It can occur after periods of long-term stress and constant pressure. New polling of 4,000 mums has revealed burnout is very much the new normal: nine in 10 mums (93%) have experienced burnout and almost six in 10 (58%) say they feel burnt out “often” or “almost always”. (A previous survey found 81% of mums had experienced it, so the issue is clearly on the rise.) It’s got to the point where some medical professionals are using the term ‘depleted motherhood syndrome’ to refer to the deep, chronic burnout many mothers are quietly living with. Many of us are working, parenting, caring for ageing parents, and trying to manage a household, on repeat, with little respite and support. The latest survey, from Peanut and baby brand Nuna, found seven in 10 mums are doing more childcare or domestic labour than their partner. …

Ontario regulated gambling market now captures overwhelming majority of online players

More Ontarians are sticking with legal online gambling websites, according to a new Ipsos survey commissioned by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and iGaming Ontario. The study found that 91.1% of people in Ontario who gamble online now use regulated gaming platforms licensed in the province. This is a jump of 7.4 percentage points from the previous year. Meanwhile, the share of players using only unregulated gambling websites dropped to 8.9%, compared with 16.3% a year earlier. Number of Ontarians choosing regulated over unregulated online gaming sites surges to 91%: Ipsos study.

Before the province created the regulated system, officials estimated that roughly 70% of online gambling activity happened on offshore or unlicensed sites. Ontario’s market requires operators to meet standards tied to responsible gambling, information security, game integrity, and player protections. Regulators have repeatedly warned that unregulated platforms may expose players …

Bank Indonesia to hike interest rates on May 20, slim majority of economists said

Bank Indonesia to hike interest rates on May 20, slim majority of economists said

BENGALURU, May 19 : Bank Indonesia will hike its key policy rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday, according to a slim majority of economists in a Reuters poll who said the weak rupiah could lead the central bank to tighten policy. The rupiah, already under pressure from concerns about fiscal management and central bank independence before the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran began on February 28, has dropped around 5 per cent since the conflict started, despite regular BI intervention in exchange markets, prompting economists to expect tighter policy. Sixteen of 29 economists polled in the period May 11-18, expected BI to raise its benchmark seven-day reverse repurchase rate to 5.00 per cent on May 20, with the overnight deposit and lending facility rates also seen rising 25 basis points, to 4.00 per cent and 5.75 per cent respectively. “I think the key rationale for a rate hike would be the depreciation of the rupiah in the past month,” said Tay Qi Hang, an economist at ‌the Economist ⁠Intelligence Unit. “What it fundamentally boils down …

Spain’s Conservatives lose majority in Andalusia, leaving far-right deal likely – POLITICO

Spain’s Conservatives lose majority in Andalusia, leaving far-right deal likely – POLITICO

The PP is in opposition at the national level in Spain, and polling ahead of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party ahead of next year’s national vote. With the PP well ahead in polls throughout the Andalusian campaign, the main question ahead of the election was whether Moreno would be able to secure his second consecutive majority in the region, the most populous in Spain. With 99.8 percent of votes counted, the PP is on track to secure 53 seats in the 109-seat parliament, a loss of five seats. Moreno is the leading figure of the PP’s moderate wing. The loss of his party’s majority — albeit by a narrow margin — is a blow to those who saw his centrist politics as a potential model for the national leadership to follow into the next general election, scheduled for 2027. Adelante Andalucía candidate Jose Ignacio Garcia celebrates his party’s results in Jerez de la Frontera on May 17. | Roman Rios/EPA Moreno had appealed to conservative and moderate Socialist voters to turn out to ensure he …

Vast majority of men deported under Trump don’t have criminal convictions

Vast majority of men deported under Trump don’t have criminal convictions

Warning: This graphic requires JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript for the best experience. May 12, 2026 at 5:00 a.m. EDTJust now The Trump administration’s vast deportation effort has led to the removal of an unusually high number of undocumented men who have lived and worked in the United States for years, according to a Washington Post analysis, upending the livelihoods and routines of scores of families. Men account for nine out of every 10 people who have been deported by federal immigration officers since President Donald Trump began his second term last year. That ratio is not new: Women have historically represented a smaller share of those in detention, even as rising numbers of families have arrived in recent years. But the characteristics of the men being taken into custody have changed, and the number of detainees has skyrocketed. The Post’s analysis of Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows that almost a quarter of the 300,000 men removed since January 2025 had lived in the United States for at least three years. In the last year …
