An email from Spurs fan SF Devereux:

As well as those eight you mentioned (Maddison, Kulusevski, Kudus, van de Ven, Bentancur, Bergvall, Porro and Davies), we’re also without Richarlison, Kevin Danso, Djed Spence and Wilson Odobert. We just need a goalkeeper to go down injured today and we’ll have a pretty competitive, tactically balanced XI missing, with a couple of options available to come off the bench.

After stories revealed high levels of contamination in neighborhood around factory processing US toxic waste, government announces sweeping array of tactics

The Mexican government has announced it will pursue a sweeping array of tactics to combat industrial pollution, from $4.8m in fines against a plant processing US hazardous waste to the rollout of a new industrial air-monitoring system, following investigations by the Guardian and Quinto Elemento Lab, a Mexican investigative unit.

Those stories revealed high levels of heavy-metal contamination in the neighborhood around the factory, Zinc Nacional, in the Monterrey metropolitan area, and showed the broader extent of industrial pollution in the region, linked to Monterrey’s role in manufacturing and recycling goods for the US market.

Employees of Ukraine’s largest private energy firm, DTEK, were travelling about 40 miles from frontline, says police

A Russian drone attack on a bus carrying mine workers in Ukraine’s central-eastern Dnipropetrovsk region has killed at least 12 people, officials said.

The bus was driving about 40 miles (65km) from the frontline, according to police. Images published by Ukraine’s state emergency service showed what appeared to be an empty bus, its side windows shattered and windscreen hanging from the front.

Exclusive: Dr Susan Gilby, who won £1.4bn bullying payout, says whistleblower protections must be strengthened

Patients are being put at risk by NHS bosses launching “sham investigations” into whistleblowers to shut down concerns, a former hospital chief executive who won a £1.4m bullying claim has said.

Dr Susan Gilby took over as chief executive at the Countess of Chester hospital in 2018 after it was rocked by the Lucy Letby case. She was awarded the payout – one of the biggest in NHS history – last month after a tribunal ruled she had been unfairly dismissed after raising concerns about alleged bullying and harassment by the chair of the hospital board.

• ICE agents will be in Milan for opening ceremony

• LA Games chair named in new batch of Epstein files

The International Olympic Committee has admitted that it is “distracting and sad” that the buildup to the Winter Olympics has been dominated by the deployment of ICE agents to Milan-Cortina and the appearance of the Los Angeles 2028 chair, Casey Wasserman, in the Epstein files. However Kirsty Coventry, the IOC president, insisted that once the Games begin on Friday, their “magic and spirit” would take over.

Coventry refused to comment directly on the protests in Milan against immigration and customs enforcement agents and said she hadn’t spoken to Wasserman, who has apologised for flirty emails sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 when he was married, which only surfaced on Friday.

Boy and his father back in Minneapolis after being detained by ICE and held in immigration facility for more than a week

A five-year-old boy and his father were back in Minneapolis on Sunday after being released from a Texas immigration detention center where they were held for more than a week, according to US House representative Joaquin Castro.

“Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack. Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam,” Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, said in a post on X. “We won’t stop until all children and families are home.”

Airports identified as biggest winners of government’s £4.3bn support package with Heathrow alone taking £900m discount

Struggling hotels, restaurants and nightclubs are calling for more financial help with business rates after it emerged that Heathrow is among the biggest beneficiaries of a multibillion-pound package of state support.

The UK’s biggest airport is in line for a discount of nearly £900m on its rates bill over the next three years. That is a fifth of the total £4.3bn “transitional relief” fund announced by the chancellor in the budget for all businesses facing big bill increases.

Benjamin Sesko will never forget the sweet pirouette-and-finish that burst Bernd Leno’s net in stoppage time to earn Manchester United a dramatic victory over Fulham.

Only 180 seconds earlier Kevin had curled a peach of an equaliser past Senne Lammens in the 92nd minute that hushed the Old Trafford faithful and seemed to have grabbed a point for the visitors.

Melania, however, fell substantially short of turning a profit because it cost $40m to make and $35m to promote

Amazon’s Melania Trump documentary has reportedly beaten box office expectations and recorded the strongest start of any documentary in over a decade, taking $7m at the US box office during its lavishly-promoted opening weekend. Simultaneously, though, Melania fell substantially short of turning a profit because it cost $40m to make and $35m to promote.

And Amazon – which recently cut 16,000 corporate jobs – has been hit with criticism that making the documentary about the first lady, and paying so highly for it, was little more than a ploy to curry favor with her husband, Donald Trump, during his second presidency.

Chelsea’s reign as English women’s football’s top team is over after Manchester City dismantled the champions to open up a surely unassailable lead at the top of the Women’s Super League.

In an emphatic victory that will be symbolic of the ongoing changing of the guard, Kerolin scored a hat-trick as the runaway leaders won 5-1 at a jubilant Etihad Stadium and their fans were chanting “easy, easy, easy” before the end.

Aston Villa were already seething at trailing to 10-man Brentford and then, four minutes into the second half, those frustrations grew tenfold. Tammy Abraham thought he had made a goalscoring return, his first since winning promotion from the Championship seven years ago, but then it was all eyes on the referee, Tim Robinson, and the big screens that indicated a review. At Stockley Park, the video assistant referee, Paul Tierney, rewound the clock by 19 seconds, to the moment Leon Bailey, at the opposite end of the pitch, was deemed to have failed to keep the ball in play.

After a VAR delay of almost four minutes, Robinson’s mic connected with the stadium speakers. “After review, the ball is factually out of play, so the restart will be a throw-in to Brentford,” the referee said amid mass groans – and much worse – from the restless locals. The Premier League’s Match Centre said the ball was out of play “within the attacking possession phase (APP)”.

The Pillion star gives a so-so episode his all with sketches targeting the tactics of ICE officers, Tarzan and Trump voters changing their minds

The thousandth episode of Saturday Night Live opens with White House “border czar” Tom Homan (Pete Davidson) addressing members of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) amid the continuing chaos in Minneapolis. He stresses that ICE commander Greg Bovino wasn’t dismissed for doing a bad job, publicly lying about the killing of civilians, or even dressing like a Nazi, but because he “was filmed doing these things – the president no likey that.”

When asked what the mission in Minneapolis is, his ICE goons plead ignorance, causing him to flip out: “I’m Tom Homan, OK? I’m the separating families at the border guy. I’m the on film taking a $50,000 bribe guy, and you all are making me look like the upstanding, reasonable adult in the room. That’s crazy!”

Neco Williams was a very relieved man at the final whistle after his Nottingham Forest teammates held on against Crystal Palace to move a point further away from the relegation zone. The full-back produced a fantastic save and some amateur dramatics but was dismissed, having given away a penalty, in a game his side looked favourites to win.

Ismaïla Sarr scoring the resulting spot-kick to cancel out Morgan Gibbs-White’s opener was the only additional damage, as Forest endured an afternoon on the backfoot. If it was not for Palace currently living in striker purgatory, waiting for one to leave and a replacement to arrive, they may have made more of the one-man advantage, rather than extend their winless run to nine matches.

• Bellingham substituted as Real edge out Rayo Vallecano

• Real fans whistle own team during feisty 2-1 derby win

Kylian Mbappé stayed calm to roll home a 100th-minute penalty and claim Real Madrid a 2-1 win over nine-man Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in a spicy La Liga derby clash.

Los Blancos cut Barcelona’s lead back to one point at the top of the table after the Spanish champions beat Elche on Saturday.

Cherub at landmark church causes ecclesiastical and political uproar with alleged resemblance to Italian PM

Italy’s culture minister and the diocese of Rome have launched investigations after claims were made that an angel in a landmark church in Rome was restored in the likeness of the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni.

The resemblance was first flagged by the newspaper La Repubblica, which noted that one of the two angels flanking a marble bust of Italy’s last king in the Basilica of St Lawrence in Lucina now had “a familiar, astonishingly contemporary face”.

We are living longer and longer, but many of us are unprepared for the challenges age brings, says the novelist and psychotherapist Frank Tallis

We have never lived so long, so well, nor had more available advice on how to do so: don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t eat ultraprocessed foods; lift weights, get outside, learn a language. Cosmetics – or surgery – have never been so available, so advanced, nor so widely used; we take for granted medical procedures that previous ages would have considered miracles. And something’s clearly working: average global life expectancy is the highest in recorded history. The fastest growing demographic is now the over-80s.

There is much public hand-wringing about the burdens this ageing population will place on health and care systems, and on younger people. But what is far less talked about, argues the clinical psychologist Frank Tallis in his new book, Wise, is how to get older well: not just in physical, but in mental good health.

Prosecutors say seven deaths now being looked at in connection with Queen Elizabeth university hospital

The deaths of seven patients at Glasgow’s landmark super-hospital are now being investigated, prosecutors have confirmed.

The revelation that another two deaths are being examined after cancer patients, many of them children, contracted infections linked to Queen Elizabeth university hospital’s (QEUH) contaminated water supply and ventilation system, comes after Scottish Labour made public further evidence of political pressure being applied to open the campus in April 2015, just before the general election.

TikTok says it’s the ultimate wake-up call. But does the fitness craze have any downsides – apart from waking up the neighbours?

If you’re an avid viewer of online fitness content (or live below someone who is) you’re probably familiar with TikTok’s 50 jumps challenge. The basic premise is simple: you jump 50 times as soon as you wake up, for 30 days straight. Reach the end of the month and you’re supposedly in for a world of benefits.

The jumps, reassuringly, don’t need to be too extreme. Think gentle bouncing with a soft knee bend, rather than tuck jumps. Some content creators show themselves with arms by their sides, swaying their hips as they go; others have their arms crossed over their chests and maintain a strict up-and-down momentum. Some would find their natural home in a moshpit, others at a dance party. Nobody, yet, seems to have purchased a bedside trampoline.

It was 1974 and my school friends and I decided to backpack around Tasmania in the middle of winter – go figure. We were three mates in our late teens, without a clear plan.

After arriving on the ferry, we hopped on a train owned by a mining company and travelled through the wild and unpopulated Tasmanian west coast to Queenstown. It was all forest and mountains, and so utterly freezing, we sat in our sleeping bags on the train to try to warm up.

After six consecutive years as champions, Chelsea find their once firm grip on the Women’s Super League crown has been reduced to a little finger clinging to the side of the trophy. They head to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday nine points behind their opponents and surely sensing that only a win could prevent the title from transferring to Manchester City’s outstretched arms.

The big surprise here is the absence of Lucy Bronze for Chelsea. She has a ‘minor injury’, we are told. That’s a massive blow for the visitors. Manchester City, meanwhile, are overjoyed to welcome back Mary Fowler after her lengthy injury absence.

Film with a cast headed by Anthony Hopkins tells the story of a supercar marque that began in a small Bologna garage

Dozens of Maseratis of 1920s and 1930s designs have been built specially for a feature film about the Italian car company’s earliest days, with a cast headed by Anthony Hopkins.

Maserati: The Brothers tells the story of siblings driven by their love of cars to create an automotive company from scratch. It all began in a little garage in the Italian city of Bologna: in 1914 they founded a sports supercar company that went on to make some of the fastest vehicles on the planet.

• Palace’s £48m bid accepted; Mateta takes Milan medical

• Slot keen on bulking up squad with versatile defender

Crystal Palace have had a £48m bid for Jørgen Strand Larsen accepted by Wolves, after the south London club reignited their interest in the striker.

The Norway international, who joined Wolves on a permanent deal from Celta Vigo last summer for £23m, has scored one Premier League goal this season. The 25-year-old was a substitute for Wolves’s 2-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on Saturday.
