Light, fresh goat’s cheese and artichokes baked on a herby, layered filo base and topped with hazelnuts. And ready in about half an hour, too

This is one of my favourite recipes for this column so far. Light, fresh goat’s cheese and artichokes baked in a tart with a smooth, herb-packed base and finished with hazelnuts; I especially like the contrast of the crisp filo against the filling. There are a lot of herbs here, but they balance beautifully, so I’d advise using them all, particularly the chives. (I bought 30g packs of mint and basil, but by the time I had got rid of the stems, there were just 20g leaves left. My herb windowsill is lavish with rosemary, sage and oregano, but sadly not the soft herbs yet.)

Unctad points out that many countries targeted with high tariff rates are unlikely to be a threat to US

The UN’s trade and development arm, Unctad, is calling on Donald Trump to exempt the world’s poorest and smallest countries from “reciprocal” tariffs, or risk “serious economic harm”.

In a report published on Monday , Unctad identifies 28 nations the US president singled out for a higher tariff rate than the 10% baseline – despite each accounting for less than 0.1% of the US trade deficit.

Nayib Bukele visits US amid questions over return of man wrongly deported to El Salvador; US deported 10 more people to the country at the weekend

Pete Marocco , the Trump administration official who played a major role in dismantling the US Agency for International Development ( USAID ), has left the state department, a US official said on Sunday.

Donald Trump ’s administration has moved to fire nearly all USAID staff , as billionaire Elon Musk ’s so-called “department of government efficiency” has slashed funding and dismissed contractors across the federal bureaucracy in what it calls an attack on wasteful spending.

The GB squad are into the finals for the second year running – a far cry from the early 2000s nadir

The turn of the millennium marked one of the most significant periods in the history of women’s tennis. An audacious, charismatic generation of young stars had stormed the tour, usurping the old leaders and transforming the image of the sport. On the biggest stages, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati and Anna Kournikova often generated more attention and higher TV ratings than their male counterparts. Some transcended the sport as global superstars.

At the same time that women’s tennis was thriving around the world, it had reached a grim nadir on these shores. For years, not a single British woman reached the top 100. They competed almost exclusively on the lower-level ITF circuit, only making fleeting cameos on the tour through wildcards at Wimbledon and during the grass season. The Fed Cup team, meanwhile, was rooted to the zonal group stages, a world away from competing with the best teams. Women’s tennis has a rich history in Britain, particularly in the grand slam-winning era of Virginia Wade and Sue Barker, but by the early 2000s Britain was completely irrelevant on the WTA Tour.

Ukrainian president says US president can visit any city, as Trump says deadly bombing of Sumy on Sunday ‘a mistake’

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has invited Donald Trump to visit Ukraine to see the devastation caused by Russia’s invasion as the US president appeared to downplay Moscow’s latest deadly attack , the worst on civilians this year, calling it “a mistake”.

International leaders condemned Russia’s strike on the centre Ukrainian city of Sumy on Sunday, which killed 34 people, including two children , as two ballistic missiles hit as people made their way to church for Palm Sunday.

The Amazon founder’s Blue Origin is due to undertake its 11th flight with six women on board

Good morning and welcome to our blog covering Blue Origin’s 11th human flight as Jeff Bezos blasts his bride-to-be, Lauren Sánchez, and five other women into space in what is being billed as the first all-female crew to attempt such a mission.

A crew of six women – Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist who will become the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space; the CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King; the pop star Katy Perry; film producer Kerianne Flynn; entrepreneur and former Nasa rocket scientist Aisha Bowe; and Sánchez, a journalist and philanthropist – will blast off on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket from the company’s launch site, 30 miles north of Van Horn, Texas, on an 11-minute, suborbital flight to the edge of space and back.

Skewed interpretations of classic works are feeding the dark visions of tech moguls, from Musk to Thiel

One can only imagine the horror the late Iain Banks would have felt on learning his legendary Culture series is a favourite of Elon Musk. The Scottish author was an outspoken socialist who could never understand why rightwing fans liked novels that were so obviously an attack on their worldview.

But that hasn’t stopped Musk, whose Neuralink company – which develops implantable brain-to-computer interfaces – was directly inspired by Banks’s concept of “neural lace”. The barges used by SpaceX to land their booster rockets are all named after spaceships from the Culture books.

This story from Charlie Brooker’s dystopian series is set at PC Zone magazine and thrillingly close to true events at one dingy London office in the 90s

Out of all the episodes in the excellent seventh season of Black Mirror , it’s Plaything that sticks out to me and I suspect to anyone else who played video games in the 1990s. It’s the story of socially awkward freelance games journalist, Cameron Walker, who steals the code to a new virtual pet sim named Thronglets from the developer he’s meant to be interviewing. When he gets the game home, he realises the cute, intelligent little critters he’s caring for on the screen have a darker ambition than simply to perform for his amusement – cue nightmarish exploration of AI and our complicity in its rise.

The episode is interesting to me because … well, I was a socially awkward games journalist in the mid-1990s. But more importantly, so was Charlie Brooker. He began his writing career penning satirical features and blistering reviews for PC Zone magazine, one of the two permanently warring PC mags of the era (I shared an office with the other, PC Gamer). In Plaything, it’s PC Zone that Cameron Walker writes for, and there are several scenes taking place in its office, which in the programme is depicted as a reasonably grownup office space with tidy computer workstations and huge windows. I do not think the production design team got this vision from Brooker.
