On a typically nervy afternoon on the Trent, one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon arrived in the seconds after the final whistle, news over the speakers that Tottenham were still trailing at Sunderland. For Nottingham Forest, a creditable draw against Aston Villa takes them another precious point towards Premier League safety, Neco Williams’s low strike cancelling out Murillo’s own goal; confirmation that Forest are now three clear of the relegation zone was greeted as warmly as one would expect.
These teams could meet again at the end of the month in a Europa League semi-final but, for now, there are more pressing priorities. For the fourth successive season Villa left the City Ground without the full bounty and they wasted a series of chances to earn victory, Morgan Rogers skying a routine rebound from close range while Ollie Watkins also sent a shot sailing over the bar.

GSK has revealed positive results for a treatment for gynaecological cancers as its chief executive, Luke Miels, steps up drug development efforts at the group.
The company said that in an early-stage trial Mocertatug Rezetecan, known as Mo-Rez, shrank or eliminated tumours in 62% of patients with ovarian cancer where chemotherapy had failed, and in 67% of those with endometrial cancer.

We’re great enemies in cricket, England and Australia. So when the Ashes returned this past summer, my son and I travelled from Ballarat to Adelaide to see the showdown in the third Test. It’s a long drive but we made it a boys’ trip, stopping in at pubs and all that nonsense on the way.
It was a great start to the essential cricket pilgrimage. The problem was when we got to the Adelaide Oval, the temperature was a gruelling 40C. Worse still, by the middle of the day, the sun was beaming directly on to our seats. There was no shade and no reprieve.

St Peter's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in the South Australian capital of Adelaide. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Adelaide and Metropolitan of the Province of South Australia. The cathedral, a significant Adelaide landmark, is situated on approximately 1 acre (0.40 ha) of land at the corner of Pennington Terrace and King William Road in the suburb of North Adelaide.
The south front has features similar to the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville in Paris, including an ornate rose window above the main entrance which depicts stories of South Australia and the Bible.
The first service was held on St Peter's Day 1876, though the building was incomplete. Synod meetings and regular services began in May 1877. The women of the diocese had raised £1,200 to purchase an organ which was installed in 1877. The first part of the cathedral was consecrated on 1 January 1878. By the time Bishop Short retired in late 1881, £18,000 received from many donors had been spent. Much of the furnishing was also donated including stained-glass windows, a marble font, the chancel's tessellated pavement and an altar. Work began again in 1890 during the tenure of Bishop George Wyndham Kennion. Governor the Earl of Kintore laid a foundation stone, 1.5 long tons (1.5 t) of Monarto South granite, on 27 September. The ceremony included Masonic Honors as the Governor was Grand Master of the South Australian Freemasons. The congregation raised funds and Woods was again contracted as architect. Over £10,000 was spent beginning the two towers and the western part of the nave, and completing the northern porch. Building work ceased in 1894 when funds were exhausted and did not resume for some years.
A £4,000 bequest came from Sir Thomas Elder in 1897. This and other smaller amounts from offerings and gifts were added to the building fund. A tender was awarded in 1899 to complete the nave and bring the towers to roof height. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge donated £1,000, conditional on completion of work by 1902, and in 1900 Robert Barr Smith donated £10,000 to enable completion of the towers, spires and creation of an apse at the chancel end. The Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary) were present when the nave was consecrated, and a Boer War memorial unveiled on 14 July 1901. A dedication ceremony for the towers and spires was held on 7 December 1902, and the last scaffolding removed two months later. The south porch and some temporary vestries were subsequently built, in addition to a crypt under the Lady chapel. A consecration ceremony was held on 7 April 1904; this marked completion of the cathedral's external structure. Records show that the work from the 1890s to date had cost somewhat over £25,000.

Established in 1838, the Queen's Head Hotel on Kermode Street, North Adelaide, is reputed to be South Australia’s oldest licensed hotel operating in its original location. Founded by Giles Abbott Snr, it was a pivotal early community hub, hosting early religious services and acting as a landmark for travelers in colonial North Adelaide.
Key Historical Facts:
Establishment: Announced by Henry G. Hewett and Giles Abbott on August 30, 1838, with a license recorded in 1839, making it one of the very first hotels in the new colony.
Original Structure: Located on the corner of Kermode Street and Abbott Lane, it is unique for retaining much of its original, ground-level, single-story layout, resisting the later 19th-century trends of rapid expansion or rebuilding seen elsewhere.
Key Functions: It served as a meeting place for local community groups, including providing a space for members of the Church of Christ between 1848 and 1851.
Architecture: The facade has largely remained unchanged since major renovations were completed in 1881.
Heritage & Reputation: It has been a popular stopping point for patrons of the nearby Adelaide Oval and is renowned as a key heritage site.
Historical Significance:
The Queen's Head was among the earliest businesses established as settlers moved north of the River Torrens, serving a "most populous" part of North Adelaide. It was notable for surviving a proposed license transfer to a new venue in Prospect in the late 19th century.
MOSKOU/KYIV (ANP/RTR/AFP) - Oekraïne en Rusland beschuldigen elkaar van het veelvuldig schenden van een 32 uur durend bestand ter gelegenheid van het orthodoxe paasfeest. Het Russische ministerie van Defensie telde in de nacht van zaterdag op zondag 1971 schendingen van het staakt-het-vuren, terwijl de Oekraïense generale staf melding maakte van 479 artillerieaanvallen en meer dan 1700 drone-aanvallen door Russische troepen.
Rusland meldde twee doden en meerdere gewonde burgers, onder wie een kind, door Oekraïense artilleriebeschietingen. Oekraïne meldde twee gewonden door een Russische drone-aanval.
Volgens de kalender van het orthodoxe geloof, dat in beide landen dominant is, wordt Pasen dit jaar op zondag gevierd. De Russische president Vladimir Poetin kondigde op 9 april het tijdelijke staakt-het-vuren aan. Het loopt zondag om 22.00 uur Nederlandse tijd af. De Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky stemde in met het bestand.
