California governor made threat amid reports Trump is weighing huge federal funding cuts targeting state

The US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, has warned California governor Gavin Newsom that he would be guilty of “criminal tax evasion” if he withholds his state’s tax payments to the federal government amid threats of a funding cut by Donald Trump.

Newsom had threatened to cut tax payments to the federal government two days ago after reports that Trump was preparing huge federal funding cuts targeting Democrat-dominated California, including its state university system.

• Potential fee could be most expensive for German club

• Playoff winner Tommy Watson sold to Brighton for £10m

Jobe Bellingham is poised to swap Sunderland for Borussia Dortmund after the clubs agreed an initial fee of around £28m, potentially rising to £32m.

The 19-year-old England Under-21 midfielder, the younger brother of Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham, has just played a key part in helping Sunderland to secure promotion to the Premier League but is now following in his sibling’s footsteps and heading to the Bundesliga.

Chancellor still at negotiating table on Sunday as Home Office demands more cash

Rachel Reeves has been locked in a standoff over the policing and council budgets just days before this week’s spending review, which is set to give billions to the NHS, defence and technology.

Yvette Cooper’s Home Office and Angela Rayner’s housing and local government ministry were the two departments still at the negotiating table on Sunday fighting for more cash, after weeks of trying to reach a settlement.

• Alcaraz wins 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2)

• Spaniard wins fifth grand slam title against world No 1

As he faced up to the excruciating reality of trailing three championship points against the best player in the world, Carlos Alcaraz started his service preparation from the Court Philippe-Chatrier baseline with a deep, long breath. For most other players in the history of tennis, there was no reason to believe in any outcome other than defeat.

In his short time competing in the biggest matches of his sport, however, Alcaraz has made it clear that he is different to anyone who has come before him, both in the way he approaches his tennis and the unwavering belief that underpins his success. Alcaraz recovered and pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the sport, in an otherworldly confrontation, spectacularly toppling the world No 1 Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2) after five hours and 29 minutes to defend his French Open title in Paris.

Ed, a pet who went viral online during his disappearance, was airlifted after he was found safe in a pasture

A runaway pet zebra that was on the loose for more than a week in Tennessee and became an internet sensation in the process was captured on Sunday, authorities said.

Ed the zebra was captured safely after being located in a pasture near a subdivision in the Christiana community in central Tennessee, the Rutherford county sheriff’s office confirmed. The sheriff’s office said aviation crews captured the zebra.

Environmental groups welcome government proposals to clamp down on destructive fishing practice

Environmental groups have welcomed government proposals to ban the destructive fishing practice known as bottom trawling in half of England’s protected seas.

The plan, to be announced on Monday by the environment secretary, Steve Reed, came before a UN summit in Nice to tackle the ocean’s failing health. It follows pressure from conservationists and the release of a David Attenborough film featuring rare underwater footage of the devastation to the seabed caused by bottom trawling in British waters.

Terry Moran to be evaluated after now deleted post said Stephen Miller is ‘richly endowed with capacity for hatred’

ABC News has suspended its senior national correspondent after he described top White House aide Stephen Miller as “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred” on social media.

In a now deleted post, Terry Moran, who recently conducted an interview with Donald Trump, said that the president and his deputy chief of staff, Miller, were both “world-class” haters.

• Second T20I: WI 196-6, Eng 199-6; England won by 4 wkts

• Right-hander dominant in the middle with Jacob Bethell

The drought continues for the West Indies men. A total of 196 looked enough to end a sequence of nine consecutive away defeats against England, a run that began with the bio-bubble Test series of 2020.

With the hosts requiring 71 off 39 balls, Jos Buttler and Harry Brook gone, the game was heading to the visitors. Then came Tom Banton, a first-ball six and a change of tune, the final summary a four-wicket England win to secure an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 international series.

• ‘They know they underperformed,’ says England manager

• England to face Senegal at City Ground on Tuesday

Thomas Tuchel has said his England players must accept his straight-talking criticisms if they are to advance to World Cup glory. The manager did not hold back after the lacklustre performance in the 1-0 qualifying win against Andorra in Barcelona on Saturday, questioning their attitude and body language.

The result followed wins against Albania and Latvia at Wembley in March during Tuchel’s first camp and means England have maximum points in Group K. They have also kept three clean sheets.

Israeli defence minister tells military to ‘take all necessary measures’ to block humanitarian flotilla

The Israeli defence minister has threatened to “take all necessary measures” to prevent a humanitarian ship carrying climate campaigner Greta Thunberg from reaching Gaza.

The Madleen, a boat operated by the activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), says it is attempting to reach the shores of the territory to bring in a symbolic amount of aid and raise international awareness of the continuing humanitarian crisis.

• ‘I just have to manage it,’ Briton tells reporters

• Prize money for WTA 500 event to be £1m

Emma Raducanu has admitted she is unsure how her body will hold up to the rigours of the grass court season after another back spasm in ­training. The 22-year-old’s latest injury ­concern came as she was preparing for the first women’s tournament at Queen’s Club for 52 years, and left her unable to practise for several days.

It was Raducanu’s second back spasm in three weeks, after initially experiencing the problem against Danielle Collins in Strasbourg a week before the French Open, and as a result she goes into the Queen’s Club event with low expectations.

Exclusive: Letter from six top figures says more walkouts by junior colleagues would help those who oppose the NHS

• Letter: Resident doctors should vote against strike action

Six senior figures in England’s medical profession have criticised potential strikes by resident doctors as “a futile gesture” that will harm patients and help those who oppose the NHS.

The move is the first public evidence of the significant unease many senior doctors feel about the possibility of their junior colleagues staging a new campaign of industrial action in England.

Top Democrat adds he would support tech billionaire ‘sounding the alarm’ to Americans on Trump bill amid feud

A leading elected Democrat rejected the idea of taking campaign donations from tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose spectacular fallout with former ally Donald Trump has roiled American politics.

Trump on Saturday said Musk will face “serious consequences” if he moves to support Democratic political candidates in any upcoming elections, following a public rift between the two men over Musk’s staunch opposition to the cost of US president’s planned piece of landmark domestic legislation.

Giving lunch to more pupils is a good move – but poor nutrition points to deeper problems that ministers must face

It was Ellen Wilkinson, education minister in the Attlee government, who announced in 1946 that free school dinners would be introduced, along with free school milk, at the same time as child benefit. No doubt Rachel Reeves, who has a picture of Wilkinson on the wall of her office, is aware of this – and also that the Treasury subsequently decided the policy was unaffordable. The meals were subsidised instead.

Despite these initial charges, and later price rises, poorer children did gain, and keep, an entitlement to free school meals. The announcement last week that this is being extended in England to all those whose parents or carers claim universal credit – rather than restricted to families with incomes lower than £7,400 – should be welcomed by all objectors to child poverty. Being assured of a hot lunch in the middle of the school day makes pupils’ lives better. Children cannot be expected to learn when they do not have enough to eat. This might sound obvious, but is easily forgotten. Scotland and Northern Ireland already have more generous rules in place.

Groundbreaking memoirs continue to shape the history of LGBTQ+ rights

“What if I could write about my life exactly as it was?” the teenage narrator of Edmund White’s A Boy’s Own Story wonders. “What if I could show it in all its density and tedium and its concealed passion, never divined or expressed?” Published in 1982, A Boy’s Own Story was hailed as one of the first coming-out novels, and its author, who died aged 85 last week, as a great pioneer of gay fiction.

This auto-fiction relates White’s privileged adolescence in 1950s Chicago, his struggles with his sexuality and search for a psychoanalytical “cure”. In its extraordinary candour about sex – a hallmark of White’s prodigious career – the novel remains startling today. It arrived at a pivotal moment in gay history: after the hope of the Stonewall uprising and just before the devastation of Aids, both of which White documented in what became an autobiographical trilogy with The Beautiful Room is Empty (1988) and The Farewell Symphony (1998).

UK government declined to conduct Wales-specific impact assessment for plans, despite calls from first minister

Disability benefit cuts planned by the UK government will disproportionately impact the lives of people in Wales, campaigners have said.

Research released by the data analytics company Policy in Practice last week estimated that 190,000 people – 6% of the population – could have their incomes slashed by up to 60% by the end of this parliament if eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip) is tightened as proposed in a March green paper.

Ofcom ‘considering the concerns’ raised after claim that up to 90% of risk assessments will be carried out by AI

Internet safety campaigners have urged the UK’s communications watchdog to limit the use of artificial intelligence in crucial risk assessments after a report that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta was planning to automate checks.

Ofcom said it was “considering the concerns” raised by the campaigners’ letter, after a report last month that up to 90% of all risk assessments at the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp would soon be carried out by AI.

Comments by Sabalenka ignore the American’s ability to perform at her peak under the most difficult circumstances

Aryna Sabalenka was understandably devastated by how her first French Open final unfolded. Having established herself as the No 1 player in the world and made such significant improvements to her game and mentality, she played some of the best tennis of her career in Paris en route to the final. Sabalenka felt she was ready to tackle all obstacles. With her crushing defeat against Coco Gauff in the French Open final after three difficult sets, she found out she was not.

Her expression of that disappointment, however, was one of her least impressive performances of the year. During the trophy ceremony, with Gauff sitting metres away, Sabalenka’s insistence on repeatedly lamenting her “terrible match” was awkward enough. But in her press conference, after having a short amount of time to cool off, Sabalenka tripled down.

The Proteas choking when it matters most is a tale as old as the country itself as history again weighs heavy on their World Test Championship hopes

A South African cricket fan’s standout World Cup catastrophe will depend on when they were born. Baby boomers cite the time, back in 1992, when Brian McMillan was left needing 22 runs off one ball after rain in Sydney washed away any hope of a chase. Millennials are forever haunted by Alan Donald’s dropped bat in that tied semi-final in 1999. Gen Zs must still be wondering how Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller failed to get over the line with 30 needed off as many balls in last year’s T20 final.

The Proteas choking when it matters most is a tale as old as the country itself. Longer, in fact, if you consider that Nelson Mandela was elected president two years after this story began. And throughout it all, one antagonist has loomed largest.

• Over-by-over report from T20 match in Bristol

• ‘Harry’s team now’ Brook makes instant impact

He’s got him first ball! A snorter of a yorker beats Lewis for pace and bangs him right in front. The batter reviews but it’s more in hope than anything. Maybe he thought he made contact with the ball as he attempted to dig it out, but there’s a gap between leather and willow. A stunning start for Wood and England.

The players are now geared up and ready to roll.

We’d just moved to a small town and didn’t know a soul. Then we all got sick at the same time. That food saved us

• Read more in the kindness of strangers series

It was 1996 when my husband was transferred to the small rural town of Healesville for work. In inner-city Melbourne, where we’d been living, we had a support network of neighbours, friends and family. In Healesville we didn’t know a soul. It was just me and my husband, our two little kids and two dogs.

We hadn’t been there long when we all came down with the flu. It wasn’t a cold, it was the flu – complete with aching, fevers and hallucinating. It was terrible.

An international club where dull people meet online to share the tedium of everyday lives is immensely popular. But for one man it’s a place of poignant connection

• Get Guardian Australia’s weekend culture and lifestyle email

The 18th-century English writer Samuel Johnson once wrote, ‘He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others’. It’s a sentiment eagerly embraced by The Dull Men’s Club. Several million members in a number of connected Facebook groups strive to cause dullness in others on a daily basis. In this club, they wear their dullness with pride. The duller the better. This is where the nerds of the world unite.

“Posts that contain bitmoji-avatar-things are far too exciting, and will probably get deleted,” warn the rules of the Dull Men’s Club (Australian branch).

Social media will tell you that all millennials dress one way to work out, while gen Z dresses another. The truth is more complex and far more interesting

Around me, a group of women in skintight gym sets are side planking. Some are wearing full-coverage unitards, others leave slices of midriff bare. No one is wearing a baggy T-shirt from 2008 with a naked Rufus Wainwright on it, and hardened flecks of damp-proof paint. Except me.

If TikTok is to be believed, my gym-mates must be millennials, born between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s; gen Z would find such skin-tightness a bit retro, or basic, or even “jurassic fitness”. Another generational schism has opened online – to add to socks, jeans and boundaries – this time over what millennials and gen Z are wearing to work out in. Tight-on-tight outfits supposedly single you out as a millennial – it is “giving middle school”, said one gen Z user witheringly – while gen Z prefers something baggier. Looking around me at pilates and in the park, though, I suspect some of the women wearing a second, seal-like skin are younger than 30. And here I am, days after turning 40 – squarely a millennial – wearing an enormous T-shirt. It is a muddled picture.

• New Zealander claims overall victory at the last

• Lorena Wiebes takes the stage win for SD Worx-Protime

The teenage prodigy Cat Ferguson came within a hair’s breadth of executing a memorable overall win in her debut Tour of Britain, but was outsprinted by her rival Ally Wollaston at the climax of the final stage in Glasgow.

The pair came into the final sprint tied on time, after Wollaston had erased the 19-year-old Ferguson’s overall lead. Bonus seconds for third place in the final sprint, behind the stage winner, Lorena Wiebes, was enough for the New Zealander to snatch the overall win.

Self-styled ‘misogynist influencer’ claims police radar gun must have been ‘calibrated incorrectly’ and says he cannot afford £300 fine

The controversial British-American influencer Andrew Tate is due to appear in court in Romania on Monday after allegedly being caught at the weekend driving at 196km/h (122mph) in an area with a 50km/h speed limit.

Tate, a 38-year-old professional kickboxer and self-styled “misogynist influencer” who uses social media to share his love of supercars, expensive watches and private jets, lives in Romania with his younger brother, Tristan, where both face charges including trafficking minors and money laundering.

• Manager makes announcement at fiery press conference

• ‘I had no intention of giving up … I’ll be there against Moldova’

Luciano Spalletti has been sacked as Italy’s coach, he said on Sunday, after their heavy loss to Norway, but will take charge of Monday’s game against Moldova. Spalletti made the announcement at a press conference in the wake of Friday’s 3-0 defeat in Oslo, a humiliating start to the visitors’ World Cup qualifying campaign, saying that Gabriele Gravina, the president of the Italian football federation (FIGC), had informed him of the decision on Saturday.

“Last night we were together with president Gravina. He told me that I will be relieved of my position as coach of the national team,” Spalletti said. “I had no intention of giving up. I would have preferred to stay in my place and continue doing my job. I’ll be there tomorrow evening against Moldova, then we’ll resolve the contract.”

ThyssenKrupp executive warns of ‘collateral damage’ to supply chains and urges protective action on energy pricing

Europe’s steel industry faces being wiped out in the face of Donald Trump’s prohibitive 50% tariffs, high energy costs and a mountain of cheaper Chinese steel, one of Germany’s biggest industrial groups has warned.

Ilse Henne, a board member at the steel, engineering and chemicals group ThyssenKrupp, said the industry faced an existential crisis after the US president’s decision last week to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from 25% to 50%.

Three women share how isolation, instability and loneliness led to creativity, family and community

It was business as usual for Jordan Madison in early 2020. Her commute included taking a bus from Silver Spring, Maryland, to her job in Bethesda. Madison, 25, was working at the time on her license to become a clinical marriage and family therapist, and worked part-time at Instacart to earn extra money. By March 2020, the world had shut down because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The first two weeks, I was like: ‘OK, this is nice. I don’t have to leave my house. This is a nice little vacation. We’ll probably go back to work in like a month or so,’” Madison remembered thinking.

US and other nations in the region are expecting active season for potentially ruinous storms in 2025

Tropical storm Barbara has formed off the south-west coast of Mexico, the US National Hurricane Center said early Sunday and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Monday.

No coastal watches or warnings were issued. Maximum sustained winds were near 45 mph (75 kph) with higher gusts.

• Championship leader dominates Aragon Grand Prix

• Ducati rider extends championship lead

Shooting happened about a kilometre from distribution site in Rafah run by Gaza Humanitarian Foundation

At least four people have been killed and others injured by Israeli fire about a kilometre from a food distribution point in Gaza, Palestinian health officials and witnesses said, the latest casualties of a new system to provide supplies that critics say is unethical, chaotic and dangerous.

Palestinian witnesses said Israeli forces had opened fire on Sunday morning as people went to receive supplies from a site in Rafah run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israeli and US-backed group.

We’re obsessed with narratives about powerful men and how they got that way. But our mania for founder myths obscures an ideology of inequality

One Saturday in the spring of 2021, a little achy after receiving our first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, my husband and I decided to stay in bed and click on the first thing suggested to us by our TV. It was WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn, a documentary produced by Hulu about the New York startup WeWork’s spectacular fall from grace. The film mostly chronicles the misdeeds of founder Adam Neumann, the surfer-dude dolt who turned a good idea – co-working spaces that lease small offices to tech startups – into a surreally overvalued conglomerate, before he made a mortifying attempt to take the company public that eventually ended in his forced resignation. As a consolation prize, Neumann infamously received a $1.7bn golden parachute.

The WeWork cautionary tale is partly about slick marketing, which is what seems to have convinced its investors that it was a tech startup. Neumann tried to position WeWork as something much more than a real estate company: he borrowed the tech industry’s idealistic language about changing the world but upped the ante, insisting that the company’s sole mission was “elevat[ing] the world’s consciousness”.

An exhibition in the Belgian capital shows the artistic style was first to seek to appeal to a wider group of consumers

The glazed porcelain vases with bold colours and geometric shapes of the 1920s and 30s are immediately recognisable to many people, says the art historian Cécile Dubois. Often given as a wedding present, these vases were usually passed down as family heirlooms, revealing the accessibility of art deco works, she says, gesturing to the glass cabinet beside her. “If you were a collector, you could find works that cost a fortune, but these pieces were destined for people of more modest means for very reasonable prices.”

Art deco was the first artistic movement that sought to appeal to a wider public beyond the elites, say the organisers of a new exhibition dedicated to the artistic movement of the interwar years, co-curated by Dubois, the president of the Brussels Art Deco Society.

A ghastly coalition of tech bros and religious conservatives is pushing a baby boom. Let’s see how they feel when they’ve dragged a screaming child out of an excrement-fouled ball pit

I absolutely cannot fathom the number of populist rightwing politicians and commentators who have looked at the smouldering mess that is the world currently and thought: “I know what this situation demands – more toddlers.” Population-boosting discourse and policies have spread across Europe (Hungary, Poland, Greece, Italy and beyond), while in the US an unholy coalition of tech bros, religious conservatives, blowhard podcasters and the politicians who pander to them have gone loudly pronatalist. JD Vance used his first speech as vice-president to proclaim: “I want more babies in the United States of America”; Elon Musk called declining birthrates “a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming”; and Trump is considering various procreation-incentivising policies, including a $5,000 “baby bonus”, which I believe is what a carton of eggs – hen, not human – costs in the US these days.

Now Nigel Farage has hopped on the breeding bandwagon (tick that off your “What fresh hell?” bingo card). Reform, he says, wants to go “much further to encourage people to have children”.

Independent monitors confirm Kremlin claims of new and symbolically important advances in east of Ukraine

Russian military units appear to be within 18 miles (29km) of the city of Sumy, three years after Ukraine forced them out of the northern region, while also making new and symbolically important ground in the east.

Independent monitors confirmed Kremlin claims to have retaken the village of Loknia, which had been liberated along with the rest of the Sumy region during Ukraine’s 2022 spring counteroffensive.

Ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ party has faced series of corruption allegations over past year

Tens of thousands of people have gathered in central Madrid to protest against the government of Spain’s socialist prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, and to demand an early general election, as his party, his administration and his family continue to be beset by a succession of corruption allegations.

Sunday’s protest, called by the opposition conservative People’s party (PP) under the slogan “mafia or democracy”, attracted between 45,000 and 50,000 people, according to the central government’s delegation to the region. Organisers put the attendance at 100,000.

William Plastow’s mother believes it is the longest anyone will have been held awaiting trial on protest-related charges

The mother of a man charged in relation to a protest at a site belonging to an Israeli arms manufacturer has said it is outrageous that he faces 21 months in jail before his case goes to trial.

William Plastow, 34, who lives in Manchester, is one of the “Filton 18”, accused of taking part in a Palestine Action protest against an Elbit Systems factory near Bristol in August last year. He denies charges of criminal damage, violent disorder and aggravated burglary.
