2 w. ago The most shocking thing about beauty products for kids? Where the demand is coming from | Morwenna Ferrier

A new brand flogging face masks for four-year-olds is disturbing, but it’s worth asking why children are asking for these products in the first placeAs a newish mother, I am only too aware of the myriad ways we have failed our children. And then I came across a new skincare company aimed at four-year-olds. It’s early days for Rini, whose sole product is now a Korean-made hydrating facial mask. A healing ointment and daily barrier cream are allegedly in the works, too. If you were under any illusions as to the mask’s purpose, it is infused with vitamin B12 – which, according to various skincare sites, improves elasticity and skin texture – with a clear peel-on application process modelled online, Patrick Bateman-style, by a preschooler.On the one hand, I appreciate that children put all sorts on their faces – face paint, stickers, poo, toothpaste, kitchen cleaner, a sibling’s blood, and that’s just in this last week alone – and that their faces will occasionally need to be cleaned.

2 w. ago ‘We start them early’: the small Swedish club that produced Gyökeres, Bergvall and Kulusevski

Brommapojkarna will have a close eye on Arsenal’s clash with Spurs as their talent factory continues to thrive“We’re building Swedish youth.” The sign adorning the main stand at Brommapojkarna is simple, authoritative and accurate. Beneath it, in the lashing rain, the men’s side are training. But while their top-tier status is important, that is far from the primary focus.Twenty-four hours before the men’s game, BP’s 5,000-capacity Grimsta IP stadium hosted a celebration of the under-19s, who secured a first national title since 2008. Youth development is at the heart of the club and on Sunday the fruits of Vällingby, a suburb in west Stockholm, will be consumed 1,100 miles away in north London. Continue reading...

4 w. ago A leaked IDF video showing alleged detainee abuse has Israel reeling, but not in the way you might think | Roy Schwartz

The outrage has been all about who leaked the footage and who is hurting Israel’s image, not what actually happened at the Sde Teiman detention camp“I would never, ever publish a video that makes IDF soldiers look bad, even when they did something wrong, out of the understanding that it could tarnish our image in the eyes of the entire world.”These are not the words of the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) chief. They were not even written by a member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Shockingly, they came from a journalist, Amichai Attali, a political correspondent for one of Israel’s most popular newspapers.Roy Schwartz is a senior editor and op-ed contributor at HaaretzDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
