5 h. ago ‘Boultercanu’ serve doubles delight as women’s tennis returns to Queen’s

Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter’s infectious chemistry sparked a day of both jubilation and frustration at Queen’sMoments before Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter walked on to court one to add a touch of pizzazz to a historic day at Queen’s Club, a lady carrying an empty Pimm’s jug went to go for a refill. “I’m sorry but if you leave, we won’t be able to let you straight back in,” she was told by a steward. “You will have to queue.”The woman thought for a moment, looked at the packed stands, and returned to her seat. It turned out to be a wise decision. And not just because the queue to see the British pair – or “Boultercanu” as the press had already anointed them – was snaking halfway around Queen’s Club.

6 h. ago The Guardian view on Labour’s tough choices: they are costing the government dearly | Editorial

Austerity-era scepticism runs deep – and Labour’s abstract promises are falling flat as Nigel Farage rises in the pollsThe Labour government’s abrupt U-turn on winter fuel payments – restoring the benefit to more than three-quarters of pensioners – reveals less a change of heart than a sobering realisation in Westminster: after years of austerity, the public no longer gives politicians the benefit of the doubt. The irony is hard to miss. Labour set out to prove that “grown-up” economics means difficult decisions – only to find that once trust is lost, voters won’t accept vague promises without tangible results.It turns out many are sceptical that sacrifices will produce better results for society. That’s why ministers are struggling to justify cuts to disability benefits as a way to “fund” public services – or to convince the public that Britain can’t afford to lift the two-child benefit cap even as ministers claim they will reduce child poverty. There may be more conspicuous retrea...

6 h. ago The Guardian view on fitness: evidence of the benefits of exercise keeps growing, but who is listening? | Editorial

Physical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle – ministers should grab the chance to shape the culture surrounding itThe role of exercise in promoting good general health, and helping to prevent heart disease, strokes and diabetes is well established. No wonder, then, that long‑distance running keeps growing in popularity. Popular tracks and parks have never been busier, with groups in stretchy Lycra and fitness trackers on their wrists. The internet is awash with exercise videos, while figures earlier this year showed that gym memberships have climbed to a record 11.5m. The 16.9% of people aged 16 or over in Britain who belong to a gym is one of the highest proportions in Europe.The older teenagers and young adults of generation Z are a key demographic behind this social trend. And recent news from the world’s biggest cancer conference, in Chicago, shows how right they are to take the health benefits of fitness seriously. A landmark trial compared the outcomes of p...

6 h. ago Trump has unleashed something terrifying in the US – that even he may be powerless to control | Gaby Hinsliff

The protests in LA are what everyone feared, and a warning to countries that flirt with populismShe was live on air to viewers back home, her TV microphone clearly in hand, when the rubber bullet hit her. The Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi was the second journalist after the British photographer Nick Stern to be shot with non-lethal rounds while covering protests in Los Angeles sparked by immigration raids. But she was the first to be caught on camera and beamed around the world. There’s no excuse for not knowing what the US is becoming, now that anyone can watch that clip online. Not when you can hear her scream and see the cameraman quickly swing away to film a panicking crowd.It was the scenario everyone feared when Donald Trump took office. Deportation hit squads descending on the kind of Democrat-voting communities who would feel morally bound to resist them, triggering the kind of violent confrontation that creates an excuse to send in national guard troops – and ultimately...
