TV footage of the race showed the team car knocking down the fan who was holding what looked liked a mobile phone about 200 meters from the top of the Col de Peyresourde. The vehicle was following riders on the steep ascent and driving at moderate speed.

UK threatens jail for people smugglers who advertise on social media
LONDON (Reuters) -People smugglers who use social media to promote their services to migrants seeking to enter Britain illegally could face five years in prison under plans announced by the government. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government is under huge political and public pressure to cut the number of migrants arriving illegally in small boats from France. More than 25,000 people have made the crossing so far this year. Analysis by the Interior Ministry showed around 80% of migrants arriving on small boats had used social media during their journey to find or communicate with people smugglers. Under a new offence, which will be added to legislation already passing through parliament, individuals who post online to advertise services that facilitate a breach of immigration laws will face fines and prison sentences of up to five years. It is already an offence to facilitate illegal immigration to Britain, but the government said its latest plan would give law enforcement agencies another option to disrupt the criminal gangs that profit from organising the crossings. Last month, the government launched a new sanctions regime allowing it to freeze assets, impose travel bans and block access to the country's financial system for individuals and entities involved in enabling irregular migration.

JPJ to audit bus firm after crash injures three kindergarten pupils, teacher in Serdang (VIDEO)
SHAH ALAM, Aug 3 — The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will carry out a Safety Inspection and Audit (JISA) on the bus company involved in the accident along Jalan Persiaran Universiti 1 at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, which occurred while transporting a group of schoolchildren. JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department had received a report on the incident. 'Yes, we've received the report, and the accident is being investigated by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). 'JPJ will conduct a JISA on the bus operator and take further action once the audit report is received,' he told Sinar Harian today. The accident yesterday left three pupils and a teacher injured after the bus veered off the road and crashed into a tree. The incident reportedly occurred at around 12.18pm. The bus, carrying 30 pupils and five teachers from Pusat Asuhan Tunas Islam (Pasti) Ampang, was on its way from a chocolate factory to the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (Maeps). Serdang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the 44-year-old bus driver is believed to have lost control of the vehicle, causing it to skid to the left side of the road. The local driver has been detained for investigation under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
