Family, friends and fellow queens create a warm portrait of a funny, sharp joy giver – and are impressively honest about their personal struggles

The Vivienne was well on her way to becoming the 21st century’s answer to Lily Savage or Dame Edna Everage. Comically gifted and with a very modern mastery of makeup – there was nothing remotely slapdash about Viv’s transformative glam – she won the first UK edition of RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2019, before parlaying her victory into appearances on Dancing on Ice, Celebrity Hunted and Emmerdale. By 2024, she was living the dream, wowing as the Wicked Witch of the West in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Wizard of Oz.

But James Lee Williams never got the chance to turn his status as a fledgling household name into proper cultural ubiquity: in January of this year, he died from cardio-respiratory arrest, a result of ketamine consumption. He was 32.

• Olympic champion Tebogo finishes second in Zurich

• Burgin and Hunter Bell impress for Britain in 800m

Noah Lyles laid down a hefty marker for next month’s World Athletics Championships by winning a thrilling 200m rematch against Letsile Tebogo of Botswana in the Diamond League final in Zurich.

Tebogo sprung a major surprise at last year’s Olympics by beating Lyles, who it later turned out had Covid. And it looked like a repeat was on the cards as Tebogo led from the gun.

British No 1 faces big-serving Elena Rybakina in US Open third round while Cameron Norrie takes on Novak Djokovic

At the start of a new season in January 2022, Emma Raducanu began her second full year on the WTA tour swimming in doubt. Not only was she trying to take steps forward after a life-changing summer, her off-season had been ravaged by contracting Covid-19, which forced her off the court for weeks in December. In her first match of the season, she found herself up against Elena Rybakina in Sydney. She left the court with just one game to her name, losing 6-0, 6-1.

That first encounter between Raducanu and Rybakina was a good representation of the difficulties Raducanu has had to navigate over the past few years: the pressure from her sudden rise, her underpowered game against the best players in the world and the fact that there was always another physical issue around the corner.

Venice film festival
The affable star plays an affable star assessing his life and career at a Tuscan film festival in a wildly sentimental and self-indulgent piece of cine-narcissism

Everybody loves George Clooney, and rightly so. His performances in films such as Michael Clayton, Out of Sight and Ocean’s Eleven have been a joy, and as an elegant public figure he has more or less single-handedly underwritten the continuing currency of Hollywood classiness. But in this dire, sentimental and self-indulgent film, he has the look of a man who has found strychnine in his Nespresso pod and can’t remember which of the cupboards in his luxury hotel suite contains the antidote.

It is directed by Noah Baumbach, whose 2022 film White Noise, based on the Don DeLillo novel, was a superb competition entry at Venice. (Baumbach was reportedly disconcerted by a tepid response; I thought it was brilliant.) But this one is a grisly, sucrose, sub-Fellini swoon on the subject of a super-handsome Hollywood actor attending a Italian arts festival to accept a lifetime achievement award, and naturally experiencing endless bittersweet flashbacks to his youth, in which the middle aged Jay Kelly looks on, with that knowing Clooney smile.

MP asks why all recommendations have not yet been implemented and why the review itself was kept secret for almost two years

The government is facing calls to explain why it has yet to implement all the recommendations from a 2023 review into a spate of serious public sector data breaches, including the exposure of Afghans who worked with British military, victims of child sexual abuse and 6,000 disability claimants.

On Thursday ministers finally published the information security review which was triggered by the 2023 leak of personal data of about 10,000 serving officers in the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

A lack of controls over ad hoc downloads and exports of aggregations of sensitive data.
