Quick Glance: Scandal at Beijing Half Marathon: 4 Runners Disqualified
  • Following an unusual finish at the Beijing Half Marathon, the top finishers were disqualified as three runners from Africa seemingly made way for a Chinese competitor to win.

  • The finish line incident caused a commotion, prompting questions about why the three other runners appeared to yield the victory to He.

  • Subsequent to the investigation, all four runners were disqualified for the pacemakers deliberately slowing down in the final two kilometers of the race, aiding He's victory.

  • Confirmation was provided by the organizers that although Xtep invited Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu as pacemakers, they were mistakenly registered as ordinary competitors.

Tesla cuts prices in China, Germany and around globe after US cuts
Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
  • Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.

  • The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.

  • The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.

  • The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Data protection: class action lawsuit against Grindr in London
Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure
  • A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

  • The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

  • Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

  • Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.
