Tobias Ellwood says MPs would vote against government as Jeremy Hunt accuses rival of cowardice

Jeremy Hunt has stepped up his criticism of Boris Johnson for avoiding media scrutiny in the Tory leadership campaign, calling it adisrespectfula, as another minister said Johnson could be brought down by his own MPs if he pushed for a no-deal Brexit.

Tobias Ellwood, the junior defence minister, said it was possible that the decision by Johnson actively to seek no deal could push some Conservatives to support a no-confidence motion against his government.

Report on keeping border open, backed by Nicky Morgan and Greg Hands, suggests special economic zones

Alternative arrangements for keeping the Irish border open in the event of a no-deal Brexit or the collapse of future trade talks with the EU could be up and running within three years, a report concludes.

President accused of aflogging family silvera, as communists and Sarkozy MPs join forces

Emmanuel Macronas plan for the biggest wave of French privatisations in a decade is under threat after opposition politicians took the unusual step of joining ranks to push for a referendum on the sale of Paris airports.

The centrist French president wants to sell the stateas controlling stake in AA(c)roports de Paris, the profitable operator of Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports, which are used by more than 100 million passengers each year. It would be among the biggest privatisation operations in French history, alongside Macronas plans to sell other stakes in the national lottery as well as the gas and power group ENGIE.

Labour analysis finds nine of 10 councils with highest fatalities had cuts more than three times national average

The transport body had been insisting the club should pay more than APS14.7m for the privilege, in the face of vigorous resistance from Spurs.

The Stonewall rebellion in 1969 started a revolution in LGBT rights in the US. Ed Pilkington revisits the story 50 years on with those who were there. Plus: Lucy Seigle on the rise of fast fashion

On the evening of 27 June 1969, gay men and their trans and lesbian peers gathered as usual at a bar called the Stonewall Inn. What followed would change the course of LGBT rights in the US and the wider world. A police raid on the bar in the early hours of the following day descended into violence as supporters came out on to the streets and stayed there defiantly.

The Guardianas Ed Pilkington has tracked down some of those who took part in the rebellion and joins Anushka Asthana to discuss what happened and the growing recognition of LGBT rights in the decades that followed.

Ana MarAa HernA!ndez says shifting society out of acomfort zonea is difficult, but young people are inspiring

It would be very difficult to shift society out of its current acomfort zonea of business-as-usual, but she thought the much higher environmental awareness among young people was a reason for great optimism.

The pilot broke astronaut training records in the 1960s before being told a womanas place is not in orbit. Sixty years on, she is still pursuing her dream

When Wally Funk was barely a year old, she discovered aeroplanes. Her parents took her to an airport near where they lived in New Mexico and she got up close to a Douglas DC-3, an early airliner. aI go right to the wheel and I try to turn the nut,a she says. aMother said: aSheas going to fly.aa Just over 20 years later, in 1961, Funkas mother dropped her off at a clinic in Albuquerque, where she became the youngest participant in a programme to test whether the USas best female pilots could become astronauts. She didnat make it into space, but, nearly six decades on, she is still trying.

We meet at the home of Funkas friend, the journalist Sue Nelson, who has written a wonderful book about her. Funk is 80, straight-backed and sparkling. She is dressed in a black shirt embroidered with aWallya on one side and the logo from the organisation Women in Aviation International on the other, neatly tucked into black trousers on which she has sewn a patch for SpaceShipTwo a Virgin Galacticas suborbital plane. Funk spent $200,000 on a ticket in 2010 and is still waiting for the opportunity to use it. She talks energetically and loudly, and you have to speak up if you want her to hear you, thanks to a lifetime spent near plane engines. She is unlike anyone I have ever met.

An uptick in visitors follows after New York congresswoman recommends Bronx restaurants

Aurora Cerrato says it took all of one day for the AOC effect to take hold at her restaurant in Little Italy in the Bronx.

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a the New York congresswoman, progressive rising star in the Democratic party and local Bronx celebrity a tweeted about her visit to MangiPasta earlier this month, Cerrato saw an almost immediate uptick in visitors.

Dystopian fiction a from Anthony Burgessas A Clockwork Orange to Russell T Daviesas spectacular recent BBC1 series Years and Years a is usually intended to take elements of the present and then imagine a future in which they have become inescapable, so as to warn us of what might already be in our midst.

But the 21st century is challenging this technique in one bracing sense: the way the world now seems to race beyond the wildest aspects of our collective imagination before we have even started to think about what might come next. Consider last weekas news about Facebook, and the fact that three years of corporate disgrace a and rising noise from legislators about bringing the tech giant to heel a have yet to slow its terrifying quest to insinuate its workings into every area of our lives. Now, in a move that could have been taken from a futuristic novel, it wants to create nothing less than a new global currency.

The party has to address the concerns of groups beyond its urban base if it is to ultimately succeed

The Greens in Germany could hardly believe it. Leading party members were bouncing up and down when the public broadcasters sent the first, still uncertain results on the evening of the European Union elections. The green column rose to 20% and above, close to the black column of Angela Merkelas Christian Democrats, which ended up with 22.6%. Party manager Michael Kellner was beaming as the numbers came in.

Over the course of the evening it became clear that the Green party had nearly doubled its seats in the European parliament and had overtaken the Social Democrats, the former apeopleas partya. A historic victory for us, a historic disaster for them.

Current thinking casts a very dark cloud over any optimism my generation can have for our twilight years. So letas be creative

You know those conversations that keep coming round, such as what you would do if the apocalypse happened (dig down), or where you would go if you had a time machine (either Cleopatraas Egypt or a Cloud Atlas future to meet face-tat Hugh Grant)? One that occurs more and more within my friendship groups is about communal living in retirement: everyone chipping in to buy a house together, where we can play endless games of Mario Kart, sing DaAngelo round the BAPsendorfer and indulge in vast quantities of mind-bending prescription drugs. I feel fairly confident that Iam a few decades away from having to think about it seriously, but I reckon waltzing through the twilight years in a shared house with all your mates could be a great way to loll about before the music stops and the needle lifts.

I have just had a little taste of what it might be like. My friends Elen and James very sensibly got married in Cepha-bloomina-lonia, and a whole big gang of us (maybe 16 in total, including bride and groom) were all bundled into one big villa for the week. It was nothing short of utopian: to while away the days in gooey sunlight, never wholly sober, comparing mosquito bites and discussing everything other than Tr**p and Br***t, among a clique so unquenchably fun, so unquestioningly generous and so totally incapable of monitoring their alcohol consumption. The whole flock was glitter-glam and gorgeous. And those unspoken communal understandings around divisions of labour, they were happily respected by all. We had got each otheras backs, left no man behind and took it in turns to go to the bakery in the morning. As the week went on, it all began to feel quite possible: a new postmodern mode for family, anarcho-lushness, a gestalt alliance in sequins and cheap wine. Itas the dream, isnat it a for retirement to be one long holiday?

By framing deepfakes as a tech problem we allow Silicon Valley to evade responsibility for its symbiotic relationship with fake news

In the lead-up to the 2016 election, very few predicted the degree to which online misinformation would disrupt the democratic process. Now, as we edge closer to 2020, there is a heightened sense of vigilance around new threats to truth in our already fragile information ecosystem.

At the top of the list of concerns is no longer Russian bots, but deepfakes, the artifical intelligence-manipulated media that can make people appear to do or say things that they never did or said.

Boss of folding bike maker says battery-aided bikes could account for half of business within 10 years

Various venues, Yorkshire
Trawl through all the self-conscious noodling in this high-pedigree collab spanning four galleries and two cities and youall glimpse of authentic, balletic brilliance a but is it worth it?

The Yorkshire Sculpture International ought to be better than it is. A collaboration between Leeds City Art Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute next door, the Hepworth Wakefield and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, it is an up-and-down affair. There is no real sense of collaboration or unified curatorial overview, over and above the idea that asculpture is the most anthropological of the art formsa, an axiom provided by sculptor Phyllida Barlow. Discuss.

Korean Kimsooja has installed a mirrored floor (not again, you splutter) in Yorkshire Sculpture Parkas chapel, and put film on the windows to refract the light, casting rainbows round the chapel. It doesnat do it for me. Maria Loboda has dead, exotic insects poking out from behind the specially installed alabaster light fittings in one space at the Henry Moore Institute. Huma Bhabha has installed a specially commissioned, cyborg-like figure between a statue of Queen Victoria and the war memorial in Wakefield. Carved from styrofoam then cast in bronze and painted, it grins at nothing and no one, like a recent arrival from another planet. At least it is an escape from the Damien Hirst sculptures in Leeds town centre, and towering over the sheep in Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I guess they are here to add a bit of oomph. I have nothing to say about them.

Peter Stricklandas new film explores our obsession with clothes, an unlikely antagonist driving many classic chillers

• Modern Toss on horror

aA purchase on the horizon, a panoply of temptation, the hesitation in your voice, soon to be an echo in the recesses of the spheres of retail.a Who could resist such seductively florid sales patter? Certainly not Marianne Jean-Baptiste in In Fabric, the latest, laudably bonkers movie by Peter Strickland. Ignoring the sales assistantas vampiric demeanour, Jean-Baptiste falls in love with the dress she tries on (colour: aartery reda), only to find it is a haunted garment that inflicts upon its wearers pain, suffering and a nasty rash.

Like so many before her, Jean-Baptiste is a literal fashion victim; a woman who pays the price for seeking to make herself look better. It is a notion that harks back to fairytales and pulp horror fiction, and a by the look of things a is still very much in vogue. Powell and Pressburgeras 1948 The Red Shoes is the textbook example: the Faustian footwear brings no joy for ballerina Moira Shearer in life or art. In Fabric also brings to mind Tobe aTexas Chainsaw Massacrea Hooperas little-seen Iam Dangerous Tonight (1990), in which a red dress made from cursed Aztec fabric turns the women who wear it into wanton psycho killers.

From making Skittles from scratch to tasting gold leaf pizzas, a new generation of gastronomists are swapping Netflix and the BBC for DIY cookery shows

Any hungry person with a Netflix subscription will tell you that this is a golden age for food TV, with opulent, big-budget shows such as Chefas Table, Ugly Delicious and Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat offering feasts for the eyes as well as the tastebuds.

But over on YouTube, a slew of pretenders to the throne are making a virtue of more modest budgets, like canny food-truck chefs giving Michelin-starred restaurants a run for their money. They canat boast the exotic locations or multicamera setups of Netflixas shows, but thanks to their wit, charisma and concepts, that doesnat really matter.

Donat go the extra mile for a bed in Europeas great cities. From Rome to Vienna, Berlin to Barcelona, here are 10 great hostels just a short hop from the train

All five Clink hostels can be found near train stations: two in Kingas Cross in London, and two more opening soon in Dublin and Lisbon, each a few minutesa walk from the main stations. The fifth hostel is ClinkNoord is opposite Centraal Station on the other side of the Amstel river. A free, 24-hour ferry runs every seven minutes during the day and every 15 minutes at night. It takes five minutes to cross, then it is a 300-metre walk to the hostel, which is a converted 1920s laboratory. There are private en suite rooms (single, twin, doubles and quads), plus mixed and women-only dorms (sleeping four or 10). The cafe serves homemade banana bread and all-night panini; the bar has a happy hour from 5pm-7pm, food until 11pm and regular live music. Daily events include city walking and cycling tours, yoga and meditation sessions, and tasting sessions of Dutch beers.

Dr Matthew Roman claimed his inability to buy a gun violated his rights under the US constitutionas second amendment and the fifth amendmentas equal protection clause.
