Celebrity doctor and former TV host Mehmet Oz has been confirmed by the US Senate to run the agency that oversees the healthcare of millions of Americans. Oz, who has never held public office, was picked last year by President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The 64-year-old, whose approaches have come under scrutiny, trained as a surgeon before appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the early 2000s. Health experts have previously criticised Oz's promotion of what they deem to be bad health advice about weight-loss drugs and "miracle cures", and for suggesting malaria drugs could be used as a cure for Covid-19 at the start of the pandemic. He was confirmed to the government role on Thursday by the Republican-controlled US Senate by a party-line vote of 53-45. After picking Oz to lead CMS, Trump said in a statement there "there may be no physician more qualified and capable... to make America healthy again". Ahead of his inauguration, Trump's transition team said Oz would "work closely" with US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr to "take on the illness industrial complex". The CMS oversees the country's largest healthcare programs, providing coverage to roughly half of Americans. It regulates health insurance and sets policy that guides the prices that doctors, hospitals and drug companies are paid for medical services. In 2023, the US government spent more than $1.4tn (£1.1tn) on Medicaid and Medicare combined, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Oz also hosted The Dr Oz Show, in which he offered health advice to viewers, from 2009 to 2022. But he was scrutinised for recommending homeopathy, alternative medicine and other treatments that critics have called "pseudoscience". Democrats have previously claimed a review of his financial records suggests Oz may not have paid $403,739 in Medicare taxes on more than $10 million of income from his media company between 2021 to 2023. However, a spokesperson for Oz said a review by the Office of Government Ethics found he had complied with the law. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1k4em2yz9eo

Indian softshell turtles (Nilssonia gangetica) are one of the largest freshwater turtle species in the world. They have many characteristics pertaining to their aquatic lifestyle. Indian softshell turtles are often maintained in the temple ponds of Orissa where they are considered sacred.The Indian softshell turtle is identified based on the structure of the carapace and plastron. There are eight pairs of costal plates, the last well developed and in contact throughout on the median line; two neurals between the first pair of costals; plates coarsely pitted and vermiculate. Epiplastra narrowly separated from each other in front of the ontoplastron, which forms an obtuse or a right angle; plastral callosities are very large, hyo-hypoplastral, xiphiplastral, and, in old specimens, ento-plastral. The head of the turtle is moderate; snout (on the skull) is about as long as the diameter of the orbit; the interorbital region, in the adult, is considerably narrower than the nasal fossa; the postorbital arch is one-third to one-half the greatest diameter of the orbit; mandible with the inner edge strongly raised, forming a sharp ridge, which sends off a short perpendicular process at the symphysis; the diameter of the mandible at the symphysis does not exceed the diameter of the orbit. The Indian softshell turtle is olive above; the back of the young is vermiculated with fine black lines, but without ocelli; the head with a black longitudinal streak from between the eyes to the nape, intersected by two or three inverted-V-shaped black streaks; lower parts are yellowish. https://animalia.bio/indian-softshell-turtle

Honda sent Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda out in its upcoming 0-Series SUV prototype between runs in iconic F1 machinery. Initially unveiled at CES 2025, Honda’s 0 SUV prototype is a mid-size electric ute slated to go into production at Honda’s Ohio EV Hub in 2026. As part of a series of electric 0 vehicles, the SUV will be joined by a wedge-shaped 0 Saloon in late 2026. With the Red Bull Racing and Honda partnership coming to a close at the end of this year’s Formula 1 season, the two manufacturers put on quite a show in the streets of Tokyo ahead of the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. The celebratory event saw Red Bull’s driver lineup ripping full tilt through a closed course between the office buildings of Aoyama's business district in some iconic Red Bull and Honda F1 machinery. At one point in the event, Honda gave the audience a reprieve from the screaming V-8s and hybrid V-6s by sending its electric 0-Series SUV prototype onto the street course with four-time Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen behind the wheel. Needless to say, he left his earplugs behind. This is the first time that we've seen the Honda 0 SUV prototype in motion following its unveiling at CES 2025 in January. As part of Honda's upcoming 0 Series lineup of electric vehicles, the funky-looking 0 SUV will be the first model built using Honda's newest EV architecture. Honda hasn't released many facts or figures about the 0 SUV's range capabilities or battery tech, but we do know that it will likely offer Level 3 autonomous driving and a next-gen operating system called ASIMO OS. In addition to the windswept mid-size SUV, a wedge-shaped 0 Saloon will also be added to Honda's new electric roster at a later date. Both models will be built in Honda's EV Hub in Marysville, Ohio, with production models of the 0 SUV slated for a mid-2026 release and the 0 Saloon following at the end of the year. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64380603/honda-0-suv-prototype-max-verstappen-driving/

Kevin de Bruyne has announced he will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season. De Bruyne, 33, has won 16 trophies since joining City from Wolfsburg in 2015, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2023. Reacting to the news, City manager Pep Guardiola said De Bruyne is "one of the greatest midfielders to ever play in this country". The Belgium midfielder has scored 106 goals in 413 appearances for City, who described him as a "global icon of the game", but he has started just 19 matches this season. "Whether we like it or not, it's time to say goodbye," De Bruyne wrote on social media. Guardiola said that "it was not easy for me to tell him it won't continue" - but also described De Bruyne's departures as "his decision is made". In a social media post, De Bruyne expanded: "Football led me to all of you - and to this city. Chasing my dream, not knowing this period would change my life. This city. This club. "These people gave me everything. I had no choice but to give everything back. And guess what - we won everything. "Whether we like it or not, it's time to say goodbye. Suri, Rome, Mason, Michele, and I are beyond grateful for what this place has meant for our family. Manchester will forever be on our kids' passports - and more importantly, in each of our hearts. "This will always be our home. We cannot thank the city, club, staff, team-mates, friends, and family enough for this 10-year ride." Guardiola compared De Bruyne's impact to that of other title-winning former City players Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero and David Silva - all of whom have had statues built outside Etihad Stadium. "A sad day but a happy day for the fact that I had the pleasure personally to live this time with him," Guardiola said. "What he gave us, all of us, with his humanity and his influence in our success in the last decade. Of course, part of us is leaving. When Vincent or Sergio or David left, these players have contributions. "He's one of the greatest in this country. Always I have to be careful for the respect for the players that have played incredible roles, but there's no doubt he's one of the greatest for sure. "The doors are open here for the rest of his life. He's part of this family, this club." Asked if De Bruyne will also have a statue, Guardiola added: "I don't know. But I will bet a lot of money that is going to happen, that's for sure. He deserves to be." City to bid 'emotional farewell' City, who have won the past four Premier League titles, said they are planning a "fitting tribute" before the end of the season. "Manchester City will bid an emotional farewell to Kevin de Bruyne this summer when his contract expires, bringing an end to a glittering 10-year period at the club," the club said. "The Belgian, a global icon of the game, has played 413 matches for City. "During that period, he has scored 106 times, making him the first City midfielder since Colin Bell to reach a century of goals. "The club and all of our fans will now take the time to deliver a fitting tribute and farewell to one of the greatest players to ever play in the Premier League." The Belgium captain moved to City from Bundesliga club Wolfsburg in 2015 for £55m. Manager Guardiola joined City a year later and helped to develop De Bruyne, who had played in wide and attacking roles, into a central midfielder. De Bruyne played a huge part as City enjoyed a dazzling period of success, culminating in the club's first Champions League triumph two seasons ago in Istanbul, where they beat Inter Milan in the final. But De Bruyne has started to struggle with injury in recent years. He missed almost five months of last season as City won their fourth consecutive Premier League title, playing just 26 games in all competitions. More recently, he paused contract negotiations while recovering from a thigh problem sustained in September. The former Chelsea player said he was "open to everything" last summer after being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. It appears that De Bruyne could play for City in the group stage of this summer's Club World Cup, but as it stands he would not be eligible for the knockout stage as his contract expires at the end of June. Guardiola says it is up to the player to decide whether to sign a short extension that covers the rest of the tournament and then leave. World governing body Fifa has also tweaked its registration rules to effectively mean clubs can sign players solely for the duration of the tournament. De Bruyne began his professional career with Belgian side Genk before signing for Chelsea in January 2012 for about £7m. He made just nine appearances for the Blues and spent a season on loan at Werder Bremen before moving to Wolfsburg in 2013. The midfielder has also made 109 appearances for Belgium, appearing at three European Championships and three World Cups, finishing third at the 2018 global tournament in Russia, when the Belgians beat England 2-0 in the play-off. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cj3x0jpmgv4o

April Hubbard sits on the theatre stage where she plans to die later this year. She is not terminally ill, but the 39-year-old performance and burlesque artist has been approved for assisted dying under Canada's increasingly liberal laws. Warning: This article contains details and descriptions some readers may find disturbing She is speaking to BBC News from the Bus Stop Theatre, an intimate auditorium with a little under 100 seats, in the eastern city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Illuminated by a single spotlight on a stage she has performed on many times before, she tells me she plans to die here "within months" of her imminent 40th birthday. She'll be joined by a small group of her family and friends. April plans to be in a "big comfy bed" for what she calls a "celebratory" moment when a medical professional will inject a lethal dose into her bloodstream. "I want to be surrounded by the people I love and just have everybody hold me in a giant cuddle puddle and get to take my last breath, surrounded by love and support," she says. April was born with spina bifida and was later diagnosed with tumours at the base of her spine which she says have left her in constant, debilitating pain. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3wxq28znpqo

South Korea's president has been removed from office after the Constitutional Court voted unanimously to uphold his impeachment. Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended from duty in December after being impeached by parliament, following his failed attempt to impose martial law. The ruling on Friday was met with tears of joy and sadness among Yoon's critics and supporters, who had gathered in various parts of Seoul to watch the verdict live. A snap election to vote for Yoon's replacement must be held by 3 June. After months of anxiously waiting, South Koreans have some badly needed closure. The country can now start to repair and move forward, the first step being to elect a new leader. But the crisis Yoon has unleashed is far from over. Although his military takeover only lasted six hours, the political fallout has only intensified with each month that has passed. The night of 3 December, when Yoon ordered troops to storm parliament, changed something in South Korea's psyche. It reawakened the ghosts of the country's violent, dictatorial past, showing people that martial law was not, as most had assumed, consigned to history. Many are still upset by what happened that night, and afraid that the threat of martial law could be brandished again by future zealous politicians. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz01mjv0v0go
