      Georgina Hayden’s recipe for sea bream with herby lemon and caper burnt butter

    Fried fish, served with greens or a salad, makes for a delicious light meal in minutes

    Frying a piece of fish has a bit of a bad rep, and I’m not really sure why; you can have a deeply delicious and light meal in less than 10 minutes (though that, of course, also depends on its accompaniments). If I don’t want anything too hearty, I’ll often serve it with greens or a salad, so it really is a quick turnaround. I love this simple brown butter caper dressing, because it doesn’t overpower the fish. However, if you want something a little punchier, add a spoonful of harissa to the mix.

      Italian teams cannot cope with modern football’s intensity. They need a reboot | Philipp Lahm

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

    Fifteen years on from a Serie A side winning the Champions League, Atlético Madrid are the blueprint for return to the top

    I am also a child of Italian football. My school was called AC Milan. The 4-0 win against Barcelona in the 1994 Champions League final was the benchmark in my training for how a team attack and defend together. What distances do we keep? Who is responsible for winning the ball? When are cross-field passes forbidden? No other game was shown more often by our Swedish chief instructor Björn Andersson; he must have seen it a hundred times.

    My other experience of Italy: I suffered heavy defeats during my career. In my youth, playing against Italian teams was a nightmare. At tournaments in Sicily, Viareggio or Sardinia, we got nothing for free and always took a beating. Later, we lost the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup and the 2012 Euro with the national team.

      Champions League: previews and predictions for the quarter-finals

    The lowdown on Arsenal v Real Madrid, Bayern v Inter, Barcelona v Borussia Dortmund and PSG v Aston Villa

    By WhoScored

    Second in the Premier League meets second in La Liga. It was marginal gains for Arsenal at the weekend as they closed the gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table by a point, but their only realistic chance of silverware this season is in the Champions League, where they turn their attention to a quarter-final against Real Madrid. Arsenal’s form has been mixed of late – they have only won three of their last eight games after their 1-1 draw at Everton on Saturday – but Real Madrid are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Valencia at the weekend.

      The King of Kings review – Charles Dickens retelling of the Jesus story does a serviceable job

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April • 1 minute

    The famous author tells his son and their cat the story of Jesus in this mixed-bag family animation, voiced by an impressive cast

    This syrupy cartoon account of the life of Jesus (voiced by Oscar Isaac) is narrated, with consummate weirdness, by Charles Dickens (Kenneth Branagh). It’s in fact based on a story Dickens wrote for his children (and wasn’t published until 1934, decades after his death). The idea is that Dickens is telling the story of the New Testament to his young son Walter (Roman Griffin Davis) and Walter’s impish cat, explaining to the King Arthur-obsessed Walter how Jesus was the real King of Kings and all that. And so we see Walter and Charles, in their mid-19th-century garb, wandering through scenes of JC’s life nearly two thousand years earlier, from the nativity to the crucifixion – much like Scrooge and his spectral buddies in A Christmas Carol as they wander through past, present and future Christmases. It rather drags out what is already a pretty long running time given the attention capacity of its target audience.

    On a technical level, it is a pretty mixed bag. The backgrounds and rendering are richly detailed and full of compelling texture, and the lighting is lovely. But the character animation is really ugly: Jesus is given a disturbingly long neck that holds aloft a bobble head with smooth, classically white Jesus long silky hair – he looks like his own action figure. The disciples and ancillary characters are similarly caricatured and exaggerated, with the evil “Pharisees” who persecute Jesus (the word Jewish is barely ever spoken here) designed with pronounced noses.

      Love and Fury: The Extraordinary Life, Death and Legacy of Joe Meek by Darryl W Bullock – review

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

    This richly detailed and exhaustive biography of the maverick 60s British music producer reveals a sonic visionary whose brilliance concealed a tragically violent temper

    Joe Meek first tasted success as a record producer when he created the eerie backdrop for John Leyton’s gothic teen melodrama, Johnny Remember Me, which reached No 1 in the British pop charts in the summer of 1961. A mere six years later, on 3 February 1967, Meek’s name entered the mainstream consciousness in the most darkly dramatic way imaginable, when the news broke that he had killed his landlady, the elderly Violet Shenton, before turning the shotgun on himself.

    In the time between, as Darryl Bullock notes with characteristic understatement in his richly detailed biography Love and Fury , the producer’s chaotic, but hugely creative, life was “directed by his passions and obsessions”.

      Wall Street traders on Trump tariffs: ‘Without doubt, we’re hitting a recession’

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

    Traders leaving the New York stock exchange were trying to make sense of another day of volatility – what comes next?

    Traders leaving the New York stock exchange after the bell closed on Monday were sanguine about what had been, by an measure, a day of mood swings on Wall Street, as waves of volatility shook the stock markets, each one created by another deluge of headlines around Donald Trump’s trade war and global economic uncertainty.

    “The markets opened down a lot, then there was a rumor that the tariffs were off, and they went back up, then all bets were off again and it went down,” said Steve Kos of Option Circle, who offered a series of trading day comparisons as he walked out on to Broad Street in lower Manhattan.

      Anglesey adventure: exploring the treasures of Ynys Môn

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 8 April

    Many dash across this Welsh island en route to Ireland, but it’s worth lingering to explore its historic houses, pristine beaches and thriving restaurant scene

    In 1826, the opening of Thomas Telford’s Menai Suspension Bridge connected mainland Wales to the island of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) for the very first time. The bridge was critical to creating a fast road link to the port of Holyhead and so improving communication links between London and Dublin.

    Today, motoring tourists take advantage of Telford’s vision every day (albeit linking up with the A55 North Wales Expressway) as they head to Holyhead to board ferries to Ireland. But in doing so, they bypass the many meandering, slow lane charms that dot the coastline of Ynys Môn.
