The 2025 BMW M2 arrives with 473 horsepower, 20 ponies more than before. The six-speed manual is still offered, but automatic M2s also gain 37 pound-feet of torque over the 2024 model. The interior has been altered slightly too, with a bigger emphasis on screens instead of physical controls. The latest generation of the BMW M2 arrived for the 2023 model year with a muscular new design and a 453-hp twin-turbo inline-six. Just two years later, BMW is already giving its smallest sports car a series of tweaks. The 2025 BMW M2 will hit the streets later this year with an extra 20 hp, new paint options, and an upgraded infotainment system. More Punch The twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine now produces 473 ponies, 20 hp more than the 2024 model and nearly 70 hp more than the previous-generation M2 that went out of production in 2021. The M2 remains rear-wheel-drive-only and also retains its available six-speed manual gearbox; an eight-speed automatic transmission is also offered. Automatic-equipped M2s receive a substantial boost in torque, from 406 to 443 pound-feet; manual M2s stand pat at 402 pound-feet. BMW says the throttle map has been revised to improve responsiveness. BMW claims the stick-shift M2 is a tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph than before, quoting a 4.1-second time. The automatic-equipped M2 is said to do the same sprint in 3.9 seconds. In Car and Driver testing, we clocked the manual M2 at 3.9 seconds, suggesting BMW's claims are a bit conservative. Top speed is capped at 155 mph, with the M Driver's package pushing the limit to 177 mph. New Looks BMW is offering several new paint colors for 2025, including Sao Paulo Yellow, Vegas Red metallic, Skyscraper Grey metallic, and Portimao Blue metallic. There are also flashy new hues through BMW's Individual customization program: Java Green metallic, Voodoo Blue, Grigio Telesto Pearl Effect metallic, and Twilight Purple Pearl Effect metallic. For 2025, models can also be specced with a bright silver finish for the wheels. Other design tweaks include black badges outlined in silver and standard black tailpipes. Inside, BMW restyled the steering wheel with new spokes, a flat-bottomed rim, and a red center marker at the 12 o'clock position. The steering wheel comes wrapped in leather as standard, with options for Alcantara and heating. The M Carbon bucket seats can now be ordered as a standalone option. Previously, they required the $9900 Carbon package. The standard leather seats can now be ordered in black with a red accent. The curved display atop the dashboard, which houses a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen, runs the latest version of BMW's operating system. The climate control settings are now handled by digital controls, with the ability to also use voice commands. As a result, the dashboard has been restyled to further reduce the number of buttons. The 2025 M2 will continue to be assembled at BMW's factory in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with production beginning this August. The M2's base price rises slightly to $66,075 from the 2024 model's $64,195 tag. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a61087231/2025-bmw-m2-refresh-price/

Most of the victims in the deadly blaze that engulfed a block housing immigrant workers are from India. Kerala's Health Minister Veena George consoles the mother of a victim of Kuwait fire in Pathanamthitta district in India's southern state [Stringer/Reuters] From a father-of-two who planned to leave his job to a 29-year-old due to visit his family in August, two dozen Indians from the southern state of Kerala died in a fire that ripped through a labour-housing facility in Kuwait, leaving their families bereft. India’s Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said 40 Indians died in the blaze at a building housing workers in Kuwait’s Mangaf city, which also killed at least nine others, including three Philippine nationals. Kuwait’s Foreign Minister Abdullah al-Yahya told reporters on Thursday that one person succumbed to injuries, taking the number of deaths to at least 50. More than 50 other workers were injured, some critically, but their nationalities could not immediately be confirmed by the Kuwaiti government. Most of oil-rich Kuwait’s four million-plus po[CENSORED]tion is made up of foreigners, many of them from South and Southeast Asia working in construction and service industries. They often live in overcrowded accommodations. For decades, a disproportionately large share of Indian workers in the Gulf have been drawn from Kerala, a densely po[CENSORED]ted state along southern India’s Arabian Sea coast. In Kerala, Norka Roots, a government agency for the state residents living outside, placed the number of dead from the state at 24. The federal government arranged a special flight to bring the bodies, Norka secretary K Vasuki said. In a post on X late on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country was “doing everything possible to assist those affected by this gruesome fire tragedy”. Next of kin will receive payments of 200,000 rupees ($2,400), his office announced. Kirti Vardhan Singh, India’s junior foreign minister, reached Kuwait on an Indian Air Force plane to help survivors and repatriate remains. “Some of the bodies have been charred beyond recognition, so DNA tests [are] under way to identify the victims,” he told Indian media. People walk past the building in Mangaf where the deadly fire took place [Yasser Al-Zayyat/AFP] ‘State of shock’ News of the disaster spread quickly in Kerala. Among the victims from the state was Muralidharan Nair, who had been working in Kuwait for 32 years, including 10 as a senior supervisor in the company that owned the housing facility where the fire broke out. “He came on leave in December for two months with a plan to end his career in Kuwait. The company called him back,” his brother, Vinu V Nair, told the Reuters news agency, adding that the family identified the 61-year-old from a list of names published by India’s embassy. His two roommates also died in the blaze. The family of Saju Varghese, 56, found out about the fire from television and social media and confirmed his death from friends and relatives in Kuwait. Working in the Gulf nation for the last 21 years, Varghese planned to visit Kerala later this month to arrange his daughter’s higher education. “The family is in a state of shock,” their neighbour, George Samuel, said. Kuwait’s Deputy Prime Minister Fahad Yusuf Al-Sabah speaks with police officers in front of the burned building [Reuters] Another victim, Stephin Abraham Sabu, 29, who worked as an engineer in Kuwait since 2019, called home almost daily. He had visited his hometown Kottayam “two or three times” since he left, and had booked air tickets to return in August for the housewarming of his family’s new home and to help them buy a new car, his friends said. Sabu’s father has a small shop in Kottayam while his mother is a housewife. His brother, Febin, also works in Kuwait but lives separately. Authorities in Kuwait have not officially announced the nationalities of those who died. But the other dead included three Filipino workers, Leo Cacdac, the Philippine migrant workers minister, said in a statement on Thursday. Two other Filipinos were hospitalised and in critical condition. Kuwaiti officials have detained the building’s owner over potential negligence and have warned that any blocks that flout safety rules will be closed. The blaze was one of the worst seen in Kuwait, which borders Iraq and Saudi Arabia and sits on about 7 percent of the world’s known oil reserves. In 2009, 57 people died when a Kuwaiti woman, apparently seeking revenge, set fire to a tent at a wedding party when her husband married a second wife. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/13/state-of-shock-kuwait-fire-leaves-many-families-bereft-in-indias-kerala

Commission of Inquiry accuses Israel and Palestinian groups of war crimes. Here’s a breakdown. Israeli forces have committed crimes against humanity of extermination, murder, gender persecution, forcible transfer, and torture and inhuman and cruel treatment, a UN-backed inquiry has reported [File: Eyad Baba/AFP] A United Nations-backed inquiry has concluded that war crimes have been committed by Israel and by Hamas as well as other Palestinian groups, during the now eight-month conflict. The independent Commission of Inquiry report, released on Wednesday, cover the period from the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent war on Gaza, with the period of investigation ending December 31, 2023. Who does the report accuse, Israel or Palestinian groups? Both, it accuses both Israel and Palestinian groups. It found the Hamas-led Palestinian fighters who attacked Israel on October 7 committed war crimes, failing to make a distinction between Israeli combatants and non-combatants during their attack. It also found that Israel and its army are committing “crimes against humanity” in Gaza, including “extermination; murder, gender persecution targeting Palestinian men and boys; forcible transfer; and torture and inhuman and cruel treatment”. Israel has killed more than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza in an assault that shows no sign of stopping. The report also found an explosion of violence across the occupied West Bank since October 7 and Israeli government efforts to arm and mobilise an already radicalised settler movement. What did Palestinian groups do on October 7? According to the report, the Hamas-led fighters, including members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, carried out waves of attacks against Israeli civilians, including sexual and gender-based violence as well as murder and torture. Children, teenagers and the elderly were also targeted. The report notes the subsequent “desecration of corpses by burning, mutilation and decapitation” as well as “the sexualized desecration of both male and female corpses”. Investigators could not determine if rape had been carried out during the attack due to their inability to access and interview witnesses and victims. So Israel wasn’t at fault at all on October 7? Israel’s response to the attack was also criticised, the report finding that the Israeli army used its Hannibal Directive – a military that allows the army to do anything to stop the capture of Israelis, even kill them. The Israeli military killed at least 14 Israeli civilians because of the directive, the report found. What did Israel do in Gaza? Israel initially said it would assault Gaza to retrieve the captives taken there and to destroy Hamas’s ability to govern. Instead, soon a total siege was imposed on the enclave as collective punishment of the people Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant called “human animals”, the report said. “Given Israel’s repeated assertion that militants are ‘embedded’ within the civilian po[CENSORED]tion, the Commission considers these statements indicate that the Israeli Government has given [the Israeli Security Forces] blanket authorisation to target civilian locations widely and indiscriminately in the Gaza Strip,” it continued. The report also found that widespread sexual and gender-based violence, as well as torture, have all been characteristic of the Israeli response. Men and women were repeatedly forced to strip in public, with the men and boys’ experience filmed and posted online, the Commission concluding that “forced public stripping and nudity and other types of abuse by Israeli military personnel were either ordered or condoned”. What Israel touted as its efforts to “minimise civilian casualties” were also heavily criticised. Instructions to civilians on how to reach “humanitarian zones” were unclear and the time given was insufficient as thousands of starving, injured, and elderly people were forced to walk carrying their entire lives from one spot to another, trying to follow unclear Israeli calculations. Evacuation routes were chaotic, with evacuees stopped and harassed at checkpoints by members of the Israeli military. There are 1.7 million Palestinians displaced within Gaza. How easy were the Commission’s attempts to investigate this? According to the report, requests for information were sent to both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The PA responded positively and provided the Commission with extensive comments on the report’s contents. The Israeli government was uncooperative and failed to respond to six requests for information. The Israeli government has also blocked the Commission’s investigators from accessing medical staff within Israel. What has the official reaction been to the report? Hamas military wing has rejected all accusations that its forces committed sexual violence against Israeli women on October 7. Israel’s diplomatic mission to the UN in Geneva denied the charges in the report in a social media post saying that the Commission of Inquiry “has once again proven that its actions are all in the service of a narrow-led political agenda against Israel”. The Israeli government is considering taking measures against UN agencies operating in Israel and the Palestinian territory, including the possible expulsion of staff, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. It is not clear if this is in response to Wednesday’sreport, or UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ move last week to add Israel to the list of countries and organisations that fail to protect children in conflict. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/13/israel-in-gaza-palestinian-fighters-in-israel-what-the-un-accuses-them-of

AELTC has contingency ready to mark Briton’s career Record prize pot of £50m at this year’s championships Andy Murray leaves the practice courts at Wimbledon in 2023. Photograph: Steven Paston/PA The All England Club is “ready and prepared” to commemorate Andy Murray’s career should the two-times Wimbledon champion announce his retirement plans at the tournament, which will offer record prize money of £50m when it begins on 1 July. At Wimbledon’s annual pre-event press conference, Sally Bolton, the AELTC’s chief executive officer, said that the club would be guided by Murray on whether and how they would mark the Briton’s career. Emma Raducanu celebrates a point against Daria Snigur at the Nottingham Open. Raducanu copes with windy conditions to breeze into Nottingham last eight Read more “We have certainly got plans in place and we’re ready and prepared,” said Bolton. “But ultimately, it’s Andy’s decision and we’ll very much be led by him and we can amend our plans accordingly.” It remains to be seen if Murray, who said this year that he is unlikely to continue playing after this summer, will decide to actually retire at Wimbledon. The Briton hopes to compete at the Olympic Games, but his presence in Paris will probably depend on whether he can compete in doubles. The Olympic team will be named at the end of this week but the Olympic doubles entrants will not be confirmed until July. Should Wimbledon be Murray’s final tournament, Bolton said the AELTC would require no notice. “We’re ready, we’ve got plans,” she said. “They’re very adaptable. We’re clear about what we want to do. But it’s really important that this is Andy’s call and so we’ll be very much led by him in the decision he makes.” Wimbledon will offer a prize pot of £50m for this year’s tournament – an increase of £5.3m from last year. This year, the men’s and women’s champions will receive £2.7m each. First round losers will receive £60,000. The tournament, meanwhile, will continue to open up Centre Court at 1.30pm on most days this year despite suggestions from Murray and Novak Djokovic that play should start earlier after unpredictable weather led to late finishes. Start times at grand slam tournaments have been a general issue recently, with play finishing as late as 3am at the French Open. Wimbledon at least has a strict curfew of 11pm. “We’re still confident we can achieve what we need to do in that period of time,” said Bolton. “We’ve reviewed it, we’ve thought long and hard, and looked at the data around length of matches and the trends that are occurring in that space. We’re very confident and happy with the decision that we’ve made this year.” The All England Club, meanwhile, will continue to provide support for displaced Ukrainian players, including allowing access to facilities and places to train for the duration of the grass-court season. In 2022, the All England Club announced a donation of £100,000 to support the British Red Cross’s Ukraine Crisis Appeal. The club also allocates 1,000 tickets for refugees. Asked whether the AELTC intended to specifically donate to causes in Gaza, where Israeli air attacks and ground incursion into the territory has killed over 30,000 Palestinian people, Deborah Jevans, the All England Club’s new chair, only reiterated that the Wimbledon Foundation donates to the British Red Cross, which allocates its funds to numerous causes, including Gaza and Ukraine. “One of our significant charitable partners is the Red Cross and we provide funds to them through our foundation and they then distribute those funds internationally throughout the world, which include Gaza as well as Ukraine,” said Jevans. “Our approach is that they have a good partnership with them, they are an international charity and they determine where funds go.” https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jun/13/wimbledon-plan-if-andy-murray-announces-retirement-tennis

Vogue’s editor-in-chief says she hopes UK’s next prime minister recognises importance of arts and fashion Anna Wintour is working with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, on this year’s Vogue World event. Photograph: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP As Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, finalised plans for her third instalment of Vogue World, an entertainment extravaganza that will take place in Paris this month, she expressed hope that some of the French attitude towards fashion might rub off on the UK. “I have not read what I assume will be the next prime minister’s stand on the arts but hopefully he can be convinced to support not only the arts organisations but also fashion in this country, which is such an important part of the economy,” she told the Guardian on Monday at Condé Nast’s offices in London. While France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, regularly hosts events for designers at the Élysée Palace, acknowledging the importance of the industry as France’s top export sector, Wintour believes that in the UK the fashion industry continues to be misunderstood, despite contributing more than £60bn to the British economy. “Over the years I have seen prime ministers host events at Downing Street and say a lot of the right things but I’m not sure how knowledgable they are about how many jobs the fashion industry creates in this country or how important it is to [London] in so many different ways. “So I’m hoping whoever the next prime minister is will be very open to it,” she said, adding that she was hopeful “we can all lobby the government to do more”. Ruling out any rumoured plans to move back to the British capital – saying “I love spending time here but New York is very much my home” – Wintour described the importance of fashion to French culture. “I remember flying into Paris for Yves Saint Laurent’s final couture show in 2002 and my driver greeted me almost in floods of tears. Fashion touches the whole city. They realise how important it is and what it means to their culture.” It is in this fashion capital that the third instalment of Vogue World will take place in the Place Vendôme on 23 June, with a cast of more than 500 stars, including the models Kendall Jenner and Ashley Graham, Olympic athletes – the event will be focused on sport – and surprise musical performers descending on the square in the first arrondissement alongside 800 ticketed seats, which are open to the public. Sport is the focus of the Vogue event. Photograph: Bardia Zeinali/Vogue Orchestrated by Wintour and her global team, the event will last for less than 60 minutes but is set to go down in French history as a fashion coup. Asked if she gets nervous, she said: “Of course, it’s a huge undertaking.” Wintour, who has been the global chief content officer for Condé Nast since 2020, says she is working closely with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, on the event, which aims to celebrate 100 years of French fashion. She says Hidalgo has been “amazing from the word go. She understands what we are trying to achieve and who we are trying to honour.” The Paris edition of Vogue World follows its inaugural version in 2022 in which the singer Lil Nas X performed while Serena Williams strode down the cobbled streets of New York’s Meatpacking District. A London iteration in September confirmed Wintour’s position as the most powerful person in fashion as she persuaded everyone from Kate Moss and Stormzy to Ian McKellen to take part, raising more than £2m for London-based arts organisations. This time proceeds from ticket sales will go to Secours Po[CENSORED]ire, a French nonprofit that promotes access to sport for children. Third-row tickets start from £1,895. Some tickets will be given free to fashion students and aspiring athletes. Mark Guiducci, US Vogue’s creative editorial director said they were aiming to raise at least €1m for the cause, but alongside individual contributions from a number of organisations and donors expected the final figure to be much higher. The French fashion editor, Carine Roitfeld, Off-White’s creative director Ibrahim Kamara and fashion historian Alexandre Samson will oversee the event’s fashion content, which is to feature looks from each decade since 1924, the last time the Olympics took place in Paris. Wintour says they are aiming to honour past designers and those who are “very much part of the French scene today.” Each decade will be paired with a different sport, from cycling to breakdancing with looks from houses including Chanel and Balenciaga. Cara Delevingne will host a live stream. “If a ticket isn’t an option for you then the best seat in the house will be watching it live,” said Guiducci. Asked about the growing fusion of sport and fashion such as this summer’s tenniscore trend, Wintour said: “It’s interesting over the years that I’ve worked with Vogue to see how sport has infiltrated really all of fashion. “At Vogue we always embraced the world of sport and integrated it with the world of fashion just as we have done with musicians and theatre and film. I think fashion is so inclusive today and athletes are global superstars of today and tomorrow. It’s the right timing.” https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/article/2024/jun/11/anna-wintour-vogue-world-sport-uk-arts

Black bear apparently opened the vehicle by lifting door handle with its mouth, after breaking into same car last year After a string of vehicle break-ins in a north Canadian town, local residents have identified the culprit: a black bear with a taste for upholstery foam. Awoken by a noise near midnight on 11 June, Kayla Seward, who lives in the Ontario township of Larder Lake, went outside to investigate – and found the sleepy black bear locked inside her car. A photo Kayla Seward took of the damage. Photograph: Kayla Seward A video of the encounter showed a dozy-looking ursid visible behind condensation-misted windows, sitting in the front passenger seat. “He’s nodding off, baby look at him,” Seward said, before her husband opened the car door to release the creature off-camera. The bear had apparently opened the unlocked vehicle by lifting a door handle with its mouth. The same tagged bear had already broken into her vehicle last year, Seward believes. “This bear this time last year broke through my back window and was then transported by the ministry [of Natural Resources and Forestry] 200km away,” Seward told the Guardian. “Well, it walked all the way back to take revenge.” The bear returned last week and broke into three cars around her off grid-home, she said. “Apparently, the bears are attracted to foam, that’s why they eat four-wheeler seats and stuff I was told,” Seward said. Wildlife officers had tried to retrap the nuisance bear last week but were unsuccessful, a spokesperson for the ministry said. Parks Canada estimates that more than 380,000 of North America’s 600,000 black bear po[CENSORED]tion lives in Canada. Black bears are not normally aggressive towards humans, with most interactions occurring near what bears identify as food sources. Last year a federal judge fined a man for shooting a black bear in Jasper national park, rejecting his defence that he was afraid of the predator. In 2021, however, a 26-year-old woman working as a helicopter engineer in Alberta was killed in a rare black bear attack. Seward’s most recent wildlife encounter may prove to be costly, as the bear tore up the upholstery and door panels and defecated after somehow locking itself inside her car. “Nothing a little duct tape won’t fix,” Seward joked in another video as she inspected the interior of her Honda Civic. Seward received a rude shock when she contacted her insurance company who said her policy would not pay out as she did not choose comprehensive coverage, leaving her to repair the damage herself. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/12/ontario-black-bear-car

Declan Rice will be England’s midfield shield while Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden can spark the attack. Photograph: Nick Potts/PA All-out attack could be the way to go for England at the Euros considering the array of talent at Gareth Southgate’s disposal and the defensive uncertainty. Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham, to name a few, have all had incredible seasons at club level and if they can translate that to the international scene, it could make England one of the most feared sides in the competition. However, getting the balance right will not be easy. Southgate’s success with England has been built on strong foundations. He is a defensively minded manager and he cannot be criticised for that because it has taken England to a European Championship final and World Cup semi‑final but never before has he had such an exciting group of forwards to choose from. It is easier said than done when coming up against the continent’s best but it would make sense to change old habits and go for it. He may see it as a risk but it would be a calculated one. Everyone witnessed how Foden embraced the responsibilities that are involved with being a No 10 for a top club and I would love to see him play more centrally for his country where he can do the most damage. England need to harness the form Foden has shown in the Premier League and give him the freedom to hurt opponents. He was at the centre of everything within a fantastic Manchester City side, leading to a fourth consecutive title. Even if you had not seen what he had done all season, he managed to sum up his qualities on the final day as they won the title. These are pressure games and in the opening three minutes he had created a chance from nothing and thrashed a shot into the top corner to take City one step closer to the title. If he can have the same influence for England, it could be seismic. Kane is a guaranteed starter and is another peaking with 44 goals in all competitions in his first season at Bayern Munich. Moving to Germany has not derailed his prolific scoring record and a year at a club like Bayern can only help his growth. He will be excited by the players behind him creating chances. Saka had nine goal assists in the Premier League this season and scored 16 as he continues to flourish. This is the most exciting and attacking England squad we have ever seen. Bellingham has just won La Liga with Real Madrid. A lot of the season under Carlo Ancelotti he has been playing as a No 10 but also as a false 9 at times and is another attack-minded player in the mix. For all of his qualities going forward, Bellingham is not the best off the ball defensively but that is never going to be his strength, so trying to make him sit will not work. He has become one of the best in Europe thanks to his late runs that have brought him 19 La Liga goals this past season. Harry Kane hit 44 goals for Bayern in his first season with the club. Photograph: Eddie Keogh/The FA/Getty Images Any team with Kane, Saka, Foden and Bellingham would be exciting to watch. I would personally like to see Cole Palmer start because he, too, has been incredible this season after moving to Chelsea from Manchester City, enjoying 33 goal involvements in 34 Premier League appearances (22 goals and 11 assists). That would be with Bellingham dropping back to play with Declan Rice in a 4-2-3-1 but this might be too adventurous for Southgate. However I think when you have a group like this, playing those in the best form can make the difference. That front four exudes confidence. Southgate, however, often prefers putting out an experienced team in major tournaments, knowing that those who have accumulated a large number of caps can cope with the occasion. This will be a top-heavy team in terms of attacking players. That is where the highest quality is, leaving Southgate wondering how he can bring balance. He will need to be tactically astute to get the right answers and that is not straightforward when the squad is together for such a short period. The players are used to working in complex systems under Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Thomas Tuchel, for example, but they will need to pick up their various responsibilities quickly. The potential issues in defence add to the complexity of what Southgate has to navigate. He will need to decide whether to be more gung-ho to counteract being susceptible at the back or to offer extra protection. Without a natural second defensive midfielder, there will be a lot of onus on Rice to provide the protection the defence needs, especially one that will begin without a recognised left-back and with a centre-back pairing who have not played together regularly. Southgate will need to be clever to ensure the liberation of his attackers does not make England excessively open at the back. One solution would be to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, although this would be a difficult choice to make because it would be tough to leave out Kyle Walker, or Stones at centre-back from where they can move into midfield next to Rice, giving Bellingham greater opportunity to push forward. Gareth Southgate has decisions to make over his first-choice XI. Photograph: Eddie Keogh/The FA/Getty Images There are difficult choices to make for the back-up on the bench too – an indication of how good English players have been this season. Ollie Watkins would be my choice as Kane’s understudy. He scored 19 for Aston Villa and assisted a further 13, the highest in the Premier League, to help secure Champions League football for his club. Watkins is likely to be one of a group of forward-thinkers desperate to make an impact off the bench. We will potentially see Anthony Gordon, Eberechi Eze and Palmer in that role. They can all be gamechangers. Every fan would love to see the England men’s team just go for it at a major tournament for the first time in a long time. It might make Southgate a little uncomfortable because it goes against what he has built in the past for England but it could offer the extra edge needed at major tournaments. https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jun/11/the-best-way-for-england-to-approach-euro-2024-all-out-attack

The Przewalski’s horses’ grazing will benefit pollinators, small mammals and ground-nesting birds, helping restore the steppes ecosystem. Photograph: D Rosengren/Global Rewilding Alliance A group of the world’s last wild horses have returned to their native Kazakhstan after an absence of about 200 years. The seven horses, four mares from Berlin and a stallion and two other mares from Prague, were flown to the central Asian country on a Czech air force transport plane. The wild horses, known as Przewalski’s horses, once roamed the vast steppe grasslands of central Asia, where horses are believed to have been first domesticated about 5,500 years ago. People are known to have been riding and milking horses in northern Kazakhstan nearly 2,000 years before the first records of domestication in Europe. Human activity, including hunting the animals for their meat, as well as road building, which fragmented their po[CENSORED]tion, drove the horses close to extinction in the 1960s. Filip Mašek, Prague zoo’s spokesperson, said: “These are the only remaining wild horses in the world. Mustangs are domesticated horses that went wild.” The horses reintroduced into Kazakhstan are descended from two groups that survived in Munich and Prague zoos.

These horses have to stand for the entire journey – they can’t sit down, mainly because their blood needs to circulate properly. It is a 30-hour journey in total, and the horses will only survive if they stand all the way,” he said. Returning the horses from Prague zoo would help increase biodiversity in the region, said Mašek. “The horses spread seeds in their dung and when they dig up plants, they help the water get down into the soil. They also fertilise the steppe with their dung. “For me”, he said, “the goal of a modern zoo is not just about protecting and breeding endangered species, it is about returning them to the wild where they belong.” Prague zoo’s director, Miroslav Bobek, said the horses’ arrival was “almost a miracle”, given the relatively short preparation for the relocation and unexpected floods in central Kazakhstan last month. “This is the beginning of a whole new chapter in the story of the last wild horse on the planet,” he said in a press release.

The project, which involved nine flights of horses, continued until 2019 when the po[CENSORED]tion stabilised, said Mašek, adding that there were now about 1,500 of the wild horses in Mongolia. Mašek said the plan was to transport a total of 40 horses to central Kazakhstan over the next five years. This first stage of the horse reintroduction involved the Kazakh government’s forestry and wildlife committee, Prague zoo, Tierpark Berlin zoo, Frankfurt Zoological Society and the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan.

We asked every expert we could Every day we interview the world’s leading climate scientists about the state of the world. These experts are increasingly alarmed, terrified about the future and furious their warnings continue to be ignored. For a one-of-a-kind reporting project, we set about trying to measure just how worried they are. Environment editor Damian Carrington contacted 843 senior authors of recent reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN’s expert body. The high number of responses we received – 380 – reflected the strength of their alarm. Close to half of the experts anticipate at least 3C of global heating, a cataclysmic prospect. We understand that reports such as this can lead to a feeling of despair. However, as some scientists pointed out, hope lies in ensuring we keep ourselves and the next generation well informed so that we can push those in power to make decisions that will benefit our planet. The Guardian’s environment team works tirelessly to expose the impact commercial and political greed is having on our planet.

Far-right religious parties are backing the bill with a view to inserting changes and limiting conscription. Ultra-Orthodox Jews block a highway in Bnei Brak as they protest against their conscription into the Israeli armed forces on April 1, 2024 [Oren Ziv/AFP] The Israeli Knesset has voted to revive a bill that would end exemption on military conscription for some ultra-Orthodox religious students. The 63-57 vote in the parliament late on Monday means that the legislation will now head to committee review. The return of the bill from the previous parliament has provoked anger from opponents as well as those that say it does not extend conscription sufficiently, as Israel conducts the war in Gaza and deals with expanding conflict with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other Iran-linked forces across the region. The legislation aims to slowly ramp up conscription among the ultra-Orthodox, whose members have for decades enjoyed exemptions to study the Torah. However, it would also lower the age of exemption from mandatory military service for ultra-Orthodox Jews from 26 to 21, thereby limiting the numbers that could be called up to serve. That saw far-right and religious factions support the vote, alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while it was opposed by more centrist and military-linked factions, who say it does not do enough to ensure conscription at a time when the country increasingly needs soldiers. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant voted against the bill, saying it signals an engagement in “petty politics at the expense” of the Israeli military. Opposition leader Yair Lapid wrote in a post on X that it was “one of the most despicable moments of humiliation of the Israeli Knesset ever” and characterised the legislation as a “law of evasion and insubordination”. The vote came one day after former general and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz and former army chief Gadi Eisenkot resigned from the emergency coalition government over major differences on managing the war and planning for the future of the Gaza Strip. The bill was originally put forward by Gantz in 2022 under the previous government, but he now opposes it, saying it is inadequate in responding to the current military needs of Israel. The far-right religious parties, who are the main backers of Netanyahu, strongly oppose a general expansion of conscription to include the ultra-Orthodox. However, they backed the legislation in order to include changes during the review stage. “We have a great opportunity that should not be missed. The ultra-Orthodox public must not be pushed into a corner,” far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who is leading the charge in expanding illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, said in a statement. He was confronted by angry members of some of the families of Israelis still held captive in Gaza on Tuesday, who demanded the government does more to bring them back. Some 120 captives, about 80 of whom are believed to be alive, remain in the Palestinian territory. The Israeli military killed at least 274 Palestinians and injured close to 700 others during attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp last week that led to the rescue of four captives. Israeli attacks on Gaza since the start of the war have killed at least at least 37,124 people killed and wounded 84,712, with thousands more missing under the rubble and presumed dead. Israel launched its assault on the besieged territory after a Hamas-led attack in southern Israel killed about 1,140 people. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/11/israels-knesset-advances-contentious-ultra-orthodox-conscription-law

But there is one important difference between the two cases: The genocide in Gaza is not taking place in the dark. Smoke rises from an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Friday, May 31, 2024 AP Photo/Abdel Kareem Hana] While our eyes were on Rafah’s “Block 2371” – the small area in south Gaza which the Israeli military designated as a “safe humanitarian zone” on May 22 but went on to bomb just four days later, massacring at least 45 civilians sheltering in tents – we were reminded of a 15-year-old confidential cable intercepted by WikiLeaks describing the plight of civilians in the final days of the Sri Lankan civil war. Dispatched in May 2009 from the United States embassy in Colombo to the US Department of State in Washington, DC, the cable recounts how the bishop of Mannar had called to ask the embassy to intervene on behalf of seven Catholic priests caught in a so-called “No Fire Zone” which had been set up as a safe space by the Sri Lankan military. The bishop estimated that there were still 60,000 to 75,000 civilians confined within that particular zone, located on a small sliver of coastal land about twice the size of Manhattan’s Central Park. Following the bishop’s phone call, the US ambassador spoke with Sri Lanka’s foreign minister, asking him to alert the military that most of the people remaining in the “No Fire Zone” were civilian. He was, it seems, afraid that due to intense artillery shelling the coastal strip had become a death trap. Not unlike the Israeli military’s efforts to push Palestinian civilians from across the Gaza Strip into the so-called “safe humanitarian zone” in Rafah, at one point, the Sri Lankan military had urged the civilian po[CENSORED]tion to gather in areas it designated as “No Fire Zones” by dropping leaflets from planes and making announcements on loudspeakers. As an estimated 330,000 internally displaced people assembled in these zones, the United Nations erected makeshift camps and, together with several humanitarian organisations, began to provide food and medical assistance to the desperate po[CENSORED]tion. The Tamil Tigers, the armed group fighting the Sri Lankan military, however, also appeared to have retreated into these “No Fire Zones”. The fighters had prepared in advance a complex network of bunkers and fortifications in these areas and went on to mount their final stand against the military there. While the Sri Lankan military claimed that it was engaged in “humanitarian operations” aimed at “liberating the civilians”, an analysis of satellite images as well as numerous testimonies reveal that the military continuously pounded the enclosed “No Fire Zones” with mortar and artillery fire, transforming these designated safe spaces into killing fields. Anywhere between 10,000 to 40,000 caged-in civilians perished in the so-called safe zones while thousands and thousands more were severely injured often laying for hours and days on the ground without receiving medical attention because virtually every hospital – whether permanent or makeshift – had been hit by artillery. The parallels between Sri Lanka 2009 and Gaza 2024 are uncanny. In both cases, the military displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians, instructing them to gather in “safe zones” where they would not be harmed. In both cases, the militaries proceeded to bomb the designated “safe zones,” indiscriminately killing and injuring a large number of civilians. In both cases, the militaries also bombed medical units responsible for saving the lives of the civilians. In both cases, military spokespeople justified the strikes, admitting that they had bombed the safe zones, but claiming that the Tamil Tigers and Hamas were responsible for the civilian deaths since they had hidden among the civilian po[CENSORED]tion, using them as shields. In both cases, Western countries criticised the killing of innocents, but continued supplying the militaries with weapons. In Sri Lanka’s case, Israel was among the main suppliers of weapons. In both cases, the UN claimed that the warring parties were carrying out war crimes and crimes against humanity. In both cases, the governments mobilised a cadre of experts who used legal acrobatics to justify the massacres. Their interpretation of the rules of engagement and of the application of fundamental concepts of international humanitarian law including distinction, proportionality, necessity and the very notions of safe zones and warnings were put in the service of eliminatory violence. But there is also one important difference between the two cases. The genocide in Gaza is not taking place in the dark. Whereas in Sri Lanka it took time to gather evidence of violations and carry out independent investigations, the global attention on Gaza – and the live-streamed images of beheaded babies and charcoaled bodies in “Block 2371” – can prevent the repetition of the Sri Lankan horror. Media outlets have already shown how the “safe area” south of Wadi Gaza has been pummelled by 2,000-pound bombs, killing thousands of Palestinians. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has collected evidence and is now seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Galant for their alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has observed Israel’s deployment of relentless violence against civilians and ordered the government to “immediately halt” its offensive in Rafah, specifying that its actions have not been sufficient “to alleviate the immense risk [including the risk of not being protected by the Genocide Convention] to which the Palestinian po[CENSORED]tion is exposed as a result of the military offensive in Rafah”. Israel responded to the ruling of the highest court of the land by continuing its bombing of safe zones. The Block 2371 massacre came only 48 hours after the ICJ order. Less than a fortnight later, another Israeli air attack on a UN-run school in the Nuseirat camp, which had also been designated as a “safe zone”, killed at least 40 people, mainly women and children. On June 9, an Israeli operation to free four Israeli captives at the same camp claimed the lives of 274 Palestinians and injured hundreds of others. All eyes are on Rafah, and the rest of the devastated Gaza Strip, yet Israel is undeterred, carrying out its crimes under the limelight, while the US, the United Kingdom, France and Germany continue to supply it with weapons. The ICJ and ICC have had their say, as have South Africa, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Norway. The university encampments and the global solidarity movement are calling on their governments to apply an arms embargo and demand a ceasefire as they witness how Israel has transformed the safe zones it has created into killing fields. Like in other situations of extreme colonial violence, Israel’s acceleration of its extermination practices in Gaza and its clumsy attempt to portray it as abiding by the law are symptoms of the twilight of its dispossession project. Former colonial powers like the UK, France and Germany should know that. The US should know that. All eyes are on Gaza. All eyes are on them, too.
