This kind of straightforward durability is the appropriately mundane ground for the inaugural exhibition of Mariam Elnozahy’s first program as Konsthall C’s artistic director. It would have been easy to open a program along these thematic lines with something confrontational, but instead Elnozahy reproduced, inside the gallery, the meditation room from the UN headquarters in New York. The room was renovated in 1957 by the Swedish aristocrat and state economist turned unlikely international diplomat and UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld. Bo Beskow was the fourth son of Natanael Beskow, a leading Swedish theologian, radical pacifist, and spokesperson for women’s suffrage. The room is still used by ordinary people in the neighborhood seeking a place to pause and reflect in silence.

Protests in Serbia turned violent as thousands of government opposition backers rallied in the north-western city of Novi Sad after a deadly roof collapse at a local railway station. The protesters broke windows, spray-painted buildings and sprayed sewage over the city hall to express their anger towards the government, whom they blame for negligence and corruption. At least 14 people were killed in the accident, including a young child

This page focuses on Florida’s death penalty. But—after last night’s election, which confirmed Donald Trump will serve a second term in the White House as the 47th President—I think it’s worth a post on the federal death penalty. The federal death penalty applies in every state for crimes prosecuted under federal law. Federal death row is housed at the United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, which is also where federal executions are carried out. At a rally in October, Trump called for the death penalty for all migrants who kill an American citizen or law enforcement officer.

The midfielder joined Spurs from Brazilian side Internacional in 2010 for around £8million and played 106 times for the club. The following campaign, Tottenham reached the FA Cup semi-final. But the 35-year-old has now made a sensational comeback by joining seventh-tier Harborough, just in time for the club's FA Cup clash with League One Reading on Saturday. 'These sort of signings don't happen every day but when you get a chance to sign an ex-professional footballer who has played at the highest level in the Premier League and Internationally with Brazil, you just cannot turn it down.'

Two new cases of the version of mpox that has fueled a deadly outbreak in central Africa have been detected in Britain, according to the country’s health authorities. But the authorities say that the overall risk of a rapid spread in the country remains low. “Mpox is very infectious in households with close contact, and so it is not unexpected to see further cases within the same household,” Susan Hopkins, the agency’s chief medical adviser, said in the statement. The disease, formerly known as monkeypox, has been endemic in West and Central Africa for more than 50 years. A wider outbreak occurred in 2022, with the illness spreading to Europe, the United States and other parts of the world.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola stuck the knife into Man Utd after his side were trounced by SportingManchester City boss Pep Guardiola couldn’t resist the temptation to stick the knife into Manchester United after his side were humbled by Ruben Amorim’s Sporting on Tuesday night. The Citizens were thrashed 4-1 in the Champions League by the Portuguese giants in Amorim’s final home game in charge of the Lisbon outfit before he takes the helm at Old Trafford. Guardiola will face Amorim for the first time in a Premier League encounter when the Red Devils visit the Etihad Stadium in mid-December. But the Spaniard was quick to remind United that he won’t come face-to-face with Amorim in the Champions League again this season as the 39-year-old’s new club failed to qualify for the competition. And the Red Devils are in desperate need of the immediate boost that Amorim’s arrival could bring after falling to 13th in the Premier League table.

American anchors had mixed reactions as they announced Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. Fox News praised the president-elect's campaign, while other networks focused on his criminal convictions and involvement in the January 6 riots. Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House. At 78, he is also the oldest person ever elected to the office

The New York Times’ Needle lives: The newspaper’s popular election-prediction gauge made its return on Tuesday night — despite the ongoing strike called Monday by the union representing tech employees at the paper. The NY Times’ Needle, first introduced in 2016, estimates the final outcome of an election based on partial election results. In an article on its website, the Times said the Needle could have been a no-show given the strike. “Publishing the Needle live on election night relies on computer systems maintained by engineers across the company, including some who are currently on strike,” the paper said. There is a team of journalists reviewing the data that comes in and goes out of the model at all times on election night,” the paper says.

Republicans Regain Control Of Senate Following 2024 Midterm Elections Key wins in Ohio and West Virginia pave the way for GOP dominance over legislative agendasThe Republican Party has achieved significant gains in the 2024 Midterm Elections, successfully reclaiming control of the U.S. Senate. Following Tuesday's elections, Republicans regained the majority, marking the end of two years of Democratic leadership after flipping key seats, particularly in Ohio and West Virginia. Particularly notable was the timing of Trump's remarks celebrating the Republicans' Senate losses and victories throughout the country. The shift toward Republican control of the Senate could have substantial ramifications on legislative discussions over the next two years. The results of these elections not only reflect the immediate political milieu but could reshape the influence each party wields over America’s governance.

This week, as one Black woman’s electoral fortunes collapse in the United States, a Black woman in the UK, Kemi Badenoch, has made a breakthrough. Badenoch is the first Black leader, and first Black female leader, of any British political party. But Badenoch gives the impression that she isn’t looking for other Black people, or even Nigerians, to feel any kinship towards her. Whereas other Black British MPs have celebrated their heritage, Badenoch is less interested in doing so. ***‘We wish her well’Despite the excitement, Eromo says the reaction to Badenoch’s election has been twofold, with a cooling on the horizon.
