AI and opera make strange bedfellows
Artificial intelligence and opera – strange bedfellows, no? One’s mascot is the tech bro, moving fast and breaking things; the other conjures the diva, the bastion of art-for-art’s-sake thinking. Although the operatic stage is perhaps not the obvious choice for exploring AI and the creative industries, it’s the subject of the Royal Opera House’s inaugural RBO/Shift festival, which is happening this week. A programme of events and performances, Shift features experimental artists and thinkers at...
Steven Spielberg goes home
Steven Spielberg came to prominence in the early-to-mid 1970s – his mid-to-late twenties – with a trio of films that combined humour and suspense to tell stories about a struggle for survival. Each involved a chase, and each was more ambitious than its predecessor, moving from bare-bones to blockbuster but without ever forgetting the virtues of restraint. Duel, made for TV but released in cinemas, portrays a face-off between two men, a travelling salesman and the truck driver on his tail. In The...

Iran war: ordinary Israelis and Lebanese remain trapped by the false promises of their leaders
When the United States and Israel began their conflict against Iran, the Islamic Republic retaliated – as it has done in the past – by launching missile strikes against Israel as well as US military basis in the region. In addition, Iran targeted military and civilian locations across several Arab Gulf states. Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, drew the country into the war on March 2 by responding to the US-Israeli attack on Iran with widespread rocket attacks on northern Israel. In turn, Is...
GOP leverages ICE funding package to make Trump's controversial $2B fund 'never exist'
Senate Republicans may need more convincing from the Trump administration that the "anti-weaponization" fund is officially dead, even after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spelled out its doom on Tuesday. Many Republicans demanded that the administration make it crystal clear that not only was the nearly $2 billion fund done, but that it would never come back. And at stake is a multibillion package to fund immigration enforcement operations. During a closed-door meeting Tuesday, Senate Repu...
Rep. Ken Calvert advances in the Congressional CA-40 primary, CBS News projects
Calvert, who currently represents California's 41st Congressional District, announced his campaign shortly after California voters passed Proposition 50, which shifted five districts to be more favorable to Democrats in the midterm elections this year.
Todd Blanche defends the DOJ's apparently defunct "anti-weaponization" fund
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday that the Justice Department was no longer moving forward with its "anti-weaponization" fund, but he defended its creation. CBS News' Aaron Navarro has more.
Trump Suggests Vance and Rubio Should Run Together in 2028 Election
President Trump said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio should split a ticket, without mentioning who should be at the top.
Trump makes America’s 250th birthday all about himself
In 1864, a US Treasury bureaucrat called Spencer M Clark, who had a fluffy white beard and worked in the printing department, decided to pull a prank on the government, and put his own face on the five-cent note. Congress was outraged, and a law was passed to prevent anyone still living from featuring on one of the nation’s most recognisable objects. It was thought unbecoming for a republic to lionise anyone who was still alive to enjoy the honour – especially given the US’s history with an empi...

EU again? Rejoiners trek to Brussels in search of redemption
The Ramblers were running late. A man in cycling shorts and a blue beret covered with yellow stars came running up the hill. His name was Chris and he was a former Duke of Edinburgh instructor, but, he told me, the team had ignored his directions and gone the wrong way. “Theoretically,” he said, “they should be over there.” He pointed to an empty cornfield. It was easy to get lost. The group had been walking for five days straight, beginning in Westminster, through Dartford, Rochester, Faversha...

What do Makerfield voters really think?
It has been four weeks since the local elections that sent the Labour Party into an existential spiral, and there are two weeks to go before the by-election that could change the course of British politics. Andy Burnham has gambled everything on making a run for Westminster, hoping the personal brand he has built over nine years as mayor of Greater Manchester will help him defy his party’s unpopularity. Reform, which should do well in this constituency that voted Leave by 65 per cent in 2016, is...
In Makerfield, voters on both sides are united by despair
It seems increasingly popular to decry polarisation among the British electorate. We are told that the rise of populist parties on the left and right means that voters are being pulled further apart from each other than ever before, and this in turn makes it impossible for any politician to govern. What we saw on the ground in Makerfield looked a little different. We conducted focus groups with voters on both sides of the electoral battle shaping up between Reform and Labour in the north-west co...
The British aristocracy has never been so wretched
Our propensity to be seduced by the grandeur of country houses and noble families is rarely impeded by our politics. New Statesman writers have bravely confessed in these pages to weeping at Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, despite it being shameless Tory propaganda, or enjoying Brideshead, Saltburn, Bridgerton – all having the same alarming effect on audiences who should know better. Savage House – an addition to the genre – is not quite so easy to swoon over. It misunderstands the whole deal...

The unbearable lightening of Brexit
“Brecks-it”, or “Breggs-it”? Even before all those “Brexit means breakfast” foul-ups on the broadcast round, it’s fitting that we never even settled how to mouth the damned neologism. Much as economic historians would like to centre the financial crash as modern Britain’s Genesis story, 23 June 2016 is simply the unmatched year zero of our national crisis – or at least our national hysteria. This isn’t purely a question of theatrics – though the victory of Vote Leave is a perfect underdog story....

DAVID MARCUS: The age of the Democratic Party blocking fringe outsiders is officially over
There were two events on Tuesday that offered more proof of a national Democratic Party establishment that has lost control: One was a meeting, one an election, and both are harbingers of real danger on the American left.The meeting took place in Washington, D.C., between presumptive Maine Democratic Senate nominee, the Nazi tattoed, serial sexter Graham Platner and members of his party in that body.Some, mostly through wishcasting, thought this would be the end of the alleged oysters farmer’s r...
