The Uruguay coach, who had such an impact at Leeds, needs a result at Wembley on Friday after a downturn for the South American side

The pattern is not unfamiliar. Marcelo Bielsa arrives. The force of his personality, the radicalism of his ideas, his charismatic eccentricity, elevates everybody. Results are good, performances intoxicating. The football is not merely successful but comes to be regarded almost as a moral good: playing the right way for a manager who projects a profound sense of integrity.

Gradually the picture changes. Fatigue sets in. Players weary of their manager’s obsessive nature. Pundits and fans begin to wonder if everything has to be quite so relentless all the time. Bielsa’s quirks come to be regarded less with affection than with aggravation. Levels drop, Bielsa leaves.

In a court of law, tech titans will be judged not for who they are, but what they do. We should take comfort in that

Jury verdicts are meant to speak the truth, and today’s verdict in a California courtroom spoke the truth about the pernicious effects of platforms such as Instagram and YouTube on young people in the United States and around the world. The jury found two social media giants, Meta and YouTube, responsible for injuries incurred by a 20-year-old woman over the course of her childhood.

The plaintiff, referred to in court as KGM, claimed that her social media use had begun when she was six years old. Her suit alleged that the sites she regularly used had features designed to hold her attention and keep her coming back.

From a white chocolate cheesecake tart and flourless chocolate cake to double chocolate olive oil and marbled matcha cookies, explore chocolate’s endless versatility

Chocolate is a truly magical ingredient. Not only is it a powerhouse of flavour, it also pairs beautifully with other ingredients to make something incredible. Chocolate isn’t one note, mind; from the heady richness of an intense dark chocolate to the nostalgic creaminess of milk chocolate and the often maligned simplicity of white chocolate, it can be the star of the show or simply the supporting act. Chocolate can do it all.

Three decades after launching the awards, founder Kanya King reflects on being ahead of the crowd and why Mobo has always been more than music

For the audience watching performances by twentysomethings Olivia Dean, Myles Smith and Aitch on Thursday night in the Co-op Live arena in Manchester it will seem like a lifetime away from 1996, when the Mobo awards began.

What has become known as a joyful celebration of music of Black origin came from “a very real sense of frustration”, said Kanya King, Mobo’s founder and chief executive. “I could see the impact that Black music and culture was having on British culture – I mean it was shaping everything – but it wasn’t being properly recognised or respected by the mainstream industry.”

De eerste eikenprocessierupsen van dit voorjaar zijn al gesignaleerd, vroeger dan ooit eerder in Nederland. Kenniscentrum Eikenprocessierups laat weten dat de beestjes, die later in het seizoen voor veel hinder kunnen zorgen, begin deze week in Hengelo (Overijssel) zijn waargenomen.

"Rond half mei kunnen we de eerste brandharen verwachten", laat het kenniscentrum via natuurplatform Nature Today weten. Bij warm weer kan dat eerder worden.

Zon en warmte

Het vorige record stond op 30 maart en werd in 2014 genoteerd. Ditmaal werden de beestjes een week eerder gezien, op 23 maart. "De combinatie van zeer hoge temperaturen en veel zonneschijn heeft waarschijnlijk tot dit record geleid", verklaren de rupsenkenners.

Als de rupsen groter zijn, krijgen ze honderdduizenden minuscule haren. Die laten los wanneer ze zich bedreigd of gestrest voelen. Bij mensen veroorzaakt contact met de haartjes jeuk, huiduitslag en irritaties aan luchtwegen en ogen.
