4th over: England 26-0 (Beaumont 10, Jones 15) A sharp delivery from Fraser almost gets through Jones, who is able to deflect it onto the pad. When Fraser gets it right she looks a proper bowler; her problem at this stage is consistency. That’s a good second over, with just one run off the bat – and that came from a misfield.
3rd over: England 24-0 (Beaumont 10, Jones 14) Another boundary for Amy Jones, clipped crisply through midwicket off James. England are off to a flyer.
Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman ranted on video before the antisemitic firebombing attack, declaring “God is greater” than “Zionists” and “America.” The footage, which was filmed in Boulder some time before the attack, was published by a pro-Hamas Telegram channel and features several jump cuts and distorted audio at times. “God is greater than...

German and Portuguese officers work in countryside near resort where toddler went missing
Searches for Madeleine McCann have resumed in Portugal with police using a digger to clear debris around an abandoned building a few miles from where the British toddler was last seen in 2007.
On Wednesday, Portuguese and German authorities continued focusing on derelict structures in countryside a few miles from the resort of Praia da Luz.
The fresh searches for Madeleine began on Tuesday, 18 years after the three-year-old disappeared from Praia da Luz while her parents were out having dinner, leaving her sleeping in a nearby room with her toddler twin siblings.
The sounds of chainsaws and strimmers could be heard as investigators appeared to continue clearing areas of scrubland in Atalaia, on the outskirts of Praia da Luz.
Police used a JCB to clear rubble around one building and also appeared to have emptied another nearby disused structure of debris. Bricks and rocks could be seen piled outside the graffitied structure.
Personnel wore protective gear including as hard hats and face masks as they cleared vegetation around the structures.
Officers stopped journalists from getting close to the search areas, which were cordoned off with police tape.
The search is being carried out at the request of the German federal police, as they look for evidence that could implicate prime suspect Christian Brückner, who is in prison for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005.
Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine’s parents, are not commenting during the “active police investigation”, staff at the Find Madeleine campaign said.
Brückner is due to be released from jail in September if no further charges are brought.
In October last year, Brückner was cleared by a German court of unrelated sexual offences, alleged to have taken place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
About 30 German police, including forensic experts, are expected to take part in the search, which is expected to last until Friday, along with Portuguese officers.
The Metropolitan police said they were aware of the operation but that British officers would not be present.
Facing electricity blackouts and rampant inflation, Nigerians are turning to what is also called ‘trenches music’ to vent their frustrations and find joy and hope in life
The air conditioning sputters to a halt. The TV clicks off. The steady hum of electricity gives way to silence, swallowed by the creeping Lagos heat and the lingering scent of lavender from a diffuser. Everyone in the room sighs.
We’re in the flat of 23-year-old musician M3lon in the suburb of Lekki, talking about Nigeria’s Afro-Adura, also known as trenches music (trench being a slang term for a ghetto or impoverished area). This is raw songcraft drawing together gospel, trap and the energetic Nigerian pop style of fuji, leaning heavily on Yoruba proverbs, idioms and faith – adura translates to prayer.
Slovenia’s children are less likely to know deprivation than any other European nation’s. Is that because of what the country is doing now – or its socialist past?
Much of the world doesn’t have a clue what to do about child poverty, or even when to do it. In the UK the Labour government recently delayed its flagship policy on tackling the issue until the autumn. But if you’re looking for inspiration, it might be worth asking what Slovenia has been getting right. The country has the lowest rates of child poverty in Europe.
Why? The glaringly obvious reason is that Slovenia is a very economically equal country. “The heritage of the social state, from communist times, is still here,” says Marta Gregorčič, a professor at the Institute of Macroeconomic Analysis and Development, which addresses household distress and poverty.
Alan Dershowitz calls his new book his “magnum opus.” It’s the culmination of the legendary legal mind’s 60-year career — and he’s written nearly that many books.

Sonia ‘Sunny’ Jacobs was exonerated of murder after 17 years and later married an Irish man
After enduring hellish years on America’s death row for a crime she did not commit, Sonia “Sunny” Jacobs found an idyll, and healing, in rural Ireland. But in a final, cruel twist, her sanctuary claimed her life.
Jacobs, 78, and her carer, Kevin Kelly, were found dead on Tuesday after a fire at her cottage near the village of Casla, in County Galway.
Dutch far-right leader’s withdrawal from ruling coalition has upset allies and misjudged changed political landscape
It is a gamble that Geert Wilders may live to regret. Increasingly frustrated by his coalition partners’ unwillingness to embrace his promised “strictest asylum policy in Europe”, the Dutch far-right leader brought down the government.
Wilders’ calculation, if it is more than a fit of political pique, appears simple: if he can turn this autumn’s snap elections into a referendum on immigration and asylum, his Freedom party (PVV) can win it – and he might even become the Netherlands’ prime minister.
