WELLINGTON: New Zealand Rugby has labelled as "unacceptable" the actions of a group of Canterbury Crusaders players who breached the country's strict coronavirus lockdown rules on Monday by training together in a local park. The players, including All Blacks flyhalf Richie Mo'unga, were filmed informally training in Christchurch where they were shown keeping their distance but passing and kicking a ball between each other. New Zealand's nationwide lockdown restricts people from leaving their homes unless it is for essential services like groceries. They can exercise as individuals or with people in the same lockdown 'bubble'. "Some of the Crusaders players have not followed these rules and that is unacceptable," NZR Chief executive Mark Robinson said in comments published by the New Zealand Herald on Tuesday. "We have reminded everyone involved in rugby that they must abide by the New Zealand government COVID-19 guidelines and this situation must not happen again."

Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders , the first Black leader of Canada’s largest municipal police service, is resigning July 31 — a surprise move that comes with eight months left in his contract and amid growing calls for police reform locally and across North America. Monday’s sudden announcement, which has stunned both rank and file and higher-ups in his own force, comes at a time of upheaval for Saunders’ profession. Just three days ago, Saunders — an officer of 37 years, all of them in Toronto — took a knee as a sign of solidarity with protesters decrying police use of force against Black citizens and amid growing calls to “ defund” police organizations . By then, he knew he was leaving. Days before, Saunders had advised the Toronto police board and Mayor John Tory that he was stepping down early — despite the civilian police board last summer extending his contract into a sixth year, to April 2021, so he could continue his central task of modernizing the force. But … [Read more...] about Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders — the force’s first Black leader — steps down, stunning his own staff

Black Widow was meant to kick off the next batch of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies known as Phase Four. READ: Disney, Netflix and Warner Bros. have shutdown productions due to COVID-19 Since establishing the MCU, Marvel has released its films in phases, which represent an inter-connected series of films and usually culminate in an Avengers team-up. What happens in one film usually has an impact on other film in the same phase, which raises the possibility that a delay on the release of Black Widow could affect the entire Phase Four. Films in Phase Four currently include The Eternals, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of the Ten Rings, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, a sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home and Thor: Love And Thunder. Besides Black Widow, another Phase Four … [Read more...] about Disney delays Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow debut due to coronavirus
