‘I started seeing robots’: what happens when you run nearly nonstop for three days

17 mai 2025 à 02:00

When Craig Jeffrey heard about a 200-mile foot race through Western Australia he thought it sounded ‘brilliant’. But after a while, things got odd

During a 100 mile (160km) race around Mount Kosciuszko last year, I was caught in a lightning storm. I got talking to a fellow runner who was sheltering with me. She told me that there was an even longer race, out in Western Australia. “You must do it!” she said. “The food is incredible, and people share disgusting pictures of their toes afterwards.”

It sounded brilliant. The race is called Delirious West, a 200 mile run completed in a single push.

Government records show emergency killings of thousands of livestock after transport to Australian export abattoirs

17 mai 2025 à 02:00

Euthanasia is most common response to welfare incidents in sheep, pigs and cattle with about 4% of animals experiencing serious incidents, research finds

Thousands of sheep, pigs and cattle are being subjected to emergency killings after transport to Australian export abattoirs, an analysis of internal government records shows.

Curtin University researchers have also found it is taking almost 11 hours, on average, to inspect animals for injury and sickness after they arrive at abattoir facilities – delays that “significantly increase the likelihood of animals requiring emergency euthanasia”.

Everyone agreed Joel Cauchi was psychotic when he murdered six people at Bondi Junction. Until his psychiatrist didn’t

17 mai 2025 à 02:00

The third week of a coronial inquest into the death of Cauchi and the six people he killed gave the fullest picture of his illness yet

One point that has never been in dispute over the course of the coronial inquest into a mass stabbing in Sydney last year was that schizophrenic man Joel Cauchi was psychotic when he wielded a 30cm Ka-Bar knife, attacking 16 people and killing six.

The expert psychiatric evidence was “clear and unanimous” about Cauchi, 40, being “floridly psychotic” on 13 April 2024, the senior counsel assisting, Dr Peggy Dwyer SC, told the New South Wales coroner’s court in her opening remarks almost three weeks ago.

Where should Nigella Lawson eat while she’s in Sydney?

17 mai 2025 à 02:00

The British food icon visits Australia often, sharing her favourite meals along the way. Guardian Australia’s team has recommendations for where to dine next on her current trip

Nigella Lawson loves Australia. She often visits, and when she does she tends to post about her favourite places to eat on Instagram. “Walking through the doors after a year away just felt like coming home,” the British cook and food writer wrote about her return to the Potts Point restaurant Fratelli Paradiso in early May.

She’s since dined at another longtime favourite, Sean’s Panorama in Bondi, where she says the roast chook “epitomises the perfect Sydney Sunday”. We also know she’ll make a beeline for Small’s Deli in Potts Point for a meatball sandwich, a place she dreams of as soon as her plane ticket is booked.

Tyrrell Hatton faces fine for US PGA outburst as Vegas leads the pack

17 mai 2025 à 01:01
  • Foul-mouthed tirade after drive found water on the 18th
  • Matt Fitzpatrick in group behind leader Jhonattan Vegas

Tyrrell Hatton’s love-hate relationship with his professional domain continues. The Englishman will inevitably be fined after a foul-mouthed tirade during his second round of the US PGA Championship was picked up on live television coverage.

Hatton was within a shot of the lead when reaching the tee at the 18th, his 9th. Hatton’s drive found a water hazard. What happened next was rather typical for a player prone to tempestuous moments on golf courses. The 33-year-old bawled out “piece of shit” before adding a c-word insult, apparently towards his driver. Hatton’s mood hardly improved as he slumped to a triple-bogey seven.

Supreme court blocks Trump bid to resume deportations under 1798 law

17 mai 2025 à 00:47

Administration’s appeal to quickly deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act rejected with two dissenting

The supreme court has rejected the Trump administration’s request to remove a temporary block on deportations of Venezuelans under a rarely used 18th-century wartime law.

Over two dissenting votes, the justices acted on an emergency appeal from lawyers for Venezuelan men who have been accused of being gang members, a designation that the administration says makes them eligible for rapid removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

Whether the ultraconservatives dig in and force big changes to the megabill carrying President Trump’s agenda or capitulate, as they have in the past, will determine the fate of their party’s signature legislation.
