mar/30/life-as-a-refugee-in-calais-the-ukraine-war-is-a-wake-up-call-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Drone footage shows deserted Shanghai as city remains in lockdown – video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/apr/04/drone-footage-show-a-deserted-shanghai-as-the-city-remains-in-lockdown-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Covid-19 cases in China’s most populous city of Shanghai have risen again as millions remain isolated at home under a sweeping lockdown. Drone footage shows the usually bustling city empty of people and traffic. Almost all 26 million residents are under some form of lockdown. Those who test positive are taken to large quarantine centres. Jane Polubotko, a 30-year-old who works for a local music tech company, was taken to the Shanghai&amp;nbsp;New International Expo Center after testing positive. 'We get food three times a day, the food is OK,' she said. 'There are no showers here and we're not allowed to receive any parcels from the outside world'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/03/covid-cases-rise-in-shanghai-as-millions-remain-in-lockdown"&gt;Covid cases rise in Shanghai as millions remain in lockdown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/01/covid-lockdown-extended-for-parts-of-shanghai-as-city-struggles-to-control-omicron"&gt;Covid lockdown extended in Shanghai as outbreaks put economy on the skids&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/apr/04/drone-footage-show-a-deserted-shanghai-as-the-city-remains-in-lockdown-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Video shared on the messaging platform Telegram appears to show stun grenades landing in a square of the town of Enerhodar, in Ukraine's southern Zaporizhzhia region. The footage shows clouds of white smoke and people running as loud bangs are heard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Local authorities said Russian forces dispersed a pro-Ukrainian rally after residents gathered in the centre of the town to talk and sing the Ukrainian national anthem. No casualties were reported but some participants were detained&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2022/apr/02/russia-ukraine-war-latest-russian-troop-withdrawal-noticeable-says-zelenskiy-us-gives-kyiv-300m-more-in-live"&gt;Russia-Ukraine war: latest updates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/apr/02/russian-forces-ukrainian-protesters-enerhodar-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>The last bar in Kyiv: Ukraine's Buena Vista holds on – video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/21/the-last-bar-in-kyiv-ukraines-buena-vista-holds-on-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Buena Vista Music Bar was one of Kyiv's most popular cocktail venues until war arrived. It has remained open despite the conflict engulfing the city, and is now a refuge for citizens, military and the press. People come for a hot meal, to meet others who have remained in the Ukrainian capital and to take in the day's news. Maks Leonov, the bar's owner, is determined to keep the doors open for as long as possible&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/21/the-last-bar-in-kyiv-ukraines-buena-vista-holds-on-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>’Humans are all the same’: the Hungarian border village helping Ukraine's refugee families - video</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/18/just-a-quiet-place-the-hungarian-border-village-helping-ukraines-refugees-video</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In the village of Beregsurány, on the Hungary-Ukraine border, a crowd of volunteers are tending to refugees flooding in, cooking them pancakes, and helping them to continue their journeys. In contrast to the refugee crisis of 2015, the Hungarian media is celebrating those helping, and welcoming the new arrivals. John Domokos meets the villagers and displaced Ukrainians of all ages, who've suffered traumas, and are coming to terms with life never being the same again&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/video/2022/mar/04/im-pregnant-i-left-my-husband-behind-the-people-forced-to-flee-putins-war-video"&gt;‘I’m pregnant, I left my husband behind’: the people forced to flee Putin's war in Ukraine - video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/21/the-last-bar-in-kyiv-ukraines-buena-vista-holds-on-video"&gt;The last bar in Kyiv: Ukraine's Buena Vista holds on – video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/18/just-a-quiet-place-the-hungarian-border-village-helping-ukraines-refugees-video"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Live in the mess that Putin has created’: a tour of Russian oligarch-linked properties in London</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;UK government sanctions have targeted Russian oligarchs’ investments in London property after Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The Guardian’s wealth correspondent, Rupert Neate, takes us on a short tour of some of the properties owned by or linked to people named in UK or EU sanctions lists. But will anyone answer the door?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/mar/17/live-in-the-mess-that-putin-has-created-a-tour-of-russian-oligarch-linked-properties-in-london"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘I couldn’t keep it inside’: ballet star Olga Smirnova on quitting the Bolshoi and fleeing Russia</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/apr/05/i-couldnt-keep-it-inside-ballet-star-olga-smirnova-on-quitting-the-bolshoi-and-fleeing-russia</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;After Putin invaded Ukraine, the Russian dancer denounced the war, left the Kremlin-allied company – and flew out of Moscow that night. As she prepares for her debut at the Dutch National Ballet, Smirnova speaks for the first time &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“My life totally changed in one day,” says Olga Smirnova. “In the morning, I did not know I was going to leave Russia. And in the night, I was sitting on the plane.” The 30-year-old dancer was one of the Bolshoi Ballet’s star ballerinas, a universally lauded performer at the peak of her powers, at a company that has long had close ties to the Kremlin. Earlier this month, she made a shock announcement: she had joined Dutch National Ballet (DNB), leaving Moscow behind. The move came shortly after &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/mar/16/a-line-has-been-drawn-olga-smirnova-quits-bolshoi-ballet-over-ukraine-war"&gt;Smirnova wrote a heartfelt post&lt;/a&gt; on the online messaging service Telegram about Russia’s attack on Ukraine. “With all the fibres of my soul I am against the war,” she wrote. “I never thought that I would be ashamed of Russia … But now the line is drawn on the before and after.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking via video call from Amsterdam, she explains her reason for leaving: “It did not feel safe.” Although there had been no direct threat from the authorities, she adds: “I just felt the atmosphere was tense in the country. International flights were being cancelled and there were rumours the borders would be closed, so we decided to leave. We didn’t want to risk it and wait longer.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/apr/05/i-couldnt-keep-it-inside-ballet-star-olga-smirnova-on-quitting-the-bolshoi-and-fleeing-russia"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘I’m going to get so roasted for this!’ The nail-biting University Challenge final – reviewed by last year’s winner</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/im-going-to-get-so-roasted-for-this-the-nail-biting-university-challenge-final-reviewed-by-last-years-winner</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Covering everything from voguing to ‘badass flags’, the grand final went down to the wire between Imperial and Reading – the first final not to feature an Oxbridge team in nearly a decade&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;‘Online trials, remote practices and virtual pub quizzes”: all challenges faced by teams trying to prepare for this year’s University Challenge. But Covid gave contestants one that was far harder than any of those – meeting your teammates for the first time on the day of filming, especially in a game that depends so much on knowing your team’s strengths. The entertainment has not suffered, though – from first round dabs to 235 point winning margins, and no fewer than five games separated by five points, this season has certainly not struggled for drama. The same is true of last night’s nail-biting grand final.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The road to the final is often long and, due to the show’s convoluted quarter-final rules, often winding too. Not, though, for the Imperial College London quartet of Max Zeng, Fatima Sheriff, Michael Mays and Gilbert Jackson, who swatted aside St John’s, Cambridge, Exeter, Kings College London, Reading and Emmanuel College, Cambridge to make it to this stage. Their opponents: Sylvian Jesudoss, Margaret Ounsley, Michael Hutchinson and Kira Bishop, the University of Reading team completing the lineup of the first final not to feature an Oxbridge team in nine years. They knocked out the Scottish trio of Strathclyde, Dundee and Edinburgh, as well as beating Birmingham and St John’s, Cambridge, with their only blemish being a defeat to Imperial. This wasn’t necessarily reason to be downhearted, though: two teams have won the title despite facing previous conquerors in the final. Ahead of last night’s grand final, the only thing we could guarantee was that the trophy would go to a captain called Michael.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/im-going-to-get-so-roasted-for-this-the-nail-biting-university-challenge-final-reviewed-by-last-years-winner"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Joe Messina obituary</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/apr/05/joe-messina-obituary</link>
      <description>Jazz-trained guitarist whose playing made a vital contribution to the sound of Motown hits of the 1960s&lt;p&gt;Throughout the 1960s, musicians and record producers puzzled over the precise formula used to create the Motown sound. Was it some special property of the microphones, or the way the snare drum was tuned, or even the kind of carpeting used in the company’s Detroit studio? One vital factor was overlooked, because its presence was almost subliminal: the rhythm guitar playing of Joe Messina, who has died aged 93.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A jazz-trained musician, Messina often did little more on a Motown record than play a chord on every backbeat, the second and fourth beats of each bar. But those downstrokes added a certain thickness and tone to beats already being given their weight by the snare drum and their cutting edge by a tambourine. The result was the kind of dancefloor propulsion heard on Martha and the Vandellas’ &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KhbM2mqhCQ" title=""&gt;Dancing in the Street&lt;/a&gt;, the Miracles’ &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWt4Hz1KGcQ" title=""&gt;Going to a Go-Go&lt;/a&gt;, the Four Tops’ &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3bksUSPB4c" title=""&gt;I Can’t Help Myself&lt;/a&gt; and Temptations’ &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWr_F4Gg8sY" title=""&gt;(I Know) I’m Losing You&lt;/a&gt;, the sort of hits that would give Motown a vast international following.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/apr/05/joe-messina-obituary"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/05/im-not-scared-of-war-any-more-death-and-the-penguin-author-andrey-kurkov-on-life-in-kyiv</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;On a brief visit to London, the Ukrainian novelist talks about why he has no intention of leaving his country – or ever again visiting Russia – his mixed feelings about Zelenskiy, and how he is still keeping his sense of humour&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even newly arrived in London, 1,300 miles away from Ukraine, Andrey Kurkov feels as if he’s in a war zone. His phone – its settings still monitoring the location west of Kyiv where he is based – buzzes constantly with &lt;a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ukrainian-tech-company-alarm-app-alerts-citizens-air-raids-2022-3?r=US&amp;amp;IR=T"&gt;warnings of air raids&lt;/a&gt;. Ukrainians have all downloaded these apps. The font and design are the same as our Covid apps. Over the course of our hour-long meeting, a siren blares out three times. How do you get used to that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He shrugs. “The main thing is that you are tired all the time. Everyone is sleeping badly. Sirens are going off five times a night. You don’t necessarily have to get up and leave the house when that happens. But you wake up and fall asleep constantly and try to decide whether you should leave the house …”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/05/im-not-scared-of-war-any-more-death-and-the-penguin-author-andrey-kurkov-on-life-in-kyiv"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Dodger: the Oliver Twist prequel that’s scary, starry and totally irresistible TV</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/dodger-the-oliver-twist-prequel-thats-scary-starry-and-totally-irresistible-tv</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This Dickens spin-off claps along like The Goonies and is so ace it’s been promoted from CBBC to BBC One. No wonder Christopher Eccleston and Julian Barratt were lining up to star&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of all the upsides that come with the BBC having two dedicated children’s channels, there is one small loss. Unless you have children or grandchildren, you are unlikely to accidentally discover a brilliant new kids’ show like, say, hungover students discovered Teletubbies in the 1990s. The only way that might happen now is if someone makes a children’s show so fantastic that it gets passed all the way up to the main channels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dodger is that show. Created by Rhys Thomas (best known for creating the &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2014/dec/10/if-theres-a-funnier-show-than-brian-pern-a-life-in-rock-ill-be-staggered"&gt;BBC mockumentary Brian Pern&lt;/a&gt;) and written with his wife, the actor Lucy Montgomery, Dodger is technically a prequel to Oliver. But it’s more than an origin story for the Artful Dodger. The show is loaded with acting talent – Christopher Eccleston plays Fagin, David Threlfall is the chief of police, with Julian Barratt, Alexei Sayle and Frances Barber popping up along the way. The whole thing clatters along breathlessly like an episodic version of The Goonies. Hence its promotion from CBBC to BBC One.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/05/dodger-the-oliver-twist-prequel-thats-scary-starry-and-totally-irresistible-tv"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘There’s genuine value in having a nice experience’: how businesses can reach savvy online shoppers</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Frictionless payments, ease of use and personalised loyalty schemes are the key to attracting shoppers online&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As consumers, we have increasingly grown more accustomed to shopping online – but we’ve also become more adept at it. Which means it isn’t enough for retailers to just cater for e-commerce consumers – they also need to take into account their savviness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“What the pandemic has done is accelerate the journey that we were already on,” says Kirsty Morris, managing director of specialist sales at Barclaycard Business. “If you look at the past 10 years, it’s not hard to see a shift in consumer behaviour toward being much more comfortable shopping online.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/how-businesses-can-reach-savvy-online-shoppers-theres-genuine-value-in-having-a-nice-experience"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>From contactless to digital wallets: how retail is adapting to new trends</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/from-contactless-to-digital-wallets-how-retail-is-adapting-to-new-trends</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recent shifts have changed not only what we buy and where we buy it, but also how we pay for our purchases – and now these consumer behaviours are here to stay&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The end of last year was instructive for retailers. The months of October to December have traditionally been retail’s golden quarter, covering the shopping periods of Black Friday and Christmas. But due to the pandemic, the last two golden quarters have been like no other. As well as facing a raft of new practical issues when it came to shopping, consumers and merchants alike re-evaluated how they wanted to live, work and shop in the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are valuable lessons for merchants to learn from the experience. Rob Cameron, CEO of Barclaycard Business, is ideally placed to offer insights into the consumer trends that have emerged and how they will continue to evolve.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/from-contactless-to-digital-wallets-how-retail-is-adapting-to-new-trends"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Cash is no longer king’: the rapid shift to e-commerce</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/cash-is-no-longer-king-the-rapid-shift-to-e-commerce</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Customer shopping habits have been completely reshaped in recent years, with the boom in global e-commerce market sales predicted to be here to stay. So what can retail businesses do to adapt?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The retail industry has undergone a radical transformation. Even before the Covid pandemic, the shift to e-commerce was completely reshaping how the industry operates and how customers shop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But lockdowns made these shifts more rapid and seismic, forcing businesses and consumers to shop online at record levels. The pandemic also expedited the adoption of in-store contactless payments. &lt;a href="https://www.ukfinance.org.uk/press/press-releases/contactless-now-accounts-more-quarter-all-uk-payments" rel="nofollow"&gt;Research&lt;/a&gt; from UK Finance, which represents the banking and finance industry, found that 27% of all payments in 2020 were contactless, up from 7% five years ago.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/cash-is-no-longer-king-the-rapid-shift-to-e-commerce"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>‘Delivery has become a competitive differentiator’: timeliness is essential in e-commerce</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/delivery-has-become-a-competitive-differentiator-timeliness-is-essential-in-e-commerce</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Customers have to receive their online orders quickly, but choice – such as exactly when their goods arrive – is equally important&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It used to be a rule of thumb that the less time someone had to wait for an online delivery, the more likely they were to commit to buying. But new ways of living and working mean that online norms are changing. For instance, next day delivery isn’t always optimum in a world of hybrid working that combines some days in the office and some days working from home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Assumptions and practices have been upended by the growth of online shopping as a result of the Covid pandemic. &lt;a href="https://home.barclaycard/press-releases/2021/12/Consumer-card-spending-grew-5-point-9-per-cent-in-2021/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Research&lt;/a&gt; by Barclaycard found that shopping online proved popular throughout 2021, growing 63% since 2019 compared with face-to-face retail spending, which saw a smaller rise of 0.6%. As a leading global payment business, Barclaycard processes nearly £1 in every £3 spent using credit and debit cards in the UK.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/retail-reimagined/2022/jan/13/delivery-has-become-a-competitive-differentiator-timeliness-is-essential-in-e-commerce"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>After 30 years of great sex, my husband’s new look is a total turn-off</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/apr/05/after-30-years-of-great-sex-my-husbands-new-look-is-a-total-turn-off</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;He has grown his grey hair long and I don’t find it attractive. Am I being shallow – or is it the menopause?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My husband of more than 30 years decided to grow his hair long about &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;three years ago. Sex has always been important to us and I have always felt strongly sexually attracted to him. But he is 59, with thin, fine grey &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hair and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, as far as I am concerned, this is not a good look&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. I’m struggling to maintain our previous spark. Am I just completely shallow and unreasonable to allow a small visual difference get in the way of a previously active and loving intimacy? Perhaps the issue is mine – I’m 51 and menopausal. Do other people experience this when one partner undergoes a significant physical change? Any suggestions on how to manage this would be appreciated; obviously he is his own man and if he likes the way he looks, I can’t change that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We can’t rationalise our way out of well established visual preferences. And perhaps you are someone who happens to be very much visually attuned. Some people respond more to erotic sounds and conversation, while others are turned on by scents and smells. You might want to gently request a change. On the other hand, lowered desire can also be a natural aspect of menopause, and dwindling hormones – rather than long hair – might be the culprit. With your physician, consider options to boost your libido.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pamela Stephenson Connolly is a US-based psychotherapist who specialises in treating sexual disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you would like advice from Pamela on sexual matters, send us a brief description of your concerns to &lt;a href="mailto:private.lives@theguardian.com"&gt;private.lives@theguardian.com&lt;/a&gt; (please don’t send attachments).

      <title>Nigel Slater’s recipe for miso mushroom soup</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/05/nigel-slaters-recipe-for-miso-mushroom-soup</link>
      <description>A light and healthy midweek treat with deep umami notes&lt;p&gt;Check 250g of mixed &lt;strong&gt;mushrooms&lt;/strong&gt;, trim their stalks and remove any growing medium from their roots. Separate them into those you need to slice, such as king oyster mushrooms, and those that cook in seconds, such as enoki or shimeji.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Slice the larger mushrooms into pieces no thicker than a £1 coin. Warm a griddle pan, very lightly oil the slices of mushroom, then place them down on the griddle and cook for a minute or two. They should have dark lines across them. Remove and set aside.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/05/nigel-slaters-recipe-for-miso-mushroom-soup"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Rail route of the month: Barcelona to Cádiz, the slow train right across Spain</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/apr/05/rail-route-of-the-month-barcelona-to-cadiz-the-slow-train-right-across-spain</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Our slow travel expert takes a 12-hour odyssey from Mediterranean Catalonia – via Cervantes, bandit and sherry country – to Atlantic Andalucía&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two long-distance trains leave Barcelona Sants station just after nine each morning. There’s the French TGV to Paris, 668 miles and almost seven hours to the north. The other train, much the more interesting of the two, is the 09.05 to Cádiz, a journey of 12 hours, covering 800 miles. This is one of Spain’s finest domestic train journeys, a great cross-country transect linking the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia with the Atlantic shores of Andalucía. The train manager on the four-carriage train to Cádiz captures it rather nicely when she says: “Welcome to the fast train to nowhere and the slow train to everywhere.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The beauty of this dawdling journey across Spain is that it honours distance and landscapes. Despite a couple of short, high-speed stretches, the train to Cádiz generally doesn’t hurry. There’s a meditative appeal in making a long journey through a litany of changing landscapes. When did you last have 12 hours to yourself? There’s time to think, just daydream and gaze out of the window. Along the way it swaps Catalonia’s restrained charm for the fiery warmth and sensual appeal of the Spanish south. Remember Byron’s The Girl of Cadiz, who was “born beneath a brighter sun”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2022/apr/05/rail-route-of-the-month-barcelona-to-cadiz-the-slow-train-right-across-spain"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>I’m locked out of my account, but Co-op Bank doesn’t answer</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/apr/05/locked-out-of-account-co-op-bank-emails</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;A reader says the lender is almost impossible to contact and it doesn’t accept emails or messages&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In August you &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/aug/10/what-is-going-on-at-the-co-op-banks-call-centres" title=""&gt;published a letter from a reader &lt;/a&gt;who found it almost impossible to contact the Co-operative Bank by phone. Nothing has changed. Both business and personal account lines are basically uncontactable, unless you have a few hours to spare.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was locked out of my business account for three weeks because I could not get hold of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;anyone. I now have a new key but can’t get through to activate it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/apr/05/locked-out-of-account-co-op-bank-emails"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Thomasina Miers’ recipe for Greek lamb, tomato and feta orzo | The new flexitarian</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/04/greek-lamb-orzo-tomato-feta-recipe-thomasina-miers</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Little nibs of pasta in a rich, gently spiced, silky sauce and topped with feta&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best thing about mince is its delicious ratio of fat to meat. As the fat melts, an exquisite flavour works its way into every bit of a sauce or dish, giving body, silkiness and essential vitamins and minerals. It’s also affordable and versatile, and at home in all sorts of dishes, from Italian meatballs to Thai stir-fries and spiced flatbreads. Buy mince with a high ratio of fat from a butcher you trust, and witness how it transforms a meal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;UK readers: &lt;a href="https://www.ocado.com/search?entry=10000100035&amp;amp;utm_source=guardian-feast&amp;amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;amp;utm_campaign=guardian-feast-recipe"&gt;click to buy these ingredients&lt;/a&gt; from Ocado&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/food/2022/apr/04/greek-lamb-orzo-tomato-feta-recipe-thomasina-miers"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Selman Turk: the exiled businessman who gave Prince Andrew money</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/05/selman-turk-exiled-businessman-prince-andrew</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Turk, accused of embezzlement, was once in Turkey’s elite, but now lives in London due to  association with Gülen movement&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Selman Turk married Nurhüda Cevahir in a lavish ceremony at a mansion overlooking the Bosphorus, a former Turkish deputy prime minister described the event as “the wedding of the two most distinguished families of Istanbul”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turk, now the subject of legal proceedings in London accusing him of embezzling almost £40m, was then working for Goldman Sachs, and the wedding at the Sait Halim Pasha Mansion reflected the families’ elite status. The mansion boasts golden columns, glitzy chandeliers and a view directly on to the water, a fitting venue for a bride believed to be the daughter of founders of a prominent Turkish construction firm.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/05/selman-turk-exiled-businessman-prince-andrew"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Sunflower shortage: why cooking oil has become so expensive</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/apr/05/food-price-rises-ukraine-war-cooking-oil</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Shoppers are in for a shock as the cost of kitchen essentials hits record highs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether it’s chips, stir-fry or curry on the menu, the financial shock from the war in Ukraine is being felt keenly in the kitchen as cooking oil prices hit record highs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cost had already rocketed even before Vladimir Putin’s invasion, but now vegetable oil goes for £1.30 a litre at the supermarket, up 23p, or 22%, on a year ago. Sunflower oil – of which Ukraine and Russia are major producers – is up sharply too, by 17p to £1.34 a litre, according to NielsenIQ Scantrack data.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/apr/05/food-price-rises-ukraine-war-cooking-oil"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Thailand dreams of high-end cannabis tourism after marijuana is legalised</title>
      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/thailand-dreams-of-high-end-cannabis-tourism-after-marijuana-is-legalised</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ideas ranging from wellness spas to profitable farms for rural communities could provide economic boost, say advocates&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Bangkok Hilton to Bridget Jones, Thailand’s reputation as one of the strictest countries in the world for drug offences is well documented. Even cannabis, considered a “&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/dec/02/reefer-gladness-as-un-reclassifies-cannabis-as-less-dangerous-drug"&gt;less dangerous&lt;/a&gt; drug” by the UN, carries the potential for a &lt;a href="http://www.thailand-lawyer.com/marijuana-arrest.html#:~:text=Charges%20for%20Possession%20of%20marijuana,of%20up%20to%2050%2C000%20baht."&gt;15 year&lt;/a&gt; prison term. But a recent announcement that it is to be delisted as a narcotic could trigger a transformation in how the drug is used inside Thailand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“A lot of people come here to get their faces fixed with plastic surgery. A lot of people come to do dental work and oral surgery, and for wellness retreats. Within that context, marijuana will integrate beautifully.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/thailand-dreams-of-high-end-cannabis-tourism-after-marijuana-is-legalised"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Patients sick with non-Covid related illnesses are being kept away from hospitals as anger grows over failure to control Omicron&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/coronavirus-outbreak"&gt;See all our coronavirus coverage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jia Ruiling’s* father has been enduring severe pain since 17 March. He has late-stage stomach cancer, but his hospital refused to treat him because Jia’s neighbourhood in Shanghai was under lockdown as a result of a handful of Covid cases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“We begged the hospital to accept him again and again,” Jia said. “At some point my father was in so much pain that he wanted to take his life. What can we do? Please, help us let the central government know.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/05/this-is-inhumane-the-cost-of-zero-covid-in-shanghai"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
