Elham Credit Partners is planning its second Asia Pacific-focused fund, according to people familiar with the matter, underscoring sustained investor demand in the region even as the global $1.8 trillion industry grapples with mounting challenges. Singapore-based Elham, the private credit arm of Hillhouse Investment , is seeking to raise more than roughly $600 million in total it secured for its inaugural strategy fund last year, the people said, asking not to be named citing private discussions. The latest fund could raise $700 million to $750 million, one of the people said. The plan is still in early stages and could change depending on market conditions, the people said. Elham’s first fund invested in deals including in India, Australia, and Japan, they said. There was no immediate response from Elham to requests for comment. Elham is the latest manager to expand in Asia Pacific, where private credit funds are seen as less vulnerable to the liquidity strains that have rattled the US market. While the region represents only a small slice of the asset class, managers typically employ more conservative lending practices and largely operate through close-ended structures. Still, scrutiny is growing .

A British and American film crew descend on the Northern Irish city to film a drama about the Troubles, in a keenly observed and snappily written debut The premise of Séamas O’Reilly’s brilliant debut novel is that a Hollywood actor has flown into Derry to star in a new TV series about the Troubles called Dead City, then mysteriously disappeared. But its real interest lies in what happens when a place becomes defined by a particular historical moment, to the extent that stories told about it lapse into formula. As one character says of the TV series: “A young lad coming of age in a time of violence, will he get caught up in everything or find another way through blah blah blah.” O’Reilly is determined to show us that the people of Derry are not so easily stereotyped. He uses Dead City as a starting point to circle through different characters connected to the series, from a stressed scriptwriter to a local historian who wonders, “How do you talk about the past as a person still living it, in a place that barely survived it?” As we move through the novel, we discover the links between them, creating a patchwork portrait of the city, similar to the way Tommy Orange’s novel There, There used a chorus of voices to explore the lives of Native Americans.

The body that represents the UK’s sunbed salons is wrongly insisting that a tan protects against sunburn, even though leading medical bodies say that claim is untrue. Health organisations have challenged the accuracy of information being disseminated by the Sunbed Association, which on its website asks: “Is it true there is no such thing as a safe tan?” Its answer – “No. Tanned skin protects against sunburn” – has prompted Cancer Research UK and the British Association of Dermatologists to warn that a tan can increase the risk of skin cancer. The website also claimed that sunburn is “thought to be the main cause of melanoma. [And that] if you avoid getting sunburned, the benefits of moderate sun exposure will far outweigh the risks.” The Sunbed Association’s claim is contained in a section of its website which poses and answers frequently asked questions about sunbeds, tanning and UV radiation. Its defence of the alleged benefit of tanned skin came to the attention of Full Fact, the factchecking organisation. It checked the association’s statement with seven UK, European and US health bodies. They refuted the idea that tanning is protective and said a tan indicated the person’s skin has been damaged by the sun, leaving them at heightened risk of skin cancer. Sophie Brooks, the health information manager at Cancer Research UK, told Full Fact: “There’s no such thing as safe tanning from UV radiation.. “A tan is a sign of skin damage and offers very little protection against the sun. A bit of sun helps our bodies make Vitamin D. But there’s no need to sunbathe or risk sunburn to get enough Vitamin D. Too much sun can cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer.” The British Association of Dermatologists said: “There is no safe way to get a tan. Whether from the sun or a sunbed, a tan is a visible sign that your skin has been damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which increases your risk of skin cancer.” The NHS, National Institute for Health and Care Excellenc...

Photograph: Jill Mead/Positively UK, Bishopsgate Institute The show, Tenderness and Rage, at the Wellcome Collection, London, reflects how different groups affected by HIV, including gay men, women of colour, and refugees in the UK and around the world have found power, solidarity, comfort and joy in Aids activism and support services. The show begins by looking back at the Aids epidemic in London in the early 1990s. A documentary, Dancing Whilst Diagnosed, tells the story of the Landmark, a drop-in centre in Tulse Hill, south London, for people affected by HIV/Aids. Former staff and volunteers recall helping people with the violence, stigma and discrimination that came with diagnosis. But they also reveal the joy and solidarity service users found in a rare safe space, including parties with DJs, drag queens and African music. Marc Thompson, a former service user who went on to work in HIV prevention and sexual health, said: “It was the only place that I felt really safe about my HIV. I didn’t have to disclose it to anybody. There was no guessing or hiding, so that really helped me navigate those early years of my own diagnosis.” Thompson said the exhibition title captured the experience of the 1990s Aids epidemic. “We were so hurt and damaged by everything that we were experiencing that the rage came out through loss or through protest. The tenderness resonated with me because of places like the Landmark. That was a place that we could go to get some of that rage soothed and looked after and be nursed and given a balm....

With a new film about the model out this week, it’s the perfect excuse for some Mosstalgia • Don’t get Fashion Statement delivered to your inbox? Sign up here There are models, there are supermodels and then there is Kate Moss. Scouted aged 14 while waiting for a flight at New York’s JFK airport, the Londoner quickly went on to define the fashion aesthetic of the 90s. There have been countless magazine covers including 43 issues of British Vogue, scads of advertising campaigns spanning Calvin Klein to Chanel and Tom Ford and hundreds of catwalk moments including, most recently, a thong-baring appearance at Demna’s Gucci debut . She’s been sung about by Pete Doherty and Playboi Carti, sculpted by Marc Quinn and painted by Chuck Close, Banksy and Lucian Freud. The latter is now the subject of a new film, Moss & Freud . Directed by James Lucas and executive produced by Moss, it explores the model’s friendship with the then – 80-year-old painter during 2002 when she sat, pregnant, for him. That lifesize naked portrait later sold for £3.5m . Ahead of the film’s release on Friday, our writers reflect on their Mossy memories from the nineties to now. Continue reading...

Lahav Shani’s eight-year tenure at the helm of the Rotterdam Philharmonic is coming to a close – he becomes chief conductor at the Munich Philharmonic in September – and he is leaving this fine orchestra in good shape. Their recording of Dvořák’s Symphony No 9 brings a natural freshness to this familiar work, offering no big surprises or grand gestures but holding the attention fast with an elegant restlessness. View image in fullscreen The artwork for Dvořák: Symphony No 9. The unfolding of the first movement is unhurried but unstoppable: Shani doesn’t overshape the phrases, but gives them the space and momentum to flow organically from one to the next. The big woodwind solos – the velvety flute in the first movement, the cor anglais in the second – make their mark without signposting. Nothing is overly heavy, and there’s a skip to the middle section of the third movement that makes it sound almost humorous. But the finale still has all the weight it needs, its fluster and seriousness dissolving into a sweet clarinet solo and then blooming into something joyous and grand. As an overture, there’s a Dutch rarity: Johan Wagenaar’s 1905 tone poem Cyrano de Bergerac. It couldn’t be more transparently inspired by Strauss’s Don Juan, but is easy to enjoy, and finds the Rotterdam players on swashbuckling form.

A tidal island off Ynys Môn (Anglesey) With an impressive mix of mountain and sea views, the 130-mile Anglesey Coastal Path is a must-do for those who love a good walk. But like most locals, my perennial favourite is the offshoot trail out to the tidal island Ynys Llanddwyn. Having grown up on Ynys Môn but now living in London, for me it has become something of an annual pilgrimage in the summer months. The mile-long walk along the main beach to the island is manageable and fun for grandparents and grandkids alike – with the white-washed lighthouses offering a rewarding end viewpoint. Pack a picnic, swim in the clear waters and relax – just make sure you’ve checked the tide times!

Pick of the week Cape Fear Max Cady is back! The terrifying villain of the 1962 and 1991 films is brought unsettlingly back to life in this serialised remake by a perfectly cast Javier Bardem. Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg loom over this version as executive producers but the ambience feels fresh enough to make it worthwhile. Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson are the Bowdens, a slightly self-satisfied pair of legal high-flyers whose family life is menaced by Cady, a released prisoner who blames them for his murder conviction 17 years earlier. Sympathies seem more ambiguously balanced this time thanks to Bardem’s devilish charisma and suggestions that the Bowdens might not be as squeaky-clean as they seem.

Photograph: HBO It feels like a discarded plotline from Zoolander but the events described in this documentary series are grimly real. In the early 1980s, model Hoyt Richards came into the orbit of Manhattan socialite Frederick von Mierers and fell hard for his cocktail of self-improvement, eastern philosophy and new age woo. Soon, he was part of Von Mierers’s spiritual group (or cult, if you prefer) Eternal Values. The series (directed by Chris Smith of Fyre fame) tracks the group’s journey into exploitation – and Richards’s route out.

China is expected to keep adding to its gold reserves as central banks in emerging markets turn to the precious metal to diversify their reserve assets, the World Gold Council said. “We expect central banks, including China’s, to continue increasing gold holdings, though the pace may vary,” Joe Cavatoni, the council’s senior market strategist and head of public policy, said this week. China’s gold reserves stood at 74.64 million troy ounces at the end of last month, up 260,000 troy ounces from March, according to the People’s Bank of China, marking the 18th straight month of increases. By comparison, the US holds 261.48 million troy ounces, the world’s largest gold reserve, which has remained unchanged in recent quarters, according to the US Treasury and US Federal Reserve. Advertisement The trend should not be framed as de-dollarisation , Cavatoni said, adding that “it’s an opportunity for someone to diversify away from the dollar as a reserve asset because there are not many options that are very viable.” Gold demand was being supported by structural concerns over rising debt levels in developed economies and the continued erosion of fiat currencies’ purchasing power, Cavatoni said on Wednesday. Turkey offered one example, he added, as the country was tapping its gold reserves to help manage its current-account deficit and support the value of its currency. Advertisement Chinese retail and institutional investors have also driven strong global demand for gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year. China led global gold ETF inflows in the first four months of the year, attracting about US$9 billion, more than twice the US$3.6 billion recorded by second-placed India. Switzerland and the United Kingdom followed, each drawing inflows of US$1.9 billion, while the United States recorded outflows of US$1.3 billion.

Having successfully retrieved her phone, the woman presented her Taiwan resident travel permit in front of the camera and exclaimed “We, China is the safest country in the world”. The woman, surnamed Tsao, lost her phone around 11pm in the Singing Sand Dunes tourist site in Dunhuang, northwestern China’s Gansu province, on May 15. Taiwan tourist Tsao, above, was delighted about her mobile phone being found. Photo: Xinhua The Singing Sand Dunes is a nationally famous tourist spot. The shifting sand makes a musical humming sound when the wind blows. It also features a spectacular natural oasis named after its shape, the Crescent Moon Spring. Advertisement The site was dark and cold at night, and the sand was so soft that if a person walked on it, the phone might sink deeper. Also, the wind shifted the sand, moving lost items together. She said she was “in despair” as staff waited with her for the police officers, who arrived in just four minutes. Advertisement The two officers of the tourist site immediately began searching after asking the phone’s whereabouts.

When Terma A/S began selling technology to protect critical infrastructure more than a decade ago, its clients were mostly airports, ports, and power facilities in the Middle East. Today, Denmark’s largest defense company is fielding inquiries from embassies and even museums as demand for counter-drone systems surges. Orders for such capabilities are also coming in from energy operators in Europe, and the company is in talks with the region’s ports, airports and bridge operators, Terma Chief Executive Officer Henriette Hallberg Thygesen said in an interview. “Suddenly, there is an interest in having a completely different level of monitoring,” she said in Copenhagen. “There are entirely new entities coming forward with demand.” The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have accelerated a shift toward low-cost drone warfare, reshaping the way defense companies operate. Ukraine has shown how small, low-cost unmanned aircraft can exhaust manpower and attack military, energy and civilian infrastructure. Iran demonstrated how large mass-produced “suicide drones” can challenge advanced air defense systems. In Europe, meanwhile, a wave of unexplained drone sightings near airports, military sites and critical infrastructure heightened concerns over surveillance, sabotage and hybrid operations . Thygesen said she sees significant growth potential in civilian security needs, with new demand starting to feed into Terma’s results. The company, which also manufactures space technology and military aircraft components, including for the F-35 fighter jet program, on Friday is reporting a 17% increase in revenue and a 43% rise in order intake in the fiscal year ended February. Terma doesn’t disclose the revenue generated by its anti-drone technology, and costs for each system vary as they are tailor made. Defense development cycles are becoming shorter, according to Thygesen, who took over as CEO of Terma in 2024 after nearly three decades at A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S and also serves on...

Leftist Party Wants Voting Rights For All Foreigners Who've Lived In Germany For 5 Years Via Remix News, Germany’s Left Party is pushing for a major overhaul of the German electoral system by proposing that foreign residents without a German passport be granted voting rights after five years of legal residency. To achieve this, the Left faction in the Bundestag has submitted a formal application demanding that anyone residing legally in the country for at least five years be permitted to vote in federal elections, irrespective of their nationality. The move would serve as a major electoral boost for left-wing parties, with foreigners overwhelmingly voting for these parties when given the opportunity. Data from the Federal Statistical Office cited in the motion reveals that over 14 million people living in Germany in 2025 lacked German citizenship, a figure that includes roughly 5 million EU citizens. This foreign population has resided in the country for an average of 15 years. In other words, this pool of potential voters for the left is massive. The initiative also urges the federal government to collaborate with individual states to implement identical changes for state and municipal elections, according to German news outlet Tagesspiegel . The party argues that the current system suffers from an expanding democratic deficit due to the fact that non-German nationals are systematically blocked from participating in federal, state, and most local elections. The Left finds this exclusion “intolerable, “ given the democratic principles outlined in the Basic Law, arguing that it ignores the reality of Germany as an “immigration society.” Addressing potential legal hurdles, the Left Party points out that while the Federal Constitutional Court blocked voting rights for foreigners back in 1990, this stance deserves reconsideration due to shifting global dynamics and the fact that EU citizens have since gained local voting rights. They also highlight a linguistic nuance i...

Even though U.S. stocks continue to set new all-time highs, investors still need to reckon with some warning signs. Inflation and interest rates, in particular, are pain points. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is approaching 4% and climbing due to the conflict in Iran and soaring energy prices. It's creating an environment where the Fed may not be able to cut the benchmark federal funds rate as expected and high interest rates will be here for longer. In many ways, it resembles the 2022 bear market. Back then, of course, inflation would rise to 9%, and the Fed needed to raise rates aggressively to try to bring it back down. 2026's environment isn't quite that extreme, but it could cap returns on fixed income and affect stock prices negatively in the near future. So even though the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.58%) is still hitting records, investors should at least be thinking of ways to protect themselves. If we're using 2022 for guidance, dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) might be a good place to start looking. During that year, income products were in a bit of a boom period. Defensive equities held up well, and any ETF that avoided too much tech exposure had a much better chance of outperforming the S&P 500. Many of them did and beat the index by a wide margin.
