HAMBURG - Jordan's state grains buyer has issued an international tender to purchase up to 120,000 metric tons of animal feed barley, European traders said on Thursday.

Race Across the World's reunion episode was a charming farewell to one of its best series

Nobody really needed Race Across the World: The Reunion (BBC One). The race finished last week in an entirely satisfactory manner. However, the BBC likes to flog a hit for all its worth, so viewers got this follow-up programme anyway. I'm glad we did. It was a suitably life-affirming farewell to a heartwarming series.

HAMBURG - Chicago soyoil hit its highest in around 18 months on Monday, supported by U.S. biofuel blending proposals that are likely to increase demand, while favourable U.S. weather conditions drove wheat and corn lower. Crude oil fell after renewed military strikes by Israel and Iran over the weekend left oil production and export facilities unaffected, easing concern about disruption of crude supplies.

Cynics might scoff at "sob stories". I'd call it reflectiveness at the end of an epic journey. Producers ramp up the emotional stakes, of course, but such are the ebbs and flows of human relationships. Brian and Melvyn had drifted apart but bonded again in their 60s. Naturally, the wry Northerners refused to say they loved each other. Tom helped Caroline rediscover her sense of purpose. Elizabeth and Letitia's strained relationship was now repaired.

Preachy scripts, CBBC-worthy villains, falling ratings... The 15th Doctor's short trip in the Tardis was not a success. What went wrong? The Doctor has just been exterminated - but not by Daleks. This time, it was by the BBC. After mounting speculation that leading actor Ncuti Gatwa had been sacked from Doctor Who, Saturday's series finale saw him regenerate into the Time Lord's next incarnation sooner than planned.
Doctor Who finale review: Goodbye Ncuti Gatwa, hello Billie Piper

Amid mounting speculation about actor Ncuti Gatwa's future on Doctor Who (BBC One), an overwrought mess of a finale saw him regenerate into the show's next star - played, in a head-swivelling plot twist, by ex-companion Billie Piper. As the BBC continuity announcer said: "What? What? " The credits rolled on a whopping great cliffhanger - but one more about the show's future than the identity of the next Time Lord.

"I've discovered the joy of hate-watching," says Miranda in the new series of And Just Like That... (Sky Comedy). The character is referring to her new-found obsession with a fictional Love Island-alike reality show called Bi Bingo. Yet she might have been talking about the Sex and the City spin-off itself.
