A van plowed into pedestrians on Barcelona’s most iconic avenue at the height of the tourist season in a terrorist attack that left several dead and more injured, echoing similar incidents in other European cities. The suspected perpetrator was arrested and police denied earlier reports that a terrorist was holed up in a restaurant. Authorities are pursuing a second suspect and closed roads leading out of the city, state broadcaster TVE reported. 

President Trump came out in favor of monuments to Confederate leaders and lashed out at Republican critics. In a series of tweets Thursday, Trump said it was “sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.” He wrote that history can’t be changed but “you can learn from it” and that “the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!” He also accused Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of a “disgusting lie” and plugged a primary opponent of another GOP critic.

Trucking companies can’t seem to lure the young and unemployed. Veteran drivers are leaving the profession, and young people entering the workforce are put off by long hours away from home and the job’s low-brow image. The result is a U.S. trucking industry with high turnover and a dwindling number of new recruits. As older truckers retire and an online-buying boom leads to surging deliveries, the fear is a driver shortage will spur delays and lost revenue.

Africa’s richest man wants to buy Arsenal and fire its manager. Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote’s first order of business if he succeeds in buying English Premier League soccer club Arsenal will be to fire the manager, Arsene Wenger. Dangote, who has a net worth of $11.1 billion, has coveted the team since becoming a supporter in the mid-1980s, he said in an interview. “The first thing I would change is the coach,” Dangote said. “He has done a good job, but someone else should also try his luck.”

Your tiny economy airline seat may stop shrinking. Airlines have been squeezing you into ever-smaller spaces for years, looking to jam as many seats as possible onto every plane, maximizing revenue while trying to distract you from your anguish with free Wi-Fi. That may be ending soon, as federal courts scrutinize safety issues and some airlines exploit customer distaste by bringing back comforts, like more legroom, others have jettisoned.

Driving a Ford GT40 isn’t pleasant. It’s a cramped, loud and violent experience. After all, the “40” is a reference to the car’s height—in inches. It also hits 200 miles per hour. Collectors of the cult-car call it thrilling, fast, and—most critically—historic. A GT40 that’s up for sale this week one of only 12 prototypes. The last time it changed hands, in 2014, it fetched $6.9 million. Sure, that would cover a swanky beach house, but it remains arelatively pedestrian sum among car collectors. One-of-a-kind Ferraris from the same era regularly command tens of millions.
