Cause of Betsy Arakawa’s death was hantavirus pulmonary syndrome while Hackman died of heart disease, with advanced Alzheimer’s disease contributing

The actor Gene Hackman died of natural causes days after his wife, Betsy Arakawa, succumbed to a rare respiratory virus, authorities said on Friday.

Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome while Hackman died of heart disease, with advanced Alzheimer’s disease contributing, said Dr Heather Jarrell, the chief medical investigator for the New Mexico office of the medical investigator. The couple’s partially mummified bodies were discovered last month at their home in New Mexico.

It’s important you and your husband present a united front to his mum, and if she upsets you, you must learn to shut yourself off from her
Every week Annalisa Barbieri addresses a problem sent in by a reader

I’ve had a terrible run in with my mother-in-law and don’t know what to do about it.

I’m married to her only son, whom she dotes on. We had reached a point where we got on, but our relationship has always been strained. I feel as though whoever married her son would never be good enough.

Amen Teklay, a refugee from Eritrea, pronounced dead at scene on Wednesday night after suspected stabbing

Police in Glasgow have launched a murder inquiry after a 15-year-old Eritrean refugee was found dying after a suspected stabbing.

Amen Teklay was discovered seriously injured on Clarendon Street in the St George’s Cross area of the city late on Wednesday night and pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services.

O2 Arena, London
Her songs recall Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers, so much so it’s hard not to wish you were listening to them instead. Not that that bothers her excitable young fans

How do you describe a Gracie Abrams concert in one word? Bows. There are thousands and thousands of them at the O2 Arena tonight, most of them pale pink, and therefore starkly visible among the floor crowd even from seats high-up. Bows are Abrams fans’ Swiftian friendship bracelets – a clear identifier of standom that might cause a commuter to text a friend and ask: “Do you know why there are so many girls with bows at the station?”

It’s mildly ironic that Abrams’ fans are so clearly delineated given that Abrams’ tour for her second album, last year’s The Secret of Us, rarely feels so distinct. In a live setting, it’s hugely apparent that despite her astronomical success – her single That’s So True spent eight weeks as UK No 1; she supported on much of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour – the 25-year-old hasn’t yet carved out her own niche. Anyone just a few years older than the bulk of the crowd – a group that, judging by the pungent smell in the arena, is around that age where you’re old enough to sweat but not to have the confidence to ask your parents for antiperspirant – will probably identify Abrams’ songs by their reference points.

The US and Ukraine will meet in Jeddah next week, but the Saudi crown prince’s closeness to Putin is a concern

• Europe live – latest updates

On the surface, the announcement that Saudi Arabia will host talks between the US and Ukraine in Jeddah next week appears promising news.

After the disastrous meeting between the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Donald Trump in the White House last week, a more neutral location for this meeting of lower-level figures makes sense in terms of trying to dial down the temperature.
