Exclusive: British sportswear firm is seeking to obtain rights to The Conditioning Club, which is also the name of a Gloucestershire gym

Gymshark, the £1bn British sportswear firm started in a family garage, is locked in a trademark battle that threatens the future of a small fitness business.

Ben Francis, the university dropout who started sewing his own gym clothes in his parents’ garage and is now estimated to be worth £800m, is trying to add The Conditioning Club to his Gymshark stable of trademarks.

Lana Nusseibeh appears to have the support of Russia and the US, but her role glossing the horror in Sudan makes her unsuitable – and we should say so

Since the devastating war in Sudan began in 2023, some of the best investigative work uncovering those responsible has been carried out by the UN panel of experts. Its reports have revealed clear evidence that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been funnelling weapons and providing mercenaries to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a Sudanese paramilitary group that has been accused of genocide.

It is these reports, produced by UN-funded investigators, that the UN secretary general, António Guterres, cites whenever he speaks about Sudan.

After a childhood of grief, hardship and hunger, the Guardian food writer’s father Raj always resisted going back to Uganda. What happened when he finally agreed to accompany her on a bittersweet journey into the past?

The moment I step off the plane and on to the soil of Entebbe it hits me. Uganda is in my blood. This country that had once existed only in my imagination is finally real. The heat is heavy, the earth bright and rich like dark terracotta. I want to capture this moment – me with my 75-year-old dad, back where he was born. A place he never imagined he would return to. I whoop and reach for my camera, turn it towards my father’s face.

“You’re back!” I say.

You feel overlooked, but your parents’ disappointing behaviour does not necessarily mean they don’t love you

I turned 40 a few years ago. For my 21st and 30th birthdays I got jewellery from my parents, so when they didn’t ask what I wanted, I assumed they would follow this tradition. But I got nothing. Not even an apology. It later transpired that they thought I was turning 41. But even then to receive nothing is hurtful. They blamed it on old age and said they had been struggling with their health.

I place a lot of importance on gift giving. It isn’t about the value, but it’s nice to feel someone has spent time thinking about you. To get nothing just screamed that they didn’t care.

Ever-open, eminently relatable, sensibly priced spots of this sort will always have an audience

A London chophouse has taken up residence on St Philip’s Place, Birmingham, on the edge of Cathedral Square, or “Pigeon Park”, as the locals call it. This particular nook of Brum city centre is a magnet to those feathered blighters, although Blacklock’s smoulderingly macho menu is ironically pigeon-meat free, revolving instead around heaps of chops and steaks cooked over charcoal. There’s porterhouse, bone-in sirloin, lamb rump and pig’s head on toast.

Launched in London in 2015, Blacklock was the elegant, edgy, no-nonsense dining experience for groovy young things who quite literally wanted meat and two veg, so long as said veg was dripping-fat chips; it now has five sites in the capital and another in Manchester. “We just ended up at Blacklock,” people used to tell me half a dozen times a week, then go on to rave about the bread, the gravy and the ash-baked sweet potatoes, and revel in the glorious simplicity of it all. Modern life was complex, Blacklock was not, but neither was it cheap enough to feel like a jaunt down the Toby Carvery. And now its big flavours and broad appeal have hit the UK’s second city.

Jensen Huang’s affair with a suspected spy is Silicon Valley’s worst nightmare come true

The resignation this week of Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang is one of the most astonishing corporate scandals in memory, featuring allegations of international espionage and extramarital affairs involving one of the world’s most powerful men. As investigations mount into what went wrong at the $4tn chip company, the saga may also become a milestone in the decades-long history of spies infiltrating the US tech industry.

Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife of 41 years in a letter to employees this past weekend, following a report from the New York Times that the tech mogul had a close relationship with a woman US officials suspect of spying for China’s government. Huang resigned on Thursday after 33 years as CEO amid reports of two additional affairs with Nvidia employees, causing the world’s most valuable chip company’s stock to plummet.
