Thitikul beats Yin in dramatic finish to LPGA finaleBANGKOK — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan will attempt to merge and create the world's third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Honda will initially lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. Following is a quick look at what a combined Honda and Nissan would mean for the companies, and for the auto industry.

Relatively inexpensive EVs from China's BYD, Great Wall and Nio are eating into the market shares of U.S. and Japanese car companies in China and elsewhere. People are also reading... Japanese automakers have lagged behind big rivals in EVs and are now trying to cut costs and make up for lost time. Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi announced in August that they will share components for electric vehicles like batteries and jointly research software for autonomous driving to adapt better to dramatic changes in the auto industry centered around electrification. A preliminary agreement between Honda, Japan's second-largest automaker, and Nissan, third largest, was announced in March. A merger could result in a behemoth worth about $55 billion based on the market capitalization of all three automakers. Joining forces would help the smaller Japanese automakers add scale to compete with Japan's market leader Toyota Motor Corp. and with Germany's Volkswagen AG. Toyota itself has technology partnerships with Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. and Subaru Corp.

Nissan has truck-based body-on-frame large SUVs such as the Armada and Infiniti QX80 that Honda doesn't have, with large towing capacities and good off-road performance, said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. Nissan also has years of experience building batteries and electric vehicles, and gas-electric hybird powertrains that could help Honda in developing its own EVs and next generation of hybrids, he said.

While Nissan's electric Leaf and Ariya haven't sold well in the U.S., they're solid vehicles, Fiorani said. "They haven't been resting on their laurels, and they have been developing this technology," he said. "They have new products coming that could provide a good platform for Honda for its next generation." Why now? Nissan said last month that it was slashing 9,000 jobs, or about 6% of its global work force, and reducing global production capacity by 20% after reporting a quarterly loss of 9.3 billion yen ($61 million). Earlier this month it reshuffled its management and its chief executive, Makoto Uchida, took a 50% pay cut to take responsibility for the financial woes, saying Nissan needed to become more efficient and respond better to market tastes, rising costs and other global changes. Fitch Ratings recently downgraded Nissan's credit outlook to "negative," citing worsening profitability, partly due to price cuts in the North American market. But it noted that it has a strong financial structure and solid cash reserves that amounted to 1.44 trillion yen ($9.4 billion). Nissan's share price has fallen to the point where it is considered something of a bargain. A report in the Japanese financial magazine Diamond said talks with Honda gained urgency after the Taiwan maker of iPhones Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., better known as Foxconn, began exploring a possible acquisition of Nissan as part of its push into the EV sector. The company has struggled for years following a scandal that began with the arrest of its former chairman Carlos Ghosn in late 2018 on charges of fraud and misuse of company assets, allegations that he denies. He eventually was released on bail and fled to Lebanon. Honda reported its profits slipped nearly 20% in the first half of the April-March fiscal year from a year earlier, as sales suffered in China. More headwinds Toyota made 11.5 million vehicles in 2023, while Honda rolled out 4 million and Nissan produced 3.4 million. Mitsubishi Motors made just over 1 million. Even after a merger Toyota would remain the leading Japanese automaker. All the global automakers are facing potential shocks if President-elect Donald Trump follows through on threats to raise or impose tariffs on imports of foreign products, even from allies like Japan and neighboring countries like Canada and Mexico. Nissan is among the major car companies that have adjusted their supply chains to include vehicles assembled in Mexico. Meanwhile, analysts say there is an "affordability shift" taking place across the industry, led by people who feel they cannot afford to pay nearly $50,000 for a new vehicle. In American, a vital market for companies like Nissan, Honda and Toyota, that's forcing automakers to consider lower pricing, which will eat further into industry profits. ____ AP Auto Writer Tom Krisher contributed to this report from Detroit. The safest cars in 2025 The safest cars in 2025 Airbags, advanced driver assistance features, and high-strength materials mean that the safest cars today are far better at protecting people from injuries than ever before. Although most new cars compare well to their predecessors, some stand above the rest. The safest cars for 2025 offer excellent occupant protection and also do a good job of preventing accidents from happening in the first place.Based on testing data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, or IIHS, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, these are some of the safest cars available today. Ranging from inexpensive compact cars and mainstream midsize sedans to stylish station wagons, posh luxury cars, and sporty coupes and convertibles, Edmunds shares a list that has something for just about everyone. For those who prefer a higher seating position and maybe some added practicality, Edmunds' list of safest SUVs is for you. Toyota Safest Small Cars 2025 Mazda 3The stylish Mazda 3 has a lot to offer compact-car shoppers, including great looks, a composed driving experience, and reasonable fuel economy from its base 2.0-liter engine. It's also one of the safest cars in its class, earning a perfect five stars in NHTSA crash testing and sterling crashworthiness and collision avoidance scores from the IIHS. Its standard features are forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure prevention.Base price: $25,135NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 7.6 (out of 10)2025 Honda CivicWith mature styling, a premium interior, and an efficient hybrid powertrain option, the 2025 Honda Civic is a great option if safety is a concern since it aces almost all of the IIHS' crash tests and earns a five-star safety rating from the federal government. It also comes standard with adaptive cruise control, lane departure prevention, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Civic falls short slightly in the IIHS' updated moderate overlap front test, which now accounts for rear passenger safety, but even so, it's one of the safest cars in its class.Base price: $25,345NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.2 (out of 10)2025 Mini CooperReflective of parent company BMW, today's Mini Cooper is well constructed and features premium safety features that belie its small size, including automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning. Although the Mini hasn't been tested by NHTSA, the IIHS gives the Cooper its highest score of Good in the original driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, and side-impact tests. That said, the IIHS doesn't place the Cooper on its Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ lists since it hasn't been evaluated on the updated battery of passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, or side-impact tests. Expect the new-for-2025 Mini Cooper to earn decent crash ratings in those scenarios, especially since it shares its strong platform with the outgoing model.Base price: $33,195NHTSA rating: not testedIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 7.5 (out of 10)2025 Toyota PriusWith its recent redesign, the Toyota Prius transformed from a frumpy little caterpillar to a stylish and efficient butterfly. It also became a very safe hybrid hatchback. Perfect scores in all of its government and IIHS crash tests, as well as a sophisticated system of collision avoidance technology, earn it top marks. It's also one of our favorite cars on the market, period, as evidenced by its status as a 2024 Edmunds Top Rated vehicle.Base price (2024): $29,045NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10) Honda 2025 Mazda 3 2025 Honda Civic 2025 Mini Cooper 2025 Toyota Prius Safest Midsize Cars 2025 Honda AccordThe Honda Accord is among the safest midsize sedans on the market today thanks to excellent crashworthiness scores and a competent standard collision prevention system. It's a Top Safety Pick+, beating out rivals like the Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, and Subaru Legacy, and the Accord also earns a perfect five-star rating from NHTSA. Honda's hybrid-intensive product planning is on full display here—all but the two lowest Accord trims have a hybrid powertrain—and it's also among the most spacious cars in its class.Base price: $29,390NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10)2025 Toyota CamryLike its Honda Accord rival, the Toyota Camry is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ with a five-star NHTSA rating. It also has a very impressive suite of driver assistance and safety technology, including lane departure prevention with active centering, full-speed adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. The Camry edges out the Accord in IIHS testing thanks to a more effective collision avoidance system, but both cars are remarkably well matched otherwise. Base price: $29,495NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6The fully electric Hyundai Ioniq 6 offers excellent safety and collision prevention, with excellent scores across the entire line of IIHS tests. The Ioniq 6 hasn't been tested for rollover resistance by NHTSA, but it earned a four-star front safety rating and a five-star side-impact rating in government tests. Like most EVs, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure prevention. It also offers up to 342 miles of all-electric driving in its longest-range trim level.Base price: $38,900NHTSA rating: not ratedIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10) Hyundai 2025 Honda Accord 2025 Toyota Camry 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Safest Luxury Cars 2025 Acura IntegraThe Acura Integra is a close mechanical cousin to the Honda Civic, so it's no surprise it does well in both the IIHS' and NHTSA's crash tests. The luxury hatchback is a Top Safety Pick+ and earns a perfect five stars in government testing. The AcuraWatch safety suite is standard on the Integra, bringing automatic emergency braking, lane centering, lane departure prevention, and adaptive cruise control. Base price: $34,195NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 7.4 (out of 10)2025 Mercedes-Benz C-ClassThe Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a safe option in the popular small luxury sedan segment thanks to its good scores in IIHS crash testing. Mercedes' best-selling sedan also comes standard with automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning, which helps it earn a Top Safety Pick award. However, it hasn't been tested by the NHTSA.Base price: $49,600NHTSA rating: not ratedIIHS rating: Top Safety PickEdmunds Rating: 7.9 (out of 10)2025 Genesis G80Both the Genesis G80 and the fully electric Genesis Electrified G80 earn a Top Safety Pick+ score from the IIHS thanks to their good scores on the agency's crash tests, as well as a comprehensive suite of active safety features that avoided collisions with simulated pedestrians. The internal-combustion-engine G80 earned a perfect five-star safety rating from NHTSA, and although the Electrified G80 hasn't been tested by the feds just yet, it should likely excel in those tests too.Base price: $58,350NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10)2025 Genesis G90The flagship Genesis G90 sedan competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series, and the South Korean automaker clearly hasn't skimped on safety in its fight against the establishment. Although it hasn't been subjected to the NHTSA array of tests, it aced almost all of its IIHS tests, and a long list of standard active safety and driver assistance features sets it apart from the stingy German makes that charge extra for them.Base price: $90,450NHTSA rating: not ratedIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10) Genesis 2025 Acura Integra 2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2025 Genesis G80 2025 Genesis G90 Safest Station Wagons 2025 Volvo V60With handsome styling and a well-finished interior, the Volvo V60 is a very appealing station wagon for those looking for such a thing. It's also quite safe, with good crashworthiness scores in the IIHS' original moderate overlap front and side-impact scores. Unfortunately, since it hasn't been tested with the updated versions of those tests, it didn't earn this year's Top Safety Pick award, but it was called a Top Safety Pick+ in 2022. NHTSA also gives the V60 a five-star safety rating.Base price: $51,495NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 7.9 (out of 10)2025 Mercedes-Benz E 450 All-TerrainAlthough the Mercedes-Benz E 450 All-Terrain isn't a traditional wagon — it follows the lifted almost-crossover formula shared with the Audi A6 Allroad and Volvo V90 Cross Country — we'll take what we can get in this dwindling category. The All-Terrain hasn't been tested by the IIHS or NHTSA, but a previous-generation E-Class earned a 2023 Top Safety Pick+ award, and Mercedes isn't the kind of company that goes backward when it comes to safety. The E 450 All-Terrain comes standard with automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning, though, at this price, Benz should just make other active safety features standard.Base price: $75,850NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: Top Safety Pick+Edmunds Rating: 8.5 (out of 10)2025 Audi A6 AllroadWith a five-star NHTSA safety rating, standard forward collision warning and emergency braking, and excellent IIHS crashworthiness scores on its original tests, the Audi A6 Allroad does a good job protecting people (both passengers and pedestrians) from crashes. However, since the IIHS hasn't subjected the Allroad to its updated side and moderate front crash criteria, it lost its Top Safety Pick+ status in 2022. Still, it should be a fine option for luxury longroof shoppers.Base price: $70,395NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 7.6 (out of 10) Audi 2025 Volvo V60 2025 Mercedes-Benz E 450 All-Terrain 2025 Audi A6 Allroad Safest Coupes and Convertibles 2025 Ford MustangBoth the Ford Mustang coupe and convertible perform well in crash testing. The coupe received a five-star safety rating from NHTSA, and both variants scored decently on all the IIHS tests they've undergone. They also come standard with forward collision warning, lane departure prevention, and automatic emergency braking. However, the IIHS needs to test both models on its updated criteria before it will rate them.Base price: $33,515NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 7.9 (out of 10)2025 Toyota GR86Although the government hasn't tested it, the Toyota GR86 aced all of its IIHS crashworthiness tests when it was new for the 2022 model year. Unfortunately, since it hasn't been subjected to the IIHS' updated testing since then, it lost its Top Safety Pick+ status. Still, this is a fun-to-drive, sporty coupe that comes standard with a long list of active safety features, and it's reasonably priced to boot.Base price: $31,085NHTSA rating: not ratedIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 8.2 (out of 10)2025 Subaru BRZMechanically identical to the Toyota GR86, the 2025 Subaru BRZ achieves the same safety ratings—who would have thought? It likewise received a Top Safety Pick+ score in 2022 that lapsed when the IIHS updated its criteria for 2023, but like the Toyota, it has a long list of active safety features to go along with its lightweight, rip-roaring sports car attitude.Base price: $32,365NHTSA rating: not ratedIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: 8.3 (out of 10)2025 Audi A5The Audi A5 lost its traditional two-door coupe body style after 2024, but the five-door Sportback body style remains before it's replaced later in 2025. Although it hasn't seen the IIHS' more stringent test regimen, its original crashworthiness scores were good enough to earn it a Top Safety Pick award as recently as 2022. The Sportback is the only variant to be tested by the government, where it earned a five-star safety rating.Base price: $49,965NHTSA rating: five starsIIHS rating: not ratedEdmunds Rating: not ratedThis story was produced by Edmunds and reviewed and distributed by Stacker.

A man who went missing in May 2023 from outside the University Hospital of Wales has been found after 18 months of his family's tireless searching. Shane Barnett was last seen on May 7, 2023 on CCTV at Allensbank Road, just outside the hospital, and then disappeared. Since then his family have been looking for him every day and have issued a number of emotional appeals in the hope someone might have information about his whereabouts. Now South Wales Police have issued an update saying Shane has been found and thanked all those who helped in the appeal to find the 49-year-old. One Facebook , Sunday November 24, South Wales Police shared: "Shane Barnett, 49, who was reported as missing in May last year has been found. Thank you to everyone who shared our appeals." Shane's mother, Diane Bush who has spent the past 18 months alongside her family and SWP searching for her son also thanked all those who helped with locating Shane. She wrote on the Facebook post: "I cannot thank you all for all your shares over the last 18mths, and as for the police, I cannot thank you enough, you have never given up looking and followed up on any leads, and in the end you found him , thank you so much." In September South Wales Police put out an artist's impression of Shane 15 months after he disappeared. His sister, Nicola Casey said at the time police told the family that he may no longer be alive, but she refuses to believe it until he's found. She told WalesOnline at the time: "I have spent hours daily searching every inch of Cardiff since he went missing. I've put posters up, I've posted his picture on any Cardiff social media pages I could find. I've had many people message me with possible sightings which I'm so grateful for, I've gone there to check and unfortunately it hasn't been him but I won't stop checking."

Seemingly drunk on his own power in a , the gang leader has issued death threats against everyone from the country’s interim government to international peacekeepers. But telegraphing his next operational move in a public video this week proved disastrous for him and his Vivre Ensemble alliance of trigger-happy thugs, after it gave police and vigilantes a chance to prepare their fightback. In the video, Cherizier said that his men would target any hotels in Petionville, an affluent suburb in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, hosting members of the transitional council, a panel charged with organising the country’s first elections in a decade. Describing them as “oligarchs”, he said the only way they could save themselves would be by stepping down. A few hours later, in the small hours on Tuesday, two trucks carrying dozens of his heavily-armed men swung into Petionville, one of them parking across the main road into the suburb to block residents from fleeing. Dawn revealed a scene of carnage. Yet it was the gangsters who had paid the heaviest price for their attempts to terrorise the suburb. Their mutilated corpses littered the streets. Some had been decapitated. Others had had their feet hacked off. There was also a pile of smouldering bodies which neighbours had set alight. At least 28 Vivre Ensemble members are confirmed to have died. Martine Villeneuve, country director for the charity Action Against Hunger, said shooting and shouting could be heard around Petionville from 2am to 11am as the vigilantes and police repulsed wave after wave of Vivre Ensemble attacks. “The self-defence groups in the neighbourhoods were carrying out a manhunt for anyone associated with the gangs. Tuesday was a long night. It was very disturbing,” she told The Telegraph. Vigilantes protecting their families from the gangs that target them with , is not new in Haiti, where the police force is undermanned, riddled with corruption and outgunned by the gangsters. The vigilante movement is known as Bwa Kale and has even inspired musical tributes with machine gun-like drum mixes. Typically, residents and local business owners club together to arm neighbourhood self-defence groups, meaning that Petionville’s self-appointed defenders may have been better equipped than those in poorer districts. “The auto-defence groups are trying to protect their neighbourhoods. They put barricades in the street and control who enters and leaves,” said Ms Villeneuve. “They know who lives there, and which organisations are trying to help, but they stop anyone suspicious.” Yet fighting back against the gangs is a high-stakes strategy. One of the worst massacres since the current bout of bloodshed broke out in Haiti in February came in September in the small town of Pont-Sondé after locals dismantled a “toll booth” that the Gran Grif gang had placed on a nearby road. The gang responded by shooting and hacking to death around 70 people. Meanwhile, in the currently engulfing Haiti, the Bwa Kale have sparked concerns about their own human rights abuses and the risk that they will devolve into yet more criminal gangs. Tuesday’s gun battle in Petionville comes as the bloodshed in Haiti appears to be ramping up amid yet more political turbulence in the . Two weeks ago, the transitional council replaced Garry Conille, a US ally, as prime minister, prompting the latest wave of bloodletting. Since then, flights into Port-au-Prince’s main airport have been suspended after a Spirit Airlines passenger jet flying in from Florida was shot at multiple times, injuring a stewardess. Meanwhile, after 30 years of uninterrupted service, Doctors Without Borders this week , saying the security situation had become untenable and blaming, among others, the Bwa Kale. In a statement, the group accused police and vigilantes of having “executed” two patients, presumably injured gang members, being transported in one of its ambulances, the latest in a series of threats and attacks on its operations. The group’s withdrawal intensifies a humanitarian situation that Ms Villeneuve describes as “catastrophic”. The violence has , leaving crops unharvested and food unable to enter Port-au-Prince, with the port closed and the roads into the city controlled by the gangs. Half of Haiti’s population of nearly 12 million now eat just one meal a day. Another 1.2 million are “on the brink of famine”, according to Ms Villeneuve, with just one meal every two or three days. Yet Cherizier, a former elite police officer with political ambitions and a penchant for pseudo-revolutionary rhetoric, appears undaunted, treating both ordinary Haitians and his own gang members as expendable. Since the disastrous street battle in Petionville, he has been seen handing out school backpacks to children in Port-au-Prince as he attempts to bolster his image as a Robin Hood character defending the very communities he terrorises.

PRIME Minister Keir Starmer must stand by Ukraine even if Donald Trump waters down US support, a poll says. Brits want to see Vladimir Putin’s Russia beaten and do not want the UK to back a peace deal that is bad for Volodymyr Zelensky’s nation. It comes amid fears that President Elect Trump will pull American military aid to Ukraine. He wants to end the Ukraine war “within a day” but this could mean pressuring Volodymyr Zelensky to give up territory. And Brits are not confident in The Don’s ability to handle the Ukraine conflict. The poll by think tank More in Common found that 41 per cent are worried a Trump-negotiated deal is likely to favour Russia more. Just 13 per cent think Ukraine would benefit more and 19 per cent think it will favour both equally. If Mr Trump negotiates a deal that Ukraine opposes, Brits tend to think the UK should oppose the deal too. But the survey marking the war’s 1,000th day this week shows British support for Ukraine remains resolute. Most read in The Sun 69 per cent said it is important to the UK that Mr Zelensky defeats Putin’s invasion. Just nine per cent say it is not. Former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: “It’s not enough for the Prime Minister to cash in on the strong, cross society support for Ukraine. “He and Rachel Reeves must put their money where their mouth is and fund our efforts and the modernisation of our own Armed Forces properly. “The people of the UK want him to lead, Europe and Ukraine want him to lead so I urge him, for the security of all of us, to do so.” The poll of 2,000 adults found strong support for supplying Ukraine with British weapons - with almost half saying we had spent the right amount or too little on military aid. Ukraine fired UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at Russia for the first time this week. And 48 per cent of Brits say it should be up to Ukraine to decide how they use the weapons we have provided them. Most want the UK to back Ukraine until they have won back the territory they had at the start of the invasion. Read More on The US Sun Luke Tryl, UK Director of More in Common, said: “Over 1,000 days into the war Britons remain resolute in support of Ukraine and think that beating Putin matters. “They are also clear that Keir Starmer should not back a US negotiated peace deal that is bad for Ukraine and that the UK needs to continue its support for the invaded country.”
