Christina Brown was 18 years old the first time she had to correct a doctor when advocating for health.⁠
⁠
Breast cancer runs in her family, so she had been taught early by relatives how to examine her own body – what was normal, what wasn’t and when something warranted attention. When she found a lump in her breast in September 2014, she didn’t hesitate. She went to a doctor.⁠
⁠
“I literally had to grab their hands and show them where the lump was, and they would be surprised and then just pass me to the next doctor to do the exact same thing,” Brown said. It took four rounds of this before anyone agreed to schedule a biopsy. By then, months had passed.⁠
⁠
That experience reshaped how Brown approached medical care: it taught her that knowing her body better than the experts is vital. Additionally, it prompted her to seek out Black doctors whenever possible because she figured a Black physician would be more likely to believe her the first time around. A 2023 survey found that Black patients who have more visits with Black healthcare providers report having more positive medical experiences.⁠
⁠
Brown’s story is not unique. Across gynecology, primary care, and reproductive health, many Black women describe navigating medical care as a nightmare.⁠

In a backlash to the “gentle parenting” trend of the last decade, Fafo parenting is on the rise.

Across social media, parents are sharing their “Fuck around and find out” techniques, including one who threw her daughter’s iPad out of the window when she was misbehaving on the way to school.

The parent’s video has been watched 4.9m times, with comments congratulating her. One person wrote: “Learning Fafo at an early age: top tier parenting.”

However, experts say proper parenting doesn’t have to be one or the other. True gentle parenting embraces boundaries and consequences, and Fafo doesn’t have to be punishing.

But in this online-influenced child rearing world where extremes are pushed, nuance is out and polarization is in.

“The risk is that it swings the pendulum from over-involvement to under-responsiveness, and even punitive withdrawal,” says Dr Emma Svanberg, a psychologist and author of Parenting for Humans.

Portugal is under pressure to draw up plans to adapt to the climate emergency as the country continues to be lashed by an unprecedented series of storms that have killed at least 16 people and left tens of thousands without electricity.
More than 3,000 people were evacuated from the Coimbra area of central Portugal on Wednesday as the Mondego River reached critical levels, while part of the country’s main motorway, the A1, collapsed after a dyke on the Mondego gave way under the weight of flood water.

Hundreds more people have been displaced across the country since what scientists have called the “longest train of storms within living memory” began at the end of January. The extreme weather, which has affected central and southern parts of the country, has cut off power to 33,000 people and caused an estimated €775m (£675m) of damage.

The Department of Homeland Security has begun a partial shutdown, after funding for the much-criticized agency expired, with a range of services, including domestic flights and the US Coastguard, now vulnerable to disruption.

The shutdown was all but confirmed on Thursday, after the Senate failed to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the DHS appropriations bill and lawmakers left Washington for a long weekend without resolving the impasse.

'Palestine Action is back!' ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDw7J...
The list of those who criticised the ban on Palestine Action and its consequences was disparate to say the least, taking in a Trump administration official, a former director of public prosecutions, a former director of the security services, Home Office officials, politicians of different stripes, and UN experts, not to mention a host of NGOs.

Now a trio of senior judges can be added to the list, after they deemed the ban to be “disproportionate” and impinging on freedom of speech and protest when the direct action group’s activities could be targeted under the existing criminal law.

The Foreign Office has blamed the Russian state for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, which it said was the result of poisoning from a dart frog toxin.

The frog poison – called epibatidine – is said to have been used when Navalny, 47, died suddenly on 16 February 2024.

Yulia Navalnaya, the Russian dissident’s widow, announced the finding at a press conference at the Munich security conference. She was flanked by the foreign ministers of the UK, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. Navalnaya announced her husband’s death at the same gathering in 2024.

The co-founder of Palestine Action has said the ban on the group “massively backfired” and called for its proscription to be suspended after the high court found it to be unlawful.

Three senior judges ruled on Friday that the ban was disproportionate and constituted very serious interference with the rights to protest and free speech.

Back in 2008, Cristina Mittermeier was trying to make a name for herself as a photographer. Having bought a small camera at a market in Yunnan Province, China, she spotted a woman walking past a very dark opening in a building with a goose on her head. The image is considered to be one of her most iconic pieces of work.

Since then Mittermeier has made a name for herself as a conservationist, biologist and author - but this image is still one that makes her smile: ‘I love it because it’s quirky. It makes me smile. Later, I found out that the goose wasn’t destined to become food. It was a pet being taken for a walk’

The photograph is among others featured in Mittermeier’s show A Greater Wisdom, which celebrates the beauty of our planet - and highlights the biggest threats it faces.
