Grealish leaves City in bid to revive England career
England midfielder Jack Grealish has joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City as he seeks to restart his stalled international career. City paid Aston Villa a then-British record Stg 100 million ($A207m) for the player, now 29, in 2021 but he fell out of favour with manager Pep Guardiola and is seeking game time ahead of next year's World Cup. Media reports said Everton, who finished last season 13th overall and are managed by David Moyes, had an option to make the move permanent for Stg 50m at the end of the loan period. Grealish's current weekly wages have been put at Stg 300,000 ($A620,000). Everton said Grealish would wear the number 18, the same number worn by past club greats Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney. "I'm over the moon to have signed for Everton. It's massive for me, honestly. This is a great club, with great fans," the player said in a statement. "As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place that I wanted to go." Grealish, who had a medical on Monday and was at Everton's training ground completing the deal on Tuesday, said he had spoken to Rooney already about a shirt number he could wear as soon as next Monday, when the Toffees start their campaign at promoted Leeds United. The player made only seven league starts last season and was not included in City's recent Club World Cup squad. Grealish scored 17 goals for City in 157 appearances and was involved in three Premier League title triumphs as well as winning the 2023 Champions League, FA Cup and Club World Cup. He is Everton's sixth and biggest signing of the summer with the Liverpool club ready to start afresh at a new 52,769 seat stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Meanwhile, Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has been left out of the squad for the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday for disciplinary reasons, an unhelpful distraction to manager Thomas Frank in his attempt to mark his debut with silverware. Bissouma didn't travel to the Italian city of Udine after being late "several times" this off-season, Frank said. "The latest time was one too many," he said. The annual Super Cup match pits the winners of last season's Champions League and Europa League competitions. with AP

What's behind UK foreign policy change on Palestinian state?
What's behind UK foreign policy change on Palestinian state? The new direction for the UK's foreign policy regarding the Middle East came shortly after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with US President Donald Trump in Scotland. Just a day later, on July 29, Starmer interrupted his cabinet ministers' summer break for an emergency meeting, after which the policy turnaround was presented in London. In a statement, Starmer, the leader of the center-left labour party, said the UK could recognise Palestine as a state as soon as September unless Israel's government moved toward meeting certain conditions, including a ceasefire, not annexing the occupied West Bank and committing to a long-term peace process. Britain believes "statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people," Starmer said. His government is using the recognition of a Palestinian state as a means of political pressure to push forward the so-called two-state solution. Until now, the UK has delayed its recognition of a Palestinian state in part because of the country's own historical responsibility. Between 1920 and 1948, Britain was the administrative power in Palestine, which had previously been part of the Ottoman Empire. In 1917, the British government issued a statement — the Balfour Declaration, named after then-British Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour — that said it supported the idea of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo The declaration was made without considering the rights of the Arab majority population there and the move went on to spark violence between local Arabs, immigrant Jews and the British administration. Two years after David Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel, announced the establishment of the State of Israel, Britain recognised the country. But when it came to recognising Palestine as a state, the UK regularly said that this had to be part of a peace deal. This was also strategic: Britain didn't want to jeopardize its relationships with the US or Israel. But this historical position has come under ever more pressure. The ongoing conflict in Gaza — fighting there began in October 2023 after an attack on Israel by the Gaza-based militant group Hamas, that resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 people and the kidnapping of 251 — has sowed serious internal divisions in the UK. In cities like London, Manchester and Glasgow, protesters regularly take to the streets in huge demonstrations calling for an end to the current conflict and Israeli occupation. Labour Party supporters favor Palestinian state These popular protests are supported by many local trade unions as well as left-leaning political organizations, such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Stop the War group (the latter also opposes Europeans fighting in Ukraine). Former labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn has also called for an end to weapons deliveries to Israel. In late July, Corbyn announced he was starting his own political party "to take on the rich and powerful." Corbyn was suspended from the Labour Party in 2020 after he said a report into antisemitism inside the party under his leadership had been exaggerated for "political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. " According to a YouGov survey undertaken on 24-25 July, around two-thirds of Labour supporters agree with the UK government's decision to recognise Palestine. Of the general public, the YouGov poll found that 45% think it's a good idea. In the British Parliament, 221 members have signed a letter calling for recognition of Palestine. Among the signatories were many Labour Party members. Ministers in Starmer's cabinet have also pushed in this direction. Starmer appears to have given in to the pressure, at least partially. But he reiterated the UK's support for Israel and demands on Hamas in the government statement on Tuesday. "We have been unequivocal in our condemnation of those evil attacks, and our support for the right of the State of Israel to self-defence. Hamas must immediately release all the hostages, sign up to an immediate ceasefire [...] and commit to disarmament. " At the same time though, he was critical of the Israeli government's military offensive and its policies in Gaza. "Now, in Gaza, because of a catastrophic failure of aid, we see starving babies, children too weak to stand, images that will stay with us for a lifetime. The suffering must end," he told journalists. Agencies warn of starvation in Gaza While the United Nations and leading aid agencies have repeatedly warned of the increasing risk of starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted there is no hunger in the enclave. The most recent figures from the health authorities in Gaza indicate that more than 60,000 people have died in Gaza as a result of the Israeli military offensive. Almost half of the dead were women and children. The Gaza health authorities are controlled by Hamas, which administers the enclave. However, the death toll is considered broadly reliable, including by the Israeli military, which has used the numbers in its own briefings. Israel has denied international journalists entry into Gaza since the beginning of Israel's siege, meaning DW has not been able to independently verify the death toll. A number of recent studies however, suggest it may actually be an undercount. Starmer's decision to recognise Palestine may also be a reaction to the fact that France plans to do the same during the UN General Assembly in early September. As French President Emmanuel Macron explained in Paris late last week, France wants to revitalize a peace process there and put international weight behind a two-state solution. Trump says Starmer 'rewarding Hamas' Unlike Macron, though, Starmer is only holding out the threat of recognition if Israel fails to move toward a ceasefire. Observers have argued that it's more of a balancing act for the UK, something between taking a moral stand and taking careful account of foreign relations with the US. Trump said he and Starmer had not, in fact, discussed a Palestinian state while in Scotland. Reacting to Starmer's announcement on Tuesday, Trump said, "I'm not going to take a position, I don't mind him taking a position." But later on, during his flight back to the US, Trump told reporters that Starmer was "rewarding Hamas." Israel's Netanyahu has described Starmer's plan as "appeasement towards jihadist terrorists." Currently, 147 out of 193 UN member states recognise Palestine as a state. However, what counts as a state is still disputed with different methods and prerequisites used to identify countries. Even so, several of the conditions usually accepted as necessary for a functioning state are presently not in place for Palestine. That includes a unified government, control over borders and security and clearly defined territory. In the statement announcing his government's change of course, Starmer emphasized that the Hamas group must "accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza" in the future.

Trinidad and Tobago's strategic significance for India: A partnership rooted in history and ambition
This visit, marking the first Prime Ministerial-level engagement between the two nations in over two decades, underscores Trinidad and Tobago's multifaceted importance to India's global strategic framework. Historical foundations and diaspora strength The relationship between India and Trinidad and Tobago traces its origins to 30 May 1845, when the ship Fatel Razack arrived bearing 225 Indian indentured labourers to the then-British colony. This migration continued until 1917, establishing one of the most significant Indian diaspora communities in the Western Hemisphere. Today, the descendants of these workers, now in their fifth and sixth generations, constitute approximately 40-45% of Trinidad and Tobago's 1.36 million population, making them the largest ethnic group in the demographic reality has profound implications for India's regional influence. Unlike many other Caribbean nations where Indian communities remain minorities, Trinidad and Tobago's Indian-origin population has achieved remarkable political and economic integration. The presence of two Indian-origin women—President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar—at the helm of the nation's governance structure exemplifies this community's political ascendancy and their continued connection to their ancestral gateway to the CaribbeanTrinidad and Tobago's geographical position and economic profile make it an invaluable gateway for India's Caribbean ambitions. The nation's strategic location at the southernmost tip of the Caribbean archipelago, coupled with its status as one of the region's wealthiest economies due to its energy resources, positions it as a natural hub for India's expanding trade and investment interests in the economic relationship between the two nations, though still developing, demonstrates significant potential. The Trade Agreement signed in January 1997, which accords Most Favoured Nation status to both countries, provides a solid foundation for commercial expansion. India's exports to Trinidad and Tobago primarily include vehicles, iron and steel, pharmaceuticals, and plastic products, whilst imports centre on mineral fuels and petroleum partnership and capacity buildingIndia's development partnership with Trinidad and Tobago reflects New Delhi's commitment to South-South cooperation. The 'Bringing High and Low Technology (HALT)' project, implemented through a US$1 million India-UNDP Fund initiative, exemplifies India's approach to addressing contemporary challenges through technological solutions. This project, which provided mobile healthcare robots, telemedicine systems, and hygiene stations during the pandemic, demonstrated India's capacity to deliver practical development agricultural machinery project, worth US$1 million and targeting the National Agriculture Marketing and Development Corporation, represents another dimension of India's development cooperation. These initiatives, coupled with capacity-building programmes under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme—which offers 85 civilian slots annually to Trinidad and Tobago—illustrate India's commitment to long-term human resource development in the diplomacy and soft powerThe preservation of Indian culture within Trinidad and Tobago's Indian diaspora community provides India with unparalleled soft power advantages in the Caribbean. Festivals such as Diwali, Holi, and Dussehra are celebrated with state recognition, whilst languages like Bhojpuri continue to be spoken across generations. This cultural continuity creates natural bridges for deeper engagement in education, arts, and spiritual upcoming community event of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the National Cycling Velodrome in Couva, expected to attract over 4,000 attendees, exemplifies the emotional resonance of India's cultural diplomacy. These diaspora connections transcend mere ceremonial significance, providing India with authentic grassroots support for its regional initiatives and serving as cultural ambassadors for Indian values and and economic complementarityTrinidad and Tobago's energy resources create opportunities for complementary economic engagement with India's growing energy needs. The nation's position as a significant producer of liquefied natural gas and petroleum products aligns with India's diversification strategy for energy imports. Furthermore, Trinidad and Tobago's interest in renewable energy technologies—particularly solar and wind power—presents opportunities for Indian companies to leverage their expertise in these potential for cooperation extends beyond traditional energy to encompass emerging sectors such as information technology, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Trinidad and Tobago's relatively advanced infrastructure and skilled workforce, combined with its preferential trade agreements within the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), make it an attractive platform for Indian companies seeking to establish regional prospects and strategic visionPrime Minister Modi's visit, culminating in his address to a Joint Sitting of Trinidad and Tobago's Parliament and the conferment of the highest civilian honour, the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, signals a new chapter in bilateral relations. The expected signing of multiple Memoranda of Understanding across sectors including health, agriculture, information technology, and renewable energy will institutionalise cooperation frameworks for the coming visit's timing, coinciding with the 180th anniversary of Indian arrival in Trinidad and Tobago, provides symbolic weight to India's commitment to its Caribbean partnerships. As India seeks to expand its influence in the Global South whilst maintaining its democratic values and development-focused approach, Trinidad and Tobago emerges as both a model and a partner in this India, Trinidad and Tobago represents more than a bilateral relationship; it embodies the potential for diaspora-driven diplomacy, South-South cooperation, and the strategic expansion of Indian influence in the Americas. The nation's significance lies not merely in its current contributions but in its potential to serve as a bridge between India's aspirations and the Caribbean's development needs, creating a partnership that benefits both regions whilst advancing shared interests on the global stage. - Ends advertisement

Resistance, rhythm and freedom: The jazz drummer who beat the odds in apartheid South Africa
Louis Tebugo Moholo-Moholo was born in St Monica's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa on 10 March 1940. He'd not have appreciated that introduction, once chastising an interviewer: 'Ah, no! My name is this; I was born by the river? You want me to start like that? You want me to do all that stuff?' In fact, asked by another journalist to reflect on where he came from, 'he immediately slid into the power salute of the anti-apartheid movement'. Those two responses sum up the drum master who died on June 13, 2025: a self-effacing but defiantly straight talker with a deep grasp of the politics of the music work – playing, composing, teaching – he devoted his life to. Early years But for the sake of the record we need to do some of that stuff. Like most South African families, his had travelled: first from neighbouring Lesotho to the diamond fields of the Free State province and then, as in his father's case, from there to Cape Town in search of better employment. His family wasn't musical (though he recalls his father occasionally playing piano) but enjoyed music. His father would tune in to broadcasts for the then-British naval base at Simonstown, where the young Louis 'liked what I heard – Ted Heath, Big Sid Catlett – and later found out it was jazz'. He was drawn to rhythm from an early age, excited by the beats he could create by banging the family sink with sticks or rattling his ruler along a fence on the way home from school. Watching the Scouts marching band, he recalled: 'It used to fascinate me the way the cat on the big bass drum used to swing that thing and play boom-boom-boom. I would play on top of a tin can just imitating…' Eventually he was admitted to the Mother City Junior Scouts Band, playing the kettle drums. 'But they got taken away because the scoutmaster said I was playing too much. I was unruly – but I had tasted the real thing and now I couldn't leave it!' 'Self-taught' – the term many obituaries have used – had a particular meaning in apartheid South Africa, where Black learners were barred from formal music schooling. Moholo-Moholo tried visiting the University of Cape Town to find out about music classes 'but the guy (at the gate) wouldn't even let me get into the premises'. So 'self-taught' for musicians under apartheid actually meant being schooled by senior musicians within the community. There he observed people playing traditional and more modern popular music, like kwela and mbaqanga and began to learn from experience. The first band he joined was the Young Rhythm Chordettes and he gigged around Cape Town with many other musicians. Veteran drummer Phaks Joya was his first jazz rhythm mentor. In and out of jail Moholo (who double-barreled his surname later) came to national consciousness after joining tenor saxophonist Ronnie Beer 's group the Swinging City Six. At the 1962 Johannesburg Cold Castle Festival, the 22-year-old Moholo tied for drum first prize with Early Mabuza, already reckoned the top jazz drummer in the country. Preparing for the festival solidified his relationship with pianist Chris McGregor. Moholo was arrested and sent to jail under South Africa's infamous pass laws. McGregor found out and helped get him released. They got into McGregor's car and headed straight for rehearsal. That typifies how apartheid was stifling movement and creativity. As a South African jazz researcher I have often focussed on this period. Racially mixed groups could not be on the same stage (Moholo-Moholo often had to play behind a curtain). Being caught without a pass (ID document) after dark meant jail. Under states of emergency, gatherings of more than four people (including rehearsals) could be counted conspiracies – and playing for political gatherings definitely were. His kit was smashed up more than once by the police. Play Like many of his contemporaries, Moholo-Moholo broke all the rules regularly. As a result he was in and out of jail. At one point he was handed over to a potato farmer to serve his sentence through indentured labour. ('I was sold, man! Can you believe it? Sold!') McGregor, a white South African, could sometimes evade restrictions when playing in black residential areas called townships by putting polish on his face and pulling his cap right down. But that trick couldn't work the other way round when they needed to play in white areas. And that's why, when Moholo-Moholo and McGregor co-founded one of South Africa's most famous jazz bands ever, the Blue Notes, they chose that name. It wasn't simply an allusion to cultural ties across the Atlantic. They were blue. They played all the notes. Apartheid left Moholo-Moholo with a righteous, lifelong fury against injustice, but not bitterness. He always saw beyond race. A legend is born The next part of the drummer's story – the band's invitation to a French music festival and the extended, often precarious sojourn of its members in Europe – is well documented. Two aspects drew Moholo-Moholo to the improvised jazz and free music scene in Europe. The first was that it chimed with African heritage music: 'We don't count 1-2-3-4-5 and then play. You just pick up your horn or whatever and then you blow. And everyone else just chips in.' But the second was the politics: 'I just wanted to be free, totally free, even in music … It's just so beautiful. 'Let my people go!' … It's a cry from the inside; no inhibitions…' Moholo-Moholo's South African passport was withdrawn because of his anti-apartheid activities. Exile overseas wasn't easy. He famously observed: 'If I could be born again and know I'm going to come to be in exile, then no way (would I take up music), because exile is a fucker.' The South Africans worked intensely hard, but still met racism. The commercialisation of the western music scene depressed him. He had to play to pay the rent, rather than to play free. It's impossible to fully map Moholo-Moholo's distinguished European career. There are close to 100 recordings, as leader, collaborator and sideman. He led and worked in jazz groups including McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath and founded Viva La Black. There were the short-lived Afro-rock project Assagai and too many collaborations with big name jazz artists to list here. Moholo-Moholo was acknowledged universally as a pioneer and lion of the international free jazz scene. His early drum heroes and mentors, Sid Catlett from the US and Phaks Joya, were both players with a big, domineering sound. (When drummers do a loud 'ooh-yah, ooh-yah' closing flourish, it's Catlett they're echoing.) Moholo-Moholo took from them that potential for muscular, powerhouse volume. Play But while he could – and did – use it, he was also capable of delicate, intricate fretworks, subtle pulses, gentle conversations with other, quieter instruments. He was a drummer who listened intently to what his comrades on the stand were doing, and offered what they needed as well as what he must say. Through it all, he missed home. When he returned to South Africa from London in 2005 (at first for a festival) he was overjoyed by the defeat of apartheid, saddened that the rest of his Blue Notes family hadn't lived to make it back with him, and optimistic about the future. The South African jazz community welcomed him gladly and respectfully, and there were joyous creative collaborations like Born To Be Black. There were festival headline appearances, retrospectives and honours – including an honorary doctorate from the university whose gate guard had chased him away those many years ago, and national orders. Although local audiences loved him, he was still offered many more overseas gigs and his towering international stature grew. Play And as he grew older, emotionally wounded by the death of his beloved wife Mpumie, and physically weakened by a near-death encounter with Covid, travelling and working (and thus earning) became increasingly exhausting. Official words were rarely accompanied by any practical interest in the day-to-day circumstances of his survival. But I don't believe Louis Moholo-Moholo would want his story to end on that note. He chose to live his life in freedom and resistance because: 'There was a war on and we couldn't let them win.' Celebrate that life and its magnificent creativity, because he'd probably tell South Africans we still can't taste true freedom
