More Articles from Top 7 or 10 Tips: News TipsAndanappa Yalagi, whose daughter died after a miscarriage at a Galway hospital, hopes the referendum will change the law Her death was the “end of the world” to her family, and a catalyst for an historic vote this week that could change Ireland’s constitution. Now, more than five years after Savita Halappanavar lost her life after a miscarriage in a Galway hospital, her father has urged voters to repeal the clause of the constitution that he says contributed to her death, and legalise abortion. “I hope the people of Ireland remember my daughter Savita on the day of the referendum, and that what happened to her won’t happen to any other family,” Andanappa Yalagi told the Guardian by phone from his home in Karnataka, in south-west India. Chronicler of American politics, Jewishness and male sexual desire was widely regarded as one of greatest novelists of the 20th century The novelist Philip Roth, who explored America through the contradictions of his own character for more than six decades, died on Tuesday aged 85. Roth’s career began in notoriety and ended in authority, as he grappled with questions of identity, authorship, morality and mortality in a series of novels that shaped the course of American letters in the second half of the 20th century. He refracted the complexities of his Jewish-American heritage in works such as Portnoy’s Complaint, American Pastoral, The Human Stain and The Plot Against America, which garnered both critical and commercial success, garlanding their creator with a dazzling succession of literary prizes. President raises doubts over 12 June talks but says: ‘In the end it will work out. I can’t tell you how or why, but it always does’ Donald Trump said there was a “very substantial chance” that his summit next month with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, could be postponed.

Continue reading...Facebook founder spends 30 minutes giving answers to 60 minutes of MEPs’ questions Mark Zuckerberg’s meeting at the European parliament ended in acrimony amid a chorus of complaints that the Facebook founder had been allowed to evade questions and give vague answers. Over the 90-minute session, the Facebook founder told MEPs there would be no repeat of the Cambridge Analytica data scandal as he fielded accusations that his company had too much power. The format meant Zuckerberg spent around 30 minutes giving answers to a 60-minute block of consecutive questions. The 12 MEPs asked dozens of overlapping questions that allowed the Facebook boss to pick and choose his answers. Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the liberal group, slammed the “precooked format” as “inappropriate” and said it had permitted Zuckerberg to avoid questions. Continue reading...Michael Rotondo, who reportedly moved back home eight years ago, issued with eviction order after he thwarted parents’ efforts A judge has ordered a 30-year-old man in New York state to move out of his parents’ house, after a short legal battle. During the hearing on Tuesday, state supreme court justice Donald Greenwood tried to convince Michael Rotondo, who reportedly moved back home eight years ago, to leave the family home in Camillus, near Syracuse, of his own accord. But Rotondo, who represented himself in court, argued that he was entitled to six more months of living with his family. Continue reading...David Chipperfield-designed centre would harm Stockholm waterfront, court rules A Swedish court has blocked the construction of a major new Nobel Centre in Stockholm intended as the future venue for the world’s most prestigious arts and science awards.

Continue reading...The Dow Jones fell after Trump said he isn’t satisfied with US-China trade talks and cast doubt on the North Korea summit The Dow Jones stock index dropped 200 points on Tuesday after Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with US-China trade talks and cast doubt on whether a summit with North Korea, scheduled for 12 Jun in Singapore, will in fact take place. The losses, which came after a 300-point gain a day earlier on optimism that a trade war had been at least temporarily averted, came amid growing signs of discord within the US negotiating team. Continue reading...Reports of people being berated or attacked while communicating in the world’s second most spoken language are on the rise Sandy was trying to communicate with a colleague. Although her presence was unusual as a Latinx lawyer at a top southern California non-profit, she was used to talking to people in any language she wanted to. After all, she’d graduated from a top law school and worked near her Los Angeles-area, Latin-centric hometown. But this time was different. She was speaking to a member of the custodian staff in Spanish about a trivial matter when an older white female executive forcefully told her to stop. That she should not socialize in another language because “other people” might think they were talking trash about them. Continue reading...ACLU releases documentation on Amazon Rekognition software, fueling fears of surveillance via police body cameras In the aftermath of the uprising in Ferguson, Missouri, over the killing of Michael Brown, police departments and policy makers around the country hit upon a supposed panacea to racist policing and police brutality: body-worn cameras. Many hailed the move as a victory for accountability. But among the few dissenters was Malkia Cyril, executive director of the Center for Media Justice and a leader in the Black Lives Matter network, who warned early and often that the cameras could become tools of surveillance against people of color because “body-worn cameras don’t watch the police, they watch the community being policed, people like me”. Continue reading...Sidney Kilmartin was charged with mailing a suicidal man in Hull cyanide after he threatened to report Kilmartin for fraud A federal judge in New England sentenced a man to 25 years in prison on Tuesday for mailing a fatal dose of cyanide to a suicidal British man, accusing the defendant of an “appalling moral vacuum”. Judge John Woodcock’s ruling in US district court in Portland, Maine, came four years after Sidney Kilmartin was arrested for mailing the poison to Andrew Denton of Hull, in the UK. Continue reading...Abductors of boy, 13, left note demanding £92,000 worth of cryptocurrency for his release A gang that kidnapped a South African teenager from a playground at the weekend have demanded a ransom in bitcoin worth about $123,000, police have said. The 13-year-old boy was taken in the town of Witbank in the eastern province of Mpumalanga while he was playing with two friends near his home. Witnesses said a Toyota Corolla pulled up nearby and the teenager was dragged in and driven away. Continue reading...
The UN has reported an alarming spike in the number of asylum seekers and refugees fleeing violence and persecution in Central America, urging the international community to take steps to meet the region’s “huge” needs. The number of asylum seekers and refugees who had abandoned the region increased from about 18,000 in 2011 to 294,000 at the end of last year, the UN’s refugee agency, UNHCR, announced. That number grew 58% last year alone. Continue reading...
The EU is bracing itself for a trade war with the US, after Donald Trump’s administration signalled to Brussels that it would not prolong the exemption granted to European steel and aluminium importers from its punitive tariffs. Cecilia Malmström, the European commissioner for trade, said that she expected the US commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, to make a recommendation to the White House in the coming days, but that the final decision would be taken by the president. Continue reading...Shares in Chinese companies making baby products surge after reports two-child policy may be loosened Shares in Chinese companies that make and sell baby products have surged after a report said China is considering plans to scrap limits on the number of children a couple can have. Companies like Shanghai Aiyingshi, which runs a chain of stores selling baby products, infant care device makers, and others saw their shares rise as much as 10% on Tuesday. China’s Shanghai Composite index rose 0.51 points to its highest close in more than a month. Continue reading...Emma Clarke captures Dublin’s history through old advertisements and signs – often only briefly revealed by construction projects in this rapidly changing city Faded and decaying shop signs remind us of a time gone by. Often painted on brickwork, these ghost signs are found in cities and towns throughout the world – but many of us don’t even notice them. Emma Clarke picked up on Dublin’s fading signs as she walked around the city observing changes to the urban landscape. Originally from Cork, she’s been photographing old signs in Dublin and publishing the pictures through her blog and the account @DublinGhostSigns since she moved there a decade ago. Continue reading...A project that uses crowdsourced photos of destroyed buildings to form 3D digital models is helping refugees rediscover their roots Five years ago, Yusuf Shegow visited the ruins of the once-grand Al-Uruba hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean on Mogadishu’s waterfront. His grandfather had worked at a nearby hotel in the 1970s, and shared stories with Shegow of the diplomats and dignitaries who stayed there on frequent visits to the country then known as the “Switzerland of Africa”. After decades of civil war, Al-Uruba’s arched windows and white plaster facade were in tatters. The entire fourth floor was gone, levelled by mortar fire. Continue reading...The closure of its factories hit Sesto hard, but when the perpetrator of the Berlin truck attack was shot there, the former leftwing stronghold turned right Gramsci Avenue, May Day Square, Karl Marx library … even today the streets of Sesto San Giovanni recall its past as the “Stalingrad of Italy”. For more than seven decades, this suburb of Milan was ruled by the Communist party and its political heirs, but things have radically changed since the election of the new rightwing mayor, Roberto Di Stefano. Begging, bivouacking in parks or streets and drinking alcohol in the open have all been banned. Those breaking the rules are expelled, and over the past year that has been the fate of more than 200 people – most of them homeless, street vendors or migrants. Continue reading...Fountain which squirts when toilet is flushed made in protest against use of non-local artists for Leeuwarden project When the Dutch city of Leeuwarden commissioned 11 fountains by modern artists to celebrate being made European capital of culture 2018, it probably didn’t expect such stiff opposition. Internationally renowned sculptors – including the British artists Cornelia Parker and Lucy Orta – each designed a fountain for one of 11 cities in the province of Friesland. For the city of Workum, Parker took her inspiration from a pair of lions on a 17th-century coat of arms, designing two huge replicas, with water spouting from their claws. Continue reading...On 25 May, voters in Ireland will decide whether to legalise abortion. Doctors, grandparents and those who have been forced to travel the UK to seek terminations have been raising their voices in a bid to shift the narrative In September 1983, article 40.3.3 – the eighth amendment – was voted into the Irish constitution. It equated the life of the “unborn” with that of the mother. It gave rise to a ban on abortion in all circumstances from the moment of conception. It also led to a grave national silence, whereby abortion was outsourced to neighbouring jurisdictions, with Britain becoming a place of medical refuge for at least 168,703 Irish women. Now, just less than 35 years later, a grassroots mobilisation of doctors, lawyers, parents, grandparents, tech professionals, psychologists, fashion designers, artists, midwives, nurses and more has led to an unstoppable revolution and a referendum on 25 May, which may well result in the amendment finally being removed from the Irish constitution. Siobhan Donohue is one such accidental activist. “I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be sitting here talking about my abortion,” says Donohue. “I never put my head up about anything. I was the kid who never talked in class. I did everything by the book. I had no real interest in politics, until this, until I felt this sense of outrage.” Continue reading...Tributes will be paid to more of the 72 people who died in the fire
Meanwhile, the home secretary, Sajid Javid, has thanked the police for their handling of the Grenfell fire. In his keynote speech to the Police Federation conference in Birmingham, Javid said: From physically taking on violent criminals, to breaking bad news to bereaved families. You are there. From handling tragedies like Grenfell, to providing security and peace of mind at celebrations like the Royal Wedding. You are there. “From physically taking on violent criminals, to breaking bad news to bereaved families.
Tony Disson’s eulogy from his son Lee reads like a chapter from a bygone era: father and son outings to the football, camping trips, holidays at the chalet on the Isle of Sheppey. This is something we have heard repeatedly about the fathers of Grenfell tower. Hard working manual workers most of them, who did what they did to get their children everything they needed. As Tony’s son Charlie said, he wasn’t a rich man but he was generous with his love. Continue reading...Tbilisi also alleges human rights violations in closing evidence at European court Georgia has accused Russia of war crimes, human rights violations and a “rampage” across Georgian territory during the bitter military conflict between the countries almost 10 years ago. In closing evidence before the European court of human rights in Strasbourg on Wednesday, the Georgian government said Moscow was guilty of multiple violations during the August 2008 fighting. Continue reading...Files reviewed by Guardian shed new light on ties between Columbus Nova, Viktor Vekselberg and Kremlin-allied bankers A company that paid Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s legal fixer, was also involved in securing hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for a Russian oligarch from a bank with ties to Russia’s intelligence services. Related: Trump discloses he reimbursed Michael Cohen for up to $250,000 in 2017 Continue reading...Families that broke leases due to infestations reached a settlement with an apartment company, highlighting Canada’s bedbug problem They fled barrel bombs and chemical weapon attacks in war-torn Syria, but when they arrived in Canada to start rebuilding their shattered lives, they found themselves in a new battle with an invisible enemy. The problems began soon after a dozen refugee families moved into a high-rise building in Hamilton, Ontario. Children would cry through the night; parents discovered they were covered swollen red bite marks. Continue reading...Journalists arrive in country to view shutdown but Trump says meeting may be delayed North Korea is pushing ahead with plans to close the country’s only known nuclear test site despite confusion over the fate of a planned summit between its leader, Kim Jong-un, and Donald Trump. The meeting, which would be the first between a sitting US president and the leader of North Korea, was scheduled for 12 June in Singapore. But Trump cast doubt over its timing on Tuesday during a meeting with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, saying there was a “very substantial chance” it would be delayed. Continue reading...Westpac also defends decision to lend money for Pie Face franchise that quickly failed A senior ANZ executive has admitted a $220,000 loan given to a couple for a gelato franchise was not done with the care and diligence expected of banks. And Westpac has defended its decision to lend money to a Victorian woman and her business partner for a Pie Face franchise that quickly failed. Continue reading...Many Irish people see the abortion referendum as a crossroads. Ireland could say yes and turn towards the liberal values of the EU, while a no vote would defend its Catholic conservatism. Phoebe Greenwood went to Limerick to meet voters who want to save the eighth amendment and ask where they think the referendum will leave Ireland’s national identity Continue reading...Resignation of anti-slavery commissioner Kevin Hyland prompts scrutiny of Theresa May’s flagship policy Anti-trafficking campaigners have accused the Home Office of a “muddled and inconsistent” strategy over modern slavery that is failing its victims, following the resignation of Britain’s first anti-slavery commissioner. Kevin Hyland, appointed by Theresa May when she was home secretary, stepped down last week after nearly four years in the role as champion of her flagship policy to make prosecutions easier and protect victims of modern slavery, citing government interference. Continue reading...From rescuing girls from female genital mutilation to championing women’s political rights, Leah Chebet Psiya is breaking down barriers in her Pokot community in eastern Kenya Life is far from easy for women and girls in West Pokot, but Leah Chebet Psiya and her Pokot Women’s Empowerment Organisation are tackling the barriers holding them back. She tells Lucy Lamble about her vision for a more equal society – and explains how, with recent catastrophic flooding and landslides in the region, her organisation has also played a vital role in rescue efforts Scarcity of antibiotic Septrin drives fears of weakened immunity among patients, setting back efforts to end Aids by 2030 The lives of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans living with HIV are being put at risk as the country runs out of a drug given to people on antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) to fight infections. Sarah Achieng Opendi, state minister for health, told the Guardian the country’s national medical stores were running out of the antibiotic Septrin, which is used to treat and fight conditions like flu, malaria, diarrhoea and tuberculosis. Continue reading...When a student from India’s lowest caste proposed to take his marriage procession past the homes of well-to-do Hindus, uproar ensued. Yet he is now poised for a significant victory The dusty, nondescript road has long been a no-go area, on pain of death, for bridegrooms from the Dalit caste and their wedding processions. In July, however, on a date yet to be fixed, Sanjay Kumar Jadav, 27, will lead his parade of male relatives – called the “baraat” – down the road in Nizampur village. The group will pass the houses of upper caste Hindus who fear they will be “tainted” by his passing, to where his fiancee Sheetal lives. There, the couple will be married. Ten leading campaigners reportedly held as media denounce women as ‘traitors’ for supporting end to ban on female drivers At least 10 prominent Saudi activists, mostly women’s rights campaigners, have now been reported to have been arrested in what appears to be an escalating clampdown ahead of the much-vaunted lifting of the prohibition on women driving in the kingdom on 24 June. The arrests, with more feared by human rights campaigners, come amid a high-profile campaign in Saudi media outlets and on social media denouncing the women as “traitors”. Continue reading...Burundi president’s power grab is latest by a number of regional leaders to have raised term limits or bolstered their powers Voters in Burundi have backed wide-ranging constitutional changes that will reinforce the power of the president, Pierre Nkurunziza, potentially allowing him to rule for up to 14 more years after his current term expires in 2020. The measures were approved by 75% of voters, with 17% opposed, on a reported turnout of 98%. Continue reading...North Korea has invited a handful of journalists to watch as it dismantles its only known nuclear test site, but experts warn the move is purely symbolic This week North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will shut the nation’s only known nuclear test site ahead of an expected meeting with Donald Trump on 12 June. However, experts have warned that the move is more symbolic than practical. Here is all you need to know about the dismantling of Punggye-ri.

According to reports from Moscow, Abramovich was unable to watch his Chelsea team’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley because his investor’s visa expired last month. His private Boeing jet has not been back to the UK since 1 April. Continue reading...Russian oligarch has become a sporadic visitor to the club into which he has poured more than £1bn since 2003 Roman Abramovich’s absence as Chelsea defeated Manchester United to claim the FA Cup, and the 15th major trophy of his ownership, is now explained by the delay in granting his renewal application for an investor’s visa. Yet, at the time, his non-appearance at Wembley hardly set the alarm bells ringing. The oligarch has become a sporadic visitor to the club into which he has poured more than £1bn since acquiring it in 2003, missing some significant home games en route and never travelling to away fixtures. While he had attended his side’s loss to Arsenal in last season’s FA Cup final and was regularly seen at Stamford Bridge in the first half of this season, the 51-year-old was last in attendance in his box in the middle tier of the West Stand for the victory over Crystal Palace in March. Continue reading...Hawaii’s Gemini observatory has recorded a night of eruptions on Mount Kilauea. The timelapse footage shows eruptions between 21 and 22 May, during which lava flowed into residential areas and poured into the ocean.

Michael Rotondo, who reportedly moved back home eight years ago, told the judge he was entitled to live with his family for another six months.
