The former national rugby union captain has been spared jail for the domestic abuse of his estranged wife, Gill, after courts painted a grim picture of his off-pitch behaviourScotland has not always been blessed with rugby players of genuine world class but prime-time Stuart Hogg was a rare exception. At the height of his powers he was the Six Nations Player of the Year in successive seasons in 2016 and 2017, mixing acceleration and attacking intent with a just-try-and-stop-me attitude that set him apart from the average workaday pro.The talented lad from Hawick was a big fish in a series of smallish pools – the Borders, Scottish rugby, Exeter – and grew accustomed to being hailed as king of his local oval-ball castle. While, behind closed doors, not being entirely the man his many fans thought him to be. Continue reading...

With 2024 set to go down as the hottest year on record, we know that what is coming is truly horrifyingThe past 12 months have seen our world enter new territory. Last year will go down as the first time that the global average temperature exceeded 1.5C above preindustrial times over a calendar year. We could crash permanently through the 1.5C guardrail within the next five years, and shatter the 2C limit as soon as 2034. This will almost certainly result in the tipping points for collapse of the Greenland and west Antarctic ice sheets being crossed, committing us to the drowning of coastal towns and cities.In years to come, we will look back at this time and ask the same question that future generations will ask: why didn’t we stop this catastrophe?Bill McGuire is professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at UCL and author of Hothouse Earth: an Inhabitant’s GuideRoger Hallam is co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain and Just Stop Oil Continue reading...

He was the brilliant yet alarming writer of the Futurist Manifesto, a bohemian poet jailed with Mussolini who helped forge the modern world. As a new show re-examines his troubling legacy, we explore the Italian troublemaker’s extraordinary lifeFilippo Tommaso Marinetti was the Elon Musk of the early 20th century, combining a joy in technological innovation with an appetite for illiberal politics. Where Musk builds rockets, Marinetti celebrated those shiny new inventions, the aeroplane and the motor car. The Futurist Manifesto, which he wrote when the movement existed only in his head, begins with a rhapsodic account of a fast drive that ends in a crash, which delights him more than the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the famous Greek sculpture in the Louvre. Machines, he believes, make all previous art irrelevant.

7 hours ago London has a congestion charge – and traffic in gridlock. We need other ways to end the obsession with cars | Jonn Elledge

The charge was seen as draconian, but new thinking is now essential. Look to the cities trying a range of bold ideasThere was a moment, during the long, strange summer of 2020, when it felt like Covid might reshape London, as it seemed set to change so much else. The streets of the capital, so long given over to dangerous metal boxes spewing out fumes, felt open to human life once again. Main streets were closed to private traffic; and an abundance of new low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) and cycle lanes appeared. When the world reopened, the bars and restaurants of Soho began spilling out into the semi-pedestrianised streets.But this, as with so many of the changes wreaked by the pandemic, turned out to be a mirage. Westminster council removed traffic restrictions in Soho, while Kensington and Chelsea ripped out a brand new cycle lane. Low-traffic neighbourhoods, meanwhile, brought the English closer to civil war than Brexit ever managed. The car remained king after all.Jonn Elledg...
