The government has announced that the owner of Chelsea FC will also be prohibited from transactions with UK individuals and businesses.
The government could still grant him a licence to sell the club, but will need to be assured that he will not benefit financially and any proceeds would remain frozen.

The Russian tycoon would not be allowed to take any of the money from any prospective deal - with the club understood to be up for sale for around £3billion - and it would instead be determined by Downing Street.

Mike Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House, loosely based on Shirley Jackson's novel of the same name, weaves its horror into a deeply affecting story about a broken family. Fractured after growing up in a haunted house, the Crains can't ignore their past and must do what you never want to do: Go back down those dark corridors. The impressive set-pieces will please horror fans, but it's the sad story of the Crains that will, yes, haunt you for days. Good news: The second chapter of the anthology, The Haunting of Bly Manor, is out for Halloween.

Stick with Julie and the Phantoms' silly premise before making any judgements. Julie is a teenager who accidentally summons a boy band from the '90s -- The Phantoms. While Julie helps the band achieve their potential, they help her enjoy music and life again after the death of her mother. As music tends to do, the catchy tunes will send you soaring through the joyous, ridiculously entertaining and, of course, romance-filled first season. Ghost jokes are included.

Three UK's decision to suspend its sponsorship deal with Chelsea sets up a possible wave of corporate boycotts that could see the club deprived of tens of millions of pounds worth of revenue and facing financial meltdown.  

The sanctions - which are part of a broader government package imposed against six other oligarchs - are expected to apply as long as Abramovich owns the club before being lifted in the event of him selling it.

This miniseries is from a couple of years ago, but in case you missed it, it's definitely worth checking out. In the vein of The Sinner, Alias Grace steps back into its young female protagonist's past to figure out why she commits murder, of which she has no memory. An adaptation of a Margaret Atwood novel, the show stars a hypnotic Sarah Gadon as Irish immigrant Grace, navigating a turbulent life as a servant for a family in colonial Toronto. Partly based on a true story, this isn't a straightforward mystery with straightforward answers and that's what makes it all the more captivating.

For Apple, the iPhone SE is a cheaper way to draw new shoppers into services such as iMessage, Apple TV, Apple Arcade and the full App Store. Samsung, meanwhile, is trying to provide premium features for less money.

That's the whole appeal behind the iPhone SE. It's not about providing cutting edge tech like a depth scanner, multilens camera or vibrant OLED screen. It's for people who just want an iPhone for basic everyday tasks at the lowest price possible.

That difference in approach was on full display over the past two weeks. Both companies held virtual keynotes to announce new phones that are priced hundreds of dollars below the headline-grabbing iPhone 13 and Galaxy S22. Apple was first with an event on March 8 to announce the $429 iPhone SE. Apple's lower-priced phone looks like 2017's iPhone 8, but comes equipped with 5G and the same processor as the iPhone 13. Samsung followed on March 17 by introducing the Galaxy A53 5G, a $450 phone that comes with some of the same features as its pricier counterparts, including a nearly borderless screen and multilens camera.
