Manchester United v Athletic Club: Europa League semi-final, second leg – live

Taking a closer look at that United team, I’m not surprised it’s unchanged. They might’ve played Luke Shaw at left-centre-back and sent Yoro over to the right – that’s probably a better option than the one they’ve gone for, in Victor Lindelof – but Amorim is, as you would, easing Shaw back in slowly. If they make the final he’s still fit, having played the games in between, the manager has a decision to make.

Solution to get food and aid to Gaza is ‘steps away’, US state department says – live

Gaza is on the brink of catastrophe after two months of a total blockade by Israel, aid workers say, with many families down to one meal a day

The winners and losers of Trump’s first tariff war strongly suggest that bankruptcies and farm consolidation could surge during his second term, with major corporations best placed to benefit from his polices at the expense of independent farmers.

New analysis by the non-profit research advocacy group Food and Water Watch (FWW), shared exclusively with the Guardian, shows that Trump’s first-term tariffs were particularly devastating for farmers in the Maga rural heartlands.

Bodø/Glimt v Tottenham Hotspur: Europa League semi-final, second leg – live

1 min: Bodo nearly gift Spurs a chance within the first ten seconds, a loose ball across the back, but Gundersen block-tackles Johnson, who was hoping to bust clear down the inside-right channel. The hosts breathe again.

Pennants are swapped, coins tossed, hands clasped … and Bodø, 3-1 down after the first leg, get the ball rolling.

Share your views on Pope Leo XIV

We’d like to hear your thoughts about the first clergyman from America to lead the Roman Catholic church

Robert Francis Prevost, from Chicago, has become the first American pope to lead the Roman Catholic church.

The 69-year-old has taken the papal name Pope Leo XIV, a senior cardinal announced from the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica on Thursday evening. The announcement, which followed white smoke billowing from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel, prompted raucous celebration among the 50,000 pilgrims and tourists in St Peter’s Square.

Historically, some of the conclaves were really drawn out: in 13th century, they needed three years, over 1,000 days, to choose Gregory X.

There was also one that ended on the first day, when Julius II in 1503 was elected after just 10 hours.

Robert Francis Prevost: the moderate, good humoured first American pope

Colleagues recall a calm and grounded leader capable of moderating between factions, with a strong connection to his predecessor

Robert Francis Prevost – who has chosen the papal name Leo XIV – may not be the Latin American Jesuit wildcard that his predecessor, Pope Francis, was, but his election is similarly historic.

In the figure of the 69-year-old former head of the Augustinian order, the Roman Catholic church has its very first US leader. Until Thursday evening, the idea of the fisherman’s ring being slipped on to a North American hand was seen as a fairly distant possibility. The Vatican’s long-standing opposition to a US pope stemmed largely from the optics of having a pontiff from both a political superpower and a country with such a hegemonic cultural and secular global influence.

Jerce Barrios told his family he might be transferred from a California detention center – no one’s heard from him since

The last time Joregelis Barrios heard from her brother Jerce, the call had lasted just one minute.

Immigration officials had moved Jerce from the detention center in southern California where he had been for six months to another one in Texas. He sounded worried, as if he had been crying. He told his sister he might be transferred somewhere else soon.
