The resumption of international travel pits new lives against old dreams for Australians who returned from overseas during the Covid-19 pandemicTo live and work overseas is a rite of passage for many Australians.

More than a million Australian citizens were forced to choose between riding out the pandemic in a foreign country, or returning to the relative safety of Australia.Since March 2020, it is estimated about half of those living abroad chose to come back, while tens of thousands wished to return but were unable to.

Protesters link woman’s death by septic shock to new restrictions on ending unviable pregnanciesProtesters turned out in Warsaw and many other Polish cities on Saturday to decry the country’s restrictive abortion law, which they say has led to the death of a pregnant woman who had medical problems.The protesters held portraits of the woman, 30-year-old Iza, who died from septic shock in hospital in Pszczyna, southern Poland, in September. Her death had just been publicised in the last week. Doctors at the hospital held off terminating her 22-week pregnancy despite the fact that her foetus lacked enough amniotic fluid to survive, her family and a lawyer have said. Continue reading...

2021-11-06 21:00:11 Ben Youngs and Jonny May lead rampant England to rout of Tonga

England 69-3 TongaMarcus Smith scores one of England’s 11 triesThis was always destined to be a day when the number of points accrued by England felt a relatively minor detail.

I’ve had the privilege of hearing their stories and feel obliged to testify for them,” she says. To Me You Are Valuable is a tapestry series created from selfies sent to her by youngsters denied asylum. It’s on show now in the Cordis prize exhibition at Inverleith House, Edinburgh.
