Protests, pandemic and political unrest in the 25 years since the former British colony was handed back to mainland China
Our roundup of drama to watch at home includes international festivals, Gemma Arterton in The Duchess of Malfi and Christopher Plummer in The Tempest
When Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring was performed at Sadler’s Wells in June, one of the theatre’s resident bats unexpectedly swooped into the performance, leaving some to wonder if it was part of the show. After all, Bausch’s masterpiece, performed on a bed of peat, isn’t short on heady atmosphere. In this film about the production, the stage is sand as we watch the company of dancers from African countries perform Bausch’s driven choreography on the beach in Senegal in 2020, just before their tour was cancelled because of Covid. Available until 11 July.
Better insulation would save large sums for millions struggling with the cost of living, finds LGA report
People in “fuel-poor” households in England are facing annual bills about £250 higher than need be because of their poorly insulated homes, according to Local Government Association (LGA) research.
The LGA has identified about 3 million households where better insulation would save large sums for people struggling with the rising cost of living. About £770m is wasted each year trying to heat these leaky homes, according to analysis for the LGA by WPI Economics.

Eddie Jones’s selection for the first Test is as significant a cabinet reshuffle as English rugby has undergone for a while
The winds of change are finally rustling the palm trees beside the nearby Swan River. Not only will Courtney Lawes lead England into Saturday’s first Test against Australia in preference to Owen Farrell but Eddie Jones has also parachuted three experimental new caps into his matchday 23. It is as significant a cabinet reshuffle as English rugby has undergone for a while.
Most strikingly of all it is a development that has, according to his head coach, left Farrell “very unhappy”. Normally in these situations the deposed captain swallows his disappointment and there is diplomatic talk of smooth, orderly transitions. Not this time. If anything, to use the Australian vernacular, it seems that Farrell has spat the dummy and is totally spewing.
Lack of gravity and weightlessness means the longer astronauts stay in space, the more bone mass they lose
Astronauts lose decades’ worth of bone mass in space that many do not recover even after a year back on Earth, researchers have found, warning that it could be a “big concern” for future missions to Mars.
Previous research has shown astronauts lose between 1% and 2% of bone density for every month spent in space, as the lack of gravity takes pressure off their legs when it comes to standing and walking.
