#F1 REPORT: Hungarian GP: Sebastian Vettel wins after a favour from Kimi Raikkonnen |

Hungarian GP: Sebastian Vettel wins after a favour from Kimi

Sebastian Vettel has extended his world championship lead with victory in the Hungarian GP ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Valtteri Bottas.

Vettel, handicapped for most of the race by a steering issue, was indebted to team-mate Raikkonen not challenging him for the lead as his pace evaporated.

In a highly risk but sporting move, Lewis Hamilton surrendered third place to Mercedes stable-mate Bottas at the final corner after previously being let through by the Finn.

The result means Vettel will take a fourteen-point lead over Hamilton into the summer break.

With internal politics rather than pace ultimately deciding Ferrari’s finishing order, Mercedes’ decision to swap their drivers on the last lap will be fiercely debated.

As Vettel’s pace disappeared, and with an exasperated Raikkonen unable to persuade his Ferrari pitwall to allow him to overtake the stricken lead car, Hamilton had immediately unfurled sufficient had enough pace to catch the Ferrari train but not enough to overtake rear-gunner Raikkonen around a Hungaroring circuit where overtaking is notoriously difficult.

Hamilton slowed down by as much as five seconds on the final lap to let Bottas back through and crossed the line fractionally ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

The Dutchman had earlier been embroiled in the race’s most controversial incident when he crashed into team-mate Daniel Ricciardo at the second corner…

West Coast Eagles back in top eight after 68-point rout of Brisbane

WEST Coast have snuck back into the top eight after emerging from a week of immense scrutiny to post a 68-point win over Brisbane at Domain Stadium this afternoon.

The Eagles were far from impressive, but guaranteed they remain in the race for finals by taking care of business against a youthful Lions line-up with a 17.11 (113) to 6.9 (45) triumph.

The comfortable victory was set up in the second quarter when West Coast booted five unanswered goals.

Criticised heavily this week for their fadeouts, the age of their list and the diminished output of key players, the Eagles started the contest sluggishly before finding more fluency in their game after quarter time.

The win did little to add to West Coast’s finals credibility, but lifted them above the Western Bulldogs into eighth spot ahead of a crucial showdown with St Kilda at Etihad Stadium next Sunday.

It was the first time West Coast had kicked at least 100 points in a game since round six and their biggest winning margin for the year.

Car bomb blast in Somalia’s capital kills at least 5

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A car bomb blast near a police station in Somalia’s capital on Sunday killed at least five people and wounded at least 13 others, police said. The explosion shattered a month of relative calm in Mogadishu, often a target of the extremist group al-Shabab.

The blast near Waberi police station along the busy Maka Almukarramah road may have been a suicide bomber, Capt. Mohamed Hussein told The Associated Press.

The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab often carries out deadly bombings in Mogadishu against high-profile targets such as hotels and checkpoints.

Most of the victims Sunday were civilians.

The exact target of the blast remained unclear. The blast occurred amid a traffic jam while soldiers were searching cars at a nearby intersection.

Somalia’s Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire said no such blast had occurred in the capital for a month.

At the blast scene, rescue workers and civilians carried bloodied bodies and injured victims to hospitals.

Two killed, four wounded in German disco shooting: police

A gunman opened fire at a disco in southern Germany early Sunday, killing one and wounding four before being shot by police, officials said in a statement.

A 34-year-old man opened fire in a nightclub in the southern German city of Konstanz on Sunday, killing one person and seriously injuring three others, police said.

The suspect suffered life-threatening injuries in a gunfight with police officers outside the music venue after they had rushed to the scene shortly after the incident around 0230 GMT.

The suspect has been taken to hospital. The motive for the shooting is unclear. One police officer was also injured in the exchange of fire with the suspect.

Police said in a statement that special commando forces have been deployed in the city as it was not clear if the suspected had acted alone or had accomplices.

On Friday, a failed asylum seeker killed one person and injured six others in the northern city of Hamburg.

Officials said he was an Islamist known to security forces and he had was psychologically unstable.

More to come

Love Island’s Jess Shears strips naked in sexually charged shoot for Sixty6 magazine

LOVE Island’s Jess Shears has stripped naked for a sexy magazine shoot. The body confident 24-year-old put on an array of teasing poses in her raunchiest photoshoot to date for Sixty6 mag.

Some of the naturally lit pictures show Jess sitting completely starkers on the floor with her long brown hair tumbling in loose waves, while in others she stands face on to the camera with a smouldering expression, and another she stretched across the floor, revealing her tattoo at the top of her ribcage.

The shoot then goes to a night time look and has Jess laying across a bed in a pair of black stockings and laying on the floor with her hair tied back.

She was only on Love Island for a short time but Jess managed to find love with fellow contestant Dom Lever, and the Devon girl told the Sun’s Bizarre column her parents already approve of the hunk.

And despite her reportedly sleeping with fellow islander Mike Thalassitis, 24, a source insisted they have been “solid” since they reunited.

Speaking at the Spectrum x Mean Girls: Burn Book launch party, she said: “My mum and dad adore him already so he’s an easy one. They approve.

“I’ve met his mum. It was quick as we were in a rush and we didn’t have time to for the whole family to be there. At some point hopefully we will go for a meal.

Philippines:  12 people, including a city mayor, have been killed in a shoot-out with police officers

Twelve people, including a city mayor, have been killed in a shoot-out with police officers during a series of pre-dawn anti-drug raids in the southern Philippines.

Police officers also arrested the vice mayor of Ozamiz City, about 780km south of Manila, during the raids on Sunday, Chief Superintendent Timoteo Pacleb, a regional police director said.

Police simultaneously served search warrants against the properties of Reynaldo Parojinog Senior, mayor of Ozamiz City, his daughter Vice Mayor Nova Parojinog and three other family members on allegations they were trading in illegal drugs, Pacleb said.

‘The police personnel were met with volley of gunfire from their security, prompting the police to retaliate,’ he added.

Aside from Parojinog, his wife, a provincial board member who was also a relative and four security aides of the family were among those killed in the shoot-out, Pacleb said.

The identities of the other people slain were still being verified.

Police confiscated high-powered firearms and an undetermined amount of methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, from at least four houses of the Parojinog family, the city’s information office said.

Jones (23-1) completed his rocky journey back to the top after a yearlong suspension with his 14th consecutive victory. He fended off a stiff challenge from Cormier (19-2), who held the belt for most of the past two years while Jones dealt with self-inflicted setbacks outside the cage.

After two and a half rounds of even, high-level striking, Jones landed a head kick that caught Cormier leaning in. The champion staggered backward and then around the cage with Jones in pursuit, and Jones finished the fight on the ground with a series of merciless strikes.

Echo Yachts: White Rabbit Golf, biggest super-yacht to be built in Perth

INSIDE a gigantic shed on the southern Perth coastline, hundreds of dedicated workers have joined forces to save Australia’s super yacht industry and make nautical history in the process.

When complete, they can lay claim to having helped create the biggest aluminium trimaran super yacht in the world.

At 84m long (longer than Perth’s Swan Bell Tower is tall) and 19m wide, and with enough accommodation for 22 guests and 30 crew, it will also be the biggest super yacht built in Australia.

The team, which numbered more than 300 at the peak of the project, is due to finish its three-and-a-half-year mission to deliver this dream vessel, dubbed White Rabbit Golf, to a wealthy Singaporean client before the middle of next year.

Echo Yachts, based at Henderson, is undertaking the prestigious job, which director Mark Stothard said was a lifeline for Australia’s super yacht industry.

Phoenix infant dies in hot car _ second such death in city

PHOENIX (AP) — An infant left for about two hours in a hot car has died — the second such death in the past two days in the city, the Phoenix Fire Department said.

Firefighters were called shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday to investigate a report of a 1-year-old boy in a car in the parking lot of the Free Church of God in Christ on the city’s south side, authorities said.

The mother found the child, which was pronounced dead the scene, fire Capt. Larry Subervi said in a statement .

Phoenix police are investigating. The incident appears to be an accident, Subervi said.

Zettica Mitchell, who told the Arizona Republic she is a cousin of the baby’s father, called the death “shocking, devastating, just sad.”

“You feel like it’s something that could happen to anybody,” she said.

On Friday, authorities say a 7-month-old boy died after being left alone in a hot car in a northeast Phoenix neighborhood in triple-digit conditions.

Emergency personnel were called to the scene about 4 p.m. Friday, fire department officials said. When officers arrived, witnesses reported the baby had been left in the vehicle for an extended period of time. The boy was pronounced dead a short time later, police said.

Korea’s booming hangover cure drinks industry is being embraced in Silicon Valley

IF YOU’RE feeling a bit worse for wear this weekend thanks to a big night out — and let’s face it, there’s probably about a million of us right now — you might wish you were in South Korea.

 

The country has a booming industry of specialty drinks which promise to help you get on the booze without the bumping headache the next day.

The country’s “hangover cure” industry generates about $158 million a year and these special-purpose drinks which underpin it are widely popular.

They are consumed before a heavy drinking session and an ingredient in them is said to break down a toxin produced in our liver when drinking and also reduce the effect of alcohol on our brain’s neurotransmitters.

Emily Seebohm breaks Australian gold drought at world swimming championships

Australia’s gold drought is finally over at the world swimming championships in Budapest after Emily Seebohm set a new national record to defend her 200m backstroke crown.

On the penultimate night of the eight-day titles, Seebohm, 25, clocked two minutes, 05.68 seconds to hold out local hope Katinka Hosszu with American Kathleen Baker third.

Australia’s Kaylee McKeown – just 16 years old – set a new junior world record (2:05.85) to finish fourth on debut.

It capped a remarkable comeback for Seebohm, who considered walking away from the sport after health issues sabotaged her Rio Olympic campaign.

“I am just amazed at what I have been able to achieve tonight,” said Seebohm.

“But if I had won or lost tonight I would have been so proud of my performances and what I have overcome.”

It was also an enormous relief to an Australian team that had been running out of time to finally register gold…
