And of course, that includes the kidney grille… yours from £39k and up This is the all-new, second-generation X2, and like most BMWs these days it wants your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle. Yup, the kidney grille is bigger and bolder than before. Much like the rest of the car: the X2 has grown in every direction, now longer (by 194mm), wider (by 21mm) and taller (up 64mm despite the more coupe-like sloping roofline) than the Mk1. Meanwhile the wheelbase has grown by 22mm, and BMW promises more shoulder and elbow room for all five passengers. You have three powertrain options; two petrol, one electric. The entry car is the sDrive20i powered by a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid engine producing 168bhp. That’s enough for 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds and fuel economy of 47.1mpg, claims BMW. Then there’s the much fruitier M35i xDrive, which gets a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder (and quad exhausts?) capable of 296bhp and 295lb ft. Oh, now the pipes make sense. 0-62mph takes just 5.4 seconds and the top speed is limited to 155mph. M Compound brakes - 385mm up front and 330mm at the rear, with grey callipers - are optional. Both combustion cars get a seven-speed auto. Finally you’ve got the fully electric iX2, which will be built on the same production line in Regensburg. It’s the most powerful (just) at 309bhp on boost and the torquiest at 364lb ft. It’s two tenths slower to 62mph (because of the weight, we speculate) while a 64.8kWh battery returns 266 miles of range. Charging capacity amounts to 11kW AC (22kW is optional) or 130kW DC: the latter will replenish the cells from 10 to 80 per cent in 29 minutes. M Sport spec is standard, and so you get 19-inch wheels, adaptive suspension and a mechanical limited-slip diff, and inside the 10.25-inch instrument cluster and 10.7-inch touchscreen merge to form one big display. It runs BMW’s iDrive and its latest operating system, as well as - you guessed it - Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for the 95 per cent of us who’ll just stick to what we know. Heated sports seats, splashings of Alcantara, a leather steering wheel, sat nav, two-zone automatic climate control, a reversing camera, rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights are thrown in too. As is the way these days, there are many, many active safety systems. The new BMW X2 will make its global debut at the Japan Mobility Show (formerly the Tokyo Motor Show) on 26 October, and the first cars will be delivered in March 2024. Prices start from a not-insignificant £39,365 (almost £6k more than the old car) while the M35i costs an even more not-insignificant £47,395. The iX2 on the other hand is priced from… £56,540. Big money indeed. Link

The president said Monday that 14 Americans had been killed in the Israel-Hamas war and that "it is likely" Americans are among those being held hostage. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden passionately condemned Hamas’ terrorist attacks in remarks Tuesday from the White House, three days after Hamas fighters launched a surprise attack on Israel, prompting an all-out war between the two sides. "In this moment, we must be crystal clear," Biden said. "We stand with Israel. We stand with Israel." In his 10-minute address, Biden voiced revulsion over the "vicious attacks," which he said led to 1,000 Israeli and at least 14 American deaths. "There are moments in this life when pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on the world," Biden said with Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken standing behind him. "The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend." Biden disclosed for the first time that Americans are among those taken hostage by Hamas fighters. He did not specify how many; a White House national security official said Tuesday that 20 Americans are unaccounted-for after the attacks. Biden said he has directed U.S. officials to offer their expertise in assisting Israel's efforts to free the hostages. "As president," he said, "I have no higher priority than the safety of Americans being held hostage around the world." Biden spoke with equal parts rage and resolve as he enumerated Hamas' atrocities in carrying out the attack. "Infants in their mothers' arms, grandparents in wheelchairs, Holocaust survivors abducted and held hostage — hostages who Hamas has now threatened to execute in violation of every code of human morality," he said. "It's abhorrent." Biden spoke after a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An open question is whether Biden will let Israel conduct the war as it deems necessary or urge restraint if civilian casualties in Gaza pile up. But he did not clarify whether Israel should observe any limits in rooting out Hamas fighters; he took no questions after he finished speaking. Biden is expected to face competing pressures within and outside the Democratic Party that could make it more difficult to keep his pledge to provide support for Israel’s plans to defend the country. Biden also made a passing reference to the dysfunction in Washington: The House has no speaker because of infighting among the majority Republican Party. When Congress returns to work, he said, he will ask members to take "urgent actions to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners." "This is not about party or politics," he said. "It's about the security of our world." Biden expressed sympathy for the victims. "You all know these traumas never go away. There's still so many families desperately waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones, not knowing if they're alive or dead or hostages," he said. Israel’s military claimed Tuesday to have regained control inside the country after it ordered a “full siege” of Gaza, meaning no food, gas or power would be allowed into the densely po[CENSORED]ted area, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said. Fears have grown over the hostages Hamas fighters seized as they attacked parts of southern Israel. The militant group threatened to start executing them if Israel bombed civilian targets in Gaza. "This attack has brought to the surface painful memories and the scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and genocide of the Jewish people," Biden said. At a news conference Monday morning in Tel Aviv, the families of Americans believed to have been taken hostage called on Biden to take action to bring them home. After he said the Israeli government has the responsibility of bringing back all hostages, the son of missing Adrienne Neta, 66, stressed the Biden administration also shares responsibility for every U.S. citizen whose life is at stake in the Israel-Hamas war. “They’re responsible to bring the U.S. citizens back home, safe and sound. We expect nothing less from the U.S. administration from President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken,” he said. “I speak in the name of myself and my family, and I wish for the quick solution for this terrible, terrible situation that all of us are in.” A Palestinian youth sits in front of a charred building Tuesday after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City's al-Rimal district. In support of Israel, the Biden administration is sending ships from the Navy’s USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and officials plan to keep in place some F-16 and A-10 fighter jets that had been scheduled to rotate out of the region, a U.S. official told NBC News. The move is intended to signal a message to “stand down," an official said. Blinken is headed to Israel on Wednesday and scheduled to arrive Thursday, the State Department announced. The trip will include Blinken’s “meeting with senior leaders in the Israeli government” and continuing “discussions he and the president have been having with them since the initial attack,” a spokesperson said. The death toll from the war had soared to more than 1,600 people Tuesday morning, three days after Hamas fighters launched surprise attacks on Israel, officials said. Peter Nicholas and Peter Alexander reported from Washington. Summer Concepcion reported from New York. Link

Israeli strikes devastated parts of Rimal, Gaza City's wealthiest neighbourhood, on Monday night "Where do we go? Is there a safe place left in this neighbourhood, which was so quiet and beautiful?" residents of an apartment block in Rimal asked me, with heavy sarcasm. I had just spent the most difficult seven hours of my life inside there, as Israeli warplanes carried another wave of air strikes in retaliation for the Palestinian militant group's unprecedented assault on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip on Saturday. The Israeli strikes also caused significant damage to dozens of residential buildings, the offices of telecommunications companies, and faculty buildings of the Islamic University of Gaza. Terrifying explosions shook the area throughout Monday night. Children were screaming and nobody had a moment's sleep. It was a night that the residents of Rimal - Gaza City's wealthiest neighbourhood and usually its quietest - will not forget for a long time. As dawn broke on Tuesday, the intensity of the strikes decreased and people discovered the extent of the destruction. The south-western neighbourhood's infrastructure was severely damaged and most roads leading to it were cut off. As I drove around it felt as if there had been an earthquake. There was rubble, shattered glass and severed wiring everywhere. Such was the devastation that I did not recognise some of the buildings that I passed. "I lost everything. My apartment, where my five children lived, was here in this building. My grocery shop below the building was destroyed," Mohammed Abu al-Kass told me while carrying his daughter Shahd in the street. "Where do we go? We have become homeless. There is no shelter for us anymore or work." "Are my house and my grocery shop a military target, Israel?" he added, accusing the Israeli military of lying when it says it does not target civilians. The Palestinian health ministry said that about 300 people, two thirds of them civilians, were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza on Monday. It was the deadliest day there for many years. At least 15 people were killed in the densely po[CENSORED]ted Jabalia refugee camp, north-east of Gaza City, in the afternoon. The Israeli military said it targeted the home of a Hamas commander. But many people at a nearby market or in neighbouring houses were killed. Humanitarian crisis deepens The overall death toll in Gaza since Saturday now stands at 900, including 260 children, according to the health ministry. Another 4,500 people have been injured. The already dire humanitarian crisis in this tiny, overcrowded territory also deepens. Its 2.2 million residents are running out of food, fuel, electricity and water, after Israel's government ordered a "complete siege" and cut off all of Gaza's supplies in response to Hamas's attack. Saturday's unexpected assault has killed 1,000 people on the Israeli side, and between 100 and 150 hostages have been taken across the border into Gaza by the militants. "Can you imagine that we are living without power or water in the 21st Century? My baby has run out of nappies and there is only half a bottle of milk left," said Waad al-Mughrabi as she looked at the destroyed building next to her home in Rimal. "Was it my child who attacked Israel?" Outside Gaza's largest supermarket, which had opened for the first time since Saturday, dozens of people were queuing in front of a small back door. They were hoping to buy whatever provisions they could, fearful that the fighting will last a long time. Most of Gaza's fresh vegetables and fruits are grown in the south of the territory, and the severe fuel shortage means that transporting them to the north will become increasingly difficult. The UN says 200,000 people in Gaza have fled their homes out of fear or because they have been destroyed So far, there have been no deliveries of food or other essential goods from Egypt, which has maintained a tight blockade of Gaza, along with Israel, since Hamas took over the territory in 2007 for security reasons. People have also been unable to flee Gaza via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Only 400 a day are usually allowed in or out, but Israeli air strikes on Monday and Tuesday hit an entry gate on the Palestinian side, stopping any crossings, the Palestinian interior ministry in Gaza said. That has forced most of the 200,000 people who have fled their homes to take shelter in UN-run schools. Some have fled in fear, while others have seen their homes destroyed by air strikes. Some Gazans are choosing to shelter in basements, but they risk being trapped inside if the building above collapses. About 30 families were trapped in one basement alone on Monday night. "In previous wars, this part of the city was a safe haven for residents of areas on the border [with Israel]," said Rimal resident Mohammed al-Mughrabi. The Israeli strikes on Monday night showed that nowhere is safe anymore. Link

Nick movie: JUSTICE LEAGUE Time: November 13, 2017 Netflix / Amazon / HBO: HBO Duration of the movie: 120 M Trailer:

Single-seat delivery van will be followed by a pickup truck, a taxi and some kind of rickshaw thing… Brit company Helixx has released pictures of its first demonstrator vehicle – an all-electric van that aims to "support sustainable economic development in emerging megacities". Of course. Why are we telling you this? Because it’s a single-seater vehicle with a central driving position which means it’s basically a McLaren F1. Oh, and we’re told that Helixx is planning a full range of cute-looking commercial vehicles after this van. There’ll be a pickup truck, a closed-body taxi with seats in the back and an open-bodied rickshaw type thing that passengers could hop in and out of. Anyway, back to the thing we’re actually here to talk about. Known simply as the Helixx commercial delivery van, it’s pretty teeny at 3.2m long and 1.5m wide, but there’s 2,100 litres of space in the back and a 500kg payload. The rear door is 110cm wide and the load bay is 140cm long to enable a shipping pallet to fit neatly inside. The single-seat configuration means there’s more load space up front too, plus it means no changes need to be made for sales in left-hand drive markets. There’s no word on any powertrain details just yet though, so we don’t know what motors or battery Helixx will use. Helixx’s plan is to have this thing built in flat pack ‘Mobility Hubs’ in local markets around the world. It’ll be able to do that because the van itself uses 3D printing for all of its structural and cosmetic body parts, with the actual body consisting of just five key parts that ‘click and bond’ together without any need for welding. Nice. Helixx reckons the whole system simplifies the manufacturing process by up to 50 per cent. Apparently, the plan is for production to start in 2024 with a run of 100 vehicles built in the UK.

President Joe Biden was interviewed as part of the investigation into his handling of classified documents being led by special counsel Robert Hur, the White House said. A person familiar with the matter said Hur personally led the interview. In a statement Monday night, White House spokesman Ian Sams said the voluntary interview was conducted over two days, Sunday and Monday. “As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation," Sams said. A person familiar with the matter said the interview was scheduled several weeks ago. When asked about his plans to sit for an interview in the investigation as he was visiting Lake Tahoe in August, Biden told reporters, “There’s no such request and no such interest.” A spokesperson for Hur and Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, declined to comment. The interview raises the possibility that the special counsel’s investigation may be nearing its end, nearly nine months after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur to oversee a probe into Biden’s handling of classified documents. The White House said in January that documents with classified markings were uncovered at Biden’s Delaware home and at a Washington office he used after he was vice president. Hur was the U.S. attorney for Maryland during the Trump administration. NBC News has reported that Biden and Hur had been in negotiations over the terms of an interview, including details about the interview's timing and location, as well as the scope of the questions, two people familiar with the matter said in August. Biden’s classified documents case has unfolded as his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, faces charges that he mishandled documents, including allegations that he told a property manager at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida to delete security video. During his presidential campaign, Trump has sought to liken his handling of documents to Biden's. Biden's aides have pushed back against the comparison, saying Biden promptly returned classified documents to the government when they were discovered in his office and then voluntarily allowed federal authorities to search his properties for additional materials.

The Gaza Strip could be on the brink of a new humanitarian crisis if supplies are not allowed in, authorities say, as Israel responds to the Hamas attacks. On Monday, Israel declared a "complete siege" on the territory, saying electricity, food, fuel and water would be cut off. According to residents, aid has not reached the enclave since Saturday. BBC footage shows deserted streets covered with rubble from collapsed buildings following Israeli airstrikes. Nearly 700 people have died in these attacks and thousands more are reported to have been injured. The area is home to about 2.3 million people in total - 80% of whom rely on humanitarian aid mainly due to the ongoing hostilities with Israel. It is ruled by Hamas militants but Israel controls the airspace and its shoreline. It also restricts who and what goods can cross its borders. Neighbouring Egypt strictly controls what or who can pass through its border with Gaza too. Since the attacks began on Saturday morning, Israel has stopped all supplies entering Gaza, including food and medicine. Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said more than a dozen healthcare workers had been killed or injured and at least seven medical centres had been damaged. Meanwhile, many people are currently without electricity and internet, and could soon be out of essential food and water supplies. "Damage to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities has undermined services to more than 400,000 people," said Mr Dujarric. "The Gaza Power Plant is now the only source of electricity and could run out of fuel within days." He added that the World Food Programme was already distributing food for up to 100,000 internally displaced Palestinians and that these efforts would increase eight-fold in the coming days. Even before the latest restrictions, residents of Gaza already faced widespread food insecurity, restrictions on movement and water shortages. Juliet Touma, a spokeswoman for the United Nations' Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), told the BBC people in Gaza were "terrified" by the current situation and worried for their safety - as well as that of their children and families. On Monday, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said it would impose a "complete siege" on the territory. "No electricity, no food, no water, no gas - it's all closed," he said, adding that "we are fighting animals and are acting accordingly." The Israeli infrastructure minister later ordered the immediate cut-off of water supplies to Gaza, saying: "What was in the past will no longer be in the future." In a statement released before those announcements, the Palestinian health ministry said hospitals were facing a shortage of medicines, medical supplies and fuel due to Israel's actions. It called on international actors to urge Israel to "restart power lines" and to supply emergency needs in the form of medicine, fuel and power generators. Israel has launched retaliatory strikes on Gaza after the weekend attacks by Hamas Israel has launched massive retaliatory air strikes into Gaza in recent days. Sunday night saw a particularly heavy barrage of strikes, potentially the biggest Gaza has experienced in years. Some of the strikes targeted the border area in the east of Gaza, from where Hamas launched their attacks on Saturday morning. Israel appears to be targeting those areas to try and shore up security there. There have also been reports from witnesses of Israel using artillery fire in the border area. Israel said it is striking Hamas targets in Gaza, but there are reports of civilians being hit. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign affairs said two refugee camps in Gaza - Al-Shati (also known as the Beach camp) and Jabalia camps - were hit by Israeli airstrikes, reportedly leaving several injured and dead. Video shared online from Jabalia showed widespread chaos, including a body being carried away and a man covered in blood and dust. The foreign ministry also said air strikes hit a United Nations school in Gaza that was housing hundreds of civilians, including children and the elderly. The UN confirmed the attack, saying the school was "severely damaged", but that no one was killed. There have also been reports of a mosque, as well as homes, being hit. According to Associated Press, 19 members of the same family were killed in a strike in Rafah, in the south of Gaza. The UN said on Monday 123,538 people in Gaza have been internally displaced, mostly "due to fear, protection concerns and the destruction of their homes". The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) added that 73,000 people are sheltering in schools. Link
