Will Trump block Comey testimony? White House does not know yet Posted: 02 Jun 2017 05:56 PM PDT By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House officials said on Friday they did not know yet whether President Donald Trump would seek to block former FBI Director James Comey from testifying to Congress next week, a move that could spark a political backlash. Comey was leading a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into alleged Russian meddling in last year's U.S. presidential election and possible collusion by Trump's campaign when the president fired him last month. Critics have charged that Trump was seeking to hinder the FBI's investigation by dismissing Comey. |

Fresh battle ends bid to free civilians in war-torn Philippine city Posted: 04 Jun 2017 03:55 AM PDT Efforts to rescue up to 2,000 civilians trapped by fighting between troops and Islamist militants in a southern Philippine city failed Sunday when a proposed truce ended in a hail of gunfire and explosions, authorities and witnesses said. The civilians were pinned down nearly two weeks ago in the centre of Marawi on Mindanao island, where gunmen loyal to the Islamic State group are holding out against a military assault. Local authorities said government officials, working through intermediaries, had reached agreement with the militants to observe a four-hour ceasefire Sunday to let the trapped civilians leave. |

Cambodian opposition makes gains in local elections Posted: 04 Jun 2017 08:45 AM PDT By Prak Chan Thul PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia's opposition made significant gains in local elections against the ruling party of authoritarian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Sunday, according to the first results. The election for more than 1,600 communes would not mean a major shift in power, but could be a springboard for next year's general election, in which Hun Sen aims to extend more than three decades in power in the Southeast Asian country. The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) won 11 out of the first 80 communes for which results were declared. |

"The OAS resolution on Venezuela should indicate our concern about the cancellation of elections, lack of respect for the National Assembly, the existence of political prisoners, the use of military courts to try civilians," Mexico's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. |

Lawmakers return to Washington on Monday under pressure to advance Trump's agenda, notably bills to repeal and replace Barack Obama's health care reforms and overhaul US tax law. |
Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries take Baaj town west of Mosul from Islamic State: army Posted: 04 Jun 2017 06:50 AM PDT By Maher Chmaytelli BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Shi'ite paramilitaries have captured the Iraqi town of Baaj from Islamic State, further shrinking the northern region under jihadist control as part of a U.S.-backed campaign to retake the city of Mosul, the Iraqi military said on Sunday. Eight months into the Mosul offensive, Islamic State (IS) militants have been dislodged from all of the city except an enclave along the western bank of the Tigris river. IS's grip on the Iraqi side of the northern region along the border with Syria, a desert area where Iraqi and U.S. sources believe IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is hiding, has been ebbing as forces fighting on the side of Iraq's government have advanced. |

New leak sheds light on Apple’s secretive ‘smart glasses’ project Posted: 04 Jun 2017 10:23 AM PDT Over the weekend, a Reddit user with the handle Foxconninsider released a treasure trove of information regarding a number of new products Apple has in the pipeline. While most of the Reddit AMA seemed to focus on upcoming iPhones and an assortment of Mac hardware, there was also some interesting information divulged regarding Apple's rumored smart glasses. The notion that Apple has been exploring smart glasses with augmented reality features is certainly nothing new. On the contrary, in recent months we've seen a handful of reports from exceedingly credible sources indicating that Apple's smart glasses initiative is very much real. Not too long ago, for example, the Financial Times -- which has a solid track record with respect to Apple rumors -- published a report claiming that Apple was interested in taking its smart glasses project "from a science project towards a consumer product."
All the while, other reports have relayed that Apple's AR team continues to grow and now includes hundreds of researchers and engineers with varying experience in relevant fields like head-mounted displays, optics and more. What's more, it's also been reported that many of Apple's AR engineers previously worked on Facebook's Oculus Rift and Microsoft's HoloLens headset. Suffice it to say, Apple's exploration into the field of smart glasses is very real. With that said, the purported Foxconn insider divulged an extensive amount of new information about the ultra-secretive project. With the AMA now closed, we went back and scoured every question and answer we could find about Apple's mythical smart glasses. Of course, everything should be taken with a requisite grain of salt, but that's simply par for the course in the world of Apple rumors. With the standard disclaimer out of the way, let's get this thing rolling. According to Foxconninsider, Apple's smart glasses -- at least in its current incarnation -- uses a prism to convey an image to the lens with a resolution of 428x240. As far as interacting with the device itself, Apple's smart glasses are outfitted with a microphone for Siri control and an accelerometer that can presumably register commands when a user moves his or her head in a certain direction. Additionally, it features a "small capacitive strip" for accepting calls and adjusting the volume. Interestingly, the current Apple smart glasses reportedly do not include a camera due to design and battery life considerations. The product can house both polarized and prescription lenses and, if ever released, will be available in different sizes for both men and women. Some of the colored frames Foxconninsider claims to have seen include crystal, champagne, and black. Based on the bill of materials, the Foxconninsider believes Apple's smart glasses might cost as much as $600.
The million dollar question, though, is whether or not the current prototype will ever become a viable and shipping product. To this point, our fearless leaker claims that there's a 65% chance the entire smart glasses project might be scrapped altogether. When asked why we should even care about Apple smart glasses, the leaker said that it is a very unique design and that "if it can be done properly" it will "be like what the iPhone did 10 years ago." When asked how she came up with the 65% figure, the leaker answered: "Yield rate and amount of other products they scrap in new areas. Apple experiments a lot, 65% of these products never reach consumers." She later added that manufacturing a flexible battery is difficult at scale and that the device's display prism also has some technical hurdles Apple has to contend with. |

Bahrain bans newspaper for 'sowing division' Posted: 04 Jun 2017 08:35 AM PDT The government in Sunni-ruled Bahrain announced Sunday an indefinite ban on the independent Al-Wasat newspaper on accusations that it publishes "what sows division" in the Shiite-majority Gulf kingdom. The order was due to Al-Wasat's "violation of the law and repeatedly publishing what sows division in the society and affects Bahrain's relations with other states," BNA said. The decision came after the paper published an article on Sunday that was "offensive to a sisterly Arab state," BNA said, in an apparent reference to an article that praised protests in Morocco. |

Netanyahu woos West African leaders at Liberia summit Posted: 04 Jun 2017 11:25 AM PDT Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday joined West African leaders at a summit in Liberia, where they hailed peacekeeping efforts in the region but warned about threats to stability.

Children strapped with explosives kill nine in north Cameroon Posted: 03 Jun 2017 12:23 AM PDT By Josiane Kouagheu DOUALA, Cameroon (Reuters) - Two children carrying explosives blew themselves up on Friday near a camp in northern Cameroon housing civilians displaced by Nigeria's Boko Haram militants, killing nine people and wounding 30, officials said. "Two suicide bomber adolescents aged between 10 and 15 years infiltrated the town of Kolofata," Communications Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary told state radio, adding that both had detonated their explosives. A local government official said the 10 gravely wounded had been transported to a hospital in a nearby town. |

Booming Malta to deliver verdict on scandal-hit PM Posted: 02 Jun 2017 07:56 PM PDT Maltese voters head to the polls Saturday to deliver their verdict on a government hit by corruption allegations linked to the Panama papers scandal, but fortified by a booming economy. The election battle has been dominated by the fallout from last year's massive data leak from Panama's Mossack Fonseca law firm. Muscat called the general election a year early after it was alleged his wife Michelle has a Panamanian offshore company and used it for kickbacks from Azerbaijan's ruling family linked to the licensing of an Azeri bank on Malta. |
Qatar says six of its soldiers wounded on Saudi-Yemeni border Posted: 03 Jun 2017 10:39 AM PDT Qatar said on Saturday that six of its soldiers were wounded on the Saudi border with Yemen while serving in a Saudi-led military coalition fighting against the Iran-aligned Houthi group. Qatar's defense ministry said in a statement carried by state news agency QNA that the six were injured "while conducting their duties within the Qatari contingent defending the southern borders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia". Qatar-based Al Jazeera television reported in 2015 that Qatar had deployed 1,000 troops to Yemen. |

People are going to pay $880 for this ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Galaxy S8, sadly Posted: 04 Jun 2017 06:00 AM PDT No, it's not the pink version that was leaked earlier this week. It's a Galaxy S8 version made for pirates. The Galaxy S8 is a tremendous success for Samsung, selling even better than the previous model. But that doesn't mean that Samsung doesn't have more marketing tricks to sell even more units this year. A Galaxy S8 Pirates of the Caribbean Special Edition is such a trick. This isn't the first time Samsung partnered with movie studios to launch special edition handsets, so it's definitely not surprising to see Samsung target one of the blockbuster movies of the year for the handset. But unfortunately for you, you can't buy it just yet. As GizmoChina explains, the special edition model is currently available on JD.com for the time being, priced at around $880. Unlike regular models, the Pirates Edition ships in a special treasure chest box. The package also includes a protective case and a special holder. Furthermore, when you turn the phone on, you'll see a Dead Men Tell No Tales theme on it. Unfortunately, the phone itself isn't adorned with any Pirates markings. On the other hand, given how easily the Galaxy S8's glass can break, you'd be better off using the special case that comes with the handset. Other than the Pirates-inspired visuals, there aren't any changes. The phone packs 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, which makes it a regular Galaxy S8. It's unclear whether the bigger Galaxy S8+ will also receive a similar treatment. |
