4 min Palace play it nicely out from the back before Fabian Schär decides to try a first-time hit from around the halfway line, perhaps in the belief that Henderson, in the Palace net, was dozing. He wasn’t.

2 min … Palace avoid any set-piece drama before Newcastle knock it about in defence.

2 min: Bayern’s are pressing absurdly high, and forcing Inter’s full-backs to go long. But the third hopeful ball forward finds Thuram, whose neat flick helps to release Darmian down Inter’s right. The ball is crossed low and after a nervy dalliance in Bayern’s defence, Urbig surges forward to collect the ball impressively. That will do the young keeper a world of good.

We are off at San Siro.

“Is there really any point watching this game?” asks Matt Dony. “I mean, is there really any point even playing it in the first place? It’s Madrid in Europe. We all know what’s going to happen. They’ll have a blindingly good 10-minute spell towards the end of the first half, where they score two goals. There’ll be a scruffy third goal around the 70th minute, then they’ll willpower a winner sometime after the 87th minute. And there is nothing Arsenal can do about it.”

The emergence of the Arsenal players for their warm-up is the cue for the home fans to pay tribute to Joe Root. The noise is quite something, especially as we’re still half an hour away from kick off.

Indiana University leads the push for a pact among 18 institutions as Donald Trump targets diversity

Faculty members from US universities – including public ones which do not receive endowments – are banding together in attempts to resist the Donald Trump administration’s attacks on academic freedoms.

This month, Indiana University’s Bloomington faculty council followed in the footsteps of Rutgers University in passing a resolution to establish a pact with all 18 universities under the Big 10 academic alliance to defend academic freedoms.

Harvey Weinstein asks to be allowed to sleep in hospital not jail during retrial

by Associated Press on April 16, 2025 at 7:25 pm

Lawyers say conditions at Rikers and stress of trial on ailing ex-studio boss may ‘lead to serious health complications’

Harvey Weinstein’s lawyers asked a judge on Wednesday to allow the ailing ex-studio boss to spend his nights at a New York City hospital instead of jail for the duration of his #MeToo rape retrial.

Weinstein’s lawyers made the request as jury selection resumed for a second day. The 73-year-old disgraced movie mogul arrived in court in a wheelchair, as he has at all of his recent court appearances.

‘Tormented … but I don’t feel down’: Rose opens up on Masters heartache

Englishman lost in playoff at Augusta for second time
‘I could really sense what it would be like to win it’

Justin Rose says he feels “tormented” by a feeling of what might have been after losing a second Masters playoff. Eight years after losing out to Sergio Garcia at Augusta National, Rose was beaten on the first extra hole by Rory McIlroy, who holed from short range for birdie after Rose’s attempt had narrowly missed.

Rose had started the final round seven shots behind McIlroy, but made his 10th birdie of the day on the 18th in a closing 66 to set the clubhouse target, with McIlroy then missing from five feet for the title in regulation.

In Sweden, I got paid time off to settle my child at school. Here’s why I want US families to have the same right

by Lauren LaFauci on April 16, 2025 at 7:03 pm

Parents can do inskolning as part of their 480 days of paid leave per child – as an American abroad, this was a foreign concept. But here’s what the US could learn

About a month ago, I sat on a tiny wooden chair, hand-embroidering a thick cotton pillowcase in dim candlelight. Eight Swedish children softly sang a good morning song over tiny cups of peach-colored herbal tea.

This is not a tale of a tradwife textile artist living off the grid in the Swedish countryside or the opening of some eerie Midsommar-style folk horror scene. It was the first day of my three-year-old’s inskolning, the introductory period to her new daycare/preschool.

RFK Jr contradicts experts by linking autism rise to ‘environmental toxins’

US health secretary bucks expert opinion as research shows rise in diagnoses due to better tools and screening

The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, said in his first press conference that the significant and recent rise in autism diagnoses was evidence of an “epidemic” caused by an “environmental toxin”, which would be rooted out by September.

Autism advocates and health experts have repeatedly stated the rise in diagnoses is related to better recognition of the condition, changing diagnostic criteria and better access to screening. Many also reject the label of an “epidemic”, arguing that neurodivergence should be valued.
