Associated PressRooster kills Indian man during banned cockfight
A man was killed by a rooster with a blade tied to its leg during an illegal cockfight in southern India, police said, bringing focus on a practice that continues in some Indian states despite a decades-old ban. The rooster, with a 3-inch knife tied to its leg, fluttered in panic and slashed its owner, 45-year-old Thangulla Satish, in his groin last week, police inspector B. Jeevan said Sunday. According to Jeevan, Satish was injured while he prepared the rooster for a fight.

Scottish Labour leadership hopefuls hit back against Tory claims of being soft on independence ahead of election result
Both Scottish Labour leadership hopefuls have hit back at the Tories for accusing them of being soft on independence as the party prepares to unveil its new leader on Saturday. During a speech announcing the Scottish Conservative Holyrood campaign message on Friday, party leader Douglas Ross accused both Anas Sarwar and Monica Lennon as being “fair weather” unionists and challenged them to rule out working with the SNP. Ms Lennon dismissed the comments as “desperate and attention-seeking nonsense”. “The Tories are experts in dividing our communities and forcing working class people into poverty,” she said. “People in Scotland are tired of the same old arguments from politicians who want to drag us back to 2014 rather than take responsibility for their own government records,” she added. Meanwhile, frontrunner Anas Sarwar accused the Scots Tory leader of engaging in “playground politics” at a time when “people are losing their lives and livelihoods.”

New normal? Banks split over home working
Bankers are used to spending long hours at their desks. Sometimes with a bit of shouting thrown in. But now their employers are wondering if that's all a thing of the past. At least some big banks reckon home working is here to stay. And they're shedding office space fast. HSBC said this week that it would cut its footprint by 40%. Lloyds is getting rid of 20% of its office space, and Standard Chartered a third.Not all their rivals see things the same way. Goldman Sachs boss David Solomon is not a fan of working from home. This week he called it an 'aberration' that his bank would correct as soon as possible. Over at Barclays, chief executive Jes Staley is hedging his bets. Last year he said the days of 7,000 workers trudging to its main London office were coming to an end. But he says he has no plan yet for any major move regarding real estate. Some banks worry that WFH is tough for younger staff. They could miss out on learning from colleagues. Gender equality is a worry too. Union leaders say home-working women have shouldered more childcare duties. Now back-office workers are the least likely to make an office return. Executives say traders will be first back at their desks. Deutsche Bank, for one, says it's been hard to adapt home environments for trading teams. The financial world's deserted offices may soon be getting noisy again.

Lady Gaga poised to hand over $500,000 reward to mystery woman after safe return of Bulldogs
Lady Gaga is poised to hand over a $500,000 reward to a mystery woman who returned her beloved French bulldogs kidnapped in a violent street robbery near her home in Hollywood. Koji and Gustav, thought to be worth up to $10,000 dollars each, were given in at a downtown LAPD Police Station by an unnamed woman late on Friday night. Authorities believe the woman who handed the dogs in was "uninvolved and unassociated" with the attack - but she is still eligible for the "unconditional" $500,000 and is said to be in contact with Gaga’s representatives. “If you bought or found them unknowingly, the reward is the same,” Gaga had said in a post confirming the hefty sum before the dogs were handed back on Friday. The violent abduction on Wednesday saw the singer’s dog-walker and close friend Ryan Fischer shot in the chest. Gaga's third dog named Miss Asia escaped the attack and was later found by police. The singer, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, has kept silent since the dogs were handed into police. But her reward offer has raised eyebrows.
