Bij de lokale supermarkt ben ik op zoek naar talkpoeder, maar bij navraag blijkt dat ze dat niet meer verkopen. Als alternatief hebben ze wel babypoeder.

De uitdagingen van een veranderend klimaat zijn niet alleen ecologisch, maar raken aan morele vragen over hoe (on)eerlijk de wereld lasten en middelen verdeelt. Geld speelt daarbij een belangrijke rol.

Op het stadscircuit van Montreal ontvouwde zich zondag een wielerkoers die in alles reclame voor de sport was. Met dank aan Mathieu van der Poel, die op meer dan 86 kilometer van de finish begon met aanvallen maar uiteindelijk, achter de nieuwe wereldkampioen Brandon McNulty, genoegen moest nemen met brons.

The NYTimes conducts a broad interview with Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, talking about sovereignty, shifting relationships with China, Europe, and the United States, independence from American tech, AI, and immigration.

Ancient sheep virus found hiding in medieval parchment.

In a study published in Science Advances, researchers pin the virus' emergence to about 5000 years ago, roughly the same time people started to intensively shear sheep for wool. "I was so jealous when I saw this paper," says Floris Breman, an evolutionary biologist at the Belgian national health agency Sciensano, because he wished he could have made the discovery. "It's very important because it shows us how viruses arrive in a population." The peek into the pathogen's past came from an unusual source: dozens of medieval books and legal documents written on parchment, which is made from specially treated animal skins. "It turns out parchment is an extremely good preserver of this type of biological data," says University of Leicester historian Joanna Story, a co-author of the new study.

WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft bevestigd dat hij zondagavond dineert met Dario Amodei, de topman van AI-bedrijf Anthropic. Amodei is één van de prominenten uit de AI-wereld die oproepen de ontwikkeling van kunstmatige intelligentie te vertragen.

Trump is het daar niet mee eens en herhaalde dat standpunt zondagavond. Hoewel hij de zorgen rond AI erkende, is het volgens Trump belangrijker voor de Verenigde Staten om een technologische voorsprong op China te behouden. "We liggen misschien anderhalf jaar voor op China", zei Trump tegen Fox News tijdens een golftoernooi. "We lopen voorop en we bouwen enorme projecten ter waarde van biljoenen dollars. Waarom zouden we dat opgeven?"

Amodei riep eerder deze maand de AI-industrie op het tempo waarin de capaciteiten van AI-modellen worden uitgebreid bewust te matigen. Hij kreeg bijstand van onder anderen Bill Gates, Elon Musk en OpenAI-topman Sam Altman.

Slinger Francisco, known on stage as the Mighty Sparrow and dubbed the “calypso king of the world”, has died aged 91.

Francisco, who got his breakthrough in calypso music with his 1956 hit song Jean and Dinah, died peacefully surrounded by his family in New York on Sunday, his family said in a statement.

Menier Chocolate Factory
Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s 85-minute monologue and Paul Farnsworth’s immersive set deserve better than a Broadway museum piece text on the Breakfast At Tiffany’s author

Truman Capote’s core creative life was brief, peaking between the jolly novella Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1958) and the genre-influential “nonfiction-novel” In Cold Blood (1965).

Blocked by drugs and drink, he spent two decades not writing a soi-disant masterpiece, Answered Prayers, although magazine publication of early chapters led to ostracisation by socialites who found the novel not nonfiction enough.

Polling for rights group shows issue is concern for voters and many feel recent policies have had negative effect

Free speech will be a big concern for voters at the next general election, with the government’s current approach on the issue perceived by many to be bad for Britain, polling suggests.

Three in five people said a political party’s position on free speech would affect how they voted at a general election. The human rights organisation Liberty, which commissioned the polling from More in Common, claimed the results showed that Labour’s failure to protect free speech could cost it votes.

British Museum, London
The staggering resourcefulness and fantastic originality of bygone artisans is showcased in earthenware so exquisite it will soothe your soul. But a lurch into the modern breaks the spell

Can they do it again? The runaway success of the Bayeux tapestry has put the British Museum in a league of its own, perhaps making it, at this moment, the leading museum on earth – and it’s rapidly following up with Korea, a survey of “2,000 years of creativity” in a land that, before its sufferings in the 20th century, enjoyed millennia of calm, at least to judge from its art. But it’s a blockbuster with a tragic flaw, a lovely broken vase badly stuck together.

You are lured at first into a nirvana of beauty. A giant bronze bell from a Buddhist monastery, cast in the eighth century AD and bulging with dragons, flames and flowery embossments, strikes the tone. It calls you to meditation. A gong adds to the harmony (and if you need that underlining, there are bells and gongs on the now obligatory exhibition soundtrack). I was held rapt by this Buddhist period in Korea’s history, when the contemplative religion from India interacted with the artistic influence of China to inspire ecstatic hand-copied sutras (spiritual scriptures) and slender little statuettes of bodhisattvas (Buddhist saints who have achieved enlightened holiness).
