Hong Kong violence and England in World Cup semi-final

Police in Hong Kong have fired tear gas and evicted protesters who occupied its parliament. The territory’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, has appealed for peace following what she called an “extreme use of violence”.

But the protesters show little sign of backing down. Their original demand was the dropping of an extradition bill they said would lead to dissidents being removed to mainland China. But they are now asking for all detained activists to be released and for an investigation into police violence.

At 20:00 BST the waiting will be over, as England take on the USA in Lyon, France. Can Phil Neville’s Lionesses beat the team he describes as the “best” to make the final? The bookmakers have the Americans as favourites, but Neville says he’s been planning for this match for a very long time. “We’re ready for them,” he tells the BBC. “Sometimes, before these games, you can have fear and trepidation – but I can smell nothing but freedom, happiness and excitement.”

Betty White and Beatrice Arthur made living with friends look like fun on the popular sitcom the Golden Girls, but what’s it really like to share a house with others in your senior years?

“I’ve been amazed at how good it is,” Louise Bardswich says. She’s been sharing a 4,000-sq-foot home with three other women in Port Perry, Ontario, Canada, since 2015.

The four of them – Bardswich, 67, Martha Casson, 70, Beverly Brown, 68, and Sandy McCully, 74 – have become evangelists for this kind of housing, and have been dubbed the new Golden Girls. They believe their situation – the four women were all relative strangers before they moved in – is the start of a new trend.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Boris Johnson plans to cut the number of cabinet ministers by half if he becomes prime minister, by merging several departments. His rival for the job, Jeremy Hunt, is promising to reduce civil servants’ summer holidays, the Times says. There’s also widespread coverage of the protests in Hong Kong. The Financial Times calls them “one of the biggest challenges” to Beijing’s authority since it took over control of the territory from the UK in 1997. Metro describes the territory as being “on the brink”, while the i leads on China warning against UK “interference”.
