    Six days ago this happened …

    … so now the 1982 champions need a big performance if they’re to set up a semi-final showdown with either Arsenal or Real Madrid. It’s not beyond the realms – Villa have won seven of the 12 European ties in which they’ve been beaten in the first leg away from home – but PSG are 13 from 19 in Europe after winning the first leg at home, so both teams can take heart from history. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 15 April

    Tech giant stepped up production and chartered cargo flights with at least six jets to ensure sufficient inventory

    Apple ’s main Indian suppliers Foxconn and Tata shipped nearly $2bn worth of iPhones to the United States in March, an all-time high, as the US company airlifted devices to bypass Donald Trump ’s impending tariffs, customs data shows.

    The smartphone maker stepped up production in India and chartered cargo flights to ferry 600 tons of iPhones to the United States to ensure sufficient inventory in one of its biggest markets based on concern that the US president’s tariffs would push up costs. At least six cargo jets were used in the operation, which one source described as a way to “beat the tariffs”.

      A few swallows makes a spring return for the Flat season at Newmarket

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 15 April

    Zanzoun will head for the French Guineas after victory in the historic Nell Gwyn at Flat racing’s headquarters

    After weeks of unseasonably warm temperatures, the only hint of spring as Newmarket opened its doors for a new season here on Tuesday was a small flight of swallows over the Rowley Mile – back from Africa in time for a wet and chilly first day at the Craven meeting. Weather-wise, it felt more like Plumpton in January than the home of Flat racing on the first afternoon of a new campaign.

    But the conditions could not dampen the sense of opening-day anticipation as the first of 2025’s Guineas hopefuls went to post for their Classic trials on the Rowley Mile, before a potential tilt at racing immortality back here in less than three weeks.

    Video shows the herd forming a protective circle around youngster during powerful earthquake

    As the ground shook from a 5.2-magnitude earthquake , a herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park sprung into action to protect their young.

    A video shot of their enclosure at the park on Monday morning shows the five African elephants standing around in the morning sun before the camera shakes and they run in different directions. Then the older elephants – Ndlula, Umngani, Khosi – scramble to encircle and shield the two seven-year-old calves, Zuli and Mkhaya, from any possible threats.

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 15 April

    Former PM says she wants to protect free speech after being ‘cut off at the knees’ by ‘the elite’ while at No 10

    Liz Truss is preparing to launch her own social media platform championing free speech, as she warned the “deep state” and mainstream media were stifling freedom of expression in Britain.

    The former prime minister said the platform would launch this summer. It is her latest attempt to become a leading figure on the radical right in Britain, openly declaring her support for Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s mission to slash state spending in the US.

      Millions tune in for three-week live stream of Sweden’s moose migration

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 15 April

    Slow TV is attracting viewers with hits such as a knitting marathon, burning firewood and swimming salmon

    Most of the time, nothing much happens. A wide Nordic river, melting snow still lining its banks, meanders peacefully through a pristine forest of spruce and pine. But this spring, as every spring for the past six years, a lot of people will be glued to it.

    When Den stora älgvandringen – variously translated as The Great Moose Migration or The Great Elk Trek – first aired on the public broadcaster SVT’s on-demand platform in 2019, nearly a million people tuned in. Last year, it was 9 million.
