3 h. ago Virgil van Dijk’s header sinks West Ham to edge Liverpool closer to title

When Liverpool fans next congregate at Anfield in two Sundays’ time it should be for an occasion they have craved for 35 years: to celebrate a league title triumph in person. A dramatic late victory over West Ham, secured by Virgil van Dijk’s 89th minute winner, left Arne Slot’s side needing a maximum of six points to claim a record-equalling 20th league championship.The destiny of the Premier League title will be confirmed next Sunday should Arsenal lose at Ipswich and Liverpool win at Leicester. If not, two more wins will make sure for the Anfield club. Leicester and Tottenham come next. They can feel it. Liverpool were second best for much of the second half against Graham Potter’s visitors and indebted to goalkeeper Alisson for delaying an equaliser until a Van Dijk error forced Andy Robertson to concede an own goal in the 86th minute. But the Liverpool captain atoned in style and celebrated a precious winner by kissing the Liver bird on his chest. A new two-year contract to fol...

3 h. ago The kindness of strangers: I was ready to leave the theatre in disgrace when a gentle usher made me an offer

A fight with a friend during the opera’s intermission had left me really hurt, so being cared for in that moment is something I’ll never forgetRead more in the kindness of strangers seriesI knew straight away that something was wrong. I had arranged to go to an opera with a friend. She’s normally a very chatty person, but when I got to our seats, she wasn’t saying anything. I asked her a few questions but she was quite monosyllabic in response.During the intermission, we went out to the balcony. Again, I was trying to talk to her but she just wasn’t looking at me. I asked if she was OK – had I offended her in any way? That’s when she let go on a tirade. She didn’t like a comment I had made at a dinner party a few weeks earlier and told me she’d never invite me to her home again – or come to mine. I was so shocked because she was very angry and said some things that I thought were quite cruel. I had never been spoken to like that by anyone, let alone a friend. To make matters worse p...

3 h. ago ‘I’d love Keanu to read it’: Ione Skye on bisexuality, infidelity and her wild tell

The actor’s aptly named memoir, Say Everything, has been praised as raw, revealing, disarming and hornyIn person, as in her new tell-all memoir, 90s Hollywood “It” girl Ione Skye doesn’t hold back. Whether she’s discussing menopausal hormone treatment (she’s on it), her libido (“It’s not what it was but [musician husband Ben Lee] and I have a really nice sex life”) or her ex Anthony Kiedis’s fondness for dating teenagers (“Why can’t you be with a grown-up?” she sighs), for 54-year-old Skye, there’s no such thing as too much information too early in the morning.Skye’s aptly named memoir, Say Everything, has been praised as raw, revealing, disarming and horny. “I definitely didn’t want to hurt people,” the actor says when we meet over breakfast at a cafe near her Sydney home. It’s just that between recounting her sexcapades with both male and female celebrities – “Writing a sex scene is so funny because I didn’t want it to be cringy, sleazy or too crass,” she laughs – Skye had a lot o...

5 h. ago ‘Memories of these places never leave you’: artist Do Ho Suh and the fabric of home

The internationally renowned South Korean’s diaphanous houses, coming to Tate Modern, embody the emotional imprint of where he has livedWhen Do Ho Suh was a young boy in Seoul in the 1970s, his father decided to build a family home based on a hanok – a traditional Korean timber house with a curved tiled roof. The one he chose as his model stood in the gardens of the imperial palace and had been built for King Sunjo in 1878.“My father was a painter who had modernised Korean art,” says Suh, “but, as the country was rapidly moving towards westernisation, he became obsessed with the idea that he could live like a scholar from an older time. For him, it was a way to preserve certain traditional virtues and practices that were fast disappearing.” Continue reading...

5 h. ago Go to town! The surprise feelgood effects of walking in the city

A stroll around historic buildings, cemeteries and winding back streets can lift your spirits just as effectively as communing with nature, according to author Annabel Streets. Let’s put that to the test When I arrange to meet Annabel Streets, the appropriately named author of a new book, The Walking Cure, I’m presented with a challenge. She wants me to choose a London location I am unfamiliar with, so I can experience her ideas about the upsides of urban landscapes. In the book, Streets contemplates the powerful impact walking can have on our mood, thoughts and emotions, and how this can differ according to where and how we walk. While most people are aware of the benefits of walking in nature, Streets makes the case for urban environments, known as “brown spaces” by developers. Surprisingly, churches, convents and cemeteries, all of which are found in cities, often offer a superabundance of wildlife. A study in one Berlin cemetery found 604 species, 10 of which were rare or endang...
