As the right celebrates the resignation of the Harvard president as victory', concerns rise over equality initiatives in universitiesOn Tuesday afternoon, Claudine Gay resigned from her post as president of Harvard University, making her six-month tenure the shortest in university history. In the aftermath of her departure from the position, many argued that the aggressive nature of the campaign against her was motivated not by questions about her academic integrity or about her response to campus controversy, but by her race.Pressure on Gay to resign grew following her 5 December congressional testimony, where she, along with the presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania, answered questions regarding allegations of on-campus antisemitism related to the Israel-Gaza war. Shortly thereafter, plagiarism allegations published on conservative website the Washington Free Beacon mounted against Gay, ultimately leading to her resignation. Continue reading...
The assassination of a Hamas leader in Beirut and Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea increase the risksFrom the moment that the full extent of the 7 October atrocities by Hamas in southern Israel became evident, the spectre of an ensuing regional conflict loomed in the background. Since then, attention has been fixed on Israel's pummelling of Gaza, where the death toll passed 22,000 this week, according to Palestinian health authorities. Yet in recent weeks the risk of a greater conflagration has grown.The assassination of the senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut marks a new and dangerous moment, as Israel (which did not publicly claim responsibility) will have known. Arouri was the group's key conduit to Lebanon-based Hezbollah and to Iran. His death is a blow not only to Hamas but the broader network. It follows last week's killing - which Tehran blames on Israel - of an Iranian military official who oversaw the shipping of arms to Hezbollah. Continue reading...

Gratitude journalling leaves me cold, but Ross Gay's delight practice' turns out to be exactly what I need to cope with this whole being-a-human-in-2024 thingNo doubt about it, these are dark days. I'm writing this from the west of Scotland, where at this time of year there are only brief glimmers of daylight before twilight descends again. Then, of course, there is the metaphorical darkness of current news events, inescapable wherever you live.I was feeling pretty bleak about this whole being-a-human-in-2024 thing until I read about an intriguing idea from Catherine Price in the New York Times. She writes about the American poet Ross Gay and his essay collection The Book of Delights, in which he challenges himself each day to document one frivolous, quirky or downright strange thing that provokes joy. Conducted over the course of a year, it's a gloriously unpredictable compendium of observations and celebrations of a life lived with full attention.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Two explosions have killed at least 103 people and injured scores more at a memorial ceremony in Iran marking the fourth anniversary of the killing of Qassem Suleimani, head of Iran's Quds Force and one of the most powerful men in the Middle East.

Suleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad in 2020 and was seen as the leader directing Iranian proxy forces in Iraq and Syria
Too long demeaned and treated as playthings by executives, female artists are finally getting the attention they deserveMadonna, Beyonce, Britney, Whitney: if you think about the most iconic names in mainstream pop history, you'll probably come up with a list of women. And this week, we have solid confirmation of female artists' dominance. British audiences listen to more female musicians than male, according to the latest industry figures for 2023.It was the most successful performance for women on the UK singles chart since it began in 1952, the British Phonographic Institute (BPI) found. This included artists such as Raye and PinkPantheress, both of whom saw their music proliferate on TikTok this year, and those global heavy hitters you'd probably expect: Miley Cyrus - whose single Flowers stayed at No 1 for 10 weeks on the UK chart - Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo et al.

Jeff Jackson made a splash in his single term but will be running for North Carolina attorney general after a newly partisan state supreme court redrew his district mapA little over nine months after he was sworn in to his first term in Congress, Jeff Jackson, a freshman US representative for North Carolina, announced he would leave the body at the end of his term.To an outsider, that might seem like a surprising decision. In just his first few months in Congress, Jackson had become well-known for smart, short videos explaining what was going on at the Capitol. By April, he had more followers on TikTok than any other member of Congress, the Washington Post reported (as of mid-December he had 2.5 million). By all accounts, he was a rising star.

The Championship club, part-owned by Tom Brady, chased a Hollywood name when they appointed Wayne Rooney. They fired the head coach after 15 gamesWayne Rooney's most memorable contribution as Birmingham City manager was the unforgettable meme that summed up his ill-fated 15-game spell. Captured despondently leaning against a wall in the St Andrew's tunnel, visibly exasperated after a disappointing match (of which there were many), the picture was never a positive one for the former England and Manchester United striker at the club. His sacking had been coming.Birmingham City were sixth in the Championship table when Rooney took over in October. Now, 15 matches and just two wins later, they are slumped in 20th place. A season that was shaping up to be a promotion push has become a fight against relegation. Rooney believes he should have been given more time to get it right, but the situation had become unsalvageable. Keeping Rooney for any longer could have caused even more damage, on and off the pitch. Continue reading...

Biden-Harris camp announces campaign plan that aims to draw sharp contrast between US president and Donald Trump. Plus, how to get seriously fit from scratch - in 12 easy, enjoyable steps
We must keep watching. It is only in this pain that we will charge our resolve and our power - and force America and Israel to end this bloody warOver these last horrific months, Instagram has exploded with catastrophic images and videos of the genocide taking place in Gaza. We have seen formerly incubated babies found abandoned on hospital beds, huge craters where apartment buildings and neighborhoods once stood, bones emerging from rubble. One particular video haunts me. I watch it on my phone. I watch it again. A dust covered, anguished father crawls towards his limp, gray, dead 10 month old baby. He covers him with his body. He holds the baby rocking and rocking him as if to say, gone, gone, gone." He slaps the floor with his hand. He cries out over and over. Then the energy changes, suddenly terrifying, suddenly shocking. I have never seen a man's body go mad from the inside. I have never seen legs scream - their movements convulsive, spasmodic, as if taken, charged by electrocuting grief.And I realize there must be a person filming this and I wonder if the father is aware or if he is so far gone into the horror that he is no longer in that room or in this realm at all. And I ask myself what does it mean to be recording the mad vulnerability of grief in real time? And I worry that watching this is somehow invasive, entering an intimacy I have not earned. This father, a stranger and this probably the most catastrophic moment of his life. But the video is on Instagram. I assume that the father must have agreed to be filmed, agreed for the video to be posted here. And this reminds me of the mothers of the Say Her Name campaign, the extraordinary mothers of the daughters, sisters, granddaughters who were murdered by the police. I remember a particular event a few years ago where they were being honored after a play. I was on stage with several of them who were sharing their stories. One of the mothers began to cry as she spoke, which grew into a loud wail. I could tell she was losing control. So I gently took her arm and asked if she might want to walk off stage for a minute. She froze, looked at me with total clarity and said, No, no, let them see us. Let them know our pain."V (formerly Eve Ensler) is a playwright and activist and the founder of V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls Continue reading...
The former federal prosecutor and presidential contender has morphed into a punchline, full-time defendant and deadbeatChalk up 2023 as Rudy Giuliani's annus horribilis. On the other hand, 2024 may even be worse. The man once known as America's mayor" faces financial ruin and criminal prosecution with no end in sight to his woes. The hair-dye dripping down his face at a 2020 press conference ominously presaged what would eventually follow. It took less than two decades for the former federal prosecutor and contender for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination to morph into a punchline, full-time defendant and deadbeat.Back in the day, Giuliani garnered a reputation for crime-busting - perp-walking Wall Street bankers and sending mobsters to jail. In summer 2023, a Fulton county, Georgia, grand jury indicted him on state-law racketeering charges along with the 45th president and a host of supporting characters. Continue reading...

I started wearing them to test my sister's lighthearted theory about feminism. Now I can't do without their vibrant versatilityMy sister has three questions she asks men who say they're feminists. It only takes one yes" to pass her test, and yet few do. The questions are: if you get married to a woman, would you (and any kids) take her surname? If you had children with a woman, would you step back from your career to be their primary carer? And, simplest of all, would you wear a skirt in public?The questions are lighthearted, and not intended to truly cut to the heart of feminist issues, but it's interesting to see how many men sheepishly give three no" answers nonetheless. Despite much apparent progress towards gender equity, some conventions around how men feel they must act and dress differently to women are stubbornly persistent, from family to fashion.

With the country's population tumbling, what Italy really needs is greater immigration, yet how could Giorgia Meloni sanction that?Fifty years ago in Italy, there was one person over 65 for every child aged six or under. Just before Christmas, Italy's national statistics office, Istat, revealed that the ratio is now 5.6 to 1. The population pyramid has been inverted, with 24% of the Italian population now over 65.With the death rate rising every year, the Italian population decreases by around 180,000 people per annum.

It is time for a major political change - and Labour must resist the Tory call to idiocy and project a vision to tackle the climate, housing and NHS crisesThe wise heads making careful analyses of when the general election might be, plotting hypothetical growth against likely drops in inflation and interest rates, splicing in the weather and the vibes, are missing something about the current government. It doesn't really make decisions; decisions are forced on it, by crises it didn't see coming because it was too busy trying to create chaos elsewhere. We will save ourselves a lot of time if we just assume the election is tomorrow. What would a great run-up look like, for those of us who, ideally, would like to see the Conservatives defeated? How could a challenger candidate, who for the sake of argument we will call Keir Starmer, put hope in our hearts and engender a sense that something different, something constructive, something meaningful might come out of Downing Street?It would be great to see Starmer start with a presumption of love. Certainly since the start of the coalition government, arguably since David Cameron became Conservative leader, the drumbeat has been to punish the out-group. Benefit claimants and disabled people - remember when they crashed the economy? Then public sector workers, then migrants, then the metropolitan elite, then migrants again, then the wokerati, then lawyers, then trans kids, then refugees, then the civil service, then (checking notes, as it hardly seems possible) homeless people, then migrants again. The rhetoric might jump around from lordly censure to outright hatred but it all has the same lacuna where the engine of society should sit. Continue reading...
I'm a friend to both Israelis and Palestinians, and all my experience tells me this: tough negotiation will achieve what bombs cannotAfter the Hamas terror of 7 October and Benjamin Netanyahu's horrific retaliation in Gaza, some long overdue truths need stating. First, Israel is not going to destroy Hamas", as its leaders promise - not even by destroying Gaza.Although Israel is damaging Hamas militarily, maybe significantly, with many of its tunnels eliminated and its fighters fleeing, Hamas is a movement and an ideology that, in many respects, Netanyahu's extremism helped to promote.Lord Hain is a former UK Middle East minister and Northern Ireland secretary of stateDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

Despite its vast mineral wealth, corruption keeps the Congolese poor - and western governments help the regime stay in powerProvisional results in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) presidential election have indicated Felix Tshisekedi is the winner.

This is in part because the west has blocked the creation of an international criminal tribunal for the country, which is needed to end the culture of impunity fuelling violence, famine and the climate crisis killing and displacing Congolese people.
