David Beckham has handed over control of his Instagram account to a Ukrainian doctor working in the city of Kharkiv. Throughout Sunday, the former footballer’s Instagram Stories were inundated with videos and photographs following Iryna, a child anaesthesiologist and head of the regional perinatal centre, through a day at work in the midst of the conflict. Iryna showed Beckham’s 71.5 million follo
The fragile face of mask-ulinityIsaac Newton is widely considered to have had a very productive plague. During two years of social distancing on a farm he came up with important new mathematical insights and started formulating his theory of gravity. My own quarantine experience has largely consisted of attempting to complete Netflix. However, last week I decided to channel Newton and conduct some

After all, BBC One’s Japan With Sue Perkins, which aired last month, was only the latest in a long run of British TV programmes inviting us to boggle at the east Asian country. These shows always feature a shot of the aforementioned Shibuya Crossing, items on AI and sumo wrestling, and a concerned interview with an undersexed young man (sometimes called otaku) and/or an overexcited young woman (so
At least 53 people died, according to government figures, but the Kyodo news agency has put the death toll at 69. The two men had sought refuge at a shelter in Taito, northern Tokyo, but were turned away because the shelters were meant for residents of the ward, a Taito spokesman said. Abe told parliament the men should have been given refuge. “Shelters are supposed to be set up for the purpose of
Often, end-of-life statements such as these are suffused with a sense of guilt. But Pomsel is unrepentant. As she holds court, gesticulating wildly, with a broad grin on her face, it seems as if she even takes something restorative from her insistence that she simply acted the same way as most other Germans. “Those people nowadays who say they would have stood up against the Nazis – I believe they

It could be gamechanging for both film producers and audiences, said Ganna Pogrebna, a professor of behavioural economics and data science at the University of Birmingham, who led the research team. “We know that when we talk about movie production it is a small group of people that make decisions for the viewers. We were essentially trying to listen to the viewer, to see what they actually want.”
After Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed coming of age tale, the actor is set to star as Caitlin Moran’s fictional alter-ego in How to Build a Girl. Here she talks about her brother Jonah Hill and how she got that unusual name Picture who might play the fictional alter ego of journalist and author Caitlin Moran, and a teetotal Jewish non-smoker from Los Angeles probably doesn’t spring immediately to mind.

Now experts say they have the answer: over time the Bajau people have undergone natural selection, resulting in certain versions of genes becoming widespread – many of which are linked to biological changes, including having a larger spleen, that could help the Bajau to hold their breath underwater for many minutes at a time. The team say the findings could eventually prove useful in medical setti
