North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has issued a rare personal apology for the killing of a South Korean official, Seoul says. Mr Kim reportedly told his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in that the "disgraceful affair" should not have happened. South Korea has said the 47-year-old man was found by troops floating in the North's waters. He was then shot dead and his body was set alight, according to Seoul. The killing - the first of a South Korean citizen by North Korean forces for a decade - has caused outrage in the South. The border between the Koreas is tightly policed, and the North is thought to have a "shoot-to-kill" policy in place to prevent coronavirus from entering the country. Kim Yo-jong: North Korea's heir apparent? Kim Jong-un and the brutal North Korea rumour mill What did Kim say in his apology? The apology came in the form of a letter sent to President Moon which acknowledged that the incident should not have happened, according to South Korea's presidential office, also known as the Blue House.

The head of the Africa Centres for Disease Control has praised African states for managing to curb the spread of coronavirus. Africa has seen about 1.4 million cases, and 34,000 deaths since March. These figures are far lower than those in Europe, Asia or the Americas, with reported cases continuing to decline. Early interventions played a crucial role in curbing the virus' spread, John Nkengasong told the BBC's Newsday programme. The continent of more than one billion people accounts for just under 5% of cases globally and 3.6% of deaths. Africa Live: More on this and other stories Is the spread of coronavirus in Africa slowing down? Relief, pride and the 'new normal' in South Africa Debunking fake coronavirus stories in Africa Dr Nkengasong described as "false" suggestions that cases and deaths in Africa were significantly under-reported. "We may not have been picking up all the cases, just like in other parts of the world... but we are not seeing people around the continent falling dead on the streets or mass burials going on," Dr Nkengasong said.

This is the 2020 Civic Type R, meaning a subtly tweaked version of Honda’s hottest ever hot hatch. In fairness, there wasn’t a lot wrong with the original - known as the FK8 by savvy Civic spotters - that made its debut in 2017. The second generation of turbocharged Type R, it did a fine job of melding spectacular straight-line pace with a chassis that magically blended acrobatic agility and adjustability with cast-iron control and just enough comfort. It was arguably one of the most complete cars of its type, with its pace, poise and practicality helping it nail the hot hatch brief to the letter. So it comes as no surprise to discover Honda hasn’t deviated too far from the winning formula with this update. In fact, it has added some extra bandwidth to the line-up, bookending it with the inclusion of a both a more subtle Sportline model and an extreme Limited Edition. All the versions of the new Type R are treated to the same tweaked nose that features a 13%-larger grille for improved cooling. Drive hard on a track and the new car is claimed to keep engine temperatures 10deg C lower than before. There are also some tweaks to the aerodynamics around this area to offset the change in aero balance created by the bigger intake. Overall though, the visual upgrades are of the ‘blink and you’ll miss them’ variety. Under the skin are new two-piece front brake discs that have been tuned for better pedal response and improved cooling. Behind these are stiffer bushes in the front suspension that increase longitudinal stiffness by 10%, while at the rear there’s 8% more lateral control. While they were there, the engineers also gave the adaptive dampers a digital massage, with an increased sampling rate helping them react faster in all three (Comfort, Sport and R+) driving modes. The changes are minimal inside but reserved for the most important areas: the steering wheel and the gear lever. The former gets an Alcantara-trimmed rim, while the latter gets a new, egg-shaped aluminium knob that has been carefully weighted for an improved shift action. As for the new models, the Sportline comes on stream early in 2021 and is the Q-car (relatively speaking) of the range, with its deleted tea tray rear spoiler, smaller (19in) alloys and seats trimmed in sombre black rather than the retina-scorching red of the standard car. It’s still clearly a Type R, but its lower-profile wing makes it a little less yobbo.

US President Donald Trump has said he will name his nominee for Supreme Court justice by the end of the week, and urged the Republican-controlled Senate to confirm his choice before the presidential election. The plan has launched a high-stakes battle ahead of the 3 November vote. Mr Trump wants to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal stalwart who died on Friday aged 87, with a conservative. He appears to have secured enough support in the Senate. This would cement a right-leaning majority on the US's highest court, where justices serve for life or until they choose to retire. The ideological balance of the nine-member court is crucial to its rulings on the most important issues in US law, with decisions made in recent years on immigration, carbon emissions and gay marriage. Democrats have criticised Mr Trump's plan, with presidential candidate Joe Biden dubbing it an "abuse of power". Meanwhile, Ms Ginsburg is set to become the first woman in history to lie in state in the US Capitol building later this week. Following her death from cancer, people around the country have been paying tribute to the prominent feminist, who served on the court for 27 years. What happens next with the nomination? On Monday, Mr Trump said he was "constitutionally obligated" to nominate someone for the Supreme Court. "We're looking at five incredible jurists... women that are extraordinary in every way. I mean, honestly, it could be any one of them, and we're going to be announcing it on Friday or Saturday," he told supporters at a rally in Ohio. US voters' verdict on Supreme Court vacancy Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death sparks political firestorm Meet the Supremes - the judges on the top US court The president earlier had a private meeting at the White House with potential nominee Amy Coney Barrett, an appeals court judge who is backed by anti-abortion conservatives. Once the president names a nominee, it is the Senate's job to vote on whether to confirm them. The Judiciary Committee will review the pick first, and then vote to send the nominee to the floor for a full vote. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to hold a confirmation vote before the election in November. Democrats have accused him of hypocrisy. Following the death of conservative justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, Mr McConnell refused to hold a vote to confirm a nominee put forward by then-President Barack Obama, a Democrat.

My first visit to Maranello came in 1993, to drive the then new 456GT for this very publication. It was in its own understated way a landmark car for Ferrari: all-new from end to end, the first with a six-speed manual gearbox and the first in far too long not to rely on the Fiat parts bin for the majority of its switchgear. It would shortly beget the 550 Maranello, so siring a line of front-engined V12 supercars that remains unbroken to this day. I can remember every moment of that trip and thinking to myself that the day that spending one’s time in such a way felt remotely normal would be the day I left this profession for good. Twenty-seven years and who knows how many trips later, that day seems as far off as ever. Not least because the most recent trip felt so like the first: less a simple automotive appraisal, more a looking glass into the future of the company. Back in 1993, the 436bhp 456GT was the most powerful standard production road car that Ferrari had ever made, with only the limited-edition F40 beating it, thanks to 478bhp. Yet the car I’m driving today, the SF90 Stradale, makes 986bhp – more than double the power of even the F40, let alone the 456GT. If it seems strange to compare a mid-engined two-seater from 2020 with a front-engined 2+2 from 1993, remember the 456GT and SF90 have in common far more than a badge. Like the 456GT, the SF90 is all-new. Like the 456GT, it has become Ferrari’s priciest and therefore flagship model. And it too shines a light not only into Ferrari’s future but also that of the supercar and hypercar genres. The SF90 is also Ferrari’s fastest car to date, both in a straight line and around the track, its traction, tyre and electronic technology overcoming the fact that its power-to-weight ratio is actually inferior to the 2013 LaFerrari’s. Indeed, on street tyres, this mainstream production Ferrari road car can lap Fiorano at about the same pace as the track-honed, race-prepped FXX from 15 years ago did on slicks. Which, when you think about it, is staggering.

Two people have been confirmed dead and another is missing after a hurricane-like storm swept across Greece. Hundreds of people were trapped in flooded buildings as Cyclone Ianos, known as a "medicane" (Mediterranean hurricane), battered areas north of Athens. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has sent three senior officials to the worst-hit central region. Train services linking the north and south of the country have been cut. Footage on social media showed huge waves lashing the beaches on the Ionian islands of Kefalonia and Zakynthos on Friday as the storm headed in. Flights and ferry services were cancelled and tourists were advised to stay indoors. Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones: What's the difference? As Ianos churned eastwards overnight, the city of Karditsa north of Athens was lashed by winds of up to 120km/h (75mph) that brought down trees and power lines and triggered landslides.

Mercedes-Benz is preparing to take on the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan and next-generation Jaguar XJ with its plush new EQS electric saloon, and fresh spy shots of a less-disguised prototype have emerged. Test cars have recently ditched the bulky body cladding and fake lights of previous testing mules, giving a glimpse of the headlight and tail-light designs and the overall body proportions. We've now had our first glimpse inside, too, and it looks like the EQS will have the same 11.9in central touchscreen and 12.3in digital display as the recently revealed 2021 S-Class, doing away largely with physical controls. Mercedes previously confirmed a range of more than 700km (435 miles) for the EQS. Daimler boss Ola Källenius said the new model would also "set the benchmark" in terms of luxury, comfort and safety. The EQS will compete with the Taycan and its upcoming Audi E-Tron GT sibling in the flourishing electric premium saloon segment. Test mules feature a low, swooping roofline, with a slim headlight design among the more obvious visible features. The EQS is described as being roughly the size of the current CLS. Mercedes previously hinted at the styling of its first electric saloon with the EQS Vision concept at last year's Frankfurt motor show. The latest addition to Mercedes' EQ electric vehicle line-up will join the EQC mid-sized SUV and EQA compact SUV in showrooms in 2021. According to officials, the EQS name implies a level of luxury, comfort and features consummate to the company’s traditional S-Class. It will head what the engineering boss of the EQ sub-brand, Michael Kelz, suggests will be a 10-strong electric model range by the middle of the 2020s. Whereas the EQC is based on existing underpinnings from the GLC, the range-topping EQS will be the first EQ model to benefit from Mercedes' dedicated Modular Electric Architecture (MEA).

Germany says 10 European countries have agreed to take 400 unaccompanied minors who fled Greece's largest migrant camp when it was gutted by fire. In a press conference on Friday, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said most would go to Germany and France. Close to 13,000 people had been living in squalor in the Moria camp on Lesbos. Families have been sleeping in fields and on roads after fleeing the blaze on Wednesday, as authorities struggle to find them accommodation. Near the ruins of Moria local residents blocked roads to stop charities from delivering aid and said they were against the construction of new tents. After visiting Moria, European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas announced that the devastated camp would be replaced by a modern facility on the same site. The Greek government has sent a team to Lesbos to find a solution locally, but residents oppose plans for a new camp. How the migrant crisis changed Europe Med's deadly migrant crisis: In maps and charts Protecting yourself from coronavirus in a migrant camp "Now is the time to shut down Moria for good," Vangelis Violatzis, a local municipal leader, told AFP. How to deal with the mass arrivals of migrants, mainly to Italy and Greece, has divided the EU for years. Italy and Greece have accused wealthier northern countries of failing to do more, while a number of central and eastern nations are openly resistant to the idea of taking in a quota of migrants. What's been agreed? Mr Seehofer said France and Germany would each accept between 100 and 150 of the children. The Netherlands has already pledged to accept 50 and Finland will take 11. Talks are ongoing with other states to take part, Mr Seehofer said. Other countries expected to take in children include Switzerland, Belgium, Croatia, Slovenia, Luxembourg and Portugal, according to German reports. The fire at Moria was "a sharp reminder to all of us for what we need to change in Europe", the interior minister said.
