Can a wealth tax really fix inequality? | Opinion


“A wealth tax is less Swiss Army knife, and more … toothpick.” Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 After decades on the fringe, a wealth tax is now central in politics. Even Andy Burnham, the UK’s new prime minister, will not rule it out. The idea of taxing more of what you own rather than simply what you earn is popular on the left. It helps fight the billionaires, say supporters, tackles chronic inequality - and raises a ton of cash. It sounds great, but the Guardian’s senior economics commentator, Aditya Chakrabortty, is not convinced. #economics #wealthtax #UKnews #ukpolitics

On the ground at India's ‘Cockroach’ protests


The unprecedented expression of dissent against India's government, headed by the prime minister, Narendra Modi, has shown no sign of abating, as protests by the youth-led “cockroach” protest movement entered its fourth day. Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The Guardian’s south Asia correspondent Hannah Ellis-Petersen was on the ground in Delhi, where thousands still thronged the streets, many having travelled hundreds of miles to be there. While the Cockroach Janta party has primarily focused on accountability for the devastating recent leaks of exam papers and called for the resignation of the education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, the overriding feeling as the week develops is that this is now bigger than one issue. For some, this is the moment that India’s youth – totalling more than 600 million – found its political voice.

Why are plastic surgeons being asked to create 'AI face'


"If one were to theoretically do everything [AI] suggests, it would easily be £100,000-plus." Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 That’s what Dr Alex Karidis, a west London plastic surgeon, told Guardian journalist Isaaq Tomkins when he showed him the cosmetic surgery suggestions an AI bot had recommended for him. Plastic surgeons are increasingly concerned about the rise of “AI face”, as more and more clients arrive in their offices with unrealistic AI-generated visions of how they want to look. To better understand the phenomenon, Tomkins asked an AI agent to recommend cosmetic procedures and generate images for Karidis to review. “As I requested increasingly dramatic alterations to my appearance, the agent eventually began warning me about the feasibility of the operations I was proposing,” Tomkins wrote in his article. #AIface #AI #plasticsurgery

What Andy Burnham's win means for the UK: 'This feels like the start of something'


“Normally, at an election count, it feels like the climax, but now this is just the beginning,” said Guardian journalist Hannah Al-Othman, reporting from the election count in Makerfield as Andy Burnham was declared victorious in his bid to return to Westminster as a Labour MP. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The win sets Burnham on an anticipated course to challenge the leadership of British prime minister, Keir Starmer. Starmer has repeatedly said that he intends to remain in post. Lisa Nandy, the culture secretary and a Burnham ally, said: “That wasn’t just a win, that was an emphatic win … It was an astonishing share of the votes, and I think it shows that you can beat hate and division and anger and despair”. During the campaign, the rightwing party Reform UK had been seen as a potential challenge to Labour’s chances in the seat, which is typically considered a stronghold. Burnham sought to demonstrate how Reform UK can be taken on and beaten, saying after the result: “We must now take this up and put this country back on the right path and bring people back together and get things working properly.” Watch Al-Othman’s report from Makerfield and tap the link to read more ► https://ift.tt/LKsPCB8 #makerfield #andyburnham #keirstarmer #labour #uk #politics #makerfieldbyelection

On the ground in Kramatorsk - how this fortress city has held Russia back


Guardian journalists were just around the corner when a Russian drone hit a residential building in Kramatorsk, in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 Peter Beaumont, a senior international reporter, is on the ground in the “fortress Belt” of eastern Ukraine, where for years a costly defensive strategy has prevented Russia making a major breakthrough to territory further west. Cities such as Kramatorsk form one of the main bulwarks against Russia taking all of the Donbas, and, Ukraine fears, having an easier path to Kyiv. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has called on Europe and ⁠the US to increase sanctions on Russia’s defence and energy sectors as well as its broader economy to force President Vladimir Putin to end ‌the war. “If Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn,” Zelenskyy said after overnight Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian capital. #ukraine #russia #ukrainewar #kramatorsk #donbas

Six multinational companies may be 'aiding and abetting' war crimes by supplying equipment to Israel


The Guardian has geolocated and verified images showing the Israeli military using excavators made by six multinational companies – Caterpillar, Volvo, Hyundai, Doosan, Hitachi and Komatsu – to destroy homes, public utilities, shops and other structures across southern Lebanon. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 According to human rights experts, these construction conglomerates may be aiding and abetting war crimes by supplying the excavators and bulldozers to Israel, which itself could be guilty of wanton destruction. The current round of fighting started on 2 March after Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in retaliation for the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, triggering an Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon. After the framework peace deal between the US and Iran was announced, Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted the country’s defence minister, Israel Katz, as having said that “the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza – indefinitely – to defend the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.” Israel has fiercely resisted Lebanon’s inclusion in the deal, where its forces have mounted a sweeping offensive and occupied a swath of land in the south. It is yet to be seen if the Israeli attacks will continue in Lebanon going forward, a red line for Iran and something that will derail peace talks with the US. At least 46 villages in south Lebanon have suffered heavy damage, most due to demolitions carried out after the 17 April Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, according to satellite analysis by Bellingcat. All companies that responded to a request for a comment said their practices were consistent with international and national law and denied any allegations of wrongdoing. Israeli strikes have killed over 3,500 people in Lebanon while Hezbollah have killed at least 30 Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and three Israeli civilians. #israel #lebanon #middleeast
