14 h. ago Australian Open 2026: Jannik Sinner in action, Boulter v Bencic on day three – live

Live updates from all the action at Melbourne Park Dramatic day two marred by retirements | Email KatyAn inauspicious start from Boulter as she’s broken to 30. The Brit snuck into the main draw after a couple of late retirements but that’s where her luck ended, because she’s been handed a tough assignment against the Swiss, one of the most in-form players, who’s back in world’s top 10 after dropping as low as No 1,213 after the birth of her daughter in 2024. Bencic won all five of her singles matches at United Cup, including a very impressive victory against Iga Swiatek. Bencic backs up the break for 2-0.Jannik Sinner has made his way through the new upgraded tunnel on Rod Laver, which looks like a slightly discombobulating hall of mirrors, and he’s warming up against the French left-hander Hugo Gaston.

36 h. ago Did God fix a football match? Welcome to the great divine intervention debate | Ravi Holy

Vicars, the devout – and some who are desperate – do a lot of praying to get their wishes fulfilled. But it's complicated by lots of dos and don'ts‘I don’t believe in an interventionist God,” sings Nick Cave in the opening line of his 1997 song, Into My Arms. But Jim Sharma, a football fan who is a devotee of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, very much does – and who can blame him?For the detached, the uninformed and nonsports fans, the issue here is that Wolves had a terrible start to the season and, until the other day, looked set to beat Derby County’s unenviable record as the worst-performing team in Premier League history. Then they played my team, West Ham, and had their first taste of victory since April. Wolves 3 West Ham 0.Ravi Holy is the vicar of Wye in Kent and a standup comedian Continue reading...

Trump’s attack on Venezuela suggests expansionism is under way but some argue it is simply standard US foreign policy stripped of hypocrisyThe attack on Venezuela and the seizure of its president was a shocking enough start to 2026, but it was only the next day, when the smoke had dispersed and Donald Trump was flying from Florida to Washington DC in triumph, that it became clear the world had entered a new era.The US president was leaning on a bulkhead on Air Force One, in a charcoal suit and gold tie, regaling reporters with inside details of the abduction of Nicolás Maduro. He claimed his government was “in charge” of Venezuela and that US companies were poised to extract the country’s oil wealth. Continue reading...

2 w. ago How to make the perfect breakfast tacos – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect

Roll up, roll up for the yummiest start to the day with this tantalising TexMex mishmash of refried beans, eggs, potatoes. But just what goes in, and what should be left out?Breakfast tacos should not be confused with tacos eaten for breakfast. Of course, they often are eaten for breakfast, but the stuffed flour tortillas eaten on both sides of the southern US border are quite different from the tacos mañaneros of central and southern Mexico, the rich, corn-based tacos de canasta (“tacos in a basket”) or the smoky beef barbacoa that Monterrey-born Lily Ramirez-Foran recalls being her dad’s favourite Sunday breakfast. Instead, Texas Monthly explains, breakfast tacos “marry the key elements of an American morning – scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes – with the Mexican staples of salsa, cheese, refried beans genius.”Although they’re originally a Mexican creation, according to José R Ralat, the magazine’s taco editor (what a job title!), these $3 treats are now so popular north of the bord...

A booze-free mocktail that uses lemon juice to bring a bright sharpness to the earthy sweetness of beetroot and sumacTraditionally, shrubs are made with vinegar, but for this one we use lemon juice to bring a bright sharpness to the base syrup, because it balances the earthy sweetness of the beetroot and sumac. A 0% gin brings some botanical notes to proceedings, but the syrup also works wonderfully just topped with soda water. You’ll need to start the syrup a day ahead.Connor Wilson, head chef, The Kirkstyle Inn, Slaggyford, Northumberland Continue reading...

He did really well in his one start against Fulham, I was really pleased with him that day and there’ll be other opportunities.The problem for us is with our schedule playing every three, four days, I don’t think he’s in a condition where he could start regularly at the moment.
