Sunday night turned electric for Taylor Swift fans when a video surfaced showing her stunned reaction to spotting Travis Kelce in the crowd.

As forecast in pre-election polls, the first round of the French legislative election confirmed the New Popular Front, an alliance of the main parties on the left, as the second-biggest political force in the country. Hastily formed a day after French President Emmanuel Macron’s surprise decision to dissolve the National Assembly, the alliance consists of the France Unbowed party, the Socialists, the Greens and the Communists. The left-wing alliance made a strong showing, with around 28 percent of the vote, but is unlikely to land enough seats in the runoffs to form a majority in parliament. That didn’t stop a…

Grassy box gum woodlands once covered millions of square kilometres in southeastern Australia, but today less than 5% remains. The loss of large old trees has been a crisis for the many species of birds and other animals that depend on them for habitat. Replacing this habitat is not easy. There is no quick way to create a centuries-old tree. One thing we can do is make artificial structures that mimic the features of large old trees in degraded environments where trees cannot live or are too young and small. We have been working with the Australian Capital Territory Parks…

When I tell people that I study fossils, many assume I am talking about dinosaurs or some equally impressive extinct creatures. But there’s far more to be found in the global fossil record, like plants, fish and insects. Researchers who study fossil insects preserved in rock or amber deposits are called palaeoentomologists – and I’m one of very few in the world. (I’d estimate there are roughly 200, many of them still studying towards PhDs and not yet working full-time.) I’m also the first and only black South African in the field. By studying the remains of fossil insects such…

Anthony Albanese sprang into action after his recalcitrant senator, young Muslim woman Fatima Payman, gave a defiant Sunday morning interview on the ABC Insiders program in which she vowed to cross the floor again if similar circumstances arose. There was no slap with a feather this time, as happened last week after she broke party solidarity to vote for a Greens’ pro-Palestinian motion. Then, Albanese had what Payman described as a “stern but fair conversation” with her, but only barred her from this week’s caucus meeting. On Sunday, he summoned her to the Lodge and told her she was suspended…
