Counting the cost of being an Oasis fan: How much would you pay?
Culture 12:27 We bring you a report that crunches the numbers about how much Oasis fans will spend on food, drinks and tickets for a chance to see the 1990s British rockers when their tour begins in July. (Hint: hundreds of euros!). We also talk to two French environmental activists who travelled from Paris to Shimla in northern India by train to raise awareness about the planet. Meanwhile, a new exhibition looks at French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier's influence on Brazilian artists. Plus we take you inside a museum and art space in industrial London called God's Own Junkyard that curates, creates and sells tens of thousands of neon lights.

‘How to Have Sex' Director Molly Manning Walker Heads Up Cannes Un Certain Regard Jury
How to Have Sex director Molly Manning Walker will head up this year's jury for Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar. The British filmmaker, whose debut feature won the section's top prize in 2023, will be joined on the jury by French-Swiss director Louise Courvoisier, whose Holy Cow won Un Certain Regard's Youth Award last year, Italian filmmaker Roberto Minervini, the 2024 ex-aequno best director winner for The Damned, Argentinian actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (120 BPM), and International Film Festival Rotterdam director Vanja Kaludjercic. More from The Hollywood Reporter Cannes: Sally Hawkins, Matthew Broderick, Martin Freeman Join Simon Bird's 'I'm Not Here' Dwayne Johnson Takes a Prestige Swing in First 'The Smashing Machine' Trailer 'Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert - The 20th Anniversary Tour' to Take Flight (Exclusive) 'It's such an honour to return to Cannes as the President of the Un Certain Regard Jury,' Walker said in a statement. 'This selection will forever hold a special place in my heart. Being a part of it really changed my world. I can't wait to discover the films at the epicentre of new cinema. Right now more than ever I feel that cinema is so key to bringing us together and allowing us to feel, to connect with each other. To escape, wonder and learn about each other. I'm excited to go on this journey with the other Jury members as I know it will be one hell of an adventure escaping into these filmmakers' worlds.' The five-member jury will be tasked with awarding prizes for Cannes' main sidebar, which highlights emerging voices and formally adventurous work. Guan Hu's Black Dog won the Un Certain Regard prize for best film last year. This year's program includes 20 titles, and is packed with directorial debuts, including Scarlett Johansson's Eleanor the Great, starring June Squibb; Harrison Dickinson's Urchin, the first time behind the camera for the Babygirl and Triangle of Sadness star; and Akinola Davies' My Father's Shadow, starring Slow Horses actor Sope Dìrísù. The 2025 Un Certain Regard sections will open on Wednesday, May 14, with Promised Sky from Tunisian director Erige Sehiri. The 78th Festival de Cannes will runs from May 13 to May 24.

There's a massive, ephemeral mural calling viewers to ‘address hate' floating down the East River today
There are some messages worth screaming from the rooftops—or, in this artist's case, from the East River. Saype, a French-Swiss artist known for his biodegradable landscape paintings, has created a massive mural on a barge and plans to float it down the East River tonight, May 8, and Time Out Market New York is hosting a viewing party from its rooftop at 5:15pm ET. The painting, which depicts an electronic tablet held between two hands with the message 'Address Hate' and an envelope made into a bird, seeks to combat hate speech in a day and age that is rife with it. Saype's hope is to promote mutual respect through art, education and civic dialogue, according to a press release. Joshua Laterman of the Laterman Family Foundation that commissioned the piece said: 'People are exhausted. 'AddressHate' is coming at it from many perspectives. When people confront hate head-on, it can be overwhelming. That's why our public artworks offer a more accessible entry point. We're turning the light on, and we hope others will come toward it.' You can see it for yourself from above at Time Out Market New York (55 Water Street) today at 5:15pm, where you can see it from the rooftop but also on a big screen connected to a drone for a bird's eye view. It'll be a cool moment to witness and a monumental artist to see since Saype—who is known most for his 'Beyond Walls' works—has shown work across the world in places like Paris, Venice, Geneva, Cape Town, Turin, Dubai, Nairobi, Istanbul, Ouagadougou, Miami and Tokyo. 'I am deeply convinced that it is together that humanity will be able to face the various challenges it must overcome,' Saype said in a statement.

Scientists release plans for an even bigger atom smasher to address the mysteries of physics
GENEVA (AP) — Top minds at the world's largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics. The plans for the Future Circular Collider — a nearly 91-kilometer (56.5-mile) loop along the French-Swiss border and below Lake Geneva — published late Monday put the finishing details on a project roughly a decade in the making at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The FCC would carry out high-precision experiments in the mid-2040s to study 'known physics' in greater detail, then enter a second phase — planned for 2070 — that would conduct high-energy collisions of protons and heavy ions that would 'open the door to the unknown,' said Giorgio Chiarelli, a research director at Italy's National Institute of Nuclear Physics. 'History of physics tells that when there is more data, the human ingenuity is able to extract more information than originally expected,' Chiarelli, who was not involved in the plans, said in an e-mail. For roughly a decade, top minds at CERN have been making plans for a successor to the Large Hadron Collider, a network of magnets that accelerate particles through a 27-kilometer (17-mile) underground tunnel and slam them together at velocities approaching the speed of light. The blueprint lays out the proposed path, environmental impact, scientific ambitions and project cost. Independent experts will take a look before CERN's two dozen member countries — all European except for Israel — decide in 2028 whether to go forward, starting in the mid-2040s at a cost of some 14 billion Swiss francs (about $16 billion). CERN officials tout the promise of scientific discoveries that could drive innovation in fields like cryogenics, superconducting magnets and vacuum technologies that could benefit humankind. Outside experts point to the promise of learning more about the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that has been controversially dubbed 'the God particle,' which helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. Work at the Large Hadron Collider confirmed in 2013 the existence of the Higgs boson, the central piece in a puzzle known as the standard model that helps explains some fundamental forces in the universe. CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti said the future collider 'could become the most extraordinary instrument ever built by humanity to study the constituents and the laws of nature at the most fundamental levels in two ways,' by improving study of the Higgs boson and paving the way to 'explore the energy frontier,' and by looking for new physics that explain the structure and evolution of the universe. One unknown is whether the Trump administration, which has been cutting foreign aid and spending in academia and research, will continue to support CERN a year after the Biden administration pledged U.S. support for the study and collaboration on the FCC's construction and 'physics exploitation' if it's approved. The United States is home to 2,000 users of CERN, making them the single largest national contingent among the 17,000 people working there, including outside experts abroad and staff on site, Gianotti said. While an observer state and not a member, the U.S. doesn't pay into the CERN regular budget but has contributed to specific projects. Most of the CERN regular budget comes from Europe. Costas Fountas, the CERN Council president, said he had spoken with some U.S. National Science Foundation and Department of Energy staff who relayed the message that so far 'they're 'under the radar of the cuts of the Trump administration'. That's their words.' CERN scientists, engineers and partners behind the plans considered at least 100 scenarios for the new collider before coming up with the proposed 91-kilometer circumference at an average depth of 200 meters (656 feet). The tunnel would be about 5 meters (16 feet) in diameter, CERN said.
