Decades after the BBC sitcom first aired, B&Bs in the Devon resort only occasionally lean into their association with the show

With his abusive and impatient service, ill temper and overt snobbery, Basil Fawlty might not have expected to be a point of reference forbed-and-breakfast owners.

But 50 years after Fawlty Towers first aired on the BBC, B&Bs in Torquay are still fond of the town’s association with the sitcom and its eponymous proprietor.

Indian players refuse to shake hands with Pakistani counterparts after Asia Cup match, in sign that traditional onfield camaraderie is eroding

As nationalistic rivalries go, few run as deep as India and Pakistan. But even as the neighbours fought wars against each other, carried out rival nuclear tests and conducted nightly shows of strength along their heavily militarised border, there was always one thing that brought them together: cricket.

But as the two sides came together on Sunday for a match in the Asia Cup tournament, the camaraderie that was once celebrated as cricket diplomacy had vanished.

I put myself forward as a human guinea pig to study the effects of long-term sub-aquatic living. Not everyone can say they have befriended a lobster and a shark

My stay in Jules’ Undersea Lodge started in March 2023. The habitat, secured to the bed of a 30ft-deep lagoon in Key Largo, Florida, wasn’t the most comfortable hotel I’ve spent time in, but then I wasn’t there for a holiday. I’m a biomedical researcher and I was there as part of a scientific mission called Project Neptune 100.

The main aim was to research the mental and physical impact on the human body of living in increased atmospheric pressure – 70% higher than at the surface. It was also to study what happens when you leave someone alone in a confined environment for 100 days. The data might have all manner of applications – for future missions to Mars, for example.

Donald Trump has told Britain it should “call out the military” to control its borders during a tightly controlled summit in which Keir Starmer ducked major flashpoints with the US president.

Exclusive: Interior Design Landscape, which faced closure by HMRC early this year, made donation in June

The party, which is leading in the polls, has been raising money from a wider range of private sources in recent months, with its treasurer, Nick Candy, talking of targeting high net worth individuals both in the UK and in low-tax jurisdictions.

Figure comes as Treasury prepares budget that is expected to include tax rises to plug yawning deficit

The UK government borrowed more than expected last month, official figures show, adding to pressure on the Treasury in the run-up to the autumn budget.

Home Office says man left Heathrow for Paris early on Friday after losing high court attempt to block move
