| EgyptAir Flight MS804 from Paris disappeared over the eastern Mediterranean Sea 160 miles short of its destination, Cairo. The plane was carrying 56 passengers and 10 crew, including 30 Egyptian and 15 French nationals, as well as three Egyptian security officials. Though the French president, François Hollande, and Greek officials have said the plane appears to have crashed, Egypt’s prime minister, Sherif Ismail, said it was too early to rule out any explanation for the incident, including terrorism. | EgyptAir Flight MS804 from Paris disappeared over the eastern Mediterranean Sea 160 miles short of its destination, Cairo.

| Meanwhile, in a compelling Long Read, The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland says whether Donald Trump wins the presidency or not, his rise reveals a growing attraction to political demagogues – and points to a wider crisis of democracy. But why is Trump so effective? The reason, Freedland suggests, is part showbiz: “Trump understood that people will always tune in to watch a taboo being broken”; and part humour: “His flamboyant self-love is funny, his mocking of his enemies is funny.” But the most powerful is the thrill Trump generates in the room, and in the audience watching on TV, when he dares reject the rules of the game …” | Meanwhile, in a compelling Long Read, The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland says whether Donald Trump wins the presidency or not, his rise reveals a growing attraction to political demagogues – and points to a wider crisis of democracy.

| Climate change is behind the emergence of a new grizzly-polar hybrid that looks like a throwback to the era 150,000 years ago when polar bears evolved from brown bears. A bear shot in northern Canada is believed to be a hybrid – and a consequence of the increasing interactions between the two bear species as grizzlies move north as their environment warms and into polar bear territory. Hunter Didji Ishalook photographed the bear near the small community of Arviat, located on Hudson Bay within Canada’s Arctic region. “It looks like a polar bear but it’s got brown paws and big claws like a grizzly,” Ishalook reported. “And the shape of a grizzly head.” | Climate change is behind the emergence of a new grizzly-polar hybrid that looks like a throwback to the era 150,000 years ago when polar bears evolved from brown bears.

| The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, has maintained his country will not be the next to collapse. But, writes Latin America correspondent Jonathan Watts, he may not have much choice. Set against ongoing social unrest triggered by the world’s highest inflation rate, falling oil prices, severe recession and dire shortages of food, medicine and electricity, Maduro is increasingly relying on repression to maintain control. In the latest clashes between opposition protesters and riot police on Wednesday, it became apparent that it’s no longer just the middle class taking to the streets but the poor. | The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, has maintained his country will not be the next to collapse.

A Pew Research poll – the first major survey on shared, collaborative and on-demand services – finds that liberals love Uber and Airbnb so much, they’re embracing conservative values when it comes to regulating them. | A new study finds disruptive services like Uber and Airbnb aren’t just overturning conventions of transportation and accommodation, they’re turning traditional views on regulation upside down.

To quote Voltaire, he writes: “The supposed right of intolerance is absurd and barbaric.” | President Obama started it at a Rutgers University commencement address on Saturday, then came Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

| More than 88,000 residents evacuated during the Alberta wildfire must wait until June to return home even as the blaze continues to rage out of control in remote forested areas. Over the past 24 hours, the relentless fire has expanded by 68,000 hectares in the past day, making it more than six times the size of Toronto; earlier this week, it consumed one oil sands camp but firefighters have succeeded in protecting others. | More than 88,000 residents evacuated during the Alberta wildfire must wait until June to return home even as the blaze continues to rage out of control in remote forested areas.

| Dean Burnett wonders if you make a woman laugh, is she more likely to sleep with you? Answer: if she laughs at you once you’re naked, he predicts, things could be going wrong. Still, there’s a certain evidence, or at least a theory, that the ability to make jokes and amuse people is a sign of psychological health and fitness. On the flipside, Burnett writes, “there’s evidence to suggest that many people see excessive humour as a sign that someone is psychologically unwell, hence the whole ‘tears of a clown’ cliche”. | Dean Burnett wonders if you make a woman laugh, is she more likely to sleep with you?

| A Chinese couple has spent their wedding night assiduously copying out the 17,000-word communist constitution. This was part of a national campaign designed to raise awareness of the party’s rules. Li Yunpeng and his bride, Chen Xuanchi – both civil servants from the eastern province of Jiangxi – said the undertaking was a way of creating “beautiful memories”. | A Chinese couple has spent their wedding night assiduously copying out the 17,000-word communist constitution.
