We intend to build the world's most desirable cars. It's about leveraging our strengths as a brand to increase economic value and improve the range and positioning of our product portfolio. We will unleash the full potential of our exclusive sub-brands: AMG, Maybach, G and EQ. Our strategy is designed to avoid non-essential activities and focus on Win where it matters: new electric vehicles and proprietary software We will take action on structural costs and focus on profitability. solid and sustained quality, "said Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG in a virtual conference with investors and analysts, entitled" Update of the Mercedes-Benz strategy ", held on October 6 2020. Källenius also said: "With this new strategy we announce our clear commitment to the full electrification of our product range and our determination to ensure that our business is fully carbon neutral, in line with our 'Ambition 2039' goal. Mercedes-Benz's new strategy features a comprehensive program that has been designed to boost the company in technology and economics. It has six pillars: Think and act like a luxury brand Luxury has always been part of the soul of Mercedes-Benz. Moving forward, the brand will take a renewed focus on luxury, making it an integral part of all its products, customer relationships and digital technologies. Mercedes-Benz will reshape its product range, brand communications, and sales network to deliver a truly luxurious experience. An experience that will be electric, powered by software and sustainability. Focus on profitable growth Mercedes-Benz will take steps to improve and recalibrate its market strategy. They will focus on optimizing the balance between volume, price, and channel mix to ensure improved margins for the current and future range. Mercedes-Benz will also focus its resources on product development and its capital on the most profitable parts of the market and the segments in which it competes, in order to ensure greater structural profitability. Expand customer base by growing sub-brands Mercedes-Benz is the most valuable luxury car brand in the world, according to Interbrand. It will remain the guiding star. But Mercedes-Benz also has extraordinary sub-brands: AMG, Maybach, G and EQ. The new strategy will take them to a new level: accelerate their development, with clear and specific plans to unlock their potential and drive substantial EBIT growth. AMG is poised for the next level with high-performance electrification, starting in 2021. Its ties to Formula 1 will also intensify next year, to reflect its identity as Mercedes' high-performance sub-brand. Maybach will seek global opportunities, doubling in size and moving to electricity. Demand for the legendary G is above current capacity. The legend will grow and become electrified. With the EQ brand, Mercedes-Benz will address a new audience with cutting-edge high-tech products, built on specific electrical architectures. Embrace customers and increase recurring revenue Mercedes-Benz is committed to fostering lifelong relationships with its customers. The goal is for customers to love owning a Mercedes-Benz and to be so satisfied with their relationship with the brand that they remain attached to it for a long time, ideally forever. With the new strategy, Mercedes-Benz will seek even greater loyalty, increased number of regular purchases and rapid growth in recurring revenue, both from services and parts and from upgrades and Over-the-Air (OTA) subscription services. The growing number of connected vehicles will offer very significant revenue opportunities in the future, as the Mercedes-Benz fleet will reach 20 million fully connected vehicles by 2025. Leaders in electric mobility and vehicle software Mercedes-Benz aims to take the lead in the field of electric mobility and car software with ambitious product development goals and the accelerated introduction of new technologies. As part of its "Electric First" strategy, Mercedes-Benz has announced the launch of four all-new electric vehicles based on its upcoming large Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA). The EQS luxury sedan is the first representative of this specific new platform and will hit the market in 2021 with an electric range of more than 700 km (WLTP). The EQE, the EQS-SUV and the EQE-SUV will follow. In addition, AMG, Maybach and G will enter the electric world. Starting in 2025, several more models will be added to the range of electric vehicles from a second totally new electric platform, the so-called Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture (MMA), designed for compact and mid-size cars. Mercedes-Benz will allocate even more resources and expertise to the development of electric mobility and will invest in new technologies and concepts to increase electric range and efficiency. The next generation of "eMotors" electric drives will be developed within the company itself and will feature sophisticated inverters and high voltage technology. The company is making great strides in battery technology, with its own R&D complemented by close collaboration with key strategic partners CATL, Farasis and Sila Nano. New materials and production processes will increase autonomy, reduce loading time and reduce cost. Mercedes-Benz has also announced an exciting step forward in the development of electric vehicles, with the Vision EQXX technology program. The goal is to build an electric vehicle with spectacular efficiency and range. Mercedes-Benz has entrusted its group of engineers with the task of pushing the limits of electric range and efficiency with a multidisciplinary and multifunctional team based in Stuttgart, supported by specialists from the UK Mercedes-Benz F1 HPP group, who provide its eMotors expertise, plus motorsport-inspired speed of development. Although Vision EQXX is a technology program, it is expected to lead to innovations that will quickly make their way into series production cars. In the area of automotive software, Mercedes-Benz has announced its own MB.OS operating system. This will be developed in-house and its launch is scheduled for 2024. It will allow Mercedes-Benz to centralize control of all vehicle functions and also user interfaces. The evolution of this operating system will allow for faster operating speeds and more frequent updates, and it will be designed around scalable architectures that will regulate future development costs. "At Mercedes-Benz, we strive to take the lead in electric driving and car software. We will do so with a smart electric platform strategy and our own software development plan," said Markus Schäfer, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG, responsible for Daimler Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars COO. "We are going to do it the Mercedes way, creating a true luxury experience to the world of electric and connected cars. We will leverage the development of our own technology and strategic partnerships to deliver superior products. Starting in 2025, we are targeting strong contribution margins between all the new platforms thanks to a great homogeneity and a controlled investment, and the continuous decrease in the cost of battery systems. In parallel with our expansion of the supply of electrified products to reach a share of more than 50 percent of global sales in 2030, our investments to develop combustion engines will decline rapidly and the number of combustion engine variants will be reduced by 70 percent by 2030. " Cost reduction and industrial footprint improvement Mercedes-Benz will improve its profitability and cash generation and take steps to prepare for the future and accelerate the transition to electric mobility. The events of 2020 have confirmed that the company's breakeven is too high and, with the transformation challenges ahead, further adjustments will be needed. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz will take new and significant steps to reduce costs and improve the industrial footprint in until 2025. Fixed costs will be reduced by more than 20 percent by 2025 in absolute terms compared to the 2019 baseline, through cost reduction, capacity adjustments, and lower staff costs. It is also anticipated that capital expenditures and research and development

After a macro-trial that has lasted more than five and a half years, the president of the Court of Appeal in charge of trying the murders and other violent acts of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party, Judge Maria Lepenioti, read the long list this Wednesday morning of convictions. The most important, the one that considers the founder and leader of the formation, Nikos Mijaloliakos, as well as exporter, Ilias Kasidiaris, guilty of running a criminal organization. Along with them, other members, elected deputies between 2012 and 2019, have also been sentenced: Yanis Lagós, Yorgos Germenís, Ilías Panagótaros, Artemis Mathiopoulos and Jrístos Papas. The eleven remaining members of their parliamentary group are also guilty of being part and participating in this criminal organization. An overwhelming amount of evidence and testimonies have revealed what the hierarchical and paramilitary structure of the organization was like, as well as how it works. For the 68 people charged, the rest of the long sentence considers that Yorgos Rupakiás was the murderer of rapper Pavlos Fyssas, and condemns 15 of the 17 participants in that violent attack, which occurred on the night of September 18, 2013 in Keratsini, in Piraeus. Also found guilty were all the participants in the attack on four Egyptian fishermen in the early morning of June 16 in Perama, near Piraeus, and in the attack on communist trade unionists, committed on September 12, 2013, while they were posting banners for a festival. The sentence considers three of them guilty of serious physical damage. Only eleven defendants were in the courtroom, but none of the leaders. From early in the morning, there was Magda Fyssas, the mother of rapper Pavlos Fyssas, whose murder triggered the judicial investigation into Golden Dawn and its possible criminal component. When the sentence was known, all the protesters who were outside the Court of Appeals, around 20,000 people, began to applaud and Magda, excited, exclaimed: "Pavlo, we won." Great demonstration Since the morning, more than 20,000 people have gathered in the surroundings of the Court, including protesters from the left, anti-establishment, anarchists and other citizens, who wanted to express their rejection of Amancer Dorado and demand justice for his victims: minorities -immigrants, homosexuals, transsexuals- and left-wing people. Syriza President Alexis Tsipras and other politicians were in the vicinity. After the reading of the sentences, a process that will last several days will begin, on the penalties and mitigating factors, with the intervention of the defense lawyers and the prosecutor, as well as the possible suspensions of execution of the sentences, which would mean that they would not enter in prison, but would have probation.

On September 28, 30 years ago, Ariel Rot and Julián Infante were stopped by the Civil Guard on their way to Barajas. His paints pointed to them, gaunt "with eyes on hands." They were going to pick up the recently landed Andrés Calamaro, still unknown in our country, and who was leaving behind an organized life in Argentina, with his record collection, his partner and his house. He had a magic keyboard. La Benemérita did not put them in trouble, and that day was remarkable for Spanish music: that day Los Rodríguez was born. And yesterday, three decades later, “Sol y sombra”, an oral biography of Kike Babas and Kike Turrón, or their story, was presented at the SGAE. That of a Spanish-Argentine group that was too short and that didn't have a bad album. Both Rot and drummer Germán Vilella and Calamaro himself attended the event. I realized that Ariel had had an epiphany watching the Rolling Stones… And I was in a position to give up everything and be born again in Madrid, almost 30 years old. It reminds me of the Brazilian movie “Macunaima”, that there is a baby born with mustaches and who is 30 or 40 years old, says the Argentine artist, who came with a “bomber” and crest, a punk uniform, and who we cannot forget his recent defense of the Emeritus. "Long live the king. We Juan Carlos are still standing, "he tweeted on August 3 in the middle of the controversy. "Political vanguard", he explains it himself. For her part, Vilella reveals that she did not know Calamaro or his music, but she trusted the taste of the former Tequila Ariel. In fact, he formed the band on the condition of choosing the singer. Because Rot knew Andrés from Buenos Aires well, they had even played together, so his vision triumphed: “In three bars rehearsing, not even four, I saw the talent of the group. And I said to myself: “I will continue with this until the end” », says the drummer. "For me it was essential that Andrés was present," says the muñidor. Calamaro mentions several times that "vision" that the prophet Rot had. Conclusion: a unique and intense six-year experience: "We could argue for two hours for a chord," says Ariel. "It's a good reason to argue," says Calamaro. "Six years that were ten or twelve", replies the guitarist with a smile. In this oral biography there is sex, drugs and rock and roll, of course, and they tell us about it themselves and also luxury guests such as Enrique Bunbury, Raimundo Amador or Josele Santiago, who flow or collide through different scenarios. Like the mythical rehearsal premises of Tablada 25 in Tetuán, where Gabinete Caligari also stopped. "An almost mystical place," Rot recalls, where they were allowed to practice for free "because we were lucky enough to accept many favors," says Vilella, laughing. "It would have to be a museum," they argue for all the memorabilia left there by all these groups, including Almodóvar and McNamara. Other key sets would be the Malaysian night of the postmovida and "El Rancho", the base in Chamberí that Rot had paying old rent and where several Rodríguez were staying. It had been Ruphert's hair salon before. Calamaro brings out street scholarship: "Ranch in Argentina is" humble dwelling "or, in prison slang, when inmates gather for dinner." But it was a luxurious ranch. At the same time, and as a fun contrast, they were going bad for money. "Some rested Tequila" Why Los Rodríguez? Calamaro explains in the part of the biography called "A strange name": "The thing about calling us Los Rodríguez was rather because I found out that he had a social equivalence, in the cinema ... A kind of urban legend of losers." Be careful, the name was not received between ovations: We loved it. Yet everyone, all of our friends, hated it. With this brand of personality, like any self-respecting band, Los Rodríguez reneged and also denied the label they were awarded: Latin rock. For me that's Santana, I loved him and listened to him a lot. All those melodic scales came from there and from what was heard at home. But at no point did we have or have a concept of Latin rock, quickly tackle the Rot question. I think the industry invented that term to sell to groups that came out like Maná or many others, ”adds Vilella. Or Los Lobos, super band, says the keyboardist and singer, although during the talk many people talk about the Rolling Stones, Burning, Leño or the Allman Brothers. The author of Brutal Honesty »specifies: We were a reposados Tequila. On the cover of "Sol y sombra" we see the now three veterans and the missing Julián Infante naked covering their private parts with their discs, just as Albert Rivera did to promote Ciudadanos but before they were inspired by a cover of Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They come out slim and hairy. And in the biography there is a key moment: "Without documents" was an album that changed many things. And we return to the longed-for Infante, to his death. For Calamaro, the year 2000 would have been a good time to recover Los Rodríguez, but his loss occurred. “For me personally meeting in 2000 would have been a real salvation. It was a period in which it would have done me very well, "he confesses. Thus, it was only six years of growth and splendor, from 90 to 96, where they began in the conspiratorial shadow of passionate dreams until they touched the sun to act and sweep Las Ventas. "As Janis Joplin said, we made love with 25,000 people and we went home alone," says Calamaro, joking at the same time because, in reality, they lived together. And what would be the ideal setting for a future meeting? «I would like to go back to Tablada, three or four people, nothing more. It would be a good destination. And start from scratch », continues the Argentine. His "brothers" nod. "The Rodriguezes enjoyed that so much," says Rot nostalgic.

The Japanese Hiroki Sakai, right-back for Olympique de Marseille, has exonerated the Brazilian Neymar of any racist insult and is glad that both the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker and his teammate Álvaro González have not fallen any sanction. According to the interpretation of some images broadcast in Spain, Neymar allegedly called Sakai "Chinese shit" in the league match on September 13, in which the Parisians lost 1-0 against Marseille. Nobody told me anything discriminatory. We had a little discussion in a match that suddenly got a little emotional. Now that everything is over, the only important thing is that Marseille won the match. From now on, I will do my best to deliver an exciting derby, he said on Instagram. In a message posted Thursday night, Sakai admitted that these last two weeks "have been difficult" but was glad that the French Professional Football League (LFP) has not sanctioned Neymar or Gónzalez. The PSG star, who was already punished with a two-game suspension for slapping González in that match, claimed that the Spanish player had called him a "monkey son of a bitch", something the latter has denied. In parallel, it was said that Neymar had proffered homophobic insults to González, in addition to having allegedly insulted Sakai. The Disciplinary Commission of the LFP assured on September 30 that it did not have "sufficient evidence to allow it to establish" that these insults between Neymar and González took place, and did not comment on the comments allegedly made against the Japanese.

The P Zero Trofeo R tire was chosen for this collaboration. Pirelli's best performing track tire designed for the road as well. The Trofeo R has been further refined in a joint effort by Pirelli and McLaren to meet the high-performance requirements of this car, following intensive work by Pirelli's renowned research and development division. For drivers who are less used to using their cars on the track, Pirelli P Zero tires are also available. Fast lap times with perfect safety The new McLaren 765LT surprises with a 765 horsepower engine, which generates 800 Nm of torque for maximum performance, as well as aerodynamics that places a lot of load on the custom-made P Zero Trofeo R tires. To comply with McLaren's instructions to build a custom tire for the 765LT, Pirelli engineers worked on the structure and profile, increasing the contact surface to generate more grip and improve traction, particularly in dry weather. Another key element in achieving McLaren's goals was the tread pattern compound. The design of the tread pattern has been created to ensure the best possible grip on the road, both on straights and curves, reducing stopping distances and maximizing lateral grip. All of this added tire performance, coupled with the innovative capabilities of the new 765LT, have allowed the car to go around a circuit faster than any other car ever produced. Pirelli and McLaren The new P Zero Trofeo R created for the McLaren 765LT represents the latest tire born out of the long collaboration between Pirelli and McLaren, which also builds on the great lessons learned from motorsport by both companies. Each vehicle leaves the McLaren production facility with its own Pirelli tire tailor-made for that particular car, distinguished by a distinctive "MC" marking on the sidewall. Some of these tires are additionally equipped with other Pirelli technologies, such as PNCS (Pirelli Noise Cancellation System), which guarantees maximum acoustic comfort inside the car.

As announced, the European Commission (EC) has taken legal action against the British Government of Boris Johnson for violating the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement and breaking its commitment to act "in good faith". The Commission had given the United Kingdom until the end of September to withdraw its controversial law on the internal market, which contradicts what was agreed on regarding the situation in Northern Ireland. “This draft law is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith established in the withdrawal agreement. Furthermore, if it is adopted as is, it will be in total contradiction with the Ireland-Northern Ireland protocol ”, said the President of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, announcing that she had sent the formal notification to London, the previous step. to the application of sanctioning measures. For now and until January 1, European law continues to apply in the United Kingdom, so the British Government has two months to respond to these accusations from the EC before, or failing that, to reform the draft law to fit into withdrawal agreements. The measure has been announced precisely while one of the last rounds of negotiations is being closed before all possible deadlines to reach an agreement on future relations with the EU are finished. The EC reproaches Johnson for being in the process of an internal market law that ignores the commitment that the territory of Northern Ireland must maintain a minimum alignment with European rules, to avoid having to re-establish border controls with the Republic of Ireland, which remains in the EU and the single market. Von der Leyen explained that the United Kingdom is aware that the market law violates international law and fails to fulfill the commitments formally adopted by its Government.

The Ministry of Health has proposed a draft, which will have to be approved this afternoon at the Interterritorial Council, to try to stop the advance of the coronavirus, which will imply new restrictions on mobility and activities in the region. In this way, it is proposed to restrict the entrances and exits of municipalities with more than 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, although there will be exceptions of major cause such as medical or work reasons. It has been taken into account that in the region the occupation of the Intensive Care Units (ICU) is higher than 35% and the positivity in the PCR test is higher than 10 percent. Thus, social gatherings will continue to be limited to a maximum of six people in both the public and private spheres. The affected municipalities in the Community of Madrid would be the following: Madrid capital, with an incidence of 777 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, Fuenlabrada (1,166), Parla (1,156), Alcobendas (979), Torrejón de Ardoz (795), Getafe (773), Alcorcón (753), Leganés (725), Móstoles (629), and Alcalá de Henares (526). The capital already had 45 basic health zones, the majority in the south, under restrictive measures, which affected 1,025,574 people and represented 15.4% of the total of the Community. Now, the measures would be extended to the entire city and Health would recommend avoiding unnecessary trips. The hospitality industry advances the closing at 23 The draft also includes new capacity and schedule limitations. Shops will have to close their doors at 10 p.m., while bars, restaurants and bookmakers will do so at 11 p.m., without being able to accept customers an hour before closing. In addition, consumption in the bars is suppressed and a maximum of 50% of the capacity is set for the terraces and the interior of the premises. Wakes with 15 people and churches at 30% Another measure indicates that there will be restrictions on wakes, which will be limited to 15 people, also in places of worship, with a maximum of 30%, and in the rest of the establishments the limit will be set at 50%. Gyms 50% off and playgrounds closed On the other hand, children's playgrounds are closed and sports facilities will have to reduce their capacity to 50% indoors and 60% outdoors. Group sports practice is also limited to a maximum of six people. These measures do not affect official competitions of a state level and non-professional character and international competitions that are under the organizational tutelage of the Spanish sports federations. The regional government had defended that the mobility restrictions implemented in a total of 45 health zones in the capital were sufficient, but with the arrival of the dreaded second wave of cases, Minister Salvador Illa asked President Isabel Díaz to tighten the measures Ayuso faced with "an extreme situation." Madrid refused to complete its closure, but, if the agreement is finally approved, Health will have gotten away with it. In addition, they have emphasized that "capacities and early detection and control of the disease should be strengthened". In case of reaching an agreement, the measures would enter into force within a maximum period of 48 hours.

"In qualifying I was suffering especially in the first sector. I tried to take a little more risk, but I lost the car first in turn 2 and then in 4," admitted Vettel after qualifying at the Sochi circuit. The four-time world champion lost control of his car in the fourth turn, went off the track and ended up hitting the front wing with the protections, as well as breaking the axle of his right front wheel. His accident occurred with 2:15 minutes remaining in the session, which caused a red flag to be decreed and forced several drivers to try a desperate fast lap afterwards, including the British Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) who ended up winning the 'pole position'. "I knew there was a bit more margin, so I tried and put more speed on, but I lost control of the car and couldn't get it back," he explained. "I'm not happy, obviously, but compared to the morning session, the afternoon was not bad. We'll see what happens (in the race)," added the German rider, who will start fifteenth. His teammate, the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, was also affected, as he ran into Vettel just when he had the accident narrowly avoiding him, which prevented him from completing his fast lap, and after the red flag he did not get a lap to overcome the cut, so it will come out eleventh. "It was scary (the accident), but fortunately he is fine. I am more disappointed not to enter Q3," said the Monegasque in statements reproduced by 'Autosport'. Leclerc assured that he could not pass the tenth time of the French Esteban Ocon (Renault) due to a communication problem with the engineers. "They told me I had Ocon behind, a second or two. I thought I had more margin. I'm angry. I have to calm down, the race is tomorrow and that's where points are awarded," added the Ferrari driver.

Dr. Emilio Bouza, microbiologist and infectious disease expert, has resigned as spokesman for the Covid-19 Group in Madrid. It has barely lasted 48 hours in a position to which he arrived with the commitment, acquired on Monday by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the head of the regional executive, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, of being this technical and not political figure who will be in charge "Transfer the decisions taken in the space of collaboration between the Government of Spain and the Executive of the Community of Madrid." In a letter, sent to the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, and to the Minister of Health of Madrid, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, he explains the reasons for his departure: the initial surprise when he was urgently called to the former's office, last Wednesday, and offered him the position of spokesperson for the Covid commission. The attention with which he listened to them talk about working in harmony between administrations in the search for the common good in the fight against the pandemic. And the subsequent disappointment at the events witnessed. Your letter indicates to the two leaders that “you confirmed to me your will for political harmony and your drive to work together to find a solution to the problem. They asked me to act as a technician and scientist on the council created by both governments and, also, based on my professional career, to act as spokesperson for the group's agreements. I believed in what was promised ”, and therefore accepted the responsibility. But then he collided with the harsh reality: The circumstances that I have witnessed in the following two days, together with the contemplation of the simultaneous press conferences on Friday the 25th, force me to resign and decline the offer. Without a doubt I will continue working in favor of the citizens of Madrid and Spain, with the best of wills. I am, how could it be otherwise, at the service of Health, but I have simply been able to understand that this is not my position in the current circumstances. The two press conferences on Friday and the subsequent crossing of reproaches have blown up the political truce that Pedro Sánchez and Díaz Ayuso signed publicly on Monday, just six days ago, after their meeting at the Royal Post Office. The Covid-19 group in Madrid was created on Monday, at the initiative of the top political leaders of the Central Government and Madrid, as a space for cooperation between both institutions. Bouza's work as Covid spokesperson chosen by consensus of both institutions was, precisely, to be the one who transmitted the decisions and that no political statements were produced but only at a technical level, to try to reduce the level of tension. What happened on Friday represents a complete break with this idea, which could be behind the discontent of the prestigious microbiologist. Dr. Emilio Bouza, with an outstanding care, scientific and research career, is an expert in infectious diseases and microbiology and founder of the Spanish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Bouza, in an interview with ABC last June, was critical of the management of the pandemic carried out in Spain, and assured, among other issues, that "we took time to react, we were able to save more lives."

The new F-TYPE's range of powerful and responsive engines includes four- and eight-cylinder options ranging from 300HP to 575HP, a variety of options unmatched in its segment. All are paired with eight-speed Quickshift transmissions with full manual control via the SportShift gear selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles. Each engine is equipped with an active exhaust system, which can be interchanged as an option or as standard. Customers who choose the supercharged 575HP V8 benefit from the new Quiet Start function, which ensures a more subtle and refined sound: Electrically actuated bypass valves in the exhaust remain closed until they open automatically under load, releasing the fundamental roar for the F-Type driving experience. If you wish, you can override the silent start by selecting dynamic mode or pressing the interchangeable exhaust button before starting the engine. The distinctive pop and snap when accelerating quickly is synonymous with the F-Type, which remains; sounds have been meticulously tuned to suit the range of powerful four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines. Highly efficient close-coupled particulate filters reduce emissions. The filters are perfectly integrated into the exhaust system and trap ultrafine particles as the exhaust gases pass through them. Under normal driving conditions, the trapped particles will oxidize into CO2 and the filter will regenerate each time the driver releases the accelerator. The New F-Type R: Exciting Performance, Outstanding Dynamics The new F-Type R continues to set the benchmark for truly immersive and driver-centered sports cars. Just as its design has evolved, so has the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 at its core. Now it generates 575HP and 700Nm of torque (increasing 25HP and 20Nm compared to the previous model). Acquiring all the learning accumulated in the development of the 321km / h limited edition Jaguar XE SV Project 8, the Quickshift transmissions in the new F-Type R have been meticulously recalibrated for a more engaging driving experience. The new F-Type R specifically offers even faster and sharper gear changes when the driver commands the changes manually via the steering wheel-mounted paddles or the SportShift gear selector. Both upshifts and downshifts are more immediate and provide an even more connected and responsive feel. Combined with Jaguar's torque-on-demand all-wheel drive system and Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) control technology, this delivers truly extraordinary performance and immediate throttle response in all gears and in all conditions. Acceleration from 0-100 km / h takes just 3.5 seconds, while top speed is 299 km / h electronically limited. Custom calibration of the Intelligent Driveline Dynamics and the rear electronic active differential ensures optimal torque distribution between the front and rear axles and on the rear axle. Combined with a new calibration for the Dynamic Stability Control system, this improves traction and dynamics, on all surfaces and in all climates, while maintaining the rear-wheel drive feel and handling balance of the F-Type R. Aluminum double-wishbone front and rear suspension and a state-of-the-art power assist steering system that offers an even more connected feel are central to the car's immediate and intuitive responses to every driver action. Combined with the new anti-roll bars and springs, the chassis is further enhanced with continuously variable dampers at the core of Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system. The valves within each shock and control algorithms have been recalibrated to improve both low-speed comfort and high-speed control. The unique tuning of the Torque Vectoring by Braking system allows even more precise control of the braking applied to the wheels to further mitigate understeer, even cornering at high speeds. The rear forks are now die-cast aluminum, which, along with the new, larger wheel stabilizers and revised upper ball joints, increase camber and stiffness by 37 and 41 percent respectively. This results in more precise control of the tire contact surface, resulting in an even more connected steering feel. Standard fitted with large 380mm and 376mm front and rear brake discs, the F-Type R can be specified with Jaguar's Carbon Ceramic Matrix (CCM) brake system. Featuring even larger 398mm and 380mm discs and six- and four-piston monobloc calipers with a distinctive yellow finish, this system offers exceptional braking performance with excellent fade resistance. The brake pre-fill system ensures a constant pedal feel, stop after stop. The specially developed Pirelli P Zero 265/35 / ZR20 and 305/30 / ZR20 tires are 10mm wider than before and provide exceptional levels of grip. These are paired with the new 20-inch 10-spoke Gloss Black wheels with a contrast Diamond-Turned finish exclusive to the new F-Type R. The core of the F-Type range: Unrivaled choice in the sports car segment The combination of the Jaguar sports car with the 2.0-liter 300HP turbocharged Ingenium engine offers increased agility, efficiency and affordability. This is a true F-Type, with its own unique character. This model retains the expected performance of the F-Type and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km / h. Maximum torque from the 400Nm turbocharged engine generated at just 1,500rpm, along with technologies including fully variable control of the intake valve lift, integrated exhaust manifold and ceramic ball bearing dual-input turbocharger , offers exceptional response throughout the rev range. It also makes it the most efficient F-Type in the range, with a fuel economy of 11.62 km / l and CO2 emissions of 184 g / km (equivalent to NEDC).

A thirteen-year-old girl has died in a hospital hours after being attacked and raped by five police officers in the Kandahar province, in southern Afghanistan, according to the Afghan authorities. The police command and the four officers involved in the events were deployed at a checkpoint in the Dand district and have already been arrested, a provincial police spokesman told DPA. "The girl died twelve hours after she was taken to the hospital," he assured. The assault and rape of the girl happened a week ago. A video has been released on social networks in which the girl tells what happened hours before she died in the hospital. A local official said that the minor had been accused of having illicit relations with a child who was an acquaintance of the police command, who decided to punish her for her behavior. "That was not true because they are both children," said the person in charge. Illicit relationships are a sensitive issue in Afghanistan, where families consider that they are a disgrace for their members and their tribe and resort to different forms of punishment, including murder in some cases.

I have taken a burden off my shoulders, admitted Eugenio Delgado, arrested for the disappearance and death of Manuela Chavero, on Sunday night before the head of the Court of Instruction number 1 of Zafra (Badajoz), as ABC has been able to confirm. The judge, after taking a statement for more than two and a half hours in which he answered the questions of all the parties, decreed his entry into prison without bail for a crime of illegal detention and another of murder, although he has not yet reached the jail because proceedings continue to be carried out both at his home and at another farm he owns. The suspect kept the service before the judge the same version as before the Civil Guard: he went to Manuela's house from July 4 to 5, 2016 for the woman to pick up from her home, just a few meters away, a crib that she had lent her the victim to his family. According to him, they argued in the hallway and the woman fell and hit her head. He was scared and decided to decide the body in an old fox den, which he later covered on his large estate La Dehesa. The Civil Guard, which has already carried out three eye inspections (or one in three times) in Delgado's home, has found a trace of blood in the hallway despite the time that has elapsed. The investigators do not believe the version of the accident sustained by the detainee, nor the pretext of the crib at that time of the morning. "He has had all the time in the world to think about what he was going to say," say the sources consulted. The suspicion is that Delgado tried to sexually assault his neighbor, who was almost twice his age and was a friend of the family, but she resisted. The time that has elapsed and the fact that the first vertebra of the body had not been located until yesterday complicate the forensic work. The UCO agents continue to work against the clock to try to arrive at the closest reality of how the events could have happened. Hence, the detainee has not entered jail and will not do so until the agreed proceedings are completed. This morning, after spending the fourth night in the dungeons of the Zafra barracks, the Civil Guard took him to another farm of his property and later back to the house for the third time to follow the visual inspection, while analyzing the Land Rover that he took from the house. Delgado had known for weeks that he was the main suspect and also the legal consequences he was facing. He offered the version of the accident, but it is true that he took the agents to the exact place where he deposited the body of Manuela Chavero. When he did, he had already spoken to the attorney who assisted him and decided to move on. The great unknown remains what happened between August 27 when the Civil Guard was deployed and made visible in Monesterio in a supposed new search of the victim's home (an attempt to make him feel singled out) and last Thursday when they arrested him . Sources in his environment assure that he did not plan to flee. He's had four years to do it too, they say.

The track conditions were practically perfect as could be seen in the rest of the categories and therefore the times dropped dramatically in all categories and Moto2 was no exception because in just a few minutes the British Sam Lowes (Estrella Galicia 0 ' 0 Kalex) rolled in 1: 35.844 to reduce the time that the world leader, the Italian Luca Marini (Kalex) achieved yesterday, 1: 35.956. And it was not the last opportunity because Sam Lowes himself managed to lower his personal record by shooting 1: 35.800, a new absolute record and the third record below one minute and 36 seconds, which only the British and Italian could access, although there was still half an hour of effective training ahead. With Lowes dominating the Moto2 global table, Marini and Spaniards Jorge Navarro (Speed Up) followed in his wake, very much in need of getting a good result to give a radical turn to the start of the season that only allowed him to score in two races despite always being among the fastest, and the rookie Arón Canet (Speed Up). But the "hostilities" had only just begun because already in the last section of the third session the Italian Enea "La Bestia" Bastianini (Kalex) dealt a new blow to the chronometer by rolling in 1: 35.649, new absolute record of the category, still seconded by Sam Lowes, but with Marco Bezzecchi (Kalex) in third place, who had beaten his teammate Luca Marini, while Canet and Navarro "fell" to seventh and eighth, respectively. Among the Spaniards, Augusto Fernández (Estrella Galicia 0'0 Kalex) also achieved the pass to the second classification with the ninth best time, with Xavier Vierge (Kalex) in twelfth place and with outstanding names such as those of the German Marcel Schrotter (Kalex ), the Italian Nicolo Bulega (Kalex) or the British Jake Dixon (Kalex), while drivers such as the Italians Lorenzo Baldasarri (Kalex) and Fabio di Giannantonio (Speed Up) or the Spaniards Marcos Ramírez (Kalex) and Héctor Garzó (Kalex).

While Pedro Sánchez does not stop attacking the health care of the Community of Madrid in the coronavirus, the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso has already prepared the device to double the 945 ICU beds in 24 hours. The plan would thus allow for almost 2,000 ICU beds to be passed, all of them for immediate implantation because they do not go through IFEMA, but because of the extra development in hospitals. At the moment, there are 16,920 hospital beds installed and 14,208 are occupied, with the data from last Thursday. Of these, 2,850 with Covid-19 patients, that is, 16.8% of all beds installed. In ICU, there are 945 beds installed. In total, 753 are occupied and, of them, 392 with patients with Covid-19. This represents 41.4% of the total beds as of the same date on Thursday. The data from the Community of Madrid marked, with respect to patients pending admission, a total of 339 cases, of which 134 were suspected of Covid-19. That is, the percentage stood at 39.5% of the total on Thursday in terms of coronavirus suspects. The average age of confirmed cases is 39 years. And the average age of the admitted patients, in the 63 years. The plan that would allow doubling the number of ICUs is currently being combined with the effective performance of 26,000 PCR daily in the Community of Madrid. Regarding primary care, out of a total of 266 health centers, none are totally closed. Four are without activity in the afternoon. And one stays with a different schedule than usual. As for the clinics, out of a total of 163 centers, eight close only in the afternoon; four have a different schedule than usual; and eight are totally idle. Restrictions This is the medical device and its situation. An anti-coronavirus mechanism that adds to the new restriction measures announced by the Madrid Government this Friday to stop the expansion of the coronavirus. These measures contemplate restricting mobility and capacity in a total of 37 health areas, the most affected by infections, in 6 districts and 8 municipalities. Entering and leaving without a justified reason will be prohibited. The measures will come into force this Monday because "we must avoid the state of alarm, confinement, that is the economic disaster," proclaimed the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in the presentation of the restrictions. In total, these mobility limitations affect 13% of the Madrid po[CENSORED]tion, a bag of about 850,000 inhabitants, but where 25% of the cases detected in the Community of Madrid are concentrated. Madrid will apply these measures in health areas where the cumulative incidence exceeds 1,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. These areas are distributed in the following municipalities, in addition to six districts of the capital, Fuenlabrada, Humanes de Madrid, Humanes de Madrid, Getafe, Parla, San Sebastián de los Reyes, Alcobendas. In Madrid capital, the basic sanitary areas are in the districts of Carabanchel (Puerta Bonita, Vista Alegre and Guayaba), Usera (Almendrales, Las Calesas, Zofío, Orcasur and San Fermín), Villaverde (San Andrés, San Cristóbal, El Espinillo and Los Rosales), Villa de Vallecas, Puerta de Vallecas (Entrevías, Martínez de la Riva, San Diego, Numancia, Peña Prieta, Pozo del Tío Raimundo, Ángela Uriarte, Alcalá de Guadaira and Federica Montseny), and Ciudad Lineal (Doctor Cirajas, Ghandi, Daroca and La Elipa). In the rest of the region, the municipalities in which basic health zones will be perimeter are Fuenlabrada (Alicante, Cuzco and France), Humanes de Madrid, Moraleja de Enmedio, Parla (San Blas and Isabel II), Getafe (Las Margaritas and Sánchez Morate), San Sebastián de los Reyes (Catholic Monarchs) and Alcobendas (Chopera and Miraflores). The measurements are as follows: The entry and exit of people from these areas is restricted except to jobs or educational centers. You will only be allowed to enter and leave these areas to access the usual residence or care for the elderly or dependents, go to banks. Road traffic in these areas is allowed. There will be open restrictions in parks and recreation areas. Groups of people on public roads will be limited to a maximum number of 6 people, except in the case of cohabitants. Religious celebrations and rites will see their capacity reduced by a third. The funeral processions will have a maximum of 6 participants. Commercial establishments will have a maximum capacity of 50%. The hotel industry will reduce its capacity to 50%, both indoors and on terraces, and the bar service is suspended. The betting shops at 50% of the capacity. Driving schools will also have to restrict their presence to 50% with a maximum of 6 people. And group sports practice is reduced to a maximum of 6 people.

As a leading manufacturer of portable electricity generators, Denyo will work with Toyota to begin testing this vehicle with the intention of commercializing it and contributing to a more sustainable society, the main mission of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1. This initiative by Toyota and Denyo has been selected by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan as a ‘research and technological development project with a low impact on the carbon footprint’. Both companies are actively involved in projects with a positive impact on the environment, this being one of their priorities. For this reason, they have jointly developed this vehicle, with the conviction that the application of fuel cell technology in commercial and industrial vehicles is necessary to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, Toyota and Denyo will collaborate in the possible development of electrified vehicles, a way to show their capacity and contribute to society, offering added value through large-scale electricity supply projects, being able to have it where and when necessary, such as in emergency situations or catastrophes involving a power outage, outdoor cultural events, concerts or other types of meetings. Most of today's electricity generation vehicles use diesel engines both to move around and to produce electrical energy. The use of fossil fuels generates negative emissions for the environment, such as greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Fuel cell vehicles, by contrast, use such hydrogen fuel cells to produce energy. This makes it possible to eliminate substances that are harmful to the environment, with an electricity generation capacity of up to 72 continuous hours, and they can also produce hot water powered by said energy for showers or other uses. The fuel cell vehicle developed by Toyota and Denyo is based on a unit of the Toyota Dyna, a small truck, which uses the same fuel cell system used in the Toyota Mirai, the first hydrogen-powered saloon for its movement and movement. mass-produced in the world. For electricity generation, a fuel cell unit developed by Denyo is used, under a program funded by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment2. The vehicle can carry 65 kilograms of hydrogen stored in 27 high-pressure tanks, allowing it to travel long distances and generate electricity for long periods of time. Verification tests will begin this September, carrying out comparisons with other vehicles equipped with conventional engines to verify the special characteristics of the fuel cell vehicle and its charging and electricity generation capacity, as well as the positive impact it will generate. at an environmental level and the reduction of CO2 emissions. As a socially responsible company, Denyo is committed to activities that are in harmony with the environment and will continue to work on the development of fuel cell systems in its field, as a leading manufacturer of portable power generation equipment. Toyota aims to achieve a huge reduction in CO2 emissions in transportation, one of its activities being to contribute to creating a society aligned and in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1. To this end, it will continue to work actively and intensively in the field of electrified mobility.

The US Supreme Court has reported this Friday the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the dean judge of the highest judicial instance in the country. The death of Ginsburg, 87, comes in the middle of the electoral campaign for the re-election of Donald Trump and represents a political earthquake with uncertain consequences. The replacement of the magistrate could affect the ideological composition of the decisive body on the interpretation of the Constitution and the country's legal system and will provoke a battle in the Senate that will affect the elections next November. Ginsburg, a progressive stronghold on the Supreme Court and a pop icon for left-wing sections of the US in the final stretch of his life, died of "complications from metastatic cancer," the court said in a statement. The judge had been fighting cancer for more than two decades. In 1999 she had to be treated for colon cancer, an ailment that in recent years also suffered in the pancreas and lungs. Ginsburg was a central figure in the fight against gender discrimination before joining the Supreme Court. She was appointed to the position by President Bill Clinton in 1993. At the time, she was only the second woman to wear the toga in US history. The political scene that opens the death of Ginsburg is volcanic. Donald Trump and the Republicans of the Senate - the body in charge of confirming the nomination of Supreme Court judges - have enough time to appoint a new judge before a new president is elected and a third of the upper house is renewed in the elections of 3 November. They could also do so after the elections, because the presidency and the Senate would not change hands until January. The renewal of the Supreme Court has been one of Trump's great electoral cards. In the 2016 elections, the then candidate insisted ad nauseam on the importance of the high court to win over conservative voters uncomfortable with a talkative and womanizing billionaire. Trump has more than complied with that electorate in his first term: he has had the opportunity to appoint two judges and has nominated conservative justices. You now have the opportunity to elect a third as your first term is about to end. If it succeeds, it would leave a Supreme Court with a much more conservative line than the one it found, with six Republican-nominated justices and only three Democrat-elected. This new conservative supermajority could shape America's future on core issues - abortion, racial profiling, gun access, LGBT rights, electoral funding - and tilt the country toward that ideological position for many years (the post of Supreme Court Justice). Does not expire). Trump learned of Ginsburg's death from the hand of journalists. Just after a rally in Minnesota, on the way to the presidential plane, journalists asked him for a reaction to the death. "Is he dead?" He answered with a gesture of surprise. He had an amazing life, what more can you say? She was an amazing woman, whether you agreed with her or not. It saddens me to hear it. Later, in a statement, he highlighted her efforts to achieve "legal equality for women and the disabled" and described her as a "titan of the law." The renewal of the Supreme Court with the bell about to ring for Trump looks back at 2016. In March of that year, eight months before the presidential elections that would elevate Trump, Barack Obama elected Judge Merrick Garland, a progressive, to occupy the gap left by Antonin Scalia, Curator. Then, like today, the Senate was under a Republican majority. Also like today, its leader was Mitch McConnell, a Republican senator from Kentucky. Under his leadership, Republicans stymied Garland's confirmation process to avoid a new progressive judge in the Senate. They then defended that it was not fair in a presidential election year to vote for a nominee for an outgoing president and that voters had to be given a voice to choose the president to nominate the next judge. The play worked: Garland was unconfirmed, Trump won the election and nominated a conservative judge, Neil Gorsuch, who the Senate confirmed. Four years later, that justification from McConnell and the Republicans no longer works. At least for McConnell, who, shortly after Ginsburg's death, announced that he would do what he did not allow in 2016: The nominee Trump chooses will be voted on. In a statement, McConnell justified that the situation is different. Then there was a Senate elected to oppose Obama. Now the Senate is elected to fulfill the Trump agenda. What lies ahead will be a fierce battle in the Senate, which will affect the composition of the Supreme Court, the election of the president and the configuration of the Senate. It remains to be seen whether an ‘in extremis’ election of a conservative judge mobilizes the Democratic electorate or, perhaps, reaffirms the conservative voter on the importance of electing a president and senators with the ability to influence the composition of the Senate. The Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, intervened in the matter as soon as the judge died: “The voters must choose the president. The president must choose the judge. That is the position that the Republican Senate took in 2016. That is the position it should take today. Democrats need at least three Republican defections to avoid confirmation of the new judge before the election. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator from Alaska, already said Friday that she would object. Other Republicans from moderate states who are at stake for the seat could follow. Others, like Lindsay Graham, who argued in their day that they would never confirm a Supreme Court judge in an election year, will have to eat the newspaper library if they don't. A few days before her death, Ginsburg made a last wish to her granddaughter, Clara Espera: "My most fervent wish is that she not be replaced until there is a new president." Whether it is fulfilled or not is going to be the great political battle this fall, along with the reelection of Trump.
