The moment Maybelle Blair took a decision a one she didnat know she was about to take a she says she afelt like all the blood rushed away from my head, down to my toes. I didnat know what was happeninga. Blair, the former baseball player in the postwar womenas league which inspired the 1992 film A League of Their Own, was on stage at the 2022 Tribeca film festival in New York, since she had been involved in Amazonas TV adaptation. She looked around and wondered why she was still hiding. Although her sexuality had not been a secret among her teammates, she decided there and then to publicly come out at the age of 95.
aOut of the clear blue sky, I just blurted out aI want everybody to knowa,a she says. aI was in the closet for 95 years. That old door blew open. I was sitting there, my eyes wide open, mouth open probably. I thought, aOh my God, after 95 years, you said that?a And I did.

People have long drawn comparisons between ant societies and human ones a but in fact they are a reminder of how limited our influence on the world really is
It is a familiar story: a small group of animals living in a wooded grassland begin, against all odds, to populate Earth. At first, they occupy a specific ecological place in the landscape, kept in check by other species. Then something changes. The animals find a way to travel to new places. They learn to cope with unpredictability. They adapt to new kinds of food and shelter. They are clever. And they are aggressive.
In the new places, the old limits are missing. As their population grows and their reach expands, the animals lay claim to more territories, reshaping the relationships in each new landscape by eliminating some species and nurturing others. Over time, they create the largest animal societies, in terms of numbers of individuals, that the planet has ever known. And at the borders of those societies, they fight the most destructive within-species conflicts, in terms of individual fatalities, that the planet has ever known.

When people ask me where Iam from, I wryly tell them athe middle of nowherea. So, imagine my surprise when I saw that my old landlord and the remote place where I grew up were making national headlines over a court battle for the right to wild camp on Dartmoor.
Alexander Darwall bought the 1,619-hectare (4,000-acre) Blachford estate on southern Dartmoor in 2011. Dartmoor is the only place in England where wild camping is allowed, in designated areas, without permission from a landowner. Darwall successfully contested this right in court, arguing that the right to wild camp a as opposed to walking or picnicking a on the moors never existed. Then an appeal restored it.

Captain Heather Knight paved the way for England Women to win the opening T20 international against New Zealand by 27 runs. Knight hit 63 from 39 balls as England reached 160 for four in Dunedin before bowling two tight overs as the visiting attack put the brakes on New Zealandas reply.
Tammy Beaumont, playing her 100th T20 international, fell for 15 before Sophia Dunkley and Maia Bouchier laid a solid platform. Once Dunkley was caught behind for 32, Knightas arrival upped the scoring rate as she and Bouchier added 91 for the third wicket. Knight was eventually stumped eight balls from the end off Jess Kerr, Bouchier remaining unbeaten on 43 from 40 deliveries.

Hundreds of young Indian and Nepali men are ending up on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. Their families want answers. Hannah Ellis-Petersen reports from Delhi
Hemul Mangakia grew up in Surat, a city in the Indian state of Gujarat. At 23 he was looking for opportunities and a way to make his mark on the world. So when he came across a video on YouTube posted by a recruitment agent in St Petersburg, Russia, he was intrigued. The man on the video said there were openings for security guards in the historic city. The pay was up to APS2,000 per month. The chance was too good to miss.
As Hannah Ellis-Petersen, the Guardianas south Asia correspondent, tells Michael Safi, this is a scene that has played out hundreds, maybe thousands of times in recent months. The young men, mainly from India and Nepal, fly to Russia on the promise of lucrative work and are then pressured into signing a different kind of contract: one that enlists them in the Russian military and pushes them to the frontline of the war in Ukraine, where many are now dying. Hemul Mangakiaas body was returned to India last week.

Circle in the Square Theater, New York
The Succession star delivers a bravura central turn in a rousing adaptation of a story that carries a discomforting contemporary relevance
For most people, the draw of An Enemy of the People, Sam Gold and Amy Herzogas Broadway adaptation of the Henrik Ibsen play, is not so much the chance to see a lesser-known work by the Norwegian dramatist updated for the present so much as the chance to see Jeremy Strong. The ex-Kendall Roy is shedding his suffusive, serious image as Successionas ex-No 1 boy a or, more accurately, drowning it, as promotional materials show him submerged in a tub a via the stage, in a serious, provocative morality play bound in the decorum of the distant past.
Still, there are flashes of HBOas political drama du jour in this 19th-century tale of competing agendas. Strong again plays a lone wolf in a tense sibling rivalry on a doomed crusade, albeit with more ethics as Thomas Stockmann, a provincial doctor in a small Norwegian town who discovers dangerous microbes in its water system. He suspects the bacteria, which require advanced (for the time) scientific instruments to detect, are the product of toxic run-off from new industrial tanneries, owned in part by his father-in-law (David Patrick Kelly); the near-certain likelihood of toxic infection a or, even worse, bad PR a imperils the townas salubrious spas and thus its local economy, both overseen by his brother Peter (an imposing Michael Imperioli), the mayor.

Russian president tells Red Square crowd Crimea is apride of Russiaa on 10th anniversary of annexation. What we know on day 755
President Vladimir Putin hailed the areturna to Russia of annexed Ukrainian territories, after winning an election slammed as illegitimate by western powers. aHand in hand, we will move forwards and this will make us stronger a| Long live Russia!a Putin told a crowd at a Red Square pop concert to mark 10 years since Russiaas annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
Putin told the crowd that Crimea was the apride of Russiaa and that the Black Sea peninsula had acome back to its native harboura when Moscow annexed the region. aThrough decades, they carried faith in their fatherland. They never separated themselves from Russia and thatas what allowed Crimea to return to our common family,a he said.
A senior Ukrainian official said Putinas idea of creating a buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory was a clear indication that Moscow planned to escalate the war. Putin raised the possibility of setting up a buffer zone during a speech after winning re-election on Sunday, a move the Kremlin said would be the only way to protect Russia from Ukrainian attacks. aThis is a| a direct manifest statement that the war will only escalate,a presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was acritically importanta for the US to provide additional military aid to Ukraine, during a meeting with US Republican senator Lindsey Graham on Monday. aThe sustained support of Ukraine by international partners, especially the United States, is now more important than ever for the implementation of plans to de-occupy our territories and protect our people,a he said.
Graham said he was confident an aid package stalled by Republican opposition in the US Congress would soon be approved, but called for aid to take the form of a low-interest, waivable loan. He and other Republicans have backed the notion of loans rather than grants for US allies to make the expenditure more sustainable and popular, a plan espoused by former president Donald Trump, the likely Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Turkeyas President Recep Tayyip ErdoAan on Monday congratulated Putin on his re-election and offered to mediate between Moscow and Ukraine, the Turkish presidency announced. Turkeyas top diplomat, Hakan Fidan, also hit out at adangerousa rhetoric coming from both Europe and Moscow. aThis war must end,a Fidan said in an interview with CNN Turk aired Monday evening. aOn both sides, tens of thousands of mothers are burying their children and itas continuing. Both sides have only too much to lose and nothing to gain,a he said.
EU foreign ministers strongly support taking the revenues from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said. aI am not saying there was unanimity but [there was] a strong consensus to take this decision,a Borrell told reporters on Monday after a meeting with the ministers held in Brussels.
The Council of the European Union ratified an agreement to increase the EUas support for the Ukrainian military by 5bn euros ($5.44bn) through a dedicated assistance fund. The EU said the money would fund training and both lethal and non-lethal military gear.
Ukrainian shelling killed four people near Russiaas border city of Belgorod on Monday, bringing the total number of dead in the region since last week to 15, authorities said. aFour people were killed in the village of Nikolskoye as a result of a direct shell hit on a private residential house,a governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Ukrainian officials said Monday that Russia had launched missiles on border regions where it has intensified attacks in recent days. Overnight, Russia launched five missiles on the north-eastern Kharkiv border region and also targeted the neighbouring Sumy border region with two missiles, the Ukrainian air force said. Russia also launched 22 drones on Ukraine overnight, 17 of which were shot down in various regions, the air force said.

It took a matter of minutes in the court of appeal, where demonstrators were strangely absent, for the dial to shift once more on the rights of protest in England and Wales.
The decision taken on Monday by the court of appeal to, in effect, find in favour of the attorney general, the Conservative governmentas premier legal officer, has removed a defence for climate protesters that had been available on the statute books since 1971.

The moment Maybelle Blair took a decision a one she didnat know she was about to take a she says she afelt like all the blood rushed away from my head, down to my toes. I didnat know what was happeninga. Blair, the former baseball player in the postwar womenas league which inspired the 1992 film A League of Their Own, was on stage at the 2022 Tribeca film festival in New York, since she had been involved in Amazonas TV adaptation. She looked around and wondered why she was still hiding. Although her sexuality had not been a secret among her teammates, she decided there and then to publicly come out at the age of 95.
aOut of the clear blue sky, I just blurted out aI want everybody to knowa,a she says. aI was in the closet for 95 years. That old door blew open. I was sitting there, my eyes wide open, mouth open probably. I thought, aOh my God, after 95 years, you said that?a And I did.

People have long drawn comparisons between ant societies and human ones a but in fact they are a reminder of how limited our influence on the world really is
It is a familiar story: a small group of animals living in a wooded grassland begin, against all odds, to populate Earth. At first, they occupy a specific ecological place in the landscape, kept in check by other species. Then something changes. The animals find a way to travel to new places. They learn to cope with unpredictability. They adapt to new kinds of food and shelter. They are clever. And they are aggressive.
In the new places, the old limits are missing. As their population grows and their reach expands, the animals lay claim to more territories, reshaping the relationships in each new landscape by eliminating some species and nurturing others. Over time, they create the largest animal societies, in terms of numbers of individuals, that the planet has ever known. And at the borders of those societies, they fight the most destructive within-species conflicts, in terms of individual fatalities, that the planet has ever known.

When people ask me where Iam from, I wryly tell them athe middle of nowherea. So, imagine my surprise when I saw that my old landlord and the remote place where I grew up were making national headlines over a court battle for the right to wild camp on Dartmoor.
Alexander Darwall bought the 1,619-hectare (4,000-acre) Blachford estate on southern Dartmoor in 2011. Dartmoor is the only place in England where wild camping is allowed, in designated areas, without permission from a landowner. Darwall successfully contested this right in court, arguing that the right to wild camp a as opposed to walking or picnicking a on the moors never existed. Then an appeal restored it.

Captain Heather Knight paved the way for England Women to win the opening T20 international against New Zealand by 27 runs. Knight hit 63 from 39 balls as England reached 160 for four in Dunedin before bowling two tight overs as the visiting attack put the brakes on New Zealandas reply.
Tammy Beaumont, playing her 100th T20 international, fell for 15 before Sophia Dunkley and Maia Bouchier laid a solid platform. Once Dunkley was caught behind for 32, Knightas arrival upped the scoring rate as she and Bouchier added 91 for the third wicket.

Hundreds of young Indian and Nepali men are ending up on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine. Their families want answers. Hannah Ellis-Petersen reports from Delhi
Hemul Mangakia grew up in Surat, a city in the Indian state of Gujarat. At 23 he was looking for opportunities and a way to make his mark on the world. So when he came across a video on YouTube posted by a recruitment agent in St Petersburg, Russia, he was intrigued. The man on the video said there were openings for security guards in the historic city. The pay was up to APS2,000 per month. The chance was too good to miss.
As Hannah Ellis-Petersen, the Guardianas south Asia correspondent, tells Michael Safi, this is a scene that has played out hundreds, maybe thousands of times in recent months. The young men, mainly from India and Nepal, fly to Russia on the promise of lucrative work and are then pressured into signing a different kind of contract: one that enlists them in the Russian military and pushes them to the frontline of the war in Ukraine, where many are now dying. Hemul Mangakiaas body was returned to India last week.

Circle in the Square Theater, New York
The Succession star delivers a bravura central turn in a rousing adaptation of a story that carries a discomforting contemporary relevance
For most people, the draw of An Enemy of the People, Sam Gold and Amy Herzogas Broadway adaptation of the Henrik Ibsen play, is not so much the chance to see a lesser-known work by the Norwegian dramatist updated for the present so much as the chance to see Jeremy Strong. The ex-Kendall Roy is shedding his suffusive, serious image as Successionas ex-No 1 boy a or, more accurately, drowning it, as promotional materials show him submerged in a tub a via the stage, in a serious, provocative morality play bound in the decorum of the distant past.
Still, there are flashes of HBOas political drama du jour in this 19th-century tale of competing agendas. Strong again plays a lone wolf in a tense sibling rivalry on a doomed crusade, albeit with more ethics as Thomas Stockmann, a provincial doctor in a small Norwegian town who discovers dangerous microbes in its water system. He suspects the bacteria, which require advanced (for the time) scientific instruments to detect, are the product of toxic run-off from new industrial tanneries, owned in part by his father-in-law (David Patrick Kelly); the near-certain likelihood of toxic infection a or, even worse, bad PR a imperils the townas salubrious spas and thus its local economy, both overseen by his brother Peter (an imposing Michael Imperioli), the mayor.

Russian president tells Red Square crowd Crimea is apride of Russiaa on 10th anniversary of annexation. What we know on day 755
President Vladimir Putin hailed the areturna to Russia of annexed Ukrainian territories, after winning an election slammed as illegitimate by western powers. aHand in hand, we will move forwards and this will make us stronger a| Long live Russia!a Putin told a crowd at a Red Square pop concert to mark 10 years since Russiaas annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
Putin told the crowd that Crimea was the apride of Russiaa and that the Black Sea peninsula had acome back to its native harboura when Moscow annexed the region. aThrough decades, they carried faith in their fatherland. They never separated themselves from Russia and thatas what allowed Crimea to return to our common family,a he said.
A senior Ukrainian official said Putinas idea of creating a buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory was a clear indication that Moscow planned to escalate the war. Putin raised the possibility of setting up a buffer zone during a speech after winning re-election on Sunday, a move the Kremlin said would be the only way to protect Russia from Ukrainian attacks. aThis is a| a direct manifest statement that the war will only escalate,a presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said it was acritically importanta for the US to provide additional military aid to Ukraine, during a meeting with US Republican senator Lindsey Graham on Monday. aThe sustained support of Ukraine by international partners, especially the United States, is now more important than ever for the implementation of plans to de-occupy our territories and protect our people,a he said.
Graham said he was confident an aid package stalled by Republican opposition in the US Congress would soon be approved, but called for aid to take the form of a low-interest, waivable loan. He and other Republicans have backed the notion of loans rather than grants for US allies to make the expenditure more sustainable and popular, a plan espoused by former president Donald Trump, the likely Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Turkeyas President Recep Tayyip ErdoAan on Monday congratulated Putin on his re-election and offered to mediate between Moscow and Ukraine, the Turkish presidency announced. Turkeyas top diplomat, Hakan Fidan, also hit out at adangerousa rhetoric coming from both Europe and Moscow. aThis war must end,a Fidan said in an interview with CNN Turk aired Monday evening. aOn both sides, tens of thousands of mothers are burying their children and itas continuing. Both sides have only too much to lose and nothing to gain,a he said.
EU foreign ministers strongly support taking the revenues from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said. aI am not saying there was unanimity but [there was] a strong consensus to take this decision,a Borrell told reporters on Monday after a meeting with the ministers held in Brussels.
The Council of the European Union ratified an agreement to increase the EUas support for the Ukrainian military by 5bn euros ($5.44bn) through a dedicated assistance fund. The EU said the money would fund training and both lethal and non-lethal military gear.
Ukrainian shelling killed four people near Russiaas border city of Belgorod on Monday, bringing the total number of dead in the region since last week to 15, authorities said. aFour people were killed in the village of Nikolskoye as a result of a direct shell hit on a private residential house,a governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Ukrainian officials said Monday that Russia had launched missiles on border regions where it has intensified attacks in recent days. Overnight, Russia launched five missiles on the north-eastern Kharkiv border region and also targeted the neighbouring Sumy border region with two missiles, the Ukrainian air force said. Russia also launched 22 drones on Ukraine overnight, 17 of which were shot down in various regions, the air force said.
