Durham Pride's funding was cut by Reform UK. Then the community – and the miners – stepped in

“Pride: One. Reform: Nil.” said one attendee at Durham Pride. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The Pride event that took place last weekend in the northern English city almost didn’t happen. When Reform UK won control of Durham county council last year, one of their first moves in power was to take down the rainbow flag that flew over its headquarters. Soon after, it announced the council would axe funding for the city’s Pride event. But in a testament to the enduring relationship forged during the miners’ strikes of the 1980s – immortalised in the 2014 film Pride – this year’s event was bigger and better than ever, thanks to funding from trade unions and the local community. “This year has really shown us that there’s so much support and love for LGBT+ people,” said Mel Metcalf, who founded Durham Pride in 2014. Watch to hear what participants had to say about this year’s parade and read more about the day from our North of England correspondent Hannah Al-Othman via the link in bio. #durhampride #pride #miners #uk #reformuk #politics

The centuries-old Indian game bringing people together

We’ve got over 800 people trying to get tickets tonight,” says Abdus Khan, the founder of ‘Karrom’, “but we whittle that down to 44 lucky players.” Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 Khan runs a London-based community evening, bringing people together with a traditional Indian game, carrom. Widely played across South Asia, he describes it as playing pool “but with your fingers”. This tabletop game has evolved and is increasingly played around the world, including the US and the UK. “We now use this game as an exercise to promote diversity in a fragmented world,” Khan says. And it seems to be working. According to Khan, the game has grown into a grassroots movement of more than 12,000 players. His goal is to launch a super league, inspired by franchise models like cricket’s IPL, with ambitions to expand globally. The Guardian went along to one of Khan’s community nights to see how carrom is played and how it’s creating a space for connection offline. #carrom #india #uk #karrom

'How can Lebanon make peace with Israel while I am losing my children?

The people of Lebanon are weary. For years their communities have been caught in a conflict between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah: their homes destroyed; and their communities shattered. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 In the most recent conflict, sparked after the US-Israeli attack on Iran, more than 1.2 million people were displaced from their homes as Israel ordered approximately 14% of Lebanon’s territory to be vacated. And despite a ceasefire, the fighting is not over. Israel still occupies parts of southern Lebanon and insists Hezbollah must disarm in order for there to be peace – a view shared by many Lebanese. Hezbollah, which is designated by large western powers as a terrorist group – is variously characterised as a democratic political party in Lebanon’s parliament, as an organisation that provides social services and other times as a puppet of Iran. Supporters call the group “the resistance” and see the conflict as existential. With communities divided over Hezbollah’s future, reporter Matthew Cassel travels across Lebanon to find out how the conflict is widening divisions and affecting life across the country.
