Some fell from tall barrier separating sides while about 500 entered border zone after cutting fence

Eighteen people have died after a mass attempt by a huge crowd of African migrants to cross from Morocco into Spain’s enclave of Melilla.

About 2,000 migrants approached Melilla at dawn on Friday and more than 500 managed to enter a border control area after cutting a fence with shears, the Spanish government’s local delegation said in a statement.

Soon after the supreme court struck down abortion protection, pro-choice demonstrators took to the streets

Massive protests swept across the US on Friday in response to the supreme court decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion.

Soon after the decision was released, reversing federal reproductive protections that have been in place for half a century, pro-choice demonstrators began gathering in major cities and smaller towns in a wide range of communities and regions.

Pressure mounts on Boris Johnson to quit as papers report on moves by Tory rebels to take control of key backbench committee

The crisis engulfing Boris Johnson’s premiership could be reaching the terminal stage, judging by the press reaction to the Tories’ humiliating double byelection losses in Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton.

The Daily Telegraph, the traditional voice of the Conservative party, carries a splash with the headline “Tory rebels plot next move to unseat PM”, and reports that the prime minister’s “enemies to push for control of 1922 committee after by-election defeats”.

Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers and Idles are among the artists at the festival who have commented on the controversial supreme court decision

Billie Eilish led a chorus of condemnation from artists at Glastonbury festival after the US supreme court overturned a constitutional right to abortion in the states.

The 20-year-old singer was performing on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage when she decried the controversial ruling.

The Pyramid stage’s youngest ever headliner looks entirely at home, giving an imperious, hugely engaging performance

It’s not just that Billie Eilish is, as she’s keen to point out, the youngest headliner in Glastonbury’s history … it’s that she’s the first mainstream pop star – as in the kind of pop star that tweenage girls scream at – to headline Glastonbury. A few years ago, the announcement of an artist like that filling the main Friday night slot on the Pyramid stage would probably have generated a degree of controversy. Some berk would have got up a petition about it. But in 2022, the appearance of Billie Eilish’s name at the top of the bill passed without comment.

Whether that’s evidence that Glastonbury’s audience is skewing younger, or that Glastonbury is becoming more pop-facing in the artists it books, or that Eilish is considered of a slightly different stripe to her peers, is an interesting question. Watching her bounce from the industrial electro pop of You Should See Me in a Crown, to the kitschy lounge stylings of Billie’s Bossanova, to the Beatles-y Getting Older, to the Dr Dre-influenced All the Good Girls Goto Hell, one is struck by the sense that she’s certainly more musically eclectic than most of her peers. And if you get the impression that festivals aren’t necessarily her natural habitat – “you guys are troupers, with your tents and shit”, she opines at one point – from the moment she appears, she looks entirely at home.

• Bronze, Mead, Hemp and Toone on target for Wiegman’s side

The Lionesses strengthened their Euros credentials with a blistering 5-1 dismantling of holders the Netherlands in their penultimate pre-tournament friendly.

Sarina Wiegman’s side was forced to come from behind for the first time during her tenure, but Lucy Bronze scored the reply to Lieke Martens first-half goal before Sherida Sptise powered a penalty off the outside of the post to wake up the lax home team. An instant response from Beth Mead a minute-and-a-half after the penalty put England ahead before Ella Toone and Lauren Hemp scored in quick succession for the, by then, rampant side and Mead added a late fifth.

• Batter ends unbeaten on 130 to lead England’s fightback
• ‘I’ve gone back to young Jonny where I’m seeing the ball’

Two weeks after the astonishing innings of 136 that swung the Trent Bridge Test in England’s favour, Jonny Bairstow produced another from the same thrilling mould, heaving the hosts from the brink of disaster to end the day 264 for six and in arrears by a relatively trivial 65, declaring: “This is the way that I’ve always been capable of playing.”

Bairstow ended the second day unbeaten on 130, having compiled a wild partnership of 209 off 223 balls with the debutant Jamie Overton, every run met with a roar by raucous fans at his home ground. There has been much talk of England’s full-bore positivity under their new coach, Brendon McCullum, and the captaincy of Ben Stokes. Its long-term impact remains to be seen but Bairstow certainly seems a player transformed.

Atalaia do Norte chief says ‘very important testimony’ heard after starting new line of inquiry

Police investigating the murders of journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous advocate Bruno Pereira said they have opened a new line of inquiry examining whether the deaths were the result of an ordered killing.

The pair went missing on 5 June in the remote Javari valley region of the Amazon rainforest. They had been due to return to the riverside town of Atalaia do Norte. Their remains were later discovered by investigators after the arrest of three local men involved in illegal fishing operations in the region.

Civil police chief for Atalaia do Norte, Alex Perez, said that investigators had begun pursuing a fresh line of examination seeking to understand whether the murders had been commissioned by someone other than the men in custody.

“Yesterday we started a new line of investigation into the scale of the crime,” Perez told the Guardian. “We have made the first step, and we have heard some very important testimony.”

Perez declined to provide further details but said the investigation had conducted interviews with almost 20 people. The new line was being pursued by both the local civil police and federal police.

On Thursday, Eduardo Fontes, chief of the federal police in the state of Amazonas, also confirmed to Globo about the new line of inquiry.

“It is possible we have someone who ordered the crime,” Fontes said. “The investigation is still going but we are not going to let any investigative line not be pursued.”

Federal police had initially ruled out any higher involvement in the killing shortly after the men were found. Brazilian vice-president Hamilton Mourão, part of the far-right government, said earlier this week that the crime was the result of a drunken ambush – “something that happened in a moment”.

Perez said investigators’ operating theory was still that murders were a “crime of opportunity” related to a personal dispute between Pereira, a former senior agent with Brazil’s Indigenous protection agency Funai, and the three men, but added: “With the continuation of the investigation we could come to a different conclusion.”

Perez said he expected the investigation to continue beyond two weeks and would require more time to reach further conclusions. Five other suspects, believed to have assisted the three men in moving and burying remains, have yet to be arrested.

Local Indigenous representatives and other expert observers allege the murders were commissioned by a criminal organization in the region.

Witnesses have said that Pereira had been threatened by the murder suspects the day before. It is believed they were worried Pereira had evidence of their illegal fishing trips in the area, the vast majority of which is reserved for Indigenous tribes.

On Thursday a protest in Atalaia do Norte drew about 100 Indigenous people from the region. They called for police to expand the investigation and demanded justice for both men.

“In my land the white man comes to impose fear. But we will not be afraid of the white man,” said Waki Mayuruna, an Indigenous leader and member of the Univaja collective. “We will keep defending our land. It’s not just today, this fight for our land is from long ago. We fight until the last Indian is alive.”

Federal investigators had also begun conducting forensic examination of Pereira’s boat, recovered after the suspects reportedly sunk it in the Itaquaí river after the murder.

The Guardian was permitted to enter the examination area where investigators were conducting 3D modelling.

The visit revealed how the suspected murderer’s boat was much smaller and had a substantially more powerful engine, supporting the police’s theory that Phillips and Pereira were ambushed from behind.

Investigators believed to have found a small shotgun pellet hole on the steering wheel of Pereira’s boat.

From CBD-wide festivals to blockbuster exhibitions, Australia loves a light show. Here’s a guide to where and when to get your light fix

When Vivid launched in 2009, the concept of an Australian festival exclusively focused on large-scale light installations was a novel one. A decade and a half later, they’re everywhere.

This year’s Vivid festival attracted well over a million visitors and there is now a year-round calendar of similar festivals, exhibitions and installations in every state. Illuminate festival in Adelaide launched last year, but its co-artistic director, Lee Cumberlidge, says light festivalsare nothing new, citing examples from the ancient celebration of Diwali to the Fête des Lumières in Lyon, France, which has been running for more than 100 years.

Tim McClelland is one of a number of Australian farmers being forced to rethink the way he operates this year, placing greater reliance on soil science technology in the wake of soaring fertiliser prices.

McClelland, a mixed farmer based in north-western Victoria, is currently paying $1,100 a tonne for fertiliser, up from $650 in 2021, as the rising cost of energy leads to record prices.

Last week the former British prime minister David Cameron made a visit to Sydney to headline a climate conference for Liberals and Nationals organised by the Coalition for Conservation, an organisation dedicated to creating a national platform for the environment across the centre right. He came bearing some important lessons for Liberals if we are to avoid the fate of the Conservatives, who lost three elections before empowering Cameron to modernise his own party.

I have personally heard speeches from three former or future Conservative British prime ministers during my lifetime: Margaret Thatcher in 1993 in the House of Lords, Boris Johnson while foreign secretary, at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, and last week David Cameron.

The Australian doubles act offer one of the wildest rides in tennis but it remains to be seen how they will be received on the genteel lawns of SW19

The rowdier the crowd, the better. Such a plea would usually be as welcome at Wimbledon as Russian and Belarusian players in 2022. But it is the ethos that drives the Special Ks show, coming to the All England Club over the next fortnight and featuring bullet-like serving, blistering forehands and bombastical quotes.

The Australian double act of Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis have played to full houses in Melbourne, Indian Wells and Miami this year, drawing crowds with their thrill-a-minute routine. A doubles match featuring the duo provides one of the wildest rides in tennis, ranging from brilliant to bewildering, occasionally in the same point and certainly in the same game.

Queenstown confuses the eye. The historic town sits in a moonscape valley of bare, sterile hills; a dead river the colour of pumpkin soup runs through its heart. These are the scars of the mine that is the reason the town exists.

Raymond Arnold, an artist, describes approaching Queenstown as dropping into an elsewhere world, sequestered in the ancient, dark rainforest of Tasmania’s wild west coast.

Analysis: Victorian premier has five months to introduce a new leadership group to voters

A lot of comparisons can made between Victorian premiers Daniel Andrews and Jeff Kennett, though, being from opposite sides of politics, neither of them will likely admit it.

Both are considered crash-through leaders, either loved or loathed. Both have shaped their state, either for better or worse – depending on whom you ask.
