Saha by Cho Nam-joo, review: A transfixing story of corruption and community

Cho’s latest novel, Saha, is just as political, though even knottier than the tangle of centuries-old misogyny. The Saha Estates lie on the outskirts of Town, a privatised city-nation supposedly governed by an anonymous group of co-ministers. But this book, translated into English by Jamie Chang, has a warmer feel than the clinical tone of Cho’s previous hit. And then there is Granny Konnim, the matriarch of the Saha Estates, who tends to the communal garden. It is because of greed, an obsession with power – and the human selfishness that drives the two – that the Saha Estates even exist.

China’s deadly Covid U-turn could bring more economic pain but might also help UK in war on inflation

In CCP speak, there have been few if any new Covid fatalities; the majority of Covid deaths occur in people already weakened by existing illnesses, but China officials won’t count these. Unprepared as it is, China had to ditch Zero Covid because it was suffocating the economy. David Dollar, a senior fellow at the China Center at the Brookings Institute thinks that November’s economic figures were the death knell for the endless Zero Covid. Another WeChat article, under the pen name “Banchizi,” urged the public to hold officials accountable for the Zero Covid policy, which it called “a silly farce”. Xi was forced to retreat from his flagship Zero Covid policy because the social and economic pain it caused became unbearable.

Why is the World Cup in November? Winter schedule for Qatar 2022 explained and how long it lasts

The 2022 World Cup will be played in winter for the first time in the competition’s history. The upcoming edition of the tournament will be the 22nd World Cup and Qatar becomes the first nation in the Middle East to serve as host. That has meant a shift to a winter schedule, which has not gone down well with many fans and which has had knock-on effects for other football competitions. The bidding process for the 2022 World Cup began in 2009, with potential host nations asked to submit their proposals in the February of that year. 2022 World Cup schedule Group stage: 20 November – 2 DecemberRound-of-16: 3-6 DecemberQuarter-finals: 9-10 DecemberSemi-finals: 13-14 DecemberThird-place play-off: 17 DecemberFinal: 18 DecemberWhat changes have been made to accommodate the temperature in Qatar?

Qatar 2022: England to play World Cup opener in front of empty seats as Fifa struggles to sell tickets

Estimates suggest that between 3,000 and 4,000 England supporters are expected to travel to Qatar during the group stages, although they have been thin on the ground around central Doha. Several England supporters, three wearing Newcastle United shirts, came to England’s training base on Friday morning in the hope of glimpsing the players, but were left disappointed. That included three of the home nations’ matches: England vs Iran, Wales vs USA and Wales vs Iran. The first is Fifa’s official sales portal, which lists seven games as having available tickets. On Friday evening, the ticketing centre displayed a sign advertising tickets for three games, including England vs Iran.

I watched a game with some of Qatar's migrant workers

Big ReadDOHA — Nteeba George is stood at the top of the stairs, leaning against the railing, watching France play against Denmark. The bridge leads to Al Jazeera Street, which is popular with migrant workers and offers diverse cuisines from Turkey to Bangladesh to Korea. At the hotel, Doha’s Millennium Plaza, illuminated by a vast lighting system that forms flags of all the competing countries, rooms cost what some migrant workers earn in a month or more. He and his colleagues are watching the game in-between parking cars. Ali, in his thick-rimmed black spectacles, watched the Tunisia v Denmark game here on the big screen.
