The U.S. Treasury said it sanctioned PDVSA chief Manuel Quevedo, three top intelligence officials and Rafael Bastardo, who U.S. officials say is the head of a national police unit responsible for dozens of extrajudicial killings carried out in nighttime raids on Maduro's behalf. Separately, a U.S. official said U.S. military aircraft are expected to deliver more than 200 tons of humanitarian aid to the Venezuelan border in Colombia, with the shipment likely to take place on Saturday. The steps are part of a wider effort by the United States to undermine Maduro, whose 2018 election it views as illegitimate and whose government it has disavowed, and to strengthen opposition leader and self-declared president Juan Guaido. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2GMDmIz via Latest News

A U.S. Border Patrol agent listens from the front row as President Donald Trump declares a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border during remarks about border security in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, D.C., Feb. 15, 2019. President Trump’s rambling declaration of a national emergency, the intent of which was to fund a barrier along hundreds of miles on the U.S. border with Mexico, was filled with factual inaccuracies, misleading statements and contradictions. In his Rose Garden remarks on Friday, Trump repeated many of the same disproven claims he has made over the last several weeks about drug smuggling, human trafficking and other crime at the border. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2EgmrMV via Latest News

What a weasel word “collusion” is.In Washington, Senator Richard Burr (R., N.C.), chairman of the Intelligence Committee, has now seen fit to pronounce that, after two years of investigation, the panel has found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian regime. Meanwhile, in a nearby courtroom, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s senior staffer, Andrew Weissmann, told a federal judge that an August 2016 meeting between the then-chairman of the Trump campaign and a suspected Russian intelligence officer “goes . . . very much to the heart of what the special counsel is investigating” -- which sure sounds like Mueller’s collusion hunt is alive and well.What gives?Readers of these columns know that the “collusion” label has been a pet peeve of your humble correspondent since the media-Democratic “Putin hacked the election” narrative followed hard on the declaration of Donald Trump’s victory in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, November 9, 2016.The reason for the co

Democrats and campaign groups have vowed to fight Donald Trump’s “unlawful” national emergency declaration as he revealed plans to raid existing government funds to build his Mexico border wall.  The US president hopes to gather $8 billion through various means to construct barriers along America’s southern border, declaring at a White House press conference that “walls work 100 per cent”.  Most controversial is the $3.6 billion Mr Trump wants to redirect from existing military construction projects by using a power only available to him after declaring a national emergency. He also plans to take $2.5 billion from the Pentagon’s anti-drugs fund and $600 million from money forfeited to the Treasury. A further $1.375 billion comes from legislation agreed by Congress in a compromise spending deal.    “We’re going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border and we’re going to do it one way or the other,” Mr Trump said. He added: “We have an invasion of drugs and crimina

The last time something like this happened was in 2003, except then the switchover was from "no camera" to "one camera". If you look closely, you'll see the green sprout that starts in 2017 and stretches to 2018 - this represents the phones with a triple rear camera. We expect the number to grow this year and keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. We don't see this trend reversing. Mechanical zoom is unfeasible on current mobile. Also, utility modules - things like... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2GulHpC via IFTTT

Foldable display tech is quickly and surely shaping up as the most explosive tech "hot topic" of 2019. Everybody who's anybody and their uncle seems to be working on a concept right now. And while the tech clearly still has its limitations, as evidenced by the first actual, even if obscure, devices we have seen out of the gate, the hype is very much there and growing rapidly. MWC 2019 will surely fuel that even further with players like Samsung, Huawei, LG and Xiaomi expected to touch on the topic in some way and perhaps even show off devices. Meanwhile Cupertino seems to be taking... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2GsZLuZ via IFTTT

Back in August last year Motorola, or Lenovo, depending on you preference, unveiled the Moto Z3 - still its current flagship offer. Along with it at the special Chicago event came the 4G Moto Mod - a somewhat odd result of a new-found 5G hype, combined with an ongoing promise of Modo Mod compatibility and investment in the ecosystem. After that initial wave of viral media coverage for what was essentially, at the time, a shell, with a 2,000 mAh battery pack and space to eventually fit in one of Qualcomm's X50 5G modems, the 5G Moto Mod slipped into obscurity. Until late last month, when... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2EdYi9q via IFTTT

Huawei's plans regarding the new P30 and P30 Pro flagships, upcoming 5G devices and MWC 2019 presence are kind of lacking particulars at the moment. As far as we know, the company will be teasing/unveiling or at the very least discussing 5G at its February 24 Barcelona event. That being said, however, a recent press release, dealing with Huawei's Polish branch did accidentally hint that the new P30 flagship will be unveiled in Paris at the end of March (likely March 28). A historical favourite combination of location and time frame for Huawei unveilings. Huawei P30 and P30 Pro... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2S7mLkv via IFTTT

A rather interesting image was recently posted by one Evan Blass, also know as "evleaks" on Twitter of what appears to be the next member of LG's "V" lineup - the V50 ThinQ. Even though it showed up out of the blue, while most of us were busy discussing the G8 ThinQ as the next big thing in camp LG, it doesn't actually catch us by surprise. A quick recap of recent development surrounding LG includes info that the Korean giant will be bringing both the G8 and V50 to MWC 2018. More specifically - it will be unveiling both phones at its February 24 event in Barcelona. Coincidentally, the same... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2BC7bbu via IFTTT

The Samsung Galaxy A50 has actually been frequenting the rumor mill for a few months now. Starting from a benchmark leak all the way back in December 2018, followed by more specs leaks, a Wi-Fi certification, some body part shots and finally culminating in a recent full-specs leak. The latter showcased the first wave of Samsung's new and upcoming Galaxy A mid-ranger series, following the double digit convention, already established by devices like the Galaxy M10 and M20. Clearly, there isn't much mystery left regarding the Galaxy A50. Still, as the "top-dog" of the mid-ranger pack, as we... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2to7cLl via IFTTT

Xiaomi has made sort of a habit of high-ranking employee teasers for its upcoming phones over the past few weeks. And while the social "campaign" for the Mi 9 flagship comes nowhere near the fruit-themed video series that preceded the Redmi Note 7 launch, company CEO Lei Jun did already publish a few official images of the phone. In a similar development, Lin Bin - Xiaomi president and co-founder posted what he says is an actual device photo as well. Unfortunately, it is just the one still, but it does show off a different color option for the upcoming Mi 9. One that can probably be... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles http://bit.ly/2IiqiNz via IFTTT
