| First Ladies' role little-defined around the world Posted: 08 Aug 2017 11:36 AM PDT  French President Emmanuel Macron's efforts to create a "real status" for First Lady Brigitte Macron have thrown a spotlight on the role of her counterparts around the world. With the exception of the monarchy, the partners of European heads of state and government, often discreet, have no special status and some continue to work.

| Car chase reveals 'driverless van' actually has driver disguised as front seat Posted: 08 Aug 2017 05:20 AM PDT  A self-driving van that appeared completely unmanned has been revealed as under the control of a driver hiding dressed as a car seat following a chase with journalists. The Ford Transit was spotted on the streets of Arlington, Virginia, driving around the town with no visible driver. Although the state had authorised the testing of autonomous cars locals had not expected to see one, let alone a completely unmanned vehicle. The van was seen driving over the weekend and was hunted down by local journalists. Unlike most self-driving vehicles, it appeared to have no Lidar array for tracking its surrounding, which have been seen on test cars from Uber or Waymo, two of the leaders in autonomous vehicles. Any tests of self-driving vehicles are normally accompanied by a human driver, who sits in the driver's seat to control the car if it strays off course. Local journalists from ARL Now and NBC News 4 reporter Adam Tuss tracked the van, attempting to see how the vehicle was driving. Tuss and his team ultimately pulled up alongside at a red light, revealing hands and feet sticking out of the front seat controlling the wheel. "This is one of the strangest things I have ever seen," Tuss tweeted. "We have found the self-driving van in Arlington - and there's a guy hiding behind the seat." The "self-driving" van photographed in Virginia Credit: Adam Tuss/NBC After the reporter questioned the driver through the window, the driver sped off without a word to the reporter. The driverless car turned out to be a test by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute as part of a study into autonomous vehicles. The institute told NBC: "The driver's seating area is configured to make the driver less visible within the vehicle, while still allowing him or her the ability to safely monitor and respond to surroundings."

| Chloe Ayling: Who is the British model who was drugged and kidnapped in Italy? Posted: 08 Aug 2017 09:32 AM PDT  Chloe Ayling, 20, is the glamour model who was drugged and abducted in Italy after reportedly being duped into attending a bogus photoshoot. Italian police say she was snatched last month by at least two men who claim to be part of dark web group Black Death, who say they sell women as sex slaves online. The kidnapping The place where a man identified as Lukasz Pawel Herba, a Polish citizen with British residency, held a young British model Credit: ITALIAN POLICE PRESS OFFICE / HANDOUT Miss Ayling was snatched last month by a group calling itself Black Death and is believed to have been drugged and transported in a bag to an isolated village near Turin, where she was held for six days as her captors tried to auction her online. She described how she was drugged, handcuffed, gagged and put in a bag in the boot of a car by kidnappers before being driven off to the farmhouse where she was held captive. "A person wearing black gloves came from behind and put one hand on my neck and one on my mouth to stop me from screaming," she said in her statement. "A second person wearing a black balaclava gave me an injection in my right forearm. I think I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was wearing a pink bodysuit and the socks I am wearing now. "I realised I was in the boot of a car with my wrists and ankles handcuffed, adhesive tape on my mouth. I was inside a bag and was only able to breathe through a small hole." What is the dark web? 01:30 As she screamed for help she was driven 120 miles to the tiny hamlet of Borgial near the French border where they forced her to lie on the floor next to a chest of drawers and handcuffed her hands and feet to the legs, leaving her " totally immobilised". She was kept handcuffed to furniture in the village of Borgial but was freed after six days and taken to the British Consulate in Milan, despite the ransom not being paid, police said. They had taken photographs of her whilst she was unconscious which were posted on the dark web with the view to auctioning her off. Why was she released? According to Ms Ayling, one of her kidnappers confessed to her that they had made a mistake seizing her because she was the mother of a young child. He said it was against the "rules" of his organisation and his superiors were angry. Afterwards they removed the cuffs from her feet and allowed her to move around the farmhouse, she said. The captors demanded £270,000 from her agent but eventually dropped agreed to accept £50,000 and Herba took her to the British Consulate in Milan on July 17 where he was arrested. Her captor Photo released by police of a man identified as identified as Lukasz Pawel Herba, a Polish citizen with British residency Credit: Italian Police Photo via AP Lukasz Pawel Herba is accused of being part of a Black Death gang which drugged and kidnapped Chloe Ayling, who had been lured to Milan on the promise of a fashion shoot. Herba, 30, a Polish national who was living in Oldbury, in the West Midlands, told the 20-year-old glamour model as she was held prisoner in a remote farmhouse that unless her agent paid a ransom of $300,000, she would be sold as a sex slave in the Middle East. His home in Oldbury, in the West Midlands, has been raided by British officers. Under questioning by Italian police, he claimed he became part of the kidnapping gang because he was suffering from leukemia and desperately needed to raise half a million pounds for treatment. He could provide no medical proof of having the illness. He was arrested as he dropped the model off at the British Consulate in Milan on July 17. Who are the Black Death group? The Black Death group operates on the Dark Web and allegedly sells kidnapped women as sex slaves in online auctions. The group was investigated in 2016 amid fears that they were selling a 15-year-old British girl in an online auction. Europol had monitored the group's Dark Web site of as they advertised two teenagers for auction, one of whom was under the age of consent and described as "pure". A screenshot of a "Black Death Group" document on a laptop belonging to Lukasz Pawel Herba, Credit: REUTERS The auction of the 15-year-old, whose name was given as Laura, started at $750,000 and was due to take place at the end of May 2016, with the Black Death website warning that it was "fully booked". A second auction for a 17-year-old girl born in the UK named only as Gemma had been scheduled to take place just days earlier with a starting bid of $120,000. The age, hair colour and measurements of both teenagers were posted alongside their auction adverts. It is unknown whether these auctions went ahead. Questions over shoe shopping incident The Italian media has raised questions over the kidnapping after it was revealed the model went shoe shopping with her captor. Newspaper La Repubblica claimed Ms Ayling burst into tears when police investigators asked her about the trip. The newspaper reported: "That the kidnapping was real or that she was doped with ketamine is not put into question by the investigators. "But it is also tremendously true that many details do not add up. "Starting with a question that the police investigators suddenly asked Chloe, causing her to cry, 'But don't you think it is strange to go and buy shoes with your kidnapper? "Because that also happened and, of course, the shop assistant, identified by the cops, recognized her, and recognized the person she calls MD [Herba]." Her lawyer has called people who raised these questions "evil", defending his client's shoe shopping trip. He told Radio 4's Today programme: "She was told that she was going to be sold to somebody in the Middle East for sex. "She was told that people were there watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. "So she thought that the best idea was to go along with it and to be nice in a way to her captor because he told her that he wanted to release her somehow and sometime and she thought that the best thing to do was not to go in conflict with him. "So she abided to his request, 'let's go and buy groceries' and 'you need shoes, let's go buy shoes' and she didn't try to flee. "But I believe she was terrified at the moment and even if she could've asked for help she didn't because she was subjugated to this person, or people as she was given to understand." She told police she had developed a trusting relationship and even shared a bed with her kidnapper, who gave her chocolate and underwear, but she said he had not sexually assaulted her.

| China to 'pay the price' over North Korea sanctions, insists Beijing Posted: 07 Aug 2017 10:36 PM PDT  China has said it is willing to "pay the price" and fully implement harsh sanctions on its historic ally North Korea, although experts have questioned the impact of the measures. Pyongyang relies heavily on its economic links with China, and the ban on North Korean exports of coal, iron, lead and seafood products will largely affect trade between the two countries. Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said: "Given China's traditional economic links with the DPRK, it is China that will mainly pay the price for the implementation of (the sanctions). "China will continue to fully and strictly implement all the contents of the resolution to safeguard the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and maintain regional peace and stability," he added, according to Xinhua state news agency.

Credit: KCNA/Reuters The sanctions were agreed by the UN in a unanimous vote on Saturday after the rogue state carried out two intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) tests in July. Confronting Kim Jong-un's regime is a key aspect of Donald Trump's foreign policy. The US president expressed his delight following the agreement of the sanctions, which could slash $1 billion from North Korea's $3 billion annual export revenue. However, the success of the measures is not only dependent on Beijing's willingness to fully implement them, but also on whether they will have an impact on the North's nuclear weapons programme. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reacts during the long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 (Mars-12) test launch Credit: KCNA/Reuters Many observers believe North Korea's leaders will shield the country's military build-up from any negative affects of the sanctions, and instead squeeze the country's already impoverished citizens. "North Korea is already a de facto nuclear state and it's doubtful that sanctions are going to do anything to affect this," said Richard Bitzinger, a military expert at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. "Sanctions are mainly a feel-good exercise for the countries implementing them," he told The Telegraph.

The decision could embolden members of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) to vote against Zuma and puts him in a precarious position as he struggles to fend off opposition accusations of corruption and mismanaging the economy. If the motion succeeds, Zuma -- in power since 2009 -- and his entire cabinet would have to step down.

| Total solar eclipse 2017: When is it, why is it happening and how can I see it in the UK? Posted: 08 Aug 2017 07:58 AM PDT  What's happening? On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will witness an eclipse of the sun for the first time in 99 years, where the Moon will pass in front of the Sun casting darkness across swathes of the Earth's surface. Dubbed the Great American Eclipse, the moment will see the Sun, the Moon and the Earth become perfectly aligned in a once-in-a-lifetime celestial spectacle seen from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Although we won't see a perfect alignment in the UK, we will be able to see a partial eclipse (where the moon covers only a part of the sun). 10 amazing places in America to watch the 2017 solar eclipse Who will see it? Everyone in North America, parts of South America, Africa and Europe - including the UK - will see at least a partial solar eclipse, where the moon covers only a part of the sun. However, 14 states across the United States will experience a total solar eclipse with more than two minutes of darkness descending in the middle of the day over the course of 100 minutes. More than 12 million Americans live inside the path of totality and more than half of the nation live within 400 miles of it. Millions more are expected to travel to cities along the path to witness the phenomenon. Eclipse path of totality in black. 14 states across the United States will experience it. Credit: Nasa What causes an eclipse? The diameter of the Sun is 400 times that of the Moon but it lies 400 times further away - which means if you are in exactly the right alignment on the surface of the Earth at the right time, you will see the two celestial bodies overlap exactly. Credit: Nasa Where can I see the eclipse in the UK? Sadly Brits won't get a total eclipse like our friends across the pond, but we will be treated to a slight partial eclipse which will still be worth watching. It will be visible in parts of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland from around 19:35 on August 21 - but make sure you're in a spot where there's no cloud. UK eclipse circumstances for August 21 2017 What areas will see total blackout? Anyone within the path of totality will see the sky become dark for several minutes as the moon completely covers the sun. The path is relatively thin, around 70 miles wide, and stretches from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. It will first be seen at Lincoln Beach, Oregon at 9:05 PDT, with totality beginning at 10:16 PDT. Over the next 90 minutes, it will cross through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North and end near Charleston, South Carolina at 14:28 EDT. The lunar shadow will leave the US at 04:09 EDT. Its longest duration will be near Carbondale, Illinois, where the sun will be completely covered for two minutes and 40 seconds. Solar eclipse 2017, in pictures What time can I see the total eclipse? Here are the mid-eclipse times for some of the major towns and cities along the path of totality, according to Nasa. All times are local. Where to see it | The Great American solar eclipse Will there be a live stream? Yes - Nasa will host an Eclipse Megacast for four hours during the eclipse which will be picked up by local, national and international TV stations. You can also follow all the action via the Telegraph. How can I see it safely? Never look directly at the Sun, even through sunglasses or dark material such as a bin liner or photographic negative. Makeshift filters may not screen out the harmful infrared radiation that can burn the retina of the eye risking permanent eye damage and blindness. Also, viewers must never use binoculars or a telescope. Wear special eclipse viewing glasses - not ordinary sunglasses - or construct a simple pinhole camera which projects an image of the Sun onto a blank piece of paper. Solar eclipse: how to watch the eclipse safely When will Britain next see a solar eclipse? There was a pretty spectacular eclipse in Britain in March 2015, but the last total eclipse in the UK was in August 1999. You might be waiting a while for the next decent one too - it won't take place until August 12, 2026. On that date up to 95 per cent of the Sun will be obscured. Britain will not see a total solar eclipse until September 23, 2090. How we watched the 1999 solar eclipse - in 90 seconds 01:42 Total solar eclipses in history Eclipses have both fascinated and terrified civilisations for centuries. When King Henry I of England, the son of William the Conqueror, died in 1133, his death happened to coincide with a total solar eclipse plummeting the nation into darkness for four minutes and 38 seconds. Historian William of Malmesbury wrote in 1140 that "the darkness was so great that people at first thought the world was ending."
