Image
Five migrants died and nearly 200 were rescued off the coast of Libya while trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe in two boats, the Libyan navy said Saturday. Three children and nine women were among 94 migrants rescued on Friday when their inflatable dinghy sank 12 nautical miles from Garabulli, east of the capital Tripoli.

South Carolina Republican congressional candidate Katie Arrington, who ousted incumbent U.S. Representative Mark Sanford in a primary this month, was seriously injured in a car crash that killed the driver of a second vehicle, her campaign said on Saturday. Arrington, 47, was the passenger in a car driven by a friend on Friday night when a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction struck them on Highway 17 in Charleston County as they were going to Hilton Head where Arrington was to receive an award from a state medical organization, her campaign said. Campaign spokesman Michael Mule said Arrington will definitely stay in the race for Congress. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2yBJDnT via Latest News

Turkey's Erdogan claims election victory, opposition wary

Image
By Ece Toksabay and Tuvan Gumrukcu ANKARA (Reuters) - Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AK Party claimed victory in Turkey's presidential and parliamentary polls on Sunday, overcoming the biggest electoral challenge to their rule in a decade and a half. "Our people have given us the job of carrying out the presidential and executive posts," Erdogan said in a short national address as votes were still being counted. Sunday's vote ushers in a powerful new executive presidency long sought by Erdogan and backed by a small majority of Turks in a 2017 referendum. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2ly7onC via Latest News

Weekly poll: what do you think of the Oppo Find X?

Image
What if the future of bezel-less phones lies not with screen notches but with pop-up mechanisms that offer an alternative placement for the selfie camera (and other components)? It's not so much an "if" as far as Oppo is concerned - its new Find X is a reality. Similar to NEX S from sister company vivo, but with key differences. For one, it goes all in on the pop-up trick - it's not just the selfie camera, but the rear cameras as well, not to mention the structured light 3D facial scanner. That's right, Oppo is the third company to use structured light for biometric authentication. It even... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2KdsClj via IFTTT

Earlier this week Apple released its second beta of iOS 12 to developers.

Counterclockwise: the relationship between dual SIM slots and microSD cards

Image
SIM - the Subscriber Identity Module - is an ever-shrinking card that acts as your access pass to the carrier's cell network. Once it was used to store your phone book and text messages, now it's under threat of extinction. Embedded SIM solutions have started cropping up, mostly in smartwatches where a maker can make a reasonable claim that dropping the card slot is a space-saving solution. But Google put an eSIM in its second-gen Pixel phones (used to connect to the Google Fi network), and Apple has its own "Apple SIM" embedded in iPads.

Erdogan on course for victory in Turkish election, state media reports

Image
Recep Tayyip Erdogan looked on course to win re-election in Turkey last night, according to state media, but the Turkish opposition claimed the results were being manipulated in the president’s favour. Mr Erdogan needed to win more than 50 per cent of the vote in order to win the election in one round and avoid going into a run-off against his main challenger Muharrem Ince, the candidate of the centre-left Republican People’s Party (CHP). The state-run Andalou Agency news agency reported that with 98 per cent of ballot boxes counted, Mr Erdogan had won 53 per cent of the vote and was heading towards a first round victory.  But Mr Ince accused state media of “manipulating” the results to make it appear that Mr Erdogan was racing towards victory and urged his supporters not to lose heart.  "They are giving the results from Erdogan majority areas first. I'm calling on our ballot box officials: don't be demoralised and never leave the ballots,” he said on Twitter.  Initial res

Ethiopian prime minister escapes rally grenade attack that kills one, wounds scores

Image
By Aaron Maasho ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia's new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed escaped a grenade attack on Saturday at a rally in the capital that killed one person and left scores wounded, officials and witnesses said. The attack was launched by an unidentified assailant moments after 41-year-old prime minister, a former soldier who took office in April, finished his speech to tens of thousands of people gathered in the centre of Addis Ababa. Addressing the nation on television shortly after the blast and still wearing a green t-shirt he was handed at the rally, Abiy said the attack was an "attempt by forces who do not want to see Ethiopia united." Abiy had promised the crowd in his speech in Addis Ababa's Meskel Square that he would bring more transparency to government and reconciliation to a nation of 100 million people that has been torn by protests since 2015. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2K5NPS3 via Latest News
