The British Academy Film Awards and BBC have apologized Monday for a racial slur that was broadcast during Sunday’s show while two stars of the film “Sinners” were onstage. The Tourette syndrome campaigner who shouted the slur said he was “deeply mortified” and what he said was “not a reflection of my personal beliefs.” The highly offensive word could be heard as “Sinners” stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, who are both Black, were presenting the award for best visual effects during Sunday’s ceremony. The BBC left the slur in a delayed broadcast of the ceremony but removed a streaming version and said the slur would be edited out.

Fancy a pizza with a view? The Vatican is marking the 400th anniversary of the consecration of St. Peter’s Basilica with a host of visitor-friendly initiatives, including expanding access to its spectacular terrace and its snack bar in the shadow of Michelangelo’s great dome. The Vatican on Monday outlined its plans to make better use of St. Peter’s and to redistribute the millions of people who pass through it each year. Among the initiatives are a new online reservation system to cut waiting times and simultaneous translations for Masses in up to 60 languages. In addition, a new permanent exhibition tracing the history of the basilica is opening on the terrace, alongside an expanded snack bar for hungry pilgrims.
