Paradox J, Józefa Szanajcy 11, Warsaw (2026)

Julie James conceded that the Welsh government's investment of £1m was a drop in the ocean, considering the level of funding needed to deliver floating wind offshore in south west Wales.

But she said the investment signals to the industry Welsh ministers' commitment, and added "this is not the end of our support".

Meanwhile, the UK government has acknowledged that a "step-change is needed" to boost grid capacity in Wales.

The study assessed 32 environmental areas - from species numbers to air and water quality improvements - and found nine trends were improving, 11 were static, and eight were deteriorating. In four areas, there was not enough data to make a reliable assessment.

"The situation is poor across the board, with adverse trends across marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments," it said.

Of the 23 environmental targets it looked at, it assessed 14 as "off track" while the remaining nine could not be assessed because the evidence was not available.

Transshipping allows them to not only stay on the water longer, and fish further from home, but also to avoid the scrutiny that might await them in port.

They may avoid reporting their catch because they overfished or illegally fished. Or they may be hiding human rights abuses, like trapped workers who wish to leave, which unfortunately does occur.

According to the US State Department, “few environments are more conducive to exploitation than the high seas”. Even children are trafficked to work in the fishing industry; as many as 40% of workers in some cases are under 18.

And the most disturbing statistic comes from a UN report, which found that six out of 10 migrant workers on Thai fishing boats who were surveyed reported seeing a co-worker killed. The majority reported enduring beatings or abuse of some sort.

It's a film which sticks up for an era that has long been painted as dusty, desiccated, and antique in an irretrievable way. Even the most famous films about the silent era – Singin' in the Rain (1952), for example, which Babylon is in constant, often literal dialogue with – trade in these same hoary cliches about how embarrassingly protean and vulgar the period was, making fun of the silent-era style of "stagey" acting in a way that would invariably come to define the stereotypes about that time.

Babylon does imagine real figures of the motion picture industry in some cases: the powerful mogul William Randolph Hearst, for example, (most famously the inspiration for Citizen Kane) or MGM "boy wonder" producer Irving Thalberg, portrayed by Max Minghella (Thalberg was revered for being unusually creative and gentle for a mogul, though in truth had just a big a mean streak as any other).

The exhibition begins with the independence era in Africa, and takes viewers on a journey from there up to today and the fashion currently emerging from the continent. Contemporary pieces include works by the Nigerian label Orange Culture – that challenge the ideas of "masculine clothes" – as well as bespoke outfits.

"We start in the independence era because, for many, it epitomises pride in being black and African," says Checinska. The period of decolonisation ignited a new sense of excitement in artists of many countries across Africa. It was a time of African cultural renaissance, with many using their medium to explore their relationship with their country. "Naturally, people were embracing the opportunity to form their own identity. They felt the freedom to express themselves without being under colonial eye," says David Hill, owner of West London photography space David Hill Gallery.

Gisela Helfer, a professor in physiology and metabolism at the University of Bradford in the UK, says naked mole-rats are also the ''perfect model'' for learning about human puberty.

Alongside the Damaraland mole rat, naked mole-rats are one of only two examples of eusocial mammals that live in colonies of overlapping generations where only one female is responsible for breeding and the rest work together to raise the brood.

Much like bees, a high-ranking queen rules over the mole-rat colony, breeding with one to three males at a time. Other individuals play different roles, such as workers who dig the colony's burrows with their tusk-like teeth and forage for food, providing the queen with roots and bulbs to eat.

Usually, there is one fertile pair per colony and the rest of the animals don't go through puberty, Helfer explains. However, if a naked mole-rat is removed from its colony, it will promptly start making s*x steroids and the animal experiences puberty.

"At every step, people on Sark are allowed to choose how we live," Lieutenant Colonel Reginald Guille MBE told me. Guille was born on Sark during the island's German occupation during World War Two in 1942, left when he was 15 to join the Royal Navy, then returned upon retirement in 1997. "As far as we can, we live a traditional, rural life. We have a dairy, sheep farms, market gardens. And life does change, but it is changing at the pace we want it to. It's our island and we run it the way we want it to be run."

Chief among Sark's curiosities is that it has its own parliament, exchequer and set of laws and taxes. The UK government is still responsible for defence and international relations here, but the semi-autonomous island with its own United Nations country code (680) is a defiant outlier – it was the last feudal state in Europe, only dismantling its almost 450-year-old feudal system of hereditary government to allow for better democratic representation of its 500 residents in 2008.

Boho-luxe furniture, redolent of Saint Laurent's 1970s lifestyle, is currently in demand. Danish brand Gubi recently reproduced the Bohemian 72 collection of the late Milanese designer Gabriella Crespi in collaboration with her daughter Elisabetta Crespi, which includes rattan seating with plump cushions. "1970s furniture was characterised by an emphasis on cosiness and comfort – low-slung seating with soft, cloud-like cushioning – and by a leaning towards organic materials, evocative of the natural world," says Marie Kristine Schmidt, chief brand officer at Gubi. "A legacy of a late-1960s bohemian sensibility, this rejected convention in favour of freedom and self-expression. It was designed for socialising and entertaining without fussiness or formality."

Look back in languor

Each room of the boho-chic apartment had a distinctive mood: a vast wood-panelled 1920s salon, a white-walled, book-lined library, a rich red hallway, a mirrored den. Saint Laurent adored Chinese artefacts and Chinoiserie. This also found expression in his 1977 haute-couture collection with an "Imperial China" theme – lamé jackets with pagoda-inspired shoulders and lacquered red "coolie" hats – that presaged the launch of his perfume O***m. The scent's ad campaign featured 70s supermodel Jerry Hall shot alongside white orchids in the apartment's dark, atmospheric "Oriental Room".

While individual experiences of adoption can vary hugely, these underlying traumas can pose long-term risks for the child. According to an analysis of 85 studies on the mental health of adoptees and non-adoptees, the risk of adoptees experiencing psychiatric disorders, having contact with mental health services, or treatment in a psychiatric hospital was approximately double that of non-adoptees. Similarly, a Swedish study on international adoptees found a higher risk of severe mental health problems and su***de in adolescence and young adulthood among children who had been adopted.

However, although being adopted is associated with these risks, a successful adoption placement can help vulnerable children overcome the early adversity they faced. Adoption has been shown to help close the developmental gap between children who have been in care and their peers, having a measurably positive impact on, for instance, their cognitive development.

"She gets physically smaller in the frame as the film goes on, increasingly quiet and downcast, isolated in this toxic environment in which she has zero autonomy," she adds. "It's a film that says so much about toxic masculinity, gender abuse and the trauma of speaking out, without ever feeling the need to soapbox or lecture. It makes you feel like you're walking in Jane's shoes."

Winnie M Li, film producer-turned-author, s*xual assault survivor and activist, similarly praises The Assistant because she felt it "nailed" what other films dealing with abuse in the the entertainment industry struggled with. "The thing with trying to represent in the film industry is, like, how do you make it not too on the nose?" says Li, whose recent novel Complicit has earned acclaim for its depiction of power imbalances and cover-ups in the film world through the recollections of a former female producer for an indie film company.

But right now, I'm on the move. Riding the train is akin to one of those immersive cinema screens that tugs your gaze left and right. Mountains rear up on both sides of the track, plunging again to reveal vast sun-patched valleys dotted with distant hamlets. The track crosses boggy plateaus and winds along tussocky slopes, with some 14 tunnels and 21 viaducts marking its way through the wild hills. On board, the aisle trolley sells branded Settle-Carlisle bookmarks and keyrings alongside cans of locally brewed beer. This is not a normal feature of the national rail network – but then the line's construction was no standard feat.

"Your first thought is that (the terrain) is impenetrable even to the most skilful and daring engineer," stated an editorial in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph newspaper a week before the line's public launch. "The great Pennine Chain, the rocky steeps of Ingleborough, Wild Boar, Whernside and Shap Fells – these are not favourable to the construction of a Railway."

More recently, Frimer's team analysed reactions to Donald Trump's tweets (before he was banned) and they found that very few of his supporters actively "liked" his nastier tweets. The tweets didn't stop them supporting him, but they carried on doing so despite, not because, of, his incivility.

Of course, there are still plenty of examples of people who do well in life who are self-centred and unkind to others. But the point is that despite what we might see in The Apprentice or Succession, you don't have to be hard-nosed and obnoxious to get on in business or other highly competitive walks of life.

You can't be a winner simply through being kind of course – you need motivation, dedication and skill too – but there's more and more evidence that showing some kindness as you pursue your goal is no barrier to success.
