‘Maha’ promised to tackle ultra-processed foods – but is it hijacking the food movement instead?Over the space of the last year, Robert F Kennedy Jr. has made the term “ultra-processed foods” something of a household phrase.Once a term only used by nutritionists and food policy researchers to describe the most processed foods in the supply chain (think: chips and sodas, packaged bread, microwave dinners and even some yogurts), ultra-processing has become a calling card of the “Make America Healthy Again” (“Maha”) movement.

62 m. ago Watch the Skies review – see the lips move in alien abduction sci

This nicely put together Swedish UFO throwback is notable for its early use of ‘vlubbing’ – using tech to match lip movements to new English dialogue. What’s coming next?Here is a derivative but nicely put together sci-fi throwback, in which Inez Dahl Torhaug stars as Denise, a rebellious teenager in foster care whose father went missing in 1988. A dedicated ufologist for whom the truth was very much out there, Denise’s dad was trying to find aliens when he vanished. Alien abduction? Government cover up? Regular old disappeared-guy? When his old car falls from the sky into a local barn eight years later, Denise joins forces with her father’s friends at UFO-Sweden, including the likably nervous Lennart (Jesper Barkselius) plus assorted misfits, to investigate what leads they have, including the potential role of a shady-seeming organisation, the SMHI, AKA The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.You may gather from the names above that this is a Swedish film, and yet the...

2 h. ago Football transfer rumours: Spurs, Newcastle and Napoli to tussle over Jack Grealish?

Today’s fluff is moving slowly and breaking thingsAt last, the Mill can report action on the Jack Grealish front. The winger, left twiddling his thumbs at home while his Manchester City teammates fried at the Copa Gianni, is now attracting serious interest from Tottenham, Newcastle and Napoli after City slapped a cut-price £40m yellow sticker on a player who cost them two-and-a-half times that three years ago. The Sun reports that Grealish’s £300,000 weekly wage could prove a sticking point but the interest in him is real, nor is a move back to Aston Villa ruled out.It feel as if Hugo Ekitike has been closing in on a Premier League move all summer, and Liverpool’s interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt forward – who has been strongly linked with Manchester United – is now being talked up. The English champions are reported to have been in dialogue with Eintracht since April but have already splurged heavily on strikers in this window.

3 h. ago Life Cycle of a Moth by Rowe Irvin review – captivating story of maternal love and male violence

A daughter is brought up isolated from the world in this tender debut novel from an exciting talentIn the woodland, beyond the fence, inside the old forester’s hut, Maya and Daughter live in a world of rituals. The fence is secured with “Keep-Safes” – fingernails, Daughter’s first teeth, the umbilical cord that once joined them – to protect them from intruders. While their days are filled with chores, setting traps for rabbits and gathering firewood, every night they play a game they call “This-and-That”, in which they take it in turns to choose an activity – hair-brushing, dancing, copying – before saying their “sorrys and thank yous” in the bed they share.From the beginning of British author Rowe Irvin’s captivating debut novel, it is clear that Maya has created this life for herself and her daughter – who calls her mother “Myma” – as a refuge from the brutality of the world beyond the fence’s perimeter. Irvin’s tale switches between two narrative strands: present-day chapters nar...

3 h. ago England wildcard Michelle Agyemang in a hurry to make Euro 25 impact

Teenage forward scored on her debut for the Lionesses and is ready to make the difference in vital Netherlands game“It’s easy to look at the time and think there’s not enough left,” says England wildcard Michelle Agyemang. “That’s the beauty of the game. It only takes 10 seconds to make an impact. Any time is good enough for me so I’m grateful for that opportunity.” The 19-year-old forward is true to her word – it took her only 41 seconds to score on her England debut, reducing the deficit against Belgium from 3-1 to 3-2 in April. On Saturday, she was given four minutes of normal time against France to make a difference. She made an impact but, despite a battling final 10 minutes, the Lionesses couldn’t salvage a point.“There’s fire in the belly,” says Agyemang of the mood in camp since that opening-game defeat put their European title defence in jeopardy. “You can see that everyone’s willing to go and get the result that we need in the next game. It’s been the same goal from day on...
