At this ambitious circus, everyone does everything – from aerial acrobatics to building the stage itself

The Fijian Flying Circus is a lo-fi, high-energy mix that teaches its performers a valuable grab-bag of theatre and life skills even as they charm the crowds I’m watching a young man dressed like a bird flying through the air under a big top when I look past him, outside the tent door opposite me, and see a line of people holding on to a rope, muscles straining and shining with sweat in Brisbane’s muggy heat. My eyes trace the cable back inside and I realise that this rope and this group of people are what is holding the performer up in the air. Moments earlier, the rope wranglers were on stage themselves, dancing and performing acrobatic tricks. I don’t know if this is how other circuses work but it’s how things go with the Fijian Flying Circus, whose performers are responsible for every bit of magic you see on stage – including the stage itself.

The students returning to school after sexual assault: ‘You go back the next day, and you just deal with it’

Peer-on-peer violence is on the rise. But when schools must balance a duty of care to both victims and perpetrators, where does this leave girls who have to pursue their education in the shadow of sexual assault? In the wake of the latest headlines about alleged sexual assaults involving school boys and the death of a 16-year-old girl from suspected sexual choking, national cabinet has agreed to prioritise its plan to end sexual violence against women , the NSW government has flagged a new set of priorities with education ministers and the federal government has announced draft legislation for a digital duty of care . Meanwhile, the victim at the centre of an alleged gang-rape involving two students from a Sydney private school and another boy has prepared to sit her HSC exams. “I can’t imagine what she is going through,” police prosecutor Sergeant Rhonda Riley told the court last month. “But she will need to complete her HSC going through pain and fear – not only mentally – for some time going forward.” Continue reading...

Manchester United v Manchester City: Premier League – live

⚽️ Manchester derby updates from 4.30pm BST ⚽️ Febrile derby awaits amid rift between United fans and club ⚽️ Today’s scores | Drop Rob an email Manchester City have enjoyed a perfect start to the season without ever looking fully convincing in their victories. There are certainly more positives than negatives as Enzo Maresca learns more and more about his team. Against Porto they were sloppy for far too long and the midfield continues to look open, so a statement performance against their fiercest rivals would be ideal. The quality to rip open a team that has conceded two in each of their three Premier League outings thus far is there, and if it all finally clicks, then it could be a fine day for City. Michael Carrick is in a not dissimilar position but only has four points to show for United’s indifferent efforts. There is always an underlying pressure for any Manchester United and he faces difficult league games today and next weekend at Fulham before an elongated international break. He can’t afford two defeats because there will be a long silence that will be filled with think pieces on the club because it is impossible to escape the noise at this club. Continue reading...

Combined value of 275 women’s claims is far greater than amount Harrods has set aside for payouts Compensation claims by 275 survivors of alleged sexual abuse by the former owner of Harrods Mohamed Al Fayed could reach between £100m and £150m, according to a law firm representing the women. The combined value of their claims, calculated by KP Law (KPL), which represents more than half of known survivors, is around two to three times greater than the amount the luxury department store has set aside for all abuse payouts.

Rare show of unity from rival developers after safety warnings from Anthropic boss and AI researchers The Guardian view on controlling AI: humanity cannot outsource its survival Sam Altman and Elon Musk have backed a call from the head of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, to “slow the pace” of AI development after he warned that an AI swarm could otherwise become capable of “taking over the entire internet” within a year. In a rare show of unity, the rival technology leaders threw their weight behind the appeal from the founder and chief executive of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, which came after a series of warnings from AI researchers last week.

Greatest Rivalry swagger showed South Africa will take some beating at World Cup

All Blacks were valiant in 3-1 series defeat but Springboks send another warning to rest of the world in Baltimore What is the enduring image of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series? The Springboks put the exclamation mark on their status as World Cup favourites by wrapping up the series 3-1 with victory in Baltimore on Saturday , but in months and years to come where will the mind immediately go when reflecting on this epic? The reality is that after four Tests of remarkable intensity – a brutal reminder of the levels required to compete with the two biggest beasts in the world game – there are plenty. But it is hard to look beyond the 65th minute of the third Test in Soweto , when the Boks’ tank rumbled over from 20 metres. Malcolm Marx was awarded the try and there would be no more deserving recipient of a player of the series award. Continue reading...

A joyful harvest: the young Welsh farmers growing food for Birmingham

A charity in Powys provides the land while growers do the hard work, producing bumper crops for city children Kilos and kilos of courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes and salad leaves are ripe and ready for picking on a small Welsh farm in the rural county of Powys. The haul being harvested by Tilly Gomersall is not just impressive after a difficult growing season hit by a record string of heatwaves and drought across all of Wales and most of England, but all the more remarkable given that 18 months ago the site was uncultivated pasture.

Chelsea thrash Manchester United in WSL as Lauren James revels in free role

A swaggering Chelsea cast off any suggestion that they had lost the ability to kill off games, putting five goals past a worryingly lacklustre and lackadaisical Manchester United side. The match had been talked about as something of a must win for Sonia Bompastor’s side after they were inexplicably held to a 1-1 draw by Aston Villa on the opening weekend , despite a staggering domination of that match. Criticism felt harsh given their level of control over the game, but signs of the profligacy evident last season reared its head in warning at Stamford Bridge. Continue reading...
