Liverpool's hopes of remaining unbeaten for an entire Premier League season were ended in sensational style by a rampant Watford at Vicarage Road. Ismaila Sarr scored twice while captain Troy Deeney added a third in a sparkling second-half display from the hosts as Liverpool's run of victories was brought to a shuddering halt. The Reds had won their past 18 Premier League games and another at Vicarage Road would have made history as the longest winning run in the English top flight. But they never got going against a Watford side who were superb from start to finish and who move out of the relegation zone as a result. The Hornets had more chances in the first half and only a superb save from Alisson, to deny Troy Deeney, prevented them from leading at the break. However, Watford deservedly went in front when Abdoulaye Doucoure squeezed a cross in from the left and the impressive Sarr was there to stab in. Liverpool had fallen behind against West Ham last week but still managed to grind out a win. However, there was a feeling that this time was different, with the Reds sloppy in possession and lacking bite in attack. It was no surprise that Watford doubled their advantage. Sarr was put through on goal by Will Hughes and the winger calmly lifted the ball over Alisson and into the net. Captain Deeney then completed a famous victory, curling into the back of the net from the edge of the area. This is not a result that is going to halt Liverpool's title charge with the Reds 22 points clear at the top but it was nevertheless an unexpected and memorable result for Watford. Many had arrived at Vicarage Road expecting to see Liverpool make history by winning in the league for the 19th game in a row. Indeed, such was the level of expectation that press accreditation for the game had been oversubscribed, with hundreds of media outlets keen to cover a moment in English football history. But Watford were clearly not reading from the same script. A superb run of four wins in five games at the start of Nigel Pearson's reign had lifted them up from the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone but five games without victory prior to the visit of Liverpool had dropped them back into trouble. Despite the recent poor run of results, performances had still been good and they were boosted for this game by the return from injury of Sarr. The winger has been a real creative spark for the Hornets this season, and he was a menace from the outset, taking advantage of the surprising amount of space he was afforded on the wing to deliver a number of dangerous crosses. His pace and trickery unsettled the Reds, who were unable to handle him and both his goals were taken with an assured calmness. If he can remain fit for the remaining 10 games of the season then Watford have a real chance of retaining their Premier League status. There is no getting away from the fact that Liverpool have been simply sensational this season and the only surprise is that they have been able to maintain a consistent level of brilliance for so long. Recent performances have not been quite at the level they have been capable of, losing to a resilient Atletico Madrid in the Champions League before scraping past West Ham last week. The Hammers showed that if teams attack the Reds defense then they stand a better chance of upsetting them and that was the case on Saturday as they struggled to deal with the Hornets' high press. A couple of wayward clearances from Alisson early on, when the Liverpool goalkeeper was under pressure, provided a hint of what was to come. The defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren also looked vulnerable, certainly in comparison to the seemingly impenetrable Van Dijk-Joe Gomez partnership, with Gomez out because of a fitness issue. It was an off day for the Reds and one that may provide them with renewed spirit to finish off in style what is sure to be a title-winning campaign but we should take nothing away from what was an excellent display by Watford. Man of the match - Ismaila Sarr (Watford) : 'It's not hard is it, football?' - what they said Watford boss Nigel Pearson: "It's such an important win for us. But it is one win. Our season has been tough so far, with losing last week and not playing well, we were keen to get a response. "They are such an outstanding side, we had to get our performance right - as close to max as possible - and I thought we thoroughly deserved the win. We threatened with the ball and defended with discipline, energy and commitment. That's been the message from day one. "It's in our own hands, and we have to deliver that performance week in, week out." Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "They did exactly what they wanted to do, we did not. That's how football works. "You have to accept it, it's not so easy, but it's the proof we were not good enough. It's always very difficult. "If you win good, if you lose, try to do it in the right manner and do it like a man." Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk: "Credit to Watford, they played well, a lot of fight, very disciplined and scored three goals - that's the reality, we couldn't find a way through. It was difficult and we have to do better. "The record and the talk of the records is all media, we just try to win every game. "We will focus on the next game, the cup game, and we try to win there. We have to stay humble and work harder next game." Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster, speaking to Sky Sports: "Just do that every week. It's easy if you do it like that - we had a game plan and stuck to it really well. "Ismaila Sarr is a crazy good talent, he's so calm in front of goal and has electric pace. Buzzing. "It's not hard is it, football? We stuck to our task and took our chances when they came." Firing blanks - the stats Watford are the first side to beat Liverpool in the Premier League since Manchester City in January 2019, ending the joint-longest winning streak (18) and the second longest unbeaten run (44) in English top-flight history. Liverpool's 0-3 loss was the biggest margin of defeat for a side starting the day top of the Premier League since November 2015 (Man City 1-4 Liverpool). Watford's victory over Liverpool was the biggest over a side starting the day top of the top-flight table by a team in the relegation zone since Leicester beat Manchester United 3-0 on November 23rd 1985. Watford secured their first top-flight victory against a side starting the day top of the table since the final day of the 1982-83 season, also beating Liverpool that day (2-1). Liverpool failed to score in a Premier League game for the first time since March 2019 (0-0 v Everton), ending a run of scoring in 36 consecutive league games. Liverpool have conceded 2+ goals in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December 2016 conceding as many goals in their last two league games (5) as they had in their previous 14. Liverpool had just one shot on target in a Premier League game for the first time since February 2019 in a goalless draw against Manchester United (1). What next? Liverpool travel to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday (19:45 GMT) and then host Bournemouth in the league on Saturday, 7 March (12:30 GMT). Watford travel to Crystal Palace on the same day at 15:00 GMT.

Roman Catholic churches remained closed across South Korea on Sunday, as officials struggle with a coronavirus outbreak that has led to the cancellation of many public gatherings. The Catholic Church has an estimated 5,8m members in the country. Major Protestant groups have also halted Sunday services. All Buddhist events have been called off. South Korea is battling the worst coronavirus outbreak outside China, with 3,736 cases and 18 deaths so far. Religion is at the center of South Korea's outbreak. Authorities say members of the fringe Christian group Shincheonji Church infected one another in the southern city of Daegu last month, before fanning out around the country. More than 85,403 cases of the new coronavirus have been confirmed in over 50 countries, according to the World Health Organization. The global death toll is more than 2,900. The vast majority of infections and deaths are in China. On Sunday, Australia and Thailand also recorded their first fatalities from coronavirus. A 78-year-old Australian man died after being infected on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan last month. Thailand, which has had 42 cases of the virus, said a 35-year-old man who died was also suffering from dengue fever. What's happening in South Korea? The Catholic Church - one of the main religious communities in the country - has suspended Masses in all its 1,734 parishes until 7 March. The Church had never taken such a step in 236 years of presence in South Korea. The country Buddhist organizations cancelled events earlier this week. Major protestant churches are holding Sunday services online. In the capital Seoul, worshippers were turned away from the Yoido Full Gospel Church, which posted a sermon for its 560,000 followers on YouTube, Reuters news agency reported. "I had heard there would be no service, but just came to check," Song Young-koo told Reuters. "It's a wise decision to do it online, since the virus would easily spread at mass gatherings and churches can be no exception." On Sunday officials said nearly 9,000 followers of the Daegu-based Shincheonji Church were showing signs of the coronavirus and are being tested. The South Korean government has restricted public events in an effort to stop the virus from spreading. The K-pop group BTS has canceled a forthcoming concert series in Seoul. A visual guide to the outbreak How worried should we be? What about the rest of the world? The US on Saturday reported the first death in the country, in the state of Washington. Officials said the patient was a man in his 50s with underlying health conditions France has banned large indoors gatherings. Many open-air events have also been cancelled, including Paris's half-marathon and a fireworks display in the southern city of Nice - both were due on Sunday In Japan only a few hundred elite athletes competed in the Tokyo marathon. About 38,000 runners had been expected to take part, before the event was closed to general competitors Iran reported 385 new coronavirus cases on Sunday, bringing the total to 978 so far. The death toll rose to 54 Italy - the worst-hit country Europe - says it will introduce measures worth 3.6bn euros (£ 3.10bn) to deal with the economic impact of the outbreak

Hey i'm russ i'm from algeria and i support palestine ❤️

Hyundai has updated the Europe-market i30 lineup with new styling. The i30 is offered in hatchback, fastback, and wagon body styles, and all are now available in sporty N-Line trim. The Elantra GT hatchback we get in the U.S. is identical to the i30 hatchback, so we're likely to get this facelift for the 2021 model year. We should probably be grateful that Hyundai sells the Elantra GT hatchback in the U.S. With an available turbocharged engine and manual transmission. But we can't help but look across the pond at the Elantra GT's European counterpart, the i30, with some degree of envy, as the Europeans get even more variety in the form of the appealing wagon and fastback variants. With the sporty N-Line treatment, or the i30 fastback, which has a quirky shape that we're weirdly into. Although we're giving up on seeing the wagon or fastback here, we do hope that several of the i30's new features will make their way into an updated Elantra GT for America. The new larger touchscreen would be a nice addition, as would the brown interior upholstery option and the cool-looking LED accents in the headlights.

NZXT has introduced the H1 Mini-ITX PC case, and this case includes an SFX-L 650-watt 80+ Gold PSU, a 140 mm AIO cooler, and a PCIe riser card pre-installed, which makes this PC case perfect for a new PC builder looking for an easier build experience, while not compromising on the form factor. In addition to releasing this new PC case, NZXT also features this case in their new high-end pre-build option for the NXZT BLD called the H1 Mini-PC. NZXT's new Mini-ITX PC case, the H1 PC case, is featured in the NZXT BLD H1 Mini PC Pre-Build The NZXT H1 Mini-ITX PC case has some incredible features like the compact vertical design, which allows this case to have a small spatial footprint while still offering support for most full-sized graphics cards currently on the market. Another fantastic feature of this case is a simple building experience, and the case achieves this by having an SFX-L 650-watt 80+ Gold PSU, a 140 mm AIO cooler installed, and a PCIe riser card pre-installed as well as having a toolless SSD tray. "Creating a small form factor case is something we have always wanted to improve upon because they are often challenging to build in and can hinder the performance of high-end hardware," says Johnny Hou, Founder, and CEO of NZXT. "That is why we simplified the building process and focused on performance when designing the NZXT H1. We set out to make this one of the easiest builds you can undertake while leaving no compromises when gaming." To further facilitate this easy building experience, NZXT has pre-routed all the cables through the bottom of the case for both a clean and simplified appearance. This case offers fantastic airflow, and this is achieved by having this case designed with thermals in mind, this case is designed to allow the CPU, graphics card, and PSU to pull in fresh air and exhaust hot air without affecting the temperatures of the surrounding components. Pricing and Availability : NZXT's H1 PC case is available in either matte white or matte black, this Mini-ITX PC case is currently priced at $ 349.99, while the pre-build PC starts at $ 1,999 and comes in the same colors and has an option to add some external storage . The H1 Mini PC includes a Core i9-9900K, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, an ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I motherboard, 16 GB of DDR4 memory (3200 MHz), an Intel 660p 1 TB SSD and Windows 10 Home OS .

Woah, a major leak of NVIDIA's upcoming next-generation graphics cards (most probably called Ampere) has just sprung from Geekbench (via _RoGame @ Twitter). Not one but two seperate GPUs have been benchmarked showcasing what are quite possibly two graphics cards in NVIDIA's upcoming lineup. Keep in mind however that these aren't necessarily Ampere (or Hopper), they could be called something else (it's really up to NVIDIA) and the company is known to change nomenclature at the last hour. NVIDIA next-generation graphics cards benchmarked at Geekbench 5: most probably Ampere 7nm GPUs The first GPU is one with 7552 CUDA cores and 118 SMs. Interestingly, the performance and the Geekbench read would mean that the rumored 128 cores per SM theory is wrong and the GPUs do have the standard 64 cores per SM. This particular GPU was clocked at 1.11 GHz which would make this a 16.7 TFLOPs part at current speeds. Of course, if these leaks are legit (and I have a feeling they are) then this isn't the top tier part - which would have 8192 CUDA cores. This GPU has 24GB of memory (although we aren't sure if Geekbench is detecting this properly). This particular NVIDIA GPU scores an astounding 184096 points on Geekbench - almost 40% more than the TITAN RTX. Keep in mind these are almost certainly not the final clocks of the graphics card - which would mean overclocking potential is waiting just around the corner. It is also likely that what we are looking at is the data center parts (as NVIDIA almost always launches those first) and not the gaming variants. The second GPU is one with 6912 CUDA cores and 108 SMs. This lower-powered variant is clocked at 1.01 GHz and clocks in at roughly 13.9 TFLOPs (about the same level as a RTX 2080 Ti). Interestingly this card is being shown as having 47GB of memory, which makes this likely that we are seeing a misread of some sort as far as the memory specifications go. The 6912 CUDA core variant scores 141654 points on Geekbench - slightly higher than an RTX TITAN. The specifications shown in the Geekbench details do check out so the chances of this being spoofed are quite low. Considering NVIDIA has been planning to launch a new series of cards for quite some time now, this leak is going to be met with some serious excitement. The clocks almost certainly indicate that we are looking at the 7nm node - any older mature node would yield much higher clock speeds. What we know so far We have previously heard of NVIDIA's Ampere GPUs when they passed their EEC certification and it is highly likely that NVIDIA will continue with their RTX philosophy and take that to the next level with Ampere. Right now, the Turing GPU is capable of raytracing at 1080p 30 fps for light to medium path ray tracing workloads. The Ampere GPU will be able to go further. The fact that it is based on a 7nm process means we are looking at a performance advantage as well as a power efficiency advantage. At a bare minimum you are looking at a 50% increase all things considered and watt for watt. The GPU industry has, as a result of NVIDIA's apathy, been fairly slow not only in terms of the usual perf per $ growth, but as a function of the absolute performance growth as well. With NVIDIA's competitive incentive broken (we have AMD to thank for that, unfortunately), the company also ran afoul in its usually stellar earnings records. In fact, while NVIDIA remains on the 16nm process, AMD became the process leader by moving on to TSMC's 7nm process. Here is what the analyst had to say: On Tuesday, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Christopher Rolland reiterated his Positive rating for Nvidia shares, citing the strong sales for the Nintendo videogame console. Nvidia makes chips for the gaming device. “We think Nvidia faces the most reasonable Street expectations in quite some time, with potential tailwinds from improving DC [data center], Switch [Nintendo console], and high GPU [graphics processing unit] attach rates (laptops / desktops), all in front of a litany of upcoming 7nm [nanometer] launches over the next nine months, ”he wrote. Source. NVIDIA it seems has finally decided to play catch up and will be shifting to its own 7nm by 2020. According to what we have heard so far, this will be Samsung's 7nm EUV process and should offer a significant step up in performance from previous generations ( even TSMC's non-EUV based 7nm process). 9 months amounts to roughly 3 quarters, and with a launch in 2020, you will first start to feel the impact in the third-quarter earnings (exactly a year from now). In other words, NVIDIA is slowly but surely working its way back up to getting Jensen his coveted record quarters.

When Lionel Messi leads Barcelona on to the pitch at the Bernabeu on Sunday for his 42nd Clasico against Real Madrid, the world will see an older, wiser version of the player many consider to be the greatest of all time. Much has changed for the mercurial Argentine since he made his Clasico debut as an 18-year-old, but the one thing that has not is his unerring ability to score the most important goals in the biggest games against the very best opposition at a rate not seen before. In March 2007, in his first home encounter against Real Madrid on a Saturday night at the Nou Camp, his last-gasp equaliser earned Barcelona a draw against the old enemy. It also completed his first Clasico hat-trick and was one of the first times we would witness the footballing phenomenon that is Messi making the difference. Nearly 13 years and 26 Clasico goals later, Messi is still making a difference but questions about his future remain. How was he back then? Over the years I have met Messi on many occasions and I had the privilege of writing his only authorized biography. I have watched him flourish and mature as a player and a person both on and off the field. I met him most recently only last week when he was contributing to a film that is being made on that other footballing miracle maker, Ronaldinho. Back in the day when the Brazilian was king of the Nou Camp, the story has it that he asked the then coach, Frank Rijkaard, to make sure Messi was brought into first-team training. Messi and Ronaldinho won two La Liga titles, two Spanish Cup trophies and one Champions League during their time together at Barcelona Ronaldinho, who was himself almost certainly the world's best player at the time, had no doubts after the first session with Messi, saying: "He is going to be the greatest player in the world." During his final season with Barcelona and at a time when everyone knew his time was up at the club, Ronaldinho approached Messi and said to him that he wanted him to inherit his number 10 shirt. When he finally left Barcelona he would say on more than one occasion that one of his greatest regrets in football had been not being able to play more games with Messi. The feeling is mutual. How is Messi today? The Messi we see today is a far different person to the impressionable youngster we marveled during during his emergence. Now married to Antonella - the love of his life, his soulmate, one of his oldest friends and his anchor away from the uber-pressured world he inhabits - he is the doting father of three sons, two of whom (thiago and mateo) are old enough to have begun to take an active interest in football. They train with the Barcelona youngsters under the supervision in the stands of Messi, sitting next to Luis Suarez, who comes to watch his kids too, and they follow their father's career with interest. But there are similarities. Now, just as in the early days, he needs to be surrounded by those people he trusts and likes. Back in the day it was friends like Ronaldinho and Portuguese midfielder Deco who made him feel protected. These days he feels the same level of protection with his great friend Suarez, while Antonella and his growing family have given him a confidence and continuity to his life, along with the perspective to realise that as important as football is, and always has been, There is a life apart from the game involving them that is equally important. It is a routine which features training in the morning, then coming home to eat with his wife before picking the children up from school, where he will invariably get involved in matters pertaining to their life and education. In fact, his is very much a 'run of the mill-ionaire' existence in the seaside suburbia that is the resort of Castelldefels just outside Barcelona; a routine he needs both professionally and personally. And with this newfound maturity and greater responsibility has come the confidence to speak out more and be more assertive - on and off the pitch. How is he now from a playing point of view? At any top club, and even more more so at somewhere like Barcelona, the manager is ideally both leader and director. As a director you are guaranteed to get into the players' heads. As a leader you find a way into their hearts. The fact is that at Barcelona now, the leader is Messi and the coach's job at the club is to direct proceedings so they can get the best out of him. There is a perception that Messi is merely a guy who does marvelous things with the ball. It does him a disservice. On the rare occasions when he has been on the bench he will make comments that coaches will listen to, even if they studiously pretend not to. He sees things on the same level as a coach. On one glorious and exceedingly rare occasion when he was going to come on from the bench against Sevilla, former manager Ernesto Valverde put his arm around him as if to give him instructions before effectively saying to him: "You know best, go out there and do what you like. " Making sure he gets the best out of Messi will be current manager Quique Setien's main job, just as it was Valverde's. Unfortunately he will face the same problems - namely trying to keep Messi on side with a team that has lost many of those elements that made it such a force in the past. Messi understands the team is not playing well and there is a transition into what setien wants to do at the club, which is different to what Valverde wanted. He is trying to recover their high-pressure game, where they work to recover lost possession within five or six seconds. To change that is not merely a change of tactics or mentality, but also a physical change which requires the level of fitness to be able to do it. Sometimes during games at the moment the level is not always at the required standard. As things stand Messi has said himself that Barcelona do not currently have enough to win the Champions League. That will surely only come about by strengthening the side and there is no doubt how Messi feels that can best be done. How influential is he in the dressing room? Messi's recent spat with director of football Eric Abidal, who implied it was the players' lack of effort that got previous manager Valverde the sack, is proof positive of the new, confident Messi. He was swift to go public and issued a statement to tell Abidal that everyone should take responsibility for their own jobs, be they players or administrators. By making a general assertion about the responsibility of players in the recent sacking of Valverde and by not naming names, he said Abidal was effectively tarring everyone with the same brush. Actually, the truth is Messi wanted Valverde to stay but did not get his way. "I don't know what went through his head when he said what he said but I responded because I felt attacked," said Messi who reacted as a hurt person but also as a captain. "I felt the players were being attacked. There are enough comments made about the changing room managing everything at the club, including that they hire coaches, players, and especially about me. It has been said that I have a lot of power and take decisions and it upset me when that had been suggested by someone from the club. "To actually blame the players as part of the reason to get rid of the manager is crazy. It is the sporting director who takes that decision and has to take responsibility for it."

"To actually blame the players as part of the reason to get rid of the manager is crazy. It is the sporting director who takes that decision and has to take responsibility for it." Will he stay at Barcelona for the rest of his career? Messi has always dreamed about finishing his career with Newell's Old Boys in Argentina where he first started. But with around 41% of the po[CENSORED]tion deemed to be living in poverty, a spiralling crime rate in his home town of Rosario and a league that has seen better days, the prospect seems less attractive. It is difficult to imagine him spending any long period there once he leaves Barcelona. Perhaps a year before the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Now 32, would that be the year when he retires? He will decide year by year. When asked if he will stay at Barcelona he always gives the same answer: "As long as both sides are happy, why not?" But the overriding consideration has always been that he should be playing in a team that is competitive and fighting for trophies and titles. To that end he has a clause in his contract which says he can go at the end of every season in the summer as long as he tells the club by the end of May. And what's more, he can leave for free, which should concentrate the Barcelona minds on ensuring he remains 'happy'. There have been times when he has thought about leaving. Manchester City at one point thought they had a chance of signing him, as did Real Madrid in the early days. Even Arsenal tried it, although the reality was always that Messi needs to be somewhere where he does not feel out of his comfort zone. Offers have arrived from everywhere, from China to the United States, where a consortium has considered the ambitious possibility of putting Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi together in the same team in a few years' time.

So how can they guarantee keeping him happy? Fundamentally Barcelona need to strengthen their side, and quickly, not just to keep Messi happy but also if they want to remain competitive on all fronts. And once again the name on everyone's lips is that of Neymar, who would love to return to Spain, although the fact he is currently fighting legal cases against his potential new employers is not going to help matters. Messi and most of the other Barca players wanted the Neymar deal to be done last summer and the general feeling among them is that, for whatever reason, the club did not do enough to facilitate the move. His idea was probably that Neymar could come back to Barcelona and take over as leader when he says his goodbyes perhaps two, three or four years down the line. Messi would love to have him back at the club and I'm sure a real effort will be made this summer to make it happen, not just because Messi would like him there but also because it is what is needed. Neymar and Messi get on very well together on and off the pitch and they are still in touch with each other on a regular basis, including keeping a WhatsApp group with Suarez. What the best players like Messi want is to be able to play with the world's other leading players and to compete at the highest level. Off-field politics is not their area of expertise and players will invariably try to distance themselves from it. On Sunday Messi will hope he can concentrate on what he does best - starring on the world stage in what many consider the biggest club game on the planet.

Police evacuated Paris's Gare de Lyon station after protesters started a fire to try to disrupt a concert by a Congolese singer. Political opponents of the DR Congo government set fire to parked scooters, motorcycles and bins and blocked firefighters from tackling the blaze. They accuse singer Fally Ipupa of being too close to the Congolese government. Police had earlier banned protests against the concert, citing a "tense political context". A large plume of smoke was visible above the station and smoke was also seen inside the Gare de Lyon metro and suburban rail stations. Victoria Williams from the UK was in the Gare de Lyon at the time. "There was big thick smoke. People were surging and setting fire to things," she said. "It just seemed to get very ugly, very quickly. Traffic was gridlocked in every direction, it was pandemonium. "The protesters were throwing anything they could at the police and fire brigade who were just trying to do their job. They were just setting fire to anything they could and fighting with each other." Police described efforts to prevent firefighters from reaching the scene as "scandalous behavior". Before the concert police had warned of significant calls on social media for protesters to "clash with concertgoers". One protester told Reuters they had been trying to block people from attending. They say Fally Ipupa is too close to President Felix Tshisekedi, who took power a year ago. Tackling DR Congo's six biggest problems in 12 months Congolese media said members of the Congolese diaspora had come from other European cities, including London, Brussels and Vienna, to try to disrupt the concert. Concert is historic for Congolese musicians By Gaius Kowene, BBC News, Kinshasa For years parts of the Congolese diaspora have condemned musicians they view as too close to the political elite they blame for destroying the country. As a punishment they have used direct action to effectively ban musicians from performing in Europe and thereby preventing them making money. For about 10 years, some members of the diaspora would try to beat up any musician - and anyone who was part of the regime - whenever they visited Europe. It happened to some senior officials in the past few years. Some musicians have had concerts targeted. Fally Ipupa is the first Congolese artist to perform in Europe since then. It is a historic moment for Congolese music. Many people are saying that his concert will pave the way for others to perform. It is a challenge to members of the diaspora and they do not like it. Fally Ipupa, who reportedly has a large following in France and has collaborated with several French rappers, was forced to cancel a concert in France in 2011, RTL reported. Police said 30 people had been arrested and 54 people had been fined for participating in a banned protest.

Even with winter tires on a damp road, the crossover is quicker than advertized. It may only be the “baby Cayenne,” but the Porsche Macan in Turbo guise does borrow the twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 from its bigger brother. That gives it an extra 10 percent power output over its predecessor even though the engine’s displacement has gone down by 20 percent compared to the old Macan Turbo. Now with a meaty 435 horsepower and 550 Newton-meters (354 pound-feet) of torque, the range-topping version of Porsche’s smaller crossover delivers top-notch performance as demonstrated in the adjacent video. Despite the winter tires and a slightly damp Autobahn, it still managed to complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in an amazing 4.25 seconds. That’s actually slightly quicker than the 4.3-second time advertised by Porsche for the version equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package like this vehicle had. It did the 0-124 mph (200 km/h) task in 16.61 seconds and went on to accelerate to 160 mph (258 km/h) or to a more accurate 155 mph (250 km/h) per the onboard GPS. Despite losing the combustion engine, the future Macan due sometime in 2021 is still set to receive a Turbo version (see all-electric Taycan). Riding on the VW Group’s new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, the zero-emissions Macan Turbo / Turbo S could have as much as 700 horsepower and a whopping 1,017 Nm (750 lb-ft) from dual electric motors granting an all-wheel-drive layout.
