Contributor/Getty Images (NEW YORK) -- As Russia continues its nearly 16-month-long invasion of neighboring Ukraine, political turmoil has erupted in Moscow while Kyiv tries to take back territory. A feud between Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Russian paramilitary organization Wagner Group, and Russia's top military brass escalated as Prigozhin's forces left the front line in Ukraine and marched across the border to seize a key Russian city. They then marched north toward Russia's capital, seemingly unopposed, before turning around just hours later.

PHNOM PENH—Kim Mangrobang found naturalized Cambodian Margot Garabedian a tough customer on Monday at the Kep Beach Resort that ended the Filipino's string of gold medals in women's triathlon at the 32nd Southeast Asian Games. Garabedian quickly rose out of the water in the 750-meter swim, kept Mangrobang at bay in the 20km bike before sealing victory in one hour, five minutes and 34.2 seconds after a steamy 5km run. Mangrobang, the three-time champion since the 2017 edition of the Games in Malaysia, reached the beach running third, slowed down in the bike sequence and chased Garabedian in the footrace.

Big Swiss is a bold, idiosyncratic novel with a lot more cunnilingus than expected (although the tongue on the cover should probably be a giveaway). Greta is a hot mess in the grand tradition that will be familiar to fans of cult television shows about reckless women with traumatic pasts such as Fleabag , I May Destroy You and anything starring Daisy May Cooper. Greta is a loner who is paid to transcribe sex therapy sessions. She spends her days in a crumbling Dutch farmhouse in upstate New York infested by bees, 'a one-cigarette drive from town', listening to the disembodied voices of a pretentious therapist, Om, and his various clients as they divulge their darkest, dirtiest secrets.
