Government says ethical certification is adding financial strain on smallholders rather than being paid by customers

The Kenyan government has told its tea factories to stop working with the Rainforest Alliance because it says the costs involved in securing the ethical label don’t add up for farmers.

‘They’re perfect – until they aren’t’: why are people so interested in the Beckxit beef?

7 juin 2025 à 14:49

Coverage of the three-year family ‘feud’ has been extraordinary, and nothing seems off the table in the media

If the biggest feud of the week belongs to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, then the longest running is arguably “Beckxit”.

The name given to the fallout between one of the most famous couples in the world – David and Victoria Beckham – and their less famous eldest son, Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Anne Peltz, was coined by the Daily Mail this year. But it covers a broader conflict that began in 2022, when Peltz wore Valentino instead of Victoria Beckham to her wedding, and brings us to this week’s lavish cover-shoot for German Glamour magazine in which the junior Beckhams discuss their “occasionally messy, very real love” and whether they might open a restaurant – without a word about her in-laws.

Psychologist and writer’s appearance on Aporia condemned for helping to normalise ‘dangerous, discredited ideas’

The Harvard psychologist and bestselling author Steven Pinker appeared on the podcast of Aporia, an outlet whose owners advocate for a revival of race science and have spoken of seeking “legitimation by association” by platforming more mainstream figures.

The appearance underlines past incidents in which Pinker has encountered criticism for his association with advocates of so-called “human biodiversity”, which other academics have called a “rebranding” of racial genetic essentialism and scientific racism.

‘A Spurs legend forever’: players hail Ange Postecoglou in wake of sacking

7 juin 2025 à 10:11
  • Son leads players’ tributes to the Australian manager

  • Supporters’ trust expresses ‘concern’ at another change

Son Heung-min has praised Ange Postecoglou as a “Tottenham Hotspur legend” as the club’s supporters’ trust expressed “concern” with another change in manager.

Postecoglou ended Spurs’ 17-year wait for silverware with Europa League success over Manchester United in Bilbao on 21 May, but it failed to earn the Australian a third season. A club statement on Friday announcing Postecoglou’s departure highlighted a woeful Premier League campaign where Tottenham finished 17th, their lowest top-flight finish since relegation in 1977.
