The drug lord Joaqun El Chapo
Guzmn bankrolled the election of senior Mexico
politicians and twice secretly entered the United

States to visit relatives, according to his eldest

daughter.
Rosa Isela Guzmn Ortiz said that shortly after an
interview with Hollywood star Sean Penn last year,
her father dodged a massive manhunt with the
complicity of corrupt Mexican officials and evaded
US border controls to sneak into California
despite being one of the worlds most wanted
fugitives.
She also accused senior Mexican politicians of
accepting donations from El Chapo when they ran
for office, and said that in return officials turned a
blind eye to his escapes from prison.

PSGs Marco Verratti: Diego Costa is a

good guy but he uses warfare to win
games
Marco Verratti pauses as he considers Paris Saintseason. Being eliminated in the Champions
Germains situation before the second leg of the
last-16 Champions League tie at Chelsea on
Wednesday. PSG are 2-1 up and under pressure to
progress deeper into the tournament after three
consecutive exits in the quarter-finals. The
gameplan seems clear: PSG, says one of the best
young midfielders in the world, must attack from
the outset and go for an early goal.

The Italy international describes the first leg result

as all right. Nothing more, nothing less. We
confirmed we are a good team but there are things
we could have done better, he says. We could have
put Chelsea in more trouble. We have to go to

League would be a bit of a disaster.

PSG will try to keep the ball as much as they did in
Paris 65% but is that a realistic target at
Stamford Bridge? Yes, because thats our style of
playing, we like to play football, Verratti says.
Either way we will have to show more personality
than in the first leg, because were playing at
Stamford Bridge, which is always different from
playing at home. But we need to play the same kind
of football, yes.

ozens of near-misses between drones and

manned aircraft took place last year one
drone passing within 25 metres of a Boeing777 near Heathrow airport, according to the
UK Airprox Board, which investigates
incidents in British airspace.
Last week the British Airline Pilots
Association (Balpa) called for research into
the effects of a collision; its safety expert
warned that these could include smashed
cockpit windscreens and uncontrolled engine
failures in which you end up with very
high-velocity bits of metal going anywhere
they like. That could be through fuel tanks,
through hydraulic lines and even into the
cabin.
Arent there laws to stop this sort of thing?
So far Britains Civil Aviation Authority has
adopted a light touch in regulating drones.
Only those that weigh more than 20kg or are
used for commercial purposes need be
registered. Instead, the CAA prefers to
educate users through its Dronecode video
and the advice to use your common sense
and fly sensibly you could be prosecuted if
you dont.

The rules are straightforward: you should

always keep your drone within view, using
unaided line of sight rather than flying it
through the camera, and dont fly it above
122 metres or beyond 500 metres
horizontally. Drones with cameras should be
kept 50 metres from vehicles, people,
buildings or structure, and users should be
mindful not to breach the privacy of others.
In the United States, by contrast, where an
estimated 700,000 drones were sold last
year, the Federal Aviation
Authority (FAA) requires all drones weighing
more than half a pound 227g to be
registered and labelled with an FAA
registration number. This followed more than
700 reports of near misses between drones
and aircraft, and increased reports of injuries
involving hobbyist drones.

The secret life of a games programmer:

Ive lived my dream and it came up
short

At the age of 11, I wrote my own version of Space

Invaders. Someone I met on the internet who I
knew only as Mit (it was a more trusting time)
gave me the code. I muddled my way through the
logic of enemies sliding back and forth, collisions
and player controls, and after a few weeks was
completely hooked. I loved playing computer
games, and now I could make my own: I knew that
I definitely wanted to become a games
programmer.

When I left university, it was in the middle of the

last economic meltdown and buying games wasnt
really peoples top priority. The whole industry was
going through a massive round of layoffs, so jobs
were thin on the ground. In the end I was incredibly
lucky, landing a junior role at a major UK studio
owned by a console manufacturer just after they
had made some more experienced engineers
redundant.

Ivory Coast aims to entice investors

with 'new vibe' of stability and
growth

Because they break for commercials, the

show just goes on and on. The Baftas are
wonderful; you sit in a theatre, theres
champagne, you can get drunk

As many economies in Africa wrestle with the

consequences of a slowdown in China and
depreciating currencies, Ivory Coast has
bucked the trend. The country is enjoying
strong growth and focusing on infrastructure
projects, job creation, and improving its
business climate to win back investors after
years of political paralysis.
Leading the economic charge is former
Goldman Sachs trader Abdourahmane Ciss,
the 34-year-old budget minister, who says
the worlds top cocoa producer is strong
enough to weather external shocks, while
stability is almost guaranteed.

Ivory Coast has been frozen in political stasis

since rebels seized the north in 2002,
causing the effective division of the former
French colony and years of tensions,
culminating in a four-month civil war that
killed about 3,000 people in early 2011 after
former president Laurent Gbagbo refused to
accept defeat at the ballot box.
Gbagbo and youth leader Charles Bl Goud
are now on trial at the international criminal
court for crimes against humanity. The shortlived conflict ended when Alassane Ouattara
took office after a military intervention by
France. Ouattara was re-elected by a
landslide last year and, despite some fears of
unrest, the poll was peaceful and seemed to
confirm a return to stability.

Dustin Hoffman: I was an outsider. I

came to New York and I was cleaning
toilets
Last Sunday evening, Dustin Hoffman wasnt
at the Oscars but watching the New York
Knicks play Miami Heat at basketball. His
friend Spike Lee happened to be there too,
pointedly dressed in a tuxedo. Laughing,
Hoffman asked him as he passed: Are we
making a statement?
Lee, of course, was boycotting the event in
protest at the lack of nominees of colour.
While sympathetic to the cause, Hoffman
was simply enjoying a night out. Though he
has won two Academy Awards for best actor
for Kramer vs Kramer in 1980 and Rain Man
in 1989 the Oscars are not his idea of fun.
I wasnt invited, I wasnt nominated and I
would never go just to go, he says. Its one
of the worst shows in town if youre there.

and you just watch the show, Leonard Fry

[sic] or whatever from beginning to end. So I
was very happy to be at the Knicks game.
Hoffman often professes himself riven with
insecurities and convinced that every job will
be his last. You dont erase the first 10 years
of your life, it stays with you, its imprinted
you didnt work! he says. Selfishly, I feel,
well, I just got in under the gun. However,
he has nothing to prove. With a catalogue of
era-defining movies including The Graduate,
Lenny, All the Presidents Men, Straw Dogs
and Tootsie, hes one of the pre-eminent film
stars of the last 50 years. While its doubtful

that Kung Fu Panda 3, the film hes

promoting today in New York, will join The
Graduate and Midnight Cowboy in the
National Film Registry, its still a perfectly

charming kids movie, enhanced by

Hoffmans infinitely expressive growl.
