#WorldatFive 🌎: The arrest of El Chapo's wife may open up new avenues for prosecutors — especially if they decide to co-operate for the sake of their children thetimes.co.uk/article/el-cha…
Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of the Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, is now in a high-security prison in Colorado. Her arrest at Dulles international airport was the latest move by the US government against the Sinaloa cartel
This arrest may open up new possibilities.

David Lorino, former special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s office in Chicago, thought there was a chance that prosecutors hoped her arrest might persuade Guzmán to co-operate
“Chapo’s never really given it up but now that his wife’s in custody he may say: ‘If you give my wife some space, I will tell you what I know. About everything. Who he paid, how high up [they were]: it would be a story to fill books.” Read more: thetimes.co.uk/article/el-cha…

What’s to become of Michael Gove?

Boris Johnson’s ally-turned-Judas, who now sits beside him as a key power player in government, appears to be facing another fall from grace. But is it that simple?
thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-…
Ever since Boris Johnson entered Downing Street with a central pledge to “get Brexit done” he has charged Michael Gove with the practicalities of delivering it.

Yet in recent weeks Gove has seen that power stripped and handed to others.
Lord Frost, Johnson’s erstwhile Brexit negotiator, has now assumed Gove’s responsibilities for negotiating the UK’s future relationship with the EU - leaving the cabinet minister increasingly powerless

Come June 21, assuming everything remains on target, restrictions in England will be largely at an end.

But will the country be truly back to normal, or to a new normal? And if the latter, what will that mean? @whippletom on what might happen thetimes.co.uk/article/will-t…
Offices

Offices have changed, workers have changed their expectations, employers have learnt just what is possible over Zoom. Pret might well recover, but home working is here to stay
Pubs

One of the reviews that needs to be concluded before June 21 is into social distancing and, specifically, the 1m rule.

Shamima Begum will not be allowed to return to Britain to fight the stripping of her citizenship, the Supreme Court has ruled.

Judges found that Begum’s right to a fair and effective appeal did not trump other rights, such as public safety.
thetimes.co.uk/article/shamim…
The ruling concludes one aspect of a two-year battle by Begum to return to the UK following the collapse of ISIS - one begun when the Times’s own @A_Loyd_Times discovered her at the al-Roj refugee camp in northeast Syria.
Begum, who had been radicalised online, deserted a stable home and family for life under Isis, and became emblematic of the lure of the self-styled caliphate at the height of its tyranny.

#WorldatFive 🌎: The Mars Perseverance’s dramatic touchdown stirred the emotions and imagination of millions of people.

But the technological spinoffs are also worth exploring, @JacquiGoddard1 reports thetimes.co.uk/article/why-th…
“It’s a dream come true but it’s not only those of us on the team who are relieved and excited. I think this is a huge and wonderful ‘good news’ distraction for the rest of the world,” said Dr Jim Bell, a professor at Arizona State University
“Now we have another Mars landing and a Covid vaccine. These are great demonstrations of the power of science in our society and it’s to celebrate.”

The figures lay bare the level of knife crime before the pandemic hit last year, and come after Boris Johnson warned the public that violent crime was likely to “rebound” when lockdown restrictions began to be lifted
