Chance of developing some of the most lethal tumours up to five times higher in women recently diagnosed with condition

People who develop type 2 diabetes face an increased risk of some of the most lethal cancers, including liver and pancreatic tumours, with the greatest rises in women, research suggests.

The analysis of health records from 95,000 people found that the risk of pancreatic cancer was nearly twice as high, and the chance of developing liver cancer almost five times as high, in women recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Recalled England midfielder discusses his last-minute dash, as a fan, to the Euro 2024 final – and his World Cup dream

Jordan Henderson wanted to be part of it. He felt he deserved to be part of it. And so, despite the obstacles, he put in the hard yards to make it happen. It has been a theme of the Ajax midfielder’s career and it resonates once again with him back in the England squad, winning his 81st cap as a substitute in Thomas Tuchel’s first game as head coach – the 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Albania on Friday night. The more sideways take on it came last summer.

Henderson was devastated to have been overlooked by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024 in Germany, having been involved throughout qualification. The determining factor was the muscle injury he picked up last March, which sidelined him for the best part of two months and did not give him the time to get fully fit at the end of the domestic season. That was how Southgate sold it, anyway.

Met Office warns of flooding, as parts of country sees torrential rain after warmest spring equinox in more than 50 years

Heavy showers, hail and thunder are forecast to hit the UK days after the warmest spring equinox in more than 50 years.

There was torrential rain in some parts on Saturday afternoon and National Highways said parts of the M18 in Yorkshire were closed while specialists worked to clear flood water.

It is expected to be a cloudy start to Sunday with rain in the north and east and sunny spells in the north-west and south-east followed by showers, the Met Office said. There will be above average temperatures for most parts of the UK topping 15C in London, 12C in Birmingham and 11C in Manchester.

The Met Office said: “Heavy showers have developed across eastern parts of England this afternoon, with some hail and thunder mixed in. Heavy, thundery showers continue in parts of London and the East Midlands, with some areas seeing 10-15mm of rain in less than an hour.”

The UK experienced its warmest spring equinox day since 1972 on Thursday with 21.3C recorded in Northolt, west London, and Chertsey, Surrey.

Jonathan Vautrey, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “For this time in the year, it is rarer to have such intense storms. This is happening because we have had a lot of warm weather of late and temperatures are notably above average for the time of year.

“We’ve had highs reaching over 20C over the last few days, and we were up to 18.5C as the high today as well, where we should be more around 10 or 11C.

“That sort of heat that we’ve got around at the moment has really helped to spark off some of these thunderstorms, and a lot of moisture being drawn in with this sort of low-pressure system that’s been arriving across the UK.”

Vautrey added that climate crisis is pushing temperature extremes to new levels. “We’re constantly seeing warmer temperatures at earlier points of the year compared to where they normally are.

“These sort of intense summer storms are then increasingly going to happen at more points in the year because we’re getting those temperatures in there to really allow them to start developing.”

Flood alerts from the Environment Agency remain in place for 20 parts of the country including Henley, Salisbury and Hertfordshire.

The Met Office told travellers to “take care” as “there could be some localised flooding in places”.

Yisroel Liebb of New Jersey claims pilot broke lock and pulled him out with his pants down, leaving him exposed

An Orthodox Jewish passenger says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom while he was experiencing constipation, exposing his genitalia to other flyers during a flight from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston.

Yisroel Liebb, of New Jersey, described his trip through allegedly unfriendly skies in a federal lawsuit this week against the airline and the US Department of Homeland Security, whose officers he said boarded the plane upon landing and took him away in handcuffs.

It was not pitch perfect but Wales made a winning start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, the substitute Rabbi Matondo capping victory in stoppage time after Ben Davies and Daniel James scored either side of a Kazakhstan penalty. The hush of trepidation that filled the Cardiff air approaching the final whistle served to confirm what proved an awkward night as Wales edged past Kazakhstan, 110th in the world, to preserve Craig Bellamy’s unbeaten record in charge, though an improved performance is surely required if that is to remain in North Macedonia on Tuesday.

Wales hope this is the start of another memorable journey. And one with a happier ending than three woeful group-stage performances. This week even Ben Davies, a typically uber-cautious talker, did not dress up Wales’s showing at the last World Cup. “The best moment of Qatar was probably just the Ukraine [playoff] game in getting there,” said the defender, again captain in the absence of Aaron Ramsey, who is out for the rest of the season after hamstring surgery. A determination to do themselves justice on the biggest stage pervades this Wales squad but Bellamy was the first to acknowledge they cannot allow that desire to overwhelm them.

• Briton loses 7-6 (2) 7-6 (3) in Miami Open second round
• Jacob Fearnley also exits at hands of Alexander Zverev

Just under a week after pulling off the greatest achievement of his career so far, the next task for Jack Draper was to cast all thoughts of his sublime Indian Wells title run to the back of his mind while maintaining the form that had taken his tennis to new heights.

Performing at the highest level week after week regardless of circumstances and conditions remains one of the toughest challenges in professional tennis and on Saturday it proved a step too far. Draper fell back to earth with an unsatisfying 7-6 (2), 7-6 (3) defeat to the 19-year-old Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic in the second round of the Miami Open.

Institutions must resist thuggish bullying. There is no satisfying Trump. He will move the goalposts again and again

Since early 2024, I’ve been running a journalism ethics center at Columbia University.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that I see the university’s capitulation to Trump both in terms of journalism and ethics.

One Harry Kane pass to his fellow forward in otherwise routine win over Albania gives a hint of how England could succeed

One of the problems of international football is that everybody is always asking the wrong question, which to an extent is built into the form. Qualifiers matter only in as much as they have to be negotiated. Friday’s win by England over Albania fell into a very familiar pattern. The brave new world of Thomas Tuchel turned out to look a lot like the faded old world of Gareth Southgate. England had lots of the ball, did not move it fast enough and won by a couple of goals. It does not matter. They could have won 10-0, 8-5 or 1-0 and it would mean almost nothing in terms of the winning of the World Cup.

England want to win the World Cup next summer. They have a squad that should make them challengers. Barring pratfalls, there will come a point next year when they will play an Argentina or a Spain or a France, a team of equivalent or greater talent and, almost certainly, that is what will determine whether they are successful.
