Paths You Take is a show that finds beauty in images of alienation as Billy Dosanjh turns his lens on race, identity, empire – and the men who kept the furnaces glowing It was bitter in Walsall that winter of 1962-3 when snow turned the Black Country white. In After the Storm, Billy Dosanjh’s epic photographic reconstruction of one especially chilly night back then, an elderly Sikh man, recently arrived from the Punjab, stands under an old carriage lamp. He is, the shot suggests, seeing snow for the first time. “I thought it was quite a fitting note to get him gazing at the snow, looking a little bewildered,” says Dosanjh as we stroll around Paths You Walk, his gripping exhibition of photographs, films and installations at the New Art Gallery Walsall. At the back of the image, three furnace smoke stacks rise up in ghostly fashion, almost like the three crosses on Calvary have been relocated to Mordor. Continue reading...

The maritime incident occurred a week after a Russian aerial drone that was part of an attack on Ukraine went astray and struck an apartment building in Romania's eastern Danube port city of Galati, injuring two people in the NATO member country.
Residents of Gaza, south Lebanon, northern Israel and Kuwait were all under fire this week despite United States-arranged ceasefires supposedly in force in their regions. Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza and Lebanon, with Israeli forces still actively deployed in both places. Hezbollah rockets struck northern Israel, and Iranian attacks hit Kuwait’s international airport. The continued violence prompted US President Donald Trump to comment on Wednesday that ceasefires in the Middle East involved “shooting in a more moderate manner” rather than a total halt in fighting. Three truces his administration has negotiated were meant to have stopped the warfare. But while major fighting has greatly reduced, munitions are still falling and people still dying. This is how the ceasefires — and ongoing fighting — are playing out: What’s happening with the ceasefire in Gaza? The US brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on October 10, 2025, ending major warfare. The ceasefire deal involved a halt to all fighting, Hamas releasing all its remaining hostages in Gaza, Israel freeing Palestinian prisoners, a phased Israeli withdrawal, ramped-up aid and the opening of a crossing into Egypt. A Trump plan to build out the ceasefire was meant to involve agreements on disarming Hamas, a new Gaza government without the group’s involvement, reconstruction of Gaza and a complete Israeli withdrawal. Palestinians clear debris at the site of an Israeli strike on a house whose residents were warned to evacuate before the attack, in Zawaida, central Gaza Strip on June 5, 2026. — AFP However, while all hostages were released, the amount of aid reaching Gaza has not substantially increased. Hamas has not agreed to disarm. Reconstruction has not begun, and Israel has expanded its control of the territory. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have continued, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce, including nine on Thursday. Sporadic Palestinian attacks have killed four Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Why is there still warfare in Lebanon? After fighting in 2024, a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah was only partially implemented, with both sides accusing the other of violations. Open warfare began again in March after war against Iran erupted, with Hezbollah firing into Israel and Israeli forces seizing swathes of southern Lebanon and pounding other areas with airstrikes. Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon on April 16 after rare contacts between representatives of the Israeli and Lebanese governments. Intense fighting continued in the south, but Israel mainly refrained from striking Beirut. Black smoke billows at a strike scene following an Israeli strike on a car as seen from Nabatieh, Lebanon on June 5, 2026. — Reuters Since April 16, Israeli strikes have killed hundreds of people, bringing the total toll to more than 3,500 since March 2, according to Lebanese authorities, whose data does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel says 26 of its soldiers and four civilians have been killed in Hezbollah attacks since March. Iran wants a ceasefire in Lebanon to be part of any deal to end its war with the United States and Israel and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. On Wednesday, Trump announced that Lebanon and Israel had agreed to implement a new ceasefire contingent on Hezbollah leaving southern areas. Israel says it can still carry out military operations despite the ceasefire and Hezbollah has rejected the truce. Fighting continues. Will the US and Iran cement their ceasefire? The US and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, seeking to destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Both countries voiced hope the ruling theocratic system would be overthrown. That followed a 12-day war last year in which Israel, later joined by the United States, struck many of Iran’s nuclear facilities and military leaders. Despite many of Iran’s senior figures being killed, it has managed to close off the Strait of Hormuz, throttling Gulf energy exports and hitting the global economy. The US announced a ceasefire with Iran in early April, with talks to follow on a lasting end to hostilities, the reopening of Hormuz, the end of a US blockade on Iranian ports and a pathway to negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme. Iranians stand next to a symbol of a Kheibar missile as they take part during a rally in support of the country’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei and commemorate Eid al-Ghadir in Tehran on June 4, 2026. — AFP However, despite repeated rounds of indirect talks mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, there has been no fuller agreement yet. A deal would likely put off negotiation on the nuclear issue to a later stage. Meanwhile, the sides have repeatedly exchanged fire, with Iran also attacking Gulf states including Kuwait this week. Why haven’t the ceasefires been effective? All three deals have come unstuck in their first phase, with interim arrangements failing to move towards more lasting ceasefires. In each case, the combatants have been unwilling to accept painful concessions required to move beyond the first phase of transitional ceasefires. At times, they have turned to military action to try to advance goals they had to set aside when the truces were agreed or to test the boundaries of the agreements. “When there’s no movement and there’s no political horizon, it’s very difficult for a ceasefire to hold, because there’s no real incentive for the parties to that ceasefire to continue abiding by it if it doesn’t actually lead to any changes,” said Urban Coningham, research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London. The diminishing influence of international bodies like the United Nations and the growing assertiveness of regional powers have also made it harder for long-term agreements to stick, he said.

Imagem do filme 'Canecão – Tantas emoções', dirigido e roteirizado por Bruno Levinson Reprodução / Vídeo ♫ CRÍTICA DE DOCUMENTÁRIO MUSICAL Título: Canecão – Tantas emoções Direção e roteiro: Bruno Levinson Cotação: ★ ★ ★ 1/2 ♬ Parte expressiva da história da música brasileira foi escrita no Canecão de 9 maio de 1969 – dia em que uma incendiária Maysa (1936 – 1977) inaugurou como casa de shows bem produzidos a então cervejaria aberta em 1967 na zona sul da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) – a 17 outubro de 2010, dia em que Bibi Ferreira (1922 – 2019) fez o último espetáculo da casa, então já envolta em aura mítica. Atração da Mostra Brasil da 18ª edição do In-Edit Brasil – Festival Internacional do Documentário Musical, programada para acontecer em São Paulo (SP) de 17 a 28 de junho, o filme “Canecão – Tantas emoções” reúne histórias dessa casa prevista para ser reaberta em 2027 como espaço cultural. Talvez pelas preferências musicais de Bruno Levinson, diretor e roteirista do documentário viabilizado pela produtora Raccord, o filme enfatiza a tomada do Canecão pela geração pop dos anos 1980 a partir da estreia em 198d o show “Radioatividade”, da banda Blitz. A maioria dos cantores entrevistados – Bruno Gouveia, Evandro Mesquita, Fernanda Abreu, Leo Jaime, Lobão, Paulo Ricardo, Ritchie e Roberto Frejat, entre outros nomes – é dessa geração pop, opção fora de sintonia com o fato de o Canecão ter sido, sobretudo nos anos 1970, “o templo sagrado da MPB”, como resume Lobão. Mesmo focado em algumas das tantas emoções do título, o filme flui bem porque, gerações e preferências à parte, o importante é que todo mundo viveu emoções no Canecão. Não somente no palco, como na plateia, como ressalta Zélia Duncan, que lembra a noite em que foi avisada pela empresária Beth Araújo de que o Canecão havia acabado de pôr o letreiro que promovia o primeiro show da cantora na casa. Claro que Zélia cumpriu o ritual dos artistas debutantes na casa e foi para a porta do Canecão tirar foto à frente do ansiado letreiro. Roberto Carlos lembra no filme, em depoimento emocionado, a importância que o Canecão teve na carreira do cantor a partir de 1970 Reprodução / Vídeo “O Canecão não era só um casa de shows. Era o lugar onde todo mundo queria estar”, sentencia a empresária Marilena Gondim, um dos poucos entrevistados que quebra a corrente romântica de depoimentos sobre a casa. “Não era fácil trabalhar no Canecão. Era tudo muito informal. Apesar de pior, o Canecão era melhor”, contemporiza Gondim. Representante da realeza da música brasileira que dominou o Canecão nos anos 1970, Roberto Carlos – cujo primeiro grande show, “Roberto Carlos a 200 km por hora!”, estreou na casa em 3 de setembro de 1970 – dá depoimento que valoriza o documentário. “O Canecão foi um marco importantíssimo na minha vida porque mostrou para o público e para a crítica que eu sabia fazer mais do que fazia na Jovem Guarda”, contextualiza Roberto, ressaltando a importância de Luís Carlos Miele (1938 – 2015) e Ronaldo Bôscoli (1928 – 1994) como produtores do espetáculo em que o artista deixou de ser visto como “cantor de iê-iê-iê”, expressão usada pelo próprio Roberto Carlos no filme. Além de artistas, Bruno Levinson entrevista funcionários da casa, como garçonetes, o assessor de imprensa Luiz Menna Barreto e o produtor artístico Jerson Alvim, falecido em 2025 aos 83 anos. Alvim teve atuação decisiva na história do Canecão como mediador entre os interesses da casa e as reivindicações dos artistas e empresários. É ótimo o causo contado por ele sobre o breve impasse entre Chico Buarque e Tom Jobim (1927 – 1994) em torno de datas de shows. O toque de emoção do roteiro fica por conta do reencontro de Elymar Santos com a jornalista Léa Penteado, assessora de imprensa cujo trabalho foi fundamental para tornar bem-sucedido – tanto artisticamente quanto economicamente – o sonho do então desconhecido cantor de se apresentar no Canecão. Enquanto pega Elymar na casa do artista na Ilha do Governador e o conduz de carro até o Canecão, o diretor Bruno Levinson ouve o cantor recontar a saga de ter empenhado apartamento e carro para alugar o Canecão por uma noite, em 12 de novembro de 1985, em ação ousada que deu certo e rendeu ao cantor o convite, feito durante a ousada apresentação, para fazer outros shows na casa, agora sem precisar alugar o espaço. Enfim, entre histórias e lendas, o documentário de Levinson lembra que o Canecão abriu as portas para os bailes da pesada que reuniram jovens multidões nos anos 1970, no apogeu do movimento Black Rio. Há também takes dedicados ao afamado show feito no Canecão em 1987 pela banda britânica Echo & The Bunnymen. Em contrapartida, o roteiro omite a chegada do sertanejo à casa em 1991, com apresentação da dupla Chitãozinho & Xororó, e ignora shows emblemáticos feitos pelas cantoras Elis Regina (1945 – 1982), Gal Costa (1945 – 2022) e Maria Bethânia no Canecão, com a ressalva de que há menções de depoentes às antológicas temporadas dos shows “Brasileiro, profissão: esperança” (1974) – espetáculo que juntou a cantora Clara Nunes (1942 – 1983) e o ator Paulo Gracindo (1911 – 1995) em torno da obra de Antonio Maria (1921 – 1964) e Dolores Duran (1930 – 1959) – e “Chico Buarque & Maria Bethânia” (1975). Enfim, as emoções foram tantas que não caberiam nos 87 minutos do documentário. Dentro do recorte mais pop oferecido pelo diretor e roteirista Bruno Levinson, o filme “Canecão – Tantas emoções” cumpre a função de ressaltar a magia que envolvia uma casa que, como sentenciou Ronaldo Bôscoli, escreveu parte da história da música brasileira.

The Mobo founder, who has died aged 57, had an unprecedented vision: to give Black British music a glitzy and joyful awards ceremony. But her impact went well beyond it • News: Kanya King, founder of Mobo awards for Black British music, dies aged 57 I first met Kanya King in the mid-1990s, when I was still reeling from the failure of my own attempt to target the Black audience via my newspaper, Black Briton. Kanya came along a couple of years later and showed how it should be done. In framing her awards as “music of Black origin”, she not only connected with the relatively small Black British population, but brought in a whole new audience, too, who acknowledged its oversized influence. Back then, the word diversity was hardly known. We were in the era of “equal opportunities”, which was taken seriously only by Labour-run local councils, and labelled “loony left” by most of the media. Britain had been dominated by more than 15 years of Thatcher-inspired government. Stephen Lawrence had been murdered, but the inquiry that identified “institutional racism” was still years away.
