The 31-year-old British actress posted an Instagram story about the joke on US TV show Saturday Night Live (SNL), in which comedian Sarah Sherman used exaggerated prosthetic teeth to do an impression of her. In the skit, titled The White Potus, Donald Trump and his family were reimagined as The White Lotus's Ratliff family, dealing with the backlash to the US president's recently introduced tariffs. The third season of Mike White's hit hotel drama has just concluded on Sky Atlantic. While the other characters in the skit were shown in the guise of real-life political figures, Wood, who plays Chelsea in the show, was shown in character talking about a monkey. Wood, who shot to fame on Netflix's Sex Education, said she was the only character in the piece that was "punched down on". She also said a part of the parody that joked about fluoride, following recent debates in the US as to if it should be removed from the tap water, was missing the point as she has "big gap teeth not bad teeth". Wood wrote: "Yes, take the piss for sure - that's what the show is about - but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?" The Stockport-born star also flagged Sherman's poor attempt at a Mancunian accent. But Wood went on to say that she wasn't "hating" on Sherman personally, just "on the concept". Wood also flagged an online comment that said: "It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970s misogyny," adding, "This sums up my view". After sharing her opinions, Wood said she had received "thousands of messages in agreement" and so was "glad I said something".

One, from an unnamed fan, said she too had "a big gap" in her teeth, as well as "an overbite" and that while she had been previously considering "spending thousands on fixing it," seeing Wood look "gorgeous" on The White Lotus had made her reconsider. Wood said SNL has since apologised to her. Wood previously said, during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, that the positive reception to her performance was "a real full-circle moment after being bullied for my teeth forever". NBC, which airs SNL, has been contacted for comment.

Popstar Katy Perry, author Lauren Sanchez, journalist and TV presenter Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn are due to launch in Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket today. It will be the latest flight of the New Shepard programme, named NS-31, and is aiming to "create a lasting impact that will inspire generations", with the women forming the first all-female crew since Russian engineer Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight to space in 1963. The trip is only expected to last around 11 minutes, with the reusable self-driving rocket taking off from Launch Site One in West Texas, at 8.30am local time (2.30pm BST). It will reach a maximum height of 100km (62 miles) above Earth, with the women technically entering space as the capsule crosses the Karman line, which is internationally recognised as the boundary of space. They will not, however, be classed as astronauts by the Federal Aviation Administration, NASA or US military, which all have different eligibility requirements for people to become commercial astronauts. While in space, the crew will have about four minutes of weightlessness to float around and take in the views of Earth from the capsule's large windows. The crew capsule will then descend back to Earth using three parachutes. So far, 52 people have been taken into space as part of billionaire and Amazon chief Mr Bezos's programme, including the man himself, who joined the New Shepard's maiden voyage in 2021. Star Trek actor William Shatner became the oldest person in space when he joined the mission at the age of 90. How the crew was picked Mr Bezos' fiancee is leading the mission. Sanchez told Elle magazine she chose her fellow crew members because each had "proven their ability to inspire others". She said all the women will be able to spread the word on what they felt like during the trip, and also expand on ideas of what the next generation of space explorers will look like. Perry, who is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, told Elle that she has been wanting to go to space for almost 20 years, so it was a no-brainer when she got the call. She said: "Even when Blue Origin was first talking about commercial travel to space, I was like, 'Sign me up! I'm first in line'. And then they called me, and I was like, 'Really? I get an invite?'." For King, who is best known as the co-host of US breakfast show CBS Mornings, the decision wasn't quite so easy. "When I got the call from Lauren and Jeff, my first reaction was a no," she said, adding that she still has "a lot of trepidation" ahead of the trip. Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist and chief executive of technology company STEMBoard, said she feels like she has been "training for and waiting for this moment [her] entire life", while civil rights activist Nguyen and film producer Flynn both said the opportunity was a dream come true. "I can't wait to touch down on Earth and share what we bring back with the world," Flynn said. Glammed-up astronauts? As well as making history by being the first all-female crew in space, the women may also be the first group of astronauts to have their hair and makeup done for a mission. "Who would not get glam before the flight," Sanchez said, before joking that fake eyelashes would be "flying round the capsule". Bowe said she had already tested out the hairstyle she plans to have on launch day - by skydiving in Dubai. "I think it's so important for people to see us like that," Nguyen said. "This dichotomy of engineer and scientist, and then beauty and fashion. We contain multitudes. Women are multitudes. I'm going to be wearing lipstick." Perry put it another way: "We are going to put the 'ass' in astronaut." The women also shared details of what they plan to take to space, including the original flag from Apollo 12 - the second mission to the moon - a stuffed animal, shells from Malaysia, and conch chowder, the national dish of The Bahamas, which Bowe grew up eating.

She added that she is also taking part in the flight for her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, who she shares with British actor Orlando Bloom, to teach her that "any type of person can reach their dreams".

Lyle, 57, and Erik, 54, received life sentences without the possibility of parole after being convicted of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. Lyle was 21 at the time, Erik was 18. Last year, Los Angeles district attorney George Gascon asked a judge to change the brothers' sentence from life without the possibility of parole to 50 years to life. That would make them immediately eligible for parole because they committed the crime when they were younger than 26. But Mr Gascon's successor Nathan Hochman submitted a motion last month to withdraw the resentencing request, saying the brothers must fully acknowledge lies they told about the murder of their parents before he would support their release from prison. Separately, Governor Gavin Newsom, who has the power to commute their sentences, has asked the parole board to consider whether the brothers would represent a public safety risk if released. In light of Mr Hochman's opposition, Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Michael Jesic ruled on Friday that the court can move forward with the hearing. "Everything you argued today is absolutely fair game for the resentencing hearing next Thursday," he said. From prison, the brothers watched through a video link and could be seen in court seated next to each other in blue prison uniforms. Speaking after the hearing, the brothers' lawyer said: "Today is a good day. Justice won over politics." Read more:Menendez brothers 'hopeful' they will be freed - but could it actually happen? Prosecutors accused the brothers of killing their parents for a multimillion-dollar inheritance, although their defence team argued they acted out of self-defence after years of sexual abuse by their father. The brothers have maintained their parents abused them since they were first charged with the murders. A Netflix drama series and subsequent documentary about the brothers thrust them back into the spotlight last year, and led to renewed calls for their release - including from some members of their family.

Marsh's friend, director Sir Michael Lindsay-Hogg, said in a statement to the PA news agency that the actress "died peacefully in bed looked after by one of her very loving carers". "You could say we were very close for 60 years," he added. "She was as wise and funny as anyone I ever met, as well as being very pretty and kind, and talented as both an actress and writer. "An instinctively empathetic person who was loved by everyone who met her. We spoke on the phone almost every day for the past 40 years." Marsh was best known for her role as Rose in Upstairs, Downstairs, for which she won an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a limited series in 1976. She co-created the series - about life in Edwardian England - with Dame Eileen Atkins. Born on 1 July 1934 in Stoke Newington, north London, Marsh's mother worked in a bar and as a theatre dresser, while her father was a handyman and printer's assistant. Marsh took dance and mime classes as therapy for an illness at a young age, and began acting on stage with a stint at Huddersfield Rep in the 1950s. She then transferred to London, and at just 12 years old made her West End debut in The Land Of The Christmas Stockings at The Duke of York's Theatre. A success in the US, Marsh appeared in iconic shows such as The Twilight Zone, Danger Man, Hawaii Five-O and Murder, She Wrote. She also made appearances in classic British shows, including Doctor Who - where she played William Hartnell's short-lived companion Sara Kingdom, among other appearances - and Detective. Marsh also had film roles in 1988's Willow, 1972's Frenzy, and 1976's The Eagle Has Landed.

The climate activist, who was played by Julia Roberts in the movie, told Sky News: "My girlfriend, who was a chiropractor, was giving me a chiropractic adjustment and asked me why I had mud on my stilettos. "I said, 'Oh, I've been collecting dead frogs'. She goes, 'What is wrong with you?' So, I started telling her what I was doing." Then just a junior paralegal, Brockovich was in fact pulling together evidence that would see her emerge victorious from one of the largest cases of water contamination in US history in Hinkley, California. Her hard work would see her win a record settlement from Pacific Gas & Electric Company - $333m (£254m) - but that was all still to come. Little did Brockovich know, but her tale of a muddy stiletto would get back to actor Danny DeVito and his Jersey Films producing partner Michael Schamburg, and through them to the film's director Steven Soderbergh. Brockovich says Soderbergh was "wowed" by what he heard. She says he realised her image "was something that Hollywood might be drawn to that I was never thinking of - the short skirt, the attitude, the big bust, the stilettos, the backcombed hair. Somehow, it came together." 'I was always going to be misunderstood' Released in 2000, the powerful story of one woman's fight for justice made Brockovich a household name, and the film won actress Julia Roberts an Oscar. Now, 25 years on, Brockovich says she believes her legal victory was helped in part by an unlikely ally - her learning difficulty. Brockovich says: "Had I not been dyslexic, I might have missed Hinkley." Recently named a global ambassador for charity Made By Dyslexia, she's been aware of her learning differences since childhood and still struggles today. She says "moments of low self-esteem" still "creep back in", and she long ago accepted "I was always going to be misunderstood". But for Brockovich, recognising her dyslexic strengths while working in Hinkley proved a pivotal moment: "My observations are wickedly keen. I feel like a human radar some days… Things you might not see as a pattern, I recognise. There are things that intuitively, I absolutely know. "It will take me some time in my visual patterns of what I'm seeing, how to organise that. And it was in Hinkley that that moment happened for me because it was so omnipresent [and] in my face. Everything that should have been normal was not." 'A huge perfect storm' Brockovich paints a bleak picture of what she saw in the small town: "The trees were secreting poison, the cows were covered in tumours, the chickens had wry neck [a neurological condition that causes the head to tilt abnormally], the people were sick and unbeknown to them, I knew they were all having the exact same health patterns. To the green water, to the two-headed frog, all of that was just I was like on fire, like electricity going, 'Oh my gosh, what's going on out here?'" She describes it as "a huge, perfect storm that came together for me in Hinkley". But a side effect of the movie - overnight global fame - wasn't always easy to deal with. Brockovich calls it "scary," admitting, "when the film first came out the night of the premiere, I was literally shaking so bad, I was so overwhelmed, that Universal Studios said, 'If we can't get you to calm down, I think we need to take you home'. It was a lot". Brockovich says she kept grounded by staying focused on her work, her family and her three children. With Hollywood not always renowned for its faithful adherence to fact, Brockovich says the film didn't whitewash the facts. "I think they really did a good job at pointing out our environmental issues. Hollywood can do that, they can tell a good story. And I'm glad it was not about fluff and glamour. I'm glad it was about a subject that oftentimes we don't want to talk about. Water pollution, environmental damage. People being poisoned." 'Defend ourselves against environmental assaults' While environmental awareness is now part of the daily conversation in a way it wasn't a quarter of a century ago, the battle to protect the climate is far from over. Just last month, Donald Trump laid out plans to slash over 30 climate and environmental regulations as part of an ongoing effort to boost US industries from coal to manufacturing and ramp up oil and minerals production. In response, Brockovich says, "We're not going to stop it, but we can defend against these environmental assaults. "We can do better with infrastructure. We can do better on a lot of policy-making. I think there's a moment here. We have to do that because the old coming into the new isn't working. "I've recognised the patterns for 30-plus years, we just keep doing the same thing over and over and over and over again, expecting a different result. "For me, sometimes it's like, 'Oh my gosh, just get your ego out of the way'. We have to accept that this might be something greater than us, but we can certainly defend ourselves and protect ourselves and prepare ourselves better so we can get through that storm."
