Global infections surpass 4m; cluster detected in Dordogne, new cases highlight risks as lockdowns eased

• Coronavirus – latest updates

New coronavirus infections rose again in Germany at the end of last week, a few days after leaders loosened social restrictions, while the Chinese city of Wuhan announced it had detected its first case in weeks, helping to push the global total past 4m on Sunday.

On the eve of the UK starting to ease its lockdown on Monday, the new cases in Germany and China illustrated the difficulties governments will face over the next months as they attempt to reopen their societies without triggering a second wave of infections.

As the former political editor and columnist retires, he considers his career at the paper and the greatest scoop he never wrote

Michael White, the Guardian’s assistant editor, retired last week after almost 45 years at the paper as a reporter, foreign correspondent and columnist. He was political editor from 1990-2006, Washington correspondent (1984-88) and parliamentary sketch writer (1977-84). Here he reflects on his Guardian career.

When did you first know you wanted to be a journalist?
I was never a student journalist but, after failing a few interviews for industry in my final student year, I decided – correctly – that I am by nature an observer, not a doer. I was lucky in my timing: 1966 was a very good time to embark on a career in journalism.

30 June 1972: The much-maligned Alice Cooper band is about to perform at the Empire Pool, Wembley. At the weekend their bandwagon rolled into Pittsburgh and Michael White flew over to hear them

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you a great American success story. If not from log cabin to White House, then at least from modest beginnings in Phoenix, Arizona, whence also sprang Jenny Jerome and Barry Goldwater, to Greenwich, Connecticut, home of some of the Republic’s super-rich. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the Alice Cooper rock band.

There’s no point in pretending it’s a conventional success story, not on the surface anyway. Media penetration in the United States reached what must have been a high point last week with an Alice Cooper item in the Wall Street Journal. Over here there’s a feeling among the cognoscenti that what Billboard has described as “the best theatrical rock ‘n’ roll show since the Stones” needs more than the one previous live airing it got at the Rainbow Theatre last year to make its full impact. Hence Alice’s concert at the Empire Pool, Wembley, this evening.

For more than 20 years Robin Callard, who has died of motor neurone disease aged 73, was professor of immunobiology at University College London, attached to the Institute of Child Health (ICH), clinical partner of Great Ormond Street hospital.

Born and raised in Hamilton, New Zealand, Robin was the eldest child of Eddie Callard, an entrepreneurial Australian photographer, and Vivienne (nee Wilson), who ran a fashion shop. A fourth generation Kiwi, Vivienne was also a descendant of Joseph Priestley, the eighteenth-century radical polymath and scientist widely credited with the discovery of oxygen.

Mother’s have been an important part of Hindi cinema. Over the years, the portrayal of mothers in Bollywood has been changing. Mothers are given much more importance in cinema than just being a character actor who has to nod to everything the husband or the child says. 

On the occasion of Mother’s Day, here’s looking at some of the most popular on-screen mothers. 

Rakhee 

Her dialogue “Mere Karan Arjun aayenge'' is not something that one will forget anytime soon. She played mother to actors Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan in the hit film Karan Arjun. While Rakhee has played varied roles in her illustrious career spanning over 50 years, when it came to being a mother onscreen she has been seen as a woman of principles including in films like Baazigar, Ram Lakhan, Soldier, Khalnayak and others. 

Farida Jalal 

Farida Jalal too has been part of the industry for almost fifty years and continues to impress people with her charm. While the actress has played different kinds of roles, her motherly onscreen figure is the one most remembered by people. From being Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in Duplicate to Kajol’s in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge, she is the kind of mother who is always ready to make sacrifices for her child. She is also popular for the savage yet emotional grandmother of Jiya from the television series Shararat. 

Kirron Kher

She is often cast as the loud Punjabi mother with a soft heart always caring and worrying about her child. From Dostana, to Hum Tum to Singh is King to Om Shanti Om she was the mother who could also make you laugh with her snarky comments. While she started her career in film in 1983, most of her hit films including Main Hoon Na and Rang De Basanti see her play the role of a mother. 

Reema Lagoo

Best remembered for her role in Tu Tu Main Main, she has largely been seen in Bollywood films playing the emotional mother. She has played mother to most superstars in the late 80s and 90s. She was considered as a "new-age mother" in Hindi cinema. She was low on drama and was not too emotional either, perfectly maintaining the balance between the two. From Hum Saath Saath Hai to Hum Aapke Hai Kaun to Kal Ho Naa Ho, she is the kind of mother you just want to give a hug and say everything will be okay. 

 Jaya Bachchan 

How can an onscreen mother’s list be complete without Jaya Bachchan. She raised the bar for on-screen mothers with her performance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The scene with Shah Rukh Khan’s entry in the film will be remembered for Jaya Bachchan’s sixth sense rather than the superstar’s entry. She then went on to ditch the saree and all the parampara and thali and was seen playing a bold single mother in Kal Ho Naa Ho. 

Ratna Pathak Shah

She will always be remembered dearly as Maya Sarabhai who could accept anything else but being middle class. When it comes to playing a mother in Bollywood, she has never been typecast and has shown variety in her characters. In Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na she was the protective and progressive mother to Imran Khan’s character who could not tolerate violence or any unjust activities. She once again played mother to Imran Khan in Ek Main Aur Ek Tu. She was a rich- sophisticated woman yet very different from her character Maya Sarabhai. Meanwhile, she played a middle-class mother to Taapsee Pannu in the film Thappad who worried more about “Log Kya Kahenge”.

Today, May 10, India celebrates Mother’s Day. The Internet is flooded with people sharing their fond memories with their mothers and thanking them for everything they do selflessly. Owing to the lockdown, many are unable to celebrate this day they usually do with several people staying away from their family. All this love is now being outpoured on social media. 

Bollywood celebrities are also taking to social media to share pictures, songs and poems for their dear mothers. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is debuting a song titled 'Ma', dedicated to all mothers. Sanjay Dutt has penned a poem for late mother Nargis Dutt, while Ananya Panday shared an old video where she is answering who is her most favourite person in the world and she says her mother. Sara Ali Khan shared an unseen picture of her as a newborn baby posing with her mother and grandmother. Other celebrities also wished their mothers in their own ways with heartfelt posts.

It is that day when we celebrate motherhood, mothers, their unmatched love and every small and big thing they do for us. Bollywood celebrities have been sharing heart-warming photos and posts on social media, to mark the day. For Shilpa Shetty, however, it is an extra special day since her surrogate daughter Samisha came home a few months back, and she gets to celebrate the day with her two children now!

During a recent interview, Shilpa reveald that she always wanted two kids since she knows how impactful having a sibling can be, and did not want son Viaan to grow up alone. However, she developed an auto-immune condition called APLA which caused her miscarriages every time she got pregnant.

Before she decided to opt for surrogacy, Shilpa revealed she had also considered adoption as an option and put her name with an organisation for the same. However, it got pushed due to internal disputes and after waiting for four years, her patience got over and she and husband Raj Kundra decided to have a surrogate baby.

On Instagram, we keep coming across photos of the happy family, and Viaan always looks excited to have been promoted to a big brother.

Happy Mother's Day to you, Shilpa!

The season of comebacks is here in the K-pop industry! Big Hit Entertainment's rookie group Tomorrow x Together is set for their second comeback this summer. The quartet will complete their trilogy with 'The Dream Chapter: Eternity'. 

The first teaser of their title track 'Can't You See Me' is here. More than one year after their debut, the boys are all grown up in this comeback. You hear them sing, "Can't you see me? / Like that magical day / Say believe me / Can't you see me?"

The five members are seen spending some good times together before everything falls apart. In the end, all of them stand outside a burning house as Soobin is seen screaming! It already looks like the MOAs are in for an emotional rollercoaster ride.

The concept trailer had similar emotions - a sense of losing your close friends over the course of time and lost feeling Soobin senses when he gets captured in the glass box.

The album is set to release on May 18, 2020. The group, which includes five members - Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai, debuted on March 4, 2019, with the EP 'The Dream Chapter: Star' with lead single 'Crown'. This was followed by 'The Dream Chapter: Magic' with '9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)' as its lead single.

Not just that, they also made their Japanese debut on January 15, 2020, with the single 'Magic Hour'.

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> With the film already running in theatres and each of the songs been out one after another, you are pretty much aware about what the music of <em>Total Dhamaal</em> has to offer. Gourov-Roshin are the composers for this soundtrack that is quite snazzy with just four songs in there. <img class="aligncenter wp-image-956955 size-full" title="Music Review Total Dhamaal" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Music-Review-Total-Dhamaal.jpg" alt="Music Review Total Dhamaal" width="720" height="405" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> It is a retro beginning for <em>Total Dhamaal</em> as Laxmikant-Pyaarelal, Anand Bakshi and Kishore Kumar's <strong><em>'Paisa Yeh Paisa'</em></strong> is recreated by Gourov-Roshin and lyricist Kunwar Juneja. The good part about this recreation is that the core essence of the song has been kept intact right from the 'mukhda' to the 'antara'. While Dev Negi and Subhro Ganguly do well to keep the playful element on, it is Arpita Chakraborty's vocals in the 'antara' portions that really elevate the song further. A good number to hear and enjoy all over again. The next track to follow is a recreation too with Gourov-Roshin and Kunwar Juneja putting together Rajesh Roshan and Usha Mangeshkar's <strong><em>'Mungda'</em></strong>. With Gourov Dasgupta bringing on rap into the song which has been picturised on Sonakshi Sinha, this one actually turns out to be a fast paced entertaining hear that works well even four decades after the original from <em>Inkaar</em> was heard first. Though the song has been slammed by a few, it actually turns out to be a good effort by Jyotica Tangri who is supported well by Shaan and Subhro Ganguly. The song which actually turns out to be the best of the lot is the original number <strong><em>'Speaker Phat Jaaye'</em></strong> that has been written by Kumaar. It is surprising that this one was not the first to be promoted as it actually has a good rhythm to it which places it well as a party anthem. Harrdy Sandhu takes the lead in this club track while being supported by Abuzar Akhtar. As for Aditi Singh Sharma and Jonita Gandhi, they chip in well too hence ensuring that there is no dull moment in there. Play this on in loop and you would be hooked for sure. Last to arrive is the <strong><em>'Theme song'</em></strong>, the sound of which has been heard in the promo of the film. Yet again, it would have actually helped had a music video been created around it and promoted as this one too is fast paced that goes with the film's theme. This one too has a lot of energy to it which is in line with the spirit of the film. Dev Negi takes centre-stage for this song which arrives briefly in the film's narrative and does make its presence felt. <strong>OVERALL</strong> The music of <em>Total Dhamaal</em> fits in quite well with the mood and spirit of the film. Moreover, with audiences appreciating the film, there is further recall on the cards for the music that would only make it further popular. This one is a mood booster. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Speaker Phat Jaaye’</em>, <em>‘Paisa Yeh Paisa’</em>, <em>‘Mungda’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> Since <em>Romeo Akbar Walter</em> is basically a spy thriller, music is expected to be primarily an added accessory and not necessary an integral part of the film's narrative. Hence, even though there are five tracks in the John Abraham starrer, one expects a situational score at best. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-969148" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Romeo-Akbar-Walter-3-1.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is a patriotic number <strong><em>'Vande Mataram'</em></strong> which has Shabbir Ahmed composing and writing it. This one has an old fashioned feel to it and goes all the way into the 60s style. Sonu Nigam leads the show as a singer with Ekta Kapoor (not to be confused with the namesake film and TV producer) in this song that is just about okay and doesn't cover the distance. The one that turns out to be quite good though is <strong><em>'Bulleya'</em></strong>. In fact it is surprising that the song wasn't really pumped all over since it had the potential to emerge as one of the major chartbusters of this year. Rendered by Rabbi Shergill (of <em>'Bulla Ki Jaana Mein Kaun'</em> fame), it has Shahid Mallya as his singing partner. A well written number by Ashok Punjabi, it has a very catchy tune by Sohail Sen that belongs to Sufi genre but has been presented in a Bollywood avtar, hence turning out to be an all-around effort. Next to arrive is a romantic number <strong><em>'Jee Len De'</em></strong> which is put to tune by Raaj Aashoo and is written by Murali Agarwal &amp; Shabbir Ahmed. This one has the kind of tune which reminds one of many Emraan Hashmi numbers that were composed a decade back. As a matter of fact the beginning of the song reminds one of Mohd. Rafi's <em>'Teri Pyaari Pyaari Surat Ko'</em> that was picturised on Rajendra Kumar in <em>Sasural</em> [1961]. However, the similarity just stops at the opening line as rest of this Mohit Chauhan rendered track maintains its own identity. <strong><em>'Allah Hoo Allah'</em></strong> comes next and just like <em>'Bulleya'</em>, even this one had the potential to cover some sort of distance. Composed and written by Shabbir Ahmed, this one is crooned by Sameer Khan and is a good qawalli in the offering. In fact it also appears at a good juncture of the film's narrative and is actually one of the few songs in there that really fits in well. Last to arrive is <strong><em>'Maa'</em></strong> which is written by debutant Prince Dubey. An ordinary piece by composer and singer Ankit Tiwari, it has a slow start and stays that way right through its three minute odd duration. An ode to the mother, it is about the protagonist remembering her in the times of pain and sorrow. Though this is a situational number, it actually brings down the film's pace. <strong>OVERALL</strong> With the current trend of number of soundtracks releasing just a day or two before the film's release, it takes time for the music to grow. However, one can expect <em>'Bulleya'</em> and <em>'Jee Len De'</em> to find an audience in the long run. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘Bulleya’</em>, <em>‘Jee Len De’</em>

<strong>EXPECTATIONS</strong> There are huge expectations from the music of <em>Kalank</em>. After it, it sees Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala join hands who bring on board composer Pritam along with lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya. Moreover, with a stellar cast at its disposal and Varun Dhawan along with Alia Bhatt leading the show, you do expect fireworks. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-971649" src="https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Kalank-4-2.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="450" /> <strong>MUSIC</strong> First to arrive is <strong><em>'Ghar More Pardesiya'</em></strong> which is set during the Dusshehra sequence in the film. The song helps take the narrative forward for the film as Alia Bhatt meets Madhuri Dixit and then Varun Dhawan for the first time. The well written number has a good metaphorical reference too and Pritam brings a new dimension of his to the fore by putting together this semi-classical track that is very well rendered by Shreya Ghoshal. Later in the soundtrack, a 'radio edit' version appears which has Vaishali Mhade joining Shreya. This one adds to the recall value. Next to arrive is <strong><em>'First Class'</em></strong> and this is also the best song of the soundtrack, what with a peppy tune, catchy lyrics and some 'masti se bharpoor' singing by Arijit Singh and Neeti Mohan. In fact one wonders why this wasn't the first song to be promoted and placed right at the top of the soundtrack. With a start that reminds one of Pritam's own <em>'Afghan Jalebi'</em> [<em>Phantom</em>] and the flow that is on the same lines as <em>'Saree Ke Fall Sa'</em> [<em>R... Rajkumar</em>], <em>'First Class'</em> is a chartbuster with cool rhythm accompanied by the dance moves that have become quite popular. Arijit Singh gets into an altogether different 'avtar' with the title song <strong><em>'Kalank'</em></strong>. This one only adds further class to this album that keeps the fire igniting with every passing number. A heartfelt number with sadness all over it, <em>'Kalank'</em> has brilliant lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya that stay with you long after it has been heard first. Moreover, Arijit's rendition is truly the kind that is for a heart which is in pain and that's something which turns out to be the hallmark of the song. There is a duet version too with Shilpa Rao but it's the solo version that stays. Shreya Ghoshal is back as the voice of Madhuri Dixit and she sings <strong><em>'Tabaah Ho Gaye'</em></strong> in a manner that only she can. In fact Pritam too composes this one in a style that is reminiscent of the kind of music that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has in his own films. Musically, this one is on the same lines as <em>'Maar Daala'</em> [<em>Devdas</em>] though this one does manage to bring in its own individuality as well, hence lending a good impression. There is certain sadness and pain in Shreya's voice which compliments the situation that Madhuri Dixit finds herself in the film, and that works. <strong><em>'Aira Gaira'</em></strong> comes next a couple of times and this is the much talked about song-n-dance appearance of Kriti Sanon. Sung by Antara Mitra, this one actually reminds one of the kind of songs that Rekha Bhardwaj has sung in quite a few films. A high on energy number, this one actually reaches its crescendo when Javed Ali and Tushar Joshi pair up to provide vocals for Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur in the film. In a style that has its base in the 40s and the 50s, this one needed more time for promotion in order to reach out to the audiences much quicker. The album concludes with Jonita Gandhi going solo for <strong><em>'Rajvaadi Odhni'</em></strong>. This one too has its base in Sanjay Leela Bhansali style of music and again it is surprising that the song wasn't promoted much in advance. A song which actually kick-starts the film and introduces Alia Bhatt to the audience, this one is picturised as well as placed well in the film. A catchy number that has the feet tapping. <strong>OVERALL</strong> Pritam comes up with a very good soundtrack for <em>Kalank</em> and is helped a great deal by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya. Moreover, there is a consistency of sound right through half a dozen odd songs that feature in the soundtrack. Even though the film is set in the 40s and the music compliments that era as well, even today's audience can well be entertained. <strong>OUR PICK(S)</strong> <em>‘First Class’</em>, <em>‘Kalank’</em>, <em>‘Tabaah Ho Gaye’</em>, <em>‘Rajvaadi Odhni’</em>
