Lamborghini's CEO reveals the significance of the new hybrid supercar for the iconic brand.
Lamborghini is accelerating its move towards electrification with the launch of the 907-horsepower Temerario, a new hybrid supercar that signifies the brand’s shift towards hybrid technology. The company introduced the Temerario at Monterey, California, during its annual Car Week, highlighting the car's role as the successor to the best-selling Huracán, which saw over 20,000 units sold before production ended this year. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann explained that "Temerario," meaning "courageous" in Spanish, is also the name of a fighting bull from 1875. He emphasized the importance of this model in a competitive market, with hopes that it will surpass the success of the Huracán. The Temerario maintains Lamborghini’s iconic supercar aesthetics with a sharp, wedge-shaped design and minimal body lines, which contribute to a significant improvement in aerodynamics. Inside, the car offers more space and advanced technology, featuring three main displays and wireless connectivity options. The most notable change is the switch from a V10 engine to a hybridized V8, producing over 800 horsepower with the help of three electric motors and a battery. This setup enables the car to achieve 0-62 mph in just 2.7 seconds and a top speed exceeding 213 mph. Additionally, Lamborghini has added a drift mode for controlled oversteering. Lamborghini is yet to announce pricing for the Temerario, which is set to hit the market next year. The previous Huracán models were priced between $250,000 and $350,000.

Politician Convicted for Murder of Journalist Who Criticized Him
A US politician appeared dejected and shook his head after being found guilty of murdering a journalist who had written critical reports about him. Robert Telles, 47, looked down and shook his head as the Clark County jury delivered its verdict. The case, which has raised concerns about press freedom, involved the murder of investigative reporter Jeff German, 69, who was found stabbed to death in September 2022. German had reported on Telles' alleged affair with a staff member and criticized his management style. Telles, who was the county public administrator at the time and a Democrat, had lost his re-election bid a month after the critical reports were published. Prosecutors claimed Telles hid in the bushes near German’s home and waited for him before fatally stabbing him. He was arrested five days later. Clark County Chief Deputy District Attorney Pamela Weckerly emphasized that the case was not about politics or workplace issues but about murder. Telles' lawyer, Robert Draskovich, argued that police had not investigated other potential suspects and noted that Telles had mocked German’s reports online. Draskovich contended that the articles were not a motive for murder, and killing a journalist would not erase a story. Telles, who maintained his innocence, was found guilty of first-degree murder on August 28. He faces life imprisonment either with or without parole, or a term of 20 to 50 years. Following the verdict, Katherine Jacobsen from the Committee to Protect Journalists stated that the verdict sends a strong message against the killing of journalists, stressing the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.

Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the Idaho murders case, make a final attempt to relocate the trial, citing concerns about 'mob mentality.'
Attorneys representing Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022, are continuing their effort to relocate his trial from Latah County, arguing that local sentiment against him resembles a "mob mentality." In a recent court submission, Kohberger’s defense cited alarming statements from Latah County residents, gathered via a defense expert’s survey. These comments suggested potential violence if Kohberger were acquitted, with one resident predicting riots and another threatening to "burn the courthouse down." Kohberger’s lawyers are pushing to move the trial to Boise, 300 miles away, asserting that 70% of local residents have already prejudged Kohberger’s guilt. However, prosecutors argue that media coverage extends well beyond Latah County and that relocating the trial might not resolve the issue. The decision on whether to move the trial will be made by Latah County District Judge John C. Judge on August 27. If the trial is moved, it could delay its start. The trial is currently set for June 2, 2025, following Kohberger's waiver of his right to a speedy trial. The proceedings have faced delays due to various pre-trial motions and the scheduling of hearings. The case has been complicated by issues such as the handling of evidence and the potential use of investigative genetic genealogy. Kohberger, a Ph.D. student from Washington State University, was charged with the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Telegram CEO indicted and placed under supervised release amid allegations of complicity
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov was formally charged by a French judge on Wednesday with being complicit in criminal activities occurring on the messaging app, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office. Durov was released on bail of 5 million euros. He faces accusations of facilitating the distribution of child pornography, illegal transactions, money laundering, organized fraud, and drug trafficking through Telegram. One of the charges could result in a 10-year prison sentence and a €500,000 fine. Prosecutors allege that Durov failed to comply with requests for information or documents related to these criminal activities. He faces six charges and is now under judicial supervision, including restrictions on leaving France and mandatory check-ins at a police station twice a week. The indictment followed his release from police custody after several days of questioning. Durov, who holds dual French and Russian citizenship, was detained at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Saturday, and judges had until Wednesday to decide on charges. The investigation, which started last month, focuses on alleged criminal activity linked to Telegram. Prosecutors highlighted the platform’s poor response to legal orders as a factor prompting the criminal investigation. A preliminary investigation began in February, and a formal judicial inquiry was launched on July 8. Telegram, founded by Durov and his brother Nikolai in 2013, has been implicated in cases related to pedophilia, trafficking, and online hate. The company responded to the arrest by stating that it complies with EU laws and maintains high standards for content moderation. Telegram criticized the notion that the platform or its owner should be held responsible for its misuse, emphasizing its role as a communication tool for nearly a billion users worldwide. The arrest has stirred controversy, particularly in Russia, where concerns about free speech and privacy have been raised. Western governments have long criticized Telegram for its perceived lack of content moderation, which they argue facilitates criminal activity. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Trump Shares Crude Sexual Remark About Harris Amid Truth Social Rant
Former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, recently shared a provocative post that compared Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, to his former political opponent, Hillary Clinton. The post, shared on Wednesday during a flurry of activity on his social media platform Truth Social, included a screenshot from a post on X, featuring an old, blurry image of both female Democrats. The caption read, "Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently," likely referencing Harris's past relationship with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown from the 1980s. In a 2019 op-ed in the 'San Francisco Chronicle', Brown acknowledged that their relationship might have benefited her career but denied receiving any political favors in return. This isn't the first instance of Trump reposting inappropriate content about Harris. Earlier this month, he shared a video parody of Alanis Morissette’s 90s hit "Ironic," with sexualized lyrics targeting Harris. Trump's recent outburst on Truth Social also included numerous reposts of favorable media coverage, including segments from Fox News and several memes created by his supporters. Among these were AI-generated images depicting Harris, Clinton, Barack Obama, and other prominent Democrats in prison, calls for special counsel Jack Smith to be prosecuted for pursuing criminal cases against Trump, and even a post suggesting a "public military tribunal" for Obama over unspecified allegations, and some posts containing references to the QAnon conspiracy theory. This surge of posts coincided with a challenging news cycle for Trump, during which he was accused of showing disrespect at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Trump, who was at the site to mark the anniversary of the 2021 attack in Kabul, Afghanistan that killed 13 American service members, was criticized after being photographed smiling and giving a thumbs-up near a fallen soldier’s grave. Additionally, two of his staff members were reported to have been involved in a verbal and physical altercation with a cemetery official who reminded them of filming restrictions in a particular section. The Trump campaign denied any physical confrontation, although the cemetery confirmed an incident had occurred and a report was filed. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Airport staff recommend avoiding tying ribbons to luggage.
Baggage handlers are advising against using ribbons to make luggage more identifiable. While many travelers use this method to avoid picking up the wrong suitcase, especially during delays or with lost luggage, ribbons can disrupt automated scanning systems. This may lead to manual handling and potential missed flights. It's also recommended to remove old stickers from luggage, as they can confuse scanners. To protect your suitcase, place it wheels-up and avoid packing marzipan, as its density can resemble that of certain explosives and may raise security concerns. If you face problems with your luggage, Citizens Advice highlights that travelers have the right to seek compensation from airlines for delays, loss, or damage. However, claims related to cabin baggage are only valid if the airline is at fault. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
The Supreme Court has declined to reinstate Biden's latest student loan forgiveness plan, for now.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court rejected a request from the Justice Department to reinstate the Biden administration's latest student debt cancellation plan, leaving millions of borrowers in uncertainty as the legal appeals process continues. The Court declined to lift an injunction from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals that had blocked the SAVE plan, a new program introduced in July 2023. This program, which adjusts loan payments based on income, has faced legal challenges from several GOP-led states. The Supreme Court's unsigned order indicated it expects the appeals court to act swiftly, but did not include any dissenting opinions. As a result, the 8th Circuit's injunction remains in effect, and the Education Department has paused loan payments for borrowers under the SAVE plan due to the ongoing legal issues. Last year, the Supreme Court invalidated a previous, broader student loan forgiveness plan proposed by the Biden administration. The SAVE plan is designed to reduce monthly payments to 5% of discretionary income above 225% of the federal poverty line and offers faster forgiveness for smaller loan balances. The program is expected to cost about $156 billion over ten years, though critics argue the actual cost could be $475 billion, considering potential forgiveness from the earlier plan. In April, several states filed lawsuits challenging the SAVE plan, leading to a federal appeals court blocking its implementation nationwide. This decision contrasts with a ruling from a different appeals court that upheld the plan for a group of other states. The Biden administration has criticized the 8th Circuit's ruling and argued that it causes unnecessary confusion and harm to borrowers. The states opposing the plan argue that it exceeds the authority granted under the Higher Education Act by effectively forgiving loans instead of requiring repayment. The Department of Education estimates it has provided $168 billion in relief to over 4.7 million Americans, with about one in ten federal borrowers receiving some form of forgiveness.

Former China Petroleum Corporation Chairman Wang Yilin Arrested
The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) announced on Wednesday that Wang Yilin, the former Chairman of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), has been ordered to be arrested on bribery charges. Wang, who also previously served as the secretary of the CNPC's leading Party members group, will face prosecution after an investigation by the National Commission of Supervision. Additionally, Wang was expelled from the Communist Party of China, as confirmed by an official statement issued in late July. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Travis Kelce buys a share in a horse named "Swift Delivery."
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end and three-time Super Bowl champion, has acquired an ownership stake in a racehorse named Swift Delivery, which has a name reminiscent of his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Team Valor International, a Florida-based horse-racing stable, announced that Kelce is now a significant stakeholder in the 3-year-old gelding. The horse is co-owned by Team Valor, Gary Barber (CEO of Spyglass Entertainment), and the Zoldan family, who own Phantom Fireworks. It's unclear if Kelce, who recently signed a $100 million podcast deal with his brother, intended the horse's name as a tribute to Taylor Swift. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
US Provides 10,000 Monkeypox Vaccine Doses to Nigeria
On Tuesday, August 27, the U.S. government donated 10,000 doses of the Jynneos vaccine to Nigeria to support efforts against monkeypox. The Jynneos vaccine, authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is intended to prevent smallpox and monkeypox in adults aged 18 and over who are at risk. At the official handover in Abuja, Prof. Muhammad Pate, Nigeria’s Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, thanked the U.S. for the donation. Represented by Permanent Secretary Daju Kachollom, Pate highlighted the Federal Government’s dedication to enhancing public health in Nigeria. Pate noted, “This donation reflects a spirit of cooperation that will greatly benefit us. Our policies and collaborations are aimed at ensuring the health of our citizens.” On August 13, 2024, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention declared monkeypox a public health emergency of continental concern. As of last Friday, Nigeria’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported 40 confirmed cases of monkeypox among 830 suspected cases nationwide. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Kelce Brothers Ink $100M Podcast Deal with Amazon
The Kelce brothers have secured a significant deal for their podcast, "New Heights." Jason and Travis Kelce have agreed to a podcast deal with Amazon's Wondery valued at over $100 million. Wondery, an Amazon-owned podcast studio and publisher, announced an exclusive agreement on Tuesday for ad sales and distribution of the podcast. This three-year contract, starting with the 2024-25 NFL season, grants Wondery exclusive rights to all episodes and the authority to license and distribute related merchandise. “We’re thrilled to partner with Wondery for the next chapter of ‘New Heights,’” said Jason and Travis. “We’re passionate about this show and the growing fan base we've built over the past two seasons.

Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother have entered a not guilty plea to charges of organized fraud and grand theft, with the total amount involved being $1 million.
Rapper Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, have both pleaded not guilty to charges of defrauding several businesses of over $1 million. Kingston, whose real name is Kiesan Anderson, and Turner entered their pleas during a court appearance before Judge Ernest Kollra in Broward County. The charges against them include organized fraud and grand theft. Kingston, 34, was arrested in May at Fort Irwin, California, where he was performing, on a warrant from the Broward Sheriff's Office. Turner, 61, was detained the same day after a SWAT team executed a search warrant at Kingston's rented mansion in Southwest Ranches. The pair is accused of defrauding businesses including a jewelry store, a luxury bed retailer, a used exotic car dealership, and a luxury TV company since October 2023. They face additional charges in federal court, with allegations including theft of money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade, and furniture. Kingston, known for his 2007 hit "Beautiful Girls" and his 2010 collaboration with Justin Bieber on "Eenie Meenie," was already on probation for trafficking stolen property at the time of his arrest. Turner had previously served prison time for bank fraud. Both have been sued by various businesses over the years, including a 2015 case in New York for $356,000 and a 2018 case for $301,000. More recently, a Florida company sued Kingston for $120,000 related to an unpaid bill for a large television installation. Kingston, who was born in Miami and later moved to Jamaica, achieved fame in the late 2000s but has seen a decline in his career, with his 2022 album failing to chart. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Trump includes RFK Jr. and Gabbard in his presidential transition team
Former President Trump has appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to his transition team following their endorsements. Senior campaign adviser Brian Hughes highlighted the inclusion of Kennedy and Gabbard in the Trump/Vance Transition team, noting their contributions as Trump seeks to rally support across party lines. Kennedy, who recently endorsed Trump after suspending his independent presidential bid, had hinted at his new role in an interview with Tucker Carlson. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and has been active in conservative media, also endorsed Trump and is assisting in preparations for an upcoming debate. Earlier this month, Trump revealed the leadership of his transition team, which will focus on personnel and policy planning in the event of a victory. The team is led by top Trump donors Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration, and Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, with Sen. JD Vance, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. serving as honorary chairs. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Special counsel issues revised indictment against Donald Trump in January 6 case.
On Tuesday, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a revised indictment in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump, reducing some of the allegations based on the Supreme Court's ruling on immunity. While none of the original four charges were dropped, the updated indictment refines the accusations, including removing claims about Trump's alleged efforts to use the Justice Department to advance false election fraud claims. The new indictment, presented to a different grand jury, reflects the government's attempt to align with the Supreme Court’s decision in 'Trump v. United States'. It clarifies that Trump’s actions related to election subversion do not involve duties constitutionally assigned to the presidency. For example, the indictment revises the charges related to the Electoral College certification process on January 6, 2021, specifically focusing on allegations that Trump unlawfully obstructed the certification.

Mark Zuckerberg claims that in 2021, the Biden administration pressured Meta to censor Covid-related content.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, revealed in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee that his teams faced significant pressure from the Biden administration in 2021 to suppress certain COVID-19 content, including satire. He admitted that this pressure was wrong and that he regretted not being more vocal against it. Zuckerberg stated that decisions made under this pressure in 2021 would not be made today, emphasizing that Meta will resist any future similar pressures. President Biden had previously criticized social media platforms for spreading misinformation during the pandemic. Although Biden later softened his stance, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy had described such misinformation as a serious public health threat. The White House responded to Zuckerberg’s letter, stating that their focus was on encouraging responsible actions to protect public health, while respecting the independence of tech companies. Additionally, Zuckerberg mentioned that the FBI had warned Meta about potential Russian disinformation related to Hunter Biden and Burisma. Consequently, Meta temporarily reduced the visibility of a New York Post story about Biden family corruption, which was later confirmed not to be Russian disinformation. Meta has since revised its policies to avoid similar actions in the future. Zuckerberg also addressed criticisms related to his support for electoral infrastructure during the 2020 election, noting that while intended to be nonpartisan, it was perceived by some as benefiting one party. He stated that he would not make similar contributions in the current election cycle to maintain neutrality. The GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee used Zuckerberg’s letter to argue that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor content and manipulate the Hunter Biden story. Zuckerberg has faced ongoing scrutiny from Republicans, who accuse Facebook of bias against conservatives. Despite his efforts to demonstrate impartiality, the controversy persists. In a recent Supreme Court ruling, plaintiffs accusing the federal government of censoring conservative voices on social media were found to lack standing to sue, as they did not prove a substantial risk of imminent injury from government actions. Meanwhile, the News Literacy Project reported over 500 instances of misinformation during the 2024 election cycle. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Woman Faces Charges After Climbing Zoo Fence to Pet Tiger in Viral Video
Authorities have identified and charged a woman who was caught on video climbing into a tiger enclosure at the Cohanzick Zoo in Bridgeton, New Jersey, in a viral incident that triggered widespread online outrage. The woman, 24-year-old Zyair Dennis, is accused of entering both the tiger's enclosure and a bear paddock within the zoo. The footage, which circulated on social media, shows Dennis dangerously close to the tiger, narrowly avoiding a potentially fatal encounter. Bridgeton Police quickly launched an investigation to identify the individual, as her actions violated a city ordinance against climbing over zoo fences—an act that also defied common sense. The investigation revealed that this wasn’t Dennis’s first offense. In addition to her close encounter with the tiger, she had previously entered a bear enclosure at the same zoo. Consequently, she has been charged with trespassing and cited twice for general misconduct. The incident has attracted significant attention, with many highlighting the dangers of such reckless behavior. Despite being in captivity, the animals remain dangerous predators capable of causing serious harm. Dennis’s actions could have had much graver consequences for both herself and the animals involved.

Judge halts Biden administration's plan to grant legal status to spouses of U.S. citizens.
On Monday, a federal judge in Texas temporarily halted the Biden administration's policy granting legal status to unauthorized immigrants married to U.S. citizens. This decision came after 16 Republican-led states challenged the policy in court. District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker's ruling effectively pauses a significant immigration program that had just launched, potentially impacting around half a million undocumented immigrants. Although the ruling is temporary, it marks an early setback for one of President Biden's key immigration initiatives, which is a significant issue in the 2024 presidential race. The program, named "Keeping Families Together," was introduced as a response to the struggles of undocumented immigrants who have been living in the U.S. for years without legal status. It allows unauthorized immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens, have lived in the country for at least 10 years, and pass background checks, to apply for temporary work permits and protection from deportation. The policy also extends to undocumented stepchildren of U.S. citizens, although those with felony convictions are excluded. Importantly, the program offers a streamlined path to permanent residency and eventual U.S. citizenship for eligible immigrants. Traditionally, immigrants married to U.S. citizens can obtain a green card, but those who entered the country illegally must leave and re-enter legally, which can trigger lengthy bans from the U.S. This has deterred many from seeking legal status. The Biden administration has argued that the policy promotes family unity, but Texas and other Republican-led states contend that it incentivizes illegal immigration. They claim the policy misuses the immigration parole authority. On Monday, Judge Barker, who was appointed by former President Trump, issued an administrative order preventing the Department of Homeland Security from granting parole under the policy for 14 days, with the possibility of an extension. However, the DHS can still accept applications during this period. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Two astronauts stranded in space will remain there until February 2025.
Two NASA astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, who traveled to space on the Boeing Starliner, will not return to Earth until February 2025. They were originally scheduled to come back around Independence Day but will instead spend an additional six months in space due to issues with the Starliner spacecraft. After a detailed assessment, NASA decided the spacecraft wasn’t reliable for the return journey, so Boeing's competitor, SpaceX, will now handle their return. The Starliner will come back to Earth without its crew. The Starliner launched on June 5 from the Kennedy Space Center with the goal of regularly transporting astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission was a crucial step for Boeing to compete with SpaceX in servicing NASA. The mission’s purpose was to demonstrate the Starliner’s capabilities for crewed flights, but it has faced challenges. The spacecraft will return autonomously in September to make way for SpaceX's Crew-9, which will then bring Wilmore and Williams back to Earth in February 2025. In the meantime, they will continue working on scientific research and maintenance at the ISS. NASA has ensured that they have sufficient supplies and can still participate in the upcoming presidential election from space. Although the Starliner’s return without crew may affect its certification process, NASA plans to review the mission data and determine next steps for Boeing. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
Russia launches "nightmare" drone and missile attacks across Ukraine, Kyiv reports.
Russia launched a large-scale and deadly attack across Ukraine on Monday, deploying drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles against at least 15 regions, according to Ukrainian officials. The assault was one of the most extensive airstrikes since the conflict began in 2022, involving at least 127 missiles and 109 drones over a span of more than eight hours, as stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy described the strikes as yet another example of Russia's malicious targeting of vital civilian infrastructure, emphasizing that President Vladimir Putin's actions are limited only by what the international community permits. The attacks focused on critical infrastructure, including the energy sector and railroads. At least seven people were killed and 47 others injured, including four children, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service. Later in the day, a missile strike on civilian infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih led to additional casualties, including one death and four injuries. Residents in Kyiv sought shelter in subway stations as the city endured hours of drone attacks. Ukrainian air defense forces managed to shoot down numerous enemy drones aimed at the capital. President Joe Biden condemned Russia’s actions, reiterating that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine and bolster its energy grid. The White House called the attack a typical strategy by Vladimir Putin to cripple Ukraine's energy infrastructure as colder weather approaches. Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed the attack, stating it had used long-range precision weapons to target critical energy infrastructure linked to Ukraine's military operations. The strikes resulted in widespread blackouts and disrupted public services across several regions, including Kyiv, Odesa, and Chernihiv. More at:www.ninaworldnews.com.
