| Facebook putting profit before public good, says whistleblower Frances Haugen Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:12 AM PDT Internal papers show firm is lying about making progress against hate, violence and misinformation, ex-employee says A former Facebook employee has accused the company of putting profit over the public good, after coming forward as the whistleblower who leaked a cache of internal documents that have placed the tech firm in its worst crisis since the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Frances Haugen, 37, said the thousands of documents she had collected and shared with the Wall Street Journal and US law enforcement showed the company was lying to the public that it was making significant progress against hate, violence and misinformation.

| Aung San Suu Kyi asks to reduce court time due to ‘strained’ health Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:28 AM PDT Junta pursue charges against ousted Myanmar leader as warnings grow of worsening conditions for displaced people Aung San Suu Kyi has requested her court sessions be held every two weeks rather than every week on health grounds, according to her lawyer, as hearings for a series of legal charges filed against her by Myanmar's junta continue. The 76-year-old, who faces charges ranging from corruption to the illegal possession of walkie-talkies, requested the change, saying "she had to spend all weekdays at court so her health conditions seemed strained", her lawyer Khin Maung Zaw said in a statement. The judge said he would make a decision next week. Continue reading... |
| David Frost issues veiled threat to ditch Northern Ireland protocol Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:40 AM PDT Brexit minister tells Tory conference that UK 'cannot wait for ever' for EU to renegotiate arrangement The UK government has issued a veiled threat to ditch the Northern Ireland protocol sooner rather than later, warning it "cannot wait for ever" for the EU to respond to its demands to rewrite the Brexit arrangement. The Brexit minister, David Frost, said he had been waiting since July for a formal request for substantial changes to the protocol, which the UK has largely suspended over objections to checks on a range of goods including sausages.

| Shares in China property firm Evergrande suspended pending ‘major transaction’ Posted: 04 Oct 2021 12:13 AM PDT Trading halt sends markets Asian stocks falling amid speculation debt-laden group will sell off property management arm Trading in shares of debt-laden China Evergrande has been suspended by the Hong Kong exchange after the enormous Chinese developer missed a key bond interest payment last week, its second offshore debt obligation in a week.

| India: nine people die in farmers’ protests against new laws Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:06 AM PDT Conflicting accounts about how violence broke out around vehicles reportedly part of minister Ajay Mishra's convoy Nine people have been killed in violent clashes during a protest by hundreds of farmers in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, in a deadly escalation of year-long demonstrations against contentious agriculture laws.

| Pleas for clemency grow ahead of Ernest Lee Johnson’s execution Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:00 AM PDT Missouri Democrats Cori Bush and Emanuel Cleaver II join Pope in calls to governor for sentence to be set aside Pleas for clemency on behalf of convicted murderer Ernest Lee Johnson are growing more frantic ahead of his scheduled execution by lethal injection in Missouri on Tuesday after the Pope and two members of the US Congress issued calls for the sentence to be set aside. In a statement last week, Pope Francis requested clemency for Johnson in a letter to Missouri governor Michael Parson. The letter did not deny that "grave crimes such as his deserve grave punishment" but called on Parson to consider "the simple fact of Mr Johnson's humanity and the sacredness of all human life." If carried out it will be the first execution by Missouri since May 2020. Continue reading... |
| New Japan PM to call snap election on 31 October Posted: 03 Oct 2021 11:57 PM PDT Fumio Kishida takes advantage of honeymoon period after being approved by parliament as country's leader Japan's new prime minister, Fumio Kishida, has decided to seek an early mandate from the country's voters, using his first day in office to call an election for the end of the month, several weeks earlier than expected. Kishida, who was approved by parliament as the country's leader on Monday, surprised many pundits who believed he would give his Liberal Democratic party (LDP) more time to regroup after a disappointing year under his predecessor, Yoshihide Suga.

| Trump seeking to elevate Republicans who refuse to accept Biden victory Posted: 04 Oct 2021 01:00 AM PDT Ex-president has endorsed Republican secretary of state candidates who would wield enormous power over elections Donald Trump and allies are seeding one of their most dangerous efforts to undermine US elections to date, seeking to elevate candidates who refuse to accept Joe Biden's victory in 2020 to crucial offices where they could do significant damage in overturning the 2024 elections. The former president has endorsed several Republican candidates running to be the secretary of state, the chief election official, in their respective states. If elected, these candidates would wield enormous power over elections, and could both implement policies that would make it harder for Americans to cast a ballot and block the official certification of election results afterwards. Ten of the 15 candidates running for secretary of state in the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada have either said the 2020 results were stolen or that they need to be further investigated, Reuters reported earlier this month.

| Russia reports record Covid deaths as official toll reaches 210,000 Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:23 AM PDT More than 25,000 new cases on Monday as country battles Delta wave with low vaccine takeup Russia has reported record Covid deaths for four of the past six days, as it experiences a devastating fourth wave caused by the infectious Delta variant and a low vaccination rate of under 30% of the adult population.

Calculations based on publicly available mortality data suggest that the "excess death" toll between the start of the pandemic and July this year is nearly 600,000. Continue reading... |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:28 AM PDT England's traffic light system for international travel replaced by one red list; Jacinda Ardern says New Zealand will 'transition' towards new policy
The UK chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has not ruled out unemployment rising now the furlough scheme has ended. But he told Sky News this morning that the government is "throwing the kitchen sink" at helping people find new roles and learn new skills. When it was put to him that there might be "significant rises" in unemployment now the scheme has come to a close, he said: "I said right at the beginning of this crisis it wasn't going to be possible for me, or quite frankly any chancellor, to save every single person's job.

| Signs of encouragement as US sees drop in Covid cases and hospitalizations Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT CDC data shows 29% decrease in cases over two weeks in September but experts say virus remains a significant threat The United States has seen a dramatic drop in the number of Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations in recent weeks, a trend that epidemiologists see as an encouraging sign that the Delta wave of the virus has peaked nationally. The seven-day average of daily new cases in America dropped from about 151,000 on 14 September to about 106,000 on 29 September, a 29% decrease, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There will also be changes to the testing requirements when returning from a non-red-list country, if fully vaccinated. Continue reading... |
| ‘We wanted to make history’: Michael Jackson’s bizarre year in Bahrain Posted: 04 Oct 2021 04:00 AM PDT In 2005, a Bahraini prince welcomed the deposed king of pop and wrote a Hurricane Katrina charity single with him. But Jackson's erratic behaviour sent plans off course Omar Shaheen remembers the moment well. In early 2005, the young Bahraini was driving when he received a surreal job offer: the chance to work with Michael Jackson. "It was totally out of left field," he recalls. "It is a pinch-yourself kind of moment when you get a call to say you're going to be working with someone who you idolise and is the biggest superstar of all time." The request came from Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad al-Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain, who asked Shaheen to set up a state-of-the art recording studio on his grounds in anticipation of the star's arrival. "There are so many adjectives to use," Shaheen says of what was to unfold. "It was bizarre. It was crazy." Continue reading... |

| The wonder stuff: what I learned about happiness from a month of ‘awe walks’ Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:00 AM PDT Feeling down? You need to experience more awe, psychologists say. So I set off every day to explore my local area, leaving my phone behind I am in the middle of a cloud, halfway up a steep pike, and on a mission to get some awe. I am here thanks to a new study, which found that by paying close attention to our surroundings as we walk, we can get our happy chemicals pumping and enhance overall wellbeing. That sounded pretty good, so I find myself in the middle of nowhere on an oddly misty, humid day. Dacher Keltner, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks I am in the right place. "It's hard to think of a single thing that you can do for your mind and body that's better than a little dose of awe," he says. It was Keltner and a team of researchers who published a paper that found that awe can reduce stress, help inflammation, increase creativity and sociability and make you happy. "To me, that all says we urgently need to find awe." Continue reading... |
| How we met: ‘I sent him a Facebook message by accident’ Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:00 AM PDT Joe, 32, and Beth, 31, met in 2014 after a message she was sending to one of her friends went astray. They now live together in Wiltshire with their puppy, Hans When Joe was at university in 2010, his housemate went through a phase of logging into his Facebook page to play practical jokes. "He used to add random people as friends on my account. I think he thought it was funny because it made me look lonely," he says. One day his housemate sent a friendship request to Beth, who accepted. "I saw that Joe was from Devizes in Wiltshire, which is near me, so I assumed I knew him from a night out," she says. They never spoke, and Beth soon forgot all about it. Joe had no idea she was on his friend list until April 2014, when she contacted him by accident. "I was arranging to meet my friend Jo and sent it to the wrong person," says Beth. "Joe got in touch to tell me I'd made a mistake." They struck up a conversation, and tried to work out how they knew each other. "Neither of us had any idea how we'd met. We didn't work out what happened until years later," laughs Joe.

| ‘Soul of the town’: Mostar’s beloved bridge inspires tale of romance and war Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:51 AM PDT Igor Memic's award-winning drama Old Bridge, staged at the Bush theatre in London, charts teenage romance at a time 'when the world stopped spinning' The bridge in the middle of Mostar is the spiritual and social heart of the city. It's where people meet and gossip, snatch a first kiss or dive into the waters of the river below. The Bosnian city takes its name from the arched Ottoman-era bridge and it became a terrible symbol for the shattering of Yugoslavia when it was destroyed by Croat paramilitaries in 1993, though it has since been rebuilt. "It's the soul of the town," says Igor Memic, whose play Old Bridge, which won the Papatango prize for new writing last year, is now in rehearsals at the Bush theatre in London. Memic is from Mostar himself. His family came to the UK in 1992, "just 10 days before things popped off". He doesn't think of himself as a Bosnian playwright. Immigrant identity is more complex than that and his mother "left it up to me to discover who I was and who we were". Continue reading... |
| ‘I don’t play music when I have sex – maybe I should’: Michelle Visage’s honest playlist Posted: 03 Oct 2021 11:00 PM PDT The RuPaul's Drag Race judge puts together the soundtrack of her life At my 10th birthday party, I got not one but three copies of Andy Gibb's album Shadow Dancing. He was so hot! So sexy! But since I had three copies, I didn't need to buy it. The first one that I used my own money to buy was Kenny Rogers's The Gambler. It was No 1 on the radio, and I wanted that record. Continue reading... |
| Met police tweets may encourage young people to carry knives, research finds Posted: 03 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT Force published about 2,100 seized knife images in a year, which experts say could be counterproductive Young people may be nudged into carrying knives by the police, research has found, as a new count showed the Metropolitan police circulated more than 2,100 images of seized knives on Twitter in a year. In the same period, three leading violent-crime prevention charities – Hope Collective, the Ben Kinsella Trust and Dwaynamics – circulated two images of knives between them, according to research by the Green party in the London assembly.

| Angeliena review – car park worker dreams of getaway in shallow South African drama Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:00 AM PDT Thin characterisation and a superficial critique of wealth inequality post-apartheid keep Uga Carlini's fiction in first gear The colourful opening of Uga Carlini's Angeliena suggests a giddy ride awaits: the camera follows a suitcase plastered with travel stickers moving along a conveyor belt at an airport. But such vibrant detail only points up the film's lack of emotional substance. A parking attendant for a posh hospital in South Africa, Angeliena (Euodia Samson) dreams of travelling the world, she adorns her little shack with tourist posters from faraway lands. At work, Angeliena brings a glow to the austere parking lot, pinning red roses that she grows herself to the windscreen wipers of fancy SUVs. Such sweet-natured actions are presumably intended to endear Angeliena to us, yet reduce her to a unidimensional worker with a heart of gold. The thinness of the characterisation is made more pronounced by the cartoonishly evil Dr Mitchell (Colin Moss), the hospital owner and Angeliena's antagonist, a spewer of Trumpian one-liners. Ludicrously, the film takes a tone-deaf turn when Angeliena is revealed to be suffering from an unnamed muscular atrophy that motivates her to finally embark on her world trip. Out of the blue, she develops facial tics. The only affecting sequences are the few-and-far-between gatherings between Angeliena and her eccentric female friends. Continue reading... |
| First Thing: leaders’ financial secrets exposed in biggest ever offshore leak Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:30 AM PDT Millions of previously secret files could embarrass more than 100 billionaires and 30 world leaders. Plus, US reveals big Covid drop-off Good morning. The secret deals and hidden assets of some of the world's richest and most powerful people have been revealed in the biggest trove of leaked offshore data in history. Royal connection. The files show Azerbaijan's ruling Aliyev family has traded close to £400m of UK property in recent years. One of their properties was sold to Queen Elizabeth II's crown estate, which is now looking into how it came to pay £67m to a company that operated as a front for the family that runs a country routinely accused of corruption. The Aliyevs declined to comment. Russian kleptocracy. The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, whom the US suspects of having a secret fortune, does not appear in the files by name. But numerous close associates do, including his best friend from childhood – the late Petr Kolbin – whom critics have called a "wallet" for Putin's wealth, and a woman the Russian leader was allegedly once romantically involved with. None responded to invitations to comment. At least $11tn held offshore. "This is money that is being lost … [which] could be used to recover from Covid," said Gerard Ryle, the director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Is the worst over? "Will the next surges be as big as this current one? It's not likely, but it's possible," said Michael Osterholm, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota. When will life return to normal? "It's not really fully answerable by science. It's also about people's comfort," said one epidemiologist. "That is one of the challenges for me in sorting through all this data."

| ‘We are fearful’: Indigenous Mexicans dread new military buildup on ancestral land Posted: 03 Oct 2021 10:00 PM PDT As the Tzeltal people resist huge infrastructure projects across Chiapas state, the new national guard barracks springing up are alarming many Micaela* always stops to kiss a cross at the base of three hills, a lush swath of land in the indigenous ejido of San Sebastián Bachajón, Chiapas. Her ejido, meaning communal land, is shared among more than 5,000 Tzeltal inhabitants. But soon, they will also have to share it with Mexico's national guard. The national guard has built 165 barracks in Mexico since it was created only two years ago by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to replace the federal police, which he said was corrupt. Micaela's community is leading the first lawsuit against one of 500 or so barracks planned across the country. Continue reading... |
| Park Ji-sung urges Manchester United fans not to sing chant with ‘racial insult’ Posted: 04 Oct 2021 02:31 AM PDT
The former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung has urged the club's fans to stop singing a song about him that contains a negative stereotype about his homeland of South Korea. Park told the club's official podcast that the song, which includes a reference to Koreans eating dog meat, caused him "discomfort" while he was at United. He was prompted to speak out after hearing United fans sing the song at Molineux in August when Wolves unveiled their new South Korean striker, Hwang Hee-chan. Continue reading... |
| Victoria reports 1,377 cases with VCE students among them; NSW records 623 cases – as it happened Posted: 04 Oct 2021 12:51 AM PDT When it comes to Melbourne now, by some counts, becoming the most locked-down city in the world, premier Daniel Andrews says he is proud of the sacrifices Melburnians have made over the pandemic. Yesterday he called on them to make a final push before lockdown ends in coming weeks, reports Callum Godde from AAP. We are going to get past this. We are going to end this lockdown and open up, and all that we will enjoy then will be a result of all that we have given. If we let it rip last year, we would have had severe mortality and morbidity. It's just that we haven't had the same luck as other place. Continue reading... |
| ‘No fish means no food’: how Yurok women are fighting for their tribe’s nutritional health Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:00 AM PDT Klamath River salmon populations are dwindling, so Yurok mothers are working to restore the river and reclaim Indigenous food sovereignty Keeping salmon in her children's diet is "an entire job", says Georgiana Gensaw, a Yurok Tribe member and mother of four in Klamath Glen, California, a community whose only easily accessible food store is a fried chicken shop attached to a gas station a few miles away. The nearest grocery store, Safeway in Crescent City, lies 24 miles away along a stretch of road frequently plagued by landslides and toppled redwoods – last summer it was closed for 20 hours a day after a washout – making queues to get through the roadworks up to five hours long.

| ‘Renting the Taj Mahal’: the fight to save Darjeeling’s toy train Posted: 03 Oct 2021 07:00 AM PDT India's tiny train has puffed up the Himalayas since 1881 but now the world heritage site is under threat "Darjeeling ko sano rail, hirna lai abo tyari cha / Guard le shuna bhai siti bajayo" (Darjeeling's dainty train is all set to chug off / Oh, listen to the guard blowing the whistle): generations of children in Darjeeling have grown up hearing these lines from a Nepali nursery rhyme. Serenading the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR), it depicts the close relationship between the "Queen of the Hills" and local people. However, that relationship has become strained after the Indian government decided to hand over the running of the railway – listed by Unesco as a world heritage site – and oversight of the land adjoining the stations to a private company, threatening jobs and livelihoods.

| When women of color disappear, who says their names? Posted: 04 Oct 2021 03:00 AM PDT Coverage of Gabby Petito's death highlights deep-seated beliefs about gender, race, patriarchy and who deserves protection Gabby Petito was eulogized last week, her father celebrating the adventurous spirit who took her final road trip. To the many people who followed her story in the news, she was Gabby. Like a daughter, a sister, a niece. Someone who should be cared for. Petito was also white, young, blond, pretty and valued by society for everything that that implies, say advocates for missing women of color who watched conflicted as her story spread from social media to major newscasts. While the 22-year-old's death is helping spotlight other missing person cases, they say being white is a social currency that women of color don't have, which is painfully clear when they disappear.
