MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Hurricane Hilary was barreling towards Mexico's Baja California peninsula on Saturday, a U.S. government agency said, warning that catastrophic and life-threatening flooding was likely on the peninsula and U.S. Southwest. The hurricane already was disrupting flights and baseball games in the United States.

It predicted it would lose more strength and turn into a tropical storm as it heads towards southern California during the day and evening on Sunday.

China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group Ltd. agreed to divest the majority of its property assets to another unit of China Evergrande Group for a nominal 2 yuan ($0.29) as the struggling electric-car maker seeks new financing from investors. Divesture of the property assets will allow the company to focus on the new-energy vehicle (NEV) segment and deploy its resources to fund existing projects that will offer better and more sustainable returns to shareholders, Hong Kong-traded Evergrande NEV said Monday in a filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Thailand's biggest political party pledged to rewrite the nation's military-drafted constitution if it wins the election next month, as the poll process got underway on Monday with candidate registrations. Pheu Thai Party, linked to ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, said it will hold a vote to elect members of a new constitution drafting committee and a subsequent referendum on the new charter. The promise of a new constitution is part of the party's six-point road map to restore 'democracy' that was unveiled over the weekend.

As Spain has been suffocating under heatwaves and high temperatures during the summer, ice on its mountains is melting and extreme heat is accelerating the disappearance of Pyrenees' largest glacier of El Aneto.

Law enforcement agencies nationwide regularly sell items that are seized in criminal investigations or are unclaimed from lost-and-found inventories. Many of these items—vehicles, jewelry, watches and electronic devices like cellphones—end up at online auction houses. People looking for a bargain can bid on cellphones in bulk, snatching up dozens at rock bottom prices for parts or other uses. This ultimately provides revenue for the police agencies, making for a good deal for everyone involved. Or is it? A recent study by University of Maryland security experts found that many of the phones sold at police property auction houses are not properly wiped of personal data.

Pandemic-formed act seems to have fallen from the sky, crash-landing its layered neo-psychedelia into a record deal three years later with London label Fuzz Club (King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, the Black Angels). The shockwave continues on the quartet's 10-track debut, produced by Angels bandleader Alex Maas. Good Time deals in familiar revelries, fleshing out traditional counterculture ethos (" Fuck the man/ This is our time ") with shoegaze lilts and gritty, industrial guitar tone. Distortion whittles guitarist and vocalist Alex Capistran's voice down to sweet rock candy, melding a Damon Albarn whine with inflection-averse nonchalance.
