Turkey talking to all sides in Syria conflict for Idlib ceasefire

Image
Ankara failed last week to win agreement for a ceasefire from Russia and Iran, President Bashar al-Assad's main backers, but there has been a recent lull in air strikes and a pro-Damascus source indicated a ground attack may not be imminent. Rebels also said some pro-Assad forces had left frontlines in northwest Syria in recent days. Turkey has reinforced a dozen military posts inside the Idlib region, which lies across its southern border and is controlled by Turkey-backed rebels and jihadist fighters, trying to forestall a government assault. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2xhbeqz via Latest News

Deadly gas explosions rock Boston-area towns

Some 8,000 people were driven from their homes in towns near Boston by a series of gas explosions, and it was unclear on Friday when they could go back. The blasts killed at least one person, injured 12 more and destroyed dozens of homes and other buildings in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence on Thursday. Residents who were evacuated “should expect that the restoration process will take several days or longer,” Andrew Maylor, the town manager of North Andover, said on Twitter. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Qw0yNJ via Latest News

Skripal poisoning suspects claim they were tourists in 'wonderful town of Salisbury' to visit 'famous' cathedral

Image
The two Russians charged with attempted murder in the Salisbury nerve agent attack have claimed they were visiting the town's "famous" cathedral as tourists.  Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov were interviewed by the editor-in-chief of state-funded RT - formerly Russia Today - Margarita Simonyan who said she had "spent an evening" with the suspects.  In the interview, they claimed to be in the fitness industry and said friends had suggested they visit "wonderful" Salisbury and go sightseeing around Wiltshire. A UK government spokesman rubbished the men's claims as "obfuscation and lies", and the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "The lies and blatant fabrications in this interview given to a Russian-state sponsored TV station are an insult to public's intelligence." RT ran part of the interview on Thursday morning, in which they said they were the men shown in the CCTV photographs released by British police an...

The end of black politics, revisited

Image
Ten years ago last month, I wrote a long cover story for the New York Times Magazine titled: “Is Obama the End of Black Politics?” The central point of the essay, which featured dozens of black leaders and provoked no shortage of debate, was that Barack Obama’s nomination in 2008 marked a turning point for African-Americans in our public life, from which there would be no going back. Like the Irish and Italians and Jews before them, I posited, a new generation of black leaders were no longer defined by race or confined to representing their community, but rather had taken their place in the mainstream of our politics. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2xborBn via Latest News

Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Is a Victim of Its Own Success

After reporting consistent earnings and same-store sales beats throughout 2018 that have sent its stock up more than 30 percent on the year to new all-time highs, Costco Wholesale Corporation (NYSE: COST) may finally be becoming a victim of its own success. Wells Fargo analyst Edward Kelly downgraded COST stock from "outperform" to "market perform" and says it will be difficult for Costco to impress the market at this point. Kelly says Costco's performance has been stellar in recent quarters, but it's unlikely the company will continue to deliver its impressive sales growth in 2019. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2QxaypS via Latest News

Razer Phone 2 to be unveiled on October 10 indeed

Well, the invite has the boxy rectangular outline of the company's first phone stamped on it, which, it seems, is going to be the outline of the company's second phone as an earlier leak showed.

Asus Zenfone 5z could be getting Android 9.0 Pie soon

Ever since Google released Android 9.0 Pie officially, users around the globe have been wondering when their devices will be getting the latest alteration of the Android OS. Some manufacturers put out their schedule but others stayed silent. Asus was one of the latter. Luckily, we've spotted a Geekbench score sheet of a Zenfone 5z hinting at a nearing rollout.

The recently launched vivo V11 Pro just received a software update that improves system stability, performance and introduces a new Smart Launcher similar to Google Now's cards. And even if the changelog doesn't mention anything about it, it enables 4K video recording as well. The patch is just 151MB big and carries a build number 1.7.6. The 4K video recording capability is a nice surprise as the phone's chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660, is fully capable of capturing high-resolution videos and we were disappointed not to see the option in the first place.

Realme 2 Pro to be announced on September 27

Realme has finally revealed when the next smartphone is coming after teasing it during its Realme 2 announcement.

Two new Huaweis at TENAA: one with 7.12" screen, the other with 6.5"

The specifications of the leatherette Huawei phone have been fully uploaded to TENAA and it is huuuge. It has a gargantuan 7.12" screen and a humongous 4,900mAh battery. Oh, and there's the much smaller Huawei Y9 (2019) as well, but more on that in a minute. Our guess is that the large phone is part of the Huawei nova series, though the hardware is mostly similar to the Honor 8X Max. The screen seems the same, down to the notch and 1,080 x 2244px resolution.

The Pocophone F1 took the Android community by a storm thanks to its flagship worthy specs and exceptionally low price. But of course, to achieve such low price tag, the company had to cut some corners along the way and in this case, it's the build materials.

A toned-down version of the Oppo R17 appears on TENAA, likely running Helio P60

Three new Oppo smartphones just passed through TENAA with model numbers PBCM30, PBCM10 and PBCT10 - all closely related to the recently launched Oppo R17 and R17 Pro although, we assume all three model numbers belong to a single device with different memory configurations. The design, appears to be a blend between the R17-series and the previous generation R15 because the back features a horizontal dual camera alignment in the upper left corner while the front has the waterdrop-styled notch.
