Football: Man City to wear new jersey for Arsenal game to promote COVID-19 relief fund
REUTERS: Manchester City will wear special shirts to promote the launch of a COVID-19 relief fund set up by parent company City Football Group (CFG) when they resume their Premier League season against Arsenal on Wednesday. City's shirt will have a 'Cityzens Giving for Recovery' campaign logo instead of their usual partners Etihad Airways, who have donated the branding space to kickstart the initiative set up to help communities get back on their feet. CFG, which also owns eight other football clubs around the world, has donated almost 1 million pounds (US$1.3 million) to the global COVID-19 emergency response. The group hopes to match that figure through its new initiative, in which it will raise funds through its clubs, staff, players, coaches and fans along with its commercial partners, and then match those contributions pound for pound, it said.

New York begs for federal help over COVID-19 as Fed sets up fiscal supports
WASHINGTON: New York Mayor Bill de Blasio pleaded for help from the federal government and from private citizens to fight the coronavirus outbreak as the US Federal Reserve launched an extraordinary array of initiatives to mitigate the pandemic's economic impact. He sounded the alarm as US Senate Democrats and Republicans tried to hammer out an economic relief bill, aware that failure could have a devastating effect on states, cities and businesses, and could trigger further heavy losses in US stock markets. "I want to appeal to everyone in the House and Senate, you have got to help cities, towns, countries, states, public hospitals, private hospitals. You've got to get all of them direct relief," de Blasio told CNN on Monday (Mar 23).
