Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news
The chief executive of UBS has insisted this morning that his bank can handle the takeover of Credit Suisse.
Ralph Hamers told broadcaster SRF that UBS could handle the risks of combining with Credit Suisse.
aWe have a very good capital ratio at UBS, and we also have a very good liquidity position. So we have contained the risks in the markets.
aThe second step for us is to transform CSas investment bank into an investment bank like UBS has. We call this a capital-light investment bank. In doing so, we are not taking so much risk.a
aThere are certainly opportunities and chances for growth.
The many employees - CS has 50,000 worldwide - also have a new future together with us. And together we can build an even more beautiful bank.a
aThe takeover means that we are bringing back stability and security for CS clients.
aBut also that we are upholding the reputation of the Swiss financial centre.a

Party calls for urgent extra funding as it finds there are hundreds of old X-ray machines, CT scanners and radiotherapy machines in use
Four in 10 NHS hospitals in England are using outdated medical equipment including 37-year-old X-ray machines, according to research from the Lib Dems, who are calling for extra funding to replace outdated devices.
NHS hospitals are using hundreds of old X-ray machines, CT scanners and radiotherapy machines, with some dating back to the 1980s, according to research based on freedom of information requests to 69 hospital trusts. Of these, 41 said they had at least one X-ray machine that was more than 20 years old.

Chinaas president seeks role of global peacemaker as well as Putin ally; UK co-hosts conference to raise cash to fund investigation
Chinaas foreign ministry said on Monday the international criminal court (ICC) should take a just position, in response to a question on ICCas decision to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
China will continue to take an objective and just role in the Ukraine crisis, and play a constructive role in peace talks, Reuters reports spokesperson Wang Wenbin told the media at a regular news briefing.
Over the past three weeks, Russian forces have made creeping gains around the Ukrainian-held Donbas town of Avdiivka, immediately north of Donetsk city. Avdiivka has been on the frontline of the Donbas conflict since 2014; the city is now largely destroyed. Tactically, the situation is similar to that in the larger town of Bakhmut, further north. Ukrainian forces continue organised defence, but their supply lines to the west are increasingly threatened by the Russian envelopment operation.

International courtas prosecutor to make case at conference in London after Putin warrant issued

Khan made his dramatic move against the Russian president last week ahead of a conference in London co-hosted by the UK and the Dutch government aimed at raising cash to fund the ICCas war crimes investigatory work inside Ukraine. The ICCas budget has not been increased even though it has 40 investigators working inside Ukraine.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has praised his Chinese counterpart as a agood old frienda as Xi Jinping visits Moscow
Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to begin a state visit to Russia, seeking to present China as a global peacemaker while strengthening ties with Vladimir Putin. Xi and Putin will have an informal one-on-one meeting and dinner on Monday before negotiations take place on Tuesday.
Putin praised Xi as a agood old frienda in a newspaper article published in China while Xi wrote in a Russian daily that his trip to Russia aimed to strengthen the friendship between the two countries and called for apragmatisma on Ukraine.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called the international criminal courtas arrest warrant against Putin a aturning pointa in the conflict. In Zelenskyas nightly address, he said the warrant marked a atruly significant international legal result for Ukraine, for justice a| The moment after which it becomes undeniable that the end of this aggression for Russia will be the full range of its responsibility.a
Putin visited a command post in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. Russian state-owned news agency TASS said Putin held a meeting at a military command and control post in the Russian city. It comes after Putin travelled to Russian-occupied Mariupol by helicopter, and visited Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ukraineas Ministry of Defence accused Putin of visiting Mariupol aunder the cover of nighta in order to avoid showing destruction of city. In a Twitter post the ministry said adarkness allows him to highlight what he wants to show, and keeps a| its few surviving inhabitants away from prying eyes.a
Justice ministers from more than 40 countries are set to meet in London at a conference to discuss boosting support for the ICC as it investigates possible war crimes in the Ukraine conflict, after the issuing of the arrest warrant for Putin and Lvova-Belova.
Ukraineas armed forces have released their latest estimate for war casualties, although the Guardian cannot verify them. The countryas army now claims to have killed 164,910 Russian troops since the start of the war. Of these, they say 710 were killed in the 24 hours to Sunday morning. They also report having destroyed eight Russian artillery systems since Saturday.
A shortage of explosives is hampering the efforts of European countries to provide Ukraine with arms, according to a report. Industry insiders told the Financial Times that gunpowder, plastic explosives and TNT are in short supply and could delay a planned ramping up of shell production by as much as three years. It means Europeas defence industry may be unable to meet expected EU orders for Ukraine.
Britain and Ukraine have signed a digital trade deal, which will give Ukraine access to electronic financial services to aid reconstruction efforts. The UK department of business and trade said trading digitally was particularly important in the conflict, because damage to Ukrainian infrastructure and warfare had made it much harder to trade physically.
Serbiaas president attacked the decision to issue an international arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin, saying it will only prolong the war in Ukraine. Aleksandar VuAiA, who has previously boasted of his personal relationship with the Russian leader, told reporters in Belgrade: aI think issuing an arrest warrant for Putin, not to go into legal matters, will have bad political consequences and it says that there is a great reluctance to talk about peace (and) about truce.a

I Wanna Be Yours, a love poem that rhymes Ford Cortina with vacuum cleaner, has been a school text and a wedding staple. But now, thanks to TikTok and Arctic Monkeys, it has gone spectacularly global. So who was it written for?
Forget TS Eliotas The Waste Land, Philip Larkinas High Windows and Sylvia Plathas Lady Lazarus. While those works may have more cultural heft, for sheer popularity no 20th-century British poem can touch John Cooper Clarkeas I Wanna Be Yours. In this love poem, to prove his devotion, an abject Clarke offers to metamorphose into everyday items: aI wanna be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust / I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust.a The work became an irreverent favourite at weddings soon after being written in 1982, and its addition to the GCSE English syllabus in the 1990s brought it to a younger generation. One of those studying it was Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, who later said: aIt made my ears prick up in the classroom, because it was nothing like anything Iad heard.a Turner eventually adapted it into the ballad that closes out the bandas most successful album, 2013as AM.
Thanks in part to another new audience, teens finding it on TikTok, the bandas version of I Wanna Be Yours is now wildly, improbably popular: it will clock up its billionth stream on Spotify this week, having spent months on the platformas Top 50 songs chart, not in the UK but globally. This slow ballad, with Clarkeas poetry referencing setting lotion and electricity meters, sticks out a mile next to K-pop and Puerto Rican reggaeton. Spotify says the song is most popular in the US, Indonesia, Mexico and Brazil; the bandas label Domino says the songas popularity is particularly growing in India, the Philippines and Turkey. If it was previously Britainas favourite wedding poem, itas now quantifiably the worldas favourite British poem, full stop.

Former Shia fighter who had murderous reputation during civil war now offers help to cityas widows and orphans
On a recent warm afternoon, a white, American-made SUV drove down the streets of the eastern Baghdad district of Sadr City. In the passenger seat sat an older militia boss, and behind him were two bodyguards, his five-year-old son, and a Kalashnikov. Their first stop was a small grocery shop, where a young man with a mop of ginger hair was busy serving customers.
One of the bodyguards beckoned to the young man, who came hurriedly and stood a respectful distance from the car. The militia boss stopped toying with his automatic pistol, pulled out a brown envelope from a large stash on the dashboard, and gave it to the young man, while one of the bodyguards handed him a small plastic bag from the back of the car.

I walk slowly and with care across Westminster Bridge, because any trip could prove disastrous.

The construction of vast dams and a network of roads and railways have taken a heavy toll on the state of Uttarakhand, with buildings in Joshimath and other settlements collapsing and residents blaming government indifference
Beneath the dark, jagged peaks of the Himalayas, Ashish Joshyal surveys a crater where his house once stood. Behind him, the bright green walls of his kitchen and living room tilt at jarring angles, some collapsed altogether. The floor is a sea of rubble and stone.
Not long ago, Joshyalas house stood upright. But, like hundreds of others in Joshimath, a sacred town in the Indian state of Uttarakhand high up in the Himalayas, his problems began one night in early January. Cracks appeared in his roof, then crept down the walls. They got wider and wider until they were gaping chasms.

Why did you get into musical comedy?
I did musical comedy first because that was all I could do! Iad written and performed songs since I was young, so it was the most obvious way in. Doing standup straight away would have terrified me at that time. The piano was a good comfort blanket.
Can you recall a gig so bad that itas now funny?
I remember one in the West End. I was wearing a glitzy gold sequin top because I had a joke about it. I walked on stage and opened my set saying, aI know what youare thinking about my top,a and someone shouted, aItas shit,a very seriously, before I could do the punchline. I had a bad time.

Gordon Brown, Condoleezza Rice and Alastair Campbell are as responsible for an illegal war as the Russian leaderas ahenchmena they condemn
It goes beyond hypocrisy. Itas an assault on memory. Gordon Brown, calling for a special tribunal to punish the Russian government, correctly states that an act of aggression a invading another nation a was identified by the Nuremberg tribunal as athe supreme international crimea. It is, he wrote in the Guardian, not just Vladimir Putin who should be prosecuted, but also his ahenchmena. These include members of the Russian and perhaps Belarusian national security councils, and a range of political and military leaders. All should be held to account for this amanifestly illegal wara, he wrote on his website.
Condoleezza Rice, who was George W Bushas national security adviser, was asked of Russiaas aggression on Fox News, awhen you invade a sovereign nation, that is a war crime?a She replied: aIt is certainly against every principle of international law and international order.a

The governmentas cruelty towards migrants isnat a ringfenced issue, far from the lives of everyone else. In reality, nobodyas rights are safe
The UKas hostile environment is spreading. Just days ago, the country was downgraded in an annual global index of civic freedoms, as a result of the governmentas aincreasingly authoritariana approach towards bodies that speak out against policies on anti-racism, refugee and asylum seeker rights, and the climate crisis. The Tory obsession with immigration in general, and lately small boats in particular, has become a gateway for even wider oppression.
The Gary Lineker affair seemed like a victory, but really it was a warning. He is reinstalled, the BBC is cowed, and the Conservatives are nursing a bloody nose having lost this round in the culture war. But all it illustrated was the strength of the chokehold the right has on our ability to speak against its agenda without vilification. When significant resources are directed towards scapegoating and punishing those whose rights have been taken away by a government, the result is a country where everyoneas rights are by extension removed. Disagreement is turned at once into dissidence.

After a lifetime of indifference, my ailing mutt has become anxious around other dogs a but the vetas solution has amazing potential
I took Oscar, our morose, ancient whippet, to the vet this week. Nothing serious: his failing body and my failing wallet spend half our lives there (a friend texted recently: aI have joined Dignity in Dying on the strength of Oscar,a which Iam unsure how to interpret). There are unexpected upsides, mainly the other animals; I met a cat called Corbyn last time.
Drawing up Oscaras arthritis shot, the nurse asked for a progress report. How is his zest for life? (Absent, as it always has been.) Whatas his opinion of stairs? (Against.) Does he enjoy food? (The costlier the better.) Is he still waking at 5am? (Look at my ruined face: you tell me.) I mentioned as we chatted that, after a lifetime of disdainful indifference, he has become anxious around other dogs a conscious of his own frailty, I suppose. He barks and gets upset if they want to play. aIam going to give you something,a she said, rummaging in a cupboard. Dog Xanax for us to share? No, a yellow ribbon that reads aI need spacea.

Misguided policies are hurting the poorest in society, writes the UNas independent expert; our focus should be on reducing inequality not increasing GDP
A new report from the Center for Global Development claims extreme poverty may be eradicated by 2050 thanks to economic growth in low-income countries. However, a cause for celebration, this is not.

By the time Australia gets its first nuclear-powered submarines, ecological collapse will already have reshaped world politics
Under the terms of the governmentas nuclear submarine purchase, the first Australian-built Aukus class vessels come into service in the early 2040s. What else might be happening then?
According to the IPCC, at current rates, the planet will have warmed more than 1.5C above its pre-industrial state. In fact, many scientists believe temperatures could smash the 1.5C barrier as soon as 2030 or 2035 a that is, around about when Australia receives the first of its Virginia-class nuclear subs.

Antonio Conte comes out swinging, Rob Holding steps up for Arsenal and Brightonas talent conveyor belt keeps rolling
Will Antonio Conte be in charge of Tottenham for their next fixture, on 3 April at Everton? Those in the St Maryas press room on Saturday evening were in little doubt that his instant-classic rant a two questions batted away during 10 minutes of fury a was a kiss-off, an ejector seat activated. Conte levelled blame at everyone but himself and even threw an olive branch to his predecessors, a list including arch-rival JosA(c) Mourinho. aThey can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change,a Conte declared in a critique of the clubas culture, and by extension, the owners Enic and the chairman, Daniel Levy. It was the players who received the most bilious invective, creating a potentially awkward situation post-international break, should Conte still be around. aThey donat want to play under pressure, they donat want to play under stress,a he hissed. Listening back to the tape, it was amusing to hear Conte entering the room with a demure apology for being late. John Brewin

Fifa president has been reelected unopposed and is pushing through unpopular reforms like the enlarged World Cup
The crassest leader in global sport was at it again last week, making a comparison between Rwandaas recovery from genocide to his own struggles to be elected Fifa president for the first time. It was another one of those Gianni Infantino car-crash moments you could see looming from a mile off, from the moment he explained how his 2016 campaign had appeared to hit the skids, before a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial encouraged him to keep fighting. Yet on he went, pressing down harder on the accelerator, oblivious as always.
aAnd I said, aWho am I to give up?aa Infantino told the Fifa delegates who had just re-elected him unopposed for another four-year term. aWhat this country has suffered and how this country came back up is inspiring for the entire world, dear president a| I continued to campaign, and I was elected the Fifa president a few months later.a

- Spaniard wins 6-3, 6-2 to claim first big title since US Open
- Elena Rybakina beats Aryna Sabalenka in womenas final
Daniil Medvedev stepped out onto Stadium 1 at Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Sunday evening with a 19-match winning streak behind him, confidence flowing in his veins. He was the in-form player on the tour, a champion who has established himself as the best hard court player of his generation. And yet, in the end, none of that mattered. Forty-five minutes into the final, he was completely out of ideas.
That is simply the power of Carlos Alcaraz, a special generational talent who at 19 years old continues to produce greatness seemingly every time he steps on the court. After a brutal few months of injuries, Alcaraz re-established himself at the top with a statement victory, demolishing Medvedev 6-3, 6-2 to win the Indian Wells title and clinch his first big win since becoming US Open champion.

Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwanas former president, will visit China this month in the first visit by a current or former leader since the defeated Nationalist Chinese government fled to the island at the end of the civil war in 1949.
The high profile visit has been presented by Ma and his party, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), as a chance to boost friendly cross-strait exchanges at a time of extreme disconnection, which has been driven by Beijingas plans to annex Taiwan and exacerbated by the pandemic. However it is also likely to fuel domestic political division between the KMT and ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) over relations with China.

With its dizzying spirituality and devotion to asacreda skincare, Paris Hiltonas memoir exposes a culture in which the self only exists if validated by a selfie
Twenty years ago, Paris Hilton was the stiletto-heeled embodiment of the zeitgeist. With a chihuahua called Diamond Baby kennelled in her designer handbag, this nepotistic partygoer juggled five mobile phones while cantering across continents to sell branded merchandise to the fans she smarmily addresses as amy Little Hiltonsa. Now, in her early 40s, she has published a memoir, which for ephemeral, unreflective celebrities like her is usually a way of fending off imminent obsolescence.
The book a ventriloquised by Joni Rodgers, who describes herself as a astory whisperera a is as vapid and vaporous as the fragrances Hilton sells; all the same, archaeologists may one day consult it in the hope of understanding how and why our species underwent a final mutation into something glossily post-human. The antics of this entitled flibbertigibbet expose the absurdity of a culture in which the self only exists if it is validated by a selfie, membership of society depends on the mirage of social media and the reality in which we were all once anchored has been replaced by a flimsy virtual replica.

The songwriteras ninth album is heavy and disarmingly truthful, yet expands its close lens thanks to her wide-ranging, alluring aesthetic looseness
You could describe Lana Del Reyas career thus far as a Benjamin Button-type situation: the more hushed, insular, formally experimental and self-referential her music gets, the more popular she seems to become. Last year, she collaborated with Taylor Swift as the only featured artist on her 10th album, Midnights; every other week, a new song from 2014as Ultraviolence or 2019as Norman Fucking Rockwell! (NFR!) goes viral. Popas new generation seems to look to her as a guiding light, perhaps more than any other star; her impact on culture is outsized, evidenced by a recent artist-on-artist interview in which Billie Eilish gushes about Del Rey, revealing that a photo of her was the background on her first ever phone.
Did You Know That Thereas a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, her ninth album, fits Del Reyas curious career arc: it is her quietest, most wilfully inscrutable record in a long time, perhaps since 2015as glacially paced, rebelliously quiet Honeymoon. Many of the songs here donat have choruses or hooks, and instead feel like the result of Del Rey simply standing in front of a microphone and vibing out. As on 2021as Blue Banisters, her usual US iconography has been largely replaced with specifics from her own life a the names of her siblings recur; one song is named for Margaret Qualley, the actor girlfriend of Del Reyas producer, Jack Antonoff; five songs were written with Mike Hermosa, an ex-boyfriend. Del Reyas artistic universe has long been a closed feedback loop, and in Ocean Blvdas most dramatic, dynamic moments a the jaw-dropping A&W and hazy closer Taco Truck x VB a she outright samples herself, reusing elements of two NFR! songs to create a psychedelic, unexpected time warp.

This documentary about a small Japanese island, a once thriving mining outpost that now has only 100 residents, lightens its existential concerns with a focus on human connection
In his second full-length documentary, Swiss director Andrea Pellerani gives us a guided tour of what a post-industrial, post-growth, or even an eerily post-human future might look like. We are on the south-western Japanese island of Ikeshima. Once a thriving mining outpost that was home to 8,000 people, since the facilityas closure in 2001 it has been reduced to just 100 mostly elderly holdouts. As the residents fish the grey sea off abandoned wharves, inspect pregnant cats and loiter around derelict lots, there is a sense they inhabit the set of a long-shuttered stage play, and are awaiting new lines.
Though it begins with long tracking shots of greenery choking empty apartment blocks, Dreaming an Island isnat exactly ruin porn. Pellerani is more interested in the vestiges of human activity, and milks a distinct absurdity from the stalwart locals. One collects afuna beach flotsam, there are guides waiting rather optimistically for an upswing in coal-mining tourism, while Ikeshimaas sole restaurateur hopes for a customer. aIs there anything interesting to see?a asks one who finally turns up. aIn what sense interesting?a she replies.

I am 73, have an annual income after tax of APS23,000 and my housing costs have soared
Q I am 73 years old with an annual income after tax of APS23,000. My housing costs have soared, partly because of a cladding issue, so I do not have as much spare cash for holidays, theatre, art exhibitions, concerts and so on. I realise this is a luxury problem compared with otheras worries. My four children all own properties, partly financed by my pension lump sum. I have also been diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition, which means my trips to galleries will be truncated. Would releasing some cash via equity release be a good idea? I own my own flat, which is worth about APS230,000.
RN
A I canat say if equity release is right for you but I can say that it is an option. Because you are over 55 and your flat is worth more than APS70,000, you are able to release cash from your home with an equity release mortgage. How much cash you can release depends on your age and the value of your home. According to Andy Vickery, a qualified equity release and mortgage adviser at Money Release who specialises in over-55s finance, at 55, for example, you can take 21.5% of the value of your property; at 70, 37.1%, going up to 50% if you are over 80.

Justice ministers from more than 40 countries are set to meet in London at a conference to discuss boosting support for the ICC as it investigates possible war crimes in the Ukraine conflict, after the issuing of the arrest warrant for Putin and Lvova-Belova.
Ukraineas armed forces have released their latest estimate for war casualties, although the Guardian cannot verify them. The countryas army now claims to have killed 164,910 Russian troops since the start of the war. Of these, they say 710 were killed in the 24 hours to Sunday morning. They also report having destroyed eight Russian artillery systems since Saturday.
A shortage of explosives is hampering the efforts of European countries to provide Ukraine with arms, according to a report. Industry insiders told the Financial Times that gunpowder, plastic explosives and TNT are in short supply and could delay a planned ramping up of shell production by as much as three years. It means Europeas defence industry may be unable to meet expected EU orders for Ukraine.

To my fellow travellers, Iam sure the package Iam carrying looks like a lunchbox. Circular, and dark blue, with a Tupperware-style lid, it is precisely the kind of vessel youad transport a soup or salad in. Iave even sealed it inside a freezer bag, to contain any leaks. Or smells.
I walk slowly and with care across Westminster Bridge, because any trip could prove disastrous. As I enter St Thomasa Hospital and head for the infection department on the fifth floor, I realise the object Iam carrying is still warm, and, despite my preparations, Iam sure I can detect a faint whiff of something ripe, like camembert.

Antonio Conte comes out swinging, Rob Holding steps up for Arsenal and Brightonas talent conveyor belt keeps rolling
Will Antonio Conte be in charge of Tottenham for their next fixture, on 3 April at Everton? Those in the St Maryas press room on Saturday evening were in little doubt that his instant-classic rant a two questions batted away during 10 minutes of fury a was a kiss-off, an ejector seat activated. Conte levelled blame at everyone but himself and even threw an olive branch to his predecessors, a list including arch-rival JosA(c) Mourinho. aThey can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change,a Conte declared in a critique of the clubas culture, and by extension, the owners Enic and the chairman, Daniel Levy. It was the players who received the most bilious invective, creating a potentially awkward situation post-international break, should Conte still be around. aThey donat want to play under pressure, they donat want to play under stress,a he hissed. Listening back to the tape, it was amusing to hear Conte entering the room with a demure apology for being late. John Brewin

- Spaniard wins 6-3, 6-2 to claim first big title since US Open
- Elena Rybakina beats Aryna Sabalenka in womenas final
Daniil Medvedev stepped out onto Stadium 1 at Indian Wells Tennis Garden on Sunday evening with a 19-match winning streak behind him, confidence flowing in his veins. He was the in-form player on the tour, a champion who has established himself as the best hard court player of his generation. And yet, in the end, none of that mattered. Forty-five minutes into the final, he was completely out of ideas.
That is simply the power of Carlos Alcaraz, a special generational talent who at 19 years old continues to produce greatness seemingly every time he steps on the court. After a brutal few months of injuries, Alcaraz re-established himself at the top with a statement victory, demolishing Medvedev 6-3, 6-2 to win the Indian Wells title and clinch his first big win since becoming US Open champion.

Washingtonas power is suddenly threatened by a newly confident China and disquiet among leaders in the global south
Itas a useful coincidence that the 20th anniversary of George W Bush and Tony Blairas illegal attack on Iraq falls only a matter of weeks after the anniversary of Vladimir Putinas illegal attack on Ukraine. Neither war was authorised by the UN. Both are marked by massive destruction and huge loss of life.
The Bush/Blair invasion and occupation of Iraq, and its chaotic consequences, have taken the lives of more than a million Iraqi civilians, according to one survey. US forces committed innumerable war crimes, not least the torture of captured soldiers. At the Abu Ghraib detention centre near Baghdad, US officers humiliated Iraqi prisoners in violation of the Geneva conventions. The invasion provoked widespread resistance, but US counter-insurgency tactics involved raids on villages that led to massacres of unarmed civilians.

The actor grew up in an alleged cult and was expelled after her explicit role in Breaking the Waves. She discusses method acting, the #MeToo movement and mixing work and family
Emily Watson had big plans to turn up for our interview looking immaculately made up, but then family members started getting sick and her morning fell apart. aWhen my husbandas ill, chaos descends,a she says, with a sigh. Despite this, she doesnat seem ruffled. If anything, she is serene and calm, her skin glowing and those expressive blue eyes as piercing and soulful in life as they are on screen.
We meet at the BFI Southbank in London, a regular haunt of hers over the years, to talk about her new film Godas Creatures. Dressed in a short black dress, a black corduroy jacket and a black and white scarf, she has a gentle presence. In the film, she plays Aileen, a devoted mother whose love for her son, Brian (Paul Mescal), is tested when he is accused of rape by an old flame, Sarah (Aisling Franciosi).

I Wanna Be Yours, a love poem that rhymes Ford Cortina with vacuum cleaner, has been a school text and a wedding staple. But now, thanks to TikTok and Arctic Monkeys, it has gone spectacularly global. So who was it written for?
Forget TS Eliotas The Waste Land, Philip Larkinas High Windows and Sylvia Plathas Lady Lazarus. While those works may have more cultural heft, for sheer popularity no 20th-century British poem can touch John Cooper Clarkeas I Wanna Be Yours. In this love poem, to prove his devotion, an abject Clarke offers to metamorphose into everyday items: aI wanna be your vacuum cleaner, breathing in your dust / I wanna be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust.a The work became an irreverent favourite at weddings soon after being written in 1982, and its addition to the GCSE English syllabus in the 1990s brought it to a younger generation. One of those studying it was Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, who later said: aIt made my ears prick up in the classroom, because it was nothing like anything Iad heard.a Turner eventually adapted it into the ballad that closes out the bandas most successful album, 2013as AM.
Thanks in part to another new audience, teens finding it on TikTok, the bandas version of I Wanna Be Yours is now wildly, improbably popular: it will clock up its billionth stream on Spotify this week, having spent months on the platformas Top 50 songs chart, not in the UK but globally. This slow ballad, with Clarkeas poetry referencing setting lotion and electricity meters, sticks out a mile next to K-pop and Puerto Rican reggaeton. Spotify says the song is most popular in the US, Indonesia, Mexico and Brazil; the bandas label Domino says the songas popularity is particularly growing in India, the Philippines and Turkey. If it was previously Britainas favourite wedding poem, itas now quantifiably the worldas favourite British poem, full stop.

Ma Ying-jeouas tour is the first since the end of the civil war in 1949 and comes amid intensifying efforts by Beijing to subsume Taiwan as a province
Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwanas former president, will visit China this month in the first visit by a current or former leader since the defeated Nationalist Chinese government fled to the island at the end of the civil war in 1949.
The high profile visit has been presented by Ma and his party, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), as a chance to boost friendly cross-strait exchanges at a time of extreme disconnection, which has been driven by Beijingas plans to annex Taiwan and exacerbated by the pandemic. However it is also likely to fuel domestic political division between the KMT and ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) over relations with China.
