Marinelli: my 15-year quest to ski the biggest face in the Alps
The FT’s travel editor on falling down a rabbit hole of obsession with the ‘most difficult, most beautiful’ descent in Europe
helluva an adventure from the FT travel editor Tom Robbins - skiing down the Monte Rosa, a huge massif that sits on the Swiss-Italian border - described as "the most impressive, most dangerous, most difficult — but also most beautiful — descent in the Alps”. www.ft.com/content/3fc3...

The world is looking for the Kinahan drug lords. We found them
Our investigation has obtained images of Daniel and Christy Kinahan living freely in Dubai despite an international manhunt. Why aren’t they in custody?
maybe there should be less focus on the influencers of Dubai and more on the likes of Kinahans - this is a remarkable investigation, tracking them down through an AI-powered facial recognition search by the Times and Bellingcat www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

Looking forward to Arsenal fans counting every time a Hürzeler team goalkeeper goes down in a match or producing data how many times his current goalkeeper has done it.
