Prince Andrew was reportedly ordered to step down by Prince Philip following the worsening crisis surrounding his friendship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Duke of Edinburgh is said to have told his disgraced son to stop royal duties following the backlash over his connection with the now dead billionaire. A insider at Sandringham, where the showdown took place, told the Daily Telegraph : "It was a tense meeting and Philip told his son that he had to take his punishment."

Claudio Ranieri will spend part of this international break in Rome and as he wanders through the city of his birth, perhaps stopping off for a glass of wine at a favourite trattoria, the 64-year-old may well reflect on the sporting sensation he has inspired back in England and how, week by week, something that long seemed impossible is becoming a firm reality. Leicester City are poised to become Premier League champions. It is a beguiling prospect and one Ranieri has tried hard to play down.

He insisted he and his players “don’t speak about the title” and that their focus is solely on “our performance”. But this is one area in which the manager is failing; his players are openly talking about finishing on top, while the supporters are practically singing themselves … [Read more...] about Claudio Ranieri plays it cool but Leicester players and fans believe title is on

The last thing Robert Yuen said to Calvin Fong was, “It’s going to be OK.” The two teenagers and their friend Donald Kwan lay among a mess of smashed dishes, ice water and hot soup on the floor of San Francisco’s Golden Dragon restaurant, all bleeding from gunshot wounds, casualties in one of the city’s most horrific crimes. As it turned out, Fong and Kwan were not OK. They were two of the five people killed early in the morning of Sept. 4, 1977, in an atrocity that altered the lives of everyone in that Chinatown restaurant — as well as Chinatown itself. It was the culmination of years of gang violence that had killed dozens of people in a neighborhood that was both a tourist attraction and home to thousands of low-income immigrants. Most of the gang wars’ casualties had been combatants gunned down in the streets. This time the battleground was a well-known restaurant, and most of the people there had no idea who was doing the shooting or why. … [Read more...] about SF’s Golden Dragon massacre: 40 years later, victims still have scars
