What happened
The Metropolitan Police said they were seeking charges against up to 57 individuals and 20 organisations over the Grenfell Tower fire. Potential offences include corporate and gross negligence manslaughter, fraud, health and safety offences, and misconduct in public office.

Who said what
A team of 220 detectives has gathered “strong evidence”, said lead investigator Garry Moncrieff. It has submitted 15 evidence files to the Crown Prosecution Service advising on charges, and must submit the remainder by 30 September.

But the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, which concluded last year that all 72 deaths were avoidable, had “slowed down the pace of their criminal investigation”, said the BBC.

The update “marks an important step in a process that has already taken far too long”, said a spokesperson for Grenfell United, which represents some of the bereaved families. “No family should have to wait over 10 years for justice for their loved ones, if it comes at all.”

What next?
Police will confirm charges by 14 June next year, the 10th anniversary of the disaster. Any trials are unlikely to take place before 2029.

What happened
A Jackson Pollock painting has sold at auction for $181 million (£135 million), smashing the previous record for the American abstract expressionist artist. It was the standout lot in back-to-back evening sales at Christie’s in New York that netted more than a billion dollars.

Who said what
It is with Number 7A, 1948 “that Pollock finally frees himself from the shackles of conventional easel painting and produces one of the first truly abstract paintings in the history of art”, Christie’s wrote in its description of the three-metre-long canvas.

The success of Monday’s sale “was the latest sign that the top of the art market is springing back to life after several years of contraction”, said The New York Times.

“The sale was all killer with not much filler,” said Stephanie Armstrong, managing partner of the art advisory Beaumont Nathan. “It was geared towards a certain calibre of collector, and the reality is there are relatively few at that level in today’s market.”

What next?
New York City’s spring Marquee Week – when major auction houses list their most valuable lots – is expected to rake in up to $2.6 billion (£1.9 billion) before it ends on Thursday.

A vicious war of words has broken out in Windsor over a cafe giving a “Lycra discount” to cyclists. The 10% concession on food and drink has led, say some angry residents, to the royal Berkshire town being swarmed by middle-aged men on bikes.

Cinnamon Cafe’s cyclist-friendly discount has made it “something of a place of pilgrimage for two-wheeled travellers”, according to Metro. The “Lycra discount” has been such a success, said The Telegraph, that the Berkshire town has become “the centre of a wildly popular endurance test” called the “Bun Run”: a 62-mile ride from London to Windsor and back, stopping off at the cafe midway for a restorative cinnamon bun.

But the town’s new-found status as a cyclists’ Mecca has “divided opinion” among locals. Some say the roads around Windsor have “become overrun with pelotons of middle-aged men in Lycra – known as Mamils – at weekends”. “When there’s a whole bunch of them, you can’t get past in the car,” said 84-year-old resident Hugh Nixon. “It’s like trying to pass a caravan.”

The cafe’s owner, Ian Jones, is baffled by the backlash. “We’ve been offering the discount for 15 years,” he told Cycling Weekly. “Fifteen years and it’s still controversial.”

The story is the “latest chapter in the bizarre culture war between cyclists and drivers”, said Cycling Weekly. And the online fans of two-wheeled travel haven’t held back. “Ditch the car, get on your bike and enjoy life a bit more” wrote one unimpressed commenter under Metro’s write-up.
