• Wales 19-24 Fiji
• Caleb Muntz stars as Fijians avenge loss at World Cup

Fiji had never beaten Wales in Cardiff but records are made to be broken. An impressive second-half performance, orchestrated by the fly-half Caleb Muntz and captain Waisea Nayacalevu, saw the Flying Fijians come away with a famous win in the Welsh capitaland continue the losing misery for Warren Gatland’s team.

Wales have not been defeated in 10 successive Tests since their losing streak of 2002 and 2003. It was a record Gatland’s team had wanted to avoid but instead Fiji avenged their narrow loss at the Rugby World Cup just over a year ago.

Research into psychology of people in US and UK suggests it is better to submit work on time rather than perfecting it through procrastination

Is there a job you’re putting off finishing so you can read this story? Well, if new research into procrastination is anything to go by, you’d better get back to it.

Scientists studying the psychology of people who leave things to the last minute have found that work that is submitted late tends to be judged more harshly than when a deadline is met.

An unprecedented eight former prime ministers stood together in Whitehall, while 10,000 veterans marched past

Crowds fell silent at war memorials in villages, towns and cities across the country on Remembrance Sunday as generations gathered to commemorate lives lost in conflicts.

In Whitehall, the Princess of Wales joined King Charles to honour the fallen, after a year in which they had both been diagnosed with cancer. A two-minute silence was led by the king who was the first to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph.

The free market experiment has failed, free trade is out, and populism is rife but it can be defeated if the left can galvanise ideas into a credible plan

Margaret Thatcher was prime minister and Nigel Lawson her chancellor of the exchequer. Neil Kinnock was leader of the Labour party. The iron curtain separated Europe.

Across the Atlantic, Ronald Reagan’s second term in the White House was drawing to a close. Donald Trump floated the idea that George Bush might want him as his running mate in the looming US presidential election, an overture Bush described as “strange and unbelievable”.

Trump won because he promised to give voters what they wanted rather than what America’s liberal elite thought they ought to want.

Regional vice-president says ‘we cannot abandon the victims’ after huge protest over handling of disaster

The Valencian regional government, which has been heavily criticised over its response to the deadly floods that have killed at least 222 people in Spain, has ruled out any imminent resignations over the matter, arguing that the departure of senior leaders would constitute a betrayal of the victims of the disaster.

• Premier League updates from the 4.30pm GMT kick-off
• Live scoreboard | Live clockwatch | And email Dominic

With official team news due at 3.15pm, we await news on several key midfielders. Arsenal fans will be desperate to see Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard. Word is both players have arrived at Stamford Bridge, along with Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino who both picked up knocks in Milan in midweek.

Chelsea’s concerns centre around Cole Palmer, who was on the end of a bash from Lisandro Martinez at Manchester United last weekend, but the general consensus seems to be that Palmer will be fine. He’d arguably be the biggest miss of the lot.

Americans recount political clashes inside the home and how they get past it – or don’t

In the 2024 election, women turned out for Kamala Harris, while men were instrumental in securing Donald Trump’s win, according to early polling information. In some cases, those women and men were married to each other or otherwise romantically involved. In other relationships, it was the men who voted for Harris, while their female partners voted for Trump.

Here, Americans who voted differently from their partners shared with the Guardian how such partisan views have affected their relationship, what it was like to “cancel out” a loved one’s vote, and why some kept their votes secret. Some requested to keep their identities anonymous to discuss personal matters.

Free press advocates are alarmed by Trump’s talk of revoking broadcast licenses and jailing journalists – but express hope in the US’s first amendment

Donald Trump could have an easier time limiting press freedom in his second term in the White House after a campaign marked by virulent rhetoric towards journalists and calls for punishing television networks and prosecuting journalists and their sources, legal scholars and journalism advocacy groups warn.

Aside from worries about Trump’s demonization of the press inciting violence against journalists, free press advocates appear to be most alarmed by Trump’s call for the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke TV networks’ broadcast licenses and talk of jailing journalists who refuse to reveal anonymous sources.
