A Pininfarina-designed Maserati saloon with a Ferrari V8 for how much? Anyone ready to take the plunge? Maserati has decided to celebrate the Quattroporte’s 60th birthday with the series of archive images you can see up above. Usually we wouldn’t bother to bring this to your attention, but the four-door Maser is really very cool. In fact, the old shots inspired us to dig around the classifieds, and it turns out fifth generation Quattroportes are worryingly affordable. You can pick up early 2004 examples for under £6,000, which is still a fair chunk of cash, but for that you get properly menacing Pininfarina design and a Ferrari-derived 4.2-litre V8. Ooft. Just don’t mention the running costs. Want to splash out a little more? This glorious Deep Burgundy Metallic example with a cream leather interior and a walnut dash is up for £9,995 and only has 66,000 miles on the clock. If you get lucky and avoid the really big maintenance bills, that could be a heck of a used buy. “It has become the choice of our most select clientele, as well as the world of entertainment and for the international establishment,” says Maserati boss Davide Grasso about the Quattroporte. “It’s a source of pride for us and an acknowledgement of the distinctively Italian character that Maserati has always aimed to export around the world with its creations. Now as before, Quattroporte remains our flagship, synonymous with a unique luxury.” How could you not want to become a part of that select group? Maserati says it has sold over 75,000 examples of the Quattroporte across its six generations, and it’s still the coolest car to wear the trident badge. Anyone got any horror stories to help put us off? Because at the moment we’re dangerously close to adding a 20-year-old Italian saloon to the TG fleet. Link

The lawsuit alleges Trump violated his oath of office in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, leading up to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. A state court in Denver began hearing arguments Monday in a lawsuit seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from Colorado’s 2024 ballot over his role in the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021. Second Judicial District Judge Sarah Wallace last week rejected Trump’s latest attempt to toss out the lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of six voters in Denver district court last month. The lawsuit argues Trump should be prohibited from running in future elections, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which states no person may hold office who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” after having sworn under oath to support and defend the Constitution. The suit alleges Trump violated his oath of office in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, and several law firms filed the suit on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated voters. Eric Olson, a lawyer for CREW, began the hearing by describing Trump’s conduct in the days leading up to Jan. 6, including a tweet in December 2020 telling his supporters that there would be a rally in Washington, D.C. Olson said Trump had repeatedly talked about Jan. 6 and argued that he riled up his supporters by encouraging them to go to Washington that day while pushing false claims of election fraud. Olson played a video clip of Trump’s speech on the Ellipse the morning of Jan. 6, which included a part when he said, “Let’s walk down to the Capitol.” He argued that Trump “knew the power of his words” and that his speech agitated his supporters. Olson also pointed to a tweet Trump posted shortly after his speech on the Ellipse that attacked then-Vice President Mike Pence for what he described as not having “the courage to do what he should have done.” He then played a clip showing the mob of Trump supporters outside the Capitol shouting: “Hang Mike Pence.” “We are here because Trump claims, after all that, that he has the right to be president again,” Olson said. “But our Constitution, the shared charter of our nation, says he cannot do so.” Scott Gessler, a lawyer for Trump, decried the lawsuit as “antidemocratic” and characterized Monday's hearing as "politicized" in opening arguments. He insisted that Trump used the word “peace” several times in his speech on the Ellipse on Jan. 6 and in tweets that day. He argued that the lawsuit is an effort to get the court to endorse the report by the House Jan. 6 committee, which he described as a “one-sided poisonous report.” A lawsuit seeks to remove Donald Trump from the ballot in Colorado. Gessler said the defense will present evidence showing Trump took precautions on Jan. 6 to avoid violence and that the rally outside the Capitol was “peaceful.” “We should allow only real evidence that’s subject to cross-examination” rather than the Jan. 6 report, “with little to no credibility,” Gessler said. Grant Sullivan, a lawyer representing Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state, Jena Griswold, said she won’t offer any evidence and doesn’t have any direct evidence of whether Trump engaged in insurrection. However, Griswold will make her deputy elections director available to testify about how her office administers state election law, Sullivan said. Washington Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges took the stand to testify about his harrowing experience as the Capitol attack unfolded. He recalled seeing Capitol rioters wearing tactical gear, which he said made him “very uncomfortable.” He testified that he sustained multiple injuries as rioters stormed the Capitol, including bruises on his body, a large contusion on his head, lacerations on his face and bleeding in his mouth, and he said a rioter tried to gouge his eye out. He said he remembers rioters chanting that the “election was stolen” and to “fight for Trump” as they scolded law enforcement for being “on the wrong side of history.” A former Capitol Police officer, Winston Pingeon, also described being attacked at various locations around the Capitol trying to hold back the mob. Trump's attorney asked whether he could identify how many of those people had attended Trump's speech on the Ellipse, and he acknowledged he couldn’t. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., testified remotely that Trump made it clear before the 2020 election that he wouldn’t accept the results if he lost and that Trump proceeded to ramp up his rhetoric after lawsuits challenging the results were dismissed. Swalwell recalled lawmakers’ becoming increasingly concerned when Trump said “we’re going to the Capitol” in his speech on the Ellipse. He went on to recall his and other lawmakers’ distressing experiences in the chamber as rioters breached the Capitol. On cross-examination, Swalwell was asked whether it was common for politicians to call on supporters to "fight" for causes while not intending for them to carry out acts of physical violence. "Yes," Swalwell answered. In her ruling last week, Wallace dismissed Trump’s argument that Congress, not the courts, has the authority to handle questions about ballot eligibility. She also rejected Trump’s claim that state election officials don’t have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Wallace noted that the clause “clearly gives Congress the ability to remove a constitutional disability should a person be disqualified” under the provision but that it “says nothing regarding what government body would adjudicate or determine such disability in the first instance.” “The Court notes, however, it would be strange for Congress to be the only entity that is empowered to determine the disability and then also the entity that is empowered to remove it,” Wallace wrote. Wallace said that “states can, and have, applied Section 3 pursuant to state statutes without federal enforcement legislation.” Chief U.S. District Judge Philip A. Brimmer of Colorado dismissed Trump’s request to move the Colorado ballot case to federal court last month. In a four-page order, Brimmer, a George W. Bush nominee, said Trump didn’t properly serve Griswold or obtain her approval to move the case to federal court, making Trump’s bid to move the case “defective.” Trump also faces other challenges to his eligibility to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot. Arguments before the Minnesota Supreme Court in a lawsuit to boot him off the ballot in the state, which also cites the little-known provision in the 14th Amendment, are set to begin Thursday. Similar legal challenges are underway in New Hampshire, Arizona and Michigan. Trump, who continues to falsely insist that he won the 2020 election, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in his efforts to overturn the results, as well as his role in the Capitol attack. He called the lawsuit in Colorado to remove him from the ballot under the 14th Amendment “nonsense” and “election interference.” Link

Gaza City's southern Tal al-Hawa district has come under intense Israeli bombardment in recent days Israeli forces have pushed deeper into the northern Gaza Strip, with tanks briefly cutting an evacuation route to the south, Palestinian witnesses say. One tank was filmed on Salah al-Din Road, sparking speculation it could be part of an advance on Gaza City. A video showed a car turning around after approaching the tank, which seems to open fire and destroy it. Later, Israel's military said a soldier being held hostage by Hamas was rescued in an overnight ground operation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the freeing of Pte Ori Megidish, who was said to be "doing well", as an "exciting achievement" that expressed Israel's commitment to release the more than 230 other hostages. He also condemned as "cruel psychological propaganda" a video released by Hamas that showed another three Israeli women in captivity in Gaza demanding he agree to a prisoner exchange. The hostages - who include dozens of children and elderly people, as well as soldiers - were taken by Hamas gunmen during an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on 7 October in which 1,400 people were killed. Over the weekend, Israel began what Mr Netanyahu called the "second stage" of a war intended to destroy Hamas, with ground forces expanding their operations inside Gaza after three weeks of intense bombardment. Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 8,300 people have been killed in the territory since then, while supplies of food, water, fuel and medicines for its 2.2 million residents are dangerously low. Mr Netanyahu has also rejected calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying that to pause military operations would be "to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism". "Today we draw a line between the forces of civilisation and the forces of barbarism," he told a news conference on Monday. "Israel will stand against the forces of barbarism until victory. I hope and pray that civilised nations everywhere will back this fight." Aid agencies have constantly called for a pause in the fighting in order to send aid to the besieged territory. The video showing the tank on Salah al-Din Road was posted by photojournalist Yousef Basam, who drove northwards in a car on Monday morning. Basam's car is seen coming to a stop just after an intersection known as Netzarim Junction, which is 2.8km (1.75 miles) from the perimeter fence with Israel and about 3km south of Gaza City. He then zooms in on a second vehicle that is slowing down in front of what looks like piles of earth in the middle of the road and a stationary tank. The tank starts to move while the second vehicle carries out a three-point turn. A flash is then seen coming from the direction of the tank just before the car is hit by an explosion. "He's gone, the whole family is gone," shouts one of the men inside Basam's car, as it speeds away and returns southwards. A photographer who was in the area following an air strike told the BBC: "Suddenly I looked back and I saw Israeli tanks." He took a couple of pictures and then fled. The Israeli military released video footage on Monday that it said showed troops operating within the Gaza Strip The Israeli military's chief spokesperson was asked specifically about the tanks at a briefing and declined to give more information. "We have expanded our operations, involving armour, infantry, and offensive actions within the Gaza Strip. This is done to achieve the two primary objectives of the war, which are countering Hamas and securing the return of the kidnapped individuals," Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said. "While I cannot provide specific details here, I can assure you that the security of our forces remains our top priority." Earlier, the Israeli military said tanks and troops had continued to expand their ground operations inside Gaza overnight, killing dozens of Hamas fighters barricaded in buildings and tunnels. Air and artillery strikes had hit another 600 "terror targets" over the previous 24 hours, including weapons depots, anti-tank missile launching positions and hideouts, it added. The BBC's Rushdi Abu Alouf, who is in the southern city of Khan Younis, said the incident on Salah al-Din Road was significant because Gaza was effectively cut in two for a period. He also said there had been fewer air strikes in the south in the past day, with Israeli forces appearing to be focusing on the advance into northern areas. About 600,000 people are still believed to in the north despite the Israeli military ordering them to evacuate and head south of the Wadi Gaza river for their own safety. The UN has said 10 hospitals in northern Gaza have received evacuation orders despite sheltering thousands of patients and 117,000 displaced people. It has warned that the evacuation of hospitals is impossible without endangering patients' lives. About 400 patients and 14,000 displaced people are believed to be inside Al-Quds Hospital, in Gaza City's southern Tal al-Hawa district, where witnesses say the Israeli bombardment in recent days has been intense. Fresh strikes were reported near Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City on Monday, where staff have said it is impossible to carry out an Israeli order to evacuate thousands of displaced civilians sheltering there as well as hundreds of patients, some of them on life support. The Palestinian Red Crescent posted a video that it said showed further air strikes near the hospital on Monday morning. The director of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Tal al-Hawa also said it had been damaged by an Israeli strike in the vicinity on Sunday night. There is similarly concern for patients and staff at Gaza City's biggest hospital - Al Shifa - where the situation has been described as "catastrophic" by its chief of surgery. Dr Marwan Abusada said in a voice note to the BBC on Sunday afternoon that 55,000 displaced people were "occupying each square metre" of Al-Shifa and that it was "overwhelmed" by patients. About 100 patients were moved to other hospitals over the weekend, he said. "But still we are receiving many, many, many cases. Each half an hour, we receive a huge number of injured people." The Israeli military has accused Hamas of deliberately basing itself near, or even within, public buildings like hospitals. Hamas has rejected that allegation. The director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) in Gaza, Thomas White, told the BBC that civilians sheltering inside hospitals and UN facilities like schools must be protected by all parties under international law. "The reality is that many people in the north can't move because they physically do not have the transportation, they don't have the means," he said. He also warned that the looting of flour, hygiene supplies and other items from Unrwa warehouses in central and southern Gaza on Sunday was an indication not only of people's desperation at going without food and safe drinking water, but also of how "the social fabric of Gaza is starting to break". Mr White also said the arrival of another 33 aid lorries from Egypt on Sunday, carrying food, water and medical supplies, was "not going to meet the requirements of Gaza". "We need hundreds of trucks moving into Gaza every day," he added. "But what we are very concerned about now is that the public sector and the private sector will collapse." Link

Nissan product chief’s ‘dream plan’ is to have three sportscars in the line-up... “I think car manufacturers – in general – have forgotten about the passion for cars,” Nissan’s Ivan Espinosa tells TopGear.com. “It depends on the country, but you can see that young customers are less and less attracted to cars.” The personable senior vice president of global product planning – he’s basically in charge of Nissan’s future road car line-up – reckons this lack of enthusiasm from The Kids is because nobody is offering anything able to spark that passion. And he has a plan – at least a dream plan – for Nissan’s future that includes a new entrant lower down the performance car food chain. When asked whether the company could offer a new hot hatch – like the old hot Pulsars – he told TG: “I’m not sure about a hot hatch, but maybe a smaller electric sportscar you could think of. Something smaller, a bit more affordable. Definitely.” He notes how Nissan has always had a three-tiered performance car offering, and it’s something he wants to work towards. “Depending on which point in time you take, we’ve always had the GT-R, we’ve always had Z, and we’ve always had an entry [level car] – either a hot hatch like Pulsar, or something else down there [at that price and performance point]. “And this today is something that we kind of miss. This [price and performance] point.” Indeed, the UK is missing out on the R35 GT-R and the new Z, although both are available elsewhere around the world. That latter car – the new Z – is apparently doing very well in terms of sales and customer satisfaction, Espinosa said. “Now how do we move into the future: ideally – this is my product planner dream – to keep these three elements as our sportscar offering. A top-of-the-line GT-R with its Nismo variant, a Z with its Nismo variant, and an entry-level car with its Nismo variant as well. This could be a kind of ideal sportscar offering. “I’m not sure it’s a hatch, but something that’s a bit more of an entry point for younger buyers – an early 20s kind of customer that’s passionate about cars.” This new entry-level sportscar will not only need to be “exciting and engaging to drive”, but also allow its young clientele the ability to connect – in the digital space via the car – to their friends and the community as a whole. “This is one of the things that can make the flame come back again,” he added.

The comments were Biden’s first public remarks on gun violence following the deadly shootings this week in Lewiston, Maine. President Joe Biden. President Joe Biden on Friday night harshly criticized the use of high capacity assault weapons in his first public remarks on gun violence following this week's shooting in Maine that left at least 18 people dead. Speaking at a campaign fundraiser in Washington, D.C., Biden asked: “Who the hell needs an assault weapon that can hold, in some cases, up to 100 rounds?” Without referring to the Lewiston shootings directly, Biden said it was “outrageous what’s happening.” Follow along for live coverage Police named Robert Card, 40, a firearms instructor and an Army reservist, as a suspect in the Lewiston shootings. He was found dead Friday, four senior law enforcement officials told NBC News. The assault rifle-style weapon he is alleged to have used was purchased legally this year, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter said. Biden has repeatedly called on Congress to send legislation to his desk banning assault weapons. In a statement Thursday, Biden urged congressional Republicans to work with Democrats to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, to enact universal background checks, to require safe storage of guns, and to suspend gun manufacturers’ “immunity from liability.” “This is the very least we owe every American who will now bear the scars — physical and mental — of this latest attack,” Biden said in the statement. Getting an assault weapons ban bill through the current Congress is highly unlikely. In his first televised interview as the new House speaker, Rep. Mike Johnson brushed off calls for an assault weapons ban. The Louisiana Republican on Thursday told Fox News' Sean Hannity: “The problem is the human heart. It's not guns, it's not the weapons." White House spokesperson Andrew Bates responded in a statement saying Republicans have "spent decades" siding with gun industry lobbyists and "bending over backwards to ensure weapons of war remain on our streets and in dangerous hands." Congress last passed a federal ban on assault weapons in 1994; it expired a decade later when Republicans controlled both chambers. The Democratic-led House last year passed an assault weapons ban, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has not brought a similar bill to the floor for a vote. The House is now controlled by Republicans. Link

The Coast Guard shared an image of the sailors rescuing the missing fisherman A fisherman who had been missing for nearly two weeks has been found alive floating in a life raft about 70 miles (110km) off the west coast of the US. Good Samaritans found the fisherman on Thursday, the US Coast Guard Pacific Northwest said in a statement one day after they had suspended their search. The Canadian rescuers who found him say he caught and ate a salmon to survive. The man, who was not identified, had left Gray Harbor in Washington state on 12 October on Evening, a 43-foot ship. Officials did not name the rescuers or how they found him, but King-TV in Seattle identified them as Ryan Planes and his uncle John from Sooke, a town on Vancouver island in British Columbia. "I saw what looked like a life raft in the distance and ran inside and put the binoculars on him and then he shot off a flare," Ryan told the network. "We pulled him on board. He gave me a big hug and it was emotional," John continued. He added that the man told him had been alone on the raft for 13 days, and that he caught a salmon after running out of food. "We made him breakfast. He drank three bottles of water," he continued. "He was pretty hungry, poor guy." The man appears to be in stable condition, officials say, and was transported back to shore by the Canadian Coast Guard and another Canadian rescue agency. Officials shared an image of the missing ship, a 43-foot fishing boat called Evening According to King-TV, the man was taken to a hospital in Tofino, British Columbia, for further treatment. The man and another sailor on board the Evening were meant to return on 15 October, officials say. On Wednesday, the Coast Guard said it was suspending their search pending the development of new information. The decision was made after crews searched more than 14,000 sq miles for over eight hours. Another sailor that departed with him has not been found, and the Coast Guard says the incident "remains under investigation". It is unclear whether they plan to resume the search. Link
