The Jeep Avenger has officially been named the 2023 Car of the Year at the Brussels International motor show after a judging panel comprising 57 leading motoring journalists from 23 countries cast their votes. The all-electric Avenger, which arrives this year as Jeep's first electric car, was awarded the prestigious title ahead of six other shortlisted contenders and follows the Kia EV6, which took the prize last year. The Jeep was a clear winner, with 328 points. Second was the Volkswagen ID Buzz, which scored 241 points, with the Nissan Ariya third (211 points). The Kia Niro finished fourth (200 points), followed by the Renault Austral (163 points). Rounding off the seven-car shortlist was the Peugeot 408 (149 points) and the Subaru Solterra/Toyota bZ4X (133 points). The Avenger joins an acclaimed list of winners, including the Toyota Yaris in 2021, the Peugeot 208 in 2020 and the Jaguar I-Pace in 2019. Other previous battery-electric winners include 2011’s Nissan Leaf, which impressed because of its versatile combination of a 107bhp motor and a 24kWh battery, which provided 80 miles of achievable range. Now celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Car of the Year award was established in 1964 and was first handed out to the 110bhp Rover 2000. The award is supported by nine automotive publications across Europe, including Autocar. With Russian votes suspended this year, the jury number sits at 57 compared with 61 in 2020. Each point awarded by the judging panel is totalled to determine the overall winner. Every jury member has 25 points to award and may give no more than 10 points to any single car. Each judge must distribute points between at least five cars. Major factors under consideration include technical innovation and value for money. The 2021 awards took place at the Palexpo exhibition centre in Geneva, Switzerland, which was due to host the Geneva International Motor Show, but the event was cancelled for the third year running due to the coronavirus outbreak.

A plane with 72 people on board has crashed near an airport in central Nepal and at least 40 bodies have been recovered, officials say. The Yeti Airlines flight from Kathmandu to the tourist town of Pokhara crashed on landing, catching fire. Videos posted on social media show an aircraft flying low over a po[CENSORED]ted area before spinning sharply. There were 68 passengers on board, including at least 15 foreign nationals, and four crew members. Hundreds of Nepalese soldiers are involved in the operation at the crash site in the gorge of the Seti River, just one and a half kilometres from the airport. Video taken where the plane came down shows thick billowing black smoke and burning debris. "We expect to recover more bodies," an army spokesman told Reuters, saying the plane "has broken into pieces". Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal called an emergency meeting of his cabinet and urged state agencies to work on rescue operations. Of the passengers, 53 are said to be Nepalese. There were five Indian, four Russians and two Koreans on the plane. There was also one passenger each from Ireland, Australia, Argentina and France among others. Aviation accidents are not uncommon in Nepal, often due to its remote runways and sudden weather changes that can make for hazardous conditions. A Tara Air plane crashed in May 2022 in the northern Nepalese district of Mustang, killing 22 people. In early 2018, 51 people were killed when a US-Bangla flight travelling from Dhaka in Bangladesh caught fire as it landed in Kathmandu,. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64280480

Jobs growth in the US remained strong last month even as the economy wrestled with the impact of fast-rising prices. Employers added 223,000 positions in December, pushing the jobless rate down to 3.5%, from 3.6% in November. The resilience of the labour market has raised hopes that the world's largest economy will avoid a severe economic downturn this year. The US central bank is raising borrowing costs to try to cool the economy and ease the price pressures. As firms struggle with the impact of higher interest rates and the possibility of lower consumer spending, recent news of big job cuts at banks and tech companies, such as Amazon, has drawn attention. But the monthly report from the US Labor Department showed nearly every sector in the economy adding jobs, with bars and restaurants, health care firms and construction businesses helping to drive the gains. Though job losses are rising - especially in the tech sector - the figures overall remained near historic lows last year, said Andrew Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which has been tracking such announcements since the 1990s. "The overall economy is still creating jobs, though employers appear to be actively planning for a downturn," he said. Fed hikes rates again and warns of more rises US price increases slow as fuel costs fall The US economy has slowed sharply since 2021, when it boomed after the pandemic reopening. Higher borrowing costs are hitting firms in areas such as housing and banking, while rising prices are straining household budgets, raising concerns about consumer spending - the biggest driver of the US economy. The most recent report showed prices in the US climbing 7.1% from a year earlier - far faster than the 2% rate considered healthy. Analysts said the strength of the labour market makes the path ahead uncertain, since the Federal Reserve may need to continue with big interest rate rises if it hopes to rein in inflation. "As long as the labour market remains this tight, the Fed cannot rest assured that inflation will return to its 2% target," said Ronald Temple, chief market strategist at Lazard. Average hourly earnings in December rose by 4.6% from last year, the Labor Department said. That was a slower pace than in November, in what analysts said was a positive sign for the fight against inflation. However, it was mixed news for workers, who have not seen their pay rises keep up with prices. "Worker pay is failing to keep up with the rise in prices at the consumer level. This is a source of stress on household budgets. How that equation unfolds in the months ahead will be key, including whether inflation pressures relent," said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst for Bankrate.com. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64189105

USDA researchers plan to introduce an inactive version of the disease into newly hatched larvae, to ensure lifelong immunity. The first bee vaccine was originally intended to prevent mass deaths of major pollinators in the United States. Mainly, as a result of the epidemic of a bacterial disease that attacked honey bees, according to the Department of Agriculture (USDA, for its acronym in English) of the country. American foulbrood disease is a condition that weakens colonies by attacking the larvae of the species. For this reason, hives in the United States suffered considerable losses throughout 2021, according to researchers from the institution. However, after the approval of this vaccine for bees, it promises to mitigate the deaths of pollinators. How does the bee vaccine work? As pollinators, bees are an essential part of ecosystems in the United States and around the world. The truly serious thing about this disease is that it attacks bees from a very young age, it is highly contagious and there is no cure. However, it can be prevented with this new vaccine. On how the new vaccine for bees works, the researchers explain that an inactive version of the bacteria is introduced into the queen's jelly of the hive. Thus, the larvae will be born with a protection that their predecessors did not have. And what's more: they could get immunity against the disease. According to the researchers, honey bee colonies have suffered annual declines since 2006. Although one of the main threats to these pollinators is this bacterium, the USDA emphasizes that it is not the only one. Pests, parasites, and colony collapse disorder are also severely impacting hives today. IN SOME CASES, THE SITUATION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE WORKER BEES ABANDON THE QUEEN IN THE COLONY. Like bats and other winged insects, explains the United Nations World Agricultural Organization, bees are responsible for a third of world agricultural production. For this reason, the executive director of Dalan Animal Health, Annette Kleiser, assures that this is an "advance in the protection of honey bees." More than anything, because it will be a reinforcement for the health of these insects from a very early age. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/vacuna-para-abejas-en-estados-unidos/

A radical new tech-focused future beckons for the BMW 3 Series, as previewed by the new i Vision Dee electric concept car, described by the German marque as the "next level of human-machine interaction". Planned to reach production in 2025 as a successor to the recently introduced Chinese-market BMW i3 electric saloon, the UK-bound four-door saloon concept is based on BMW’s Neue Klasse platform – an all-new structure set to underpin a wide range of future internal-combustion-engined, plug-in hybrid and electric-powered BMW models. The bold new concept made its debut at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The i Vision Dee’s key features include a range of new digital functions, such as a head-up display unit capable of projecting information across the full width of the windscreen – something the firm has already confirmed for Neue Klasse-platform-based models due out around the middle of the decade. BMW says the move is aimed at taking the bond between the driver and the car beyond voice control and driver assistance systems and further into the digital and virtual world. The concept – whose name is an acronym for the words ‘digital emotional experience’ – also previews a new monolithic exterior styling lineage that the German firm intends to introduce on upcoming production models. “With the i Vision Dee, we are showcasing what is possible when hardware and software merge. In this way, we are able to exploit the full potential of digitalisation to transform the car into an intelligent companion,” said BMW CEO Oliver Zipse. “That is the future for automotive manufacturers – and also for BMW: the fusion of the virtual experience and genuine driving.” The exterior styling, similar to that seen on BMW’s Circular concept car unveiled at the 2021 Munich motor show, previews a new-look enclosed front, with the traditional kidney grille replaced by two separate digital panels, each incorporating LED headlights as ‘phygital’ (physical-digital) icons. The headlights alter in shape and size depending on the function they are asked to perform and also provide visual welcome and departure greetings. This gives the new concept, BMW claims, its own facial expressions. Further back, the bonnet of the i Vision Dee receives a deep central scallop, while the flanks feature taut surfacing devoid of any feature lines or adornment. The side window line of the new BMW concept is set lower than on any of its existing production models. The glass is designed to display personalised welcome messages, digital icons and an avatar of the driver in full colour. It also includes an ‘e-ink’ treatment that allows different patterns and phygital icons to be integrated into certain sections of the exterior, including the C-pillar, which provides a digital reimagining of BMW’s classic Hofmeister kink design element. This functionality was first showcased with a colour-changing iX concept at last year’s CES show. The design theme established at the front is mirrored at the rear of the i Vision Dee, with two new-look light panels separated in the middle and incorporated into a high-set bootlid. As well as hinting at the appearance of future BMW models, the i Vision Dee’s relatively short bonnet, long wheelbase and absence of overhangs also point to subtly altered three-box proportions for upcoming BMW saloons. No official dimensions have been announced, although estimates put the length at around 4500mm - a touch shorter than today’s 3 Series. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-i-vision-dee-concept-heralds-dramatic-rebirth-3-series

A stream of sensational claims and accusations from Prince Harry's autobiography, Spare, have been leaked. The book outlines grievances and bitterness in the Royal Family, such as a claim he and Prince William urged their father not to marry Camilla. But one of the most striking claims from Harry, first reported by the Guardian newspaper, was how he was physically attacked by his brother. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have both said they will not comment. BBC News has obtained a copy of Spare in Spain and is translating it. These are some of the key claims and revelations from the book: Harry and William urged father not to marry Camilla Harry writes that he and William begged their father not to marry Camilla, now Queen Consort, over fears she would be their wicked stepmother, the Sun newspaper - which also obtained a Spanish version after it was published there ahead of its official release date - has reported. The Sun reports that Harry claims he and his brother had separate meetings with Camilla before she officially joined the family. Harry alleges that he pondered whether she would one day be his "wicked stepmother", but that he and his brother were willing to forgive her in "their hearts" if she could make King Charles happy. There is no detail given on when the meeting took place or how old Harry was at the time. A woman with powers relaying a message from Diana Harry describes how his sadness over the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, led to him seeking help from a woman who "claimed to have 'powers". "Your mother says that you are living the life that she couldn't live," Harry says the woman told him. "You're living the life she wanted for you." Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997 when Harry was 12. Harry's account of a conversation he says he had with his late mother is short, according to the Guardian - which obtained a copy of the book and published an extract in the early hours of Thursday. There is also no detail on where or when the meeting with the woman took place. Charles 'did not hug Harry' when Diana died In the memoir, Harry describes his father waking him to break the news that Diana had been involved in a car accident. Harry writes that Charles - who Harry says was not good at expressing his feelings under "normal circumstances" - did not hug him at this point. Later, Harry writes about replicating the car journey Diana made in Paris in the lead-up to her death, hoping it would give him closure - but says it instead left him questioning the official cause of her death. William 'knocked him to the floor' Harry claims his brother grabbed his collar, ripped his necklace and knocked him to the floor at his London cottage. The book sets out an argument between the pair, which Harry claims was sparked by comments made by William about Meghan. Harry writes that his brother was critical of Meghan with William describing her as "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive". The Duke of Sussex said that his brother was "parrot[ing] the press narrative" as the confrontation escalated, according to the Guardian. Live: Harry reveals William's 'red mist' as book fallout continues Harry is said to describe what happened next, including an alleged physical altercation. "He set down [a glass of] water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. "He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. "I landed on the dog's bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out." How Harry lost his virginity Harry writes that he was 17 when he lost his virginity to an older woman in a field behind a pub. He says it was a "humiliating" experience, during which the woman treated him "like a young stallion". William and Catherine laughed at Harry's Nazi costume The memoir also claims William and Catherine laughed when Harry returned home dressed in a Nazi uniform before a fancy dress party in 2005. Harry says he was debating costumes for the event and called on the pair to ask their opinions, he had a pilot's uniform and a Nazi outfit to choose from. He details it in his memoir: "I called Will and Kate and asked them what they thought." "Nazi uniform, they said." "I rented it, along with a ridiculous moustache, and returned home. "Willy and Kate were laughing. It was even worse than Willy's leotard costume. Much more ridiculous." Harry was 20 when the Sun published a front page photo of him dressed in the uniform at a costume party with a "Native and Colonial" theme. Using cocaine at 17, smoking cannabis at Eton and taking magic mushrooms Harry says he was offered a line of cocaine at someone's house when he was 17 and admits taking the drug on several other occasions, although he did not enjoy it. He writes: "It wasn't much fun and it did not make me feel especially happy as it seemed to do to everyone else, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. "I was a 17-year-old boy ready to try anything that altered the pre-established order." He also recounts smoking cannabis in a bathroom at Eton College while a pupil, as the Thames Valley Police officers serving as his bodyguards patrolled the exterior of the building. Harry also describes taking magic mushrooms during a trip to California in 2016, the Telegraph reports. William did not like having Harry at Eton "You don't know me Harold. And I don't know you," is what Harry claims William said to him as he was about to start school at Eton College. Harry says his brother explained to him "that during his first two years there, Eton had been a sanctuary". "That was without the burden of a little brother who would bother him with questions or stick his nose in his social circle," Harry says. He says he told William "not to worry". He claims to have said to his brother: "I will forget I know you." Harry stopped seeing Caroline Flack over media pressure He says he met late TV presenter Caroline Flack when he went to a restaurant with friends in 2009. Describing her as "sweet" and "funny", he writes that the press soon found out and photographers tracked them down. "That set off a frenzy," he writes. "In a matter of hours a horde of journalists was camped outside Flack's parents' house, her friends' houses and her grandmother's house. "We kept seeing each other from time to time but we never felt free again. We kept going because we had a good time together and because we didn't want to admit defeat at the hands of those imbeciles. "But the relationship was tainted, irredeemably, and in the end we decided it just wasn't worth the grief and harassment. Above all for her family. We said goodbye. Goodbye and good luck." Killed 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan While serving as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan in 2012-13, Harry says he participated in six missions, all of which involved deaths, but saw them as justifiable. "It wasn't a statistic that filled me with pride but nor did it leave me ashamed," he writes. "When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn't think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board, Bad people eliminated before they could kill good people." Taliban kill remarks tarnish Harry, says ex-officer William suggested village chapel for Harry and Meghan's wedding Harry claims the royal household dragged its feet over the date and venue for his wedding with Meghan. He says when he consulted his brother about the possibility of marrying in St Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, William said it was not possible because they had been the venues for the weddings of Charles and Diana and William and Catherine, respectively. William instead suggested a village chapel near their father's Highgrove House home in the Cotswolds, says Harry. Harry and Meghan tied the knot at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in May 2018. 'Terrifying' panic attacks before public appearances "By the end of the summer of 2013, I was going through a bad moment, alternating between periods of debilitating lethargy and terrifying panic attacks," Harry writes in his memoir. Describing his duties at the time, from giving speeches to doing interviews, Harry says he found himself "incapable of performing these basic functions". Shortly before speeches, his body would be covered in sweat and putting on his suit was the trigger, when the panic began, he says. "By the time I put on my blazer and tied my shoes, sweat would be running on my cheeks and back". Charles 'begged William and Harry not to fight' After the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh in 2021, Harry describes a confrontation involving him and his brother. According to the Guardian, Harry says that Charles stood between him and William and told them: "Please, boys... don't make my final years a misery." William and Harry 'were the heir and spare' The title of the book alludes to a remark supposedly made after Harry's birth. Harry writes that he was 20 years old when he was told that Charles had said to Diana: "Wonderful. You have given me an heir and a spare. You have done your job." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64179164

Happy birthday to you bro! the best wishes! @Sethhh.

Welcome

A third of the global economy will be in recession this year, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned. Kristalina Georgieva said 2023 will be "tougher" than last year as the US, EU and China see their economies slow. It comes as the war in Ukraine, rising prices, higher interest rates and the spread of Covid in China weigh on the global economy. In October the IMF cut its global economic growth outlook for 2023. "We expect one third of the world economy to be in recession," Ms Georgieva said on the CBS news programme Face the Nation. "Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people," she added. Katrina Ell, an economist at Moody's Analytics in Sydney, gave the BBC her assessment of the world economy. "While our baseline avoids a global recession over the next year, odds of one are uncomfortably high. Europe, however, will not escape recession and the US is teetering on the verge," she said. China to begin reopening to the world in January What is the IMF and why does it matter? The IMF cut its outlook for global economic growth in 2023 in October, due to the war in Ukraine as well as higher interest rates as central banks around the world attempt to rein in rising prices. Since then China has scrapped its zero-Covid policy and started to reopen its economy, even as coronavirus infections have spread rapidly in the country. Ms Georgieva warned that China, the world's second largest economy, would face a difficult start to 2023. "For the next couple of months, it would be tough for China, and the impact on Chinese growth would be negative, the impact on the region will be negative, the impact on global growth will be negative," she said. The IMF is an international organisation with 190 member countries. They work together to try to stabilise the global economy. One of its key roles is to act as an early economic warning system. Ms Georgieva's comments will be alarming for people around the world, not least in Asia which endured a difficult year in 2022. Inflation has been steadily rising across the region, largely because of the war in Ukraine, while higher interest rates have also hit households and business. Figures released over the weekend pointed to weakness in the Chinese economy at the end of 2022. The official purchasing managers' index (PMI) for December showed that China's factory activity shrank for the third month in a row and at the fastest rate in almost three years as coronavirus infections spread in the country's factories. In the same month home prices in 100 cities fell for the sixth month in a row, according to a survey by one of the country's largest independent property research firms, China Index Academy. On Saturday, in his first public comments since the change in policy, President Xi Jinping called for more effort and unity as China enters what he called a "new phase". The downturn in the US also means there is less demand for the products that are made in China and other Asian countries including Thailand and Vietnam. Higher interest rates also make borrowing more expensive - so for both these reasons companies may choose not to invest in expanding their businesses. The lack of growth can trigger investors to pull money out of an economy and so countries, especially poorer ones, have less cash to pay for crucial imports like food and energy. In these kinds of slowdowns a currency can lose value against those of more prosperous economies, compounding the issue. The impact of higher interest rates on loans affects economies at the government level too - especially emerging markets, which may struggle to repay their debts. For decades the Asia-Pacific region has depended on China as a major trading partner and for economic support in times of crisis. Now Asian economies are facing the lasting economic effects of how China has handled the pandemic. The manufacture of products such as Tesla electric cars and Apple iPhones may get back on track as Beijing ends zero-Covid. But renewed demand for commodities like oil and iron ore is likely to further increase prices just as inflation appeared to have peaked. "China's relaxed domestic Covid restrictions are not a silver bullet. The transition will be bumpy and a source of volatility at least through the March quarter," Ms Ell said. Bill Blaine, strategist and head of alternative assets at Shard Capital, described the IMF's warning as "a good wake up and smell the coffee moment". "Even though labour markets around the world are fairly strong, the kind of jobs being created are not necessarily high paying and we're going to have a recession, we are not going to see interest rates fall as rapidly as the markets think," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "That's going to create a whole series of consequences that will keep markets on tenterhooks for at least the first half of 2023." https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64142662

Tireless inhabitant of the jungle, the canoe-billed toucan regulates insect and lizard po[CENSORED]tions from Mexico to Venezuela Talking about toucans is an extensive topic, since this term can be used for any of the birds of the Ramphastidae family. According to Britannica, there are 35 species that make up this classification. They all live on the American continent. They are characterized by their long, brightly colored beaks. Among them, the canoe-billed toucan is one of the largest and most representative members of the group. This is what we know about him. Canoe-billed toucan: an avid hunter of insects and lizards The canoe-billed toucan (Ramphastos sulfuratus) grows to about 50 centimeters, says Britannica. On the other hand, the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) points out that the weight of this bird usually reaches 500 grams. Most of the body of the canoe-billed toucan is black, while the face, throat, and chest are yellow. The beak, which constitutes a third of the total size, is distinguished by being of various colors, green being the predominant one. Contrary to what one might think, this part is quite light, since it is made of hollow bone reinforced with keratin. It may interest you: This was the Quetzalcoatlus, the largest flying animal in history Regarding the distribution of the canoe-billed toucan, it is known that it lives from southern Mexico to northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela. Therefore, the habitat of this bird corresponds to tropical lowland forests and cloud forests of medium altitude, according to the American Bird Conservancy. The same organization comments that the canoe-billed toucan bases its diet on fruits. However, it is also a predator of insects and lizards. Here, the long beak is very useful, since it allows it to reach its edible material through narrow and difficult-to-reach spaces. When it comes to eating fruit, the ritual of the canoe-billed toucan is very distinctive. First, it plucks the fruit with its beak, then it throws the food upwards, while tilting its head back in order to capture it and swallow it whole. A sociable and agile bird Regarding behavior, CONABIO points out that the canoe-billed toucan is a species that moves in flocks of 6 to 12 individuals, an act that makes it a sociable animal. Additionally, it is an agile and hyperactive organism because it spends a good part of its waking time moving from branch to branch with cautious jumps. It may interest you: How did the theory that birds descend from dinosaurs come about? The recently cited entity says that the canoe-billed toucan is a monogamous species that begins its reproductive age at 2 or 3 years of age. Their nests are placed in tree cavities, at heights ranging from 6 to 10 meters. According to the referred text, the laying involves 3 or 4 eggs, and these are incubated for 15 to 17 days. Once hatched, the young remain in the nest for 45 to 49 days. State of conservation The American Bird Conservancy comments that this toucan remains common throughout much of its range. However, habitat loss persists as a threat to this species. Even the hunting of these birds is not unusual: there are those who catch them for the pet trade, due to their exotic nature and attractive colors. In this regard, CONABIO says that, although there are no special management programs for the bird in Mexico, some zoos breed it in captivity, thus achieving another focus for its conservation. Taking care of the canoe-billed toucan is another way of looking in favor of maintaining the forests in which it lives, since this species helps disperse seeds that continue to nourish these ecosystems. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/tucan-pico-canoa-el-ave-que-extiende-sus-colores-de-mexico-a-venezuela/

Aston Martin will imminently reveal the final ever iteration of its famed DBS grand tourer, ending production of one of its most historic monikers with an uprated, ultra-limited special edition. Named the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate, the powerful two-door coupé has been previewed as the “flagship to surpass them all” with improved driving dynamics and exclusive design features. It will likely be positioned to rival the similarly conceived Ferrari 812 Competizione, an uprated version of the 812 Superfast and the quickest and most powerful road-going Ferrari yet built, producing 819bhp and 513lb ft. Just 499 examples of the DBS 770 Ultimate will be built after Aston Martin reveals the model "in early 2023". The British brand also teased the model in a video posted to YouTube. Based on the existing DBS, the special edition is likely to feature an adapted version of the model’s existing 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, boosting power from 715bhp to 759bhp. It will become the second most powerful production car the firm has yet built, until the arrival of the 937bhp Aston Martin Valhalla supercar, which will also go into production in 2023. It will sit just above the 750bhp Aston Martin One-77, the 715bhp DBS Superleggera and the 679bhp Aston Martin DBX 707 in the power stakes. The Aston Martin Valkyrie will still top the firm’s line-up with 1160bhp. There’s no indication of pricing yet, but the DBS Superleggera was launched with a £247,000 price back in 2019, and the DBS 770 Ultimate will command a larger fee, due to its exclusivity and increased performance. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/aston-martin-dbs-770-ultimate-uprated-range-topping-swansong

Russia has said a new year missile attack that killed at least 89 Russian soldiers happened because troops were using mobile phones, defying a ban. Turning on the phones and massive use of them allowed the enemy to locate its target, officials said. Ukraine says 400 soldiers were killed - and another 300 wounded - in the attack on a college for conscripts in Makiivka, in the occupied Donetsk area. It is the largest number of deaths Russia has acknowledged in the war. Russia said that at 00:01 Moscow time on New Year's Day, six rockets were fired from a US-made Himars rocket system at a vocational college, two of which were shot down. Moments earlier President Vladimir Putin had given his annual new year address on Russian TV. The deputy commander of the regiment, Lt Col Bachurin, was among those killed, the ministry of defence said in a statement on Wednesday. A commission was investigating the circumstances of the incident, the statement said. But it was "already obvious" that the main cause of the attack was the use of mobile phones by troops in range of Ukrainian weapons, despite this being banned, it added. "This factor allowed the enemy to locate and determine the co-ordinates of the location of military personnel for a missile strike." Lt Gen Sergei Sevryukov said officials found responsible by the investigation would be brought to justice and "all the necessary measures are currently being adopted to prevent this kind of tragic incident in the future". Russians point fingers after deadliest Ukraine attack NYE in Putin’s Russia - nothing is normal Five ways Ukraine war could go in 2023 The defence ministry's statement was striking for two reasons. The military's official death toll is now 89. The previous figure of 63 dead already represented the highest single loss of life Moscow had admitted since the war began. The real death toll in Makiivka could be much higher, as is claimed by both Ukraine and by unofficial Russian sources. Second, the statement said that "responsible officials" would be brought to justice, suggesting that something went wrong. This is highly unusual behaviour for Moscow - very rarely do authorities admit that errors have been made. The vocational college was packed with soldiers at the time - men believed to have been among the 300,000 called up in President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilisation in September. Ammunition was also being stored close to the site, which was reduced to rubble. The head of Russia's proxy authority in the Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, praised the heroism of those caught up in the missile strike, who he said had tried to pull comrades out of the building. Some of those returning to the building had died in the process, he added. With such a high official death toll, one would think the Russian military's latest update on the horrific events in Makiivka would be the top story on Russian state TV news today. Not so. There was almost no mention of the story on Rossiya-24's main bulletins this morning. Over on Channel One, the main news programme did briefly mention the defence ministry statement, but chose to bury it at the end of a report about alleged victories on the front line and losses amongst Ukrainian, not Russian, forces. "A whole series of Russian missile attacks was unleashed on the first days of the new year against Ukrainian nationalists and foreign accomplices of the Kyiv regime," said the Channel One correspondent triumphantly, using common false narratives to describe Ukrainian forces. But if you switch off the TV and log on to vKontakte, Russia's version of Facebook, you get a very different picture. Communities have sprung up where soldiers' relatives are organising, appealing for information and crowdfunding for troops on the front line. Here there is anger. Many relatives of the Makiivka soldiers blame military officials for the incident, and are sceptical of reports that those guilty will be punished. Some question why Kremlin-controlled media are largely silent on the story. However, there is little direct criticism of President Putin or of the war in general. Pavel Gubarev, a former leading official in Russia's proxy authority in Donetsk, said the decision to house a large number of soldiers in one building was "criminal negligence". "If no-one is punished for this, then it will only get worse," he warned. The deputy speaker of Moscow's local parliament, Andrei Medvedev, said it was predictable that the soldiers would be blamed rather than the commander who made the original decision to put so many of them in one place. The defence ministry's claim that military officials who were allegedly responsible for this disaster will be punished will be seen as an attempt to defuse public anger over the disaster in Makiivka, but also to place the blame firmly on the military, and not President Putin. He has yet to respond to the disaster so far, Throughout this war, the Kremlin has been careful to distance Russia's president from any bad news coming from the front line. In November, Russia withdrew from the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, a major strategic defeat for Moscow. The announcement to retreat, though, was made by Gen Sergei Surovikin, commander of Russian forces in Ukraine. President Putin was meanwhile pictured touring a neurological facility, and did not make any comment on the situation in Kherson. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned on Tuesday night that Moscow was "on the eve of new mobilisation processes". Declaring that "their new offensive must fail", Mr Zelensky said Ukraine had no doubt Russia would throw everything they had left and everyone they could muster in a bid to turn the tide of the war. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64159045
