Anže Kopitar scores, but Kings drop another home game

LOS ANGELES — Despite missing four players, including their two biggest stars, the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers had sharp enough claws to maul the Kings, 5-2, on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings lost for the third time in four games overall and slipped to 1-4-2 at home this season after being the NHL’s best home team last season. The Panthers continued their step-forward, step-back quest for a three-peat after losing to the Ducks, 7-3, on Tuesday night. Both teams dangled precariously above a .500 points percentage. It was Florida’s first win in Los Angeles since March of 2019. The Kings have scored two or fewer goals six times and lost five of those games, and they have surrendered three or more goals in 11 of 15 outings, losing in nine such instances. “You can’t panic. We’d like to score more, I’d like to score more, but it’s just not happening right now,” winger Trevor Moore said. “We like what we see in a lot of areas in our game, we don’t want to get away from those.” Anže Kopitar and Corey Perry each scored for the Kings. Anton Forsberg stopped a meager 19 of 24 shots. With no Matthew Tkachuk or Aleksander Barkov so far this season, Florida got two goals from Brad Marchand Thursday to bring his total to nine. Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart and Anton Lundell also deposited the puck. Niko Mikkola chipped in two assists. Sergei Bobrovsky made 24 saves. The final frame saw the Kings create opportunities only to see them evaporate summarily. “We came out with lots of energy in the third period, we had three or four good looks around Bobrovsky, we had a chance to push and then we shot ourselves in the foot, I guess you’d call it, it’s one of the phrases, there’s a few different ones,” Kings coach Jim Hiller said. Down a goal, they went to the power play, but after Kopitar was foiled on a backdoor chance, a Kevin Fiala giveaway led to a short-handed breakaway goal for Lundell with 11:19 to play. With 7:24 left, Mikkola’s well-timed pinch at the offensive blue line created an Adrian Kempe turnover, leaving Marchand open for a snipe from the inner part of the right circle that threw the game into the refrigerator. “A few mistakes ended up in the net, that’s the way it goes,” defenseman Mikey Anderson said. “They’re a great team for a reason, they don’t need much to capitalize.” The Panthers are now 103-6-7 when leading after two periods during the Paul Maurice era, which has seen them win three Eastern Conference crowns and two Stanley Cup titles. The Kings trailed 3-2 at the second intermission. Their penalty kill improved to 20 for its past 22, with two short-handed goals offsetting what little they allowed in that span, but gave up an even-strength goal. At 11:45, after Perry nearly set up Alex Turcotte at the other end, the Panthers pulled back in front off a counterattack. Carter Verhaeghe lent speed to the rush and found Reinhart, who turned 30 on Thursday, in the slot for a backhand tally shortly afterward. The Kings had fallen down by a goal, tilted the ice in their favor to take a lead and then committed a blunder to leave the match tied at 2-all through 20 minutes. With 2:30 left in the frame, Forsberg showed limited situational awareness as he casually handled the puck behind the net before being stripped clean by Marchand. The former Boston Bruins captain scored with total ease. Aaron Ekblad’s assist meant that all three key re-signings this summer for Florida recorded a point Thursday since Marchand and Bennett each had a goal. “He’s been outstanding for us all season, he’s the one who drives us,” Bobrovsky said of Marchand. “He’s a leader in the locker room and a leader on the ice.” The Kings had taken their first lead off Perry’s goal 6:30 earlier. Anderson’s stretch pass eluded a diving Ekblad, finding Perry at the blue line. He dashed in and roofed the puck far side for his sixth of the season. That placed him in a three-way tie for the team lead, despite Perry’s having played six fewer games than either Kempe or Fiala. “He’s played enough games now, he’s been around and he knows what it takes,” Anderson said of Perry. “He’s a guy everyone will look to, even if he’s a little quieter. If you watch him play it’s pretty evident he’s making a mark.” Perry, who fought A.J. Greer in the waning moments Thursday, drew the penalty that led to the Kings’ first goal, 9:23 into the contest. They had gone 1 for their previous 22 on the power play and gotten just two goals from their centers in a combined 52 games played, until Kopitar scored his first of the season. He deflected Kempe’s shot past Bobrovsky to finally break the seal for 2025-26, his 20th and final NHL season. Just over two minutes into the match, the Panthers took advantage of some defensive discombobulation. A turnover by Phil Danault inside the offensive blue line was compounded by multiple pinches in the neutral zone, including by both defensemen, Brian Dumoulin and Cody Ceci. That ultimately left Andrei Kuzmenko alone at the net front, where Bennett easily out-battled him for a rebound that he popped past Forsberg. The natives were restless on Figueroa on Thursday, with the loudest boos of the campaign to date and the first “fire Hiller” chants breaking out as the final horn loomed. “I didn’t hear it, no, but, it happens, you know, it’s sports,” Moore said. SPECIAL GUESTS Several members of the Dodgers were the Kings’ guests at the game, receiving multiple loud ovations after winning their second straight World Series title last weekend.

How Virat Kohli’s Fitness Routine And Diet Keep Him In Excellent Shape At 37

Despite celebrating his 37th birthday on Wednesday, November 5, and nearing the end of his illustrious playing career, legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli maintains an excellent physique and fitness standards. Rigorously following a strict diet and a disciplined workout routine, Kohli seems to have cracked the code on how to defy ageing and retain the shape he had in the pink of his youth as a dominant international batter. In an old interview with Star Sports, Kohli revealed that his pursuit to be the fittest cricketer in the Indian team and one of the game’s finest athletes began even as he ended the 2011-12 season with consistent performances and his reputation was enhanced at the highest level. Never one to rest on his laurels, the determined cricketer looked at himself in the mirror one day during the IPL 2012 and decided to transform his lifestyle completely. Here is a brief insight into Kohli’s inspiring fitness routine and uncompromised dietary choices. Virat Kohli On His Fitness Routine “When you begin your fitness journey, you experiment with everything, vitamins, extra hydration, proteins, until you figure out what truly works for you. That’s when you find the right balance,” Kohli told Star Sports during an interaction. Kohli emphasised a strict and nutritional diet as key to his fitness transformation, even more than the number of hours he spends daily in the gym. “The biggest challenge I’ve faced with fitness is food. You can push yourself physically, but eating right is a mental game. Your taste buds and cravings can either help or hinder your progress,” he said. Once a proper Delhi boy, who relished his Chole Bhature and other street food delicacies, Kohli has stopped eating food for taste. “(Now) I can eat the same meals three times a day for six months without any issues. Around 90% of my food is steamed or boiled, with just salt, pepper, and lime. I’m not someone who chases taste, I focus on what’s right for my body,” the legend said. “I enjoy salads with a little dressing and pan-grilled dishes with some olive oil. I avoid curries, but I do eat dal, and as a Punjabi, I can’t skip rajma and lobhiya.” Switch To Vegeteranism Back in 2018, Kohli had to opt out of his County Championship stint for Surrey due to a neck injury. While he recovered and dominated the bowling on the Test tour of England, Kohli was keen to figure out what caused him discomfort around the neck region. After approaching the doctors and health experts, the former skipper discovered he had calcium depletion in his bones and experienced high acidity and elevated uric acid levels. It was then that he gave up meat completely and switched to a vegetarian diet. However, in an interview with Curly Tales on YouTube, Kohli clarified that he is not a strict vegan and does consume some dairy products.

Six Arrested As Aston Villa Beat Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-0 During 'High-Risk' Europa League Match

UK police arrested six individuals during a high-risk football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Aston Villa in Birmingham on Thursday. Despite heavy security measures, the event proceeded largely peacefully. Over 700 police officers were deployed across the city in central England as pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel demonstrators held separate protests outside Villa Park stadium before the match began. Last month, Villa announced that Maccabi fans would not be permitted at the UEFA Europa League game following a police risk assessment. This decision drew criticism, including from Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who attempted to reverse the move. However, the Israeli club later stated it would decline tickets for its fans due to safety concerns. Around 200 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered near the stadium’s Trinity Road stand, chanting “Free Palestine” and displaying banners advocating for a boycott of Israel and its exclusion from international football. Meanwhile, a smaller group of pro-Israel protesters stood on the opposite side of the stadium, waving Israeli flags and holding posters with messages such as “Keep anti-Semitism out of football” before being escorted away by police. Maccabi fan Itai Gal expressed disappointment to AFP, stating that their only intention was to celebrate their team’s presence in English football, and lamented the lost opportunity. Birmingham, a city with a significant Muslim population, has witnessed regular pro-Palestinian rallies over the past two years. Police classified Thursday’s fixture as “high risk,” referencing violent clashes and hate crime offences during a Europa League match between Maccabi and Ajax in Amsterdam last November. That incident led to two days of confrontations between locals and Israeli fans in the Dutch city. AFP observed a significant police presence outside Villa Park, with officers wearing protective gear and riot helmets, and police horses deployed. West Midlands Police stated they have experience managing high-profile football matches and demonstrations and had been working closely with various faith and community groups to address their concerns. Signs near the stadium read “No War Games Allowed” and “Give Zionism the Red Card,” while far-right activist Tommy Robinson’s channels made Islamophobic statements about the match and planned protests. One school near the stadium closed early to avoid disruption, with others reportedly considering similar actions. Robert Hussain, a local mosque volunteer, expressed anxiety before the game. West Midlands Police, supported by 25 other forces, reported that those arrested faced charges ranging from racial aggravation to failing to comply with a dispersal order. Villa did not sell tickets for their own fans in the away end of their stadium, leaving that section vacant throughout the match, which the home side won 2-0. Elizabeth, a Villa season ticket holder, expressed understanding of the decision to bar Maccabi fans but felt it was unfortunate, emphasizing that football should be inclusive regardless of faith or race. Maccabi Tel Aviv’s decision to decline tickets followed police cancellation of an Israeli Premier League match against city rivals Hapoel due to “riots” between rival fans. The team asserted that its supporters were not involved in the unrest and condemned the “hate-filled falsehoods” creating a “toxic atmosphere.” Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for the Birmingham area covering Villa Park, noted the local concentration of Muslims and their concerns about racism. Aston Villa requested that supporters refrain from displaying political symbols during the match, adhering to UEFA’s protocols. With AFP Inputs

Can Smog Damage Your Gut? Experts Explain How Pollution Impacts Digestion And Immunity

Can Smog Damage Your Gut? Experts Explain How Pollution Impacts Digestion And Immunity

When we think of air pollution, the first organs that come to mind are our lungs and heart. But experts are now uncovering a surprising truth. The air we breathe may be silently harming our gut, too. As pollution levels continue to rise across major Indian cities, especially in regions like Delhi NCR, their effects are no longer confined to respiratory distress or fatigue. Airborne toxins are entering the bloodstream and interfering with gut bacteria, inflammation, and immunity by turning gut health into the newest casualty of poor air quality. Pollution Doesn’t Stop At The Lungs Dr. Swetabh Purohit, Senior Consultant – Pulmonology at Paras Health, Udaipur, explains that the impact of air pollution extends far beyond what most people imagine. “The fine particulate matter and toxic gases we inhale do not just stay in the lungs; they can enter the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation that extends to the gut,” he says. This inflammation disrupts the gut microbiome, reduces beneficial bacteria, and weakens the intestinal barrier – a cascade that can cause acidity, bloating, irritable bowel symptoms, and even poor immunity. Similarly, Dr. Neerja Hajela, Head of Science and Regulatory Affairs at Yakult Danone India Pvt. Ltd., adds that air pollution is “a hidden yet strong risk, impacting not only the lungs but also gut health.” According to her, chronic exposure to environmental toxins can disrupt the delicate balance of gut microbiota, increasing inflammation and decreasing immune function. She emphasises that supporting the gut through diet and probiotics can help counter these effects. Nutritionist Sonia Mehta, Founder of EverBloom, agrees. “Airborne pollutants also enter our bodies and affect the digestive tract due to inhalation and swallowing. They disturb the intestinal microbiota, triggering low-grade inflammation, sluggish motility, fatigue, and even mood swings,” she says. Building A Pollution-Resilient Gut So how can you protect your gut when the air outside isn’t on your side? Experts unanimously stress the importance of diet, hydration, and mindful lifestyle habits. Dr. Hajela suggests incorporating probiotics into your daily routine: “science-backed probiotic drinks like Yakult can help maintain a healthier gut by replenishing beneficial bacteria and supporting gut barrier function.” Sonia recommends creating a microbiome-friendly plate filled with fibre-rich vegetables such as spinach, carrot, and bottle gourd, alongside whole grains like jowar, oats, and brown rice. “Include fermented foods like curd, buttermilk, idli, dosa, kimchi, or traditional pickles for live cultures,” she adds. Her tip: balance these with prebiotic sources like bananas, garlic, onion, and flaxseed, while staying well-hydrated with plain water and herbal teas. Meanwhile, Dr. Purohit advises regular exercise, adequate hydration, and avoiding heavily processed or high-fat foods, which can worsen inflammation. “Maintaining gut resilience is vital, especially in areas where air quality dips to hazardous levels,” he says. The connection between air pollution and gut health is real and increasingly relevant. While you can’t always control the air you breathe, you can strengthen your gut’s defences from within. Eating smart, staying hydrated, moving regularly, and including probiotics and prebiotics in your diet can go a long way. Protecting your gut, after all, is not just about better digestion; it’s a crucial step in safeguarding your overall health in a polluted world.

'Vande Mataram' remains proclamation of nation's unity, says President Murmu

New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) ‘Vande Mataram’, the national song of India, continues to symbolise the emotional consciousness and unity of the country’s people, President Droupadi Murmu said on Friday. On the occasion of the song’s 150th anniversary, “let all of us countrymen take this firm resolve that we will keep Mother India endowed with ‘Sujala’ (good water), ‘sufala’ (good or fine fruit) and ‘sukhda’ (bestowed with happiness), in accordance with the spirit of this song. Vande Mataram,” Murmu said in a post on X in Hindi. The president also recounted how, in the nineteenth century, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay composed Vande Mataram against the backdrop of the Sannyasi rebellion against British rule, which, since the 1905 Swadeshi movement, has become a source of inspiration. “Since then, this song of reverence to Mother India has remained a proclamation of the emotional consciousness and unity of our countrymen, and it will continue to be so,” the president said, adding that after independence, the country reverently adopted it as the national song. November 7, this year, marks the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, which translates to “Mother, I bow to thee.” This composition, an enduring anthem, has inspired countless generations of freedom fighters and nation builders, standing as a lasting emblem of India’s national identity and collective spirit, according to an official statement. Vande Mataram was first published in the literary journal Bangadarshan on November 7, 1875, and was set to music by Rabindranath Tagore. PTI AKV MPL MPL

US Comm Secy cites India while defending Trump's tariff powers amid SC case

Washington, Nov 7 (PTI) US President Donald Trump used tariffs as a diplomatic tool to “buy justice” and had urged India to “stop buying oil” from Russia to help end the Ukraine war, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has claimed. Lutnick made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, defending Trump’s use of tariff powers as the Supreme Court heard arguments on its legality. The court is examining whether it was lawful for Trump to use emergency powers under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping reciprocal tariffs on several countries, including India. “The president is using these taxes to buy justice; he is using the tariffs to end the war in Russia and Ukraine, where he has told India ‘stop buying oil,'” Lutnick said, adding that restricting these powers (IEEPA) would weaken Trump’s ability to make “the world and the US a safer place.” Expressing confidence, he said that the US President will win the case because “these powers protect America”. Trump imposed 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India and an additional 25 per cent levies for Delhi’s purchases of Russian oil, bringing the total duties imposed on India to 50 per cent. India had described the US action as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable”. In September, the Trump administration told the US Supreme Court that it imposed tariffs against India for purchasing Russian energy products “to deal with a preexisting national emergency regarding Russia’s war in Ukraine” and as a “crucial aspect” of the President’s push for peace in the country. Trump has also been claiming for the past few days that Delhi has assured him that it will significantly reduce its oil imports from Russia. However, India has been maintaining that its energy policy is guided by its own national interest, especially ensuring affordable and secure supplies for its consumers. PTI GRS GRS GRS
