Two spectators killed in motor rally accident in France
Two people have been killed in central France after a car veered off the road and hit onlookers at an auto rally. A third person watching the race is now fighting for their life after being seriously injured at the rally near Ambert in the Puy-de-Dome region on Saturday morning. The car left the road at around 10am before crashing into spectators, according to regional outlet La Montagne. The driver was reportedly left with only minor injuries as dozens of police officers and firefighters were mobilised to respond to the accident. The local prefecture said: 'The provisional toll shows two people dead, one person in critical condition, and several others involved in the shock.' The race, which was just over 7km long, stretched between Baffie and Fontlobines in the commune of Saint-Just. The prefect of Puy-de-Dome, the region's top local official, is set to conduct a press conference this afternoon. This is not the first time the racing event near Ambert has been marred by tragedy. At last year's race in July 2024, a steward reportedly died when he was hit by a car that lost control as he attended to a separate accident.

NFL hit with Super Bowl scandal: Around 100 players facing bans
At least 100 NFL players, as well as coaches and staff from around half of the 32 teams, have been accused of violating league rules by selling their Super Bowl tickets for above face value. That is according to a report Friday, which said an NFL investigation found that some employees and players flogged their tickets to a 'small number of "bundlers"' who were working with a reseller to sell them for inflated fees. All NFL players are allowed to buy two tickets at face value. This year, when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas in New Orleans, prices reportedly ranged from $950 to $7,500. On resale sites, however, some tickets were going for close to $57,000. The average price of a Super Bowl ticket in the final weeks leading up to the game was $8,076, according to CBS. ESPN claims the players face a possible fine and could be suspended if they refuse to pay. They will also lose the right to their allotted tickets to the next two Super Bowls, unless they are playing in the game, in which case they will have the opportunity to buy seats. No specific players, coaches, or teams who violated the policy were named, but some people have already shelled out to avoid missing playing time, according to ESPN. Players violating the agreement between the league and the NFL Players Association around the resale of Super Bowl tickets are reportedly subject to penalties including fines of one-and-a-half times the face value of the tickets. Other team employees who violated the policy will reportedly be fined two times the face value of the tickets. According to reports, those players and employees who had a 'greater role' — by working directly with the 'bundlers,' for instance — 'will face increased penalties.' 'Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the policy,' read a memo, sent to teams by the NFL — and cited by ESPN. 'This long-standing League Policy, which is specifically incorporated into the Collective Bargaining Agreement, prohibits League or Club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less.' 'We are in the process of completing our investigation into this matter, but the investigation has revealed that club employees and players sold their tickets to a small number of "bundlers" who were working with a ticket reseller to sell the Super Bowl tickets above face value.' The NFL also insists it will be enhancing 'mandatory compliance training regarding the Policy' for all personnel, which will emphasize that 'no one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans.' 'We will also increase the penalties for future violations of this Policy,' the league memo adds. 'All clubs must ensure their personnel understand and comply with this policy. Additional details regarding the enhanced compliance measures will be provided in early fall.'

Dorset Police to introduce mobile police stations
Mobile police stations are being launched in Dorset so officers are "more visible and accessible".Dorset Police has announced plans to change its front counter provision across the county from a statement, the force said residents had "made it clear" they preferred speaking to officers and staff in their neighbourhoods, rather than travelling to comes after a review found people chose to contact police more online and at community contact points, rather than going to front counters in stations. Assistant Chief Constable Steve Lyne said they had prioritised keeping front counter services in Blandford, Bournemouth and Weymouth and mobile stations would be opened "in the heart of neighbourhoods".Dorset Police will retain stations for operational use by officers, staff and volunteers at Bridport, Gillingham, Poole and Sherborne, but front counters will close in the autumn. 'Ongoing financial pressures' ACC Lyne added: "Keeping Dorset safe for everyone means focusing on the changing way the public want to contact us, while also making sure we have the right resources in the right places. "With ongoing financial pressures due to rising costs and national funding, the review of our counter service provision is among a large-scale programme of work taking place to ensure we can operate an efficient and sustainable policing service to help keep our communities safe."David Sidwick, police and crime commissioner for Dorset, said there had been an increased use in community contact points, which are typically based in supermarkets, shopping centres and village said he was "convinced" by the evidence gathered during front counter Sidwick added: "Moving resources to make them more available, better engaged with and giving the people what they want and in the right place does make sense given the circumstances."
