Late comeback help City to secure a play-off spot, keeping hopes of promotion alive
There were scenes of jubilation at Ashton Gate as Nahki Wells and his Bristol City teammates snatched a dramatic 2-2 draw from the jaws of defeat against Preston North End, a result that clinched their coveted Championship play-off qualification. Trailing by two goals with time running out, City staged a stunning comeback on a day brimming with tension and play-off permutations across the league.
Preston North End, acutely aware that victory would secure their Championship status for another season, had silenced the home faithful when Emil Riis opened the scoring in the first half. The atmosphere intensified in the second period as Milutin Osmajic doubled Preston’s advantage on the hour mark, seemingly putting Bristol City’s play-off hopes in jeopardy. A defeat for Nigel Pearson’s side could have allowed rivals Millwall or Blackburn Rovers to leapfrog them into the top six.
However, Bristol City displayed remarkable resilience and fighting spirit in the final stages. Ross McCrorie ignited the comeback, pulling a goal back to inject a surge of hope into the Ashton Gate crowd. With play-off dreams hanging precariously, McCrorie then struck again, his second goal of the game levelling the score at 2-2 and sparking wild celebrations. The dramatic draw ensured Bristol City’s place in the Championship play-offs, their tenacity and Nahki Wells’ contribution throughout the season ultimately securing them a shot at promotion.
Commissioner of Police: Heightened visibility “helping prevent untoward activity”
Images supplied.
The Bermuda Police Service issued the following media release.
The Bermuda Police Service wishes to express its gratitude to those members of the community who have so far come forward and provided information to assist with the ongoing investigation into the tragic events which occurred on Thursday night. Your help is making a difference
Particularly in response to the video clip circulated of the suspects.
The Bermuda Police Service will maintain heightened patrols islandwide, combined with comprehensive liquor license inspections, and community engagement initiatives for the remainder of the weekend.
Specialist teams, including the Police Support Unit, and Gang Taskforce, will continue to work with patrols and the Roads Policing Unit to conduct 315-F stop and search operations.
This enforcement action has resulted in seven arrests, which included one for possession of a knife, one for dangerous driving by an underage driver, five for outstanding traffic warrants.
The high-visibility presence outside bars and nightclubs helped ensure there were no reports of antisocial behaviour.
Commissioner Darrin Simons stated, “I would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation when approched by officers at checkpoints.”
“While these checkpoints may be inconvenient, they are helping prevent untoward activity.”
Spain has asked investigators and European Union regulators to investigate last Monday’s outage

International news via Reuters:
Europe’s ageing power grid and lack of energy storage capacity will require trillions of dollars in investments to cope with rising green energy output, increasing electricity demand and to avoid blackouts.
A week ago, Spain and Portugal lost power in their worst blackout. Authorities are investigating the cause, but whatever the findings, analysts and industry representatives say infrastructure investment is essential.
“The blackout was a wake-up call. It showed that the need to modernise and reinforce Europe’s electricity grid is urgent and unavoidable,” Kristina Ruby, secretary general at Eurelectric, Europe’s electricity industry association, said.
The European Union’s power grid mostly dates back to the last century and half the lines are over 40 years old. Rising low-carbon energy production and booming demand from data centres and electric vehicles require an overhaul of the grids that also need digital protection to withstand cyber attacks.
While global investment in renewables has nearly doubled since 2010, investment in grids has barely changed at around $300 billion a year. The amount needs to double by 2030 to over $600 billion a year to cover the necessary overhauls, according to the International Energy Agency.
Spain has asked its own investigators and European Union regulators to investigate last Monday’s outage.
While the underlying issues have yet to become clear, grid operator Red Electrica said two separate incidents had triggered the massive power loss.
It follows an acceleration in renewable energy use, especially in Spain, after Russia’s invasion invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the resulting disruption of oil and gas supplies focused EU efforts on reducing dependence on fossil fuel.
The share of renewables rose to 47% in the EU’s power mix last year from 34% in 2019, while fossil fuels dropped to 29% from 39%, data from think tank Ember showed.
Spain plans to phase out coal and nuclear power. Renewable generation hit a record high at 56% of Spain’s power mix in 2024.
Wind and solar projects are relatively quick to build compared with grids, which can take more than a decade.
Part of the problem is the huge sums and complexity of improving a grid over a large distance.
The European Commission has estimated Europe needs to invest $2.0-2.3 trillion in grids by 2050.
Last year, European firms invested 80 billion euros ($90.5 billion) in grids, up from 50-70 billion in previous years, analysts at Bruegel said while adding investments may need to rise to 100 billion.
INTER-STATE CONNECTIONS
Spain and Portugal’s power systems are among those in Europe that lack connections to other grids that can provide back up.
Spain needs more links to France and Morocco, said José Luis Domínguez-García from Spain’s energy research centre IREC in Catalunya.
Spain has only 5% of connections outside the Iberian Peninsula, he added.
As some other countries also lag, the European Commission has a target to increase interconnection to 15% by 2030, from a previous goal of 10%, meaning each EU member country should be able to import at least 15% of its power production capacity from neighbouring countries.
Spain will reinforce connections with France, including a new link via the Bay of Biscay that will double the interconnection capacity between the two countries, Spain’s grid Red Electrica said on Tuesday.
NEED FOR BACK UP
As solar and wind generation grows, the challenges go beyond upgrading grids to the need for back-up generation.
Solar and wind farms generate direct current power, while traditional gas or nuclear plants generate alternating current.
DC power is converted to AC in inverters to standard 50 Hertz frequency for European grids and use in homes and businesses. If power generation drops, the grid requires back-up AC power to prevent the frequency from dropping.
In the event frequency drops, automatic safety mechanisms disconnect some generation to prevent overheating, damage to transformers or transmission lines. If too many plants drop off at the same time, the system can experience a blackout.
Before last week’s outage, Spain had suffered power glitches and industry officials had repeatedly warned of grid instability.
Spain’s energy officials have also said the country’s plans to shut down all seven of its nuclear reactors by 2035 could put power supply at risk.
Portugal has only two back-up plants – a gas and a hydro plant – able to quickly respond if the grid needs more power, Portugal’s Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said on Tuesday, adding the country wants more.
In Britain, a blackout in 2019 cut power to a million customers, when a lightning strike and a second, unrelated incident lowered the frequency of the grid.
Since then, the country has invested to expand battery storage and had around 5 gigawatts of capacity installed at the end of last year, according to industry association RenewableUK. It can help balance the grid in the same way as power plants.
Europe has 10.8 gigawatts of battery storage and it will grow to 50 GW by 2030 – much less than the required 200 GW, according to the European Association for Storage of Energy.
In Ireland, Siemens Energy has built the world’s largest flywheel, which can also operate as power storage and help to stabilise the grid.

The U.S. deported to Rwanda a resettled Iraqi refugee whom it had long tried to extradite

International news via Reuters:
Rwanda is in the early stages of talks to receive immigrants deported from the United States, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said on television late on Sunday.
Rwanda has in recent years positioned itself as a destination country for migrants that Western countries would like to remove, despite concerns by rights groups that Kigali does not respect some of the most fundamental human rights.
Kigali signed an agreement with Britain in 2022 to take in thousands of asylum seekers from the UK before the deal was scrapped last year by then newly-elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We are in discussions with the United States,” Nduhungirehe said in an interview with the state broadcaster Rwanda TV.
“It has not yet reached a stage where we can say exactly how things will proceed, but the talks are ongoing…still in the early stages.”
Trump launched a sweeping crackdown on immigration and attempted to freeze the U.S. refugee resettlement program after the start of his second term in January.
His administration has pushed aggressively to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally and other non-citizens.
The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) warned there was a risk some migrants sent to Rwanda could be returned to countries from which they had fled. Kigali denied the allegations and accused UNHCR of lying.
Last month the U.S. deported to Rwanda a resettled Iraqi refugee whom it had long tried to extradite in response to Iraqi government claims that he worked for the Islamic State, according to a U.S. official and an internal email.
The Supreme Court in April temporarily blocked Trump’s administration – which has invoked a rarely used wartime law – from deporting a group of Venezuelan migrants it accused of being gang members.

The extremist classification allows the spy agency to step up monitoring of the AfD

International news via Reuters:
A German court said on Monday that far-right party Alternative for Germany had filed a lawsuit challenging the domestic intelligence agency’s decision to classify it as an extremist organisation.
A spokesperson for the administrative court in Cologne said the lawsuit and a corresponding emergency petition had been submitted, both of which would be reviewed once the BfV domestic intelligence agency had confirmed that it had been notified.
The extremist classification announced on Friday allows the spy agency to step up monitoring of the AfD, the biggest opposition party in parliament, for example by recruiting informants and intercepting party communications.
The agency’s 1,100-page experts’ report, which is not to be released to the public, found the AfD to be a racist and anti-Muslim organisation.
The German parliament could now attempt to limit or halt public funding for the AfD. The incoming government will also review whether to launch an attempt at an outright ban of the party, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil said last week.
The AfD has denounced the designation as a politically motivated attempt to discredit and criminalize it.
Its lawsuit comes one day before conservative leader Friedrich Merz is due to be elected chancellor by Germany’s lower house of parliament and amid a heated debate within his party over how to deal with the AfD.

The President has been a vocal critic of workplace diversity, equity and inclusion policies

International news via Reuters:
President Donald Trump recently ordered federal agencies not to enforce laws that prohibit policies and practices with discriminatory impacts that are often unintended. Curbing so-called “disparate impact” liability, which is common in employment-related cases, removes a critical tool the government has used for decades to also police discrimination in housing, education, lending and other areas.
WHAT IS DISPARATE IMPACT LIABILITY?
Numerous federal laws, some dating to the years after the Civil War, prohibit discrimination based on race, sex, religion and other protected traits. Courts long understood discrimination to be an intentional act, but that began to change after the adoption of the landmark Civil Rights Act in 1964.
The U.S. Supreme Court created a new path to hold employers liable for discrimination in the 1971 case Griggs v. Duke Power. The court said that otherwise neutral employment practices can violate the Civil Rights Act when they disproportionately affect a protected group and are not demonstrably related to job performance.
Congress in 1991 amended the Civil Rights Act to explicitly prohibit the practices covered by the Supreme Court decision. Many experts have credited those changes for helping to spur companies to track the impact of their employment policies on protected groups, a now commonplace practice.
WHY DOES TRUMP OPPOSE DISPARATE IMPACT LIABILITY?
Trump in an April 23 executive order said disparate impact litigation is one of the tools used by a “pernicious movement” to replace merit-based decisionmaking with a focus on diversity.
The Republican president has been a vocal critic of workplace diversity, equity and inclusion policies and has launched an aggressive effort to eradicate them from the government and the private sector.
During Trump’s first term, some federal agencies considered rolling back disparate impact regulations. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2020 eliminated Obama-era rules barring housing practices with disparate impacts on protected groups, but that was paused by a court and later reversed by the Biden administration.
Trump in April’s executive order said the threat of disparate impact litigation prevents businesses from making decisions based on merit and skill, and that the legal theory wrongly presumes that unlawful discrimination exists “where there are any differences in outcomes” among different groups.
WHAT DO LEGAL ADVOCATES SAY?
Legal advocates point out that plaintiffs using disparate impact analysis are generally required to show statistically significant differences that cannot be explained by legitimate, non-discriminatory factors in order to win disparate impact lawsuits.
Many legal experts and civil rights advocates say disparate impact liability is a crucial tool for uncovering systemic discrimination that may be unintentional but affects workers and communities. They say it holds employers and others accountable when they fail to change their practices and that the latest order risks exacerbating disparities.
WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF DISPARATE IMPACT?
Even the most routine policies can have disparate impacts on specific groups. Many companies stopped administering physical fitness tests or changed eligibility requirements for jobs after a surge in lawsuits during the Obama administration claiming such policies discriminated against women and older or disabled workers.
Other employers have been sued for refusing to hire people with criminal records, which can have a disparate impact on Black and Hispanic job applicants. Advocates argue that Black and Hispanic people are disproportionately convicted of crimes due to inequities in the criminal justice system.
A policy with a disparate impact can be legal when it is necessary to operate a business. For example, law firms can require applicants for jobs as lawyers to have law degrees and banks can deny loans to people with low credit scores even if those policies disproportionately exclude members of certain groups.
WHAT DOES TRUMP’S ORDER DO?
Trump declared a government-wide policy “to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible” and directed federal agencies to deprioritize enforcement of disparate impact laws.
Trump told the heads of federal agencies, including the Attorney General, the chairs of the Equal Employment Opportunity and Federal Trade commissions, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not to pursue cases attempting to hold businesses and others liable for disparate impact discrimination.
Trump also told federal agencies to evaluate whether existing cases and settlements that rely on disparate impact claims comport with his order. That means some employers, schools, banks and others could be released from settlements they entered into years ago, including requirements to adopt anti-discrimination policies and submit to outside monitoring.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Trump’s order will likely lead the agencies to drop some existing cases and settlements, and deter them from bringing any lawsuits or brokering settlements involving disparate impact claims.
Trump’s order may face legal challenges by groups and individuals who have filed discrimination complaints with federal agencies, likely claiming that Trump exceeded his authority by issuing it. Many of the more than 140 executive orders issued by Trump since January have been challenged in court by nonprofits, unions, workers and Democratic state officials, among others.

Alcatraz housed notorious U.S. criminals such as Al Capone before it closed in 1963

International news via Reuters:
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he was directing the Federal Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen the infamous Alcatraz prison in the San Francisco Bay to “house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.”
“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” he posted on the Truth Social platform. “When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm.”
The federal prison at Alcatraz housed notorious U.S. criminals such as Al Capone before it closed in 1963. It is now one of San Francisco’s most popular tourist destinations.
“Today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ,” Trump wrote.
Trump told reporters as he returned to the White House from Florida, that reopening the prison was “Just an idea I’ve had” and decided to act on.
“It’s a symbol of law and order,” he said.
Alcatraz was billed as America’s most secure prison given the island location, frigid waters and strong currents. No successful escapes were ever officially recorded from Alcatraz, though five prisoners are listed as “missing and presumed drowned.”
Alcatraz was closed because it was too expensive to continue operating, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) website, in large part due to its island location. It was nearly three times more costly to operate than any other federal prison, the BOP website said.
Nancy Pelosi, former House speaker and Democratic lawmaker from California, downplayed the Republican President’s plan.

A separate exit poll put Simion in first place and centrist candidates in second

International news via Reuters:
Romanian hard-right candidate George Simion was ahead in a presidential election first round, followed by centrist candidate Crin Antonescu, an exit poll showed on Sunday.
A separate exit poll put Simion in first place and centrist candidates Antonescu and Nicusor Dan neck and neck in second.
Romania’s Social Democrat Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu faced calls to resign on Monday after a far-right opposition leader won the first round of the presidential election re-run, heightening political uncertainty in the country.
Hard-right eurosceptic George Simion decisively swept the ballot, with some 41% of votes, and will face Bucharest mayor, Nicusor Dan, an independent centrist, in a May 18 run-off. A ruling coalition candidate, Crin Antonescu came third.
A Simion victory could isolate Romania, erode private investment and destabilise NATO’s eastern flank, where Bucharest plays a key role in providing logistical support to Ukraine as it fights a three-year-old Russian invasion, political observers say.
It would also expand a cohort of eurosceptic leaders in the European Union that already includes the Hungarian and Slovak prime ministers at a time when Europe is struggling to formulate its response to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Several members of the ruling Liberal and Social Democrat (PSD) parties said the government was no longer viable.
“It is very clear that there must be a government without Marcel Ciolacu because he no longer has legitimacy,” Liberal senior executive and lawmaker Robert Sighiartau told reporters outside party headquarters in Bucharest.
Coalition officials are expected to meet later on Monday.
Ciolacu rejected the idea of resigning when asked by reporters on Sunday night.
“The Social Democrats and the Liberals are in a very tight spot,” said Cristian Pirvulescu, a political scientist. “Even if this coalition continues, it will not do so for long, and the risk of fractures within both parties is very high.”
The vote underscores simmering anger among vast parts of the Romanian electorate over high living costs and worries over security.
Sunday’s vote came five months after a first attempt to hold the election was canceled because of alleged Russian interference in favour of far-right frontrunner Calin Georgescu, since banned from standing again.
Simion has said he could appoint Georgescu prime minister should he win.
Romanian debt yields jumped 37 basis points to 7.87% after the election, LSEG Workspace data showed.
Movie and TV production has been exiting Hollywood for locations with better tax incentives
REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni/File Photo
International news via Reuters:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday announced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the country, saying the American movie industry was dying a “very fast death” due to the incentives that other countries were offering to lure filmmakers.
“This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda,” Trump said on Truth Social.
Trump said he was authorizing the relevant government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce, to immediately begin the process of imposing a 100% tariff on all films produced abroad that are then sent into the United States.
He added: “WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on X: “We’re on it.”
Neither Lutnick nor Trump provided any details on how the tariffs would be implemented.
It was unclear if the tariffs would apply to movies on streaming services as well as those shown in theaters, or if they would be calculated based on production costs or box office revenue. Hollywood executives were trying to sort out details on Sunday night. The Motion Picture Association, which represents the major studios, had no immediate comment.
In January, Trump appointed Hollywood veterans Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson to bring Hollywood back “bigger, better and stronger than ever before.”
Movie and TV production has been exiting Hollywood for years, heading to locations with tax incentives that make filming cheaper.
Governments around the world have increased credits and cash rebates to attract productions and capture a greater share of the $248 billion that Ampere Analysis predicts will be spent globally in 2025 to produce content.
All major media companies, including Walt Disney, Netflix and Universal Pictures, film overseas in countries such as Canada and Britain.
Shares in Disney, Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount Global and Amazon.com were lower in early trade on Monday.
On Monday, leaders in Australia and New Zealand responded to Trump’s tariff announcement by saying they would advocate for their local industries. Some Marvel superhero movies have been filmed in Australia, while New Zealand was the backdrop for “The Lord of the Rings” films.
The British media and entertainment union Bectu called on the government to move swiftly to protect the country’s “vital” film industry.
“These tariffs, coming after COVID and the recent slowdown, could deal a knock-out blow to an industry that is only just recovering,” said Bectu head Philippa Childs.
She said they would also threaten tens of thousands jobs of freelancers who make films in the UK.
Film and high-end TV production in the UK was worth 5.6 billion pounds ($7.45 billion) in 2024, a 31% increase on 2023, according to the British Film Institute.
The government’s Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
‘LOT MORE TO LOSE THAN TO GAIN’
In 2023, about half of the spending by U.S. producers on movie and TV projects with budgets of more than $40 million went outside the U.S., according to research firm ProdPro.
Film and television production has fallen by nearly 40% over the last decade in Hollywood’s home city of Los Angeles, according to FilmLA, a non-profit that tracks the region’s production.
The January wildfires accelerated concerns that producers may look outside Los Angeles, and that camera operators, costume designers, sound technicians and other behind-the-scenes workers may move out of town rather than try to rebuild in their neighborhoods.
A ProdPro survey of executives found California was the sixth most preferred place to film in the next two years, behind Toronto, Britain, Vancouver, Central Europe and Australia.
Hollywood producers and labor unions have been urging Governor Gavin Newsom to boost the state’s tax incentives to better compete with other locations.
Trump’s proposed movie tariff follows a series of trade conflicts initiated by his administration, which have roiled markets and led to fears of a U.S. recession.
Former senior Commerce official William Reinsch, a senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said retaliation against Trump’s film tariffs would be devastating.
“The retaliation will kill our industry. We have a lot more to lose than to gain,” he said, adding it would be difficult to make a national security or national emergency case for movies.

The European Union will present a roadmap plan on May 6 on how to wean itself off Russian energy, European Commission spokesperson Stefan de Keersmaecker said on Monday.
“Tomorrow, the College will discuss a roadmap to end Russian energy imports,” he said, referring to the EU’s college of commissioners from the 27 EU countries.
The details of the plan will be presented on Tuesday in Strasbourg by Dan Jorgensen, EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing.
The European Commission has pledged that the EU will quit Russian fossil fuels by 2027 in response to Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump has also said he wants the EU to buy more American gas and EU officials see that as a possible bargaining chip in negotiations about tariffs.
