But now, since the country has opened up again, the volume of mistreated or homeless dogs coming to our doors is probably worse than it’s ever been. We have on average eighty to ninety dogs at any given time and new strays are arriving every single day. Dogs are coming to us aged around one or two, and the majority are not spayed or neutered. It’s countless; there seems to be an infinite number of abandoned animals who need a home....
Now the whole world knows how tragically wrong they were. For the last five weeks, their home in central Israel has been a virtual prison.

(Her father claims he can’t talk to her anymore because “[she] has become a Palestinian....
Barca fan Dybala out to end Madrid dream Giroud scored a hat-trick with Moussa Sissoko and Griezmann capped off a comfortable victory as France crushed Paraguay 5-0 in a friendly in Rennes on Friday. The 30-year-old endured a difficult season at Arsenal, starting just 11 of his 29 Premier League appearances and contributing 12 goals. But Griezmann is confident Giroud is the right man to spearhead France’s attack and wants to help him build goalscoring momentum....
Gabovich, a former scientist-turned-businessman, was born in Ukraine and has spent all five decades of his life there. He is a co-owner of the Campus Community A-Hotel in Kyiv’s city center, which opened two years ago and prior to the Russian invasion provided a unique hotel experience accommodating 260 people at a price of $10-15 per night, per bed. But the invasion flipped the hotel’s script upside down, just like most else across Ukraine....
[HTML1] At this point, it’s practically a given that any high profile, triple-A release will have some form of Season Pass. In some cases, that Pass serves as a way to discount post-release content (Call of Duty: Ghosts); while in others it allows early access to content (Battlefield 4). In the case of Watch Dogs, it’s both. Although word of a Watch Dogs Season Pass has been circulating the Net for the last month, Ubisoft made it official with news of a price point, details, and a new trailer (seen above)....
Mbappe has entered the final six months of his contract with Ligue 1 giants PSG. There are suggestions the 23-year-old forward will join European heavyweights Real Madrid when his deal with the Parisians expires.

However, the 29-year-old revealed that Mbappe had not told him anything about a move to the Santiago Bernabeu....
The defending national champions dismantled No. 20 Southern California 52-6 in Arlington, Texas — the Trojans’ worst loss in 50 years — and it took three questions for Saban to launch into a self-evaluation of the most dominant program in college football. “If you want to know the truth about it, I wasn’t pleased with the way we played,” Saban said. “If you look at your internal scoreboard rather than the external scoreboard, you say, ‘What do we need to do to improve?...
The trio have been poroductive for the Anfield outfit this season, accounting for 59 of the 80 goals scored by the Reds in the Premier League. On Sunday, Salah was rewarded for his incredible 41 goals in all competitions as he was crowned the PFA Players’ Player of the Year. And the former Southampton man has revealed how they help each other during games which have been the secret behind their impressive form....
Barcelona have been busy this summer. They have made quality signings like Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Franck Kessie and Raphinha. Xavi, though, believes more signings are necessary to take the team forward. However, the Spanish tactician hasn’t used that as an excuse for the draw against Vallecano. The Blaugrana’s starting XI comprised the likes of Pedri, Gavi, Ousmane Dembele and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. After the game, Xavi said (via ESPN):...
Manchester City currently lead the Premier League by 15 points, with 13 games of the season remaining. City have lost just once in 2017-18 - to Liverpool - and have drawn just twice, while United have suffered four defeats and recorded five draws.

Athletic deal Copa del Rey blow to Barca Barca had two penalty claims - one involving Neymar and another Pique - turned down during their defeat in the first leg of their last-16 tie against the Basque club, though the hosts later had Raul Garcia and Ander Iturraspe sent off.

Goals from Julian Draxler, Angel Di Maria and an Edinson Cavani brace led PSG to a record fourth successive Coupe de la Ligue and a convincing triumph over Leonardo Jardim’s swashbuckling top-flight leaders. Ligue 1 greats: Claude Makelele Reigning champions PSG are three points behind Monaco with eight games of the Ligue 1 season remaining and Meunier feels a damaging night in Lyon for the leaders could play into the capital club’s hands....
In a cyberwar, the offensive force picks the battlefield, and the other side may not even realize when it’s under attack. Defense Department officials believe the intrusions, which they describe as “sophisticated, patient and persistent,” began at a low level of access in January. Security sleuths spotted them almost immediately and “back-hacked” the source to computers in Russia. Soon, though, the attackers developed new tools that allowed them to enter undetected (although they sometimes left electronic traces that could be reconstructed later)....
Last week alone, more than 100 new human cases of West Nile were reported. The virus was detected as far west as Colorado and Wyoming, infecting 371 and killing 16 people in 20 states plus the District of Columbia. This year West Nile appeared earlier in the mosquito season–mid-June instead of August–and claimed younger victims; the median age dropped from 65 to 54. Federal health officials are still trying to figure out why, but say they may be finding more West Nile precisely because they’re on the lookout for it....

Ben Chilwell has been sidelined for the remainder of the season while Reece James still hasn’t achieved match fitness after suffering a hamstring injury.

Zidane’s men are on a worrying run of form, with just one win in their past five matches in all competitions.

The Serie A champions have long-since been keen to extend Dybala’s existing contract in order to reward him for his fine performances since joining the club from Palermo in 2015. Dybala: Napoli can still hurt Juve Juventus were hoping to wrap up talks and announce Dybala’s renewal in early March, but the 23-year-old’s representative has flown to Argentina to attend the birth of his son meaning talks have been postponed for the time being....
Napoli boosted their Scudetto chances with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Genoa on Sunday, with centre-back Raul Albiol scoring the winner. Seeking their first Serie A title since 1989-90, Napoli took their chance to reduce Juve’s lead atop the table after Massimiliano Allegri’s men were held to a shock draw by SPAL on Saturday. “At this stage last season, Juventus had basically already won the title, so this means we are causing them real problems,” Sarri told Mediaset Premium....
Sotomayor lives with type 1 diabetes. Because of this, she has been more cautious against COVID-19 than the other justices and has attended some meetings remotely, The Washington Post reported. A Tuesday NPR article written by Nina Totenberg said “court sources” mentioned that Sotomayor did not feel safe around unmasked people, and in response, Chief Justice John Roberts “in some form asked the other justices to mask up.” Totenberg wrote that all except Gorsuch did, causing Sotomayor to refrain from attending the court’s weekly conference in person....
