The latest Audi A8 features even more advanced chassis, powertrain and in-car technology than the latest Mercedes S-Class including, when it’s switched on, the greatest capability for autonomous driving of any production car in the world. There’s a choice of turbocharged engines – a 282bhp diesel or 335bhp petrol – with four-wheel-drive as standard and a 48V electrical system that gives it mild hybrid status. The quality interior feels like it was built to outlast civilization itself, although it lacks the elegance and ambient warmth of the S-Class. The ride is smooth and the car is easy to drive, although it's not quite as pillowy and luxurious as its key German rival, and not quite the Mercedes' equal in the ways that matter most.

Kim Jong-un (officially transcribed Kim Jong Un; Chosŏn'gŭl: 김정은; Korean pronunciation: [kim.dzɔŋ.ɯn];[a] born 8 January 1984) is a North Korean politician serving as Supreme Leader of North Korea since 2011 and Leader of the Workers' Party of Korea since 2012. Kim is the second child of Kim Jong-il (1941–2011) and Ko Yong-hui (1952–2004).The grandson of Kim Il-sung, the first leader of North Korea from 1948 to 1994, he is the first North Korean leader to have been born after the country's founding.From late 2010, Kim Jong-un was viewed as heir apparent to the leadership of the DPRK, and following the elder Kim's death, he was announced as the "Great Successor" by North Korean state television. Kim holds the titles of Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (as First Secretary between 2012 and 2016), Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army,and member of the Presidium of the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea, the highest decision-making body in North Korea. Kim was promoted to the rank of Marshal of North Korea in the Korean People's Army on 18 July 2012, consolidating his position as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and is often referred to as Marshal Kim Jong-un, "the Marshal" or "Dear Respected" by state media. Kim obtained two degrees, one in physics at Kim Il-sung University, and another as an Army officer at the Kim Il-sung Military University. Forbes magazine ranked Kim the 46th most powerful person in the world in 2013 and the third highest amongst Koreans after Ban Ki-moon and Lee Kun-hee. On 12 December 2013, North Korean news outlets reported that Kim Jong-un had ordered the execution of his uncle Jang Song-thaek due to "treachery". On 9 March 2014, Kim was elected unopposed to the Supreme People's Assembly. He is widely believed to have ordered the assassination of his half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, in Malaysia in February 2017.Despite tense relations, North Korea agreed to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. Following the Olympics, Kim Jong-un and President Moon Jae-in conducted the April 2018 inter-Korean summit. It was the first time since the end of the Korean War in 1953 that a North Korean leader entered the South's territory. On 12 June 2018, Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump met for the 2018 North Korea–United States summit in Singapore, the first-ever talks held between a North Korean leader and a sitting US President, to discuss the North Korean nuclear program. Early Life Scarce information on Kim Jong-un's early life comes from North Korean defectors and people who have claimed to witness him abroad, such as during his school attendance in Switzerland. Some of the information has been conflicting and contradictory, perhaps confusing him with his brother, Kim Jong-chul, who also attended school in Switzerland around the same time. North Korean authorities and state-run media have stated that Kim's birth date was 8 January 1982,but South Korean intelligence officials believe the actual date is a year later. It is thought that Kim's official birth year was changed for symbolic reasons; 1982 marks 70 years after the birth of his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, and 40 years after the official birth of his father Kim Jong-il. The US Treasury Department lists Kim Jong-un's official birthdate as 8 January 1984. Former basketball star Dennis Rodman said that this was Kim's birth date after meeting in September 2013 in North Korea. Kim Jong-Un was the second of three children Ko Yong-hui bore to Kim Jong-il; his elder brother Kim Jong-chul was born in 1981, while his younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, is believed to have been born in 1987. According to reports first published in Japanese newspapers, he went to school in Switzerland near Bern. First reports claimed he attended the private English-language International School in Gümligen under the name "Chol-pak" or "Pak-chol" from 1993 to 1998.He was described as shy, a good student who got along well with his classmates and was a basketball fan. He was chaperoned by an older student, who was thought to be his bodyguard.Later, it was reported that Kim Jong-un attended the Liebefeld Steinhölzli state school in Köniz near Bern under the name "Pak-un" or "Un-pak" from 1998 until 2000 as the son of an employee of the North Korean embassy in Bern. Authorities of Köniz confirmed that a student from North Korea, registered as the son of a member of the embassy, attended the school from August 1998 until the autumn of 2000, but were unable to give details about his identity. Pak-un first attended a special class for foreign-language children and later attended the regular classes of the 6th, 7th, 8th, and part of the final 9th year, leaving the school abruptly in the autumn of 2000. He was described as a well-integrated and ambitious student who liked to play basketball. However, his grades and attendance rating are reported to have been poor.The ambassador of North Korea in Switzerland, Ri Chol, had a close relationship with him and acted as a mentor.One of Pak-un's classmates told reporters that he had told him that he was the son of the leader of North Korea.According to some reports, Kim was described by classmates as a shy child who was awkward with girls and indifferent to political issues, but who distinguished himself in sports and had a fascination with the American National Basketball Association and Michael Jordan. One friend claimed that he had been shown pictures of Pak-un with Kobe Bryant and Toni Kukoč. In April 2012, new documents came to light indicating that Kim Jong-un had lived in Switzerland since 1991 or 1992, earlier than previously thought. The Laboratory of Anatomic Anthropology at the University of Lyon, France, after comparing the picture of the boy Pak-un taken at the Liebefeld Steinhölzli school in 1999 with a picture of Kim Jong-un from 2012 came to the conclusion that the two faces show a conformity of 95%. The head of the institute, Raoul Perrot, a forensic anthropologist, considers it most likely that the two pictures show the same person. It is believed that the student at the Gümligen International School may not have been Kim Jong-un, but his elder brother Kim Jong-chul. It is not known whether the student known as Pak-un in Liebefeld Steinhölzli lived in Switzerland prior to 1998.All the children of Kim Jong-il are said to have lived in Switzerland, as well as the mother of the two youngest sons, who lived in Geneva for some time. Most analysts agree that Kim Jong-un attended Kim Il-sung University, a leading officer-training school in Pyongyang, from 2002 to 2007. In late February 2018, Reuters reported that Kim and his father had used forged passports—supposedly issued by Brazil and dated 26 February 1996—to apply for visas in various countries. Both 10-year passports carry a stamp saying "Embassy of Brazil in Prague". Kim Jong-un's passport records the name "Josef Pwag" and a date of birth of 1 February 1983. For many years, only one confirmed photograph of him was known to exist outside North Korea, apparently taken in the mid-1990s, when he was eleven.Occasionally other supposed images of him surfaced but were often disputed. It was only in June 2010, shortly before he was given official posts and publicly introduced to the North Korean people, that more pictures were released of Kim, taken when he was attending school in Switzerland. The first official image of him as an adult was a group photograph released on 30 September 2010, at the end of the party conference that effectively anointed him, in which he is seated in the front row, two places from his father. This was followed by newsreel footage of him attending the conference.

The courts in Canada are grappling with a decision central to the relationship between Canadian and traditional indigenous laws. The dispute involves the construction of a multi-billion dollar gas pipeline in the province of British Columbia. It's a project which has exposed a rift between elected and hereditary chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en people, who disagree about whether to allow the pipeline to be built through traditional lands. The elected councils have jurisdiction within the boundaries of the reservations to administer federal government legislation, but not the wider traditional territory which the pipeline would pass through. The hereditary chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en nation are stewards and protecters of 22,000 square km (13,670 square miles) of traditional territory, outside the reservations. They are concerned about the impact of the project on their land and natural resources. Hereditary Chief Na'Moks of the Tsayu clan, which is part of the Wet'suwet'en people, told the BBC: "You always have to put the environment first." So what's behind the dispute, and who have the courts favoured?

Metroid Prime 4 is an upcoming first person action-adventure game developed by Retro Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. A part of the Metroid series, it will be the fourth main installment in the Metroid Prime series and a sequel to 2007's Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Announced at E3 2017 and rumored to be under the development of Bandai Namco Studios, progress on Prime 4 was later scrapped and restarted in January 2019, and is being handled by Retro Studios alongside producer Kensuke Tanabe. Development The game was briefly revealed by Nintendo on June 13, 2017, during their E3 2017 online showcase, showing only an image of the game's logo. A short while after the announcement, Bill Trinen, director of marketing at Nintendo of America, had confirmed that Prime 4 would not be developed by Retro Studios, the studio that originally developed the Metroid Prime series, but would still be headed by producer of the first three games in the series, Kensuke Tanabe.Throughout late 2017, it was rumored that development would instead be headed by Bandai Namco Studios in Singapore, which was later confirmed by Eurogamer in early 2018.On several occasions during 2018, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé had stated that Metroid Prime 4 was "well into development" and "proceeding well". Despite this, however, Nintendo announced that the game would not show up at E3 2018, and would only share more information on it once they believed they "had something that would wow people".In a video released on January 25, 2019, Nintendo EPD general manager Shinya Takahashi announced that Metroid Prime 4 would be delayed, and its development had been restarted from scratch, with original series developer Retro Studios returning to develop the game. Takahashi stated that the development progress on the game did not meet Nintendo's standards and the company had decided to re-examine and change the development structure.Nintendo's shares fell by 2.8 percent the week following the delay announcement.

Intel’s Core i9 processor is what happens when Intel begins to worry that it might not have the baddest chip on the block. If you’re desperate to know how it performs against AMD’s Threadripper, you’re in luck—as of Sept. 25, we’ve tested the 18-core Core i9-7980X and the 16-core Core i9-7960XE! Read on for the speeds, feeds, prices, and reviews of the new Core i9 chips, as well as all the details we have on the underlying technologies. In addition to the new Core i9 specs, we now know how the Core i9 performs as part of our review, and the price and availability of X299 motherboards. We’ll update this post with new information and testing as we receive it. Latest News We put the both the 18-core Core i9-7980X and 16-core Core i9-7960X to the test, and the results are in: The i9-7980X is top dog, unquestionably. Yes, AMD Ryzen Threadripper fans can be content that those chips cost about $1,000 less, but in both multiple- and single-threaded performance, the i9-7980X comes out on top. One point the review emphasized is to consider to what purpose you’re putting these chips. The Core i9’s massive core count makes it ideal for “multitasking” ( such as playing, recording, and streaming a game) or content creation. Otherwise, Threadripper offers a much more competitive solution. And, if you haven’t guessed it already, that rounds out the Core i9 product family; all are now currently shipping. That includes the Core i9-7920X, which was slightly delayed. Now, however, you can buy the Core i9-7920X at Amazon for $1304.96—about $200 or so over the shipping price. Basic specs: Clock speed, core count, prices, ship date, power The processor specs that matter most concern performance. The raw clock speed determines how fast any one thread can be acted upon, while the core and thread counts control how many threads or tasks can be calculated in parallel. The Core i9 series excels in these metrics. But you’ll pay a hefty premium for that talent. Finally, Intel has announced all of the clock speeds of the Core i9 family. They’re all unlocked, too—ready and waiting to be overclocked. Here’s a summary of the core counts and prices of the Core i9 chips we do know, including clock speeds where available. Core i9 Extreme Edition Core i9-7980XE: (2.6GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 18 cores/36 threads, $1,999 Core i9 Core i9-7960X: (2.8GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 16 cores/32 threads, $1,699 Core i9-7940X: (3.1GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 14 cores/28 threads, $1,399 Core i9-7920X: (3.1GHz, 4.4GHz burst) 12 cores/24 threads, $1,199 Core i9-7900X: (3.3GHz, 4.5GHz burst) 10 cores/20 threads, $999

Battlefield V is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. Battlefield V is the sixteenth installment in the Battlefield series. It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 20, 2018.Pre-release reception of the game was mixed, with the announcement trailer causing backlash from fans of the series for the degree of historical inaccuracy and the inclusion of female soldiers. Upon release,Battlefield V received generally favourable reviews from critics, being praised for its gameplay but criticized for its shortage of content at launch and lack of innovation. The game sold 7.3 million copies by the end of 2018 but was a commercial disappointment for Electronic Arts. Gameplay: Battlefield V will focus extensively on party-based features and mechanics, scarcity of resources, and removing "abstractions" from game mechanics to increase realism.There will be an expanded focus on player customization through the new Company system, where players will be able to create multiple characters with various cosmetic and weapon options. Cosmetic items, and currency used to purchase others, will be earned by completing in-game objectives.The game will feature several new multiplayer modes, including the "continuous" campaign mode "Tides of War", "Firestorm", and "Grand Operations". The Grand Operations mode is an expansion of the "Operations" mode introduced in Battlefield 1, which focuses on matches taking place across multiple stages to simulate a campaign from the war. In Grand Operations, each round will have specific objectives, and performance in each stage will influence the next. Games will culminate with a "Final Stand", with players using only a primary weapon with limited ammo, and no respawns. Similarly to Battlefield 1, the game will feature a collection of single-player "war stories" based on aspects of World War II.The game also features a cooperative mode not seen since Battlefield 3 called "Combined Arms", where four players can undertake missions together and features dynamic missions and objectives so missions cannot be played the same way each time. Combined Arms is scheduled to be released after launch.The Battle Royale mode will be built around the franchise's "core pillars of destruction, team play, and vehicles". The name "Firestorm" is derived from a literal storm of fire that engulfs players similar to the po[CENSORED]r Battle Royale game mechanic of restricting the play area. Furthermore, this particular game mode is not being developed by EA DICE themselves, but has been outsourced to Criterion Games and features the biggest map created by the franchise to date. It is playable by 64 players, which are divided into up to 16 squads with a focus on team work.[citation needed] Firestorm is scheduled to be released in March 2019.

When Mercedes-Benz sets out to make a new S-Class, the brief is to make the best car in the world. While it might not visually seduce like a Jaguar XJ, the big Merc offers an ownership experience that should be even more appealing. This car does what it’s supposed to do superbly and is functionally exceptional. It was conceived as a long-wheelbase saloon, giving it unprecedented torsional rigidity, and the ride is helped by standard air suspension with adaptive dampers. There’s a choice of three petrol and one diesel engine, with a nine-speed automatic ‘box standard equipment and advanced 48v hybrid electric powertrain technology used to boost both performance and efficiency in some derivatives. The S-Class is engineered to operate quietly and comfortably at all times. On both town roads and motorway it could hardly ride better, and it steers directly and precisely, with luxury-appropriate isolation. OUR VERDICT Mercedes-Benz S-Class The self-proclaimed 'best car in the world' gets a touch more luxury, a heap of new technology and a mild hybrid electrical system, but is it enough to hold off the latest attempts from BMW and Audi?

Justin Trudeau, in full Justin Pierre James Trudeau, (born December 25, 1971, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), Canadian politician, prime minister of Canada (2015– ), leader of the Liberal Party (2013– ), and son of four-term prime minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau. Early life style and Start in Politics Justin Trudeau’s Christmas-night birth to Canada’s first couple was the opening act in a life lived largely in the public eye. When Trudeau was six years old, his parents divorced, and his mother, Margaret (29 years younger than her husband, daughter of Liberal MP James Sinclair, and target of rumours that she had had romances with rock stars and other celebrities), moved out. As a result, Trudeau and his two younger brothers were raised by a single father who also led his country for 15 years (1968–79; 1980–84). After studying at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, the same private French Jesuit school in Montreal that his father had attended, Trudeau earned a B.A. in English from McGill University (1994). He then worked as a snowboard instructor while earning a degree in education from the University of British Columbia (B.Ed., 1998). Thereafter he taught high-school French and elementary-school math in Vancouver. In 2000, at age 28, he delivered an eloquent, moving eulogy at his father’s funeral that thrust him again into the national spotlight. After returning to Quebec in 2002, Trudeau began and then abandoned engineering studies at the University of Montreal. He also pursued but did not complete an M.A. in environmental geography at McGill. In the meantime, he worked at a Montreal radio station, for which he covered the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, had a role in the television miniseries The Great War (2007), and was an unpaid spokesman for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. Perhaps most significantly, he served as the chairman of the board of directors of Katimavik (2002–06), the national youth volunteer organization established by his father in 1977. Soon after Trudeau delivered his father’s eulogy, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien let it be known that there was a place for him in the Liberal Party. After being courted to stand for Parliament by Liberal leader Stéphane Dion, in 2008 Trudeau ran for and won the seat representing Papineau, an ethnically diverse riding in Montreal that Trudeau had chosen over a safer seat to prove he could win an uphill battle rather than coasting on his father’s name. In 2011, even as the Liberals flopped—falling from the official opposition to the third party, with only 34 seats—Trudeau was elected. He acted as party spokesman on youth and multiculturalism, citizenship and immigration, and amateur sports, among other areas. Handsome, youthful, and charismatic, Trudeau was seen by many as the Liberals’ best hope to lead them back to prominence. In 2013, after mounting an exhaustive campaign, he won the party leadership, trouncing a crowded field in an online and phone-in vote in which Trudeau captured nearly 80 percent of the more than 100,000 votes cast. Almost immediately, Conservatives sought to define him as an intellectual lightweight with a pretty face and a famous name who was ill prepared to lead Canada. Yet Trudeau appeared to be preparing for the 2015 general election fight with the same scrappy determination that brought him an unexpected underdog victory in a high-profile charity boxing match against Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau in March 2012. The Liberal leader Trudeau traversed a slippery slope in May 2015 during the debate and voting on Bill C-51, which was aimed at strengthening existing antiterrorism legislation and expanding the surveillance powers of Canadian security forces in the wake of the separate terrorist attacks in October 2014, in which soldiers were attacked in a Quebec parking lot and at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Opponents of the bill said that it violated civil liberties. Trudeau drew criticism from some corners for saying that he opposed the bill even as he voted for it so that a “no” vote could not be used against him later politically by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper. From the very start of the 2015 federal election campaign in early August, Harper sought to portray Trudeau as “not ready” to lead the country. Trudeau was chided early in the campaign by some for empty sloganeering when he suggested that the economy should be grown not from the top down but “from the heart outwards.” However, Trudeau deftly positioned himself to the left of Thomas Mulcair, the leader of the traditionally leftist New Democratic Party (NDP), by arguing that three years of deficit spending would be necessary to finance spending on infrastructure improvements for the good of society and the economy, whereas Mulcair occupied the more-centrist position of saying that any expansion to social programs would be dependent on achieving a balanced budget. At one time or another all three major parties held the lead in opinion polling, with the NDP on top early in a close three-way race that shifted into a duel between the Conservatives and the Liberals. In the final weeks of the campaign, several polls showed the Liberals with a widening lead that reflected the electorate’s warming to the charismatic Trudeau, who had run a rock-solid campaign and performed well in the debates. Indeed, as the enthusiasm swelled at campaign gatherings, some pundits began to talk about the advent of “Trudeaumania,” which manifested itself as a surprising landslide victory for the Liberals. Not only had Trudeau led the party to a win and back to relevance, but he had also secured a 184-seat majority in the process, as the Liberals took 39.5 percent of the total vote against about 32 percent for the Conservatives and about 20 percent for the NDP.
