UN seeks $50.5 million for 'immediate' Indonesia disaster aidNations unies (Etats-Unis) (AFP) - The United Nations said Friday it is seeking $50.5 million "for immediate relief" to help victims of the devastating quake and tsunami in Indonesia.

Google shows progress in addressing competition concerns, says EU's Vestager

Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:28 AM PDT

Google shows progress in addressing competition concerns, says EU's VestagerGoogle's proposals to increase competition in online shopping are bearing fruit, Europe's antitrust chief said on Friday, suggesting that the company may be able to avoid further fines. Alphabet Inc's Google last year offered to allow price-comparison rivals to bid for advertising space at the top of a search page, giving them the chance to compete on equal terms, seeking to appease regulators after the European Commission fined it a record 2.4 billion euros ($2.8 billion) for favouring its own service. European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said she saw further improvement since Google's first report in June showed some rivals had benefited from the company's action.

Kavanaugh Takes Junior Justice Duty

Kavanaugh Takes Junior Justice Duty As the court's newest and therefore most junior associate justice -- confirmed 50-48 Saturday in the closest margin in more than a century -- Kavanaugh will bear some of the minor indignities that accompany the role. None of this has to do with the contentious nature of his confirmation, although two Democratic-appointed justices, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, acknowledged in remarks at Princeton University on Friday that they're worried about a public perception that the court is being politicized. The two didn't mention Kavanaugh by name or refer to the confirmation fight.

China tight-lipped on disappeared Interpol chiefChina remained silent Saturday over the disappearance of the head of Interpol, deepening the mystery over the international police chief's fate after reports said he was detained for questioning on arrival in his homeland. Meng Hongwei, 64, was last seen leaving for China in late September from the Interpol headquarters in Lyon, southeast France, a source close to the enquiry told AFP. It is the latest high-profile disappearance in China, where a number of top government officials, billionaire business magnates and even an A-list celebrity have vanished for weeks or months at a time.


Social media contributed to my stroke, says Norman Lamb

Social media contributed to my stroke, says Norman LambA former health minister has said that "addictive" social media contributed to his stroke, as he warned that websites such as Twitter and Facebook could have a "distorting" effect. Norman Lamb, the Lib Dem MP, suffered a minor stroke in March that was at the time attributed to his high workload. He told The Daily Telegraph that his overuse of technology and social media was one of the causes. "I have addictive tendencies," he said. "I use social media late at night, sometimes lying in bed. It's the first thing I look at in the morning. Twitter is very addictive." Mr Lamb, 61, the MP  for North Norfolk and chairman of the Commons science and technology committee that is conducting an inquiry into the effects of social media on young people, served as health minister until 2015. He said technology had increased the "pressure" on MPs, who received "instant feedback" and a "stream of tweets" after public appearances. "You get constituency case work via Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, text messages, emails, phone calls, people turning up at the office," Mr Lamb said. "There's an assumption you'll respond to an email quickly. When you leave it for a few days, there's a pressure of 'Why have you not responded?' "When I had a health shock before Easter, when I discovered I'd had a stroke, I realised I was on a treadmill. I was just struggling to keep on top of it. So I immediately said, 'Someone else can manage my email account'." Mr Lamb's committee's inquiry has heard evidence from young people who spend "all the time on social media". He is sympathetic. "Most people are capable of this drift into obsession," he said. "It's commonplace for teenagers to message each other at two in the morning... You never escape it." Mr Lamb spoke in support of The Daily Telegraph campaign calling for social media companies to have a duty of care towards their users. He said: "These are very powerful organisations making a lot of money, and they have a real moral obligation to safeguard the health and well-being of these generations growing up." However, he urged caution when it comes to regulation. "We mustn't throw the baby out with the bath water – we must be smart and intelligent in how we do this, and work from the basis of evidence," he said.

"The fact that young people can access help, support, guidance on mental health issues and on how you navigate your way through challenges can be of enormous value," Mr Lamb said. "Archie is now thriving and successful in the music business but I remember the moment he was diagnosed with OCD and said 'Dad, why am I the only person going mad?'" "Since nobody else is talking about it, you think you're the only one who is experiencing this. Now, you can go to your room and type in 'OCD', and you realise that actually lots of people are."
