As the Bond franchise heads to the online giant, thriller author William Boyd foresees a slew of spin-offs and says AI is not a threat to human screenwriters

Among the people best placed to predict how any James Bond of the future might look is a British writer with a strong feel for spies and for spying. William Boyd has been drawn back to the terrain repeatedly in his books. What’s more, he wrote his own official Bond novel, Solo, in 2013.

Now Amazon has picked up the rights to the character, Boyd foresees a succession of 007 spin-off products and entertainments. Perhaps even be new AI-generated novels? “Certainly wait for Bond aftershave – and for the theme park and the dinner jackets,” he said. “The new owners will have to commodify everything about their billion-dollar purchase, so there will be nightclubs and vodkas.”

As he prepares to face Manchester United in the FA Cup on Sunday, the midfielder talks tactics, up and downs and being part of Norway’s ‘little golden generation’

As Fulham finalise their preparations for Sunday’s trip to Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Sander Berge is thinking about how to handle adversity. “It taught me a lot about myself,” the midfielder says, recalling how spirits could have sagged when he was part of unsuccessful fights for survival with Burnley and Sheffield United.

We can now start sowing lettuce, radishes, chard, spring onions, beetroot, kale and more, for summer harvest

There are two dates that herald the beginning of spring. The one determined by astronomy is the vernal equinox, when the sun is exactly over the Equator and day and night are of equal length – that falls on 20 March this year. But I’m more of a fan of the meteorological calendar, which marks spring’s return sooner, on 1 March – today. As auspicious as the equinox can feel, I’ll always opt for calling in spring as early as reasonably possible.

No matter when you mark the return of spring, the long, dark months of winter will soon be behind us and sunlight hours will increase day by day. With the light comes more warmth, signalling to dormant trees, bushes and seeds that it’s time to consider waking from their winter slumber. It’s the arrival of these optimal conditions that means many seeds can be sown around now – lettuce, radishes, chard, spring onions, beetroot, kale and more – to be harvested come summer.

The first all-female private flight into space funded by the Amazon tycoon’s Blue Origin company has little to do with female empowerment and a lot to do with PR

A pop star, a TV host and a billionaire’s fiancée walk into a private rocket ship. The pop star turns to the others and asks: “Is this what feminism looks like?” According to the space technology company Blue Origin, owned and founded by the Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos, the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

On Thursday Blue Origin announced it would be launching the first-ever all-female commercial flight to space with a crew of astronauts including US singer Katy Perry, the morning news host (– and close friend of Oprah Winfrey – Gayle King and Bezos’s own partner, the journalist Lauren Sánchez, who reportedly organised the mission, which will happen sometime this spring.
