Miss Marple is one of the classic heroines of crime fiction. Quick-witted, devilishly observant and with a keen sense of justice, Jane Marple has delighted readers since she first appeared in a series of short stories by Agatha Christie in 1927. But now, almost a century later, she is being given a new lease of life in a collection of short stories penned by twelve of today's most famous crime writers, due out next year.

A Question of Sport is the world's longest TV sports quiz - it first appeared on our TV screens way back in 1970 and has clocked up 1,295 episodes - but it took until Friday night for Sam Quek to make history as the first ever female team captain. The 2016 Olympic Gold winning hockey player features in the new revamped BBC series alongside other team captain former rugby player Ugo Monye.

The Japanese Prime Minister has announced he is standing down. His popularity was at an all time low, and because of Covid many in Japan are very unhappy that the Olympics and Paralympics were held there. The Prime Minister took over from Shinzo Abe, who introduced a policy called Womeneconomics. This was a five year plan which ended last year, and aimed to get more women into the workforce and up the career ladder.

Watch: Woman screamed so loud at spider that five police officers turned up at housePolice in Scotland rushed to help a woman when screams were heard coming from her house, only to discover the 30-year-old inside was screaming at a spider.Two police vans and five officers arrived at Hollie Hunter’s house on Monday evening in Livingston, having been called by a neighbour. Once on the scene, they discovered that the intruder was in fact not a person, but a spider instead. Ms Hunter told Edinburgh Evening News that she had come across a spider “the size of the palm of [her] hand” and was waiting for her stepfather to arrive to help her remove it when police turned up at her door. They probably gave her a ticket for failing to wear her mask correctly or something while they were at it This lady should not visit my home city of Sydney then.
