Samedi 26 avril, une explosion dévastatrice a éclaté dans le plus grand port commercial d’Iran. Le bilan s’alourdit à 28 morts et des milliers de blessés. L’incident a causé d’importants dégâts.
“If ever there was a time to break out the old ‘Lads, it’s Spurs’ line, this must be it,” writes Matt Dony. “Despite being an eternally pessimistic football fan, I have grudgingly accepted that Liverpool are going to win the league. And if they can’t get a point against this Spurs team, then something is very wrong. As someone who knows a thing or two about wine, what do recommend for tonight?”
I don’t think it matters, so long as it is cold, bubbly, and emptied over one’s own head before consumption.
Liverpool have won the Football League championship for the fifth time. Stoke City had to win on Sheffield United’s ground on Saturday to overhaul Liverpool, and instead lost 1-2. Pickering, a 38-year-old former English international and the club’s captain, came back to the Sheffield United side for his only First Division game of the season in place of Hagan, who is injured; he scored the first goal after three minutes, and after Stoke had equalised before half-time he paved the way for the deciding goal, shot by Rickett in the second half. Altogether Sheffield were without three leading players owing to injury.
It’s the portrait of Gina Rinehart that launched 1,000 memes, went viral globally and became Australia’s Mona Lisa. But it’s also a symbol of how wealth intersects with other areas of life, including art and sport.
How does Rinehart use her money to control her image – and what would she rather you don’t see? This episode of Gina is about power and control, and the colonial history of Australia.
It contains references to outdated offensive language and events that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find distressing. It also contains the names of Indigenous Australians who have died. Listen with care
It was 1985. No one had ever heard of Ivan Milat or the horrors of Belanglo state forest, so hitchhiking was still a thing. I lived in Adelaide and wanted to go to my brother-in-law’s 40th birthday party in Canberra. Young, foolhardy and totally broke, I decided to hitch the 1,300km there.
I packed a bag and set out around the corner from my house. I’d been on my feet for all of three minutes when a beautifully restored American hot rod pulled up in front of me. Behind the wheel was a friend I hadn’t seen since primary school. He invited me to get in, then gave me a lift all the way up to the outskirts of the city, where the major highway to Sydney begins. It was my first of many lucky breaks on this trip.
Investigation launched into cause of blast at Shahid Rajaee port as death toll rises to 28
Vladimir Putin was one of the first world leaders to offer help to Iran in the aftermath of a massive explosion at a container depot in a key port near the strait of Hormuz, dispatching several emergency planes to the area.
Fires still blazed nearly 24 hours after the explosion at the giant Shahid Rajaee port in southern Iran, the nation’s most strategically important port and chief artery for its world trade. The death toll had risen to at least 28 and the numbers injured had risen to more than 1,000.

Intriguing advances hold out the possibility – but first we have to agree on what ‘life’ means
“Creation of Life”, read the headline of the Boston Herald in 1899. “Lower Animals Produced by Chemical Means.” The report described the work of the German-American marine biologist Jacques Loeb, who later wrote: “The idea is now hovering before me that man himself can act as a creator, even in living nature.”
In fact, Loeb had merely made an unfertilised sea urchin egg divide by exposing it to a mixture of salts – he was not even close to creating life in the lab. No scientist has ever done that. But that ancient dream hovers today over the discipline called synthetic biology, the very name of which seems to promise the creation of artificial life forms. Take one of the most dramatic results in this field: in 2010, scientists at the J Craig Venter Institutes in Maryland and California announced they had made “the first self-replicating synthetic bacterial cell”.
He’s got name recognition and gravitas. But he lacks ideas for how to heal the fissures in Canadian society
Monday’s Canadian federal election is likely to determine the economic future of the country for years to come. Someone should inform the Conservatives and the New Democratic party (NDP). On 6 January this year, Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as prime minister and leader of the Liberal party, which had been in power since 2015. His resignation came amid plummeting support: the Liberals hadn’t formed a majority government since 2019 and on the day Trudeau resigned, the party netted its lowest approval rating at 20%. After a truncated leadership race, Mark Carney became Canada’s prime minister and leader of the Liberal party. He is now on the brink of retaining his position.
Pierre Poilievre, on the other hand, leader of the official opposition Conservative party, has seen his party’s fortunes ignominiously drop from 44% support when Trudeau resigned to 37% on 9 April. This is a battle of leadership, and while for two and a half years Poilievre seemed on course for victory at the next election, the re-election of Donald Trump in November reoriented politics. Poilievre has been flatfooted and unable to adjust to the new environment. Now he is struggling to retain his own seat.
