Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand release joint statement after governor addresses media

US politics – live updates

New York's two US senators, Chuck Schumer, who is also the Senate majority leader, and Kirsten Gillibrand, joined national and state representatives late Friday afternoon in calling for Governor Andrew Cuomo's resignation.

Cuomo had earlier again refused to resign after a group of New York's most powerful and prominent Democrats in the House of Representatives joined calls for the governor to step down over the multiple sexual misconduct allegations against him, and scrutiny over his administration's misreporting of Covid-19 deaths among nursing home residents."

'They are us': Christchurch shooting victims remembered two years on

US and others condemn move to allow only those loyal to Beijing to serve in Hong Kong's parliament

Foreign ministers in the G7 group of nations, including the United States, have expressed grave concerns at what they said was China's decision to fundamentally erode democratic elements of the electoral system in Hong Kong.

The G7 released a statement that was tweeted by British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, saying the recent decision to change Hong Kong's electoral system indicated that authorities in China were determined to eliminate dissenting voices and opinions in Hong Kong.

Harbin hotel keeping threatened species in pen overlooked by bedrooms angers animal welfare groups

A Chinese hotel built around a central polar bear enclosure for the non-stop viewing pleasure of its guests has opened to immediate condemnation from conservationists.

At Harbin Polar Land in north-east China, the hotel bedrooms' windows face onto the bears' pen, with visitors told the animals are their "neighbours 24 hours a day".

Primark supplier reportedly locks workers in factory to stop their anti-coup protest in Myanmar

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 11:00 PM PST

Garment workers in Yangon say they were dismissed for breaking out to take part in civil disobedience movement

Garment workers in Myanmar who produce clothing for Primark were locked inside their factory by supervisors who tried to prevent them from joining anti-coup protests, testimonies given to the Guardian claim.

Workers employed by GY Sen, which supplies Primark, claimed to the Guardian that their supervisors had sought to prevent them from missing work to take part in protests in the main city Yangon on 18 February. Up to 1,000 workers were trapped inside, according to workers, who said they were able to break free after several hours.

High school announcer caught by hot mic blames racist outburst on high blood sugar

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 02:51 PM PST

Announcer used racial slur for girls' team who knelt for anthem
Incident happened before Oklahoma high school playoff game
Broadcaster blames racist comments on diabetes in statement

An announcer for a live stream of an Oklahoma girls' high school basketball game cursed and called one team by a racial epithet as the players knelt during the national anthem, then suggested his diabetes was to blame for the episode in a statement expressing his regret.

The incident occurred on Thursday before the Norman High School-Midwest City quarter-final game in Sapulpa as the Star-Spangled Banner began to play. The broadcasters told their listeners on the NFHS Network stream they would return after a break and then one, apparently not realizing the audio was still live, used an expletive and the epithet as the Norman players knelt.

Trump coronavirus coordinator, Deborah Birx, takes job at air purifier business

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 08:06 PM PST

Dr Deborah Birx, the former Trump White House coronavirus taskforce coordinator, is taking a private sector job, joining a Texas manufacturer that says its purifiers clean Covid-19 from the air within minutes and from surfaces within hours.

Birx will join Dallas-based ActivePure as chief scientific and medical adviser, she and the company said on Friday.

Uber passenger seen assaulting San Francisco driver in viral video is arrested

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 12:20 PM PST

Recording showed rider coughing into driver Subhakar Khadka's face and threatening him

Police have arrested a woman who was seen assaulting a San Francisco Uber driver in a video that went viral this week.

San Francisco police said on Thursday that officers with the Las Vegas police department had arrested Malaysia King, 24, who is accused of attacking Subhakar Khadka after he refused to continue to drive King and two other passengers, one of whom had failed to follow Uber policies and wear a mask during the ride.

Spanish police seize narco-submarine in Málaga raid

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 10:31 AM PST

Officers discover vessel during wider operation in which hundreds of kilos of drugs were seized

Spanish police have announced the seizure of a homemade narco-submarine able to carry as much as two tonnes of cargo.

Police discovered the nine-metre (30ft) vessel last month while it was being built in the southern city of Málaga, during a broader international drug operation involving five other countries and the EU crime agency, Europol.

A hill to climb? Oxford Street ‘mound’ aims to lure back shoppers

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST

Showstopper Marble Arch Hill is quick fix to undo some of damage done by Covid lockdowns

"Build it and they will come" is the logic behind an artificial hill which, come summer, will rise at the end of the UK's most famous shopping thoroughfare, Oxford Street in London.

The 25-metre Marble Arch Hill or "mound", inspired by nearby Hyde Park, is a showstopper designed to pull people back to a shopping area that Westminster city council says has suffered as "much or more than any other high street in the country" during the pandemic.

Coronavirus live news: UK businesses sign up for rapid testing scheme; India to review Oxford vaccine side-effects

10.03am GMT

A relaxation of Covid restrictions was due to begin in Wales today.

Under the new rules, announced by the first minister, Mark Drakeford, on Friday, four people from two households will be able to meet outdoors to socialise, including in gardens.

9.36am GMT

Seven new Covid-19 cases have been reported in mainland China, down from nine cases a day earlier, the country's national health authority has said. Reuters reports:

All of the new cases were imported infections, the National Health Commission said in a statement. The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, rose to 17 from 10 cases a day earlier.

The total of confirmed cases in mainland China now stands at 90,034, while the Covid-19 death toll remained 4,636.

'No 10 was a plague pit': how Covid brought Westminster to its knees

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 07:00 AM PST

Insiders tell of a Whitehall in panic mode and reveal virus spread far more widely than was acknowledged

Westminster is an infectious place. A tiny germ of controversy or rebellion can spread across parliament, through Whitehall and into the prime minister's office within hours. The windowless offices are cramped, MPs sit elbow to elbow in a Commons chamber that can only squeeze just over 400 MPs into its seats, two-thirds of the number in parliament.

It is also a place of macho presenteeism, where the Greggs in Westminster tube station often serves as a nightly dinner spot for some of the most senior office-holders in the land.

'I can’t possibly afford it': how Covid has dashed retirement dreams

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 11:00 PM PST

Thousands will reach the state pension age this year but many are reassessing the future

For some people, finishing work for good is an appealing idea, with the prospect of travel, spending time with family and enjoying hobbies. But retiring during a pandemic is a different matter entirely.

Travel isn't currently an option, and for months Britons have been restricted in what they can do and who they can meet. And aside from being physically prevented from fulfilling their dreams, for many on the verge of retirement, Covid-19 has had a financial impact, too.

'Treated like cash cows': international students at top London universities withhold £29,000 fees

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:00 AM PST

Students say lockdown learning in their bedrooms is not what they paid for

Hundreds of international students at three major London universities are refusing to pay their fees because they say learning mostly in their bedrooms has not justified prices of up to £29,000 a year.

More than 300 students at the Royal College of Art, two-thirds of them from abroad, launched a tuition fee strike in January, the Guardian has learned, potentially withholding around £3.4m in fee payments, in an attempt to force the university to issue refunds for the past year.

‘Drag was always a protest, a political statement’: RuPaul's Drag Race UK finalists open up

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST

The second season of the UK spin-off has been a huge hit. Ahead of the final, Ellie Diamond, Lawrence Chaney, Tayce and Bimini Bon Boulash spill the beans

On Thursday nights, drag queen Tayce settles in to watch RuPaul's Drag Race UK with his housemates. "We sit around, get some food, watch the thing, then have a couple of bevs after," he says, talking from his bedroom in London. The experience is a little different for Tayce than for most viewers; he is also one of the finalists in this year's competition. One of his flatmates, A'Whora, was also on the show, just missing out on a top-four spot. "She's upstairs now," Tayce says, in his nimble Newport lilt. In ordinary times, the queens taking part in what he calls "the Olympics of drag" would be out in the world, watching at viewing parties in pubs and bars, appearing at Drag Race-themed events. But for now, they're at home, like everyone else. "Live it up," he says, grinning.

Along with Ellie Diamond, Bimini Bon Boulash and Lawrence Chaney, Tayce is about to compete in the final of Drag Race UK. (The queens use the pronouns she/her in drag; out of drag, Bimini is non-binary and goes by they/them, while the others use he/him, hence the joyous jumble.) This is the anglicised, rough-around-the-edges, wildly spirited spin-off of the US mothership. So far, the second season has been spectacular. The final was filmed in November, but with multiple endings, like Game Of Thrones – meaning none of them know who has won until the episode is broadcast. Alan Turing as a high-concept trouser suit. There was a perfect Katie Price impression, asserting that "nipples are the eyes of the face". There was H&M-gate, in which host RuPaul berated a contestant for performing in a shop-bought dress, inciting a fierce debate about the economics of drag in a pandemic. Covid tore the season in half, inserting a seven-month break into filming; one contestant did not return after a positive test. The contestants launched UK Hun, a Eurovision parody song and inescapable earworm that became a bona fide Top-40 hit. Bing bang bong. What's the best version of RuPaul's Drag Race? It's UK, hun.

‘Will you wear it 30 times? If not, don’t buy’: the experts’ guide to online shopping

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:01 AM PST

It has rocketed during the pandemic. But how do you make sure you like what you order online? From measuring up to editing down, we're here to help

We haven't just been doomscrolling, homeschooling and working through our screens these past 12 months. We have also been shopping.

Online shopping has rocketed: UK sales were up 61.4% in December compared with the same time last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Last month, when Asos and Boohoo bought high street stalwarts Debenhams and Topshop, and turned them into online-only brands, this pandemic-driven trend took on an air of permanence.

Michael Rosen: 'This book is about what it feels like to nearly die'

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:00 AM PST

The poet, broadcaster and children's author contracted Covid-19 a year ago and spent 48 days in intensive care. His new collection of prose poems attempts to make sense of that time

Extract from Many Different Kinds of Love: 'I am not who I was'

When people stop Michael Rosen in his local neighbourhood of Muswell Hill in north London to ask him how he's doing, which they do quite often these days, he replies: "Well, I'm not dead!" As is now well known, the former children's laureate spent 48 days in intensive care after contracting coronavirus almost exactly one year ago. He went into hospital at the end of March as one of the nation's favourite children's writers and emerged a national treasure: his poem "These Are the Hands", written to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the NHS in 2008, became an unofficial anthem for health-workers coping with the first wave of the pandemic; and, in a nod to his most famous book We're Going on a Bear Hunt, teddy bears were placed in windows for children to spot on their daily walks during lockdown.

Rosen was completely unaware of these tributes as he spent all of April and much of May in an induced coma, "a kind of pre-death that is similar, presumably, to when we go", he says now. "People were reading this poem by this dead bloke, but he wasn't actually dead, he was just lying like a cadaver up the road in the Whittington hospital." He doesn't cry so much now, he says, but when he was first told about the public reaction to his illness (Michael Sheen read "These Are the Hands", "much better than me", on Jo Whiley's Radio 2 show on his birthday last year), "it was just, whoosh!"

Lawn growers throw in the trowel as meadows replace perfect stripes

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 11:00 PM PST

Traditional mowing regimes being ditched as aesthetics and morality come under scrutiny

They were once a status symbol for the rich, and later the pride and joy of suburbia. But the immaculately striped, tightly mown lawn is becoming an endangered species.

Monty Don this week called time on the predominantly male, British "obsession" with a tidy lawn, arguing that fossil-fuel-powered mowing was noisy and "about the most injurious thing you can do to wildlife".

'It’s been tough': UK exporters on how Brexit has damaged them

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST

Businesses cite higher costs, customs delays and paperwork as among the problems they face

The first couple of weeks in January after Brexit were a disaster for Ronald Scordia's shellfish exporting business. "The truck was late arriving, then took 48 hours to arrive in France, missed the connection on the Friday, and wasn't able to be sent on until the Monday. You can imagine the quality of the produce when it got there; we lost a lot of money," he said.

Me and my neurodiverse family: ‘It’s chaotic, frenetic and hilarious’

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 10:00 PM PST

I'm a neurotypical, type-A rule follower – my husband and sons are anything but. How do we make it work? By embracing a funny, creative world of ADHD and difference

A typical weeknight evening in my house might go something like this. I help my nine-year-old son prepare for a spelling test. I sit on the floor and say "territory", and watch as he lies on his back with his legs in the air and writes it down on a whiteboard next to him, eyes closed, with his left hand. He is right-handed. My seven-year-old is wearing a tank top, regardless of the season, and doing chin-ups using the slats under his loft bed, pulling himself over in a flip through his arms. He interrupts the spelling session to say, "Did you know that the tallest person in the world also has the biggest hands?" He then talks continuously about any topic that crosses his mind during his work out. Meanwhile, my husband, finally done after another day working at the table in our bedroom that serves as his home office, is wearing a top hat from our kids' old magician's outfit and playing the piano. He plays by ear. He calls out, "Hey, did you recognise that – that one was Dizzee Rascal!"

It's like being in a room with Jack Black and Robin Williams and Jim Carrey doing their standup all at once. It's chaotic, frenetic and hilarious. It's life with three people who think outside the box, all the time, because very often they have forgotten the box or lost the box or just found another box much more interesting. And it has made me – a neurotypical, type-A rule-follower, squarely-in-the-box operator, former spelling bee champion and perpetual list-maker – into a much more fluid person and creative thinker, willing to let go of my rigid routines. My family have shown me the beauty and freedom of thinking differently.

Sarah Everard vigil in south London cancelled, organisers say

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 12:29 AM PST

Reclaim These Streets appeals to people not to go to event and is instead raising funds for women's causes

A vigil in south London in response to the disappearance of Sarah Everard has been cancelled, organisers have said.

Organisers of Reclaim These Streets planned to hold a demonstration on Clapham Common in south London on Saturday, near to where the 33-year-old, whose body was formally identified on Friday, went missing. But organisers said despite their attempts to work with police to make sure the vigil could go ahead safely, they now felt it could not.

Yellow review – a gripping epic about fascism in Belgium

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 12:00 PM PST

Available online
Part two in NTGent's Sorrows of Belgium trilogy is a visually arresting account of the rise of the Rex party and the horror of the second world war

Director Luk Perceval's Sorrows of Belgium trilogy charts three dark chapters in the nation's history, starting with colonial oppressions in the Congo in Black (produced by NTGent in 2019) and ending with the Brussels terrorist attacks of 2016 in Red (yet to be staged). The second instalment, Yellow, dramatises the rise of the fascist party Rex, which led to collaboration with Nazi occupiers.

What is immediately arresting in NTGent's live-stream, with English subtitles, is the cinematic quality of the production. It is exquisitely filmed by Daniel Demoustier in the theatre, though not always on the stage. Shot almost entirely in black and white with some intermittent hues of yellow, it seems variously like a dance and a series of sorrowful tableaux of human suffering and collective delusion. Camera angles draw us into the roused faces of Belgian fascists, circling them dizzily as they spit out their rhetoric, and then drawing away to show them as a choreographed ensemble. Annette Kurz's set design seems more like a moving painting, with the actors often performing on or around a table that serves as a miniature stage.

The former head of Shin Bet came to realize war all-out war against terrorists only deepened an existential mire

Ami Ayalon is a retired Israeli warrior with much more history than he needs to fill this compact, compelling memoir. Three years older than the state of Israel, he spent the first two-thirds of his life fighting Arabs, first as a member of Shayetet 13, the Israeli equivalent of the Navy Seals, then as commander of the Israeli navy and finally as head of Shin Bet, the internal security service, its motto: "Defender that shall not be seen."

Gunmen kidnap 39 students in Nigeria in raid on college

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 01:02 PM PST

Attack in north-west of country is latest in series of mass abductions targeting schools

Gunmen have raided a college in north-west Nigeria and kidnapped 39 students, in the latest mass abduction targeting a school.

The gang stormed the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Mando, Kaduna state, at about 9.30pm (2030 GMT) on Thursday, shooting indiscriminately before taking students. The Kaduna college was said to have about 300 male and female students – mostly aged 17 and older – at the time of the attack.

Breonna Taylor's killing has changed Louisville – but justice has not yet come

The killing of the 26-year-old was a watershed moment for the Kentucky city – but a year on, the three officers involved have not been charged for her death

Three hundred and sixty-five days. Four police chiefs. Two fatal shootings tied to protests. Hundreds of protesters arrested. Zero charges for the three police officers who fired 32 bullets in the early morning raid that killed Breonna Taylor, hitting her six times.

Mark Carney: ‘I didn’t want the Bank of England job. But I was asked to fix something’

Posted: 13 Mar 2021 02:00 AM PST

He earned a fortune at Goldman Sachs, but now the banker wants the financial sector to reassess its values and tackle the climate emergency

Read an exclusive extract from Carney's book

Mark Carney is no ordinary banker. He is the banker's banker, the superstar banker, the George Clooney of banking, possibly even the James Bond of banking. The accolades bestowed on him are many: he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2010, the world's most trusted Canadian in 2011, and hailed as Britain's most influential Catholic (by The Tablet) in 2015.

Since leaving his post as governor of the Bank of England in March last year, Carney has turned his attention to saving the planet. He is now the United Nations' special envoy for climate action and finance, and has been appointed by Boris Johnson as finance adviser for the UK presidency of the Cop26 climate change conference in Glasgow in November. Then there is his new job at Brookfield Asset Management, the world's second-largest investor in climate-friendly businesses, where he is in charge of the impact fund. (In February, Carney was accused by climate experts of greenwashing after he claimed Brookfield was a "net zero" company. A few days later, he tweeted an acknowledgment that Brookfield's investments in renewable energy are not the same as having net-zero emissions.) Last month it was announced he had joined the board of US digital payments giant Stripe, tasked with helping businesses fund emerging carbon-removal technologies. And he's also managed to squeeze in a 600-page book, Value(s): Building A Better World For All. In it, Carney analyses the three global 21st-century crises: the financial crash, Covid, the climate crisis. He concludes that our values have been sacrificed at the altar of what is simply valuable; if we are to have any hope of avoiding an environmental Armageddon we must recover them.

Thai Airways customers in limbo after refunds put on hold

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 11:00 PM PST

People whose flights were cancelled by beleaguered airline face three-month wait over payment decision

Thousands of passengers who had flights cancelled last year by Thai Airways will have to wait another three months to discover whether they will be refunded or have lost their money.

The airline has faced financial problems since last spring, leaving a trail of passengers who had flights cancelled waiting for refunds. Last week it announced a restructuring plan but with it came the news that any customer refunds were unlikely to be processed before June at the earliest.

Wandina bushfire threat downgraded as Western Australia blaze brought under control

Migrants in northern Morocco said they had been forced to sleep out in the open after repeated raids by police, who allegedly burned down their shelters in camps near the Spanish enclave Melilla.

Those camped along the border said Moroccan forces returned for a fourth day on Friday despite having already torched most of their tents.

'The Senate is broken': proposals for major changes to outdated system gather steam

Posted: 12 Mar 2021 07:00 PM PST

Analysis: critics say the US Senate has become a firewall for a shrinking minority of white conservatives to block policies – could a breakthrough be ahead?

In the first 50 days of the Biden administration, the US House of Representatives has passed major legislation to strengthen voting rights, reform police departments, empower labor unions and tighten gun laws.

The public strongly supports each measure, and Biden is poised, pen in hand, to sign each bill into law. It could seem like the dawn of a new progressive era.
