A wild true-crime tale. Plus Jamie Oliver’s ultimate barbecue and a gruelling trek with Bear Grylls and Matthew McConaughey. Here’s what to watch this evening 9.45pm, BBC Two This heart-racing, three-part documentary tells the wild story of a casino bomb and the man behind it. In 1980, a ticking timebomb using 1,000lb of dynamite was wheeled through Harvey’s Wagon Wheel Casino in Lake Tahoe, with a note demanding $3m (£2.2m) attached to it. It was so sophisticated that, as one bomb squad member who was there remembers in the first episode, “all the usual techniques were thrown out of the window”. Hollie Richardson Continue reading...

ismagilov/iStock via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from the The London Company Small-Mid Cap Portfolio Q1 2026 Commentary. The London Company Small-Mid Cap portfolio declined 3.4% (-3.6% net) during the quarter vs. a 2.0% increase in the Russell 2500 Index. Both sector exposure and stock selection were headwinds to relative performance. The SMID portfolio trailed its benchmark in Q1 and came up short of our 85-90% upside capture expectations. Early signs of broadening gave way to a narrower, macro-driven market where our structural underweight to Energy and commodity-linked industries was a significant detractor—similar to early 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Lower-quality, more speculative areas also proved surprisingly defensive. While frustrating, we've navigated analogous periods before. These rotations have historically been short-lived and we don't believe recent price action reflects a fundamental change in the long-term case for our holdings. Should geopolitical and supply-shock volatility persist, we expect investors to refocus on quality. The durable competitive advantages and financial flexibility of our businesses position the SMID portfolio well across a range of environments. Top 3 Contributors to Relative Performance Entegris, Inc. ( ENTG ) – ENTG was a top contributor, benefiting from improving fab utilization and accelerating AI-driven semiconductor demand. The company continues to gain share as advanced node transitions increase materials intensity per wafer. Looking ahead, fundamentals are improving with higher wafer starts, near-full utilization, and multiple growth drivers across advanced logic and memory. With its investment cycle largely complete and free cash flow expected to improve, we remain attracted to its strong competitive positioning and high barriers to entry. Murphy USA, Inc. ( MUSA ) – MUSA outperformed in Q1 alongside the spike in fuel prices. Higher prices support top-line growth and cash flow. The company s...
