BBC Sport’s digital revamp poses wider questions about purpose of the corporation

Some staff fear digital approach will pull BBC towards commercial model built around football, leaving minority sports and older TV viewers behind Earlier this month, the BBC conducted a sit-down interview with England’s captain, Harry Kane. In years gone by, a chance to quiz Kane about England’s tournament chances or his Champions League hopes would have made a respectable package for TV news. On this occasion, however, the corporation took a different approach.

Tony Blair would like Andy Burnham to take his advice on rejoining the EU. Should he? | Tom Baldwin

Tony Blair would like Andy Burnham to take his advice on rejoining the EU. Should he? | Tom Baldwin

The former PM has been consulted by many who came after him – but Burnham might want to shake his New Labour past once and for all Tony Blair can, apparently, sound slightly wistful when he describes how he once had a cloak-and-dagger meeting with Andy Burnham, who wanted to talk to him about standing for the party leadership. Before anyone gets too excited, however, this wasn’t in the past few months, during which Burnham succeeded in landing the job. The story dates back to 2010. That was when he was a callow member of Gordon Brown’s cabinet and understandably wary of his boss discovering not only his ambition to take over if Labour lost the looming general election, but also from whom he wanted advice. Much has changed since then, not least Burnham himself. His journey out of Westminster and back again – which in his telling has become an almost spiritual pilgrimage of personal redemption – enabled him to shed the New Labour baggage that proved so cumbersome during his previous, and unsuccessful, runs for the leadership. In common with Brown, Ed Miliband, Jeremy Corbyn and Keir Starmer – all of whom tried with varying degrees of success to distance themselves from Blair – Labour’s latest leader now also wants to keep Blair at arm’s length, and certainly far away from his party conference in Liverpool this week. Tom Baldwin is a former assistant editor of the Times and a former senior adviser to the Labour party. He is the author of Keir Starmer: The Biography

‘We will get stuff done’: Burnham seeks to banish ghosts of Starmerism at Labour conference

The PM returns to Liverpool, where he was mocked last year, with a promise that no one will be left wondering what he’s trying to do UK politics live – latest updates Andy Burnham was not even in the audience for the prime minister’s speech at the Labour party conference this time last year. As Keir Starmer made the case for continuity to his restive party, Burnham was spotted slipping out over the bridge towards Liverpool’s Albert Dock. The Manchester mayor had been vying for the spotlight throughout the party’s annual gathering, presenting the argument for change. But even he could not have envisaged the schism that would take place in the ensuing 12 months and would put him on the main stage as prime minister at this year’s conference, beginning in Merseyside on Sunday.

Democracy blindsides Silicon Valley’s power players looking to transform the world with AI

‘The push against datacenters speaks to the frustration of people who don’t feel they are making the choices in their lives’ The Stanford ethicist Rob Reich was once invited to a dinner organized by a Silicon Valley mogul to discuss what a state designed to maximize science and tech powered by commercial models might look like. The gathered technologists were drawn to the idea of building a small nation-state dedicated to the endeavor, Reich recalls in “System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot it”. When Reich asked whether this state would be a democracy, he got a cool no. “Democracy is too slow, and it holds science back,” he was told. “To optimize for science, we need a beneficent technocrat in charge.”

NAZA film-makers address threats at documentary’s New York City premiere

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor defend findings on Israel’s killing of Palestinians amid threats from Israeli officials The film-makers behind NAZA, the award-winning documentary on Israel’s systemic mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza, defended their findings at the film’s North American premiere in New York on Saturday, amid protests in Israel and escalating threats from Israeli officials to strip them of their citizenship. The critically acclaimed film, directed by Oscar-winning film-makers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor and produced by the Guardian, features the testimony of 24 anonymized Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers involved in the surveillance and remote killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, who describe the AI-powered systems used to select their targets. The project takes its name from an acronym used euphemistically by Israeli intelligence to indicate how many civilians it expects to die in an airstrike, which are often conducted at night in private homes, killing many family members, including children, at once.

Netanyahu lambasts Israel’s critics at UN as New York protesters detained | First Thing

More than 100 people arrested, including celebrities, while Israeli PM was claiming war on Gaza is ‘the opposite of genocide’. Plus a Guardian investigation reveals the extents to which some convenience stores fail to honor their prices Good morning. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered an inflammatory address to the UN in New York, decrying what he said was a global anti-Jewish conspiracy and taking aim at critics of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He branded Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a “tyrant”, described Zohran Mamdani as the “antisemitic mayor of New York”, and declared that Israel’s war in Gaza was not a genocide, “it’s the opposite of genocide”. Netanyahu delivered his address just hours after the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, said his delegation was “unlawfully” denied visas by the Trump administration to attend the meeting. Dozens of delegates, inspired by a Palestinian call, walked out of the General Assembly Hall of the UN headquarters as Netanyahu took the stage. What was the reaction on the streets of New York? More than 100 people were arrested outside the UN headquarters as hundreds of Jewish, Palestinian, Iranian and Lebanese New Yorkers, among others, protested during Netanyahu’s address. Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were among those detained. What has rapper Macklemore announced? The US rapper, removed from Ed Sheeran’s US tour after voicing his support of Palestine, has convened a Free Palestine tour to benefit humanitarian aid organisations. The charity show will visit Dublin, Paris and London, with a North American run to be announced. What happened in the Senate about the war? Senate Republicans have blocked a Democratic effort to end the US war against Iran, voting down a House-passed war powers resolution. The measure, which passed the House last week with bipartisan support, failed in the Senate by a 49-50 vote, attracting some Republican support, but not enough to pass. What other developments have there been in the Middle East? Saudi Arabia says it intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, with the latest attacks pushing oil prices ⁠to a one-week high over fears of spiralling supply disruptions.

O’Neill said she had called on Northern Ireland secretary Chris Bryant to intervene. She told reporters: “Does anybody think that this is a good idea? No right-minded person would make this decision. “I still do not know the answer to this question - why, after 28 years of determination to block a march down this road, the Parades Commission thought that this was the right idea today to bring this mess back onto this community?” Local MP Carla Lockhart, from the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party, posted this morning on X describing the marchers as a “dignified grouping of men, walking silently down Garvaghy Road”. She included a photo of the small group in suits, wearing orange silk sashes and black bowler hats and carrying a banner. “There is no threat, no triumphalism, not even music. There is nothing to fear. The rule of law must prevail,” she wrote.
