Government reveals Sir Kim Darroch has formally raised concerns after US president tweeted videos posted by Britain First Britain’s ambassador to the US has conveyed to the White House the government’s concerns about Donald Trump’s promotion on Twitter of material created by the far-right group Britain First, the Guardian understands. Theresa May condemned the president’s decision on Wednesday to share propaganda videos tweeted by the deputy leader of Britain First and is expected to address the issue again in a speech in the Middle East on Thursday. But government sources revealed that Sir Kim Darroch, the ambassador to Washington, had already raised the issue formally. In Westminster, MPs lined up to condemn the president’s behaviour, and urge the government to formally cancel the state visit invitation made by May when she became the first world leader to visit the Trump White House last year. At an urgent debate on the issue in the House of Commons, the home secretary, Amber Rudd, told MPs Trump was wrong to retweet propaganda from Britain First, but told his critics to remember the “bigger picture” of the UK’s close relationship with the US. The home secretary was giving a statement in response to a question in the House of Commons tabled by Labour backbencher Stephen Doughty, about “the activities of Britain First, online hate speech and the sharing of inflammatory content online by the president of the United States, Donald Trump”. Rudd reiterated Wednesday’s comments from Downing Street, saying: “We have been clear: President Donald Trump was wrong to retweet videos posted by far-right group Britain First.” But she refused to agree with several MPs’ demands that the planned state visit be formally cancelled. Rudd said: “As home secretary I can tell the house that the importance of the relationship between our countries, the unparalleled sharing of intelligence between our countries, it has undoubtedly saved British lives. That is the bigger picture here and I would urge people to remember that,” she said. On Wednesday, Trump retweeted three Britain First videos, which May’s spokesman described as “the antithesis of the values this country respects”. Overnight Trump responded: “Theresa@theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!” Even Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader and an ally of Trump, said: “I do think these videos are very bad taste and he showed poor judgment. Of that I have no doubt at all.” Speaking of the White House’s defence, he added: “I think that was a mistake. There are times when perhaps it’s better to put your hands up and say: ‘I got this wrong’ and frankly try to move on.” When asked about the possibility of a state visit from Trump in parliament, Rudd restated the government’s long-held position that an invitation had been extended, and accepted – but no date had been set. Privately, government ministers do not expect such a visit to take place in the foreseeable future, amid concerns about the possibility of widespread protests. Chris Bryant, a senior Labour backbencher, has written to May urging her to go further, and officially ban Trump from entering the UK on the grounds he is condoning fascism and his presence is “not conducive to the public good”. Bryant, a former Foreign Office minister, said the prime minister should issue a prohibition order against the president like those that apply to other far-right figures from the US. Advertisement He cited the cases of two US far-right bloggers, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, who were banned by May in 2013 from entering the UK to take part in English Defence League rallies, as precedents for taking action against Trump. In his letter to May, he said: “I am writing to you to ask you and the home secretary to take immediate action to ban the president of the United States, Donald Trump, from entering the United Kingdom, due to his apparent support for far-right groups in this country. “In retweeting Jayda Fransen’s posts, it is absolutely clear to me that President Trump is supporting and condoning fascism and far-right activity. This activity has frequently taken the form of violence on our streets. Ms Fransen herself has a long history of racism and Islamophobia, some of it criminal. Many of the people you have rightly banned from entering the UK were guilty of less than this.” In parliament, Doughty said the president’s decision to share Britain First material showed he was “racist, unthinking or incompetent – or all three”. He asked whether the prime minister had spoken to Trump about his tweets, and whether the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, would summon the US ambassador to discuss the issue. The US president’s visit to the UK has been delayed over US fears about the potential scale of anti-Trump protests but No 10 has confirmed that the invitation still stands. The shadow home secretary, Diane Abbott, said Labour would “bow to no one in our affection and respect for the American people”. But she added: “The fact that the 45th president chose to retweet material from Britain First is not just offensive to British people of Muslim heritage, it is not just offensive to British people of BME heritage, it is offensive to all British people, and it is also an attack on the values of this country.” Briefing journalists on Thursday morning, the prime minister’s official spokesman said: “Firstly I should say that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in this country are law-abiding people who abhor extremism. The PM has been clear where Islamist extremism takes place it should be tackled head-on and we are working hard to do that both at home and internationally, including with our US partners.” “For an example of that I would point you to the work the PM is doing with the US president and [the French leader] President [Emmanuel] Macron and others to get terrorist content removed from the internet as quickly as possible.” David Lammy, a Labour MP, said Trump was “not welcome in my country and in my city”. But Nadhim Zahawi, a Conservative MP, wrote to Trump urging him to make time to visit diverse areas of the UK such as Manchester, Birmingham and Coventry, saying it would show him how Muslim communities are living peaceably in the UK.

At the 2017 LA Auto Show on Wednesday, Volvo revealed a monumental new means of owning and operating their vehicles. For $600 a month, the car company will sell customers an XC40 crossover SUV. That figure includes not only the cost of the car, tax and delivery, but also insurance (regardless of your age or location) and access to Volvo's new "concierge" service. All you have to pay for is the gas you use. They're calling it Care by Volvo. "What we think is lacking today is there's ways to simplify getting your hands on a car, like getting a lease," Chief Digital Officer, Atif Rafiq, told Engadget. "But a subscription is entirely different that because it solves for a bunch of wider things in actually owning a car. It's not just getting the car, it's maintaining it, it's paying for additional things it needs like insurance. That's all that in one flat fee is something simpler but is also more transparent." You'll of course still be able to buy Volvos outright or lease them if you prefer. Gallery: Volvo XC40 This follows last week's news that the Swedish car company plans to sell "tens of thousands" of autonomous-ready XC90s to Uber between 2019 and 2021 for the ride sharer's self-driving livery vehicle service. The two companies have been working in close coordination to develop the vehicles, which are based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). These vehicles will incorporate all the "safety, redundancy and core autonomous driving" hardware to make the autonomous cars street legal, according to the company's press release. Uber, for its part, will supply the self-driving software. "We met up through a connection we got a couple of years back and understood quite early that we had a mutual interest here in developing autonomous cars," Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Henrik Green, explained to Engadget. "We're developing the base car that has the redundancy, the electrical and the software architecture to drive a car that is then steered by an autonomous computer." Volvo's collaboration with Uber is not the extent of its self-driving aspirations, mind you. "We are focusing our internal resources and our skills to develop the base car for autonomous drive," Green continued. "Next to that we are working on our own autonomous drive system for consumer, private owner experience, what we call the level 4 autopilot that we aim to go to market with in the 2021 timeframe." In effect, the Uber collaboration is acting as a prototype testbed for the car company, allowing them to more quickly develop these autonomous systems. To that end, Volvo has three initiatives in the works to get there. "We have the base car that needs to be compatible with the self driving system," Green said. "We have our own development of an autonomous driver application for for retail customers." That's the software "brain" that actually directs the vehicle, a system Volvo's developed in collaboration with the company, Zenuity. "Then, thirdly, what we're talking about here is what we call the Drive Me initiative and that's a research project where the main focus is to understand how humans interact with the self-drive system," Green concluded. Despite the quickly approaching 2021 timeframe for rollout, there remain a number of technical and, perhaps more importantly, policy-based issues that must be overcome. Similar to how the first few generations of mobile phones were limited to specific coverage areas, self-driving cars might also only work in designated spaces. "When we launch the first commercial applications for the autopilot," Green said. "I believe there will be designated areas where [its use] is approved and safe, and it's all tested and the mapping is done. And those maps we grow over time -- quite rapidly, I hope."

The value of one bitcoin has gone past $10,000 (£7,493). The virtual currency reached the benchmark for the first time, just days after it passed $9,000. It caps a remarkable rise in value for the crypto-currency, which was trading below $1,000 at the start of the year. Some experts believe the asset still has far to soar, but others say it represents a speculative bubble with nothing tangible at its core that could burst any time. The total value of all the bitcoins in existence has now surpassed $167bn. What's behind the Bitcoin gold rush? New heights Bitcoin first reached $1,000 in late-2013 and then dipped significantly before starting a volatile climb to its current value. It is not entirely clear what has driven the sudden rise in value, especially because the past few weeks have been marked by action by some financial regulators to limit its use. One factor that may have helped was the US-based derivatives marketplace operator CME Group's announcement at the start of the month that it planned to launch a Bitcoin futures product before the end of 2017, which bolstered confidence in its prospects. Another was a decision to drop a controversial plan known as Segwit2x. This would have altered the way Bitcoin's underlying technology, the blockchain, worked, to help it handle more transactions. But the move risked splitting the community. Many industry watchers believe the rapid rise in value will not be sustained and expect its value to suddenly fall sharply. Bitcoins were first produced in 2009 and took a long time to become an accepted holder of monetary value that could be swapped for real-world cash. One early transaction involved using 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas. The boom has led to a general rise in many other virtual currencies. One, known as Ethereum, is now worth about $480, but at the start of 2017 each one was worth only about $10. Many others are also trying to profit from the growing interest in crypto-currencies. Many malware writers are now seeking to install software on vulnerable websites that create or "mine" the coins. In addition, scammers have sent fake text messages to people's phones, claiming they own some of the digital currency, in an effort to tempt them into opening a dangerous link.

nfiniti debuts the new QX50 SUV which has a brand-new petrol engine under the hood which could be a complete diesel killer. The internal compression engine allows the petrol engine to combust much more efficiently than a typical petrol. It will be able to allow efficiency that you would typically associate with a diesel in a petrol unit. Dubbed the ‘VC-Turbo’ 2.0-litre four-cylinder which has compression ratio between 8:1 to 14.1 for ultimate efficiency. When the driver wants more power the engine can compress at 8:1 and then drop down to 14:1 for a more economical drive. What it does is alter the reach of the piston to improve the overall fuel efficiency. Infiniti claims that it could improve overall efficiency by 35 per cent compared to the old QX50 V6. "Variable compression ratio technology represents a breakthrough in powertrain development," said Infiniti VP Randy Parker. "The QX50, powered by our VC-Turbo, is the first production vehicle ever to give drivers an engine that transforms on demand, setting a new benchmark for powertrain capability and refinement." The technology is not all too dissimilar to the SKYACTIV-X engine Mazda is working on for its vehicles. “VC-Turbo technology is a step change for Infiniti,” said Roland Krueger, president of Infiniti. “It is a revolutionary next-step in optimising the efficiency of the internal combustion engine.” It also develops 264bhp and 404Nm of torque and will cost around $30,000 when it goes on sale.

here can be no final decisions on the future of the Irish border until the UK and the EU have reached a trade agreement, Liam Fox has said. The UK's international trade secretary also blamed the EU for Brexit delays. The comments came after the Irish Republic's EU commissioner said Dublin could veto Brexit trade talks. The EU has said "sufficient progress" has to be made on the Irish border before negotiations on a future relationship can begin. Downing Street has said the whole of the UK will leave both the customs union and the single market when it leaves the EU in 2019. "We don't want there to be a hard border but the UK is going to be leaving the customs union and the single market," Mr Fox told Sky News. He added: "We can't come to a final answer to the Irish question until we get an idea of the end state. And until we get into discussions with the EU on the end state that will be very difficult - so the quicker we can do that the better, and we are still in a position where the EU doesn't want to do that." Mr Fox accused the European Commission of having an "obsession" with ever-closer union between EU member states, which was delaying progress in Brexit talks. 'Play tough' Phil Hogan, the EU's agriculture commissioner, told the Observer that staying in the customs union would negate the need for a hard border - with customs posts and possible passport checks - on the island. He said Dublin would "play tough to the end" over its threat to veto trade talks until it had guarantees over the border. DUP hits out at Irish government's Brexit stance Brexit: All you need to know Six things to watch if Brexit puzzles you Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said he was "worried" by Mr Fox's comments, adding that Labour would not take continued membership of the single market and the customs union off the table. "I think the one thing that we don't want to do is jeopardise any movement quickly, because we need movement to enable us to get into the proper trade negotiations," Mr McDonnell told ITV's Peston on Sunday. "So I'm hoping that isn't a Downing Street-sanctioned statement that's he's made." The EU has given Prime Minister Theresa May until 4 December to come up with further proposals on issues including the border, the Brexit divorce bill and citizens' rights, if European leaders are to agree to moving on to trade talks. But Mr Hogan accused some in the British government of having what he called "blind faith" about securing a comprehensive free-trade deal after Brexit. He said it was a "very simple fact" that "if the UK or Northern Ireland remained in the EU customs union, or better still the single market, there would be no border issue". In these circumstances regulations on either side of the border would remain the same, and so a near-invisible border would be possible. The Irish government has always insisted there must not be a hard border between the Republic and Northern Ireland, with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar saying he must have written assurance from the UK before Brexit talks can move on. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney has said the UK's desire for no hard border on the island of Ireland was "aspirational". Report suggests 'low friction' Brexit border solution UK approach to Brexit 'chaotic' - leaked Irish report Brexit and the Irish border: Is all as it outwardly appears? It comes as Ireland's deputy prime minister faces a motion of no confidence over her handling of a case involving a whistle-blower alleging corruption within the police. The issue could see Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Leo Varadkar's coalition government fall and an election held before Christmas. In her speech in Florence, this September, Mrs May restated that both the UK and EU would not accept any physical infrastructure at the border. The Democratic Unionist Party said Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK must not be different. Arlene Foster, the leader of the DUP, which is in a confidence-and-supply arrangement with the Conservative government, said she would not support "any suggestion that Northern Ireland, unlike the rest of the UK, will have to mirror European regulations". Suggestions for alternate arrangements have included a new partnership that would "align" customs approaches between the UK and the EU, resulting in "no customs border at all between the UK and Ireland".

Mahindra is the only company in India currently to manufacture electric cars and though the sales might not be great, the company has been sticking it out and making it work. Currently the sale of the company reflects that we Indians are in no hurry to buy electric cars. I said that, because in the first 7 months of the current financial year, Mahindra has managed to sell 600 odd electric cars and that's quite good considering that the company manufactures 100 of them every month. But the demand is about to go up and Mahindra wants to be the first one in that segment to offer as many choices as it possibly can, which is why it announced that there'll be two electric vehicles that will be launched in India by 2019. (Mahindra e2OPlus) Dr. Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra said, "Our first new electric car will come by 2018 and the second one will be launched by the end of 2019 and we are very excited for both." He went on to state that the two cars will be based on current models but did not give out any more details on this front. However, we got to know that the company will be investing up to ₹ 600 crore spread across three years to build these cars. We expect both the cars to be exported from India but this clearly is a step in the right direction. This will of course mean that the company will ramp up production too at its plant in Bengaluru. (The Mahindra KUV100 NXT might get an electric drivetrain as well) Currently, the company manufactures 100 EVs a day and production capacity will be ramped up to 1,000 cars per month in the next six months and Mahindra has plans to further push the production mark to 5,000 units by 2019. While it's too early to say which cars will get the electric drive, the KUV100 is a likely candidate. We might get a glimpse of the company's plan at the 2018 Auto Expo and we wait to know more.

In another busy week, the president feuds with LaVar Ball, defends Roy Moore, and faces ominous news in the Russia inquiry – but finds time for golf Each week, Trump seems to make more news than most presidents do in a lifetime. The Guardian is keeping track of it all in this series, every Saturday Faced with a quiet moment, Donald Trump tends to stir up a spat with a sports star or a celebrity, seemingly in order to open new fronts in America’s “culture wars” and reassure his base about which side he’s on. When it comes to sports, Trump’s targets are often African American, and he pursued a few such targets this week. Regular readers may remember that when last week the president asked China to free three UCLA basketball players accused of shoplifting, his main concern was that the players would thank him, which they did. But when LaVar Ball, the father of one of the arrested players and an inveterate attention seeker himself, questioned just how critical a role Trump actually played, it enraged the president. “I should have left them in jail!” he tweeted on Sunday, adding six hours later that he “should have gotten his son [LiAngelo Ball] out during my next trip to China instead … Very ungrateful!” Trump – whose sons Donald Jr and Eric are well-known hunters – also gave more clues about his perhaps surprisingly critical views on the US Fish and Wildlife Service plan to allow imports of elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia, tweeting: “Big-game trophy decision will be announced next week but will be very hard pressed to change my mind that this horror show in any way helps conservation of Elephants or any other animal.” Returning to his racially tinged offensive, Trump singled out Marshawn Lynch of the Oakland Raiders for sitting down during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner. “Great disrespect!” tweeted the president, adding another dog whistle for the base when he pointed out that Lynch had stood up “for the Mexican anthem”. Black athletes have been protesting during the national anthem since the summer, to highlight police violence and racial injustice. Tuesday Sexual misconduct accusations against the Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore are a less divisive issue, at least outside Alabama – Moore has been condemned widely, including by numerous GOP figures. But after some prevaricating Trump came down on the candidate’s side. Asked the memorable question “Is Roy Moore, [allegedly] a child molester, better than a Democrat?”, Trump pointed out that Moore denied the claims against him, one of which involves a woman who was 14 at the time, and said: “I can tell you one thing for sure: we don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat.” Trump has himself been accused by numerous women of sexual harassment. He denies the claims. His stance prompted a rare show of unity from New York’s fiercely rivalrous tabloids: As Thanksgiving approached, Trump took part in the tradition of pardoning a couple of turkeys, with the White House Instagram account asking beforehand: “Which turkey should President Trump pardon?” Reports that Donald Trump Jr, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort were madly refreshing the page could not be confirmed at press time. Wednesday After getting up bright and early to resume his feuds with Ball and the kneeling NFL players, Trump informed his Twitter followers he would be “having meetings and working the phones from the Winter White House in Florida (Mar-a-Lago)”. (Donald, stop trying to make “Winter White House” happen – it’s not going to happen.) A White House spokesperson, however, was less on-message, telling press travelling with the president she expected a “low-key day”, according to the pool report shared by journalists. Within minutes, a correction arrived: “While the White House communications staff expects the press pool to have a ‘low-key day’, the president will NOT have a low-key day and has a full schedule of meetings and phone calls.” Just over an hour later, the Trump motorcade set off from Mar-a-Lago, arriving at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach at 9.26am. Various parts of the White House and Republican party had a similarly full schedule, in their case plugging various bits of Trump-related Christmas merch: Thursday Trump made a Thanksgiving visit to Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet in Florida, handing out sandwiches and asking one musclebound fellow if he could beat him at arm wrestling. He then spent four hours at his golf club, before heading back to Mar-a-Lago for a Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. The menu included “turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes w marshmallows, a variety of baked goods, local produce and cheeses, red snapper and Florida stone crab”, according to Melania’s spokeswoman. “Dessert includes various cakes and pies,” she added. But the worries of the world intruded with reports that lawyers for the former national security adviser Michael Flynn have stopped working with Trump’s team, suggesting Flynn may now be cooperating with the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US election and any links to Trump’s campaign. If true, that could be a worrying sign for the president. Friday Trump returned to the golf course on Friday at just after 9am, this time in the company of the professionals Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson – and unusually, he admitted as much on Twitter, perhaps unable to resist the name-drops. The president was careful, however, to make clear he would not spend the whole day on the green. “I will be heading over to Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson,” he tweeted. “Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!” He wrapped up at about 1.30pm, spending a similar amount of time there as he had the previous two days. “I play golf to relax,” Trump said in one of many tweets slamming Barack Obama’s golf habit in 2011. “My company is in great shape. @BarackObama plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain.” Since you’re here … … we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too. I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information. Thomasine F-R.

Twenty five years after the outrageous LM002 ended production, Lamborghini is getting back in the SUV game with a new model, the Urus. We haven't seen it in the flesh yet, but we actually know quite a lot about this new SUV. It's just two months away from making its debut, so in the meantime, let's get caught up on what we've already heard. In a video briefly posted to its YouTube page, it appears that Lamborghini itself revealed the Urus before its December 4th debut. A front three-quarter view of the Urus is shown on a screen that lists its driving modes. Lamborghini quickly took the video down, but as Carscoops points out, it was reposted elsewhere in short order. Lamborghini just released a teaser video of the Urus tearing around in some dunes, and we spotted an interesting detail. For a few frames, you can see its rear wheels steering out of phase with the fronts. So, it'll probably offer rear-wheel steering just like the Huracan and the Aventador, and its SUV platform-mate, the Porsche Cayenne. It's Set to Be the First Turbocharged Lamborghini Lamborghini is one of the few automakers that has stuck steadfastly to naturally aspirated engines, but that's set to change with the Urus. Company CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed earlier this year that the SUV would get a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 making 650 hp. Interestingly, this engine isn't the new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 developed by Porsche for use across the VW Group—Lambo's V8 is brand-exclusive. Lamborghini went for a twin-turbo V8 presumably to improve fuel economy, but also because it better suited the character of an SUV. In 2015, Lamborghini R&D boss Maurizio Reggiani said that a V8 would be light, and provide nice low-end torque. The Urus might have fewer cylinders than Lamborghini's other cars, but it's not lacking power—it'll have 10 more horsepower than the Huracan Performante and it won't be far off the 691-hp Aventador. There'll Be a Hybrid Version Too When Domenicali confirmed that the Urus would receive V8 power, he also mentioned that a plug-in hybrid model was coming too. We don't know too much about this powertrain, but it will utilize the regular Urus' V8, and it's not meant to be a high-performance model. Domenicali said that this is the version to get if you care about fuel economy. The Urus plug-in hybrid should arrive a year after the regular V8 model goes into production. It'll Be Fast Well obviously the Urus will be fast. It may be a family car, but it's a 650-hp Lamborghini too. How fast? Lamborghini says the Urus will hit at least 187 mph flat-out, and it'll be the quickest SUV at the Nürburgring. Currently, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio holds the SUV record at that famous German circuit with a 7:51.7 lap. Lamborghini shouldn't have too much trouble beating the Alfa considering its SUV makes nearly 150 more horsepower. It'll Share a Platform With Other VW Group SUVs The Urus might get an all-Lamborghini engine, but under the skin, it's closely related to the new Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, and Porsche Cayenne. These platform-mates are surprisingly different, so the Urus won't likely be just a fancied-up Q7. Starting Price Is Less Than $200,000 When Domenicali confirmed the Urus' twin-turbo V8, he also gave us an idea of US-market pricing. When the Urus arrives at dealers in the third quarter of 2018, it should start at less than $200,000. But of course, this is a luxury car, so options will undoubtedly drive that price way up if you're not careful. Lamborghini Will Crank Out 3500 Per Year Domenicali said Lamborghini will build 1000 units of the Urus in 2018, before ramping up to 3500 cars/year in 2019. That's a small number compared to, say, the Audi Q7, but it's big for Lamborghini—the company sold 3500 cars total last year, a record. To build the Urus, Lamborghini is massively expanding its Sant'Agata Bolognese factory. Considering how hot ultra-luxury SUVs are right now, Lamborghini will sell every single one it builds. We'll See It For Real Very Soon Lamborghini will reveal the production-spec Urus on December 4th, five years after the concept pictured made its debut. It might not be our sort of Lamborghini—we like the Huracan RWD and Performante, thanks for asking—but there's no doubt that a lot of people are excited for this car. And if it's even half as wild as the LM002, we could probably learn to love it too.

Zimbabwe must act quickly to dig its economy out of a hole and access international financial aid, the International Monetary Fund has warned. Government spending and foreign debt are too high and it needs structural reform, Zimbabwe mission chief Gene Leon told Reuters news agency. The country's incoming leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has pledged to grow the economy and provide "jobs, jobs, jobs". The once-thriving economy is now seen as a regional basket case. "The economic situation in Zimbabwe remains very difficult," Mr Leon told Reuters. He said high government spending should be reined in and Zimbabwe should address the large international debt it has defaulted on. "Immediate action is critical to reduce the deficit to a sustainable level, accelerate structural reforms, and re-engage with the international community to access much needed financial support," Mr Leon said. Five things Zimbabwe's economy urgently needs Ten numbers that will help you understand what's going on Mugabe has gone, but will Zimbabwe change? Robert Mugabe, who led Zimbabwe for 37 years, stepped down earlier this week under pressure from the military and his own Zanu-PF party. His policies, including disastrous land reforms and printing too much money, are blamed for the calamitous state of Zimbabwe's economy. On Thursday, Zimbabwe's main opposition called for deep-rooted political reform to dismantle the repressive apparatus that sustained Mr Mugabe's regime. The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said it was cautiously optimistic that a Mnangagwa presidency would not "mimic and replicate the evil, corrupt, decadent and incompetent Mugabe regime", reported AFP news agency. It is unclear whether Zanu-PF will govern alone ahead of scheduled elections next year, or whether a coalition government of national unity that includes opposition groups will be formed. Economic slide Zimbabwe's economy is half the size it was at the turn of the millennium. Zimbabwe has not had a currency of its own since 2009, when the old Zimbabwean dollar buckled under hyperinflation - which is said to have reached 231 million per cent, worse even than the notorious levels in Germany following World War One. Cash shortages mean Zimbabweans can often be seen queuing at banks. Economists say Zimbabwe needs a cash injection, but it has been barred from borrowing internationally since it began defaulting on its debt in 1999. Some residents of the country's capital, Harare, say they have already seen an improvement in their daily lives since the army came into the streets and Mr Mugabe was forced from office. One benefit, they say, is the absence of police road blocks on the streets where officers demanded bribes from those travelling around. "There used to be so many police roadblocks, with the driver having to pay $1 or $2 (75p-£1.50)" Spiwe Azvigumi, 31, an unemployed mother of three, told AFP. "With the police off the roads, crime is actually down - they were so corrupt and now we are living free."
