The former Tottenham and France captain discusses his ups and downs at Spurs, Ange Postecoglou and his new life in Los Angeles

• Read exclusive extracts from Hugo Lloris’s autobiography

Hugo Lloris lived in the intense pressure cooker of international football and the Premier League for so long that there is lightness and even relief as he describes how today began for him in Los Angeles. “I woke up this morning and had breakfast with my kids,” he says with a grin as he chats away happily at home. “I then took them to school and obviously the weather is amazing. Just before our interview I went for a walk and I was still in shorts and a T-shirt … in November.”

Lloris laughs in mild disbelief. We speak on Monday, the day before America goes to the polls, and the 37-year-old goalkeeper says: “Tomorrow is the big day and what’s really surprising when I am walking around the neighbourhood is seeing that people are not afraid to show who they’re voting for. You see the signs outside their houses. We are more private in Europe.”

The president-elect benefited from working-class hostility to a remote elite. Liberals need to reargue their case

Yes, we all know it looks terrible. We have heard what Donald Trump has promised . But could there be silver linings to these ominous clouds? The election was two days ago. Tomorrow is another day, and this strange, faulty, thin-skinned but tough-as-nails character is notable for one thing: unpredictability.

The essence of Trump is that he is not a politician but an egotistical wheeler-dealer. He is not a strategist, let alone an ideologue. Dealers are judged by their deeds, not their words. They react to circumstance by talking, negotiating, not policymaking. Trump is said by his friends to be aware of the mistakes he made last time round. That he is desperate not to do so again is good news.

Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light wowed Cannes with its portrayal of the struggles of women in Mumbai. She talks about inequality, misogyny – and being haunted

There is nothing ostensibly special about Mumbai, according to Payal Kapadia. There is no iconic building to photograph, no ancient history to mine. “It’s a post-colonial city that didn’t exist before the British came and joined seven islands, purely for capitalism.”

But for the director, who has become one of Indian cinema’s biggest names, there is a magic at the heart of the country’s financial capital, one imperceptible to the naked eye. “Mumbai is defined by the people who travel from all across India to live and work there,” Kapadia says. “The city is in a constant state of flux.”

England has been the most successful nation in senior events, but competition has become stiffer in Europe, while the US has won the world over-50 teams two years running

England’s success in senior events has been outstanding in recent years, but there are indications that the golden era, which was already ­challenged by US over-50 team victories in 2023 and 2024, may be undermined ­further by individuals and teams from Eastern Europe.

At the European individual 65+ championship in Lignano Sabbiadoro, on the Adriatic coast in Northern Italy, the holder, GM John Nunn, was the strong favourite, but finished only sixth with 6.5/9. The grand­master and eminent author from Bude in ­Cornwall was unbeaten, and his fourth-round win was in his ­vintage attacking style, but a run of four ­successive draws spoiled his chances.

• Tariffs, tech and Taiwan: how China hopes to Trump-proof its economy

Wang Dong , a professor of international relations at Peking University, has warned that “Trump 2.0 is likely to be more destructive than the 2017 version.”

In a pre-election interview with Chinese media, Wang said:

“Compared with his first term in office in 2017, Trump’s views in his second campaign in 2024 have not changed much, but the domestic situation and international environment have changed dramatically … during the Trump 2.0 period, China and the United States are likely to have constant friction and conflict”.

“China and the United States can achieve many great and good things through cooperation, and the list of cooperation should be stretched longer and longer.”

“The more success stories of mutually beneficial cooperation, the better.”

This tricksy caper ranges from 1980s Cambridge to the rise and fall of Liz Truss with entertaining results

Well, it worked for Richard Osman. Twenty-three-year-old Phyl, stuck in her parents’ house with an English degree and a zero-hours job in a sushi chain, is wondering how hard it could be to write a cosy crime novel. “Death in a Thatched Cottage? The Beach Hut Murders? The Flapjack Poisonings?” As another character points out, it’s bizarre that violent homicide has been rebranded as “cosy”. “It’s very British, in some indefinable way.”

Jonathan Coe, the laureate of Britishness, sets his 15th novel against a particularly wobbly period of national history: the short-lived ascendancy of Liz Truss and the death of the Queen in autumn 2022. It is indeed a happily playful and nicely satisfying slice of cosy crime, scattered with clues and red herrings, locked‑room mysteries, teetering cliffhangers and stagily withheld information. Before she is shocked out of her apathy by a sudden death, Phyl also considers trying her hand at the genres of dark academia and auto­fiction, and accordingly one section of the book is a memoir of mysterious goings-on in a Cambridge college in the 1980s, and another a report in real time of a search for a rare book, with two narrators who can’t agree on whether to use the present or the past tense (“fake and embarrassing”).
