Merkel's government frays as migrant row festers in Germany

Image
By Gernot Heller and Andrea Shalal BERLIN (Reuters) - Angela Merkel's conservative alliance may splinter in a row over immigration, an ally of the German chancellor said on Friday, as the third party in her fragile government suggested its patience was wearing thin. The dispute between Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) sister party threatens the future of her coalition three months after it took office, just as European divisions over migrants are causing rifts between EU partners. "I believe (Merkel) will try to the very end to find unity in the matter," said CDU home affairs spokesman Mathias Middelberg. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2JPZr7G via Latest News

Italy bans more migrant rescue boats

Image
Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Saturday warned another migrant rescue mission off the Libyan coast that it would not be allowed to land its "human cargo" at an Italian port. The new rightwing and anti-immigrant Italian government last week banned the French NGO operated vessel the Aquarius, with more than 600 rescued migrants on board, from docking in Italy, causing uproar and a sharp spat with France. Spain subsequently offered to take the Aquarius and it is expected at the port of Valencia on Sunday. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2ldVhfh via Latest News

Counterclockwise: selfie photography with cameras that rotate and slide

Image
The word "selfie" was the Oxford Dictionary word of the year in 2013, but the practice is much older than that. Much older - many consider the first selfie to be this photo of Robert Cornelius from 1839. Years later, cameras came to phones and not long after that were used to photograph their owners. We don't know which bathroom mirror was used to take the first cameraphone selfie, but we know we've come a long way since. The bathroom mirror trick was needed because phones had only one camera back then. Some even had fewer - the Sony Ericsson T68i camera was an external add-on.... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2JT1sA9 via IFTTT
