Proposed memorials have become flashpoints in a wider struggle over history and political power Disputes provoked by public monuments, flags and symbols are intensifying as the USโs 250th birthday approaches next month, and none are so contentious as those proposed by Donald Trump. Among the recent projects planned by the US president are a Garden of Heroes, a monumental โFreedomโ arch, a massive ballroom and turning the reflecting pool at the Washington monument the color of a Bahamian luxury hotel pool.

Thousands have protested in the capital, Tirana, this week against a planned luxury resort backed by Donald Trumpโs daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Groundwork has begun on the $1.6bn complex in an area long seen as one of the Mediterraneanโs most environmentally sensitive, containing 200 species of birds including flamingos and Dalmatian pelicans. After builders began erecting a concrete-based, barbed wire-topped fence around the site, alarm turned to public outrage at the environmental damage and lack of political transparency around the deal.

A debt-laden caregiver attempting suicide is the catalyst for him finding new meaning to life from a ward of terminally ill patients in touching ensemble drama โYou know the law of entropy? Life is a process of constant decay,โ ssays a doctor in this Chinese hospital comedy drama โ but not that youโd know it from the gabbling, frenetic first half-hour of director Chen Sichengโs death-fixated film. Being Towards Death kicks off with caregiver Xiaobing (Jiang Long) about to throw himself off the roof because, after a scheme to flog his superiors care robots fails, heโs in hock to triad loan sharks. Thankfully the film later settles into an intermittently touching ensemble drama with a meta tint; albeit one that doesnโt fully grasp the profundities itโs aiming for. Hauled back from the ledge, Xiaobing is talked by the hospital director into leading a project studying mental health interventions in terminal cancer care. So he finds himself among the โWard 10 Fearless Squadโ, a group of patients whose outlook is as plucky as their diagnoses are grim. Before long, he has co-opted film director Dao (Wang Zichuan) to make a documentary about his roomies, including bullish property mogul Mau (Cai Ming), browbeaten first son Bowen (Huang Yi) and fib-spinning poppet, Xiaobing (Ye Quanxi) โ nicknamed Little Bing.

(Matador) Better known as a formidable free jazz saxophonist, these thrashing songs about the artistโs Tennessee childhood home share a similar genre-pushing intensity On opening track OCD, Zoh Amba stops a twinkling, rootsy guitar melody and starts over, searching for the right way to tell the story of a boy diagnosed with โdreaminโ all the timeโ. Amba lands on a queasy combination of empathy and conspiracy (โsaid that mind needs fixinโ / gunna end up like everybodyโ), churned up by thrashing, violent strumming โ the kind that causes blisters and wrecked strings. These cryptic postcards from Ambaโs home town of Kingsport, Tennessee describe childhood memories with fresh eyes: they left at 17 and returned only recently, now in their mid-20s. Blending gruff reality with poetic licence, Eyes Full is a rugged, experimental country rock record that feels deeply lived in, despite representing an abrupt change in sound: Amba is best known as a prodigious free jazz saxophonist.

(Felt) From birdsong to pool balls, this Lithuanian musician โ a graduate of Copenhagenโs buzzy Rhythmic Music Conservatory โ mixes beguiling found sounds into left-field pop and modern classical Copenhagenโs Rhythmic Music Conservatory has become associated with a specific gauzy, esoteric sound, which draws on, and reshapes, classical instrumentation and pop songwriting. Think ML Buch, Astrid Sonne and Erika de Casier, all of whom have graduated from the institution since 2019. Following in their footsteps is Lithuanian musician Gintฤ Preisaitฤ, who works with piano, voice and electronics to create atmospheric, unsettling ambient compositions. Instruments of Forgetting and the Singing Bone, Preisaitฤโs first solo release under her own name, draws on her background in improvisational techniques and composing for large ensembles. With additional instrumentation from a cluster of collaborators โ strings, woodwind, tape โ she presents eight tracks that build in intensity through her collage-like assembling of strange sounds and effects.

Since 2015, destructive fires have undone years of effort to reduce ozone levels, underscoring a growing public health crisis The highly destructive wildfires that have battered the US and North America in recent years have significantly increased emissions and been linked to tens of thousands of premature deaths, but their impact on air quality is greater than previously known, according to new research. A study published in Science on Thursday found that, since 2015, wildfires have reversed US progress toward ozone air quality standards, as the worsening pollution caused by wildfire smoke has undone years of efforts to reduce emissions. Ground-level ozone (O3) is created when pollutants from cars, refineries and industrial sources reacts with sunlight, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Continue reading...
Ron Wyden tells of โgrave concernsโ over plan, first revealed by Guardian, to hold families at sprawling Louisiana facility The ranking member on the US Senateโs influential finance committee has demanded transparency over a proposed โfirst-of-its-kindโ ICE family and child detention center in Alexandria, Louisiana, citing reporting by the Guardian that first revealed the Trump administrationโs plans in March. Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, has written to the projectโs contractors and to the Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] expressing concerns over conflicts of interest, environmental contamination, and โthe absence of a public processโ in the centerโs planning.

Politicians on the right have politicised Novakโs death and suggested there is a โtwo-tierโ policing system that victimises white people Good morning. The most interesting event of the day may well turn out to be one taking place late tonight, when Andy Burnham, the Labour candidate for Makerfield and potential next PM, takes part in a BBC byelection Question Time special. Yesterday, Burnham said that at some point today he would give a more considered response to the Henry Nowak murder, and the issues it has raised about policing and race equality. It is not clear yet whether we will get that response on QT, or before. But this morning the government seems to be firming up its opposition to those claiming that what happened to Nowak was evidence of โtwo-tier justiceโ. Reform UK is the main party using this phrase, but some Tories have made the same argument. Yesterday, Keir Starmer said he did not accept that Britain has two-tier policing. This morning Lucy Rigby, the chief secretary to the Treasury, has been doing an interview round, and she told Sky News this allegation was a โslurโ on the police. Asked about the claim, she said: Fundamentally, I think that is a slur on the thousands of police officers that go out to work every day, putting themselves in harmโs way to serve the public, to try and prevent crime, and to keep us all safe. The suggestion that we have two-tier policing, which suggests at its heart that the police are on a sort of systemic basis pushing the interests of one group above another โ I genuinely think is a slur on all those police officers that are serving this country day and night, seven days a week.

Thousands took to the streets of Tirana for a third straight day on Wednesday, some of them brandishing inflatable flamingos in a nod to feared environmental damage, amid mounting calls for the project to be blocked.

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...
