5 d. ago The Guardian view on Romania’s presidential election upset: a vote for stability and the west | Editorial

A stunning comeback victory for the centrist mayor of Bucharest was also good news for Kyiv. But elsewhere in Europe, the far right continues to flourishAs Romanians voted on Sunday in arguably the most consequential election in the country’s post-communist history, Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, will have been preparing to welcome a fellow disruptor to the European stage. The first round of a controversially re-run presidential contest had been handsomely won by George Simion, a Eurosceptic ultranationalist who views Donald Trump as a “natural ally” and opposes military aid to Ukraine. On the back of a 20-point lead, Mr Simion, a 38-year-old former football ultra with a taste for violent rhetoric, was so confident of winning that he made a confrontational visit to Brussels in the last days of his campaign.Those expectations were confounded in remarkable fashion at the weekend.

1 week ago ‘At times, the pressure was intolerable’: Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd on paranoia, portraying abuse and the madness of sudden fame

As part of a Bafta TV special, the nominated actor and writer on how his drama went stratospheric virtually overnight, the ‘challenging’ lawsuit that followed, and why he won’t be returning to standup comedyIn the space of a year, Richard Gadd has gone from niche Scottish comedian to global megastar, thanks to the viral success of his autobiographical miniseries Baby Reindeer, documenting his experience of stalking and sexual abuse. Since its release on Netflix in April last year, it has become one of the streamer’s Top 10 most viewed shows of all time, won six Emmys, four Golden Globes, and bagged six TV Bafta nominations.It has also been mired in controversy: social media sleuths identified Fiona Harvey as the woman depicted as Gadd’s stalker, and she has filed a $170m (£127m) lawsuit against Netflix for defamation. Gadd, 35, is now working on new BBC show Half Man, co-starring Jamie Bell. When we meet in a London hotel, he has the air of a man who is still trying to catch his bre...

Writer Q&A, fan views, plus the latest news and previewsToday’s fixtures | Latest tables | And email matchday liveBarney’s regular Saturday column is about a young man who, on Wednesday night, came agonisingly close to breaking the internetLamine Yamal was the buildup, the takeaway and also the TV commentary to this game, which for long periods was just Rio Ferdinand saying “OH MY GOD” a lot. In the second half you kept having to check the score to make sure it wasn’t actually 6-1 to Barcelona (Lamine Yamal 6), as opposed to a 3-3 draw and a good away result for Inter.The pandemic had a start date. But the closest we got to a national throwing-off of the shackles, our own VV day, was July 2021 and the sight of a lone England football supporter placing a flare between his buttock cheeks before releasing it into the air of central London.
