iShowSpeed causes chaos as Scottish fans chase and jump on his car
iShowSpeed is one of the biggest names on YouTube, and a recent incident in Scotland with his fanbase has shown just how popular he is. Speed has more than 20 million subscribers on YouTube and regularly streams live to his fans. Recently, we’ve seen him diving into the camera to mark an incredible streaming milestone, but the latest live video turned to chaos and sparked fear among viewers. iShowSpeed is currently in the UK and he was documenting his journey up to Scotland when viewers worked out his location. Things quickly turned, with a legion of fans mobbing the vehicle he was travelling in. Soon, the crowd was hitting on the windows and surrounding the streamer. Speed Gets Attacked By Fans During IRL STREAM ? www.youtube.com iShowSpeed said in the clip: “Yo, Scotland’s hella f****** lit man, holy s***balls! Look at f****** Scotland!” Then, some of the people began climbing on top of the vehicle, sparking fears inside the car. One of the people in the car told him: “Careful, they’re on the car.” “They’re on the f****** car!” the streamer said. “Oh my god. Holy sh**.” Thankfully, the clip shows the vehicle making its way clear of the crowd, showing the fans in their dozens watching Speed leave. It bore more than a passing resemblance to a recent incident involving fellow streamer Kai Cenat. On 5 August, Kai held a huge giveaway at Union Square that saw gaming consoles given away. More than 6,000 people were said to have attended the event which soon turned sour. Footage showed teens damaging cars, throwing objects, fighting and blasting fire extinguishers. The NYPD arrested 65 people, including 30 minors, on counts from disorderly conduct to assaulting a police officer. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Drone warfare map reveals how Ukraine is striking Russia hundreds of miles from the frontline
As drone strikes continue to rain down on Russian soil, Vladimir Putin’s bloody war has reached his own doorstep. The strikes are now daily and on Tuesday the Russian defence ministry said its air defence systems destroyed two drones over the Kaluga and Tver regions, which border the Moscow region, as well as one closer to the capital, over the Istra district. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that the drones “were trying to carry out an attack on Moscow“ and that a consumer services facility was damaged in the Istra district, which is located some 65 km (40 miles) northwest of the Kremlin. Attacks on Russia have increased sharply, with the largest such strikes hitting six regions on one night last week. That assault included two Russian military transport planes being destroyed – and two more damaged – at an airbase in the city of Pskov. Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, said that the drones were launched from inside Russia. However, in speaking to the War Zone website, Mr Budanov did not say whether the attack – about 400 miles (700km) from the Ukraine border – was carried out by Ukrainian or Russian operatives. “We are working from the territory of Russia,” he said. Officials confirmed attacks on six targets in the Pskov, Bryansk, Kaluga, Orlov, Ryazan and Moscow regions. Meanwhile, Moscow has continued to carry out drone attacks on Ukrainian targets including port infrastructure. On Monday, 32 Russian kamikaze drones struck the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, damaging civilian and industrial buildings. The assault on the military airfield in Pskov that damaged aircraft has been deemed the most significant attack, situated more than 600km (400 miles) from Ukraine, it was where a number of elite paratroopers are stationed. The state-run Tass news agency reported at least four giant Il-76 transport planes were damaged in the four-hour wave of drones, two of which had “burst into flames”. Moscow retaliated on Wednesday by launching a “massive combined attack” on the Ukrainian capital using drones and missiles, that killed two people and injured another. Kyiv officials normally neither claim nor deny responsibility for attacks on Russian soil, though they sometimes refer obliquely to them. The apparent Ukrainian drones reaching deep into Russia and cross-border sabotage missions are part of Kyiv’s efforts to heap domestic pressure on the Kremlin, militarily and politically. Meantime, a Ukrainian counteroffensive launched in June is chipping away at some parts of the front line, Kyiv officials claim.

Adesanya vs Strickland time: When does UFC 293 start in UK and US this weekend?
Israel Adesanya takes on Sean Strickland in the main event of UFC 293 this weekend, defending the middleweight title in Sydney. Adesanya began his second reign as champion in April, knocking out Alex Pereira to finally earn a win over his old rival, who took the belt from Adesanya in November. Now, the Nigerian-New Zealander defends the gold against Strickland, with the controversial contender entering Australia on a two-fight win streak. American Strickland, ranked fifth, was Adesanya’s second choice for a challenger here; the champion had his eyes on Dricus Du Plessis, but the South African sustained an injury to delay that potential grudge match. Many fans, however, are excited to see Strickland (27-5) finally get his shot at Adesanya (24-2). Here’s all you need to know.
