How to live to 100 | podcast

We know more about extending our lifespans than ever before. After
decades spent drinking, eating and laughing at people with exercise regimes, what will it take for Phil Daoust to join the ranks of centenarians?

When he got to 60, Phil Daoust, the deputy editor of the Guardian’s G2 section, made a decision. He was happy, healthy and wanted to remain that way for as long as possible. As a young man he had been unconcerned with diet and exercise regimes, preferring long boozy lunches, pies and walking to the pub. Later, after a bout of depression, he began to get healthier, but he wanted more.

He realised he no longer feared old age and decided to try to live to be 100. He took inspiration from people nearing that age, such as John Starbuck, a 93-year-old who regularly spends his days at the gym and is a keen water polo player. With a strong community around him, he illustrates the importance of social connections in living longer.

3 juin 2024 à 02:00

Inflexible laws allow perpetrators to dispute ownership of belongings, leaving their partners to start from scratch

Tessa scarcely had time to collect her belongings before escaping the home she had shared with her husband of 20 years.

Later, as she took out an apprehended domestic violence order against him, the court asked her to make a list of items she wanted to collect.

  • Minjee Lee, Wichanee Meechai and Andrea Lee fall away

Minjee Lee, Wichanee Meechai and Andrea Lee shared the lead heading into the final round and Saso’s chances of catching them took a massive blow when she followed a birdie on the second by four-putting the sixth for a double bogey.

‘We want to forge ahead’: grief and defiance as Dom Phillips’ widow journeys to site of his death

The Guardian journalist and his Brazilian colleague, Bruno Pereira, were shot dead in the Amazon in 2022

Alessandra Sampaio fell to her knees and wept as she clambered on to the boat’s deck and came face to face with the remote riverside clearing where her husband’s life was extinguished and hers turned upside down.

The sound of Sampaio’s lament mixed with birdsong and the voice of an Indigenous shaman echoed through the jungle where the British journalist, Dom Phillips, and his Brazilian comrade Bruno Pereira were shot dead in June 2022.

Voting was suspended at one polling site as the country is expected to vote in leftist Claudia Sheinbaum over Xochitl Galvez

Two people were killed in violence at polling centers on Sunday in the midst of Mexico’s historic election expected to make leftist Claudia Sheinbaum, the ruling party candidate, the country’s first female president.

Voting was suspended at one polling place after a person was killed in a shooting in Coyomeapan, a town in the state of Puebla, the state electoral authority reported in the afternoon. The state attorney general confirmed another death at a polling center in Tlapanala, also in Puebla.

Rob Burrow was a rugby league giant and a most extraordinary man | Donald McRae

Par : Donald McRae
2 juin 2024 à 22:44

A flickering fire burned inside the inspirational former Leeds scrum-half despite the gravity of his MND diagnosis

I first interviewed Rob Burrow in April 2021. Rob, by then, could no longer talk and, in his wheelchair, he could barely move. Motor neurone disease had made him a prisoner in his own body. I was anxious before we began because it seemed an impossible task. Rob, however, had spent much of his life proving that he could overcome preconceptions.

He was the rugby league giant who, despite being 5ft 5in tall and weighing a shade over 10 stone, had played almost 500 games for Leeds Rhinos, and won eight Super League championships and 18 international caps.

Gareth Southgate coy over Jack Grealish’s Euro 2024 place for England

2 juin 2024 à 23:30
  • Manager still to decide midfield options before Serbia opener
  • Southgate said Luke Shaw has ‘good chance’ of being fit for finals

Gareth Southgate has refused to give Jack Grealish assurances over his Euro 2024 place and has cast doubt over Harry Maguire being fit for ­England’s opening game.

Southgate, who was more optimis­tic about Luke Shaw’s chances of recovering from injury for the tournament, is putting together his final preparations this week. England’s head coach is due to cut seven players from his 33-man training squad after assessing his side when they meet Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly at St James’ Park on Monday night and Iceland at Wembley on Friday.

French Open’s ‘prime-time’ slot is the graveyard shift no player wants | Tumaini Carayol

Novak Djokovic’s 3.07am finish on Sunday morning showed yet again tennis needs to do more to look after players and fans

As another messy, rainy day at Roland Garros began to unfold on Saturday afternoon, it gradually became clear that things were taking a left turn. With certain third-round matches to be finished, the French Open organisers opted to move the uncompleted contest between Zizou Bergs and Grigor Dimitrov to Court Philippe-Chatrier before Novak Djokovic’s night session match, which was scheduled to begin at 8.15pm. Unless every match finished in straight sets, it was obvious that chaos would follow.

It is fair to say that those matches did not finish efficiently. The match on court, Alexander Zverev v Tallon Griekspoor, immediately descended into a dramatic five-set battle. Then Bergs forced a fourth set. Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti entered the court at about 10.30pm, with Djokovic closing off his excellent five-set comeback victory at 3.07am, the latest finish in the history of the French Open.

Iga Swiatek’s 6-0, 6-0 demolition job leads march of French Open top seeds

  • World No 1 wins shortest match of career; Coco Gauff advances
  • Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas set up quarter-final

After an opening week defined by Iga Swiatek’s grit, as she saved match point and recovered from the brink of defeat against a resurgent Naomi Osaka in her second-round match, the Pole’s bakery reopened with ruthless efficiency on Sunday as the best player in the world demolished ­Anastasia Potapova 6-0, 6-0 to return to the French Open quarter-finals.

Even in matches with such emphatic scorelines, the final result is not always reflective of how competitive some can be. Sometimes the games are tight and competitive but the ­superior player just wins all of the points that matter.

Themes from this season’s Champions League: Germany’s rise to Man City’s stumble

Real Madrid lifted the trophy and may dominate for some time to come, while PSG are about to enter an uncertain era

Francisco Gento’s record of six European Cup wins was one of those records that looked unassailable, belonging to the era of football scrapbooks. And yet Dani Carvajal, scorer of Real Madrid’s first goal in the final, and Luka Modrić matched the legendary winger’s total with Madrid’s 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Toni Kroos, in his final club game, having won five with Real to add to his Champions League title in 2013 with Bayern Munich, joined them.

2 juin 2024 à 20:11
  • Reekie continues fine season for Britain’s 800m runners

Jemma Reekie continued a sensational season of 800m running for Britain’s women as she led home four sub-two minute runners at the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm.

Reekie’s run of 1:57:79 means she now has the fourth- and ninth-best times of the year worldwide, in a top-10 list bookended by British runners, with Keely Hodgkinson’s 1:55:78 leading the way in 2024 and 17-year-old Phoebe Gill’s breakthrough run of 1:57:86 in 10th.

Yuka Saso wins 2024 US Women’s Open – as it happened

Par : Scott Murray
3 juin 2024 à 00:57
  • Yuka Saso wins second US Open title at Lancaster Country Club
  • Hinako Shibuno completes Japanese one-two
  • Official leaderboard

An unforced error by the leader Minjee Lee on 3. From the first cut to the left of the fairway, just 50 yards out, she carves her wedge into sand to the right of the green. Then a blast out races hysterically across the dancefloor and nearly ends up in a bunker on the other side. The ball stops in the fringe but she’ll have a testing up-and-down to limit the damage to bogey.

Hinako Shibuno is the latest member of the leading pack to start moving backwards. A careless lip-out from a couple of feet on 3 costs the 25-year-old from Japan a shot. But there’s another player looking to make a late run and get themselves involved; Arpichaya Yubol, a 22-year-old from Thailand making her US Open debut this week, has opened her final round briskly with birdies at 1 and 4, and is homing in on the peloton at level par.

Two-thirds of Ingria near Turin are competing for positions including a mother and son in rival camps

The last time Igor De Santis ran for mayor in Ingria, a tiny village surrounded by forests and mountains near Turin, he won an easy landslide victory. But he faces a tough challenge in his bid for a fourth mandate, after his mother joined a rival camp.

Ingria, one of the smallest villages in Italy, is home to 46 inhabitants. A further 26 people, registered to vote from abroad, make up the electorate.

It may be now or never to play with Andy at Wimbledon, says Jamie Murray

  • Jamie waiting for brother to decide if they will play in doubles
  • Next month’s Wimbledon likely to be Andy’s last

Jamie Murray believes it may be a case of “now or never” for him and his brother, Andy, to fulfil their goal of competing together in the men’s doubles at Wimbledon in what could be Andy’s final appearance there.

“It would obviously be really cool to do it,” Jamie said. “It’s something that we probably wanted to do at some point in our career and maybe now is the only opportunity to do it. So maybe it’s a case of now or never, but yeah, we’ll see. [We] need to figure out what’s going to happen first and then go from there.”

The Guardian view on taxing billionaires: we need to talk about the super-rich | Editorial

Par : Editorial
2 juin 2024 à 19:30

G20 countries will discuss proposals to make the world’s wealthiest individuals pay more towards funding public goods. The debate is overdue

In his book The Society of Equals, the leading French sociologist Pierre Rosanvallon identifies the rise of the global super-rich as inimical to a shared social order. “The secession of the wealthy,” writes Prof Rosanvallon, means that “the richest sliver of the population now lives in a world unto itself”.

Tax avoidance is perhaps the most obvious and resented way in which this “separatism” of the rich manifests itself. Whether through silting their money away in tax havens, or exploiting loopholes and using creative accounting, the world’s billionaires these days pay a far smaller proportion of their income to fund public goods than the rest of us. In the 1960s, the 400 richest Americans paid more than half their income in taxes. By 2018, it was less than a quarter.
