Here is what we know so far about the violence surrounding Maccabi Tel Aviv’s match against Ajax last week

Violence in Amsterdam around a Europa League football match between local team Ajax and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv sparked global horror, against a backdrop of soaring antisemitic and Islamophobic abuse and attacks across Europe fuelled by the Middle East conflict.

The Amsterdam mayor, Femke Halsema, has said she had not been told the match was high risk. Earlier last week, however, the Turkish club Beşiktaş moved their 28 November match against Maccabi Tel Aviv to a neutral country for fear of “provocative actions”.

After underwhelming box office for seventh movie in Tom Cruise series, $400m-budgeted next chapter might be last

The trailer for the eighth Mission: Impossible film has been released with a new title that suggests it might be Tom Cruise ’s final mission.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which is set to be released next summer, was originally intended to be the second chapter of 2023’s Dead Reckoning , with a title of Dead Reckoning Part Two.

In 2023, state was nation’s sole producer of almonds, artichokes, figs, olives, pomegranates, raisins and walnuts

Take a drive through the Salinas or Central valleys in California and you’ll pass from town to town advertising its specialty fruit or vegetable: strawberries in Watsonville, garlic in Gilroy, pistachios in Avenal and almonds in Ripon. More than 400 types of commodities are grown in the Golden state – including a third of the vegetables and three-quarters of the fruits and nuts produced in the United States.

Much of that food is grown by immigrant farmworkers – many of whom are undocumented. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), about half of the country’s 2.4 million agricultural farm workers do not have legal status in the US. But farm-worker advocates say the number is much higher in places like California, where it can be “as high as 70% in some areas”, according to Alexis Guild, vice-president of strategy and programs at Farmworker Justice, a non-profit based in Washington DC.

It was a fatal error certainly for Palestinians and quite likely, as we now see, for Americans, too

Could Kamala Harris have won the election if she had promised to change course in Gaza? It’s impossible to know, of course, but there’s reason to think so. Instead, Harris hewed far too closely to Biden’s position, alienating large numbers of voters along the way. The result? We can expect the catastrophe for the Palestinian people to continue, while we learn to live with a much more dangerous Donald Trump , a man whose far-right agenda threatens many of us in and out of the United States.

What seems to have doomed Harris most was not so much traditional Democrats casting votes for the Republican Trump, though there was some of that. In fact, party loyalty, at around 95% for both parties, was basically the same as in 2020. Rather, Harris’s shortcomings point to the rank-and-file of the Democratic party not coming out to vote and to more first-time voters casting Republican ballots. We don’t have the final voter tally yet, but so far Harris has amassed just over 68m votes, compared with Trump’s 72m. Biden, by contrast, earned over 81m votes in 2020. By the time the final numbers are in, it’s likely that Trump will have won more than the 74m votes he had in 2020, and Harris will have been the first Democrat to lose the popular vote in 20 years.

‘The first time we opened for James Brown, we got 20 minutes on stage. Then when he heard the crowd response, he cut it to 15. By the end of the tour, he’d cut us back to five’

Three of us were in a Philadelphia group called the Monarchs and the other guys were in the Percussions. When we left school, some went on to university and others were drafted into the military. The Monarchs were left with three members and the Percussions with two, so our English teacher and manager, Miss Beverly Hamilton, suggested we combine. Our guitar player, Robert Douglas, came up with the band name, which suggested something stylish.

New Tory leader tell inquiry of asking Treasury to sign off funding for better compensation over Horizon IT scandal

The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, has said it is “extremely disappointing” that it took the ITV drama about the Post Office scandal to get the government to accelerate compensation payments for wrongfully prosecuted branch owner-operators, the inquiry has heard.

Badenoch, the new leader of the opposition who held the post of business secretary for 17 months until the general election, said she and her then postal minister, Kevin Hollinrake, had been working behind the scenes to get the Treasury to sign off on funding for more rapid and generous payouts for post officer operators affected by the Horizon IT scandal.
