The death of Sir Julius Chan, one of the founding fathers of Papua New Guinea’s independence in 1975, marks the end of an era.

Lucy Palmer, a former foreign correspondent in PNG, was the researcher and writer for Playing the Game: Life and Politics in Papua New Guinea, by Sir Julius Chan, published by the University of Queensland Press in 2016

• McIlroy highlights include eagle on par-five 14th
• Ireland’s Shane Lowry secures second on his own

Rory McIlroy claimed the 27th PGA Tour title of his career with an impressive victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. McIlroy made an eagle and five birdies in a superb final round of 66 to finish 21 under par, a shot outside the tournament record set by Brandt Snedeker in 2015.

Playing partner Shane Lowry birdied the 18th to secure outright second on 19 under, with Justin Rose making an eagle on the same hole to share third place with American Lucas Glover. “Some people would argue the golf courses I have won on are not up to a Pebble Beach or an Augusta, but to win at one of the cathedrals of golf is really, really cool,” McIlroy told CBS.

Arguably the greatest act of literary vandalism in history becomes masterly TV, as we see Cassandra Austen destroy thousands of her sister Jane’s letters following her death – out of love

This year is the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Janeites rejoice (in suitably restrained and quietly sardonic fashion)! Brontë devotees – I suppose you had better go for a long walk across a large moor until it is one of your lot’s time to shine again.

Until then, it is all things Austen. Expect genteel celebrations from Bath to Hampshire and screen and print schedules stuffed with tributes to, dramas inspired by and features about the great woman and her works for the next 12 glorious months. First off the televisual blocks is Miss Austen, an adaptation of Gill Hornby’s book of the same name, which tells the story of the just-beginning-to-be-famed Regency novelist through the eyes of the beloved sister who long survived her, Cassandra – played by Keeley Hawes with her customary controlled, unshowy magnificence.

PM wants to ‘see all allies stepping up’, saying Donald Trump’s threat of sanctions has rattled Vladimir Putin

Keir Starmer has called on European leaders to put more economic pressure on Russia, saying Donald Trump’s threat of sanctions has left Vladimir Putin “rattled”.

Before a meeting in Brussels on Monday, the prime minister said it was necessary to “see all allies stepping up – particularly in Europe” when it comes to inflicting economic harm on Russia, and argued it would help bring about peace by ending the Ukraine war sooner.

After standoff, Doge members gained control over access system, letting them to lock out workers and read emails

USAid has put two senior security officials on administrative leave after a tense standoff with members of Elon Musk’s department of government efficiency (Doge) seeking access to sensitive data from the agency, five current and former USAid officials have told the Guardian.

USAid director of security John Voorhees and a deputy have been put on administrative leave after they blocked efforts by Doge members to physically access restricted areas, the people said. The demands led to a tense standoff during which a senior deputy to Musk threatened to call the US marshals in to grant access to the building.

• Canadian NHL fans also booed Star-Spangled Banner
• Applause breaks out during Canadian national anthem

Fans at a Toronto Raptors game on Sunday continued an emerging trend of booing the American national anthem at sporting events in Canada.

Fans of the NBA’s lone Canadian franchise booed the US anthem before the Raptors’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Scotiabank Arena in downtown Toronto. Similar reactions broke out on Saturday night at NHL games in Ottawa and Calgary, where the Senators and Flames faced the Minnesota Wild and Detroit Red Wings respectively. Those games came hours after Donald Trump made his threat of import tariffs on Canada a reality.

• Rodgers’ side stay 10 points clear after win at Motherwell
• Hagi strikes twice to round off positive week for Rangers

The Celtic manager, Brendan Rodgers, backed Jota to be an even bigger success second time round after the Portuguese winger marked his “emotional” return with a goal in a 3-1 win at Motherwell.

The 65th-minute substitute appeared to be in tears shortly after converting a pass from Daizen Maeda to round off the Scottish Premiership victory in the closing seconds and celebrating in front of the visiting fans.

Young full-back supplied plenty of magic moments against Manchester City but his goal celebration was the pinnacle

The best moment of this fun, boisterous, increasingly hallucinogenic afternoon for Arsenal’s supporters came with the game still in the balance, and with Manchester City yet to collapse like an inadequately constructed French meringue. It came, of course, from the prodigiously talented Myles Lewis‑Skelly. Although it wasn’t perhaps the obvious one.

With 62 minutes gone at the Emirates Stadium, Lewis‑Skelly took a sharp pass from Declan Rice and twirled inside with an easy kind of grace, one of those players who just seems to have that naturally intimate relationship with the ball.

Both teams knew this was a win or bust moment for their already fading title hopes and, in that spirit, they served up a breathless seven-goal thriller. It was the visitors, Arsenal, who came out on top to surely confine the remainder of Manchester City’s Women’s Super League campaign to merely a battle for European qualification.

City’s fourth defeat in their past six WSL games was another engrossing but mistake filled match that will be hugely damaging for their hopes of domestic success. On the overall share of the chances, Arsenal probably deserved to edge an end-to-end contest.

Schools shut as precautionary measure and people told to avoid shoreline after hundreds of seismic tremors

Greek authorities have dispatched special forces, rescue teams, tents and drones to the island of Santorini after hundreds of seismic tremors were recorded in the area.

Amid fears of a bigger earthquake that could cause a tsunami, people were advised to avoid the shoreline and derelict buildings, to empty swimming pools and to refrain from gathering in large numbers in enclosed spaces. The civil protection ministry said schools would be shut as a precautionary measure on Monday.

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has held talks in Panama with its president, José Raúl Mulino, as protesters marched in opposition to Donald Trump’s demand for ownership of the Panama canal to be returned to the US.

The US’s top diplomat told Mulino in the talks that the US president has determined China’s influence threatens the Panama canal and that immediate changes were needed or the US would act.

Large explosions could be seen in the northern occupied West Bank as Israel destroyed buildings in the Jenin refugee camp. The IDF, which had reportedly placed explosives in the structures, said it was destroying 'terrorist infrastructure'. This is the latest escalation in an IDF assault on the Jenin camp that was launched on 21 January. The UN has expressed concern that the ceasefire in Gaza could be endangered by Israel’s tactics in the West Bank, which have involved what the UN human rights spokesperson labelled 'unnecessary or disproportionate use of force'

Move comes as one-two punch for group already reeling from last week’s decision to rescind 18-month extension

The Trump administration has stepped up its attack on Venezuelans living in the US under temporary deportation protections, revoking the right to stay of more than 300,000 people.

The move, first reported by the New York Times, comes as a one-two punch for Venezuelans who were already reeling from last week’s decision to rescind an 18-month extension of temporary protected status (TPS) that had been introduced in the final days of the out-going Biden administration. Reversing the extension was a blow that affected more than 600,000 Venezuelans living in the US.

Political leaders clash over Trump linking diversity, equity and inclusion practices with collision that killed 67 people

US political leaders clashed on Sunday over Donald Trump’s controversial comments on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs following last week’s aircraft collision over the Potomac river in Washington DC.

“The president weighing in while bodies were still being recovered, blaming this on DEI, and, when pressed, he has no evidence to suggest it, was absolutely stomach-turning,” Virginia senator Tim Kaine told CNN’s State of the Union.

• Villa could buy forward in summer for £40m
• Ruben Amorim not worried if Rashford scores regularly

Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Aston Villa was confirmed by Manchester United late on Sunday evening, with the club wishing him “good luck for the rest of the season”.

The forward’s departure comes after Ruben Amorim refused to play him since mid-December due to “training reasons”. In a statement United said: “Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the 2024-25 season. Everyone at Manchester United wishes Marcus good luck for the rest of the season.”

Possible security pact overshadowed by need to settle EU-UK dispute over fishing rights

Keir Starmer’s hopes for a defence and security pact risk being stalled over fishing rights, as he heads to Brussels for the first post-Brexit meeting of its kind on Monday.

The prime minister has been invited to join the EU’s 27 heads of state and government for dinner in Brussels to discuss EU-UK defence, a subject that has gained urgency following Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Epic drama takes top prize, Ralph Fiennes and Marianne Jean-Baptiste win best actors and RaMell Ross best director

The Brutalist, Brady Corbet’s three-and-a-half-hour drama about the treatment of a brilliant Hungarian postmodern architect in the US after the second world war, has taken best picture at the London Critics’ Circle awards.

The film, which stars Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce, missed out on other prizes, however, with best director going to RaMell Ross for his much-acclaimed but little seen Colson Whitehead adaptation Nickel Boys, which also won the technical achievement prize for Jomo Fray’s cinematography.

Fears grow for global trade, with major indices likely to plunge as US trading partners quickly retaliate, raising chance China and EU will follow suit

• Canada and Mexico hit back after Trump signs order for tariffs
• Economic news updates – US politics live

Investors are bracing for stock market falls after Canada and Mexico hit back against trade tariffs imposed by Donald Trump this weekend.

Trading on the brokerage IG’s weekend markets indicated shares were likely to fall on Monday after the US president signed an order on Saturday to bring in sweeping tariffs this week, a move that could prompt a trade war with some of the country’s largest trading partners.

There were plainly scores to settle from the previous meeting, a desire for one-upmanship in an ­increasingly fractious rivalry and how ­Arsenal ­settled them. The moment of the match was provided by Myles Lewis‑Skelly; the image of it, too.

When the precociously talented 18-year-old scored with a curling shot for 3-1, crowning a driving performance, he sank into a meditative yoga pose that had previously been the copyright of Erling Haaland. What a way to score and celebrate your first senior goal.

Angry rallies in Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Leipzig and Munich accuse Friedrich Merz of cooperating with AfD

Tens of thousands of people marched in Germany on Sunday to protest against the decision by the centre-right leader – and frontrunner in a looming election – to send to parliament proposals for tough migration rules that received the backing of a far-right party.

Angry protesters in Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Leipzig and Munich said that Friedrich Merz and his Christian Democrats (CDU) broke Germany’s unwritten post-Nazi promise by all democratic parties to never pass any rule or resolution in parliament with the support of far-right, nationalist parties such as Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).
