      Shoot to Kill: Terror on the Tube review – an extraordinary look at how Jean Charles de Menezes was killed

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024 • 1 minute

    This mesmerising docuseries is full of astonishing interviews as it examines the Metropolitan police shooting of an innocent man – two weeks after the London bombings and terrorist threats of July 2005

    This two-parter is a mesmerising feat of rigorous documentary-making. For the first time, the unnamed Metropolitan police officer who shot and killed Jean Charles de Menezes speaks out publicly, giving a raw and detailed interview about what happened on the morning of 22 July, 2005, and in the years that followed. De Menezes was an electrician from Brazil, taking the London Underground to work from Stockwell station. An innocent man, he was wrongly suspected of being a suicide bomber. He was shot once in the shoulder and seven times in the head.

    Over two gripping episodes, this documentary lays the foundations for its story and then unpicks every aspect of it, examining each element carefully, critically and with compassion, from a distance of 20 years later. Part one is all atmosphere, eerily recreating what ITV News producer Neil Garrett calls “a febrile time” in the city. London was still celebrating the decision to award it the 2012 Olympic Games when, on 7 July, four suicide bombers detonated explosives on the transport system, killing 52 and injuring more than 700 people.

      Do England’s repeated failures mean Steve Borthwick’s system is flawed? | Robert Kitson

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024

    Head coach’s gameplan exploded in his face again against Australia. South Africa are next … do the players trust it?

    One of the all-time great Wallaby Test victories has left England up a gum tree of their own making. Clearly Australia deserve huge praise for Saturday’s spectacular ram raid, topped off by a record for points scored in this fixture at Twickenham. For the home side, however, a recurring failure to close out big games is now the subject of mounting scrutiny.

    Scoring five tries and 37 points, for instance, should be enough to win any Test match. But only last March England scored 31 points in Lyon and still lost to France . Yet another disturbing pattern is emerging, this time around their defensive solidity. It makes for cracking entertainment for neutrals, less so for those England fans who still have any hair left to pull out.

    Dariel Vasquez died when tree fell on him as he battled major brush fire along the New York-New Jersey border

    A New York parks employee died battling one of a number of wildfires in New Jersey and New York amid dry conditions that have prompted air quality warnings in both states, authorities said on Sunday.

    The Eastern Dutchess county fire and rescue said the New York state forestry service reported that the worker died when a tree fell on him Saturday afternoon as he battled a major brush fire along the New York-New Jersey border, officials said.

      ‘Show your teeth’: Arteta calls on Arsenal players to dig in after Chelsea draw

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024

    • Visitors nine points behind Liverpool after 1-1 draw
    • Coach calls on team to ‘show how much you want it’

    A disappointed Mikel Arteta told his players to “show their teeth” and said he was praying they remain injury-free during the international break after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea that meant Arsenal lost further ground in the title race.

    Arsenal, who have fallen nine points behind Liverpool at the top of the table, missed an opportunity to get their campaign back on track during a tense encounter at Stamford Bridge. Arteta’s side, in fourth place after squandering eight points from winning positions this season, could not hold on after going ahead through Gabriel Martinelli, Pedro Neto ­levelling for Chelsea and lifting them to third.

      Everton make point against Palace but WSL relegation battle leaves no room for error

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024

    • WSL roundup: Hayashi rescues struggling Everton
    • West Ham claim first win of the season against Leicester

    When Crystal Palace midfielder My Cato found herself with the ball to the left, inside a minute at the VBS Community Stadium, the Everton defence followed, three of the back four shifting across and then looking back over their shoulders in horror as an unmarked Indiah-Paige Riley collected the pass from Cato in the middle before slotting home.

    If there was a moment to symbolise Everton’s woes this season, this was it, their defensive structure collapsing in an instant against Palace before the game had really begun. It was the fifth time in seven WSL games that the injury-hit Toffees had conceded inside 15 minutes, four of those coming inside eight minutes. Against a Chelsea or a Manchester United, that can be forgiven to some extent, but that the other three early concessions have come against fellow relegation battlers Leicester, West Ham and now Palace, cannot.

      Neto cancels out Martinelli’s opener as Chelsea and Arsenal share spoils

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024

    There were people on the pitch, Chelsea substitutes to be precise, the joy of everyone connected to the club overflowing. Pedro Neto had produced the equaliser with a vicious low drive from distance and if it did not turn out to be the statement victory that Enzo Maresca and his players wanted – the first against a so-called Big Six rival – they could see the merit in a battling draw.

    For Arsenal, this was a better performance than some of those of late and yet it was not the result that Mikel Arteta had called for, the one to silence the noise that has built around his club. It was another example of them losing the lead in a big game – following the draws against Manchester City and Liverpool – and it meant they have not won in four Premier League games, a sequence that has yielded just two points. They are now nine behind the leaders, Liverpool. Is it too much to recover?

      South Africa run in four tries as world champions prove too strong for Scotland

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 10 November, 2024

    • Scotland 15-32 South Africa
    • Springboks hold off stubborn hosts at Murrayfield

    Not much arguing with this. Scotland threw everything at this match, setting their beloved stadium on a roar time and again, but four tries to none tells its own story. And a familiar one at that. South Africa, without ever really seeming to play much more than within themselves, were just too strong.

    The image of a lusty puncher failing to land a single blow came to mind, as the Springboks held a swinging Scotland at arm’s length, rarely too troubled, for all their opponents’ fire and enthusiasm. Time and again either side of half-time, Scotland broke out, but they could not quite score a try, let alone four of them. Eben Etzebeth, the only Springbok forward to play the whole match, was the icon, huge, commanding and, at times, laughing in his opponents’ faces.
