rains have caused catastrophic flooding in southern Brazil killing at least 100 people and leaving thousands more homeless. \n\nThe southern state of Rio Grande do Sul was hit by heavy rain last week and subsequent flooding has washed away roads, collapsed bridges and caused landslides across the state. \n\nThe latest estimates from the state civil defence authority say that 372 people have been injured and as many as 128 are still unaccounted for. More than 1.45 million people across 417 of the state\u2019s 497 cities have been affected and the latest estimates suggest more than 200,000 people have been displaced. \n\nRio Grande do Sul has been virtually cut off from the rest of Brazil with roads flooded. The state\u2019s main airport has been inundated by water and could be out of use for at least 30 days. \n\nOfficials have said it is the \u201cworst natural calamity\u201d to hit the state. \n\nIn Porto Alegre, the capital city of Rio Grande do Sul, several water plants have stopped functioning leaving an estimated 80 per cent of the population without access to drinking water. Supplies are being rationed and officials are distributing drinking water to hospitals and shelters in tankers. \n\nMany have also been left without electricity after power companies cut off supplies due to security reasons. \n\nThousands displaced by flooding across Rio Grande do Sul\n\nWith thousands of people displaced, homes and businesses destroyed and widespread destruction, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva promised the government would do \u201ceverything in [its] power\u201d to contribute to the recovery of Rio Grande do Sul. \n\nBut rescue efforts have been hampered by looting and the flood waters that still linger in the city. In Porto Alegre, police have been providing volunteers with security patrols using boats and even jet skis. \n\nThousands are still waiting to be evacuated and officials have called for anyone who owns \u201cany kind of boat\u201d to offer it to emergency teams. Around 15,000 soldiers, firefighters, police and volunteers are working to rescue people and transport aid. \n\nBrazilian Paralympic fencer Vanderson Chaves is one of those impacted by the disaster. He told the Associated Press that he has faced many challenges in his career but none as fearsome as these floods. \n\n\u201cThere's no way this wouldn't affect me. To compete and to train well, you need to be well psychologically. And I'm not,\u201d he said. The waters washed away his equipment, dozens of medals, his passport and may even have thwarted his chances of reaching the Paris Games in September. He has also been displaced by the flooding. \n\n\u201cI come from an impoverished area of Porto Alegre. Everything for me is more difficult to achieve. I am Black, I am disabled. And now this.\u201d\n\nResidents are also reportedly facing shortages of essential supplies including drinking water. In many places, access for supply trucks or employees is completely cut off. \n\nAuthorities warn more rain is on the way\n\nDownpours started on 29 April with more than 300 millimetres of rain falling in less than a week, according to Brazil\u2019s National Institute of Meteorology (INMET). Flooding started in the north of the state and then subsequently inundated more southerly cities including Porto Alegre. \n\nIt is the fourth environmental disaster Rio Grande do Sul has seen in a year after flooding hit in July, September and November of 2023. \n\nStill reeling from massive flooding, the state now faces the possibility of further storms. Brazil\u2019s national centre for natural disasters has warned the region is at \u201chigh risk\u201d of more flooding. Weather forecaster MetSul said Rio Grande do Sul could face \u201cvery large\u201d floods of \u201cserious proportions\u201d. \n\nOn Wednesday, Porto Alegre officials warned civilian rescuers to halt their operations because of forecasts for rain, lightning and strong winds. INMET has also forecast a cold front this weekend with additional rains which will be particularly intense in the north and east of the state. \n\nArmy General Marcelo Zucco, one of the coordinators of rescue operations, told AP that his team were working at full speed before heavy rains that are forecast to hit the Porto Alegre area this weekend. Some improvement in conditions had helped his tea finally access some areas by land on Wednesday but more rain started to fall on the city that afternoon. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Heavy rains have caused catastrophic flooding in southern Brazil killing at least 100 people and leaving thousands more homeless. <\/p>\n<p>The southern state of Rio Grande do Sul was hit by heavy rain last week and subsequent flooding has washed away roads, collapsed bridges and caused landslides across the state. <\/p>\n<p>The latest estimates from the state civil defence authority say that 372 people have been injured and as many as 128 are still unaccounted for.

man, who was attempting to gain access to the property around 2pm, Wednesday, was detained under the Mental Health Act, according to reports. \n\nThe arrest comes just one day after a shooting carried out at the rapper\u2019s property left a security guard \u201cseriously injured\u201d. \n\nThe drive-by incident happened around 2am, Tuesday, in the affluent Bridle Path neighbourhood of Toronto. \n\nThe unidentified assailant - who remains at large - was reportedly seen leaving the area in a vehicle. \n\nWitnesses told Canadian media that the security guard had sustained several gunshot wounds, including one to the chest. \n\nCanadian police have not confirmed whether Drake, whose legal name is Aubrey Graham, was at home at the time of the shooting, but said after the incident that his team was cooperating. \n\nThis week\u2019s developments have played out against the backdrop of Drake\u2019s ongoing rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, with each artist dropping diss tracks attacking the other. \n\nLamar's latest track, \"Not Like Us,\" a satellite image of Drake's 50,000 square foot mega-mansion is featured. This is the same property which was cordoned off with police tape following Tuesday's shooting, and to which yesterday\u2019s detained intruder was attempting to gain access. \n\nIn the song, Lamar alleges that Drake has been involved with underage women, with the accompanying image suggesting he is harbouring multiple sex offenders under his roof. The Toronto rapper strongly denied these claims in a follow-up track titled \"The Heart Part 6.\" \n\nThe ongoing beef has started drawing criticism from within the hip hop community, with Roots drummer Questlove releasing an Instagram post criticising the rappers\u2019 \u201cmudslinging and takedown by any means necessary\u201d. He also warned: \u201cSame audience wanting blood will soon put up \u201crip\u201d posts like they weren\u2019t part of the problem.\u201d \n\nFollowing Tuesday\u2019s shooting, Toronto Police Inspector Paul Krawczyk was asked whether the feud was a factor in the shooting. He said that while investigators were aware of the context, it was too early to discuss motive. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The man, who was attempting to gain access to the property around 2pm, Wednesday, was detained under the Mental Health Act, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest comes just one day after a shooting carried out at the rapper\u2019s property left a security guard \u201cseriously injured\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The drive-by incident happened around 2am, Tuesday, in the affluent Bridle Path neighbourhood of Toronto.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"8414460\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//05//03//drake-adele-and-more-return-to-tiktok-as-universal-strikes-licensing-deal/">Drake, Adele and more return to TikTok as Universal strikes licensing deal <\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The unidentified assailant -

Here is a timeline of what led up to this week's announcement after an implosion at FTX kicked off what many had expected to become a \"crypto winter\". \n\n2022 \n\nNovember 2: Coindesk reports Alameda Reseach, Sam Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency trading firm, holds a large amount of FTT, a token issued by FTX, suggesting the finances of the two are intertwined and Alameda faces a cash crunch. The report spooks participants in the crypto market. \n\nNovember 6: Rival cryptocurrency exchange Binance announces that the firm plans to sell all its holdings in FTT. The price of FTT tanks. \n\nNovember 8: Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao said his company had signed a letter of intent to buy FTX because the smaller exchange was experiencing a \"significant liquidity crunch\". That deal would be contingent, however, on a look at the books at FTX. \n\nThe price for Bitcoin tumbles 13 per cent. \n\nNovember 9: Cryptocurrency prices plunge and after getting a closer look at the finances of FTX, Binance retreated and said there would be no acquisition. \"In the beginning, our hope was to be able to support FTX\u2019s customers to provide liquidity, but the issues are beyond our control or ability to help,\" Binance said in a statement. \n\nBitcoin prices drop another 14 per cent. \n\nNovember 10: Crypto lender BlockFi announced it is \"not able to do business as usual\" and was pausing client withdrawals as a result of FTX\u2019s implosion. \n\nNovember 11: FTX files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and Bankman-Fried resigns. John Ray III, a long-time bankruptcy litigator who is best known for having to clean up the mess made after the collapse of Enron, is named the new CEO. \n\nIn its bankruptcy filing, FTX listed more than 130 affiliated companies around the globe. The company valued its assets between $10 billion (\u20ac9.3 billion) to $50 billion (\u20ac46.5 billion), with a similar estimate for its liabilities. Bitcoin falls 10 per cent. \n\nNovember 17: Ray gives a damning description of FTX\u2019s operations under Bankman-Fried, from a lack of security controls to business funds being used to buy employees homes and luxuries. \n\nNovember 30: As part of a media blitz, Bankman-Fried tells New York Time\u2019s Andrew Ross-Sorkin, \"Look, I screwed up,\" and didn't knowingly misuse clients' funds. \n\nDecember 12: Bankman-Fried is arrested in the Bahamas, where FTX is headquartered. \n\nDecember 13: The US government charges Bankman-Fried with a host of financial crimes, alleging he intentionally deceived customers and investors to enrich himself and others, while playing a central role in the company\u2019s multibillion-dollar collapse. \n\nFederal prosecutors said Bankman-Fried devised \"a scheme and artifice to defraud\" FTX\u2019s customers and investors beginning the year it was founded. \n\nHe illegally diverted their money to cover expenses, debts and risky trades at Alameda Research, and to make lavish real estate purchases and large political donations, prosecutors said in a 13-page indictment. \n\nDecember 22: Bankman-Fried's parents agreed to sign a $250 million (\u20ac232.7 million) bond and keep him at their California home while he awaits trial. \n\n2023 \n\nAugust 11: Judge revoked Bankman-Fried's bail and sent him to jail after concluding he had repeatedly tried to influence witnesses against him. \n\nOctober 3: Jury selection began for the trial. \n\nOctober 27: Bankman-Fried took the stand in his trial. He again acknowledged failures but denied defrauding anyone. \n\nNovember 3: Bankman-Fried is convicted of fraud for stealing at least $10 billion from customers and investors. \n\n2024 \n\nMarch 28: Bankman-Fried is sentenced to 25 years in prison. Bitcoin has roared back from a massive sell-off during the scandal. Prices are up nearly 70 per cent. \n\nApril 30: Binance's Zhao is sentenced to four months in prison for looking the other way as criminals used the platform to move money connected to child sex abuse, drug trafficking, and terrorism. \n\nMay 8: FTX says that nearly all of its customers will receive the money back that they are owed, two years after the cryptocurrency exchange imploded, and some will get more than that. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Once one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world before its monumental collapse two years ago, FTX said this week that nearly all of its customers will receive the money back that they are owed.<\/p>\n<p>FTX said in a court filing in the United States late on Tuesday that it owes about $11.2 billion (\u20ac10.4 billion) to its creditors.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange estimates that it has between $14.5 billion (\u20ac13.5 billion) and $16.3 billion (\u20ac15.1 billion) to distribute to them.<\/p>\n<p>How did we get to this point?

studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other for the first time. They hope the research could one day help better protect them.\n\nLike many whales and dolphins, sperm whales are highly social mammals and communicate by squeezing air through their respiratory systems to make strings of rapid clicks that can sound like an extremely loud zipper underwater. The clicks are also used as a form of echolocation to help them track their prey.\n\nScientists have been trying for decades to understand what those clicks might mean, with only minimal progress. While they still don't know, they now think there are sets of clicks they believe make up a \u201cphonetic alphabet\u201d that the whales can use to build the very rough equivalent of what people think of as words and phrases.\n\n\u201cWe're now starting to find the first building blocks of whale language,\" said David Gruber, founder and president of the Cetacean Translation Initiative or CETI, an effort devoted to translating the communication of sperm whales.\n\nHow did scientists decode sperm whale sounds?\n\nIn a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, researchers analysed more than 8,700 snippets of sperm whale clicks, known as codas. They say they have found four basic components they think make up this phonetic alphabet.\n\nPratyusha Sharma, the paper's lead researcher, said this alphabet could then be used by the whales in an unlimited number of combinations.\n\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t appear that they have a fixed set of codas,\u201d said Sharma, an artificial intelligence and computer science expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \n\n\u201cThat gives the whales access to a much larger communication system,\u201d she said, explaining it was as if the whales had a very large dictionary.\n\nTo get enough examples of the sperm whale clicks in Dominica, where there is a resident population of about 200 whales, scientists created a giant underwater recording studio with microphones at different depths. \n\nTags on the whales also record what position they are in when clicking - for example diving, sleeping, breathing at the surface - and if there are any other whales nearby they might be communicating with.\n\nSperm whales have the biggest brains of any animal on the planet at up to 9 kilograms, as much as six times the size of an average human brain. They live in matriarchal groups of about 10 and sometimes meet up with hundreds or thousands of other whales. \n\nThese marine mammals can grow up to 18 meters long and dive to nearly 1,000 meters to hunt for squid. They sleep vertically, in groups.\n\nGruber, a biology professor at the City University of New York, said sperm whales seem to have sophisticated social ties and deciphering their communication systems could reveal parallels with human language and society.\n\nCould understanding sperm whales help with conservation?\n\nJeremy Goldbogen, an associate professor of oceans at Stanford University, called the new research \u201cextraordinary,\u201d saying it had \u201cvast implications for how we understand ocean giants.\u201d\n\nGoldbogen, who was not involved in the study, said that if we were one day able to understand what sperm whales were saying, that knowledge should be used for conservation purposes, like minimising their risk of being hit by ships or reducing ocean noise levels.\n\nSperm whales are classified as 'vulnerable' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The whales were hunted for centuries for the oil contained in their giant heads and the species is still recovering.\n\nDiana Reiss, a marine mammal behaviour and communication expert at the City University of New York, said that scientists understand certain aspects of marine animals' communication reasonably well, including the whistles used by dolphins and the songs sung by humpback whales.\n\nBut when it comes to sperm whales, even that basic knowledge is lacking.\n\n\u201cWhat's new in this study is that they are trying to look at the basis for the whales' communication system...not just particular calls they're making,\u201d she said.\n\nReiss, who was not involved in the new research, said she hoped we would one day be able to match the whales\u2019 clicks to behaviour.\n\n\u201cWe will never understand what the clicks mean to another whale, but we may be able to understand what the clicks mean enough to predict their behaviour,\u201d she said. \u201cThat alone would be an amazing achievement.\u201d\n\nCETI founder Gruber said millions and possibly billions of whale codas would be needed to collect enough data to try to work out what the whales are saying, but he expects AI to help speed the analysis. \n\nOther sperm whale populations - the whales are found in deep oceans from the Arctic to the Antarctic - likely communicate in slightly different ways, he added.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Scientists studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other for the first time.

media platform TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the United States over a law that would force the company to sell the popular video-sharing app or face a ban. \n\nThe lawsuit filed on Tuesday may be setting up what could be a protracted legal fight over TikTok's future in the US. \n\nThe popular social video company alleged the law, which president Joe Biden signed as part of a larger $95 billion foreign aid package, is so \"obviously unconstitutional\" that the sponsors of The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act are trying to portray the law not as a ban, but as a regulation of TikTok's ownership. \n\n\"Congress has taken the unprecedented step of expressly singling out and banning TikTok: a vibrant online forum for protected speech and expression used by 170 million Americans to create, share, and view videos over the Internet,\" ByteDance said in its suit. \n\n\"For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than one billion people worldwide\". \n\nThe law requires TikTok\u2019s parent, ByteDance, to sell the platform within nine months. If a sale is already in progress, the company will get another three months to complete the deal. ByteDance has said it \"doesn\u2019t have any plan to sell TikTok\". \n\nBut even it wanted to divest, the company would have to get a blessing from Beijing, which previously opposed a forced sale of the platform and has signaled its opposition this time around. \n\nTikTok 'forced' to shutdown \n\nTikTok and ByteDance argued in the lawsuit that it really isn't being given a choice. \n\n\"The 'qualified divestiture' demanded by the Act to allow TikTok to continue operating in the United States is simply not possible: not commercially, not technologically, not legally,\u201d they said. \n\nUnder the act, TikTok will be forced to shut down by January 19, 2025, according to the lawsuit. \n\nThe parties argued that they should be protected by the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of expression. \n\nThey are seeking a declaratory judgment that the Act violates the US Constitution; an order enjoining Attorney General Merrick Garland from enforcing the Act and any further relief that the court may deem appropriate. \n\nThe fight over TikTok takes place as US-China relations have shifted to that of intense strategic rivalry, especially in areas such as advanced technologies and data security, seen as essential to each country\u2019s economic prowess and national security. \n\nUS lawmakers from both parties, as well as government and law enforcement officials, have expressed concerns that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over US user data or sway public opinion by manipulating the algorithm that populates users' feeds. \n\nViolation of US free speech rights \n\nSome have also pointed to a Rutgers University study that maintains TikTok content was being amplified or underrepresented based on how it aligns with the interests of the Chinese government, which the company disputes. \n\nOpponents of the law argue that Chinese authorities - or any nefarious parties - could easily get information on Americans in other ways, including through commercial data brokers that rent or sell personal information. \n\nThey note the US government hasn't provided public evidence that shows TikTok sharing US user information with Chinese authorities, or tinkering with its algorithm for China's benefit. \n\nThey also say attempts to ban the app could violate free speech rights in the US. \n\nJameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, expects TikTok's challenge to the ban to succeed. \n\n\"The First Amendment means the government can\u2019t restrict Americans\u2019 access to ideas, information, or media from abroad without a very good reason for it - and no such reason exists here,\" Jaffer said in a printed statement. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Social media platform TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the United States over a law that would force the company to sell the popular video-sharing app or face a ban.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit filed on Tuesday may be setting up what could be a protracted legal fight over TikTok&#039;s future in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The popular social video company alleged the law, which <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2024//04//24//us-senate-passes-legislation-to-force-sale-of-tiktok-under-threat-of-ban/">president Joe Biden signed<\/strong><\/a> as part of a larger $95 billion foreign aid package, is so \"obviously unconstitutional\" that the sponsors of The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act are trying to portray the law not as a ban, but as a regulation of TikTok&#039;s ownership.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7437744\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2024//03//14//which-countries-have-banned-tiktok-cybersecurity-data-privacy-espionage-fears/">Which countries have banned TikTok and why?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\"Congress has taken the unprecedented step of expressly singling out and banning TikTok: a vibrant online forum for protected speech and expression used by 170 million Americans to create, share, and view videos over the Internet,\" ByteDance said in its suit.<\/p>\n<p>\"For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than one billion people worldwide\".<\/p>\n<p>The law requires TikTok\u2019s parent, ByteDance, to sell the platform within nine months.

So it\u2019s not surprising that the government is also heavily invested in CCS technology, and has announced ambitious targets for it. \n\nAlberta\u2019s 2008 climate plan called for 30 million tonnes of carbon capture by 2020 and 75 million tonnes by 2030. \n\nBut the Quest CCS project - owned by Canadian Natural Resources, Chevron and Shell Canada - only managed to avoid less than 1 million tonnes of emissions in 2022, according to Greenpeace. \n\nMeanwhile, greenhouse gas emissions from the oil sands have increased by 50 million tonnes since Shell started design work on the project in 2005 and by 16 million tonnes since its first full year of operation in 2016. \n\nAlberta\u2019s environment ministry told the UK\u2019s FT newspaper that the crediting support scheme had not resulted in \u201cadditional emissions\u201d by industrial polluters. \n\nThe report also finds that when the value of phantom credits is added to the $777 million Canadian dollars (\u20ac527 mn) in direct subsidies granted to Shell by the provincial and federal governments so far, Canadian taxpayers covered 93 per cent of the costs of the Quest project. \n\n\u201cThis was all legal, but that doesn\u2019t make it right,\u201d adds Stewart. \u201cThose who have polluted and profited the most must be held accountable. \n\n\u201cWe need oil companies to start phasing down production, while financially supporting the most vulnerable people, communities, and countries in their transition to clean, renewable energy.\u201d \n\nA spokesperson for Shell says, \u201cShell and the joint venture agreed to an innovative mechanism to make investment in the Quest CCS project viable, so that we and the Government of Alberta could see this important proof of concept built. The incentive involved the use of double carbon credits, but only until the project costs broke even.\u201d \n\nThis article has been updated to reflect the fact that the additional credits that Shell earned were only used to meet its own environmental obligations in Alberta, and that Shell itself did not sell them to other companies.\u00a0 \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A Shell-operated plant in Canada reported millions of \u2018phantom\u2019 carbon credits based on emissions savings that never happened, according to a new investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The fossil fuel giant struck a deal with the Government of Alberta that enabled it to register carbon credits at twice the volume of CO2 emissions avoided by its Quest carbon capture facility.<\/p>\n<p>On the carbon market, tradable credits are typically equivalent to one tonne of CO2.

\u201cNight Watch\u201d by Jayne Anne Phillips \n\nSet in West Virginia\u2019s Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in the aftermath of the Civil War, the author\u2019s third instalment in a trilogy about different wars, follows a 12-year-old girl and her mother, who was abused by a Confederate soldier. \n\nPhillips, a West Virginia native, said she began writing eight years ago, and found the Civil War era increasingly, and uncomfortably, timely. \n\n\u201cThe Civil War still has such an enormous hold on this country,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope people can pick up a piece of fiction and put their politics aside and enter into feeling what it was like for people at that time.\u201d \n\nHistory - \u201cNo Right to an Honest living: The Struggles of Boston\u2019s Black Workers in the Civil War Era\u201d by Jacqueline Jones \n\nJones, a longtime faculty member of the University of Texas at Austin who has been a Pulitzer finalist twice before, noted that so much remains to be written about the Civil War because until recently narratives focused on the battlefield. \n\nShe began working on \u201cNo Right to an Honest Living\u201d because she wondered how Black people were treated in Boston at a time when the city was a centre of anti-slavery activism. \n\n\u201cIt turns out, the radical abolitionists represented a very small minority in Boston and that the social division of labour was really discriminatory,\" she said. \n\nDrama - \u201cPrimary Trust\u201d by Eboni Booth \n\nThe Pulitzer committee called Booth\u2019s play \u201ca simple and elegantly crafted story of an emotionally damaged man who finds a new job, new friends and a new sense of worth, illustrating how small acts of kindness can change a person\u2019s life and enrich an entire community.\u201d \n\nThe drama is about a Black bookstore worker\u2019s unexpected journey after he loses his longtime job. The lonely, full-grown man with an imaginary friend drinks away his life at a tiki bar until he is aided by some residents of his small town outside Rochester, New York. \n\nBooth, a New York City native, began her career as a stage actor and has also written for TV shows \u201cWe Were the Lucky Ones\u201d and \u201cJulia\u201d. \n\nAfter winning, Booth told the New York Times, \u201cI wrote this play because I feel so alone so much of the time, or I have felt so alone, particularly when I was growing up.

I wrote about being hungry for connection, and then I got so much connection through the production, and that was very meaningful.\u201d \n\nBiography - \u201cMaster Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom\u201d by Ilyon Woo AND \u201cKing: A Life\u201d by Jonathan Eig \n\nThe two winners for this year\u2019s biography category both focused on the African-American experience. \n\n\u201cKing\u201d offers a \u201crevelatory portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr.\u201d with new source material that helps readers better understand the civil rights leader\u2019s life.

The Arizona native\u2019s work focuses on \u201ccommunity rather than conflict,\u201d according to the Pulitzer committee, and highlights \u201cthe dignity of his family\u2019s working lives.\u201d \n\nSom is an associate professor of literature and creative writing at the University of California, San Diego. \n\nMusic - \u201cAdagio (For Wadada Leo Smith)\" by Tyshawn Sorey \n\nThe 43-year-old American composer and multi-instrumentalist was the New York Times\u2019 \u201ccomposer of the year\u201d in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic inspired him to create a prolific body of work, despite restrictions on live performance. \n\nSorey\u2019s saxophone concerto premiered on 16 March 2023 at Atlanta Symphony Hall. The Pulitzer committee called it a \u201cbeautiful homage that\u2019s quietly intense, treasuring intimacy rather than spectacle.\u201d \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Several stories tackling race, slavery and the US Civil War, both real and invented, were among the winners this year for the Pulitzer Prizes, the US-based awards that honour the best in journalism and the arts.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a breakdown of the laureates, in eight categories covering the arts \u2013 which focus on books, theatre and music.<\/p>\n<h2>Fiction -
