| US supreme court refuses to block radical Texas abortion law Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:50 PM PDT Court voted 5-4 to deny emergency appeal from abortion providers against law that bans abortions once medical professionals can detect cardiac activity A deeply divided supreme court has allowed a Texas law that bans most abortions to remain in force, stripping most women of the right to an abortion in the nation's second-largest state. The court voted 5-4 early on Thursday to deny an emergency appeal from abortion providers and others that sought to block enforcement of the law that went into effect Wednesday. Continue reading... |
| State of emergency in New York amid ‘historic’ flooding caused by remnants of Hurricane Ida Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:16 PM PDT Extreme weather promoted the first ever flash flood emergency warning for New York City from the National Weather Service The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued its first ever flash flood warning for the city of New York, as the remnants of Hurricane Ida brought heavy rain that flooded subway lines and streets in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey. Amid the downpour, the service said on Twitter, "this particular warning for NYC is the second time we've ever issued a Flash Flood Emergency (It's the first one for NYC). The first time we've issued a Flash Flood Emergency was for Northeast New Jersey an hour ago." Continue reading... |
| ‘It’s possible’: US military chief could work with Taliban on IS counter-terror strikes Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:06 PM PDT Mark Milley says it's possible the US will seek to coordinate on strikes in Afghanistan, though defence secretary Lloyd Austin remains sceptical US Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said it was "possible" the United States will seek to coordinate with the Taliban on counterterrorism strikes in Afghanistan against Islamic State militants or others. The extent and nature of a US-Taliban relationship, now that the war is over, is one of the key issues to be worked out. US military commanders have coordinated daily with Taliban commanders outside Kabul's international airport over the past three weeks to facilitate the evacuation of more than 124,000 people, but that was a matter of convenience for both parties.

| Big John, largest known triceratops skeleton, goes on display before auction Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:48 AM PDT Bones found in 2014 in what is now South Dakota described as 'miracle of nature and work of art' In its time, approximately 66m years ago, the triceratops, with its massive collared skull and three attacking horns, was one of the most dangerous and daunting of dinosaurs. Now the remains of one of the giants of the Cretaceous period, a herbivore despite its fearsome appearance, have gone on display in Paris before they are auctioned next month. Continue reading... |

| Staggering US wealth inequality heaps long-term harm on to minority children Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:00 PM PDT Black children have access to just 1 cent for every dollar enjoyed by their white counterparts, new research shows, and Hispanic kids fare little better African American children are suffering long-term disadvantages as a result of vast and growing disparities in the wealth of US families, with Black families with kids having access to barely 1 cent for every dollar enjoyed by their white counterparts. The shocking racial wealth gap between families, and its impact on Black and Hispanic kids, is revealed in groundbreaking new research by scholars on US inequality. It shows that the basic wealth levels of families from different racial and ethnic backgrounds have diverged to such a stark degree in the past three decades that the future prospects of children from lower-wealth groups are likely to be grossly compromised.

| Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:01 AM PDT Taiwan receives delivery organised by tech giants and a charity; likelihood of long Covid in double-jabbed adults who get coronavirus almost half
Long Covid was estimated to be adversely affecting the day-to-day activities of 643,000 people in the UK - around two-thirds of those with self-reported long Covid - with 188,000 reporting that their ability to undertake day-to-day activities had been "limited a lot", the ONS said. Fatigue was the most common symptom (experienced by 58% of those with self-reported long Covid), followed by shortness of breath (42%), muscle ache (32%) and difficulty concentrating (31%).
Joe Rogan, the host of Spotify's most popular podcast, has contracted Covid, he announced on Wednesday. He says he is feeling better – but his health update undoubtedly made health experts instantly sick. On Instagram, the podcaster, who professes not to be "an authority on health" but has discouraged young people from getting the coronavirus vaccine, said that he had "immediately thrown the kitchen sink" at his infection. Among the many medications he used, he said, was ivermectin, a drug used to deworm horses. Related: Joe Rogan has Covid – and his treatment will make health experts feel ill Continue reading... |
| From vaccine mandates to a chatting ban: how schools in the Asia Pacific are managing Delta Posted: 01 Sep 2021 06:26 PM PDT Outbreaks of the highly infectious Delta variant have led to closures in some countries, while others push to keep classrooms open As countries across Asia battle worsening Covid outbreaks, schools face particular challenges in keeping children and teachers safe. Some countries – determined that classrooms stay open – are relying on measures like masks, smaller groups and even bans on talking in class to limit infections. In others, schools remain shut. Here's a look at what countries around Asia and the region are doing to prevent Covid spread in schools: Continue reading... |

| Sydney Covid patient in Westmead hospital after overdosing on ivermectin and other online ‘cures’ Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:01 PM PDT Patient, who suffered vomiting and diarrhoea, part of trend hospital is seeing of people taking unproven substances
A Covid-positive person in Sydney was admitted to Westmead hospital suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea after overdosing on ivermectin and other drugs ordered online, as Australia's chief medical officer pleads with the public not to take unproven medicine. Westmead hospital's toxicologist, Naren Gunja, said the case was part of a growing trend the hospital was seeing of people taking unproven online cures for Covid. The patient didn't get severe toxicity from taking the ivermectin cocktail, "but it didn't help their Covid either", he said. Continue reading... |
| Michelle Yeoh: ‘Jackie Chan thought women belonged in the kitchen – until I kicked his butt’ Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:00 PM PDT The kung fu goddess talks about her most eye-popping stunts, her yearning to do another Crazy Rich Asians, and her outrageously enjoyable new Marvel movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Ten minutes into my conversation with Michelle Yeoh, there is a misunderstanding. We are discussing her character in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, an outrageously enjoyable new Marvel adventure about a San Francisco parking valet trying to ignore his destiny as a martial arts warrior. Yeoh plays Ying Nan, a beneficent gatekeeper who lives on the far side of an enchanted bamboo forest. Another character, played by Awkwafina, refers to Ying as "an awesome magical kung fu goddess". When I mention this, Yeoh thinks Awkwafina made the remark about her. "Oh, that's so sweet!" she says. "Of course, I already knew Awkwafina because we were both in Crazy Rich Asians." There's no need to point out the error, because it is perfectly true: Yeoh really is an awesome magical kung fu goddess. No one would argue with that. Not the millions who gasped as she skipped nimbly up walls and across rooftops in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Nor the ones who flocked to her early Hong Kong action movies with the likes of Jackie Chan and Cynthia Rothrock. Not the ones who were first introduced to her in the Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. And certainly not Oliver Stone, who called her "a woman of elegance and magnificent grace – the young grande dame of Hong Kong cinema". Nor Quentin Tarantino, who rushed to her bedside when she was in a body cast for a dislocated neck and cracked rib sustained after falling 18ft on to her head while filming The Stunt Woman in 1996. "He insisted on seeing me and sat on two pillows at my feet and recounted my movies frame by frame," she later said. Continue reading... |
| The Inseparables – read an extract from the newly discovered novel by Simone de Beauvoir Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:00 PM PDT Written 75 years ago but deemed 'too intimate' to publish in her lifetime, this exclusive extract from a lost novel by the author of The Second Sex, translated by Lauren Elkin, is based on the 'passionate and tragic' friendship she had as a girl with Elisabeth 'Zaza' Lacoin When I was nine years old I was a good little girl, though this hadn't always been the case. As a small child the adults' tyranny caused me to throw such tantrums that one of my aunts declared, quite seriously: "Sylvie is possessed by a demon." War and religion tamed me. Right away I demonstrated perfect patriotism by stomping all over my doll because she was made in Germany, though I didn't really care for her to begin with. I was taught that God would only protect France if I were obedient and pious: there was no escaping it. The other girls and I would walk through the basilica of Sacré-Cœur, waving banners and singing. I began to pray frequently, and I developed a real taste for it. Abbé Dominique, the chaplain at the Collège Adelaïde where we went to school, encouraged my ardour. Dressed all in tulle, with a bonnet made of Irish lace, I made my First Communion, and from that day forward, I set a perfect example for my little sisters. Heaven heard my prayers, and my father was appointed to a desk job at the Ministry of War because of his heart trouble.

| Has Covid ended the neoliberal era? | Adam Tooze Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:00 PM PDT The year 2020 exposed the risks and weaknesses of the market-driven global system like never before. It's hard to avoid the sense that a turning point has been reached If one word could sum up the experience of 2020, it would be disbelief. Between Xi Jinping's public acknowledgment of the coronavirus outbreak on 20 January 2020, and Joe Biden's inauguration as the 46th president of the United States precisely a year later, the world was shaken by a disease that in the space of 12 months killed more than 2.2 million people and rendered tens of millions severely ill. Today the official death tolls stands at 4.51 million. The likely figure for excess deaths is more than twice that number. The virus disrupted the daily routine of virtually everyone on the planet, stopped much of public life, closed schools, separated families, interrupted travel and upended the world economy. To contain the fallout, government support for households, businesses and markets took on dimensions not seen outside wartime. It was not just by far the sharpest economic recession experienced since the second world war, it was qualitatively unique. Never before had there been a collective decision, however haphazard and uneven, to shut large parts of the world's economy down. It was, as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) put it, "a crisis like no other". Continue reading... |
| Juul hooked an entire generation on nicotine – can it redeem its image? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 01:00 AM PDT The company has been shamed by health regulators, lost revenue and is the center of hundreds of US lawsuits. Now it has thrown in a last-ditch effort to continue sales More than a decade ago, Adam Bowen and James Monsees became friends over their smoke breaks at Stanford University. They were graduate students when they first conceived of the idea behind Juul: conventional cigarettes, like the ones they couldn't stop smoking, were bad not because of nicotine, but for all the other chemicals from burnt tar. The pair had a vision: design a device that would deliver solely nicotine, offer a better experience for smokers and help those who wanted to quit cigarettes. Continue reading... |
| ‘There’s a lot to unpack’: the dark, difficult life of Rick James Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:14 PM PDT In a new documentary, the defining funk artist's ups and many downs are examined with a clear eye and a lack of sugar-coating In the jarring new music documentary, Bitchin: The Sound and Fury of Rick James, we see a star torn in half. On the one hand, there's the Rick James who created some of the most popular, distinct and outrageous funk music of the late 70s and early 80s. On the other, there's a man so lost to his desire for sex, drugs and recognition that his life became an obstacle course laced with landmines. "Rick set up a situation where it would be tough not to have a bad outcome," said the film's director, Sacha Jenkins. "It could not have been easy to be Rick James."

| David Crosby on love, music and rancour: ‘Neil Young is probably the most selfish person I know’ Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:00 PM PDT At 80, the superstar musician has survived heroin addiction, illness and tragedy to hit an unprecedented run of musical form. He discusses the joy of fatherhood, the pain of falling out with bandmates – and why Joni Mitchell is still the greatest David Crosby has just turned 80. Congratulations, I say. "Thank you, man!" says the great singer-songwriter, trailblazer and trouble-maker. How did he celebrate? "Eighty years old is something you mourn, not celebrate," he says. But that, it turns out, is not quite true. Crosby admits he did celebrate. "We had a great time, man! My son and my wife made me a cake, then my son barbecued some steaks. We baked potatoes, made salads and feasted." Continue reading... |
| Scotland proposes Covid vaccine certificates for nightclub entry Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:20 AM PDT Nicola Sturgeon says certificates in limited scenarios could protect public health and boost vaccine take-up The Scottish government is proposing vaccine certificates for entry to nightclubs and large-scale indoor and outdoor events in an attempt to curb escalating Covid infections before the autumn. Announcing the plans, which MSPs will be asked to vote on next week, the first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said that – although expected with schools returning last month – "the scale of the increase [in infections] in recent weeks has been very concerning".

| Wildfire review – potent Irish drama about the legacy of violence Posted: 02 Sep 2021 01:00 AM PDT Cathy Brady's disquieting film about a mysterious return has an extra layer of melancholy, because it features the last performance by the late Nika McGuigan Two fiercely committed performances are the bedrock of this drama from writer-director Cathy Brady. Nora-Jane Noone plays Lauren, who lives near the Northern Irish border with her partner, and works in a vast Amazon-style fulfilment centre; and Nika McGuigan (from RTÉ's TV comedy Can't Cope Won't Cope) plays her troubled sister Kelly, returning home after a mysterious yearlong absence. This tense reunion revives painful memories of their mother, who took her own life when they were both children. Yet Kelly's homecoming also appears to relight the wildfire in the hearts of both women, as they challenge the menfolk thereabouts who are still in hock to the macho cult of terrorist violence. This sombre film has an extra shadow of sadness because it marks the final performance of McGuigan, who died of cancer in 2019 at the age of 33. There are powerful moments and surreally disquieting images in Wildfire, which incidentally reminded me in some ways of Pat Murphy's classic Northern Ireland drama Maeve from 1981, also about a young woman returning home to make a reckoning with the past. I especially liked the strange tableau of Lauren and Kelly in the pub dancing wildly to Van Morrison's Gloria on the jukebox and then finally stopping exhausted, as if emerging from a dream, to see a bunch of faintly sinister middle-aged guys glowering at them resentfully from the bar.

| Foreign Office playing catch-up on Afghanistan, says ex-ambassador Posted: 02 Sep 2021 12:41 AM PDT Sir Nicholas Kay says he feels shame over collapse to Taliban as he calls for lessons learned inquiry The former UK ambassador to Afghanistan Sir Nicholas Kay has said the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is playing catch-up with other countries as the Taliban assume power there, as he also became the first senior diplomat to call for a lessons learned inquiry into the collapse of the country into the hands of the militants. Kay predicted that the UK government would have to pay countries to help transit refugees from Afghanistan to the UK. Continue reading... |
| ‘Swazi gold’: grandmothers in Eswatini growing cannabis to make ends meet Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:00 PM PDT In the poverty-stricken kingdom, an older generation rely on growing marijuana to feed children orphaned by Aids epidemic In Nhlangano, in the south of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), the illegal farming of the mountainous kingdom's famous "Swazi gold" is a risk many grandmothers are ready to take. In what is known locally as the "gardens of Eden", a generation of grandparents are growing cannabis, many of them sole carers for some of the many children orphaned by the HIV/Aids epidemic that gripped southern Africa.

| Could New York’s ‘black mayonnaise’ problem sink a new 82-block development? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:00 AM PDT There's a century of toxic sludge hiding in the Gowanus Canal, but it may not be enough to stop a mega-developer from building on it In November, gigantic yellow excavators began scooping up the poisonous sludge colloquially known as "black mayonnaise" from the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York – a momentous step in a prolonged cleanup effort, 10 years after the waterway's designation as a Superfund site. But the mood is bittersweet. Longtime residents who campaigned for the Superfund label say they are now facing another environmental battle: a proposed mega-development in the neighborhood that would sit on top of a century's worth of toxic chemicals.

Helping to run probably the most scrutinised company in the world, she said Huawei would survive and eventually break free of the attempted US shackles by using its technical expertise to forge a path into new markets less dependent on the US, such as energy conservation, artificial intelligence and electric cars.

She gave all police and civilian staff five months to get vaccinated, but did not reveal the consequences for those who don't.

| Xi Jinping’s drive for economic equality comes at a delicate moment for China Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:00 PM PDT President wants to spread 'common prosperity' but Covid and material shortages could spell trouble For decades the aim in China has been the pursuit of growth, building the world's second-largest economy from a relative backwater on the international stage. Now, the promise from Beijing is to enlarge the economic pie and divide it well. President Xi Jinping announced plans this month to spread "common prosperity" in what is one of the world's most unequal major economies, signalling a shift from his predecessors' pursuit of growth and heralding a tough crackdown on wealthy elites – including China's burgeoning group of technology billionaires.

| UK has little option but to talk with the Taliban Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:27 AM PDT Analysis: Insurgents' cooperation is needed for evacuations, but PM could face criticism for engaging with them Boris Johnson's decision to dispatch a senior spy chief to talk directly to the Taliban in Qatar reflects an uncomfortable but necessary reality: the UK has little option but to engage with the insurgent group now in control of Afghanistan. Thousands of Afghans eligible for resettlement in the UK are believed to remain trapped in the country – UK ministers refuse to say how many – and hundreds of British nationals. With western troops withdrawn, it is only with Taliban cooperation that people will be able to leave safely and smoothly. Continue reading... |

| Most extreme abortion law in US takes effect in Texas – video Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:00 PM PDT The US state of Texas has enacted the strictest anti-abortion law in the country, banning all abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy – before most women know they are pregnant. The law gives private citizens the power to sue abortion providers and anyone who 'aids or abets' an abortion after six weeks. Citizens who win such lawsuits would be entitled to at least $10,000. There is concern this will spur abortion 'bounty hunters'
