The brief, late-night message from the Yankees regarding star Aaron Judge’s condition wasn’t the worst possible news. But it very close to the worst.
WORLD Environment Day arrives as the planet edges deeper into climatic uncertainty. New global temperature records are being set with unsettling frequency, and the World Meteorological Organisation has warned that the years from 2026 to 2030 are likely to rank among the hottest ever observed. There is a strong possibility that another record-breaking year will emerge before the decade is out, while average global temperatures are expected to remain close to or above the 1.5°C threshold that governments once hoped would help avert the worst impacts of climate change. The warning may be global, but its implications are intensely local. In May, temperatures in parts of Sindh and Balochistan climbed towards 50°C, triggering heatwave alerts and heightening concerns about pressure on already strained power, water and health systems. At the same time, scientists continue to raise the alarm about the glaciers and snow reserves that feed the Indus basin. For a country whose agriculture, food security and energy production depend heavily on the Indus basin, changes in the region’s ice reserves carry consequences that extend far beyond the mountains. Pakistan knows all too well the consequences of environmental neglect. The catastrophic floods of 2022 inundated vast areas, displaced millions and inflicted losses running into billions of dollars. Yet, despite repeated reminders of the country’s vulnerability, environmental protection continues to occupy a peripheral place in policymaking. Climate adaptation efforts move slowly, urban expansion often proceeds with little regard for sustainability, forests remain under pressure and air pollution continues to burden public health. Shrinking green spaces leave cities increasingly exposed to extreme heat, while weak enforcement of environmental regulations allows ecological degradation to continue largely unchecked. Pakistan is right to remind the world that it contributes only a tiny fraction of global greenhouse gas emissions and deserves greater international support. But that argument carries weight only if it is matched by seriousness at home. Fragmented planning, weak implementation and chronic underinvestment have left the country less prepared than it should be. World Environment Day is often marked by pledges, ceremonies and symbolic gestures. This year, it should prompt something more. As the federal budget approaches, the government has an opportunity to demonstrate that climate resilience is finally being treated as a national priority. Adequate resources must be allocated for adaptation measures, disaster preparedness, water conservation, ecosystem restoration and more livable, heat-resilient cities. Just as importantly, climate considerations must be embedded across development planning rather than confined to a handful of environmental programmes. Pakistan has received ample warning of what lies ahead. The upcoming budget should show that the state understands the scale of the challenge and is prepared to invest accordingly.

Hoofdonderzoeker en arts Rebecca Gomperts zag het "absoluut niet" aankomen. Haar onderzoek met mifepriston als hormoonvrij anticonceptiemiddel leek een veelbelovende oplossing voor veel vrouwen die kampen met klachten door hormonale anticonceptie. Toch werd het onderzoek deze week gestaakt: er waren meer zwangerschappen dan verwacht. Tijdens het onderzoek van Women & More, waaraan 14 Nederlandse ziekenhuizen en meer dan 560 vrouwen meededen, namen deelnemers wekelijks 50 milligram mifepriston als anticonceptie. Het middel zou de eisprong verstoren en ervoor zorgen dat het baarmoederslijmvlies verandert, waardoor een bevrucht eitje zich niet kan innestelen. Toch moeten de onderzoekers na een jaar concluderen dat het middel "niet veilig en effectief genoeg" is: een aantal deelnemers raakte alsnog zwanger, een deel buiten de baarmoeder. De bevruchte eicel nestelt zich dan meestal in de eileider en is niet levensvatbaar. Dat het onderzoek stopt vinden zowel de onderzoekers als deelnemers erg jammer, want wat wel naar voren komt, is hoe groot de behoefte is aan alternatieven voor huidige anticonceptiemiddelen. 'Oplossing voor mijn problemen' De 21-jarige Vienna, die alleen haar voornaam wil geven, worstelde zeven jaar lang met het vinden van de juiste vorm van anticonceptie. Hormonen van de pil veroorzaakten bij haar mentale klachten, gewichtstoename en hevige en langdurige menstruaties. Via via hoorde ze vorig jaar van een veelbelovend nieuw onderzoek met het middel mifepriston als hormoonvrije anticonceptie. De verwachting was dat dit haar problemen kon oplossen, doordat het middel hormoonvrij is, er weinig tot geen menstruatie plaatsvindt en het zou werken als anticonceptie. Tijdens het onderzoek ondergingen de deelnemers zwangerschapstesten, werd hun bloed gecontroleerd en werden er inwendige echo's uitgevoerd. "Voor mij werkte het enorm fijn", zegt Vienna. "Mijn menstruatie was enorm beperkt, pijnloos, mijn mentale welzijn verbeterde enorm en ik was zelfs weer wat afgevallen." Ze was verbaasd om dinsdag te horen dat het onderzoek werd stopgezet. De deelnemers hebben onder meer de instructies gekregen om direct met het middel te stoppen en over twee weken een zwangerschapstest te doen. Vienna begrijpt het besluit, maar hoopt op een nieuw onderzoek met een ander medicijn. Ze heeft bij haar ziekenhuis al aangegeven dat ze bij toekomstig onderzoek benaderd wil worden. Frustratie vrouwengezondheidszorg Ook Emma Messemaeckers (26) begrijpt de beslissing. Ze vindt het stoppen van het onderzoek wel "teleurstellend", omdat mifepriston op "zo veel vlakken zo goed werkt". Messemaeckers zag het onderzoek op LinkedIn voorbijkomen nadat ze haar derde spiraal had laten verwijderen. "Ik dacht: 'Misschien is dit iets waarmee ik iets kan bijdragen en kan kijken wie ik ben zonder hormonale anticonceptie.'" Vanaf het eerste moment merkte ze dat het mentaal en fysiek beter ging. Ze vindt het jammer dat het vinden van een langdurige oplossing zo ingewikkeld blijft. "Het voelt meer als een algehele frustratie over vrouwengezondheidszorg, dat het weer niet lukt", zegt ze. "Ik ben zo vaak van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd." Messemaeckers twijfelt over welk anticonceptiemiddel ze nog wil uitproberen. "Mijn vriend zei: misschien moet je gewoon toegeven dat wat nu op de markt is niet voor je lichaam is." Daarin is ze niet de enige: ze merkte dat collega's, vriendinnen en kennissen ook frustratie uitten over anticonceptie en interesse toonden in het alternatieve middel. Brede interesse Juist dat was de reden dat Gomperts tijdens haar promotieonderzoek in Zweden meer dan tien jaar geleden al op mifepriston stuitte. In een onderzoek in China werd het middel wekelijks gebruikt als een soort pil op aanvraag. "Daar is veel vraag naar", zegt ze. Ook andere onderzoeken uit het buitenland duidden erop dat mifepriston kon werken als anticonceptie. Hoewel 30 procent de eisprong behoudt, werd in die studies niemand zwanger. Het verschil met de Nederlandse studie: de tijdsduur en hoeveelheid proefpersonen. Doordat het onderzoek een jaar duurde en meer deelnemers had, kwamen nu problemen naar voren. De deelnemers waren over het risico geïnformeerd en ondergingen elke maand een zwangerschapstest. Daardoor kwamen de zwangerschappen vroeg aan het licht. Het middel moet uiteindelijk veilig zijn en werken voor miljoenen vrouwen, aldus Gomperts. Geen enkel anticonceptiemiddel kan zwangerschappen volledig uitsluiten, maar bij gebruik van dit middel raakten meer vrouwen zwanger dan verwacht. De onderzoeker benadrukt dat het middel nog steeds veilig is in abortus- en morning-afterpillen. Ook het onderzoek zelf ziet ze als waardevol. "We weten nu ook hoeveel vrouwen klachten hebben en dat vrouwen gebaat zijn bij dit middel om de problemen te bestrijden die te maken hebben met de menstruele cyclus."

The best bit was the work and talking to the other actors. I look back with great fondness on that. I remember saying to Alan Rickman that the collective noun for actors is an anecdote. Michael Gambon was the king of stories. He’d start a joke and you never knew where he was going. But he’d hone them; they were finely crafted – some of his best work was backstage. Richard Griffiths was also a great raconteur. His stories were brilliant, and completely unpublishable. Continue reading...

Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro is in the soprano’s DNA, but she’s never thought about directing it. Creating her own production has been daunting and fascinating – and her son’s building blocks even helped I am not one of those performers who has spent their life on a theatre stage or film set thinking, “I wish I could direct this”. However, earlier this year, I found myself with an unexpected six-week gap. A scheduled project had been delayed for technical reasons, and it was at this time that Wild Arts’ producer Max Parfitt asked how well I knew The Marriage of Figaro. I have lived with Mozart’s opera for as long as I can remember. Susanna’s “Deh, Vieni Non Tardar” was one of the first major arias I sang, aged 12 or 13, while studying in Los Angeles. Later, I wrote my final high school paper on Figaro, the adaptation from Beaumarchais’s play to Da Ponte’s libretto. I even translated the entire score word for word, which is probably why I still know it so deeply. My Metropolitan Opera debut at 19 was in Figaro, singing Barbarina. I performed my first Susanna on the same New York stage a few years later, and I’ve since sung the role many times all over the world. Continue reading...

Dry weather is disrupting crop planting across Asia, raising concerns about food supplies in the world’s most populous region, and an expected severe El Niño weather pattern could inflict more damage. From India’s grain-producing northwestern plains to Australia’s eastern wheat belt, and from Thailand’s rice fields to Indonesia’s vast palm oil plantations, hot weather and below-normal rains are hurting crops and forcing farmers to reduce planting, farmers, analysts and traders said. El Niño-driven dryness is a double blow for farmers already grappling with fertiliser and diesel shortages caused by the Iran war. Wheat prices have risen about 20 per cent since the start of 2026, largely on concerns over drought in key US growing regions. Rice prices at major Southeast Asian export hubs have climbed around 15pc over the past month on rising production costs and fears of tighter supplies. One of the strongest El Niños on record is widely expected to develop in the second half of 2026, bringing hot-dry weather to Asia and excessive rains to the Americas, with global climate change making things worse. “The El Niño impact globally starts with Southeast Asia, India, Australia, before it has wider implications downstream in North America and South America,” said Chris Hyde, a US-based meteorologist at satellite data and imagery firm SkyFi. Hyde said early signs of drought are already visible on the company’s high-resolution imagery platform, across parts of Asia. Hot-dry weather hits farms In India, the meteorological department last week further reduced its forecast for the four-month monsoon season, which delivers about 70pc of annual rains. “With temperatures across most parts of the country remaining well above normal, conditions are currently unfavourable for the timely sowing of summer crops,” said one New Delhi-based dealer with a global trade house. “Planting is likely to be delayed due to the late onset of the monsoon, but greater concern lies in the possibility of below-normal rainfall and prolonged dry spells after its arrival.” India mainly grows rice, soybeans, pulses, sugarcane and corn in the summer season. For Southeast Asian countries, dryness is hitting rice and palm oil yields in some areas. “Everybody is worried (about drought), it’s risky,” said Nerawat Oramah, a 47-year-old farmer in central Thailand’s Chainat province. “For my second harvest, I have to wait and see the situation. It’s a risk for every one (if there is not enough water), there will only be one harvest.” Thailand and the Philippines plant their main rice crops in June-July, while Vietnam and Indonesia are now sowing their second-season crops. Indonesia’s most populated Java island and some areas in northern Sumatra, south Kalimantan and Sulawesi have not experienced any rain for more than 10 days, according to the country’s meteorological agency, with medium to low rainfall expected in June. Higher prices Rice prices are edging up even though India, which accounts for 40pc of global exports, is sitting on ample supplies after years of near-record harvests. “There is clear indication of crisis as rice prices have moved substantially higher without any major shortage,” said one Singapore-based trader at an international trading company, adding Thai rice prices have climbed around 15pc in the past month. “India has a huge rice stockpile, several times more than what it needs. But the thinking is that very soon India will start looking at these stocks as a critical asset and may introduce some sort of export curbs if we see problems with early part of the monsoon.” However, KKP Research, a unit of Kiatnakin Phatra Bank in Thailand, said some of the impact of the dryness could be cushioned by strong reservoir levels. “What we are more concerned about is fertiliser supply,” the bank said in a note to Reuters. “We estimate that a fertiliser shortage, if it occurs, could reduce rice production by up to 15-20pc in the worst case.” Recent rains over parched Australian farmland have triggered late wheat sowing, but growers are wary of the El Niño in the coming months that could hit yields. The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting that many cropping areas across New South Wales and Queensland will see between 20 and 40 millimetres less rain than usual over the next three months. John Lowe, a farmer near Burcher in central New South Wales, said his total cropping area is still around 30pc smaller than it could have been. El Niño is likely to be neutral for China and the Black Sea region, while bringing more rains to the Americas. “Statistically speaking, there is not much correlation with weather in the US and El Niño, during the summer,” said Drew Lerner, an agricultural meteorologist and president of World Weather Inc. “In a lot of years, we can come up with a little bit more moisture in an El Niño summer. But that does not really mean above-normal rainfall.”
