      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 30 April 2026

    Move comes as airline industry reacts to uncertainty over Iran war and increase in price of Brent crude

    Air France-KLM has cut its capacity growth forecasts for this year as the Iran war drives up its fuel costs by billions of dollars.

    The French-Dutch airline expects its fuel bill to increase by $2.4bn (£1.8bn) this year as a result of the surge in costs since the Middle East conflict began. In response, it has trimmed its expectations for capacity growth to between 2% and 4% this year, down from 3% to 5% previously.

      ‘What we’re doing is real justice’: how one New York gym built a pipeline away from prison

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 30 April 2026 • 1 minute

    Debra Granik’s five-hour documentary shows a former drug dealer turned entrepreneur striving to beat a system that continues to punish those that have served time

    Over a decade ago, in a more affordable though no less cutthroat era of New York City , the film-maker Debra Granik met Coss Marte at a diner in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Granik, a chronicler of rugged self-reliance in the features Leave No Trace and Winter’s Bone , was interested in making a drama on recalibrating to life after prison. Marte, a former drug dealer incarcerated for seven years by the time he was 27, was an expert. After developing his own workout while serving five years in prison, he had come up with a business plan for a gym run entirely by fellow returning citizens. “I lost over 70lbs in six months in a prison cell, and now I’m hiring people coming out of the prison system to teach fitness classes,” he would say, joking that his six by nine cell for solitary confinement was a similar size to some New York apartments.

    Granik was fascinated. “He was defying all the odds,” the film-maker told me on a Zoom call this April. That Marte was set on becoming a successful entrepreneur by employing people almost entirely out of the carceral system was near unprecedented. “Coss was like, ‘I don’t know where my destiny will lead me, but I am using all my energy to not get re-ensnared in the criminal justice system.’” Granik recalled. So she started filming a documentary. “From there, we just never stopped recording,” Marte told me.

      Creaky knees be damned – Charlize Theron is showing us what’s possible at 50 | Emma Brockes

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 30 April 2026 • 1 minute

    Her new film, Apex, may not be Citizen Kane, but how refreshing to see a middle-aged actor as a female action hero – and looking the part too

    If you are in your 50s, 40s or even late 30s and feel as though things are rapidly heading south, might I point you in the direction of Apex , the 95-minute action movie that launched last week on Netflix and is currently parked at No 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. You may think Apex, which has almost no dialogue, a paper-thin script and plot holes the size of the Australian outback in which it was filmed, is not for you, but you would be wrong. Next time you make a noise when you get up from the sofa, you can visualise Charlize Theron free-climbing a cliff face in peak middle age and remind yourself these things are still possible.

    What’s startling about this is that Theron, at 50, appears to have successfully outrun the Hollywood dead end that greets women on their 34th birthday. She could be unrecognisable from surgery while clinging to the reboot of some earlier role. She could be trapped in Yorgos Lanthimos-style whimsy, because what could be more whimsical and grotesque than an ageing female actor? She could be playing someone’s mother – specifically, the mother of a male actor some five years her junior. Instead, Theron has been everywhere in the past fortnight, dominating the social-media feeds, crowding out the increasingly desperate-looking publicity push from the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2, and shinning up a wall in Times Square in New York to promote a film that is basically an instructional climbing video with a serial killer subplot.

    Data tool could help NHS prioritise who gets access to limited weight-loss medication, say scientists

    A new tool that can shed light on who is most at risk of obesity-related diseases could help identify people who would benefit most from weight-loss medications, researchers have said.

    Recent data suggests about two-thirds of adults in England are overweight or obese – a situation that has caused concern among health experts.

      ‘I really was one of those bandwagon fans’: meet Katharina Nowak, F1’s youngest race president

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 30 April 2026

    Before her first Miami Grand Prix in charge, Nowak opens up on F1’s boom time in the US and flying the flag for women in the sport

    There is an air of buoyant confidence about Katharina Nowak that is striking but also understandable given the robust state of Formula One in the United States and at the Miami Grand Prix, where the 29-year-old who is at the helm of the race believes the sport only has more to come.

    “F1 is at its strongest right now that we’ve seen, the interest in F1 is still going up and will go further,” she says in the buildup to this weekend’s meeting in Florida. “From my seat at the table, we are seeing the interest continue to grow.

      Last Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants to close, with loss of 3,800 jobs, Premier Inn owner says

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 30 April 2026

    Whitbread to call time on restaurants in UK and Ireland blaming higher costs and taxes for latest strategic reset

    Premier Inn owner Whitbread is to cut about 3,800 jobs in the UK and Ireland and shut its remaining Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants as it resets its five-year business strategy, amid tax rises and pressure from a US activist investor .

    The cuts will affect about 12% of Whitbread’s 30,000-strong workforce in the UK and Ireland working in its Beefeater and Brewers Fayre restaurants, which are usually located next to, or inside, Premier Inn hotels. The company said consultations with affected employees would begin immediately.
