IT industry market research outfit TrendForce has published its latest report on worldwide SSD shipments. The source headlines with the interesting observation that global SSD shipments were down 10.7% YoY in 2022. It also looks at the brands jostling to sell the most units in the global rankings and some of the reasons behind the shipment volume fall. The report claims that the various supply and demand issues that had plagued the SSD industry were largely resolved in 2022. In particular, TrendForce says that the problem with constrained SSD controller supplies was resolved last year. We must assume that supplies of the other major component, NAND flash, were also flowing without issue. Despite the seemingly free-flowing supplies of key SSD components, TrednForce is basing this percentage on its figure of 114 million SSDs being shipped during 2022. Of course, we don’t have full-year 2023 figures yet. o, what happened to cause the significant decline in SSD shipments last year? TrendForce doesn’t address that question directly but does mention that the global economy is still struggling in 2023. Indeed, 2022 saw the pandemic-inspired IT sales bubble burst (with a resulting drop in PC sales), and recessionary forces like inflation and layoffs were frequently in the news. The Russia-Ukraine war has also had impacts far beyond the region. A larger part of TrendForce’s analysis was of the competition between the top SSD makers, as evidenced by shifting market shares. It was noted that the top five SSD brands increased their combined market share from 53% to 59% from 2021 to 22. Meanwhile, Kingston is clearly dominant, closing on controlling nearly a third of the market on its own. TrendForce says Kingston has been putting roots down in the industrial control and OEM markets to both expand and strengthen its grip. Another interesting observation is that while worldwide shipments were down, Kingston and Adata managed to consolidate their market dominance. As for 2023, TrendForce paints a picture of the global economy continuing to struggle and the big players continuing to use their muscle to grow. We have previously reported on the aggressive production cuts by NAND suppliers in search of better prices. However, Chinese NAND and controller suppliers might be keen to address any gaps left by more established brands. Trying to create artificial scarcity to push market prices higher seldom pays off in a truly competitive market. TrendForce notes that there is already evidence of China’s Longsys becoming more international, with acquisitions in Brazil, for example. It still seems to be a good time for those wanting to add more SSD storage to their systems. However, there are warning signs that consumer SSD prices are leveling out, or even starting to increase. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/worldwide-ssd-shipments-fall-by-over-10-percent

A deal between Israel and the militant group Hamas to release some hostages could be reached in the coming days, though no terms have been finalized yet, according to several U.S. officials. “We think that we are closer than we have been, perhaps at any point since these negotiations began weeks ago,” U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Jonathan Finer said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Officials have been tight-lipped when speaking publicly on the hostage negotiations, due to the sensitive and malleable nature of the talks. They have made it clear, however, that nothing has been decidedly settled. For example, White House officials rejected the premise of a Washington Post story reported on Saturday stating that a “tentative deal” had been reached. The Post, citing people familiar with the negotiations, said that Israel and Hamas had come to an agreement to release roughly 50 of Hamas’ hostages and in return, Israel would temporarily pause its combat operations for five days. After the story published, White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson posted on X, formerly Twitter, to clarify that no such deal had been officially reached. The Post did not issue a correction but eventually changed the headline of the story to state that the deal was “close” rather than tentatively complete. Hamas is currently holding roughly 240 hostages. Many of the hostages are believed to be from foreign countries, including about a dozen Americans. Hamas released four hostages after earlier negotiations arbitrated by Qatar. As the current deal appears to inch closer to a final version, here are some lingering questions and what we know so far. When might a deal be reached? The timeline for the deal appears to have become a matter of hours and days, not weeks. Israeli ambassador Michael Herzog said on ABC’s “This Week” that “a significant number of hostages” could be free “in the coming days.” Deputy National Security Advisor Finer nodded to that timeframe in his CNN interview, noting that the U.S. is working intensely “over the course of the coming hours and days” to get a deal done. Reaching a deal this week is not certain — a variety of factors could disrupt and prolong the negotiations. But Herzog and Finer on Sunday expressed optimism that the talks were nearing fruition. “The less we go into the details, the better the chances of such a deal, but they are very serious efforts,” Herzog said. What is the holdup? The negotiations are reportedly in their final phase and are now focused on working out more minor details. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said at a Sunday press conference that many of the major points of contention have been worked through in the hostage deal and all that is left is to settle logistical terms. Negotiations have been stalled at different points over the past few weeks. For example, in late October, the discussions broke down after Hamas refused to cooperate until Israel allowed fuel to come into Gaza. The more major sticking points have been settled, according to Finer: “There are areas of difference in disagreement that have been narrowed, if not closed out entirely.” How many hostages would be released? Finer said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the deal would “certainly” lead to the release of “more than dozens” of hostages. Would a deal lead to a cease-fire? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said that Israel will not begin to consider a cease-fire until all of Hamas’ hostages have been released. With the current work-in-progress deal, Israel is only considering a temporary pause in attacks that would allow for the safe passage of the released hostages, not a wholesale cease-fire. “We’re talking about pausing the fighting for a few days so we can get the hostages out. So it’s not a cease-fire,” said Herzog. Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators have gathered around the world in the weeks since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas demanding a cease-fire. As the death tolls in Gaza push higher, some government officials have joined the choir of those demands. But Israeli officials including Netanyahu and Herzog have rebuffed those calls, claiming that a cease-fire would allow Hamas to regroup and restore their resources to launch another attack against Israel.

Cadillac continues to wreak havoc on the world’s autocorrect software with the introduction of its next EV, the Optiq. A compact crossover that’ll slot below the midsize Lyriq, the Optiq is expected to arrive sometime in 2024 as a 2025 model. We know next to nothing about the upcoming Optiq, with Cadillac only dropping a pair of images late last week with no specs or information. “Additional details, as well as available features and pricing, will be unveiled next year,” Cadillac said in a statement. We fully expect the Optiq to utilize General Motors’ Ultium battery technology, and it’ll likely share components with GM’s other compact electric SUVs, the Chevy Blazer and Equinox. This means we could see single- and dual-motor variants, with outputs possibly as high as the Blazer SS EV’s 557hp. When the Optiq arrives, it’ll compete with small electric SUVs from around the globe, including the Audi Q4 e-tron, Genesis GV60, Mercedes-Benz EQB, and more. Pricing should start somewhere in the $40,000 range, but we’ll have official confirmation sometime in 2024. Link

Ultimately, the World Cup ended how it began, with a sense of emptiness inside the biggest cricket stadium on the planet. On 5 October it was because New Zealand whipping England in the opening match was not a big enough draw to fill the 132,000 seats in Ahmedabad. On Sunday, it was the silence that greeted every Australian boundary, the noise coming from plastic seats snapping back into place as heartbroken India fans headed for the exits. When this tournament started, HS2 had only just been scrapped, the Rugby World Cup was still in its group stage and Travis Head was at home with a broken hand. If a 45-day lap of honour around India was meant to culminate with a coronation in the final, then it was the real kings that took the crown. Australia stretched their record with a sixth World Cup success. The best of all time comfortably defeated the best team in the competition. A six-wicket win over the host nation, completed with seven overs to spare, was one of the greatest performances in a World Cup final. Still, the size of the Aussie achievement does not mask the fact it was an anti-climax. While it might be harsh to say the World Cup got the final it deserved, neither will go down as classics. If this was the time to give some much-needed TLC to the 50-over format, an India loss in the finale is a bad result. There is work to do to breathe life into the one-day game between now and the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Australia stun India to win sixth World Cup Australia win 'one of the great World Cup victories' Your team, moment, player & game of the World Cup revealed It is true that well over one million fans went through the turnstiles and records over viewership and digital engagement were broken. In India at least, the public was captivated. There were some truly memorable moments. Head's hundred was one of the great innings in a World Cup final, Glenn Maxwell's astonishing double century against Afghanistan one of the great innings in any form of cricket, anywhere. Virat Kohli invited the whole of India to his 35th birthday party with a ton against South Africa, the Netherlands created history in the Himalayas by beating the Proteas, and Afghanistan won plenty of friends with their wins over England and Pakistan. Angelo Mathews was timed out to bring the controversy, David Beckham brought the stardust. But there were precious few close matches. If the metric of a tight one-dayer is a victory margin of three wickets or less, or 30 runs or less, then this World Cup had only six such results, the fewest since both 2003 and 2007, two poor tournaments. By the end of the bloated group stage it was more intriguing watching the battle for places in the 2025 Champions Trophy, rather than the semi-finals. The problems of a 10-team tournament have been apparent since the format was adopted: a lack of jeopardy until the knockouts, and shutting out the nations that so often bring the most colour, character and charisma. And, yes, we cannot simultaneously complain about the World Cup being a closed shop and bemoan the lack of tight games, because it stands to reason that more 'weaker' teams would result in more mismatches. Yet it is also true that some of the golden World Cup memories have come from unexpected sources: Dwayne Leverock's catch, Ireland beating England, Canada's John Davidson scoring a then record 67-ball hundred against West Indies. At least the 50-over World Cup will revert to 14 teams in 2027, even if the lesson on the absence of jeopardy has not been learned. There will be two group stages and an increase in the number of matches from 48 to 54, but still only three knockout matches, from the last four onwards. My kingdom for some quarter-finals. A wider concern is that success in the World Cup has become the preserve of a handful of teams. The first six editions, between 1975 and 1996, yielded five different winners, but in the seven tournaments since then only three countries - Australia, India and England - have lifted the trophy. In the past three competitions, just five nations - those three recent winners, plus New Zealand and South Africa - have made it to the semi-finals. Clearly, there is a risk of an England-centric viewpoint skewing the opinion of the 2023 World Cup. England were awful, but they have been awful plenty of times in tournaments that were probably better than this one. There are barriers to enhancing the appeal of a 50-over World Cup, not least the sheer amount of global tournaments, which seem to come along on a monthly basis. In the past year alone, there have been men's world champions crowned in all three formats, as well as a women's T20 World Cup. Next year there are T20 World Cups for both men and women. Men's 50-over World Cups take an eternity to complete and momentum is difficult to maintain over such a long period. There is a practical reason for that, with TV companies wanting to show every ball of every match, meaning having more than one game per day is unattractive. A cut in the number of fixtures would lead to a drop in revenue. Until Australia upset India in Sunday's final, much was made of home advantage, with the three previous tournaments won by the hosts. Conditions are clearly a huge factor in that, but so too the opportunity for a host to shift their entire focus towards the 50-over format in the run-up to staging the big dance. South Africa can play as many ODIs as they please over the next four years in order to prime themselves for a tilt at the trophy in 2027. Perhaps more than anything, the World Cup has to be given the breathing space to feel special. It is ludicrous that India and Australia start a T20 series on Thursday, while New Zealand's Tests in Bangladesh begin a week on Tuesday and England will shortly travel to the Caribbean for a white-ball series against West Indies. Cricket diminishes itself by refusing to pause for a moment. If this sounds bleak, the future of the sport is anything but, albeit perhaps not in the way some would have it. The fight to preserve Test cricket is real and worthy, though there is no point denying the shorter forms are spreading the game to parts of the world where cricket has struggled to make an impact. There are more opportunities than ever for men and women to make a living from the game, for fans to watch, for the sport to grow. Global authorities should move to protect international cricket with designated windows in the calendar, but that horse has probably bolted three fields away. A more achievable challenge is to make the 50-over World Cup - still the premier and most-coveted prize in the men's global game - a true celebration of everything that is good about the sport. Cricket deserves a World Cup to be enjoyed, rather than endured. Link

How to do Champagne on a prosecco budget: a tour of France’s most famous wine region The champagne houses of Épernay and Rheims produce some of the finest fizz in the world, but if you know where to look, there are bargains to be had Jane Knight Mon 20 Nov 2023 07.00 GMT Forgive me for sounding a little smug. You would too if you were sitting in stylish lodgings sipping a glass of grand cru minutes away from a prestigious address, the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, east of Paris. The mile-long avenue is lined with expensive champagne houses, from Moët & Chandon to Perrier-Jouët. But instead of forking out a fortune, I’m indulging my champagne taste on a prosecco budget. That glass of top quality grand cru? It’s from a half bottle I picked up at the independent producer Mouligneaux-Gourdain for €10 (£8.70). As for the apartment, it’s one of four in a building under the Bubble 8 name, each beautifully done up with the feel of a boutique hotel, yet at a fraction of the price, from €95 a night. They’re incredibly well equipped, with a full kitchenette allowing you to self cater on the cheap, and, bien sûr, an ice bucket and champagne flutes. A three-hour drive from the Channel tunnel, Bubble 8 is a great place for me to stay with my son Christian, who has just turned 18 and is keen to dive into the world of fizz. Another fine place to stay is Le Logis aux Bulles (€90 a night B&B) in Verzy, between Rheims and Épernay, which has three beautifully decorated B&B rooms, offers a tour and tasting (€7) and sells Mouligneaux-Gourdain grand cru. There’s no better place to start than the pretty village of Hautvillers, less than 15 minutes away from Épernay by car. It was here in the hillside abbey that the 17th-century cellar master Dom Pérignon supposedly cried out to his fellow monks: “Come quickly brothers, I am tasting the stars.” He might not have invented champagne, but he did refine its production, with the help of Dom Thierry Ruinart. By now we’re ready for a tour and tasting at one of the big champagne houses and their labyrinthine cellars We pay homage to both their tombs in the quaint church before visiting the local producer G Tribaut. I could have sat in the tasting room for hours gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the sea of pinstripe vines. But there’s tasting to be done, and although it costs €5 a glass, or €7 for vintages, if you buy six bottles you get three samples free. Very lovely they are, too, particularly as the least expensive comes in at €20.10. You can taste other independent producers’ wares at the wine bar Au 36 (€21 for three glasses) in Rue Dom Pérignon, where boxes of six bottles are sold at the same price charged at the vineyards. My tip would be to avoid Au 36’s expensive dishes and pick up a sandwich or quiche at the bakery and take it to the picnic spot beyond the abbey. By now we’re ready for a tour and tasting at one of the big champagne houses, which offer a good introduction to the champagne-making process in their labyrinthine cellars. They all offer something different, and on past trips I’ve visited many in Épernay and Rheims, half an hour away. Link for more

Sam Altman is joining Microsoft, the tech-giant has announced, ending speculation he might return to OpenAI just 48 hours after his chaotic ousting. Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Mr Altman would be joining Microsoft to lead "a new advanced AI research team". Meanwhile, ex-Twitch CEO Emmett Shear will become OpenAI's new boss. Writing on X, he called the job a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity". But he added the way Mr Altman had been sacked was "handled very badly" and "seriously damaged our trust". Mr Altman, 38, helped launch the firm - best known for creating the po[CENSORED]r ChatGPT bot - and has become one of the most influential figures in the fast-growing generative artificial intelligence (AI) space. So when the board dismissed him on Friday, after saying it had lost confidence in him, it sent shockwaves through the industry, and set in train a chaotic series of events. AI boss Sam Altman ousted after board loses confidence The extraordinary firing of an AI superstar A number of Silicon Valley bosses offered support, including former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt who called Mr Altman "a hero of mine", and there was a backlash from investors, prompting speculation that Mr Altman might even be reinstated. Instead, though Mr Altman is joining Microsoft which has invested billions in the ChatGPT maker. Responding to the post by Microsoft boss Mr Nadella confirming his new job, Mr Altman posted "the mission continues". 'Embarrassing circus' Dan Ives of investment firm Wedbush Securities says Microsoft has ended up being strengthened - but the episode reflected badly on OpenAI. They were "at the kids poker table and thought they won until Nadella and Microsoft took this all over in a World Series of Poker move for the ages", he wrote. "The embarrassing circus show over the weekend at OpenAI was finally taken over by the adults in the room." Reports this weekend suggested Mr Altman's sacking had angered current and former employees who were worried it might affect an upcoming $86bn (£69bn) share sale. A number - including senior executives - have posted the same message on X, which reads "OpenAI is nothing without its people". OpenAI's new boss Emmett Shear is the former head and co-founder of video streaming service Twitch. A memo to OpenAI's staff said he had a "unique mix of skills, expertise and relationships that will drive OpenAI forward". In spite of now being at the helm of one of the world's most powerful AI companies - and being a self-described "techno-optimist" - Mr Shear has expressed concerns about what he sees as the potential existential threat posed by the technology. "It's like someone invented a way to make 10x [ten times] more powerful fusion bombs out of sand and bleach, that anyone could do at home", he told the Logan Bartlett Show podcast in June. The exact reasons for Mr Altman's sacking by the board remain unclear. On Friday, when OpenAI announced it was firing Mr Altman, it accused him of not being "consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities" - but did not specify what he is alleged to have not been candid about. Mr Shear has addressed some of the speculation on the subject. "The board did *not* remove Sam over any specific disagreement on safety, their reasoning was completely different from that. I'm not crazy enough to take this job without board support for commercializing our awesome models", he wrote on X. But Mr Shear committed to hire an independent investigator "to dig into the entire process". Link

Israel announced Friday that it will allow for the first time “very minimal” daily shipments of fuel into Gaza for use by the U.N. and communications system. Aid agencies say the lack of fuel has forced them to call off deliveries of basic necessities in the Gaza Strip. They warned of possible widespread starvation in the besieged enclave because of the lack of fuel, and said most people in Gaza were without adequate food and clean water. Gaza death toll surpasses 12,000, including 5,000 children, Gaza media office says Editor’s note: The following post contains a photograph with graphic content. The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 12,000, according to the media office of the Hamas-controlled government. This includes 5,000 children and more than 3,000 women, the media office said. More than 3,700 people are missing, including 1,800 children who are thought to be under the rubble. Around 200 doctors, nurses and paramedics were also killed, according to the media office. Around 255 schools, 76 mosques and 95 government headquarters have been destroyed by Israeli bombardment. As many as 25 hospitals and 52 health centers are out of service, and 55 ambulances were also targeted by airstrikes, according to the media office. The media office said that hospitals in Gaza “only provide health services to the sick and wounded,” and Israel’s claims that Hamas is storing weapons and military gear within them are “false lies that do not deceive anyone.” “The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip had asked dozens of times from all institutions, organizations, international bodies and relevant parties to form technical teams to visit and inspect all hospitals in the context of refuting the false inflammatory narrative of the Israeli occupation that it has been using for years,” the media office said. The media office called on the international community to apply pressure on Israel to end its raid on Al-Shifa Hospital and open the Rafah crossing to allow aid in. Link

WHAT IS IT? Oh look, it’s another new McLaren that looks the same as the old one. Move along, nothing to see here. Right? Wrong. The new 750S replaces the 720S which arrived all the way back in 2017. McLaren says a third of its parts are new. Depending on if your glass is half-full or half-empty, you’ll decide that’s either quite a lot of new bits for what was already a class-leading supercar, or not enough tweaking considering it still looks so similar. In fairness, most supercars tend to stick around longer than your average family hatchback. The Lamborghini Huracán has been knocking around since 2013 and is currently on its second mid-life facelift. Which is more than Simon Cowell. The Ferrari F8 is a renosed 488 GTB. And that was basically a turbocharged 458 Italia. SO WHAT’S NEW FOR THE 750S? A longer front splitter, Artura-style vents atop the front wheelarch, lighter alloy wheels designs, and a bigger intake in the car’s lower flank to help cool a more powerful twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8. It’s up from the 720S’s 711bhp to 740bhp (it’s a lot less confusing if you just stick to metric horsepower measurements). That means that behind its meshier rear, under that larger (yet lighter) 765LT-esque airbrake, you find an engine producing about three more horsepower than the cousin in the McLaren P1. Wondered what a P1 would’ve been like without all the hybrid gubbins and battery ballast? Here you go. Did I mention the 750S is about 100kg lighter than a P1 too? CRIKEY. I’M EXPECTING IT TO BE VERY FAST INDEED THEN. Hah! Wrong! It’s slower than the 720S. Seriously. McLaren has been busy adding downforce and shortening the final drive ratio, so the new car punches through the seven gears even more ferociously. The net result is the top speed drops from 212 to ‘just’ 206mph. Boo-hoo. But it’ll get from 0-186mph like a hypercar, which makes the quarter-million quid 750S a bargain. If speed alone is all you’re interested in. I’M INTERESTED IN MORE THAN SPEED. Good, us too. But actually, it wasn’t the way the 720S looked, or went, or handled that really needed an overhaul. So alongside the extra frisson of pace and sharper aero, what McLaren’s tried to do here is make the 750S easier to build, more expensively finished, and easier to live with. McLarens are always set up with more ergonomic common sense than a Swiss chiropractor. They all offer so much visibility you can see into the future and a boot deeper than Mary Poppins’ weekend bag. But owners who want to use them every day have been frustrated by the cars’ dodgy phone signal, naff radio reception and electrical glitches, not to mention concerns over the general fit and finish. The company insists this crucial attention to detail is now top priority, so the 750S should be as delightful to own as it is to drive. OUR CHOICE FROM THE RANGE MCLAREN V8 2dr SSG Auto £269,160 WHAT'S THE VERDICT? “Charmingly old school and at the cutting edge of what’s possible all at the same time. And that’s a rare blend – one that keeps the 750S right up there among the very best.” Take a quick look at the 750S and not much is new. Peer at it for longer and you notice most of the panels are changed. It’s the same story with driving it. If you’re not paying attention, it’s a quicker 720S. But if you concentrate, the mass of detail tweaks mounts up into one of the most complete supercars ever created. No car with 750 horsepower has any right to be so approachable. So useable. A daily-driver? Sure. The difference with the 750S is that the interior won’t spoil that fantasy. The engine might still suffer from lag but the touchscreen no longer needs more thinking time than the person in front of you at the coffee shop. It hooks up with your iPhone and plays your tunes obediently. The nose lift no longer operates in geological time. These aren’t sexy, bedroom wall-worthy features. But they will give a 750S a fighting chance of being chosen over a 911 Turbo S for the morning commute. It's actually a curious mix, the 750S. In an increasingly electrified world this sledgehammer turbo V8 missile is a bit of a dinosaur. But its styling is still spaceship, the performance more than you could ever hope to need, and the cabin’s finally caught up with the times. So it’s charmingly old school and at the cutting edge of what’s possible all at the same time. And that’s a rare blend – one that keeps the 750S right up there among the very best. Link

Max Verstappen fought back from a five-second penalty and dropping to fifth to win a gripping Las Vegas Grand Prix. He complained on Wednesday it was "99% show" but the show was all on track in one of the best races of the season. Verstappen, his team-mate Sergio Perez and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc swapped and re-swapped places throughout as they fought for the podium positions. Verstappen moved into the lead with 16 laps to go but Leclerc passed Perez back on the final lap to secure second. Verstappen was penalised five seconds for forcing Leclerc off track at the first corner, suffered a damaged front wing in a collision with Mercedes' George Russell and made an extra pit stop than Leclerc under a mid-race safety car - the second in an action-packed race. But the pace of the man who has utterly dominated the season inevitably prevailed and he climbed back up to pass Leclerc for the lead with 13 laps to go for his 18th win of his record-breaking season. There were battles throughout the field as F1 put on the spectacle its bosses had hoped for when they invested upwards of £500m - including building a pit building on a plot of land the sport bought in the centre of the Nevada city. The investment - which will take in the region of three years to be repaid - already proved worthwhile as the drivers staged arguably the best race of the season. A race befitting the hype The drama began at the beginning when Verstappen, making a better start than Leclerc from second on the grid, got up the inside of the Ferrari into the first corner. But the Dutchman misjudged his braking and forced Leclerc wide and off track as both cars speared into the run-off area. It was reminiscent of some of the controversial moves pulled by Verstappen on Lewis Hamilton in their titanic battle for the title in 2021. He protested that he was ahead at the apex, but that was untrue, and the stewards agreed with Leclerc that the move was worthy of a penalty. He wanted Verstappen to give him back the position but Red Bull decided to leave their driver where he was and take the penalty, which the world champion served at his first pit stop on lap 16. But that pit stop was from second place, not the lead. Rather than waltz off into the distance after taking the lead, Verstappen found it impossible to shake off Leclerc, and as Verstappen struggled with his tyres after lap 10 the Ferrari closed in and was able to pass the Red Bull at the end of the Strip on lap 16, triggering the Red Bull stop. That put Leclerc in the lead and he stayed out for a further five laps, now with Perez behind him. The Mexican had dropped to the back when he was involved in a melee at the first corner involving several cars and needed a pit stop for a new front wing. But he moved up the field, helped by not stopping under the first safety car, triggered by a heavy crash for Lando Norris' McLaren. In pictures: Bright lights and black holes at Las Vegas GP Leclerc's pit stop on lap 21 put Perez into the lead, and his race was aided enormously by a safety car shortly afterwards, called to recover debris from the track following the Russell-Verstappen collision. The debris was Verstappen's front wing endplate but its loss seemed not to slow him down. At the safety car, Perez pitted for a second set of hard tyres, as did Verstappen, while Leclerc, on tyres only five laps old, did not. The stops dropped Perez and Verstappen to second and fifth, Verstappen also behind the Alpine of Pierre Gasly and Oscar Piastri's McLaren. At the restart, Leclerc managed to hold Perez off, despite the five-lap tyre offset, for three laps before the Red Bull got him on the straight. Rather than dropping away, Leclerc hung on to Perez and re-passed him with a stunning late-braking move at the end of the Strip on lap 34. By now, Verstappen had picked off Gasly and Piastri and homed in on the leaders and he passed Perez down the Strip two laps later. Leclerc fought as hard as he could but the inevitable happened on lap 37 as Verstappen steamed past into Turn 14 with the help of the DRS overtaking aid. Perez then chased Leclerc and took back second place, and Red Bull looked to be on for a one-two. But Leclerc had other ideas. He hung on to Perez and as the race neared its climax he was on the Red Bull's tail as they started the final lap, and down the straight he made another great late-braking move to clinch second into Turn 14 at the end of the Strip. Las Vegas Grand Prix - a plan 40 years in the making Track issues cause chaos in Las Vegas GP practice He admitted after the race that Ferrari had not pitted under the second safety car because they did not know what the others would do, and said: "We got a little bit unlucky there," but said he had "really enjoyed the race even though I wanted to win". Verstappen, after his criticisms of Las Vegas throughout the weekend - one for each day - said: "It was a lot of fun. The DRS helped a lot with good racing and the tarmac you could push on the tyres. It was a lot of fun. "I hope the fans enjoyed it and already excited to come back here and hopefully do something similar." Intense battles everywhere The top three were not the only drivers providing entertainment in Sin City as there were similarly intense battles throughout the field. Esteban Ocon's Alpine took fourth place with a single stop, the same strategy as Leclerc. Lance Stroll was fifth for Aston Martin, while Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton fought up from 12th and 11th on the grid to take sixth and seventh places. Hamilton's team-mate Russell was eighth, serving a five-second penalty for the collision with Verstappen mid-race at Turn 12, while Fernando Alonso was ninth for Aston Martin after a spin at the first corner, which gave him damage and a first-lap pit stop. Hamilton was unlucky. A puncture after a collision with Piastri on lap 16 cost him 15 seconds because he had to do a full lap with the deflating rear tyre - only realising the problem as he passed the pit entry. That forced him off the one-stop inverted hard-medium strategy Mercedes had chosen and required a second pit stop. Russell was the architect of his own demise, turning in on Verstappen in their collision and not only earning himself the penalty but causing a safety car that allowed Perez to jump up into the top-three fight from a position that would otherwise have been significantly lower. Piastri took the final point. Norris was taken to hospital for further check-ups after initially being assessed at the medical centre, but was walking away from his car after his crash. Norris was later discharged when all checks came back clear. Link

Russia has launched several waves of drone attacks on Kyiv for the second night in a row, the city's military administration said. Serhiy Popko, head of the administration, said Ukraine's air defence systems hit around 10 drones in Kyiv and its outskirts. No "critical damage" or casualties have been reported, he said. Meanwhile, Russian authorities said a Ukrainian drone heading for Moscow was shot down on Saturday. The defence ministry said the un-crewed aircraft (UAVs) was intercepted over the Bogorodsky District on the north-eastern outskirts of the capital. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there was no damage or casualties. Sunday's air raids against Ukrainian targets follow a wave of attacks the night before, with Kyiv saying it had shot down 29 out of 38 Iranian-made Shahed drones launched by Russia. The BBC is unable to independently verify exactly how many drones were launched and destroyed. On Saturday, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky praised his air force for shooting down the UAVs - the highest number reported to have been launched by Russia in more than six weeks. In his nightly address, Mr Zelensky said: "Your accuracy, guys, is literally life for Ukraine" - but he warned that as winter approaches Russia would try to make its attacks more powerful. He said Russia could be stockpiling missiles for a winter assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Friday night's drone strikes caused power cuts in more than 400 towns and villages across Ukraine and also damaged an oil depot in Odesa in the south - leaving more than 1,500 residents without power. Ukraine said nearly 21,000 people in the Donetsk region have no electricity, and 63 settlements are cut off in the Zaporizhzhia region. Ukraine claims foothold on river bank in south Russian state media retract report of retreat Last winter, Russian attacks left millions of Ukrainians without power for hours in freezing temperatures. Meanwhile, Ukraine's general staff said on Saturday that its forces "continue to hold positions on the left (eastern) bank of the Dnipro river". Ukrainian forces said this week they had gained a foothold on the eastern bank of the Dnipro about 30km (19 miles) from the city of Kherson. The river has separated Ukrainian and Russian forces since Moscow's troops withdrew from Kherson a year ago. "Our defenders are consolidating their positions and firing on the occupiers," the general staff said on Saturday, updating on its operations on the eastern side of the river. Russia conceded on 15 November that "small groups" of Ukrainian forces had set up positions in the village but insisted they had sustained heavy losses and had no chance of breaking through. On Thursday, Mr Zelensky said Russia was "accumulating" missiles and that while Ukraine did not have "100% protection" from Russian strikes, the country's air defences were better than last year.
