guardian.co.uk — Sergio García's ongoing spat with Tiger Woods took an unwelcome turn night, when the Spaniard made what could be interpreted as a racist remark about his opponent.

Dishes of olive oil to be banned from restaurants? The EU's gone mad

How to spot a swivel-eyed loon

Cannes 2013: Only God Forgives - first look review

By Peter Bradshaw
guardian.co.uk — It may not win the Palme D'Or, but it could win the Walkout D'Or, a gold trophy of a cinema-seat banged up into the upright position. Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives is a glitteringly strange, mesmeric and mad film set among American criminal expatriates in Bangkok.

Dumbass: Ai Weiwei releases heavy metal music video

By Tania Branigan
guardian.co.uk — Gangnam style it ain't, but one of the most hotly anticipated musical releases of the summer has finally emerged blinking into the glare of international attention: Ai Weiwei's heavy-metal single Dumbass. The Chinese artist and activist portrayed its creation as a cathartic experience helping him to deal with the impact of his 81-day detention in 2011, which sparked international protests.

BBC may charge Sky for content as retransmission fee row escalates

By John Plunkett
guardian.co.uk — The BBC has raised the stakes in its row with BSkyB over retransmission fees and will consider charging the satellite broadcaster for channels such as BBC1 if the fees are not dropped. Sky currently charges the BBC, along with other public service broadcasters ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, to carry its TV and radio channels on its pay-TV services.

The great European Cup teams: Ajax 1971-73

By Jonathan Wilson
guardian.co.uk — It's difficult now, given the city's reputation for liberalism and excess to imagine Amsterdam in the years following the second world war. It was a dull, staid place where, as Albert Camus wrote in the Fall, published in 1955, "for centuries, pipe smokers have been watching the same rain falling on the same canal".

Gay marriage bill may lead to 'lesbian queen and artificially inseminated heir'

By Nicholas Watt
guardian.co.uk — The determination of David Cameron to press ahead with legalising gay marriage opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination, Lord Tebbit has warned. In one of his more outspoken interventions, the former Conservative party chairman told the Big Issue magazine that the legislation could also allow him to marry his son to escape inheritance tax.

The great European Cup teams: Real Madrid 1955-60

guardian.co.uk — On St Crispin's Day in 1960 Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 to win the European Cup in front of a crowd of 127,621 at Hampden Park. It was by common consent one of the finest exhibitions of attacking football ever seen in Britain up to that point and reminded fans on both sides of the border of the shortcomings of the domestic game.

Most UK species in decline, wildlife stocktake shows

By Damian Carrington
guardian.co.uk — An unprecedented stocktake of UK wildlife has revealed that most species are struggling and that one in three have halved in number in the past half century. The unique report, based on scientific analysis of tens of millions of observations from volunteers, shows that from woodland to farmland and from freshwater streams to the sea, many animals, birds, insects, fish and plants are in trouble.
