Cal State Basketball Coach Was Pimp, Prosecutors Say

A coach and former player for a Cal State men’s basketball team is facing numerous charges after he allegedly trafficked a woman across state lines and possessed guns, drugs and child pornography.

After an anonymous allegation was made in an email to Cal State Bakersfield head coach Rod Barnes, an investigation resulted in the arrest of Kevin Mays, who now faces 11 charges, as detailed by Shwetha Surendran of ESPN.

Those allegations include pimping, possession of automatic firearms and possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell.

“Separate charges cited him for possession of more than 600 images of youth or child pornography and distribution of obscene matter involving someone under 18 years old,” Surendran explained.

The fallout from the scandal resulted in Barnes and athletic director Kyle Conder leaving their positions.

Mays has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his attorney declined to comment when reached by ESPN.

School spokesperson Jennifer Self said that the allegations don’t involve a student, but they’re still “deeply concerning.”

Self added that they’ve used the incident as an opportunity to educate those on campus about human trafficking.

“We also viewed this moment as an opportunity to take a broader look at our athletic program,” including “structural and administrative changes,” she said.

UCLA Women’s Basketball Stars Perform in Halftime Show

After winning the first Big Ten regular season title in program history, three UCLA women’s basketball stars made a special appearance in a halftime show performance with UCLA’s dance team.

Two weeks ago, graduate student guard Charlisse Leger-Walker posted a YouTube video where she and Jaquez learned the choreography for one of the dance team’s halftime performances. At the end of the video, Leger-Walker said she and Jaquez would perform at the UCLA men’s basketball game against Nebraska if the video received 1,000 likes.

The video not only reached 1,000 likes, committing Leger-Walker and Jaquez to the halftime performance. But the pair also recruited Big Ten Player of the Year and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Lauren Betts.

“Lauren and I have been wanting to take a dance class in L.A. for a long time,” Jaquez told ESPN. “We both grew up dancing, and we love to dance in the locker room and stuff. But this wasn’t just like a TikTok dance, it was the real thing. So when Charlisse came up with this idea, we were all-in.”

The Bruins just came off an undefeated Big Ten conference season and will now turn their focus to the Big Ten Tournament this weekend. UCLA has a chance to win a national championship, and Betts said the performance shows how much chemistry the Bruins have in and out of basketball.

“This team is all about fun,” Betts said to ESPN. “And this is the type of fun that we like to have. We genuinely love doing things like this together. I never thought something like this would happen but here we are. And I think it just shows the type of chemistry that this team has. Like look at us out here dancing and then winning basketball games.”

Jaquez Also Made Appearances With The UCLA Softball Team

In addition to performing at halftime with the UCLA dance team, Jaquez joined the UCLA softball team for the 2024 season.

She made her debut with the Bruins’ softball team as a pinch runner against Georgia in NCAA Super Regionals. Jaquez also scored one run for UCLA when then-sophomore infielder Jordan Woolery hit a three-run home run while Jaquez was on base.

Before coming to UCLA, she played on Adolfo Camarillo’s softball team alongside UCLA redshirt junior utility Rylee Pinedo.

Shimla Welcomes New jüSTa Forest Retreat As Onora Hospitality Expands Luxury Boutique Tourism In Himachal Pradesh

Shimla Welcomes New jüSTa Forest Retreat As Onora Hospitality Expands Luxury Boutique Tourism In Himachal Pradesh

Shimla, Himachal Pradesh is preparing to welcome a new boutique hospitality experience as Onora Hospitality, the parent company behind jüSTa Hotels & Resorts, announces the signing of a heritage-style forest retreat in the scenic Jakhu Hills area. The upcoming property, which will be situated in the historic hill-station area, will showcase India’s emerging trend that combines luxurious accommodations with authentic cultural experiences.

For travellers seeking calm mountain air, forest trails and heritage architecture, Shimla continues to hold a timeless allure. The new jüSTa retreat aims to deepen that connection by blending colonial-era design, boutique hospitality and wellness-led experiences, reinforcing the hill town’s reputation as one of North India’s most beloved leisure destinations.

Onora Hospitality Strengthens Its Presence in Himachal Pradesh

The upcoming property marks the sixth hotel for Onora Hospitality in Himachal Pradesh, highlighting the company’s steady expansion across key leisure destinations in the region. The group already operates several well-known boutique properties across the state under its jüSTa Hotels & Resorts portfolio.

These include resorts and hotels located in Mashobra, Dharamshala, Manali and Palampur, alongside a Bookmark Resorts property in Manali. With tourism in Himachal Pradesh continuing to grow rapidly, the company appears to be strategically strengthening its presence in high-demand mountain destinations.

The new retreat in Shimla’s Jakhu Hills area reflects the brand’s long-term focus on experiential travel. Instead of conventional hotel developments, the company has increasingly prioritised properties that reflect local character, history and landscape.

Company leadership has indicated that the new signing aligns with a broader strategy of building boutique properties in leisure destinations across North India where travellers seek authentic experiences rather than large-scale commercial accommodation.

A Heritage Residence Reimagined in the Forests of Jakhu Hills

Located near Jakhu Temple and the famous Mall Road, the new jüSTa retreat will be housed within a restored late 19th-century residence. The historic structure sits in the forested surroundings of Jakhu Hills, the highest point in Shimla.

This setting offers travellers the rare opportunity to stay close to the town’s vibrant centre while still enjoying the quiet of surrounding pine and deodar forests. Jakhu Hills is one of the most scenic areas of Shimla and is popular with visitors for its walking trails, panoramic viewpoints and historic temples.

By restoring an existing heritage residence rather than constructing a new building from scratch, the project preserves part of Shimla’s architectural legacy. Such heritage conversions have increasingly become an important trend in India’s tourism industry as travellers look for accommodation with character and cultural depth.

Colonial Architecture Reinterpreted for Contemporary Travel

The retreat’s design pays homage to Shimla’s colonial-era architectural heritage, a style deeply associated with the city’s identity as the former summer capital of British India.

Constructed primarily using deodar wood, the interiors will showcase intricate woodwork that reflects the traditional craftsmanship historically seen in hill-station architecture. This material not only enhances the visual authenticity of the property but also integrates naturally with the surrounding forest environment.

Design plans indicate that the hotel will combine heritage aesthetics with contemporary comfort. Rooms will feature large windows that frame views of surrounding forests, allowing guests to experience the tranquillity of the Himalayan landscape.

Accommodation will be offered across three distinct room categories, each differentiated by layout and spatial design while maintaining a consistent focus on nature views and boutique hospitality.

Wellness and Slow Travel Experiences for Modern Visitors

The new jüSTa retreat has been conceptualised as a premium boutique forest retreat, focusing on wellness, relaxation and slow travel experiences.

Guests will have access to a full-service spa, offering treatments designed to complement the peaceful mountain setting. Dedicated yoga spaces and indoor recreational areas will provide opportunities for both relaxation and leisure throughout the stay.

Guided nature walks through surrounding forest trails are also planned as a core part of the guest experience. These walks aim to introduce travellers to the natural beauty of Jakhu Hills while encouraging mindful exploration of Shimla’s landscape.

Another key feature of the property will be an English-style café overlooking the forest. Designed as a calm alternative to the bustling commercial atmosphere of Mall Road, the café will provide guests with a tranquil space for dining and socialising.

This focus on wellness and nature aligns with evolving traveller preferences in India and globally. Increasingly, visitors are seeking destinations that combine luxury with wellness, sustainability and immersive natural environments.

Boosting Shimla’s Boutique Tourism Appeal

Shimla has long been one of India’s most iconic hill stations, attracting domestic and international travellers for its cool climate, colonial architecture and Himalayan views.

However, in recent years the tourism industry in the region has seen a growing shift toward boutique hospitality and experiential travel. Smaller, character-driven properties are gaining popularity as visitors seek more personalised stays that reflect local culture and heritage.

The addition of the new jüSTa retreat contributes to this evolving tourism landscape. By restoring a heritage residence and positioning it as a forest retreat, the project enhances Shimla’s appeal to travellers interested in slow travel, heritage accommodation and nature-led experiences.

Industry observers have noted that developments like this also support the broader regional tourism economy by encouraging longer stays and deeper engagement with local destinations.

A New Chapter for Heritage Hospitality in Shimla

For travellers dreaming of quiet forest mornings, historic architecture and mountain views, the upcoming jüSTa retreat represents another reason to return to Shimla. As India’s tourism sector continues to evolve, boutique properties like this one are shaping a new narrative around travel, one that prioritises authenticity, heritage and connection with nature.

With its forest setting, colonial design influences and wellness-focused experiences, the new property is expected to attract both leisure travellers and urban escape seekers looking for calm in the Himalayas. For Shimla, the project marks another step in preserving its historic charm while embracing the future of experiential tourism in the Indian hill stations.

Japan February 2026: Daihatsu (+18.5%), Mitsubishi (+14.3%) impress

The Move (+39.4%) helps Daihatsu up 18.5% in February.

The Japanese new vehicle market is shy in February at -3.5% year-on-year to 394,965 units. The year-to-date tally is now off -2.9% to 762,717. The Top 3 carmakers all fall a little faster than the market. Toyota is off -8.1% to 29.6% share vs. 30.5% so far this year, Suzuki is down 5.7% to 16.1% share vs. 16.3% and Honda edges down -5.2%  to 13.8% share. Daihatsu (+18.5%) on the other hand continues to catch up on depleted year-ago volumes. Mitsubishi (+14.3%), Isuzu (+7.2%) and to a lesser extent Nissan (+0.4%) all defy the negative market with year-on-year upticks. Mercedes (-2.2%) remains by far the most popular foreign brand but with just 0.9% share. BYD is up 110.9% to a still tiny 466 sales (#23).

Looking at regular cars, the Toyota Yaris/Yaris Cross (-26%) continues to lead but crashes year-on-year as does the Toyota Corolla/Corolla Cross (-32%). The Toyota Sienta (-7.3%) maintains itself at #2 while the Toyota Raize (+9.1%) ranks #4. The Honda Freed (-4.5%) is the best-selling non Toyota model at #5, distancing the Toyota Voxy (+27.5%) and Roomy (-4.5%). The Suzuki Jimny Wagon (+133.1%) impresses once again at #13, with the Toyota RAV4 (+71.9%), Mitsubishi Delica D5 (+46.3%) and Suzuki XBee (+94.8%) also standing out. The Toyota bZ4X (+8900%) confirms the facelift was a good idea  and scores a third Top 30 finish in the past four months.

As for kei cars, the Honda N-BOX (-1.7%) stays in the lead and tops the overall vehicle charts by a large margin. In fact both the Suzuki Spacia (-8.1%) and Daihatsu Move (+39.4%) also outsell the Toyota Yaris/Cross for the month, with the Daihatsu Tanto (-9.5%) not far behind. Notice also the Nissan Roox (+35.1%), Mitsubishi Delica Mini/eK (+20.8%) and Nissan Dayz (+16.5%) all posting significant upticks.

Peugeot (+14.4%), Audi (+8.1%), Toyota (+2.6%) and Volvo (+2.2%) all defy the negative market with YoY upticks. Below, MG (+138.7%) shoots up to #14 while BYD (+2375%) breaks all its records at #22 with 198 sales and 1.3% share. Tesla is down a further -32.2% (it was already off -66.6% on the year prior in February 2025).

Over in the models charts, we have a clear leader in the VW Golf (+45.4%) sporting its first Swiss pole position in over 7 years: since December 2018! This is also the Golf’s third podium finish in the past 50 months. As a result the Golf takes the lead of the YTD ranking as well vs. #4 over the Full Year 2025. The Skoda Kodiaq (+3.5%) and VW Tiguan (-2.4%) are equal #2 with 2.1% share while the Audi Q3 (-17.9%) is down significantly YoY but back up four spots on January to #4. Leader last month, the BMW X1 (+13.6%) drops to #5 ahead of the Skoda Enyaq (+63%) and BMW X3 (+25.5%) both in outstanding shape. The Tesla Model Y is off -32.4% to #23 and ranks #39 year-to-date vs. #2 over the Full Year 2025.

Electric Love Bus Revolutionizes Metro Manila’s Commuting with Free, Eco-Friendly Rides and a Bold Green Future

Electric Love Bus Revolutionizes Metro Manila’s Commuting with Free, Eco-Friendly Rides and a Bold Green Future
Electric Love Bus program offers free rides

In a significant step towards modernizing public transportation in the Philippines, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and Global Electric Transport (GET) Philippines have announced their collaboration to launch the Electric Love Bus Program. This initiative, designed to offer free rides to commuters, is a major contribution to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s vision for a more modern, reliable, and sustainable transportation system.

The partnership aims to bring back the iconic Love Bus, a beloved symbol of 1970s Manila, but with a modern twist. Now, instead of its traditional combustion engines, the revamped Love Bus fleet will consist of fully electric, zero-emission vehicles, promoting a cleaner, quieter, and more sustainable alternative to traditional public transport options.

President Marcos’ Vision for Sustainable Transport

During his fourth State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasized the importance of improving the country’s public transport system. He revealed that his administration is committed to revitalizing the Love Bus and transforming it into a free public service for all commuters. The program not only aims to revive this cultural icon but also aligns with the president’s broader goals of reducing pollution, easing traffic congestion, and improving public transport accessibility.

This new partnership reflects a growing national effort to address the challenges of urban mobility. By making public transportation both sustainable and free of charge, the Electric Love Bus program seeks to alleviate the financial burdens and daily stress experienced by commuters in the country’s overcrowded cities.

A Sustainable and Modern Solution for Commuters

The Electric Love Bus initiative is expected to have a significant impact on the daily lives of Manila commuters. The program aims to provide free rides, contributing to President Marcos’ goal of offering affordable public transport options for all Filipinos. As a sustainable and eco-friendly option, the electric buses will offer an alternative to the conventional diesel buses, significantly reducing the amount of emissions and noise pollution on the roads.

According to MMDA Chairman Don Artes, the electric buses represent a cleaner, quieter, and more modern form of transportation. The new buses will not only reduce air pollution but will also ease traffic congestion, providing a more comfortable experience for passengers who can now enjoy a quieter ride. This move is seen as an important step toward creating a cleaner and more sustainable urban environment.

Collaboration with the Private Sector

The successful implementation and operation of the Electric Love Bus Program rely heavily on a strong collaboration between the government and private sector. Under the agreement, the MMDA will manage route planning, traffic enforcement, and infrastructure support, ensuring smooth operation of the service across the city. Meanwhile, GET Philippines will be responsible for the day-to-day management and maintenance of the electric fleet, making sure that the buses are well-maintained and run efficiently.

This partnership also has support from several corporate sponsors, including Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), Megaworld Corporation, Ortigas Land, and International Solid Waste Integrated Management Specialist, Inc. (ISWIMS). These corporations have expressed their full backing for the initiative, believing that their involvement will help ensure its long-term success and sustainability.

Corporate Support for Urban Development and Sustainability

The backing from major corporations, including RLC President Mybelle Aragon-Gobio, has been a critical factor in driving this initiative forward. Aragon-Gobio praised the partnership, highlighting the importance of both government leadership and private enterprise working together toward a shared vision of urban development and sustainability. The cooperation between these sectors is expected to propel the Electric Love Bus program into full operation, benefiting thousands of commuters in Metro Manila.

The commitment of these private entities underscores the growing recognition of sustainable transportation as a key element in modern urban planning and development. Their involvement not only supports the Electric Love Bus project but also signals a shift towards more green initiatives in the urban infrastructure space.

The Electric Fleet Hits the Road

The Electric Love Bus is set to hit the streets of Metro Manila by the last week of April or the first week of May. The fleet will consist of 10 electric buses, each capable of carrying 30 passengers. The buses will operate daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., providing essential service on routes that will ease the strain on overburdened public transport systems.

These electric buses will operate on selected routes that are key to alleviating traffic congestion and improving commuter experiences. The buses will be easily recognizable with their modern design and eco-friendly features, allowing them to make a bold statement about Manila’s commitment to cleaner transportation.

Benefits for Commuters and the City

With the introduction of the Electric Love Bus program, Metro Manila commuters will experience not only a more sustainable means of travel but also a comfortable and modern commuting option. The new buses are expected to significantly ease the daily commute, providing an efficient and eco-conscious alternative to the traditional modes of transport. With fewer emissions and quieter engines, the buses will help make the city a more livable place for everyone.

As the program progresses, its long-term impact will be measured in terms of reduced pollution, decreased traffic congestion, and the creation of a more accessible and reliable public transport system. The program is also expected to inspire further initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental impact of transportation in the Philippines.

Looking Ahead: A Greener Future for Metro Manila

The Electric Love Bus Program is just the beginning of what could become a much larger movement toward sustainable urban mobility in Metro Manila. With the support of the MMDA, GET Philippines, and its corporate sponsors, the initiative has the potential to revolutionize the way people travel in the city. As the program evolves, it is likely that more routes will be introduced, further expanding the reach and impact of this innovative initiative.

Motorola Razr Fold Camera Tested by DXOMARK: 164 Score Sets Foldable Record

Motorola Razr Fold

Motorola’s Razr fold has received a DXOMARK camera score of 164, earning the DXOMARK Gold Label for imaging performance. According to DXOMARK’s rankings, this score places the device among the top cameras on foldable smartphones and ranks it 8th overall globally, beating competitors like the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. Motorola’s recently launched Motorola Signature has also received the same label from the testing lab.

For those unaware, DXOMARK is an independent technology evaluation laboratory that measures the performance of consumer electronics using controlled scientific tests and perceptual analysis. To determine the score, the Razr fold was evaluated using the DXOMARK Camera test suite, which analyzes photo quality, zoom capability, and video performance from a user perspective.

In its findings, DXOMARK reported that the Razr fold performed well in exposure accuracy, dynamic range, and low-light photography. The device produced balanced colors across different lighting conditions, while maintaining good detail and relatively low image noise. The lab also observed accurate skin tone rendering and consistent depth estimation, which helped portrait shots appear natural.

Zoom performance was another area highlighted in the evaluation. The Razr fold includes a dedicated 3x periscope telephoto camera, which produced detailed images with stable color reproduction during testing. DXOMARK noted a balanced texture-to-noise ratio, which helped maintain clarity in zoomed images. Portrait photography also benefited from the 85mm equivalent focal length, which creates natural subject separation. The ultra-wide camera captured a wide field of view while maintaining consistent image quality.

The camera hardware on the Razr fold includes three 50MP rear cameras equipped with Sony LYTIA sensors. The 50MP main camera uses the Sony LYTIA 828 sensor, which Motorola describes as its largest 50MP sensor so far. The system supports AI-based image processing and produces photos with Pantone-validated color and skin tone calibration.

The 50MP periscope telephoto camera uses the Sony LYTIA 600 sensor and supports 3x optical zoom. The phone also offers 100x Super Zoom Pro, which relies on AI processing to maintain detail at long distances. Optical image stabilization is included to reduce blur in zoom shots. The 50MP ultra-wide camera provides a 122° field of view and supports Macro Vision for close-up photography.

For selfies and video calls, the device includes a 20MP front camera with Quad Pixel technology and a 32MP internal camera with Quad Pixel technology, which can be used in laptop mode for hands-free photos or video calls.

Video recording on the Razr fold supports 8K resolution with Dolby Vision, which allows higher dynamic range and improved color reproduction.

Image processing on the device is handled by Motorola’s Photo Enhancement Engine, which uses AI to expand dynamic range, reduce noise, and create software-based bokeh effects. The system also uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, which supports AI processing for camera performance and efficiency.

William Osula scores stunning stoppage time winner to end Michael Carrick’s unbeaten run

Super-sub William Osula scored a sensational 90th-minute solo goal to hand 10-man Newcastle United a 2-1 victory over Manchester United, ending Michael Carrick’s impressive unbeaten start as interim manager.

The dramatic win at St James’ Park snapped a three-game losing streak for Eddie Howe’s side and dealt a significant blow to the visitors’ hopes of cementing third place.

William Osula wonder goal stuns Manchester United

With the game locked at 1-1 and appearing to head for a draw, Osula, who had only been on the pitch for six minutes, produced a moment of pure magic.

Collecting a long pass from Kieran Trippier near the right touchline, the Denmark U21 international embarked on a lung-busting run, weaving past several defenders before cutting inside and curling a magnificent strike into the far corner beyond Senne Lammens.

WHAT A GOAL FROM WILLIAM OSULA! ?@tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/XmdXY5n8Ca

— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) March 4, 2026

Despite playing with a numerical disadvantage for over 45 minutes, the hosts remained composed, with Aaron Ramsdale producing two world-class saves to deny Man United.

The match turned on a frantic ten-minute spell at the end of the first half. Newcastle were reduced to 10 men in the 41st minute when Jacob Ramsey was controversially shown a second yellow card for simulation.

However, just minutes later, Anthony Gordon put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot after being fouled by Bruno Fernandes.

The lead was short-lived, as Manchester United responded in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

Fernandes turned provider, whipping in a pinpoint free-kick for Casemiro to power home a header and send the teams in level at the break.

Carrick’s unbeaten run comes to an end

The defeat marks the first for Michael Carrick since taking over the reins in January, ending an eight-game unbeaten streak across his two spells as caretaker boss.

United had arrived in Tyneside full of confidence, having won 19 of a possible 21 points under Carrick, but they lacked the clinical edge required to break down a resilient 10-man defense.

While United remain in a strong position for Champions League qualification, they failed to capitalise on Liverpool’s defeat to Wolves and Aston Villa’s defeat to Chelsea.

Samsung’s Texas factory to double AI6 chip production for Tesla

Tesla is planning to more than double its orders of AI6 chips from Samsung. Last year, Tesla and Samsung signed a deal for Samsung to make 16,000 AI6 wafers per month. Now, Tesla has reportedly asked for an extra 24,000 wafers, bringing the total to 40,000 wafers per month.

The chips will be made at Samsung’s new factory in Taylor, Texas. The original contract lasts eight years and could earn Samsung about KRW 2-3 trillion per year. With the bigger order, Samsung’s revenue and profits could increase even more.

Tesla plans to use the AI6 chips in its self-driving cars, the Optimus robot, and Tesla’s AI data centers. The AI6 chips are expected to replace Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer, which runs several chips together on one server board.

Samsung Tesla

Samsung Tesla

This year, Tesla is investing heavily in AI and robotics. The company said it will spend over $20 billion in 2026, almost double its usual annual spending of $8–11 billion. This shows Tesla is serious about improving its autonomous driving and robot technology.

Samsung and Tesla have worked together since 2019. Samsung made Tesla’s AI3, AI4, and part of AI5 chips. Now, AI6 production will return fully to Samsung. Tesla is also following a “No China, No Taiwan” policy for important parts, making Samsung’s Texas factory a safe choice.

The partnership is growing beyond chips. Samsung’s System LSI division has developed a 5G modem for Tesla cars, which will first be used in Texas robotaxis.

Australia February 2026: China becomes #1 source country, Toyota off -27.8% to lowest share in 3 years

The Chery Tiggo 4 is up to #3 year-to-date in Australia.

New vehicle sales in Australia are down -2.7% year-on-year in February to 94,131 units, leading to a year-to-date volume off -1.3% to 181,884. Petrol sales fall -17.7% to 33,309, diesel limits its fall to -1.6% and 26,963 units and HEVs are off -9.6% to 13,868 but PHEVs soar 20.2% to 5,854. The best performing propulsion is by far BEVs: up a stunning 95.9% to 11,134 for a record 11.8% market share. SUVs stabilise their share at 60.3% vs. 60.4% in February 2025 due to sales down -2.9% to 56,767. Light commercials are also in negative at -0.7% to 21,191 and 22.5% share vs. 22.1% a year ago and passenger cars edge down -2.4% to 13,170 and 14% share vs. 13.9% last year. Meanwhile heavy commercials are off -12.9% to 3,003 and 3.2% share vs. 3.6% a year ago.

If Victoria is stable (24,732) all other regions are in negative this month (excluding Tesla and Polestar). New South Wales is down -7.6% to 27,524, Queensland down -2.8% to 19,644, Western Australia off -3.9% to 9,841, South Australia at -8.7% to 5,673, Tasmania down -6.4% to 1,384, Australian Capital Territory down -18.7% to 1,187 and Northern Territory off -15.8% to 727. Worryingly, private sales trail the market at -7.7% to 45,182 but fleet sales do the same at -3.4% to 34,444. Only rental sales are dynamic at +35.4% to 5,786 while government sales are down -13.4% to 2,297. The big event of the month is China becoming the biggest source of cars sold in Australia, thanks to sales up 50.5% to 25,781. Meanwhile, Japan is down -31.3% to 21,671, Thailand is up 6.7% to 19,493, South Korea down -2.9% to 11,913 and Germany up 9.8% to 4,272.

The new generation has so far failed to boost Hilux sales in Australia.

After losing -22.3% in January, Toyota (-27.8%) continues its fall to hell with just 14.5% share this month, its lowest in three years: since March 2023 when it hit 13.6% (January 2026 share was incorrect and amended to 16.3%). Toyota suffers from RAV4’s stock drying up (-83.6%) before the new generation hits dealerships at the end of March, and an imploding Prado (-53.3%). Mazda (-19.9%) is also in a rut but manages to stay in 2nd place with 7.5% share. Ford (+9%) is solid and back up one spot on last month to #3 but is stuck in 4th place year-to-date (#2 over the Full Year 2025). Kia (+0.04%) is stable but sister brand Hyundai (+4.5%) is catching up. BYD (+62.2%) lodges another fantastic score and stays in 6th place above a struggling Mitsubishi (-22.3%). Below GWM (+24.9%) at 5% share, Chery (+93.2%) manages an incredible 13th consecutive record volume at 3,938. Isuzu Ute (+23.7%) is also strong while Tesla (+105.7%) is resurgent at #11. A couple of Chinese carmakers make themselves noticed: newcomer Geely breaks its ranking, volume and share records, Zeekr is up 560.6% and Denza lands at #32 with 309 sales.

Model-wise, the Ford Ranger (+7.1%) delivers a satisfying performance at #1, widening the gap with the Toyota Hilux (+0.2%) which has (so far?) failed to benefit from its new generation. The Tesla Model Y (+202.1%) triples its sales year-on-year and shoots up to #3, its highest ranking since last September (#3 also). The Chery Tiggo 4 (+116.8%) repeats at a record #4, a ranking it has held for three of the past four months. It also equals its all-time high share (2.5%) and breaks its volume record (2,315), climbing to #3 year-to-date. The Mazda CX-5 (+8.6%) once again shows surprising form given it will be replaced by a new generation later this year. The GWM Haval Jolion (+38.1%) stays inside the Top 10 with the Ford Everest (+47.3%) and Hyundai Tucson (+15.8%) also showing brilliant form.

Romania February 2026: Chery in Top 10, Dacia Bigster up to #2

The Dacia Bigster holds a record 5.8% of its home market in February.

The Romanian new car market continues on its mediocre start of the year with February off a further -24.3% year-on-year to 8,965 units. The year-to-date tally is down -28.9% to 16,892. Dacia (-52.3%) halves its year-ago volume to 18.8% share vs. 29.8% a year ago in February 2025. Toyota (-11.4%) and Skoda (-1.5%) follow and gain share year-on-year while Volkswagen (-25.1%) matches the market and complete a Top 4 unchanged on last month. The performer of the month is newcomer Chery, launched last July, already breaking into the Top 10 with 3.5% share. BYD is also impressive at #12 and 2.8% share but is down from a record #9 hit last month.

Over in the models charts, the Dacia Duster (-52%) holds onto the first place with 6% share, its lowest since last October. The Dacia Bigster (+1811.1%) celebrates one year in market with a record 2nd place and 5.8% share, a new all time high as well and smashing its previous best of 3.8% reached last November. The Toyota Corolla (+36.2%) defies the negative surroundings and climbs two spots on January to score its first ever Romanian podium finish. The Skoda Octavia (-13.9%) drops two ranks to #4, followed by an imploding Dacia Logan (-66.2%) at #5, the nameplate’s lowest ever ranking. The Skoda Kodiaq (+68.4%), Ford Puma (+65.6%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (+12.6%) shine below. The best-selling recent launch is the Chery Tiggo 4 at #14 ahead of the BYD Dolphin Surf at #20 and the Chery Tiggo 8 at #26.

Previous month: Romania January 2026: Dacia Duster and Skoda Octavia top mediocre market (-33.5%)

Motorola Launches Moto Buds 2 Plus with Sound by Bose and Moto Buds 2 with 48-Hour Battery

Motorola has introduced two new wireless earbuds at MWC 2026 as part of its Moto Things ecosystem. The new models are the Moto Buds 2 Plus and the Moto Buds 2. Both earbuds focus on delivering strong audio performance, active noise cancellation, and smart features in a compact design with Pantone color finishes.

moto buds 2 plus

The Moto Buds 2 Plus are designed for users who move between work, calls, and entertainment throughout the day. The earbuds use Sound by Bose technology, tuned to deliver balanced and detailed audio.

They feature 11mm dynamic drivers for deeper bass and Knowles balanced armatures for improved clarity and precision. The earbuds support Hi-Res Audio with the Low-Latency High-Definition Audio Codec (LHDC) for high-quality wireless playback. Spatial Audio is also included to create a more immersive sound experience.

moto buds 2

To reduce distractions, the Moto Buds 2 Plus include Dynamic Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This helps block outside noise while working or traveling. For calls, the earbuds use six microphones with Environmental Noise Cancellation and a high signal-to-noise ratio to deliver clearer voice audio. Users can also enable CrystalTalk AI in the Moto Buds app, which uses AI noise reduction to improve voice clarity in loud environments.

Battery life is rated at up to 9 hours on a single charge, with up to 40 hours of total playback when using the charging case. The earbuds support Dual Connection, allowing them to stay connected to two devices at the same time. Users can move between a laptop and a phone without reconnecting. The Audio Share feature lets two pairs of Moto Buds 2 Plus connect to one phone to listen together. Wear Detection automatically pauses audio when the earbuds are removed.

Users can customize touch controls for play, pause, track skipping, calls, or launching a voice assistant. On compatible Motorola devices, holding the earbuds activates Moto AI features such as Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This. AI-powered translation is also supported on select devices.

The Moto Buds 2 are aimed at everyday listening. They use 11mm dynamic drivers and 6mm micro planar magnetic drivers and support Hi-Res Audio with LHDC. Spatial Audio is also supported for more immersive playback.

They include Dynamic ANC rated up to 55dB, along with Transparency Mode so users can hear their surroundings when needed. The earbuds also feature six microphones with Environmental Noise Cancellation for clear voice calls.

Battery life reaches up to 11 hours on a single charge and up to 48 hours total with the charging case. A 10-minute charge provides up to 3 hours of playback.

The Moto Buds 2 support Dual Connection and use Bluetooth 6.0 for improved connectivity and faster speeds. A Gaming Mode in the Moto Buds app reduces audio latency for gaming. On supported Motorola devices, users can also access Moto AI features such as Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Remember This by holding the earbuds.

Availability

The Moto Buds 2 Plus start at €149/£130 and will launch in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia Pacific in the coming weeks. Color options include PANTONE Cool White and PANTONE Silhouette.

The Moto Buds 2 start at €79 and will also launch in the same regions. They will be available in PANTONE Carbon, PANTONE Violet Ice, and PANTONE Gray Mist.

Belgium February 2026: BYD (+119.3%), Opel (+37.5%) can’t prevent another market fall (-7.7%)

Opel sales are up 37.5% year-on-year in February.

It’s another difficult month for the Belgian new car market with February volume down -7.7% year-on-year to 37,075. This brings the year-to-date tally down -13.2% to 70,072, already more than 10,000 units below the same period in 2025. Encouragingly though, private sales register a year-on-year uptick at +1.6% to 19,909 units whereas fleet sales are down -16.5% to 20,568. Petrol sales are up to 17,527 and 47.3% share whereas BEVs (31.5% share) and HEVs (18.9%) are both down.

In the brands charts, Volkswagen (-4%) resists better than the market and holds onto the top spot with 10.1% share vs. 9.6% last month. Leader over the Full Year 2025, BMW (-23.2%) freefalls to 8.9% share while Renault (-25.9%) is also in a rut even though it gains three spots on January to #3. Peugeot (+11.2%), Dacia (+9%) and Mercedes (+4.3%) defy the negative context with YoY lifts, but it’s Opel (+37.5%) that delivers the best performance in the Top 10, up to #10 vs. #16 over the Full Year 2025. BYD (+119.3%) stands out below, while Tesla its back up 14.2% to #13.

Previous month: Belgium January 2026: Sales down -18.7%

Slovakia January 2026: Suzuki (+76.3%), Opel (+51.4%) defy weak market (-15.4%)

Opel Mokka sales triple year-on-year in January.

Only 5,591 new cars found a buyer in Slovakia in January, a poor -15.4% year-on-year drop. Keep in mind January 2025 was already down -16.8% on the year prior. The top 2 best-selling carmakers resist better than the market: Skoda is off -1.7% to 21.4% share vs. 20.1% over the Full Year 2025 and Volkswagen edges down -3.3% to 11% share vs. 9.5%. Hyundai (-46.9%), Kia (-39.6%) and Toyota (-23.2%) are all pummelled below. In contrast Suzuki (+76.3%) and Opel (+51.4%) completely ignore the depressed environment and climb to #9 and #7 respectively. Alfa Romeo (+581.8%), Fiat (+275.9%) and Nissan (+107.5%) stand out further down.

Over in the models charts, the Skoda Octavia (-6.6%) holds onto the lead with 4.8% share, distancing a surging Toyota Corolla (+44%) up 9 spots on December to #2. The Skoda Fabia (-21.1%) ranks #3 ahead of the Kia Ceed (-42.1%) which was #1 a year ago. The Skoda Kamiq (+44.3%), Hyundai Tucson (+33%) and Nissan Qashqai (+138.3%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10. Other spectacular gainers include the VW T-Roc (+263.3%), Suzuki Vitara (+218.5%), Opel Mokka (+192.6%) and Suzuki S-Cross (+105.7%).

France February 2026: Citroen C3 best-seller, Renault Clio VI back outside Top 10

The Citroen C3 is the most popular vehicle in France in February.

It’s another horrendous month for new car registrations in France, with February off -14.7% year-on-year to just 120,764 units. The year-to-date tally is now off -11.1% to 227,921. Keep in mind 2025 was the weakest year since 1975, so we are entering even worse territory now. Petrol sales sink -48.1% to 18,206 and 15.1% share vs. 24.8% share a year ago and diesel crashes -53.8% to 3,098 and 2.6% share vs. 4.7^ in February 2025. HEVs drop -16.2% to 52,069 and 43.1% share vs. 43.9% last year, PHEVs edge up 3.2% to 6,655 and 5.5% share vs. 4.6% a year ago. Finally BEVs surge 27.8% to 32,371 and 26.8% share vs. 17.9% in February 2025. Year-to-date, petrol drops -48.5% to 33,532 and 14.7% share vs. 25.4% over the same period in 2025, diesel is off -51.8% to 5,619 and 2.5% share vs. 4.6%, HEVs edge down -4.9% to 108,061 and 47.4% share vs. 44.3%, PHEVs step up 1.5% to 11,476 and 5% share vs. 4.4% and BEVs surge 38.5% to 62,679 and 27.5% share vs. 17.7% over the first 2 months of 2025. 

Best result since last September for the Tesla Model Y.

Renault (-16.5%) and Peugeot (-20.7%) both disappoint and fall faster than the market to 16.9% and 14.7% share respectively. For once Citroen (+0.9%) braves the negative context and stays in third place with 9.7% share. Even though it rallies back up two spots on January, Dacia (-36.3%) remains in hell year-on-year with just 6.8% share vs. 9.1% a year ago in February 2025. This situation is uncharacteristic for the low cost brand and is starting to be a little worrying. Volkswagen (-21%) stays at #5 while Toyota (-19%) is down two ranks to #6. BMW (-27.2%) is up three spots on January to #7 but struggles year-on-year, while Skoda (+5.9%) is strong once again at #8. The winners of the month are Tesla (+55.1%) up 16 ranks on last month to #9 with 3.1% share, the carmaker’s best result since last September, Opel (+51.1%) and Fiat (+60.6%). Further down, MG is estimated to gain 8.3% at #17 and BYD should grow by 82.7% at #22. 

The new generation Citroen C5 Aircross is up to a record #16.

We have a surprise in the models charts: the Citroen C3 (-25.9%) snaps the pole position despite freefalling year-on-year, with 24% of its February volume coming from the e-C3 BEV. This is the third time the C3 nameplate is #1 in France after October 2019 and January 2025. Note that like in 2019, the C3 benefits from the Clio generation changeover (the Clio nameplate would be #1 this month). The C3  outsells the Peugeot 208 (-29.5%) in even worse shape while the Peugeot 2008 (-20.8%) is up to #3, its best ranking since July 2022. Now discontinued, the Renault Clio V logically drops -55.9% to #4, followed by a crashing Dacia Sandero (-41.3%). In contrast the Tesla Model Y (+74.6%) surges ahead to #7 and 2.5% share and back to the BEV pole position above the Renault 5 (-13%) at #9. Up to #7 in January, the Renault Clio VI falls back to #11 as the “true” sales begin after a public launch in January when demo sales accounted for the large majority of its volume. The new Citroen C5 Aircross II is up to a record #16 whereas the Renault 4 falls 15 ranks to #44.

Previous month: France January 2026: BEV sales up 52.1%, Renault Clio VI in Top 10

One year ago: France February 2025: Renault (+20.4%) reclaims control in stable market

Nikolo Rovella əməliyyat olundu

İtaliyanın “Latsio” klubunun yarımmüdafiəçisi Nikolo Rovella sağ körpücük sümüyünün sınığı səbəbindən əməliyyat olunub.

Arena.az bu barədə paytaxt təmsilçisinin mətbuat xidmətinə istinadən xəbər verir.

Əməliyyat uğurla keçib. Onun yaxın günlərdə xüsusi reabilitasiya proqramına başlayacağı bildirilir.

İtaliya millisinin 24 yaşlı üzvü fevralın 21-də A Seriyasının 26-cı turunda “Kalyari”yə qarşı keçirdikləri görüşdə (0:0) xəsarət almışdı.

Nikolo Rovella müqavilə ilə İtaliyanın digər klubu “Yuventus”dan “Latsio”ya keçib. O, əvvəlcə icarə müqaviləsi əsasında “Latsio”da çıxış etsə də, paytaxt klubu 17 milyon avro ödəməklə onun transfer hüquqlarını da alıb.

Rovella cari mövsümdə cəmi 9 matçda iştirak edib. O, ötən ilin sentyabrından bu ilin yanvarına qədər osteomielit xəstəliyi səbəbindən yaşıl meydanlardan uzaq qalmışdı.

“Cenoa”nın yetirməsi olan Nikolo “Montsa”da da çıxış edib. Onun “Latsio” karyerası bütövlükdə 83 oyun və 7 məhsuldar ötürmədən ibarətdir.

Rovella 2024-cü ildə debüt etdiyi İtaliya millisinin heyətində 4 oyun keçirib.

Red Sea Global and Bunat VC to launch AI venture fund

Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, has announced a strategic partnership with Bunat Ventures Limited (Bunat VC) to launch a first-of-its-kind venture fund focused on artificial intelligence (AI)-driven startups in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The AI Venture Fund will invest in early- and growth-stage startups that are either AI-native or leverage AI as a core enabler of their business models. Over the next three years, the Fund aims to support approximately 25 startups through both pre-seed and growth-stage investments. Beyond capital, the Fund will provide investee companies—particularly those based in Saudi Arabia—with access to world-class infrastructure and a state-of-the-art environment to pilot and validate their technologies within RSG’s real-world operations. This partnership is designed to accelerate the development of these startups into national and regional champions in the AI ecosystem.

“At Red Sea Global, we view innovation as a catalyst for a regenerative future. This partnership with Bunat VC reflects our belief that technology is fundamental to sustainability, enabling us to invest in bold ideas that will accelerate the Kingdom’s digital transformation and inspire global progress”, said Sultan Moraished, Group Head of Technology and Corporate Excellence at Red Sea Global.

With a focus on Saudi-based entrepreneurs and Saudi-founded global ventures expanding into the Kingdom, the Fund aims to unlock new pathways for innovation, job creation, and digital excellence. It is expected to act as a catalyst for the local innovation ecosystem, fostering collaboration between investors, academia, and technology partners. It will also attract global talent and promote knowledge exchange to ensure long-term value creation and sustainable growth.

Khaled Zainalabedin, CEO and Managing Partner at Bunat VC, added: “Our collaboration with Red Sea Global brings together visionary development and agile venture capital. Together, we are building a platform to empower the next generation of Saudi AI pioneers who will redefine industries, shape communities, and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s leadership in the global innovation arena.”

RSG welcomed its first guests to The Red Sea in 2023 and now operates 10 resorts, as well as Red Sea International Airport (RSI), which receives regular flights from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, and Doha. This year, Shura Island, the heart of The Red Sea, is opening its first resorts, as well as Shura Links, an 18-hole championship golf course.
