A 20-year-old Palestinian-American was killed by Israeli settlers while visiting relatives in the occupied West Bank, his family have said.

Sayfollah “Saif” Musallet was reportedly beaten by Israeli settlers while he was on his family’s farm in an area near Ramallah. A group then prevented ambulances from reaching Musallet for three hours, according to the family, who said he died of his injuries before reaching hospital.

Unite attacks Angela Rayner over ‘abhorrent’ handling of Birmingham bin strikes

Deputy PM accused of refusing to engage as union considers cutting ties with Labour

Angela Rayner has been accused of handling the Birmingham bin workers’ strike in a “totally and utterly abhorrent” way by the Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham.

Graham told BBC Radio 4 Today’s programme: “Angela Rayner refuses to get involved, and she is directly aiding and abetting the fire-and-rehire of these bin workers, it is totally and utterly abhorrent.”

Tour de France 2025: stage eight, from Saint-Méen-le-Grand to Laval – live

Third placed on yesterday’s stage, the 22-year-old Oscar Onley (Picnic-PostNL) has caught the attention of Tour pundits as one to watch. The Scot spoke to TNT Sports about yesterday’s result and also his hopes for Monday’s mountain stage:

On yesterday’s third place finish:

It’s a little bit of a suprise but these kind of stages suit me well. To be behind Pogačar and Vingegaard yesterday gives you a bit of confidence … It’s nice to be able to pay the team back.

[I’m going to] take it easy and try to recover. [I’m] looking forward to Monday, it should be another one that suits me.

Artist or activist? For Juliet Stevenson and her husband, Gaza leaves them with no choice

Film-maker Hugh Brody hopes to honour his mother, a Holocaust survivor, with a show of solidarity for Palestine

Read any celebrity-signed open letter advocating for social justice over the past few years and you’ll probably spot Juliet Stevenson’s name. When the veteran actor is not gracing screens or on a stage somewhere, she’s out on the streets brandishing a placard or giving speeches about human rights, gender equality and the Palestinian right to self-determination.

Just last month, she wrote in the Guardian about the British government’s “complicity” in the Gaza atrocities and what she called an attempt to repress civil liberties by proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

A conversation on the past, present and future of the Liberty with Kiah Stokes, who’s seen it all

Kiah Stokes has played almost as many games in an Aces uniform as she did for the Liberty. But returning to New York never gets old for the veteran center. Stokes was with the Liberty during the franchise’s dark days. She played her first three seasons (2015-17) at Madison Square Garden before they were moved...

Lions’ flying Scotsmen see off Invitational XV but Cowan-Dickie head injury another blow

  • Invitational AU & NZ XV 0-48 British & Irish Lions

  • Van der Merwe hat-trick leads eight-try rout

The Lions were never going to rival Sir Donald Bradman’s scoring rate at this historic ground, but they did their best to keep Adelaide Oval’s beautiful old scoreboard ticking over. It was certainly the first time the first six tries of a modern-day Lions’s victory have all been scored by Scotland players, allowing the touring team to take the psychological high road to Brisbane for next week’s first Test.

Aside from the premature departure of Luke Cowan-Dickie, who was carried off after misjudging an attempted first-half tackle, and a possible doubt over Garry Ringrose, not involved here, there was almost nothing to ruffle the Lions management. Duhan van der Merwe claimed a hat-trick, Henry Pollock stole in for a typically opportunist second-half score that few others would have made and, defensively, the AUNZ side were barely given a sniff.

2024 book review: Trump, Biden, Harris and a turbulent election full of what-ifs

Deeply sourced narrative charts the delusions of the main players and the disastrous debate that reset the campaign

Donald Trump is on a roll. The “big, beautiful bill” is law. Ice, his paramilitary immigration force, rivals foreign armies for size and funding. Democrats stand demoralized and divided. 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, is a book for these times: aptly named, deeply sourced.

Kamala Harris declined to speak. Joe Biden criticized his successor in a brief phone call, then balked. Trump talked, of course.

2024 is published in the US by Penguin Random House
