The presenter and comedian (and her gang of weary woodcutters) enjoy a perfect Sunday lunch at a local inn…

The Crown, Arford Road, Headley, Bordon GU35 8BT (01428 288090; thecrownarford.com ). Small plates from £4.50; large plates £18-£29; desserts £9; and wines from £36

I feel I shouldn’t be writing at all because I am so full and so happy. I have just had the meal of meals – a Sunday lunch of such perfection that really my next move should have been to lie down. I live in an ancient part of Britain, where once upon a time if you wanted to pick sides, it was between Wessex and Mercia. Of course, in the ninth century the pesky Vikings turned up and imposed Danelaw. Being Danish myself I now realise that the locals missed a trick in defending themselves. Instead of battling or giving in they should simply have served the naughty Norsemen a perfect plate of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, buttered greens and gravy and the invading hordes would have been putty in their hands.

A complex corporate network is enabling big landlords to avoid business rates by claiming religious exemption – and costing cash-strapped councils millions

The windows are painted over, the woodwork is rotting and weeds have sprouted through the paving outside.

The former Duke of York pub in Clapham, south London, is not in the best of shape. It certainly does not look like somewhere used for regular prayer services.

A lack of regulation is having harmful consequences

Martha Gill rightly questions the proliferation of psychotherapists and counsellors (“ We can’t move for therapists, but are they helping or harming mental health patients? ”, Comment).

As parents of a severely, chronically depressed adult child, we are sadly all too familiar with the risks of this unregulated industry: we have paid around £30,000 over several years to two private therapists, to no avail. Even qualified practitioners offer no guarantees. One introduced our daughter to an online forum full of arguments against psychiatric diagnosis, thwarting any progress in her mental health.

As territory is won and lost by opposing military forces, people grasp at scraps of normality. But the country is undergoing the world’s most severe humanitarian catastrophe and global announcements of help have amounted to nothing

A friend had gone missing. Nothing unusual in Sudan’s ruinous war , but Hitham Mohund knew it was vital to act quickly. However, in an abandoned home near the Nile River he stopped searching after making a grisly discovery: wedged inside a bathroom were three bodies. Hands tied, eyes staring upwards.

“They were shot in the chest,” said the 28-year-old, as he walked towards Maigoma Street, a dusty thoroughfare in north Khartoum, Sudan’s capital.

Recently installed prime minister expected to confirm 28 April ballot as he seeks to keep Liberal party in government

Mark Carney will run for election in the Ottawa riding of Nepean as the new Canadian prime minister seeks to join parliament for the first time, his Liberal party has announced.

The Liberals said on Saturday that Carney would run to represent the suburban riding, or district, of Nepean, noting in a social media post that Ottawa is where he raised his family and devoted his career to public service.

2nd over: Australia 22-0 (Mooney 4, Voll 18) Good attacking move from the home side as leg spinner Eden Carson gets the second over. First ball however is a long hop and Voll sweeps it over her left shoulder for a boundary. A single from the second. Mooney swats square for another easy run. Now some turn for Carson! That ball pitched and gripped, shooting low and straight and Voll had to chop down to prevent her castle exploding. Carson tries the same trick but Voll is ready for this one. Bang! She cuts for four. And wallop! Another short ball is met by Voll’s fast crouch and crunching cross bat shot. Four!

1st over: Australia 8-0 (Mooney 3, Voll 5) Mooney works Kerr’s second delivery for a single. Voll take an aerial aproach, getting down on one knee and slog sweeping for a boundary. She follows it up with a swipe that bounces awkwardly for the square fielder. They pinch a run. Strong start for the visitors.

Overnight raid triggers fires in capital; talks involving Ukrainian, US and Russian officials due to start in Saudi Arabia. What we know on day 1,124

Russia launched an overnight drone attack on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv , hitting apartment buildings, injuring seven people and causing several fires throughout the city, Ukrainian officials said early on Sunday. The drones hit two high-rise buildings in Podil district and started fires there, said Timur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration. The attacks also sparked fires in at least two other districts, said the city’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko. Kyiv, its surrounding region and the eastern half of Ukraine were under air raid alerts , according to Ukraine’s air force maps. “Stay in shelters!” Klitschko wrote on Telegram.

Talks between US and Ukrainian officials are scheduled to begin on Sunday in Saudi Arabia. A Washington source briefed on the planning of the meetings said the US side would be led by Andrew Peek of the national security council and Michael Anton of the state department, Reuters reported.

After US officials meet the Ukrainians on Sunday night, they will meet Russian officials on Monday , Reuters reports. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said earlier this week, however, that Ukrainian officials would be present at the talks involving US and Russian officials but would not be in the same room as the Russians.

Zelenskyy is expected to present a list of facility types that could be subject to a partial ceasefire on energy targets . The Kremlin said Russian and US experts were also due to discuss ways to ensure the safety of shipping in the Black Sea at the talks in Saudi Arabia.

Zelenskyy said on Saturday he had met top military commanders in Ukraine’s north-east to discuss the frontline as well as the upcoming talks with US officials. In social media images, Zelenskyy was seen in Kharkiv, a frequent target of Russian attacks. He said he discussed frontline sectors in Ukraine’s east as well as in western Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian troops remain seven months after a cross-border incursion.

Authorities in southern Russia’s Krasnodar region brought in firefighting trains loaded with water on Saturday to help battle a blaze still raging at an oil depot after a Ukrainian drone attack. Regional officials said four trains were drafted into the site at Kavkazskaya, where the fire first broke out last Tuesday. Firefighters were tackling a fire still burning at one of the tanks at the site covering 1,250 square metres while also trying to cool other equipment at the site. On Friday, depressurisation of the burning tank triggered an explosion and the release of burning oil, Russian officials said.
