Oppo R15 Pro review

Image
The Oppo R15 announcements was tainted by a massive media charade. Between the OnePlus 6 guesses and keywords clickbait, it was a tough job to see what the Oppo R15 really was. Especially when the R15 name was nowhere to be found. So, today we'll try to correct this wrong by taking you on an adventure with one of China's latest fashion icons. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2qAkvqf via IFTTT

Counterclockwise: our favorite models that companies no longer make

Image
Last week we reminisced about favorite old brands, but that was just part of the story - while many brands are still around, some of their product lines have been discontinued and we wouldn't mind seeing them come back to life. The Nokia PureView is an easy pick, the 808 was a feat of engineering and the Lumias pioneered some now standard camera features. We don't insist on the name (which is owned by Microsoft), a new N-series would be just as cool. Also, we wouldn't terribly mind a phone that can match the build quality of the E-series.

American Airlines resumes flying over Russian airspace after one-day halt

Image
(Reuters) - American Airlines Group Inc on Sunday resumed flying routes that use Russian airspace after having rerouted flights on Saturday due to its monitoring of "global geopolitical issues", a spokesman said. U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday evening announced military strikes targeting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons capabilities. On Saturday, American Airlines' Dallas-Beijing, Dallas-Hong Kong and Chicago-Beijing flights had stopped in Los Angeles to refuel because the routes cannot be flown non-stop without the use of Russian airspace. ... from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2HrRasy via Latest News

Syria strikes - as it happened: Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons capability 'set back for years' by bombing, Pentagon says

Image
Joint air strikes by the US, UK and France have set back Syria’s chemical weapons capability “for years”, the US military said. Cruise missiles were fired at three sites in response to what Theresa May called the “despicable and barbaric” attack in Douma last week that is believed to have killed up to 75 people. Ms May said Bashar al-Assad could face even further strikes if chemical weapons are used again - and the US warned that they were "locked and loaded" if poison used again. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2qtWmSe via Latest News

Assad ally Hezbollah plays down 'total war' risk over Syria

Lebanon's Hezbollah movement played down on Friday the risk that the Syrian crisis would spiral into a U.S.-Russian military conflict, but its leader raised the possibility of a "direct fight" between Iran and Israel. The heavily armed and Tehran-backed Shi'ite movement has been a vital military ally of President Bashar al-Assad in the seven-year-old Syrian war. "We rule out the situation developing into a direct American-Russian clash or a wide state of war," said deputy Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem, although this depended on the behaviour of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2H06FJ2 via Latest News

Syrian army vows to press war, rebels say strikes not enough

Image
By Tom Perry and Ellen Francis BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian opposition said Western strikes on Saturday would not change the course of the seven-year-old war as the army said it would crush remaining rebel parts of the country. The missiles by the United States, Britain, and France targeted President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons capabilities in response to a deadly poison gas attack near Damascus a week ago, Washington said. Some insurgent officials said they feared an onslaught against the rebel bastion of Idlib, which a senior Iranian official has indicated could be the next target. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2H36Fbi via Latest News

British jets in 'successful' strike on chemical weapons base in Syria as Theresa May denies aim is 'regime change'

Image
British jets fired missiles at a Syrian military base suspected of holding chemical weapons ingredients on Saturday in the UK's first military action against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Theresa May, the Prime Minister, said the "limited and targeted strike" was part of joint action with France and the United States in response to Syria’s latest alleged chemical weapons atrocity. "There is no practicable alternative to the use of force to degrade and deter the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime," Mrs May said in a televised statement. "This is not about intervening in a civil war. It is not about regime change. "It is about a limited and targeted strike that does not further escalate tensions in the region and that does everything possible to prevent civilian casualties," she said. Mrs May said "a significant body of information including intelligence" pointed to Syrian government responsibility for a suspected chemical ...

Britain says Russia spied on Skripals before poisoning

Image
Russian intelligence was spying on former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia for at least five years before they were poisoned in a nerve agent attack, Britain's National Security Adviser Mark Sedwill said in a letter to NATO on Friday. Sedwill also said that Russia has tested means of delivering chemical agents "including by application to door handles", pointing out that the highest concentration of the chemical found after the attack was on Skripal's front door handle. "We have information indicating Russian intelligence service interest in the Skripals, dating back at least as far as 2013, when email accounts belonging to Yulia Skripal were targeted by GRU cyber specialists," Sedwill wrote in the letter, referring to Russia's foreign military intelligence agency. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2IU7AHg via Latest News

Jeremy Corbyn urged Theresa May to postpone 'legally questionable' Syria strikes at the eleventh hour

Image
Jeremy Corbyn urged Theresa May to postpone what he described as the "legally questionable" Syrian air strikes during last-minute talks with Downing Street Friday night.  The Labour leader said the missile attack by Britain and the USA on Syria will make it less likely the Assad regime will be held accountable for war crimes. He also criticised Theresa May for “taking instructions from Washington” and said the Prime Minister should have obtained Parliament’s backing before launching the strikes. Speaking after the US, UK and France bombed multiple Syrian government targets in an early morning operation aimed at destroying alleged chemical weapons sites, Mr Corbyn said: "Bombs won't save lives or bring about peace. “This legally questionable action risks escalating further, as US defence secretary James Mattis has admitted, an already devastating conflict and therefore makes real accountability for war crimes and use of chemical weapons less, not more likely...
