Chelsea and England defender on the power of football, the pitch named after her and a new reality for fan interactions“When you experience the things we have in the women’s game, it does open your eyes to the struggles of others,” says Millie Bright. “It does make you more aware of all kinds of different barriers people might face.

29 h. ago I’ve never liked nail strengthener, but this one actually works | Sali Hughes on beauty

OPI’s new serum claims to repair your broken bonds, and I’ve seen an undeniable reduction in breakageIn January, I decided to take a break from gel nails, partly to test alternatives for a future column. It’s no exaggeration to say that over the next month at least one nail broke every single day. My long, strong natural nails owed everything to builder gel, it turned out, and on their own were as weak as street party lemon squash. Whether this is the effect of hormonal changes or years under the UV lamp, my nails have been withered by time, and before I could even look for gel alternatives I needed to find a fix.I should say that my frustrations with nail-strengthening products are numerous and, ultimately, inhibit regular use – which is essential for results. I don’t see the logic in products that dry hard, to be layered one coat atop another, forming a thick, lacquered carapace. How are the upper layers of such products reaching the nail itself and having...

England were misfiring in Mexico but, as Chris Evans recalls in his biography of the striker, one match can change everything for a team and its starThe browbeaten striker looked forlornly to the floor, the whistles of derision ringing in his ears. The stadium may only have been partially full of travelling England fans but the seething frustration was unmistakable as their emotion poured on to the pitch.Lining the sparse terraces draped in union flags, the ragtag collection of supporters – many of them shirtless – got as close to the pitch as possible to spew their thoughts at their own players.

7 d. ago I spoke to children in Gaza this week and here’s what they told me: they just want to live | Shaima Al

As war resumes, so does the death sentence for Gaza’s children. The UK must not be an ally to further atrocitiesShaima Al-Obaidi is a senior media manager at Save the Children UKWhen I was woken up in the middle of the night on Tuesday by the roar of airstrikes and blaring ambulance sirens, I quickly realised that, once again, Israeli forces were unleashing hell on Gaza. It was a night of terror, but one that is all too familiar for Gaza’s children and families after 16 months of war. A reported 174 children were killed – one of the largest child death tolls in a single day.Events have escalated rapidly since then. The attacks persist, and Gaza is once again divided. The Israeli military has imposed restrictions, blocking access to northern Gaza from the south. More than 50 of my colleagues in the north now confront the choice of staying to face tanks and bullets or leaving their homes with barely a moment to process their losses.Shaima Al-Obaidi is a senior media manager at Save th...
