Brilliant Citroen e-C3 Aircross now goes further and costs less
Citroen has been the first car maker to benefit from the Electric Car Grant, with £1,500 off its range of electric cars. That includes the new e-C3, e-C4, e-C4 X and e-Berlingo.
Next into Citroen showrooms in September will be the e-C3 Aircross, a more spacious version of the e-C3 with a bit of SUV attitude, and the Electric Car Grant will apply to that model, too.
Until now, only the Standard Range models have been available to order, with a maximum claimed range of 188 miles. Now, though, Extended Range e-C3 Aircrosses are set to arrive with the option of a 54kWh battery rather than the Standard Range's 44kWh unit, giving a range of up to 249 miles.
The maximum charging speed on a suitable charger remains at 100kW, meaning the Extended Range cars can take 28 minutes to get a 20 to 80 per cent charge.
There's a £1,900 price increase for the bigger battery, but the e-C3 Aircross still looks to be good value, especially when the Electric Car Grant is taken into account. The range now starts at £21,595 for the Standard Range Plus model or £23,495 for the Extended Range version – both prices include the government-provided discount.
Moving up to the Max version costs another £2,000, so £23,595 for the Standard Range car and £25,495 for the Extended Range Max, again both prices include the Electric Car Grant.
All e-C3 Aircross models get a 10.25-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a reversing camera, Citroën Head-Up Display and a compact steering wheel. MAX models add level add front and rear parking sensors, a heated acoustic windscreen, a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, and wireless smartphone charging.
Although we drove the new e-C3 Aircross earlier this year, first cars aren't expected to arrive in UK dealerships until September, in time for the new 75-plate registrations.

According to TalkSPORT, PSG have reached an agreement with Bournemouth to sign Zabarnyi for €63 million. After weeks of negotiations, both clubs appear satisfied with the fee to finalize the deal. Bournemouth have already lined up a replacement. On Friday, RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins reported that Bafodé Diakité has agreed to a five-year contract with the Premier League club. The sticking point had been Lille's €40 million asking price, but it appears an agreement has been reached there as well. Bouremouth find replacement for incoming PSG standoutOn Saturday, Foot Mercato's Santi Aouna reported that the clubs had reached an agreement on a €40 million transfer fee — the figure the Ligue 1 side had been seeking to part ways with the player. Bournemouth, PSG, and Zabarnyi are all likely content with what has transpired.

Despite some rumors, Romano made it clear there haven't been any serious talks with Tottenham Hotspur as Premier League clubs are set to miss out. Well, Zabarnyi is about to be joining the European champions.

Do Not Keep These ‘High Risk' Apps On Your iPhone Or Android
While TikTok has generated the most headlines when it comes to allegations of your data being secretly sent to China, it turns out that a much bigger threat could have been been hiding on your phone all this time. And this one is much more dangerous. It has taken a spate of porn bans — first in the U.S. and now in Europe to flush out this risk. As much as smartphone users need their TikTok fix, porn is an even bigger draw. And tens of millions of users are suddenly masking their internet traffic for the first time, pretending to be somewhere they are not to bypass those bans. This is done by way of virtual private networks or VPNs. The same technology that failed to circumvent TikTok's short-lived U.S. ban in January. But for porn, VPNs work just fine. vpnMentor saw a 'staggering' 6,000% surge in U.K VPN use after restrictions came into effect. The same explosive growth seen in the U.S. and France. Many of the installed VPNs were free apps topping App Store and Play Store charts. But many of these have a nasty, hidden secret. As Top10VPN's Simon Migliano warns, "despite being made aware of glaring privacy failures and opaque corporate structures, Google and Apple continue to permit these high-risk apps on their platforms.' A month ago, the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) issued a report into free VPNs, warning that 'millions of Americans have downloaded apps that secretly route their internet traffic through Chinese companies.' It reported on this same threat in April. 'Apple and Google app stores continue to offer private browsing apps that are surreptitiously owned by Chinese companies… six weeks after they were identified.' 'In light of these findings," Migliano warns, "I strongly urge users to avoid Chinese-owned VPNs altogether." He says 'the risks are too great' to keep them on your phone. As BeyondTrust's James Maude told me 'if you aren't paying for a product, you are the product. These VPNs are a perfect example of the hidden costs of free apps where users seeking privacy are potentially unknowingly feeding data to a foreign nation state." Google told me it is "committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws. When we locate accounts that may violate these laws, our related policies or Terms of Service, we take appropriate action.' While Apple says it enforces App Store rules but does not differentiate its handling of apps by the location of their developers, albeit VPNs are prohibited from sharing data. My advice is to open either the App Store on your iPhone or the Play Store on your Android, and then search for 'free VPN.' You should delete any apps listed as installed on your phone that highlight that 'free VPN" tag, unless they are linked to blue-chip, western technology firms that provide other security offerings. Meanwhile, here's the TTP list of Chinese apps you should search for: Apple App Store: Google Play Store:
