AMD's unreleased Radeon RX 7950 XTX, 7950 XT, 7800 XT, 7700 XT, 7600 XT, & 7500 XT RDNA 3 GPUs have shown up in a ROCm 5.6 pull request. Unreleased AMD Radeon RX 7950 XTX, 7950 XT, 7800 XT, 7700 XT, 7600 XT, 7500 XT RDNA 3 GPUs Spotted AMD has yet to launch or announce a new Radeon RX 7000 GPU based on the RDNA 3 graphics architecture besides the Radeon RX 7900 XTX & RX 7900 XT but it looks like a recent pull request made within Github has disclosed several announced GPUs as spotted by a member of the AMD subreddit. The list of the cards is seen below (Credits: u/cherryteastain): Radeon RX 7950 XTX RDNA3 gfx1100 (Navi 31) Radeon RX 7950 XT RDNA3 gfx1100 (Navi 31) Radeon RX 7900 XT| RDNA3 gfx1100 (Navi 31) Radeon RX 7900 XT RDNA3 gfx1100 (Navi 31) Radeon RX 7800 XT RDNA3 gfx1101 (Navi 32) Radeon RX 7700 XT RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7600 XT RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7500 XT RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7600M XT RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7600M RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7700S RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) Radeon RX 7600S RDNA3 gfx1102 (Navi 33) The AMD RDNA 3 GPU portfolio is based on three main chips, the Navi 31, Navi 32, and Navi 33. The Navi 31 GPU is designated as "GFX1100" and codenamed Plum Bonito, the Navi 32 GPUs are designated as "GFX1101" and codenamed Wheat Nas while the Nav 33 GPUs are designated as "GFX1102" and codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. There's also a GFX1103 design which is aimed at integrated IPs such as APUs.

Now these AMD Radeon RX 7000 RDNA 3 GPUs have been listed within the recent ROCm 5.6 pull and may just be placeholders but since they are also listed besides their RDNA 3 GFX IPs, we can guess what AMD is planning to do with the lineup. It looks like a possible high-end Radeon RX 7950 series refresh will reuse the Navi 31 core architecture while the Radeon RX 7800 XT will be the only Navi 32 chip on the block. This aligns with previous rumors. AMD has pointed out that they have the resources to develop a higher-end RDNA 3 graphics card that could compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 but didn't plan on making such a card due to price/power constraints. We can speculate that this vision will come to form with the RDNA 3 refresh as the RX 7950 XTX and 7950 XT though Navi 31 is already being offered in its peak core count so the only other updates we can expect from a possible refresh will be higher clocks, faster memory and more power, as we saw with the RX 6950 XT. Also, the Navi 33 chip will be powering the entire mainstream and entry-level RDNA 3 GPU lineup including the Radeon RX 7700 XT, RX 7600 XT, & RX 7500 XT graphics cards along with the mobile RX 7700 and RX 7600 series. It's weird that only one AMD Navi 32 GPU exists but it is also likely that AMD will position its Navi 32 chips as the flagship mobility offerings which might explain its limited nature on the desktop front though that could change when the actual cards are announced. The cards are also only listed in their "XT" variations whereas Non-XT models are also likely to appear sooner or later as was the case with the Radeon RX 6000 series. During its earnings call yesterday, AMD confirmed that it will launch new mainstream Radeon RX 7000 GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture within this quarter so it's likely that we are going to see some of these cards in action very soon. The company also released its ROCm 5.5 yesterday and the ROCm 5.6 pull seems to point out the groundwork being laid out for the newer version with even better RDNA 3 support.

Party leaders are making their final pitch to voters on the last day of campaigning for local elections across England. They are set to visit battleground areas before polls open on Thursday to elect around 8,000 councillors and four local mayors. The polls will decide who will run services in 230 local councils. But they also being closely watched as a key test of public opinion before the general election expected next year. Opposition parties have sought to attack the Conservatives' record on crime, as well as running key services such as the NHS. Campaigning, taking place against a backdrop of stubbornly high inflation, has also been dominated by the cost of living. Chris Mason: What's at stake in the local elections? Do Labour or Conservatives have higher council tax? Young councillors on why they need seat at the table Leaders from the main parties are all making campaign stops later, following the last session of Prime Minister's Questions before polls open. Rishi Sunak said he recognised that Thursday's local elections could prove "tough" for the Conservative Party. Speaking during a visit to Buckinghamshire, the prime minister said: "We are concentrating on delivering on people's priorities. "Nationally, I'm focused on my five priorities - that's halving inflation, growing the economy, reducing debt, cutting waiting lists and stopping the boats. "We're going to keep delivering for people. My priorities are the people's priorities." Target seats Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the country "desperately needs change, I think you can sense that in the air". Speaking to supporters in the Labour target of Medway, Kent, Sir Keir said: "There's one question that really stands out and that is people asking themselves after 13 years 'am I any better off since this mob started?"' Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, who is targeting rural and suburban seats held by the Tories, will visit a string of target seats in southern England. The campaign has been dominated by exchanges on the issue of crime, with the parties trading statistics on the record of the Conservatives in tackling the issue in government since 2010. Environmental issues including sewage dumps in England's waterways, has also been pushed by opposition parties and has emerged as a key election battleground. The elections, mostly taking place in rural areas where the Conservatives still hold many councils, will decide council seats that were mostly last contested in May 2019. For Labour, which has a healthy lead over the Tories in opinion polls, the elections present a chance to demonstrate momentum ahead of the general election widely expected to take place next year. The Liberal Democrats will also be hoping to convert their success in a trio of by-elections last year into increased local representation, whilst the Greens are aiming to take outright control of an English council for the first time. The Conservatives will be hoping to limit losses and demonstrate that a narrowing of its poll deficit since Rishi Sunak took over from Liz Truss shows a possible path to victory for the next general election. Voter ID The elections will also be the first polls to take place since a new requirement to show ID at voting stations in Great Britain came into force. The government argues the rule is necessary to guard against voter fraud, but opposition parties say there is no evidence of this and accuse ministers of voter suppression. People without the required ID were able to get a free certificate instead. Official figures show about 4% of those without ID signed up to receive one. The figure does not include people who applied by post or in person. Others may have applied for a different form of valid ID. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65467742

Stunning new video shows a pod of orcas attacking two adult gray whales in California's Monterey Bay, in a rare case of predation. Monterey Bay Whale Watch videographer Evan Brodsky, who captured the dramatic footage March 30 using a drone, counted more than 30 orcas. The attacked whales split up and eventually made it to safety in shallower waters after a 6-hour melee, Brodsky wrote in an Instagram post(opens in new tab). The video, which was posted to Facebook(opens in new tab) April 2, shows the gray whales huddled together as the orcas swoop in from the sides. Monterey Bay Whale Watch said both whales were "badly wounded" during the encounter. Orcas (Orcinus orca), also known as killer whales, are the only major predators(opens in new tab) of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus), according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. But killer whales usually hunt calves rather than adults, opting to "take advantage" of calves that migrate up the coast with their mothers in the first year of their lives, Ari Friedlaender(opens in new tab), a marine mammal ecologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, told Live Science. And even going after a young whale is no easy feat as the pod must still contend with its protective mother. That makes the newly filmed attack on the adults unusual. Related stories: Killer whales spotted for the first time killing blue whales Still, one attack doesn't necessarily imply a troubling pattern, Friedlaender said. "A single event is really something you don't want to raise too big a flag over," Friedlaender explained. However, if orcas continue to attack adult gray whales, scientists might see the behavior as a sign of an underlying problem, Friedlaender continued. For instance, one potential reason for orcas to continually attack adults is that significantly fewer gray whale calves are available. In that case, the attacks could signify an underlying problem with the gray whale po[CENSORED]tion. While taking on adults is a big challenge, hunger is also a potent motivator. Friedlaender said the gamble to attack two adults was a matter of "risk-reward," meaning the reward of feasting on more whale meat must be weighed against the higher risk of sustaining injury. At the moment, he said there's not enough information to determine whether the orca po[CENSORED]tion is suffering from food deprivation. Should this trend continue, drone footage showing the whales' size and thickness could be a clue to their wellness. He added that orcas have been known to prey on adult blue, fin and humpback whales, all of which can grow to be bigger than grays. Orcas can grow up to 32 feet (8 meters) long and weigh over 12,000 pounds(opens in new tab) (5,400 kilograms), according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries(opens in new tab). An adult gray whale(opens in new tab) can reach up to 49 feet (15 m) long and weigh about 90,000 pounds (40,800 kg). Gray whale newborns are around 15 feet (4.6 m) long and weigh 2,000 pounds (900 kg). Friedlaender said that the whale-watching community will keep an eye out for future oddities. For now, this isolated incident offers an insight into the orcas' hunting prowess and ambition. "It never ceases to inspire a lot of awe for the animals," Friedlaender said. "Killer whales are pretty amazing and there's nothing that's too big for them." https://www.livescience.com/animals/whales/in-rare-attack-30-orcas-badly-wounded-2-adult-gray-whales-in-california

Lionel Messi will leave Paris St-Germain this summer at the end of his current contract. The Argentine World Cup winner had reached an 'agreement in principle' to extend his stay for another year but neither club nor player now want to sign the deal. Messi is unconvinced the club can compete at the top of the European game, due to financial issues, while the French champions want to focus on developing young talent. He signed a two-year deal in Paris in 2021 with an option to renew for another year but that will now not be activated. It is understood his father Jorge Messi informed Paris St-Germain's football advisor Luis Campos a few weeks ago. The player believes PSG's budget could be limited next season to comply with Financial Fair Play rules - putting the quality of their squad at risk. His reluctance to commit to a new deal in recent months has frustrated PSG's Qatari owners, who believe Messi's lack of response was a clear message he didn't want to stay The 35-year-old was suspended by PSG for two weeks on Tuesday after travelling to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission. Barcelona and Messi would be keen on securing a dream return for the forward to the Nou Camp but, with the La Liga leaders facing severe financial difficulties, a move back 'home' looks increasingly unlikely. He also has interest from Inter Miami in Major League Soccer and an eyewatering offer of about 400m euros (£354m) to play in Saudi Arabia for a year with Al-Hilal. Messi though believes he can still compete at the top of European football for another season - eyeing the chance to win a fifth Champions League trophy - but, with a move to Barcelona looking impossible, his options are looking increasingly limited. Messi has scored 31 goals and contributed 34 assists in 71 games in all competitions for PSG, and won the Ligue 1 title last season. He is set to miss matches against Troyes and Ajaccio as PSG, five points clear with five games to go, look to clinch a ninth league title in 11 seasons. Messi, Barcelona's all-time top scorer with 672 goals in 778 games, left the Nou Camp in 2021 because of financial issues at the club. He is favourite to win an eighth Ballon d'Or in October, which is three more than any other player, after winning the World Cup with Argentina in December. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/65465532

At least 130 people have died after floods and landslides hit Rwanda's northern and western provinces, authorities say. The rains hit at night when many people were asleep - an official told the BBC this is one reason why so many died. The five-year-old daughter of Claudette Nyiraneza was among them. "We could not save my daughter under the rubble until morning," she told the BBC, adding that neighbours eventually helped retrieve her body. Local governor François Habitegeko said many houses had collapsed on people. He said that main roads in the area "are not usable because of landslides". Rwanda's public broadcaster RBA reports that the casualty numbers are expected to increase as floodwaters continue to rise. Rwanda's president offered his condolences to those who have been affected. His statement also added that residents were being evacuated from "affected and high-risk areas". The government's main priority now is to "reach every house that has been damaged to ensure we can rescue any person who may be trapped", the Reuters news agency quotes Mr Habitegeko as saying. Relief efforts have already started, "including helping to bury victims of the disaster and providing supplies to those whose homes were destroyed," a government minister for emergencies, Marie Solange Kayisire, told AFP Africa Live Page: For news updates from around the continent The heavy rains pounded Rwanda "all night" and more downpours are expected throughout the month, authorities say. Heavy rains and consequent damage and casualties between March and May are commonplace in Rwanda, but the deluge on Tuesday night was unusually strong and long-lasting. This is the worst flooding Rwanda has seen since May 2020 when around 80 people died. Deaths have also been reported in neighbouring Uganda, where six people have died after landslides, the Ugandan Red Cross says. Rwanda's weather authority is linking the unusual rains seen in recent years to climate change. Many factors contribute to flooding, but a warming atmosphere caused by climate change makes extreme rainfall more likely. The world has already warmed by about 1.2C since the industrial era began and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65469374

What are the best romantic movies on Netflix? The 12 titles below are a mix of comedies, comedy-dramas, and dramas. They star the likes of Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Manisha Koirala, Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Joaquin Phoenix, Kalki Koechlin, Saif Ali Khan, and Preity Zinta. And they come from directors such as Anurag Kashyap, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Farhan Akhtar, Spike Jonze, Nora Ephron, Mani Ratnam, and Ang Lee. A “⭐” marks an editors' choice. You might find more romantic movies in our list of best movies. If you're looking for more movies on Netflix, we've recommendations for some select other genres as well that you should check out. We also have a similar article for best romantic movies on Amazon Prime Video. The Age of Innocence (1993) Martin Scorsese displays restraint with this adaptation of Edith Wharton's 1920 novel of the same name, about the grandeur and hypocrisy of 1870s high society, that follows an attorney (Daniel Day-Lewis) who is engaged to fellow attorney and socialite (Winona Ryder), and then falls for her livelier cousin and heiress (Michelle Pfeiffer) who's separated from her husband. Barfi! (2012) Set in the 1970s amidst the hills of Darjeeling, writer-director Anurag Basu tells the tale of three people (Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Ileana D'Cruz) as they learn to love while battling the notions held by society. The film was praised for its heartwarming nature, but criticised for its narrative handling and forced prettiness, with one critic going so far to call it “facile and plastic”. Bombay (1995) Set during the 1992–93 Bombay riots, writer-director Mani Ratnam offers a look at the communal tensions that cause a strain on the relationship between a Muslim woman (Manisha Koirala) and a Hindu man (Arvind Swamy). The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Born as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home, the titular man (Brad Pitt) ages in reverse in this fantasy drama from director David Fincher, with his love for the dancer Daisy (Cate Blanchett) the only thing that keeps him going through the unusual adventures that pepper his life. https://www.gadgets360.com/entertainment/guide/netflix-best-movies-romantic-india-2534996

Introduction For a while there, we weren't willing to get our hopes up that there would be a global Xiaomi Ultra again - the 2021 model could very well have remained a one-off to remember fondly. Then at one point, we were led to believe that not only was there not going to be a global one, there wasn't going to be one at all. Well, in the end, it all worked out nicely, and we now have the Xiaomi 13 Ultra - one for China and one for the world. With that said, we still have to point out that Xiaomi sent us a version of the handset running China-specific software. So, while theoretically, a global variant is supposed to be available at one time or another, we haven't yet touched or seen it. For the purposes of this review, however, that's largely inconsequential. That's in part because what's most important about the 13 Ultra transcends regional software specifics. We're talking about the one-of-a-kind quad-camera setup on the back of the handset. And you know it's something special when the 50MP 1-inch main unit - undisputedly the headliner of the bunch, is joined by a couple of telephotos and an ultrawide, each of them with a 50MP sensor of its own. We look forward to starting this camera section with both excitement and apprehension. But all in due time. There's a smartphone strapped to that Leica-co-engineered marvel of a camera system, and it's a proper high-end one too. The latest Snapdragon, a cutting-edge high-res, high-refresh-rate OLED display, dust and water resistance, and fast charging - finding something to complain about on the following pages is going to be tough. Initially, looking at the pictures, we thought the design would be that, but after experiencing the handset in person, the looks of it have grown on us too. Here's a quick summary of the more important specs before we get going. Xiaomi 13 Ultra specs at a glance: Body: 163.2x74.6x9.1mm, 227g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus), eco-leather back, aluminum frame; IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min).

Connectivity: 5G; Dual SIM; Wi-Fi 6e; BT 5.3, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive; NFC; Infrared port. Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers. Xiaomi 13 Ultra unboxing The 13 Ultra's presentation is no different than that of any recent Xiaomi Pro or Ultra. The black color is all that sets it apart from the lesser models in the lineup, and the red Leica dot is a lone splash of color on the cardboard. Inside, you'll find the phone, a 90W power adapter, and a USB-A-to-C cable to go with it. Also included is a black snap-on case that doesn't quite live up to the standard of the Ultra itself, though its utility shouldn't be affected by its less-than-premium appearance. What you won't find inside the regular retail package is the Xiaomi 13 Ultra Professional Camera Bundle, which can be purchased separately in China for CNY 1000 (€130). The kit includes a nicer phone case, a separate right-hand grip, a filter adapter ring that lets you screw on standard 67mm lens filters, a lens cap (or, rather, a whole camera system cap in this case), and a lanyard. The whole thing makes the Ultra look even less like a phone and more like a compact camera, and the hand grip makes it behave like one, too, thanks to its two-stage shutter release button and a zoom rocker. Unfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to play with this set of accessories. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_13_ultra-review-2562.php

The anxiety around Mother Earth may be getting to most of us - even if delayed by several decades - but what's even more stressful is the slew of decisions that need to be made when you do want to turn your life a bit environment-friendly. Along with our fashion and vacation choices, one of the most significant polluting factors is the everyday city commute. Not every city is equipped to deal with electric cars, and not everyone can even afford to buy one. With congested traffic and soaring fuel prices, the urban commute has never been more anxiety-inducing than it is in this post-pandemic era of "stay outdoors all the time!" Yadea, the world's no.1 electric two-wheeler manufacturer, has come up with a brilliant solution to all your traffic, fuel, and sustainability woes. The company has just launched its Scooter ElitePrime, which will make riding as comfortable as an SUV - claims Yadea. Yadea Scooter ElitePrime is designed exclusively for urban mobility, "tailor-made for a generation of professionals and go-getters" who want to upgrade their city commute. The ElitePrime is built to last with a frame you can trust on the road. Mimicking the SUV design and power, the ElitePrime sports an aluminum design with a modern shine that turns heads while giving you a rattle-free ride! Promising to make commuting both fun and fast, Yadea Scooter ElitePrime features a wide footboard, high ground clearance, and double suspension. With a powerful 800W motor (1500W peak output) ElitePrime can reach speeds of up to 18.6/mph and offer a 40-mile (65 kilometers) range on a single charge! Yadea is a top electric two-wheeler brand with decades of industry experience, 1350+ patents, and over 70 million users. The company continues to prioritize sustainability and offers innovative technology with safety and comfort at the very center of the design. This vast experience and access to customer feedback enabled the company to see the focus on the customer comfort that was missing from the e-Scooters available in the market. Why can't we get the comfort and style of an SUV that people seem to love so much with electric scooters? Yes, we can! Built for comfort, Yadea Scooter ElitePrime is made to ride Introducing comfort, power, style, and stability with the Yadea Scooter ElitePrime, the team has launched its crowdfunding campaign this week. A strong motor means you can zip through the town at a max speed of 18.6mph, and when climbing hills, the motor pumps out a massive 1500W for short spurts to maintain your max speed. In comparison, most e-scooters can only give 500-700W max power. This increased power means even on steep 30% inclines, the ElitePrime will maintain full speed, feeling right at home on the slopes. Along with a powerful motor, ElitePrime also features polymer shock absorbers that reduce rattle and absorb impact with front and rear suspension, giving you the cushion, comfort, and confidence to move through the fast, urban streets. Whether you move on a street or a sidewalk, you will always experience smoother rides.

BBC chairman Richard Sharp has resigned after breaking rules over dealings with Boris Johnson ahead of his appointment. A report found Mr Sharp created the appearance of a conflict of interest by not fully disclosing his knowledge of the ex-PM's personal finances. His position was scrutinised after it emerged he tried to secure a high-level government meeting for a businessman offering Mr Johnson financial help. Mr Sharp defended his conduct but said he did not want to be a distraction. A critical report led by barrister Adam Heppinstall was published on Friday, after months of speculation about Mr Sharp's position and a row about BBC independence. The probe was set up after reports in the Sunday Times revealed Mr Sharp, a close associate of Mr Johnson, had played some role in the PM's personal finances at the same time as he was seeking to secure the senior BBC job. In late 2020, Mr Sharp sought to arrange a meeting between Cabinet Secretary Simon Case and Sam Blyth, a distant cousin of Mr Johnson who had offered to support the PM financially, after reading press claims he was struggling to make ends meet. The ex-investment banker and Conservative Party donor had already applied for the senior BBC job when he approached Mr Case and was appointed a few months later. BBC chairman resigns: Sharp's statement in full Analysis: Did BBC boss tell Sharp he had to go? Richard Sharp report at a glance The report found he had failed to disclose two potential perceived conflicts of interest: first, by telling Mr Johnson he wanted to apply for the BBC role before doing so; and second, by telling the PM he intended to set up a meeting between Mr Case, the country's most senior civil servant, and Mr Blyth. It notes that Mr Sharp does not accept the first conclusion, but he has apologised for the second, though described it as "inadvertent and not material". The report found "there is a risk of a perception that Mr Sharp was recommended for appointment" because he sought to assist the PM in a private financial matter "and/or that he influenced the former prime minister to recommend him by informing him of his application before he submitted it". It described his involvement in Mr Johnson's private financial affairs as "very limited" but concluded that it should have been declared anyway - even though the meeting between Mr Case and Mr Blyth did not subsequently take place. The report did not make a judgement "on whether Mr Sharp had any intention of seeking to influence the former Prime Minister in this manner". Mr Sharp has previously insisted he believed flagging his BBC application with Mr Case and agreeing to have no further involvement in any loan discussions resolved any conflict of interest issues, and therefore they did not need to be further disclosed - but the report disagreed with his position. He said he did not play "any part whatsoever in the facilitation, arrangement, or financing of a loan for the former prime minister" but that he was quitting in order to "prioritise the interests of the BBC". Mr Sharp conceded that with hindsight he should have disclosed his role in setting up a meeting between Mr Case and Mr Blyth to the appointments panel during the scrutiny process ahead of him taking up the senior role, and he apologised for the "oversight". Perceptions matter The details of who said what to who and when are complicated but there is a simple issue, did Richard Sharp tell the full truth when he applied for the job? He says today's independent report makes clear that he didn't and he was in breach of the rules. That breach he says was "inadvertent" and an "error" he regrets - but it matters. He is the head of the BBC and its reputation is based on trust. The job description for the BBC Chairman says it is essential that they "observe high standards of openness and seek to maximise transparency and accountability". MPs on the Commons Media Select Committee have already criticised Richard Sharp for a lack of openness and transparency for not revealing his role in a loan guarantee to Boris Johnson. These were, they said, "serious errors of judgment". Their report added: "Mr Sharp has accepted that his failure to disclose this involvement has caused embarrassment to him and the BBC and has potentially been misconstrued, both of which are tests on conflicts that the public appointments process specifically requires candidates to consider." It's probably worth quoting here the exact words from the Cabinet Office's Governance Code: "If you have any interests that might be relevant to the work of the BBC, and which could lead to a real or perceived conflict of interest if you were to be appointed, please provide details in your application." Perceptions matter. The weeks of headlines and the critical conclusions of two reports into his actions have certainly been, in his words, "a distraction from the Corporation's good work". The report also called for an overhaul of the rules around public appointments, and criticised the leaking of ministers' preferred candidates for senior jobs to the media - pointing out there were reports about Mr Sharp being tipped for the BBC role in newspapers before the process was completed. Mr Sharp's position came under further scrutiny in March following Gary Lineker's suspension over a tweet criticising government asylum policy, a decision which triggered a wider row about BBC impartiality. Critics of the BBC's handling of the issue contrasted Lineker's suspension with how allegations against Mr Sharp were dealt with, pointing out the chairman was able to remain in post despite ongoing investigations. Lineker tweeted on Friday the BBC chair should "not be selected by the government of the day... not now, not ever". The BBC chair can only be appointed or sacked by the government. The BBC director general, the executive who has ultimate editorial control over the corporation, does not have the power to remove them. Responding to the resignation, the BBC's former controller of editorial policy, Richard Ayre, said the matter came down to "the integrity and transparency" of Mr Sharp's application and that he "had to go". He continued: "Meaningfully or not he had done a favour [for Mr Johnson]. He didn't declare that to the assessment panel." Tim Davie, director-general of the BBC, said Mr Sharp had made a "significant contribution to the transformation and success of the BBC". Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he has not seen the report into Mr Sharp and did not guarantee a non-political figure would replace him. Speaking to reporters in Glasgow, Mr Sunak said: "There's an appointments process that happens for those appointments. I'm not going to prejudge that." Labour's shadow culture secretary Lucy Powell said: "The prime minister should have sacked him weeks ago. Instead it took this investigation, called by Labour, to make him resign." Mr Sharp will remain in post until a successor is appointed in June https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65323077

Rats are thin-tailed, medium-size rodents that originated in Asia and Australia but are now found all over the world. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, but other rodent genera are also referred to as rats and share many of the same characteristics. What's the difference between rats and mice? Rats are generally larger, with longer, thinner bodies and long legs. Here's everything you need to know about rats, their habitats, behaviors and more. How big can rats get? With nearly 60 species of rat discovered so far, these rodents come in all sizes. They are typically 5 inches (12 centimeters), or longer, according to Encyclopedia Britannica(opens in new tab). The largest species of rat is the Bosavi woolly rat, which was discovered in 2009 in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea (and doesn't have a scientific name yet). It is about the size of a cat — 32.2 inches (82 cm) from nose to tail and weighs around 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kilograms), according to CNN(opens in new tab). https://www.livescience.com/52342-rats.html

[Auto] NEVS Emily GT: Saab engineers shock with 621-mile EV
-Artisan ツ posted a topic in Auto / Moto
NEVS, the electric car company born from the ashes of Saab more than a decade ago, has revealed the sophisticated model it was developing before its Chinese owners put it in “hibernation mode”. The Emily GT is claimed to be capable of driving more than 1000km (621 miles) between charges, thanks to a huge 175kWh battery. Battery capacities of 140kWh and 105kWh were also planned, as was 11kW wireless charging via a pad connected to a fixed hub. In-wheel motors making 121bhp are mounted at each corner, giving the Emily GT 484bhp in total. Each motor sandwiches a drive unit between the alloy wheel and the aluminium brake disc, reportedly giving finer control of torque vectoring. Such was the extent of the vectoring that the car could turn without using the steering wheel. Emily programme director and former Saab engineer Peter Dahl told Swedish publication Carup: “The possibilities for torque vectoring are fantastic. All torque can be controlled. It’s like changing from straight slalom skis to carving skis. "In addition, the wheel motors ensure that all backlash is eliminated, resulting in an incredibly direct and solid feeling. “On the downside, the unsprung weight on each wheel is higher. We have solved that with a good chassis with air suspension and active dampers.” A high-performance variant of the Emily was also in the pipeline, with planned outputs of 653bhp and 1623lb ft. This would cut its 0-62mph sprint time down from 4.6sec to 3.2sec. The striking styling – which bears a strong resemblance to the final Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-5 – is reported to have been penned by an unnamed Italian and refined by former Saab designers. NEVS' owner, the Evergrande Group, originally signed off a run of 20 prototypes. However, Evergrande – which made its fortune as one of China’s most prolific property developers – hit financial problems in 2020, and only six were built. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/nevs-emily-gt-saab-engineers-shock-621-mile-ev -
One of Sudan's duelling generals, who leads the paramilitary force fighting the country's army, has told the BBC he will not negotiate until fighting ends. But Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, said his fighters were being "relentlessly" bombed since a three-day truce had been extended. "We don't want to destroy Sudan," he said, blaming army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for the violence. Gen Burhan has tentatively agreed to face-to-face talks in South Sudan. Thursday night's extension of an uneasy ceasefire followed intensive diplomatic efforts by neighbouring countries, as well as the US, UK and UN. Hemedti said he was open to talks but the condition was that the ceasefire should hold: "Cease hostilities. After that we can have negotiations." He said he had no personal problem with Gen Burhan, but regarded him as a traitor for bringing into government those loyal to former President Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted by the army and RSF together in 2019 after mass street protests. Bashir's regime - in power for three decades - was known for its Islamist ideology and imposition of a strict version of Sharia (Islamic law). "Unfortunately Burhan is being led by the radical Islamic front leaders," Hemedti said. In 2021, he and Gen Burhan overturned an agreement to share power with civilians, taking full control in a coup. They fell out this year over the proposed return to civilian rule, in particular about the timeframe of incorporating Hemedti's 100,000-strong Rapid Support Force's (RSF) inclusion into the army. "I am looking forward to having the civilian government today - before tomorrow, a fully civilian government. This is my principle," Hemedti told the BBC. This is not the first time the RSF leader has spoken of his commitment to democracy, although analysts point out that his forces have brutally put down civilian protests in the past. The two generals fighting over Sudan's future Hemedti told the BBC that his RSF fighters were not the enemies of the military soldiers, explaining they were battling to protect the country from "the relics of the government of the past 30 years". "We won't fight you. Please go back to your army divisions and we won't fight you." Fears grow as violence spreads Hemedti's comments to the BBC come as millions remain trapped in the capital Khartoum, where there are shortages of food, water and fuel. In some parts of the city, trenches have been dug as rival troops battle each other street by street, AFP reports. The UN says RSF troops are forcing people from their homes and looting and extortion is taking place. However, Hemedti told the BBC his rivals were dressing up in RSF uniforms in order to discredit his fighters. He categorically denied involvement in looting and taking over hospitals, saying his troops were trying to help residents of a city reeling from fierce clashes that began 14 days ago. "My team is working on the water and electricity supplies for the areas we control. Unfortunately all the technicians and engineers have disappeared. And this is our main problem," he said. Stuck at Sudan border as drivers demand $40,000 to cross Three ways the conflict in Sudan could play out 'I saw pick-up trucks full of dead people': Trapped in Darfur At least 512 people have been killed and 4,193 wounded in the fighting, according to health ministry figures, although the real death toll is likely much higher. The UN says hundreds of thousands of Sudanese have now fled their homes, often paying huge sums to leave and facing abuses en route. As well as the thousands of foreigners who have been evacuated, tens of thousands of Sudanese have crossed into neighbouring countries, including Chad, Egypt and South Sudan. Reuters reports a UN official as saying some have walked from Khartoum to South Sudan's border, a distance of more than 400km (250 miles). Earlier a Turkish evacuation plane was shot at as it was landing at an airport outside Khartoum. No-one was injured and the RSF denied accusations by the army that it was involved. Those remaining in Khartoum describe living in a "constant state of fear". "We hear the sounds of planes and explosions. We don't know when this hell will end," 65-year-old Mahasin al-Awad, a resident of Bahri, a northern area of Khartoum, told Reuters. Violence is reported to have been particularly bad in El Geneina, a city in Darfur in western Sudan, where the RSF and militias linked to the group are reported to have looted and torched markets, aid warehouses and banks. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65426892

Introduction and specs Although rugged phones are out of fashion these days, a few smartphone makers are still catering to this niche market segment, Blackview being one of them. Today's smartphones are sexy, functional and offer a set of features that would be unthinkable five or ten years ago. However, they are easy to break, and people in certain occupations may require a device that's more resilient than your average glass slab. So if you spend a lot of time outdoors, in nature, or you are in construction, for example, Blackview has you covered. The new BV9200 could be coined as a successor to last year's BV8800, and there are many changes to go through. Most of those are upgrades, so kudos to Blackview. Blackview BV9200 specs at a glance: Body: 174.5x81.8x13.6mm, 310g; Gorilla glass 5 front, metal sides, rubberized back; IP68/IP69K dust/water resistant (up to 1.5m for 30 min), Drop-to-concrete resistance from up to 1.8m, MIL-STD-810H compliant. Display: 6.60" IPS LCD, 120Hz, 1080x2408px resolution, 20.07:9 aspect ratio, 400ppi. Chipset: Mediatek Helio G96 (12 nm): Octa-core (2x2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55); Mali-G52 MC2. Memory: 256GB 8GB RAM; UFS 2.1; microSDXC (dedicated slot). OS/Software: Android 12, Doke-OS 3.1. Rear camera: Wide (main): 50 MP, 1/2.76", 0.64µm, PDAF; Ultra wide angle: 8 MP, 120˚; Depth: 0.3 MP. Front camera: 16 MP, (wide), 1/3", 1.0µm. Video capture: Rear camera: 1440p@30fps, 1080p@30fps; Front camera: 1080p. Battery: 5000mAh; 66W wired, 30W wireless. Connectivity: LTE; Dual SIM; Wi-Fi 5; BT 5.2; NFC; FM radio. Misc: Fingerprint reader (side-mounted); dual speakers. Even though we still find a MediaTek Helio G96 under the hood, the new BV9200 boasts a faster 120Hz display, newer Android, better drop protection, faster charging and adds a couple of useful features such as a microSD card slot, wireless charging, set of stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon and double the storage. And Blackview was able to fit all that into the same starting price as last year's BV8800. In fact, this BV9200 feels a bit more like a normal smartphone. It delivers roughly the same hardware as its "normal" rivals while providing that extra protection. We are quite surprised to see such fast wired and wireless charging in the €300 segment as well as the 8GB/256GB memory configuration by default. Let's see what else lies beneath that hard shell. Unboxing the Blackview BV9200 The device ships in a standard retail box containing all the usual user manuals, a USB-C to USB-C port for charging and data transfer and the corresponding 66W fast-charging brick. There's no case for the phone, but we don't think it's necessary. That's the whole point of the BV9200, after all. Additionally, we are happy to see the charger included this time around, as last year's BV8800 shipped without one. https://www.gsmarena.com/blackview_bv9200-review-2561.php
