2 h. ago Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters: I’m absolutely hooked by this cheeky, danger

Lenny Henry, Rachel Riley and a tank full of primeval nightmare fuel: everyone’s a winnerI am obsessed with sharks. Fifty years on from Jaws, and for me no film can touch it. I trawl YouTube for unspeakable footage. On a recent holiday to France, I made my nonplussed household watch every shark documentary on National Geographic. I’ll even make time for guff like Jaws 4 or Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. I’m metaphorically chumming the water at every opportunity. Every so often, something shows up.Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITV1, Wednesday 16 July, 9pm) sees seven public figures with a fear of sharks mercilessly pushed into the water to swim with some. Say no more – I’m hooked. The victims – sorry, participants – include Lenny Henry, Lucy Punch, Ross Noble and the bassist from McFly. I like some of these people very much, and hope they don’t mind that I would love them to be ripped in half and devoured in high definition, thrashing about in a vortex of reddening water. It’s not...

Katie Taylor wins majority decision to retain titlesMSG hosts historic all-women’s card for trilogy boutAs it happened: Taylor beats Serrano by MD 10Katie Taylor outboxed Amanda Serrano over 10 tense, tactical rounds on Friday night to win a close but uncontroversial majority decision and retain her undisputed junior welterweight title, sealing a three-fight sweep in one of the most significant trilogies in women’s boxing history.Two judges scored it 97–93 for Taylor while a third had it level at 95–95, a fair reflection of a fight that lacked the all-out fury of their first two meetings but showcased Taylor’s footwork, precision and ring intelligence.

4 h. ago Young people don’t feel part of the EU – and they’re right | Francesco Grillo

Its remote, top-down structures need a fresh, citizen-led approach fit for the digital age. Let’s start by extending Erasmus to school-goersThe former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi produced his much-awaited prescription for how to reboot Europe’s economy last year. The Draghi report was rightly applauded as a rude awakening for a European Union that is far too complacent about its own obsolescence. Draghi concluded that an €800bn-a-year public spending boost would be needed to end years of stagnation. If Europe did not catch up with its rivals, he warned, it would face a “slow and agonising” decline.And yet, one ingredient was missing from Draghi’s recipe. In his nearly 400-page roadmap for rescuing the EU, the word “democracy” is mentioned only three times (once in the bibliography). By contrast, “integration” is used 96 times and “defence” 391 times. It’s true that Draghi’s report was explicitly devoted to the future of European competitiveness (and not more widely to the Eu...

7 h. ago Luis Enrique shrugs off praise for PSG’s season with Club World Cup final to come

Paris Saint-Germain coach cautious of difficult game against Chelsea‘I have been better when I lost,’ Enrique saysThere is just one game left in the season in which Paris Saint-Germain finally won the first Champions League in their history to complete a historic treble and that game is the Club World Cup final, but Luis Enrique says it has not been his best. He was better, he claims, when he lost. Besides, the PSG coach said, Manchester City remain the best team around and his side must face a Chelsea team he likened to his own which can still deny them the perfect campaign and have a manager he “loves”.“The Champions League was our first and it was very important: that was our main objective when we came to Paris last year,” Enrique said. “And on Sunday we have the chance, with the last game of the season, to win another one, with the Club World Cup. But it is important that we are conscious of the difficulty of the game. [Enzo] Maresca is a coach I love. I love the way he has of ...
