‘Life isn’t perfect’: Knight happy to bow out with Lord’s Test despite loss to India

• Only Test: India, 285 & 341-7dec, bt England, 170 & 186, by 270 runs

• Ecclestone hits milestone half-century on final morning

India defeated England by 270 runs in the one-off Test here, a famous victory that will go some way to making up for their failure to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup this month. The first women’s Test to take place at the ground broke the world record attendance figure, attracting a crowd of 37,846 across three-and-a-bit days.

England batted for long enough on the fourth morning to allow Sophie Ecclestone to reach her first half-century in an England shirt.

‘I just knew it would sound incredible!’: why the Globe is giving Shakespeare some flamenco fire

Love’s Labour’s Lost offers a heady mix of passion and death – which makes the Spanish art form a perfect match, says director Indiana Lown-Collins. Our writer joins the theatre’s flamenco bootcamp

On a heatwave day in London, Shakespeare’s Globe has turned into a fiesta. Hard-heeled boots strike the wooden boards with rat-a-tat rhythm, skirts swish, a guitar strums, voices rise along with the temperature. Perched in front of the stage is director Indiana Lown-Collins, who is zhooshing up one of Shakespeare’s wordiest plays with a hot flourish of flamenco.

Lown-Collins is half-Spanish and grew up in Spain where flamenco was her way into the arts. Working as resident associate director at the Globe a few years ago, she fell in love with the building and its acoustics and couldn’t stop thinking how well flamenco would work on its oak stage, ringing around the circular space. “I just knew it would sound incredible,” she says.

Ucrânia e outros 9 países anunciam coalizão para proteger a Europa contra mísseis balísticos

Emmanuel Macron e Volodymyr Zelensky durante encontro em Paris nesta segunda-feira (13). Reuters/Tom Nicholson A Ucrânia e outros nove países anunciaram nesta segunda-feira (13) uma coalizão para proteger a Europa de mísseis balísticos. O território ucraniano tem sido alvo de diversos ataques russos, que deixaram dezenas de mortos nas últimas duas semanas. ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp Ucrânia poderá fabricar arma-chave para sua defesa aérea Em comunicado, a coalizão afirmou que o objetivo é "construir uma capacidade de defesa compartilhada contra mísseis balísticos para a Europa". Esses mísseis são mais difíceis de interceptar do que os mísseis de cruzeiro ou drones. “Acreditamos que proteger a Europa exige uma solução abrangente, sob a forma de uma arquitetura integrada de defesa antimísseis, para dissuadir e neutralizar futuras ameaças de mísseis”, afirmou o comunicado. “Reconhecemos a experiência única da Ucrânia, adquirida através da sua defesa contra a guerra de agressão movida pela Rússia.” Veja os países participantes da coalizão: Dinamarca; França; Alemanha; Itália; Holanda; Noruega; Espanha; Suécia; Reino Unido; e Ucrânia. O comunicado não apresentou um cronograma para a criação do sistema de defesa e informou que o plano continua aberto a outros países. Rússia lança nova onda de mísseis e drones contra Kiev Sistema de defesa Patriot Dados da Força Aérea da Ucrânia mostraram o país enfrenta uma grave escassez desses interceptadores e, por isso não conseguiu derrubar nenhum dos 23 mísseis balísticos disparados pela Rússia no último dia 6. Na semana passada, durante a cúpula da Otan, o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, anunciou que pretende conceder à Ucrânia uma licença para produzir de forma independente mísseis para o sistema de defesa aérea Patriot. Esses mísseis são fundamentais para a defesa contra ataques balísticos vindos da Rússia. No entanto, especialistas e autoridades ucranianas alertam que transformar a ideia em realidade provavelmente levaria anos. Mísseis Patriot Editoria de Arte/g1 Putin não dá sinais de recuo O presidente russo, Vladimir Putin, mostrou-se inflexível, prometendo nesta segunda uma retaliação enfática aos recentes ataques de longo alcance de Kiev contra refinarias, petroleiros e terminais, que causaram uma escassez generalizada de combustível no país. “Onde quer que tentem atingir o território russo, responderemos à altura, mas os nossos ataques serão várias vezes mais poderosos”, disse Putin num encontro com ativistas pró-Kremlin.

This supersonic jet needed a radiation meter because it flew twice as high as commercial aircraft

The Concorde jet soared near the edge of space, requiring careful monitoring of radiation levels to ensure passenger safety. In the face of hazardous cosmic storms, pilots were mandated to descend to safer altitudes. While this supersonic aircraft typically flew above the majority of Earth's atmospheric shield, fluctuations in radiation exposure depended on several factors including altitude, geography, and solar activity. During such storms, safety took precedence over speed.

Count Binface represents the Silly Sausage Britain I know and love | Sofie Jenkinson

Mr Blobby, the Liz Truss lettuce, Boaty McBoatface … the Clacton hopeful is part of a rich tradition – and a reminder that it’s laughter that defines us, not hate

Nigel Farage’s pointless byelection in Clacton, in which he will stand against Count Binface, has inadvertently pitted two versions of Britain against one another. In one corner we have those who will argue that we are divided, cynical and jaded, that Britain isn’t what it once was and there is little to celebrate. And in the other corner we have the lovers of nonsense, ready to bind us back together with the unifying force of laughter.

Count Binface symbolises what I like to call Silly Sausage Britain. The Britain that has a laugh and doesn’t take itself too seriously, but is underpinned by self-deprecation, our kindness toward each other and fairness. This is the Britain of comedians such as Victoria Wood and Bob Mortimer, Romesh Ranganathan and Daisy May Cooper, Elis James and Meera Syal. It’s the adverts for Yorkshire Tea, Tango and Irn-Bru and it’s the Liz Truss lettuce. It’s 2p arcade machines and queen of “hun culture” Alison Hammond’s laugh.
