64 h. ago Aston Villa’s Natalia Arroyo: ‘There was probably a little coach inside me when I was playing’

The Spaniard talks about her move to coaching, Barcelona and the injuries that ended her career earlyA 22-year-old Natalia Arroyo stood alone in what she describes as a “sad shower” and gutturally cried. It was the moment she knew her playing career had ended. The Spaniard had lain on the grass shortly beforehand, her anterior cruciate ligament torn again. It was “super emotional”, she says, but she was done.Arroyo, speaking at the expanded training base of an Aston Villa side who last Saturday secured a notable win at Manchester United, joined Barcelona at the age of nine, though at the time there was no real relationship with the main club. She graduated to the B team, captained that side and was one of three 16-year-olds to force their way into the senior set-up. That experience has taught her how to integrate players.

4 d. ago ‘Makes your skin sag and your bones creak’ – Come Dine With Me: Teens is the tedious spin

This is far from the first new version the cooking show’s attempted. But it might just be its most dullIf there is one tried and true formula when it comes to television, it is this: when you run out of ideas, bring the kids in. This formula is why everything from MasterChef to The Great British Bake Off to Taskmaster has, at some point, bitten the bullet and introduced a junior version. And now it’s time for Come Dine With Me to join the gang.Which is probably a bit late, all said. It took five years for MasterChef to bring in a junior version, and just one for Bake Off. Meanwhile, Come Dine With Me is 20. To call it long in the tooth would be a profound disservice to long teeth. Continue reading...

7 d. ago Meera Sodha’s recipe for Massaman tofu and potato curry with rainbow chard | The new vegan

Cut corners, but not flavour, with this updated take on a hearty, vegan-friendly curryA confession: I have already written a recipe for massaman curry. But since that was published in 2018, I have had a baby, a breakdown, travelled back to Thailand and eaten more massaman curries, all events that have contributed to this new recipe. The old dish is delicious, but in 2025 I didn’t want to make a paste from scratch. Instead, I wanted the funk and soul that a ready-made curry paste could give me and to use that as a springboard to fly into dinner time. A shortcut on time and ingredients, yes, but not on fun and flavour.Join Meera Sodha at a special event celebrating the best of Guardian culture on Wednesday 26 November, hosted by Nish Kumar and alongside writers Stuart Heritage and Tim Dowling, with Georgina Lawton hosting You Be The Judge live. Live in London or via livestream, book tickets here. Continue reading...

3 w. ago ‘A punch in the face’: Germany’s dash for gas raises questions over climate targets

Plans for a fossil fuel project in Wadden Sea nature reserve have angered local people and campaigners, as political enthusiasm for renewables wanesPeering out on a clear day from the windswept dunes that dapple the north-western tip of Germany, on a gull-shaped island in the Wadden Sea nature reserve, tourists hoping to spot seals may soon see a dark metal platform rise out of the water.The planned structure is one of several fossil fuel projects that Germany is pushing to build despite a legal deadline to stop polluting the atmosphere with carbon emissions in 20 years’ time. The joint Dutch-German venture, which received the green light from regional authorities last month, seeks to extract 13bn cubic metres of gas from just outside a protected area at the marine border between the two countries.
