2 h. ago Believe the hype: make Pollock the Lions midweek captain and watch him flourish | Ugo Monye

Northampton flanker brings energy and excitement and can thrive if given the honour and responsibility by Andy FarrellA couple of months ago, after Henry Pollock scored his first Premiership try against Sale in what is sure to be a contender for try of the season, I got a little excited. I called Phil Dowson – someone I have known since he was 19 – to speak to him about this star in the making. I asked if I was getting carried away with myself. Phil said he is a good kid who works hard on his game, and the next day I’m thinking about Pollock as a midweek captain for the British & Irish Lions.Fast forward two months and I’m of the same opinion. This isn’t me getting swept up in the hype, and that certainly isn’t to say Pollock cannot force his way into the Lions Test team or squad, but just give him the responsibility and let him flourish.

4 h. ago If you were shocked by my film on Israeli settlers in the West Bank, you haven’t been paying attention | Louis Theroux

The response to The Settlers has been humbling. But the ongoing displacement and intimidation of Palestinians is more severe than we could captureIt wasn’t something I saw coming. A film about the situation in the West Bank – an evergreen story if ever there was one – going viral. Appreciation, dismay, gratitude, outrage at what the film showed Through the week it kept going. More retweets, more feedback, a little bit of pushback. Shock was the theme of many messages – the idea that this was going on. And a feeling of: “At last.” “At last, mainstream British TV is saying something about what is happening.”The film was a follow-up of sorts. In 2010, I’d made a documentary called Ultra Zionists. It was a look at the Israeli religious nationalist community that exists in the West Bank – the area across the eastern edge of Israel that has been under military occupation since the six-day war of 1967. Now, a decade and a half on, with the world’s attention on Gaza, it was being reported t...
