In Ukraine’s Kharkiv, ballet offers ‘rebirth’ after bombs and bullets

May 31, 202545 Views

In the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, it’s hard to escape the war with Russia. On some days, when the wind blows in the right direction, residents of the historic city can hear the boom of artillery fire from the front line, some 30 km (20 miles) away. Most nights, Russian kamikaze drones packed with explosives buzz over apartment buildings as parents put their children to bed. Frequently - but unpredictably - a Russian ballistic missile will slam into the city. Three years on from Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, for many people in Kharkiv, the war and its unrelenting, inescapable proximity, takes a mental toll. Ballet dancers practise for the revival of 'Chopiniana,' the first since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in the underground area of the National Aca...

Like most Parisians, I’m a transplant from elsewhere — specifically sunny Provence, where it's practically a civic duty to cheer for the rival football team, Olympique de Marseille, and complain about the haughty residents of the French capital. But as the French actor Sacha Guitry once said, “Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris; it's about being reborn there.” I first moved to Paris in my early twenties and, like many before me, was immediately enthralled by the city. But Paris felt like a sleeping beauty in the early 2000s: the economy was stagnant, unemployment was high, and losing the 2012 Olympic bid to London made it feel as though the future was being written elsewhere. By the time I returned to the city in 2012 as an energy correspondent for Reuters following stin...

The Moonhouse - A Swedish Red Cottage is about to make history History is about to be made. On June 5 at 09:24 PM CET, a tiny red house — a traditional Swedish cottage — is set to become the first house ever to land on the Moon. After traveling through space for more than four months aboard the Japanese lunar lander RESILIENCE, the artwork known as The Moonhouse now enters its most critical phase: a soft landing in Mare Frigoris — the Sea of Cold.

The Moonhouse and TENACIOUS, Astronautcenter Cologne. "Not as a scientific outpost or political symbol," says Genberg, "but as a quiet reminder of humanit...

Parish rooms turned into B&B in impoverished Palermo district Tourism brings benefits but requires strategy, councillor says Most residents happy with revenues, but some complain Operators say visitors improved city after mafia war In a rundown neighbourhood of Sicily's capital Palermo, a whitewashed old farmhouse that accommodates pilgrims now offers two rooms to tourists for bed and breakfast after a renovation.

Black-winged white stilts wade through a salt pan, plunging their beaks into the water in search for food at the Kalloni bay on the Greek island of Lesbos, as bird-lovers watch through binoculars from afar. Stilts are one of more than 330 species found in the wetlands of Kalloni and elsewhere in Lesbos, which have established the island as a European hotspot for birdwatchers from around the world since the 1990s. "We have some very special birds that are breeders on the island, like the Cinereous Bunting or the Kruper's Nuthatch, the Masked Shrike," local environmental scientist and bird guide Eleni Galinou said.

Helsinki clears up the biggest sauna misconception Eurovision has sparked global curiosity about one of Finland's most iconic traditions: the sauna. But for many, the idea of stepping into one comes with uncertainty — do you have to be naked, is talking allowed, and what's with the felt hat? Now Helsinki is inviting everyone to experience a sauna culture that's less about rules and more about what feels right. As Eurovision fans set their sights on Basel, another cultural star is quietly gaining global attention: the Finnish sauna. While many may recognise the image of a steamy wooden room and a plunge into icy water, the act of stepping into a sauna can feel surprisingly intimidating. While international audiences seem to be genuinely intr...
