The new McLaren GT is a grand tourer in every sense: luxurious, spacious and powerful. Here's everything you need to know about it... On sale: Late 2019 | Price from: £163,000 If you can afford to shop at the very top of the sports car market, the name McLaren will likely be very familiar to you. The British marque sits alongside the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin in creating some of the most exciting (and expensive) cars in existence. It has had success at the What Car? Awards, too, with the 570S Coupé winning our top price point in the sports car category this year. And now there's an all-new model joining the range. Named the McLaren GT, it is of course a grand tourer – the kind of car that can whisk you down to the south of France in luxury and comfort, put in a hard session at the race track and then get you back home in time for Antiques Roadshow. 2019 McLaren GT engine Clearly, any car that can do all that is going to need a mighty engine at its core, and powering the GT is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre petrol V8. With 612bhp available to the rear wheels, it's capable of hitting 62mph from a standing start in 3.2sec and will keep accelerating on to 203mph. As you might expect, too, its emissions and fuel economy are somewhat eye-watering – 245g/km of CO2 and 23.7mpg. A seven-speed automatic gearbox is standard. 2019 McLaren GT price Prices for the GT start from £163,000, but it's worth noting that most customers at this end of the market will go far beyond that, with options to personalise their cars quickly adding up.

New York state’s legislature on Wednesday passed a bill that would make it easier for U.S. congressional committees investigating President Donald Trump to get access to his state tax returns. The Democratic-controlled state Assembly and Senate voted along party lines on the measure, which would circumvent his refusal to hand over his federal tax returns to Congress. New York Republicans who opposed the bill called it an abuse of power that fed into the political designs of Democrats in Washington, the Albany Times-Union reported. It now goes to Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo for final approval. Trump has refused to release any of his tax returns, breaking a decades-long tradition of U.S. presidents making their personal finances public to demonstrate that they have no conflicts of interest. Although the bill does not name Trump, it allows the state Department of Taxation and Finance to share state tax return information with a congressional committee that requests it. Much of the information submitted in New York state tax returns is similar to that on federal forms. Trump and Democrats who control the U.S. House of Representatives are locked in a battle over their ability to investigate him.The president is stonewalling multiple congressional investigations by ignoring subpoenas, refusing to allow current and former advisers to testify, and not handing over documents. For example the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee requested Trump’s federal tax returns by subpoena but the request was denied by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Trump’s personal home and the headquarters for his business are in New York, requiring him to file state tax returns in addition to his federal returns.“New York has a unique role to help head off the constitutional crisis brewing between Congress and the White House over refusal to comply with the request for Donald Trump’s tax returns,” said the bill’s sponsor, Senator Brad Hoylman, according to the Times-Union. “We are affirming Congress’ role as a co-equal branch of government and the sacred constitutional principle that nobody is above the law, not even the highest elected official in the land.”

This story was updated 03/28/2019. It will be continually updated as we learn more. Porsche stunned the world two years ago with the debut of its all-electric Mission E sedan concept, later promising it'd go into production as the Taycan in 2020. The spy photos seen throughout this post provide an early look at a Taycan prototype testing in public near Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. Here's everything we know about this incredibly exciting car. Porsche Is Aiming for a Sub-Eight Minute Nürburgring Lap Porsche is letting loose a few more details as the months wind down until the Taycan is finally revealed. One that stuck out to us—the car should be capable of a sub-eight at the Nürburgring. Porsche hasn't done it yet, but its simulations indicate that it's possible. For a fun comparison, the Porsche 911 GT3 made headlines 20 years ago when it ran a 7:56 on the track—faster than any production road car yet. Progress is an electric luxury sedan being able to achieve the same feat. It Can Slide Over at Roadshow, Tim Stevens got to ride along in a near-production Taycan during winter testing way up north in Sweden. There was some sideways action. The Taycan has a version of Porsche Stability Management (PSM, that allows for some yaw in PSM Sport mode, and a lot of yaw when it's switched off. Stevens also reports that the top-spec Taycan he was riding in had a two-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential at the rear, which should make sliding on low-grip surfaces easier. It's Called the Taycan At first, we thought Porsche would just call this car the "Mission E," but the company has announced that won't be the case. It'll be called the Taycan, pronounced tie-con. It's a Eurasian word that translates, roughly, to "lively young horse." "Our new electric sports car is strong and dependable; it’s a vehicle that can consistently cover long distances and that epitomizes freedom," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said in a statement announcing the name.

North Korea denounced the United States as “a gangster country” for seizing one of its cargo ships and urged U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to take “urgent measures” to contribute to stabilizing the Korean peninsula. North Korea’s U.N. ambassador, Kim Song, said in a letter to Guterres obtained Monday by The Associated Press that the Trump administration committed “an unlawful and outrageous act” by taking over the ship Wise Honest and moving it to American Samoa. He called the seizure a violation of international law and the U.N. Charter. Kim called a news conference at U.N. headquarters on Tuesday to further criticize the ship’s seizure. The U.S. said on May 9 that it seized the ship because it was carrying coal in violation of U.N. sanctions, a first-of-its kind enforcement action that came amid a tense moment in relations with North Korea. The Wise Honest, North Korea’s second largest cargo ship, was first detained in April 2018 by Indonesia while transporting a large amount of coal. U.S. Justice Department lawyers laid out the case for confiscating the ship in a complaint filed in New York, arguing that payments for maintenance and operation of the vessel were channeled through unwitting U.S. financial institutions in violation of American law. North Korea’s coal trade itself is also believed to fund the isolated country’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs which the U.S. is seeking to eliminate. Last week, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency carried a statement by an unidentified foreign ministry spokesman who accused the United States of betraying the spirit of a summit agreement last June between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump. Kim Jong Un says North Korea needs to deliver a ‘blow’ against sanctioning countries — economically Kim and Trump agreed then to a vague statement calling for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and improved bilateral ties, but a second meeting between the leaders collapsed in February over mismatched demands in sanctions relief and disarmament. The U.S. announcement of the seizure of the Wise Honest came hours after North Korea fired two suspected short-range missiles toward the sea, the second weapons launch in five days and a possible signal that stalled talks over its nuclear weapons program are in trouble. The North Korean ambassador said in the letter to Guterres that “since international concern is growing more than ever over the likely impact to be brought to the situation of the Korean peninsula by the heinous act of the United States” in seizing the ship, the secretary-general should take “urgent measures” to stabilize the Korean peninsula. The letter did not specify what those measures should be.

- Registers sales of 2,492 units in March 2019. - Harrier has a waiting period of four months. Tata Motors has sold 2,492 units of the Harrier in India in March 2019. Interestingly, the SUV has outsold the Jeep Compass and Mahindra XUV500, which recorded sales of 1,441 and 1,916 units, respectively. The Tata Harrier has witnessed steady growth over the last couple of months with the company selling 1,449 units in February and 422 units in January. As of March 2019, Tata Motors is sitting on a pending order book of 10,000 bookings for the Harrier, which has resulted in a waiting period of four months. The lower number of dispatches in January and February were attributed to quality issues in the initial batches, which Tata Motors says, were rectified at the dealership level. The Tata Harrier is an enticing offering in the premium mid-size SUV segment, however, it has a few shortcomings as well. For instance, it misses out on essential features like auto day/night IRVM and an automatic option, while it also comes devoid of aspirational features like a sunroof and an AWD drive-train. Moreover, the alloy wheel design is too simple, and we would’ve appreciated a better two-tone design. As a reminder, the Harrier sources power from a Fiat-sourced 2.0-litre Multijet diesel motor that is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Tata Motors is readying a Hyundai-sourced six-speed torque converter automatic for the Harrier. However, it will be first introduced on the seven-seat version of the Harrier, which debuted as Tata Buzzard at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

7 April 2019, Apia – Hydroponics farming, recycling, organic catering, agro-forestry, eco tours and landscaping are some of the ‘green’ ideas that can potentially be converted into business ventures for households, community-based organisations, non-government organisations and existing businesses that are located within the Vaisigano River Catchment Area (VRCA). These new businesses will be funded under the Ecosystem-based Adaptation Enterprise Development Programme (EbAEDP), an activity under the Green Climate Fund Vaisigano Catchment Project (GCF-VCP). The EbAED will be implemented under the leadership of the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment (MNRE), in partnership with the Civil Society Support Programme (CSSP) and the Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC). CSSP and the SBEC have announced a Call for Proposals for EbAED, that aims to improve income generation and livelihoods of the targeted communities of the VRCA at the household level, as well as upgrading existing enterprise development activities without increasing the impact on the natural environment. “MNRE is pleased to pilot the EbAED programme in partnership with CSSP, SBEC, MCIL, MWCSD and MOF as part of Samoa’s GCF-funded Integrated Flood Management Programme aimed at increasing climate and disaster resilience of the Vaisigano Catchment communities and households; “The EbAED Programme is one of three ecosystem-based solutions currently being implemented, the other two being the pilot for the Payment for Ecosystem Services and Cash for Green Works Programme,” said Frances Reupena, Assistant Chief Executive Officer, Environment Sector Coordination Division, MNRE. MNRE is the lead implementing agency and responsible for the overall management of Output 2, Activity 2.2 of the GCF VCP. It is working collaboratively with CSSP and SBEC in organizing and delivering the public awareness campaign and workshop activities for the EbAEDP Call for Proposals and will guide and assist CSSP with the screening of proposals for viability checks. MNRE is also supporting the application process and provide business trainings and mentoring to successful applicants. Villages are encouraged to develop several business proposals, from the household level to businesses and NGOs, providing a diverse range of income generating activities and land uses. No cash grants are given under the programme but rather the procurement of goods and services to facilitate the establishment of the business activities that are directly relevant and meet the EbAED criteria. The respective partner agencies and ministries will monitor the performance of the EbA activities, including MNRE, Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, CSSP and SBEC, with support from specialized NGOs such as the Samoa Conservation Society. “CSSP has issued the Call for Proposals under the EbAEDP for those interested in participating, and provides support to interested participants through a designated Responsible Party for skills development. CSSP will screen the applications (with support from members of the MNRE TAG), sort them by Sector, Thematic Areas and Database Entry, and undertake the social and environmental screening using tailored versions of the screening templates developed by CSSP for CBOs and NGOs EbA-Enterprise Proposal screening,” said Christina Tauã, Programme Manager for CSSP. SBEC is supporting MNRE and CSSP in organizing public awareness campaigns and workshops for the Call for Proposals. “SBEC will lead in organizing Business and Financial Management workshops and assisting applicants interested in participating in the EbAEDP with the development and completion of proposals and applications to ensure the EbAs are financially and environmentally sustainable. SBEC will organize either independently or in partnership with the Ministry of Women Community and Social Development (MWCSD) sector support groups (business incubators) to assist beneficiaries and Responsible Parties and address challenges raised by interested groups,” said Alatina Ioelu, SBEC CEO. “The GCF VCP-Project Management Unit stands ready to support the MNRE, the lead IA, and the responsible partners – CSSP, SBEC, MAF and the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa in the effective and timely implementation of the EbAEDP Call, and approval of eligible enterprise development proposals that meet the EbAEDP eligibility criteria. This is a key programme under Output 2, Activity 2.2 of the GCF-VCP approved work plan, Samoa’s first GCF-funded project, valued at USD$65 million,” said Pisaina Leilua-Lei Sam, Project Manager, GCF VCP.

When the Mahindra XUV300 was launched in February this, the company had said that it will also offer the SUV with an AMT gearbox at a later date. Finally, the AMT version of the Mahindra XUV300 has been caught testing near Gurgaon. The car has been spotted wearing heavy camouflage and the badging is not visible. However, the next upcoming variant in the XUV300 range is the AMT and hence we can safely guess of it being tested. However, we are still not sure if the car that has been spotted testing is a petrol or diesel unit. That said, given that Mahindra is planning to introduce an AMT variant even in the Marazzo, the spotted model could be the diesel which is powered by the same 1.5-litre engine. The 1.5-litre engine develops a max output of115 bhp at 3750 rpm and 300 Nm of peak torque between 1500 - 2500 rpm. The petrol engine is a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged unit which churns out 110 bhp at 5000 rpm and 200 Nm of peak torque between 2000 - 3500 rpm. Mahindra recently had announced that the XUV300 has crossed the 26,000 bookings mark since its launch in February this year and it has become the second-highest selling subcompact SUV in India. Addition of an automatic variant should push the sales even further given that all the other models in the segment are offered with one and demand for automatic transmission has been growing. Highlights The Mahindra XUV300 spotted testing is likely to be a diesel variant. The 1.5-litre engine is likely to be mated with an AMT unit. It is expected to launch later in 2019.

No one was injured in the explosion, which happened early Tuesday, destroying a Greek journalist's car. A car belonging to a reporter was targeted by a bomb blast in northern Athens, affiliate Greece reported. The bomb exploded at around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday outside Mina Karamitrou's home in the northern Athens suburb of Papagou, according to Greece. No one was injured in the attack, but Karamitrou's car was destroyed. Karamitrou is a police reporter for Greece, a news organization that is editorially independent of Greece Editor-in-Chief Adamos Zachariadis said Karamitrou was at home at the time of the attack. Police have opened an investigation into what happened, he said. The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Greek authorities to ensure the safety of Karamitrou, to thoroughly investigate the bombing and to "hold those responsible to account." Free press 'non-negotiable' Greek government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos condemned the attack.

The attack was "unacceptable and reprehensible and the perpetrators will be held accountable," he added. In a tweet, Greek Minister of Civil Protection Olga Gerovasili said such attacks are "unequivocally reprehensible." Greece, in a statement posted online, said the bombing was "an attack on the entire journalistic world."
