Listen to this article The nine-time world champion had rejoined M-Sport for the famous WRC event, 20 years on from his Safari Rally debut in 2002, to make his third start of the 2022 WRC campaign. After ending Thursday’s opening stage in fifth, Loeb started Friday by winning Stage 2 and went on to complete the morning loop of challenging gravel stages in fifth overall, 15.9s adrift of rally leader Elfyn Evans . However, once the 48-year-old completed Stage 4 the engine on his hybrid Rally1 Ford Puma cut out, before a small fire broke out in the engine bay that co-driver Isabelle Galmiche promptly extinguished. With the engine out of action, Loeb engaged electric power to navigate the road section back to the service park, but ran out of battery power and was forced to pull over five kilometres shy of service. Loeb said there was no warning of the engine issue before it struck. “We were going normally, we went to the stop control and the engine stopped,” Loeb told … [Read more...] about Loeb explains battery problem that caused WRC Safari Rally exit

Court grants bail to cosplay blackmailer
Suspect Piyabutr Urai-ngam, 27, is arrested on suspicion of blackmailing girls through use of their nude photos, at his house in Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani province, on Thursday morning. (Photo supplied) A man alleged to be involved in the suicide of a minor after having blackmailed her into sending explicit images of herself was released by the Criminal Court Saturday on 50,000-baht bail. Police from the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD) took Piyabutr Urai-ngam, 27, to the court to seek approval for the first round of his detention. Bail was opposed by authorities who reasoned that the case carried a severe penalty, and the suspect poses a flight risk. The suspect, who worked as a call centre operator at a communications firm, was arrested at a house in tambon Khu Khot of Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani province, on Thursday morning. He has been charged with possession of child pornography for sexual and commercial purposes. Despite police opposition, the … [Read more...] about Court grants bail to cosplay blackmailer
‘A tragedy’: Missouri’s last abortion clinic draws protesters decrying ban
Protestors in Missouri gather at the state's last abortion clinic to decry a new ban on the procedure ST. LOUIS - Standing outside what had been the last remaining abortion clinic in Missouri on Friday, Pamela Lukehart choked back tears as she recalled how things were before the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision enshrining a woman's right to the procedure. "Women died getting abortions back then," the 68-year-old told AFP, her voice breaking as she stood alongside scores of other protesters. "We were trying to protect women's rights, women's lives, and now they've taken all that away from us." The conservative-dominated Supreme Court on Friday overturned its monumental decision in Roe v. Wade, putting an end to the federal right to abortions it established nearly 50 years ago. The seismic ruling immediately triggered a wave of right-leaning states to impose new bans on the procedure -- with Missouri being the first. Less than two hours after the court's decision, the … [Read more...] about ‘A tragedy’: Missouri’s last abortion clinic draws protesters decrying ban
Russia will soon exhaust its combat capabilities, Western assessments predict
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 The Russian military will soon exhaust its combat capabilities and be forced to bring its offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region to a grinding halt, according to Western intelligence predictions and military experts. "There will come a time when the tiny advances Russia is making become unsustainable in light of the costs and they will need a significant pause to regenerate capability," said a senior Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue. The assessments come despite continued Russian advances against outgunned Ukrainian forces, including the capture on Friday of the town of Severodonetsk, the biggest urban center taken by Russia in the east since launching the latest Donbas offensive nearly three months ago. The Russians are now closing in on the adjacent city of Lysychank, on the opposite bank of the Donetsk river. The town's … [Read more...] about Russia will soon exhaust its combat capabilities, Western assessments predict

(Photo: Bloomberg) Pipe down for a second Elon, the hottest things in the auto industry — the most electric electrics — now come from Hyundai Motor Co. Earlier this year, the South Korean carmaker rolled out two new battery-powered cars — the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and its sibling, the Kia EV6 — which promptly tore up the sales charts, passing the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt and every other electric vehicle on the market not made by Tesla. In the United States this year through May, Hyundai sold 21,467 of these two machines, besting even the white-hot Ford Mustang Mach-E, which was snapped up by 15,718 drivers. “From an EV perspective, they’re really just kind of cleaning the floor,” said Edmunds analyst Joseph Yoon. “I honestly don’t know if any dealers around me have any in stock.” Tesla still sells far more cars, but it … [Read more...] about Sorry Elon Musk.
