Manchester City win their second consecutive Premier League title, their fourth in 5 years, and their sixth overall on the final day of the season following a 3–2 comeback against Aston Villa.
Manchester City entered the Football League in 1892, and won their first major honour with the FA Cup in 1904. The club had its first major period of success in the late 1960s, and early 1970s winning the League, European Cup Winners Cup, FA Cup and League Cup under the management of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison. After losing the 1981 FA Cup Final, the club went through a period of decline, culminating in relegation to the third tier of English football for the only time in its history in 1998. They since regained promotion to the top tier in 2001–02 and have remained a fixture in the Premier League since 2002–03.
Manchester City win the league with 93 points, one point more than Liverpool. This is the first time since 2019 that the title has been decided on the final day of the season.

Jewish TV Channel is proud to promote an attractive event in Jerusalem that brings together a talented cast under the directorship and production of local theater management.
Encore Educational Theatre Company is scheduled to present Gilbert & Sullivan’s immortal comic opera, HMS Pinafore, on 21-30 June 2022 at the auditorium of the Masorti High School, 8 Beitar Street, Talpiot, Jerusalem. The production is being staged by Robert Binder and Aviella Trapido, with musical direction by Paul Salter and choreography by Batya Feder. The set of the saucy ship, docked in Portsmouth harbor, has been designed by Roxane Goodkin-Levy and constructed by Hank Rothschild.
The energetic cast of close to 40 consists of participants ages 8-80, including crew members coming from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh, Neve Daniel, and elsewhere. They have been rehearsing the opera, originally produced in London in 1878, since early March.
The plot is a satire of mid-Victorian nautical melodramas, in which class conflicts, political appointees, love unrequited, and operatic styles are sent up in a most ingenious way, accompanied by irresistible melodies that have proven hummable and memorable for well over a century. The love-torn romance between a humble sailor and his proud Captain’s daughter is finally resolved when a mystery of birth is discovered and all ends happily.
Encore has been producing the most professional shows in the community theatre sphere for over 16 years, including such hits as Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, The King and I, and The Pirates of Penzance in recent years. They have also presented original works on Israeli themes written by Binder and Salter, such as The Keys to the City (describing the “surrender” of Jerusalem by the Ottoman Turks to the British in 1917) and Intrepid: The Saga of the NILI Spy Ring headed by Sarah Aronson. HMS Pinafore was last presented by Encore 11 years ago. This revival features innovative dancing, a full orchestra, and first-rate musical standards. The show is appropriate for family audiences.
JTVC urges all those interested to make early bookings to avoid disappointment.
Tickets are currently available on the company’s website, www.Encore-etc.com
The Ukraine war moved closer to Polish border. Russia launches missile strikes from the Black Sea on “military infrastructure” in Yavoriv Raion, Lviv Oblast, located near Ukraine‘s western border with Poland. The target was “completely destroyed”, according to the region’s governor.
The Yavoriv military base is a military training facility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city of Yavoriv in western Ukraine, some 10 km from the border with Poland and 30 kilometers northwest of Lviv in Yavoriv district. The facility houses an International Center for Peacekeeping and Security within the framework of the Ukraine–NATO Partnership for Peace program and the National Military Academy Hetman Petro Sahaidatschnyj. The base covers an area of around 390 sq km (151 sq miles) and can accommodate up to 1,790 people.
The Yavoriv military training area was founded in 1940. A former military training area of the Polish army was used, which had existed here before the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland in 1939 and the Soviet annexation of western Ukraine. On February 13, 1940, the USSR passed a resolution on the evacuation of 30 villages, the area of which was needed for the expansion of the square.
Food prices worldwide, partially due to the Ukraine war, have wrecked havoc on many nations having to deal with internal strife. Iran is no different, except for its governments’ determination to focus more on its military prowess rather than the plight of its increasingly poverty stricken and hungry people. And the present American government appears to be more focused on assisting this rogue regime rather than its beleaguered citizens.
Riots have been reported across Iran in protest of sky rocketing food prices. In reply, the Iranian government is shutting down internet access in what appears to be the normal response in preparation for intensive crack downs on its people. This move comes amidst refreshed attempts by Biden to reach a deal with Iran over its nuclear policy.
