The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands They are far into the lethal zone. Three people who are being held in prison on charges connected with the protest group Palestine Action have been on hunger strike for 45, 59 and 66 days . A fourth prisoner, Teuta Hoxha, ended her strike this week, after 58 days. She could suffer lifelong health effects . The remaining strikers, Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed and Lewie Chiaramello, could pass away at any time . The 10 IRA and INLA hunger strikers who died in 1981 survived for between 46 and 73 days. Muraisi, whose strike has lasted the longest, is, according to supporters, now struggling to breathe and suffering uncontrollable muscle spasms – possible signs of neurological damage. Yet the government refuses to engage. It created this situation. The Crown Prosecution Service states that the maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months. Chiaramello, who was arrested in July 2025, has a provisional court date in January 2027, which means 18 months in prison without trial. George Monbiot is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

The 41-year-old is at home with young players and, crucially, he is familiar with the demands of Chelsea’s owners By Get French Football News Liam Rosenior looks up at the towering Strasbourg Kop. He shouts and pleads as he points to his players, demanding the fans applaud them. Met with hostility, boos and jeers in the stands, he cuts a lone figure, one at pains to sow unity at a divided club. Strasbourg had just won the game, beating Le Havre 1-0 earlier this season, but the club’s fans were in no mood to celebrate. Behind an image are a thousand words, or three banners in this case. One called for the club president Marc Keller to leave Strasbourg; another criticised the bizarre Ishé Samuels-Smith back-and-forth transfer; and the one to which Rosenior took particular exception concerned his captain, Emmanuel Emegha. It read: “Emegha, pawn of BlueCo, after changing shirts, hand back your armband.” Emegha had agreed a deal to join Chelsea a few days earlier, once again confirming to Strasbourg fans that they were subservient to “big brother” Chelsea in the multi-club hierarchy.

CFG have ditched Mumbai City and losing the glamour will hurt the game in the world’s most populated nation The world’s biggest multiclub network shrank from 13 to 12 in the last week of 2025 but few blame the City Football Group for walking away from Mumbai City and India after six years. The reason for divesting their shares which gave them 65% ownership was addressed, not that anyone needed enlightening in a statement. “CFG has made this decision after a comprehensive commercial review and in light of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of the Indian Super League (ISL).” Uncertainty is an underestimation. The 2025-26 ISL season was supposed to kick off in September . However, with a 15-year Masters Right Agreement between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and its commercial partner ending in December and no new agreement or partner in place, it never started. Most assumed that it would be a short-lived delay but here we are, in 2026, and there is still no football. A meeting took place in Delhi on Tuesday and produced a start date of 14 February, just six weeks short of a year since Mumbai’s last ISL game. How it works, if it works, remains to be seen.

Mail us with your questions and answers “After St Mirren beat Celtic in the Scottish League Cup, I wondered where it actually is,” writes Dan J. “The answer is (as everyone bar me knew) Paisley, right next to Glasgow airport. Which got me wondering, which team is closest to an airport? I reckon Glentoran, next to Belfast City, and Eastleigh, virtually in Southampton airport, are in with a shout. And Charlton if you are happy to swim part of the way. Any closer ones?” We had so many answers to this question, so thank you to one and all. Let’s start with a ground that is but a thunderclap away from the nearest airport. “The Icelandic football club Valur is near Rekjavík airport, which is mostly a domestic airport, but also has some international flights,” writes Kári Tulinius. “The distance from the fence around the airport to Valur’s fence is about 150 metres. From training pitch to the nearest piece of airport tarmac is 230m, and from corner flag to the end of the runway is 380m. All of these distances were measured with Google Maps.” Continue reading...

Ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro may have done more to hollow out China’s presence in his economy than Donald Trump ever could. As the US president moves to root out rivals and adversaries like China days after toppling Maduro, lost in the aftermath is that his 12-year rule already led to an unwinding of financial ties with Beijing. The threadbare partnership that’s endured belies what Maduro described as his country’s “ perfect union ” with China — in comments made to President Xi Jinping ’s envoy just hours before the shock capture last weekend. Although China is still Venezuela’s largest buyer of crude, with billions of dollars owed to Beijing, bilateral trade peaked the year before Maduro took power. Beijing’s loans also reached a historical high in 2012 and then tapered off, according to Tang Xiaoyang , a professor in international relations at Tsinghua University. Since then, however, economic ties with Venezuela have chilled as it descended into chaos while commodity prices turned lower, even as China positioned itself as a champion of the Global South and a counterweight to the US-led world order. A diminished relationship now means Beijing is unlikely to go tit for tat with Trump as the US seeks to extend its economic influence in Venezuela. Despite China’s expressions of dismay at Maduro’s downfall and the importance of keeping oil flowing from Venezuela, it will probably look to avoid the approach taken during an escalatory trade war with the US. In 2025, China’s imports from Venezuela were on pace to shrivel to just 8% of purchases it made 13 years ago, official data show. Its outstanding foreign direct investment in Venezuela was $318 million in 2024, less than a 10th the amount in 2018, according to an annual report by the Chinese government released in September. “It’s been almost a decade that China has begun to hedge their outstanding risk,” said Stephen Kaplan , associate professor at George Washington University’s Elliot School of Internati...

Nvidia's Vera Rubin enters full production, igniting Micron's HBM4 capacity bet for 2026 When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed at CES 2026 that its next-generation AI processor, Vera Rubin, had entered full production, the message to the memory industry was immediate. The move effectively ignited a new competitive cycle in sixth-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM4), as suppliers race to lock in design wins for Nvidia's post-Blackwell platforms. Micron targets 30% HBM4 capacity share Among the suppliers, Micron Technology is emerging as the most aggressive mover. South Korean industry sources cited by ETNews say the US memory maker plans to lift HBM4 capacity to 15,000 wafers per month in 2026. Based on Korean securities estimates that Micron's total HBM output is about 55,000 wafers per month, HBM4 would represent roughly 30% of overall capacity, signaling a decisive shift toward next-generation products. Industry insiders say Micron has already begun equipment investments, positioning itself to respond quickly as early HBM4 demand materializes. The timing aligns with Nvidia's confirmation that Vera Rubin has moved beyond sampling and validation into full-scale production. Samsung and SK Hynix join the race Micron will not be alone. Samsung and SK Hynix are also preparing HBM4 for Vera Rubin, with all three suppliers' products currently under evaluation by Nvidia as supply schedules and deployment timelines are coordinated. Market expectations point to February 2026 as the start of large-scale HBM4 co-supply for Nvidia platforms. Historically, Micron has trailed its South Korean rivals in HBM capacity. The 2026 expansion is widely seen as an attempt at a strategic reversal, pairing scale with its long-standing strength in low-power memory design. Ramp-up begins in second quarter 2026 That direction had already surfaced in Micron's guidance. During its December 17, 2025, earnings call, CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said the company would begin ramping HBM4 output from the ...
