      ‘What is going on here?’ Meloni celebrated at Italy’s far-right Atreju Christmas festival

    Week-long event organised by Brothers of Italy looks like winter wonderland but is chance for PM to flaunt power

    When, out of curiosity, Leila Cader and her friends entered the gardens surrounding Castel Sant’Angelo, a prominent Rome monument that once served as a refuge for popes during times of war, they thought they’d chanced upon an enchanting winter wonderland.

    With the scent of mulled wine wafting through the air, Santa’s elves wandering around, stalls selling nativity-scene figurines and skaters merrily gliding on an ice-rink, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

      Machado escape planner feared US strike on her vessel as it fled Venezuela

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • Yesterday - 16:01

    Special forces veteran Bryan Stern says he told US defence officials some of his planned route to reduce airstrike risk

    The most dangerous moments came when salvation seemed finally assured.

    Many miles from land, the small fishing skiff carrying the Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel prize laureate María Corina Machado had been lost at sea for hours, tossed by strong winds and 10ft waves. A further hazard was the ever present risk of an inadvertent airstrike by US warplanes hunting alleged cocaine smugglers.

      The Playboy of the Western World review – Nicola Coughlan serves comedy and tragedy in pub drama

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • Yesterday - 15:30

    Lyttelton theatre, London
    Coughlan plays a barmaid, alongside Derry Girls co-star Siobhán McSweeney, in JM Synge’s 1907 classic

    Every woman loves a bad boy, or so the cliche goes. Here it is tested when Christy Mahon walks into a pub to confess he has killed his father with a farming tool. It’s not quite the truth but he is, to his own surprise, turned into a local celebrity. Women flock to see him and men hail him a hero.

    John Millington Synge’s unromanticised comic portrayal of a farming community in the west of Ireland caused moral outrage at its 1907 premiere at Dublin’s Abbey theatre. This revival by the Abbey’s current artistic director, Caitríona McLaughlin, makes clear that it is something of a woman’s play, ahead of its time, with two female leads abjuring conservative Catholic morality to hope for something bigger than a small, scratching country existence.

    The scene opens on the interior of an aeroplane.

    A suited man in a luxurious seat looks pensively out the window, his face partially obscured, his chin delicately resting on his hand.
