More than 80 cases have already been reported in Europe, the US and Australia, including 20 in Britain. The global figure is unprecedented for a disease that is normally confined to central and west Africa.

Millions of tonnes of earth from the Crossrail project has been used to create a nature habitat on the Wallasea Island, Essex stretch of the link
Londonas new Elizabeth line will allow commuters to start taking high-speed trains under the city this week, on part of a 73-mile route that stretches from Reading in the west to Shenfield in the east. They will not be the first travellers to enjoy the benefits of the new line, however.

Long waiting times and difficulty in accessing other NHS facilities drive a trebling in those leaving without completing care
More than one in five patients at some hospitals are leaving accident and emergency departments before completing treatment, and in some cases before being seen for assessment at all, with the rate across England trebling since before the pandemic.
Experts told the Observer that the increase was probably driven by a combination of long A&E waiting times and by difficulties accessing NHS facilities such as GPs, community health services and NHS 111.

A post-Covid recruitment crisis overs security staff is forcing pubs and clubs to cut hours or open fewer days a week
After the tumult of the past two and a half years, the hospitality sector had been hoping for a bumper 2022 to recoup its pandemic losses. But while businesses have seen a surge in customers seeking to spend their lockdown savings, the twin pressures of staff shortages and rising costs are now forcing many clubs, restaurants, pubs and hotels to turn people away and close their doors midweek.
Bouncers are one role in particularly short supply. Three-quarters of clubs, pubs and bars said they were short of security staff, with some closing earlier or shutting entirely on Tuesdays or Wednesdays as well as Mondays, according to the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA).

From OCD to agoraphobia and PTSD, there are almost as many types of anxiety disorder as things to worry about. Hereas how to spot the signs and find the relevant support
Many people will be familiar with the dry mouth, intrusive thoughts, and fluttering heart and stomach that are the hallmarks of anxiety. Often a temporary, and completely natural reaction to threat, these responses can be helpful in certain situations, sharpening the mind and sending blood to where it is needed faster.
But whereas stress usually resolves once a concern has passed, anxiety persists and is often disproportionate to the challenge faced. If it continues for months, and starts to interfere with everyday activities, an anxiety disorder may be diagnosed.

Apocalypse is an alarming idea, commonly taken to denote catastrophic destruction foreshadowing the end of the world. But in the original Greek, apokA!lypsis means a revelation or an uncovering. One vernacular definition is ato take the lid off somethinga.
That latter feat is exactly what Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, achieved last week, possibly inadvertently, when he suggested Britain was facing aapocalyptica levels of food price inflation.

The distant screams you heard in New York on Friday night? That was nearly 20,000 fans freaking out over a chance to see Harry Styles perform his new album, Harryas House, for one night only at UBS arena on Long Island.
Whether you are a fan of Styles or not (I am), you cannot deny that he is very good at his job. The 28-year-old pop star went through the stadium show wringer with One Direction a the mega-profitable boy band that played over 100 arena shows a year in the mid-2010s a and his comfort on a large stage is clear. Dressed in leather pants, a heart-adorned tee and a yellow bauble necklace, Styles was loose without being impulsive, improvisational without missing his beats, typically charming and sincere without tipping too far into cliche.

Last month a Nasa data scientist, Peter Kalmus, chained himself to the entrance doors of the JP Morgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A video of a short speech he gave about global heating before he was arrested was shared multiple times on social media. In the clip, voice faltering, he told the public: aIam here because scientists are not being listened to a| we are going to lose everything and we are not joking.a He spoke to the Observer in a personal capacity.
What drove you to nonviolent protest?
Itas this mounting feeling that I need to do more. I have a sense of desperation, because of the wide gulf between what the science says society needs to do and how it feels like everything is heading in the opposite direction. World leaders and people not understanding that weare in an emergency.

Tiger isnat the only one struggling today, though. Low scores really are at a premium right now, with the vast majority of the early starters currently over par for their rounds. Thereas certainly not much in the way of dramatic upward momentum. But a few of the early starters are offering the field some hope. SebastiA!n MuA+-oz and Rikuya Hoshino are in with one-under 69s, while Lucas Glover has shot 68. Most strikingly of all, the 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson is spectacularly bucking the trend; heas four under for his round today through 16, thanks to a run of birdie-eagle-birdie through holes 12, 13 and 14. The eagle, on the second par five, was the result of a hole out from 80 yards. So, you know, weave given the conditions the big one, but it can be done. Simpson is level par for the tournament.
... so having just said all that, Tiger rolls in a 30-foot right-to-left slinger on 15 for his first birdie of the day! He chalks up an imaginary figure one, then allows a cheeky grin of self deprecation spread across his face. Heas +12, and if he can just par his way home, heall avoid posting a score in the 80s.

If London did not already know it, Sunderland are in town. On Friday night thousands of supporters, as they have done previously, took over Trafalgar Square, where they were joined by their owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, and on Saturday afternoon more than 46,000 took their seats at Wembley to paint more than half of this arena in red and white. Many did not stay still for long and by the end, most stood, waving flags and cranking up the volume as Sunderland got over the line against Wycombe to end their four-year exile from the Championship, courtesy of goals from Elliot Embleton and Ross Stewart.
This time there would be no pain. After three playoff finals ended in misery, the last of which was three years ago against Charlton, Sunderland made relatively light work of this assignment. Stewart completed the victory with a low drive into the corner with 11 minutes to play after Embletonas first-half piledriver set them on their way. For Embleton, who joined the club aged eight and was once a season-ticket holder at the Stadium of Light, it was the stuff of dreams. Embleton powered clear of Jason McCarthy and Josh Scowen, took three more strides and smacked the ball at goal with the laces of his right boot, just as it sat up nicely, from 25 yards. The Wycombe goalkeeper, David Stockdale, appeared powerless, raising his left arm as the ball flew past him before laying face-first on the turf.

The new world No 1 is taking nothing for granted but after taking a hard path to the top can recapture the French Open
As the new tennis season slowly commenced last year, the then 19-year-old Iga Swiatek was still in the process of testing the limits of her own strengths. The beginning of 2021 had marked her first tournaments since a transcendent French Open title in October 2020 and after admirably reaching the Australian Open fourth round, Swiatek lost in three tough sets to the former world No 1 Simona Halep.
When she spoke after that match, Swiatek marvelled at how much more space Halep had within her game to alter her tactics and solve problems on the court, something she thought she lacked. aI think thatas the difference between the champions and less experienced players,a she said, smiling sheepishly. aBecause I didnat feel like I had many options.a

The legendary Italian filmmakers had fallen out but a football match between their respective projects SalA2 and Novecento in 1975 brought them back together
Like any Sunday match worthy of the name, played in the park before a crowd that barely reached double figures including the dogs, that March morning a couple of ringers had been drafted in last minute. But this was different: a special match and some ringer. Although no one knew who he was then and didnat find out for 46 years, the kid called up that day, standing arms crossed at the edge of a forgotten photograph, now stands 90 rather more followed minutes from joining Paco Gento as the most successful man in European Cup history.
It was Parma, the spring of 1975, and two films were being shot just a few miles apart: Pier Paolo Pasolinias SalA2, or the 120 days of Sodom, and Bernardo Bertoluccias 1900 (Novecento in Italian), starring Robert De Niro and GA(c)rard Depardieu. Bertolucci had been Pasolinias protege but he took exception to his mentoras criticism of Last Tango in Paris and their relationship had soured. Which was when the actress Laura Betti suggested that, as they were using the same production company and filming so near, they could organise a match to bring them together: Novecento v SalA2.

They are two of the worldas richest people, and both are obsessed with space travel, but they use social media for very different reasons
Why do billionaires tweet? Is it because they no longer have to earn a living? Or because theyare bored? Or because they spend a lot of time in, er, the smallest room in the mansion? Elon Musk, for example, currently the worldas richest fruitcake, has said that aAt least 50% of my tweets were made on a porcelain thronea, adding that ait gives me solacea.

He has, after all, revealed that he has Aspergeras. aLook, I know I sometimes say or post strange things,a he said on Saturday Night Live, abut thatas just how my brain worksa. Understood.

To its evangelists, bitcoin is a frictionless, empowering form of money that liberates citizens of the world from the shackles of banks and national governments. To sceptics, the cryptocurrency is a tool of kleptocrats and gangsters, environmentally monstrous in its consumption of energy, a digitally glamorised Ponzi scheme whose eventual crash will most hurt those least able to afford a loss.
Confidence may or may not have been enhanced by the unveiling, by President Nayib Bukele, of images of a proposed bitcoin-shaped Bitcoin City in El Salvador, funded with a bitcoin bond, the currencyas logo embedded in the central plaza, a metropolis powered with geothermal energy from a nearby volcano.

We can support those trapped in shelters or struggling with survivoras guilt. But some emotional damage is irreparable
All four of my grandparents survived the second world war, and all four were scarcely willing to talk about it, having either survived the siege of Leningrad or come back from the frontline wounded. On the rare occasions they did, their memories would leave them devastated.
The lifelong PTSD they experienced was quite possibly one of the reasons I became a psychologist. I wanted to do something to end the vicious circle of trauma, abuse, self-neglect and fear. But during my training, I could never have predicted the way I would be applying my skills a decade later.

Back in its traditional May slot, the film festival was in boisterous spirits. Week oneas wildly eclectic offerings ranged from Italian arthouse grandeur to Tom Cruise flying high
AgnA"s Varda was a leading light of the French New Wave, puckish and inquisitive, the creator of Vagabond, Le Bonheur and Cleo from 5 to 7. Critics called her the movementas grand-mA"re but she wound up outlasting the bulk of her peers, scooping an Oscar nomination (her first) at the age of 89. She died in 2019 and was promptly buried at Montparnasse cemetery.
Now Varda is back, after a fashion, in the form of a dedicated cinema at the Cannes film festival. The Salle AgnA"s Varda sits on the beach behind the concrete Palais and will host what the French refer to as asA(c)ancesa (screenings, to you and me) throughout this event. Formerly known as the Salle du SoixantiA"me, the place has always been Cannesa most rambunctious, unruly venue: a glorified wedding marquee, buffeted by the wind and echoing with voices. Wherever she is, I reckon Varda would approve.

Earlier this month a leaked document showed that five conservatives on the nine-justice supreme court had voted to reverse their predecessorsa ruling in Roe v Wade nearly 50 years ago. The provisional ruling could lead to abortion being outlawed in more than half of US states unless it is changed substantially before becoming final.

White supremacy is as American as apple pie, as the latest killings in Buffalo show. Biden needs to take a stand against neofascists
Last weekend, just as I finished a live performance in California of Four Questions, the Grammy award-winning jazz collaboration for which I provided spoken words, word reached me about the racist killing of 10 people as they shopped in Buffalo, New York. I try never to be surprised by evil and never paralysed by despair. Instead, my immediate reaction was ahere we go againa, with the horror, the suffering and then the now familiar routine of rhetorical gestures and superficial posturing.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden described white supremacy as a poison, and he is right, but a as ever a he fails to understand the gravity of his failure to make racial justice a priority; to see this cowardly white supremacy as a threat to American democracy.

We can support those trapped in shelters or struggling with survivoras guilt. But some emotional damage is irreparable
All four of my grandparents survived the second world war, and all four were scarcely willing to talk about it, having either survived the siege of Leningrad or come back from the frontline wounded. On the rare occasions they did, their memories would leave them devastated.
The lifelong PTSD they experienced was quite possibly one of the reasons I became a psychologist. I wanted to do something to end the vicious circle of trauma, abuse, self-neglect and fear. But during my training, I could never have predicted the way I would be applying my skills a decade later.

Zalatoris leads Pereira by one at the halfway point of this US PGA Championship.
A 64 from Pereira, the 27-year-old Chilean, was already in the books before Zalatoris putted out for a 65. Nine under par plays eight under par. Increasingly benign conditions were notable on Friday afternoon but these were still terrific performances. aI actually got away with murder a few times,a said Zalatoris.

Supremely composed midfielder has made a real difference with his controlled passing game since arriving at Anfield
There was a good JA1/4rgen Klopp moment during Liverpoolas win at Southampton on Tuesday night. Nathan Redmond had just opened the scoring. The goal had come after a collision with a Liverpool player, drawing a minor wave of protest from the bench. Klopp has a standard move in these touchline moments: a bark of rage, a sudden pirouette, a flurry of air-punches like a man whirling around to fend off a late night pickpocket.
This time he did something new and much more haunting, standing totally still on the touchline and simply pointing at the referee with a long bony finger a and then carrying on pointing for what felt like ages, eyes ablaze, coat tails billowing, like some terrifying medieval woodcut called The Guilt of Man.

In compelling new film Hold Your Fire, a siege that pitted black robbers against white US police led to an unlikely outcome
Films about hostage situations rarely play out like Hold Your Fire, where both the captives and captors donat die.
Stefan Forbesas riveting documentary revisits a real life 47-hour standoff in Brooklyn following a botched sporting goods store robbery; the kind that makes you wonder why they never made a movie about that before. In January 1973, four Black men led by Shuaaib Raheem were planning to steal guns from John and Alas Sporting Goods in Bed-Stuy and were pitted into a loaded and intense confrontation with an overwhelmingly white police force that brought barricades, snipers and a tank.

She was accused of abetraying motherhooda when she was revealed as the author of the Guardianas Living With Teenagers column. Will her novel about a child with addiction issues reopen old wounds?
Few writers have published and been damned with quite the ferocity Julie Myerson was back in 2009 for her memoir The Lost Child. The book, which included descriptions of her 17-year-old son Jakeas cannabis addiction and her painful decision to lock him out of the family home, was debated everywhere from Mumsnet to newspaper opinion pages a aa betrayal of motherhood itselfa a and even the House of Commons. Extended family members were doorstepped and Jake was approached by a tabloid to sell his story at a time when he was extremely vulnerable.
aA little bit of me broke,a the novelist says, looking back. She was no longer able to drive, and certainly wasnat able to do live radio or TV (she had been a regular commentator on the BBCas Newsnight Review). aIt was terrible. My anxiety reached peaks that were just unmanageable. It was so shameful for me. I felt I had brought terrible things on my family through my work.a

Back in its traditional May slot, the film festival was in boisterous spirits. Week oneas wildly eclectic offerings ranged from Italian arthouse grandeur to Tom Cruise flying high
AgnA"s Varda was a leading light of the French New Wave, puckish and inquisitive, the creator of Vagabond, Le Bonheur and Cleo from 5 to 7. Critics called her the movementas grand-mA"re but she wound up outlasting the bulk of her peers, scooping an Oscar nomination (her first) at the age of 89. She died in 2019 and was promptly buried at Montparnasse cemetery.
Now Varda is back, after a fashion, in the form of a dedicated cinema at the Cannes film festival. The Salle AgnA"s Varda sits on the beach behind the concrete Palais and will host what the French refer to as asA(c)ancesa (screenings, to you and me) throughout this event. Formerly known as the Salle du SoixantiA"me, the place has always been Cannesa most rambunctious, unruly venue: a glorified wedding marquee, buffeted by the wind and echoing with voices. Wherever she is, I reckon Varda would approve.

Can books unite us in divided times? Writers appearing at this yearas Hay Festival recommend the best reading to reconnect us
Lanieras provocatively titled book may in itself appear divisive, but the tools for unity are abundant within this brief and lucid volume. Chief among them is Lanieras reminder that strife and division aa conflict, in other words aa are encouraged, incited, stoked and rewarded by the online platforms that many of us use to communicate. Lanier is a longtime tech insider (he coined the phrase avirtual realitya in the 1980s) who still works for Microsoft, but he pulls no punches when it comes to indicting his industry. Insisting that we call aengagementa by its true name, abehaviour modificationa, Lanier argues that we are being nudged into discord by the seemingly neutral conduits of our online communities a all to the profit of data-gathering systems in which we, the users, are actually the products. There is a silver lining to this frightening vision: we are not as far apart as we may think. Walking away is possible, and awareness itself is a useful tool. Lanieras book provides that.

George Milleras belated followup to 2015as Mad Max: Fury Road is a consciously unfashionable fantasy about a wary academic and a chatty genie that may leave you wishing for more
Grant the Mad Max fans a magic wish and theyad conjure up a new film from George Miller, right here and right now, not a moment to lose. Itas probably what theyave been wanting since Fury Road trundled off into the desert back in 2015. Now their prayers have been answered, God help them, as Miller arrived at the Cannes film festival to uncork a picture he describes as athe anti-Mad Maxa: a loquacious Arabian Nights-style fantasy about the relationship between an ancient genie and a London academic. These people really should have read the small print. Every magic wish comes with a consequence, a cost.
Adapted from a 1994 AS Byatt novella, Three Thousand Years of Longing casts Tilda Swinton as Alithea Binnie, a professor of narratology, telling stories about stories. Alone in her Istanbul hotel suite, she opens a glass bottle and out hops the Djinn (Idris Elba in pointy ears), vowing to deliver her heartas desire. Heas spent millennia in confinement and has lots to say for himself. And so the pair sit in white towelling bathrobes as he recounts his various adventures and incarcerations, telling Alithea about the Queen of Sheba and the Ottoman Empire while periodically chivvying her to come up with a wish. The professor, perhaps for the first time in her life, is stumped. aThis wishing is a hazardous business,a she complains.

What happens if Nazi butchers are areassesseda in the name of national pride?
In March 1965, the festering corpse of 64-year-old Herberts Cukurs was discovered stuffed into a trunk in a seaside bungalow in Montevideo, Uruguay. During the 1930s, Cukursa exploits as a dashing aviator had made him one of the most celebrated men in Latvia. Under the Nazi occupation, he found a new calling as a prominent member of the Arajs Kommando, the SS-affiliated killing unit responsible for the burning of the Riga ghetto and the massacre of around 25,000 Jews in Rumbula forest, among other barbarities.
Cukurs was contentedly operating a pedal-boat business in Brazil when allegations of his crimes became public knowledge and the Latvian Lindbergh mutated into the Latvian Eichmann. In fact, Yaakov Meidad, one of the Mossad agents who had helped kidnap Eichmann in Argentina five years earlier, led the mission to kill Cukurs. He left on the body a folder containing a passage from Sir Hartley Shawcrossas closing prosecution statement at the Nuremberg trials, which imagines that humanity itself acomes to this court and cries: aThese are our laws a let them prevail!aa

Bee Wilson was bereft when her marriage suddenly ended after 22 years. But solace came from meatballs, eggy bread and her most beloved meals. She talks to four other people who pieced themselves back together with food
The day after my husband first said he didnat love me any more, I made a Nigella recipe for parmesan french toast: big wodges of white bread soaked in egg with parmesan, dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, fried in butter to a deep golden brown. It reminded me of the aeggy breada my mother would make when I was a child. The week after that, having told our children their dad was leaving, I made meatballs from the Falastin cookbook by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. Itas fiddly but worth it. Each meatball is sandwiched between slices of roasted aubergine and tomato, with a rich tomato sauce on top followed by torn basil leaves after it comes out of the oven. I served the meatballs with a big pot of coarse bulgur wheat cooked with bay leaves, which is one of my carbs of choice when I am feeling fragile. Iave been eating a lot of bulgur lately.
People talk about acomfort fooda as if it were a kind of trivial indulgence. But this is missing the point. True comfort food isnat sticky toffee pudding on a cosy night in, or sausages and mash on a crisp cold night. Itas the deeply personal flavours and textures you turn to when life has punched you in the gut. Comfort food should really be called trauma food. Itas what you cook and eat to remind you youare alive when you are not entirely sure this is true. At least, this is how it has been for me.

A sprightly courgette and melon salad, an oregano-spiked roast aubergine and tomato number with feta cream, and a leafy salad with zesty breadcrumbs and a sharp, apple dressing
I feel like a kid in a sweetshop at this time of year, rubbing my hands (or my tummy, more honestly) in anticipation of all the combinations to be had. Sweet melons, crunchy apples, tender courgettes, soft herbs, ripe tomatoes, buttery leaves: Iam bowled over by the colours, the possibilities, and delighted that, unlike when I was a kid, I donat need to restrain myself.

After an eight-month wait, NHS appointments, including an MRI, start coming at me fast. Who cares what date it is?
At the end of last summer I went to see the GP about my left ear: I wasnat hearing very well out of it. The GP couldnat see anything wrong, thanks to the bony protrusions lining my ear canal a the result, I understand, of regular cold water swimming as a child. I knew about those anyway; they donat do much, apart from block the view.
But the GP was concerned enough to refer me to an ear clinic. I wasnat worried, until I rang the clinic about my appointment and they told me there was a six-month waiting list, at which point I decided I was going deaf.

What happens when Plato mixes with playtime? Philosopher Scott Hershovitz answers the questions that confound children and adults alike
Children are constantly wrestling with questions about metaphysics and morality. But most adults in their lives donat notice or, even worse, discourage them when they do. Iam a philosopher and a father. Iave got two boys, Rex and Hank. They have been asking philosophical questions since they were little, and they try to answer them too. Theyave recreated ancient arguments and advanced entirely new ones. People are sceptical when I say that. aSure, your kids are philosophical,a they respond, abut youare a philosopher. Most kids arenat like that.a
They are wrong, though. Every child is a natural philosopher. Theyare puzzled by the world and they try to puzzle it out. And theyare good at it, too. Kids are clever and courageous thinkers. In fact, adults can learn a lot from listening to them a and thinking with them.

The Bank of England governor warned last week of aapocalyptica food price rises. Yet war in Ukraine, climate change and inflation are already taking their toll all over the world
Apocalypse is an alarming idea, commonly taken to denote catastrophic destruction foreshadowing the end of the world. But in the original Greek, apokA!lypsis means a revelation or an uncovering. One vernacular definition is ato take the lid off somethinga.
That latter feat is exactly what Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, achieved last week, possibly inadvertently, when he suggested Britain was facing aapocalyptica levels of food price inflation. Tory ministers fumed over what they saw as implied criticism of the governmentas masterly economic management.

The Nasa data scientist explains why inaction on the climate crisis pushed him to chain himself to an LA bank a and why trusting in the apeople in chargea is so dangerous
Last month a Nasa data scientist, Peter Kalmus, chained himself to the entrance doors of the JP Morgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A video of a short speech he gave about global heating before he was arrested was shared multiple times on social media. In the clip, voice faltering, he told the public: aIam here because scientists are not being listened to a| we are going to lose everything and we are not joking.a He spoke to the Observer in a personal capacity.
What drove you to nonviolent protest?
Itas this mounting feeling that I need to do more. I have a sense of desperation, because of the wide gulf between what the science says society needs to do and how it feels like everything is heading in the opposite direction. World leaders and people not understanding that weare in an emergency.

A post-Covid recruitment crisis overs security staff is forcing pubs and clubs to cut hours or open fewer days a week
After the tumult of the past two and a half years, the hospitality sector had been hoping for a bumper 2022 to recoup its pandemic losses. But while businesses have seen a surge in customers seeking to spend their lockdown savings, the twin pressures of staff shortages and rising costs are now forcing many clubs, restaurants, pubs and hotels to turn people away and close their doors midweek.
Bouncers are one role in particularly short supply. Three-quarters of clubs, pubs and bars said they were short of security staff, with some closing earlier or shutting entirely on Tuesdays or Wednesdays as well as Mondays, according to the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA).

Now London-based, the artist creates and photographs the creatures she spies around her so you can see them too. aFor my polar bear I wanted snowflakes on the clothes line, so I shot outside in February at -32C [during a visit to Russia].

The photographer and Instagrammer looks back at the day under Manhattan Bridge when a hobby became a calling
It was a moody January morning in Brooklyn, New York, when Monaris, whose real name is Paola Franqui, headed to a local pier to meet a group of strangers. The 100 or so she found there were fellow Instagram aficionados, armed with iPhones and a sense of camaraderie and possibility. It was 2014 and the social media platform was booming. aI was working nine to five for a Taiwanese logistics company at the time,a she says, abut photography was my passion. After that day, I started taking it more seriously; three years later, I was saying no to so many opportunities that I quit my job and went full-time.a
Looking back, Monaris feels lucky to have started out when she did. aItas harder to build your brand now, because there are so many of us.a
