In terms of managing our expectations as to when the new Dutch government could be formed, Joost Eerdmans of the right-wing JA21 party – a potential coalition partner in the new administration – has offered a bit of guidance on timing.

Speaking to reporters earlier today, he confirmed the party “can definitely do business” with other parties, but insisted that he would “rather have a stable cabinet in a few months than a messy cabinet before Christmas.”

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are facing a dramatic and disturbing surge in death threats and violent attacks, new statistics from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) show.

The BBC have confirmed that the long-running sci-fi show will return to our screens. But with ratings falling and its Disney partnership ending, questions hang over its future

Sometimes the answer to one mystery only prompts more questions. That may well be the case with this week’s announcement from the BBC that Doctor Who will return to BBC One with a 2026 Christmas special and a new series to follow, but that the show’s international streaming partnership with Disney+ will end.

There was no indication of who might play the Doctor in next year’s special, which will be written by Russell T Davies and produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios.

“My dad was like, ‘You a—holes!’” Jenna Bush Hager said on Wednesday.

By confronting imagined terrors, we rehearse for the real ones, learning that courage, wisdom and empathy are the true charms that keep the darkness at bay

Here is one of my earliest memories: I was around four years old, standing in a playground somewhere in Preston, staring in wonder at three big rocks, each one splattered with red spray paint. I asked my nan about it. She could have told me the truth, that the paint was graffiti.

Instead, she told me the rocks were a species of monster called bloodsuckers, and that at night they came alive to eat children who were foolish enough to stray outside after dark. I believed her with all my heart. Why wouldn’t I? She was my nan!

How do I break up with a man who loves me, is super kind and generous, and provides stability but who leaves me feeling cold and irritated most of the time?

I’m a 36-year-old woman and we’ve been together for four years. During this time his stability has provided me with a base to grow and expand in the most wonderful ways. Now I feel suffocated. He is a wonderful person but has no interest in ever leaving his home town to try something new (I’m an immigrant). His only interests are pubs and football and when we go abroad he wants to spend most of his time in the pub, which infuriates me.

As the band return with their sixth album, Big Whoop, frontman Toby Martin reflects on fatherhood, mortality and their love-hate relationship with their biggest hit

• Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email

Twenty years ago, Youth Group recorded Forever Young, a bittersweet anthem that’s wired as tightly to the hearts of gen X indie kids as a pacemaker. The 1984 original, from German band Alphaville, was a gloriously histrionic ode to cold war anxiety. But in Youth Group’s hands, synths were replaced by mellow guitar and the song was set to footage of kids skateboarding in Sydney in 1978. It was pure sun-dappled nostalgia that shot to No 1 on the Aria charts in 2006 after it was used on The OC.

So how does the band, now middle-aged, regard their biggest hit with the passing of time?

The Irish actor has revealed that energetic birthday celebrations caused problems on the set of Spielberg’s 2002 film

Colin Farrell has said that he once showed up so drunk to a film set he needed almost 50 takes to convincingly get through a line of dialogue, angering co-star Tom Cruise.

Speaking to Stephen Colbert on his late-night talk show, Farrell recalled “one of the worst days” he’d ever experienced on set, both hungover and freshly intoxicated on Steven Spielberg’s 2002 sci-fi drama Minority Report.
