England complete famous innings win over Pakistan on day five of first Test – reaction

Jack Leach cleaned up on the final morning in Multan to complete an historic victory for England

42nd over: Pakistan 169-6 (Salman 55, Jamal 30) Salman touches Atkinson to fine leg to reach a really good half-century. Chuck in his first-innings hundred and he has scored 156 runs without being dismissed.

The TV commentators are discussing Pakistan’s squad for the second Test. I can’t see wholesale changes – that’s not how Jason Gillespie works – but there’s a case for asking Babar Azam whether he needs a break to refresh mentally. Graham Gooch did that in 1989 and within a year he was biffing 333.

Saturday Night Live: the 20 greatest sketches ever

The comedy show reaches its 50th anniversary this week and to celebrate, a look back to its funniest moments ever

With the season premiere this past weekend, Saturday Night Live celebrated its 50th season on air. It’s a remarkable achievement for a show that seemed doomed from the start (see, or maybe don’t, the historical dramedy Saturday Night, currently in US theaters) and one that has had ups and downs worthy of the Big Apple’s skyline.

Choosing the 100 greatest sketches from the show’s run would be a daunting task, so having to pick just 20 is downright impossible. For every one that is listed below, you could probably swap in 10 more just as good, if not better.

‘It’s like, wow. I was really deranged’: stars and repentant stans on the terror of toxic fandom

Chappell Roan, Halsey and Tegan and Sara are among the music icons rebuking bad fan behaviour. From catfishing to sexual assault and death threats, singers and fans explore how pop became so dehumanised

This summer, norms of pop flipped when musicians started telling off their fans. Leading the pack was Chappell Roan, the 26-year-old breakout star of 2024. In a statement on Instagram, she outlined the “too many nonconsensual physical and social interactions” she had had with fans, including people hassling her family and friends. One fan even grabbed and kissed her while she was in a bar, she said. “I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path,” she wrote, “nor do I deserve it.”

Roan isn’t alone. In the past year, Halsey has called out her “mean” fanbase in a now-deleted post on Tumblr. The band Muna chastised certain fans for bullying and cyberstalking. Doja Cat called fans who tried to give themselves a collective name, à la Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters, “creepy as fuck”. Even Taylor Swift, whose relationship with the Swifties has previously felt sacrosanct, prodded at overbearing fan behaviour on her album The Tortured Poets Department. Artists, it seems, are finally pushing back against intrusive fan culture.

Marc Cucurella: ‘Before, people liked the superstars, now they empathise with me’

Spain’s cult hero on the injury layoff that revived his career, not taking football too seriously and Chelsea’s resurgence

“Before it was Ronaldinho and now it’s people like … well, me,” Marc Cucurella says, and then there is laughter. With him there is a lot of laughter. All of a sudden the Chelsea defender is a European champion and cult hero, and you can see why. There’s the hair: massive, as the song says, and in the right light still a bit red, celebratory dye not entirely washed out three months after Spain won Euro 2024. There’s the playing style that helped take them there, “one people empathise with”. And there’s the personality. What was it Erling Haaland said? “He’s a funny man.”

A very funny man.

Elon Musk unveils Tesla Cybercab self-driving robotaxi

Billionaire says autonomous car expected ‘before 2027’ will have a pricetag of less than US$30,000, with a ‘Robovan’ that can carry 20 people to follow

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled the company’s robotaxi, Cybercab, promising it will cost less than US$30,000, and announced plans to bring autonomous driving to its Model 3 and Model Y cars in California and Texas by next year.

At the much-anticipated We, Robot event hosted at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, the billionaire arrived in the Cybercab in his trademark black leather jacket, accompanied by a man dressed in a space suit. Human-like robots mingled in the crowd, danced and served drinks to those gathered for the party.

ECHR ruling for Cyprus asylum seekers may embolden refugees in buffer zone

Lawyers predict more claims after ‘perfect win’ for two Syrian asylum seekers pushed back to Lebanon

A ruling by the European court of human rights ordering authorities in Cyprus to pay damages to two Syrian refugees found to have been prevented from applying for asylum has been welcomed as a “perfect” victory by campaigners.

Lawyers said Tuesday’s judgment would encourage others to follow suit, including an ever-growing group of asylum seekers stranded in the UN-patrolled buffer zone of the war-split country.

The Book of Abba by Jan Gradvall review – dark backstories and new revelations

From Himmler to herring, a Swedish music critic offers unexpected angles on the 70s supergroup

It comes as something of a surprise, 22 pages into The Book of ABBA, to find yourself reading about Heinrich Himmler. But there he is, in between a description of how Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus met and an explanation of the youth cult raggare, Sweden’s answer to rockers or greasers (the raggare’s 60s band of choice were the Hep Stars, featuring a pre-Abba Benny Andersson, surely the least likely musician in history to have once provided soundtrack for leather-clad, booze-fuelled gang warfare). There are details of Himmler’s “breeding policy”, lebensborn, and of its influence on both the plot of Hiroshima Mon Amour and a grim sub-genre of porny Nazi-centric pulp fiction that proliferated after the second world war.

There is, it should be noted, a link between all this and Abba – Anni-Frid Lyngstand’s mother was Norwegian and her father a member of the occupying German army – but, nevertheless, notice is served that Melancholy Undercover is not the book you might expect. A series of essays rather than a chronological history, it certainly covers all the bases, from Eurovision to the groundbreaking “virtual concert” Voyage, alongside global success on a scale even more staggering than you might have realised: Abba, it turns out, were huge in 70s Afghanistan, and so big in Vietnam that one journalist suggests their profoundly morose 1980 track Happy New Year is “probably the [country’s] most revered song … after the national anthem”.

Vera Lutter: photographs challenging the boundaries of space and time

German artist Vera Lutter’s photographs are made with large camera obscuras, often the size of an entire room, and using long exposure times ranging from a few minutes to months, depending on light conditions and the size of the pinhole. An exhibition in Italy brings together for the first time a large selection of her photographs focusing on industry, work and infrastructures that facilitate the movement of goods and people.

From the Peloponnese to the Pyrenees: readers’ favourite long-distance walks in Europe

Pull on your walking boots and immerse yourself in magnificent scenery on these long-distance trails, chosen by our tipsters

The best ever walk I’ve been on was actually two weeks of walking, along the GR11 on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees from Candanchú to La Guingueta d’Àneu. We got the train to France, packed food for a week and restocked half way, and wild camped each night. So not only was it the best trip ever, it was also cheap and eco-friendly. Each evening we’d camp by a lake, and start our day with an (incredibly bracing) dip. It is so incredibly beautiful and peaceful, and there’s lots of friendly refuges along the way if you want a chat, a bed and hot food. The route is challenging, but doesn’t require any specialist equipment. At the end, all I wanted to do was carry on walking.

Not all the credit goes to Ratan Tata – but he did shape investment in UK steel and JLR | Nils Prately

Steel and car-making in Britain would have shrunk even further without long-termism of Tata Group’s late former chair

In India, Ratan Tata is being mourned as a towering business leader who took the sprawling family-controlled Tata Group into international markets while retaining its founding spirit of capitalism laced with philanthropy. But the UK has its own reasons to be grateful to the chair of the group from 1991 to 2012. Two heavy industries in the UK – steel and car-making – would almost certainly have shrunk even further without his style of long-termism.

Tata’s 2007 purchase of Corus, the merged British Steel and Dutch firm Koninklijke Hoogovens, was a terrible deal – appallingly timed and overpriced. Having agreed a takeover at 455p a share, the Indian group ended up paying 608p, or £6.2bn, after a Brazilian competitor emerged as a rival bidder. Steel prices promptly collapsed with the global financial crisis and the recession that followed. Steelmakers were losing money across Europe. Since Tata was assumed to be mostly interested in Corus’s more modern Dutch assets, the writing looked to be on the wall for the UK end.

Bella Ciao: a brief history of the resistance anthem sung to Viktor Orbán

A look at the origins and appeal off the song MEPs used to serenade the Hungarian PM in Strasbourg

“This is not Eurovision,” said the speaker of the European parliament, Roberta Metsola, as she tried to silence leftwing MEPs greeting the visiting Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, with a rowdy rendition of the classic anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.

The bang-your-fists-on-the-table motif at the heart of this earworm of a ditty – whose title means “Goodbye, beautiful” – may indeed sound like something cooed through dry fog by a spandex-clad blond at the European song contest. But the story it tells reaches far deeper into the continent’s history than the annual kitsch music extravaganza, telling an age-old tale of the left’s determined struggle against political oppression.

Charli xcx: Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat review – her lime-green imperial phase is unstoppable

(Atlantic)
Big-name guests abound on a thrilling remix album that takes a glimpse into celebrity’s heart of darkness but makes it transcendently fun and cool

On Brat, Charli xcx’s zeitgeist-lassoing sixth album, its creator brooded on her chronically underrated status. Over the sickly sweet deconstructed UK garage of Rewind, she worried about her lack of presence on the Billboard charts, unsure “whether I think I deserve commercial success”. During the jagged synthpop of Sympathy Is a Knife she bristled under the pitying gaze of a megastar peer. On electro dirge I Might Say Something Stupid, she described herself as “famous but not quite”.

The agony and ecstasy of the sub-mainstream pop star proved an incredibly rich seam. Brat mussed up Charli’s cult sound – a harsh and excessively artificial strain of dance-pop – and paired it with lyrics that ricocheted between euphoric swagger and eye-wateringly candid vulnerability. It was so rich, in fact, that the concept cancelled itself out. Brat, which hit No 3 hit on the US chart when it was released in June, became a bona fide commercial hit and a cultural juggernaut – thanks in part to an ingeniously meme-friendly marketing campaign (its cut-through best exemplified by the Kamala Harris campaign co-opting the artwork). It elevated the 32-year-old to the celebrity firmament and, more importantly, shifted pop’s Overton window to a more futuristic, experimental space.

‘We are trying for a baby, but how do we navigate becoming parents if we struggle with monogamy?’ | Leading questions

The things we look for in a romantic or sexual partner, says Eleanor Gordon-Smith, often aren’t the things we look for in a co-parent.

• Read more Leading questions

My partner has recently come to me in significant emotional distress with a reinvigorated want to open our relationship as he feels he needs more “love”. We are actively trying for a child after a few years of infertility and this new [wish] is not doing anything for the stability of our relationship. How do we navigate becoming parents if we struggle with monogamy?

Eleanor says: One of the weird things about 21st century love is the way we select partners first for dating and sexual attraction, and then segue those relationships into partnerships of parenting and household. These are very different kinds of relationships to have with another person. The things we look for in a romantic or sexual partner often aren’t the things we look for in a co-parent.

Lonely Planet review - Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth heat up beach-read travel romance

A novelist meets a financier two decades her junior at a writers’ retreat in Morocco, in this welcome addition to a flurry of age-gap romances released this summer

Be it a quirk of timing or the invisible hand of trend cycles, Hollywood seems ready to reconsider the idea of the “older woman”. A wave of age-gap romances have brought the traditionally objectified mommy-age lover into the mainstream this year, including Anne Hathaway’s tryst with a boybander in The Idea of You; Carol Kane’s free-spirited grandmother involved with a decades-younger widower in Between the Temples; and Nicole Kidman’s transgressive dalliances in both A Family Affair (with Zac Efron’s movie star) and the forthcoming Babygirl (with Harris Dickinson’s intern). And that’s not to mention the weirder, psychosexual French version – a 50ish lawyer seducing her gangly teenage stepson – in Catherine Breillat’s Last Summer.

Now Lonely Planet, a Netflix film from Susannah Grant, writer of Erin Brockovich and most recently the co-creator of the underrated series Unbelievable, continues what Vulture’s Rachel Handler has termed “the year of New Milf Cinema” with a travel romance that exceeds Netflix’s middling expectations.

Carsley: Full Throttle – a weird attempt to reinvent was a tactical backfire | Barney Ronay

Interim England manager went full-on roar ball for the people but Greece claimed a shock win at Wembley

Lee Carsley achieved something at Wembley that might have seemed impossible just a few short weeks ago. On a thrilling, almost entirely shapeless night of international football Carsley made Gareth Southgate look as though, actually, just maybe, he might have known what he was doing, laying on a performance and tactical plan that it was in its own way a wonderfully selfless tribute to his oddly maligned predecessor.

Ok, Carsley seemed to be saying here. The people want full-on, brakes-off, English roar-ball. Let’s see what that actually looks like. And the answer, of course, in any version of the real world, is... well, what exactly? Like a collapsed wedding cake rolling down an ornate set of stairs, while a football match takes place nearby. Like confused talented people running strangely. Like watching someone trying to construct a dinghy out of only liquorice, diamonds and vibes. At some point you will need some twine and a bit of driftwood. But carry on. It’s kind of mesmerising.

Ethel Kennedy obituary

Widow of Bobby Kennedy who brought up 11 children after his 1968 assassination and later devoted herself to social causes

Ethel Kennedy, who has died aged 96, was one of the most active and best-known US political wives of the 20th century. As her husband, Robert F Kennedy, campaigned first for the Senate and then for the presidency, she supported him while also bringing up their children. The 11th and last of them, her daughter Rory, was born after Bobby was assassinated in 1968. From the 1970s onwards, Ethel devoted herself to social causes and was latterly co-chair of the Coalition of Gun Control.

Her life had been touched by tragedy earlier, when her parents died in a plane crash in 1955. Her brother-in-law, President John F Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963. Two of her children died prematurely – David of a drug overdose at the age of 28 in 1984 and Michael in a skiing accident in 1997, when he was 39. Her husband was shot at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles following his victory in the California primary for the US presidential race.

Coronal mass ejection hits Earth and ‘severe’ geomagnetic storm could disrupt power grids and hit satellites and GPS

A “severe” geomagnetic storm and auroral displays of the northern lights far into the south of the US could occur on Thursday after charged solar particles slammed into Earth, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s space weather prediction center has warned.

The center alerted to the approach of an enormous mass of charged solar particles spewing from the sun, later reporting that the coronal mass ejection hit Earth at 11.15am ET on Thursday. A “severe” G4-class geomagnetic storm remained likely.

Eighteen treated for severe nausea in Stuttgart after opera of live sex and piercing

Florentina Holzinger’s bloody Sancta was criticised by Austrian bishops and is now a sellout in Germany

Eighteen theatregoers at Stuttgart’s state opera required medical treatment for severe nausea over the weekend after watching a performance that included live piercing, unsimulated sexual intercourse and copious amounts of fake and real blood.

“On Saturday we had eight and on Sunday we had 10 people who had to be looked after by our visitor service,” said the opera’s spokesperson, Sebastian Ebling, about the two performances of Sancta, a work by the Austrian choreographer Florentina Holzinger. A doctor had been called in for treatment in three instances, he added.

Han Kang’s Nobel win is testament to importance of small press publishing

Literature in translation has long been reliant on indie presses to bring work such as the South Korean author’s to wider audiences

• South Korea’s Han Kang wins 2024 Nobel prize in literature – as it happened

The announcement of the South Korean writer Han Kang as the 2024 Nobel Literature laureate is a triumph not only for Korean literature but also a reminder of the huge reach and influence of small press publishing, which takes on so much of the heavy work of introducing literature in translation to a wider audience.

Though Han’s most recent work has been published in the UK by Hamish Hamilton, an imprint of Penguin Random House, her first novel, The Vegetarian, published in South Korea in 2007, was published by the now defunct independent Portobello Books in 2015. It won the International Booker prize the following year.

Trump and his allies are whipping up a whirlwind of lies about the hurricanes | Sidney Blumenthal

Trump and Vance see the natural disasters not as tragedies but as opportunities to advance their far-right conspiracy theories

Whipping up hurricanes to merge with great replacement theory took hardly a week, about the time it takes for hurricanes themselves to form. The overheated atmosphere warmed the waters that were drawn up into the winds to churn them into a menacing storm.

After Hurricane Helene hit, Donald Trump unleashed a whirlwind of humid lies: the federal government was deliberately preventing aid and even water from reaching areas that held Republican voters, “not getting anything”; Kamala Harris “spent all her Fema money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants”; and Fema was offering only $750 in disaster relief – all false, all debunked by the Republican governors in the affected states. The Republican congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina felt compelled to issue a statement to his constituents not to listen to “untrustworthy sources trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts” and the “outrageous rumors spread online”.

New images show remarkable state of preservation of Ernest Shackleton’s ship

Composite images of Endurance compiled from 25,000 digital scans mapped by underwater robots

More than a century after it sank below the icy Weddell Sea in Antarctica, forcing its crew to embark on one of the most celebrated survival quests in history, new images have revealed the remarkable state of preservation of Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance.

The famed vessel, which sank in 1915 after becoming stuck in pack ice, was discovered in 2022 resting at a depth of 3km below what Shackleton called “the worst portion of the worst sea in the world”.

Endurance will be at London film festival on 12 October, in UK cinemas on 14 October and on Disney+ later this year.

Portugal proposes decade of tax breaks for young people to stem brain drain

Measure government says will help up to 400,000 people included in budget after negotiations with opposition Socialists

Portugal will attempt to stem the country’s brain drain by offering young people a decade of progressive tax breaks that would see them paying nothing at all in their first year of work.

The centre-right minority government of Luís Montenegro is ditching a proposed 15% cap on income tax for 18- to 35-year-olds and replacing it with a progressive scheme similar to one supported by the opposition Socialists after some last-minute wrangling.

‘My cancer was not in those pictures’: how breast density affects mammograms

A new FDA rule requires that screenings inform people if they have a high ratio of dense breast tissue. Experts say it’s just one step toward awareness

In 2017, 55-year-old Leslie Ferris Yerger underwent a routine mammogram and breast ultrasound. Both came back clear. Two months later, she had an unrelated Dexa scan to measure her bone density. The technician noticed an abnormality in her hip. After additional testing, Yerger was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer – an advanced stage of the disease in which the cancer has spread beyond the breasts.

The mammogram and ultrasound had not picked up the cancer because, Yerger would learn, of her dense breast tissue.

This week more than most, we have been hearing a certain word uttered in fashion circles. Alongside “janties”, “Hedi Slimane” and “kilts”, a perhaps less expected – or, at least, less glitzy – word has been taking up airtime: durability. It comes off the back of Primark’s new Durability Framework, which the fast-fashion giant says is “designed to set the bar for how retailers can extend the life of their clothing – meaning our customers will ultimately be able to love and wear their clothes for longer”.

“Durability shouldn’t be a luxury,” the retailer continued. But while the importance of extending the life of clothes is in no doubt – figures from environmental NGO WRAP show that using an item for nine months can reduce carbon, waste, and water footprints by up to 30% – Primark’s business model is designed to sell masses of clothes at extremely low prices, arguably fuelling a “buy once, wear once” mentality. So it comes as little surprise that Patrick Duffy, founder of the Global Fashion Exchange, describes the announcement as “a textbook example of greenwashing” and “nothing more than a marketing tactic to polish their image”.

Harris campaign’s record $1bn funds fail to translate into swing state advantage

Vice-president raised same amount in 80 days as Biden’s entire 2020 campaign but Democrats worry about polls

• US politics live – latest updates

Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised a record-breaking $1bn within 80 days of her becoming the Democrats’ nominee yet has failed to translate her cash advantage over Donald Trump into a poll advantage in the key battleground states that will probably decide the election.

The vice-president’s fundraising haul, first reported by NBC, dwarfs the $309m raised by Trump’s campaign by the end of August, and equals the amount brought in by Joe Biden for his entire 2020 campaign.
