Feathers fly as Philippine cockfighting shakes off Covid closures

Shut for two years during the Covid-19 pandemic, traditional cockfighting arenas are getting back to full capacity across the archipelago nation. Cockfighting is hugely popular in the Philippines, where millions of dollars are bet on matches every week.

EPL TALK: Oil-rich clubs are taking control, it's silly to pretend otherwise

State-owned, oil-rich EPL clubs Newcastle (left) and Manchester City are flying high in the top four of the Premier League table.
