Hungary aims to criminalize aiding illegal migration in 'Stop Soros' bill

Image
By Krisztina Than BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Individuals or groups who help migrants not entitled to protection to submit requests for asylum or who help illegal migrants gain status to stay in Hungary will be liable to jail under legislation submitted to parliament on Tuesday. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has also proposed amending the constitution to state that an "alien population" cannot be settled in Hungary, rejecting European Union quotas to distribute migrants around the bloc. In power since 2010, the right-wing nationalist Orban has tightened state control over the media and campaigned on a platform of fierce hostility to immigration - policies that have put him in conflict with the European Union, which funds development policies to the tune of billions of euros a year. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2L0wkyw via Latest News

NATO, Russia to hold first talks since Skripal attack

Image
NATO will on Thursday hold its first formal talks with Russia since the nerve agent attack on a former Kremlin double agent in Britain, as the alliance seeks to counter Moscow's increasing assertiveness. Tensions between the transatlantic alliance and Russia have hit post-Cold War highs in recent years over Moscow's annexation of Crimea and more recently the attempted assassination of former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the British city of Salisbury. NATO vehemently criticised Moscow over the attack in March, the first hostile use of a nerve agent in Europe since World War Two, and expelled seven Russian diplomats as part of a coordinated international response. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2GWyoFi via Latest News

Malaysia axes project to build high-speed rail link with Singapore

By Liz Lee and John Geddie KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia is cancelling a project to build a high-speed rail link between its capital, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, and will talk with its southern neighbor about any compensation Malaysia has to pay, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Monday. Mahathir, the 92-year-old who triumphed in a general election this month, has made it a priority to cut the national debt and pledged to review big projects agreed by his predecessor that he says are expensive and have no financial benefit. "It is a final decision, but it will take time because we have an agreement with Singapore," Mahathir told a news conference referring to his scrapping of the project, valued by analysts at about $17 billion. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2sd9QU8 via Latest News

British campaigner Andy Tsege released from prison after four years on death row in Ethiopia

Image
A Briton who spent four years on death row in Ethiopia walked out of prison on Tuesday, freed by the regime that once labelled him a “terrorist”. Andargachew Tsege, who fled to Britain in 1974, was greeted by hundreds of supporters who gathered outside his family’s home in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, to celebrate the release of one of the government’s most outspoken critics. Such scenes in one of Africa’s most repressive regimes would have been unthinkable just a few months ago. Mr Andargachew, perhaps unable to grasp the scale of Ethiopia’s rapid political thaw, seemed stunned by the reception. “I did not expect this much turn out,” he said, suggesting he did not deserve  it since “four years in prison is not that much of a sacrifice.” Other dissidents had indeed been incarcerated for longer, though few were captured in such dramatic circumstances. While waiting to catch a connecting flight to Eritrea in 2014, Mr Andargachew was seized by armed men in a transit lounge at an ai

OnePlus 6 torn down to inspect its water protection

Image
The OnePlus 6 has been torn down, burnt, bent and scratched, but its water resistant is yet to be tested. OnePlus never mentioned an IP-rating, so JerryRigEverything set out to find out. Spoilers: all openings appear to be sealed. The big holes (USB, headphone jack, buttons) have rubber rings around them, though the one on the card tray seems a bit small. The sound-related holes (mics, speaker grilles) have meshes to keep the water out. So, the phone is definitely spill-resistant, but it's not clear how it will handle water under pressure - either from submersion or water jets. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Jfcz9d via IFTTT
