Yuja review – portrait of star pianist who is intellectually curious and deeply musically attuned

Musician is also rattled to find her appearance gets far more attention than her playing in this reflective documentary from Lorna Tucker

As well as her film about her own difficult teenage years, British director Lorna Tucker is probably best known for her documentaries on famous women with big personalities: Vivienne Westwood (Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist), Katharine Hepburn (Call Me Kate) and Greta Garbo (Garbo: Where Did You Go?). Her latest subject, pianist Yuja Wang, is another high-achiever – but not someone with quite the same name recognition unless you’re a devotee of classical music, a field in which she is ranked among the very best alive. Wang certainly has a flamboyant side, expressed in her highly expressive, virtuoso performances and her sartorial style on stage. In fact some shocking pull quotes illustrate how her dress sense has been bizarrely over-examined in the press; she has been likened to a stripper for her outfits, and the New Yorker, of all publications, once described her as “fat”, which hardly seems germane to any discussion of her ability to play Tchaikovsky or Ligeti.

But Wang’s biography and the texture of her daily life are very different from that of Tucker’s previous subjects. She was a child prodigy from an artistic Beijing family who came of age just in time to break records for views on YouTube. Sure, her life here looks glamorous in one way, with a lush New York apartment she barely ever sees because she’s constantly on the road. But her life is also one of perpetual practice and striving for perfection, the loneliness of the long-distance soloist. It’s a regimen that leaves almost no time for relationships or family, or even many friendships with peers who understand what she is going through – apart from a few mentors or collaborators such as fellow pianist Emanuel Ax or composer Teddy Abrams, with whom she recently won a Grammy. Still, she comes across as an effervescent character, intellectually curious and deeply attuned to the music she plays.

Torrential rain causes widespread damage; while north-west South Africa hit by thunderstorms and central-southern US faces oppressive heat

Typhoon Saudel brought days of torrential rain to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces in south-east China last week.

The US now has access to more than half Australia’s military bases – could it drag the country unwillingly into war?

Exclusive: US-controlled weapons corporations and forces have control or access to more than 100 facilities across the continent, which some analysts describe as a ‘colonisation’ of Australia’s military. Find a map of them here

US military interests control or have access to more than 100 defence facilities on Australian soil, in what some analysts describe as a “saturation” – even a “colonisation” – of the Australian continent.

New data compiled by the Nautilus Institute and published by Guardian Australia maps the extent of US militarisation. The US military controls 17 facilities on mainland Australia and has access to 75 more Australian-run military installations. US defence corporations have access to an additional 18.

It’s no surprise some analysts say we are already in the midst of the third world war, but ordinary people have more power than we think

Don’t look up! The world is a mess. The sky could fall in any day. Unending wars, expanding humanitarian crises, rising authoritarianism, dysfunctional democracies, rampant racial and religious extremism, and unchecked lawlessness cast a dark cloud as the west’s new political year begins. Set all that against a backdrop of staggering global economic inequality, corporate and individual greed, irresponsible government indebtedness, dangerous AI gambles, climate breakdown and proliferating nuclear weapons, and a truly apocalyptic global outlook begins to take shape. It’s enough to make anyone shut their eyes, cover their ears and utter a Munch-like scream. And it’s only getting worse.

Democratic leaders who promise a better, safer, more optimistic future – what Britain’s freshly arrived prime minister, Andy Burnham, calls a “new era of possibility” – cannot escape this wider international context. Last week’s global bond market upheaval, sparked by external factors, left Burnham’s cash-strapped government struggling with sharply increased borrowing costs before he barely got started. The fact he chose Ukraine for his first overseas trip, while symbolically important, highlighted another grim reality. As a lead opponent of Vladimir Putin’s invasion, Britain now finds itself in a de facto state of war with Russia – and facing attack. Argentina, too, is eyeing UK defence vulnerabilities. These are not the sort of possibilities Burnham envisaged.

China’s demise was gleefully predicted by the west – meanwhile, it built an AI revolution | Larry Elliott

Free AI models that are as good as the investment-hungry US versions will disrupt global markets, and offer Britain a lesson

Almost from the moment it began, the end of the Chinese economic miracle has been much anticipated. Thick and fast, the books have come explaining how it will end badly. Overinvestment. A country wallowing in debt. The collapse of the property market. Political repression. The demand for democracy from a growing middle class. All have been put forward as reasons for the inevitable terminal crisis.

Even those impressed by the country’s rapid growth took comfort from the notion that the west would continue to dominate advanced manufacturing while China would be stuck assembling TVs. And while the wait for its much-predicted demise has gone on and on, China has become the workshop of the world.
