I'm a doctor and I've seen racism against NHS staff increasing

“It seems like there is such an increase in events like this - with people of colour feeling unsafe coming to the workplace, which is about nurturing, caring for and nourishing the general public”, says *A, an NHS doctor in the north of England. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 She says she has seen racist incidents targeted at her colleagues, and herself, rising – and she’s not alone. Earlier this month, the health secretary and the NHS England chief warned that an “ugly” racism reminiscent of the 1970s and 1980s has become worryingly commonplace again in modern Britain and NHS staff, 30% of whom are from a minority ethnic background, according to the healthcare service in England, are bearing the brunt of it. “It’s shocking to see the levels of racism within our communities and across modern Britain today – levels that we have not witnessed for decades. We know our NHS is not immune from this scourge because it is a microcosm of wider society”, said Prof Habib Naqvi, the chief executive of the NHS Race and Health Observatory. As patients are warned of long waiting times and understaffing this winter, *A says she understands that “everyone is feeling a little bit let down”. “It affects us just as much as it affects you because we want to be able to provide a better system,” she says. “[But] I think that nobody works in the NHS unless they care … and that’s something really important to consider when accessing the public health service.” Watch to find out more about *A’s experiences, what she thinks should change – and head to the link in bio to read more amid warning of winter pressures and rising levels of abuse. *A’s name has been withheld at her request.

'Poverty is exploding': Why these millionaires are asking to be taxed more

Do you think millionaires should pay more tax? Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 On a cold and rainy day, outside the Houses of Parliament, the group Patriotic Millionaires gathered by a bus splashed with the words ‘Tax us, the super-rich’. Their campaign is aimed at getting the government to increase taxes for the super-rich ahead of the upcoming budget. “This is the only way to stop the cost of living crisis“ said economist and YouTuber @garyseconomics, who says the low tax burden on the wealthy is helping fuel the problem of growing inequality in the UK. “What I would like us to have is an honest and open conversation about how do you tax the rich more fairly in a way that is effective”, he says. The gap between the richest and poorest 10% in the UK is now the highest in the developed world, apart from the US, according to a report by the Fairness Foundation. Since 2020, at least one local public service or facility has been shut down every three days because of budget cuts, according to recently published research from Patriotic Millionaires obtained by freedom of information requests to councils across the UK “We are literally at the point where our services are starting to break down””said firefighter Gavin Lynch, who came to support the campaign. “So one of the most feasible ways of supporting our public services is by getting the rich to pay more because they've got broader shoulders.”

Why AI slop video apps could kill online truth

Has an AI video caught you out recently? Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The internet is in its AI slop era – and tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker thinks we should be paying a lot more attention. Stokel Walker has covered AI for years, and has been teaching people how to spot a fake. Then he saw Sora 2 – a new OpenAI tool for creating highly realistic AI videos. “We have this alternative reality that’s just a few phone taps away” says Stokel-Walker. While Sora 2 is currently only available in select countries including the United States and Japan, Stokel-Walker says it’s a “godsend” for people who want to muddy what’s true on the internet. It used to be that to prove something was true, we’d say “show me the video evidence”, he says. “Now that’s no longer the case.” Combined with a recent study by the cyber security company Imperva, which claims that almost 50% of internet traffic comes from non-human sources, what we think of as true and human online is increasingly being challenged. Watch to find out more, and to read about the vast global investment in AI datacentres – and whether this is a bubble waiting to burst – tap the link ► https://ift.tt/GgraLUj On OpenAI’s webpage ‘Launching Sora responsibly’, the company says that “every video generated with Sora includes both visible and invisible provenance signals”, including watermarks and C2PA metadata, as well as internal reverse-image and audio search tools that can trace videos back to Sora. They also stated they have "guardrails intended to ensure that your audio and image likeness are used with your consent”. When approached by Mashable about the potential of Veo 3 to be used for misinformation, a representative from Google DeepMind, said all content generated by Google’s AI tools have a digital watermark embedded directly the pixels of all of their content, and that they’ve launched a verification portal to identify AI-generated content made with Google AI . Visible watermarks have also since been added to videos made with Veo 3. #aislop #truth #ai #artificialintelligence #deepmind #mashable #veo3 #sora2 #openai

Why hurricanes should be named after oil bosses

After Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday – the most powerful storm to strike the island since record-keeping began in 1851 – debate reignited over where the blame should lie. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The British-Jamaican climate author Mikaela Loach explains: “Instead of calling hurricanes nice, feminine names like Melissa. Instead we should name them after those who are responsible. So, for example, we can name Hurricane Darren after Darren Woods, the CEO of ExxonMobil, who pushes climate delay and climate denial.” With 185mph winds and torrential rain, Melissa knocked out power lines, cut off the internet and demolished buildings – prompting some experts to suggest the extraordinary intensification of the hurricane may be a symptom of the rapidly heating oceans. Researchers at Climate Central, a nonprofit organisation that analyses climate science, found that during Melissa’s rapid intensification the storm drifted over exceptionally warm ocean waters that were 1.4C hotter than average. These conditions were made up to 700 times more likely by the climate crisis, the organisation said. Fossil fuel companies have played the biggest role in hindering efforts to curb the pace of global heating. ExxonMobil executives privately sought to undermine climate science, even after the oil and gas firm publicly acknowledged the link between fossil fuel emissions and the climate crisis. Last year, oceans were the warmest on record, continuing a recent trend of record-breaking marine heat.

Three questions that threaten the Gaza peace deal

Why are climate-polluting planes cheaper than trains in Europe?

When travelling around Europe you might be wondering – why are trains so much more expensive than planes? Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn According to a recent Greenpeace study, aviation remains one of Europe’s most climate-damaging and unjust forms of transport. Short-haul flights are still cheaper than the equivalent train journeys on the majority of cross-border routes in Europe, creating a perverse incentive that encourages polluting air travel, according to the report published in August. “The environmental cost of planes is huge, with flights emitting five times more carbon per passenger kilometre than trains on average,” said Greenpeace UK’s head of politics, Ami McCarthy. “While climate impacts like heatwaves, droughts and wildfires are causing devastation across the UK and the rest of Europe, the government should not reward the most polluting form of travel.” Watch our Europe environment correspondent – and avid train fan – Ajit Niranjan explain which countries have the biggest disparity and what we can do to help solve this issue and make travelling more green.

'Gaza's children are being starved to death': why I'm trying to break Israel's illegal siege

Thiago Ávila is one of the organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a group of citizens and activists who have set sail towards Gaza carrying humanitarian aid in the hope of breaking the siege of the strip by Israeli forces. Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn In August, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification declared an “entirely man-made” famine taking place in Gaza City and surrounding areas. This month a UN independent commission of inquiry (COI) found that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, citing tens of thousands of civilian deaths and massive destruction, as well as starvation and deaths caused by restrictions on food and medicines. Israel’s foreign ministry said it categorically rejected the report and called for the COI to be abolished. Ávila says: “Right now, we’re seeing a change in the world, we see the people mobilising.” Italian dockworkers in Genoa have threatened to “shut down all of Europe” and block all shipments to Israel if communication with the aid flotilla is lost, while 16 countries have issued a statement demanding protection for the flotilla and respect for international humanitarian law. “People are fed up of seeing children being starved to death, of shelters being bombed, of hospitals being bombed, of schools being bombed,” Ávila says. “It’s important that we make sure people understand that they have the potential to promote change.” #gaza #gazaaid #gazaflotilla #israel #palestine #gazagenocide

Political violence is on the rise in America: ‘It’s a really scary time’

Charlie Kirk’s killing came amid a rise in political violence in the US – and the list of people targeted is long and growing, says our democracy reporter Rachel Leingang. Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn And as the right declared war on the left following the murder of Kirk, the far-right activist and high-profile Donald Trump ally, at a public event on a Utah college campus, Leingang says that this could serve as a dangerous turning point in an increasingly polarised nation. In the first six months of 2025, more than 520 plots and acts of terrorism and targeted violence occurred, affecting nearly all US states and causing 96 deaths and 329 injuries. This is a nearly 40% increase over the first six months of 2024, according to data from the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (Start) at the University of Maryland. Research published by the ADL Center on Extremism in February also found that, despite Trump and his allies’ recent claims about the “radical left”, all extremist-related killings in the US in 2024 were connected to rightwing extremism. “The warning signs of growing civil unrest in the US are evident,” wrote Michael Jensen, the research director at Start, on LinkedIn in late August. Watch Leingang explain how an increasing polarisation between the left and the right is worsening the threat and why more people believe violence is the way to achieve political goals.

Notting Hill Carnival ‘means freedom to me’

Notting Hill Carnival has arrived, taking over the August Bank Holiday once again. Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Now in its sixth decade, it’s the largest festival of its kind in Europe - a vibrant celebration of Black British culture and a cornerstone of London’s identity. Each year, it draws crowds from across the world with its spectacular parades, powerful sound systems, and dazzling mas (masquerade) bands. This year, Kensington and Chelsea council and Westminster city council have allocated an extra £1m to improve safety, following recommendations from an independent review. We spoke to our colleague Mel Christian, who has been part of Carnival for most of her life, to get a behind-the-scenes look at the months of preparation that go into the mas bands - and to hear what the festival means to her.

I'm clearing plastic 'tsunamis' from Guatemala's rivers – here's what needs to change

Ever wonder where your plastic rubbish ends up after you throw it away? Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Eight billion tonnes of plastic waste are now polluting the entire planet, from the top of Mount Everest to the deepest ocean trench, according to a recent review published in the Lancet. And while countries and companies came together this week for the final round of talks on what would have been the world’s first treaty to limit plastic pollution, talks failed on Thursday after deadlock over whether it should reduce exponential growth of plastic production and put global, legally binding controls on toxic chemicals used to make plastics. In Guatemala, Guillermo Sosa has seen first-hand how plastic is choking the planet from his work clearing ‘trash tsunamis’ surging from the capital city to the rivers around it. It’s a job he’s worried he’s going to be doing for a long time. “This is the result – our rivers, oceans contaminated” says Sosa, operations manager at non-profit @theoceancleanup whose mission is to halt the trash flow from rivers, and remove legacy plastics from the oceans. It is estimated that roughly 40% of the ocean’s surface is covered in plastic debris and if our plastic consumption and behaviour continues, scientists warn that there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean as soon as 2030. Plastics are a “grave, growing and under-recognised danger” to human and planetary health, a new expert review has warned. The driver of the crisis is a huge acceleration of plastic production, which is set to almost triple to more than a billion tonnes a year by 2060 – especially single use.

How Gaza food sites became deadly for Palestinians

A Guardian investigation analysing visual evidence, bullets, medical data and patterns of injuries from two hospitals in Gaza, as well as interviews with medical organisations, surgeons and survivors, across approximately 50 days of food distribution, appears to show a sustained Israeli pattern of firing on Palestinians seeking food. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Manisha Ganguly, our visual forensics lead and investigations correspondent, has spent two months collecting evidence and studying more than 30 videos of gunfire near food distribution sites run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). She found Palestinians seeking aid were being indiscriminately shot at by the Israeli military. Over the 48 days investigated, more than 2,000 people were injured and hundreds killed, mostly by gunshots. The Guardian collected photos of eight bullets from doctors at Nasser hospital and showed these images to weapons experts. One was found to be definitely Israeli, another could belong to either Israeli or Hamas snipers and the other six were high-velocity military issue. Ganguly recorded Israeli fire near food distribution sites on at least 11 days. For most incidents, the Israeli military said it fired ‘warning shots’. A legal expert said the Guardian’s findings showed the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] had possibly breached the Geneva conventions. The IDF said its forces had opened fire on a group of people they viewed as a threat but denied targeting civilians, adding it was investigating the events.

Opposing the UK’s new online safety law doesn’t put me on the side of predators

Have you been asked for your ID to access a website recently? If you’re in the UK, that might have happened because of the recent Online Safety Act, a landmark piece of legislation that came into effect in late July. It requires social media sites and other internet platforms to implement safety measures – designed to stop children seeing inappropriate content – or face large fines. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn “Very few people would dispute the goals behind the Online Safety Act: to try and protect children from seeing content that they ought not to,” says technology journalist Chris Stokel-Walker. Under the act, social media platforms and large search engines must prevent children accessing pornography and material that promotes or encourages suicide, self-harm and eating disorders. This content must be kept off children’s feeds entirely. However, campaigners fear that the broad strokes of the bill could silence vulnerable communities, stifle political speech and create massive new databases of personal data. Criticism of the bill has become "intensely politicised”, say Stokel-Walker. Donald Trump’s allies have dubbed it the “UK’s online censorship law”, and the technology secretary, Peter Kyle, added fuel to the fire by claiming that Nigel Farage’s opposition to the act put him “on the side” of the notorious sex offender Jimmy Savile. But, “we should consider it less as a culture wars issue and more as a civil liberties issue”, says Stokel-Walker. Watch this video to learn more. Want to read in-depth about another perspective?

Divided Jerusalem: Along the Green Line

Since the war in Gaza and the expanding occupation of the West Bank, a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians feels more distant than ever. Watch the full episode ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEiL_5h14pY Subscribe ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn In this three-part Guardian series, reporter Matthew Cassel travels along the 1949 Armistice border, or ‘Green Line’, drawn in the 20th century to separate Israel from the West Bank and Gaza, which was once seen as the best hope for a resolution. “Reporting in the Middle East for over 20 years, I’ve seen the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians deepen, shift, and return to the same painful questions again and again," says Cassel. He meets Palestinians and Israelis living just kilometres apart, but shaped by vastly different realities, to discover whether peace is still possible and what future they envision. This first episode begins in Jerusalem, a city at the heart of the conflict. Episode two will be released on Thursday 19 June. #jerusalem #eastjerusalem #alongthegreenline #israel #palestine #westbank #gaza #middleeast

Why Israel’s US-backed Gaza aid plan is so deadly

“This is a trap for us, not aid,” Adham Dahman told Associated Press after at least four were killed by Israeli fire near Gaza food point on Sunday. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn There have been frequent shootings in the past two weeks near the new hubs, where thousands of Palestinians are being directed to collect food. Since 27 May, when the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) became responsible for civilian food provision, more than 110 people have been killed and more than 1,000 people have been injured. The GHF announced on Wednesday that its operations would be suspended for 24 hours after Israeli troops opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians, as it pressed Israel to improve civilian safety beyond the perimeter of its distribution sites. A GHF spokesperson said there had been “no incident at or in [the] surrounding vicinity” of any distribution site. The UN and other humanitarian organisations have rejected the new system, saying the GHF will not be able to meet the needs of Gaza’s 2.3 million people and that it allows Israel to use food as a weapon to control the population. A global hunger monitor said in May that half a million people in the strip faced starvation. Israel began bombing Gaza on 7 October 2023, after Hamas crossed the border into Israel, killed approximately 1,200 people and took 251 others hostage to Gaza. Israel’s attacks on Gaza since then have killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women, children and elderly people, and injured more than 125,000, according to health authorities in the territory, whose figures have proved accurate in past conflicts. We asked Chris Newton, a senior analyst at Crisis Group, an international think tank, why the controversial US-backed Israeli aid plan for Gaza is so deadly. #gaza #gazaaid #gazaaidcrisis #palestine #israel #gazafamine #gazafoodshortages #gazahumanitarianfoundation #food

Saudi Arabia’s secretive rehabilitation ‘prisons’ for disobedient women

“Every girl growing up in Saudi knows about Dar al-Reaya and how awful it is. It’s like hell. I tried to end my life when I found out I was going to be taken to one. I knew what happened to women there and thought I can’t survive it.” Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn This is what one young Saudi woman who fled into exile told our reporter Deepa Parent about her experience of one of Saudi Arabia’s notoriously secretive Dar al-Reaya, which are so-called “care homes”, to where women are banished by their families or husbands for crimes such as disobeying the male members of their families, so they can be “rehabilitated” and returned to their families. Activists say these institutions, which they refer to as “prisons”, are one of the regime’s lesser-known tools for controlling and punishing women, and they want them to be abolished. Speaking out in public or sharing footage of these Dar al-Reaya has become impossible in a country where voices on women’s rights appear to have been silenced. But over the past six months, the Guardian has gathered testimony about what it is like inside these institutions, where girls and young women describe facing flogging and abuse. A Saudi government spokesperson said there was a network of specialised care facilities that supported vulnerable groups, including women and children affected by domestic violence. It categorically rejected claims of enforced confinement, mistreatment or coercion.

I’m a UN aid worker in a warehouse full of supplies being blocked from entering Gaza

While aid has started to trickle into Gaza, reaching some of the most vulnerable people and areas, the level is totally inadequate for the needs of the territory’s 2.1 million people, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, has said. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/subscribegdn Charities have warned that thousands of people are on the brink of famine because of the Israeli blockade on aid, which, after months, was eased earlier this week amid growing international pressure. Israel imposed the blockade on all supplies in March, saying Hamas was seizing deliveries for its fighters – a charge Hamas denies. A total of 107 trucks carrying flour, food, medical equipment and pharmaceutical drugs from the UN and other agencies were allowed into the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the Israeli military has said. However, the UN says about 500 aid lorries entered Gaza every day on average before the war began, and that about 600 a day are needed to begin tackling the territory’s widespread humanitarian needs. Earlier this month, a global hunger monitor said half a million people in Gaza face starvation. In a warehouse in Amman, Jordan, where supplies have been held up during the 11-week siege, the Unrwa senior emergency officer Louise Wateridge warns that “letting a few supplies in at a drip and a drop is not going to make a difference. All of these supplies need to enter now”. “These aid supplies are just one problem that people in Gaza are facing right now on [top of] the many horrors that they have on a day to day basis,” Wateridge says. “The only certainty that we have is if these supplies don't get to the people soon, more people will die.” #gaza #palestine #israel #gazawar #gazaaid #gazafamine #gazafoodshortages
