Fresh hostilities in Gulf suggest US-Iran memorandum was too broadly worded

Document appears to have been subject to conflicting interpretations on key issues of Lebanon ceasefire and strait of Hormuz

• Middle East crisis live – latest updates

The sudden eruption of fresh hostilities in the Gulf – just 10 days after Iran and the US signed a memorandum of understanding to end the conflict – threatens to put the two countries back on the path to war.

It appears the deliberately opaque wording in the memorandum has been unable to withstand the pressure of conflicting interpretations, and as a result supporters of the deal inside Tehran are on the back foot. Statements to the effect that Iran’s government should never have agreed to reopen the strait of Hormuz are proliferating – and not just among the country’s hardliners.

George Russell holds off Max Verstappen to win Austrian F1 Grand Prix for Mercedes

• Kimi Antonelli claims third behind Red Bull’s Verstappen

• Russell overtakes Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton in standings

George Russell won the Austrian Grand Prix after a tense and gripping battle with what was a resurgent Red Bull in the hands of Max Verstappen. Russell held his nerve to ground out the victory even as the Dutchman charged at him in the final laps at the Red Bull Ring to take a win the British driver sorely wanted.

His Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli was in third, having harried Verstappen to the flag with the top three separated by just two-seconds at the end. However, Ferrari’s expected challenge failed to materialise, their car’s struggling for grip and pace in Austria, with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finishing fifth and eighth. Oscar Piastri was fourth for McLaren with his teammate Lando Norris in seventh, while Isack Hadjar took sixth for Red Bull.

Kindness of strangers: We were hopelessly lost in the Sudanese desert. Then villagers offered us a hut to stay in

We were exhausted and in need of rest. In the morning, the kind locals prepared a huge breakfast and refused to accept any payment

• Read more in the kindness of strangers series

Sudan in the 1980s was relatively quiet. In 1987 I was based there, working for aid agency Care in the final years before Omar al-Bashir seized power.

One day I was returning from the city of El Obeid to the capital, Khartoum. After two weeks of dust and extreme heat we were thankful to be travelling overland across the desert at night, when it would be cooler. There were no tarmac roads, just dusty tracks. Two colleagues, our driver and I left at sundown for what should have been a six or seven-hour drive.

AI claims to have the answers to life’s big questions. But sometimes not knowing brings us closer to the truth | Amy Galliford

ChatGPT relieves me of my discomfort, but in doing so it robs me of contemplation, of the holy ground between question and answer

• Making sense of it is a column about spirituality and how it can be used to navigate everyday life

As a person of faith raised in a religious household, I have a fairly clear picture of what prayer means to me. Prayer is the practice by which I draw closer to God, petition for my needs and desires, request guidance and ask forgiveness.

The deal has always been that in times of trouble I cast my anxieties and questions and emerge with either some answers or some sustaining sense of peace. Take it to the Lord in prayer, the song goes.
