Sorry to hear of the death of Alan Yentob. I had the extraordinary experience of helping him out twice in Cuba on an Arena doc about @CAcostaOfficial and then with @JulienTemple on music and revolution. A consummate pro and a unique film-maker. Abrazos to his loved ones.

Like others, I figured Arsenal would go one better this year than last & I have no doubt they’ll go on to win things soon, perhaps this season. But our consistency in the league has been amazing. To do this in April is credit to Slot, who filled some huge shoes with style. YNWA

The 29 extradited from Mexico to the US read like a who’s who of cartel history. From Caro Quintero, Z40, Z42 to cartel bookkeepers and top lieutenants. Govt claims removing them under National Security Law allowed them to get around any injunctions from extradition.
