'President Trump believes the climate is changing': Ambassador Haley Posted: 03 Jun 2017 02:07 PM PDT (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump "believes the climate is changing," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Saturday after Trump's decision to take the United States out of the Paris climate accord sparked dismay across the world. "President Trump believes the climate is changing and he believes pollutants are part of the equation," Haley said during an excerpt of a CNN interview released on Saturday. Trump "knows that it's changing and that the U.S. has to be responsible for it and that's what we're going to do," Haley said. |

Today, Israel's 50-year occupation of Palestinian territory and its continuing settlement building are seen as major stumbling blocks to any peace efforts. |

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. |

France, India to cooperate in fighting climate change Posted: 03 Jun 2017 07:13 AM PDT By Geert De Clercq PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday their countries would cooperate in the fight against climate change, just days after the U.S. withdrew from the Paris climate agreement. Modi, whose country is the world's third-biggest emissions generator, said in Russia on Friday that he would continue to back the deal and Macron has said the 2015 Paris agreement is irreversible despite U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw. "The protection of the environment and the mother planet is an article of faith," Modi said at a joint news conference with Macron in Paris. |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. Netanyahu, who had visited east Africa in July 2016, vowed that they had "no better partner" than his country after he was received by Liberian President and outgoing head of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. "Israel is coming back to Africa and Africa is coming back to Israel. |

"Enough is enough" PM May says after London attackers kill seven Posted: 04 Jun 2017 02:55 PM PDT By Guy Faulconbridge and Estelle Shirbon LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May said Britain must be tougher in stamping out Islamist extremism after attackers killed at least seven people by ramming a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbing revelers in nearby bars. After the third militant attack in Britain in less than three months, May said Thursday's national election would go ahead. "It is time to say enough is enough," the Conservative leader said outside her Downing Street office, where British flags flew at half-staff. |
Isolated US lashes out at climate critics Posted: 02 Jun 2017 06:37 PM PDT The White House hit back Friday at criticism of Donald Trump's decision to scrap a major global climate deal, accusing Europe of trying to "shackle" the US economy and refusing to acknowledge climate change is real. With the United States virtually isolated on the world stage, a string of administration officials went on the offensive Friday to justify the Republican president's decision to abandon the 195-nation Paris deal curbing global emissions. Trump's top climate advisor Scott Pruitt was indignant: "The world applauded when we joined Paris. |

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. |
Toyota ends electric-car ties with Tesla: report Posted: 03 Jun 2017 01:32 AM PDT Toyota has terminated its tie-up with Tesla and stepped up efforts to develop electric vehicles by itself, a newspaper said Saturday. Two years later they jointly developed sport utility vehicles with electric-power engines and sold some 2,500 units in California and other markets. The Corolla and Prius hybrid maker, meanwhile, has set up a joint team with its group companies to develop electric cars, it said. |

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. |
