Decía Carlos Alcaraz que busca ritmo, que necesita recuperar esa velocidad de crucero que tenía a principios de curso y que eso, al fin y al cabo, tan solo se consigue a base de jugar y jugar. De ahí ese gesto feliz tras el pulso con Tommy Paul, nutritivo desde todos los ángulos: confianza, nivel, físico y, también, esa continuidad que en las últimas intervenciones se había hecho de rogar. No esta vez, resuelto el episodio con una actuación notable (6-4 y 7-6(2), en 1h 50m) que le guía hacia el penúltimo peldaño del torneo de Viena, donde el sábado (15.00, Movistar+) le espera el inquietante Daniil Medvedev (6-2 y 6-3 a Adrian Mannarino). Se busca el murciano y va encontrándose. Sonaba antes el Volare de los Gipsy Kings, muy acorde a una tarde de puro disfrute.
Swedish climate academic says he has been ‘kept in the dark’ over Home Office decision to revoke his travel authorisation
The Swedish climate academic Andreas Malm has condemned a travel ban imposed on him by the UK government as a “drift into authoritarianism” amid criticism of the move.
Malm, the author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, said he had been “kept in the dark” by the UK’s immigration authorities over the reasons for his electronic travel authorisation (ETA) being revoked.
Downing Street has paid tribute to Patrick Stewart following the actor’s death. At the daily lobby briefing, the PM’s spokesperson gave a comment that was a bit more extensive than the usual No 10 contribution when a great British celebrity dies. The spokesperson said that was because Andy Burnham feels strongly about the importance of actors.
The spokesperson said:
The prime minister was very sad to hear of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.
As a former culture secretary he knows how much Britain’s greatest actors mean to the country, and Sir Patrick was one of the very best.
Just a reminder that when it comes to Wales, we are not comparing like with like. The term ‘region’ in an English context typically refers to an area covering between 1.5 and 3 million people. In Wales, regions cover much less dense areas. The Swansea Bay city region captures some 700,000 people, and similarly North Wales around 690,000 people. In Mid-Wales sheep outnumber people by 7:1. Only the Cardiff city region is comparable to English tiers, and even then at the lower end: around 1.5 million people.
Transposing an English mayoral worldview onto a very different political geography just doesn’t work. Wales may be a similar population size to the PM’s old manor but that’s where the parallel ends.
Andy Burnham talks about the regions of England and Wales interchangeably but the role the new prime minister champions for metro mayors is, in many respects, already performed by the Welsh government. Powers over skills, employment support, economic development, housing investment and major spending programmes sit at an all-Wales strategic level (covering a similar population size to Greater Manchester.)
His argument for England is that powers should flow from Westminster to city regions because they operate at an economically meaningful scale. Yet when the PM turns to Wales, he seems to suggest that powers already devolved to Cardiff Bay should be dispersed further down the system.
But notably he is not calling on his successor as the mayor of Greater Manchester, Bev Craig, to fragment the powers of the Greater Manchester combined authority and redistribute them amongst its ten constituent councils. On the contrary, the whole logic of the Greater Manchester model rests on concentrating strategic authority at a regional level.
Yet the implication of his comments is that Wales should move in the opposite direction.
Britain must prepare for a decade of pain as the country faces the worst decade for household income on record after John Healey’s "tinkering" Budget, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned.
Fin 2024, des dizaines de milliers de Géorgiens pro-européens manifestaient contre la loi sur les agents étrangers et les résultats contestés des élections législatives, remportées par le parti au pouvoir, Rêve géorgien. Quelques semaines plus tard, les autorités annonçaient la suspension du processus d’adhésion à l’Union européenne. Malgré la répression, des manifestations, plus modestes, se poursuivent chaque jour à Tbilissi.

Housing secretary says Labour wants to reverse fortunes of towns plagued by boarded-up shops and rogue businesses
Angela Rayner has said voters will begin to see a difference in their high street before the next general election as Labour prioritises investment in struggling local communities.
The housing secretary said the government had made it a top priority before the country goes to the polls to begin turning around the fortunes of places blighted by boarded-up shops and rogue businesses.
Ex-energy secretary Ed Miliband’s agenda appears undermined as money is diverted from renewables to defence
Britain is unlikely to hit its targets on green heating after the cuts announced by John Healey this week, experts have warned, as critics of Ed Miliband claim the former energy secretary’s green agenda is being dismantled.
The chancellor unveiled more than £3bn worth of cuts to the energy department’s budget this week, much of which will pay for higher defence spending.

Prime minister says room for manoeuvre was limited by geopolitical crises and Labour’s 2024 manifesto
Andy Burnham has admitted his first budget as prime minister was not as radical as he would have liked because of the economic uncertainty facing the country.
He said he would have liked to have gone further with this week’s announcement – including with higher energy support payments – but felt hemmed in by external events such as the war in Iran, which has pushed up borrowing costs.
Paul Nowak says ‘hundreds, if not thousands’ of employers could sign access agreements as ‘transformative’ rules come into force
The TUC general secretary, Paul Nowak, is predicting a wave of union recognition deals in the private sector over the next year as “transformative” rules on accessing workplaces come into force.
From Friday, as part of Labour’s Employment Rights Act, unions will have the right to enter workplaces or communicate with staff electronically. From January, employers will be obliged to inform workers of their right to join a union.
Alex Rodriguez says baseball taught him to be resilient.

Alex Rodriguez says baseball gave him a "Ph.D. in failing."
He says the teams that win aren't always the ones with the biggest or most talented stars.
He now brings that same resilience to running his investment firm.
Alex Rodriguez says baseball taught him the value of failure.
Speaking on Friday's episode of "The Sebastian Maniscalco Show," Rodriguez said his professional baseball career shaped his approach to managing his business, A-Rod Corp.
"I think the greatest thing that I've learned from sports is to develop thick skin, because baseball specifically is a major sport of failure," Rodriguez said.
The former baseball player said he ranks fifth all-time in strikeouts in the history of the game.
"That means only four people in the history of mankind have failed more than me, right?" Rodriguez said. "I often tell my girls I have a Ph.D. in failing, but I also have a master's in getting back up."
He said the key is to keep coming back and trying again. No matter how many missed hits or strikeouts came before, each new at-bat is a fresh chance, he said.
"That's a real gift, and I think that this generation of young kids lacks that a little bit," Rodriguez said.
He also said success requires a strong work ethic, a team with complementary skills, and the ability to work together toward a shared goal.
Rodriguez then referenced a quote that resonated with him. "Great players often don't win championships. The best teams do, even though they may not have the most talent," he said.
"I'm a big believer in that," he added.
Rodriguez is not alone in seeing setbacks as part of the path to success.
"When you lose a deal or you didn't manage to close the deal, then you dive into it — where did it go wrong?" Burkhardt said. "Failure is something you should embrace when you play sports or when you're building a business to get better."
Conan O'Brien has similarly said that his long career has depended on treating setbacks as a way to reset and look ahead.
"It keeps happening over and over and over again, and then it's just learning to roll with it and say, OK, what's my next opportunity? Reset, recommit, and look for the next opportunity," O'Brien said in a March podcast appearance.
Hope es un espectáculo bestial. En este caso, de trepidante y furiosa acción ante la amenaza aniquiladora de unos seres muy extraños. El título no hace alusión a ninguna esperanza, sino al nombre del pueblo que un día amanece literalmente patas arriba cuando una fuerza ingobernable lo destruye todo. La primera hora de Hope, que empieza con el jefe de policía local a pocos kilómetros del pueblo examinando a una res destrozada por las garras de un animal desconocido, es una delirante persecución sin respiro dentro del laberinto de calles, tiendas, oficinas y mercados del pueblo destruido. Un ejemplo asombroso del arte del exceso.
