The Observer view on the Brett Kavanaugh Senate hearing | Observer editorial

The clash between the supreme court nominee and his accuser exposed the ugly truth about power and the law in the US The US supreme court is best known, in the modern era, for its landmark 1973 ruling in the case of Roe v Wade , which upheld a woman’s legal right to an abortion. That may have changed last week. The case of Ford v Kavanaugh , fought out before the judiciary committee of the US Senate, in front of a riveted national audience, provided both a dramatic spectacle worthy of Hollywood and a startling insight into the travails and traumas of contemporary American life. It is not over yet. And neither will it soon be forgotten. The Observer is the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, founded in 1791. It is published by Guardian News & Media and is editorially independent.

Ms Du, door sensors and me: life with a Beijing Covid-19 quarantine handler

China’s coronavirus measures are often seen as tough and effective - but how well do they really work? Coronavirus – latest updates See all our coronavirus coverage Every day for the last two weeks I have spoken with Ms Du, a mild-mannered, middle-aged woman who is my quarantine handler. She calls me in the morning to remind me to send her my temperature. She calls again if I forget to send the afternoon reading. She texts rose emojis, reminding me to “please cooperate” with the rules. If I open my door, equipped with a sensor, to put the rubbish in the hall or pick up a delivery, she immediately calls and reminds me to let her know beforehand.

The Killers at Glastonbury 2019 review – anthemic headliners triumph

Pyramid stage Brandon Flowers and co – with a little help from the Pet Shop Boys, Johnny Marr and the pyrotechnics department – provide one of those special Glastonbury Moments Catch up on Saturday highlights on our liveblog A band that obviously have nothing in common musically with Stormzy, the Killers nevertheless share a problem: before they play, a shadow hangs over their headline performance.
