Elon Musk is sowing 'deliberate division' via his social media platform X that will be catastrophic unless regulated, the mother of one of the 14 confirmed children fathered by the world’s richest man has warned. In Musk, a new documentary by veteran film-maker Alex Gibney, former Maga influencer Ashley St Clair says Musk told her in a text message he wanted to have a child with her because he needed to have 'a legion of children before the civil war'. The couple had a son in 2024 but have since separated. St Clair says Musk’s team offered her a $40m lump-sum payment and a monthly stipend of $100,000 in return for her signing a non-disclosure agreement but withdrew the offer after she refused to sign it.

‘Donald Trump, I have four words for you: turn the volume up!’ Zohran Mamdani celebrated his victory over Andrew Cuomo, the three-term former governor and son of a governor in his first speech since being elected mayor of New York City. “We have toppled a political dynasty,” Mamdani told his supporters, before delivering a message to his opponent. "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name." Mamdani also used the speech to directly address Donald Trump, who has threatened to cut funding to New York City if he won the race. “After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him,” he said. “Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up.” Follow the link in bio for the latest.

Vincent Kompany says José Mourinho made 'a huge mistake in leadership' in talking about Vinícius Júnior's celebration after he had reported alleged racist abuse. Vinícius told the referee that Gianluca Prestianni had racially abused him during Real Madrid's clash against Benfica, and after the match, Mourinho appeared to criticise Vinícius for his celebration – which he described as “stupid” – after scoring the only goal. 'I know he's a good person. I don't need to judge him as a person and I understand what he's done but he's made a mistake,' said Kompany.

“I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls.” writes the Guardian columnist, Marina Hyde about the latest names released in the Epstein files. For Hyde, the latest political implosion of Peter Mandelson is not the most important story related to the Epstein files. “I think we’re all massively more obsessed with the fact that there really was a network of incredibly famous and powerful men trying to help a known ex-con minimise and wave away his underage sex crimes. Amirite, ladies?” The US justice department has released millions of files related to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the largest disclosure by the government since a law passed last year said the documents should be published. The disgraced financier was convicted of child sex offences in 2008 and the files indicate that many high-profile figures continued friendships with him after this point. “Sure, I’m crying my eyes out about some Gordon Brown adviser having his asset-sale memo in 2009 … but at the same time I’m a whole lot more concerned about the actual Sex Bilderberg. Which, even now, our eyes seem to keep being conveniently dragged away from. Can we refocus?”   Swipe to read how some of the world’s most powerful and influential men stayed close to Jeffrey Epstein even after his conviction for child sex offences and why Marina Hyde says this is the biggest question we should be asking.

Video fimed during the Bondi shooting on Sunday afternoon has captured audio of a woman comforting a child she didn’t know. The woman – Jessica Rozen – told Guardian Australia she was searching desperately for her three-year-old son as the shots rang out at Bondi beach on Sunday. ‘I got you, I got you,’ Rozen repeats. Rozen had attended the Chanukah by the Sea event with her family when the terrorist attack began that evening, bringing a terrifying end to the day’s Jewish celebration of light. Her husband was running with their toddler when she noticed a little girl screaming. She ran to her and lay on top of her until the shooting stopped and the girl’s dad came.

Tens of thousands of protestors defied police orders and descended on Delhi to demand the resignation of India’s education minister on Monday. The Cockroach Janta party (CJP) might have started out as an online joke, but – driven by millions of discontented young people in India – it has swiftly grown into one of the most unexpected challenges to the powerful rightwing government of Narendra Modi. After the huge turnout, the Modi government invited several CJP spokespeople for talks. Rafqa Touma speaks to the Guardian's south Asia correspondent, Hannah Ellis-Petersen in Delhi, about the CJP.

Americans across all 50 states began marching in protests against the Trump administration on Saturday, aligning behind a message that the country is sliding into authoritarianism and there should be no kings in the US. Politicians, including Democratic senators Chuck Schumer, Chris Murphy and Corey Booker, are marching and speaking at the protests. Senator Bernie Sanders was met with thunderous cheers when he took the stage to address the Washington DC rally. “This moment is not just about one man’s greed, one man’s corruption, or one man’s contempt for the Constitution,” he said. “This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth, who in their insatiable greed, have hijacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout this country.” Millions are expected to turn out in more than 2,700 locations, from small towns to large cities, reflecting a decentralization in an anti-Trump protest movement that focused on demonstrations in Washington DC during his first presidency.

Families in La Guaira, Venezuela, blocked a truck carrying rescue equipment to another neighbourhood on Sunday, in a desperate attempt to divert it to find their loved ones. “I pulled my daughter halfway out. They’re not going to move from there,” Wilker Molaya said. “I have nothing to lose – let them kill me if they want.” International response teams from the US, Mexico and elsewhere have joined Venezuelan authorities in the search, but as the critical 72-hour window for finding survivors has passed, anger and frustration is growing. Aftershocks and a lack of heavy machinery have been slowing searches in some of the hardest-hit areas, while communities continue to attempt to clear debris on their own. The death toll has risen to 1,450 people, and this number is expected to increase as tens of thousands are still missing.

“I know my age group has called the young lazy, entitled snowflakes,” says columnist Polly Toynbee, who has been writing for the Guardian for nearly 50 years. “But I know whose side I’m on and it’s not my own generation’s.” Polly believes that the social contract between younger and older generations has been broken, with gen Z and millennials set to be worse off than their parents in the face of soaring unemployment, stagnating wages and ballooning house prices. New research carried out for the BBC suggests that young people in their 20s are facing a worse start to adulthood than any other generation in almost half a century, with more than 40% of 25-year-olds now living with their parents. But, Polly says, even in the face of this intergenerational injustice, all hope isn’t lost. Watch to find out why Polly thinks her generation owes the younger ones an apology - and how they can right these wrongs. And this isn’t a new belief – read Polly’s article from 2023 about how she believes her generation is sucking Britain’s young people dry via the link in bio. Video by @lozzhurrell

Bad Bunny staged a historic Super Bowl halftime show, joined by Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, and dancers spinning from towering electrical poles. It was the first time the show had ever been sung entirely in Spanish. In her snap review, the Guardian’s US arts writer, Adrian Horton, declared the performance a triumph. “Under immense, unfathomable pressure, with many rooting for his downfall, Bad Bunny delivered,” she writes. “He deftly threaded the needle between political statement and unifying message, calling together the many people and languages which make up the United States. He provided the joy – upbeat, defiant, welcoming, a real dance party for the ages.” The show ended with Bad Bunny shouting out the nations of the Americas, as the Levi’s Stadium screen lit up with the message “The only thing stronger than hate is love.” Follow the link in bio for the latest on the Super Bowl.

‘For much of the world, “normal” is gone.’ This is what Prof Kaveh Madani, director of the UN University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, said to journalists in New York after publishing a report declaring that the world had entered an era of ‘global water bankruptcy’. ‘This is not to kill hope but to encourage action and an honest admission of failure today to protect and enable tomorrow,’ Madani said. Seventy-five percent of people live in countries classified as water-insecure or critically water-insecure and 2 billion people live on ground that is sinking as groundwater aquifers collapse, while some the most visible signs of water bankruptcy are the 700 sinkholes peppering the heavily farmed Konya plain in Turkey. Water overuse and pollution must be tackled urgently, the report’s lead author said, because no one knows when the whole system could collapse, with implications for peace and social cohesion. Water-related conflicts have almost doubled since 2022 alone, while scarcity threatens to force up food prices. The report, released last month, also points out that the risks are falling disproportionately on smallholder farmers, Indigenous peoples, low-income urban residents and women and young people, while the benefits of overuse often accrue to more powerful individuals. Find out why we are facing ‘water bankruptcy’ – and what that looks like for the planet – in this video with our environment editor, Damian Carrington. To read in depth, head to the link in bio.

From squats to glute bridges and the butterfly stretch - every Thursday after midday prayers a group of mostly 50- to 80-year-old men take part in a 45-minute pilates class at a mosque in West Yorkshire. “I think sometimes people are isolated and mosque is a safe environment for them,” says Zafar Kayani, 69, the pilates instructor. “They’re coming here for their spiritual health. Then getting that physical exercise and mental wellbeing, and they’re connecting with each other,” adds Kayani – with attenders saying they feel the benefit. After a TikTok video they posted advertising the classes at Jamia Usmania mosque in Bradford went viral – to the surprise of organisers – they have had interest from mosques across the UK and farther afield, including from Malaysia and Canada, with inquiries on how similar initiatives could be implemented for their congregation. Kayani believes that the physical and mental health benefits of the classes will have a positive impact on public health and the NHS. According to government health data on physical activity published in 2024, men from Asian (59.6%) and “other” (60%) ethnic groups are less likely to be active than the overall average (65.6%). Jamia Usmania’s general secretary, Mohammed Ilyas, says he wants to make the mosque “a community hub where people can join in other activities, which were provided by the council 20 years ago but are nonexistent now”. He adds: “Make it as accessible as possible, not just for the elders, for the young generation as well, make the mosque welcoming.” Read the full story via the link in bio.

‘Get on to something else' Donald Trump has made a fresh plea for Americans to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal while attacking a female reporter for not smiling while asking him about it. In a press huddle in the Oval Office, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump if there should be more transparency in the files after Epstein’s victims said they were unhappy at certain redactions. Trump responded by saying some victims were unhappy that “too much” was released, before saying: “I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get on to something else like healthcare or something that people care about.” The president then went on to scold Collins, saying: “I’ve known you for 10 years, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face.” “I’m asking about survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Mr President,” Collins replied.

A cat decided it was the main character during the final scene of a Romeo and Juliet ballet performance by the Imperial Russian Ballet Company in the Turkish city of Izmir. The cat entered the open-air theatre and took to the stage, where it decided to lie down, lick itself, and claw at Romeo’s hair. It also climbed atop one of the props as the performers kept going, despite chuckles from the audience.

Today, David Attenborough turns 100.    The British broadcaster, whose sonorous voice has described the wonders of life on Earth to billions of people, has inspired global efforts to treasure and protect wildlife over a lifetime that has coincided with mass extinction and the breakdown of a stable climate.   Recognised as a consummate storyteller, his sparse narrative, dramatic timing and sense of humour connects viewers to ecosystems from the Amazon to the Arctic and the African savannah. Attenborough has become arguably humanity’s most trusted interpreter of other species, thanks to the ubiquity of television.    In recent years, he has drawn even more attention to the damage being done to the natural world. He told the Guardian in 2018 that his goal was to make people care enough to do something; to draw people in and then, at the end of a programme or series, to hit them with an environmental message.     At UN climate talks in Poland in December 2018, Attenborough took to the stage to warn of an existential crisis. “Right now we are facing a man-made disaster of global scale, our greatest threat in thousands of years: climate change,” he said. “If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”   Swipe through to see just a handful of the many highlights from Attenborough’s career - and tap the link in bio for more on his centenary.   Cover photo: Sir David Attenborough photographed in London in 2015.

He told the Guardian in 2018 that his goal was to make people care enough to do something; to draw people in and then, at the end of a programme or series, to hit them with an environmental message.     At UN climate talks in Poland in December 2018, Attenborough took to the stage to warn of an existential crisis. “Right now we are facing a man-made disaster of global scale, our greatest threat in thousands of years: climate change,” he said. “If we don’t take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”   Swipe through to see just a handful of the many highlights from Attenborough’s career - and tap the link in bio for more on his centenary.   Cover photo: Sir David Attenborough photographed in London in 2015.

While Taylor Swift is known to be litigious over unsanctioned use of her music or likeness, she has been curiously silent over the Trump administration’s recent usage of her songs, writes Guardian contributor Alim Kheraj.⁠ ⁠ “Swift may believe that publicly opposing the Trump administration would further fracture an already crumbling nation. She may be quietly supporting those whose lives have been affected by the government’s attacks on immigrants and minorities,” Kheraj writes.⁠ ⁠ “But her influence gives her the potential to galvanize thousands in rejecting increasingly regressive and terrifying social and political norms.”⁠ ⁠ Follow the link in bio to read the full op-ed.
