If the results find a more reliable way of detecting tumours that require treatment then advisors could recommend expanding eligibility for screening to a wider group of men.
โBrash, disingenuous, lethalโ: thatโs how the 67-year-old actor describes his younger self. He lied to his partners, disrespected his audiences, betrayed his friends. Has this indiscreet, unreliable heartbreaker finally grown up and settled down? Rupert Everett is struggling with the heatwave. It reminds him of the summer of 1976, when he was 17, basking in the sun, serene as a sloth, his future spread out ahead of him. Itโs so different now. โWhen you were young, hot weather was nice. But when youโre chubby like me now, itโs not so nice,โ he says. โYouโre not chubby,โ says his publicist, with reassuring brio. Continue reading...
Sisters in Yellow by Mieko Kawakami; All Flesh by Ananda Devi; The White Desert by Luis Lรณpez Carrasco; The Home of the Drowned by Elin Anna Labba Sisters in Yellow by Mieko Kawakami, translated by Laurel Taylor and Hitomi Yoshio (Picador, ยฃ16.99) Kawakamiโs latest opens with a bang, as narrator Hana learns that her old friend Kimiko has been charged with abduction. This MacGuffin takes us to their friendship in late-1990s Tokyo, when teen Hana and the older woman open a bar called Lemon: โYellow attracts money.โ But itโs a turbulent ride and soon Hana is in a world of organised crime. โThe world is crazy. I feel like Iโm living in a manga.โ Sheโs not the only one, and you need an appetite for Kawakamiโs style, which prefers to explore rather than explain โ people come and go, buildings burn down, cancer is diagnosed, almost at random โ but the relentless rush means thereโs no time to get bored. At its best โ as in a scene where Hanaโs unreliable mother wants to borrow 2m yen for investment in lingerie that helps โyour spine and organs move back to where theyโre supposed to beโ โ this is a story both absurd and horrifying. All Flesh by Ananda Devi, translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman (Pushkin, ยฃ12.99) โForgive me for starting this story with bodily, unpalatable origins.โ You may as well โ itโs all like that. In an unnamed European country, a schoolgirl โborn with no urge but to consumeโ is getting bigger and bigger. โMy gut, my ass, my thighs โ they were all set on reaching the farthest corners of the world.โ She blames her gluttony on the need to silence the voice of her dead twin sister, who was โabsorbed into my tissuesโ in the womb. She hates school, where other kids mock her, as though her own self-disgust werenโt enough. After a blackly comic scene where she gets stuck in her bedroom doorframe like โan uncooperative corkโ, she falls in love with the lonely carpenter who arrives to widen the door โ but there are more twists to come. This powerful story is deeply physical, but driven by a compelling voice describing the torment of a girl who is โthe psychical mirror of our time โฆ immoderation made manifestโ. Continue reading...
Better, more reliable, and cheaper? Isn't that the story every generation?
Life is tough on the autonomous territory โ not least for its footballers, as this documentary testifies As the football-industrial complex churns out ever more eyeball-aimed product, precision engineered to trigger either triumphalism or nostalgia (or both), thereโs occasionally room for stories like this about Greenlandโs eight team championship playoff: scrappy chronicles of big-hearted underachievers in obscure corners of the football universe. (One of them, about perennial losers American Samoa, even got turned into a feature film directed by Taika Waititi.) Could Greenlandโs strugglers and strivers end up as characters in a big-screen comedy? Stranger things have happened and, after the countryโs surprise arrival in the geopolitical spotlight, this might yet be the best way for outsiders to get some understanding of the place. As it is, one of the main virtues of this film is to convey just how tough life is in the worldโs largest island (an โautonomous territoryโ, part of the kingdom of Denmark). We see the team captain, Patrick Frederiksen (a charismatic presence and one of the documentaryโs main characters), moodily hunting for seals, giant icebergs floating yards away from the edge of a football pitch, and the non-appearance of half the team for the week-long playoffs due to cancelled flights (travelling by boat takes longer, but is more reliable). The team in question is the slightly unmemorably named B-67, who hail from Greenlandโs capital Nuuk; they appear to have an Old Firm-ish sort of rivalry with Nagdlunguak, from the islandโs third largest town, Ilulissat. The shortness of the playing season, it is regularly pointed out, is one of the main factors hampering Greenlandโs football, as there are only a few short summer weeks where the place thaws enough for outdoor matches. The aforementioned travel issues mean, moreover, itโs almost impossible to arrange games against anyone other than local sides. Continue reading...
Senior lawyers call on prime minister to request Indian prosecutors drop charges that would breach double jeopardy rule Four senior lawyers, including the former attorney general Dominic Grieve, have written to Keir Starmer urging him to request that Indian prosecutors drop charges against the British national Jagtar Singh Johal on the basis that continued prosecution would be in manifest breach of the double jeopardy rule which prevents someone being tried twice for the same offence. Johal has been held in an Indian jail for eight years, and in March last year was acquitted of the terrorist charges laid against him in a court in Punjab. The court found the prosecutors had โmiserably failedโ to present any reliable evidence, despite having had seven years to do so. Continue reading...
So many facets of the state are chronically inept and unreliable, it figures that the one body doing its job properly is getting it in the neck.
Research by National Preparedness Commission calls for โworst-case scenarioโ planning by European states Britainโs vital supply chains are unprepared for the prospect of a major shock such as war with Russia, and bold steps are needed to catch up with โworst-case scenarioโ planning by European states, ministers have been warned. Donald Trumpโs โAmerica Firstโ transformation of the US, which has made what was once a trusted UK ally a much less reliable partner, should also feed into that planning, according to a new report.
