Nottinghamshire Police said the driver picked up the suspect from Nottingham Road at 23:30 BST on Tuesday. When the customer continued to change his route, the taxi driver asked how he would be paying, which is when he was handed a counterfeit £20 note, the force added. After questioning the customer and being given further fake notes, the driver took him straight to Radford Road police station. The force said officers also carried out a search of a man's address, where they discovered a "Rambo knife" under his mattress. It added no further counterfeit cash was recovered, but a cannabis cultivation kit was seized from the address. A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of using counterfeit currency and possessing an offensive weapon in a private place.

As the weather turns in the Midwest, morning temperatures are dropping fast, and roads are waking up slippery. This has given me a chance to explore a new side of my 2026 Honda Prelude long-term tester, encouraging me to take the long way home after an early-morning gym or school run. What side is this? Its handling. As I’ve covered in previous blogs about this Prelude, the car has some flaws, most of which come down to packaging and value proposition. I’ll do deeper dives into several of those areas in the future; however, I’ve also elaborated that in other areas, like driving pleasure and performance, the car is an absolute banger.

Elon Musk promised a flying car. And the Tesla Roadster did exactly that. Tesla demonstrated its next-generation Roadster at an event in Waco, Texas, where the electric supercar drove upside down, briefly flew, and accelerated to 60mph in under a second. It was an impressive demonstration of a car that likely will come with some heavy caveats and restrictions if it ever goes into production. The event was less than 30 minutes and felt more like a stunt show than a product reveal. Indeed, there was no mention of price, release date, or other such mundane details. Musk promised the hypercar would go into production in 2028, but after nearly nine years who’s counting. The people were here to see a car fly, and that’s what Tesla gave them.1/5First, the Roadster drove up a very tall, multi-story ramp, using its incredible downforce to cling to the vertical roadway. When it reached the top of the ramp, it flipped around using its cold-gas thrusters to bring it gently back down to earth. The car uses a fan-based suction system, supplied by SpaceX and mounted underneath the vehicle, which is capable of generating up to two Gs of suction force.

A Russian man secretly working for Ukraine's intelligence services has shared videos of surveillance work he says he has done for Kyiv inside Russia. The man, who we are calling Ivan, claims to have played a role in Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bombers and munitions factories on his home soil. He features in a BBC World Service documentary about the shadowy world of Russian saboteurs. Ivan was cautious about how much detail he shared, making it impossible to verify the activities he claims to have carried out.56 minutes ago
