Suspects charged for drug and weapon offences as well as scheme in which drivers felt compelled to pay fees

Italian police have arrested 24 suspected members of the Camorra – the notorious Neapolitan mafia – on charges of drug trafficking, arms possession and running an illegal parking attendant scheme.

According to investigators, several of those arrested on Monday were reportedly affiliated with well-known Camorra families operating in the Fuorigrotta and Chiaia districts of Naples. Some were already serving jail sentences.

I don’t need to swing from the rafters, but I do need something more than moderately paced sex in the missionary position ...

I’m a 30-year-old man who met my current partner about eight months ago. I was quite taken with her at first, but, as time has gone on, a few things have been eating away at me. Our sex is dull, dispassionate and unadventurous , mostly just moderately paced missionary. She tells me it’s the “best she’s ever had”, which has left me dumbstruck. And on two social occasions her friends, while inebriated, confirmed her feelings about our lovemaking . I have tried to speak to her about spicing things up , but although I’m not exactly wanting to swing from the rafters , she tells me that she “loves the way we do it” and that she “isn’t interested in more exotic positions”.

Moreover, I have started to find other aspects of our relationship just as upsetting. When I suggest date ideas or activities we can do together , she will tell me that she just wants to “spend time with me”, which translates to a night at home watching TV. When we first started dating, we would go out to eat, catch a movie, visit local parks for walks, and so on.

Simon Carter of British Land says that, with high-end facilities at a premium again, gambling on construction during the pandemic has paid off

A winter garden filled with plants, dedicated areas to suit both extrovert and introvert workers, a “social lobby”, and a cycle ramp into the building: this is the office of the future.

Well, at least a version of it – as envisioned by property ­developer British Land and to be made ­reality within a vast new project at 2 Finsbury Avenue, or “2FA”, in the City of London. With the world of work upended by the pandemic , the bells-and-whistles development is designed to offer companies every­thing to keep the modern white-­collar worker satisfied in the office.

Warnings emerge even as effect of economic and political turbulence on the foreign visitors to the US is hard to define

Batman said business was so-so, and King Kong beat his chest in agreement. But neither could predict that it would improve. Gotham’s caped crusader and his muscular ape neighbour could only hope. As with Times Square’s superhero-themed visitor-photography business last week, so it is with the US tourism business at large.

The effect of economic and political turbulence on the number of foreign visitors coming to the US is for now hard to define. But both – whether through tariffs , currency exchange chaos, or fears over political ill-winds – are sending chills through the $2.36tn business, the world’s most powerful travel and tourism market.

With extreme weather and Trump’s looming trade war, US farmers are reeling and resigned to needing another bailout

Farmers across the United States say they could face financial ruin – unless there is a huge taxpayer funded bail out to compensate for losses generated by Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts and chaotic tariffs.

Small- and medium-sized farms were already struggling amid worsening climate shocks and volatile commodities markets, on top of being squeezed by large corporations that dominate the supply chain.

The method is a vivid reminder of the brutality of state killing. That undermines the pro-capital-punishment narrative

On 11 April, South Carolina executed Mikal Mahdi by firing squad . Mahdi had been convicted and sentenced for the 2004 killing of an off-duty law enforcement officer.

One month before his execution, South Carolina put Brad Sigmon to death using the same method. He was the first person since 2010 to be killed by the firing squad. Both Mahdi and Sigmon chose the firing squad from a menu of three ways to die, the others being lethal injection and the electric chair.

European Commission is considering plans to allow energy firms to declare force majeure, absolving them of obligations

The European Commission is considering plans that would allow European companies to break long-term Russian gas contracts without paying penalties to Moscow, it has been reported.

Citing three officials with knowledge of the plan, the Financial Times reported that the commission was studying the possibility of allowing companies to declare force majeure, which would absolve importers of their obligations to pay penalty fees for ending contracts.

The CEO of JPMorgan Chase says young people needn’t worry – the future is bright and AI-enhanced. So why does the world feel so precarious?

Chin up, everyone. Things may seem grim at the moment but a billionaire has swooped in to reassure everyone – particularly impecunious young people – that everything is going to be OK. Better than OK, in fact. According to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, despite the current economic and political instability, gen Z should be grateful for what will be a very bright and AI-enhanced future.

“These kids, anyone who’s depressed – as long as we don’t have nuclear war – they’re going to have an unbelievable life,” Dimon said in a recent interview with Fox News . “People say the next generation’s in bad shape,” he added. “Really? They’re going to inherit a country that’s worth two [or] three hundred trillion dollars. They’re probably going to live to 120; AI is going to cure some cancers … They shouldn’t be bemoaning their situation.”

Sources close to police inquiry say an employee collapsed after nitrogen leak and second woman is in intensive care

Police in Paris have launched an investigation after a woman suffocated while undergoing a cryotherapy session at a city gym and a second is in intensive care.

The dead woman, a 29-year-old employee of the gym, collapsed after a nitrogen leak from a cold chamber that had been repaired earlier in the day, sources close to the inquiry said. The colourless and odourless gas is used to create an atmosphere of extreme subzero temperatures.
