Civil rights scholar Kimberlรฉ Crenshaw warns Birmingham City Universityโs decision part of extremist campaign that has โtravelled across Atlanticโ A leading US civil rights scholar has urged Birmingham City University (BCU) to reverse its decision to close its black studies course, comparing it to the attack on diversity, equity and inclusion in the US. Kimberlรฉ Crenshaw, a professor of law at the University of California, Los Angeles and Columbia University, expressed โprofound concernโ about plans to withdraw the MA in black studies and global justice, just months after the course was launched.

โThe first heatwaves of the season reveal how โill-prepared governments across the continent are to protect people from increasingly dangerous temperatures โข Donโt get This Is Europe delivered to your inbox? Sign up here Meteorological summer has begun, ushered in with scorching heat that struck before spring was up. Although western Europe is now mostly free from last weekโs heat dome โ which shattered temperature records for May in the UK and Ireland โ it is already bracing for yet another sweltering summer. Oppressive days, restless nights and furious fires are brewing. On Tuesday, the World Meteorological Organisation warned us all to prepare for the imminent return of the warming weather pattern El Niรฑo. Scientists have not worked out how many people died during this latest bout of hot weather, but one environmental epidemiologistโs early modelling pegged it at 250 extra deaths in the UK alone on the weekend before temperatures peaked. The full death toll is likely to be particularly high because the heat struck before people had properly adjusted their behaviour to stay safe in the heat. Continue reading...
It should have taken years, but Ash Koosha made a drama about Iranโs anti-government protests in weeks โ and now itโs the first AI-made movie to screen at a major film festival. It could transform indie film-making, claims the director Next week a breakthrough 75-minute drama about the brutal crackdown in Iran on anti-government protesters in January will premiere at the Tribeca film festival in New York. It is called Dreams of Violets and is based on journalism, video footage and eyewitness accounts. โI would say 80% of it is a recreation of events that actually happened,โ says its Iranian-British director Ash Koosha. But Dreams of Violets is a work of fiction, not a documentary: a drama following a group of strangers caught up in the protests, who meet by chance in an alleyway. How on earth has Koosha managed to pull together a drama about the killings in less than six months? The answer, it turns out, is by using artificial intelligence. Every image and character in Dreams of Violets is AI-generated. Koosha says he created the characters by describing their physical appearances, using people he has known in the past as references. It would be too dangerous to base characters on living people in Iran, he says. โBecause of the security issue, it would not be safe for the characters to even remotely resemble someone.โ Continue reading...

Newport Street Gallery, London White may be a talented musician but as a visual artist, heโs a nonstarter. Not even the collaborations with Ai Weiwei and Damien Hirst can save this show Nobody can phone it in like a famous conceptual artist. Invited to customise one of rock star Jack Whiteโs amplifiers, Ai Weiwei has inscribed the F-word in buttons of various sizes and colours across its front. Itโs a cynical, contemptuous gesture, but also a marvellously louche one, reminding you of the dangerous, nihilistic yet creative spirit that this exhibition of Whiteโs art totally lacks. White was huge in the 00s as one half of duo the White Stripes, with Meg White, and his solo career is still going strong. Clearly the art world wants to be his friend. This show is on at Damien Hirstโs Newport Street Gallery and its luxurious hardback catalogue includes an interview with him by the uber-curator Hans Ulrich Obrist. Hirst has also customised an amp with โ guess what? โ a model of a rotting cowโs head. In addition, he has collaborated with White on works featuring other hackneyed Hirst tropes: an eternally floating ping-pong ball and a spin painting. Continue reading...

After identifying the products, Choice on Wednesday formally asked the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to take action against the retailers and begin a review of the countryโs product safety laws more generally.

Home secretaryโs condenmation of โmisinformation and inflammatory commentaryโ comes after death threats to police UK politics live โ latest updates The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has warned of a โdangerous undercurrentโ in the wake of the murder of Henry Nowak, who was falsely accused of racism by a Sikh man who had fatally stabbed him with a ceremonial dagger.

Theatre503, London Hope still resides against horror in this collection of short plays from Palestinian playwrights, poets and artists What are the basic requirements of theatre-making? Actors, writers, resource and rehearsal space, to name a few. What happens when these factors are narrowed to their most dangerous extremities? Companies like Belarus Free Theatre and the Freedom Theatre have shown that theatre does not stop its production even as bombs and bullets assail the building. The work finds its way to an audience. This is certainly the case with this collection of nine short plays written by Palestinian playwrights, poets and artists, and directed by Ahmed Masoud and Micaela Miranda. Four writers are currently in Gaza while two are former political prisoners, including Walid Daqqa, one of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners, who died in custody in 2024. An extract from The Martyrs Return to Ramallah (translated by Julia Choucair Vizoso) is both absurdist and haunting, featuring the dead bodies of prisoners stored in Israeli prisons and denied burials, who begin to talk to each other. At Theatre 503, London, until 6 June Continue reading...

Wigmore Hall, London The Norwegian singerโs remarkable ability to inhabit a character, her warmth on stage and the control and tenderness she brought to the more intimate songs made this a very special recital Wigmore Hall is turning 125, its director John Gilhooley was being granted honorary membership of the Royal Philharmonic Society, and everyone in the audience was shouted a free drink, but there was another cause for celebration on Sunday night. With Lise Davidsen, the worldโs most in-demand opera singer, giving an all-Schubert recital it was a case of standing room only. The Norwegian soprano has a Rolls-Royce instrument, more than capable of filling a house the size of the Metropolitan Opera, but up close she brought other qualities to the table. Her disarming warmth in seemingly off-the-cuff spoken introductions put the audience entirely at ease. Her ability to inhabit a character, as she does on stage, ensured songs such as Gretchen am Spinnrade and Die Junge Nonne were dramatic highlights. The former opened with a throbbing intensity and built to an eruption of volcanic proportions. Her fledgling nun seethed with a scared rapture that verged on the dangerously corporeal.
