Alicia Vikander's guide to London: Claridge's, book shops and Lime biking
I'm preparing to return to the stage, for Simon Stone's new version of Henrik Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea at the Bridge Theatre. I'm so excited. I've been secretly waiting for the day when this will come. My mother was a stage actress, and in Sweden there are not that many films or TV shows being made, so if you are an actor you are on stage.

Man Utd lose post-season match against ASEAN All-Stars
Update: Date: 15:45 BST Title: That's all for now Content: That's it from us for this live text. Manchester United fall to a 1-0 loss against the ASEAN All-Stars in a hot and humid Kuala Lumpur. After a long 2024-25 campaign, they can almost see the finish line with one more post-season game to come in Hong Kong against their national side on Friday. Thanks for joining us! Update: Date: 15:44 BST Title: Man Utd beaten Content: FT: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Simon StoneBBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia I am not sure Manchester United's players are that happy to be here in the first place. Even less so now. Update: Date: 15:42 BST Title: FULL-TIME Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Manchester United's wait for successive victories goes on. The last time they won back-to-back games was March. Maung Maung Lwin's second-half strike guides the ASEAN All-Stars to victory. Update: Date: 90+5 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Jim Thwaites has surely just denied ASEAN All-Stars the chance to grab a second. The hosts break and it's two v two. Adrian Segecic, who laid on the assist for the opener, was set to pull the trigger until Thwaites recovered with a goal-saving challenge. Update: Date: 90+4 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd We're into the fourth minute of additional time and the referee is more than happy for the ball to be bounced around midfield with no real intent. Is this necessary? Update: Date: 90+3 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Harry Amass wins Manchester United a corner. ASEAN All-Stars stand firm again. Update: Date: 90+2 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd No indication as to how long we will have added on here. We had three minutes at the end of the first-half. Update: Date: 90+2 mins Title: YELLOW CARD Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Manchester United youngster Godwill Kukonki picks the first booking of the game as he prevents the ASEAN All-Stars from breaking on the counter. Update: Date: 90 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd A frustrated Alejandro Garnacho hits from range. It's a good 25 yards out on the angle and he's off balance. It goes high over the bar. Update: Date: 15:34 BST Title: False start Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Simon StoneBBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia Ruben Amorim said yesterday Manchester United were making a fresh start today. He will probably be revising those words after this match. United chief executive Omar Berrada spoke to MUTV ahead of the game. This is part of what he said. "Ruben is right - the past is in the past," he said. "It's important to learn and now we need to stay together, stay united. "I can only say again thanks to the fans and the owners have also been very supportive in this transition year. "Now we need to work really hard to do everything we can to bring the club back to the top. "I'm very excited by what is coming ahead of us. Like Ruben said, now we just need to work really hard, as a unit and as a club, and I'm sure the good days will be back, as he said." Update: Date: 89 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Manchester United could still force penalties here if they can grab an equaliser in the time that remains - two minutes of regulation and whatever is added on. Update: Date: 87 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd I don't know how long the ASEAN All-Stars had to train and prepare for this game but as a team assembled of players from 10 different nations, they are working incredibly well as a unit. They are set in a strong defensive shape and not allowing Manchester United room to play through them. Update: Date: 85 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Bruno Fernandes drills from the edge of the box and it's charged down. Sums up Manchester United's afternoon (night over in Kuala Lumpur). Update: Date: 82 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Bruno Fernandes clips an inviting ball into the box for Amad Diallo and the winger is unable to make solid contact to test the goalkeeper. The flag belatedly goes up for offside so it wouldn't have counted. Update: Date: 81 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd You do have to feel for the Manchester United players in these conditions, though. Still 30 degrees with 75% humidity as we approach 22:30 in Kuala Lumpur. Update: Date: 80 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd The smash and grab is firmly on here. A tactical masterclass from the ASEAN All-Stars to lure Manchester United in and then hit on the counter. Update: Date: 78 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Jim Thwaites tries to get Manchester United back on level terms when arriving late on the edge of the box. A lack of composure sees the ball comfortably over the bar. Update: Date: 15:22 BST Title: Man Utd go behind Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Simon StoneBBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia The supporters had just given a rendition of 'Glory, Glory Man Utd' when their cheering was cut short by a really well taken goal from Maung Maung Lwin. Lwin comes from Myanmar and currently plays in the Thai league. I know this is a post-season match but that wasn't part of the script. Just over 72,000 here by the way. Update: Date: 76 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo stand over a free-kick around 25 yards out. Diallo is the one to strike but it's disappointingly into the goalkeepers hands. Update: Date: 75 mins Title: Post Content: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Man Utd Maung Maung Lwin plays his domestic football for Lamphun Warriors in Thailand's top division. The 29-year-old is a Myanmar international and now has a tale to tell the family for years to come. That's the first-ever goal scored by ASEAN All-Stars too.
