58 m. ago Brendan Rodgers ‘200% staying’ after Celtic clinch 55th Scottish league title

Bhoys seal triumph with 5-0 thrashing of Dundee UnitedDoubles from Kühn and Idah power champions to victoryBrendan Rodgers has reaffirmed his commitment to Celtic as the newly crowned champions wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title for the fourth successive season – their 55th and second trophy of the campaign – with a 5-0 thrashing of Dundee United at Tannadice.Rangers had kept the race going last Sunday by coming from two goals down, and with 10 men to draw 2-2 at Aberdeen. However, Celtic’s cruise took them 18 points clear on top, rendering Rangers’ later 2-2 draw at St Mirren irrelevant to the title. Continue reading...

She faced endless opposition and threats to her life. This has become a reality for far too many journalistsMaxine Peake is an actor who appears in the new film Words of WarWhat drives someone to become a journalist? A good journalist, someone whose keyboard is a tool for exposing injustice, a truth-seeker who would risk life and limb to report their experiences back to the world? I know I couldn’t do it. I’ve interviewed people for a research project and was hopeless. I found myself shying away from asking the really difficult questions. There’s no way I could confront a corrupt official, or race to file a breaking story before a hostile regime tried to silence me, possibly for ever. I like to think of myself as the kind of person who would speak truth to power, but would I really, if my life was in the balance?One of the many privileges of being an actor is that it affords you the opportunity to dip your toes into other worlds and experiences from the safest possible distance.

7 h. ago Sunday best: Thomasina Miers’ recipes for braised chicken with chickpeas and rosewater dried apricots

An aromatic Persian stew, followed by stewed dried apricots with pistachio cookiesSpring is here in all its glory, as the birds testify with their ebullient chitter-chat. But the weather is wilful and the air can turn chilly in a flash, and it’s this in-between time when soothing braises made with lighter ingredients are just what’s needed. I recently found a recipe for an Iranian chicken stew recipe that paired carrots and yoghurt, and its sunniness really appealed to me; I added cardamom for its evocative scent and chickpeas for body, and it was demolished by the troops. Pudding had to be simple, and both the biscuits and poached apricots can be made a few days ahead, so it is also blissfully easy. A lovely spring lunch for a lazy, sun-soaked day.

8 h. ago How space exploration can improve life on Earth | Leigh Phillips

There is a cynical, ‘anti-space’ ideology emerging, especially on some parts of the left. But this is misguidedJohn F Kennedy once called space-faring “the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which Man has ever embarked”. We go to space because, he said – like George Mallory said of his reason to conquer Everest – “it is there.”While it is truer to say that the race for space between Washington and Moscow was driven as much by cold war competition as by humanity’s pioneering spirit and the imperatives of scientific exploration, billions of ordinary people around the world recognized as much at the time and still were able to marvel at our species’ accomplishments in the heavens regardless of the flag under which they were achieved, from Sputnik to the moon landing.
