Photograph: Alamy Stock Photo Larry Elliott Tue 13 Jul 2021 19.01 EDT More than a million children from households in the frontline of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic are living in poverty, according to new research published by the TUC. The study found that one in five children of key workers in England, Scotland and Wales were living below the official breadline – rising to almost one in three in the worst-affected region, the north-east. The TUC said low pay and insecure hours – widespread in occupations such as social care, supermarkets and delivery drivers – were the main reasons for in-work poverty among key workers. Frances O’Grady, the TUC’s general secretary, said: “Every key worker deserves a decent standard of living for their family. But too often their hard work is not paying off like it should. And they struggle to keep up with the basic costs of family life. “The prime minister has promised to ‘build back fairer’. He should start with our key workers. They put themselves in harm’s way to keep the country going through the pandemic. Now, we must be there for them too. “This isn’t just about doing the right thing by key workers. If we put more money in the pockets of working families, their spending will help our businesses and high streets recover. It’s the fuel in the tank that our economy needs.” The report, prepared for the TUC by the consultancy Landman Economics and using the government definition of key workers, found that 29% of the children of key-worker households in the north-east were living in poverty, followed by London (27%), the West Midlands (25%) and Yorkshire and the Humber (25%). The lowest rates were in the east of England (15.5%) and the south-west (15.6%). Sign up to the daily Business Today email The TUC said that as well as pay and hours, high housing costs were reducing the amount of money key worker households could spend on groceries and utility bills. Support through universal credit, due to be cut by £20 a week in the autumn after a temporary pandemic uplift, was not enough to guarantee that families avoid poverty. Current government policies were likely to increase child poverty rates, because as well as cutting universal credit ministers had capped pay rises for key workers in the public sectors, leading in some cases to cuts in wages when adjusted for inflation. The TUC said these policies would put brakes on Britain’s recovery, because curbs on household spending would restrain business activity and have knock-on effects on wage growth for other workers.

Photograph: John Sibley/Getty Images Players take the knee before the Euro 2020 final. Photograph: John Sibley/Getty Images Jessica Elgot and Aubrey Allegretti Tue 13 Jul 2021 15.02 EDT Conservatives urgently need to change their attitudes towards people taking the knee, an influential Tory MP has said amid an angry backlash against the government over the racist abuse of England footballers. Steve Baker, the former minister and hard Brexit campaigner, broke cover on Tuesday to plead for his party to think again about dismissive attitudes towards the taking of the knee and calling for better understanding of the motives behind it. Labour has been granted an urgent question in parliament on Wednesday on racism on social media after the abuse faced by players following the Euro 2020 final, and Baker said: “This may be a decisive moment for our party.” “Much as we can’t be associated with calls to defund the police, we urgently need to challenge our own attitude to people taking a knee,” Baker wrote in a message to MPs on the Conservatives Against Racism, For Equality group. “I fear we are in danger of misrepresenting our own heart for those who suffer injustice.” Johnson and Patel accused of hypocrisy over racist abuse of England footballers Read more His intervention came after the England footballer Tyrone Mings accused the home secretary, Priti Patel, of “stoking the fire” at the beginning of the tournament when she described players taking the knee as “gesture politics” and refused to condemn booing by fans. A No 10 reception to honour the Euro 2020 campaign is understood to be unlikely to proceed, with no plans yet in place to celebrate the team. Johnson’s spokesperson said on Tuesday that discussions were ongoing with the Football Association about the best way to honour the team, but refused to say if there would be an imminent meeting between them and the prime minister. One source told the Guardian that Gareth Southgate’s squad had originally been due to be hosted by Boris Johnson at a reception in Downing Street on Monday – . But a No 10 spokesperson said the FA had not wanted an immediate event if the team lost. “The PM would have been delighted and honoured to host a reception for the England squad to mark their outstanding performance in the European championship,” the spokesperson said. “However, No 10 was informed prior to Sunday’s game that the FA’s preference was not for an immediate reception in the event England were to lose. We continue to discuss suitable ways for the PM to thank the squad and coaching staff for their heroic efforts throughout the tournament.” Albie Amankona, a co-founder of Conservatives Against Racism, For Equality, wrote to all Conservative MPs on Tuesday night urging more compassion, and his letter was forwarded to the group by Baker. “As a young man who is as proud of being a Conservative as he is of his African and English heritage, I have been disappointed at the way our side of the house has engaged with how our national football team decided to stand against racism by taking the knee,” Amankona wrote.

    Why Documentaries Matter Recognised As an Innovative Cultural Form

    RISJ CHALLENGES CHALLENGES Documentaries have for many decades inhabited the schedules of public Why Documentaries Matter Why broadcasters. They have chronicled the lives and institutions of western democracies. In the past two decades, however, documentaries have become Why Documentaries Matter recognised as an innovative cultural form. Instead of being exclusively funded by television channels, documentaries receive money from a number of sources, including film funds, private investors and foundations. Rather than observing, documentaries are now thought capable of changing the world. Is this what they really do? How do we define a documentary? What does it mean to be the ‘author’ of a film? Nick Fraser has been editor of the BBC’s Storyville series since 1997; here he looks at the history of documentaries, showing how definitions of documentaries have changed – and how fragile is their funding. If we want good documentaries, he concludes, we have to find ways of encouraging their creators. “Nick Fraser writes about documentaries with unique authority. Not only has he made some good ’uns, he has commissioned more than practically anyone else on earth (for the BBC’s Storyville) and - as this book shows - he Nick Fraser has watched docs from their earliest days. His ideas on what the growth of the web and the decline of public service broadcasters mean for doc-makers are informed, imaginative and challenging.” Brian Lapping Chairman and Executive Producer, Brook Lapping “The rise of documentaries over the past two decades owes more to Nick Fraser than to any other single person. For so many of us who make non-fiction films, Nick’s peerless brand of tough love and mischievous curiosity have inspired us to aim higher as we try to promote greater understanding of the major events and issues of our time.” Eugene Jarecki Documentary film maker “This expert lament is beautifully written.

Through the lens of Foucault’s governmentality, it is important to consider state- directed bioregulatory influences upon toilets and parks as PSS. Such bioregulation, with its aim of producing a ‘healthy’ sexual population, seeks to expose public sex as ‘dangerous’, encouraging a policing of PSS and the men who use them. Part of this bioregulation also enlists men using PSS as responsible for peer-surveillance to ensure anonymity and privacy in PSS. This auto-surveillance develops a ‘common code of conduct’ leading these men to develop their own modes of ‘normativity’ within these hetero-challenging spaces.

EDITORIAL DU PRÉSIDENT Daniel GUILLET Bonjour à tous, La vie de notre Association est étroitement liée aux actualités de la France et surtout d’Haïti. L’équilibre politique qui se dégrade de plus en plus arrive à un point ou cela bloque le pays. Les problème sanitaires et l’insécurité constante surtout dans les grandes villes perturbent sérieusement le quotidien des haïtiens. Pour Solidarité et Fraternité cela se traduit par un dysfonctionnement de notre groupe scolaire avec des absences d’enseignants ne pouvant venir au travail régulièrement et certains jours où l’école ferme ses portes. La problématique de la SOMMAIRE sécurité pénalise encore plus les procédures d’adoption, la France gèle les adoptions par décret renouvelé tous les trois mois. Les employés de l’Autorité Centrale Haïtienne ne peuvent pas venir travailler pour des raisons de sécurité et donc les dossiers ne sont pas traités, les grèves bloquent les démarches juridiques. Aucun avion ne dessert Haïti en provenance de la France.

    Where Responsibility Lies: Corporate Social Responsibility and Campaigns for the Rights of Workers in a Global Economy

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Where responsibility lies: Corporate social responsibility and campaigns for the rights of workers in a global economy Jill Timms A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, December 2012 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,770 words. 2 Abstract Sociological analysis of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is, as yet, limited. This thesis analyses how approaches to CSR are defined and mobilised in relation to the rights of workers in transnational contexts of production and exchange. Participation in emerging global discourses of CSR is becoming standard practice amongst transnational corporations, and the growth and professionalisation of CSR, even during global economic crisis, suggests there may be substantial incentives for those seeking to influence agendas. To misunderstand the significance of CSR is dangerous.

Transcript: The Political Impact of Documentaries Phil Harding: In recent years, whether it's been the films of Michael Moore or Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, films about McDonald's or films about Enron or about human rights abuses, we seem to have seen a growth in documentary films with a dramatic political impact. Increasingly, it seems, films are being made that not only show the world, but also set out to change it. It's that political role of documentaries that we're going to be examining this lunch time.
