Abu Dhabi-backed Fund's Bid to Acquire Bankrupt UK Publisher and Telegraph Newspaper

Jeff Zucker's investment group RedBird IMI has proposed a deal to acquire a bankrupt British publishing group, offering around $750 million to the Barclay family, owners of the Telegraph newspaper and Spectator magazine, to repay their debt to Lloyds Banking Group. RedBird would have the option to convert the loan into equity, while additional debt financing would come from International Media Investments. If approved, the deal would end the Barclay family's ownership of the Telegraph and Spectator. The proposal has raised concerns about foreign influence over British publications and will be subject to regulatory review. Zucker has been actively seeking deals, including a potential purchase of CNN.

Newgarden's Indy 500 Win Marred by Flying Tire Incident.

A racing fan's car was hit by a loose tire during the Indianapolis 500 race, causing damage to the front left side near the headlight. The owner of the car, Robin Matthews, was grateful that no one was seriously injured from the tire. Matthews was later invited by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway president to take photos on the race track and even let her kiss the bricks. One person was transported to the infield care center after being struck by debris not from the tire during the crash.

Controversy Surrounds Boston Marathon Incident Involving Police and Spectators.

A Boston Marathon runner was caught on a doorbell camera Monday dropping their shorts on someone’s front lawn in order to relieve themselves during the 26.2-mile race. The homeowner whose lawn was unexpectedly fertilized shared the video to Reddit, titling the post, “One of the marathon runners just took a s–t in my yard (video inside).” Marathon organizers said on their website there are toilets at every water and medical stop throughout the race course. This year’s winners — Evans Chebet and Hellen Obiri, both of Kenya — went without bathroom breaks and finished their races in 2:05:54 and 2:21:38, respectively.
