The bottom line

£3.6bn

How much the Church of England says it will spend in its 12,500 parishes over the next nine years, representing a 30% increase in funding, says The Guardian. The money will support good works such as food banks and environmental work.

€265m

The cost to Dijon of building the Cité de la Gastronomie, a vast centre exhibiting the grandeur of Gallic cuisine, with restaurants and a 3,000-bottle wine cellar. Dijon, along with Tours, Lyon and Paris, is vying to be the unofficial culinary capital of France.

$400,000

The value of a 0.54-carat “fancy vivid” purplish pink diamond from the legendary Argyle mine in Australia. The valuation is based on the offering of 2,000 shares at $200 each as part of a new coloured diamonds fractional ownership scheme being launched by Luxus.

£600,000

The asking price for Trehane House, a Grade II-listed early 18th-century manor house in 5.5 acres of Cornwall. The building, however, is little more than a shell, having burnt down in 1946, without insurance.

It has been described as the ultimate “doer-upper”.

The club estimates the 21-year-old’s market value to be closer to €200m. Haaland, whose father played for City, grew up a fan of the team.
