Georgia senator Jon Ossoff slams racist posts allegedly from Republican opponent’s ex-staffer
Representative Mike Collins has been dogged by associations to white nationalism and antisemitism
The US senator for Georgia Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, has slammed a “disgraceful and disqualifying” report that a former staffer for his Trump-backed Republican challenger Mike Collins shared images online of a swastika and depicting himself in Ku Klux Klan robes.
It is the latest instance of someone in Collins’s orbit facing scrutiny over racist or white nationalist conduct. Ossoff called the report “stunning” and said it “should shock the conscience of every Georgian”.

Anyone who interpreted Uefa’s decision to withdraw a proposed boycott of Fifa competitions, revealed by the Guardian on Wednesday, as a backward step in the attempt to remove Gianni Infantino as Fifa’s president has been quickly disabused of that notion.
In a stunning development that overshadowed one of the biggest days in the European football calendar as national football federation and club executives gathered for the Champions League draw in Monte Carlo, Uefa announced it was preparing to make a legal complaint against Infantino in Switzerland alleging “criminal mismanagement” for his role in the failed World Cup sell-off plan.

Grand Theft Auto VI’s long-overdue gameplay reveal – as it happened
Under some strange circumstances, Rockstar broadcast the first (official) gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto VI, the most-anticipated game of the year. Here’s everything you need to know.
Ah yes, it’s a drug den. We’re in familiar GTA territory here: narcotics, smart phones, tattooed gangsters and a police raid. The duo shoot their way out of the room – the gunplay is very familiar to the series – third-person over the shoulder. I’m getting a distinct True Romance/Leon vibe to this chaos.
These closeup slow-motion kill shots are giving me flashbacks to Fallout 3 and its slightly sickening VATS violence.

Chelsea have agreed a £7.5m deal to sign the Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and are expecting Manchester City to make an offer for Enzo Fernández in the next 48 hours.
Xabi Alonso identified the signing of a goalkeeper as a priority after Robert Sánchez struggled against Fulham on Monday and the deal for Martínez has gone through quickly. The Argentina international is out of favour at Villa after their acquisition of Zion Suzuki and is due to sign a two-year contract with the option of a further year.

Novak Djokovic faces Mariano Navone in first round
Carlos Alcaraz has been handed a tough draw on his return to singles competition after a four-month injury layoff as he faces the in-form Russian Roman Safiullin in the first round of the US Open.
Alcaraz, the defending champion in New York, has not competed in singles since sustaining a right wrist injury at the Barcelona Open in April, with the Spaniard missing the French Open, where he was also the defending champion, and Wimbledon. He was understandably rusty and tentative with his first serve when making his first competitive appearance since the injury alongside Serena Williams in the mixed doubles event on Tuesday, with the pair losing in the quarter-finals and the 44-year-old Williams even outperforming him during large parts of their time on court. His opening match against the world No 98 Safiullin, who has risen more than 100 places in the world rankings this year after returning from injury and defeated Alcaraz indoors at the Paris Masters in 2023, will be a significant first challenge.

Second Test, day one: England 248-9 v Pakistan

Footage of Brydon Carse kept flashing up on the big screens at Lord’s on Thursday. Not that footage, of course, but rather the headline-grabbing fast bowler enjoying a refreshing can of the fizzy apple juice that is English cricket’s “official drinks break partner”. In fairness, both clips make a decent advert for sticking to the softies.
In Carse’s absence – not that he was likely to play in the second Test – the metaphorical clouds hanging over this England team made way for the real thing. After being stuck in on a nibbling slow surface, a Swiss clock-precise seamer like Pakistan’s Mohammad Abbas was only ever going to be a handful.

Applying serums or creams with retinol—a vitamin A-derivative known for its anti-aging and acne-fighting properties—may be a mainstay in your skin-care routine. Some social-media influencers claim you can benefit by “eating your retinol” in the form of carrot-dense salads. Is that true?
“The answer is yes and no,” says Dr. Lawrence Green, a clinical professor of dermatology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and vice president of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The “eating your retinol” trend centers on the “retinol salad,” which typically includes ribboned carrots, garlic, vinegar, peppers, sesame oil, and lime juice, though recipes vary. The idea is that carrots are packed with beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), which some influencers claim your body converts to retinol, similar to what’s found in skin-care products.
“This is a great skin-saving salad, but I think the name is misleading,” says Dr. Rajani Katta, a dermatologist and author of Glow: The Dermatologist’s Guide to a Whole Foods, Younger Skin Diet. The retinol salad provides vitamin A, which is good for the skin, but it’s not the same as applying an over-the-counter retinol or prescription retinoid topically, she explains.
Here’s what to know about the role of vitamin A and skin health, and whether the “retinol salad” offers any skin benefits.
What’s the difference between the vitamin A in carrots vs. retinol?
Vitamin A helps maintain the health of several vital organs, including the heart, reproductive system, eyes, and skin, says Amy Bragagnini, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Beta-carotene, a natural pigment that gives red and orange fruits and vegetables their color, is a precursor to vitamin A, meaning your body needs to convert it to the vitamin, Bragagnini says.
It’s true that the body converts beta-carotene into retinol (which is preformed vitamin A, or its active form). But it’s “not an efficient conversion,” Green says. “It happens, but it takes a lot of beta-carotene to get a lesser amount of retinol.”
You can actually get retinol directly from foods, including eggs, milk, and beef liver, Katta adds.
Is eating vitamin A the same as applying retinoids or retinol?
A 2025 systematic review found that topical and dietary carotenoids (a group of plant compounds that include beta-carotene) offer anti-aging skin benefits, including lowered inflammation and improved hydration and elasticity.
However, eating a retinol salad or other forms of beta-carotene “nowhere compares to putting retinol directly on your skin as a cream,” Green says.
When applied topically, retinol penetrates your skin, where it can speed up cell turnover and boost collagen production, Katta says. Research shows that topical retinol can improve fine lines, hyperpigmentation, roughness, and signs of sun damage. Retinol can also exfoliate and plump the skin and help treat and manage acne.
Consuming carrots or other foods rich in beta-carotene is an inefficient way to get these benefits, since your body has to go through the process to convert it into vitamin A, Katta explains.
The retinol salad is still good for your skin. But its benefits mainly come from the antioxidants in the ingredients, rather than the potential to add retinol to your diet, Green says.
Antioxidants help maintain skin health by reducing the effects of oxidative stress from the environment, such as ultraviolet light radiation and pollution, research shows. Antioxidants also protect against free radicals, or unstable molecules that lead to premature aging and collagen breakdown, Katta says.
Are there any downsides to the ‘retinol salad’?
Beta-carotene from dietary sources is typically safe for most people, even in high levels, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. However, too much preformed vitamin A, which you could get from overusing vitamin A supplements—or, less commonly, by eating too many vitamin A-rich foods—could be toxic, potentially causing blurry vision, dry skin, nausea, or vomiting.
One potential downside to the salad, Bragagnini says, is that eating too many carrots could cause beta-carotene to build up in your blood and possibly turn your skin a “yellow-orange color.”
If you don’t normally consume vegetables, which are fiber-rich, eating too many at once could upset your digestive system, she says.
What’s the best diet for healthy skin?
“I encourage my patients to make sure they are eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables,” at least five servings a day, Bragagnini says.
Fruits and vegetables contain different antioxidants that protect your skin from damage from UV rays and pollution, she says. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds, reduce inflammation in the body, which may guard against skin conditions.
Also, limit sugar, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods, like cookies, bacon, and sugar-sweetened beverages, Bragagnini adds. These foods may increase oil production in the skin and affect collagen production.
Overall, Green recommends the Mediterranean diet, which incorporates many of these principles and has been shown to benefit overall health. Research shows that the diet can also help manage inflammatory skin conditions, like acne or psoriasis.
Yet diet alone is “not going to necessarily change your skin in a month,” Katta says. It’s a long-term approach.
When to see a dermatologist about your skin
If you’re struggling with acne or are bothered by age-related changes like wrinkles, sagginess, or sun spots, see a dermatologist.
For acne, doctors can prescribe topical retinoids like tazarotene or tretinoin, oral retinoids such as isotretinoin, or other types of medications, Green says. The goal is to clear breakouts, prevent new ones, and minimize scarring, Katta adds. Dermatologists may also recommend dietary or other lifestyle changes.
Addressing wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and other age-related changes depends on the individual person and their skin issue, Green says. For example, dermatologists may prescribe retinoids or recommend Botox, fillers, laser treatments, or microneedling.
“We can look at your skin and help direct you,” Green says, and that includes helping you develop a tailored skin-care routine.
Over-the-counter retinol serums, creams, and other products are available, too. Katta says they’re beneficial but not as potent as prescription retinoids. Retinol also hasn't been studied as extensively as retinoids, so there’s not as much evidence on its effectiveness, Green says.
Taking care of your skin should be a holistic approach that includes diet, and the retinol salad can be a part of that. Green says the dish is a “nice idea for the antioxidant benefits,” but won’t treat acne or address any unwanted signs of aging.
Burnham accused of U-turn after initially backing political donations cap to fall below £500k
Exclusive: Campaigner says PM wrote in email he believed £500k cap should be reduced over time to guard against undue influences
Andy Burnham recently supported an even lower donations cap than previously reported, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian, as the row over next week’s elections bill escalates.
The prime minister wrote to a campaigner in May outlining his support for a £500,000 individual donations cap, which he said would “guard against the perception of any one party being unduly influenced or swayed by one person or organisation”.
