  4. Ukrainian authorities have charged a member of parliament with embezzling over £220,000. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) alleged the Ukrainian MP purchased assets far exceeding his official income. While it did not identify the politician, the Interfax Ukraine news agency and other Ukrainian media outlets named Andriy Klochko as the accused. Mr Klochko is a member of President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party. He has not yet publicly responded to the allegations. The BBC has approached him for comment. In a statement, NABU said that between 2020 and 2021 the MP had acquired assets worth 25m hryvnas (£507,000), while he and his wife's combined declared income and savings at the time was just 14m hryvnas (£284,000). That left an unexplained difference of 11m hryvnas (£223,000), prosecutors said. A joint investigation with Ukraine's Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office found the MP had purchased three plots of land near Kyiv, five flats in the Ukrainian capital, two other premises, as well as two cars: a Tesla and a Mercedes-Benz. NABU alleged that "to conceal the ownership of these assets, the MP registered most of them with close relatives" while retaining full control over them. The anti-corruption agency credited Bihus, an investigative journalism publication, for bringing the matter to light in a series of articles published in 2021 and 2022. NABU stressed that the MP was considered innocent until found guilty in court. Ukraine has been plagued with a history of officials facing accusations of corruption, which has complicated Mr Zelensky's attempts to recast it as a burgeoning Western democracy and seek military aid. When he came to power in 2019, he described fighting corruption as one of his key priorities. He has since made several culls of top officials over claims of mismanaging public funds. In January, several top officials lost their jobs as part of the latest round of anti-corruption measures. Ukraine war: Hopes of rebuilding rely on fighting corruption Ukrainian billionaire held in anti-corruption drive In 2023, Ukraine was ranked 104th out of 180 countries in a corruption perception index by NGO Transparency International - 12 places up from the previous year. On Wednesday, Mr Zelensky dismissed Illya Vityuk, head of cybersecurity for the Security Service (SBU). The decree followed reports that a plain-clothed SBU officer attempted to hand a summons to an investigative journalist, after he published a story claiming Mr Vityuk's wife had understated the value of a luxury flat she had bought on an official declaration. The SBU told Slidstvo at the time that Mr Vityuk's wife was a "private entrepreneur" who had purchased the property using her own "income and savings". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw59r476523o
  5. The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the quickest Korean car we've ever tested, hitting 60 mph in 3.0 seconds flat. That time makes Hyundai's 641-hp AWD EV a tenth of a second quicker than the Kia EV6 GT, and the N is 1.5 seconds quicker than the regular 320-hp dual-motor Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 N is also just as quick to 60 mph as the 2023 $128K Lucid Air Touring we tested previously, and it has an edge over the BMW i4 M50 and a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Welcome to Car and Driver's Testing Hub, where we zoom in on the test numbers. We've been pushing vehicles to their limits since 1956 to provide objective data to bolster our subjective impressions (you can see how we test here). Nothing sends a smartphone into airplane mode quite like the nutty acceleration of an electric vehicle. They're heavy, but their viciously instant torque delivery and direct-drive transmissions make for some rapid speed. Best of all, a hot hatch such as the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N we just tested, accelerates like a six-figure sports car but at a fraction of the cost. Impressively, the $67K electric N's 3.0-second rip to 60 mph is just three tenths of a second behind a 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 PDK. The last time a Hyundai put this much pressure on a Porsche, it was uninsured and tailgating someone on California's 405. The Korean King Is Quicker Than Others Too For a short while, the 3.1-second 60-mph time of the speediest Kia EV6 GT we've tested earned it the crown as the quickest car from the Korean Hyundai/Kia group, but now that a high-performance trim has been added to the Ioniq 5 lineup this year, there's a new king. The N blows the previously quickest Hyundai's time out of the water, which was set by an Ioniq 6 with a 4.3-second 60-mph time. The track-focused 5 is also 1.5 seconds quicker than the more civilized 320-hp all-wheel-drive Ioniq 5 (4.5 seconds). In N guise, the Ioniq 5 wears 275/35ZR-21 Pirelli P Zero PZ4 summer tires wrapped around 21-inch forged-aluminum wheels. Every N is all-wheel drive, and among its myriad drive settings, including its ability to mimic mechanical gearchanges while making fake Elantra N exhaust noise, torque can be split front to rear 11 different ways. The quickest vehicle we've ever tested is the 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale, a 986-hp plug-in-hybrid rocket that completed its launch to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds. Owning such a capable machine will run you more than $700K, enough moola to buy each player on the first and second lines of the Pittsburgh Penguins an Ioniq 5 N—including the backup goalie. While the Ferrari is quicker than every car we've tested, it might surprise you what EVs Hyundai's 641-hp quasi-hatchback can beat to 60 mph. Because being the "quickest Hyundai" doesn't sound too bragworthy, consider this context: the Ioniq 5 N is quicker to 60 mph than the BMW i4 M50 and Tesla Model 3 Performance and also just as quick to 60 as a 2023 Lucid Air Touring, with an as-tested price of $128k, that packs an extra 340 pound-feet of torque. The N's 11.1-second quarter-mile at 123 mph is impressive too. That beats any AMG-badged EV we've tested, and it's a tenth behind the 834-hp Tesla Cybertruck Beast's time of 11.0 seconds flat. Against our favorite gas-powered hot hatches, the much heavier Ioniq 5 N destroys their quarter-mile times: Honda Civic Type R (13.5 seconds at 106 mph), Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition (13.0 seconds at 106 mph), and the Volkswagen Golf R with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (12.6 ticks at 110 mph). Of course, Hyundai's hardcore EV has roughly double the horsepower and costs more than all of them. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60659411/2025-hyundai-ioniq-5-n-quickest-korean-car-ever-tested/
  6. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday moved a Surat court against his conviction in a defamation case and said that he was “treated harshly at the stage of determination of sentence taking into account his position as Member of Parliament” and that the maximum sentence has caused him “irreparable loss”. In his appeal before the Surat district and sessions court against his two-year conviction, Gandhi also stated it seemed “reasonable to argue” that the maximum sentence awarded to him was to “attract the order of disqualification (as an MP)”. “Not only is the excessive sentence contrary to the law on the subject but is also unwarranted in the present case which has overriding political overtones,” the appeal says. Terming the conviction “erroneous”, the appeal states that the “material on which it based has not been proved in accordance with law” https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/surat/rahul-gandhi-mistreated-sentenced-attract-disqualification-8536431/
  7. Birders – especially those who, like me, live in western Britain – eagerly anticipate autumnal gales and storms, which arrive most years from the Atlantic Ocean to the west. These often bring migrating seabirds close inshore for a few hours, usually either side of high tide. Some unfortunate individuals may be driven inland, in what ornithologists call a “wreck”, after which they often perish. In recent years, as a result of global climate breakdown, this storm season has extended well into the winter – as happened this January. Storms Isha and Jocelyn arrived in rapid succession, causing widespread damage, power cuts and deaths. Seabirds tend to fare very differently during winter storms compared with autumn ones. By now, most are well out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where they are able to ride out the high winds without any risk of crashing into the land. This would explain the almost total lack of unusual seabird sightings so far this year. There has been one notable weather-related sighting, though: of a mammal rather than a bird. A beluga whale – a small white cetacean from the Arctic – turned up on Shetland, after a run of strong northerly winds. This is just the fifth individual ever seen there, and the same species as an individual nicknamed Benny, which found a temporary home in the Thames estuary in December 2018. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2024/feb/15/weatherwatch-seabirds-ride-out-winter-storms-in-middle-of-ocean
  8. Chelsea strengthened their chances of securing European football next season, cruising to victory against West Ham at Stamford Bridge. It took just 15 minutes for Chelsea to get their noses in front with Cole Palmer reacting quickest to meet a loose ball in the West Ham box. West Ham almost hit back immediately when Jarrod Bowen's header crashed back off the crossbar, but it was one-way traffic from then on. Chelsea doubled their lead on the half-hour mark through Conor Gallagher before Noni Madueke headed in the third six minutes later. Nicolas Jackson struck twice in the second half to round off a wholly positive afternoon for the Blues. With just three games left to play, Chelsea's season seems to be heading for a strong finish as they have climbed up to seventh and sit just two points shy of sixth-placed Newcastle, while West Ham, who have two games remaining, stay ninth. Chelsea ooze confidence After a rocky first season under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea are starting to click and European football could still be on the agenda for next season if they keep up this momentum. The Blues have won nine of their past 11 home Premier League outings and they are now on a four-game winning streak at Stamford Bridge, having beaten Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and now West Ham. They seem to be playing with greater confidence and it bodes well for the next term. An assured finish into the the bottom right corner from Palmer set Chelsea on their way, taking his tally in the league to 21. Captain Gallagher's strike was equally as impressive as he volleyed emphatically across the target to leave Alphonse Areola rooted to the spot. The game was pretty much over as a contest by the 36th-minute when Madueke found space in the six-yard box to turn in Thiago Silva's knockdown. Jackson further tightened Chelsea's grip on all three points shortly after half-time and he showed great composure when rolling in the fifth after beating the offside trap late on. Chelsea were not asked too many questions defensively but Pochettino will also be pleased to see his side record back-to-back clean sheets in the league for the first time since February 2023. Another heavy loss for hopeless Hammers West Ham's confidence looks shot as their season draws to an unsatisfactory conclusion. The Hammers have won just one of their past 10 games across all competitions, losing five, and are on course to miss out on a fourth successive season in Europe. They have conceded 70 goals this season, including shipping five goals on four separate occasions, with only bottom three clubs Burnley (74), Luton (78) and Sheffield United (100) with a worse defensive record. Former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui held talks with West Ham about replacing David Moyes this week and a second successive heavy defeat on the road, having lost 5-2 at Crystal Palace on 21 April, leaves the Scot in an even more precarious position. Bowen was the only positive for West Ham on a miserable day for the visitors, hitting the crossbar on three occasions. Despite conceding early in the second period, West Ham did pose slightly more threat after the restart with Emerson firing over the bar and half-time substitute James Ward-Prowse forcing a save out of Djordje Petrovic. The result extends Moyes' terrible record when visiting Chelsea as a manager, failing to win any of his 19 trips - losing 12 and drawing seven. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68914705
  9. Israel has closed the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza after Hamas fired rockets from within the strip. At least 10 people were injured, some seriously, Israeli media report. The armed wing of Hamas said it had targeted troops with short-range rockets. Mediators in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, have held two days of talks aimed at securing a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages held by Hamas. In a statement, Hamas said the latest round had ended on Sunday and that its delegation would now travel to Qatar toconsult with the group's leadership. The truce proposal is believed to involve a 40-day pause in fighting while hostages are released, and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails. The main sticking point appears to be whether the ceasefire deal would be permanent or temporary. Hamas is insisting any deal makes a specific commitment towards an end to the war, but Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected that on Sunday. "The state of Israel cannot accept this [Hamas's demands], we are not prepared to accept a situation in which the Hamas brigades come out of their bunkers, take control of Gaza again, rebuild their military infrastructure, and return to threatening the citizens of Israel in the settlements surrounding the southern mountains, in all parts of the country. "This will be a terrible defeat for the state of Israel," he added. The war began after waves of Hamas gunmen stormed across Gaza's border into Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by many Western countries. During the subsequent Israeli military campaign in Gaza, more than 34,600 Palestinians have been killed and over 77,900 wounded, according to figures from the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. Mr Netanyahu has faced pressure from within his far-right coalition to press ahead with the long-promised offensive in Gaza's southern-most city, Rafah, where an estimated 1.4 million people have taken shelter after fleeing fighting in northern and central parts of the strip. The US is reluctant to back a military operation that could cause significant civilian casualties, and has insisted on seeing a plan to protect displaced Palestinians first. The Israeli government also faces mounting pressure at home. Of the 252 hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October, 128 are still unaccounted for - and among them, at least 34 are presumed dead. Addressing the strike on the Kerem Shalom crossing, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said 10 projectiles had been fired from an area near the Rafah crossing in southern Gaza, about 3.6km (2.2 miles) from Kerem Shalom. The IDF said they were fired from a site some 350m from a civilian shelter, before it destroyed the launcher and a nearby military site. It called the launches "another clear example of the terrorist organisation's systematic exploitation of humanitarian facilities and spaces, and their continued use of the Gazan civilian po[CENSORED]tion as human shields". Ceasefire talks have gone on for months without a breakthrough, and there has not been a pause in fighting or a release of hostages since the end of November https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68960585
