Help please... 25a One gets fired for being a criminal (8) -R-O---T. Is it errorist or arsonist??

Is 19d Two-piece practised here with explosive results (6) Bikini ? and why

Bikini was the group of islands in the Pacific where nuclear weapons were tested.

From Wiki: The modern bikini was invented by French engineer Louis Réard in 1946. He named it after Bikini Atoll in the Pacific, the site of the Operation Crossroads nuclear weapon tests in July that year.

I put ARSONIST for the other one.

Thank you Nemo and Janie

So why is it arsonist ? Can't work this one out !

An arsonist sets fires illegally and this is criminal.

Thanks Joker, feel silly now. Couldn't see what arsonist had to do with being fired. ! How dumb is that. Busy weekend---well that's my excuse anyway ! Must get my hairdresser to put in fewer blonde steaks.

Glad to be of help Diana.
Crosswords get us all in the same way from time to time.

re 19d
Two-piece practised here with explosive results.

I agree with everything so far but where does "practised" fit in?
