https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/best-cars/top-10-best-family-suvs Dominated by premium offerings, this chart is po[CENSORED]ted by some of the best family cars on the road – vehicles that can cope with the school run as well as tackling wintery conditions, mildly rugged terrain, trips to the tip, towing duties and long-distance motorway cruising. It's a hotly contested and strategically important segment where style, safety and space rank at the top of the agenda for buyers and often room for seven occupants is required. That importance is underestimated by manufacturers at their peril, given that the segment has effectively obliterated the MPV market and is only expected to keep on growing in the future. Despite a lack of variety in the styling and approach taken by many, it's now a fairly diverse segment that has attracted different brands into the fold of SUV making. Many models are now available as tax-friendly plug-in hybrids, too, as manufacturers scramble to grab a bigger slice of the increasingly emissions-conscious fleet market. Here are our favourites. 1. Audi Q5 It's hard to pick faults with such a classy and consummate all-rounder as the Audi Q5, although slightly anodyne handling is what will prevent it from really appealing to keener drivers. This shortcoming hasn’t prevented the Q5 from emulating the sales success of its predecessor, though, which was a car that became the best-seller in its segment in nearly every country in which it was offered. Although a pricey option with a long options list, the Q5 is quiet, practical and desirable, with outstanding driving refinement and material finish. And if you prefer your SUVs with a little more style and less utility, there's now a swoopy-roofed Sportback version as well. The Q5 received a pretty wide-reaching facelift for 2020, with efficiency-boosted mild-hybrid engines going in under the bonnet, some new digital technology going into the cabin and wider a trapezoidal grille going onto the front end. The big-selling 40 TDI diesel version got a 14bhp power boost as part of that revision, and it remains a refined, comfortable, assertive-performing and easy-driving family car. The 50 TFSIe plug-in hybrid is a particularly smooth operator, with its electric motor and 2.0-litre turbo petrol four-pot combining to produce just shy of 300bhp, while the 55 TFSIe ups that to pretty close to 400. Electric-only range and CO2 emissions have come down for both versions of the car, making them more competitive offerings on benefit-in-kind tax than they used to be.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61344609 Voting has closed in the Philippines after millions queued across the islands to choose their next president. The man tipped to win the presidency is Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr, the son of the nation's former dictator. Opinion polls have suggested he may see a landslide victory, meaning the Marcos clan ousted by a people's revolt 36 years ago could reclaim power. His main rival is Leni Robredo, a liberal who narrowly beat Mr Marcos in the 2016 vice-presidential race. But pollsters this campaign have consistently shown the Marcos heir ahead with a commanding 30-percentage-point lead. Polls closed at 19:00 local time (11:00 GMT), and counting was due to start immediately - although voting may be extended in some places to account for Covid restrictions and if voters are still waiting in line. A high turnout was expected of the nation's eligible 67.5 million voters - with many lining up pre-dawn on Monday to cast their votes at polling booths at schools and community centres. Filipinos are not only voting on the president but also the vice-president, senators, lower house legislators and thousands of lower-ranking officials across the whole archipelago's 7,600 islands. It may start to become clear in a few hours which candidates are pulling ahead. However, the process could also take days before a winner is announced, as was the case in 2016. There have been reports of ballot issues, with some voters at a school in Manila telling the BBC they were having trouble feeding their papers into the counting machines. Others reported that they were told to leave their votes with booth officials. Comelec Commissioner George Garcia had earlier told the BBC "there will always be allegations of irregularities" but there were no significant breaches so far. He also said reports of violence were "minimal" and that "the police are in full control of the situation". Epifanio Delos Santos Elementary School in Malate, Manila.

Mr Duterte's government has been condemned for its brutality in cracking down on drugs and crime, though the administration has always rejected allegations of wrongdoing. Critics also say democratic institutions have come under attack in his presidency, pointing to the shutdown of Philippines' broadcaster ABS-CBN, a channel which - like some other independent media outlets - has angered Mr Duterte in the past.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61381536 Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned amid mass protests at the government's handling of the economic crisis, officials say. The move came as the island was placed under curfew after violent clashes between Rajapksa supporters and anti-government protesters in Colombo. At least 78 people have been injured in the violence in the capital, a local hospital says. There have been protests over soaring prices and power cuts since last month. The island nation is facing its worst economic crisis since gaining independence from Britain in 1948. The government has requested emergency financial help. Mr Rajapaksa, 76, sent his resignation letter to his younger brother President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, saying he hoped it would help resolve the crisis, but the move is highly unlikely to satisfy government opponents while the latter remains in power. Since demonstrations erupted in early April, protesters have been camped outside President Rajapaksa's office, demanding he quit. Earlier in the day police were deployed following violence outside the prime minister and president's offices in Colombo. Police fired tear gas and water cannon at government supporters after they breached police lines and attacked people using sticks and poles. People are furious because the cost of living has become unaffordable. Sri Lanka's foreign currency reserves have virtually run dry, and it can no longer afford essential items including food, medicines and fuel. The government blames the Covid pandemic, which all but killed off Sri Lanka's tourist trade - one of its biggest foreign currency earners. But many experts say economic mismanagement is to blame. The prime minister's letter said his resignation was intended to clear the way for an "all-party government to guide the country out of the current economic crisis", AFP news agency reports. Opposition parties have so far refused to do so and have also called on the president to quit. Mahinda Rajapaksa's resignation marks an ignominious change in fortune for a man who for years was simply Sri Lanka's most powerful man. His decade as president saw him oversee the defeat of the Tamil Tiger rebels in 2009, but he was dogged by allegations of serious human rights abuses, as well as claims - which he strenuously denies - that he was corrupt while in power. He was denied a third term as president in 2015. But less than five years later he was back - although this time as prime minister, serving as the right-hand man of younger brother Gotabaya. The allegations of corruption have added fuel to the current protests - many people believe Mahinda Rajapaksa paved the way for his family to plunder the country's wealth for their own financial gain. Billboards and chants demanding the family return the country's "stolen money" are a common sight at the protests across Sri Lanka.

auto The upcoming Pagani C10 hypercar, which is set to replace the decade-old Huayra, has been spied testing on the road for the first time. Its design - although heavily camouflaged - seems to show a number of elements that also appeared in an alleged leaked rendering of the C10 in January. The styling blends various elements of previous Pagani designs. The wide front grille and swooping bodywork hark back to the Huayra, while the teardrop cabin shape is reminiscent of the older Zonda. The angular front bonnet in particular evokes the styling of some of the earliest Pagani models, such as the C12 S. The two small rear wings revealed in the leaked rendering - also a homage to the early Pagani Zondas - appear to be covered over, with exit holes of the would-be wing cut into the rear camouflage and painted bodywork visible within. Pagani’s signature centrally mounted four-exit exhaust - which has appeared on every model the firm has ever made - also features. This confirms our suspicions that the car will be powered by an internal combustion engine. This test mule appears to stray away from Pagani’s traditional vertically split headlights with Perspex cover - a style that the company has used before on unique Zondas, such as the JC and LM one-offs - but these are most likely simply camouflage features, because the leaked rendering showed the car with separated lights. Small winglets in the front grille ahead of the huge radiators look to be possible aerodynamic aids, while subtle yet sizeable air intakes on the roof and across the rear buttresses will draw air into the engine bay. These spy photographs have also given us our first look at the rear of the car. The overall design appears to be similar to the Huayra, although it features a pair of stacked rear lights that are more reminiscent of the Zonda F's. The firm also seems to have dropped the Huayra’s gullwing doors. A barely visible shutline behind the window suggests that the C10’s doors will use regular hinges. The skylights depicted in the rendering can be seen on the roof through the camoflauge, albeit very faintly.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-61343355 Labour has gained several councils from the Conservatives, with Tories suffering losses across England in local election results so far. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said his party was "back on track" to succeed at the next general election. Boris Johnson conceded the Tories had had a "tough" time in some areas - but argued results had been mixed overall. The BBC projects Labour would take 35% of votes and the Tories 30%, had all parts of Britain gone to the polls. The findings - based on the results declared so far from areas which voted on Thursday - put the Liberal Democrats on 19% and other parties on 16%. Live: Results and reaction as they happen English results in full With around two-thirds of the local election counts for England completed, the Tories are on track to lose about 250 council seats in total, according to polling expert Sir John Curtice. But analysis of key wards suggests Labour's overall support is down by 0.3 percentage points since 2018, when most of the seats up for grabs this time were last contested. The Liberal Democrats have enjoyed good results, gaining councillors and putting in an improved performance in some Tory heartlands. Results so far include: The Conservatives losing control of 10 councils, including Southampton and the London boroughs of Wandsworth, Westminster and Barnet going to Labour The Liberal Democrats taking Hull City Council from Labour In a referendum, voters choosing to ditch Bristol's mayoral system and change the way the city council is run The Tories losing more than 200 councillors in England, with Labour up by more than 40 and the Lib Dems up by more than 100 The full English results - as well as those for councils in Scotland and Wales and for the Northern Ireland Assembly - will be announced later on Friday and on Saturday. Media caption, Boris Johnson: Tough night for Tories in some places Ahead of the elections, the Conservatives had been braced for big losses in England, as they faced attacks over the rising cost of living and the ongoing Partygate scandal, including the prime minister's fine for breaking lockdown rules. Speaking on a visit to Ruislip, north-west London, Mr Johnson said: "It is mid-term. It's certainly a mixed set of results. "We had a tough night in some parts of the country, but on the other hand, in other parts of the country you are still seeing Conservatives going forward and making quite remarkable gains in places that haven't voted Conservative for a long time, if ever." He added that he took personal responsibility for the results, which showed the need for his party to renew its focus on helping people with rising living costs. Although Conservative losses are not as bad as some in the party had warned, there was still criticism of Mr Johnson from his own side. The Conservative leader of Carlisle City Council, John Mallinson, said the prime minister "bears a lot of the responsibility" for the results and was a "poor option" to lead the party into the next general election. Ravi Govindia, leader of the Wandsworth Conservatives, said: "Let's not be coy about it. Of course national issues were part of the dilemma people were facing." And Conservative MP David Simmonds said Mr Johnson had "difficult questions" to answer, adding: "Overwhelmingly the message that I heard on the doorsteps was people were broadly positive about the government's policies, but they are not happy about what they have been hearing about Partygate." Presentational grey line Analysis box by Laura Kuenssberg, political editor The signs are not of a Conservative rout, even after more than a decade in government, even after the prime minister was fined for lockdown rule-breaking. So far, this is not a set of results likely to push privately disgruntled Tory MPs to air their grievances in public, or try to move against Boris Johnson. Yet it is an important staging post for Labour, on course to take the biggest national share of the vote in an election since 2016. The party has been able to take steps forward with some gains in important pockets of the country, not just piling up votes in London. But the margin is likely to be narrow, not convincing enough for the opposition to be confident they are set for No 10.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61212659 His father was a ruthless dictator. His mother gained international notoriety for her massive collection of shoes. So how is 64-year-old Ferdinand Marcos Jr, more commonly known by his nickname Bongbong, the frontrunner to be the next president of the Philippines when the country votes on 9 May? The answer lies in an intriguing web made up of dynastic politics, loyalties going back generations and social media mani[CENSORED]tion. A golden crown and a white stallion In the Marcos stronghold of llocos Norte sits an impressive colonial Spanish-era style building - the Malacañang of the North. The original Malacañang palace - the official home to the Philippines' president, sits hundreds of miles away in the capital Manila - but this particular building was gifted to the family by the Philippine Tourism Authority when Ferdinand Marcos ruled the country in the 1960s. Now open to the public, it is a shrine to his family. Supporters take selfies next to regal portraits of Ferdinand and his wife Imelda Marcos and explore the rooms they once lived in. Inside Bongbong's childhood room, hanging next to an ornate four-poster bed, is an extraordinary portrait of the would-be-leader. Bongbong, wearing a golden crown, rides on a white stallion through the clouds. In one hand he carries the Philippine flag, in the other a bible. A psalm reference in the corner of the painting helps decode the imagery - Apo 21:1 a revelation that describes an angel flying over the holy, walled city of Jerusalem. Deposed in a people's power revolution in 1986, the Marcos family became globally synonymous with corruption. Independent reporting and court documents offer irrefutable proof of the massive excesses and human rights abuses during their rule. When revolutionaries stormed the Presidential palace, they found fantastical oil portraits of the family, a jacuzzi with gold-plated fixtures, 15 mink coats, 508 couture gowns, and most memorably - more than 3,000 pairs of Mrs Marcos' designer shoes. But now, Bongbong is the frontrunner to be the country's next president - and as his campaign gathers steam, his supporters have been casting doubt on these facts. The controversial candidates for Philippines president His opponents say this is because social media has been used to sow disinformation and whitewash history, an allegation the Marcos family deny. But for years, Facebook has been awash with propaganda posts and anonymous accounts defending the Marcos family legacy. This mani[CENSORED]tion of the past has been so widespread that people parrot misinformation with absolute conviction. The common theme is that Marcos's tyrannical rule was actually a "golden period" for the country - despite the inconvenient truth that the economy was on the brink, heavily in debt to foreign banks. Loyalty and legacy Jesus Bautista, 71, from the capital Manila is a staunch Bongbong supporter. Mr Bautista used to scavenge at a mountain of rubbish called "Smokey Mountain" - after the time combustible materials in the waste would catch fire, and billow smoke. In 1983 he was offered a full-time job and pension with the city's traffic enforcers.
