In other news

Some things you may have missed yesterday, because a grumpy, controlling old man, lionised by a media pack he swore at, knighted as he continued to swear and jab in public at referees and officials, feted by a BBC he wouldn't talk to for years, and successful on the back of immense buying power, announced his retirement.

  • Actor and film director Bryan Forbes died, aged 86. He was in The Colditz Story; wrote The Cockleshell Heroes and The League of Gentlemen; his first film as director was Whistle Down The Wind; in the States, he made The Stepford Wives and The Raging Moon.
  • The Home Office is to announce a review into the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, killed with an axe in a pub car park in South London in 1987. The case remains unsolved after six separate police investigations.
  • The legacy of Olympic investment took a blow with the announcement that University College London is not, after all, setting up a campus in Stratford.
  • Russia may be shifting from its support of President Assad of Syria
