      ‘The UK should know what their government is supporting’: the Israeli and Palestinian film-makers shining a light on West Bank violence

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    No Other Land has won its directors awards – but also forced them to leave their families facing the dangers depicted

    The Palestinian and Israeli makers of an award-winning film about land confiscation and oppression on the West Bank were just embarking on an extensive US tour this month when the escalating violence of their homeland reached out and dragged them back.

    In Masafer Yatta, the cluster of embattled Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron hills, which is the focus of the documentary No Other Land , settler violence against the local villagers escalated sharply, while the bombing of Gaza stepped up, killing about 80 Palestinians.

      ‘We have zero tolerance for nastiness’: Harry Styles lookalikes lift the London gloom

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    Colourful contest celebrates pop icon and brings cheer after events for Timothée Chalamet and Paul Mescal go viral

    It looked a lot like the other lookalike contests that have captured the imagination in the last few days, but the London event was not quite the same as New York and Dublin.

    For a start, Harry Styles did not gatecrash his own lookalike contest in Soho Square in the West End, as Timothée Chalamet had two weeks earlier in New York.

      Last-gasp Max Jorgensen try sees Australia edge England in thriller

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    • England 37-42 Australia
    • Teams score five tries apiece in seesaw contest

    On a grey old day in south-west London few anticipated great splashes of gold and green being daubed on a distinctly monochrome canvas. Australia will forever remember this gloriously seesawing game of rugby, finally settled by an injury time try from the young replacement wing Max Jorgensen after England thought they had spectacularly overhauled a 10 point second half deficit.

    It was a mad finish to an extraordinary game which seemed to have been clinched by a 79th minute converted try by Maro Itoje. While England were also indebted to two tries apiece for Chandler Cunningham-South and Ollie Sleightholme, this was Australia’s first win on the old cabbage patch since the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

      Supersub Harry Wilson strikes again as Fulham outclass 10-man Crystal Palace

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    After going three games unbeaten, this was a return to bleakness for Crystal Palace. Oliver Glasner’s men were outclassed by a livewire Fulham side, Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson providing the goals as Palace finished with 10 men, as Daichi Kamada was sent off.

    Fulham were sharper across the board, deserving the lead provided by Smith Rowe at the end of the first half. But a struggle for a second persisted, and nerves would have jangled in those closing stages, even after Kamada’s red in the 76th minute for a sliding tackle into Kenny Tete’s shin. But Wilson contributed once again as a substitute, having scored twice in injury time to beat Brentford at the start of the week. This time his role was to be a closer, not saviour for Marco Silva. Wilson’s arrival in the 82nd minute was followed by jubilation just 39 seconds later.

      Wolves seize first league win as Matheus Cunha magic sees off Southampton

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    Wolves’ survival hopes and Gary O’Neil’s job security are intrinsically linked to the form of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian created one and scored another against Southampton to secure a first league victory of the season and take the pressure off his manager for the time being at least.

    Cunha was the difference between two underwhelming sides, who can boast one win each after 11 matches. Southampton’s problem is scoring goals and they brought a rubber spoon to a knife fight to hand Wolves a first Premier League clean sheet of the season as they doubled their points tally thanks to Pablo Sarabia and Cunha.

    After Donald Trump’s victory, brute force will prevail over geopolitics as authoritarians are appeased from Russia to Israel to China

    Feelings are not the usual focus of a world dominated by macho strongmen, complex geopolitical challenges, wars and disasters. Yet every rule has exceptions. Following Donald Trump’s unexpectedly decisive US election victory , dark storm clouds seeded with powerful emotions overshadow the international landscape.

    Feelings of shock and anger that this lying conman again seduced enough voters to win the presidency roil America’s friends and allies. There is incredulity that so very many people collaborated in their own seduction. And there is puzzlement at exit polls that show 45% of female voters backed a serial sexual predator while Latino and black men helped a shameless racist to prevail.

      Homes alone: abandoned buildings of the Italian Apennines – in pictures

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    Landscape and architecture photographer Vincenzo Pagliuca was always fascinated by the empty, isolated houses scattered around the Campania region of southern Italy where he grew up. Since 2016 he has travelled along the Apennine mountain range that runs almost the length of the country, photographing uninhabited rural houses and abandoned holiday homes linked to ski tourism – now unused due to lack of snow. These images, collected in the book Mónos , were shot during the winter months to capture the particular quality of the light. “A house immersed in a winter landscape, even more so in its isolated state, evokes an ancestral sense of shelter and protection,” says Pagliuca. “It becomes an archetypal image of intimacy, inviting us to reflect on the psychological significance of home for human beings.”

      Heart attacks, diabetes, divorce: tackling the dangers faced by UK’s army of night workers

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 9 November, 2024

    Night Club, which has helped more than 10,000 workers recover their physical and psychological wellbeing, now has four demands for Labour

    Peers and MPs will shortly receive a survey that asks: “How do you sleep at night?” It’s not a cheeky attempt to breach ­privacy – its aim is to encourage parliamentarians to clock their time asleep to raise awareness of the dangers experienced by the growing army of night workers: the ­“forgotten shift”.

    In a 24-hour society, night work has expanded hugely, accelerated by the cost of living crisis and childcare fees. The night shift pays a premium – but it can also punish people in ways not experienced on day shifts . Night workers are 37% more likely than day workers to have a heart attack , 44% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes and 32% more likely to have a miscarriage, while obesity and memory loss are also factors.
