PARIJS (ANP) - Jesper de Jong tennist zondagmiddag niet voor 15.30 uur op het Court Philippe-Chatrier tegen de Duitser Alexander Zverev voor een plek in de kwartfinales op Roland Garros. De partij tussen de nummers 106 en 3 van de wereld is de derde van de dag op de hoofdbaan van het tenniscomplex in Parijs, die een capaciteit heeft van 15.000 toeschouwers.

De Jong staat voor het eerst in de achtste finales van een grandslamtoernooi. Eigenlijk had de 25-jarige Haarlemmer zich niet gekwalificeerd voor het hoofdtoernooi, maar hij werd als 'lucky loser' alsnog toegelaten vanwege een blessuregeval. In de derde ronde verraste De Jong vrijdag de als dertiende geplaatste Rus Karen Chatsjanov.

Zverev is op Roland Garros als laatste overgebleven van de mondiale top 5. Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic en Ben Shelton werden al uitgeschakeld. Carlos Alcaraz meldde zich voor het toernooi af met een blessure.

Stew Peas focuses on obeah, an enduring African magic practice in Jamaica banned by colonisers in the 1700s

A new movie from award-winning Jamaican film-maker Sosiessia Nixon shines a spotlight on Jamaica’s enduring west African-based magic and spiritual healing tradition known as obeah.

Nixon’s tense, feature-length suspense, Stew Peas, tells of the story of Jamaican detective Tessa, who is obsessed with an old murder case.

At least six new pubs and taphouses have opened in recent months, including the Pig & Swill in Cardiff

On a hot Thursday evening in Canton, a buzzy Cardiff neighbourhood, a steady stream of people in sunglasses, shorts and dresses went back and forth between bar and garden at the city’s newest pub, the Pig & Swill.

Next door, in Victoria Park, the splash pad was still heaving with families making the most of the tail-end of the May heatwave. Many parents and carers stopped by for takeaway pints and small plates.

Guardian readers in the US spoke of fears about unregulated AI in response to the pope’s encyclical warning about the risks of the technology

In his first major papal text since assuming leadership of the Catholic church last year, Pope Leo issued a stark warning about the rise of artificial intelligence this week, denouncing the “culture of power” driving the AI age.

Calling for the “most rigorous” ethical constraints on AI – which he described as one of the greatest threats facing humanity today – the first US-born pope also warned of “new forms of slavery” emerging through the digital economy.

As Daniela Klette is jailed after three decades in hiding, it’s clear that good strategy, and principally democracy, beat the terror, bombs and guns

In 1972, the great German novelist Heinrich Böll described the campaign of violence launched by the Red Army Faction (RAF) since its foundation two years earlier as a war of “six against 60 million”. The writer was vilified for the phrase, accused of sympathy for bombers and murderers. But Böll had highlighted the most important factor in the eventual defeat of the group, of whom one of the last surviving alleged members, a 67-year-old called Daniela Klette, was sentenced last week to 13 years in prison for armed robberies.

At the time Böll was writing, the RAF’s bombings, abductions and shootings had brought about the most acute crisis of West German democracy since the second world war. Dozens were killed, more injured, wanted posters and police checkpoints went up all over the country, huge state resources were devoted to counter-terrorism. Sporty small BMW cars were so favoured by the group that they were dubbed Baader-Meinhof Wagen, a reference to the RAF’s most famous founder leaders, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof.

Mothers with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) explain how it has affected their relationship with their families

Laura Daly was six the first time she suspected something was wrong with her mum, Wendy. Furious at locking herself out of the house, Wendy reversed and rammed the car into their garage door once, twice, then three times, as Laura cowered silently in the back, her head flopping forwards with each smash. On the seventh smash, the garage door contorted just enough for Laura to squeeze under, get into the house and fetch the keys.

“It was like I was watching myself,” Wendy Barker, 56, says of this moment now. “Nothing would’ve stopped me.”

St Mary’s Stadium, Southampton
Elephants, clowns, aerialists hanging by their hair … the Big Top concept doesn’t let up at this hugely enjoyable outing for a boy band with hits to spare

Take That have never been shy when it comes to repackaging their past. In 2018, they followed two official best-of collections with Odyssey, a Stuart Price-produced curio in which they “re-imagined” their greatest hits. Around the same time, band captain Gary Barlow – now overseeing just two teammates, Mark Owen and Howard Donald – was brutally honest about the band’s standing as a legacy act more focused on ticket sales than streams. “Even if [the album is] a flop, we’re still going to go on tour next year and play to 600,000 people.”

Fast forward eight years and the band have sidestepped the studio time and are instead lightly “re-imagining” an entire old tour. And not just any tour. When it first played stadiums in summer 2009, Take That Presents The Circus became the fastest selling jaunt in UK history, making more than £40m in profit. Without an obvious anniversary peg, on paper this unusual reboot of a widely seen show (even the DVD release broke sales records) has the feel of profit-obsessed businessmen stuck in a creative cul-de-sac.

Centrepoint warns young people facing ‘huge scarcity of work opportunities’ after Alan Milburn’s report on crisis

The growing number of young people not in work or education is driving more into unstable housing or homelessness, charities have warned.

A government-commissioned review into the crisis facing young people in the UK said there could be a 25% rise in young people not in education, employment or training (Neet) to 1.25 million by the early 2030s without intervention.

De meest kabinetterige partij van de laatste decennia roept iedere verkiezing weer wat te gaan doen aan migratie, maar doet er niks aan. Dan is er een partij die al jaren roept er iets aan te gaan doen maar de kans er niet voor te krijgen, maar toen die partij er plots wél de kans voor kreeg er helemaal niks aan deed. Dan heb je nog partijen die überhaupt niks willen doen aan migratie, want hun bootje drijft mede / vooral op het halen van maar meer meer meer asielzoekers naar Nederland. En dan heb je ook nog een partij die zégt strenger te worden op migratie door maatregelen onverkort door te voeren, maar dat was dan buiten een boel Zwarte Kip-drinkers en Tena Ladies van de eigen partij gerekend. En zo bevinden we ons al ja-ren in een patstelling waarin iedereen van rechts tot links alleen maar wat roept. Als die laffe politici zo hard falen dat het lijkt of de hele democratie faalt, zit er nog maar één ding op: het probleem afschuiven op de burger. En dus komt er een Burgerberaad Migratie, met daarin 150 door loting geselecteerde burgers, die voorstellen kunnen doen aan de politiek. We kunnen ze ook gewoon helemaal omwisselen, die ene 150 met die andere 150. Heeft het Burgerberaad meteen een mooie vergaderruimte, en dan noemen we ze gewoon de Derde Kamer, want een Kamertje meer of minder maakt ook geen fuk meer uit. Hopelijk wordt het Burgerberaad Migratie net zo'n groot unaniem ongelooflijk succes als het Burgerberaad Klimaat!

Country life, Mowing the grass
田舎暮らし・草刈り

These are the grass-cutting tools I've been using since this year. The Makita ground trimmer is surprisingly useful and has been helpful for maintaining the embankment.

今年から活用している草刈り道具です。マキタのグランドトリマーは案外使えて堤防の整備に役立ってます。
