This upsetting documentary goes to the town with the most terrifyingly high levels of Pfas in the UK, tests the locals and finds that nothing has been done to help them – and now it’s simply too late

Forever chemicals are not a fresh scandal that the world is only learning about now: in 2019 there was a Hollywood movie about them , based on a true story from the late 1990s. Mark Ruffalo was Rob Bilott, the crusading lawyer arguing that a West Virginia chemicals company was poisoning the locale. The film, Dark Waters, concerned per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Pfas), synthetic compounds that resist oil, water and heat, and which came into wide usage in the 1930s with the invention of Teflon. Their selling point is that they refuse to break down. The problem with them is that they refuse to break down, and once they’re in soil, groundwater, rivers, food or the air, they get into humans’ bloodstream, from where some Pfas are thought to play a role in causing cancer and other serious health conditions.

Yet it took until February this year for the British government to come up with a plan for how to deal with Pfas, and the documentary In Our Blood: The Forever Chemicals Scandal suggests that, for at least one small town, it’s too late. Cameras arrive in Bentham, North Yorkshire, for what is by now the sadly familiar story of a community in northern England of a few thousand people, generations of whom have been proud and grateful to work at the medium-sized business that dominates the local economy. Years later, the people of the town wonder if the thing they helped to make might be bad for their health.

• American beats No 1 seed 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 at Miami Open

• ‘Sebi was incredible today. Played such a great game’

An hour after his first catastrophic attempt at snuffing out the best player in the world, Sebastian Korda stepped up to the baseline to serve for his rollercoaster third-round match against Carlos Alcaraz once again.

It would have been reasonable for the American to feel his tension even more profoundly, to collapse even more dramatically, but his determination won through. In front of his home crowd in his home state, Korda kept his head and held his nerve to close out the greatest upset of the ATP season so far and his career, defeating the top seed Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in the third round of the Miami Open.

Programme is being billed as the most ambitious housebuilding project in England for half a century

Ministers have confirmed the locations for seven new towns, which include under-developed inner-city land, a historic village and an existing new town.

The programme is being billed by the housing and communities department as the most ambitious housebuilding project in England for half a century, with the planned construction of between 15,000 and 40,000 homes in each new town.

Centre-left Robert Golob and rightwing populist Janez Janša are frontrunners in contest after polarised campaign

Campaigners in Slovenia warned of a surge in anti-Romany rhetoric as the country headed to the polls on Sunday, leaving many bracing for the outcome of a vote that has become, in part, a referendum on how the country treats its most marginalised.

In Sunday’s vote, the prime minister, Robert Golob, of the centre-left Freedom Movement party, faced off against the rightwing populist and Donald Trump ally Janez Janša.

A group of contestants dropped in a forest must hunt or hide – or both – to try to get their hands on £100,000. Expect heroes, villains, fragile alliances and big characters

I can only assume that the brilliant minds who were locked in a vault at Channel 4 and commanded to come up with a rival to The Traitors came of age during peak Suzanne Collins fever. The new reality-competition show The Hunt: Prey vs Predator is indebted to The Hunger Games – battle takes place in an arena set in a 100-acre wood (Pooh could never ) and the contenders charge off from podiums in the middle of it when a klaxon sounds. I would love to know how furiously they argued for a lethal element (“Come on, one longbow! Just one!”), but for now at least we remain in the realm of cash prizes only. The pot is £100,000. What do the 10 players have to do to secure it?

First, they must divide themselves into two teams: predators and prey. Why would you want to be prey? Because the hunted get to take part in challenges scattered across the arena that will win them shares in the prize pot, which they will get to keep – unless a predator captures them. If that happens, the money is passed over and the roles swap: the hunted becomes the hunter. And on the swapsies go over nine weeks, with the prey voting one predator out each time.

• Manager surprised by City’s level after European exit

• Mikel Arteta defends decision to play Kepa Arrizabalaga

A delighted Pep Guardiola admitted disbelief at Manchester City’s second-half dismantling of Arsenal in which Nico O’Reilly’s double claimed the Carabao Cup at Wembley .

With Sunday’s’s final goalless at half-time, O’Reilly’s headers in the 60th and 64th minutes gave City the season’s first trophy, a fifth League Cup of Guardiola’s tenure and the 16th major honour overall of his decade in charge.

City hall veteran forecast to beat rightwinger Rachida Dati, while Marseille’s leftist incumbent leads far-right opponent

The Socialist Emmanuel Grégoire was on track to be elected mayor of Paris on Sunday night, roundly beating the former rightwing minister Rachida Dati, early projections showed.

Grégoire, a Socialist MP with a long track record at city hall, was running for a united left including the Greens. He was projected to have won with about 53%. This would mark a clear win against Dati, who served in government under Emmanuel Macron and Nicolas Sarkozy and had sought to win the French capital for the right after 25 years governed by the left.

Tehran’s response to Trump’s threat signals a potentially dangerous escalation as both sides menace sites relied on by millions

• Middle East crisis live – latest updates

Tehran has said it will “irreversibly destroy” essential infrastructure across the Middle East, including vital water systems, if the US follows through on Donald Trump’s threat to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants unless the strait of Hormuz is fully opened within two days.

As Iranian missiles struck two southern Israeli cities overnight , injuring dozens of people, and Tehran deployed long-range missiles for the first time, the developments signalled a dangerous potential escalation of the war, now in its fourth week, with both sides threatening facilities relied on by millions of people.

• Keely Hodgkinson caps famous night for British team

• Georgia Hunter Bell and Molly Caudery also take glory

Shortly before 8pm here in Torun, Georgia Hunter Bell, Molly Caudery and Keely Hodgkinson were jumping in delight and pure delirium after what was undoubtedly the greatest 29 minutes for Britain in world indoor athletics championship history.

Not one gold medal. Not two. But three. All in under 30 minutes. And as they waved the Union Jacks above their heads, and a phalanx of photographers crowded around them, you couldn’t blame them and the British fans in the crowd for getting more than a little giddy.
