One-pan spicy tomato beans with eggs and feta

This dish of spicy white beans in a rich tomato sauce is a meeting of two beloved dishes — fiery Arrabbiata sauce and shakshuka.
Popular recipes by Hetty Lui McKinnon:
Italian Arrabbiata, usually served with pasta, is a classic red sauce that is fired up with chili flakes and a generous amount of garlic.
While heat is the defining characteristic of Arrabbiata, making it at home allows you to season it to your liking.
Cannellini or butter beans bring a quiet luxury to this dish, their nutty flavour and creamy texture a perfect contrast to the intense tangy acidity of the tomato sauce.

Aryna Sabalenka wants 'equal treatment' over scheduling of French Open women's matches

Aryna Sabalenka is the top-ranked player in women's tennis. Yet even that status did not spare her from competing in front of empty seats at Roland-Garros. The three-time major singles champion faced China's Zheng Qinwen in the first quarterfinal match on Tuesday, beginning at 11am (local time) on Court Philippe-Chatrier. When play began, large sections of the 15,000-seat stadium were still unoccupied. It is a common sight in the early hours at the French Open, when many ticket holders opt for lunch or arrive later in the day. "It was a big match and probably would make more sense to put us a little bit later just so more people could watch it," Sabalenka said after her 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 win. "I definitely think that would make more sense to kind of like move our match for a little bit later." But scheduling more night sessions for women is proving a tough issue to resolve for French Open tournament director Amélie Mauresmo. Since the introduction of night sessions in 2021, only four women's singles matches have been featured in that marquee time slot. Serena Williams played in the first night match at Roland-Garros, but pandemic restrictions meant the stands were empty. No women's matches have been scheduled for the evening session this year, which Sabalenka said needed to be changed. Asked about her views on the fact that women have not played a single night match this year, the Belarusian said they deserved "equal treatment." "There was a lot of … great battles, a lot of great matches which would be cool to see as night sessions," Sabalenka said. "Just more people in the stands watching these incredible battles. And just to show ourselves to more people. I definitely agree that we deserve to be put on a bigger stage. Like better timing, more people watching." Sabalenka plays defending champion and fifth seed Iga Świątek in the semifinals. Świątek, chasing a fifth French Open title, defeated 13th seed Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 6-1, 7-5. American Francis Tiafoe said tennis rules lacked consistency after Lorenzo Musetti escaped punishment for kicking a ball that struck a line official in his quarterfinal victory. The incident occurred in the second set of their match when Musetti was given balls to serve. The Italian kicked one with his left leg and inadvertently hit a line judge, who barely flinched even though she was hit on her upper body. Musetti apologised and was immediately given a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct by the chair umpire. But he was not defaulted and the incident drew comparisons to another involving Novak Djokovic at the 2020 US Open. A petulant swipe at the ball after having his serve broken brought an end to Djokovic's campaign in New York five years ago after he struck a line judge in the throat. "Obviously he [Musetti] did that and nothing happened," Tiafoe told reporters after his 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 defeat. "I think that's comical, but it is what it is. Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. "Obviously, it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Musetti said it was an "unlucky coincidence". "I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said sorry, I apologised to everyone," Musetti said. "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that, and that's why probably just let me continue my game." Musetti will next face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who advanced to the semifinals via a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 victory over 12th seed Tommy Paul. Reuters

Multi-millionaire brands four-day work week the ‘stupidest idea I've ever heard'

A Canadian businessman and multi-millionaire has fired up at the suggestion of a four-day work week being widely adopted, swiftly branding the idea 'stupid' during an interview. Kevin O'Leary, known for his role as one of the investors on the program Shark Tank, didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts during a recent appearance on Fox News. 'There is a big push now for a four day work week, do you think we will become like the French?' one of the presenters asked. The four-day work week is becoming increasingly popular in France, with the country launching it's first official pilot of the program in 2024. In 2000, the country also legally mandated a 35-hour work week, with any hours worked beyond this considered overtime. In 2023, the France's Labor Ministry announced that around 10,000 employees were already working under a four-day model. France isn't the only country where the four-day movement is growing, with pilots taking place all over the world in recent years, including Australia. However, Mr O'Leary is not convinced by the working model's increased popularity. 'That's the stupidest idea I have ever heard,' he said. 'I think we should let the French go to a two-day work week and then kick their arse internationally.' The outspoken businessman claimed that in our post-pandemic world and new digital economy, there is 'no such thing as a work week' anymore. But this isn't to say Mr O'Leary thinks a traditional five-day work week is the answer either, with the multi-millionaire taking a more outcome focused approach. 'Look at my staff, 40 per cent of them work remotely all around the world,' he said. For example, if a project is due by June 15, then he doesn't care how many days a week his staff work, so long as the work is done on time. The businessman's brutal assessment sparked a heated debate, with many defending the four-day work model. One person claimed the 'best job' they ever had operated on a four-day work week, claiming their quality of life went up and they had time to study and upskill. 'I have a four-day work week. I can't express the difference in how much better my work week is given one extra day to decompress,' another said. One added: 'I have been running my company on a four-day work week for a few years now. I can't imagine going back to a five-day week.' However, there were others who agreed with Mr O'Leary's point of view. 'I couldn't agree more with you! I think that is so stupid!' one said. 'The people who want a four-day work week should start their own company,' another claimed. Another agreed, saying the focus should be on getting the work done by specific deadlines, with less focus on how many days a week it may take to complete. One of the common ways that companies implement a four-day week is by using the 100:80:100 model, in which staff keep 100 per cent of their pay but have their work hours reduced to 80 per cent. However, they must maintain 100 per cent of their productivity in order for the change to work. Other options include allowing staff to work a shorter week but for less pay, or offering standard 40 hour weeks condensed over four days. This isn't the first time Mr O'Leary has shared his opinion on divisive workplace topics. In August last year he raged at the Australian government following the introduction of the Right To Disconnect law. The law gives employees the right to refuse contact outside of their working hours. Staff are not required to monitor, read, or respond to contact from an employer or third party – within reason. The change left Mr O'Leary baffled. 'What happens if you have an event in the office and it is closed? Or you have an emergency room somewhere and you have to get of hold of them at 2am in the morning because it affects the job they are on,' he told Fox News at the time. 'This kind of stuff just makes me crazy. It is so dumb. Who dreams this crap up? Why would anyone propose such a stupid idea?' He added that he would 'fire' an employee if they ignored his calls and didn't get back to him. Doubling down in a lengthy post to X, Mr O'Leary wrote: 'If you can't be reached when the job depends on it, you're out.' 'Who dreams up these ridiculous ideas? If someone tells me they're in 'silent mode,' they're fired,' he said.
