Apple has shared the official trailer for ’Long Way Home,’ a new season of the popular motorcycle adventure series starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.
”Long Way Home” follows Ewan and Charley as they ride refurbished vintage motorbikes from Ewan’s home in Scotland to Charley’s in England — but rather than take the shortest route, they go the long way! They head across the North Sea to Scandinavia, all the way up to the Arctic Circle and then down to the Baltics and through continental Europe, before eventually hopping back over the English Channel two months later. It’s an adventure that will take them to more than 15 countries, through spectacular scenery and along some of the greatest driving roads in the world. Along the way they’ll immerse themselves in each country’s culture, meet the locals and try their hand at unique and eclectic activities.

A NASA spacecraft will make a close approach to an asteroid in the main belt on Sunday afternoon, in the second of several asteroid flybys planned for its 12-year mission to study remnants of the early solar system. The Lucy spacecraft will be 596 miles (960 km) from asteroid Donaldjohanson — named after the paleoanthropologist who discovered the “Lucy” hominin fossil — at the closest point of its pass, which will occur at 1:51PM ET, according to NASA. Lucy will use three instruments to capture detailed observations as the object gets closer, rotating with the asteroid over a few hours to get the full picture. It will stop tracking just before the asteroid is nearest, when it’ll have to shield its instruments due to the position of the sun to prevent damaging them.

Keanu Reeves is reportedly in line to play the bad guy in the upcoming Weezer film.
According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, the John Wick star will feature prominently in the mockumentary-style movie that will revolve around a rivalry between Weezer and Reeves’ own band Dogstar.
The report suggests the film will be a cross between Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and will also star Juliette Lewis, Eric Andre, Johnny Knoxville and Ben Schwartz, as well as the members of the band themselves. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, known for films in the Paranormal Activity franchise, will direct the film.

Chinese online retail giants Shein and Temu have warned US customers that goods will get pricier from next week, after President Donald Trump imposed hefty tariffs on goods from China.
In almost identical statements, the rival companies said they have seen operating expenses rise ”due to recent changes in global trade rules and tariffs”, adding they will make ”price adjustments” from 25 April.
The shopping sites have gained tens of millions of customers in the US, attracted by their ultra-low prices.
Their popularity has put pressure on Amazon, prompting it to launch a new platform called Haul last November, featuring items for under $20 (£15.10).
Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has imposed taxes of up to 145% on imports from China. His administration said this week that when the new tariffs are added on to existing ones the levies on some Chinese goods could reach 245%.
