Your perfect jeans do exist – you just need to know what to look for Twenty minutes in the changing room is all that stands between you and your forever denims why is it so tricky to shop for jeans? You walk into a store where 2,458 almost-identical slivers of blue denim are stacked in forbiddingly neat piles in front of you. You approach this wall of denim and a sales assistant immediately barks CAN I HELP YOU? in a tone of voice you recognise as code for, “I spent all morning lining those up, madam, and if you so much as lay a finger on my masterpiece I will put a curse on your unborn children.” So, of course, being British you say “Oh no, I’m fine, thank you so much” and peer at the shelves trying to deduce from the obtuse names of the jeans – “Baxter”, say, or “Houston” – which are going to magically make you look like Jane Birkin in St Tropez or Kate Moss at Glastonbury. The labels on jeans are a bit like labels on wine bottles, in that they are dense with geeky vocabulary that means absolutely nothing to the overwhelming majority of people buying them. You just want to know which jeans will make your bum look nice/which bottle of red will not taste of vinegar or leave you feeling poisoned for two days. When I’m looking at a pair of jeans, the weight in ounces of the fabric per yard is about as helpful as the topographical details of the vineyard when I’m choosing a bottle wine. The best jeans aren’t improved by logos. All that really matters is the rise, leg shape and degree of stretch But don’t give up, because your perfect jeans are here, I promise. The great thing about jeans is that there is no single, exclusive, expensive iteration that is the perfect jean. This is the ultimate democratic fashion item. The best jeans aren’t in a more expensive fabric – cashmere is not a plus here – and they are never, ever improved by logos or sparkly bits. All that really matters is the rise, the leg shape, and the degree of stretch. Elizabeth Radcliffe is Levi’s master tailor, and if you have £750 to spend she will bring her Savile Row training to creating a bespoke pair of jeans in her Soho atelier just for you. She knows more than probably anyone else about the tweaks and tricks that make jeans work, and a while ago I spent an illuminating half an hour trying on jeans with her, and downloading her wisdom to share with you. It turns out that the most flattering rise of waistband, on me and on lots of women, is neither a low-rise nor a rib-kissing high waistband, but one that sits about an inch below the belly button at the front and curves up and away at the sides to sit slightly higher at the back, so that it hooks over your hipbones and doesn’t gape. Also, a mid to heavyweight of denim works best on most women, with just enough give that the silhouette can hug a curve but with enough structure to belt you in around the waist. And I learned that the lowest point of the back pocket should sit slightly above the crease at the top of your leg, to create a visual distinction between bottom and thigh. Lizzie had me sitting down and standing up, shoes on and off, hem up or under, to figure out which leg shape and length worked best. I prefer a jean that releases from the leg, so straight styles work for me; if you like denim that clings to your shape, you will want a skinny or bootcut. Wriggling in and out of clothes in changing rooms is no one’s idea of fun, but there are no shortcuts. Try on as many pairs as you can face. Oh, and don’t get hung up on size. My favourite pair of jeans are a vintage pair of 1990s 501s. The waist measurement on that label is three inches bigger than identically sized jeans bought recently. Modern vanity sizing in action, you see: brands have figured out that if a customer fits into a smaller size than she expects to, she will be chuffed and therefore minded to buy. This is daft on all fronts, so please don’t fall for it. Don’t look at the size label, look in the mirror. Twenty minutes in the changing room is all that stands between you and your for ever jeans. Put the time in now, and they will pay you back for the next 20 years. Model: Lilly Bridger at Body London. Hair and make up: Carol Morley at Carol Hayes Management. Jeans: Levi’s

A major prisoner swap between warring sides in Yemen is under way, seen as part of stepped-up efforts to end the devastating eight-year conflict there. Red Cross officials said 318 prisoners had been flown on four flights between the rebel-held capital, Sanaa, and government-held Aden. About 900 prisoners are expected to be exchanged over the next three days. The war between rebels and pro-government Saudi-led forces has left tens of thousands of Yemenis dead. It has also created what the UN has called one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with some 80% of the po[CENSORED]tion forced to rely on food aid to survive. The exchange - the largest since late 2020 - is seen as a confidence-building measure, following talks earlier this week in Sanaa between a Saudi delegation and Houthi rebels aimed at reaching a new and potentially permanent ceasefire. Why is there a war in Yemen? The talks were facilitated by Oman, which shares a border with both Saudi Arabia and Yemen and has played a key role in attempts to broker an end to the fighting for years. There has been increased momentum towards ending the war since Saudi Arabia and the Houthis resumed direct on-off talks last year. Hopes were furthered when Saudi Arabia and its powerful rival Iran - the Houthis' main backer - agreed last month to restore relations after a bitter seven-year rift. Despite the failure to renew a UN-brokered six-month ceasefire in October, there has been a sharp decline in fighting, accompanied by some steps to ease tensions. They include the easing of restrictions on imports and prisoner exchanges, agreed in negotiations in Switzerland last month. There are believed to be thousands of prisoners held by both sides. "With this act of goodwill, hundreds of families torn apart by conflict are being reunited during the holy month of Ramadan, providing a glimmer of hope amidst great suffering," said Fabrizio Carboni, regional director of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in 2015, when the Houthis seized control of large parts of the west of the country. President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi fled abroad and a Saudi-led alliance of Arab states intervened to restore his rule. However, years of military stalemate have followed. The fighting has reportedly left more than 150,000 people dead and more than 23 million people - three-quarters of the po[CENSORED]tion - in need of some form of aid.

Nurses could strike until Christmas, said the Royal College of Nursing's leader, as she warned it would not pause a 48-hour strike in England over the first May bank holiday. General secretary Pat Cullen told the BBC the government needed to put more money on the table. But she had "no plans" to co-ordinate strikes with those by junior doctors. Conservative party chairman Greg Hands said the government's pay offer was "fair and reasonable". Asked whether it is was a final offer, he told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg the government needed to wait to see what other heath service unions involved in the pay dispute decided in their ballots and pointed out it had already been accepted by Unison members. The government has offered a 5% pay rise in 2023/24 and one-payment of at least £1,655. The RCN leader had initially called for this deal to be accepted but members voted to reject it by 54% to 46%, while the Unite and the GMB unions will announce the result of their ballots in two weeks' time. Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting told the same programme he was "really worried" about strike action by nurses and not in support of it because of the risks to patients' safety. The RCN strike will involve NHS nurses in emergency departments, intensive care, cancer and other wards, which would be a first as the previous nurses' strike in February included exemptions to maintain staffing in critical areas. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Hands said the offer amounted to an extra £5,100 for a typical band 5 NHS worker. Health Secretary Steve Barclay also said in a letter to the RCN that a nurse at the top of band 5 would get "over £5,000" extra. He added he would welcome a meeting with the RCN and feared no strike exemptions will "put patients at risk". When are nurses and junior doctors striking? Ms Cullen said that after the walkout from 20:00 BST on 30 April to 20:00 on 2 May, the union would "move immediately to ballot our members" on their next move. "If that ballot is successful it will mean further strike action right up until Christmas," she added. She rejected calls from ministers to pause strike action, revealing she had received a letter from Mr Barclay asking for this half-an-hour before she came on air. She said the letter was "disrespectful" to nurses and claimed the health secretary had spent longer writing in the Sun on Sunday newspaper than responding to nurses. In the paper, Mr Barclay warned the strikes would mean more cancelled operations and postponed treatment - and "none of this is good for the NHS or patients". Ms Cullen urged the health secretary and the government to join her union at the negotiating table "very quickly", adding: "And start to put more money on the table, start treat nurses with a bit of decency and a bit of respect." Asked why RCN nurses rejected the government's pay offer despite the union's leadership recommending it, Ms Cullen said the members believed it was "neither fair nor reasonable".

A tiny frog, smaller than a 10p coin, has survived a journey of more than 3,000 miles in a bunch of bananas delivered to a supermarket in the UK. Jannet Giovinazzo, 71, discovered the creature last week while unpacking her shopping in Epsom, Surrey. She said she was "very surprised" to spot the amphibian, which has since been named Lidl. Whilst the small hitchhiker took a nap near a radiator after its epic journey, Ms Giovinazzo called the RSPCA. She said: "I always make a habit of checking fruit for any creatures that may have climbed inside. "I'm usually worried I'm going to find a spider in there. I was very surprised indeed to spot the little frog. "It was a nice surprise though, he was very cute." Ms Giovinazzo said she believed it to be a Mount Nimba reed frog from the Ivory Coast. She said: "I knew he would be used to temperatures much warmer than we have here, so I popped him safely inside a little tub which was well-ventilated and put him near the radiator. "He looked very happy there, having a little snooze." The frog was taken to a reptile rescue centre by Louis Horton, an RSPCA animal rescue officer. "Lidl was in very good health and will spend some time at the RSPCA centre before being rehomed by someone able to care for his specialist requirements," he said.
