Galatasaray also interested in Ndicka
In the coming days questions about the future of Evan Ndicka will be resolved. Roma's number 5, after a season as an absolute protagonist in which he did not miss even a minute of Serie A, could be sacrificed to meet the stringent demands of UEFA's Financial Fair Play. Advertisement Despite the will of the Giallorossi is to sell Angelino and keep the former Eintracht man in the squad, there could be a scenario in which the Spaniard stays in Trigoria and the Ivorian has to pack his bags. According to Sport Mediaset, in addition to some Premier League clubs and Marseille, Galatasaray would also have started the first exploratory contacts to probe the feasibility of the operation.

Boniek: 'I would like to return to Roma.'
Former Roma player and UEFA executive Zbigniew Boniek discussed the Friedkin's decision to appoint Gian Piero Gasperini and Frederic Massara. Moreover, in an interview with Retesport, Boniek expressed desire to return to Roma. Advertisement 'Dan Friedkin enjoys excellent consideration by everyone, he is a good person and seen in a positive way.' 'Roma is in the right hands, the trio of Gasperini, Ranieri and Massara ensure more love for this team. Ranieri is a friend and a Romanista who can only be loved, in addition he has changed the attitude of fans and players.' 'Massara is a capable and silent manager, and if he has the opportunity to work he will do well. I'm curious about Gasperini: I appreciate him because he's a leader who wants a lot of training.' 'I would like to return to Roma, help her do something. However, this depends on ownership. I'm watching with curiosity what's happening: now the stakes of Financial Fair Play must be respected, but I'm convinced that at the beginning of the season the team will be strong.'

When the blame game turns deadly
RACISTS who burned migrants out of their homes this month in Ballymena, County Antrim, have found it strangely difficult to explain what they were up to. There had been a clear trigger moment in the charging of two Roma boys with an alleged sexual assault on a local girl. Many had gathered one evening for a vigil in support of the girl. And that might have been a good thing to do and one would be slow to attribute racism to any who joined that gathering. But would they have gathered in the same numbers if the alleged assailants had been Ballymena-born white boys? The fact of the accused being migrants in the town played such a strong part in local outrage that, after the expressions of sympathies for the girl, mobs turned on migrant families in the area, stormed their homes, set some of them alight, rampaged through others while mothers and children crouched for safety in dark and dusty attic spaces. Whole families might have been incinerated. But not this time. A loyalist mural in Bellymena (Pic: Lisa Jarvis) As with many things in Northern Ireland we got a spectrum of response to this violence, from the callously racist to the liberal, inclusive and secular. And, as often, this spectrum mapped onto the sectarian spectrum too that describes our historically divided society. The hard racism was coming from working class Protestants, justifying the violence in defence of a community that had been invaded. This attitude associated migrants with rape, much as Donald Trump does. Trump's toxic verbiage makes it easier for people to spew the same unreasoning bilge. The problem is that 'they' get everything. 'They' are illegal. 'They' have no right to be here. Except that when officials eventually came out to explain, there were no asylum seekers/illegal migrants in Ballymena. People coming under attack were in jobs, some of them in the health service. Next along the spectrum comes the unionist politician who, naturally, condemns violence but seeks to explain it. For this is a unionist area. This one says that the trouble had been boiling up for months. He or she had seen it coming, had warned that tensions were rising and had been ignored. SDLP leader Claire Hanna in 2017 (Photo: Sam Boal/ But why? And why can this reasonable sounding professional politician not be clearer about what drives community discontent? The health minister Mike Nesbitt warned that if health service workers of foreign origin were driven out of Northern Ireland the service would collapse. That's how serious this is. Then further along the spectrum we got the nationalist response, led most vocally by Claire Hanna MP (SDLP). She was calling out the racism of thugs, conceding nothing to the idea that migrants have special privileges or that anything is lost to a community when brown faces start to appear on the streets. There is however a problem of resources but you deal with that by campaigning for the government to provide, not by throwing a petrol bomb through the window of a young mother who pays the same price for bread and milk as you do yourself. Claire took care to say that there is racism in her community too. Catholics and Nationalists can be racist. Indeed some in the Sinn Féin base, the most ardently nationalistic of all, have scoffed at their own leadership for being too sympathetic to migrants. The old slogan, Give Ireland Back to the Irish, is, for some, no longer simply a call for British withdrawal but for migrants to be deported. But this month the racism was coming from Protestant working class communities and that, for some Catholic Nationalists, helps to affirm the perception that they - the prods - are the bigots, that Protestant/ Loyalist bigotry is the chief problem here. The problem was simple racism but for some it was viewed through a sectarian lens which shows that Protestants are more racist than Catholics. And there is comfort in that. That still leaves us without a clear explanation of why some people want to drive migrant neighbours from their homes. A man interviewed on the street in Portadown, after the violence had spread there, said that the town is no longer like it was forty years ago. Maybe he lives such an insular life that he hasn't noticed that nowhere is like it was forty years ago. Yes, there was a time when you didn't have to lock your front door, when you went to a neighbour to use a phone and left a few coppers on the hall table, when milk was a shilling a pint and everybody knew everybody else and everybody was white and spoke English. But that time isn't coming back for anybody. Perhaps such nostalgia does come with a genuinely felt sense of loss, a loss to be pitied and empathised with. But it's not a loss that can be eased by burning the street. Nor is it a loss likely to have been felt by the teenagers who rampaged against 'dirty foreign scum' - a remark picked up from the crowd by a BBC microphone. Nor is it a loss politicians can capitalise on, so they shouldn't try. See More: Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Racism, Riots

The Story of Movies in the 21st Century Is One of Context Collapse
It's mostly the internet's fault, but in the past 25 years, the lines we drew in the 20th century got blurry. Time and space have collapsed. Now you can attend a meeting across the country, text your long-distance boyfriend halfway around the world, and watch a decades-old movie from another hemisphere on TV at home, all in one day. We've learned to make friends with people we've never met and develop obsessions with things we'd never have known about had we lived at any other point in human history. The story of the 21st century, among other things, is a tale of crumbling contexts and newly porous boundaries. Small wonder, then, that our 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century list, created by polling hundreds of directors, stars and other film professionals, shows the same trend. Every list tells a story about its maker or, in this case, makers. It's clear, for instance, that the movies they remember were mostly not reboots, remakes or franchise fare, which have become Hollywood's bread and butter. Star vehicles are fading. And while streaming has elbowed in and upended how we watch movies, there's only one film on the list produced by a streamer — No. 46, Alfonso Cuarón's 'Roma,' which Netflix gave a respectable theatrical release. All interesting trends, some encouraging and some troubling. But what strikes me most about the list is this: Long-held categories in the movie business are fading, just like they are in the broader culture. Until pretty recently, for instance, common wisdom held that commercially successful genre fare and self-serious awards films didn't overlap, and that auteurs would pick a lane and stay there. Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' (No. 28) seemed like an outlier in this respect, a Batman movie so good that when it failed to be nominated for best picture in 2009, the academy changed the number of nominee slots from five to 10. But since then, other horror, superhero and action flicks have increasingly sneaked into awards conversations, including 'Get Out' (No. 8), 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (No. 11), 'Black Swan' (No. 81) and 'Black Panther' (No. 96). That may explain the triumph of 2022's best picture winner, 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' (No. 77), a whimsical and occasionally deranged pastiche comedy blended with a sincere-hearted family story that pays obvious, sometimes ironic homage to a number of genres: martial arts, melodrama, science fiction, surrealism, even video games. In fact, some of its references also appear on the list, like Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' (No. 4) and Ang Lee's 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (No. 16). Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
