5 h. ago A moment that changed me: I gave up small talk for a month – and the world came alive

I was fed up with discussing the weather, so I started to ask unexpected questions. The conversations that resulted were revelatoryFor as long as I can remember, I have found small talk problematic. It was boring at best and stressful at worst. A colleague commenting on the weather, when I could see for myself that it was raining.

So why were these the conversations we were all having? Everyone else seemed at ease, while I felt on edge. Continue reading...

Tiptoeing around Israel has cost Europe its credibility. It must exert meaningful pressure to ensure the horrors we have seen never happen againThe first phase of Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza has drawn a collective sigh of relief from European leaders. After two years of slaughter, the ceasefire, the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, the Israeli military’s partial withdrawal from Gaza and humanitarian access to the territory offer hope – and unfortunately, an excuse for Europe to continue doing nothing.When it comes to the war in Gaza, unlike Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, European governments have shown their worst colours. They are divided, and their political splits have led to policy paralysis. But worse than sitting on the sidelines hand-wringing, European governments and EU institutions in Brussels can be accused of complicity in Israel’s war crimes. They have been unwilling to exert any pressure on the perpetrators, while continuing economic, political and...

When José Mourinho arrived on Tyneside and immediately ­showered Eddie Howe and his players with ­lavish praise, Newcastle fans feared the worst. Although such worries ultimately evaporated, it took a fine goal from Anthony Gordon and two more from the substitute Harvey Barnes to reassure St James’ Park that Benfica’s new(ish) manager would not be inflicting any pain on Howe’s team.If Mourinho’s side, and their ­Belgium winger Dodi Lukébako especially, should remain unbowed by their contribution to an ­initially intriguing, highly compelling ­Champions League duel, Benfica’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages appear almost in tatters.
