An air bag vest for cyclists is being demoed at the CES tech show in Las Vegas. The BBC's Chris Fox went to find out how it works.

The annual St Patrick's Day Parade in Washington DC has been cancelled for 2019, with the organisers citing high security costs. The St Patrick's Parade Committee of Washington DC said it was "distraught" to announce the cancellation. The committee is an all-volunteer, non-profit organisation. It said it would continue to raise funds so it could hold a parade in 2020 - the 50th anniversary of the first St Patrick's Day parade in the city. The committee said the costs of preventive security measures increased sharply after a 2016 truck attack at a fireworks display in Nice, France, in which 86 people were killed. "After the 2016 tragedy in Nice, France, the government of the District of Columbia has significantly increased preventative security requirements for public gatherings such as the St Patrick's Parade," the committee said. "The corresponding rapid increase in overhead, in combination with relatively stagnant funding, have put the committee in a precarious financial position." The committee said some expenses are off-set by a grant from the government of the District of Columbia. However, it said as costs have increased, "recently the grant has not had the same effect in reducing our financial burden". "This reality and the committee's steadfast commitment to holding the St Patrick's Parade of Washington, DC in 2020, its 50th year, have led us to the very difficult, but necessary, decision to cancel the 2019 St Patrick's Parade," it said. The committee said that St Patrick's parades would still take place in nearby Baltimore and Annapolis in 2019.

Former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn could be in jail for another six months, his lawyer says. On Tuesday, Mr Ghosn appeared in court for the first time since his shock arrest in Japan in November last year. Accused of financial misconduct, he told the court he had been "wrongly accused and unfairly detained". Mr Ghosn, 64, was once hailed as the man who saved Nissan. He was led into court in handcuffs with a rope around his waist. Mr Ghosn, a towering figure of the car industry, also looked visibly thinner. Carlos Ghosn: The relentless 'cost killer' Five charts on the Carlos Ghosn scandal Ghosn charged over pay accusations So far, Mr Ghosn has been arrested three times. His current detention period ends on 11 January. Asked whether his client could expect to be bailed at the end of this detention period, his lawyer, Motonari Otsuru, said: "In general, in such cases in Japan, it is usually not approved before the first trial takes place." He then said that it could be six months before that first trial was held. His initial arrest shocked the industry and his lengthy detention has drawn some criticism. But a judge said incarcerating Mr Ghosn was justified to prevent possible evidence-tampering and the risk that he might flee. What are the accusations? Mr Ghosn, who was hailed as the man who saved Nissan by building alliance with Renault, has been accused of "significant acts of misconduct", including under-reporting his pay package and personal use of company assets. The 64-year-old executive is accused of moving personal investment losses worth 1.85bn yen (£13.3m; $17m) racked up on foreign exchange dealings to Nissan. Mr Ghosn says he did ask the company to take on collateral temporarily for his foreign exchange contracts, but that it did not lose any money through this move. He said if he had not been able to do this, he would have had to resign and use his retirement allowance as collateral instead. Mr Ghosn is also accused of making $14.7m in payments to Saudi businessman Khaled al-Juffali, using Nissan funds in exchange for arranging a letter of credit to help with his investment losses. If found guilty of the financial misconduct charges, Mr Ghosn faces up to 10 years in prison as well as a fine of up to 700m yen ($6.4m; £5m), according to Japanese regulators. He told the Tokyo District court: "I have been wrongly accused and unfairly detained, based on meritless and unsubstantiated accusations." Mr Ghosn said he had "never been accused of any wrongdoing" and had dedicated two decades to "reviving Nissan". The 64-year-old said he never received any compensation from Nissan that was not disclosed. He was first arrested on 19 November for understating his pay and rearrested twice in December. His most recent arrest involved fresh allegations of breach of trust. Who is Carlos Ghosn? His hero status was such that his life was serialised in one of Japan's famous cartoon comic books The Brazilian-born boss of Lebanese descent and a French citizen says his background left him with a feeling of being different, which helped him adapt to new cultures In France he was known as Le Cost Killer, a comment on the deep cuts he made to revive Renault He was once tipped as a potential president of Lebanon, a move he eventually dismissed because he already had "too many jobs" In a 2011 poll of people the Japanese would like to run their country, Mr Ghosn came seventh, in front of Barack Obama (ninth)

A lot has changed for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since he swept to power almost four years ago. What hurdles does he face as he heads into another election year? Shortly after he was elected, Justin Trudeau grabbed international headlines for a breezy quip explaining his gender-balanced cabinet: "Because it's 2015". The come-from-behind ascent of the young leader marked a new era of progressive Liberal politics in Canada after voters ousted a Conservative government that had been in power for nearly a decade. His government has kept some promises since: it overhauled the child benefits scheme, legalised recreational cannabis, and gave parents the option of taking an extended parental leave. But there were fumbles along the way: a disastrous overseas trip to India, broken promises on electoral reform and on short-term deficits. Now, heading into his fourth year in office, his government is sounding a little less breezy and looking a little more battle-scarred. It's not surprising to see a politician nearing the end of his or her mandate hit "a patch of malaise or quicksand with the electorate," says Shachi Kurl, executive director of the Angus Reid Institute, a not-for-profit national polling firm. "We all remember what felt like the never-ending honeymoon, but his approval has been deteriorating over time." With a federal election scheduled for next October and analysts warning of possible trouble ahead, what are the challenges facing Trudeau as he seeks a second mandate?

A veteran US Navy Seal is accused of killing Iraqi civilians at random, stabbing to death a teenage prisoner and nearly a dozen other crimes. Navy Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher will plead not guilty when he appears at a hearing at a San Diego naval base, his lawyer said on Friday. Prosecutors say the highly decorated sniper and medic killed innocent people during his eighth combat deployment. The 19-year Navy combat veteran faces life in prison if found guilty. Military investigators allege Chief Gallagher committed several crimes while in Mosul from February to September 2017, including the premeditated murder of a wounded Islamic State (IS) fighter around the age of 15. He has been held in pre-trial confinement ahead of his criminal hearing, after prosecutors accused him of contacting witnesses. His wife Andrea Gallagher has called the trial "an atrocity committed against America's service members" and called upon President Donald Trump to intervene. She, and handful of other supporters wearing "Free Eddie" shirts, cheered the combat veteran as he arrived at the courthouse in handcuffs on Friday.

Price: From £135,000 (est) On sale: Mid-2019 The next Bentley Flying Spur saloon has recently been spied testing. Based on an extended-wheelbase version of the Continental GT’s MSB platform, it’s likely to boast a 6.0-litre W12 with 626bhp and 900Nm of torque. The new platform also supports 48V electrification, so expect fresh tech from the Continental such as active anti-roll bars and a plug-in hybrid. Our spy shot shows a heavily masked test mule, but the overall shape suggests it’ll adopt the Continental’s wider grille, fresh headlights and updated tail-lamps.

China is a relative late-bloomer when it comes to the world of space exploration. But just 15 years after it first sent an astronaut into orbit, China has become the first country to successfully land a robotic spacecraft on the far side of the Moon. And in the next decades it plans not only to build a new space station, but also a base on the Moon and conduct missions to Mars. Importantly, Xi Jinping, the country's most powerful leader since Chairman Mao, has thrown his support behind the "space dream" - and with it billions in investment. Chinese state media, meanwhile, have cast the "space dream" as one step in the path to "national rejuvenation". So why are President Xi and China so keen to make their mark in space - and what does it mean for the rest of the world? Sending a message According to Prof Keith Hayward, a fellow of the UK's Royal Aeronautical Society, China is being driven by the same motivations as the US, Russia and others. First, demand from the military, without which "you would not have had half the money going in". China mission lands on Moon's far side Second, as "a good way to show off". "You could say that this is the space Silk Road - it demonstrates China is a force to be reckoned with," Prof Hayward notes. Third, hitherto untapped resources which have the potential to make whoever finds them wealthy. "It is the classic triad that has driven investment in space for the better part of 50 odd years," he told the BBC.

Democrats have vowed to pass bills that would end a government shutdown as they took control of the US House of Representatives on Thursday. But the bills will not include funding for President Donald Trump's Mexican border wall, the cause of the shutdown. The impasse will therefore continue, as Republicans still control the Senate and say they will not pass the funding bills without Mr Trump's approval. The partial shutdown has now lasted 13 days, affecting some 800,000 workers. Shutdowns occur when Congress fails to approve a budget for government operations, or the president refuses to sign it, by a certain deadline. Mr Trump's Republicans had passed a budget bill including $5bn (£4bn) funding for the wall in December, when they still had a majority in the House but they could not get the necessary 60 votes in the 100-seat Senate. The House majority has passed to the Democrats following the November mid-term elections. The impact of the government shutdown The remarkable comeback of America's most powerful woman Lawmaker to take oath on Jefferson's Koran What are the Democrats planning? Nancy Pelosi, who is the new House majority leader, said the Democrats would quickly pass budget legislation providing sufficient funds to end the shutdown. But she was quite clear what it would not include. Speaking on the Today show on Thursday, she reiterated: "Nothing for the wall." "There is no amount of persuasion he can do to say to us, 'We want you to do something that is not effective, that costs billions of dollars,'" she said. "That sends the wrong message about who we are as a country." Ms Pelosi also said she believed a sitting president could be indicted - although Justice Department guidelines disagree. How women are changing the face of Congress How US mid-terms just got worse for Trump The Democrats will try again to pass the blame for the shutdown on to the president, pointing out that the bills they will pass would be similar to legislation that had won bipartisan support in the Senate in December before Mr Trump signalled he would not back it. "We're asking the president to open up government," Ms Pelosi said. "We have given the Republicans a chance to take yes for an answer." One Democrat bill would temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security until 8 February, while another measure would fund other departments closed by the partial shutdown until 30 September. The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, has said Republicans there will not back measures that Mr Trump does not support. He called the Democrats' move a "total nonstarter" and a "political sideshow". The BBC's David Willis says the legislation would be dead on arrival in the Senate.
