Amazon boss Jeff Bezos pledges $2bn of his own money to help homeless and pre-schools

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is to launch a $2bn (£1.53bn) fund to help homeless families and launch pre-schools in poor communities. The world's richest man made the announcement on Twitter a year after he asked for ideas on how he could use his personal fortune - estimated to be about $163bn (£124.34bn) - for charitable efforts. The Bezos Day One Fund will contribute to "existing non-profit organisations that help homeless families" and also fund "a network of new, non-profit, tier-one pre-schools in low-income communities," he wrote.

Volkswagen to stop making Beetles in 2019

Volkswagen will halt the production of Beetles in 2019, marking the end of the road for one of the world's most beloved cars. The German company will introduce two special editions of the vehicle before it stops making the model altogether in July. Volkswagen is sidelining the Beetle, renowned for its distinctive curved shape and round lights, to focus on producing electric cars and larger family vehicles. The company has not ruled out bringing the Beetle back in future but says it has no plans at this time. Hinrich Woebcken, chief executive of the Volkswagen Group of America, said in a statement: "As we move to being a full-line, family-focused automaker in the US and ramp up our electrification strategy... there are no immediate plans to replace it. "But, I would also say, never say never. "The loss of the Beetle after three generations, over nearly seven decades, will evoke a host of emotions from the Beetle's many devoted fans." I

Live TV images showed firefighters battling blazes in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, around 25 miles (40 km)north of the Massachusetts capital. The streets were darkened after utility crews cut off electricity and began shutting down gas service to the area to prevent the ignition of further blasts. At least three people, including one firefighter, were hurt in Andover, the town said in a statement. Six people were being treated at Lawrence General Hospital, spokeswoman Jill McDonald Halsey said. It was not immediately clear if any of those being treated at that hospital were from Andover. The Boston affiliate of CBS News reported that two of the six patients at Lawrence hospital were in critical condition. Source:  https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/7
