Image caption, Phoebe Waller-Bridge is donating the London flat as part of the Writers' Block scheme Fleabag creator, writer and actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge is offering a rent-free flat in London for writers early in their careers. The 41-year-old has bought and donated the flat as part of a new theatre initiative Writers' Block, which aims to address the cost of London accommodation for playwrights from underprivileged backgrounds. She bought the flat specifically for writers who are starting out and are struggling to afford accommodation in the capital, and has donated its use alongside what the scheme called a generous financial contribution. Her flat will be provided without rent, with the resident paying bills only. Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne - who wrote the films Wonder and Enola Holmes, as well as the Harry Potter And The Cursed Child stage play - is also providing financial backing to the scheme.

In the past eighteen months, Britain's venerable Victoria & Albert Museum has added two new outposts. The nation's most important repository of applied and decorative arts, it possesses far more than its custodians can (or would want to) put on permanent display at its long-standing location, in South Kensington. For decades, hundreds of thousands of its objects were available only to scholars and curators.

Alarm about declining interest in books is perpetual. But, as bookselling reaches unexpected heights, James Daunt, the chief executive of Barnes & Noble, thinks a different future is at hand. Daunt, the most important man in bookselling, maintains that a literary culture is something booksellers are well placed to build. It was the Friday before Labor Day, a lowering sun, when James Daunt, the most important man in bookselling, spilled off a train and turned to work. He had reached the end of the track in New Jersey. His destination, the Barnes & Noble in Eatontown, was three miles in from the shore. In the normal course of things, Daunt, who is tall and English and who often has the look of someone trying and failing to be invisible, would weave across the final stretch by bicycle--he has a folding Brompton--but the afternoon was muggy, and the traffic unkind, so he crammed into a rideshare car. On the map, Eatontown looked minuscule, but on the approach it unfurled: shopping mall ...

Solar geoengineering could buy humanity time against climate change--or trigger a dangerous new arms race. A first-of-its-kind simulation offered a glimpse of what happens when geopolitics takes the wheel. When it comes to deciding the fate of the planet, Colleen Golja always thought science and reason would have a seat at the table. That was until one morning last September in London, when the climate researcher took part in the first in a series of war games. The goal: to prevent an uncontrolled global race to develop a technology aimed at cooling the planet but that comes with vast, unknown risks that could reshape life on Earth. "I thought that would be such an easy thing. Like, we can all agree to do ethical research and make sure it's for the better of all humans," she told WIRED.

As many have observed, Jeffrey Archer, who has died aged 86, led a life as colourful as the plot in one of his novels. He was, at one time or other, a senior Conservative politician, a best-selling author, a peer of the realm, and a convicted perjurer. Possessed of huge drive, vast wealth and immense personal charm, Archer bounced back from disaster and, more than once, rebuilt a shattered life. But for all his talents, he will be remembered as a man affected by a defective moral compass, whose public humiliation was entirely self-inflicted. Jeffrey Howard Archer was born in north London on 15 April 1940. Within two weeks, his parents moved to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, where they bought a house from John Cleese's mother.

But we've reached the point where the Washington Commanders quarterback is talking to the media again and even suggesting he might play on Sunday. Daniels, in London with his teammates for the game against the Indianapolis Colts, faced reporters for the first time since his injury on Sept. 20 and was almost immediately asked if he could play this week.
