1 week ago Tight security and political tension hang over key Norway v Israel World Cup qualifier

The hosts in Oslo are closing in on qualification but the politics surrounding their visitors’ presence casts a shadow over the footballIt will be the most high-security sports event in Norway since the Winter Olympics in 1994. Anti-terror measures are in place throughout Oslo; a no-fly zone will be implemented in the skies above Ullevi Stadion and through all the tension it could be easy to forget that the national team are within touching distance of a first World Cup appearance for 27 years. Beating Israel would put them on the verge but the visitors’ presence has added multiple layers of complexity and controversy.That will be clear on Saturday afternoon, when a crowd of several thousand is expected to march peacefully from the centre of Oslo to a stage set up near the ground. It has been organised by the Palestine Committee in Norway under the slogan “Red card for Israel” and other bodies will be holding their own protests too.

Talk about a big bang: under a galactic stage set, the designer Matthieu Blazy just blasted the world’s most famous fashion brand through the sound barrier and into the 21st century.Backstage after his debut, Blazy quoted what Coco Chanel once said when asked why she wore the same tweed jacket day after day. “She said, if I translate into English: ‘I don’t give a fuck. I like them worn.’” This is Blazy’s take on the house Coco founded: Chanel, with no fucks given. Continue reading...

2 w. ago A Tooth Fairy Tale review – animated adventure with a sprinkling of family

A child-suitable romantic subplot underpins this enjoyable story of fairies putting their long-standing differences with goblins aside to defeat a common enemyIn this animated adventure for preteens, the fairy community’s mission in life is to gather teeth from slumbering children and leave gold for the kids to find under their pillows. (Gold? In my day it was 10p! That’s inflation for you.) Skateboarding teenage rebel fairy Van (voiced by Booboo Stewart) is less than thrilled by the prospect of spending the foreseeable collecting baby teeth and, to be fair to him, this is entirely reasonable. He’s only a tiny bit more interested in the underlying economics of the situation: the fairies deliver the teeth to unseen goblins, who provide metal in exchange. But Van’s curiosity is piqued when he lays eyes on a goblin (voiced by Larkin Bell) and she turns out to be far from the hideous gnome he had been led to expect.The stage is set for an adventure with a light sprinkling of teen romanc...

You called for it, I’m going to do it, thank you for your campaigning.What an amazing result for our environment, our local communities, and the thousands of committed people and groups right across the country who’ve spent years fighting for fracking to be banned for good – including the many who signed 38 Degrees supporter Geoff’s recent petition. Not long ago, it felt like fracking might make a comeback, with Reform UK pushing to put it back on the agenda. But thousands of us stood up, demanded a permanent ban, and made our voices impossible to ignore. Continue reading...

3 w. ago The Broncos ended one dynasty but must beat the NRL’s benchmark to return to glory | Nick Tedeschi

While Melbourne Storm have a legacy like few others, Brisbane were once rugby league royalty too. The stage is set for a huge grand finalIn the long and storied history of top tier rugby league in Australia, perhaps the least recognised period of greatness is the Melbourne Storm’s two-decade run at the top of the heavily equalised competition.While Penrith’s history-making feats receive plenty of deserved attention, the sustained success of the Storm under Craig Bellamy is often taken for granted, so ingrained and expected has it become. Melbourne have not reached the same highs as Penrith’s four straight titles, and their smaller profile as a Victorian club has made it harder to get their credentials noticed, but there is no doubt the Storm is one of rugby league’s great dynasties, having consistently played in grand finals for two decades under the same man.
