ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli leadersCARSON, Calif. — Ten years had passed since the LA Galaxy last basked in MLS Cup glory, the final spasm of a dynasty that brought stars onto the field and into the stands. Dignity Health Sports Park roared again Saturday, just as it had done for David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan during the 2011-14 dynasty. A decade later, Angelenos saluted Ghanaian speedster Joseph Paintsil, Serbian marksman Dejan Joveljic and sidelined Spanish playmaker Riqui Puig, who had helped make this record sixth title possible. With a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls, the Galaxy reclaimed its place atop the league and cast aside years of disarray and disappointment. “This is kind of the stamp that we’re back,” coach Greg Vanney said. “We’ve proven (this year) we’re back as an organization, and now it (was) to prove that we’re back as champions, and we’re on top again.” Paintsil and Joveljic scored four minutes apart early in the captivating match, which tightened before halftime on Sean Nealis’ goal and embarked on a wild ride after intermission before a sellout crowd of 26,812. The trophy is “finally back where it belongs,” Joveljic said. A year ago, the Galaxy won eight of 34 games and finished 26th on the 29-team circuit. The outcome extended decades of frustration for the Red Bulls, who have never hoisted the silver trophy. The MLS originals were born MetroStars, housed for 14 years in an NFL stadium, lost in the congestion of New York sports, helpless and heartbroken for decades as MLS grew around them and a new local rival (New York City FC) beat them to a first title. But the Red Bulls were a playoff revelation this year, storming from the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and winning three consecutive away games to advance to their first final since 2008. Seeded No. 2 in the Western Conference, the Galaxy tore the local spotlight from downtown-based Los Angeles FC, which won the title in 2022 and finished second last year. The suburban club claimed the championship without its luminescent midfielder, Puig, who tore an ACL (and kept playing) in the conference final against the Seattle Sounders. (A day later, the diagnosis ended his season.) With the Spaniard at the controls, the Galaxy scored 16 goals in its first four playoff games. Puig was not in uniform Saturday, but his No. 10 featured prominently. In pregame festivities, Donovan carried the trophy onto the field wearing a Galaxy No. 10 jersey – not his own from his standout Los Angeles career but Puig’s. “We did it for him,” said goalkeeper John McCarthy, who won the championship with LAFC two years ago. Los Angeles roared to two quick goals. It began in the ninth minute when Puig’s replacement, game MVP Gastón Brugman, threaded a lovely through ball between defenders to the fleet-footed Paintsil in stride. Goalkeeper Carlos Coronel slowed the shot but not enough to prevent the ball from trickling over the line. As his teammates celebrated around him, Paintsil was more concerned with locating a Puig jersey to hold up in honor of the injured star. Furiously pulling on his own shirt and yelling at the bench, Paintsil finally found what he was looking for. Four minutes later, Joveljic collected a pass some 40 yards from the target. Embarking on a central run, the 25-year-old encountered no challenges as he entered the penalty area. While falling to his left, Joveljic shot across his body and scored into the low right corner. After a pair of celebratory somersaults, he pointed to Puig in the stands and bowed. “He’s the engine of our team,” Joveljic said. “So this win is for our fans, for our families, but also for him.” The Red Bulls withstood severe pressure, gained traction in possession, then struck on a 28th-minute set piece. After the Galaxy failed to clear a corner kick, Nealis chested the ball down to himself and ripped a 12-yard volley into the right side of the net. Some 2,000 red-clad supporters in the upper reaches of the east stands went nuts. Though the second half was tighter, chances flowed. Excellent individual defending at both ends foiled opportunities at the final moment, and Galaxy right back Miki Yamane hit the near post in the 65th minute. Back and forth it went, picking up speed and drama. In the 72nd minute, after Coronel made a reflex save on Gabriel Pec, the Red Bulls unleashed a swift counterattack. It ended with captain Emil Forsberg nicking the right post. “I should score,” Forsberg said. During an injury break late in the match, Puig appeared on the video boards. The crowd roared, then began chanting his name. The Red Bulls threw additional players forward. Galaxy fans whipped white towels above their heads. Six minutes were added on. A mad scramble in the box yielded three swipes by the Red Bulls but no reward. A whistle signaling offside, not the end of the game, triggered a premature celebration. Seconds later, after the field was cleared of extra players, staff and photographers, the Galaxy danced for real. “When you come to the LA Galaxy as a player, you come with the burden but also the North Star,” said Vanney, a former Galaxy player who guided Toronto FC to the 2017 title. “You are trying to get into that history books and you’re trying to build on the legacy that is of the Galaxy.”
A researcher performs a rapid antigen test on milk from a dairy cow inoculated against bird flu in a containment building at the National Animal Disease Center research facility in Ames, Iowa, in July. USDA/AP The United States Department of Agriculture will begin mandatory testing of US milk supplies for bird flu. The Friday announcement was a break from the previously voluntary testing program for the bird flu virus known as H5N1. This strain of bird flu was first found in US dairy cattle in March, according to the USDA. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said in a statement that the testing program “will give farmers and farmworkers better confidence in the safety of their animals and ability to protect themselves, and it will put us on a path to quickly controlling and stopping the virus’ spread nationwide.” Beyond giving USDA the authority to require milk samples and launching a new testing program, the order requires herd owners to provide information to the department that will allow for virus surveillance and contact tracing. Lab technicians and veterinarians who detect H5N1 must also submit that information to the USDA. The first round of testing is slated to begin on December 16. The New York Times reports that the virus has infected at least 58 people, most of whom have been farmworkers. Among cattle, H5N1 has been found in 720 herds across 15 states. The CDC said last month that it has seen no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus, although reports that some people appear to have contracted the virus without interacting with an infected animal has caused concern. Experts told the Times that they were disappointed with the speed of the transition toward a mandatory testing program. Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health, called the expanded testing “long overdue.” She explained, “Bulk milk testing is the primary way we are identifying outbreaks on farms, which is critical for preventing severe disease for farm workers who’ve been exposed.” In addition to agricultural workers, the relatively small number of Americans who choose to consume raw, unpasteurized milk are at particular risk of contracting the bird flu. Nearly all milk sold in the United States is pasteurized, which eliminates the risk of contracting the virus. As Mother Jones reported earlier this year, promoting raw milk has become a trend among wellness influencers on sites like TikTok: Raw milk influencers have a sizable following, including some whose content doesn’t center solely on diet. Take model Liz Siebert, who has over a million followers on TikTok, and who made videos last year on how she gets her raw milk from a nearby Amish farm, claiming raw milk was helping get her health back on track and reduced her allergy symptoms (most of these clips have now been deleted, but the reaction videos debunking her claims have not ). Raw milk is also a big hit among fitness influencers and “crunchy” moms —parents who want food that’s “natural,” like in the good old days, when viruses killed a lot more people . Another potential reason for alarm are the people who Donald Trump wants to put in charge of public health. As Mother Jones explained on Thursday: Additionally, Trump is angling to bring prominent vaccine deniers to oversee agencies crucial to the nation’s bird flu response. If Trump gets his way, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be led by Tom Weldon , who has sought to remove the agency’s ability to conduct vaccine safety research and has spread vaccine misinformation himself. He also tapped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to “go wild on health” as the director of Health and Human Services. Kennedy was labeled one of the “ Disinformation Dozen ” for spreading misinformation about the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine, and his anti-vaccine efforts contributed to a deadly 2019 measles outbreak in American Samoa. He has also stated “there’s no vaccine that is safe and effective,” and is apparently a fan of raw milk , which can be a conduit for spreading bird flu .

With counting following Friday’s election still in the relatively early stages – after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck – there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise. Taoiseach and Fine Gael leader, Simon Harris, has dismissed talk of a Sinn Fein surge and said he was “cautiously optimistic” about where his party will stand after all the votes are counted. Meanwhile, Ireland’s deputy premier and Fianna Fail leader, Micheal Martin, insisted his party has a “very clear route back to government” as he predicted seat gains. The counting process could last days because of Ireland’s complex system of proportional representation with a single transferable vote (PR-STV), where candidates are ranked by preference. The early indications have turned the focus to the tricky arithmetic of government formation, as the country’s several smaller parties and many independents potentially jockey for a place in government. Ms McDonald told reporters at the RDS count centre in Dublin that she would be “very, very actively pursuing” the potential to form a government with other parties on the left of the political spectrum. The smaller, left-leaning parties in Ireland include the Social Democrats, the Irish Labour Party, the Green Party and People Before Profit-Solidarity. Ms McDonald said her party had delivered an “incredible performance” in the election. “I think it’s fair to say that we have now confirmed that we have broken the political mould here in this state,” she said. “Two party politics is now gone. It’s consigned to the dustbin of history and that, in itself, is very significant.” She added: “I am looking to bring about a government of change, and I’m going to go and look at all formulations. “If you want my bottom line, the idea of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael for another five years, in our strong opinion, is not a good outcome for Irish society. “Obviously, I want to talk to other parties of the left and those that we share very significant policy objectives with. So I’m going to do that first and just hear their mind, hear their thinking. But be very clear, we will be very, very actively pursuing entrance into government.” In Friday night’s exit poll, Sinn Fein was predicted to take 21.1% of first-preference votes, narrowly ahead of outgoing coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fail at 21% and 19.5% respectively. Prior to the election, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael both ruled out entering government with Sinn Fein. Fine Gael leader Mr Harris rejected suggestions Sinn Fein had broken new ground. He told reporters in his count centre in Greystones, Co Wicklow: “Certainly we haven’t seen a Sinn Fein surge or anything like it. “I mean, it looks likely, on the figures that we’ve seen now, fewer people, many fewer people would have voted Sinn Fein in this election than the last one. “In fact, I think they’re down by around 5% and actually the parties, particularly the two parties, the two larger parties in government, are likely to receive significant support from the electorate. So definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented.” He said it was too early to tell what the next government would look like. “I think anybody who makes any suggestion about who is going to be the largest party or the construct of the next government, they’re a braver person than I am,” he said. “Our electoral system dictates that there’ll be many, many transfers that will go on for hours, if not days, before we know the final computations at all. “But what I am very confident about is that my party will have a very significant role to play in the years ahead, and I’m cautiously optimistic and excited.” Fianna Fail’s Mr Martin told reporters at a count centre in Cork he was confident that the numbers exist to form a government with parties that shared his political viewpoint. Mr Martin said it “remains to be seen” whether he would return to the role of Taoiseach – a position he held between 2020 and 2022 – but he expressed confidence his party would outperform the exit poll prediction. “It’s a bit too early yet to call the exact type of government that will be formed or the composition of the next government,” he said. “But I think there are, there will be a sufficiency of seats, it seems to me, that aligns with the core principles that I articulated at the outset of this campaign and throughout the campaign, around the pro-enterprise economy, around a positively pro-European position, a government that will strongly push for home ownership and around parties that are transparently democratic in how they conduct their affairs.” Asked if it would be in a coalition with Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Social Democrats, he said that would be “racing a bit too far ahead”. The final result may dictate that if Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are to return to government, they may need more than one junior partner, or potentially the buy-in of several independent TDs. Mr Martin said it was unclear how quickly a government can be formed, as he predicted his party would gain new seats. “It will be challenging. This is not easy,” he added. The junior partner in the outgoing government – the Green Party – looks set for a bruising set of results. Green leader Roderic O’Gorman is in a fight to hold onto his seat, as are a number of party colleagues, including Media Minister Catherine Martin. “It’s clear the Green Party has not had a good day,” he said. The early counting also suggested potential trouble for Fianna Fail in Wicklow, where the party’s only candidate in the constituency, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, is considered to have a battle ahead, with the risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, there is significant focus on independent candidate Gerard Hutch who, on Saturday evening, was sitting in fourth place in the four-seat constituency of Dublin Central. Last spring, Mr Hutch was found not guilty by the non-jury Special Criminal Court of the murder of David Byrne, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. Mr Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel in February 2016. A Special Criminal Court judge described Mr Hutch, 61, as the patriarchal figurehead of the Hutch criminal organisation and said he had engaged in “serious criminal conduct”. The constituency will be closely watched as other hopefuls wait to see if transfers from eliminated candidates may eventually rule him out of contention. In the constituency of Louth, the much-criticised selection of John McGahon appeared not to have paid off for Fine Gael. The party’s campaign was beset by questioning over footage entering the public domain of the candidate engaged in a fight outside a pub in 2018. The Social Democrats have a strong chance of emerging as the largest of the smaller parties. The party’s leader, Holly Cairns, was already celebrating before a single vote was counted however, having announced the birth of her baby girl on polling day.

Monthly dividends are a fantastic tool for Canadian investors seeking consistent income. Unlike quarterly or annual payouts, receiving every month mimics the rhythm of most household expenses, making it easier to budget and plan. Whether you’re retired and relying on investment income for day-to-day expenses or building wealth for future goals, monthly dividends add a layer of predictability and financial stability. These can even act as a safety net, helping investors stay calm during market volatility because the cash flow continues regardless of stock price fluctuations. Pizza Pizza ( ) exemplifies the value of monthly dividend stocks with its impressive 6.97% forward annual dividend yield. This means shareholders receive approximately $0.0775 per share every month. This is a significant benefit, especially for income-focused investors. The dividend stock has consistently prioritized returning value to shareholders. And its monthly dividends reflect this commitment. For Canadians aiming to build or maintain a reliable passive-income stream, PZA’s payout frequency is a key advantage. And it continues to look solid! In its recent third-quarter 2024 earnings report, Pizza Pizza faced some headwinds, including a 5.3% decline in same-store sales and a 4.6% drop in Royalty Pool System Sales. This totalled $155.8 million. Despite these challenges, the dividend stock demonstrated resilience by maintaining its dividend payouts. Dividends declared for the quarter amounted to $5.7 million, or $0.2325 per share, reflecting a payout ratio of 109%. While a high payout ratio like this can raise concerns about sustainability, PZA has shown an ability to manage its finances effectively over the long term. Historically, Pizza Pizza has weathered economic ups and downs while delivering consistent returns to its shareholders. The dividend stock has positioned itself as a stable player in Canada’s quick-service restaurant industry, leveraging its strong brand recognition and innovative marketing strategies to retain and grow its customer base. This historical performance makes PZA a reliable choice for investors who value steady income alongside growth potential. Looking ahead Looking to the future, PZA has laid out promising initiatives to drive growth and maintain its market position. The dividend stock expanded its restaurant network significantly in 2024, opening 33 new locations, a net increase of 16. These include traditional and non-traditional formats, showing adaptability to changing consumer preferences. On the product side, PZA has launched new offerings like the and the “All for One” special. These have been well-received by customers, adding to its competitive edge. Pizza Pizza has also leveraged its strong digital footprint and marketing campaigns to boost pickup orders, which are becoming increasingly popular. For example, initiatives like the “Pickup Artists” campaign and partnerships with brands like Tabasco have helped the company stay relevant and appeal to a broad customer base. By focusing on value and convenience, PZA continues to stand out in a crowded quick-service restaurant landscape. From a financial standpoint, PZA’s metrics highlight its strengths. As of its most recent quarter, the company reported a profit margin of 77.81% and a return on equity of 10.49%. While its revenue growth faced some pressure, with a year-over-year decline of 4.4%, its focus on strategic expansion and customer engagement suggests a pathway for recovery. The dividend stock has also demonstrated prudent financial management, with operating cash flow at $31.43 million over the trailing 12 months, providing flexibility for future initiatives. Foolish takeaway For Canadian investors seeking reliable monthly income, PZA offers a compelling case. The combination of a high dividend yield, consistent payouts, and a track record of resilience makes it a standout option. Monthly dividends not only enhance cash flow but also provide peace of mind, knowing that income will continue regardless of broader market conditions. This is especially important for those relying on dividends to supplement their living expenses or reinvest for compounded growth. Monthly dividends are a valuable asset for Canadian investors, blending consistency and predictability into any portfolio. Pizza Pizza, with its substantial yield and proactive strategies, is an excellent example of how dividend stocks can provide both income and growth potential. Its ability to navigate challenges while rewarding shareholders makes it a prime choice for anyone seeking to build a stable, income-focused investment strategy.Gen Z seems to have got the workplace right, artifically. With 31 per cent of them reporting a healthy relationship with work, it places them ahead of Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials. A significant factor behind this shift is Gen Z’s willingness to embrace artificial intelligence (AI). Data from HP shows that 83 per cent of Gen Z workers use AI tools at work, outpacing the 75 per cent Millennials who use it. “Gen Z, being digital natives, is super comfortable with tech and loves experimenting with new tools,” Divya Dixit, Chief Growth Officer at One Health Assist explains. Since they value productivity, AI frees them from mundane tasks, giving them more time for meaningful work, which directly boosts job satisfaction. This tech-savvy generation expects workplaces to stay ahead of the technology curve, and AI-driven roles feel “future-focused,” complementing Gen Z’s attraction to innovation and flexibility. Devroop Dhar, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Primus Partners, says, “For India’s 377 million Gen Z individuals, AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a co-pilot unlocking their potential and reshaping the way they learn, work, and innovate.” This sense of alignment between their roles and personal values fosters a strong sense of fulfillment and growth. Gen Z is highly motivated by work-life balance, purpose-driven tasks, and flexibility. “By using AI to automate repetitive tasks, they can save time and focus on creative, strategic work—factors they deeply value,” says Kamaljeet Singh, CHRO at The Sleep Company. Gururaja Yellapur, Vice President and Head of Product Engineering at Omega Healthcare, echoes this sentiment: “AI minimises time spent on mundane tasks, enabling Gen Z to concentrate on creative and impactful projects, fostering both balance and engagement.” Mili Panicker, Director of HR & People Operations at WebEngage, emphasises that Gen Z’s focus on purpose and growth is supported by AI’s role in enhancing efficiency and enabling greater career focus. Automation allows them to shift their energy toward innovative projects and collaborative efforts, increasing engagement. She notes, “AI-driven personalisation in feedback and development pathways also aligns with their desire for continuous growth, fostering a culture of engagement and retention.” As 59 per cent of workers report increased job satisfaction from AI, it’s clear that for Gen Z, AI isn’t just a tool but a catalyst for deeper engagement and job fulfilment,” she adds. Recent data shows 26 per cent of Gen Z frequently uses generative AI, compared to 22 per cent of Millennials. Smita Shetty Kapoor, CEO and Co-founder of Kelp, explains: “80 per cent of Gen Z AI users believe these tools help achieve a better work-life balance by automating repetitive tasks. This allows them to reclaim mental well-being and personal time while aligning with their need for flexibility.” At Mitgo, Managing Director Neha Kulwal shares that Gen Z employees benefit significantly from AI in areas like anti-fraud and fintech, where AI reduces repetitive tasks by hundreds of hours each month. This allows Gen Z employees to focus more on creative, high-impact tasks. Kulwal explains, “AI integration in the workplace lets Gen Z concentrate on creative and significant areas of their profession, as digital natives prefer customised tools tailored to their unique working style, which boosts productivity.” Despite enthusiasm, AI brings workplace pressures. Dixit points out that while it enhances satisfaction, fears of job replacement create anxiety. The potential for automation to replace certain jobs can impact their happiness if not managed effectively. Yellapur stresses: “Clear communication and upskilling opportunities are critical to strengthening Gen Z’s confidence in AI as a career enabler rather than a threat.” Gen Z values mentorship, seeing it as a chance to innovate while honing their skills with AI. Maya Nair, Executive Director at Elixir Consulting, mentions “Gen Z employees are motivated to incorporate AI tools in tasks like documentation or reporting, ensuring efficient task completion.” By embracing AI, they can better manage their workload, remain engaged, and benefit from meaningful mentorship.
