A quickie Wanbao update 115 days before the games...

• Big pic: the tanks! Some of the newest police weaponry are on show at the China International Police Material Expo.

• Other headliners: Cheap houses will be sold according to an "open lottery"; also, Olympic home hosts will mainly be those living in Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chaoyang and Haidian.

Elsewhere:

• An accident on the Badaling Freeway yesterday near the Kangzhuang Toll Gate in Yanqing caused three deaths and two injuries. A truck banged into another truck, banging indirectly into three more cars ahead. (Page 3)

• The police have a new uniform. They'll still be "men (and women) in black", but the new uniform goes easier on the cops. (Page 4, photo)

• There's trouble near the southernmost terminus of the Jingcheng Freeway at Guangximen North, with soil and waste clogging up the entrance to the side road entrance onto the freeway. (Page 6)

• How slow can the Jingtong Freeway get? That's when pedestrians are faster than the average bus. Near Dawang Bridge last night. (Page 7)

Mix of sun and clouds, 12°C to 24°C.
