Priority streetcar lanes are about to be installed along a section of Bathurst Street to speed up transit service ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup; a man is fighting for his life after being hit by a pickup truck near Bathurst Street and St. Clair Avenue West; and, the Ford government prepares to release the province's fall economic statement.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Sir Gareth Southgate, a renowned figure in English football and a symbol of leadership both on and off the pitch. Gareth is best known for his leadership as manager of the England men's national football team from 2016 to 2024. Under his guidance, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and the finals of UEFA's European Championships in 2020 and 2024. His leadership was marked by his ability to reconnect the team with its fans, instil a sense of pride in representing England, and foster a culture of integrity and respect. Before transitioning to management, Gareth had a distinguished playing career, making over 500 league appearances for clubs like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Middlesbrough. He captained both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, leading them to League Cup wins and a UEFA Cup final. His leadership as a player was rooted in the values of discipline, hard work, and mutual respect for all members of the team. Gareth's managerial journey began at Middlesbrough before he took charge of the England Under-21s, ultimately stepping into the senior England manager role. He reflects on his early experiences and the leadership lessons learned from those around him, including his youth coach at Crystal Palace, who instilled the importance of discipline and challenge. Gareth also highlights the impact of his time at Aston Villa, where he learned valuable leadership lessons from senior players, who demonstrated generosity and selflessness despite being in competition for a starting role. Throughout the podcast, Gareth talks about the importance of leadership values such as integrity, respect, and treating everyone equally, regardless of their role in the team. He believes in the power of empathy and emotional intelligence, emphasising that being a good leader is not just about making decisions but about understanding the needs and perspectives of those you lead. Gareth also shares how he learned to delegate more effectively as he progressed in his leadership career, recognising that trust in others is essential for a successful team dynamic. He also reflects on the generational challenges facing young leaders today, particularly in terms of social skills like making eye contact and saying good morning. Gareth stresses the importance of empathy and creating an environment where people feel psychologically safe enough to speak up and offer their views. He acknowledges that leadership is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, always striving to improve and adapt to new challenges. In addition to his football career, Gareth is passionate about youth development and resilience. He's an ambassador for the Prince's Trust and a patron of Help for Heroes, working to support young people and veterans. He has also written books, including We Only Do Positive for youth football and Anything is Possible, a motivational guide for young people. Gareth's new book, Dear England: Lessons in Leadership, is set to delve deeper into his leadership journey and the lessons he's learned from his time managing England. This book promises to provide insight into his approach to leadership, the challenges he faced, and how he navigated them to build a winning team. Gareth hopes to inspire readers by sharing the leadership principles that have guided him throughout his career, aiming to encourage the next generation of leaders to trust themselves, embrace failure, and always strive for improvement.

As North America prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, US soccer teams and executives on all levels are ready to take advantage of the moment. In this episode, TBBJ Editor Alexis Muellner calls on United Soccer League President and Chief Soccer Officer Paul McDonough for an update on his league's efforts, and what differentiates the USL from other soccer leagues across the country.

Amid deafening cheers from more than 62,000 fans at Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, the final whistle blew on the inaugural season of China's Su Super League, capping an amateur league that has captivated the nation's grassroots sports scene.在南京奥林匹克体育中心6.2万余名球迷震耳欲聋的欢呼声中，中国苏超联赛首个赛季终场哨声吹响。这场牵动全国草根体育界目光的业余联赛，就此落下帷幕。In a nerve-wracking penalty shootout that gripped the entire stadium, underdog Taizhou edged Nantong 4-3, handing the previously undefeated team its first and most painful loss of the season.决赛的点球大战扣人心弦，全场观众屏息关注。实力不被看好的泰州队以4:3的比分险胜南通队，给了此前保持不败的南通队本赛季首场、也是最惨痛的一场失利。"This is the pure beauty of football - raw, real and absolutely thrilling," said Wang Yong, a Taizhou supporter who traveled hours to witness the spectacle.“这就是足球最纯粹的魅力——原始、真实，且令人心潮澎湃。”为见证这场赛事专程驱车数小时赶来的泰州队球迷王永（音译）说道。Nantong launched relentless attacks in the first half, but Taizhou's defense held firm through 90 minutes of pressure, forcing the match into a shootout.上半场，南通队发起猛烈进攻，但泰州队的防守在90分钟的高压下始终坚不可摧，最终将比赛拖入点球大战。As confetti rained down, Taizhou lifted the golden trophy, a cup reminiscent of the FIFA World Cup's iconic design, symbolizing how this province of over 80 million residents has caught the fever ahead of next year's global tournament.当彩屑漫天飘落，泰州队举起了那座设计酷似国际足联世界杯冠军奖杯的金色奖杯。这一画面，也象征着这个拥有8000多万人口的省份，在明年世界杯到来之前，已然掀起了一股足球热潮。Drawing playful inspiration from both the English Premier League and the Chinese Super League, the Su Super League has emerged as a local phenomenon -- packed with derby rivalries, drama and roaring stadiums. Tickets for the final had a success rate of just 1.2 percent, while the record crowd of 62,329 set a new benchmark for amateur football events in China.苏超联赛巧妙借鉴了英格兰超级联赛与中国足球协会超级联赛的运营思路，如今已成为地方热门赛事——赛场内外既有同城德比的激烈对抗，也不乏戏剧性瞬间，座无虚席的体育场内欢呼声此起彼伏。本次决赛门票中签率仅1.2%，而62329人的观赛人数纪录，更创下了中国业余足球赛事的新标杆。Over the course of the season, total live attendance surpassed 2.43 million, averaging more than 28,000 spectators per game -- figures once thought impossible for an amateur competition.本赛季期间，联赛现场观赛总人数突破243万，场均观赛人数超2.8万——这样的数字，曾被认为是业余赛事难以企及的高度。The league's appeal lies in its roots. More than 500 players, from high school students and teachers to office workers and IT engineers, juggle day jobs with nighttime training. Their dedication has struck a chord with residents across Jiangsu, turning football into a shared passion.苏超联赛的吸引力源于其“草根本色”。联赛500余名球员涵盖多个群体，既有高中生、教师，也有上班族和IT工程师。他们白天忙于本职工作，夜晚投身训练，这份执着与热爱引发了江苏民众的强烈共鸣，让足球成为大家共同的热爱。The impact extends beyond the pitch. According to the provincial department of commerce, since the Su Super League's kickoff in May, Jiangsu's major retailers and supermarkets reported 11.64 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) in total sales during match periods, up 34.7 percent year on year, while foot traffic rose 31.2 percent.联赛的影响力早已超越球场。据江苏省商务厅数据，自今年5月苏超联赛开赛以来，赛事期间全省主要零售企业及超市销售额达116.4亿元（约合16亿美元），同比增长34.7%；客流量同比增长31.2%。Tourism also flourished. By the day of the final, host cities welcomed about 24 million visitors to key attractions on match days, a 17.7 percent increase from a year earlier. Out-of-town tourists spent 13.96 billion yuan on cultural and leisure activities via UnionPay transactions, up 26.5 percent year on year.旅游业也随之焕发活力。截至决赛当日，赛事主办城市在比赛日期间接待重点景区游客约2400万人次，同比增长17.7%；外地游客通过银联消费的文化休闲支出达139.6亿元，同比增长26.5%。Encouraged by the league's success, Jiangsu sports authorities announced plans to start next season earlier, align it with major holidays and add rules to promote youth participation, aiming to nurture grassroots talent that could one day fuel China's football ambitions.受联赛成功的鼓舞，江苏省体育部门宣布，下赛季将提前开赛，赛程安排将与重要节假日相衔接，并新增规则鼓励青少年参与，旨在培养草根足球人才，为中国足球的未来发展注入动力。inaugural/ɪˈnɔːɡjərəl/adj.开幕的；创始的；首次的underdog/ˈʌndədɒɡ/n.处于劣势的人juggle /ˈdʒʌɡl/v.尽力同时应对

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the significant impact of Hurricane Melissa, which has made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 storm and is progressing northeastward towards the Bahamas. We meticulously delineate the potential hazards arising from this weather event, notably the elevated risk of rip currents and rough surf along the southeastern coast of the United States, particularly Florida. Additionally, the episode elaborates on various weather alerts, including a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, as well as a potential severe weather risk in eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia. We also address the imminent arrival of a moderate atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest, which is expected to bring substantial rainfall. Furthermore, we discuss FEMA's recent allocation of over $1 billion in federal funding to enhance safety measures in the host cities for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.Hurricane Melissa has emerged as a formidable force, having made landfall in eastern Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane, with its trajectory now directing it towards the Bahamas. Although the United States currently has no active watches, the ramifications of Hurricane Melissa are being felt along the southeastern coast, particularly in Florida, where the risk of rip currents and rough surf is markedly elevated. The National Weather Service has issued warnings to coastal residents and beachgoers to exercise caution due to these dangerous conditions, emphasizing the importance of heeding safety advisories during such severe weather events.In addition to the impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Weather Prediction Center has highlighted a marginal flash flood risk across the Southern and Central Appalachians, extending into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This is attributed to the influx of rain that is expected to saturate these regions today. Concurrently, the Storm Prediction Center has indicated a marginal severe weather risk for eastern North Carolina and Southeast Virginia, suggesting the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms later in the evening. The confluence of these weather patterns necessitates vigilant monitoring and preparedness among local residents.Furthermore, looking towards the Pacific Northwest, a moderate atmospheric river is anticipated to commence its influence on Friday and Saturday, with the Weather Prediction Center flagging a marginal flood risk for Western Washington. This is in alignment with forecasts from the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes, which anticipates several days of precipitation associated with this atmospheric river event. As federal funding has also been allocated to support the infrastructure for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the coordination between emergency management partners and local authorities has never been more crucial. Maintaining situational awareness and readiness is imperative as we navigate through this dynamic weather landscape.Takeaways:* Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Cuba and poses risks for Florida's coast today, especially due to rip currents.* A marginal flash flood risk has been issued for the Southern and Central Appalachians today, necessitating caution for residents in these regions.* FEMA has announced over $1 billion in federal funding aimed at securing host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.* California is facing red flag warnings due to Santa Ana winds and low humidity, prompting pre-deployment of firefighting resources.* The Pacific Northwest will experience a moderate atmospheric river, leading to potential flooding in Western Washington later this week.* Several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, are under marginal flood risks due to expected heavy rainfall in the upcoming days.Source[NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][CW3E AR Outlook (Oct 28) | https://cw3e.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/28Oct2025_Outlook/28Oct2025_Outlook.pdf][FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/print/txt/node/705701][NWS Los Angeles | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS San Diego | https://www.weather.gov/sgx/][Cal OES | https://news.caloes.ca.gov/governor-newsom-predeploys-firefighting-resources-southern-california-ahead-of-dangerous-fire-weather/][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Key West | https://www.weather.gov/key/][NWS Jacksonville | https://www.weather.gov/jax/][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT3+html/290851.html][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Wilmington | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=34.2026&lon=-77.8815][NWS Topsail Beach hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=NCZ106&lat=34.3696&local_place1=Topsail+Beach+NC&lon=-77.6288&product1=Beach+Hazards+Statement&warncounty=NCC141&warnzone=NCZ106][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][WPC Day 2 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=2&opt=curr][NWS Charleston | https://www.weather.gov/chs/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][SPC Day 1 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=txt&glossary=1&issuedby=DY1&product=SWO&site=JKL&version=1][NWS Wakefield Briefing | https://www.weather.gov/akq/brief][WPC Day 3 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/index.shtml][NWS Seattle AFD | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?format=ci&glossary=1&issuedby=sew&product=afd&site=nws&version=1][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr] This is a public episode.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has been making headlines across multiple fronts this week, showcasing why he remains one of football's most captivating figures at age forty. On October fourteenth, the Portuguese captain delivered a masterclass performance against Hungary in World Cup qualifying, scoring twice to lead Portugal to a comeback victory. After falling behind early, Ronaldo equalized with his typical instinctive finishing before adding a second goal just before halftime to put Portugal ahead two to one. The brace marked his seventh goal in seven appearances for Portugal and his eighth total against Hungary, demonstrating his continued importance to the national team as they edge closer to qualifying for the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup, where he hopes to compete in his sixth tournament.Just four days later on October eighteenth, Ronaldo reached another career milestone when he scored his eight hundredth club goal during Al Nassr's five nil victory over Al Fateh in the Saudi Professional League. The match became memorable not just for the historic goal but for what happened afterward. Popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed, who has been a vocal Ronaldo superfan for years, was invited onto the pitch to celebrate with the team. In a viral moment, Ronaldo personally instructed Speed to beat the victory drum, telling him you want me to do it, to which the Ohio native enthusiastically complied. Ronaldo later acknowledged the encounter on Instagram with a story mentioning IShowSpeed, writing I see you, which sent fans into a frenzy across social media platforms. The two followed each other on Instagram following the celebration.Beyond the pitch, there's speculation that Ronaldo is pushing Al Nassr to sign a Barcelona star next summer, though specific details remain unconfirmed. Additionally, his son Cristiano Ronaldo Junior has been called up to Portugal's under sixteen squad for the first time, marking the highest age category he has represented for his country. The young forward will compete in the Federations Cup in Turkey later this month, fueling speculation about whether father and son might one day play together for Portugal.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

When passion meets purpose, branding magic happens, and Leandro Petersen knows it better than most. As Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer for the Argentine Football Association (AFA), he's helping turn Argentina's fútbol legacy into a global brand phenomenon. In this special bilingual episode, Petersen joins Steve Rosa and Michelle Spriegel to talk about building one of the most recognizable brands in sport — from global partnerships and new markets to the storytelling and strategy that keep Argentina's fútbol heartbeat strong. In Argentina, fútbol more than a sport, it's almost part of their national DNA. And at the center of it all is the Argentine Football Association (AFA), where Petersen leads the charge in transforming that cultural heartbeat into a global business powerhouse. From Lionel Messi's worldwide influence to AFA's expansion across markets like China, India and the U.S., Petersen shares how strategy, storytelling and pure passion are driving Argentina's global rise. The conversation dives into how AFA plans for their new high-performance center in Miami, and what it takes to keep the magic alive both on and off the pitch. Looking ahead, Petersen has his eyes set on FIFA World Cup 2026, which will be hosted across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. With soccer's popularity surging in North America, he sees a massive opportunity to grow AFA's reach during the tournament. From brand activations to fan engagement initiatives, Petersen's focus is on making Argentina not just the team to watch, but the experience to feel throughout the summer of 2026. At its heart, this conversation is about how passion, heritage and purpose can transform a team into a timeless global brand. Argentina's story is proof that when emotion meets execution, the result isn't just victory, it's legacy. Have an idea for a guest? Reach out at brandslam@addventures.com.

“Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is a unique concept. The idea behind the building itself is a dance. It's a living building because it's a dance between spaces. It's a dance between blocks of spaces and shapes and cones, and it's inspiring for the future because the legacy is a huge factor for every project. It's the legacy for young architects and for other architects. It gives them the space to dream more and to feel like it can be possible, and not to be shy. Present more bold ideas that can inspire creativity because you can't see this building and walk in without feeling like you want to be creative as well.”Art museums have long been pillars of culture, but they are now at a critical juncture, navigating a new era defined by artificial intelligence, immersive technology, and the shifting habits of a global audience. The challenge is immense: how do you honor artistic tradition while building a museum for the future? On Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi is answering this question in a dramatic way, with the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. Designed by the visionary architect Frank Gehry, this $1 billion project is more than just a new museum; it's a statement—a new cultural superpower announcing itself on the world stage. It will be the largest contemporary art museum in the world, several times the size of the Guggenheim in New York, and a key part of their constellation of museums that is expected to contribute an estimated $200 million annually to the local economy. In the lead-up to its 2027 opening, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is embracing a new vision: moving from an "exhibition economy" to an "experience economy," where art becomes a conversation, a laboratory for ideas at the intersection of creativity and technology. Amr Hussein is the Digital Media Manager for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and with a background in major sports broadcasting—from the FIFA World Cup to the Olympic Games—he's bringing a unique perspective to digital storytelling in the arts.

“At Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, I work with a very international team—people from all over the world, around 50 nationalities in this museum. I've never worked in such an environment, and it's inspiring. When you talk to someone from a different country, you can't help but be inspired. The most important thing for me is to feel fulfilled, and I find fulfillment in learning something new and being inspired every day. Of course, it doesn't have to be the same for everyone. People can find fulfillment in charity or teaching kids. Everyone chooses what makes them feel fulfilled, as long as it's meaningful.”Art museums have long been pillars of culture, but they are now at a critical juncture, navigating a new era defined by artificial intelligence, immersive technology, and the shifting habits of a global audience.
