So much of the club’s change of image, as a team at least, is down to Kompany, a humble and emotionally intelligent coach who gives Bayern all the regal flow of their best teams down the years – but with added humility.

With concerns about childhood obesity and screen use sky-high, cuts to primary PE are an unforced errorWith remarkably poor timing, days before closing a consultation on children’s social media use, the government announced last week that it is cutting an annual £320m sports premium for primary schools in England. A new scheme worth £193m will cover secondaries too, and resurrect a previous model whereby outside clubs and coaches play a bigger role. But primary school leaders are understandably unhappy, particularly about the haste with which this is being done.Bodies including Sport England are more supportive, unsurprisingly since their role is set to grow. There will be advantages, particularly for older pupils who do not already participate in a busy round of extracurricular activities, in having the chance to make links with outside teams or clubs. But the reduction in dedicated funding for primary-school sports seems wrong-headed at a time when childhood obesity is viewed by experts as one of biggest public health challenges facing the country, and concerns about the mental and physical impacts of screen use are sky-high.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

The chancellor can point to growth and lower inflation, but weak job data, flat living standards and uncertain productivity are no reason to cheerIn October 1991, the then chancellor Norman Lamont said he thought he saw some “green shoots” of recovery. He was ridiculed, as Britain was in the midst of a deep recession that it would not clamber out of until the following summer. Insouciant in the face of the scorn heaped upon him, Mr Lamont defended himself robustly, even long after the event – not least by writing letters to this newspaper. Despite this valiant defence, “green shootism” became notorious because it suggested a ruling class that was congratulating itself well before ordinary people felt a recovery.This has not stopped politicians since 2010 from claiming that Britain was bouncing back from the series of shocks it has experienced. After austerity had produced economic stagnation, George Osborne, the Tory chancellor in 2013, seized on a few quarters of growth to claim Britain was “turning a corner”. Just months before the 2024 general election, Rishi Sunak, the Conservative prime minister, said that the country was starting to see the “green shoots” of recovery. Voters resoundingly rejected that claim when Labour was elected in a landslide.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Iran remains in peace talks despite first US strikes since ceasefire
by Patrick Wintour Diplomatic editor on May 26, 2026 at 5:06 pm
Tehran condemns ‘definitive violation’ but announces no specific reprisals as negotiations near decisive stageMiddle East crisis – live updatesA proposed peace agreement between Iran and the US seemed to still be on the table on Tuesday despite US bombings of Iranian targets – the first military action by Washington since the 8 April ceasefire.The Iranian foreign ministry denounced the US attack – aimed at missile launchers and efforts to lay fresh mines in the strait of Hormuz – as “an act of bad faith” and “a definitive violation of the ceasefire” and said it would not leave aggression unanswered. But it conspicuously did not pull out of the talks that were continuing under the joint mediation of Pakistan and Qatar. Continue reading…
A pension system that is unfair and unaffordable | Letters
by Guardian Staff on May 26, 2026 at 5:01 pm
Guardian readers respond to an article by Zoe Williams which argued that cutting the welfare bill should start with pensionsZoe Williams seeks to stimulate a debate about pensions and intergenerational inequality, but seems to have overlooked the issues surrounding the funding of public-sector defined-benefit (DB) pension schemes (All this talk about ‘difficult’ cuts, yet the largest part of Britain’s welfare bill is never mentioned. Why?, 21 May).Such schemes place enormous pressure on public finances; they typically require a more significant employer contribution – often more than 25% – compared with private-sector defined-contribution (DC) schemes, where employer contributions of around 3%-8% are typical.

Inequalities in health are the result of where you’re born, live, work and grow old | Letter
by Guardian Staff on May 26, 2026 at 5:00 pm
Our life expectancy is not simply our personal responsibility, writes Jennie PopayHaving spent several decades as a researcher in the health equity field, I was irritated to see that well-worn, misleading trope about personal responsibility for poor health being given the oxygen of publicity by the Guardian (At least 80% responsibility for ill health in old age down to individual, study says, 20 May).The Oxford Longevity Project’s study gave the impression that the main cause of poor health and its unequal distribution is an open question. That is not the case. The weight of evidence accumulated over decades is clear: the primary causes of inequalities in health, driving poorer health for poorer groups, are the material conditions in which people are born, live, work and grow old. It is growing inequalities in access to material resources, power and privilege, not irresponsible behaviours, which have created a 20-year gap in healthy life expectancy between the most and least advantaged groups in the UK.

Daunted by Proust or Joyce? Letters from Ian Arnott, Mike Bromberg and Andrew Keeley on giving up on a long readDave Patten says Proust’s In Search of Lost Time was unreadable (Letters 22 May). When I was a student of French in the 1970s I attempted to read it in French, but gave up after volume one.

À chacun son gout, I suppose.Ian ArnottPeterborough• I got no further than the first volume of In Search of Lost Time.

US attorney and a key figure in the investigations into the assassinations of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther KingG Robert Blakey, who has died aged 90, was one of America’s leading legal scholars, and his speciality was organised crime. He is best remembered for writing the part of the 1970 Organized Crime Control Act aimed at “racketeer influenced criminal organisations”. Its provisions became popularly known as the Rico statutes, recalling the Edward G Robinson character Rico, an Italian mobster in the 1931 gangster film Little Caesar.Blakey had previously drafted the wiretapping section of the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, and he became the primary resource for state and local governments when they moved to legislate in those areas. Blakey’s son John, an attorney and then district judge in Chicago, said his father’s determination came from a conversation outside the courtroom with a defendant he was once prosecuting, who told him: “You’re doing a great job, but don’t worry, you’re not going to win. The rules won’t let you.” Continue reading…

Why Trump administration’s plan to attempt to destroy Pfas is ‘nonsensical’
by Tom Perkins on May 26, 2026 at 12:00 pm
The EPA said it was cutting Biden-era regulations on Pfas in drinking water, but advocates say the move will harm public health and benefit industryA new Trump administration plan to ditch Pfas drinking water regulations and instead attempt to destroy “forever chemicals” on a wide scale tears a page from the fossil fuel industry’s carbon capture playbook, and will benefit the industry while harming public health.The US Environmental Protection Agency last week announced it is moving to kill strong Biden-era drinking water limits around four Pfas compounds, and delaying implementation for two more. It represented a blow to public health – advocates say strong limits and a dramatic cut in the production of the dangerous chemicals are imperative. Continue reading…
Huge rise in factory-style dairy farming of ‘battery cows’ in UK as costs rise
by Andrew Wasley on May 26, 2026 at 11:56 am
Investigation finds number of dairy farms where cows cannot go outside has more than doubled since 2015There has been a huge rise in factory-style dairy farming of “battery cows” in the UK as farmers struggle with increasing costs and face selling milk at a loss.The number of intensive dairy farms that permanently confine some of their cattle indoors has more than doubled in the past 10 years, an investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ) has found. Data suggests there are now at least 180 dairy farms where cows have no access to the outdoors, up from about 70 in 2015. Continue reading…

Heatwaves are becoming the norm. This is what Britain will look like in the year 2052 | Bill McGuire
by Bill McGuire on May 26, 2026 at 5:00 am
People sleep outside because their houses are too hot to inhabit, water is scarce and supermarkets are for the wealthyIf you think the temperature uncomfortable today, let me take you to the last day of July 2052, the rays of the climbing sun reveal a city still sweltering in the residual heat of the day before. From the air, London resembles a colossal refugee camp. Streets, gardens and parks are teeming with tents and cobbled-together shelters, within which the city’s residents have spent another uncomfortable night away from the heat traps that their houses and flats have become. After six days when the temperature peaked at about 40C, another scorcher is on the way.Half-hearted attempts to upgrade insulation across the country’s housing stock ran out of steam and cash decades earlier, and most homes still have few barriers to the infiltrating heat. Almost all the country’s electricity is now from renewables, which has brought the cost down, but the relentless onslaught of extreme weather has driven an ever-deepening economic depression across the world. Many now have air conditioning, but can’t afford to run it. Continue reading…

High unemployment and a lack of support mean life can be tough in Grimsby, but 19-year-old Cohen is determined to make the best of life in this coastal townIt’s mid-afternoon in the Lincolnshire seaside town of Cleethorpes and Cohen is sitting in the back seat of a car putting on an Easter bunny outfit. A group of teenagers nearby stare in amusement. Cohen isn’t fazed. He is hoping we can take some new photographs that he can use to advertise his mascot business for the upcoming holidays.Cohen, 19, lives with his parents a couple of miles down the road in neighbouring Grimsby and set up Co Co Mascots last year as one of his many attempts to find work. People can hire him in one of the outfits for birthday parties, events and doorstep surprises for children. He’s done a few paid gigs so far, which has been a boost for his confidence, he says, but what he really wants is a permanent job.Cohen, who is looking for a permanent job, makes money as a mascot at birthday parties and events Continue reading…

The world’s biggest miner has halted or delayed projects to cut vast amounts of emissions and has quietly war-gamed options to stall major climate investments in its Western Australian iron ore operations into the next two decades, according to documents leaked to the Guardian and ABC’s Four Corners. In a statement, BHP said its progress towards net zero emissions was dependent on technological shifts in trucks, trains and dozers, which were not yet ready to be deployed.Revealed: the internal BHP memo that slammed the brakes on world’s biggest miner’s climate pushRead more from the BHP files investigation here Continue reading…

This US island is home to flora found nowhere else. Now, a wildfire threatens extinction
by Roque Planas on May 23, 2026 at 1:00 pm
Firefighters are racing to douse flames on California’s Santa Rosa Island as experts express concern for unique habitatOn the south-eastern corner of Santa Rosa Island lies a grove of a few thousand Torrey pine trees, some of them more than 250 years old. The only other place on earth where these gnarled pines exist is in San Diego county, but biologists classify the two groves as different subspecies. So when a rare wildfire broke out on Santa Rosa Island late last week, firefighters raced to keep it from spreading into the grove, where it threatened to consign the island’s Torrey pines to extinction.So far, they appear to be succeeding – even as the 18,000-acre fire has torched nearly one-third of the island’s surface. But biologists who have studied Santa Rosa Island’s unique ecology are watching anxiously as the fire continues to burn a part of the island that is home to six plants found nowhere else on the planet.

The Guardian view on Britain’s coming energy shock: mini-measures won’t suffice | Editorial
by Editorial on May 22, 2026 at 4:59 pm
Consumer giveaways may soften the blow from the the war on Iran. But Britain’s vulnerability demands deeper state intervention and a faster transitionRachel Reeves’s announcement of a series of cost of living measures this week shows a government trying to prove it still has agency and relevance. The VAT cuts on summer attractions such as theme parks and soft-play centres, free bus rides for the under-16s in England and reduced import tariffs on food are politically useful, but they do not fundamentally alter the UK’s exposure to imported energy shocks. This is a mini-budget, with the emphasis on the mini. The inflationary impact of the Iran crisis, however, will be substantial. That is why the chancellor is moving into crisis-management mode with industrial resilience funds and thinly veiled threats to tax profiteers. But it is unlikely to be enough.The repercussions from the closure of the strait of Hormuz are reviving the need for more radical state fiscal intervention. Ms Reeves moved pre-emptively because the energy regulator is next week expected to announce that energy bills are likely to rise by £209 to £1,850 a year for a typical dual-fuel household from July. That is an increase of 13% on the current £1,641 annual bill. It will be a direct hit to household disposable incomes – and Labour’s central political claim that the cost of living crisis is easing on its watch. Worse may still be to come. If households absorb a summer rise in bills and then face costs rising again before winter, the government risks a return to the levels of financial anxiety felt after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
