The Hives review – veteran punk’n’rollers fizz with megawatt energy

25 novembre 2025 à 12:39

Depot, Cardiff
Twenty-five years on from their first UK tour, the Swedish band are at their cartoonish, snarling best, eager to prove themselves rather than wallow in nostalgia

‘I’m powering clothes, that’s how electric I am,” Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist quips, the trim on his LED-encrusted suit glowing as he climbs into the crowd. It’s funny, but on this evidence, it’s not really a joke. As an exhilarating Tick Tick Boom crashes back into the room, it’s easy to believe that the Hives could prop up the National Grid.

Twenty-five years on from their first UK tour, the Swedish punk’n’rollers are full of piss and vinegar, reinvigorated after breaking a decade-plus recording hiatus with two well-received albums in three years, all while playing some of the biggest shows of their career, from stadium support slots with Arctic Monkeys to an upcoming night at London’s Alexandra Palace.

US army secretary Daniel Driscoll expected to hold meeting today having reportedly already met with Russia on Monday night

Nordic correspondent

Meanwhile, Sweden has today announced it is investing an additional 3.5bn SEK (£280m) in air defences amid the increased threat from drones and other forms of aerial attack.

Sweden’s defence needs to be strengthened against threats such as robots, drones and helicopters. The best way to guarantee peace and freedom is to invest in defence. The orders also contribute to growth, jobs and security of supply. It also improves the possibilities of increasing production capacity in the defence industry.”

How Lord Dannatt used his peerage to open doors for business interests

25 novembre 2025 à 12:10

Former head of British army is suspended from the House of Lords after being filmed breaking rules

The flowers and hamper that arrived at the Tower of London had been sent by a small energy company based in Sierra Leone. They were a gift to Richard Dannatt, the former head of the British army, who a few months earlier had introduced the company’s executives to the minister for Africa. It was a move they hoped would smooth the way for the fledgling company’s grand plans to build a £500m hydroelectric dam.

With support from the UK government, the company had a better chance of getting the dam built. The dam, they said, would bring much-needed cheap electricity to many people in Sierra Leone. But it could also bring profits to the company, and Dannatt was not only to receive flowers and upmarket produce, he was also given shares.

Idrissa Gueye applauded by Everton teammates after apologising for Michael Keane slap

25 novembre 2025 à 12:03
  • Gueye addressed players following 1-0 win at Old Trafford

  • De Ligt accuses United of lacking urgency in Monday loss

Idrissa Gueye received a round of applause from the Everton squad after apologising for his extraordinary red card in Monday’s victory at Manchester United.

The midfielder became the first Premier League player to be dismissed for striking a team-mate in 17 years when slapping Michael Keane at Old Trafford. Everton’s performed heroically with 10 men for 85 minutes, stoppage time included, to hand David Moyes his first win at Old Trafford as a visiting manager in 18 attempts and deliver only the club’s second victory at United in 33 years.

Antibiotic resistance: how a pioneering trial is using old drugs to save babies from sepsis

The infection is responsible for 800,000 newborn deaths each year, but clinics in eight countries are working together to find new treatments

Just a few minutes from the turquoise waters of Kenya’s Kilifi Creek, a world away from the tourists enjoying their time on the estuary, a team of clinicians, technicians and microbiologists is helping to shape a new era of care for newborns.

NeoSep1 is a pioneering clinical trial that aims to identify effective and safe antibiotic combinations to treat sepsis in newborns. One of the centres leading the second phase of this study is the Kemri-Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) in Kilifi.

Is the Democratic party embracing Bernie Sanders-style politics? | Dustin Guastella

25 novembre 2025 à 12:00

Maybe. Let’s hope it is not too late for Democrats to win back the working class and Washington

Since the Democratssweeping victories on 4 November, a strange thing has happened among the party factions: a semblance of unity has emerged.

At first, “affordability” became the slogan of rapprochement. Moderates, populists and socialists agreed Democrats must campaign around the cost-of-living crisis and hang the broken economy around Donald Trump’s neck.

US, Russia and Saudi Arabia create axis of obstruction as Cop30 sputters out

25 novembre 2025 à 12:00

Trump puts US in unflattering company as lack of representative reveals disdain for climate progress

More than two decades ago, the US railed against the “axis of evil”. Now, after international climate talks spluttered to a meagre conclusion, the US finds itself grouped with unflattering company – an “axis of obstruction” that has stymied progress on the climate crisis.

Donald Trump’s administration opted to not send anyone to the UN climate summit in Brazil that culminated over the weekend – a first for the US in 30 years of these annual gatherings and another representation of the president’s disdain for the climate crisis, which he has called a “hoax” and a “con job.”

Rhino review – Tom Hardy channels David Attenborough in mission to save Kenya’s rhinos

25 novembre 2025 à 12:00

The actor is a slightly distracting narrator in this documentary about a local ranger’s efforts to protect a group of rhinos from poachers – and from killing each other

Here is a rare wildlife success story. The world’s black rhino population has plummeted to just over 6,000 as rhinos are pushed to the brink of extinction by habitat loss and poaching. But conservation efforts have resulted in a rhino comeback in Kenya, where numbers are growing in fenced-off sanctuaries known as conservancies that employ local people and keep poachers out.

Tom Hardy provides a slightly distracting narration to this documentary, channelling David Attenborough with a dash of 19th-century aristo-explorer. The film opens with the fact that in the past three years, 1,900 rhinos have been poached across Africa, but not a single one in Kenya. In the Borana Conservancy we meet charismatic head ranger Ramson Kiloku, a man who knows every single rhino on his patch by its footprint and the nicks on its ears.
