Hagia Sophia: Former Istanbul museum welcomes Muslim worshippers Crowds gathered in Istanbul as the historic Hagia Sophia site opened for Friday prayers for the first time since Turkish authorities ruled it could be converted into a mosque. "Muslims are excited, everyone wants to be at the opening," Istanbul Governor Ali Yerlikaya said on Thursday. The 1,500-year-old Unesco World Heritage site became a museum in 1934. But a Turkish court annulled its status, saying any use other than as a mosque was "not possible legally". The decision to turn it back into a mosque was criticised by religious and political leaders worldwide. But President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded quickly to the July ruling, vowing that the world-famous site would be ready for Friday prayers from 24 July, and he was seen joining worshippers at around midday (09:00 GMT). About 1,000 people were allowed in through security checkpoints, while others laid out prayer mats outside. Hagia Sophia was built as an Orthodox Christian cathedral and first converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest nine centuries later. While there was considerable excitement as crowds headed to the Unesco site, not everyone was happy. The secular opposition party that runs Istanbul has described the move to turn it back into a mosque after 86 years as political rather than religious. In pictures: Hagia Sophia opens for Muslim worship In neighbouring Greece, which was marking the anniversary of the restoration of democracy in 1974, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis conveyed a message of sorrow to millions of Greek Orthodox Christians. Hagia Sophia's change of status by Turkey was not a show of power, but evidence of weakness, he declared. Outside Hagia Sophia By Neyran Elden, BBC Turkish Tens of thousands of men and women waited for the call to prayer - many had travelled from cities across Turkey. Worshippers took their places on the grass or on the pavement. The lucky ones found shade under a tree. Security was tight across the historic peninsula of Istanbul, and at one point dozens of worshippers broke through a police checkpoint. A group of men waved Turkish flags and chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest). There was only space inside Hagia Sophia for 1,000 people at a time While a significant section of Turkish society has criticised the change to a mosque, the emotion and enthusiasm outside it was palpable. A 45-year-old woman said she had always liked Hagia Sophia as a museum, but "always thought it was a cold building". Now was the moment for Turkey to reinforce its independence, she added. "We have been waiting for this moment since our childhood." What was it like inside? In a televised address on Thursday, Governor Yerlikaya urged those attending prayers on Friday to bring "[face] masks, a prayer rug, patience and understanding" to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. He added that healthcare workers would be made available at the site. Inside, a turquoise carpet had been laid on the floor to prepare for prayers and Christian relics were covered up with white drapes or obscured by lighting. Scaffolding was erected inside the dome as builders scrambled to convert the interior of the ancient building. By Friday the scaffolding was largely covered by red panelling. Among the Christian mosaics expected to be obscured during Muslim prayer was the 9th-Century mosaic of the Virgin Mary and Jesus inside the apse. Why was Erdogan's move controversial? Islamist groups and devout Muslims in Turkey had long called for Hagia Sophia to become a mosque again, but secular opposition members opposed the move. When President Erdogan announced the decision on 10 July, it was met with widespread criticism. Pope Francis responded by saying that his "thoughts go to Istanbul", adding: "I think of Santa Sophia and I am very pained." The head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, Patriarch Bartholomew I, warned that the conversion of the building would "disappoint millions of Christians" and fracture two worlds. The World Council of Churches, a worldwide Christian organisation, warned the decision would sow division. Unesco said it regretted the move, which further enflamed tensions with neighbouring Greece, home to millions of Orthodox followers. Why tensions have flared between Turkey and Greece Erdogan: Turkey's pugnacious president But Mr Erdogan stressed that the country had exercised its sovereign right. "After 86 years, Hagia Sophia will serve as a mosque again, in the way Fatih the conqueror of Istanbul had indicated in his deed," he said. He added that the building would remain open to all Muslims, non-Muslims and foreign visitors. Many Turks were sceptical. A former Erdogan ally, Ali Babacan, said Hagia Sophia had "come to the agenda now only to cover up other problems". Novelist Orhan Pamuk told the BBC earlier this month that converting it back to a mosque was a statement to the world that Turks did not want to be secular any more, even though millions of Turks had been happy with its status as a museum. Kemal Ataturk changed... Hagia Sophia from a mosque to a museum, honouring all previous Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic history, making it as a sign of Turkish modern secularism The head of the secular Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said that all the president was concerned with was domestic politics. And a July opinion poll suggested 43% of Turks saw the move as a way of avoiding discussion of the country's economic difficulties. What's the history? The iconic, domed building sits in Istanbul's Fatih district, on the west bank of the Bosporus, overlooking the Golden Horn harbour. Hagia Sophia's complex history began almost 1,500 years ago, when Byzantine emperor Justinian built the huge church in the year 537. In 1453, in a devastating blow to the Byzantines, Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II captured Istanbul (formerly known as Constantinople) and Hagia Sophia - an Orthodox Christian cathedral - was converted into a mosque for Friday prayers. Four minarets were added to the exterior, while ornate Christian icons and gold mosaics were covered with panels of Arabic religious calligraphy. After centuries at the heart of the Muslim Ottoman empire, it was turned into a museum in 1934 in a drive to make Turkey more secular. It has since become one of its most po[CENSORED]r tourist sites, receiving more than 3.7 million visitors last year. Although it has had a small prayer room since 1991, and calls to the faithful have been heard before, Friday's event is the first mass prayers inside the site since the 1930s.

Coronavirus: Amsterdam wants nothing to do with Europe’s tourism revival, asks visitors to keep away Europeans are free to travel again, but Amsterdam’s mayor is anxiously telling visitors to stay away. The return of crowds meandering through the city’s narrow streets could spark a new wave of infections, putting local officials in the unusual position of actively trying to keep people from visiting. “If you want to come, then think twice about it,” Femke Halsema said in an interview in the garden of her 17th century mayor’s office on Thursday. “The tourists who are coming to Amsterdam at the moment I want to say quite urgently: avoid the busy places, avoid the weekend.” Amsterdam has been struggling with crowds since cheaper flights made the city’s historic center a po[CENSORED]r weekend destination. Before coronavirus lockdowns, its renowned red-light district, marijuana shops and picturesque canals attracted over 1 million visitors a month -- more than its permanent po[CENSORED]tion. The reputation as Europe’s party town strained resources and pushed locals out of the center. The pandemic adds a public-health element to Amsterdam’s tourism backlash. “Corona and mass tourism just don’t go together -- certainly not in a historic city center like in Amsterdam,” said Halsema. “There is a risk of contamination,” as a large increase in tourists means that it’s no longer possible to maintain social-distancing rules. A recent influx of visitors prompted the Amsterdam government last Saturday to close several streets in the narrow alleys where scantily-clad prostitutes pose in brothel windows. It put up signs on the po[CENSORED]r Dam square to warn people of the danger of spreading the disease, advising them to maintain a distance of at least 1.5 meters (5 feet). In an effort to limit risky behavior, one-way walking lanes have been implemented and parts of the red-light district can be closed. Shops in the dense 500-year-old center will be banned from selling alcohol from Thursdays to Sundays starting this weekend and until at least Sept. 1. While new infections remain low compared to the height of the pandemic, cases doubled last week, Dutch health agency RIVM said on Tuesday, warning that the disease is spreading again. Halsema pointed the finger at young people from neighboring countries looking for a cheap thrill without adding much to the local economy. More broadly, the backsliding on rules designed to thwart infections is cause for concern. “In general, you see all over Europe that people are increasingly not caring about social distancing,” Amsterdam’s first female mayor said. “That is really very worrying.” (This story has been published from a wire agency feed without modifications to the text.

Friday Fix: Autocar's best of the week As the working week draws to a close, you no doubt want to catch up with everything that has happened in the world of motoring over the past few days. So we’re bringing you our favourite videos, stories, photos and quotes of the week all in one place. Here are today’s picks: After several setbacks and a series of false starts, it looks like the team reviving Britain's lost TVR brand now has a hope of bringing the V8-powered Griffith sports car to market. We met with bosses Les Edgar and Jim Berriman to hear their 18-month plan to get off the ground for good, and to find out what could follow the long-awaited flagship. "They don't make 'em like they used to", or so the saying goes. But can that really be true of Renault's feisty Nurburgring-attacking Megane RS hot hatch flagships? We pit the new Megane RS 300 Trophy R against its R26R and 275 Trophy R to see how exceptionally they perform on the road, and which does it best. PHOTO OF THE WEEK The new, third-generation Bentley Flying Spur certainly looks the part, but with more to prove than ever before, can the four-door sibling to the brilliant Continental GT prove itself worthy of a five-star road test verdict? We put the £170,000 luxury cruiser through its paces to see if it can sustain one of Britain's best-loved car brands through one of its most difficult periods yet. Bentley Flying Spur road test QUOTE OF THE WEEK "There was a perception that much of what we planned was aesthetic, but the way the car drives, feels, goes, stops and sounds is actually where a lot of our efforts have been focused." The Vanquish 25, the debut model from ex-Jaguar designer Ian Callum's new Callum design group, might look near-identical to the original Vanquish, but its developers are confident its worth the extra £400,000 outlay. Beyond the altered styling, tweaks include a lowered ride, widened track and bespoke tyres in the name of 'fixing' Callum's original design for the car. Ian Callum's Vanquish 25: production version revealed FROM THE ARCHIVE As well as being one of the most visually stunning cars on the market, the Cosmo coupé was the first model Mazda sold in the UK. And what's more, it was also propelled by a revolutionary type of powertrain that's now become inexorably linked with the Japanese manufacturer: the rotary wankel. We look back to 1968, when we got behind the wheel of the two-seater that "handled like a Porsche". Back to top Throwback Thursday: 1968 Mazda 110S first drive PO[CENSORED]R OPINION Why has Renault re-signed F1 legend Fernando Alonso over the up-and-coming Formula 2 talent already on its books? The 39-year-old, having spent two years away from the grid and not won a GP since 2013, will take Daniel Ricciardo's vacant seat next year, which seems like a controversial choice, but at the end of the day, Renault really has to start winning again.

@myCro ? I have thought a lot and at this time I have one idea and it may be almost related to the GOG project and the idea is to make patrols or tournaments for different games, for example for cs1.6 or CSGO or Call Of duty or other game and of course to coordinate that is a vote for any game that the person wants to participate in with Knowing that voting will take place every week or two until the end of the game championship that occurs at that time, and the teams will be formed based on the number of participants, they may be: - 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 .........etc. Several games such as the quarter-finals or semi-finals and the final will be filmed only and will be shared on YouTube, which will make fans of challenges for several games enter our forum and participate in these tournaments and of course when new users come to our forum and the prizes that may be offered by VIP free with the help of Administour or give DC or some The beautiful medals will be composed of three mattresses. What developed this idea in my mind is the idea of this project :- With the help of our designers and the team of this project, great videos will be made with attractive effects and uploaded to a channel that is dedicated to the forum, and ads will be made before the start of the tournament, which will allow YouTube followers to register and enter these battles. The first tournament will be held if this idea is done lightly inside the forum, meaning that the participants are our comrades on the forum, and then we will raise the tournament to YouTube and announce the tournament that will come later with the date for registration, when the registration ends and when the tournament begins and all related matters. I know that it is almost a crazy idea and it looks like the impossible idea, but if we all cooperate, that is, if two projects cooperate together and be a joint project, the work will be wonderful and amazing, and there is no harm in trying always, so the basis for success is trying.

Happy Bithday my love ❤️❤️❤️

Ukraine hostage crisis: Lutsk siege ends after president's bizarre video The man was arrested after a siege lasting several hours A stand-off in Ukraine has ended with security forces freeing 10 hostages from a bus in the city of Lutsk and detaining the gunman, after a bizarre intervention by the president. Pictures showed the gunman lying on the ground after his arrest. Just before the man's arrest, President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a short video to comply with one of his demands, saying the words: "Everyone should watch the 2005 film Earthlings." All the hostages are unharmed. The man has been named by police as Maksym Kryvosh, 44, who has previous convictions. He had originally been holding 13 people but released three after talks with Mr Zelensky. "Lutsk. Everyone is okay," Interior Minister Arsen Avakov tweeted (in Russian) following the end of the siege. Skip Twitter post by @AvakovArsen Луцк. Все целы! pic.twitter.com/ivB4u6sQEH — Arsen Avakov (@AvakovArsen) July 21, 2020 Report End of Twitter post by @AvakovArsen Mr Avakov was in Lutsk to lead negotiations with the gunman. What was the president's role in the stand-off? Mr Zelensky held talks with the hostage-taker, which his spokeswoman Yuliya Mendel said had led to the release of the first three hostages. The president then posted a brief video on his Facebook page in which he said in Russian the words: "Everyone should watch the 2005 film Earthlings." One of the demands of the hostage-taker had been for the president to encourage people to watch the 2005 Hollywood-made animal rights documentary. Shortly afterwards, Mr Avakov announced the end of the siege, and Mr Zelensky deleted the video. The gunman released three of the hostages before the siege was ended The film, narrated by Hollywood star Joaquin Phoenix, won several minor festival awards. It shows, sometimes with hidden cameras, the practices of major world industries which rely on animals. How did the siege develop? The siege began at about 09:00 local time (06:00 GMT). At one point the hostage-taker fired shots and threw explosives which did not detonate. His demands included one that senior politicians state publicly that they were terrorists. Officers of the counter-terrorism SBU security services surrounded the bus, and several hours of tense stand-off and negotiations ensued. Kryvosh has several convictions for fraud and illegal handling of weapons According to the prosecutor general's office, the gunman said he had placed an explosive device in a public place in the city that could be detonated remotely. Police cordoned off the city centre and told residents not to leave their homes or offices. It was not clear whether any device was found. However, Mr Avakov later confirmed that Kryvosh had several functioning firearms and genuinely posed a threat. "A lengthy prison sentence awaits him," he told journalists. Officials said Kryvosh had previously spent around 10 years in prison on convictions including fraud and the illegal handling of weapons.

Exploring neighbourhoods can be as satisfying as travelling abroad, study finds Doing new things and getting new experiences is the key, so if you have a dog, take it to a new park, or a new locality. (Source: Getty/Thinkstock) While this may seem surprising to some, especially those who love to travel, but a recent research has found that there is as much joy in exploring your neighbourhood as there is in visiting a new country. International travel may be off-limits for now, given the circumstances, but that should not stop you from exploring and finding out new things about your immediate surroundings. In fact, the research says, it could be a thrilling experience! The study has been published in Nature Neuroscience, and it says there is joy in exploring any location, even if that is around the corner from where you live. For the research, the team tracked the movements of more than 100 people residing in New York and Miami in the US, over the course of a few months. It was found that those people who had new and diverse experiences on a regular basis showed increase in the levels of happiness, along with other such positive emotions. ALSO READ | Looking for a quick vacation? Check out these hotel deals To put simply, these experiences do not have to be about travelling long distances, and they certainly do not have to be elaborate either. The research says the key is to find yourself in different locations on a daily basis. “Using geolocation tracking, experience sampling and neuro-imaging, we found that daily variability in physical location was associated with increased positive effect in humans,” the researchers were quoted as saying. ALSO READ | Work-from-home just shifted to the hills So, if you are someone who does not go out every day, or goes out but to the local supermarket only, the findings of this research can help. You have to understand that you must not limit yourself to visiting one place only. In lockdown, people may be undergoing many different emotions, and travelling can help. Just make sure there is some variety in your movement. This could mean you can step and explore a previously-unexplored part of your neighbourhood. Doing new things and getting new experiences is the key, so if you have a dog, take it to a new park, or a new locality. Alternatively, if there is not much space to go out and explore, you can pick up a new book and sit in a corner of your house to read it. Whatever you do, make sure you are safe.

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo: electric estate spied testing The upcoming Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo has been spotted undergoing on-road testing for the first time. Disguised prototypes of Porsche's second electric model have previously been spied testing at the Nürburgring, and being put though their paces near the arctic circle as part of winter testing. These latest images give us our best look yet at the rugged estate, which is set to join the German brand's line-up in 2021. This latest test mule gives us a clearer look at the rear windowline and rear-end shape, as well as a front end that appears to share a strong likeness with that of the Taycan saloon. Beyond the trailing edge of the front doors, however, the Taycan Cross Turismo receives a unique appearance, as with the Panamera and Panamera Sport Turismo. Among the styling elements differentiating the Taycan Cross Turismo from the four-door Taycan are a longer roof and a steeper-angled tailgate, both aimed at providing it with greater load space. This latest prototype is also sporting roof rails, which should allow for even more practicality, while plastic wheel arch edging promises extra protection. The production version of the new model builds on the Mission E Cross Turismo concept revealed at the 2018 Geneva motor show. The added ground clearance of the concept, intended to provide the car with moderate off-road ability in combination with four-wheel drive, appears to be making its way into the production version. In all other respects, it will be identical to the Taycan saloon, with the choice of three power outputs – and more likely to be on the way. The range will kick off with the 523bhp 4S, with a 671bhp Turbo and 751bhp Turbo S also offered. Expect a low four-figure price increase for the Taycan Cross Turismo. Given the model's rugged nature, it seems unlikely that a rear-wheel-drive-only base model will join the line-up, as with the China-only RWD Taycan. In an industry first, Porsche’s Tesla Model S rival has been engineered to support an 800V charging system. An 80% recharge is therefore claimed to be possible in “less than 15 minutes”. As with the Taycan saloon, the estate will be produced on a new dedicated line at Porsche’s headquarters in Zuffenhausen, on the outskirts of Stuttgart, Germany.

Panama: Seven young people killed on trip to Gatún Lake Police in Panama are investigating the killing of seven young people whose bodies were found in a wooded area near a lake on Saturday. The victims - four women and three men aged between 17 and 22 - were found near Gatún Lake, 50 miles (80km) north of the capital, Panama City. They had been in a group of 13 making a trip to the lake. The six who escaped said two armed men had attacked them. One person has been arrested, according to the public prosecutor's office. What is known? The bodies were found in a wooded area called Espinar in Colón province. Five of the bodies were in an abandoned bunker and two in separate locations in the woods. Forensic tests reveal that all of them had gunshot wounds to the head, local media report. The group of 13 youngsters - nine from Colón province and four who were visiting from Panama City - left on Friday morning to go swimming in Gatún Lake. Their families went to the police to raise the alarm when they had not returned home by Friday night. Relatives and locals searching for the missing youngsters came across the bodies on Saturday. The bunker where five of the bodies were located is a remnant from the time when the US Southern Command had bases in Panama. What happened? The surviving six described being attacked by two gunmen. A survivor said that one of the gunman had called one of those who was later killed by his name, which has led investigators to assume that the attack was not random. All of those killed lived in the same area in Colón called Valle Verde. The suspect under arrest comes from that same area. While some locals pointed out that the bunker had in the past been used by dealers to sell drugs, investigators have said that the victims had no known links to drugs or gangs but that they were a group of school and university students. Prosecutor Adolfo Pineda has revealed little detail about the lines of inquiry. He told reporters that it was "a shocking occurrence from all points of view". Investigators took five of the six survivors to the crime scene on Sunday to try and reconstruct what happened.

A sari loyalist, the actor looked lovely in the simple cotton sari which she teamed with a contrasting blouse, and completed the look with kohl and a small bindi. Divulging more details about the sari, she wrote, “The saree is a Korvai Kora Cotton, woven in the district of Coimbatore. Textured body of the saree with zari borders in contrast colours are a trademark of the humble weave. The handwoven saree gets softer with each wear. Bought at a small exhibition in Coimbatore, our country has exceptional skill at the grassroots.” Check out the pictures below: Prior to this, she was in a fuchsia cotton outfit from Urvashi Kaur.

The Autocar guide to your first electric car The time has come for electric cars. Lockdown has eased and because of that we’re seeing a rapid acceleration in demand for new cars — along with a determination in many a keen owner’s mind that perhaps this is a time to take a new view of life, and concentrate on what really matters. For many of us, that means making a well-informed and far-sighted decision about what our new car should be. Do we stick with the same, safe internal combustion choices, or embrace the future with an EV. We know it’s coming: why not do it now? Even before the arrival of Covid-19, 2020 was always going to be a big year for EV sales. The biggest European car manufacturers must this year begin reducing the fleet average CO2 tailpipe emissions of their cars to 95g/km, and selling a decent number of zero-emission EVs is a good way to do that. And now electric car supply is rising fast. There are good reasons for considering the change. The supply of enticing models has grown from a dozen to 40-plus in short order, and there’s now a viable second hand EV market. Company car economics have moved decisively in the EV’s favour: VED and excise duty are eliminated, parking costs are low, fuelling costs are slashed and London’s congestion charge simply doesn’t apply. What used to be a speculative topic has become a serious option. Here’s our guide to every electric car you can buy:

Let me just tell you this, I do not need these allegations, it is true that everyone believed that I did problems on this server, but you do not know the truth, so I say there is no need for these things because I did wrong enough in it and did not forget but I did not enter into it again except that I have my loyal friends believe me This is enough for me because what happened during my absence from the servant and society in a way during my studies and I believe that the truth will emerge one day, but I did not bother anyone I tried to understand with the president and did not believe so I told him that the truth will appear one day and I did not talk about the subject again and this matter also A reason I lost my dear account of this community, and this is the second injustice that I have wronged, and thirdly, I do not blame you, but I tell you we are children today, and it happens in the past, you do not need to remember because some people try to forget that past. And another thing, if I strive towards the ranks, I would not have left the VGR project. You are not a fortune teller. You know what is in the hearts of people. Please do not oppress anyone. In the end, I respect your opinion and your decision. People hate me and wronged me, but I will let them know my truth. For me, after happiness there will be happiness, and I cannot say anything else. The decision is the decision of the managers. Thanks again for your opinion. @#PREDATOR

¤ In addition to the GOG project and the Journalist section, what other responsibilities could you take? And what could you contribute to it? When I made this request, I put all the possibilities that I should be responsible for some things and take responsibility in these matters, so I presented with confidence that I will do what I can and take responsibility and I will do what is required of me according to my rank and help those who are higher than me in the rank and everyone who needs help Likewise, whether it is the same as my rank or less, for me, we are all equal and ranks are just a name. I also want to contribute to making this dear forum for my heart to develop more and more in the future because for me this forum is my second world or I can say my second family, we are in this forum we all seek To cooperate show our skills and make friends ¤ Do you like team working? What is the best way to solve a problem between two people? Yes, I love teamwork because the more team work, the more elaborate the work, and it is much better than individual work, and this is what this dear forum requires. The best way to solve a problem between two people is to sit with them and speak with them and understand the subject correctly, and the important thing in this matter is not alignment with one of the two parties, so if you will rule between the two parties, you must consider the two parties, then the judgment between them must be done with justice and discussion. ¤ And finally, what are your ideas for the community in the future? (Proposals 2 or 3 Take your time) I will not try to arrogate and show that I do not care for any of these suggestions, but if the matter is for me, then the most important thing is that I must show full responsibility in this matter. Teamwork is also important in this matter. If I want to work on my own, the mistakes will be many, and no one will correct you for this. When working collectively, the mistakes are less. So I can say that both proposals 2 and 3 are very important to the future of this community I aim to make other people feel what I feel when I am feeling the second home my own second world feeling and I aim to create a project in my name in the future when I am allowed to have this opportunity.

Coronavirus spike continues amid new Catalonia restrictions Mask-wearing is encouraged in Barcelona as the region endures new restrictions Spain's north-eastern Catalonia region has again recorded a daily Covid-19 infection figure of more than 1,000, as residents endure new restrictions. Health authorities are trying to halt this week's surge, which has led to four million people around Barcelona being asked to stay home for 15 days. Catalonia's is the worst of 150 Spanish outbreaks and neighbouring France says closing borders should be discussed. Spain has recorded 260,000 cases and there have been 28,400 deaths. Spain orders culling of almost 100,000 mink What's the latest in Catalonia? The latest 24-hour figures from the region's department of health on Saturday record another 1,226 cases, 894 of them in the Barcelona metropolitan area, adding to a surge over the past week. The surge led to tough new measures being announced on Friday. Although they did not amount to a full lockdown, they have caused considerable concern in a region that was hoping to see an easing of restrictions. The measures, for an initial period of 15 days for Barcelona, La Noguera and El Segrià, include: No meetings of more than 10 people in public or private No visits to nursing homes Only leave the house for essential activities Closure of nightclubs and gyms, restrictions on bars and restaurants, suspension of cultural activities and recreational sport Barcelona bar owner Maria Quintana told AFP: "We'd just started to see things coming back to life with the arrival of a few foreign tourists, so this is a step backwards." Spain only ended its tough national lockdown about four weeks ago and was hoping to kick-start the economy, particularly with tourism numbers. The streets of Barcelona were reported emptier on Saturday, although some residents may have defied orders and headed off in cars for second homes. What has France said? New Prime Minister Jean Castex was asked whether a closure of borders could be possible amid Spain's report of 150 new virus clusters. He said: "We are monitoring this very closely, here in particular, because it is a real issue that we also need to discuss with the Spanish authorities." The border was only reopened to general citizens on 21 June. France's deaths from coronavirus currently stand at just over 30,000. How are the EU's plans for coronavirus relief going? On Saturday, discussions in Brussels over a huge post-coronavirus economic recovery plan were grinding on. The second day of talks was getting mixed reviews. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said there was a "stalemate" but Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said he thought they were going in the right direction. Some "frugal" northern nations like the Netherlands and Sweden have balked at the €750bn ($857bn; £680bn) package, arguing it should be loans not grants. A revised plan would tone down the level of grants but there appears to be a long way to go.

McLaren Speedtail 2020 UK review What is it? We’d been on the road for hours. Hours in which I thought I’d come to know and understand the extraordinary, £2.1 million McLaren Speedtail. And if it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, that was just fine. It’s always good to have an element of the unexpected, even with a prospect as interesting as this. I knew it was fast, fast in a way perhaps no other road car has ever been. And fascinating, too, for its engineering, design and significance. But then – and forgive this very necessary opacity – I found myself able to open it up in a way that had hitherto not been possible. That was when I discovered the Speedtail had been toying with me all day. After 30-something years of testing road cars, here was an entirely new experience. Turns out I didn’t know it at all. That’s strange, because it’s not as if someone with a decent level of knowledge and experience shouldn’t be able to take an educated guess. This wasn’t like when, 26 years ago, we first drove the McLaren F1 – a car not only designed like none that had existed before and with performance to boot, but also one that shared no significant part with any other car. The Speedtail has a carbonfibre tub, a mid-engined configuration, a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive so, in such crucial regards, is no different to any other McLaren of the past 10 years. Yes, it has a hybrid powertrain, but so did the P1 back in 2013. It’s easier still to draw comparisons between the Speedtail and the F1, not just due to their arrowhead, three-seat driving positions but also because, by making the same 106 units as with the F1, McLaren is appearing to invite the association. But they’re nervy about it, too. The F1 is as famous for its exploits on the track as on the road, having enabled McLaren to join Ferrari as the only marques to win Le Mans at the first attempt, and the Speedtail is absolutely not a track car. According to McLaren’s staff, it’s a ‘hyper-GT’, whatever that may be. So join me. I don’t usually dwell on cars’ looks, because I’m no better positioned to judge them than you. But how can I ignore this? One can’t. People will crash their tin boxes to get a better view of it. One bloody nearly did. Another on Woking high street was so fixated that, had there been a lamp-post or open manhole in front of him, he’d have stood no chance. For me, it’s more than just achingly beautiful. I find it utterly beguiling, the way it takes a late-1960s sports racer idiom, with its forward cockpit and extravagantly extended tail, and transports those flowing curves to the present day without the result looking hackneyed, derivative or even conspicuously retro. The interior is the best of any modern supercar, period. The central seat is so natural; it’s the driving position of every other car and not the Speedtail that forever after feels awkward and displaced. And for those F1 owners who struggled in and out of their cars, know that access is immeasurably easier here. There are three digital screens: driving data ahead, flanked by a sat-nav touchscreen on one side and an entertainment touchscreen on the other. It’s that simple. When I think back to McLaren’s hopeless original Iris system of a decade ago, well, the mind truly boggles. Buttons are exiled to the headlining for functions you need regularly (engine start/stop, doors and tiny windows), while others are banished out of immediate sight ahead of your knees. If McLaren can reproduce interior forms of such crisp, clean beauty in the less unaffordable cars of its future, they will by themselves provide temptation of a new kind for the company. Passengers fare worse than in conventional supercars and, surprisingly, in the F1. If the driver is short and thus has the seat a long way forward, all will be fine. But if the seat is positioned rearward, there’s simply insufficient space for the inboard shoulder of each passenger. Children and the slightly built will fare reasonably well, but anyone planning on using their Speedtail in its intended hyper-GT role may find their holiday plans somewhat stymied by passenger-seat protests if they don’t do their homework first. Luggage space, by contrast, is fabulous. There’s a load of room in the nose, a load more in the tail and the almost racing certainty of at least one vacant passenger seat. Oddment storage, however, is almost non-existent, unless you count small cubbies beneath each passenger seat. There are no trim levels or equipment packs for the Speedtail. Customers sit down with McLaren interior designers and clothe their car how they want. And if they don’t want any other Speedtail to have all or part of their spec, McLaren will ringfence it for them. How much? Each car is so individual that it’s impossible to say, but when I tell you that one particular paint finish adds £100,000 to the cost of this £2.1m car, you too will believe that transactions of £3m and above have taken place. Back to top The visible carbonfibre has threads three times finer than that used in other McLarens and, if you ask, it can be woven and blended with genuine gold thread. The interior leather is 30% lighter than standard yet neither thinner nor less durable. The edges are painted by hand. The badge on the front can be made from gold or even platinum, each bearing its own unique McLaren hallmark stamp. What's it like? The Speedtail starts like any other McLaren and makes the same noise – which is disappointing. Given it has a flat-plane-crank V8 like every other McLaren, I’m not sure what I was expecting, but its hard, gruff voice isn’t that of a GT, hyper or otherwise. No, of course McLaren couldn’t package another cylinder at each corner, and for just 106 units it would be ruinously expensive even if it could. But if ever a car required a V12 (dare I say like that in the F1?), surely a hyper-GT is it. We ease into the suburban traffic. It’s hilarious how effortlessly this 1055bhp car (thanks to the almost combined efforts of its 747bhp 4.0-litre engine and a 309bhp-plus electric motor) slips into the real world. Because the hybrid drive is set purely for power provision, there’s no electric-only mode like in the P1, nor can you plug it in, although you can charge it through an induction pad built into the floor of the hermetically sealed, dehumidified vault you’ll undoubtedly have for it at home. This also keeps the 12V system topped up, so there’s no need for a trickle-charger, which is a neat touch. But the Speedtail doesn’t feel like a 720S turned up to around 14, nor a less angry Senna, nor any other McLaren, current or former. The ride quality is exceptional, more like that of the 12C than any subsequent McLaren. Flawed though it was, the 12C was the best-riding McLaren to date. But it’s not as good as this. The steering, too, has a lovely languid quality to it, thanks not only to one of the lower-geared racks at McLaren’s disposal but also a wheelbase that’s extended by 58mm, in the interests of comfort and stability as well as the need to package the hybrid drive between the engine and gearbox. So I did those hours at the wheel. The moment I was in that central seat, looking at those screens and beyond, all thoughts of whether it was worth £1.85m more than the 720S I ran last year fled my mind. It’s a much-abused word, but the experience provided by the Speedtail is unique, and for those who can afford it, that fact plus its scarcity makes it worth the money. As for everyone else, bluntly, who cares? Yet as the miles accrued, I learned to love the Speedtail for reasons I hadn’t expected, because all along I’d been programmed to think of it as a GT. But it’s not and, to be honest, with that engine, it could never be. I’ll admit that it took a while to recognise that fact and discard my preconceptions. The Speedtail may be state of the art in engineering terms but, philosophically, it’s actually what in the 1970s came to be known as a supercar. It’s like a post-modern Ferrari Daytona (albeit with three times the power, to within a single bhp), effortless over a distance, of course, but meant firstly, secondly and thirdly for drivers and driving. Once I’d realised that, the rest fell swiftly into place. All performance issues aside, this is an awesome, unforgettable device to fire at the horizon. Its handling is just superb. Indeed, because it’s imagined that no Speedtail will be used for track days, McLaren has optimised its oh-so-clever suspension for street use, with the result that it breathes beautifully with the road. Remember too that this car is properly light: at 1499kg, around 500kg lighter than the Bugatti Chiron. It flows as it flies, athletic, balletic, beautiful to behold and exquisite to command. And then it happens. You need the car in Sport driving mode, otherwise you won’t be given the full 848lb ft of torque. And you can’t transmit 848lb ft to the road through two 315mm-wide patches of rubber until they’re rotating extremely quickly. So what happens is different to anything almost anyone has ever experienced in a road car, and it happens at a different speed, too. It’s acceleration, but not as we know it. This isn’t a bludgeon like the Chiron, using brute force to shatter the air around it, but a bullet, so slim, stealthy and slippery that the air scarcely notices it’s being penetrated. This is why the only performance figure McLaren quotes is a Bugatti-busting 13.0sec run from 0-186mph, despite the evident traction limitations. So when your nerve fails and you finally lift, the car, instead of headbutting an aerodynamic wall, barely slows. So you need good brakes and, once you’ve got through the pedal’s initially quite dead feel, my goodness have you got them. Of course this car can hit 250mph, and it would have been capable of a whole lot more had McLaren not concluded that it wasn’t worth the extra ride-wrecking unsprung mass (heavier wheels, tyres, suspension and brakes) required to make it safe at speeds nobody would ever reach. Should I buy one? That headline-grabbing top speed is a distraction. In essence, the Speedtail is just a wondrous car to guide along a good road. You don’t have to be doing 250mph to savour its looks, interior, driving position, displays, ride or handling. You don’t even need to be doing 150mph. Is it a replacement for the F1? No, in a word. But not just because the F1 went racing and the Speedtail won’t. Remember, the F1 was never designed to be a racing car. Indeed, its designer, Gordon Murray, once told me that had he intended it to race, he would have designed it in an entirely different way. It’s not a replacement for the F1 because that car was designed with lightness as the number-one priority. Top speed, a clear consideration for the Speedtail, mattered so little that it took Murray four years to bother to find out what it was (240.1mph). But the F1 and Speedtail are far closer relatives than you think, and not just due to their seating layouts and identical production runs. Just like the Speedtail, the F1 was designed to be usable, whether anyone was going to use it or not. It too rode uncommonly well, had generous cargo space and, by the deeply dodgy standards of 1990s exotica, offered decent air-con and entertainment. At heart, both are supercars in the original sense of the word, aiming to provide a unique driving experience over a long distance to a massively moneyed and discerning clientele. And in their own eras, both do that job better than any other that I’ve driven. Yes, the Speedtail is rare and exotic, but far more importantly, it’s an exquisite thing just to be aboard. And even if there is another that can get close to what this car does, I don’t believe any can do it the way the Speedtail does. Because it’s more than just powerful and fast: it’s light and clever, too. A McLaren, in other words.
