A famous yellow car called the “Mini Moke” which once roamed the street of Great Britain during the 60s is now ready to drive back into markets. It will make its re-start in Greece, thanks to Greek-Australian businessman Jim Markos.

The Australian company Moke Motors, in collaboration with the Chinese company Chery, a leading car manufacturer in the country, has designed a brand new Mini Moke car, maintaining many features of the first generation model.

Australian Jim Markos has the worldwide rights for the Moke car, which is already being manufactured in China. His immediate plans are to begin selling the vehicle in Europe.

Markos added that he believes the Mini Moke would be an ideal vehicle for the Greek islands.

Serbia v Albania abandoned following mass brawl after drone flies over stadium carrying Albanian flag
Referee Martin Atkinson abandons Euro 2016 qualifier in Belgrade following a brawl between players and fans from both sides

The brother of Albania’s Prime Minister was arrested in Belgrade on Tuesday night, accused of starting the trouble that caused the abandonment of the Euro 2016 qualifier between Serbia and Albania, Serbian state television RTS reported.

RTS cited the Serbian Interior Ministry to say that Olsi Rama controlled a drone from his seat in an executive box in the stadium, carrying a ‘Greater Albanian’ flag which flew over the pitch, triggering clashes between the teams as some of the 20,000 home fans tried to assault Albanian players.

Ancient boy-racers: Discovery of Iron Age chariot proves our ancestors loved a Sunday drive or two
Archaeological evidence suggests chariots were driven - and crashed - in ancient Britain in their thousands

Iron Age trackways, and the late prehistoric countryside in general, were probably awash with speeding chariots, with a top speed of around 20mph.

Road down to Myrtos beach will closed from 16/10/14 - 29/11/14 (or thereabouts), presumably for more safety work.

Should people be eating more fat?

After years of being told, and telling others, that saturated fat clogs your arteries and makes you fat, there is now mounting evidence that eating some saturated fats may actually help you lose weight and be good for the heart.

Members of the ethnic Greek minority at the village of Dervicani, in Albania's region of Gjirokaster (Argyrokastro in Greek), were targeted by Albanian nationalists late Tuesday, Kathimerini understands.

A group of about 100 people, holding flags and banners with nationalist slogans, drove to the village near Greece's border with Albania where they smashed shop windows and vandalized parked cars until they were stopped by police.

The violence in Dervicani occurred a few hours after a brawl at the politically-sensitive Euro 2016 qualifier between Serbia and Albania forced authorities to suspend the game.

Google researchers have uncovered a bug in web-encryption technology that could allow hackers to take over email, banking and other online accounts.

Dubbed Poodle, the threat is said to be less severe than Heartbleed, which sent the security industry into panic earlier this year.

The bug exists in old software that is still used by web browsers and servers.

Alan Woodward, a security researcher from the University of Surrey [says,]  "For people at home the advice is to use the latest browsers."
