4 h. ago Asad Rehman’s journey from antiracism campaigner in Burnley to head of Friends of the Earth

Climate crisis is ‘interconnected crisis of inequality’, says Rehman, who began organising at his school in the 1970s Each weekday morning, every child in the south Asian community in Burnley would gather before making the journey to school. It was the 1970s, the National Front were mobilising, and they were the children of south Asian workers invited to Britain a decade earlier to fill labour shortages.Among them was Asad Rehman, who had moved to the Lancashire town with his family from Pakistan at the age of four. “We would all walk together, because it was dangerous to walk alone,” he remembers. “Younger children in the middle, older children around the edge, because we’d be attacked on the way.” Continue reading...

Conservationist plans release of 15 each of the apex predators sourced as chicks into Chester and LondonFiring off rapid keck-keck-keck cries that rang out through a park in central Berlin, the goshawks soared high above the trees and circled before swooping down to chase off a ragtag bunch of crows that had begun to mob them from below.“It’s basically a flying Batman bringing law and order to the city,” said the conservationist Dr Paul O’Donoghue, peering through binoculars at two breeding pairs of the large pale-bellied birds as they dipped and dived through the sky. “They’re like stealth bombers.” Continue reading...

8 h. ago Disillusionomics: the US economy isn’t serving gen Z | Alice Lassman

My generation is struggling for stability in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose. It’s time to take that seriouslyFor gen Z Americans, it’s hard to remember a version of the economy not defined by crisis. We finished our education online as Covid devastated the world, only to graduate into high costs of living, stagnant wages and now AI’s threat to entry-level jobs. We’ve come of age in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose.The result is a generation that’s lost faith in the traditional markers of stability. What once defined a secure life – home, family and comfortable retirement – feels out of reach. “A pension is out of the question,” one friend told me. “So staying in the same job no longer makes sense.” She’s not alone: jobseekers’ confidence in keeping or finding work dropped sharply this spring, with a survey in June suggesting nearly 60% of graduates were still looking for their first jobs.Alice Lassman is a policy expert with a focus on the global economy ...
