With thousands of entries from over 70 countries, the competition celebrates the very best food photography and videography from around the globe. At the heart of it all, of course, is food – a source of connection, creativity, and inspiration. Now in its 14th year, the Awards (sponsored by Tenderstem Bimi Broccolini) continue to shine a light on the rich diversity of food stories, capturing everything from growing and harvesting to cooking, sharing and simply enjoying a meal. Each image offers a window into different cultures and everyday moments, while also highlighting important issues connected to the food we cherish. This year's overall winner is Xiaoling Li with the image The Elderly Having Delicious Food. It was also the winner of the category: Food for the Family (supported by the Felix Project, a British charity that rescues surplus food and redistributes it to community organizations across London). "What a perfect winning image for our times," says Caroline Kenyon, founder of the World Food Photography Awards. "This beautifully framed shot captures five elderly women in Sichuan Province in China, reveling in good food with true friends. "The joy they have in each other's company is palpable, a powerful rebuke to those who would divide us. Color, composition, the variety of expressions while one determinedly plows on with their food – I defy anyone not to be uplifted by this photograph." New this year is the Jamie Oliver Youth Prize, named for the celebrity chef and food activist. In this category, young talents can enter the Awards and tell their unique food stories. This year, talented Maja Kowalczyk won the under-12s prize with her image Family. Here's a look at the winning images of this year's Awards.

Airlines' summer woes, semaglutide supply threat, a fight against air pollution: Catch up on the day's stories

👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Hormonal birth control pills can be used to prevent pregnancy, and they're also a popular way to go months or even years without a period. But is it safe? A reproductive health expert weighs in. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ 'Summer of hell': What's typically a key money-making time for airlines could fall short this year. Fears about flying, air traffic control issues and economic concerns are some of the reasons consumers are opting not to fly, prompting airlines to cut back on routes. 2️⃣ Access denied: Africans lost nearly $70 million in non-refundable visa fees last year, seeking permission to travel to European countries. The EU says applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but advocates say the high rejection rates prove 'inbuilt discrimination and bias' in the process. 3️⃣ Semaglutide crackdown: Shortages of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs for weight loss and diabetes allowed pharmacies to sell off-brand products not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
