3 d. ago LAFC’s Denis Bouanga is thriving with his new strike partner: ‘I feel so good with Sonny on the pitch’

Any questions about how the Gabon international would gel with Son Heung-min have been put to rest after a historic scoring runWhen Son Heung-min arrived at Los Angeles Football Club last month, there was a huge sense of excitement: here was South Korea’s most popular athlete and one of the best Asian footballers in history. In a city with the largest South Korean community in the United States, there was also a belief that – just as with Lionel Messi and Miami – the diaspora would create a strong bridge between club and city.But this was also about LAFC itself. Undoubtedly, there was much Son could offer to Steve Cherundolo and a squad that was already blessed with attacking talent, including Denis Bouanga, the 30-year-old France-born Gabon international. Just before Son’s debut for LAFC on 9 August against Chicago Fire, Bouanga – a three-time All-Star – had 13 goals in the league and had long served as the main goal threat for the club, who at the time were sixth in the Western Co...

8 d. ago Everyday heroes: the ready and reliable recipes I reach for all week long

In this week’s Feast newsletter: With summer giving way to autumn, these good-value, flexible and accommodating eats will make life that little bit easier – and no less delicious• Sign up here for our weekly food newsletter, FeastSome days ago, my sister asked me for a few week-in, week-out meal suggestions. We were talking on the phone as she made her way to work in London and I waited for a bus in Rome. As Rosie asked me the question, the bus numbers and estimated times on the electric indicator scrambled before going blank. Despite being a full-time food writer working on a book that involves the repeated testing of 120 recipes, I couldn’t, at that moment, think of a single helpful recipe. I started rambling about chicken thighs, at which my sister, wisely, ended the call with a breezy: “Well, if anything comes to mind, let me know.” A minute later, the indicator flashed back on and the 792 arrived.In late September, still limping into a routine after the summer and interminable ...

1 week ago The consensus is clear: it’s genocide. Now will international law die in Gaza too? | Raji Sourani

There is a UN convention for exactly this kind of horror: the convention for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. When will the world act on it?Raji Sourani is the coordinator of the Palestinian legal team at the international criminal court (ICC)Israel has committed and continues to commit genocide in Gaza. That is the conclusion of a UN commission report. Since the release of the report last week, Palestine has finally been recognised as an independent state by the UK and a number of other countries. In his announcement at the weekend, Keir Starmer called the death and destruction in Gaza “utterly intolerable”. This recognition comes too late and is still conditional, but has the UK government indeed now stopped tolerating Israel’s devastation of Gaza? Has anything changed for the people there who are being starved and bombed? Far from it.Even as the UN publishes the findings of its independent commission, and a flag is raised outside the Palestinian mission in ...

1 week ago I sought to protect an immigrant legal client. Instead, I’m facing Trump’s new sanctions

I appear to be the first attorney targeted in a scheme that calls on federal agencies to accuse lawyers of unethical conductOn Memorial Day weekend 2025, a woman frantically called to tell me her husband was being removed to Laos late that night, with only hours of notice. Though I’m a solo practitioner with limited resources, I took the case pro bono because my values drive me to help indigent clients. I was aware of the government’s catch-me-if-you-can scheme to move detainees around without notice to escape court oversight, but I felt prepared for the challenge because I’m also an independent legal scholar who published a practice guide to help lawyers navigate habeas corpus actions for immigrant clients.Though I secured an order from the northern district of Texas explicitly preventing my client’s removal from the United States, he was nevertheless put on an international flight around 1am on Memorial Day. After a restless night making calls and sending emails, I went on a hike ...
