Part of the Let’s Dance International Frontiers festival, Compagnie Kaméléonite’s piece about the climate crisis features two transfixing performers

In the once clear waters of the Caribbean, floating mats of toxic brown seaweed called sargassum blanket the water for months on end, exacerbated by the climate crisis and pollution. The result is a threat to biodiversity and livelihoods, and when it washes ashore, it emits gases harmful to human health, causing headaches, nausea and breathing problems.

This pressing, true story is the basis for choreographer Marlène Myrtil’s Océan Brun, informed by interviews with people living in Guadeloupe and Martinique, where Myrtil’s Compagnie Kaméléonite is based. This is the first time the piece has been seen outside Martinique, a move typical of the Let’s Dance International Frontiers festival in Leicester, which gives a platform to global artists every year, all from the African and African-Caribbean diaspora.

• Packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches

• Fifa selling individual suites in former group sections

Fifa is upping efforts to sell luxury hospitality tickets for the World Cup, with packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches at the expanded tournament.

Mexico’s Group A opener against South Korea and one last-32 fixture expected to feature Spain are the only matches showing a lack of availability on Fifa’s hospitality platform, and a new category – “suite essentials” – has been added to lower-profile games, allowing customers to buy an individual ticket for a suite that would previously have been sold to a group.

Greg Jackson argues against costly investments in UK’s power grid that are adding to household bills

The boss of the UK’s biggest energy supplier has suggested that some households would accept an occasional electricity blackout in exchange for much lower energy bills.

A year on from Europe’s largest power outage – which left tens of millions of people in Spain and Portugal without trains, metros, traffic lights, ATMs, phone connections and internet access – the chief executive of Octopus Energy argued against costly investments in the UK’s power grid that are adding to household bills.

King skillfully appeals to Republicans fond of Britain and Democrats anxious about rules-based order in state visit

For his last trick, the king revealed a bell that hung from the conning tower of a Royal Navy submarine launched from a UK shipyard in 1944. Its name was HMS Trump. “And should you ever need to get hold of us,” Charles III said , “well, just give us a ring.”

The polished brass bell bearing the name “Trump”, presented at Tuesday’s state dinner at the White House, was an ego-flattering masterstroke that will have prompted groans in foreign capitals from Paris to Canberra to Tokyo. How can they ever hope to match that?

Green Party leader shares statement after open letter from Met police chief Mark Rowley

As the May elections creep closer, the leadership speculation at Westminster grows more intense. Is Keir Starmer safe and, if so, for how long?

In her analysis piece below, the Guardian’s political editor Pippa Crerar explores the state of prime minister’s leadership, why discontent is building within Labour and who the most likely challengers could be.

Colombia hosted nearly 60 countries at pivotal time on world stage for fight to transition to a clean energy future

Looking out to sea from the grey sandy beaches of Santa Marta, on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, it is never hard to spot evidence of the country’s thriving fossil fuel export trade. Oil tankers ride at anchor on the horizon, and sometimes, locals say, lumps of coal wash up on the shore, blown off the collier ships that carry cargos from the nearby mines.

It was here, on Wednesday evening, that the Colombian government took a bold step to shift its economy – and that of the rest of the world – away from dependence on coal, gas and oil and into a new era of clean energy. With the first ever conference on “transitioning away from fossil fuels”, the host joined nearly 60 countries determined to loosen of the grip of petrostates on the world’s future.

By Monday morning, the shape of next season’s Premier League will be clearer. Saturday lunchtime stages the final round of the actual best league in the world , the Championship. One of Ipswich, Millwall and Middlesbrough will join Frank Lampard’s Coventry in being a top-division club by 3pm, Rochdale-esque pitch invasions permitting, as automatic promotion is boxed off. There’s also a race for sixth, another triple-header, where plucky, Disney/tech bro/Hollywood-backed Wrexham kick off a point ahead of Hull and Derby in the chase for the playoffs. Will Ryan and Rob be there? Boro are the opposition, so will Chubby Brown and Jeff Winter be there?

Re: Scott Parker’s Burnley exit ( yesterday’s Football Daily ). A manager who has masterminded three promotions and two relegations clearly knows what practice makes ” – Rob Crouch.

Just wanted to say thanks for the Wilco reference in the last line (yesterday’s Football Daily, full email edition). In the middle of a very busy work day, it really was a shot in the arm” – David Kramer (and others).

Regarding yesterday’s last line, there’s plenty of choice descriptions from that Wilco song for the end of the relationship between Burnley and Scott Parker, but the clear one is this: what Burnley once were isn’t what they wanna be any more. To be fair, Parker could be forgiven for thinking ‘oh, you’ve changed’ upon receiving the news, but the club could have told him they needed a shot in the arm and cut him loose six months ago” – Colin Durant.

Purcell Room, London
Works by Kaija Saariaho, Imogen Holst and Chaines were woven into Manchester Collective’s concert that blended music with dance, theatre and multimedia, with cellist Laura van der Heijden at its heart

Collaboration is an artform in itself, as Southbank Centre’s Multitudes festival has demonstrated over two weeks of sometimes divisive but never-less-than stimulating creative cross-fertilisation. This final concert, fusing wildly contrasting disciplines, was among the most nourishing, a performance in which each partner had immersed themselves in the working practices of the others. The palpable sense of collegiality and mutual respect was as heartwarming as the music-making.

The subject was butterflies, nature’s metamorphic miracles, whose complex physiological processes and unerring sense of purpose culminate in an eruption of kaleidoscopic colours. The multifaceted theatrical melange was the brainchild of experimental music pioneers Manchester Collective , cellist Laura van der Heijden , composer Chaines (Cee Haines ), dance theatre company Thick & Tight the Camberwell Incredibles , an arts collective of adults with learning disabilities. The three musical works, each one introduced for the visually or aurally impaired, couldn’t have been more different – Kaija Saariaho’s coruscating Sept Papillons, Imogen Holst’s delicate The Fall of the Leaf and a new multimedia work by Chaines entitled oysters sing of silkworms – yet the whole was invariably more than the sum of its parts.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff in your life? Understanding why we hold on to things is the first step in finding a healthy way to let go

Most of us have a complicated relationship with our stuff. There’s the endless collection of chargers and wires, the overflowing “everything drawer” in the kitchen, the tote bag of tote bags. Clutter is not a character flaw. It is, more often than not, a conversation your home is having with you about something deeper.

As an integrative therapist, I regularly hear that conversation. Clutter rarely arrives as just a tidying problem. It carries anxiety, grief, identity, shame and transition. Understanding what lies beneath is often the first step to being free of it.
