The news broke in the Russian media on Monday afternoon. King Charles III was dead. He was not, but no one really had time to check the details. The saga of the royal family finally had its latest twist: a viral Russian disinformation angle.
The rumour went into overdrive when it was shared on a Telegram channel used by Vedomosti, once Russiaas most respected business newspaper. There was a photo of Charles in ceremonial military uniform and the curt caption: aBritish King Charles III has died.a It made it through Russian internet channels, including Readovka, a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel with more than 2.35 million subscribers.

Observers say Russian leaderas election numbers approaching 90% mark final break with western conventions
Vladimir Putin is approaching the electoral outer limits. Claiming a record landslide on Sunday of 87.28% of the vote on a 77.44% turnout, Putin has launched himself into the stratosphere of post-Soviet election results.
It is a mathematical axiom for any president-for-life: support should never go down, only up; turnout should never go down, only up. And as Putinas one-man rule extends past a quarter of a century, Russian officials retain straight faces even as they post astronomical numbers that would make many convinced autocrats blush.

Ban on female members appears not to have deterred senior figures in the government, Whitehall, the arts and the law
Around the turn of this century, a change to Garrick Club rules finally granted female guests permission to walk up and down the vast, oil painting-lined staircase that leads up from the grand entrance hall to the bars and libraries on the first floor.
However, most women invited to the club will still find they are immediately ushered on arrival by the hall porter towards a side door and a smaller, narrower staircase to hang up their coats upstairs.

Before we go to the Business Connect conference in Warwickshire, a quick apreviously in Tory endgamea: Rishi Sunak was under pressure, as even Conservative MPs who thought that however bad he was, changing leaders would be worse, were starting to revise their view. Penny Mordauntas name had been floated, but she was commonly thought of as the stalking horse candidate, for the more plausible Kemi Badenoch (at this point, you just have to imagine inverted commas round all the adjectives, a kind of awho-are-these-people?a confetti). Rishi had threatened a general election if people didnat stop challenging his leadership. Kemi had told everyone not to be silly.
And then the pair arrived before the burghers of Coventry and Warwickshire, to tell them how great the Conservatives were going to be for small businesses. Sunak had three main announcements: cutting taxes, cutting red tape and creating 20,000 apprenticeships. It was pretty dry fare.

An Irish couple go missing in New Zealand, and a Dublin detective flies in to investigate a but why? As we meet the local MAori community, this crime drama becomes almost a mood piece
If you can forgive the ponderous opening episode and its slightly by-numbers feel, there is much to enjoy in the new six-part police drama The Gone.
When a young Irish couple go missing during a stay in New Zealand, hardbitten-slash-maverick Dublin detective Theo Richter (Richard Flood) flies over to help the local cops investigate, despite the fact that he has just handed in his resignation after 20 years for no reason he is willing to give to his superiors. Unresolved trauma from an old case? Burdened by a secret sorrow? Something is prompting him to pick fights and find distraction in getting beaten to a pulp by thugs, and no doubt weall find out soon enough.
The Gone is on BBC Four and is available on BBC iPlayer, and on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video in Australia.

There are many good reasons for Rishi Sunak to postpone a general election. All are about reducing his partyas potential loss of seats. There is also an overwhelming reason for calling one now. It is in the national interest.
British government needs an act of cleansing. It needs renewal and a fresh start under a new regime. Every month that start is delayed has a cost in decisions postponed.

Itas great giving blood when youare O negative. I do absolutely nothing to produce this stuff, I donat even drink water very often, and yet I have these constant, positive interactions with the donation people.

Sometimes theyall randomly send me a badge or a plastic bracelet saying afirst respondera on it, which makes me sound like a hero who ran, didnat walk, towards an emergency, as opposed to what I am: a person who goes into town once every four months for 20 minutes of no-big-deal and gets given a pint of squash and an orange Club at the end of it.

An entirely human-made tragedy is under way as the world looks on. Israel must open the crossings for aid and aid workers now
Here in the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat. Doctors have been warning for months that the Israeli militaryas five-month long bombardment and siege of Gaza would end in hunger and starvation. Today, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has reported that famine is aimminenta and will take hold in the north of Gaza over the coming two months. Half of the population across Gaza now faces catastrophic levels of hunger, nearly twice as many people as reported in November. Children are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government continues to throttle aid at the border crossing into Gaza while the international community watches on. The tiny amount of aid that is allowed to enter is either being prevented from getting to people, especially in the north, or is being chaotically distributed, leaving people desperately scrambling for whatever they can get their hands on. This is stripping my community of its dignity while leaving the most vulnerable without any help at all. Hundreds of people have even paid with their lives trying to get food for their families.

Helping children detach from the zeitgeist feels important in our algorithmic age. Branching out is hard when thereas always more of what you already love
Sharing childhood faves with the kids can be one of the most rewarding and most disappointing parts of parenthood. I will admit that one of the main reasons I was keen to start a family was to indoctrinate a new generation in the film, TV and music that has meant so much to me. Part of this was the arguably noble impulse to share great art with young minds. Part of it was wanting to experience the joy of those young minds discovering things Iad loved at their age. And, yes, part of it was me wanting to drag out my old Doctor Who DVDs.
These viewing sessions havenat always gone to plan. The kids were unmoved by ET a the first time I watched this as an adult I was so distraught that when my wife returned from a night out she assumed a parent had died a but adored Flight of the Navigator, which had left no impression on me.

To suggest success rides on certain technicalities, like talent or a career, gravely underestimates musicas draw, and nowhere is the lie more spectacularly exposed than in karaoke.

Adverts telling us to take services into our own hands are trying to maintain the delusion that we still have a functioning society
One of the beautiful things about adverts is that each one is a kind of window: into the entire thought process that led to it being produced. The television series Mad Men understood this: although I doubt there was quite so much grief and self-torture behind someone thinking, for instance: aMaybe we could use a guy with a giant head to advertise this online bank.a
I often spend journeys on public transport trying to peep through these windows. For instance, over the past few months, I have been seeing posters that in effect state: aFor the love of God, stop bothering the doctors with your minor complaints.a Explicitly, the content is more along the lines of: aCold? Tummy bug? Nits? Think pharmacy first!a But implicitly, I know what whoever came up with this advert was thinking. aThe NHS has no money. We have to find a way to have fewer patients. Please can the less seriously sick people just start taking their medical care into their own hands?a One version of the advert tells patients to a#DoYourBita and aDonat just turn upa to A&E.

Takeover of baby formula maker Mead Johnson Nutrition could lead to billions in damages payouts
The worst acquisition by a major UK company in the last decade? Itas hard to think of a deal that beats Reckitt Benckiseras $18bn purchase in 2017 of Mead Johnson Nutrition, a US-listed maker of baby milk formula. Shares in the Dettol-to-Durex group have never recovered from the shock. By way of add-on award, Rakesh Kapoor, Reckittas chief executive back in the day, can probably scoop the prize for most overpaid FTSE 100 boss of recent times: he departed two years after his fateful piece of deal-making having been paid the astonishing sum of APS97.6m during his eight years in charge.
The latest example of Mead Johnsonas dreadful legacy was Fridayas news that a court in Illinois awarded $60m in damages to a woman whose premature baby died in intensive care after consuming the companyas Enfamil formula; the allegation was that Reckitt failed to warn adequately that feeding with infant formula increased the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). The verdict knocked 15%, equivalent to APS5.4bn, off Reckittas stock market value as investors tried to guess what could follow from 400-odd similar NEC-related cases involving Mead and its US rival Abbott Laboratories.

Vladimir Putinas landslide victory in a fake contest marks the latest phase in a transition from authoritarianism to outright autocracy
One of the curiosities of the Soviet Union was the serious weight its leaders attached to holding elections. In a dictatorship, why bother? Academic studies concluded that ensuring a 99% vote share for the only candidate on the ballot was a useful tool for civic mobilisation, and a way of isolating and intimidating anyone who aspired to a real democratic choice.
Under the repressive, paranoid leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russians are going back to the future. Mr Putinas 87% landslide in Russiaas presidential election a the highest percentage in any post-Soviet poll a confirms that, almost a quarter of a century after he first entered the Kremlin, the resumption of a form of totalitarian control is all but complete. Having changed the constitution to ensure he can continue to rule, a further victory in 2030 would see him surpass Stalinas 31 years of dictatorial power.

The success of the three political leaders should not be seen as a repudiation of the existence of racism itself
If power was just about office, then Britainas ethnic minorities would appear to have nothing to worry about. Rishi Sunak sits in Downing Street. HumzaYousaf heads Scotlandas devolved government. When Vaughan Gething takes over as the first minister in Wales, he will become the first black leader of a European nation. But the success of the three political leaders should not be seen as a repudiation of the existence of racism itself. Its current toxic persistence has been made obvious by the racist comments aboutBritainas first black female parliamentarian, Diane Abbott, by the Toriesa biggest donor.
The difference between the current crop of leaders and the trailblazers of the past is the extent to which they represent a generational shift in the opportunities open to non-white politicians. Parties want to be seen as part of the future, not the past. Having ethnic minorities in top political positions helps convey that message. Mr Yousaf, Mr Gething and Mr Sunak not only express support for change but also embody it. Elected by MPs or members, these three have yet to face the voting public.

When Francis Ryan asks aWhat is the point of Labour?a she is articulating the thoughts of many voters who have waited years for a sea change in the government and now fear that a Labour one under Keir Starmer will simply offer us Tory-lite (Whatas the point of Starmeras Labour if it wonat stand up for poor, sick or disabled people?, 12 March). She rightly identifies that Labouras policy agenda seems to be shaped by a small group of rightwing newspapers, resulting in Keir Starmer and RachelReeves parading around dressed in the sackcloth and ashes of fiscalresponsibility.
There is a fundamental flaw and inherent dishonesty in adopting this economic straitjacket while propounding the notion of growing the economy as the route to recovery and the rebuilding of public services. Starmer needs to be honest with the electorate that growing the economy will only improve the wealth and wellbeing of us all if it is accompanied by a redistributive tax regime, where those who prosper the most pay themost and additional tax revenues are invested in public services and infrastructure.

I miss my late husband, Bernie Grant, every day, but was painfully reminded of the challenges he faced as one of the first black MPs by Diane Abbottas experience (Frank Hesteras ugly words about me are a reminder: all parties, including Labour, must stand against racism, 13 March).

The first black MPs for almost 100 years a Bernie, Abbott and PaulBoateng a walked a tightrope to become selected and then again to get elected, and re-elected. Another candidate, Sharon Atkin, was deselected in 1987 for declaring the Labour party was racist. As they sought to establish the first black presence in parliament, there were huge expectations, and at the same time vicious abuse in the gutter press, intrusion into our families, threats of violence and, at best, condescension from parliamentarians themselves, as they sought to reflect the pressing issues facing the black community.

It is a mathematical axiom for any president-for-life: support should never go down, only up; turnout should never go down, only up.

From Medusa to Circe, novelists have scored hits with feminist reimaginings of Greek myths and historical figures. But Swiss-born painter Angelica Kauffman beat them to it a by 250 years
In recent years, there has been a flurry of bestselling books reimagining the lives of unfairly damned women in Greek mythology. Madeline Milleras Circe tackled the sorceress daughter of Helios and Perse, who could change humans into wolves, lions or pigs, while Natalie Haynesas Stone Blind reconsidered the snake-haired Medusa, whose gaze had the power to petrify. Both retell their myths from a feminist perspective and itas no surprise theyave done well. The epic tales and poems they refashioned were told by men, written down by men, and, until recently, translated by men, some of them spinning words and meanings to fit a certain narrative. For millennia, the myths have provided a constant inspiration for artists, who turned their most thrilling and pivotal moments into paintings or sculpture. But, like the translators, these artists often exaggerated and manipulated the narrative, perpetuating the idea that men are the heroes, women either temptresses or trophies.
Miller and Haynes have been rightly praised for their fresh approach. But what if there was someone who was doing something similar 250 years ago? This is what I find extraordinary about the show at the Royal Academy in London dedicated to Angelica Kauffman, a painter who defied all odds to rise to the top of the art world, in a society even more male-dominated than ours today.

A plucky microbudget indie, Brightwood is a masterclass in what is achievable with hardly any money whatsoever: just a premise, a couple of actors, and a writer-director (Dane Elcar) who doubles as cameraperson. Itas also an illustration of the limits of the form, because it would be starry-eyed and untrue to claim that money makes no difference to what can be achieved.
We open on a couple, jogging in the woods and fighting as they go.

Sheas listening to a podcast about how to divorce, heas irritated she wonat take her earbuds out long enough for them to have a conversation, sheas furious about his drinking and flirting and, on top of everything else, heas wickedly hungover.

A thrifty yet irresistible Neapolitan dish of tomatoes, nuts, raisins, capers and olives, all sweated down in lots of olive oil and tossed through a tangle of spaghetti
aE Curti is a small, very good osteria in a town called SantaAnastasia, which is perched on the slopes of Vesuvius about 13km north-east of Naples. We made a detour and stopped there two summers ago, thanks to the trusty Slow Food osteria guide (although no thanks to my navigating). One of the specialities at aE Curti is spaghetti with dried nuts and fruit, capers, olives, herbs and a local variety of tomatoes called pomodori piennoli. The dish came about as a way of using up the dried fruit and nuts left over from Christmas, and its name, aO sicchje ra munnezza, is a humorous nod to this resourcefulness a aO sicchje meaning abina and ra munnezza arubbisha in Neapolitan dialect.
Such joking is possible only if you are confident of how good something is. And the combination of tomatoes collapsed in extra-virgin olive oil and the texture from the various nuts, the slight sweetness from the fruit and the defiantly savoury capers and olives, all held in a twisted net of spaghetti, is extremely good. Which is in no small part due to the local olive oil and flavour of the pomodori piennoli, particularly because they can be hung and kept for months, wrinkling and developing in richness. That said, it is absolutely a dish that can be recreated with other tomatoes, especially sweet cherry or datterini tomatoes, or even tinned plum tomatoes (that you like the taste of) drained of their juice. Being able to recreate this is also thanks to a recipe directly from aE Curti itself that is wonderful in its specificity, suggesting (among other ingredients): 16 pine nuts, 10 raisins, 18 capers, eight olives, half a kilo of tomatoes and 1kg spaghetti for eight people.

An entirely human-made tragedy is under way as the world looks on. Israel must open the crossings for aid and aid workers now
Here in the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat. Doctors have been warning for months that the Israeli militaryas five-month long bombardment and siege of Gaza would end in hunger and starvation. Today, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has reported that famine is aimminenta and will take hold in the north of Gaza over the coming two months. Half of the population across Gaza now faces catastrophic levels of hunger, nearly twice as many people as reported in November. Children are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government continues to throttle aid at the border crossing into Gaza while the international community watches on. The tiny amount of aid that is allowed to enter is either being prevented from getting to people, especially in the north, or is being chaotically distributed, leaving people desperately scrambling for whatever they can get their hands on. This is stripping my community of its dignity while leaving the most vulnerable without any help at all. Hundreds of people have even paid with their lives trying to get food for their families.

Vladimir Putinas landslide victory in a fake contest marks the latest phase in a transition from authoritarianism to outright autocracy
One of the curiosities of the Soviet Union was the serious weight its leaders attached to holding elections. In a dictatorship, why bother? Academic studies concluded that ensuring a 99% vote share for the only candidate on the ballot was a useful tool for civic mobilisation, and a way of isolating and intimidating anyone who aspired to a real democratic choice.
Under the repressive, paranoid leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russians are going back to the future. Mr Putinas 87% landslide in Russiaas presidential election a the highest percentage in any post-Soviet poll a confirms that, almost a quarter of a century after he first entered the Kremlin, the resumption of a form of totalitarian control is all but complete. Having changed the constitution to ensure he can continue to rule, a further victory in 2030 would see him surpass Stalinas 31 years of dictatorial power.

Sharing childhood faves with the kids can be one of the most rewarding and most disappointing parts of parenthood.

Manager is helming the thrilling third stint in a trilogy that could see the club win a first major trophy in 40 years
aFootball is like a film,a Ernesto Valverde says, and sometimes it is an entire trilogy of them. The man who allayed fears that sequels are never any good by reminding everyone of The Godfather Part II when he returned to Bilbao for a second spell as coach of Athletic Club in 2013 and then proved it by leading to them to their first trophy in 31 years has gone and done it again. If Part II was even better than the original, the player they called aThe Anta becoming the only manager who could match what he had achieved first time round, Part III of his San Mames saga might be the best yet, Valverde back to take them where they have never been, not even with him.

The rumour went into overdrive when it was shared on a Telegram channel used by Vedomosti, once Russiaas most respected business newspaper. There was a photo of Charles in ceremonial military uniform and the curt caption: aBritish King Charles III has died.a It made it through Russian internet channels, including Readovka, a pro-Kremlin Telegram channel with more than 2.35 million subscribers.

Observers say Russian leaderas election numbers approaching 90% mark final break with western conventions
Vladimir Putin is approaching the electoral outer limits. Claiming a record landslide on Sunday of 87.28% of the vote on a 77.44% turnout, Putin has launched himself into the stratosphere of post-Soviet election results.
It is a mathematical axiom for any president-for-life: support should never go down, only up; turnout should never go down, only up. And as Putinas one-man rule extends past a quarter of a century, Russian officials retain straight faces even as they post astronomical numbers that would make many convinced autocrats blush.

Penny Mordauntas name had been floated, but she was commonly thought of as the stalking horse candidate, for the more plausible Kemi Badenoch (at this point, you just have to imagine inverted commas round all the adjectives, a kind of awho-are-these-people?a confetti). Rishi had threatened a general election if people didnat stop challenging his leadership. Kemi had told everyone not to be silly.
And then the pair arrived before the burghers of Coventry and Warwickshire, to tell them how great the Conservatives were going to be for small businesses. Sunak had three main announcements: cutting taxes, cutting red tape and creating 20,000 apprenticeships. It was pretty dry fare.

An Irish couple go missing in New Zealand, and a Dublin detective flies in to investigate a but why? As we meet the local MAori community, this crime drama becomes almost a mood piece
If you can forgive the ponderous opening episode and its slightly by-numbers feel, there is much to enjoy in the new six-part police drama The Gone.
When a young Irish couple go missing during a stay in New Zealand, hardbitten-slash-maverick Dublin detective Theo Richter (Richard Flood) flies over to help the local cops investigate, despite the fact that he has just handed in his resignation after 20 years for no reason he is willing to give to his superiors. Unresolved trauma from an old case? Burdened by a secret sorrow? Something is prompting him to pick fights and find distraction in getting beaten to a pulp by thugs, and no doubt weall find out soon enough.
The Gone is on BBC Four and is available on BBC iPlayer, and on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video in Australia.

There are many good reasons for Rishi Sunak to postpone a general election. All are about reducing his partyas potential loss of seats. There is also an overwhelming reason for calling one now. It is in the national interest.
British government needs an act of cleansing. It needs renewal and a fresh start under a new regime. Every month that start is delayed has a cost in decisions postponed. The presumed next government of Labouras Keir Starmer is waiting and ready to go. Its learning curve will be steep and its climb hard.

Could one extravagant pro-social act lead to me finally doing all the other ones I promised to do?
Itas great giving blood when youare O negative. I do absolutely nothing to produce this stuff, I donat even drink water very often, and yet I have these constant, positive interactions with the donation people. Every phone call starts with a five-minute introduction about how great I am. Every email has a heartwarming story about someone who needed O negative, and then got it, and now theyare alive, because of me. Sometimes theyall randomly send me a badge or a plastic bracelet saying afirst respondera on it, which makes me sound like a hero who ran, didnat walk, towards an emergency, as opposed to what I am: a person who goes into town once every four months for 20 minutes of no-big-deal and gets given a pint of squash and an orange Club at the end of it. I love it. Last year, they asked me to go in on Boxing Day, and I said no, donat be daft, itas Boxing Day, and I still came away from that feeling like a king.
Then, this morning, I got an email with a slightly different ask: blood is great and all, but have you ever heard of a living organ donation? For instance, would you like to give away a kidney? It was a bit of a gear shift, somewhere in the region of: aThank you for your direct debit of five quid a month, would you like to give us your house?a But I gave it due consideration. I know three people with only one kidney: one because she was born with a kidney problem; one gave his to his sister; one, I donat know what happened to hers a it turns out this is the kind of thing you have to wait to be told.

An entirely human-made tragedy is under way as the world looks on. Israel must open the crossings for aid and aid workers now
Here in the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat. Doctors have been warning for months that the Israeli militaryas five-month long bombardment and siege of Gaza would end in hunger and starvation. Today, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has reported that famine is aimminenta and will take hold in the north of Gaza over the coming two months. Half of the population across Gaza now faces catastrophic levels of hunger, nearly twice as many people as reported in November. Children are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government continues to throttle aid at the border crossing into Gaza while the international community watches on. The tiny amount of aid that is allowed to enter is either being prevented from getting to people, especially in the north, or is being chaotically distributed, leaving people desperately scrambling for whatever they can get their hands on. This is stripping my community of its dignity while leaving the most vulnerable without any help at all. Hundreds of people have even paid with their lives trying to get food for their families.

Helping children detach from the zeitgeist feels important in our algorithmic age. Branching out is hard when thereas always more of what you already love
Sharing childhood faves with the kids can be one of the most rewarding and most disappointing parts of parenthood. I will admit that one of the main reasons I was keen to start a family was to indoctrinate a new generation in the film, TV and music that has meant so much to me. Part of this was the arguably noble impulse to share great art with young minds. Part of it was wanting to experience the joy of those young minds discovering things Iad loved at their age. And, yes, part of it was me wanting to drag out my old Doctor Who DVDs.
These viewing sessions havenat always gone to plan. The kids were unmoved by ET a the first time I watched this as an adult I was so distraught that when my wife returned from a night out she assumed a parent had died a but adored Flight of the Navigator, which had left no impression on me. For years our girls re-enacted the single dramatic scene from The Railway Children but could I get them excited about Krull or The Goonies? Reader, I could not.

Shigeichi Negishias invention invites us to cast off humility and take a shot at singing stardom. His legacy will be credited a and blamed a for us living out our popstar fantasies
Received wisdom holds that haughty music critics, grinding our axes on fansa beloved pop stars, are nothing more than failed musicians. This has always struck me as slander a not of critics, who certainly can be bitter and mean, but of supposedly failed musicians. How, after all, does one fail at music? To suggest success rides on certain technicalities, like talent or a career, gravely underestimates musicas draw, and nowhere is the lie more spectacularly exposed than in karaoke.
Here is an arena of musical greatness in which incompetence is the house style. Delusions of grandeur, haywire pitch, weird stage presence? Join the party. On that valorising little stage, afailed musiciana becomes the most entertaining role in the business.

Adverts telling us to take services into our own hands are trying to maintain the delusion that we still have a functioning society
One of the beautiful things about adverts is that each one is a kind of window: into the entire thought process that led to it being produced. The television series Mad Men understood this: although I doubt there was quite so much grief and self-torture behind someone thinking, for instance: aMaybe we could use a guy with a giant head to advertise this online bank.a
I often spend journeys on public transport trying to peep through these windows. For instance, over the past few months, I have been seeing posters that in effect state: aFor the love of God, stop bothering the doctors with your minor complaints.a Explicitly, the content is more along the lines of: aCold? Tummy bug? Nits? Think pharmacy first!a But implicitly, I know what whoever came up with this advert was thinking. aThe NHS has no money. We have to find a way to have fewer patients. Please can the less seriously sick people just start taking their medical care into their own hands?a One version of the advert tells patients to a#DoYourBita and aDonat just turn upa to A&E.

Takeover of baby formula maker Mead Johnson Nutrition could lead to billions in damages payouts
The worst acquisition by a major UK company in the last decade? Itas hard to think of a deal that beats Reckitt Benckiseras $18bn purchase in 2017 of Mead Johnson Nutrition, a US-listed maker of baby milk formula. Shares in the Dettol-to-Durex group have never recovered from the shock. By way of add-on award, Rakesh Kapoor, Reckittas chief executive back in the day, can probably scoop the prize for most overpaid FTSE 100 boss of recent times: he departed two years after his fateful piece of deal-making having been paid the astonishing sum of APS97.6m during his eight years in charge.
The latest example of Mead Johnsonas dreadful legacy was Fridayas news that a court in Illinois awarded $60m in damages to a woman whose premature baby died in intensive care after consuming the companyas Enfamil formula; the allegation was that Reckitt failed to warn adequately that feeding with infant formula increased the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). The verdict knocked 15%, equivalent to APS5.4bn, off Reckittas stock market value as investors tried to guess what could follow from 400-odd similar NEC-related cases involving Mead and its US rival Abbott Laboratories.

Vladimir Putinas landslide victory in a fake contest marks the latest phase in a transition from authoritarianism to outright autocracy
One of the curiosities of the Soviet Union was the serious weight its leaders attached to holding elections. In a dictatorship, why bother? Academic studies concluded that ensuring a 99% vote share for the only candidate on the ballot was a useful tool for civic mobilisation, and a way of isolating and intimidating anyone who aspired to a real democratic choice.
Under the repressive, paranoid leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russians are going back to the future. Mr Putinas 87% landslide in Russiaas presidential election a the highest percentage in any post-Soviet poll a confirms that, almost a quarter of a century after he first entered the Kremlin, the resumption of a form of totalitarian control is all but complete. Having changed the constitution to ensure he can continue to rule, a further victory in 2030 would see him surpass Stalinas 31 years of dictatorial power.

The success of the three political leaders should not be seen as a repudiation of the existence of racism itself
If power was just about office, then Britainas ethnic minorities would appear to have nothing to worry about. Rishi Sunak sits in Downing Street. HumzaYousaf heads Scotlandas devolved government. When Vaughan Gething takes over as the first minister in Wales, he will become the first black leader of a European nation. But the success of the three political leaders should not be seen as a repudiation of the existence of racism itself. Its current toxic persistence has been made obvious by the racist comments aboutBritainas first black female parliamentarian, Diane Abbott, by the Toriesa biggest donor.
The difference between the current crop of leaders and the trailblazers of the past is the extent to which they represent a generational shift in the opportunities open to non-white politicians. Parties want to be seen as part of the future, not the past. Having ethnic minorities in top political positions helps convey that message. Mr Yousaf, Mr Gething and Mr Sunak not only express support for change but also embody it. Elected by MPs or members, these three have yet to face the voting public.

Peter Riddle says voters fear they will get Tory-lite policies and calls for honesty, while Carl Gardner says the party should make the UK attractive to struggling people, not big business. Plus letters from Martyn Taylor and Michael Meadowcroft
When Francis Ryan asks aWhat is the point of Labour?a she is articulating the thoughts of many voters who have waited years for a sea change in the government and now fear that a Labour one under Keir Starmer will simply offer us Tory-lite (Whatas the point of Starmeras Labour if it wonat stand up for poor, sick or disabled people?, 12 March). She rightly identifies that Labouras policy agenda seems to be shaped by a small group of rightwing newspapers, resulting in Keir Starmer and RachelReeves parading around dressed in the sackcloth and ashes of fiscalresponsibility.
There is a fundamental flaw and inherent dishonesty in adopting this economic straitjacket while propounding the notion of growing the economy as the route to recovery and the rebuilding of public services. Starmer needs to be honest with the electorate that growing the economy will only improve the wealth and wellbeing of us all if it is accompanied by a redistributive tax regime, where those who prosper the most pay themost and additional tax revenues are invested in public services and infrastructure.

Sharon Grant calls on the Labour party to address its deep-seated problems with race and the abuse that its black MPs have received for decades
I miss my late husband, Bernie Grant, every day, but was painfully reminded of the challenges he faced as one of the first black MPs by Diane Abbottas experience (Frank Hesteras ugly words about me are a reminder: all parties, including Labour, must stand against racism, 13 March). Labouras difficulties on race are deep-seated and longstanding, and it has always weaponised or trumpeted the issue at its convenience.
The first black MPs for almost 100 years a Bernie, Abbott and PaulBoateng a walked a tightrope to become selected and then again to get elected, and re-elected. Another candidate, Sharon Atkin, was deselected in 1987 for declaring the Labour party was racist. As they sought to establish the first black presence in parliament, there were huge expectations, and at the same time vicious abuse in the gutter press, intrusion into our families, threats of violence and, at best, condescension from parliamentarians themselves, as they sought to reflect the pressing issues facing the black community.

Britainas most successful female Olympian rode through adversity and her refusal to compromise explains retirement
aThe find of the centurya is probably the best summary of Laura Kennyas career, the view of a leading British coach before the 20-year-oldas Olympic debut at London in 2012. The precocity of Kennyas talent was blindingly obvious back then. Less easy to read were the long-term passion and drive that have made her Britainas most successful female Olympian, with six Olympic medals to her credit a five gold, one silver a in a 15-year career that spanned three Games. An old truism applies in this case: her retirement on Monday does mark the end of an era, a liberally gold-spangled one at that, with 23 other major titles to her name.
The arrival of Laura Kenny, nA(c)e Trott, on the global stage coincided happily with the initial steps by the world governing body, the UCI, to bring womenas track cycling into parity with menas, and with the inclusion in the track programme of the multidiscipline omnium, which she dominated in 2012 and 2016, all the while being a mainstay of the British womenas reign in the team pursuit.

From Medusa to Circe, novelists have scored hits with feminist reimaginings of Greek myths and historical figures. But Swiss-born painter Angelica Kauffman beat them to it a by 250 years
In recent years, there has been a flurry of bestselling books reimagining the lives of unfairly damned women in Greek mythology. Madeline Milleras Circe tackled the sorceress daughter of Helios and Perse, who could change humans into wolves, lions or pigs, while Natalie Haynesas Stone Blind reconsidered the snake-haired Medusa, whose gaze had the power to petrify. Both retell their myths from a feminist perspective and itas no surprise theyave done well. The epic tales and poems they refashioned were told by men, written down by men, and, until recently, translated by men, some of them spinning words and meanings to fit a certain narrative. For millennia, the myths have provided a constant inspiration for artists, who turned their most thrilling and pivotal moments into paintings or sculpture. But, like the translators, these artists often exaggerated and manipulated the narrative, perpetuating the idea that men are the heroes, women either temptresses or trophies.
Miller and Haynes have been rightly praised for their fresh approach. But what if there was someone who was doing something similar 250 years ago? This is what I find extraordinary about the show at the Royal Academy in London dedicated to Angelica Kauffman, a painter who defied all odds to rise to the top of the art world, in a society even more male-dominated than ours today.

The first and only time Silvio Berlusconi held a news conference at the Italian Foreign Press Association in Rome was in November 1993. The businessman told journalists he had no desire whatsoever to enter politics, and hoped he would never be forced to.
But when the correspondents probed further, particularly about his friendship with Gianfranco Fini, the leader of the National Alliance, a descendant of the neofascist Italian Social Movement, he accused them all of being acommunistsa a the ultimate insult, from those on the right in Italy a against anyone with leftwing leanings.

Rarely is so much wealth to be found in so few conference rooms. And each year, Oxfam, the global development charity, takes the opportunity to run the numbers on the state of global inequality. Oxfamas findings are often eye-catching, but this year especially so.
The wealth of the five richest people in the world, they found, has more than doubled, from $405bn (APS320bn) in 2020 to $869bn in late 2023. Thatas an increase of about $14m an hour, which is not bad going by anyoneas reckoning. Perhaps more strikingly, Oxfam calculates that on current trends the world is due to welcome its first dollar trillionaire within a decade. Elon Musk, the richest person at the time of writing, is worth about a fifth of that, at $210bn.

A thrifty yet irresistible Neapolitan dish of tomatoes, nuts, raisins, capers and olives, all sweated down in lots of olive oil and tossed through a tangle of spaghetti
aE Curti is a small, very good osteria in a town called SantaAnastasia, which is perched on the slopes of Vesuvius about 13km north-east of Naples. We made a detour and stopped there two summers ago, thanks to the trusty Slow Food osteria guide (although no thanks to my navigating). One of the specialities at aE Curti is spaghetti with dried nuts and fruit, capers, olives, herbs and a local variety of tomatoes called pomodori piennoli. The dish came about as a way of using up the dried fruit and nuts left over from Christmas, and its name, aO sicchje ra munnezza, is a humorous nod to this resourcefulness a aO sicchje meaning abina and ra munnezza arubbisha in Neapolitan dialect.
Such joking is possible only if you are confident of how good something is. And the combination of tomatoes collapsed in extra-virgin olive oil and the texture from the various nuts, the slight sweetness from the fruit and the defiantly savoury capers and olives, all held in a twisted net of spaghetti, is extremely good. Which is in no small part due to the local olive oil and flavour of the pomodori piennoli, particularly because they can be hung and kept for months, wrinkling and developing in richness. That said, it is absolutely a dish that can be recreated with other tomatoes, especially sweet cherry or datterini tomatoes, or even tinned plum tomatoes (that you like the taste of) drained of their juice. Being able to recreate this is also thanks to a recipe directly from aE Curti itself that is wonderful in its specificity, suggesting (among other ingredients): 16 pine nuts, 10 raisins, 18 capers, eight olives, half a kilo of tomatoes and 1kg spaghetti for eight people.

An entirely human-made tragedy is under way as the world looks on. Israel must open the crossings for aid and aid workers now
Here in the north of Gaza, there is virtually no food available. People are resorting to eating animal feed or bird seed to stay alive. For some, there is only grass left to eat. Doctors have been warning for months that the Israeli militaryas five-month long bombardment and siege of Gaza would end in hunger and starvation. Today, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has reported that famine is aimminenta and will take hold in the north of Gaza over the coming two months. Half of the population across Gaza now faces catastrophic levels of hunger, nearly twice as many people as reported in November. Children are already dying of malnutrition and dehydration.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government continues to throttle aid at the border crossing into Gaza while the international community watches on. The tiny amount of aid that is allowed to enter is either being prevented from getting to people, especially in the north, or is being chaotically distributed, leaving people desperately scrambling for whatever they can get their hands on. This is stripping my community of its dignity while leaving the most vulnerable without any help at all. Hundreds of people have even paid with their lives trying to get food for their families.

US presidentas new executive order is an important step towards protecting sensitive personal data
Last year, Joe Bidenas administration infuriated lobbyists representing big tech firms and others that profit from our personal data by denouncing a proposal that would have gutted domestic data privacy, online civil rights and liberties, and competition safeguards. Now, the US presidentas new executive order on Americansa data security reveals that the lobbyists had good reason to worry.
After decades of data brokers and tech platforms exploiting Americansa personal data without any oversight or restrictions, the Biden administration has announced that it will ban the transfer of certain kinds of data to China and other countries of concern. It is a small, but important, step towards protecting Americansa sensitive personal information, in addition to government-related data.

Vladimir Putinas landslide victory in a fake contest marks the latest phase in a transition from authoritarianism to outright autocracy
One of the curiosities of the Soviet Union was the serious weight its leaders attached to holding elections. In a dictatorship, why bother? Academic studies concluded that ensuring a 99% vote share for the only candidate on the ballot was a useful tool for civic mobilisation, and a way of isolating and intimidating anyone who aspired to a real democratic choice.
Under the repressive, paranoid leadership of Vladimir Putin, Russians are going back to the future. Mr Putinas 87% landslide in Russiaas presidential election a the highest percentage in any post-Soviet poll a confirms that, almost a quarter of a century after he first entered the Kremlin, the resumption of a form of totalitarian control is all but complete. Having changed the constitution to ensure he can continue to rule, a further victory in 2030 would see him surpass Stalinas 31 years of dictatorial power.

Itas great giving blood when youare O negative. I do absolutely nothing to produce this stuff, I donat even drink water very often, and yet I have these constant, positive interactions with the donation people.

Sometimes theyall randomly send me a badge or a plastic bracelet saying afirst respondera on it, which makes me sound like a hero who ran, didnat walk, towards an emergency, as opposed to what I am: a person who goes into town once every four months for 20 minutes of no-big-deal and gets given a pint of squash and an orange Club at the end of it.

Then, this morning, I got an email with a slightly different ask: blood is great and all, but have you ever heard of a living organ donation? For instance, would you like to give away a kidney? It was a bit of a gear shift, somewhere in the region of: aThank you for your direct debit of five quid a month, would you like to give us your house?a But I gave it due consideration.

Helping children detach from the zeitgeist feels important in our algorithmic age. Branching out is hard when thereas always more of what you already love
Sharing childhood faves with the kids can be one of the most rewarding and most disappointing parts of parenthood. I will admit that one of the main reasons I was keen to start a family was to indoctrinate a new generation in the film, TV and music that has meant so much to me. Part of this was the arguably noble impulse to share great art with young minds. Part of it was wanting to experience the joy of those young minds discovering things Iad loved at their age. And, yes, part of it was me wanting to drag out my old Doctor Who DVDs.
These viewing sessions havenat always gone to plan. The kids were unmoved by ET a the first time I watched this as an adult I was so distraught that when my wife returned from a night out she assumed a parent had died a but adored Flight of the Navigator, which had left no impression on me.

But all eyes will be on her this week as she makes her return to professional tennis for the first time in 19 months at the Miami Open after the court of arbitration for sport (Cas) reduced her four-year ban for intentional doping to nine backdated months, ruling that she was not guilty of intentional doping and allowing her to return to the court immediately.

Football has found itself assailed in recent years by states, oligarchs and private equity, the concentration of resources at a handful of clubs in a tiny number of western European countries destroying the balance that once sustained it, the potential of its soft power meaning that it has been preyed upon by regimes desperate to launder their image and secure influence. But, despite all that, the sport has retained its mischievous sense of humour.
It was Robins who scored the winner for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest in 1990 that saved Sir Alex Fergusonas job, carrying them through the third round of the FA Cup to initiate an exhaustingly dramatic campaign that culminated in the trophy. At the end of his fourth season in the job, that was Fergusonas first silverware at Old Trafford, the herald of 23 years of almost constant success.

Manager is helming the thrilling third stint in a trilogy that could see the club win a first major trophy in 40 years
aFootball is like a film,a Ernesto Valverde says, and sometimes it is an entire trilogy of them. The man who allayed fears that sequels are never any good by reminding everyone of The Godfather Part II when he returned to Bilbao for a second spell as coach of Athletic Club in 2013 and then proved it by leading to them to their first trophy in 31 years has gone and done it again. If Part II was even better than the original, the player they called aThe Anta becoming the only manager who could match what he had achieved first time round, Part III of his San Mames saga might be the best yet, Valverde back to take them where they have never been, not even with him.
When Valverde rejoined Athletic in the summer of 2022, his last job had ended with him being sacked by Barcelona, he had not worked for 30 months and he signed for a single season. But at least he was home, among those who appreciated him; besides, he insisted, it was an adventure a and it has been excellent. Eighth in the league a as high as Athletic had been since he was last there a and within four minutes of the Copa del Rey final in his first season, a year on and with his contract extended, this season they did get there, putting four past Barcelona and AtlA(c)tico Madrid en route to Aprilas final against Mallorca in Seville. Then this Saturday, they got two more to defeat AlavA(c)s and move into fourth a well-placed to qualify for the Champions League for the third time and the first since way back when the manager was, well, him.
