Bernie Sanders Says, ‘Trump Just Announced He’s Reduced Drug Prices By 85%,’ Dares You To Go To The Pharmacy And ‘Tell Them Trump Sent You’ Bernie Sanders Says, ‘Trump Just Announced He’s Reduced Drug Prices By 85%,’ Dares You To Go To The Pharmacy And ‘Tell Them Trump Sent You’ Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) took a jab at President Donald Trump on social media, mocking a recent claim and executive order Trump made about slashing drug prices. “Good news: Donald Trump, who never lies, just announced he alone has reduced drug prices by 85%,” Sanders posted on X on May 20. “Quick. Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you.” He also added, “If that doesn’t work, tell him to support the bill I’m introducing that’ll do it.” Don’t Miss: Sanders’ post came days after Trump signed an executive order on May 12 aimed at lowering prescription drug costs for Americans. The order focuses on ensuring Americans pay the same or less than other wealthy nations by pressuring pharmaceutical companies to offer “Most-Favored-Nation” pricing—the lowest price they offer to any developed country. According to a White House fact sheet, the order allows Americans to buy drugs directly from manufacturers, bypassing middlemen. If companies don’t cooperate, the Department of Health and Human Services is instructed to take aggressive regulatory steps. “Our citizens pay massively higher prices than other nations for the same exact pill,” Trump said. “We would spend tremendous amounts of money in order to provide inexpensive drugs to another country.” Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share. Backing up both arguments is a February 2024 Rand Corp. study that found U.S. drug prices are on average 2.78 times higher than in 33 other developed nations. For brand-name drugs, the gap is even wider—4.22 times higher. The Rand report also revealed that in 2022, the U.S. accounted for 62% of global drug sales, despite making up just 24% of total prescription volume. Meanwhile, generics in the U.S. cost less than abroad, averaging about 67% of international prices.

The Trump administration argues Americans are subsidizing both Big Pharma and foreign health systems, while Sanders wants broader government action to force lower prices through legislation. Story Continues During a briefing on the Make America Healthy Again Commission’s report on children’s health, Trump criticized other countries for negotiating harder on prices, calling their representatives “a lot more vicious than us,” and argued that the U.S. has been footing the bill for lower drug prices overseas for years. “We are going to now get a reduction in drug costs of up to 89% in some cases, but 50% would be a low, a bad number,” Trump said. “It’s going to be massive numbers. It’s going to be incredible for Medicaid, incredible for all forms of health care. Medicare is going to be; it’s going to have a huge impact, so big that nobody can calculate it.” Read Next: Image: Shutterstock Up Next: Transform your trading with Benzinga Edge’s one-of-a-kind market trade ideas and tools.

Odin: Valhalla Rising to debut major new guild dungeon update Odin: Valhalla Rising to debut major new guild dungeon update Odin: Valhalla Rising’s first major post-launch update is coming It features a new boss dungeon available only to guild members Guild Raids are also being introduced alongside a new roadmap Odin: Valhalla Rising’s global release has proven to be quite popular amongst players, already accruing over 20 million downloads in the process. But an upcoming update could light a real fire under this success, with the introduction of a brand new, guild-specific boss dungeon this week to challenge even the most skilled of players! The new dungeon will challenge you to survive 10 stages in a row. As you might expect, this isn’t open to just anyone, and only members of level four guilds can take on this quest. And judging by the release trailer linked below, it’ll be a doozy even for the most skilled warriors. But it’s not just a single boss dungeon! This update also introduces Guild Raid mechanics to improve the co-op experience for members, and the unveiling of an official roadmap that lays out what fans can expect going into summer, with even more dungeons and themed cosmetics on the horizon. Bossed The decision to introduce a boss dungeon focusing on guild battles is a very smart one. One of the challenges faced by MMORPGs such as Odin: Valhalla Rising is that of keeping players invested long-term. So, Guild Raids are only a natural progression of that. The roadmap also offers fans a chance to find out what’s coming up in future updates, which’ll also keep them invested. I, for one, think that future dungeons, especially those that are guild-specific (or for normal adventurers, or both), are an extremely smart inclusion on the roadmap, as dedicated players have likely already cleared everything available. But, if you do need a break from Odin: Valhalla Rising, why not check out our list of the top 25 best RPGs for iOS and Android, featuring everything from flightful fantasy to grimdark gruesomeness that’ll challenge the most veteran of players.

Ladder-leading Magpies revel in the AFL season grind Ladder-leading Magpies revel in the AFL season grind Wins like Collingwood’s scrap-fest for three quarters last Saturday night are the gravel that goes into the foundation of a successful AFL season. Scott Pendlebury and Bobby HIll were late outs, Brayden Maynard went down in the first term, Brody Mihocek was hurt in the second quarter and had to briefly leave the field and North Melbourne led by nine points at halftime. Then the ladder-leading Magpies kicked a wasteful 3.8 in the third quarter, with Mihocek one of the main offenders, and they’d left the door open for North. The Pies, led superbly by Nick Daicos, slammed the door shut in the final term for a 45-point win that further fuels their self-belief ahead of Friday night’s MCG blockbuster against Hawthorn. “Just the belief in this side, that we can get the job done no matter what and no matter the personnel,” Mihocek told AAP. “And banking wins like that – it’s always going to be tough and everyone wants to play their best against us. “We know Hawthorn are going to want to do that as well, but we back in our system, we should have our players back, and back at the ‘G which we all love.” Hill and Pendlebury are among several key Collingwood players who will return for Hawthorn, who badly need a win after two losses. The Hawks are in the midst of a telling stretch of games against fellow top-four contenders and the Magpies will be a big test of their ambitions. Mihocek allayed any concerns about his fitness for Friday night after his mid-game mishap against the Kangaroos. “The docs had to take me downstairs, which I didn’t really want. My whole right leg hit the ground pretty hard, I went for a numb for a bit,” he said. “I know myself once I get going, I’m generally pretty good. I’m definitely sore, but I get through.” Hawthorn had played earlier on Saturday and Mihocek was asked whether he had scouted them on TV. It turns out, Mihocek belongs to the school of too much footy being too much. “I just had a day where I was offline, pretty much. I was out in the garden, sanding back a few things,” he said. “It’s good to not just focus on other footy. It’s good to focus on us and what we’re doing, what we’re bringing. “Definitely mentally, it keeps you sane as well.” Source link #Ladderleading #Magpies #revel #AFL #season #grind Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Woman in coma after violent break-in at California home of Beanie Babies billionaire, officials say Woman in coma after violent break-in at California home of Beanie Babies billionaire, officials say MONTECITO, Calif. (AP) — A 42-year-old Nevada man was arrested on suspicion of attempted ******* and kidnapping after a woman was violently attacked during a break-in last week at a Southern California mansion owned by the Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner, according to authorities and court documents. The victim, named in a criminal complaint as L. Malek-Aslanian, was in a coma after suffering a brain injury during the attack May 21 at the home in coastal Montecito, northwest of Los Angeles. Warner, founder of the company that makes the stuffed toys that became a fad in the 1990s, was home at the time, but not hurt, according to the complaint obtained by the Los Angeles Times. His relationship with the victim wasn’t immediately clear. Russell Maxwell Phay was arrested after a standoff with deputies during which he locked himself inside a bathroom before jumping from a second-floor window, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The resident of Henderson, Nevada, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including attempted *******, kidnapping, assault and burglary. A lawyer for Phay couldn’t be located and the public defender’s office didn’t immediately reply to an email asking whether one of its attorneys is representing him. Prosecutors said Phay had numerous prior convictions and had served time in prison or jail, but the details of his criminal history weren’t immediately available, the Times said. He was being held on $100,000 bail. Officials did not identify a possible motive or say whether the suspect knew the victim. The investigation is ongoing. A message was sent Wednesday to the Santa Barbara County district attorney’s office seeking an update on the victim’s condition.

Federal court blocks Trump’s tariffs. Here’s what to know Federal court blocks Trump’s tariffs. Here’s what to know WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court in New York handed President Donald Trump a big setback Wednesday, blocking his audacious plan to impose massive taxes on imports from almost every country in the world. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national emergency and justify the sweeping tariffs. The tariffs overturned decades of U.S. trade policy, disrupted global commerce, rattled financial markets and raised the risk of higher prices and recession in the United States and around the world. The U.S. Court of International Trade has jurisdiction over civil cases involving trade. Its decisions can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington and ultimately to the Supreme Court, where the legal challenges to Trump’ tariffs are widely expected to end up. Which tariffs did the court block? The court’s decision blocks the tariffs Trump slapped last month on almost all U.S. trading partners and levies he imposed before that on China, Mexico and Canada. On April 2, Trump imposed so-called reciprocal tariffs of up to 50% on countries with which the United States runs a trade deficit and 10% baseline tariffs on almost everybody else. He later suspended the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days to give countries time to agree to reduce barriers to U.S. exports. But he kept the baseline tariffs in place. Claiming extraordinary power to act without congressional approval, he justified the taxes under IEEPA by declaring the United States’ longstanding trade deficits “a national emergency.” In February, he’d invoked the law to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, saying that the ******** flow of immigrants and drugs across the U.S. border amounted to a national emergency and that the three countries needed to do more to stop it. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to set taxes, including tariffs. But lawmakers have gradually let presidents assume more power over tariffs — and Trump has made the most of it. The tariffs are being challenged in at least seven lawsuits. In the ruling Wednesday, the trade court combined two of the cases — one brought by five small businesses and another by 12 U.S. states. The ruling does leave in place other Trump tariffs, including those on foreign steel, aluminum and autos. But those levies were invoked under a different law that required a Commerce Department investigation and could not be imposed at the president’s own discretion. Why did the court rule against the president? The administration had argued that courts had approved then-President Richard Nixon’s emergency use of tariffs in a 1971 economic and financial crisis that arose when the United States suddenly devalued the dollar by ending a policy that linked the U.S. currency to the price of gold. The Nixon administration successfully cited its authority under the 1917 Trading With Enemy Act, which preceded and supplied some of the legal language later used in IEPPA. The court disagreed, deciding that Trump’s sweeping tariffs exceeded his authority to regulate imports under IEEPA. It also said the tariffs did nothing to deal with problems they were supposed to address. In their case, the states noted that America’s trade deficits hardly amount of a sudden emergency. The United States has racked them up for 49 straight years in good times and bad. So where does this leave Trump’s trade agenda? Wendy Cutler, a former U.S. trade official who is now vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute, says the court’s decision “throws the president’s trade policy into turmoil.” “Partners negotiating hard during the 90-day day tariff pause ******* may be tempted to hold off making further concessions to the U.S. until there is more legal clarity,” she said. Likewise, companies will have to reassess the way they run their supply chains, perhaps speeding up shipments to the United States to offset the risk that the tariffs will be reinstated on appeal. The trade court noted that Trump retains more limited power to impose tariffs to address trade deficits under another statute, the Trade Act of 1974. But that law restricts tariffs to 15% and only for 150 days with countries with which the United States runs big trade deficits. For now, the trade court’s ruling “destroys the Trump administration’s rationale for using federal emergency powers to impose tariffs, which oversteps congressional authority and contravenes any notion of due process,” said Eswar Prasad, professor of trade policy at Cornell University. “The ruling makes it clear that the broad tariffs imposed unilaterally by Trump represent an overreach of executive power.” _____ AP Writer Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this story.

Trade Minister Don Farrell says government ‘closely studying’ US court’s tariff ruling Trade Minister Don Farrell says government ‘closely studying’ US court’s tariff ruling Australia’s Trade Minister Don Farrell has given a cautious response to a US court decision to block sweeping US tariffs that upended the global trade system, pledging to continue to resist a 10 per cent duty on *********** exports. “We will study this ruling of the US Federal Courts on reciprocal tariffs closely and note that they may be subject to further legal processes through the courts,” said Senator Farrell on Thursday. His comments came just hours after the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority by imposing sweeping duties on imports from nations that sell more to the US than they buy, which would include Australia’s trade surplus with its biggest ally. Mr Trump’s announcement on a sweeping base line 10 per cent levy on *********** exports to the United States overshadowed the first week of the Federal election campaign and was denounced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as “not the act of a friend”. Mr Trump cited “trade barriers” such as Australia’s biosecurity laws — singling out the prohibition of imported American beef — as the reason for what he called a “reciprocal tariff”. But the Government has repeatedly argued that the US has enjoyed a trade surplus with Australia since the Truman Administration, in the years immediately following World War II. “President Trump referred to reciprocal tariffs. A reciprocal tariff would be zero, not 10 per cent,” Mr Albanese said immediately after the shock White House decision. On Thursday, Senator Farrell, who is leading efforts to lift the tax on *********** goods, re-upped the “consistent” Government position that “these tariffs on *********** imports into the US are unjustified.” “We will continue to engage and strongly advocate for the removal of tariffs,” he said. “The Albanese Government will always stand up for Australia’s national interests, including *********** jobs and *********** industries.” The US court rejected the White House argument it can rely on presidential emergency powers to safeguard the economy, citing the constitutional provision that gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries. “The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the President’s use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it,” a three-judge panel said in the decision. The Trump administration minutes later filed a notice of appeal. In a statement, the White House said it is “not for unelected judges to decide how to properly address a national emergency”. Top Trump adviser and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller reposted the judgement on X with the comment, “the judicial coup is out of control”. But it is the latest setback in the Trump administration’s much-criticised “America First” trade agenda that created shockwaves around the world in April and has since faced multiple legal challenges over the economic fallout. Although Australia, which sends less than 5 per cent of its exports to the US, would not face a severe direct impact, economists have warned the economy would have to weather the consequences of the wider global and regional damage of the tariff overhaul. Wednesday’s ruling came in a pair of lawsuits, one filed by the nonpartisan Liberty Justice Centre on behalf of five small US businesses that import goods from countries targeted by the duties and the other by 13 US states. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, a Democrat whose office is leading the states’ lawsuit, said the ruling “reaffirms that our laws matter, and that trade decisions can’t be made on the president’s whim.” At least five other legal challenges to the tariffs are pending.

Muscle Shoals woman paralyzed after tree falls on her car during storms Muscle Shoals woman paralyzed after tree falls on her car during storms MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. (WHNT) — A woman is paralyzed from the chest down after a tree fell on her car during severe storms that rolled through the Shoals on May 20. For 28-year-old Angel Gatrey, the day that changed her life started out just like any other day. She was driving her brother and son to an appointment when the storms struck. From Mess to Ministry: Huntsville barber gives haircuts and a little hope in hard times “By the time we were finished with their doctor’s appointments, it started to rain and we kind of got caught up in it,” Gatrey said. Severe storms hit the Shoals area that afternoon, hard and fast. “The storms just let out immediately, it went from 0-100 quick, it started with extreme rain, I could barely see, and I started to slow down,” Gatrey said. Gatrey was driving down Reservation Road in Muscle Shoals when a large tree fell and landed on her car. “It just seemed like it fell out of the sky, it came from the other side of the road, so I didn’t see any trees shifting or anything like that, all I seen was the rain, and next thing I know, a huge tree landed on us,” Gatrey said. Download the WHNT News 19 App to stay updated on the go. Sign up for WHNT News 19 newsletters to have news sent to your inbox. Gatrey’s car was crushed in half. Her brother and son were safe, but she was pinned under the weight of the tree, entrapped and pinned inside. “It was like the tree folded my car into the back of my head, so I was folded forward, and that’s why I couldn’t talk, so the tree wasn’t on my body,” Gatrey said. After being taken to an area hospital, where they realized how badly she was hurt, Gatrey was taken to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. She underwent spinal cord surgery immediately to try and see what they could. “I have a class A spinal cord injury, so I’m not able to feel from my chest down, and my hands are still coming back into functioning,” Gatrey said. She says it was by the grace of God that she’s alive. “I’m so grateful to be alive, and I am excited and curious to see how god works through this situation because it felt like a freak accident, but I know God is sufficient in all circumstances,” she said. Gatrey tells News 19, she will be in the hospital for at least another week. She says after she gets out, she plans to start rehab as soon as doctors let her. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Longtime fast-food chain closes all Kansas City area locations Longtime fast-food chain closes all Kansas City area locations A few months after closing multiple KC area locations, Jack in the Box appears to have exited the area completely. Its last remaining stores — 9101 Johnson Drive in Mission, 10137 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park and 10630 Parallel Parkway in Kansas City, Kansas — have all closed. The company’s website still lists a location as “coming soon” at 740 NW Shoal Creek Parkway. Jack in the Box did not respond to The Star’s request for comment Tuesday to say whether or not that location would open. Signs on the doors and windows of the Mission restaurant read: “Thank you, Kansas City, for your support over the years. We’ve truly appreciated being part of the community.” The California-based chain has experienced financial hardship in the past few months. In April, after the KC area locations closed, the company announced that it would close 150-200 under-performing stores in an effort to save the brand. The company called the initiative the “JACK on Track” plan, saying it seeks to run an “asset-light business model.” In the company statement, Jack in the Box said it was “exploring strategic alternatives” for Del Taco, a fast-food brand it acquired in 2022. Del Taco has shuttered more than a dozen locations across Colorado.

Perth Wildcats owner Mark Arena responds to Bryce Cotton bombshell that NBL club parted ways with him Perth Wildcats owner Mark Arena responds to Bryce Cotton bombshell that NBL club parted ways with him Bryce Cotton dropped a bombshell when he claimed the Perth Wildcats parted ways with him. Now, the club’s owner Mark Arena has responded. Cotton revealed the Wildcats ultimately made the call after he refused to make a quick decision about his contract offer at the end of the season. The Five-time NBL MVP has since signed with the Adelaide 36s in a move that shocked the sport. “As much as people say why did I leave the Wildcats, I didn’t technically leave,” Cotton said on The EasyDay Show podcast. “The Wildcats parted ways with me because I wasn’t willing to give an answer back in March.” Cotton said he had told the club he wanted to explore his free agency options when the Wildcats sent his manager a rough draft of an announcement that he was leaving. Instead, he took matters into his own hands. “When I saw that, I’m like ‘No. I’m not going to let you put the word out to the fans. I’ll let them hear it from me first because if that’s what you decided to do, everything I’ve given to this city, everything I’ve given to the club, I’ll tell you first I’m not going to be here. “But they made the business decision to part ways because they didn’t want to wait, which is fine. But I don’t want to hear all this ********* and complaining when I’m doing what I feel is best for me as a result.” After the bombshell revelations, Arena told the NBL XXXX Source link #Perth #Wildcats #owner #Mark #Arena #responds #Bryce #Cotton #bombshell #NBL #club #parted #ways Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Royals’ affiliate buys Overland Park Aspiria campus’ mortgage Royals’ affiliate buys Overland Park Aspiria campus’ mortgage KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals have confirmed with FOX4 that a business affiliated with the team has bought the mortgage of a possible stadium site in Johnson County, Kansas — the old Sprint Campus near 119th and Nall, now known as Aspiria. “The Kansas City Royals continue to explore all options throughout our community to develop a new stadium for the team,” part of a team statement said that FOX4 obtained late Wednesday afternoon. “We have not yet decided on a site, and any assertion to the contrary is inaccurate.” KCK planning commission to consider $12.6B data center near Kansas Speedway “As part of our ongoing efforts, we have negotiated with or made investments in multiple potential sites – both in Missouri and in Kansas,” the statement goes on to say. “One of these investments was the acquisition (by an affiliate of the Royals) of the mortgage on the Aspiria campus through an arms-length ***** process.” Earlier Wednesday, FOX4 talked to three elected leaders on the Missouri side about the upcoming Special Session that Missouri lawmakers will have. One of the main priorities of the special session will be Republican Governor Mike Kehoe’s stadium package that tries to keep both teams in the Show-Me State. Wednesday, Democratic Jackson County Executive Frank White said it was his goal to still keep the Royals and Chiefs in his county. He supported the ‘Vote No’ side of the April 2024 sales tax election for both teams though. White said he could not speak for the state when it comes to something like the special session. “For the county, you know what we’ve done for the teams over all these years,” he said. “Our plan is still to get a deal that makes sense for both Jackson County and both teams, and we hope to keep both teams in Jackson County.” See the latest headlines in Kansas City and across Kansas, Missouri One person who did not support the stadium package during the final week of the legislative session was Republican State Senator Joe Nicola from Grain Valley. Nicola told FOX4 he thinks the teams are important to the county though. “But more importantly, it’s our property taxes, and that’s what I’m fighting for,” Nicola said Wednesday. “We need to have some property tax relief.” Nicola says he wants that relief before he’d support the stadium bill. Property tax relief was not a part of Kehoe’s Tuesday morning news conference though when it comes to what will be discussed during the special session. “But he and I have had discussions,” Nicola said of his conversations with Governor Kehoe. “I’ve discussed it with leadership with the Speaker of the House, and my property tax bill is supposed to be part of the Special Session, so that’s what I’m pushing for and fighting for, and I think we have the consensus in the Senate to get something passed.” Nicola’s bill would give the State Tax Commission authority to withhold up to 50% of all taxes that Jackson County is due if they’re ordered to lower assessments. Missouri Republican Congressman Mark Alford said that a domed stadium would be great for the Chiefs to try to get a Super Bowl.

2025 MG HS Super Hybrid: Long-range PHEV priced from $52,990 drive-away 2025 MG HS Super Hybrid: Long-range PHEV priced from $52,990 drive-away MG Motor Australia has confirmed pricing for its two-variant MG HS Super Hybrid PHEV range, ahead of its arrival in *********** showrooms in September. “Tuned specifically for Australia driving habits,” the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the second-generation MG HS launched in September 2024 will compete with existing plug-in hybrid (PHEV) mid-size SUVs, as well the next-generation Toyota RAV4, the replacement for Australia’s top-selling SUV that will arrive here next year with PHEV power for the first time. MG will also release the conventional MG HS Hybrid+ to compete with the popular RAV4 Hybrid. The front-wheel drive MG HS Super Hybrid will be offered in Excite and Essence trims in Australia – with prices starting from $52,990 drive-away for the former and $55,990 drive-away for the latter. That marks a $16,000 premium over the equivalent HS 1.5T FWD. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Camera IconSupplied Credit: CarExpert For reference, the BYD Sealion 6 starts from $42,990 plus on-road costs (~$45,524 D/A), while the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV currently kicks off from $57,290 plus on-roads (or $57,990 D/A as currently promoted), but will soon be updated. While more expensive than the BYD’s base pricing, the MG Super Hybrid offers a longer electric driving range from its 24.7kWh LFP battery – rated at 135km NEDC, or 120km WLTP. Combined with a full 55-litre fuel tank, MG Australia says owners can expect 1000km or more of combined driving range. The MG HS Super Hybrid runs the same 220kW/350Nm 1.5-litre turbo-petrol PHEV system as the model offered in the *** market, though the ******** brand’s local division has tuned the drivetrain to act more like a conventional hybrid with a big battery, rather than prioritising EV driving like its overseas equivalent. As we detailed in our recent pre-production drive, the MG HS Super Hybrid will default to ‘HEV’ mode, and when its battery is charged it will drive as an EV up to speeds of 80km/h, then as an HEV above that. It will also turn on the petrol engine when maximum acceleration is demanded via a throttle kickdown. Camera IconHS Super Hybrid Excite Credit: CarExpert MG quotes a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.8 seconds, and combined fuel consumption of “under 5.0L/100km in real-world driving conditions” when its useable EV range is depleted. Full pricing and specifications for the *********** range are still to be confirmed ahead of the PHEV’s September launch, though CarExpert understands it will largely be aligned with Excite and Essence versions of the HS 1.5T petrol model – you can read our full price and specs story here. MG Motor Australia has also confirmed the Super Hybrid will be backed by the ******** brand’s 10-year/250,000km new vehicle warranty, and near-100-strong national dealership network. Stay tuned to CarExpert for all the latest.

Elden Ring Nightreign Review – IGN Elden Ring Nightreign Review – IGN When Elden Ring Nightreign is played exactly as it was designed to be played, its one of the finest examples of a three-player co-op game around but that’s harder to do than it should be, and playing solo is poorly balanced.

Trump administration asked Japan to increase share of costs of US troops, Asahi Shimbun says Trump administration asked Japan to increase share of costs of US troops, Asahi Shimbun says TOKYO (Reuters) -The Trump administration asked Japan in early May to increase its share of costs for U.S. troops stationed there, prompting Tokyo to consider boosting facility funding by tens of billions of yen, the Asahi Shimbun reported on Thursday, citing government sources. The current annual average cost borne by Japan for the stationing of U.S. forces is about 211 billion yen ($1.45 billion). The Japanese government has started considering an increase in the budget for the construction of facilities provided to U.S. forces stationed in Japan, such as barracks, family housing, administrative buildings and disaster prevention facilities, the Asahi report said. Asked about the report after meeting with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Japan’s tariff negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said national security and tariff policies are different matters. However, Akazawa said the purchase of defence equipment would contribute to the U.S. trade surplus, so “in that context, (the subject) could be considered to some extent” in the tariff talks. Akazawa is scheduled to visit the U.S. on Thursday for another round of tariff negotiations.
