Uber’s rough ride, burned by Phoenix, Donald Trump on Roy Moore, choose your drink carefully, and an interstellar visitor. Plus, jubilation in Zimbabwe.
1. Rough ride: Uber acknowledges it tried to cover up a data hack last year that involved 57 million riders worldwide and 600,000 drivers in the United States.
2. Burned by Phoenix: Auditor General Michael Ferguson says it will cost more than $540 million to fix the Phoenix pay system. And it could take several more years to reach a solution.
3. Trump breaks silence: U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the sexual assault allegations against Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore, repeating that Moore “denies it” and “we don’t need a liberal person in there.”
4. What about maudlin: Does whisky make you aggressive? Or does wine make you feel relaxed? According to a new survey out of the U.K., different types of alcohol can elicit different emotional responses in drinkers.
5. Interstellar visitor: A bizarrely elongated asteroid 400 metres in length entered our space from another solar system, astronomers say.
And… ICYMI:
There were cheers and celebrations in Zimbabwe’s capital today after President Robert Mugabe resigned after 37 years.
