Baseball team LA Dodgers refuse federal agents access to stadium amid US immigration raids
THE LOS ANGELES Dodgers have said they barred US federal immigration agents from entering the team's stadium as a fresh wave of raids continued across the city. The baseball team, who have been criticised for their failure to comment publicly on the US government's immigration crackdown in Los Angeles, said in a statement the team denied access to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who 'requested permission to access the parking lots.' 'They were denied entry to the grounds by the organisation,' the statement said, adding that the team's game on Thursday would go ahead as scheduled. Images and video shared on social media showed a line of unmarked trucks and masked agents at one Dodger Stadium entrance while protesters nearby chanted 'ICE out of LA.' The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later clarified that the agents at the venue were from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), not ICE. 'This had nothing to do with the Dodgers. CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement,' a DHS statement said. The incident comes against a backdrop of heightened tensions in Los Angeles, which has become ground zero of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown across the US. The city has seen scattered violence but mostly peaceful protests in recent weeks, ignited by an escalation in federal immigration sweeps that have targeted migrant workers in garment factories, car washes and other workplaces.

In addition to mobilising ICE agents, Trump has ordered the deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines into the city in response to the protests – a move opposed by city leaders and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is a Democrat. The incident at Dodger Stadium on Thursday comes as the reigning World Series champions have faced criticism for their response to the immigration crackdown. The team has a heavily Latino fan base, with some claiming a sense of betrayal over the franchise's failure to speak out against the ongoing raids. As of early Thursday, the Dodgers have made no formal statement in regard to the immigration raids across the city. '100% betrayal' The team's failure to condemn the immigration offensive came under scrutiny last weekend, when Latin American pop singer Nezza defied Dodgers officials and sang the US national anthem in Spanish before the team's home game. Speaking outside Dodger Stadium on Thursday after federal agents had left the venue, one 27-year-old fan among a small group of protesters told AFP she felt let down by the team. 'They've been very quiet since these ICE raids started, and I think it's very hypocritical of them not to say anything when the majority of their fan base is the Latino population here in Los Angeles,' Paola, who asked only to be identified by her first name, told AFP.

I was born and raised here, I've supported them my whole life – for them not to come out and support us during these times is messed up.' Protesters demonstrate outside of Dodger Stadium. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Los Angeles Times sports columnist Dylan Hernandez has slammed the team's response to the immigration crackdown. 'The Dodgers boast that more than 40% of their fan base is Latino, but they can't even be bothered to offer the shaken community any words of comfort,' Hernandez wrote. 'How ungrateful. How disrespectful. How cowardly.' While the Dodgers have remained silent, the team's popular outfielder Enrique Hernandez lashed out against the raids in a statement on Instagram. 'I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city,' wrote Hernandez, who is from Puerto Rico. 'This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.'

The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025: Who takes the top spot?
The World's 50 Best Restaurants has announced this year's recipients of 'The World's Best Restaurant' - one of the world's most prestigious food awards. The awards ceremony took place last night in Turin, Italy, where the crowd gathered to celebrate the top restaurants and chefs for 2025. A panel of more than 1,000 experts, split into 27 regions around the world, came together to decide on the final ranking. So, what is the World's Best Restaurant this year? The accolade went to Maido in Lima, Peru – which was placed at number 5 in the 2024 awards and now unseats last year's winner, Disfrutar in Barcelona, Spain, to the top spot. Maido's Lima-born chef Mitsuharu Tsumura cooks a fusion of Latin American and Japanese flavours, and said: 'We talk a lot about sustainability of the environment, but we rarely talk about human sustainability. I think this industry can be an example of how we can bring people together with the power of food.' Every year, the panel awards special prizes to chefs, front-of-house staff, and activists who are leading the charge in hospitality in 2025. This year's special awards went to the Best Female Chef, Pichaya 'Pam' Soontornyanakij of Potong, Bangkok and Mindy Woods in Byron Bay, winner of the Champions of Change 2025 award. The World's Best Pastry Chef award went to Parisian chef Maxime Frederic, while the Estrella Damm Chefs' Choice Award went to Alberta Adrià, head chef of Enigma in Barcelona. The highest-ranking restaurants on each continent were given a special mention. Maido, as the best restaurant in the world, takes care of South America. Incidentally, Peru was well represented in the Top 50 list, as three other Lima-based establishments joined Maido: Kjolle (9); Mérito (26); Mayta (39). Tresind Studio in Dubai (ranked number 27 in this year's awards) was named the best restaurant in the Middle East. The best restaurant in Asia is Gaggan in Bangkok, at number 6, while the best restaurant in North America is Quintonil in Mexico City (number 3). The best restaurant in Europe is Asador Etxebarri in Spain (number 2 this year and last year). Spain also has DiverXO in Madrid in the global Top 5, retaining its number 4 spot. Elsewhere in the Top 20, Denmark's Alchemist (Copenhagen) ranks number 5 and climbs three spots compared to last year; France's Paris-based Table by Bruno Verjus drops to number 8 from its number 3 ranking in 2024, and Plénitude (also in Paris) has the 14th spot this year, up four compared to last year; and the UK's Ikoyi, which was ranked 42nd in 2024, jumps up to number 15. Italy is the European country with the most restaurants in 2025's Top 20 list, with Lido 84 in Lake Garda, Reale in Castel di Sangro and Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico all ranking 16th, 18th and 20th respectively.

Restaurant Jan, Munich, Germany When we left the 28 (pick your time span) Later franchise in 2007, the protocol-breaching actions of two misguided siblings led to the carpetbombing of London's no-longer-safe zone. Kids... What can you do? 28 Weeks Later, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's surprisingly effective follow up to director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland's 2002 zombie genre revitalizing horror experience, ended with a devilish final stinger that had audiences saying 'Et, merde' at the sight of the Rage Virus-infected emerging from a Paris Métro. 18 years later (in the real world) and 28 years later (in the Rage-infested world), Boyle and Garland are back, and they're not keen to simply rest on their laurels. We quickly learn that the terrifying pandemic has been beaten back from mainland Europe (the French presumably shrugged off the infestation and dusted off the guillotines) and that Rage is contained to Blighty. They really can't catch a break... And in many ways, that's the point. While the infected are still out and about, there exists a safe space – an island within an island. Its name is Lindisfarne, aka: Holy Island, and it's in this isolationist community, only connected to the UK mainland via a causeway crossable at low tide, where we meet 12-year-old Spike (newcomer Alfie Williams). His scavenger father Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is keen to make a man out of him and so decides to embark on a coming-of-age ritual of sorts: take him inland for the first time in search of his first kill. As Spike's bedbound and mysteriously sick mother Isla (Jodie Comer) foretells in a fit of expletives, it's a really dumb idea... 28 Years Later doesn't look or feel like 28 Days Later. Or 28 Weeks Later, for that matter. So those wanting more of the same may end up disappointed. Ditching the lo-fi, punk rawness of the first brush with sprinting nightmare fuel and the equally lean-and-mean feel of the second, 28 Years Later is crisper and more expensive-looking. While that may frustrate some audiences, what's clear is that Boyle and Garland didn't come back to simply cash in and play it safe. It couldn't be any other way. 28 Days Later breathed new life into a horror mainstay by having the sprinting Rage-infected replacing traditional reanimated corpses. More than two decades later, zombies have invaded the screens and become ubiquitous – to the point of exhaustion. From the big screen offerings of the Rec franchise, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland and Planet Terror (to mention only the high points) to the zeitgeist-capturing small screen hits The Walking Dead and The Last Of Us, civilisation-threatening outbreaks featuring ravenous walkers, crawlers and biters have become mainstream. The only way was forward. And a lot has happened since 2007's 28 Weeks Later – namely Brexit and a worldwide pandemic. Both of these resonate in 28 Years Later, especially the self-inflicted isolationist wound. The nationalist and seclusionist subtext becomes text: Saint George's Cross flying above the community; the banner reading 'Fail we may but go we must'; the sea patrol keeping the infection contained to the UK; the 'us' and 'them'-ness of looking backwards to a past of the England that once was... It all makes for a simple but effective Brexit analogy. It's not particularly subtle; but then again, no allegory-infused zombie movie ever was. And neither was Brexit. The obviousness of certain thematical strands is countered by some far more surprising choices, like the teasing-and-ditching of The Wicker Man motifs and the Summerisle setting in favour of exploring the evolution of the infected. Of course, the introduction of various kinds of berserkers ('slow-lows' or the terrifying 'Alphas' with Predator penchants for spine-yanking) will lead to inescapable comparisons with The Last Of Us. But the script does enough to explore the potential of its ideas without toppling into déjà vu – particularly when one initially grating yet radical element is introduced... Then there are unpredictably profound moments in the second half of the film, culminating in the Memento Mori / Memento Amori dichotomy, which is brilliantly delivered by the show's last act MVP Dr. Kelson, played to perfection by Ralph Fiennes. His scenes with Spike have an emotional resonance that elevates the material and make it hard to fathom how Alfie Williams is so accomplished for a first-time actor. We'll hopefully be seeing both Boy Meets World and the iodine-covered Colonel Kurtz again soon, as 28 Years Later was filmed back-to-back with the first sequel in a planned new trilogy, titled 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which is slated to hit theaters in January 2026. Let's pray Young Fathers return too, as their terrific soundtrack is not worth ignoring. From the Teletubbies opening to a heroically bizarre finale which scoffers will likely liken to The Village, via a three-act structure that makes a young hero's odyssey evolve from a father-son adventure to a mother-son rescue mission to a young father figure spreading his wings, 28 Years Later's strange verve is exhilarating. While there are some pacing issues, as well as surplus to requirement CGI moments involving swarms of birds and deer, Boyle and Garland have truly outdone themselves. Without skimping on the edge-of-your-seat tension and gruesome viscera that made the first two instalments so pant-browningly effective, their belated sequel is a radical revival that eschews the obvious at every turn. It may not satisfy everyone, but give us daring over safe any day / week / year of the Rage pandemic. 28 Years Later is out in cinemas now.

M&A News: Fox Corp (FOXA) Acquires Caliente TV
Media company Fox Corp (FOXA) has acquired Caliente TV, which is a sports streaming platform and TV channel, in order to strengthen its sports broadcasting footprint in Mexico. This acquisition gives Fox access to valuable broadcasting rights for major competitions like the UEFA Champions League, France's Ligue 1, and select Liga MX matches, which will allow it to meet the rising demand for premium sports content in the region. Confident Investing Starts Here: Following the acquisition, Fox plans to expand its offerings through a multi-platform strategy that includes launching a new pay TV channel and a subscription-based video-on-demand service. These services will complement Tubi, which is Fox's existing free and ad-supported streaming platform. Interestingly, Carlos Martinez, Fox's executive vice president and managing director for Latin America, will lead the rollout of these new plans in Mexico and Central America. It is worth noting that Martinez brings more than 30 years of experience in the Latin American broadcasting industry. While Fox did not disclose the financial details of the Caliente TV deal, the move is in line with its overall streaming strategy. Indeed, just last month, the company announced that Fox One, its new subscription streaming service, would debut before the start of the fall football season. The shift comes as Fox sees growing advertiser interest across its platforms—including Fox News, Fox Sports, and Tubi—which helped it surpass revenue expectations in its latest quarterly earnings. Is FOXA Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on FOXA stock based on seven Buys, seven Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below.

Feed Phosphate Market worth $3.52 billion by 2030- Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™
DELRAY BEACH, Fla., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The feed phosphate market is estimated at USD 2.79 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3.52 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a report published by MarketsandMarkets™. Feed phosphates contribute to the overall health and welfare of animals, including bone development, energy metabolism, and immunity. Consequently, livestock and poultry farmers should benefit from feed phosphates that enhance animal welfare, leading to increased usage of feed phosphates in the future. The feed phosphates market is experiencing growth due to various factors, such as the rising global demand for animal protein, the expansion of livestock production, improved feed efficiency, a focus on animal health, regulatory support, technological advancements, greater awareness of animal nutrition, the adoption of sustainable farming practices, and ongoing research and development efforts. As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for animal-based products is expected to rise further, driving the expansion of the feed phosphates market in the future. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Feed Phosphate Market'150– Tables60– Figures250– Pages Download PDF Brochure: By form, the powdered form segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The powdered form of feed phosphate offers an excellent opportunity in the manufacturing of animal feed, standing out due to its ease of handling, rapid blending, and even distribution in a feed mixture. The feed phosphate is primarily phosphorus, an essential nutrient for muscle development, growth, reproduction, and overall health (bone health) and is usually sourced from dicalcium phosphate (DCP) or monocalcium phosphate (MCP). The specific formulation ensures good solubility in water or feed by incorporating dairy feed products. It dissolves easily in water or mixtures, facilitating an even distribution of phosphorus within the feed. Phosphate also contains the highest concentration of phosphorus in feed formulations, representing an inexpensive source of phosphorus to meet livestock and poultry nutrition targets throughout all life stages. By livestock, the swine segment holds the third-largest share in the feed phosphate market. According to the International Magazine for Animal Feed & Additives Industry, global pig feed production is projected to decline by 0.6% in 2024, totaling 369.293 million mt. Production growth in the European, Latin American, and North American pork segments was offset by decreases in Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania. The overall trends were partly influenced by the ability of producers in these regions to recover from previous outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF), the potential for export demand that allows Europe and Latin America to recover their lost production, and the decisions of producers in each region to maintain a recovery focus. For the pig feed segment to grow on a global basis, disease control and the stability of feed prices will affect both the porcine industry and the pig feed segment, potentially presenting significant opportunities for growth in 2024. Request Sample Pages: Based on region, North America holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The feed phosphate market in North America is steadily gaining traction due to the strong cultural ties of livestock and poultry, as well as the established industries in the region. The increased demand for quality protein sources through meat, dairy, and poultry products has led to a need for balanced nutrients in animal feed. Feed phosphates play an essential role in ensuring bone development, improving feed efficiency, and maintaining livestock health, making them a crucial ingredient in livestock formulations. Factors that may drive market growth in the region include the increased reliance on intensive livestock production, advancements in feed technology, and a growing awareness of animal nutritional management with sustainably sourced feed ingredients. The impact of climate change has prompted regulations that promote the efficient use of phosphorus as a nutrient to help maintain biodiversity. Nevertheless, feed producers will continue to respond to demands from producers for only the highest-grade phosphates through feed formulations that are both bioavailable and sustainably sourced. The report profiles key players including Mosaic (US), Nutrien (Canada), OCP (Morocco), Yara (Norway), EuroChem Group (Switzerland), PhosAgro Group (Russia), Phosphea (France), Fosfitalia Group (Italy), J.R.
