bbc--2020-03-06--Trent Alexander-Arnold: Q&A with Liverpool's flying full-back on crossing, Mbappe and Fifa

At the age of 21 , Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has already played in two Champions League finals and a World Cup and is close to helping the Reds win the league for the first time in 30 years .
BBC Sport bombarded him with as many quick-fire questions as possible .
Some people say you are making the full-back position 'sexy ' .
What do you think about that ?
Ha .
I would n't say that 's what I set out to do .
Going into a game I do n't play to make the full-back position 'sexy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of people underestimate how important the full-back position is .
It 's vital in the sense you 've got to be up and down the pitch , creating things but also defending .
I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I 'm playing 'sexy ' football or not .
How are you so good at crossing ?
Practice really .
When we made the decision for me to go to right-back , that was a massive part of the game .
I 've always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I always took the set-pieces in my academy team so I just tried to hone that talent .
Who made the decision for you to change to right-back ?
It was me , Neil Critchley and Alex Inglethorpe .
Critch was my under-18 manager and Alex was head of the academy .
I wanted to get into the first team as soon as possible , and we decided that was the most straightforward route .
Was it easy to adjust from being a midfielder to a defender ?
No , it was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you are very rarely isolated in a defensive situation .
That was the strangest thing - being one-on-one with someone out wide , with no-one to help .
I 've always enjoyed right-back as there is a lot more freedom going forward .
It 's a lot more chaotic in the middle .
I probably get more of the ball now than I did when I was in midfield .
It 's just about trying to influence the game as much as possible from out there .
I think some people forget you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pressure at all ?
No , I enjoy it , because this is what I 've always dreamed of - being in title races , going to finals , being in a successful team , trying to win things .
Knowing that the team around you is good enough to win every game takes the pressure off .
You 've said your ambition is to win everything for club and country , to be a legend for both and captain both .
You 're aiming quite high ... Yeah , I do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you have is the one you put on yourself .
Why would I be content with what I 've done now ?
It 's good , but why settle for good when you can achieve more and more and make every dream you 've ever wanted come true ?
The folding-the-arms celebration ... what was that all about ?
Mbappe 's celebration !
It 's something I do with my mates ... we joke around .
Obviously I do n't score too much , and I was saying for ages that I 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I think it was about three or four months between my two goals , so I 'd been planning it for a while !
The prospect of winning the league must be very exciting ?
Obviously it 's something you dream of .
At a club like Liverpool , where it 's eluded us for so long , it would stay with the fans for a very long time , but the closer you get to it , the less you think about it , because it 's more of a reality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the hype .
The message from Jurgen Klopp seems to be 'next game , next game ' ... Yeah , because there 's no benefit in thinking too far ahead as that 's when your focus goes .
The manager always says the next game is the most important one of your life and that 's why we go into the next game thinking anything can happen .
The quality of every side we come up against means if we are just at 95 % then we 'll be beaten , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 100 % .
Sum up what the past 18 months have been like ... Unbelievable for me .
There have obviously been disappointments , for example coming so close to the league and not winning it .
But there has been massive , joyous moments .
Dreams that have come true and things that have happened that I never thought I 'd have the opportunity to even do .
Playing two Champions League finals , playing so many games for the club that I love .
Liverpool have scored a lot of late @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something the manager instils ?
Yeah , but 's it also just in the players , knowing that your team-mates have the ability to score those goals .
We know the players we 've got around us and we know if we get them the ball , if we can put balls into the areas , then things will happen .
Late goals are essentially a mindset we 've got into .
Looking ahead to the Euros in the summer , how far do you think England can go ?
Win it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the World Cup we got far , you can see that the squad is so exciting at the moment .
It 's really encouraging , so for us as players , why would we say we can only get to the quarter-finals ?
That would be strange .
We all believe we can win it .
He 's an unbelievable manager .
He has a different coaching style and personality to Jurgen .
He 's obviously less animated but essentially the aims and ambitions are the same .
They are both winners and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A final at Wembley awaits - that would be pretty special would n't it ?
Of course , the opportunity to play a final at Wembley for England is something that not many players will get the chance to do , so we need to make the most of it while we have that opportunity and try and make it happen .
Chess is probably the last thing you 'd associate with a footballer but I know you 're a big fan .
How did that start ?
Just growing up .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ my brothers , and our dad is a big chess fan and he taught us all to play and we found that it was something else we could be competitive in .
Has that competitiveness with your brothers helped mould you into the footballer you are today ?
I 'd say they 've played a massive part in my mentality , and even the amount of football we used to play growing up has helped me because , without even knowing it , I was putting that practice in .
I know you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ last summer you were playing with your friends in Los Angeles and you had to have an early night .
What happened ?
Haha !
We always take our PlayStations when we go away .
One night I was n't the best , I got beat and I stormed off to bed… but in the winter break , I went to Miami and I think I was unbeaten .
It 's not about what happened in the summer , it 's about what happened more recently !

Trent on... defending
Some people say you are making the full-back position 'sexy'. What do you think about that?
Ha. I wouldn't say that's what I set out to do. Going into a game I don't play to make the full-back position 'sexy'. I just think a lot of people underestimate how important the full-back position is. It's vital in the sense you've got to be up and down the pitch, creating things but also defending. I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I'm playing 'sexy' football or not.
How are you so good at crossing?
Practice really. When we made the decision for me to go to right-back, that was a massive part of the game. I've always been a good passer of the ball and I always took the set-pieces in my academy team so I just tried to hone that talent.
Who made the decision for you to change to right-back?
It was me, Neil Critchley and Alex Inglethorpe. Critch was my under-18 manager and Alex was head of the academy. I wanted to get into the first team as soon as possible, and we decided that was the most straightforward route.
Was it easy to adjust from being a midfielder to a defender?
No, it was difficult because when you play higher up you are very rarely isolated in a defensive situation. That was the strangest thing - being one-on-one with someone out wide, with no-one to help. I've always enjoyed right-back as there is a lot more freedom going forward. It's a lot more chaotic in the middle. I probably get more of the ball now than I did when I was in midfield. It's just about trying to influence the game as much as possible from out there.
Alexander-Arnold is the first Liverpool player and first defender to provide more than 10 assists in back-to-back Premier League seasons, which he puts down to lots of practice
Trent on... Trent
I think some people forget you are only 21. Do you feel pressure at all?
No, I enjoy it, because this is what I've always dreamed of - being in title races, going to finals, being in a successful team, trying to win things. Knowing that the team around you is good enough to win every game takes the pressure off.
You've said your ambition is to win everything for club and country, to be a legend for both and captain both. You're aiming quite high...
Yeah, I don't see why not. The only limit you have is the one you put on yourself. Why would I be content with what I've done now? It's good, but why settle for good when you can achieve more and more and make every dream you've ever wanted come true?
The folding-the-arms celebration... what was that all about?
Mbappe's celebration! It's something I do with my mates... we joke around. Obviously I don't score too much, and I was saying for ages that I'd do it when I next scored, and I think it was about three or four months between my two goals, so I'd been planning it for a while!
Alexander-Arnold copied Kylian Mbappe's famous folded-arms goal celebration after scoring Liverpool's fourth and final goal against Leicester City on 26 December
Trent on... Liverpool
The prospect of winning the league must be very exciting?
Obviously it's something you dream of. At a club like Liverpool, where it's eluded us for so long, it would stay with the fans for a very long time, but the closer you get to it, the less you think about it, because it's more of a reality and you can't get caught up in the hype.
The message from Jurgen Klopp seems to be 'next game, next game'...
Yeah, because there's no benefit in thinking too far ahead as that's when your focus goes. The manager always says the next game is the most important one of your life and that's why we go into the next game thinking anything can happen. The quality of every side we come up against means if we are just at 95% then we'll be beaten, which is why we have to be at 100%.

Unbelievable for me. There have obviously been disappointments, for example coming so close to the league and not winning it. But there has been massive, joyous moments. Dreams that have come true and things that have happened that I never thought I'd have the opportunity to even do. Playing two Champions League finals, playing so many games for the club that I love.
Liverpool have scored a lot of late goals this season - is that belief something the manager instils?
Yeah, but's it also just in the players, knowing that your team-mates have the ability to score those goals. We know the players we've got around us and we know if we get them the ball, if we can put balls into the areas, then things will happen. Late goals are essentially a mindset we've got into.
Trent on... England
Looking ahead to the Euros in the summer, how far do you think England can go?
Win it, why not? You've seen at the World Cup we got far, you can see that the squad is so exciting at the moment. It's really encouraging, so for us as players, why would we say we can only get to the quarter-finals? That would be strange. We all believe we can win it.
What's Gareth Southgate like as a manager?
He's an unbelievable manager. He has a different coaching style and personality to Jurgen. He's obviously less animated but essentially the aims and ambitions are the same. They are both winners and want to win every game they can.
A final at Wembley awaits - that would be pretty special wouldn't it?
Of course, the opportunity to play a final at Wembley for England is something that not many players will get the chance to do, so we need to make the most of it while we have that opportunity and try and make it happen.
Alexander-Arnold was uncapped and just 19 years old when Gareth Southgate named him in his 23-man England squad for the World Cup in Russia in 2018
Trent on... chilling
Chess is probably the last thing you'd associate with a footballer but I know you're a big fan. How did that start?
Just growing up. Everything was really competitive between me and my brothers, and our dad is a big chess fan and he taught us all to play and we found that it was something else we could be competitive in.
Has that competitiveness with your brothers helped mould you into the footballer you are today?
I'd say they've played a massive part in my mentality, and even the amount of football we used to play growing up has helped me because, without even knowing it, I was putting that practice in.

What are the coronavirus symptoms ?
Coronavirus is a respiratory disease which seems to start with a fever , followed by a dry cough .
After a week , it leads to shortness of breath and some patients require hospital treatment .
These symptoms do not necessarily mean you have the illness .

Regular and thorough hand washing is crucial in the fight to avoid picking up the disease , health agencies say .
It is not yet known exactly how coronavirus spreads from person to person .
However , similar viruses are spread via droplets , such as those produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes .
So , coughing and sneezing into tissues , not touching your face with unwashed hands , and trying to avoid close contact with infected people are important .

bbc--2020-03-06--School's out: Parents stressed by Italy coronavirus shutdown

At the San Cosimato playground in Rome , parents have that unmistakeable look of `` how on Earth am I going to entertain them ? ''
The perennial problem has struck early this year : with schools and universities now closed across Italy until at least 15 March , in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus , some 8.4 million children are out of class well before the Easter break .
It 's an unprecedented response by Europe 's worst-hit country .
Malvina Diletti watches her eight-year-old , Edoardo , play on the climbing frame .
`` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's not even enough to discover if you 're sick , '' she says .
`` So they 'll probably extend it , which is bad as it 's tiring to have them home all the time .
They may be happy today - it 's the first day - but they 'll get bored eventually . ''
They are heading home for lunch with six other children , as parents are taking it in turn to host , sharing the babysitting load during this difficult period .
`` It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with us , '' Malvina tells me , `` because if more elderly got sick , hospitals would just crash . ''
On Thursday the Italian authorities reported 41 deaths from the virus in the past 24 hours , raising the total death toll to 148 in Italy .
Currently 3,296 people are infected in the country .
This was the first country in Europe to ban all flights to China ; the first to cordon off entire towns ; and now it 's the first to close all schools and universities , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ outbreak .
`` Maybe they 've done it to protect the older teachers , '' says Malvina , `` since the children are still mixing out of school .
`` It does n't really make sense - but we accept it and will do it for the community . ''
Edoardo says he 's enjoying being off school , `` but it 's strange because it 's the first time '' .
I ask if he understands why it 's happening .
`` Yes , '' he replies , `` it 's to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do I need to know about the coronavirus ?

`` The teacher enters a virtual classroom , does the roll call and can see students connected on their devices .

`` This could be a turning point in Italian education , '' she says , `` and a chance to create innovative methods .

Some schools are recording entire lessons on WhatsApp , while others are incorporating the news into their lessons , one teacher telling an Italian newspaper that she 'd asked pupils to come up with stories about `` the monster of coronavirus '' .

`` I have the key - I can lock the door , '' he says .
Italy 's tourism sector is now predicted to lose €7.4bn ( £6.4bn ; $ 8.3bn ) as a result of the outbreak .

`` All the waiters we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ livelihoods .

And for many the most damaging thing is not knowing when this uncertainty will pass .

A 14-year-old boy believed to have been abducted over his step-brother 's multi-million drug debt is home with his parents , Toronto Police say .
The teenager was forced into a jeep on Wednesday in the city 's north end .
He was found `` dishevelled '' but safe in a Toronto suburb late on Thursday .

bbc--2020-03-06--Woody Allen book pulped after walkout at publisher

A US publishing house has cancelled plans to publish a memoir by Woody Allen , the award-winning film director who has been accused of sexual abuse .
Hachette Book Group ( HBG ) acted on Friday a day after its employees staged a walkout in New York and Boston to protest against the publication .
Allen 's son and daughter , Ronan and Dylan Farrow , had condemned the deal .
Mr Farrow , a journalist , wrote a book for HBG last year about how powerful men avoid punishment for misconduct .
His adopted sister , Dylan Farrow , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1992 when she was seven years old .
He denies the claim , which was investigated at the time but led to no criminal charges .
What has the publisher said ?
A statement by HBG spokeswoman Sophie Cottrell called the decision to pulp Allen 's autobiography - Apropos of Nothing - `` a difficult one '' .
`` At HBG we take our relationships with authors very seriously , and do not cancel books lightly .
We have published and will continue to publish many challenging books , '' she added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been held with staff members , which led the publisher to come `` to the conclusion that moving forward with publication would not be feasible '' .
The publishing house also plans to return the rights to Allen , the statement added .

Allen lost a four-film deal with Amazon last November after an interview in which he defended disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein , who was convicted last month of two sexual assaults .
How did the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to have been acquired by HBG last year , but the announcement that it would be released in April only came this week .
Dylan Farrow released a scathing statement on Monday , accusing Hachette of betraying one of their authors , her brother Ronan Farrow , whose book about the Weinstein allegations , Catch and Kill , was published by HBG in October 2019 .

bbc--2020-03-06--Bill Clinton claims Monica Lewinsky affair was to 'help anxieties'

Former President Bill Clinton says his affair with Monica Lewinsky was a way of managing his anxieties .
He made the remarks as part of a documentary series titled `` Hillary '' which looks at the public life of 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton .
Mr Clinton was impeached in 1998 for lying to investigators about his relationship with Ms Lewinsky .
He was acquitted at his Senate trial .
Ms Lewinsky was a 22-year-old White House intern at the time of the affair .
Mr Clinton told documentary markers Hulu : `` What I did was bad but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's think about the most stupid thing I could possibly do and do it . ''
`` You feel like you 're staggering around - you 've been in a 15-round prize-fight that was extended to 30 rounds , and here 's something that 'll take your mind off it for a while .

She said she had `` limited understanding of the consequences '' at the time and regrets the affair daily .
In the documentary Mr Clinton says he feels `` terrible '' that Ms Lewinsky 's life was defined by their relationship .
`` Over the years I 've tried to watch her get a normal life back again but you 've got to decide how to define normal , '' he said .
When asked about the incident , Mrs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` I was so personally , just hurt and I ca n't believe this , I ca n't believe you lied .

bbc--2020-03-06--Brexit preparations cost UK more than $5bn

Government departments spent more than £4bn on preparations for leaving the EU , says the public spending watchdog .
The National Audit Office said this figure included spending on staff , external advice and advertising .
A Treasury spokesperson said the government had made `` all necessary funds available '' to ensure the country was prepared for leaving the EU .
But the Lib Dems claimed `` billions of pounds have been thrown away in a bid to paper over the Tories ' Brexit mess '' .
The NAO stressed in its report that it was not making a judgement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money .
It also emphasised that the figures represented a `` minimum estimated level of spend '' due to `` limitations '' in the data provided by departments .
• Watchdog questions 'Get ready for Brexit ' campaign The spending watchdog 's report found that the Home Office , HM Revenue and Customs and the environment department accounted for more than half of the £4.4bn spent on Brexit preparations .
Between 2016-17 and 2019-20 , the Treasury made available £6.3bn of additional funding to cover the costs of the UK leaving the EU @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this money , at least £1.9bn was spent on staffing .
The NAO said staffing levels peaked in October 2019 when 22,000 civil servants were working on Brexit planning .
Advertising , building new systems and other services cost at least £1.5bn - this included spending £283m to build the EU settlement scheme and £69m on Operation Brock , a traffic management system to be used in Kent in the event of a no-deal Brexit .
The £1.5bn also covered the £46m spent on the government 's `` Get ready for Brexit '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said it was `` not clear that the campaign led to the public being significantly better prepared '' .
Government departments have also reported £92m in losses relating to Brexit - this includes £50m paid to ferry companies and £33m to Eurotunnel .
The chairwoman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee , Meg Hillier , said : `` The public has been kept in the dark as to what the Government has been doing .
`` Data is limited , and the Treasury seem unconcerned by the lack of transparency . ''
Liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` In the face of major floods and the coronavirus threat , we have to ask if the government knows its own spending priorities . ''

bbc--2020-03-06--Bernie Sanders: How much would his spending plans cost?

Democratic presidential contender Bernie Sanders is under pressure to explain how he would pay for his policy agenda , as his Democratic rivals say his sums do n't add up .
Sanders has laid out a string of policies - including nationalised universal health care , cancelling student debt , and plans to tackle climate change .
This will cost an additional $ 40 trillion in government spending over the next decade , according to figures given on his website .
This would be the largest expansion of US government spending since World War Two , almost doubling the Congressional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next decade .
We 've taken a look at his spending plans and whether they add up , policy by policy .
Sanders ' plan would replace private health insurance in the US with a government-run health insurance system .
Under the current US system , government programmes like Medicare and Medicaid provide help with medical insurance to elderly , low-income , and disabled Americans .
Everyone else purchases private insurance or goes uninsured .
Sanders wants to expand Medicare to cover everyone , and says this would cost an additional $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be paid for mainly through higher taxes - the majority of which would target corporations and the very wealthy .
Sanders has also stated employees earning over $ 29,000 a year ( approx £22,000 ) will pay a 4 % higher tax rate .
But critics say his $ 17.5tn figure falls short of what 's needed , and estimates by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget research group suggest his plan would cost substantially more .
Sanders previously acknowledged the Medicare for All price tag was `` about $ 30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accused of moving the goalposts .
• Medicare for All : Can Bernie Sanders overhaul US healthcare ?
Former Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg has said : `` Senator Sanders , at one point , said ( Medicare for All ) was going to be $ 40tn , then it was $ 30tn , then it was $ 17tn .
That 's an incredible shrinking price tag . ''
But Mr Sanders also argues that the new system would cost the country less than the existing one due to efficiency savings , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his view .
`` What every study out there - conservative or progressive - says , Medicare for all will save money , '' says Sanders .
He believes the extra taxes would be offset by the savings Americans make on their health insurance payments .
Most - but not all - studies agree .
An analysis of 22 studies by the University of California found 19 of these predict savings under a Sanders-style plan .
This proposal aims to reach 100 % renewable energy for electricity and transport in the US by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders has priced the plan at $ 16.3tn over the next decade .
The centre-right policy institute American Action Forum said it could cost up to $ 93 trillion , and President Trump has gone as high as $ 100 trillion .
These figures are widely thought to be overestimates , and Democrats have argued the costs of not tackling climate change are also high .
• Green New Deal : Can this plan pushed by some Democrats really work ?
Sanders says the plan would be paid for largely by the part-nationalisation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from tax increases on the fossil fuel industry and other large corporations .
He proposes a saving on military spending by scaling back operations protecting the global oil supply .
Sanders says further funds would be raised through income tax generated by the 20 million new green jobs , as well as less unemployment benefit being paid out .
All this would add up to the $ 16.3tn price tag proposed by the Sanders campaign .
However , experts say the fundraising methods , particularly surrounding the 20 million new green jobs , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Green New Deal proposal is too vague to calculate the total cost accurately .
The latest statistics show almost 45 million Americans owe around $ 1.6tn in student loan debt .
Sanders says if elected president he would cancel this debt and provide at least $ 48bn per year to eliminate tuition fees .
He plans to spend around $ 2.2tn in total on his education plans over the next decade .
Sanders says he would raise around $ 2.4tn from a tax on Wall Street over the next decade to pay for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the US financial markets for buying and selling stocks , bonds and derivatives .
Progressive economist Robert Pollin projected that this tax would bring in more than $ 2.2tn over 10 years , but a study by the Tax Policy Center offers a more conservative estimate of around $ 750bn .
Others point to Sweden 's implementation of a similar system in the 1980s , which resulted in a drop-off in trading and investors until the tax was abolished .
Mr Sanders says he would build 10 million affordable housing units at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be funded by a tax targeting those with wealth above $ 32m .
Sanders says this would raise more than $ 4.3tn over a decade .
The scheme 's plausibility has been questioned , as critics say the super rich would move their assets abroad to avoid the tax .
They point to Europe where more than a dozen countries have tried to implement a wealth tax - but only three remain in place due to difficulties enforcing the policy .
This plan would guarantee free childcare to every family in America .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ over a decade , which would be paid for by the remaining revenue generated by his wealth tax .
As we 've explained , critics believe these revenue projections are overly optimistic .
As for social security in the US , this includes several welfare programmes including retirement benefits and disability income .
Sanders wants to increase these benefits at a cost of $ 275bn over a decade .
He proposes a tax on Americans earning more than $ 250,000 ( £192,000 ) annually to pay for this .
The Committee for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secure these benefits if passed - but may reduce the incentive to work , save and invest .

Sanders says he would raise around $2.4tn from a tax on Wall Street over the next decade to pay for these plans. This would raise levies on the US financial markets for buying and selling stocks, bonds and derivatives.

bbc--2020-03-06--Sophia Loren: 'Female directors don't yell'

Hollywood veteran Sophia Loren , who has picked her favourite female-focused movies and TV shows for Netflix in recognition of International Women 's Day , discusses her choices , the challenges facing female directors , and her love of pizza .
Long before Parasite triumphed at the Oscars last month , Sophia Loren became the first actress to win an Academy Award for a non-English speaking role .
The year was 1961 and the film was Two Women , a powerful World War Two drama .
By that stage , Loren was a veteran of almost 50 films , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Before I made Two Women , I was a performer , '' she once said .
`` Afterward , I was an actress . ''
Two Women was one of a dozen films she made with director Vittorio De Sica , who she credits with unlocking her acting talents .
`` He taught me to believe in myself and to understand that , no matter how many people wanted to control my destiny , I and only I was the captain of my own ship , '' says the star .
The admiration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ differently , behaved differently , affected me differently from any woman I have known '' , De Sica once said .
`` I looked at that face , those unbelievable eyes , and I saw it all as a miracle . ''
After Two Women , Loren starred opposite Hollywood stars like Cary Grant ( Houseboat , 1968 ) and Paul Newman ( Lady L , 1965 ) , and received a second Oscar nomination for 1964 's Marriage Italian Style .
In her home country , she has earned six David di @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record that stands today .
But her ascent to stardom was far from assured .
She was born into extreme poverty in Naples in 1934 ; raised by a single , unwed mother in a staunchly Catholic country at the height of fascism .
Nicknamed `` toothpick '' on account of her skinny legs , her life changed when she entered a beauty pageant at 15 .
Loren got to the final and ended up taking acting classes , leading to her first film role in 1950 .
She went on to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beauties alongside the likes of Marilyn Monroe , Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner - but in her best roles , she played downtrodden , salt-of-the-earth women .
That theme continues in her latest film , The Life Ahead , in which she plays a Holocaust survivor who forges a bond with a 12-year-old Senegalese immigrant .
Directed by her son , Edoardo Ponti , the film will be distributed by Netflix - with whom Loren has also teamed up to celebrate International Women 's Day ( 8 March ) , by picking her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women .
The 85-year-old 's choices are her 1954 film The Gold of Naples and TV drama The Crown .
Other stars who have taken part in Netflix 's Because She Watched initiative include Ava DuVernay , Salma Hayek , Janet Mock , Laverne Cox , Cecilia Suárez and Millie Bobby Brown - whose selections include titles like Marriage Story , Paris Is Burning , Miss Americana and Roma .
What is it about The Crown - and Queen Elizabeth II in particular - that fascinates you ?
First of all the series @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I was born and raised in poverty , so ever since I was a little girl growing up in Pozzuoli , I loved gowns and castles and the series is filled with both of them !
What I love about the Queen is her resilience in the face of adversity , her aplomb , her `` taking it on the chin-ness '' .
Her courage to get on with it .
I admire those qualities in people and I admire it in the Queen .
Your other choice , The Gold of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ films .
What are your memories of working with Vittorio De Sica ?
If there is one thing that I will never forget , it is the look in his eyes from behind the camera - that look of trust that gave me so much confidence , that look pulled me out of my own insecurities and made me perform at a level much higher than I ever thought I could .
That 's what great directors do - they believe in you when you might not completely believe in yourself and they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ character worked in a pizza kiosk .
Did you keep the pizza-making skills you learned on set ?
We Neapolitans invented pizza .
I did n't have to learn these skills , it 's in my DNA and what 's in your DNA you never forget !
During your career , you 've only worked with one female director , Lina Wertmuller .
How does a film set change with a woman in charge ?
Lina is like my big sister .
We love each other , we fight , we make up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and respect for one another .
She is a trailblazer .
Having a woman 's eye behind the camera is a special thing .
Women are great with detail , they enjoy the minutiae of moments .
They do n't yell , they do n't command .
They suggest , they inspire .
I love working with female directors .
I want to work with more .
How can that be achieved when only 10 % of the directors on Hollywood 's top films are women ?
The industry has definitely changed for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but there is still much more to do .
The dream would be for people to be judged only on their skill and talent and not their gender - but for that to happen you have to level the playing field and create an environment where women get the time and the ability to practise their craft .
That is why it is crucial to promote women and give them the opportunities in directing , writing and shooting films , all fields where men are and remain the predominant choice .
But once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ field has been levelled , then may the best person win !
You 've just finished your first feature film in a decade , The Life Ahead .
What attracted you to the story ?
The film is based on the great novel by Romain Gary .
It is the story of Madame Rosa , a Holocaust survivor and retired prostitute .
Now , in the twilight of her years , she makes ends meet by having in her home a makeshift daycare for kids of other immigrant prostitutes .
The film could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of tolerance , integration and the definition of the modern family .
I am very proud of it and so excited that I got to work with such an amazingly eclectic cast , not least my co-starring partner in the film Ibrahim Gueye , a 12-year-old Senegalese boy who 's never acted in his life and who gave an unbelievable performance as Momo .
It 's the third time you 've been directed by your son Edoardo .
How does that differ from working with other directors ?
I love working with Edoardo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with De Sica : His eyes behind the camera , they give me strength and security and he wo n't give up until I give him my very best .
He does n't settle for anything less than that because he knows what I am capable of .
It is a true gift working with a person who knows you as well as you know yourself .
There is a shorthand , a telepathy .
Sometimes he just has to hold me and I feel what he wants , other times he knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something out of me that I did n't know I had .

bbc--2020-03-06--Nintendo PlayStation: Ultra-rare prototype sells for £230,000

The only `` Nintendo PlayStation '' ever publicly auctioned has sold for $ 300,000 ( £230,700 ) .
The ultra-rare prototype was the offspring of a short-lived collaboration between Nintendo and Sony , and was supposed to add CD-ROM support to the Super Nintendo .
Sony went on to create its own wildly successful PlayStation brand .
Heritage Auctions said it might be the last remaining Nintendo prototype , as the others were probably destroyed .
The online bidder will end up paying $ 360,000 ( £276,900 ) once the auction house 's `` buyer 's premium '' is added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prototype gaining near-mythical status in gaming history .
`` People had kind of heard about this story - Nintendo and Sony partnering up to make the next , or the sequel to , the Super Nintendo , '' said Conor Clarke of the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield .
`` But nobody really had confirmation that it existed .
So it was mythical . ''
That status , he said , may explain why it is now the most expensive gaming object ever .
Made in 1992 , the Super NES CD-ROM was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ System ( Snes ) - but with a disc drive in the base .
It was rumoured to play both Snes cartridges and CD-based games , although no official games were ever released using the CD drive .
However , the console does work .
The auctioneers tested it with a Snes Mortal Kombat cartridge and `` played a couple of rounds '' .
In addition , the disc drive plays audio CDs .
Most gamers had never seen the console until it was fished out of Terry Diebold 's attic by his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an auction when his employer , Advanta , went under .
He once said in an interview he had been buying some of the company 's dinner plates and cutlery - but the lot contained other boxes , including the ultra-rare game console .
He paid $ 75 for everything .
It is thought that it came from the office of Olaf Olaffson , once a top executive at Sony Computer Entertainment , who had worked at Advanta .
The revelation that someone had found evidence of the myth was met with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's until it was repaired , made functional , and started appearing at gaming conventions around the globe .
`` Finding that object opened up this whole history , this whole story around the Nintendo and Sony partnership - that before then , had been relatively secret . ''
The story of the Nintendo PlayStation comes from a time when Nintendo was riding high from its success with the Super Nintendo , and there were still a few years until its next major console release .
Several console makers were convinced CDs were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replace the large plastic cartridges of the 1980s .
Sega had the 32x and Sega CD systems , while Atari released a CD add-on for the Jaguar .
Nintendo 's collaboration with Sony ended poorly .
A day after Sony announced the deal to the world in 1991 , Nintendo announced a new partnership with Philips instead .
That decision changed the entire landscape of the gaming industry in the 1990s .
The Philips console , known as the CD-I , was a critical and commercial failure , with the four Nintendo games @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the company 's catalogue .
However , Sony went on to release a totally redesigned Sony PlayStation on its own .
It became a worldwide sensation , selling more than 100 million consoles - more than double Nintendo 's own mid-90s offering , the N64 .
`` I do n't think anything really kind of took off until the PlayStation came in and really made gaming cool , '' said Conor Clarke .
As for the Nintendo prototype , Mr Clarke said it would be `` fantastic '' to have it in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not his own .
And the story behind it is more important than the machine itself .
`` The provenance of a video gaming object is really what 's at risk of being lost , '' he said .
`` The human stories behind it , or how it came to be . ''

As for the Nintendo prototype, Mr Clarke said it would be "fantastic" to have it in a museum - even if it's not his own. And the story behind it is more important than the machine itself.


bbc--2020-03-06--AEW wrestling: Singing for my brother's hero 17 years after he died

How do you stay close to a loved one after they pass away ?
Some people will try and bring them up in conversation , others may even maintain the relationship by sending text messages to their number .
For Liz Rose , the answer was to keep up a hobby she shared with her brother - watching professional wrestling .
Little did she know 17 years later that she would be performing the entrance music for her brother 's favourite wrestler live as he walked to the ring .
`` My brother loved wrestling and he loved Chris Jericho @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted to be a wrestler , he was planning on going to wrestling school after high school .
Then he was in a car accident .
`` Moving forward with my life as a kid , wrestling was something I could look back on and have good memories .
Going into adulthood , if I saw a match on TV I would watch it , it helped me feel connected to him . ''
For years , simply watching wrestling on television was enough for the 29-year-old to maintain a connection with her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made everything change when Liz had the opportunity to become part of the choir that performed Chris Jericho 's entrance theme at the All Elite Wrestling ( AEW ) : Revolution pay-per-view on 29 February 2020 .
Chris Jericho was the first AEW world champion .
During his time with WWE , he became a six-time world champion and was the first `` undisputed '' champion .
He is also an accomplished musician with his band Fozzy .
The video to Judas , which he uses as his entrance music , has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube .
While it is uncommon for wrestlers to enter the ring to anything other than their pre-recorded theme , for a wrestler as popular as Jericho , exceptions can be made .
Fans have called the performance `` the best entrance of the year '' and `` goosebump-inducing '' , while Chris Jericho himself said it was `` the best ring entrance I 've ever had in almost 30 years in the business '' .
For Liz , her brother 's fandom of Chris Jericho made it all the more significant .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ she said .
`` I 've been getting so many messages and comments from AEW fans , describing this as an important moment in wrestling , how this entrance had an impact on them .
`` Over the course of my life I felt like I processed the grief in certain ways .
It 's strange how after all this time , something like this happening can bring me back to how I felt as a kid .
`` For me to think of my brother knowing I was a part of that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his hero ...
I felt close to him in a way I had not felt since he was alive . ''
The opportunity would not have afforded itself were it not for a bit of luck and a viral video .
Meredith Bell , who knew Liz from local theatre in Philadelphia , became the architect of her future when her a cappella cover of Jericho 's entrance music became a Twitter hit in January 2020 .
She told the BBC that Jericho contacted her directly and asked if she could rally up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at AEW : Revolution .
• Former boxer Anthony Ogogo signs for All Elite Wrestling Meredith contacted Liz , who leapt at the opportunity - and when she found out about the significance this performance would have for Liz , she did something to make the moment even more special .
`` Meredith had a necklace made for me before we left for the trip , '' Liz said , `` with a picture of Greg in it .
`` She made a point to acknowledge how special this was for me .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ very supportive and kind .
It was extremely emotional . ''
After the performance , Meredith took to social media to share the story of Greg and Liz with the world .
And once again her post caught the eye of Chris Jericho , who called it an `` amazing story '' .
And this brought everything `` full circle '' , Liz says .
`` When he responded to the video , '' she said , `` it was shocking and overwhelming .
I said a little prayer to my brother , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you .
`` I never would have been into wrestling if not for him .
It was an experience I got to enjoy through my love for him and his love for wrestling .
It was an amazing moment . ''

Williams is the highest-drafted defensive player in Jets history
New York Jets player Quinnen Williams was arrested at a New York airport on Thursday in possession of a handgun.
Williams, 22, will be formally charged with criminal possession of a weapon in a court appearance on 25 March.
Flying with a gun is not illegal, but the firearm must be unloaded, locked in a hard container and stored in checked baggage, not carry-on luggage.
The Jets said they have contacted Williams and are "fully aware of the situation".

It has not been revealed where the gun was when Williams was arrested at LaGuardia Airport, but airline passengers must declare if they have a firearm when they check their bag.
"We will have no additional comment as this is a pending legal matter," a Jets statement added.
