65th over: Sri Lanka 225-9 (Kumara 6, Peiris 0) Matt Kuhnemann, with four wickets of his own, enters his 22nd over. It’s another beauty but Kumara breaks the shackles with a hammered four through mid-off. Good shot by the new No 9.
64th over: Sri Lanka 218-9 (Kumara 0, Peiris 0) Mendis becomes Lyon’s fourth wicket of the innings. And that is a terrible blow for Sri Lanka who have now lost their last established batter. Pressure was on after Angelo Mathews threw away his wicket late yesterday and it has played a role in Mendis playing so weird a shot to be dismissed.
The families of five Thai farm workers held hostage in Gaza for over a year wept with joy and hugged their loved ones as they arrived in Bangkok on Sunday.
The group smiled as they walked into the arrivals hall at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport after being freed on 30 January as part of a ceasefire deal aimed at ending the Israel-Gaza war.
Two-time world champion defeats Simmers in women’s final
Mamiya first surfer in 19 years to win successive Pipeline events
Australia’s Tyler Wright has made surfing history, becoming the first woman to win Hawaii’s iconic Pipe Pro event twice as she snapped her title drought. The two-time world champion beat American defending world champion Caitlin Simmers in a low-scoring final on Sunday (AEDT) at Banzai Pipeline.
Wright won the first women’s Pipe Pro in 2020 and Simmers took out the event a year ago. Simmers was shut down on a wave with a minute left, and Wright won the opening round of the season 7.70 to 3.94.
North Korean leader also pledged further development of nuclear forces; UK foreign secretary says no imminent peace talks with Russia. What we know on day 1,082
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has pledged his ongoing support of Russia’s “just cause” in its war with Ukraine. Kim said the army and people of North Korea “will invariably support and encourage the just cause of the Russian army and people to defend their sovereignty, security and territorial integrity”. In response to the trilateral military cooperation among the US, Japan and South Korea, Kim reiterated the country’s “unshakable policy of more highly developing the nuclear forces”. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed this week that North Korean troops have returned to the frontline in Russia’s Kursk region, after reports Moscow had withdrawn them due to heavy losses. Last month, South Korea said it suspected North Korea of preparing to send more troops to Russia, in addition to about 11,000 soldiers who had been sent to bolster Moscow’s forces in the near-three-year war.
UK foreign secretary David Lammy has said there would be no imminent end to fighting in Ukraine despite Donald Trump’s promises to broker a swift end to the conflict. “I am not sure we are weeks away from peace talks. And I say that because our assessment, which I’m quite sure the US shares, is that [Vladimir] Putin shows absolutely no appetite for negotiation and to bring this war to an end,” Lammy said after meeting Zelenskyy and senior Ukrainian officials in Kyiv. British prime minister Keir Starmer, who has said the UK will “play a full part” in any future security guarantees, has not ruled out sending British troops into Ukraine to act as peacekeepers in the event of a ceasefire with Russia. But Lammy said discussions with European and G7 allies over what type of guarantees might be necessary would “run for some months yet” and it was “premature” to anticipate what role the UK would play.
Russia says it sees no positive steps from the new US administration on disarmament, RIA state news agency reports. Gennady Gatilov, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, said in an interview Russia was “ready to maintain smooth relations of cooperation with any American administration”. “We would be ready to do this within the framework of the Conference on Disarmament … So far, we do not see any positive progress in this regard in Geneva,” Gatilov said.
Zelenskyy says he has met the chair of Nato’s military committee to review the capacities of Ukraine’s long-range weaponry, in a post on X. During a visit with Giuseppe Cavo Dragone to a defence industry enterprise, Zelenskyy confirmed key topics of discussion included continued military assistance from Nato member states and direct investments in domestic production of long-range drones.
A Russian telecoms cable in the Baltic Sea was damaged by an “external impact”, Russian state media news agency Tass reported. The country’s state-owned Rostelecom company said restoration work was under way but did not provide further details and it was unclear when the damage occurred. The Baltic Sea region has been on high alert after a string of outages affecting power cables, telecom links and gas pipelines between the Baltics and Sweden or Finland, leading to increased surveillance operations by Nato members. All were believed to have been caused by ships dragging anchors along the seabed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Russia has denied any involvement.
Best European film at Goya awards goes to movie at the centre of a storm over past social media posts written by its star, Karla Sofía Gascón
Narco-musical Emilia Pérez has won best European film at Spain’s equivalent of the Oscars amid the fallout from its star’s past racist and Islamophobic social media posts.
Karla Sofía Gascón – the star of the film and the first transgender woman to be nominated for a best actress Oscar – did not attend the ceremony after old social media posts emerged in which she denigrates Islam, China and African American George Floyd, unleashing a scandal that has harmed her reputation and the film.
Fight billed as 41-year-old’s last on British soil
Chisora recovered from badly cut eye to win
Derek Chisora overcame a badly cut eye to deliver a gusty unanimous points win over Otto Wallin in Manchester in what was billed as his final fight on British soil. If this showdown at the Co-op Live Arena really was his home swansong, it was a fitting send-off.
Chisora started on the front foot and maintained his momentum despite picking up a deep cut above his right eye in the fifth round, as well as one below, which poured with blood, before going on to twice put Wallin on the canvas. Despite not being able to find a knockout blow, Chisora was handed a unanimous decision, which could now set him up for a shot at the IBF heavyweight title against either Daniel Dubois – the champion – or Joseph Parker, who will meet on 22 February.
Weakened state of three freed Israelis shocks country, while several released Palestinians also need hospitalisation
Hamas freed three hostages from Gaza and Israel released 183 prisoners and detainees on Saturday, the fifth exchange under a fragile, three-week-old ceasefire deal.
The gaunt appearance of the three Israeli men shocked the country, sparking anger and dismay that could increase pressure on the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to extend the agreement to a second stage, bringing home the remaining Israeli captives.
Cold mornings make getting up and out tricky, but a comfortable, cosy and hassle-free knitted dress makes life less complicated
Remove the added fuss of deciding what to wear on miserable dark mornings and instead opt for a chic, one-stop look that requires minimal effort. The new crop of knitted dresses does just that and, like a favourite snuggly jumper, they are not only comfortable but warm, too.
There’s a plentiful supply on the high street, available in autumnal hues from forest green and rich brown to merlot and burgundy, all in a wide selection of styles, from sleek to cosy. Hush’s Tilly merino wool midi in grey has a tie detail to give it a shaped silhouette (4, below), while Reiss’s ivory and black contrasting hem and side stripes creates the illusion of a layered design (1).
Warning by vice-chancellor Deborah Prentice comes as ‘Silicon Valley’ planned between Oxford and Cambridge
The University of Cambridge risks “losing unbelievable talent” owing to a drop-off in funding for PhDs, the vice-chancellor has cautioned.
Prof Deborah Prentice, who took over as vice-chancellor in 2023, described PhD students as “the lifeblood” of the university’s research and innovation work, and expressed concern that funding from research councils had “dropped off significantly”.
In the late 1970s when my parents built the house I still live in, there was no forest. The property was a disused cow pasture, full of scrappy grass and weeds. My parents began planting trees before they began the house build, and now – in my lifespan, 47 years – it has grown into a forest. When I was a child we called my parent’s plantings “the garden”, implying a place managed by us. Cultivated, civilised. Somewhere along the way we renamed it “the forest”. A self-managed ecosystem we occasionally impinged upon – cutting back, cleaning up debris – but only when it made incursions into our actual house.
Spurs heavily criticised after thrashing at Liverpool
Postecoglou’s side travel to Aston Villa in FA Cup
Ange Postecoglou believes he could “destroy” some of his young players’ careers if they are exposed to the spotlight too early given the criticism levelled at his Tottenham side after their 4-0 defeat by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
The Tottenham head coach is expecting to field a similar starting lineup against Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday to the team that were thrashed 4-0 at Anfield as he waits for the return of several key players from injury.
The match that was billed as a battle of the superheroes ended without a winner, all set up for a sequel instead. Kylian Mbappé and Julián Álvarez had looked out from Madrid’s front pages on the morning of the city derby, the media turning Marvel Comic, and they will probably be there on Sunday too but this isn’t over. The man they liken to a Mutant Turtle and the striker they call The Spider scored one each as another derby finished 1-1, leaving these two great rivals first and second in La Liga, a single point between them, left to fight another day.
Between them Mbappé and Álvarez had already scored 37 goals in their debut seasons; on a night that took a while to get going but did eventually become a real contest if certainly not a classic, they took that to 39. Atlético started in the ascendency then Real were revived.
Veteran to play after presumptive season-ending injury
Graham, 36, had decisive strip-sack in Super Bowl LII
Philadelphia Eagles star defensive end Brandon Graham was cleared to return from a torn triceps suffered 11 weeks ago and will play in the Super Bowl against Kansas City.
The 36-year-old Graham was thought to be done for the season after he was injured in a 24 Noember game against the Los Angeles Rams.
What a difference a week has made for Fabian Hürzeler. There were plenty of Brighton supporters who would have justifiably viewed this fixture with some trepidation given their abject performance in the record 7-0 Premier League defeat at Nottingham Forest. But despite falling behind to a dreadful error from Bart Verbruggen when he spilled Cole Palmer’s cross into his own net after just five minutes, a rousing comeback inspired by Georginio Rutter, their record signing, made it a night to remember against opponents that are not the most popular in these parts given recent history between the two clubs.
There were wild celebrations when Kaoru Mitoma – who was the subject of a £61m bid from Al-Nassr during the transfer window – put Brighton ahead midway through the second half after Rutter had equalised with a clever header, with Hürzeler enjoying his moment of redemption as his side recorded their first win here since beating Manchester City at the start of November.
I met Hugh in 2012 during my summer of fun – when nothing serious was meant to happen. I was 23 and had just finished my literature degree in England. I had returned home to Melbourne for three months to apply for the work visa I needed to start my first grown-up job in London.
I’d been a student journalist so thought I’d keep myself busy with some writing. I was asked by a local lifestyle publication to write an article on the best dumplings in Melbourne. The only problem was I hadn’t lived in Melbourne for five years – and had never eaten dumplings.
Cooney suffered intracranial haemorrhage at Ulster Hall
‘He was a much loved son, brother and partner’
The Irish boxer John Cooney has died, his promoter Mark Dunlop has announced, a week after he was injured in a fight in Belfast.
A statement on Monday said that the 28-year-old was in intensive care following his defeat to the Welshman Nathan Howells at the Ulster Hall last Saturday. The bout was stopped in the ninth round and Cooney had subsequently undergone surgery after it was discovered he had an intracranial haemorrhage. The bout was his first defence of the Celtic super-featherweight title.
Shootouts are the least bad way the game has found to settle drawn matches, but they should be a last resort
So Uefa is considering doing away with extra time, at least in the knockout stage of the Champions League, another grand old tradition swept away as the arc of history bends towards the generation of revenue for the already wealthy. This is the way of the world and so it is the way of football, all that is great and glorious about the game desecrated to produce more content to be sold.
But first, a caveat, an increasingly necessary one as middle age hurtles by. Is this about age? Are our responses to extra time conditioned by our formative years? My first FA Cup final was 1982, a drab game enlivened by Glenn Hoddle putting Tottenham ahead after 110 minutes and Terry Fenwick heading an equaliser five minutes later (Spurs then won the replay). The Schumacher-Battiston World Cup semi-final in Seville came six weeks later: at 90 minutes it was 1-1, by the 98th minute it was 3-1 to France and by the end it was 3-3 and West Germany had won on penalties. The following year’s FA Cup final also went to extra time as Manchester United drew with Brighton; although there were no goals in the added 30 minutes, there was the drama of Gordon Smith’s late miss.
Whether it’s infertility, to save a career or pure altruism, is there ever a reason that can morally justify surrogacy?
An online row last week underlines something we all know but which many prefer to ignore. There is something not right about surrogacy. The furore started with an Instagram post by Lily Collins: a picture of her new daughter, Tove, in a little basket, under which the Emily in Paris actor expressed “endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate”. Reaction split along predictable lines – those in favour of surrogacy, and those against.
What was striking was that it also split along another fissure: Collins’s possible motives. It was OK, some felt, to use a surrogate if you have infertility problems. But not in order to keep your figure, help your career, or because pregnancy is taxing and you are rich enough to outsource it.
There is a talent pool of brilliant people who should be invited to study here, to work in our hospitals, construction sites and research labs
Move fast and break things was Mark Zuckerberg’s guiding principle and for many years Facebook’s motto. In the process of dispensing junk food for the mind, his company and others broke the back of institutions, industries and regulations around the world.
Now Donald Trump is demonstrating what happens when this motto becomes the guiding principle of the most powerful office in the world. As old rules are trashed, norms disregarded, scores settled, jobs lost, funding stopped, allies goaded and deals made. No one can know for sure what will happen next.
Stephen Ma has every right to claim bragging rights for helping to hatch the world’s most popular online mapping platform. Instead, for the past two decades Ma, one of the four co-founders of Google Maps, has buried himself in a big black hole of anonymity. But not because of any shame or regret – it’s just that he isn’t one to blow his own trumpet.
“I tend to be a very private person,” Ma says in a rare interview. “I find the limelight uncomfortable.”
England roar back in thrilling clash at Allianz Stadium
Another Saturday night at the movies with a stunningly different conclusion. England have been involved in a few thrillers in recent times but this one could not have had a more dramatic plot twist. The collective roar which greeted the decisive 79th-minute try by the replacement Elliot Daly, bursting unstoppably on to a short ball from his young fly-half Fin Smith, must almost have rattled the windows in Calais.
Previously it had seemed England were about to lose another tight game when France’s precocious winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey went over for his second try six minutes from time. With barely 90 seconds left, though, England had one last chance and, in a set strike move off a lineout, Smith and Daly combined to clinch a result that transforms their team’s Six Nations prospects.
Release of three Israeli hostages and 183 Palestinian prisoners comes as next phase of ceasefire set to begin
Israel and Hamas completed their fifth hostage-prisoner swap under a fragile Gaza ceasefire deal, with the frail, disoriented appearance of the three freed Israelis sparking dismay among their relatives.
Out of the 183 inmates released by Israel in return, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club advocacy group said seven required hospitalisation, decrying “brutality” and mistreatment in jail.
Natalia Arroyo enjoys her first win as head coach with a 3-2 victory over Brighton and feels their fortunes are looking up
While the new Aston Villa head coach Natalia Arroyo’s days working as a football journalist for the Catalan daily newspaper Ara are well behind her, she clearly still knows what runs through a sports writer’s mind, as she reflected on her side’s 3-2 victory over Brighton: “It wasn’t that difficult for the journalists, probably. It’s always more difficult when somebody scores in the last minute, those are the craziest ones to write!”
Indeed, thanks to Villa taking a 3-1 lead inside 55 minutes, this five-goal thriller of a Women’s FA Cup tie did not present late drama but it was no less significant, as it delivered the Spanish coach her first victory in charge of Villa in her second game, and could provide her team with a platform to build on for the remainder of the season.
Trump’s attendance at the Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans stands to offer more evidence that the sporting climate has shifted from resistance to acceptance
As a 2016 presidential candidate and White House occupant, Donald Trump lambasted NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem in protest at civil rights abuses. Now, set to become the first incumbent president to attend a Super Bowl, it appears that the US’s most popular sport is genuflecting before him.
Trump will reportedly attend the clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in New Orleans as a guest of Gayle Benson, the owner of the New Orleans Saints. A pre-recorded interview conducted by a Fox News anchor will also air during the pre-game show of an event that last year was viewed by more than 123m Americans. And while he watches the action, Trump will not have to stare at a message inspired by the kind of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies that he is intent on bulldozing.
Demonstrators at the proposed site included Hongkongers who fear it could be used to illegally detain dissenters
Large crowds gathered outside the proposed site of a new Chinese “mega-embassy” in London on Saturday, as politicians and protesters expressed concerns it could be used to “control” dissidents.
More than 1,000 people congregated outside the Royal Mint Court, the former headquarters of the UK’s coin maker, near the Tower of London. The site could soon be turned into a Chinese embassy.
Gambling companies are covertly tracking visitors to their websites and sending their data to Facebook’s parent company without consent in an apparent breach of data protection laws.
The information is then being used by Facebook’s owner, Meta, to profile people as gamblers and flood them with ads for casinos and betting sites, the Observer can reveal. A hidden tracking tool embedded in dozens of UK gambling websites has been extracting visitors’ data – including details of the webpages they view and the buttons they click – and sharing it with the social media company.
Would be chancellor Friederich Merz breaks post-war convention of no political deals with far right
On a foggy, frigid morning in Saxony, far-right MP René Bochmann could not believe his party’s luck in the final days of the German election campaign, with all eyes on Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
Since conservative frontrunner Friedrich Merz signalled a taboo-breaking openness to AfD support for his hardline course on border policy, voters visiting Bochmann’s information stands in small towns such as Schkeuditz have had one issue at the front of their minds: immigration.
Inquiry uncovered health problems in neighborhood near Monterrey-area plant that processes US hazardous waste
Mexican environmental regulators say they have discovered 30,000 tons of improperly stored material with “hazardous characteristics” in the yard of a Mexican plant that is recycling toxic waste shipped from the US.
The authorities ordered “urgent measures” to get the materials into proper storage as part of inspections they are conducting in response to an investigation from the Guardian and Quinto Elemento Lab, which raised questions about contamination around the plant, located in the Monterrey metro area.
The author and journalist on ‘modern London corruption’ and his Orwell prize-shortlisted novel Caledonian Road, how he helped Jonathan Franzen and the last book he gave as a gift
Journalist, novelist and cafe owner Andrew O’Hagan, 56, grew up in Ayrshire and lives in London, the setting for his most recent book, Caledonian Road, now out in paperback. Shortlisted for last year’s Orwell prize for political fiction, it follows 60 characters over 650 pages and has been praised as an “extremely readable how-we-live-now novel” (Margaret Drabble) that “captures London in all its messy, multicultural glory” (Yotam Ottolenghi) and “instantly feels like a box set waiting to happen” (the Standard).
Tell us how Caledonian Road came about.
I was writing a lot of big stories for the London Review of Books – working with Julian Assange [on a memoir that Assange disavowed, an experience O’Hagan reported on], with another guy who claimed to have invented bitcoin, with people who were reinventing themselves on the net – and a lot of that reporting came together in the character of Campbell Flynn, a kind of falling man at the centre of modern London corruption. I got some insight into the British aristocracy’s relationship with dirty Russian money, and following that money led to street gangs, migrant traffickers, fashion brands and high-street businessmen. In my head, a kind of Dickens and Zola energy was pulsing. The research became huge: I was at the polo in Windsor one minute, with the queen attending, or with rap gangs or inside Leicester sweatshop factories the next. I was sort of amazed at the real-life connections and wanted to give inner life to them.
Let’s see if AI can take the faff – the actual writing bit – out of penning a Shakespearean thriller with a Scottish villain
The monsters of artificial intelligence are coming for you. They will cast you out on the street like a Dickensian mill owner and laugh as they do it – at least they will if you work in any sort of creative industry. We’re told this again and again, and the warnings might be right – America’s Authors Guild has even just announced plans for a trust mark to be stuck on book covers to show that the book was written by a human.
Well, I’m going to turn the tables. My publisher is anxiously waiting for me to finish my new novel, a sequel to my previous thriller The Turnglass. So let’s see if AI can take the faff – the actual writing bit – out of creative writing.

Yorgen Fenech, the heir to a casino and hotels group, was arrested and charged with complicity to kill Caruana Galizia in November 2019. However, delays in bringing the case before a jury have allowed his lawyers to successfully argue for bail.
New book reveals that Pacific islands inhabitants helped European scientists identify hundreds of plant species
In 1769, nearly nine months after setting sail with Capt James Cook on his first voyage to the Pacific, Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander disembarked from HMS Endeavour and made history as the first European botanists to explore the island of Tahiti.
Once on land, they faced a mammoth task: how to describe and name, for the benefit of other European naturalists, the hundreds of plants they were encountering for the first time.
Competing interests and rivalries between regional powers threaten hopes of change after the fall of Bashar al-Assad
Previously undisclosed Pentagon plans for withdrawing 2,000 US troops from eastern Syria received scant attention last week, overshadowed by Donald Trump’s surreal Gaza pantomime. The troops help local Syrian Kurdish forces contain the residual threat posed by Islamic State jihadists, 9,000 of whom are held in prison camps. If the US leaves, the fear is of a mass breakout and, over time, a reviving IS terrorist threat to Europe, Britain and the west.
The mooted American pullout is one piece in a complex Syrian jigsaw puzzle that is challenging friends and foes alike following December’s toppling of Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship. Unlike Trump, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states – competing for influence – want to get more involved in Syria, not less. Europe wants a stable, democratic state to which refugees can safely return. Israel, aggressively paranoid, sees only potential threats, while vanquished Russia and Iran seek to regain a foothold.

On 10 January, as fires raged across Los Angeles, local portrait artist Asher Bingham made an offer via an Instagram reel: “ To anyone that has lost a home in the #LAfires I will draw [it] for free.” She had already drawn the house of a close friend that had burned down; by offering her services more widely, she hoped to help others grieve for what they’d lost. She wasn’t prepared for the response. So many people sent in photos – 1,300 and counting – that she had to recruit volunteers to keep up with demand. For Bingham, it’s all about the small details: wind chimes, potted plants. “Anywhere I can see people put love into their home, I draw it,” she says. “I’m trying to recreate a memory that only lives in their minds of the beautiful time they lived there.”
Kerr’s mother, Dawn Searle, and her partner Andrew were found dead at their rural home in south-west France on Thursday
A former Hollyoaks actor has said he is “grieving the tragic loss” of his mother after she was found dead alongside her husband in France.
The bodies of Andrew Searle, a retired fraud investigator, and his wife, Dawn, a project manager, were discovered at about 12.30pm on Thursday at their home in the village of Les Pesquiès, south of Villefranche-de-Rouergue. The couple had moved to south-west France from Scotland about 10 years ago.
The Centenary Building in Salford was described as ‘dynamic and sophisticated’ when it won the first Stirling prize. Now it is to be knocked down as part of a huge development
When judges awarded Salford’s Centenary Building the inaugural Stirling prize in 1996, they declared it “a dynamic, modern and sophisticated exercise in steel, glass and concrete”.
The recognition as Britain’s best new building from the Royal Institute of British Architects cemented Salford as an emblem of emerging northern architecture.
Senescent cells power the body’s ageing process, and scientists are developing treatments to annihilate them
At St Jude children’s research hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, an unusual clinical trial is under way that, if successful, could have wider ramifications for the vast field of age-related chronic diseases. At first glance, childhood cancer survivors may seem like an unusual population in which to study ageing, but as Greg Armstrong, principal investigator of St Jude’s Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study, explains, we now know they represent a group of individuals who are ageing unusually quickly.
For while modern chemotherapies and radiotherapies have become increasingly efficient at curing childhood cancers, this comes at a great cost, owing to the corrosive impact of such treatment on these children’s bodies, something that becomes more apparent when they reach middle age.
(Leiter) The Berlin-based threesome’s groove-heavy debut is all too short
There is much more to Berlin than techno. Over the past five years, the German capital has seen a thriving jazz scene flourish in its clubs, spanning the soulful vocals of Douniah, the sweeping compositions of Zacharias S Falkenberg and the electronic productions of Abasé. Leading the pack is keyboardist Moses Yoofee and his groove-forward trio, who have garnered a European following thanks to their intricate and often explosive live shows, which draw on everything from Robert Glasper-style hip-hop fusion to lightning-speed drum breaks and modal melody.
On the 13 tracks of their debut album, the do not disappoint. Drummer Noah Fürbringer fires on all cylinders, driving a heavy groove on the synth-focused Push and playing in frenetic double time on Bond, while bassist Roman Klobe-Barangă provides a steady foundation, peaking on the thundering distortions of Deep, and Yoofee manages to find pockets of soulful melody throughout. The group present a remarkably confident sound, but with most tracks running at under three minutes, MYT can feel too tightly wound and brief. You’re left longing for the trio to cut loose and push the boundaries of their evident skill.
