Sonia Bompastor ‘a bit sad’ at League Cup changes while Andrée Jeglertz steels Manchester City for season’s climax

Sonia Bompastor said losing the opportunity to play in the League Cup was a “bit sad,” but she understood the reason for excluding teams that qualify for the Champions League next season. With Chelsea rarely outside the European places the Blues’ 2-0 League Cup final victory over Manchester United on Sunday may well be their last foray in the competition for some time. “I think I understand the reason why the decision is made,” she said after goals from Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones secured the win. “For a club like Chelsea, we are playing a lot of games, our schedule is busy, so I understand the reason behind the decision. As much as we want to be competing in every competition and going as far as possible and grabbing as many titles and trophies as possible, I understand. Of course, when you have one competition that is probably going away from you it’s a bit sad.” Suzanne Wrack

The final series of the BBC’s sharp sendup of boarding school in the UK is a riot of sex, scandals and final exams. This is striking, charming TV that has been impressive from first to last

Daniel Lawrence Taylor’s teen drama Boarders is a bit of a Trojan horse. From the aesthetic, you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a shiny CBBC comedy. But the series, which follows a group of Black, inner-city teens through the looking-glass into an elite boarding school, is a sharp satire of these institutions. It doesn’t just take aim at the pomp and tradition of British boarding schools – although there’s plenty of familiar sending up of rugby lads. It also goes further to explore the range of incredibly complex dynamics that emerge every day for Black people in elite institutions.

Take its first two seasons, which took an unexpectedly cynical look at the business of diversity, equality and inclusion. After the teens enrol at the fictional St Gilbert’s, it quickly emerges that their scholarship programme is an attempt to rehabilitate the school’s image, which took a knock after a pupil poured champagne on a homeless man.

Food production in many African countries depends heavily on fertiliser imported from the Gulf through the strait of Hormuz

Countries in Africa, where farmers depend heavily on imported fertiliser and a large share of household income goes on food, are particularly vulnerable to supply chain disruptions caused by the war in the Middle East, experts have said.

The conflict has drastically disrupted trade through the strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping lane not just for oil and gas but also for fertiliser, which is produced in vast quantities in the Gulf.
