65 m. ago Arsenal make it 10 wins in a row as they cruise past Slavia Prague with Merino double

Another game, another slew of records for Arsenal’s defensive machine. This time it was one that had stretched back more than 55 years, when Leeds became the last English team not to concede a goal in their opening four matches, in the 1969/70 European Cup campaign under Don Revie.Slavia Prague gave it their best shot and thought they had been awarded a late penalty, only for the video assistant referee to deny them. The Czech champions finally recorded a shot on target against David Raya in stoppage time, but Arsenal made it eight successive clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since they were in what was the Second Division, in 1903.

3 h. ago De Niro to JLaw: should celebrities be expected to speak out against Trump?

Trump’s second term has stars calling out the president – but others choose to remain silent, questioning whether it makes any differenceIf you were hoping Jennifer Lawrence might be able to tell you who to vote for and why, you’re in for some disappointment. “I don’t really know if I should,” the actor told the New York Times recently when asked about speaking up about the second Trump administration – and she’s not the only one. “I’ve always believed that I’m not here to tell people what to think,” Sydney Sweeney recently told GQ, after a year in which she was the subject of controversy over a jeans ad and a possible Republican voter registration. This marks a shift from Donald Trump’s first term, when more celebrities seemed not just comfortable speaking out against the administration, but obligated to do so. Now voters will no longer be able to so easily consult with Notes-app-made posts on Instagram to decide who and what they care about before they head to the polls. The era o...

4 h. ago Predator: Badlands review – a pointless but unkillable franchise that has started to eat itself

The toothy villain is humanised and made sympathetic in this disappointing horror sci-fi – at which point it ceases to be the Predator There is disappointment in store for those hoping the Terrence Malick classic Badlands had been rebooted as a horror sci-fi, with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek menaced by a great big space alien with a peculiar mouth. No: this is actually the umpteenth iteration of the Predator franchise, which has a roach-like unkillability itself, having started in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger facing an extraterrestrial creature rustling and snarling in the Central American jungle.Predator: Badlands is just about kept from flatlining by Elle Fanning’s effortless charm, though it shows what happens when the Predator in question must, in the service of narrative development, be humanised and made sympathetic and vulnerable and kinda nice? What happens is that it ceases to be the Predator, so something or someone else has inevitably to fill the Predator role. Conti...

At the Superhumans centre in Ukraine, the EnterDJ music therapy programme teaches war-wounded soldiers how to mix, rehabilitating them with dance music and providing purpose and opportunities to performIn Ukraine, sound carries a different weight: the cautionary blurt of sirens, Shahed drones humming overhead, the concussive thwack of air defence interception and the subsequent explosion. But as well as the sounds of war, which continue three and a half years into Russia’s full-scale invasion, music still plays, clubs remain open during the day (closing well before the midnight curfew), and electronic dance music remains an intrinsic part of many Ukrainian lives.Kyiv’s iconic clubs, such as K41, became bomb shelters before transforming into frontline fundraisers. Parties doubling up as cleanup operations are held at strike sites. New venues such as Abo Records – the first of many creative spaces to set up shop in an abandoned liquor factory – have emerged as gathering points where y...
