37 h. ago Sunday with Nigel Havers: ‘We’ll take the dog for a walk, she’s a rare poodle

The actor talks about breakfast, dinner, dogs and horses, and shares his tips on racing and learning linesUp early? I like to listen to Paddy O’Connell at 9am on Radio 4. It’s a semi-political, opinionated show, with guests talking about the news. It’s amusing, witty and I’ve been a guest, so obviously highly intelligent.What’s next? We’ll take the dog for a walk. She’s called Charlie and she’s a very rare breed – a black poodle-poodle. She does her own stuff, chasing this, chasing that.Breakfast? Maybe a bit of fruit, then I’ll look at the papers. If I’ve got lines to learn, I’ll do that. At 12.30, we walk to the pub for a pint of Butcombe. Then we walk back, have a brunchy lunch, scrambled eggs and toast.Visit to the tip? We might go to the tip, you’re right. It’s fantastic, but they’re quite bossy: don’t park there, reverse here. Sometimes I’m recognised. I’m very chatty at the tip.Afternoon activities? We’ll watch a bit of racing. I don’t gamble unless I actually go to the races...

2 w. ago A raid and a secret tape exposed a Sicilian mafia that is shrunken, whiny and clinging on for survival | John Dickie

A historic number of arrests were made, but the days of targeted murder or massive political influence are long gonePalermo has not seen anything like it for years. Helicopters in the pre-dawn sky. Carabinieri barracks across Sicily emptied, with all 1,200 officers deployed. The Cacciatori – red-bereted shock cops – brought over from the wilds of Calabria. The Carabinieri’s own film units serving up a morning montage of flashing blue lights, balaclava-wearing officers with submachine guns, police dogs sniffing, cottage doors breaking, and burly, handcuffed men ushered into Alfa Romeos. And then, of course, in the press, the humiliating wiretaps of gangsters sharing their secrets. Cosa Nostra is back in the headlines, and back under the cosh.Italian law enforcement is good at this stuff. Not a single one of the 181 men and women targeted for arrest on 11 February managed to go on the lam before the crackdown.
