People are already raving over Slow Horses, Apple TV+'s third season has been released to rave reviews. It's been aided by an outstanding performance from a Hollywood A-lister, a British rising star, and an author named the successor to John Le Carre. One more thing - Mick Jagger is a huge fan of the books - all it needed was a Zoom meeting in Covid where he wrote and performed the theme tune. However, although critics have lauded Slow Horses' source material, the book itself comes close to being a flop.

In the late 1960s, the writer and his wife bought Tregiffian Cottage in St Buryan, near Penzance, near Penzance. For the first time in 60 years, it has gone on sale. John Le Carre, a French writer who died in December 2020, was best known for his spy books, many of which were written at Tregiffian and then adapted for film and TV.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Sherborne, one of the few remaining all-male public schools, prides itself on offering a 'rich and varied range of experiences' for students. Chris Martin, Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons, writer John Le Carre, and Hugh Bonneville of Downton Abbey have all been pupils.

No fewer than 14 officers from the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism squad slip through the front door of Schomberg House, a nondescript red brick block of flats on a quiet side street in central Westminster, before dawn on October 13, 2020. They crept up the stairs in silence, dressed in bulletproof vests and clutching a variety of weapons before arriving outside Flat 20, a two-bedroom rental house that is reportedly occupied by two thirtysomething professionals. A battered ram screams outside the door at 5.50 a.m., and all hell breaks loose. 'I recall being awakened by a violent accident,' one of the occupants said later.

LEONARD: "I used to speak to Brittney Griner a few years ago." She's safe, she's on her way home, and she's on a plane.' Mr Biden delivered a triumphant White House address today, in which Ms Griner's wife Cherelle joined him. However, the offer comes at a high price. Mr Biden said nothing about America's bargain, and in fact, left the room as a journalist repeatedly demanded to tell him what Russia had obtained out of the deal. The tense Tajikistan businessman and suspected Soviet spy dubbed the'merchant of death' sparked untold confusion and despair around the globe, particularly in Afghanistan and Africa, where his arms were allegedly used to murder American and British troops. He was serving a 25-year sentence for plotting to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons, which were supposed to be used against Americans, according to US officials. The mere thought of his freedom had enraged anti-arms trafficking activists and those interested in his capture, who had hoped he would return to the violent industry. Michael Braun, the ex-DEA chief who planned Bout's capture, has said that releasing him would not be a'slap in the face' to those who risked their lives to bring him down. Everyone in the spook world knows there is no such thing as a "former" Russian intelligence officer, despite the fact that the Kremlin put forth the necessary efforts to free Bout, it's unlikely that Putin, who is facing an arms supply crisis in Ukraine, would not have troubling proposals for him right now.
