| In an exquisitely choreographed performance, the Democratic party lined up its star performers behind Hillary Clinton on Thursday. Clinton’s chorus line now includes Barack Obama, who will begin campaigning for her next week, and Elizabeth Warren, who has declared herself ready to be Clinton’s running mate. Warren praised Clinton as “a fighter with guts”, while Obama’s endorsement video was broadcast on YouTube and released by the Clinton campaign. “I’m with her,” Obama said in the three-minute video. “I don’t think there has ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.” | In an exquisitely choreographed performance, the Democratic party lined up its star performers behind Hillary Clinton on Thursday.

| Amid the hoopla over Clinton’s apparent nomination, there’s a question mark over what Sanders’ army of highly motivated supporters will do next. Clinton desperately wants to win them over, but will they go? “It was never supposed to be about going home after electing Bernie,” says supporter Moumita Ahmed. “It was always to be about building a full-fledged political revolution. Not just electing Bernie into office, but electing an entire government that shares our values.” | Amid the hoopla over Clinton’s apparent nomination, there’s a question mark over what Sanders’ army of highly motivated supporters will do next.

| A two-day remembrance that began yesterday with a traditional Muslim prayer service culminates today with a memorial for the great boxer that would befit a head of state. Today’s service at the Freedom Hall arena in Louisville, before a congregation that will include Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennox Lewis, Don King and foreign leaders, will be open to the public, as Ali wished. Yesterday, a black Cadillac hearse, with a police escort, brought Ali’s body to the service with his widow, children, and two ex-wives. After the service yesterday, civil rights campaigner Rev Jesse Jackson said Ali’s most impressive accomplishment was to exercise “the proper use of fame”. | A two-day remembrance that began yesterday with a traditional Muslim prayer service culminates today with a memorial for the great boxer that would befit a head of state.

| In a new column, the Star Wars actor, writer and comedian writes about her life. In part, this will be an advice column. Fisher says that after a lifetime of “drug addiction and celebration, marriage and mental illness and divorce and shock treatment and heartbreak and motherhood”, she’s turned out to be a broadly happy person. “I will provide solicited advice, based on a life filled with pratfalls and accidents (both in traffic and out). But – and I say this with a thing like love – let the questions come from the younger members of our congested world.” | In a new column, the Star Wars actor, writer and comedian writes about her life.

| Outrage over Stanford rape case continues gather momentum | Outrage over Stanford rape case continues gather momentum |
| The judge in the Brock Turner sexual assault case previously allowed athletes accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old student to show provocative pictures of the victim, the Guardian has learned. Aaron Persky, a Santa Clara judge, made the ruling in a 2011 civil trial stemming from the alleged gang rape by members of a community college baseball team. The images of the alleged victim included “nestling a shot glass full of liquor in her exposed cleavage” and another showing her making a sexually provocative gesture. Persky allowed the images after the defense argued that they would help prove that the woman was not, as she claimed, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Joe Biden added his support to the victim in the Stanford case. | The judge in the Brock Turner sexual assault case previously allowed athletes accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old student to show provocative pictures of the victim, the Guardian has learned.

| The World Health Organisation has issued an advisory to millions of people in regions affected by the Zika virus because of the severe birth defects tied to the disease. WHO said men and women of reproductive age living in areas where there is local transmission of the disease should “be correctly informed and oriented to consider delaying pregnancy”. The health body has identified transmission of the mosquito-borne virus in 60 countries and territories since 2007. It was first detected in semen in French Polynesia in 2007. | The World Health Organisation has issued an advisory to millions of people in regions affected by the Zika virus because of the severe birth defects tied to the disease.

| The San Francisco auction house Bonhams is under fire for allegedly turning on its sprinkler systems at night to discourage the homeless from staying on the sidewalk outside its salesroom. “They treat us like we’re not even human,” said Angelique, who lives in a tent on Utah Street and asked not to be identified by her last name. “It’s already too much, but to be wet, too – that’s crazy.” She said the unexpected shower destroyed much of her food and belongings. | The San Francisco auction house Bonhams is under fire for allegedly turning on its sprinkler systems at night to discourage the homeless from staying on the sidewalk outside its salesroom. “They treat us like we’re not even human,” said Angelique, who lives in a tent on Utah Street and asked not to be identified by her last name. “It’s already too much, but to be wet, too – that’s crazy.” She said the unexpected shower destroyed much of her food and belongings. |

| It doesn’t take a huge leap of imagination to know that Hamilton, which received a record-breaking 16 Tony award nominations, is likely to win big. The only question is: how big? In other categories, Alexis Soloski favors Stephen Karam’s The Humans for best play – the “haunting story of an Irish-American family gathering for an unfestive Thanksgiving dinner is rich in compassion, humor and stuffing”. | It doesn’t take a huge leap of imagination to know that Hamilton, which received a record-breaking 16 Tony award nominations, is likely to win big.

| Are rape ever jokes funny? Depends whom you ask | Are rape ever jokes funny? Depends whom you ask |
| Ashifa Kassam talks to the cast and producers of a Toronto comedy show, Rape is Real & Everywhere, about whether rape can ever be funny. Emma Cooper, one of the two producers behind the show, says it often seems that those who most delight in joking about rape have never lived through the experience. She was once left a note by a man who’d removed his condom during sex without her consent. He’d spelled the word “beautiful” wrong. “Which made me realise that I need to get standards,” she joked. “Rapists’ standards. I want a smart rapist who can understand and spell hard words like ‘communication’, ‘consent’ and ‘coercion’.” | Ashifa Kassam talks to the cast and producers of a Toronto comedy show, Rape is Real & Everywhere, about whether rape can ever be funny.

| A buried platform measuring 184ft by 161ft that “has no parallels” has been found in the ancient city in Jordan, according to archaeologists. They say the new structure, likely built by Nabateans more than 2,000 years ago, was initially identified using satellite imagery. “To my knowledge, we don’t have anything quite like this at Petra,” said Christopher Tuttle, a self-described “space archaeologist” from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who co-authored the study announcing the find. | A buried platform measuring 184ft by 161ft that “has no parallels” has been found in the ancient city in Jordan, according to archaeologists.
