| Prince Harry's former car can be yours for a mere £71K Posted: 03 Aug 2018 07:27 AM PDT  Who wouldn't want to own a vehicle that Harry and Meghan have driven around in? And for a mere £71K ($92K), you can be the proud owner of the Duke of Sussex's former Audi RS6 Avant. Bargain! SEE ALSO: People are baffled by the number of water bottles Harry and Meghan were given in Ireland Harry "only owned the Audi RS6 for a year," according to Auto Trader, which is selling the car. Harry reportedly drove Meghan to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception in the car back in May 2017. Image: autotraderFor those who have a bit of spare dosh lying around, the car also happens to have only racked up 4,500 miles. It also features £11,330 ($14,728) worth of extras, like privacy glass and a panoramic sunroof. Fancy! "Prince Harry and Meghan tied the knot less than six months ago and now Harry is putting his 17 reg, low mileage Audi up for sale — you can't help but wonder if it's because he is in the market for something bigger," Erin Baker, Auto Trader's editorial director, told Mashable.

| U.S. wants help finding parents deported without their children Posted: 02 Aug 2018 10:03 PM PDT  The U.S. government told a federal court judge on Thursday that volunteers and non-profit groups, rather than government officials, should take the lead in locating more than 400 immigrant parents who were separated from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border and deported from the United States. In the case, brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the government to reunify the families by July 26, but that deadline was not fully met. While more than 1,900 children have been reunited with their families, or seen their cases resolved in other ways, hundreds remain separated, including the children of more than 400 parents no longer in the United States, according to the government's latest filing.

| NRA has major financial issues - but could it really collapse? Posted: 03 Aug 2018 12:57 PM PDT  The National Rifle Association (NRA) may be the most powerful gun lobbying group in the world. Each year, the organisation blocks significant gun control research and legislation in Congress, while influencing local and national elections through funding, media and outreach to its self-reported five millions members. This week, however, the NRA became the focus of a national news story — not for falling prey to an alleged Russian spy, or failing to respond after a deadly mass shooting, two issues the group has recently endured — about its supposedly dire economic state.
