Kanye West has been suspended from Twitter for inciting violence - just a month after his account was reinstated.

The rapper posted a series of offensive and dangerous tweets - one of which appeared to show a symbol combining a swastika and a Jewish star.

The social media platform’s new boss Elon Musk tweeted that West had "violated our rule against incitement to violence".

Tesla has revealed its first ever battery-powered heavy-duty truck, three years later than planned.

‘Semi’ was announced in 2017 but the firm reportedly struggled with devising its battery.

She told us a lack of social energy could be the reason why but said it could also be to do with survival.

And the rest

Experts find that Covid-19 can remain on some groceries for days, a Mars mega-tsunami was ‘caused by an asteroid strike’ and scientists finally crack the mystery behind Namibia’s strange fairy circles.

Plus, the headset that could treat Alzheimer’s, Google opens its first accessibility research and development centre in the UK and owl-shaped plaques might be more fun than you think.
