On this day - 2 April

Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands on April 2nd 1982, starting the 10 week long undeclared Falklands War. Argentina felt that the islands should be part of their territory and that they were simply reclaiming formerly lost land. The war ended with a British victory following the Argentine surrender. There were losses on all sides of the war, with recorded casualties in the British military, Argentine military and island population.

The Daily Express reported heavily on this, with several pages of images and editorial text throughout the paper. They covered a variety of aspects of the invasion including economic impact, political implications and the movement of military forces.

John Gotti was the boss of the Gambino crime family in New York. He had the nickname ""the Teflon Don"" following acquittal in three high profile trials in the 1980s for his crimes. It later came to light that there were issues with these trials including intimidation of witnesses and tampering with the jury.

On April 4th 1992 Gotti was convicted for five murders following a lengthy FBI investigation. He was also convicted of tax evasion, illegal gambling, obstruction of justice, loansharking and conspiracy to commit murder. He was sentenced to life in prison.
