Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, Germany's government says. It said toxicology tests at a military laboratory showed "unequivocal proof" of an agent from the Novichok group. Mr Navalny was airlifted to Berlin for treatment after falling ill during a flight in Russia's Siberia region last month. He has been in a coma since. His team says he was poisoned on President Vladimir Putin's orders. The Kremlin has dismissed the allegation. The German government said it condemned the attack in the strongest terms and called for Russia to urgently provide an explanation. "It is a disturbing development that Alexei Navalny was the victim of a chemical nerve agent in Russia," it said. What are Novichok agents and what do they do? Navalny and Russia’s arsenal of exotic poisons Alexei Navalny: Russia's vociferous Putin critic Chancellor Angela Merkel has met senior ministers to discuss the next steps, the statement said. The Kremlin said it had not received any information from Germany that Mr Navalny had been poisoned using a Novichok nerve agent, Russia's Tass news agency reported. The German government said it would inform the EU and Nato military alliance of its findings. "[The federal government] will discuss an appropriate joint response with the partners in the light of the Russian response," it said. Mr Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya and Russia's ambassador to Germany would also be informed of the findings, the statement said. What happened to Navalny? Mr Navalny fell ill on a flight from Tomsk to Moscow. His supporters suspect poison was placed in a cup of tea at Tomsk airport. The flight of the prominent Putin critic was diverted to Omsk, where doctors treated him for three days before he was transferred to the Charité hospital in Berlin.

When lockdown brought the UK car industry to a screeching halt, it quickly became apparent that whatever car each staff member had been babysitting on the evening of Monday 23 March was going to be their new de facto longtermer, whether they liked it or not. And when the music did suddenly stop, I was left with the keys to the rear-drive version of Lamborghini’s Huracán Evo. April 29 2020: We don’t have a comprehensive spec for this car, because one doesn’t exist: this is an ‘events’ car – one of two that were trailered from Italy to Millbrook Proving Ground for Autocar, plus a few others, to drive and report on. Unsurprisingly, the Millbrook meet-up was spiked, so we collected the Huracán from Lamborghini’s service department in north-west London – the day before lockdown. News reports suggested the country was headed only one way, so I put more than 300 miles on the odometer and gathered as many driving and general impressions as possible. Suffice it to say, even with 29bhp trimmed from the Performante-spec 5.2-litre V10 of the regular Huracán Evo, leaving 602bhp, this thing still goes like a missile. Moreover, it goes better than any other Huracán I’ve driven. It’s rare to see one of these cars with the smallest, 19in wheels, but there’s no doubt these improve the ride and the steering – and possibly even the look of the thing. Also, the cast-iron brakes are much more progressive than the overservoed and expensive ceramic options, while the new, low-slung Sports seats are, on acquaintance, excellent. Better still, they show Lamborghini’s hunger to genuinely improve the driving experience. The rear-drive Huracán is box-fresh, remember, and this Grigio Hati (think non-metallic USAF grey) example would’ve been one of the last last cars to leave Sant’Agata before the factory switched to making surgical masks for the largest hospital in nearby Bologna. Without wanting to make unnecessary light of a tragic situation, these are being made by the women who usually stitch together the wild interiors of the Aventador SVJ etc, and they’re bright orange. Good old Lambo.

President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden have been accusing one another over violence that has erupted at protests in Portland, Oregon. A man linked to a right-wing group was killed on Saturday, as elsewhere in the city a pro-Trump rally clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters. Mr Trump called participants of the rally "great patriots" and blamed the city's Democratic mayor for the unrest. Mr Biden in turn accused Mr Trump of "rooting for chaos and violence". In a campaign speech in the city of Pittsburgh on Monday, the Democratic candidate said: "Fires are burning and we have a president who fans the flames rather than fighting the flames. But we must not burn. We have to build." Trump's crackdown on Portland protests explained Should Wisconsin police have used different tactics? Portland has become a flashpoint for demonstrations against police brutality and racism since the police killing of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis on 25 May triggered a wave of national and international outrage. Media reports say a man who calls himself an anti-fascist is being investigated over Saturday's deadly shooting, while the founder of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer identified the victim as a supporter. Mr Trump on Sunday re-tweeted what appeared to be the dead man's name along with the message "Rest in Peace". Police have not publicly named the suspect or the victim, or specified whether the shooting was directly linked to the clashes. The president is set to visit the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday amid anger there over the police shooting of black man Jacob Blake. What have Trump and Biden said? Mr Trump has blamed Portland's Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler for the unrest. "Portland will never recover with a fool for a mayor," he wrote on Twitter on Sunday as he suggested sending federal forces to the city. He also accused Mr Biden of being "unwilling to lead". What happened on Saturday? Unrest broke out in Portland on Saturday night as a caravan of hundreds of Trump supporters clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters. Portland police said they "heard sounds of gunfire" and "located a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest." Right-wing group Patriot Prayer identified the victim as Aaron "Jay" Danielson, adding that he was "a good friend and a supporter". The group has held pro-Trump rallies in Portland and other US cities since 2016, according to the Associated Press news agency. Mr Trump also shared a tweet naming the victim as Jay Bishop - another name said to have been used by the same man - along with the message "Rest in peace Jay!" Oregon Live reported that "camouflage gear" with "thin blue line patches" was seen next to the body - a common sign of support for the police.

Rolls-Royce has detailed the measures it has taken to reduce noise inside the next-generation Ghost, including a series of 'acoustic tuning' measures to make the cabin calmer and more comfortable. The second-generation luxury saloon, due to be revealed next month, will gain four-wheel drive and a raft of upgrades - and Rolls-Royce has also taken measures to ensure it enhances its credentials by reducing noise inside Citing customer feedback affirming that interior comfort is a key consideration for customers, Rolls-Royce's designers undertook a process to minimise the noise disruption inside the cabin. The process, which the firm called its Formula for Serenity, involved adding extra insulation to the aluminium chassis, with a double-skinned bulkhead section between the cabin and the 6.75-litre V12 engine to reduce noise from the unit. Sound-absorbing materials were also added in the roof, boot and floor. Rolls-Royce then reviewed individual parts to minimise the noise they produced, for example smoothing the inside of the air conditioning ducts. To ensure the cabin wasn't disconcertingly quiet, the firm then undertook a process of "acoustic tuning", tuning each component to a specific frequency to create a single small noise, which it calls a 'whisper'. To do that, engineers developed new damping units for the seat frames and new ports between the cabin and boot. The measures Rolls-Royce has taken to reduce noise in the new Ghost's cabin were outlined in the latest of a series of animated films, in which the firm has detailed several key features of the new car. These include a video highlighting the new all-wheel-steering system, previously seen on the latest Phantom, and the switch from rear- to four-wheel-drive. Rolls-Royce has also detailed a new suspension technology making its debut on the Ghost. Called the Planar system, it features what the firm describes as a "world-first technology" in the form of an upper wishbone damper unit mounted above the front suspension assembly for "an even more stable and effortless ride". The system has taken three years to develop. There's also the Flagbearer system, which uses cameras to read the road ahead and prepare the suspension, and Satellite Aided Transmission, which uses GPS data to preselect the optimum gear for a corner.

Imagine the house next door is on fire and there is no fire brigade to call on to avert an imminent disaster about to engulf you and your family. That is how Egypt has viewed Libya since the brutal end of former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and his regime in 2011. Libya has no properly functioning state institutions, no unified army or security forces to speak of, and, crucially, no border guards on its side of their porous 1,100km (685-mile) long desert border. Plus the country is awash with weapons. The fire began to spill over when Libyans failed to agree on a path forward, militias of all kinds proliferated, jihadists resurfaced to pursue their dream of creating an Islamic state in Libya and beyond. Egypt - whose military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013, and jailed him and other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood - became a prime target: In June 2014, smugglers killed six Egyptian border guards In 2017, a group of jihadists crossed into Egyptian territory and attacked a security checkpoint, killing 16 soldiers and wounding 13 others Inside Libya itself, Egyptian labourers were targeted. In 2015 militants from the Islamic State group kidnapped and beheaded 21 Egyptian Christians, apparently in retaliation for the removal from power of President Morsi Post-Gaddafi Libya was quickly caught up in the chasm that has polarised and paralysed politics in nearly the whole of the Middle East and North Africa. It is the struggle between the advocates of political Islam, foremost among which is the transnational Muslim Brotherhood and its many offshoots, and secular or quasi-secular forces and old-fashioned nationalists. A UN-brokered deal that set up a provisional government in Tripoli failed to disarm the militias or achieve the national reconciliation it was created for. Turkey, the turning point As Libya fractured between an Islamist-dominated west and anti-Islamist east - it was only natural for Egypt, which had declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, to throw its weight behind the man who had declared war on the Islamists in Libya, Gen Khalifa Haftar. He had fought them and cleared Benghazi and other major urban centres in the east and south of Islamist militants.

Tesla mobile app getting two-factor authentication "embarrassingly late", says Elon Musk Tesla is finally adding a much-needed security feature to its mobile app in a bid to try and protect its vehicles. The carmaker is introducing two-factor authentication (2FA) into its mobile app, meaning users will need to combine login information with a code or identifier linked to their personal device in order to gain access, hopefully boosting security protection for owners. The move was "embarrassingly late", admitted Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Best security key around today: hardware keys for top online protection What is 2FA? Two-Factor Authentication explained We've also featured the best password generators Tesla security “Sorry, this is embarrassingly late. Two factor authentication via sms or authenticator app is going through final validation right now,” Musk wrote in a Twitter response to a question from one of his followers. 2FA has become standard practice for almost all of the world's top technology firms, with Musk previously saying the platform would be "coming soon" when asked back in April. Musk first mentioned adding 2FA to the Tesla app in May 2019. The app allows Tesla owners to access a number of features and systems on their vehicle without being inside, including checking its battery charge level, adjusting the interior temperature, and even locking and unlocking the car remotely.

Ford has unveiled a new special edition of its GT supercar, inspired by its iconic ancestor's first endurance win in the 1966 Daytona 24 Hour Continental race. The win, which was captured in the 2019 film Le Mans '66, began a magical season for the GT40 Mk II, with additional wins at Sebring and Le Mans. The GT Heritage Edition is the first GT to feature a livery famous for a race other than Le Mans. Just 50 GT Heritage Edition cars will be available globally, of which less than 10 are likely to arrive in the UK, according to a Ford spokesperson. These will touch down early next year and will cost around £400,000. The model is marked out by a white-black-and-red exterior that mimics the look of the 1966 Daytona-winning car, with red accents on the front fascia, roof leading edge and driver’s side door and underneath the rear wing. An exposed carbonfibre bonnet contrasts with a mainly white body, while signature 98 roundel graphics complete the parallels between this car and the GT40 Mk II, which famously sported the number. Inside, the GT Heritage Edition gains black suede detailing on the instrument panel, headliner and steering wheel and red detailing on the shift paddles and seats. The car rides on 20in forged aluminium wheels paired with red Brembo monoblock brake calipers. Buyers can replace these with 20in, red-detailed carbonfibre wheels and black brake calipers for an extra cost. The GT Heritage Edition retains the standard GT’s 3.5-litre V6 engine, generating 638bhp, which is relayed to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic gearbox. This allows the car to sprint 0-62mph in around 3.0sec and hit a top speed of 216mph. Ford GT programme manager Mike Severson said: “For this Heritage Edition, the Ford Performance team went deeper into the Ford GT’s race history and crafted a limited-edition model that stylistically honors the 55th anniversary of the Daytona 24 Hour endurance race that would eventually lead to our successes at Le Mans.”

Somali special forces say they have ended a siege at a hotel in the capital Mogadishu that was stormed by armed al-Shabab militants. At least 11 people were killed at the beachside Elite Hotel, in addition to five militants, according to a government spokesman. The attackers detonated a car bomb outside the hotel on Sunday before storming it and seizing hostages. The recently built hotel is owned by an MP and is po[CENSORED]r with officials. Witnesses said the initial blast was heard across Mogadishu and there was chaos as people fled the area. Security forces sealed off the hotel and exchanged fire with the gunmen inside. Four hours later, government spokesman Ismael Mukhtaar Omar tweeted that the siege was over and all the gunmen had been killed. A senior official from the information ministry and another official from the defence ministry are reported to be among the dead. Dozens more people were reported to be wounded. More than 200 people were rescued from the hotel, according to the government spokesman. Who are al-Shabab? A brief guide to Somalia The privately-owned Somali news website Dhacdoone described the hotel as one of the most heavily guarded facilities in Mogadishu.

A prototype of the next-generation Subaru BRZ has been spotted for the first time, giving us an early look at the hotly anticipated sports coupé's production styling ahead of its expected unveiling next year. The 2021 BRZ, as reported earlier this year, will get 252bhp from a turbocharged petrol engine. Like its predecessor, it will be mechanically - and likely visually - identical to a Toyota being launched at around the same time, expected to be called the GR86. These images reveal that the BRZ's familiar curved silhouette forms the basis for the styling of the next-generation car, but we can see for certain that the front grille has been significantly enlargened and there are new light designs at both the front and rear. A similarly compact footprint to the outgoing model tallies with earlier reports that the Toyota-Subaru duo will swap from their current Subaru-derived underpinnings onto the TNGA architecture that underpins Toyota's Corolla family hatchback and can be adapted to suit a rear-wheel-drive powertrain. As with the previous model, however, the BRZ and its GR86 sibling will use an engine from Subaru's current line-up, likely the 2.4-litre four-cylinder boxer motor found in the US-market Ascent SUV. Its 252bhp output represents a substantial upgrade over the 197bhp offered by the current BRZ's naturally aspirated motor, which suggests Subaru and Toyota are looking to target more potent sports cars, such as the Alpine A110. Also on the cards is a comprehensive interior overhaul for both models, with improvements made in material quality, infotainment functionality and usability. The size and shape of this new prototype suggests, however, that there hasn't been a move to significantly extend rear leg room to enhance the car's grand touring potential. Subaru and Toyota extended their model development partnership last year, confirming that a successor to the GT86 and BRZ was under development. Sharing the high cost of designing and building a sports car makes it a more economically viable proposition, given that demand for such models has tailed off in recent years. The two firms will also collaborate on a new electric vehicle architecture with the ultimate aim of jointly launching an electric SUV with Subaru-derived four-wheel drive technology and Toyota's powertrain hardware. The first sighting of a BRZ development mule comes just two weeks after Subaru announced that it was ending production of the original model, eight years after its launch.

Seeing police brutality up close has shocked Belarusians, first during the street clashes with protesters and then as accounts spread of cruelty towards those taken to detention centres. A 25-year-old man died in custody after he was detained on Sunday. His mother said he had been held in a police van for hours. A street very close to my home in Minsk was at the heart of one of the confrontations between police and protesters this week. Stun grenades went off and people screamed as riot police struck them with batons. The screams were so loud that they drowned out the sound of the grenades. Defiance and anger The protests are unprecedented in their scale as people in dozens of cities, towns and even villages rise up and call for the main opposition figure, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, to be recognised as the winner of Sunday's presidential election. I watched as young men and women ran for safety past my windows, taking a break from the clashes before returning to face the police. My female neighbours are trying to stop their sons and husbands from joining the nightly protests, worried for their safety. Some 7,000 people have been detained and you don't have to be protesting to be arrested. My friend's son, a university lecturer, was detained randomly before the elections and spent three days in a cell. The detainee who died in Gomel in southern Belarus, Alexander Vikhor, had been on his way to see his girlfriend, according to his mother.

Pictures taken from the surface of Mars by Nasa’s rovers have been remastered into 4K resolution, giving an even clearer look at the surface of the Red Planet. British YouTubers ElderFox Documentaries took stills sent from Nasa’s Curiosity, Spirit, and Opportunity rovers and ‘upscaled’ them, splicing them together into a video. They have described it as ‘the most lifelike experience of being on Mars’. Among the images are captures of the Meridiani Planum, a plain near Mars’ equator, where tracks from the Opportunity rover can be seen. Depending on how many images are available, some panoramas have black sections because of a lack of suitable pictures. While these could be avoided by zooming into the image, the YouTubers decided to have them remain so that the image resolution was not compromised. All of the images are in the public domain and available on Nasa’s site. Many of the images have been recoloured by Nasa, changing the hazy red colours of the Martian sky to bluer colours – similar to that on Earth. That is done so geologists can better study rock formations. One image of the Glen Torridon area (which is named after the Scottish hills) is “the largest mosaic ever put together”, the video claims, with 1.8 billion pixels. It was made from over 1000 images sent from Curiosity between 24 November and 1 December 2019. The Glen Torridon area has been theorised to contain a large amount of clay, which points towards Mars having once had water and increasing the likelihood that it holds life. When the missions were launched, the cameras on board the rovers were the “height of technology”, according to the video’s narrator. Spirit and Opportunity were launched in 2003 and Curiosity was launched in 2011. However, the rate at which the rovers can send data back to Earth is significantly lower than our connections at home, which makes it near-impossible to transmit video back to Nasa.

Petrol power and sound versus diesel torque and fuel economy: the debate has raged for years. And despite the decline in po[CENSORED]rity of cars fuelled via the black pump, it seems, given Audi’s recent internal flip-flopping, that the argument is alive and well. Ingolstadt’s S-car saga began in 2012, when it introduced the diesel-only SQ5. It was the first oil-burning Audi S model, and the logic of pairing a two-tonne, four-wheel drive SUV with a well-endowed diesel V6 was undeniable. Then Dieselgate became the portmanteau of the decade, and with Audi’s 3.0-litre unit under the microscope, its future looked untenable. The brand responded with the second-generation SQ5 in 2017, adopting the 3.0-litre petrol V6 found in the S4 and S5 of the time. That lasted all of, well, a year, as the introduction of the WLTP testing regime and looming CO2-based European fleet average legislation led to the SQ5 disappearing until a new version arrived last summer with (yep, you guessed it) a diesel V6. Audi’s indecision continues to this day – the SQ7 and SQ8 have just switched from diesel to petrol – meaning there’s now roughly a 50/50 split between petrol and diesel in the S model range. Experience has told us that performance diesels such as these aren’t cars that wow you from the outset, instead taking a while to get under your skin. The perfect excuse to run this Tango Red S5 Sportback for a few months, then. As we’ve come to expect from premium German brands, this isn’t ‘merely’ a £51,000 base S5 Sportback. Audi has gone to town a bit on the options. For starters, it’s effectively a Vorsprung model, with upgrades including 20in alloy wheels, a panoramic roof, adaptive Sport suspension, a Bang & Olufsen stereo and all the LED lighting cleverness you could possibly need. We’ve also got Audi’s super-bright laser lights, which aren’t seeing much use in the midst of summer but will surely be welcomed as the nights close in. More superficial additions include red brake calipers and gloss carbon cabin inlays. Practical boxes ticked include the larger 24-litre AdBlue tank (the cheapest option at just £60) and the ‘Tour’ Driver Assistance Pack (the most expensive, at £2700), bringing a suite of active safety systems too numerous to list here. All in, this is a £70,000 car – well into RS4 Avant money. So, as the months tick by, I shall aim to provide some consumer advice and tell you which boxes are worth ticking and which aren’t. Back to the car itself. I was hoping for a subtler colour to really sell the diesel S5’s Q-car status, but flash Tango Red will do; with the big wheels, quad tailpipes and other S details, it certainly distinguishes itself from the fleet-spec Audis dominating every motorway in the land. You’d think the illusion would be shattered once that TDI V6 is awoken, but the S5 gets an exhaust sound actuator that (largely) drowns out the diesel clatter with a faux-V8 burble at idle and low revs. I’ve yet to make my mind up; inside it adds a little theatre, but outside it’s a touch more narrowboat than sports car.

A protester has died in Belarus in police custody, the second death since clashes with police erupted on Sunday over a disputed presidential election. Officials say the cause of death of the 25-year-old man in Gomel is unclear. His mother says he had heart problems and was kept for hours in a police van. In Brest, police said they used live bullets when they came under attack. The UN has condemned the use of violence by authorities, as protests continued for a fourth night. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, said police officers were reported to have used excessive force, firing rubber bullets and water cannons, and also throwing stun grenades. "Reports suggest that more [than] approximately 6,000 people have been detained in the last three days, including bystanders, as well as minors, suggesting a trend of massive arrests in clear violation of international human rights standards," Ms Bachelet said in a statement. "Even more disturbing are the reports of ill-treatment during and after detention", she added, calling for the release of all those unlawfully detained. State TV has shown some bruised detainees lined up and being asked if they intend to continue "making revolution". At least 200 protesters have been wounded, some seriously. A BBC crew was also attacked by police on Tuesday evening. A demonstrator died during a protest in the capital Minsk on Monday. The Belarusian interior ministry alleged an explosive device had gone off in his hand. On Wednesday evening, more clashes were reported as protesters rallied again in Minsk and other Belarusian cities. The numbers on the streets appeared to be smaller that during previous nights. How messenger app bypassed Belarus news blackout Five things you might not know about Belarus Europe's longest serving ruler facing unfamiliar pressure The protests erupted hours after Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, was declared the winner of Sunday's vote, which has been condemned by the EU as "neither free nor fair". The main opposition contender, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, was then briefly held before fleeing to neighbouring Lithuania.

Bentley has updated the top-rung Speed variant of its Bentayga SUV in line with the facelifted standard car, bringing new styling, a revamped interior and efficiency-boosting powertrain technology. As before, the Bentayga Speed calls on a 6.0-litre W12 producing 626bhp and 664lb ft to accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.9sec and on to a top speed of 190mph - making it the world’s fastest SUV. Retaining its motor means it won’t be sold in the UK, with Bentley choosing instead to send it to “regions where demand for 12-cylinder SUVs remains strong”, including the US, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Although power output remains unchanged, new cylinder-deactivation technology is claimed to bring “significant economy gains under part-throttle cruising conditions” as well as reducing CO2 emissions. The ECU deactivates six cylinders at a time, where possible, and alternates between the two to avoid them cooling down, which would make them less efficient. Additionally, the SUV now offers a coasting functionality, which disconnects the engine from the gearbox at cruising speed to minimise fuel consumption. Four driving modes are available: Comfort, Sport, Custom and Bentley - tuned to the recommendations of Bentley’s engineers. Sport mode has been recalibrated to improve throttle response and gearshifts, which Bentley says gives “a more dynamic and engaging drive”. Like the standard Bentayga, the Speed adopts Bentley’s new 48V electronic active roll control system, which aims to ensure the car corners flat, with maximum contact between the tyres and the road. It works alongside a recalibrated torque-vectoring system to improve responsiveness and turn-in performance. A set of optional carbon-ceramic brake discs are the largest Bentley makes, giving 6000Nm of stopping force and capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1000deg C. Styling has been tweaked in line with the fresh-faced V8 Bentayga, which is now more obviously related to the Flying Spur and Continental GT courtesy of elliptical light designs, a large ‘matrix’ grille and clamshell bonnet. The Speed is marked out by tinted headlights, dark trim details, a bespoke bodykit, 22in wheels and a larger spoiler than the standard car. An optional Black Specification styling package replaces all chrome trim elements with chrome or carbonfibre items, including the front splitter, side sills, wheels and rear diffuser. The cabin is largely identical to that of the standard Bentayga, but features optional Alcantara upholstery, brightly coloured contrasting accents throughout and ‘Speed’ scripts on the seats. Elsewhere, the Speed adopts the Bentayga’s new 10.9in central touchscreen, upgraded infotainment system, smartphone compatibility functionality and a digital instrument display. An inbuilt sim card means drivers and passengers can access an array of online services without connecting a phone.

Three people have died in the Indian city of Bangalore after police fired on crowds protesting against an allegedly blasphemous Facebook post. Crowds gathered outside the house of a local politician whose relative was accused of making an "offensive" post about the Prophet Muhammad. They set fire to vehicles and attacked policemen who arrived on the scene with stones, police told BBC Hindi. Police have arrested the man, and also 110 others who were in the crowd. City commissioner Kamal Pant said that at least 60 policemen including senior officers were injured in the violence on Tuesday night. Curfew was also imposed in two police districts of the city, he said. Meanwhile city police tweeted that the situation was "under control", adding that personnel had fired live ammunition to disperse the crowd only after using tear gas and batons first. The deaths were confirmed by the home minister of Karnataka state of which Bangalore is the capital. The violence started after protesters massed outside the politician's house as well as a police station after spotting the post, which local media say has since been deleted. Meanwhile, the minister, Akhanda Srinivas Murthy made a video appeal to protesters to stay calm and promised them justice. "I appeal to my Muslim brethren not to fight over someone who has violated the law. Whatever be the matter, we are all brothers. Whoever is responsible we shall ensure that proper punishment is given to those responsible. I am with you," it said.

I do not see any activity on your part, both on the forum and on ts. From me you have #CONTRA

As much as it has been seen as something of a ‘poser’s Porsche’ over the years - one that’s never really been taken quite as seriously as its coupe sibling - the 911 Targa hasn’t been without its share of fans who wouldn’t identify as your typical boulevard show-boats. Although they might only admit it in hushed, quiet voices, there are some fairly serious drivers out there - a few of them are colleagues - who actually quite fancy the idea of a Targa-topped 911. You can certainly see why. I mean, just look at it; what isn’t there to like about the way it manages to maintain practically all of the coupe’s iconic silhouette, despite the fact there’s a fairly large stretch of roof missing? Even though the full-fat cabriolet is now more handsome than ever, its overall shape still doesn’t match this new 992-generation Targa for sheer visual appeal. It really is quite a fantastic looking car. But as much as the Targa’s dashing appearance might have endeared it to testers and driving enthusiasts alike over the years, that fact alone has never been enough to see it rise to the top of the “base” 911 tree. Compromised rigidity, greater weight (the Targa has historically been the porkiest 911 variant), and a higher centre of mass over the rear axle have all served to blunt its dynamic edge somewhat over the years. And although Porsche might have really put the work in to narrow that gap between the coupe and its drop-top range mates over the years, as a roofless 911 the Targa has struggled to really showcase exactly what it offers over and above the fractionally lighter Cabriolet. Aside from its more appealing looks, that is. So we’re back at the poser question, it seems. I guess we’re just going to have to accept there is a degree of truth to it. Anyway, there are two different 911 Targa models available: the base Targa 4, and the more powerful Targa 4S tested here in left-hand-drive guise. So four-wheel-drive is standard across the Targa range, then, as has been the case since the 997-generation Targa was launched back in 2006. For the 992 Targa 4, power comes from Porsche’s 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six, which develops a healthy 380bhp and 332lb ft. In the 4S, these figures are upped to 444bhp at 6500rpm and 391lb ft between 2300-5000rpm, which allow this 1675kg sports car to sprint from 0-62mph in 3.8sec and max out at 189mph.

After news of the existence of a yellow turtle in India's eastern state of Odisha went viral this past July, Nepalis wanted to remind the world that they made a similar discovery first — on April 14, 2018, to be exact — when a rare, golden turtle — but a different species — was found for the first time in southeastern Nepal’s Dhanushadham municipality. According to a research paper by Kamal Devkota, Dev Narayan Mandal and Hinrich Kaiser, which was published in the journal Herpetology Notes, the turtle was released into its natural habitat after pictures were taken as proof. In an email interview with Global Voices, Devkota explained: Our team member, Chandradeep Sada, rescued this rare golden turtle from Dhanushadham Municipality, Nepal on April 14, 2018. Later, Dev Narayan Mandal identified it as an Indian flapshell turtle [scientific name Lissemys punctata]. We further researched it and found that the colour aberrations are quite rare in nature. The lack of body pigmentation made the turtle appear golden coloured, with only the eyes showing a dark pigmentation. This is the first chromatic leucism in L. punctata in Nepal, which is the first for the northern subspecies of L. punctata and the fifth documented observation in the species. That's why it is very important for conservationists and researchers.

Imagine how much more interesting it would be if the roads were patrolled by Porsche 911s, or Audi R8s, or Honda NSXs? Well, believe it or not, the police in one part of the world or other have used all these cars, and a whole lot more, so cop a load of these. We’ve ranked them in order, working up to the police car we think is the world’s most interesting police car ever used. As usual, we’re only including vehicles that we’re fairly certain saw active duty, so cars used from promotional campaigns are excluded. Buckle up:
