This is actually a good move by Hyundai The 2019 Santa Fe created quite a furor when it was announced for the U.S. market. The reason behind it being that it was going to be the South Korean’s first model to feature a diesel engine. However, the automaker has now said that the Sante Fe diesel won’t be coming to the States after all. WHY THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE DIESEL WON’T COME TO AMERICA Hyundai had planned to offer the Santa Fe with a 2.2-liter diesel engine as an option for the 2020 model year. But things have changed drastically, and the company has decided to scrap the whole idea altogether. Speaking with Green Car Report, Hyundai’s spokesperson, Brandon Ramirez, said that Hyundai canceled the power plant as studies indicated a buyers’ reluctance to have a turbo diesel engine in a crossover. Moreover, the low gasoline prices and the shift towards electrification did not help the diesel-powered Santa Fe’s cause either. THE INITIAL PLAN Hyundai’s cousin, Kia, had earlier planned to cancel the 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine for the Sorento. It’s not just the diesel engine that has been disbursed from the line-up as Ramirez confirmed that even the seven-seater Santa Fe won’t be coming. The three-row Santa Fe was planned to be offered exclusively with the diesel engine. THERE IS A SUBSTITUTE AVAILABLE Did you have your eyes set on the three-row Santa Fe? There’s no need to worry because the 2020 Palisade will be replacing it. In fact, Hyundai had even planned to replace the current Santa Fe XL with the Palisade in 2020. But now that the diesel mill is out of contention, we could see Hyundai work towards offering the Santa Fe with a plug-in hybrid unit in the near future. This is more or less the case with most of the automakers today. Currently, the only crop of automakers that offers diesel SUVs in the U.S. includes GMC, Chevrolet, Land Rover, and Jeep. Do you think this was a wise move by Hyundai? Or should the automaker have taken a risk with the diesel Santa Fe? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Twitter has warned of "unusual activity" from China and Saudi Arabia related to a bug in a help form. The bug - discovered on 15 November and fixed the day after - could have revealed the country code of users' phone numbers or if their account was locked, the company said. IP addresses from the two countries had sent a large number of inquiries using the form, Twitter said. These could have had ties to "state-sponsored actors", Twitter said. Stressing that they could not confirm "intent or attribution for certain", Twitter's statement said they had informed the authorities about their discovery in the interest of "full transparency". Those directly affected have been informed, Twitter said. No full phone numbers were revealed, nor any other personal data. The company's stock price dropped nearly 7% on Monday. News of the bug comes on the same day the US Senate released a report revealing how Russia used every social media platform to influence the 2016 election. With a particular focus on targeting conservatives with posts on immigration, race and gun rights, the country also tried to undermine the voting power of left-leaning African-American citizens by spreading misinformation about the electoral process.

Gently stroking a baby reduces activity in their brain associated with painful experiences, a study has found. The study, by University of Oxford and Liverpool John Moores University, monitored the brain activity of 32 babies while they had blood tests. Half were stroked with a soft brush beforehand and they showed 40% less pain activity in their brain. Author Rebeccah Slater said: "Touch seems to have analgesic potential without the risk of side-effects." The study found that the optimal pain-reducing stroking speed was about 3cm (1in) per second. "Parents intuitively stroke their babies at this optimal velocity," said Prof Slater. "If we can better understand the neurobiological underpinnings of techniques like infant massage, we can improve the advice we give to parents on how to comfort their babies." That speed of stroking activates a class of sensory neurons in the skin called C-tactile afferents, which have been previously been shown to reduce pain in adults. But it had been unclear whether babies had the same response or whether it developed over time. "There was evidence to suggest that C-tactile afferents can be activated in babies and that slow, gentle touch can evoke changes in brain activity in infants," said Prof Slater. Prof Slater said the study, published in Current Biology, could explain anecdotal evidence of the soothing power of touch-based practices such as infant massage and kangaroo care, where premature babies are held against the skin to encourage parent-infant bonding and possibly reduce pain. "Previous work has shown that touch may increase parental bonding, decrease stress for both the parents and the baby, and reduce the length of hospital stay," said Prof Slater. The study authors now plan to repeat their experiment in premature babies, whose sensory pathways are still developing. Caroline Lee-Davey, chief executive at the premature and sick baby charity Bliss welcomed the research. "We already know that positive touch - such as skin-to-skin care - makes a real difference directly to babies in neonatal care and also helps parents to bond with their baby. "This new research suggests that parental touch could also help to alleviate pain in infants and Bliss is delighted to be funding Oxford University to do more research specifically on reducing pain in premature babies through the use of parental touch, from the new year. "Many people do not realise just how many medical procedures a baby in neonatal care goes through during their hospital stay. "Anything that can reduce a baby's discomfort is a huge step forward in this underfunded area of research."

Entrepreneur Elon Musk has unveiled a prototype underground tunnel in Los Angeles which is designed to transport cars at high speed around the city. The tunnel is only a mile (1.6km) long at the moment but the goal is a network to ease chronic traffic congestion. Modified electric cars would be lowered into the tunnel and travel at speeds up to 150mph (240km/h), Mr Musk says. The tunnel has been built by Mr Musk's Boring Company, which boasts state-of-the-art engineering techniques. Mr Musk, best known as the head of Tesla electric cars and the commercial SpaceX programme, arrived at the launch on Tuesday in a Tesla car modified to work on the "loop" system. He was cheered by a small crowd as he emerged from the car at one end of the tunnel bathed in green and blue interior lights. How will it work? The plan envisages modified cars being lowered into the tunnel network by lifts and then slotted into tracks on the "loop". "The profound breakthrough is very simple: it's the ability to turn a normal car into a passively stable vehicle by adding the deployable tracking wheels, stabilising wheels, so that it can travel at high speed through a small tunnel," Mr Musk said. "The way the loop will work is you will have main arteries that are travelling at 150mph and when you want to go to an exit, you will have an off ramp," he added. "So you can travel the vast majority of your journey without stopping at 150mph and only slow down when you get to your exit, and then automatically transfer from one tunnel to another. It's like a 3D highway system underground basically." Feeling the bumps The BBC's Peter Bowes takes a test ride on Elon Musk's LA tunnel It was almost a white knuckle ride. A bumpy two-minute journey in a modified Model X through a concrete tunnel with a blue neon light in the ceiling. We reached a speed of 49mph, although cars will eventually travel at up to 150mph. Elon Musk later explained that the bumpiness was due to problems with a paving machine and that it would be "as smooth as glass" eventually. The vehicle was modified by adding two alignment wheels to keep it stable at high speeds and prevent it from hitting the side of the tunnel. Mr Musk said the $200-$300 attachments could eventually be fixed to any fully autonomous electric vehicle, for use in the tunnel. They would not interfere with the vehicle's normal operation. "We used Tesla vehicles because I run Tesla. What I am going to do? Use someone else's car?" he asked, smiling. Traffic solution? Alana Semuels, of The Atlantic, told the BBC World Service that Mr Musk had yet to unveil the technology that would allow vehicles to travel at such high speeds through the system. "At first he said we're going have these tunnels and transport people in pods, now he's saying we're going to transport them in cars, so I'm not sure even he knows how it works," she said. Mr Musk first unveiled the tunnel plan earlier this year, saying he wanted to alleviate Los Angeles's "soul-destroying" traffic congestion. On Tuesday he said his Boring Company had built the tunnel segment for $10m (£8m), adding that traditional tunnel-building technology would have cost up to $1bn. The tunnel runs beneath the municipality of Hawthorne, where the Boring Company and SpaceX are both based

Contra You just played 2 hours

The SLS, with its naturally-aspirated, 6.2-liter V-8 was a whole 3.6 inches longer. The differences are particularly obvious at the back, the AMG GT having a much shorter rear overhang while it retains the prolonged front hood. The design of the AMG GT is the work of a team led by Mark Fetherston and, while similar to previous front-engined Mercedes sports cars like the SLS and, more remotely, the SLR, it looks very much like its own thing and, due to the smaller proportions, actually feels more like a sports car and less like a laid-back tourer. Up front, you’re greeted by the rounded grille with chromed vertical bars. The Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star is lavishly placed in the middle while the AMG logo barely found its way on the grille being placed in the lower right corner next to one of the two cameras that have been crudely placed between the bars. The light guide also takes up the task of the indicator while three reflectors placed within the arch of the main light guide are there to offer the main beam and dipped beam. It’s LED all the way in the case of the headlights and taillights. The menacing stance of the front fascia is completed by the lower air intakes. The two rounded air inlets positioned on the extremities of the front end feature a horizontal strake each. They are connected by a narrow, blacked-out, crumple that runs in between, that’s only interrupted by the number plate holder. There’s also a frown-shaped intake that opens up in the middle, just above the lip of the splitter. The AMG GT C looks virtually identical to the coupe (in either GT or GT S guise) from the front while the more extreme GT R comes with added air vents that are carved on the corners of the nose as well as in between the two rounded air inlets below the headlights. All models share the two air vents positioned towards the top end of the hood, near the windshield, one in each corner. From the side, the Mercedes AMG GT's svelte physique is clearly visible. Whether riding on the new Y-spoke wheels, as seen at the Mercedes-Benz booth at the L.A. Auto Show, or the standard 10-spoke ones, the car looks fast. That’s, in part, because of the low roofline and, also, due to the fastback-style rear end. The white coupe example brought to the L.A. Auto Show has a blacked-out roof as well as blacked-out exterior rearview mirrors, both of which are standard. There’s also the classic air inlet just aft of the front wheels which is cut across by a bar with the ’V8 Biturbo’ lettering placed on it, just in case passersby are curious what engine your Merc is packing. At the tail end, the 2020 model year AMG GT sports a slightly remodeled diffuser painted in black with quad exhaust tips - round on the Coupe and more angular on the Cabriolet - and some taillights that now come with a dark background. The AMG GT Convertible also has the extra air vent in between the narrow, elongated, taillights to set itself apart from the Coupe. The AMG GT R, meanwhile, comes with a fixed spoiler at the back as well as a black side skirts that extend the rocker panels. A fixed wing is an optional extra for the more serene AMG GT and GT S models as well. Without the high-perched wing, the AMG GT only has a horizontal crease across the trunk that barely mimics an integrated spoiler.

Amazon has teamed up with police in the US in an effort to stop thieves who steal parcels left outside homes. Officers in New Jersey are planting dummy boxes fitted with GPS trackers, coupled with hidden doorbell cameras, at homes around the city of Jersey. The homes selected for the experiment were chosen using the city's own crime statistics combined with mapping data of theft locations supplied by Amazon. One box was stolen three minutes after it was "delivered". Amazon told AP: "We appreciate the increased effort by local law enforcement to tackle package theft and remain committed to assisting however we can." The US Postal Service expects to deliver about 900 million packages in the run-up to Christmas. Last year, Amazon launched a service called Amazon Key that allowed homeowners with smart locks to let couriers open their doors via an app and leave parcels inside. While that may be a step too far for many, there are other ways to protect deliveries: Have them delivered to a workplace or a friend who is home during the day Insist that deliveries must be signed for Install cameras that will give police some video evidence Use a service that provides a storage box drivers can unlock by entering a code on a keypad Amazon also provides lockers for people to pick up parcels in locations such as shopping centres, convenience stores, airports, train stations and universities.

The calorie content of meals in UK restaurants is "excessive" and sit-down restaurants are unhealthier than fast-food chains, BMJ research suggests. Health experts say meals should not exceed 600 calories, but in this study they averaged 1,033 in restaurants and 751 in fast-food chains. University of Liverpool researchers analysed thousands of meals from places like Hungry Horse and McDonald's. They said their findings were a cause for concern. The research team looked at more than 13,500 meals on the menus of 21 sit-down restaurants and six fast-food chains. By using online company information on calorie content, only one in 10 meals was classed as healthy or fewer than 600kcal, as recommended by Public Health England. And nearly half of the meals contained 1,000kcal or more. Sit-down restaurants were five times more likely to offer high-calorie meals of 1,000kcal or more than fast-food restaurants, the research found. Dr Eric Robinson, lead researcher from Liverpool's department of psychological science, said the results were "shocking" but probably underestimated the calories consumed in restaurants. "We don't know about energy intake but 'plate clearing' is a common behaviour. "Our analysis did not include drinks, starters, desserts or side orders." Hungry Horse restaurants had the highest average meal calorie content of 1,358kcal. Chains including Flaming Grill, Stone House and Sizzling Pubs were not far behind, with an average of 1,200kcal per meal. KFC topped the fast-food list with an average of 987 calories per meal offered. Burger King, McDonald's and Subway were around 700kcal. Even when the study compared similar meals, the energy content in restaurant meals was greater. Burger meals in restaurants contained an average of 414kcal more than burger meals in fast-food chains, while salad meals in restaurants were slightly higher in calories on average than fast food salads. Dr Robinson said portion size, the ingredients used and cooking methods could explain the difference, but he said the food industry had to make changes. "It's really clear what the food industry need to do. They need to act more responsibly and reduce the number of calories that they're serving." Hungry Horse said it offered something for everyone at good value. A spokesperson for the chain said: "We have been working hard to increase the range of lower calorie options, including recently launching a dedicated Live Well range with dishes under 600 calories, and we are committed to further changes." The government is currently consulting on a plan to introduce mandatory calorie labelling in restaurants, takeaways and cafes, which is likely to finish in the new year. 'Prices going up' Kate Nicholls, chief executive of trade association UKHospitality, said restaurants, pubs and other hospitality businesses were already taking action to reduce calories and offer healthier dishes - but there were costs to consider too. "Proposals to shrink the size of dishes or cap calories would be yet another burden for hard-pressed operators to absorb, resulting in prices going up and investment in businesses going down; inevitably negatively impacting the overall customer experience." Dr Robinson said research showed that meals eaten out of the home contained more calories and with more people having restaurant food delivered to their homes using online services, the problem could be getting worse. The study relied on information provided online by restaurant chains on calorie content. Very few provided calorie labelling on their menus. The researchers said it was possible the fast-food sector was now offering more lower-energy meals and healthier options, after pressure from campaigners to do so.

Theresa May has said it is still possible to get the assurances MPs need to back her Brexit deal despite EU leaders ruling out any renegotiation. Speaking at a summit in Brussels, she said there was still "work to do" but there had been progress and talks over "further clarification" would continue. The UK PM admitted having a "robust" discussion with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. He urged more clarity from the UK after "nebulous and imprecise" debate. Pooled video footage of the two of them caught a tense exchange on Friday morning after his remarks. Mrs May told reporters: "I had a robust discussion with Jean-Claude Juncker - I think that's the sort of discussion you're able to have when you have developed a working relationship and you work well together. "And what came out of that was his clarity that actually he'd been talking - when he used that particular phrase - he'd been talking about a general level of debate." The UK prime minister travelled to Brussels to make a special plea to EU leaders after delaying Tuesday's Commons vote on the deal, in anticipation of a heavy defeat. She then went on to win a confidence vote brought by her own MPs but vowed to listen to the concerns of the 37% of Tory MPs who voted against her. Many of them are concerned that the controversial "backstop" plan in the withdrawal agreement Mrs May has negotiated, which is aimed at preventing a hard border in Northern Ireland, would keep the UK tied to EU rules indefinitely and curb its ability to strike trade deals. If this meeting was meant to provide Theresa May with the beginnings of an escape route from her Brexit conundrum, the signs are nothing less than awful. At one of her most vulnerable political moments, Number 10 was hopeful at least of an indication of a potential solution to the most intense of a long list of Brexit problems - the controversial so-called backstop, designed to guarantee there would be no hard Irish border. But right now, that's simply not on offer. EU leaders made it plain that their warnings - that their divorce deal with Britain was not up for negotiation - were real. Mrs May said she was "crystal clear" to EU leaders about the need for assurances on the backstop and welcomed commitments by other EU leaders to try to get a new trade deal in place "speedily" so that the backstop would not be needed. She said that, as formal conclusions from the summit, they had "legal status" but added: "There is work to be done. It is clear we can look at this issue of further clarification. We will be working expeditiously over the coming days to seek those further assurances I believe MPs will need." On Thursday evening, European Council president Donald Tusk said the withdrawal agreement was "not open for renegotiation" while Mr Juncker said: "Our UK friends need to say what they want, instead of asking us to say what we want, and so we would like within a few weeks our UK friends to set out their expectations for us, because this debate is sometimes nebulous and imprecise and I would like clarifications." Mrs May said she had held discussion with both on Friday and added: "The EU is clear, as I am, that if we are going to leave with a deal, this is it. But my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification and discussion following the council's conclusions is, in fact, possible." But Labour's Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer said it was now clear that Mrs May would not get any "meaningful changes to her Brexit deal" and she should now push ahead with the Commons vote on it next week. And Conservative Brexiteer Mark Francois told the BBC: "It is as plain as a pikestaff that this will never get through the House of Commons... the prime minister, I'm afraid, is completely boxed in." The Democratic Unionist Party, on whom Theresa May relies for her Commons majority, said the EU's response was unsurprising and Mrs May must not "roll over as has happened previously". "The EU are doing what they always do," said the party's leader Arlene Foster. "The key question is whether the prime minister will stand up to them."
