The former British foreign secretary and head of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said the US “abandoning” of its aid programme under Donald Trump would worsen shocks to the global economy that would impact poor and wealthy countries alike.

Chewy in the middle and crisp at the edges, as any self-respecting Anzac biscuit ought to be, but here they’re sandwiched together with a slightly luxurious, mildly salted, olive oil-enriched dark chocolate ganache Anzac biscuits are closely associated with Anzac Day on 25 April, which commemorates the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who served in the first world war. Made with oats, coconut and golden syrup, the biscuits are said to have been popular because they travelled well and kept for long periods, making them suitable for sending to forces overseas. My version here, a slightly less austere take on the classic, sandwiches two small biscuits with a lightly salted, olive oil-enriched dark chocolate ganache. The result is crisp at the edges, soft within and not too sweet. Continue reading...

Pollution is ‘silent accelerator that robs individuals of their healthiest years’, say researchers Research reveals air pollution is advancing the average age that people in the UK acquire long-term illnesses. For some conditions people could be getting ill more than two years earlier because of the air pollution they breathe. The first author of the research from Prof Hualiang Lin’s group at Sun Yat-sen University said: “Our study demonstrates that air pollution is not just a risk factor for falling ill; it acts as a silent accelerator that robs individuals of their healthiest years.” Continue reading...

Lives could have been saved, had some of the adults involved acted differently. To prevent another Southport, parents must feel able to seek help It was shortly before Axel Rudakubana left the house that his mother is thought to have found the discarded packaging for a knife. His parents already knew that their 17-year-old son was ordering weapons by post; that he was watching graphic online footage of atrocities and had previously attacked a boy against whom he had a grievance. At home, his behaviour was so threatening that his own family walked on eggshells. But even though the only times their reclusive son had voluntarily left the house in the previous two years were with violence in mind , they still didn’t call the police when they realised he was gone.

Technology secretary plays down fears over jobs and cyber security as stake taken in British startup The UK technology secretary has urged the country to “make AI work for Britain”, brushing off fears about its impact on jobs and cybersecurity as the government announced its first investment under a £500m sovereign AI fund. Liz Kendall said the UK had to “seize” the opportunity offered by AI despite concerns underlined this month when US startup Anthropic revealed it had developed an AI model that posed a potentially significant cyber threat . Asked how the government makes the case for embracing a technology that could disrupt jobs and now cybersecurity, Kendall said: “We have to seize this to make it work, for Britain, for our jobs, for solving the biggest challenges we face as a world.” Speaking on Thursday as the government unveiled its first investment in a UK company as part of a £500m sovereign AI fund, Kendall acknowledged “people are worried about the risks and what it means for their jobs”, but AI entrepreneurs also believed they can “make it work … they can create jobs”.

Wheat was set for its biggest weekly gain in almost two months, as persistent weather concerns and tighter fertilizer supplies linked to the Iran war stoked worries over the crop’s supply outlook. The most active wheat contracts on the Chicago Board of Trade were on track to climb nearly 5% on the week, their biggest such jump since February. The hard red winter variety extended gains to hit its highest level since June 2024. Drought conditions were expected to linger in key areas of the US Great Plains, while in Australia, a shortage of farm inputs and persistent dryness weighed on wheat acreage in the major producer and exporter. Dry weather also continued in parts of the Black Sea growing region and some areas of Europe, impacting wheat supply outlook in some of the world’s top producing regions, according to the latest forecasts from Vaisala XWeather. “Much of the gain has been driven by sustained dry conditions in western HRW wheat regions,” said Tobin Gorey, a strategist at Cornucopia Agri Analytics, referring to the hard red winter grain. Fertilizer supply worries, especially for southern winter crops like in Australia, and an impending El Nino have also helped boost prices, he added. The bullish run could have limits given ample global supplies, Gorey said. Still, any potential crop issues in Australia and Argentina could provide a catalyst for more price gains later, he added. Planting acreage for the 2026/27 wheat crop in Australia is expected to fall to a seven-year low , according to a Bloomberg survey, as weak prices and fertilizer and fuel shortages weigh on harvest prospects. US President Donald Trump said America and Iran could clinch a permanent ceasefire, striking a positive tone for a possible end to the conflict now nearing the end of its seventh week. However, the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, prolonging an energy and fertilizer crisis and threatening production of key crops worldwide.
