| Pope Francis urges leaders to take ‘radical’ climate action at Cop26 Posted: 29 Oct 2021 12:36 AM PDT Pontiff calls for 'rethink on future of our world' in special message recorded on eve of global summit Pope Francis has urged world leaders to take "radical decisions" at next week's global environmental summit in a special message recorded for BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day.

| Macron’s re-election hopes may be driving Brexit fishing row, says Eustice Posted: 29 Oct 2021 01:42 AM PDT UK environment secretary accuses France of using 'inflammatory' rhetoric in escalating dispute Emmanuel Macron's hopes of being re-elected president may be driving the diplomatic row with France over post-Brexit access to Britain's fishing waters, the UK's environment secretary has claimed. George Eustice accused Paris of using "inflammatory" rhetoric in an escalating dispute over a shortfall in licences for French fishing vessels seeking to operate in the coastal waters of the UK and Jersey.

| Global activists gather at Rome G20 to demand tougher action on China Posted: 29 Oct 2021 01:26 AM PDT Beijing must not be let off hook over human rights abuses in return for climate cooperation, say legislators Legislators from around the world have gathered on the fringes of the G20 summit in Rome to protest against the presence of the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, and urge leaders not to let China off the hook over human rights abuses in return for Beijing's cooperation on the climate crisis. Many of those at the Rome counter-meeting have been banned from travelling to China as punishment for campaigning against Chinese repression in Xinjiang. Continue reading... |
| Franz Kafka drawings reveal ‘sunny’ side to bleak Bohemian novelist Posted: 29 Oct 2021 01:00 AM PDT Surreal drawings by author of The Trial – which he demanded be burnt after his death – to be published Stricken with self-doubt, paranoia and existential despair, the writings of Franz Kafka have taken generations of readers on what the author called "the descent into the cold abyss of oneself". A trove of 150 drawings, retrieved from a Swiss bank vault in 2019 after years of legal wrangling and presented to the public for the first time on Thursday, offers a more cheerful interpretation of the term "Kafkaesque", however.

| Evergrande averts default with interest payment – reports Posted: 28 Oct 2021 09:11 PM PDT Once China's top-selling developer, the company is reeling under more than $300bn in liabilities The Chinese property developer Evergrande has reportedly made an interest payment for an offshore bond before a grace period expired on Friday, narrowly averting a catastrophic default for the second time in a week. Evergrande, once China's top-selling developer, is reeling under more than $300bn in liabilities, fuelling worries about the impact of its fate on the world's second-largest economy as well as on global markets. It staved off a default last week by securing $83.5m for the last-minute payment of interest on a bond, and needed to make $47.5m in coupon payments to bondholders by Friday. Continue reading... |

| Macron’s anger over nuclear submarine deal linked to French election, Peter Dutton says Posted: 28 Oct 2021 09:32 PM PDT Australian defence minister's claim comes as French president and PM Scott Morrison speak for first time since rift over Aukus deal • Get our free news app; get our morning email briefing Peter Dutton says sustained expressions of outrage from the French president, Emmanuel Macron, may be connected to the European country's looming national election rather than the cancellation of a $90bn submarine contract. Australia's defence minister told the Nine network a call on Thursday night between Macron and the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, had been "productive". The conversation was the first time the two leaders have spoken since the unveiling of the Aukus pact sent diplomatic relationship between Canberra and Paris into freefall. Continue reading... |
| Research reveals rapes and assaults admitted to by male UK students Posted: 28 Oct 2021 11:00 PM PDT In study of 554 university students, 63 admit to rape, sexual assault and other aggressive forcible acts The first survey examining sexual violence by male UK students has shone a light on misogyny at universities, with scores admitting to rape, sexual assault and other forcible acts. Of the 554 male students surveyed, 63 reported that they had committed 251 sexual assaults, rapes and other coercive and unwanted incidents in the past two years, according to researchers at the University of Kent.

| Conversion therapy to be restricted but not banned in proposed bill Posted: 28 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT Equalities minister Liz Truss will consult on plans to allow counselling for non-vulnerable adults Consenting adults should be able to undergo so-called conversion therapy, the government has recommended. Setting out proposals for how they plan to crack down on "coercive and abhorrent" practices that seek to change sexual orientation or gender identity, the Government Equalities Office said: "We recognise there is a plurality of experience in this area and that there are adults who seek counselling to help them live a life that they feel is more in line with their personal beliefs."

| ‘Astounding’ Roman statues unearthed at Norman church ruins on route of HS2 Posted: 28 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT Heads of man, woman and child found on site of Stoke Mandeville church built in 1080 and abandoned 800 years later Statues of a Roman man, woman and child have been uncovered by archaeologists at an abandoned medieval church on the route of the HS2 high-speed railway. The discovery was "utterly astounding", according to Rachel Wood, the lead archaeologist at the site in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. "They're really rare finds in the UK," she said.

| Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:02 AM PDT Whole households to self-isolate in Wales if one person tests positive; former UK prime minister says UK government has not grasped 'urgency' of global vaccine distribution
Bulgaria has recorded another 5,178 new Covid cases in the last 24 hours. Official data shows that there are 7,553 patients in hospital, 656 of them being in intensive care. Yesterday a meeting of health authorities agreed to transform Lozenets Hospital in Sofia into an intensive care centre for Covid-19 treatment. Deputy health minister Dimitar Petrov said the government's intention was to open 30 new beds every 3-4 days in the next two weeks. In addition, students will not be returning to in-person classes next week, with primary school pupils expected to be back at school on 8 November. The truth of the matter is we wish the UK Government took a more precautionary approach to international travel. But when they choose to change the rules in England, in any practical sense it's impossible for us to do anything different in Wales, because almost everybody from Wales who travels abroad or who returns to this country from abroad comes in through English ports and airports, and then travels on to Wales. So in a practical sense, we can't make anything different happen there, although we wish the UK Government took a different approach. What we can do, when we can do things differently, when we have decisions that we can make effectively in Wales, then we take them. We do have opportunities to discuss this with the UK Government. I have for a number of weeks been urging them to move to Plan B. It would certainly help us here in Wales to have a single communication that says across England and Wales we are all taking this virus as seriously as we need to take it as we go into the autumn and the winter.

| Gordon Brown urges rich countries to airlift surplus Covid vaccines to world’s poorest Posted: 29 Oct 2021 12:52 AM PDT Ex-UK PM and almost 200 global figures write to G20 summit host calling for 240m vaccines to be shared Gordon Brown has called on the British government and other G20 countries to urgently arrange a military airlift of surplus Covid vaccines to poorer countries before they expire, saying it is their "moral responsibility" to do so. The former prime minister has organised a letter from more than 160 former world leaders and global figures calling for richer countries to send 240m vaccines stored in the US, Europe and Canada to countries struggling to vaccinate their populations.

| Jabs do not reduce risk of passing Covid within household, study suggests Posted: 28 Oct 2021 09:00 AM PDT Research reveals fully vaccinated people are just as likely to pass virus on to those they share a home with People who are fully vaccinated against Covid yet catch the virus are just as infectious to others in their household as infected unvaccinated people, research suggests. Households are a key setting for the transmission of Covid infections (pdf), with frequent prolonged daily contact with an infected person linked to an increased risk of catching the virus.

| Cop26: Meet nine fashion designers making real change Posted: 28 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT From upcycling to educating, Fashion Open Studio has enlisted nine pioneering designers for a series of online workshops to mark the United Nation Climate Change Conference Is it actually possible to reduce the fashion industry's impact on the environment? Nine pioneering designers from five continents are showing that it is. Masterminding a series of solutions to some of the challenges facing their own communities, they demonstrate what we can learn from local indigenous knowledge and how to work within the limits of our natural resources. In the lead up to Cop26, the designers were asked to respond to the climate change talks' themes of adaptation, resilience and nature for a series of online workshops created by Fashion Open Studio (the initiative set up by Fashion Revolution) in partnership with the British Council. If you happen to be in Glasgow between November 4 to 11, you can take part in workshop events around the city, or to watch previous events and find out about upcoming workshops online, check out fashionopenstudio.com/events.

| Billy Bragg: ‘Boris was trolling me the whole time. We’ve got a wind-up merchant as PM’ Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT As the bard of Barking tours a new album, he reflects on modern politics, his scraps with the Daily Mail and why he could do with listening a bit more In an Exeter pub on a wet Monday morning, Billy Bragg is talking about a day at the Glastonbury festival in 2000. The BBC had signed up an unusual guest for its coverage – Boris Johnson. In the footage (still online), Johnson – then a year from becoming an MP – forgets to get off the train, gets a comedy henna tattoo in Sanskrit, and growls the Clash's Bankrobber to Bragg in the car: "It's your philosophy, isn't it?" he says. "Leftwing approval of theft from capitalists?" "He was trolling me the whole time," Bragg remembers. "That's what his MO still is. A wind-up merchant who became prime minister! How the fuck did that happen?" He shrugs. "Modern politics needs things he doesn't have: accountability and empathy." Continue reading... |
| Experience: I own England’s most haunted cottage Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT Lights switched on and off, and the temperature would suddenly change In 1999, I was in my mid-40s and had just escaped from my stressful and joyless career as a management consultant. I needed a project. I loved small period buildings and decided to throw my energy into restoring one; I started combing through auction catalogues in search of a place. Having failed to win a number of London houses that didn't much inspire me anyway, I cast the net wider. My father would often give me advice over the phone. He persuaded me to focus on Derbyshire, a county my family has a strong connection to, and helped me identify what my ideal house would be like: stone-built, a south-facing garden, with at least two bedrooms and a workshop. Continue reading... |

| Kristen Stewart on playing Diana: ‘I believe in a lingering energy. I took her in’ Posted: 28 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT The actor is an uncanny likeness, but – with its creepy equerries and mountains of pastries – director Pablo Larraín has created a gothic horror out of the princess's life. They tell us how they made Sandringham her Overlook Hotel Spencer, the new film about Princess Diana, is very definitely not The Crown. Not for director Pablo Larraín the comforting grandeur of Peter Morgan's Netflix series, whose tapestried locations are the scene of inner turmoil as private desires hit the buffers of public duty. Spencer, the imagined story of which takes place over three ghastly days at Sandringham in 1991, veers far more gothic. The Norfolk stately home becomes a kind of Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick's horror classic The Shining, through whose endless, confusing corridors the camera harries and chivvies Kristen Stewart's Diana as her psyche crumbles. Stewart and Larraín are with me in a Zoom room: the director has his camera off, a mere black square and a courteous Chilean voice; Stewart, a relaxed, enthusiastic presence in a depersonalised domestic space, wearing a baggy red top, her hair loose and blond.

| Sarah Moss: ‘The rhetoric during lockdown was terrifying’ Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT The British author on isolation, community and writing a novel set during the coronavirus pandemic Last December, in the depths of lockdown, Sarah Moss picked up a copy of Winter Papers, an annual anthology of new Irish writing. The 46-year-old and her family had recently moved from Coventry to Dublin, and although Irish lockdown was less restrictive than the Britain version, Moss was feeling, she says, "completely frozen". For nine months, the pandemic had been impossible to absorb, not only personally, but as a writer – until it showed up in Winter Papers. "It was only a glimpse of it in essays and stories," Moss says, but for the first time she thought: "This is a thing we can write about. And it was such a relief." The permission given in that moment triggered an extraordinary burst of activity. Moss's eighth novel, The Fell, was written in a frenzied few months and centres on the story of two neighbours in a remote village in the Peak District. At the beginning of the novel, Kate, a single mother of a teenage son, and her elderly neighbour, Alice, are both struggling with lockdown, not just the logistics but the guilt of complaining when they are supposed to be grateful simply for being alive. It's perfect material for Moss, who in previous novels has examined the interplay between human systems and the natural world – specifically, how seemingly small domestic manoeuvres can throw one up against the vast planes of history, in ways tragic and absurd. In The Fell, Alice wonders if "maybe she'll die without ever touching another human", but also whether it's OK to put frivolous items such as Hula Hoops on the list when Kate offers to do her shopping for her. Kate, meanwhile, asks, "When did we become a species whose default state is shut up indoors?" and, in an action that triggers the drama of the novel, sneaks out of the house for a rule-breaking walk. The Fell is a funny, savage novel about the very recent past, and seems to do the impossible: hold a story that is still unfolding immobile enough to integrate into fiction. Continue reading... |
| Streaming’s dirty secret: how viewing Netflix top 10 creates vast quantity of CO2 Posted: 29 Oct 2021 12:00 AM PDT Explosion in popularity of shows on Disney+ to YouTube raises question of impact on planet Streaming has a dirty secret. The carbon footprint produced by fans watching a month of Netflix's top 10 global TV hits is equivalent to driving a car a hefty distance beyond Saturn. The world's largest video-sharing site, YouTube, is responsible for emitting enough carbon dioxide annually to far surpass the equivalent greenhouse gas output of Glasgow, the Scottish city where world leaders will be gathering from Sunday at the Cop26 climate summit.

| ‘A devastating impact’: Angela Rayner’s statement on receiving threats Posted: 28 Oct 2021 11:29 AM PDT Full text of the deputy Labour leader's words after a man was sentenced for sending a threatening email I have been off work over the last couple of weeks after losing a close loved one. Grief is the burden we bear for love and losing someone close is something that we all experience at some point in our lives, but that knowledge doesn't make it any easier when it happens to you. So I can't imagine what the family of Sir David Amess are going through, but I know they will be hurting. I send my heartfelt condolences to them. Sir David was a fine parliamentarian, a proud advocate for his constituents and above all such a kind, generous and warm-hearted man. He will be missed on all sides of the house. As a society we need to offer better support to people who are going through bereavement, loss and other traumatic or difficult experiences in their personal lives. I hope that the fact that I took time to deal with a bereavement will encourage other people to do the same when they are going through grief or trauma. Continue reading... |
| ‘Apocalypse soon’: reluctant Middle East forced to open eyes to climate crisis Posted: 28 Oct 2021 11:00 PM PDT With the region warming twice as fast as the rest of the world but oil spoils keeping regimes in power, leaders are in a bind Northern Oman has just been battered by Cyclone Shaheen, the first tropical cyclone to make it that far west into the Gulf. Around Basra in southern Iraq this summer, pressure on the grid owing to 50C heat led to constant blackouts, with residents driving around in their cars to stay cool. Kuwait broke the record for the hottest day ever in 2016 at 53.6, and its 10-day rolling average this summer was equally sweltering. Flash floods occurred in Jeddah, and more recently Mecca, while across Saudi Arabia average temperatures have increased by 2%, and the maximum temperatures by 2.5%, all just since the 1980s. In Qatar, the country with the highest per capita carbon emissions in the world and the biggest producer of liquid gas, the outdoors is already being air conditioned. Continue reading... |
| Texas shocked by killing of Muslim motorist who pulled into man’s driveway Posted: 29 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT
Controversial laws in Texas that can effectively allow homeowners to kill people coming on to their property are to be thrown into the spotlight after the shocking case of a Moroccan man who was shot dead after pulling over in the driveway of a San Antonio-area house, possibly because he was lost. Adil Dghoughi, 31, was killed earlier this month by the homeowner Terry Turner, who has been charged with murder. Continue reading... |

| ‘Part of the love circle’: 10 memorable moments from Gladys Berejiklian’s Icac appearance Posted: 29 Oct 2021 01:49 AM PDT Former NSW premier faces a barrage of questions about her former secret boyfriend Daryl Maguire
Roughly a month after resigning as New South Wales premier, Gladys Berejiklian fronted the Independent Commission Against Corruption and faced a barrage of questions about her former secret boyfriend and Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire, whether she gave him favourable treatment, or failed to act on suspicions he was involved in corrupt conduct. Bombshell is an overused word. But today's hearing contained at least 10. Continue reading... |

The girl was impregnated after being repeatedly raped and suffering other sexual abuse by the father of her stepfather in the town of Yapacaní, in Bolivia's eastern Santa Cruz region.

| We know who caused the climate crisis – but they don’t want to pay for it | Vanessa Nakate Posted: 28 Oct 2021 11:00 PM PDT My country, Uganda, and much of Africa has been battered by climate-related disasters. Cop26 is a chance for the biggest polluters to set up a compensation fund While walking with a friend through central Kampala last month, we saw a police truck go by, a body in the back. It's a sight that has become more common in Uganda. The life of that person, and many others, was taken by a heavy downpour in my home city. Uganda has been battered by floods in recent years, as well as droughts and plagues of locusts. So much has been damaged and lost here as a result of the climate crisis. Continue reading... |
| Wealthy nations urged to meet $100bn climate finance goal Posted: 28 Oct 2021 08:55 AM PDT Countries must close gap on funding target for developing countries says European Commission president The European Commission president has urged wealthy countries to close the gap to meet a $100bn annual climate finance target for developing nations a year earlier than expected. Speaking before crucial meetings on the climate emergency at the G20, and at the UN Cop26 talks, the president, Ursula von der Leyen, said rich countries had "to try harder" to close the shortfall in climate finance.

| Call for action on TB as deaths rise for first time in decade Posted: 28 Oct 2021 04:09 AM PDT Tuberculosis campaigners tell G20 leaders $1bn is needed annually for vaccine research to reverse decades of underfunding A group of tuberculosis survivors are calling for more funding and action to find new vaccines, after the numbers dying of the infection rose for the first time in 10 years. In 2020, 1.5 million were killed by TB and 10 million infected, according to the World Health Organization. Campaigners want world leaders to invest $1bn (£730m) every year into vaccine research, spurred on by the momentum from the Covid jab development. Continue reading... |
| Specter of problematic crown prince looms over Biden’s Saudi Arabia policy Posted: 28 Oct 2021 01:30 AM PDT The president has snubbed Mohammed bin Salman, but the ruler recently labelled a 'psychopath' is a problem that won't go away When Joe Biden was recently asked whether gas prices would come down soon, the US president offered a cryptic explanation of how his strained relations with Saudi Arabia were at least partly to blame for the price at the pump. Gas prices were high because oil-rich nations in the Middle East were not increasing the supply of oil. That was happening, Biden suggested, in retaliation for his personal decision to not speak with – nor acknowledge – Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as his counterpart. Continue reading... |
