Joe Root makes most of no-ball luck as England win despite Pakistan scare

England lose two wickets in first over but win series 3-0 Root reprived on 23 and finishes with unbeaten 62 It was a run chase that began in alarming fashion for England as Mohammad Abbas hitched up his strides, glided into the crease, and sent Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay trudging back to the Edgbaston pavilion to bookend a magical first over. Pakistan’s players suddenly believed, their supporters inside Edgbaston likewise. After Razaullah’s firework display with the bat the previous evening, it was hard not to wonder whether their penchant for the unexpected – that seemingly innate ability to flip the script from nowhere – was rearing its head once more.

‘I love the boldness of modernism’: New York fashion week goes highbrow

Georgia O’Keeffe inspires the latest Calvin Klein while Michael Kors feels indebted to Alexander Calder Calvin Klein has taken a highbrow turn in the two years since Veronica Leoni took charge. The Italian designer, a philosophy graduate who was schooled in the chic design studios of Jil Sander and Celine, has shifted away from jeans, boxer shorts and logos, stripping the brand to its minimalist bones: slip dresses and simple coats, slim skirts and crisp T-shirts. Leoni called this the “discipline of removal”. Her muse this season was Georgia O’Keeffe, an artist who the brand’s namesake founder admired. Klein bought O’Keeffe’s painting Summer Days in 1983 for $1m, subsequently donating it to the Whitney Museum. A checked pattern taken from O’Keeffe’s distinctive capsule wardrobe of utilitarian chic appeared on this catwalk as a wrap coat, hardware-free with a fabric belt and no buttons. Continue reading...

Deepfakes are wrecking influencers’ credibility, one fake ad at a time

Influencers aren’t just battling competitors for brand deals. They’re now battling AI versions of themselves Earlier this year, Emily Schuman, the creator of the lifestyle blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, saw a photo of herself she didn’t recognize on Instagram. In a sponsored ad, Schuman, who has more than 500,000 Instagram followers, is holding up a vial of GLP-1 drugs, advertising the telehealth company Gala. There was just one problem: Schuman had never heard of Gala and had nothing to do with the ad. The ad was based on a digitally altered version of a selfie Schuman had taken in her car and posted on Instagram years earlier. Once her followers got wind, they flooded her inbox with questions about the sponsorship as it didn’t seem consistent with Schuman’s personal brand. Soon after, Schuman discovered this was just the beginning. There was also an Instagram post where an AI version of her with darker hair appears to apply foundation to promote a makeup brand called Meroda Cosmetics, and TikTok posts with generated images of her promoting the blood testing company Superpower.

‘Wonderfully rich and nutty’: the best supermarket mature cheddar, tasted and rated

These days, there’s a bewildering array of mature cheddar out there, but the good stuff can be hard to find. Which blocks have that tangy farmhouse flavour and which are better left on the supermarket shelf? • The best vegan cheese, tasted and rated As a West Country lad from the Somerset borders, I believe cheddar should come from Cheddar. The village boasts England’s largest limestone gorge , at three miles long and almost 400ft deep, and the stable low temperatures, high humidity and unique microbiome of its caves are perfect for maturing this famous cheese. But good cheddar can be hard to find, not least because it’s a British kitchen staple that’s often sold as a loss-leader and produced by industrial creameries. The resulting generic block of cheese is pleasant enough, but if you want something with a complex flavour profile, crunchy calcium lactate crystals and a creamy texture, you’re going to have to put in some legwork.

Calls for investigation after video shows ICE officers using batons on protesters

Residents in Frederick, Maryland, shaken after clashes as activists decry violence from officers as ‘unconscionable’ Political leaders in Maryland are calling for investigations into the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) officers as they clashed with protesters during a federal operation in a local community. Residents of Frederick, a city about 50 miles north-west of Baltimore, are still shaken more than a week after ICE officers arrived in numerous vehicles and could be seen on video footage using batons on members of the public and driving their cars on to the sidewalk towards people.

Michael Carrick has overseen the division’s highest home points-per-game return in that span: 2.7, ahead of Arsenal’s 2.27 (from 12 matches) and Manchester City’s 2.25 (11); and his side have scored the most goals: 26, to City’s 23, and the champions’ 20.

We know how to prevent black lung, so why are workers still dying?

Sufferers of black lung and silicosis are getting younger as Trump and the coal mining industry push back on protections Silicosis is one of the oldest workplace hazards and public health experts have known for decades how to prevent it. Yet a new wave of workers, from Appalachian coalminers to Latino countertop fabrication workers, are developing and dying from the disease as industry fights new protections and regulators fail to defend the rules that could protect them. John Robinson’s grandfather developed black lung back when coalminers could spend decades in the mines before being diagnosed with the disease, often dying in their 60s, 70s and 80s. But Robinson, who mined for coal in south-west Virginia, was diagnosed when he was 47. He’s part of a trend that has grown over the past two decades in central Appalachia, where more coalminers are developing black lung disease at younger ages. Continue reading...

Jamaican delegation defends legal route of petition to King Charles for slavery reparations

The service on Sunday marked the anniversary of the 1781 Zong massacre , when more than 100 enslaved Africans were thrown overboard so the ship’s owners could claim insurance for “lost cargo”.

US scientists turn to chickens to sound the alarm as West Nile cases rise

Chickens – which can test positive for viruses but cannot spread them – an ideal early warning system for mosquito-borne disease The start of West Nile virus transmission began unusually early in some US states, with the most cases in early summer since 2004, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned in July – so Delaware turned to chickens. “They kind of are the proverbial canary in the coal mine,” said Tom Moran, head of the mosquito control section at the Delaware department of natural resources and environmental control.

Registered sex offender was allowed to participate at South Carolina church for decades

The Brookwood Church in Simpsonville only just disqualified Jerry Sidell from serving there in any capacity A registered sex offender who was sentenced to prison in the 1980s after he told authorities that he had molested several boys whom he met through his religious work with Christian youth in Georgia was later allowed to participate for decades in ministry at a South Carolina church. The Brookwood church, a southern Baptist institution in the South Carolina city of Simpsonville, only just disqualified Jerry Sidell from serving there in any capacity, after he joined it in 1999 and fulfilled various ministerial roles.

Beyond the heatwave: what it really takes for climate warnings to cut through in the UK

As trust in institutions wavers, experts say local, collective action is more effective in driving change Wildfires, excess deaths, hosepipe bans, school closures: this summer many British people have experienced the often devastating effects of the climate crisis in ways they had not before. In that sense, policymakers and climate experts have a unique opportunity to engage with the public about what needs to happen to better prepare the country for the years ahead. But as trust in institutions wavers – and yellowed, drought-stricken grass begins to recover – can the messaging cut through? This week, reflecting on a summer as “hot as hell” , the UN’s head of climate, Simon Stiell, said: “Climate is sometimes seen as a partisan issue, as territory in the culture wars. That is palpably false.” Continue reading...
