A Europa precisa de verdade e reconciliação

Vinte anos passados sobre a Convenção sobre a Proteção da Diversidade das Expressões Culturais, os valores aí defendidos parecem ter-se sumido do discurso e da ação de quem tanto por eles se bateu. Opinião de Mário Vieira de Carvalho

Identidade de género não é um problema médico

Identidade de género e sexo não são a mesma questão. E talvez grande parte da dificuldade legislativa resulte precisamente de se pretender resolvê-las como se fossem. Opinião de José Torres da Costa

A fancaria Garrett

A Rua Garrett, “espinha dorsal” de um Chiado em crescente plastificação, dá hoje um triste espectáculo a quem insiste em nela procurar memórias e locais varridos pela “modernidade” Opinião de Paulo Ferrero

A democracia, os partidos e o populismo

Os partidos políticos de esquerda e de centro-esquerda, de centro-direita e de direita, precisam de se repensar para defender melhor e mais a democracia e o multilateralismo. Opinião de João Paulo Avelãs Nunes

Livros de um verão

Ora aí está o propósito da leitura: autorizar uma viagem infinita. Além de que, parafraseando uma velha canção de Caetano, são os livros que nos impedem de nos atirarmos pela janela.

What does Met’s U-turn on John Galliano augur for him, the gala and Anna Wintour?

NYC’s elite figures, led by Julie Menin, made Wintour blink, and the designer who in 2011 had gone on a drunken antisemitic rant, bowed out of industry’s biggest event

Did Anna Wintour, Vogue’s long-serving fashion titan and ringmaster of the annual Met Gala, meet her match in Julie Menin, the speaker of New York’s city council?

The museum is the crown jewel of the wealthy neighborhood and some residents hold significant sway at the institution, financially and in terms of the art they plan to bequeath to it. So when it was announced late in July on a Friday afternoon that Galliano would be the focus of the Met Gala next year, it left many stunned.

Reform continues to cast doubt on climate science. Do its supporters agree?

Climate scepticism is common at the Reform party conference, but many also criticise Labour for failing to protect Britons from hot weather

On the second day of the Reform UK conference, in the wake of an undercover investigation alleging party officials plotted to evade the law on foreign donations, the deputy leader, Richard Tice, addressed the audience. Within minutes, a banner appeared behind him reading: “Collect £5m, burn the planet.”

It was taken down promptly and Tice, who has repeatedly called on people to enjoy the summer’s five successive heatwaves and record drought, rolled on. As Reform members at the Birmingham venue applauded Tice, there was plenty of agreement with his views. “I enjoyed the heat this summer,” said Jeanette Bowden, of Bexley. “I don’t think people need telling to take care of themselves.” Her partner, James, added, without scientific backing: “Carbon dioxide was much higher in the past, it was 10 times higher than this during the ice ages. It’s not a human problem.”

When were you happiest?
Purely and unconsciously, living on Greece’s Paros aged 25. Exhausted and happy, when our babies were small.

Meera Sodha’s vegetarian recipe for kacang pool, or Malaysian bean stew

A delicious and triumphant blend of Levantine and Malay cuisines

This is a dish with roots in ancient Egypt. There, it started life as ful medames, the famous fava bean dish lightly seasoned with cumin, garlic and lemon. Then it was, reportedly, brought to Johor in Malaysia by Arab traders. It has since been adopted and adapted with a fierce sort of love, plus more spice and a tin of baked beans. I adore it. It’s a very delicious dinner and a triumphant blend of two cuisines.
