Jewish father is viciously beaten in street in Canada as one of his two kids hollers for help
An Orthodox Jewish man was brutally attacked in front of his two young children in Quebec in a vicious assault that was caught on video. Footage of the attack on Friday afternoon saw the 32-year-old unidentified victim sprawled out on the sidewalk as a man rained down punches to his head and body. One of the victim's kids stuck by their father and cried out for help as they attempted to shield them both from the blows in the Montreal borough of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension in Canada. Once the assault was over, the attacker stood up to gather his belongings and placed them into a red shopping bag. A second child rushed into view to help their father while, in a final act of contempt, the assailant hurled the victim's yarmulke (skull cap) into a nearby fountain. It's not clear what sparked the attack, but Canada 's Prime Minister Mark Carney lead the condemnations of the 'appalling act of violence' against the Jewish father. Police responded to a 911 call at 2.45pm but the attacker had fled the scene before officers arrived. Police spokeswoman Caroline Chevrefils confirmed the authenticity of the footage and said that the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries: 'The reason for the assault is not yet known.' Prime Minister Carney used X to post: 'Everyone in Canada has an inalienable right to live in safety. My thoughts are with the victim and his family as they recover, and my support is with law enforcement as they work to bring the perpetrator to justice.' Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante described the attack as 'troubling', while Hampstead Mayor Jeremy Levi, who posted the video online, went further in a statement. Hampstead mayor Levi said: 'This is beyond deplorable - it is an outrage against basic human decency. In the heart of Montreal, a Jewish father is savagely beaten in front of his children. 'This is the Canada that Mark Carney has allowed to fester - a place where weakness in leadership has emboldened brutality. Hampstead made a different choice long ago. 'We refused to bow to complacency. We increased our Public Security budget by 50 per cent, ensuring we are ready, capable, and unwilling to depend on politicians who lack the courage to protect their own citizens. We will defend our people - every time, without apology.' The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs echoed those concerns and called on authorities 'to hold the attacker accountable', it also warned leaders at all levels to 'confront this dangerous escalation'. Police urged for information from anyone with details of the attack.

Liverpool have ‘clear run' to agree IDEAL signing
While the focus is understandably on bringing in a new attacker before the window closes, a centre-back has must also sit at the top of Richard Hughes' to-do-list over the next few weeks. Jarell Quansah's move to Bayer Leverkusen now feels like ages ago, but the significance of that transfer hasn't been forgotten. Buying a replacement is imperative if we're to be successful again. LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Of course, there are players in Arne Slot's squad that can cover the vacant position if one of Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate get injured, but the solutions available are far from substantial. To not bringing someone else in would be to start the season with a glaringly obvious weakness. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Fortunately, a number of defensive targets are being rumoured of possible moves to Merseyside and an exciting update has just be published on someone would be a huge transfer scalp to secure. Reds have 'clear-run' at Guehi According to Mike McGrath at The Telegraph, the club's chances of signing a centre-back have risen. In his latest update, he said: "Liverpool are in pole position to land England centre-back Marc Guehi should he leave Crystal Palace this summer with a year left on his contract. "... They will have a clear run at the 25-year-old as Chelsea are currently prioritising other transfer targets despite Levi Colwill's anterior ligament injury leaving them short at the back. "Newcastle came close to signing Guehi a year ago with talks over a £70m deal but they are focusing on different positions, with a striker the priority for Eddie Howe." As such, the competition is slowly falling away and Liverpool remain interested. The move is on. It cannot be underestimated how significant it is that Chelsea have pulled away, since Colwill is set to miss most of the season with his ACL injury. New signing and former Liverpool target Jorrel Hato is in line to cover him, but another defender was certainly on most Chelsea fans' minds this week. Furthermore, while Newcastle might still have hopes of signing him, since their situation is incredible similar to the Reds' - both teams want a new striker and a defender - I wouldn't rule anything out yet. But ever since our interest in Guehi was announced, fans have been really excited about the move. If it appears likely that Ibrahima Konate will move on a free transfer next summer, then already having a seasoned professional with leadership experience will certainly help to ease the team's transition. In addition, while Guehi might also be available for free next summer upon the expiration of his contract, Liverpool would be taking a significant risk by waiting now we have a 'clear run' at him. McGrath didn't include a valuation of the player in his update, but around £40m is expected to get a deal done. From an outsiders point of view, Liverpool should just pay the money, although a more structured agreement is likely to be necessary if Guehi is someone the recruitment team like. But notions of deciding against signing a centre-back need to be banished. We're talking about risking the Premier League title this season if the position isn't sufficiently addressed over the next three weeks and with at least one of the Reds' targets ready for a formal approach, a deal is pivotal.

Roma Open Talks to Onboard Manchester City Starlet
Adding an attacker is next on the agenda for Roma, and they have set their sights on Claudio Echeverri, who hasn't starred regularly since moving from River Plate to Manchester City. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the formula is the main obstacle. The Giallorossi want to have a chance to keep the talent if he fares well, but the Sky Blues are reluctant to grant it. They are willing to loan him out so he can gain experience but don't want to lose control over him. They spent nearly €19M to acquire him from River Plate. Roma are seeking a pacey player who would play on the left side of the attack, and Echeverri would fit the mold. He has featured just thrice in the past six months, scoring once. Instead, he logged 4 goals and 8 assists in 48 matches with River Plate. He has 3 caps with Argentina to his name. The Giallorossi took a look at Antonio Nusa, but RB Leipzig demand €50M. They were never too close to Igor Paixao, who transferred to Olympique Marseille for €30M. Our Take on Roma Eyeing Echeverri They'll need another piece as Stephan El Shaarawy is the only natural option there. Still, Gian Piero Gasperini isn't necessarily fixated on using inverted wingers, and the most menacing solution would be simply to use Paulo Dybala and Matias Soulé together as often as they can. Tommaso Baldanzi is also in the mix, and Neil El Aynaoui could turn out to be a better weapon as a no.10 than in the midfield. They can take their time to find the right solution rather than just groom and valorize a youngster for another team.
