Three men have been arrested after police raided a traveller site in Lincolnshire as part of an investigation into cockfighting. More than 50 officers carried out warrants at the site in Beckingham, near Newark, on Friday in a joint operation with the RSPCA. The men, aged 33, 45 and 52, were arrested on suspicion of being involved in, or attending, organised animal fights, Lincolnshire Police said. They remain in custody. A number of items were also seized, including cockerels, dogs, a suspected stolen caravan, two vans and a quad bike. 'Cruel blood sport' "The execution of the warrants, which allow for areas of the site to be searched, is part of a wider investigation into the illegal activity of cockerel fighting," a police spokesperson said. "[It] is a cruel blood sport that in some areas continues almost 200 years after it was made illegal," they added. According to the RSPCA, cockerels used for fighting are bred specifically for the purpose, and trained using practice birds, with muffs used to cover their sharp claws, or spurs. Those involved often fight birds to the death and a winning bird can become a "champion" after just a few victories. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-69059125

Kia has been on an EV tear lately, and it’s not stopping with the EV6 or the EV9. It was only a matter of time before the latter’s blocky, attractive design language proliferated elsewhere in the lineup, and next up is the upcoming Kia EV3. Not only that, Kia also just announced the subcompact SUV will indeed make it to the United States market. For a market relatively starved for affordable EVs, this is a big deal! During a preview event held during April’s Milan Design Week in Italy, we got up close and personal with base and GT-Line EV3 models. They weren’t quite production-ready, but they were very close. And to set immediate expectations, this opportunity was design-focused, with very few technical specifications to share. But what few specs Kia did share are impressive, and historically, the automaker has stayed true with its concept-to-production claims. Should the EV3 deliver on these promises, U.S. buyers will have a very attractive option. Design As soon as the EV9 made its debut, you must have known its looks were too good not to share. Unsurprisingly, they translate well to the far smaller EV3. With a surprisingly long wheelbase and short overhangs, the spunky new Kia is sized between a subcompact and a compact SUV. Practically speaking, it occupies roughly the footprint as a Ford Bronco Sport, just shorter in height. Kia’s head of global design, Karim Habib, said the EV3 is a crossover in concept, but he and his team wanted to do something more geometric. As such, there are a lot of upright lines that provide visual bulk, and the vertical light fixtures typically seen on much bigger vehicles are applied here. It all works and results in a fun little package that visually presents bigger than it is, which is the reverse effect of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The ground clearance isn’t as high as, say, a Subaru Crosstrek, but Kia says this is to improve aerodynamic flow and therefore efficiency. The base and GT-Line models we saw don’t look super different from each other, but an easy way to tell—apart from the badging—are the wheels and that the GT-Line has high-gloss body cladding. The Base also has a metal garnish running along the bottoms of its doors, whereas the GT-Line's panel is body-color. We think the Base looks better in this regard (what happened to no piano black?) and will probably be easier to keep clean. We're also not super sold on the floating roof design, as it feels like a trend from 2015, but, overall, the EV3 is indeed a very modern and cool take on the subcompact segment. It’s especially striking when viewed in profile, because then you can really see how close to the corners designers pushed the wheels and how long the doors truly are. Interior As its boxy exterior suggests, the EV3’s cabin is spacious and offers abundant headroom. The flat floors mean you have more freedom to spread out, despite Kia saying it raised passenger floor height to accommodate battery and electronics packaging. The 30-inch driver information cluster and infotainment screen combination from the EV9 appears in the EV3, as do physical buttons and knobs for volume and climate controls. It’s all driven by the same ccNC operating system, with its ChatGTP-based AI voice assistant. The functional front center console includes an armrest, a little table that slides out, and a cubby beneath for bulkier objects. It offers a very intuitive flow. Kia also claims Vehicle to Load, or V2L, capabilities that will power small electrical appliances like “a coffee machine or hairdryer” when the car is parked. There is an optional 12.0-inch head-up display on certain trims, but no leather will be found in any EV3—a nod to the company’s sustainability aims. For those who need further validation of their choice, a hidden QR code on the passenger-side dashboard takes you to Kia’s sustainability site where you can learn about the sugar-cane-based dashboard, recycled PET in the carpet and headliners, and exterior panels made from recycled Kia parts. Storage options include a tiny front trunk and a reasonably sized rear cargo space that has a two-step floor that can be repositioned for extra room or to hide items below. This feature—while not revolutionary to car design—is not widely implemented but is always handy. That said, final specs and finishes may vary from market to market, so it remains to be seen what will make it to the U.S. The Specs We Do Have Riding on the versatile Hyundai/Kia E-GMP EV platform, the EV3 has an 81.4-kWh battery, up from the typical 77.4-kWh battery found in related models. We’re told to expect an EPA range of around 300 miles. The EV3 will also be the first production car to use Kia’s new i-Pedal 3.0 tech that lets you change the aggressiveness of the regenerative braking during one-pedal driving. At this precise moment, the EV3 will compete with the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, but this comparison already feels wack: The Toyota and Subaru are fine cars but less-than-stellar EVs, and Kia already has a reputation of building stellar EVs. There’s also a parallel to the Volkswagen ID4, which is solid, but the Kia will benefit from newer technology and its more stylish design. Kia has announced a target price range in the U.S. of between $35,000 and $50,000—the latter likely covering an eventual dual-motor GT model, with the GT-Line falling in between. The EV3 launches in Korea this July, in Europe in late 2024, and in the U.S. “after ’25.” The goal is to sell up to 80,000 units in the U.S. alongside the Niro, with that model transitioning to mostly hybrid variants. The timing is likely related to sourcing production in North America to maximize affordability by qualifying for the full $7,500 tax incentive. There are already too many too-expensive EVs but not enough small and affordable ones, so it’s a segment that definitely needs broadening. Kia was the first to bring a non-luxury three-row EV to market with the EV9. It's on track to perform a similar trick with the EV3. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2026-kia-ev3-first-look-review/

Toulouse's Thomas Ramos kicked three extra-time penalties to help edge out Leinster in a pulsating Investec Champions Cup final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Wing Matthis Lebel scored the first try in extra time for the French side, before team-mate Richie Arnold was sent off for a dangerous clearout at a ruck. Leinster took advantage and scored through Josh van der Flier, but replacement Ramos sealed Toulouse's sixth European Cup crown with two penalties in the second half of extra time. Ciaran Frawley, also on as a replacement, could have won the game for the Irish province in normal time, but dragged a last-minute drop-goal wide. The result means Leinster have now lost three Champions Cup finals in a row, after back-to-back defeats by La Rochelle. Victory means Toulouse are now two titles clear of Leinster as the most successful club in European rugby. Toulouse beat Leinster to win sixth European Cup - as it happened Leinster come up short again Last year's final felt like the perfect chance for Leinster to bring home that fifth European star, racing into a 17-point lead at home in Dublin before Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle mounted a tremendous comeback. A beautiful day in London exploded into a similar frantic opening period, even without the mad scoring to show for it. Toulouse thought they had struck first when Antoine Dupont produced a spectacular offload, but his opposite number Jamison Gibson-Park managed to force the mercurial captain into touch. The Top 14 side, who last won the competition in 2021, took the lead through two well-struck Blair Kinghorn penalties from distance, before Ross Byrne got Leinster on the board. It was a bold selection call to start the Scotland full-back over the high-percentage goal-kicking of Ramos. But Kinghorn was picked for his well-rounded game and his chase back to prevent Dan Sheehan getting over showed just that - preventing what looked a certain try as Dupont won the subsequent penalty. For the neutral last year, an Ireland v France World Cup final was what many wanted, for the atmosphere and quality that would have been on display. With 14 French internationals and 20 Irish on display in London there was proper Test-match intensity, with both defences putting in monstrous hits and only another penalty apiece kicked before the break. Cool Ramos kicks Toulouse to glory Leo Cullen's side have knocked out the French giants convincingly at the semi-final stage in Dublin over the past two seasons. But finals are different. The Irish province won the Champions Cup in 2018 against Racing 92 without scoring a try, and when Byrne levelled the game that looked the likely way to victory again. Double World Cup-winning coach Jacques Nienaber was brought in by Cullen to help bring South Africa’s mentality of closing out finals. However, with nothing between the teams heading into extra time, it was instead Ugo Mola's side who showed the temperament required to win Europe's biggest prize. After James Lowe was yellow carded, Lebel raced down the wing and produced a smile of someone who had just scored the winning try in a Champions Cup final. Dupont, named player of the match, may have sacrificed the 2024 Six Nations in hope of playing sevens at a home Olympics, however, when it came to Toulouse and Europe he made it clear he was not going to miss any big games. But it was the cool head of Ramos, who was also on the bench for Toulouse's semi-final victory over Harlequins, that delivered the crushing blows to Leinster. The Top 14 side scored a bucketload of tries throughout the competition to secure top seeds - and avoid another trip to Dublin - heading into the knockout stages. This neutral venue in London proved vital as Dupont's side proved why they are the ultimate kings of Europe. Line-ups Leinster: Keenan; Larmour, Henshaw, Osborne, Lowe; R Byrne, Gibson-Park; Porter, Sheehan, Furlong, McCarthy, Jenkins, Baird, Connors, Doris (capt). Replacements: Kelleher, Healy, Ala'alatoa, Ryan, Conan, McGrath, Frawley, Van der Flier. Sin-bin: Lowe (81) Toulouse: Kinghorn; Mallia, Costes, Ahki, Lebel; Ntamack, Dupont (capt); Baille, Mauvaka, Aldegheri, Flament, Meafou, Willis, Cros, Roumat. https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/articles/cn00l357zpjo

This corporate dress code is all about working it. Trousers, blazers, button-ups, pantsuits and vests are flourishing beyond sterile, fluorescent-lighted offices. The long-mandated business casual professional attire has gotten a new, high-fashion take, dubbed “corpcore,” and celebrity style savants like Zendaya are on board. “What people are finding is going back to classics has longer lasting effects,” New York City stylist and model Bernadett Vajda told The Post, adding that she’s noticed her clients longing for a wardrobe refresh post-pandemic. She added: “I mean, it’s true for me, too, personally. I just want clean, tailored clothes.” New data from Pinterest revealed a 950% surge in searches for “corporate chic,” while users show more interest in “geek chic,” pinstripe pants, skirts, vests and blazers. Now, the social networking platform is predicting “corpcore” will become one of the dominating aesthetics this summer. A slightly more modest cousin to the sultry “office siren,” the tailored trend is the latest iteration of the age-old cubicle classic — an uncharacteristic choice for Gen Z who have traditionally opted for sneakers, jeans and shorts in the workplace. “A shirt and tie wouldn’t have been considered subversive 10, 15 years ago,” Laura Reilly, the founder and editor of Magasin, told Coveteur. “But with the last of the corporate workforce largely freed of their dress codes since remote work became at least partially the norm post-COVID, the building blocks of ‘business formal’ can take on new meaning.” But, after all, Zoomers are obsessed with ’90s vintage — considered anything more than 20 years old — so it’s no wonder that turn-of-the-century business casual is coming back en vogue. Some have mused that “corpcore” — alternately known as “corp-core” — is merely a second coming of “quiet luxury,” the minimalist yet chic style encapsulated by The Row and Jil Sanders during an era of the Aritzia-fueled “clean girl” aesthetic. But as designers go back to the drawing board to reimagine corporate couture, there’s more edge than the long-reigning minimalists have gravitated towards, this time with a bit more skin and sharp silhouettes. “Trendy young professionals who are in the office for the first time want to dress work-appropriate without compromising style, so we’re seeing more of our office-ready pieces jump off the site,” Caroline Maguire, the fashion director for Shopbop, told Coveteur. Victoria Beckham, for one, launched a collection in collaboration with Mango last month, offering luxury items at a fraction of the cost: sleek blazers with camouflaged buttons, Oxfords with cut-outs, vests with jutted shoulders and wool trousers with an exaggerated flare. Prada, and its subsidiary Miu Miu, have become a kingpin of corporate chic, and the label, helmed by Miuccia Prada and co-creative director Raf Simons, also debuted a collection of 9-to-5 ready-to-wear for fall/winter 2024 at Milan Fashion Week, during which viewers were seated in office chairs. Meanwhile, A-list trendsetters have also been sporting the upgraded 9-to-5 uniform. At Gucci’s Cruise 2025 show in London, Lila Moss, the daughter of Kate Moss, wore a buttoned-up, butter-yellow blazer and matching hot shorts. And, in recent months, both Hailey Bieber and Naomi Campbell have donned pinstripe suits, Zendaya appeared on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show wearing a gray mini dress in the silhouette of a blazer and Kendall Jenner opted for a green power suit for an appearance. On the first weekend of Coachella, up-and-coming pop sensation Chappell Roan walked onto stage fashioned in a plaid pantsuit, toting a bejeweled briefcase. And most recently, Tyra Banks celebrated being a Sports Illustrated Swim legend for the magazine’s anniversary edition by vamping up a power suit. Most notably, the humble blazer has become a wardrobe centerpiece, worn alone as a dress, with jeans or paired with matching trousers as a set. Unlike the 2010s day-to-night blazers of yore — which only millennials will remember wearing to the club — today’s sport coats are getting a facelift with a defined structure akin to the ’80s fanfare over shoulder pads and cinched waists. Vajda likened the statement jackets to the design of an Alexander McQueen blazer, the “epitome of structural, feminine, strong.” Partaking in “corpcore” with a bold blazer, then, “makes you stand out by owning one piece or jacket.” “When you have that, it sets you apart from the oversized, from the person who’s not tailoring their clothes. It just sets you apart when you make those little adjustments,” Vajda said. “So when you’re buying something with a shoulder pad — it’s like inching your way into defining your personal style a little bit more than other people’s.” https://nypost.com/2024/05/24/lifestyle/corpcore-takes-9-to-5-chic-to-the-streets-how-business-formal-became-hot-again/

A pilot has died after a Spitfire crashed in a field close to an RAF station in Lincolnshire, officials said. Emergency services were called to the field off Langrick Road, Coningsby shortly before 13:20 BST on Saturday. The iconic aircraft belonged to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight based at nearby RAF Coningsby, the RAF said. It added a "comprehensive investigation" will be completed and it will not speculate on the cause of the crash. The RAF statement reads: "It is with great sadness that we must confirm the death of an RAF pilot in a tragic accident near RAF Coningsby today. "The pilot's family have been informed and we ask that their privacy is respected at this difficult time." Earlier, Lincolnshire Police said the aircraft came down in a field off Langrick Road, which runs alongside the perimeter of the RAF station. Road closures are in place around Dogdyke Road and Sandy Bank, with motorists asked to avoid the area. RAF Coningsby is the home of the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF). According to its website, BBMF operates six Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster, a C47 Dakota, and two Chipmunk aircraft used for training. The aircraft are flown by regular RAF aircrew. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-69056052

Former health secretary Lord Ken Clarke has been criticised for his handling of the contaminated blood scandal by a Conservative colleague. Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said Lord Clarke needed to answer "very serious questions" over his involvement in the 1980s. Mr Stride's criticism comes after the final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry accused Lord Clarke of "misleading" the public and rebuked him for his "combative style" when he gave oral evidence to the probe. Lord Clarke has been contacted by the BBC for comment about the scandal, which saw 30,000 people infected with HIV and hepatitis between 1970 and 1991. Campaigners have demanded an apology from the veteran Conservative, who was health secretary from 1988 to 1990, amid calls for him to lose his peerage. Asked if he feels Lord Clarke has questions to answer, Mr Stride told Sky News: "There are clearly questions that are being posed, very serious questions, and to that degree indeed there are questions that need to be addressed." He also said stripping Lord Clarke of his peerage is a matter for the relevant committee. Mr Stride told the broadcaster: "I think some have been calling for his knighthood to be removed. That's a matter for the forfeiture committee, not for Government or me really, I think, to opine on that level." He added many groups of people had "come out of this report very badly". Others criticised in the report include former prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and Sir John Major, as well as haemophiliac specialist Prof Arthur Bloom and the NHS. The chairman of The Haemophilia Society, Clive Smith, told LBC Radio on Tuesday that Lord Clarke had given evidence which was "breathtaking in the extreme". Mr Smith, who is a barrister, said the former health secretary should apologise for his "lack of humanity and compassion" at the inquiry, as well as his involvement at the time. The society had written a letter to the House of Lords when it was suggested that Lord Clarke was going to get a peerage, asking officials to wait until the inquiry had finished. He said: "Now we have the conclusions of the Infected Blood Inquiry report, I think our letter was well-timed and entirely accurate. "The way in which he gave his evidence (to the inquiry) was appalling." Back in 1983, a statement from Lord Clarke was published in an Aids leaflet and a press release, that said: "It has been suggested that Aids may be transmitted in blood or blood products. There is no conclusive proof that this is so." The inquiry heard how that statement was repeated over several years, despite the Department of Health understanding that it was "likely" that Aids was transmitted through blood and blood products. Defending this in 2021, Lord Clarke told the inquiry: “The ‘no conclusive proof’ phrase – these three words are taken out as though they are loaded with significance. "The term ‘no conclusive proof’ is a perfectly accurate description of the then-medical opinion." However, inquiry chairman Sir Brian Langstaff said ministers should have challenged the 'no conclusive proof' line. He said: "This line to take, whilst technically correct, was indefensible. "It did not spell out the real risk. It gave false reassurance. "It lacked candour and, by not telling the whole truth, was misleading." In the 1980s, the government decided against any form of compensation to people infected with HIV, with then-health minister Lord Clarke saying there would be no state scheme to compensate those suffering "the unavoidable adverse effects" of medical procedures. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's official spokesman said individuals named in the inquiry should respond on their own behalf. He said: "When it comes to individuals and groups who are named in the report, the report is obviously incredibly wide-ranging and names a number of groups and individuals. "It will be up to individuals to respond rather than me. "We will obviously, from our part, be taking forward the recommendations both on compensation and looking at the wider recommendations meticulously and responding as soon as possible." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd11xq5zereo

A conservation centre in Kent is appealing for information after one of its exotic animals escaped. On Sunday keepers at Hemsley Conservation Centre near Fairseat found one of its tayras had left after damage to weld mesh. The tayra, which is part of the weasel family, was last seen at 15:00 BST on Monday near Brands Hatch by the A20. A conservation centre spokesperson said: "Our keepers are naturally distraught and her welfare is our number one priority." "We have informed the local authorities and are confident that we can recover her safely but will require your assistance in doing so," the spokesperson added in a message on social media. The centre said it was conducting a full investigation and could not rule out foul play. Anyone who sees the tayra, which is native to Central and South America, is asked to not approach it and to contact the centre immediately. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv223me45mvo

With the discontinuation of the Insight two years ago, Honda was without a standalone compact hybrid to compete with the likes of Toyota's Prius or its newer Corolla Hybrid. That hole in Honda's lineup has just been refilled by a familiar name: The Honda Civic Hybrid, a Civic variant that hasn't been sold since 2015. Honda has had on-again, off-again Civic Hybrid variants over the years, with on-again, off-again overlap with the Insight, but one thing all of those fuel-sipping compact gas-electric Hondas had in common? Sloth. The new-for-2025 Honda Civic Hybrid is still expected to deliver big MPG, but alongside much more power and a refreshed Civic lineup overall. For the 2025 model year, the Honda Civic is again offered in LX and Sport trims on the sedan and hatchback. Both trims carry over last year's 2.0-liter I-4 engine and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), though the LX has been dropped from the hatchback lineup (it's sedan-only now, leaving the Sport as the base hatch) and word of the manual's availability on the Sport hatchback is forthcoming. The real change comes to the top half of the lineup. In place of last year's Civic sedan EX and Touring trims, as well as the equivalent Civic hatchback EX-L and Sport Touring guises, are the hybrid-only Civic Sport Hybrid and Civic Sport Touring Hybrid sedan and hatchbacks. Positioned as the most powerful and best-equipped trim levels of the “civilian” Civic lineup—in other words, not the high-performance Type R or sporty, stick-shift-only Civic Si—the hybridized Sport trims will come with a version of the larger Accord's gas engine and two-motor hybrid powertrain that's more powerful than the turbo 1.5-liter I-4 engine included on last year's EX, EX-L, Touring, and Sport Touring Civics. Wait, It’s More Powerful Than The Si? With 200 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque from their hybridized 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4, the hybrid Civics actually deliver more power than the Civic Si sedan that lives one rung up the Civic performance ladder. (This echoes the strategy employed by the newest Toyota Prius, our 2024 Car of the Year, which blends a big power upgrade with typical Prius efficiency.) This news may be distressing to Si and Honda enthusiasts, but Honda assures us the Sport Hybrids and Si will live on together—the former won't eat the latter—as each serves a different customer. The Si is for those seeking affordable traditional performance and a six-speed manual transmission. The Sport Hybrids are for buyers who want either the sedan and five-door with cool tech, solid fuel economy, and don’t mind that there isn’t a transmission to deal with. All Motor, Sort Of Much like Honda's other hybrids using this same two-motor setup, the 2025 Honda Civic Sport Hybrids do not have a traditional transmission, not even a CVT. Instead, the larger of the two electric motors (the other is a starter/generator) does the primary motivation of the Civic Sport Hybrids, with the gas engine spinning the generator as needed to deliver electricity to the drive motor. At higher speeds, the 2.0-liter gas engine is clutched directly into a single-speed drive to the front wheels, an arrangement deemed more efficient. Since the engine is merely acting as a generator at city speeds, with all acceleration handled by the primary electric motor, it's ultimately quite fuel efficient. In the larger Accord, for example, this powertrain can deliver up to 51 mpg city, 44 mpg highway, and 48 mpg combined (on its smallest wheels and tires). In the smaller and lighter Civic, it should be good enough for “nearly 50 mpg,” according to Honda. Final EPA estimates are forthcoming, but we figure it is possible the Civics could out-perform the Accords—even the big-wheel Sport Touring versions. Drivers will also be able to choose between Economy, Normal, and Sport driving modes in the hybrid models, so expect that fuel economy for the best-case scenario. Regardless, that’s still an impressive number to just call out. Hybrid drivers will enjoy Economy, Normal, and Sport drive mode choices, and be able to take advantage of four levels of regenerative braking strength. While it won’t totally make up for the engine braking done during downshifting for a corner, utilizing the selector paddles can deliver some satisfaction while also putting power back into the lithium-ion battery pack located under the rear seat. Considering that the upcoming Honda Prologue and future all-electrics will have a similar feature, it’s a great way to associate "performance" with electric driving. Sort of. No All-Electric Drive Mode Unlike in the Accord, there is no driver-selectable EV-only drive mode (even if the parameters for achieving gas-free motoring in that model are arduous and the electric-only range severely limited compared to, say, plug-in hybrids with larger batteries). The gas engine will virtually always run to provide the power for the primary traction motor and battery pack, except when not needed or under light acceleration. There also isn’t a plug-in hybrid version in the cards for now, but Honda hasn’t said if a version will ever become available. Regardless, Honda expects up to 40 percent of sales of the 2025 Civic be hybrid versions; this seems achievable simply by dint of Honda's new trim level structure, in which fully half of all available Civics are hybrids, but cost will be crucial. If the Sport Hybrids are too expensive, take rates could suffer. Keep in mind, unlike Toyota, whose Corolla Hybrid is essentially a separate, parallel model to the gas version, Honda is blending the Civic Sport Hybrids into the primary lineup, with no similarly equipped alternatives without the hybrid gear onboard offering the same features at a lower price point. But Wait, There's More! Hybrid or otherwise, every member of the new Civic sedan and hatchback lineups wear subtly revised styling. Up front, the fascia and grille appear more aggressive, with the hood plunging deeper over the Honda badge for a more shark-nosed effect and a larger and wider lower air inlet. Taillights on the sedans get a darker tint than before, while Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrids wear dark trim and new wheel designs. All hybrid models will get new exterior colors including Solar Silver Metallic and Urban Gray Pearl. Two other new colors will be exclusive to their body type with Blue Lagoon Pearl being exclusive to the sedan and Sand Dune Pearl exclusive to the five-door. A New Office Inside, the 2025 Honda Civic Sport Hybrids offer the same black or gray interior color options as did the 2024 Civic, and the cabins of every Civic are mostly carryover. That's a good thing, considering how stylish, easy to use, and well-screwed-together the current Civic's innards are. Standard equipment for the Sport Hybrids includes a moonroof, heated front seats, and dual zone climate controls. Honda also gives the hybrids a unique white trim surrounding their air vents, as well as a digital gauge cluster with hybrid-specific graphics. Otherwise, the lack of an engine “start-stop” button in the center console is the only other major change between the Hybrids' cabins and the gas Civics. You’ll also find dual USB-C ports on the front dashboard, just beside the 12-volt power port below the HVAC controls. Just below them, you’ll find the wireless smartphone charger in the center console. If you opt for the five-door Sport Touring Hybrid, you’ll gain leather seating, a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, and a nine-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features. Another unique feature for the five-door hybrid is Civics first integration of Google built-In. Rather than just rely on your Android smartphone to use Google features, the Civic Sport Touring Hybrid will have Assistant, Maps, and other apps through Google Play readily available to the driver and front passenger. It will also come with a three-year unlimited data plan to utilize the connected features. Coming Soon The 2025 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid (and, it's assumed the LX and Sport models) will be available in the summer and manufactured at the Alliston, Ontario, Canada plant for the sedan and the Greensburg, Indiana plant for the five-door. The engine and dual-motor hybrid unit will be built at Honda plants in Ohio. No official prices have been announced, but Honda expects these top-of-the-line hybrids to start below $30,000 before delivery charges are added. We feel its fair to say that, based on the current 2024 Civic lineup pricing, the MSRPs of the Sport Hybrid sedan will most likely range from $28,000 to $34,000 while the five-door Sport Touring Hybrid MSRP will cost a few hundred bucks more. Expect the Civic LX sedan and Sport sedan and hatchback variants to hew closer to the MSRPs of today's models. https://www.motortrend.com/news/2025-honda-civic-hybrid-first-look-review/

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has left the club by mutual consent after just one season at Stamford Bridge. Pochettino, 52, took charge of Chelsea on 1 July, signing a two-year contract with the option of a further year. The Argentine was under pressure after an underwhelming first half of the season but a run of five successive wins to end the season ensured they finished sixth in the Premier League. Chelsea were also runners-up in the Carabao Cup and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. "Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and sporting directors for the opportunity," Pochettino said. "The club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come." Pochettino was Chelsea's sixth permanent manager in five years, following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, which led to Frank Lampard taking charge on a temporary basis at the end of the 2022-23 season. "On behalf of everyone at Chelsea, we would like to express our gratitude to Mauricio for his service this season," sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said. "He will be welcome back to Stamford Bridge any time and we wish him all the very best in his future coaching career." Coaches Jesus Perez, Miguel d’Agostino, Toni Jimenez and Sebastiano Pochettino have also left. Amicable exit Pochettino, whose tenure falls just short of 12 months, is understood to have departed on very amicable terms; he felt leaving was the right decision following discussions with senior club officials. He had been seen as the man to mould Chelsea into credible title contenders again after their £747m expenditure on transfers during the 2022-23 campaign. The Argentine also enjoyed a significant budget, with a further £400m-plus spent on players, including Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, Moises Caicedo and Christopher Nkunku. Chelsea won 27 of their 51 fixtures under Pochettino, losing 14 and drawing 10. The west London side spent the majority of the season in the bottom half of the table but their form improved towards its end. Defeat in extra time against a much-depleted Liverpool in the final of the Carabao Cup led to widespread criticism for the former Tottenham and Paris St-Germain manager. Pochettino appeared to win back some support following a 6-0 thrashing of Everton in April and a 5-0 victory against West Ham in May, although Chelsea did fall to a 5-0 loss at Arsenal in between those two results. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c1ww8xw8nywo

This old ring had her feeling blue. A Tennessee TikTok influencer said she felt epically betrayed after discovering that her husband proposed using his ex-fiancée’s engagement ring. She detailed the cheapskate’s jewelry recycling scheme in a video with 4 million views on TikTok. “I don’t even know how to feel right now,” Bella Blake, 28, gushed in the clip, detailing her alleged mistreatment at the hands of the unnamed bozo. The Clarksville resident described how she had been gushing about the bauble, whose origin was unknown to her at the time, Caters News Agency reported. “I came home and was talking about how much I love this ring…I do and it’s beautiful,” recalled the scorned wife while flashing the finger trinket to the camera. “I love it so much.” That’s when her sneaky soulmate dropped the bombshell. “He was like ‘Oh yeah Erica loved it too,'” described the appalled influencer while choking back tears. “And I was like ‘Erica?’ The other girl you were going to marry? You guys were engaged for a whole year?” She continued, “And he goes, ‘Yeah it’s the same ring that I gave to her.'” Blake was devastated that the ring-a-ling would try and pawn the band off on her like a shifty diamond merchant. She found the ordeal particularly galling as the scoundrel didn’t even “pick it out” for her, but instead went with his ex to the jewelry store and had the ring “custom-made” for his then-paramour. “I love it, it’s beautiful, but it’s not my ring,” declared the crestfallen gal while reflecting on the sordid saga. To add insult to injury, her hubby refused to get Blake the 10-karat ring she wanted because he felt it was “too expensive,” per the clip. https://nypost.com/2024/05/21/lifestyle/my-husband-proposed-with-exs-ring-he-designed-it-with-her/

Medical workers in Israel have told the BBC that Palestinian detainees from Gaza are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies – a practice one medic said amounted to “torture”. A whistle-blower detailed how procedures in one military hospital were “routinely” carried out without painkillers, causing “an unacceptable amount of pain” to detainees. Another whistle-blower said painkillers were used “selectively” and “in a very limited way” during an invasive medical procedure on a Gazan detainee in a public hospital. He also said critically ill patients being held in makeshift military facilities were being denied proper treatment because of a reluctance by public hospitals to transfer and treat them. One detainee, taken from Gaza for questioning by the Israeli army and later released, told the BBC his leg had to be amputated because he was denied treatment for an infected wound. A senior doctor working inside the military hospital at the centre of the allegations denied that any amputations were the direct result of conditions there, but described the shackles and other restraints used by guards as “dehumanisation”. The Israeli army said detainees at the facility were treated “appropriately and carefully”. The two whistle-blowers the BBC spoke to were both in positions to assess the medical treatment of detainees. Both asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the issue among their colleagues. Their accounts are supported by a report, published in February by Physicians for Human Rights in Israel, which said that Israel’s civilian and military prisons had become “an apparatus of retribution and revenge” and that detainees’ human rights were being violated - in particular their right to health. Concerns over the treatment of sick and injured detainees have centred on a military field hospital, at the Sde Teiman military base in southern Israel. The field hospital was set up by Israel’s Health Ministry after the Hamas attacks specifically to treat Gazan detainees, after some public hospitals and staff expressed a reluctance to treat fighters captured on the day of the Hamas attacks. Since then, Israeli forces have rounded up large numbers of people from Gaza and taken them to bases like Sde Teiman for interrogation. Those suspected of fighting for Hamas are sent to Israeli detention centres; many others are released back to Gaza without charge. The army does not publish details of the detainees it is holding. Handcuffed and blindfolded Patients at the Sde Teiman hospital are kept blindfolded and permanently shackled to their beds by all four limbs, according to several medics responsible for treating patients there. They are also made to wear nappies, rather than use a toilet. Israel’s army said in response that handcuffing of detainees in the Sde Teiman hospital was “examined individually and daily, and carried out in cases where the security risk requires it”. It said that nappies [diapers] were used “only for detainees who have undergone medical procedures for which their movement is limited”. But witnesses, including the facility’s senior anaesthiologist, Yoel Donchin, say both the use of nappies and handcuffs are universal in the hospital ward. “The army create the patient to be 100% dependent, like a baby,” he said. “You are cuffed, you are with diapers, you need water, you need everything – it’s dehumanisation”. Dr Donchin said there was no individual assessment of the need for restraints, and that even those patients who were unable to walk – for example, those with leg amputations – were handcuffed to the bed. He described the practice as “stupid”. Two witnesses at the facility in the early weeks of the Gaza war told us that patients there were kept naked under the blankets. One doctor with knowledge of conditions there said prolonged cuffing to beds would cause “huge suffering, horrible suffering”, describing it as “torture” and saying patients would start to feel pain after a few hours. Others have spoken of the risk of long-term nerve-damage. Footage of Gazan detainees released after interrogation shows injuries and scarring around their wrists and legs. Last month, Israel’s daily Haaretz newspaper published allegations made by a doctor at the Sde Teiman site that leg amputations had been carried out on two prisoners, because of cuffing injuries. The allegations were made, the paper said, in a private letter sent by the doctor to government ministers and the attorney-general, in which such amputations were described as “unfortunately a routine event”. The BBC has not been able to independently verify this allegation. Dr Donchin said that amputations were not the direct result of cuffing and had involved other factors – such as infection, diabetes or problems with blood vessels. Israeli medical guidelines sti[CENSORED]te that no patient should be restrained unless there is a specific security reason for doing so, and that the minimum level of restraint should be used. The head of the country’s Medical Ethics Board, Yossi Walfisch, after a visit to the site, said all patients had a right to be treated without being handcuffed, but that the safety of staff prevailed over other ethical considerations. “Terrorists are given proper medical treatment,” he said in a published letter, “with the aim of keeping restraints to a minimum and while maintaining the safety of the treating staff.” Many Gazans detained by Israel’s army are released without charge after interrogation. Dr Donchin said complaints from medical staff at the Sde Teiman military hospital had led to changes, including a shift to looser handcuffs. He said he insisted on guards removing restraints before any surgical procedure. “It’s not pleasant to work there,” he said. “I know it’s against the ethical code to treat someone cuffed in the bed. But what’s the alternative? Is it better to let them die? I don’t think so.” But reports suggest the attitudes of medical staff towards detainees vary widely, in both military and civilian hospitals. 'Unacceptable levels of pain' A whistle-blower who worked at the Sde Teiman field hospital back in October, shortly after the Hamas attacks on Israel, described cases of patients being given inadequate amounts of painkillers, including anaesthetic. He said a doctor once refused his request that an elderly patient be given painkillers while they were opening up a recent, infected amputation wound. “[The patient] started trembling from pain, and so I stop and say ‘we can’t go on, you need to give him analgesia’,” he said. The doctor told him it was too late to administer it. The witness said such procedures were “routinely done without analgesia” resulting in “an unacceptable amount of pain”. On another occasion, he was asked by a suspected Hamas fighter to intercede with the surgical team to increase the levels of morphine and anaesthetic during repeated surgeries. The message was passed on, but the suspect again regained consciousness during the next operation and was in a lot of pain. The witness said both he and other colleagues felt there was a sense in which it had been a deliberate act of revenge. The army said in response to these allegations that violence against detainees was “absolutely prohibited”, and that it regularly briefed its forces on the conduct required of them. Any concrete details of violence or humiliation would be examined, it said. A second whistle-blower said the situation at Sde Teiman was only part of the problem, which extended into public hospitals. The BBC is calling him “Yoni” to protect his identity. In the days that followed the 7 October attacks, he said, hospitals in southern Israel were faced with the challenge of treating both wounded fighters and wounded victims, often in the same emergency departments. Hamas gunmen had just attacked Israeli communities along the border fence with Gaza, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping some 250 others. “The atmosphere was extremely emotional,” Yoni said. “Hospitals were completely overwhelmed, both psychologically and in terms of capacity.” “There were instances where I heard staff discuss whether detainees from Gaza should get painkillers. Or ways to perform certain procedures that can turn the treatment into punishment.” Conversations like this were not uncommon, he said, even if actual instances appeared very rare. “I have knowledge of one case where painkillers were used selectively, in a very limited way, during a procedure,” he told the BBC. “The patient did not receive any explanation of what was going on. So, if you put together [that] someone is undergoing an invasive procedure, which involves even incisions, and doesn’t know about that, and is blindfolded, then the line between treatment and assault thins out.” We asked the Health Ministry to respond to these allegations, but they directed us to the IDF. Yoni also said that the Sde Teiman field hospital was not equipped to treat severely injured patients, but that some of those held there in the early months of the war had fresh gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. He said at least one critically ill man was kept there because of a reluctance by public hospitals to accept his transfer for treatment, adding that doctors at the base were “frustrated” by the situation. Sufian Abu Salah, a 43-year-old taxi driver from Khan Youis, was one of dozens of men detained during raids by Israel's army and taken to a military base for questioning. He said soldiers carried out severe beatings during the journey and also on arrival at the base, where he was denied treatment for a minor wound on his foot, which then became infected. “My leg got infected and turned blue, and as soft as a sponge,” he told the BBC. After a week, he said, the guards took him to hospital, beating him on his injured leg on the way. Two operations to clean his wound did not work, he told the BBC. “Afterwards, they took me to a public hospital, where the doctor gave me two options: my leg or my life.” He chose his life. After they amputated his leg, he was sent back to the military base, and later released back to Gaza. "This period was mental and physical torture,” he said. “I can’t describe it. I was detained with two legs and now I have only one. Every now and then, I cry.” The IDF did not respond to the specific allegations about Sufian’s treatment, but said the claims of violence towards him during his arrest or detention “were unknown and will be examined”. In the days after the 7 October attack, Israel’s Health Ministry issued a directive that all Gazan detainees should be treated in military or prison hospitals, with the Sde Teiman field hospital created specifically to fill this role. The decision won the backing of many in Israel’s medical establishment, with Yossi Walfisch, praising it as the solution to “an ethical dilemma”, which would remove responsibility for treating “Hamas terrorists” from the public health system. Others have called for the closure of Sde Teiman, describing the situation there as “an unprecedented low point for the medical profession, and medical ethics.” “My fear is that what we’re doing in Sde Teiman won’t allow a return to the way it was before,” one doctor told the BBC. “Because things that looked unreasonable to us before, will look reasonable when this crisis is over.” Yoel Donchin, the anaesthesiologist, said medical staff at the field hospital sometimes gathered together to cry over the situation there. “The moment our hospital closes,” he said, “we’ll celebrate.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crgygdr7vezo

LG and Meta's VR partnership was only announced in February, but recent reports have suggested that their planned "extended reality (XR) ventures" could already be in danger – and now a statement from LG has thrown the collaboration into further doubt. Yesterday a number of Korean outlets reported that the LG and Meta headset has either been delayed from its 2025 release until 2027 (as suggested by Seoul Economic Daily, translated from Korean) or that the partnership might already have ended altogether (as reported by Korea Economy Daily). To get to the bottom of this rumored breakup we reached out to both Meta and LG. An LG spokesperson denied that LG and Meta were no longer partnering on various projects, stating that “LG Electronics continues its collaboration with Meta in various areas such as AI and the metaverse". Notably absent from that statement is any mention VR or XR. And the LG spokesperson went on to add vaguely that “we will maintain a close watch on customer needs, the content service ecosystem, and market conditions, adjusting the pace of our XR business accordingly". Reading this statement, we’re a lot less certain that an LG OLED Meta Quest is in the works or will land anytime soon. Meta has yet to respond to our request for comment, but it doesn't appear to be in a rush to dismiss the rumors either – we'll update this story if and when we hear back. This is all a bit of a shame, because LG and Meta’s VR partnership had us exceptionally excited for the future of Meta’s VR hardware – especially after seeing LG’s new OLEDoS displays for VR headsets. Unfortunately, those rumors that their relationship status has now at best switched to "it's complicated" appear to have some substance. The two companies reportedly don’t see eye to eye in several areas, with LG apparently now looking to partner with other US companies such as Amazon. Analysts have speculated that this could be an effort to leverage Prime’s over 200 million subscribers. https://www.techradar.com/computing/virtual-reality-augmented-reality/lg-refuses-to-dismiss-rumors-that-its-meta-quest-vr-headset-collab-is-off

Samsung Electronics has named Young Hyun Jun its new Head of Device Solutions Division. The Device Solutions Division is part of Samsung's semiconductor business, which Jun has been chosen to lead after 24 years with the company. Jun will officially be named President and CEO of Samsung upon approval from the board of directors and shareholders. Samsung has a dual-CEO system, with one CEO over the semiconductor business and the other over device experience (phones, displays, etc.). Jun's primary objective according to Samsung is to "strengthen its competitiveness amid an uncertain global business environment." Jun takes this role over from President Kyehyun Kyung, who now replaces Jun in his previous role over the Future Business Division, a division established in 2023 to study new visions for Samsung's growth in the future. Kyung is "expected to focus on finding new growth opportunities based on his experience leading the semiconductor business," per Samsung's press release. President Jun has also been the head of Samsung's memory business and battery business from 2014-2017 and 2017-2023, respectively. This long experience across Samsung's different operations, especially in memory, is likely of critical importance to Samsung executives worried about losing ground to SK hynix, their greatest competition in the memory space. With TrendForce's March survey finding that SK hynix is within 8% of Samsung's enterprise SSD market share and other sources showing SK hynix is dominating the HBM supply market, Samsung is at risk of falling out of their number one spot in the memory market. However, Samsung could soon have a major leg up on SK hynix in DRAM with its advancements in VCT DRAM coming in 2025, but that may not be soon enough for Samsung's investors. Thankfully the future is still exciting for Samsung. The U.S. government has announced that $6.4 billion in CHIPS Act funding is coming Samsung's way to build semiconductor fabs in Texas, a major victory that Jun now inherits early in his position as CEO. In the laptop market, Samsung also stands in an exciting spot with its new Galaxy Book4 Edge due to arrive as part of Microsoft's Copilot+ PC first wave, and on paper, it has the best display of the pack. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/samsung-names-new-ceo-as-company-loses-market-share-to-sk-hynix-hopes-to-retake-ground-as-ai-demand-for-memory-increases

At first Animal Well presents itself as a quiet, ruminative metroidvania. A simple time-worn videogame blob wanders a psychedelic subterranean labyrinth towards some obscure purpose, solving puzzles with a growing collection of tools. My cherished blob is neither armed nor dangerous, because while animals po[CENSORED]te this murky realm—cats, dogs, crows, kangaroos, worms, stingrays—few are hungry for blobs. Most are content just to sit and watch, often in proximity to the many bizarre statues built in their honour. Built by who or by what? I've got no idea. I'm so far down the food chain most creatures don't even consider me food. But in the rare cases animals do take issue with my presence the noise is terrifying. Shrieks pierce through the reverberant gloom with an exaggeration matched only by the oversized animals themselves, whose limbs don't perambulate so much as they ooze across the screen. The whole world seems to wobble when shit hits the fan; loud drones breach the quiet. These encounters aren't usually difficult per se, but they are unutterably stressful, cutting through the tomblike tranquillity with abrupt violence. There are never two animal species on screen at once, because all have staked their territory. Animal Well is one of the most atmospheric metroidvanias I've played, and there's a lot of strong competition. The subtle ambient synth score lends a tense ambiguity to its crypt-like passages, and the sound design cloaks everything in an uneasy subaquatic quiet. The air is full of distant sounds of mysterious provenance. Is that a meowing kitten? Is that a shrieking human child? The art style is a gentle mix of muted neon pixels with cavernous blacks, scanlined to dreamy effect. Rare is the room without some unique hieroglyph or statue. This is a game world dabbed by an ultra-meticulous hand. When a room appears featureless, my suspicions are put on high alert. There is no dialogue and direction is minimal. I spent about five hours roaming this world before I got a sense of what I was meant to do but I always felt like I was getting somewhere. First I found a bubble wand, which makes it easier for my blob to reach higher platforms. Then I found a frisbee for flicking out-of-reach switches and distracting curious dogs, though I later discovered that with careful timing I can ride this frisbee over dangerous chasms too. There's also a slinky, a yoyo and—most mysteriously—a panpipe, which can play eight notes, though I only ever needed to honk it carelessly as a means of distraction or attraction. All these and more can be used for either traversal, puzzle solving or both, in ways ranging from obvious through to surprising. Best of all, I often wondered whether I was accidentally sequence-breaking this game. Creature feature For a long time Animal Well feels more forgiving compared to most of its indie contemporaries. There's no conventional combat, meaning no repeated laborious attempts at bosses. When it comes to rare prickly encounters with oversize wildlife it's usually wise to run, or else figure out what's angering them and put a stop to that. The map sprawls in typical metroidvania fashion but once the objective sank in—itself of extremely vague purpose—I didn't get as lost as I did in Hollow Knight (but more on this later). The puzzles can be taxing, but they always clicked just on the threshold of tedium. Sometimes they involve setting Rube Goldberg-style systems into motion, or coaxing friendly animals into doing my bidding, or discovering new ways to use the items at my disposal. Sometimes the puzzles are single-screen problems, while at other times they span whole regions. There's also some tricky platforming, which is at its best when requiring quick and smart use of blobbo's tools with pixel precision. If I'm really clever, I can find hidden eggs spread throughout the map, all with unique names (I found one called Egg as a Service). After about fifteen unrushed hours I watched the credits roll, surprised by how breezy—almost easy—Animal Well was. If that had been the end, it would have been a memorable metroidvania for the pile. But it is not the end. The credits rolling in Animal Well just marks the end of one game and the beginning of another. After moseying about the world for a few more hours post-credits, I was ready to close the game and start this review, until I found a certain-shaped object that could fit in a certain-shaped hole, which led me into a new region hiding a new tool that, no exaggeration, changed everything. In Elden Ring-style sleight of hand, the UI had suggested to me that there were no further tools to be discovered. But suddenly the map, which had grown stale for me, became riddled with new opportunities. Every previous deadend needed to be revisited. Animal Well morphed from a fun-verging-brilliant indie metroidvania into something that now keeps me awake at night. I'm not ready to move on, and I won't, but I'm going to need a hivemind's help to unpick its deepest secrets. And that's not to mention all the clear evidence of conundrums I haven't really begun to scratch the surface of. What's with those monkeys throwing peanuts at me in that one particular room? Why is there a giant clock at the foot of the well? What's with the chrome-hued rotating donut? What are those directional hints that appear in certain hard-to-reach areas? My panpipe can play eight notes: which among this well's inhabitants wants to hear a particular melody? (And are those directional hints melodies? If so, who wants to hear them?) I've found a giraffe statue, so where's the giraffe? Nestled within a stylish and moody metroidvania is an even bigger metroidvania, kinda like a reverse matryoshka doll. For genre enthusiasts, this might make more sense: it starts as critical path Fez, and then morphs into La-Mulana. Still, it was when the game "ended" and I needed to take a more exacting approach to exploration when Animal Well's only glaring imperfection came to the fore. The map is woeful, especially if you sit more than a metre away from your screen (I recommend turning scanlines off when viewing the map, because it's easy to mistake the lines for unexplored gaps in walls). Some areas are connected via chutes—basically a fast travel system—but these chutes are marked on the map with a single white pixel. This didn't matter so much during the main game, when movement around the world can be achieved by gut instinct, but when the aim shifts to discovering the hidden nooks and crannies left behind, the map proves frustrating. There are a range of stamps that can be applied to the map as reminders, but these have the opposite problem of being too large. A metroidvania with an easily parseable map is a true rarity, yes, but few metroidvania maps are as intestinal as this one. Still, you should accept the existence of a free-range drawing pen for the map as evidence that you'll probably need it. Animal Well is a puzzle game designed to keep players busy for up to a decade. “Finishing" it may suffice for the majority of players, but it'll likely remain an ongoing mystery for its (at this point theoretical) online community, just like Fez did over a decade ago. I can't see why it won't attract a healthy community of sleuths and spectators considering the intrigue of its pre-release ARGs, the fact that the publisher Bigmode is a videogamedunkey concern, and not insignificantly, that the game feels brilliant and more-ish in the hands. It's rare for a game that hints towards fathomless depths to so continually reward curious prodding—especially when that game is under 50 megabytes!—but Animal Well, like Fez, Spelunky and Hollow Knight before it, feels like it could be a concern for years to come. Whether its deepest mysteries pay off or not is a matter for the future, but right now, this is the most engrossing exploration platformer I've played in years. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/puzzle/animal-well-review/
