      US immigration crackdown forces teens to caretake after parents are detained

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 22:21

    As federal agents target families, teens are left to care for siblings – from accessing bank accounts to medical records

    Vilma Cruz, a mother of two, had just arrived at her newly leased Louisiana home when federal agents surrounded her vehicle in the driveway. She had just enough time to call her oldest son before they smashed the passenger window and detained her.

    The 38-year-old Honduran house painter was swept up in an immigration crackdown that has largely targeted Kenner, a New Orleans suburb with a large Hispanic population, where some parents at risk of deportation had rushed to arrange emergency custody plans for their children in case they were arrested.

      Conservatives would end 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 22:00

    Party would also abolish zero-emission vehicle mandate, cutting legal requirement on carmakers to sell EVs

    The Conservatives have announced proposals to end the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars and cut the legal requirement on car manufacturers to sell electric vehicles.

    A Conservative government would abolish the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, ending the legal requirement for manufacturers to sell a fixed rising percentage of zero-emission vehicles each year – 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans by 2030, increasing to 100% by 2035. It would also completely end the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars .

      Accidental Tourist review – it’s oddly lovely to see Stephen Mulhern’s gratitude for getting naked

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 22:00

    He’s so anxious that it took the presenter 47 years to even try ham. This travelogue, in which Ant and Dec send him to South Korea to overcome phobias – including nudity – is strangely charming

    What can I tell you about Stephen Mulhern? He’s an ITV presenter (Dancing on Ice, Deal or No Deal, You Bet), magician, longtime friend of Ant and Dec, he’s never had hummus or tasted a prawn, and he’s only recently been introduced to ham. “I like what I like,” he says simply, when Ant (or Dec – I never did have them straight in my mind and it’s honestly too late to start now) asks him how it is possible to have avoided ham for 47 years.

    “He’s odd,” says Dec (maybe – see above) fondly. “He’s an odd man.” “Sheltered,” supplements Ant. “Set in his ways.”

      Benjamin Netanyahu blames Anthony Albanese for Bondi beach terror attack, as world leaders express horror

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 21:44

    Israeli prime minister claims the Australian government ‘let the disease’ of antisemitism spread ‘and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today’

    Leaders around the world expressed their horror at Sunday’s terrorist attack on Bondi beach, in which at least 16 people died , mixed in some cases with harsh words for the Australian government for alleged shortcomings in tackling antisemitism over the past two years.

    The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he had written to his Australian counterpart, Anthony Albanese, in August, warning that the government’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state “pours fuel on the antisemitic fire … emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets”. He claimed Albanese had “replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement”.

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 21:36

    The move marks a major shift for Ukraine, which has fought to join Nato as a safeguard against Russian attacks

    Ukraine is willing to drop its ambitions to join Nato in exchange for western security guarantees, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said before talks in Berlin.

    The Ukrainian president aired the concession as he flew to the German capital, where he began meetings with Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner in efforts to end the war with Russia.

      Anna Christie review – Michelle Williams is miscast in Eugene O’Neill misfire

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 21:00

    St Ann’s Warehouse, New York

    Oscar-nominated actor struggles to convince in an emotionally inert attempt to resurrect one of the playwright’s lesser-known works

    Though it won a Pulitzer prize in 1922, Eugene O’Neill ’s social melodrama Anna Christie is not among the venerated playwright’s most famous works. For the better part of a century, ambitious theater artists have endeavored to climb the mountains of Long Day’s Journey Into Night and The Iceman Cometh . Less so for Anna Christie, a strange piece about a supposedly ruined woman trying to get her life back in order.

    It’s an interesting choice of vehicle for star Michelle Williams , making her return to the stage after a nine-year hiatus. Anna Christie is an erratic and now quite dated play, one whose moral outlook is hard to parse, its shifts in tone sudden and varied. There’s also the matter that at 45, Williams is about a quarter-century older than O’Neill’s heroine, who is meant to be a hardened and battered young woman trying to start her adult life on new footing.

      Pilot narrowly avoids ‘midair collision’ with US air force plane near Venezuela

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 20:28

    JetBlue pilot calls incident ‘outrageous’ and says US military refueling tanker didn’t have transponder turned on

    A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a US air force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.

    “We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. “They passed directly in our flight path ... They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

      Calvert-Lewin header earns Leeds point after Henderson strikes for Brentford

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 6 days ago - 18:48

    It had been a game to reflect the tyranny of analytics-based football, when thought and expression are abandoned for the playbook, where set pieces rule, and long throws become key events. For Brentford’s Michael Kayode, read Leeds’ Ethan Ampadu, both taking an age before hurling the ball into a mass of bodies, and the ball being headed away.

    As it stands, scoring a goal from open play remains a valid tactic, and it was from such a situation that Rico Henry set up Jordan Henderson to score his first goal in English football since December 2021, via an unfortunate deflection off the Leeds defender Jaka Bijol. In turn, Leeds found their equaliser from open play, Dominic Calvert-Lewin nodding home Wilfried Gnonto’s cross. Henry and Gnonto, both substitutes, had added a dab of quality to a previously constipated contest.
