The leader of hip-hop’s first great radical band talks to Sarfraz Manzoor about the ‘fight for peace and love by any means necessary’, why he won't refer to the US president by name, Elvis Presley and ageism in hip-hop
After years of speculation – and repeated denials – America’s most famous reality TV family have begun to reveal all about the implants, nose jobs, fillers and injections they’ve received over the course of their careers. But it’s too little, too late for their millions of young fans, writes Ellie Muir, and it’s certainly not empowering either
Wallabies survive almighty scare at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle
Out stride the two teams, side by side, accompanied by mascots. The visitors are wearing white jerseys and black shorts, the hosts are wearing their First Nations jersey, which is predominately gold, with green accents to match the green shorts.
Angus Fontaine puts it all into context for the Wallabies.
Adventurous attack. Bone-rattling defence. Mistakes punished and opportunities seized. Get in the enemy’s faces and bring the crowd into the contest from the get-go. A ragtag NSW Waratahs gave Joe Schmidt’s Wallabies a bold blueprint for how to dismantle the British & Irish Lions in the first Test on 19 July.
My daughter has gradually withdrawn from family events. She lives far from us all and doesn’t come home any more after being a real homebird. She hasn’t visited for over a year and didn’t see any of us at Christmas or my birthday, which is not like her.
When I visit her, it’s becoming clearshe isn’t making choices for herself any more – even the simplest ones are made by her partner and she concedes to everything he wants. He is also jealous of any other male family member who is spoken about positively.
As Jurassic World: Rebirth and 28 Years Later become the latest franchise titles to hit the big screen, movie fans are realising a depressing truth
On Monday, the director of the new Jurassic Park movie explained his aim for the seventh film in the series. Innovation it was not. Rather, said Gareth Edwards, it was karaoke. To prepare, he binged Steven Spielberg clips on repeat, hoping to accomplish genre cloning.
“I was trying,” he told BBC’s Front Row, “to make it feel nostalgic. The goal was that it should feel like Universal Studios went into their vaults and found a reel of film, brushed the dust off and it said: Jurassic World: Rebirth.
Court documents suggest Israelis were asked to carry out missions that were at first modest but quickly escalated
Before Israel launched its war on Iran last month, its security service uncovered an extensive network of its own citizens spying for Tehran – on a scale that has taken the country by surprise.
Since Iran’s first missile barrage on Israel in April 2024, more than 30 Israelis have been charged with collaboration with Iranian intelligence.
Since 1963, when he photographed a fellow student being arrested, David Hoffman has turned his camera on rebels and rioters. His archive tells an alternative story of Britain, from Greenham Common to students marching on Whitehall
Duncan Campbell on the power of protest
From the suffragettes at the start of the last century to Reclaim the Night in the 1970s; from the battle of Cable Street against the British Union of Fascists in 1936 to the Anti-Nazi League marches four decades later; from the million marchers against the Iraq war in 2003 in London to the massive turnouts across the country two decades later against the war in Gaza, protest has been a vital and constant part of the fabric of British society.
If the US cuts off the cash it will have world-changing effects, but it’s not the only country falling short in its obligations to the United Nations
The United Nations and its agencies have long struggled with funding shortfalls. Now an entrenched problem is becoming an acute crisis in the shadow of Donald Trump’s executioner’s axe. The US is the biggest contributor, at 22%, to the UN’s core budget. In February, the White House announced a six-month review of US membership of all international organisations, conventions and treaties, including the UN, with a view to reducing or ending funding – and possible withdrawal. The deadline for decapitation falls next month.
Trump’s abolition of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and scrapping of most aid programmes, has already badly damaged UN-led and UN-backed humanitarian operations, which rely on discretionary funding. Yet Trump’s axe symbolises a more fundamental threat – to multilateralism and the much-battered international rules-based order. The basic concept of collective responsibility for maintaining global peace and security, and collaboration in tackling shared problems – embodied by the UN since its creation 80 years ago last week – is on the chopping block.
Many feel counter-terrorism policies and brazen Islamophobia have increased hostility and isolation experience by community
For many in the British Muslim community, the tragedy of 7 July 2005 lives long in the memory. The bombings sent shockwaves through the nation but also marked a turning point that left many grappling with grief, fear and a new scrutiny of their identity.
Twenty years on, feelings of suspicion, isolation and hostility experienced in the aftermath of the attacks have, for some, only worsened after decades of UK counter-terrorism policies, and a political landscape they say has allowed Islamophobia to flourish.
In a case full of surprising scenarios, the time and place of the murder were never established, and Nunn was found guilty despite a lack of forensic evidence. He is still maintaining his innocence, but will he ever be freed?
After the murder of his ex-girlfriend Dawn Walker, in 2005, Kevin Nunn insists he told Suffolk police everything. Of course he did, he says – he was desperate to help them track down her killer. He explained how they had split up two days before she was found, how he had gone to her home after she had left a distraught voicemailon his phone and not turned up to work, how he had let himself in with a key she didn’t know he had, and how he went looking for her along their favourite walking routes by the River Lark, north of Bury St Edmunds. He then handed over the pair of boots he had worn when searching for her.
The body of Walker, 37, was discovered close to where Nunn said he had looked for her. Not surprisingly, his footprints were also found. Six weeks after she went missing, he was charged with her murder. Nunn, 64, who has spent 20 years in prison, says telling the truth was the worst thing he could have done. He believes he unwittingly provided the police with everything they needed to build a case against him – the motive, the map and the circumstantial evidence that led to him being convicted of murder.
