Sri Lanka tea plantations offer a lesson in power and persistence
CENTRAL HIGHLANDS, Sri Lanka -- On a visit to Singapore in 2023, I enjoyed a Bridgerton-style afternoon tea offered by a hotel as part of a collaboration with Dilmah tea, a brand rooted in Sri Lanka. As I sipped a bespoke blend, redolent of that island's misty highlands, I found myself pondering the journey the leaves had made across the Indian Ocean to the edge of the South China Sea. Now, visiting Sri Lanka, I find myself at Ceylon Tea Trails, the world's first tea bungalow resort and a member of Relais & Chateaux, a France-based association of independent hotels. Owned by the Fernando family, the founders of the Colombo-based Dilmah Ceylon Tea Company, this collection of five heritage bungalows nestles near the Pekoe Trail, a newly established hiking path that winds through the heart of tea country in the Central Highlands region.

Adrian Newey caught speaking his mind about Lance Stroll in Monaco GP appearance
Aston Martin hope Adrian Newey can design title winning cars for Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in the coming years and the Brit insists the latter is better than many give him credit for Adrian Newey insists Lance Stroll gets "an unfairly bad rap" from his critics. The new Aston Martin car design chief leapt to the defence of the Canadian racer as he faced reporters at the first Formula 1 race weekend he has attended in person with his new team. Newey started work at Aston Martin in March, having joined from Red Bull in a high-profile switch last year. The 66-year-old has designed more than a dozen title-winning F1 cars and the Silverstone-based squad hope he can sprinkle some of that magic on them in the future. But for now he is still settling in. And his presence on the ground at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend is a purely observational mission for Newey, giving him the chance to see how the team works trackside and getting used to his new surroundings. While in the principality, he has also spoken to the media and used the opportunity to speak highly of 26-year-old racer Stroll, who is the son of the team's billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll. "Lance, I think, has an unfairly bad rap," said Newey. "When you compare him against team-mates he's been up against – Checo [Sergio Perez], Nico Hulkenberg, Sebastian [Vettel] and now Fernando [Alonso] – then he's been right there. "Any driver who gets to Formula 1 is clearly very good, but I think Lance is much better than people give him credit for." Newey went on to make it clear he is also a huge fan of two-time F1 champion Alonso, who he is delighted to be working with having previously voiced his regret that they had never been allies on the grid. Newey added: "Fernando, he's such a cool character. He's been an enemy for many years, along with Lewis [Hamilton]. I think I've said before that you can only work with so many drivers. "But two drivers I always wanted – the brothers from the modern era that I felt I would enjoy working with – were Lewis and Fernando, and I couldn't work with both, so at least I've got one of them." Newey was referring to the choice that he was faced with after announcing that he was going to leave Red Bull. Retirement was a possibility but he quickly came to the conclusion that he had another project in him and there was no shortage of suitors interested in luring the celebrated designer. But the two front-runners were Aston Martin and Ferrari. Clearly, the former won that duel, despite a personal plea from Hamilton who publicly declared how much he wanted Newey to make the move with him to Italy.

Gangs prey on tourists with deadly ‘zombie' drug
Colombian gangs are using a deadly drug once used by the CIA as a truth serum to kidnap and rob Western tourists. Dubbed Devil's Breath, the drug scopolamine is derived from the seeds of the Borrachero tree and is also known as burundanga. In potent doses of 10mg or more, it can paralyse its victims, rendering them highly suggestible to commands as they are placed in a 'zombie'-like state. The gangs will ensnare tourists by promising them a night of passion in messages sent over dating apps such as Tinder or the LGBT platform Grindr. After leading them to a secluded setting, the victim is offered a drink, or even a stick of chewing gum or a cigarette, that is laced with the colourless and odourless drug. Cases have also been reported of victims being injected using incredibly fine needles that leave no trace of an entry wound. As the chemical cocktail works its way through their nervous system over the next 30 minutes, the victim is assailed with hallucinations, delirium and starts to lose control of their limbs. Sprawled helplessly on the bed or couch, their captors drain their accounts, rummage through their wallets or prise pieces of jewellery from their fingers and wrists. Those who start reacting erratically or try to resist are often hit over the head, according to Agustin Guerrero Salcedo, a leading toxicologist from Barranquilla with 40 years of experience treating such incidents. Police fear this is the fate that befell Alessando Coatti, a 38-year-old Italian scientist who went missing while on holiday in the coastal city of Santa Marta last month. Detectives believe the molecular biologist, who worked in London, was lured to an abandoned house in the San José del Pando neighbourhood after being contacted over the Grindr dating app. What exactly happened on the evening of April 4 remains unclear but post-mortem examinations concluded that Coatti was killed by blunt-force trauma. His body was then dismembered and stuffed into suitcases and bags strewn across the city in an apparent attempt to trick investigators into believing it was a gangland-style hit involving warring drug clans. 'It does something to your brain where you forget completely… it's like a vacuum,' recalled Fernando, a 64-year-old British financial analyst who believes he was drugged with Devil's Breath while on a business trip to Bogota in 2012. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the retired father of two, currently living in Spain, told The Telegraph he was duped into withdrawing around €1,000 with two separate credit cards after his beer was spiked during a night out at a bar near his hotel. He woke up the next afternoon at 1pm with next to no recollection of what had occurred the night before. Fernando said was forced to rely on the hotel receptionist to piece together the fragments of what happened that evening. He could only recall being approached by someone at a bar and then, according to the hotel staff, was picked up by a sympathetic taxi driver who came across him wandering in a daze along the streets of a shady neighbourhood of Bogota. 'It's very dangerous because you're totally hypnotised, you do anything they say,' Fernando said. 'The next day I went to work and told people what happened to me. They suggested I go get tested, and it turned out I had been drugged 'I don't remember much, I just have glimpses of vague instances of walking along the streets and stumbling over my feet. 'Since then I have never accepted [random] drinks or left my drink alone: I think that's what had happened, I had probably gone to the toilet and let my beer down.' Fernando explained that because he left one of his cards in the hotel safe, it means he was made to go back to the hotel and collect it while possibly intoxicated on Devil's Breath. 'I had gone back into my hotel, during the time in which I was on burundanga and, on my own, taken a card and gone out again.' Fernando informed police of the incident but claimed the dismissive manner in which they treated his complaint suggested such thefts were very commonplace. Cases have become so prevalent in Colombia that the US embassy in Bogota singled out scopolamine in a security warning to tourists in June 2023 over the dangers of meeting people through online dating. Many cases go unreported out of embarrassment and a reluctance to engage with police or judicial authorities. Tourist cities of Medellin, Cartagena, and Bogota were singled out as hotspots. Thefts committed against foreign visitors to Medellin in the last three months of 2023 had risen by 200 per cent compared with the previous year, city authorities said. Violent deaths of foreign visitors, most of which were US citizens, had increased 29 per cent. In January last year the US embassy disclosed that there had been eight deaths of its citizens attributed to involuntary drugging overdose or suspected homicides between November 1 and December 31 2023. In the first case of its kind in the UK, Diana Cristea, then 19, together with her boyfriend Joel Osei, used Devil's Breath to poison and rob Adrian Murphy, an Irish dancer, in June 2019 after befriending him over Grindr. Toxicology reports showed Murphy had died from an overdose of the drug. Cristea, of Mill Hill, north London, and Osei, then 25, were both found guilty of murder following a trial at Croydon Crown Court. They were also convicted of poisoning a second man with the same drug two days earlier. The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, survived, but was taken to hospital after being found by a neighbour almost naked, extremely agitated and confused. Cristea was jailed for 16 years and handed a life sentence. Osei was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 32 years. The National Crime Agency, Britain's equivalent of the FBI, said there was little evidence of scopolamine being used in the UK but that they were monitoring cases. Prof Kamyar Afarinkia, a lecturer on drug toxicology from the University of West London, said that a backstreet chemist with as much knowledge as a second year university student would be able to extract scopolamine with 90 per cent purity from a Borrachero tree and manufacture it for use with only a few readily available chemicals. Explaining the ease with which it can be administered, he said: 'If it's sprayed onto the face and if it's not cleaned properly, then it gets into your bloodstream fairly easily. 'It can also be given, for example, in fruit it's given in grapefruit juice it's a lot more effective because grapefruit juice stops the metabolism of the drug in the body. 'You can get a business card, soak it in, let it dry and then give it to somebody and then when they touch it would obviously be under their skin unless they go and wash their hands very quickly.' Prof Afarinkia added: 'In these cases it causes a very strange state when people basically accept everything that is said to them. 'Scopolomaine belongs to a class of so-called 'truth serums' that you may have heard about in spy novels and basically that means people are open to suggestions. 'So if they said 'can you tell me the latest secrets', people volunteer it, they wouldn't actually remember it afterwards.' Dr Sarah Cockbill, a retired consultant pharmacist who has acted as an expert witness in medical legal cases for the past 13 years, said the severity of symptoms depended on the dosage, the health and age of the victim and whether any adulterants had been added to it. She said: 'It puts the brain to sleep, so you are a zombie, you don't know what you're doing, how much of it and where. 'People do just wander round in what looks like a trance until the symptoms wear off, but again that is dose dependent and a lot of people have more severe reactions to a small dose.' On the risk of longer term brain damage, she added: 'If you're putting your brain to sleep, it wouldn't be the most unusual thing for there to be some long lasting damage when they finally come around.'

'I love this country – that's why I'm speaking up about Sweden's diversity problems'
If Sweden wants to get serious about diversity and inclusion it must tackle some-deep-rooted problems head-on, argue Greg Fernando and Brandon Sekitto, the founders of the 1046 inclusion campaign. Advertisement In an interview for The Local's Sweden in Focus podcast, the pair explain that they started the initiative with the aim of ensuring that all of Sweden's more than ten million inhabitants felt included in the country regardless of their ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age or disability. Brandon Sekitto says it took him a while to figure out that Sweden wasn't as inclusive as it seemed to him growing up. His family moved to Sweden from Uganda when he was just nine years old and he ended up living in Tensta, one of Stockholm's most multicultural neighbourhoods. 'It was different races, people from all over the world. It was like a mosaic of diversity.' Greg Fernando's introduction to the country was very different. Moving to Stockholm from Canada well into his adulthood and living in the affluent Kungsholmen area, he was often acutely aware of being the only person of colour within a given radius. But even though they first saw Sweden through different lenses, they both want to make the country more welcoming and have reached similar conclusions on what needs to be done. 'I'm really proud to say that we recently won a Nordic inclusion prize, we presented at the Riksdag last year in November, and this year we're really excited because we're forming a partnership with Nordiska Museum,' says Fernando. So far, 36 organisations have pledged a commitment to the initiative they founded. READ ALSO: Should Sweden collect stats on ethnicity to combat racism? While they're pleased with some of the projects they have under way, both men believe that if Swedes want diversity to be more than a buzzword people are going to need to engage in difficult conversations – and it won't be comfortable. 'Sweden has to understand that this uncomfortableness is necessary for us to be comfortable enough to make the changes we need. And it is not primarily the job of us as minorities or black people to do. It's the job of Swedes themselves to do,' says Sekitto. "I love Sweden, so don't send me hate mail," he adds. "My kids love this country. I love this country. That's why I'm speaking up." He and his co-founder are committed to facilitating these difficult conversations. As an intercultural communicator Sekittto specialises in bridging cultural differences, while Fernando founded the organisation New to Sweden as a way to help newcomers gain a foothold in a difficult job market. According to Fernando, an unwillingness to fully embrace diversity stems from a form of nationalism tied to Sweden regularly coming topping lists of the best places in the world to live. As a result, he says, a consensus has emerged among many Swedes that newcomers should adapt to the superior Swedish way of life and leave their own cultures and traditions at the door. 'They have such a terrible time adapting to anything new. And I think that's a skill set that they have to pick up, because otherwise we're just going to be doing the same old dance for the next 100 years, where they just don't think people coming from abroad bring any value to them.' READ ALSO: 'Sweden is decades behind on racism and diversity' As for the campaign's name, Fernando jokes that naming it 1046 was not their most clear-sighted moment. 'We started this project so long ago and at that time there were 10.46 million people living in Sweden. So we came up with the bright idea of naming this initiative after the number of people who are living here, not thinking ahead.' 'We would love people to join up,' Sekitto says. "Everybody can do something. We've done what we can and we welcome everybody else to join the conversation.' You can find out more about the 1046 campaign on their website and LinkedIn page.
