“Heidi: The Rescue of the Lynx,” co-produced by Germany’s Studio 100, Belgium’s Hotel Hungarian and Spain’s 3Doubles – with much of the work carried out at its Bizkaia-based subsidiary Sumendi Uhartea – opened this week in Spanish theaters after earlier bows in Germany and the U.K. 3Doubles’ trajectory mirrors the broader rise of the Canary Islands as an animation hub. Backed by the Special Zone tax regime, the Canary Islands’ animation industry has scaled in under a decade from two small shops to over 15 studios generating some 800 jobs a year, delivering work for Warner Bros., Netflix, Apple, Amazon…

“Where shall we go on holiday?” would not, ideally, be a stressful question.But the world in 2025 is far from ideal, and summer breaks in Europe and North America are no exception. Holiday hotspots are being ravaged by heat, fire, floods and drought as fossil fuel pollution warps the climate – and travelling to reach them in planes or on cruise ships spews far more planet-heating gas than anything else you and I are likely to do. (Rocket enthusiasts such as Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos, I assume, have not yet subscribed to Down to Earth.)It’s hard to relax by…

The nuclear danger today is greater than at any time since the Cold War. The world faces the prospect of a renewed arms race, this time unconstrained by the agreements that for decades kept catastrophe at bay. It is estimated that there are now 12,241 nuclear warheads worldwide. Arms control is unravelling before our eyes: Inspections under the New START treaty, the last remaining arms control agreement between the United States and Russia, remain suspended, and with its expiration in February 2026, there is no successor in sight. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty is gone, the Treaty on Open Skies…

In June, Mark Zuckerberg went for the ultimate Hail Mary in the ever-intensifying AI race: He spun up a brand-new Meta AI lab after making a $14.3 billion acquisition of Scale AI — and then spending billions more hiring some of the industry’s preeminent researchers and engineers.Fast-forward a couple of months, and Zuckerberg may have recruited the talent, but now the question is whether he’ll be able to keep it from slipping through his fingers.For that, we’ll have to wait and see. After all, Meta rebranded its entire AI division as “Meta Superintelligence Labs,” a division of thousands of people.…

It is a weekday morning and I am standing beside Pierce Brosnan on a deserted backstreet, watching a woman in a hairnet and white wellies hosing down the entrance to a fishmarket. The former James Bond is in full flow. “You know the scene in MobLand where I’ve got my foot on that guy’s throat and Tom Hardy is shooting the shit out of everyone?” He is talking in his rich, buttery burr about the recent series in which he and Helen Mirren play the heads of an Irish crime family. “We shot that right here!” He waves at the…

The eight teams who finished bottom of their division last year will all want to go from worst to first – but some have far greater chances than others on paper.Cleveland Browns: They only team in the NFL not to win a division since the 2002 realignment, their last was in 1989, and don’t bank on this being the year for their first worst-to-first finish.The defence remains solid, elite even, but that quarterback room with Shedeur Sanders and 40-year-old Joe Flacco doesn’t look great and a tough division containing the Baltimore Ravens, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers gives…

Let’s face it: Your phone’s built-in sound sucks, so you need a portable Bluetooth speaker. Sure, everything is relative, and those phone speakers are amazing compared to what, say, a 2005 flip phone sounded like. But do we really want to justify our tech based on when people published think-pieces on how texting was the new hotness? No, we do not. So while we can admit you can hear musical…

Athleta’s new CEO needs to rediscover the power of she to revive its fortunes. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Athleta)Getty Images for Athleta New Athleta CEO Maggie Gauger has hardly had a month in the top job at Gap Inc.’s athleisure brand but already the heat is on. The third CEO hired to lead Athleta in the last two years, it was an undoubted coup for Athleta when it tapped the head of Nike’s women’s business in North America as its next CEO, bringing in both a seasoned professional and delivering a setback to Nike as it focuses on…

I tested the Mic 3 with cameras, computers, and smartphones, using both direct connection and receiver connection methods. It paired painlessly with everything I threw at it, from my mirrorless camera to my iPhone, and the audio quality remained consistently excellent across different devices and environments. It’s part of the OsmoAudio system too, meaning the transmitter can directly link with DJI cameras like the Osmo 360, Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Osmo Pocket 3, bypassing the receiver entirely while still offering high-quality audio.Missing PiecesPhotograph: Sam KieldsenThe Mic 3 isn’t perfect, but I found little to complain about. The transmitters no…

The Gifford Fire, the largest fire to burn in California so far this year, started near a road. Research shows wildfires are more likely to start within 50 feet of a road than they are farther out.
