Dear Reader,

Britain's evacuation of Afghanistan is now over, but it cannot be said that it is complete. Many eligible people have been left behind. The Telegraph tells the troubling stories of just a few of those the UK has failed to bring to safety. Among those who made it out are a number of Afghan special forces. We report today on how they could join the British armed forces as Gurkha-style commandos.

Summer, or what there has been of it, may nearly be over, but there are still plenty of ways to make the most of what is left. Jack Rear lists 50 things to do, from festivals and food to arts and nature, before the autumn truly arrives.

The return of freedom may have led to more than a little indulgence over recent weeks. If you need a reset, look no further than this two-week plan from the nutritionist to the Royal family, Gabriela Peacock.

Telegraph columnist Celia Walden has turned her hand to thriller writing for her latest book. Ahead of its publication, she talked to Lisa Armstrong about why she chose the genre, the realities of being married to Piers Morgan and the public fallouts and death threats that stem from being opinionated and in the limelight.
