Manchester, England – Manchester City signed Nico Gonzalez from Porto in the biggest move from Premier League clubs during Monday’s transfer deadline day, while Bayern Munich’s Mathys Tel headed to Tottenham on loan. City’s midfield frailties without Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who is out for the season due to a serious knee injury, were exposed in a 5-1 thrashing at Arsenal on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s men find themselves in a battle just to qualify for next season’s Champions League, with the defending champions sitting fifth in the Premier League, 15 points behind leader Liverpool.

NEW ORLEANS – NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rates New Orleans as the perfect Super Bowl host but envisions taking the league’s marquee event beyond U.S. borders. “I do think there’s a potential that someday we’ll have an international franchise,” Goodell said Monday afternoon in the Saints’ locker room at Caesars Superdome, set up for use by temporary tenants, the Philadelphia Eagles. “We do like to have — being here in New Orleans, this is a great thing for the New Orleans Saints. Have the world’s attention. I think the same would be true of an international franchise.” Prior to last year’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Goodell publicly embraced moving to a shorter preseason — currently three games per team — and expanding the regular season from 17 to 18 games to meet overwhelming interest from fans. Goodell said the NFL and NFLPA haven’t had formal negotiating sessions around expanding the regular season, which must be collectively bargained with players. Source link

Ottawa – Boos rang out during the U.S. national anthem at an NBA game in Canada on Sunday amid anger over U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to slap tariffs on imports from the country. A rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung before the Toronto Raptors’ home game against the Los Angeles Clippers drew loud boos from Canadian fans at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The incident mirrored the response to the U.S. anthem at an NHL game on Saturday between the Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators. Ottawa’s home crowd booed loudly during the U.S. anthem, before switching to rapturous applause for Canada’s national anthem “O Canada.” The incidents appear to be linked to Trump’s decision on Saturday to impose broad tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, citing a “major threat” from illegal immigration and drugs. Canada said Sunday it would file a World Trade Organization claim against the tariffs and seek redress under a regional free trade deal. Trump has also called for Canada to become a U.S. state, and repeated those calls on Sunday, claiming the United States pays “hundreds of billions of dollars” to subsidize its northern neighbor. “Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable country,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st state.” Source link

A 30-year-old woman pleaded guilty Monday to charges of helping to move cash stolen in a fatal burglary in Yokohama last October in which a 75-year-old man was killed. “I don’t know where the money came from,” Miho Kimoto told the first trial hearing at the Yokohama District Court, although she admitted to moving it. Monday’s court session was the first trial over a burglary case in which suspects broke into the home of Hiroharu Goto, 75, in Yokohama’s Aoba Ward, killing him and stealing about ¥200,000 in cash.

Long before Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones and Rihanna, there was Freddie Colston. Colston was just a 20-year-old student from tiny Fairbanks, Louisiana, when he traveled to Los Angeles in January 1967. He had grown up in a home without indoor plumbing, but now he was staying in lavish accommodations with about 180 other members of the Grambling College marching band. Soon, they would high-step onto the field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to perform in the halftime show of the very first Super Bowl. Source link

KKR & Co. and Gaw Capital Partners are in talks to sell the Hyatt Regency hotel in Tokyo to Japan Hotel REIT Investment for more than ¥100 billion ($640 million), according to people familiar with the matter. The two investment firms bought the hotel in the Shinjuku area for an estimated ¥60 billion less than two years ago, and a quick sale reflects the heated interest in Japan’s hotels amid a tourism boom coupled with a weak yen and low borrowing costs. CBRE Group and SMBC Trust Bank have been retained to advise on the sale, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. The parties are seeking to finalize the deal early this year. Still, discussions are ongoing and they may decide against proceeding with a transaction, the people added. Representatives for KKR, Gaw and Japan Hotel REIT declined to comment. SMBC Trust and CBRE didn’t respond to requests for comment. New York-based KKR and Hong Kong-based Gaw purchased the Hyatt Regency from Odakyu Electric Railway in early 2023. The 712-room hotel is undergoing a full renovation in phases. Japan Hotel REIT owns 51 hotels, according to its website. Hotels in Japan have been among the most popular real estate assets during a tourism boom that’s been driven by the yen’s depreciation. A record 37 million people traveled to the country in 2024. Hotels are typically viewed as inflation-proof real estate investments, because room rates can be easily adjusted versus rent contracts on other property that might be locked in for years. Average daily rates for Japan hotels in 2024 were more than 40% higher than in 2019, according to real estate data provider CoStar. Japan saw around ¥1.2 trillion in hotel transactions in 2024, a 51% jump from a year earlier, according to MSCI Real Assets. Source link

COPENHAGEN – In 2023, Mads Petersen, owner of Greenland-based startup Arctic Unmanned, sat in a car to keep warm while he tested a small drone at minus 43 degrees Celsius. The cold soon drained the drone’s power. “The battery only lasted for three minutes,” he said. Source link
