Europe, N.Africa ministers seek to curb Libya migrant flows

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 01:45 PM PDT

Europe, N.Africa ministers seek to curb Libya migrant flowsInterior ministers mainly from the central Mediterranean region met in Rome on Monday to ramp up efforts to curb migration from Libya amid a sharp rise in the number of people trying to cross to Europe. One year after a controversial deal with Turkey to stop migrants setting out across the Aegean Sea for Greece, the European Union is seeking to reach a similar accord with conflict-hit Libya, despite fierce opposition from human rights campaigners. Just this past weekend more than 3,300 people were rescued from unseaworthy vessels off the north African country, bringing the number of arrivals in Italy to nearly 20,000 so far in 2017 -- a significant increase on previous years.

Democrats hope to corner Gorsuch in confirmation battle

Democrats hope to corner Gorsuch in confirmation battleSenate Democrats hope to force Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch into revealing his opinions on abortion rights and the legality of President Trump's travel ban during confirmation hearings that begin Monday. Supreme Court nominees are usually circumspect when asked to share their views on issues that could one day make their way to the court, a standard that Gorsuch's defenders say was set by liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her confirmation hearing in 1993.

Galaxy S8 leaks: The 10 biggest leaks you missed over the weekend

Galaxy S8 leaks: The 10 biggest leaks you missed over the weekend

With less than 10 days to go before Samsung officially takes the wraps off its new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ flagship smartphones, the dam is officially broken. A steady trickle of leaks and rumors over the past few weeks turned into a massive flood, with more than 15 — that's right, fifteen — big leaks that come from at least a dozen different sources.

As exciting as Samsung's next-generation flagship Android phones are, we know you don't have time to dig around the web and find all of those leaks, so we did all of the heavy lifting for you. In this post, you'll find the 10 biggest Galaxy S8 leaks that washed ashore this past weekend. There are photos, pricing information, renders, dummies, and even some size comparisons to enjoy, and you can check them all out below.

First and foremost, the only real question we had left has now been answered by not one but two separate leaks. That's right, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ pricing has now seemingly been revealed.

Serial leaker Evan Blass was first up, and he tweeted that the Galaxy S8 will cost 799€ in Europe while the larger Galaxy S8+ will cost 899€. Remember, we're only expecting Samsung to release each of its Galaxy S8 models with one internal storage size option this year — 64GB — and then users can add a microSD card if they want more space. Blass also noted that a new version of the Gear VR headset will cost 129€, and the desktop experience dock we're expecting Samsung to unveil alongside the Galaxy S8 will cost 150€.

Backing up Blass is our second big leak of the weekend, which comes from a Weibo user with a very solid track record as well. He posted that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ will cost 5970 yuan and 6700 yuan in South Korea, respectively, which converts to roughly the same prices Blass posted in Euros.

With those two out of the way, we turn to a flurry of leaked photos and renders of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Images came in from a wide range of different sources this past weekend, some showing the real phones and others showing dummy units, which are equally interesting since they're exact replicas of Samsung's new flagship phones built using leaked specs from the factories that are building the phones.

Let's quickly run through a bunch of them:

Blass is back in the #3 spot, since he posted what appear to be official marketing renders of the Galaxy S8 in three different different colors: Black sky, orchid grey and arctic silver.

https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/843424632254468096

Renders are nice and all, but there's nothing quite like the real thing. Our fourth big leak comes from another Weibo user, who posted multiple photos of a real Galaxy S8 that is powered on. BGR was one of the first sites to exclusively post photos of an actual Galaxy S8 with the power turned on, and these new photos align perfectly with that leak.

The fifth big leak we're covering today comes from Weibo yet again, and it shows a real Galaxy S8 on a table between an iPhone 7 and a Galaxy S7 edge. These photos give us a great idea of just how impressive Samsung's Galaxy S8 design truly is, since it fits a huge 5.8-inch display into a phone that's not much bigger than Apple's iPhone 7, which has a 4.7-inch screen.

That covers the first five leaks, and the rest come from either Weibo, Twitter or from crowd-sourced gadget leaking site Slashleaks. Unlike the photos above, these leaks all show Galaxy S8 and/or Galaxy S8+ dummy units. But remember, these mockups are made of real glass and aluminum just like Samsung's actual phones, so they obviously give us a very good idea of what to expect from the real devices.

A Weibo user with a handle that roughly translates to "Light Power Technology" posted photos showing that the Galaxy S8+ is roughly the same size as last year's Galaxy S7 edge.

Next up is Slashleaks user "Leakspinner," who posted an image of a black Galaxy S8 dummy net to a purple Galaxy S8 dummy. It's unclear if this purple color will actually make it to Samsung's lineup.

Over on Twitter, user "KK Sneak Leaks" also offered up a few photos of a Galaxy S8 dummy in purple.

https://twitter.com/kksneakleaks/status/843100071012978688

And last but not least we have PCpop, which pulled a few photos off of Weibo that show a Galaxy S8 dummy positioned next to an iPhone 6. Once again, these photos show how compact the S8 is despite its large 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ during a special press conference next Wednesday, March 29th, and the phones are expected to be released about a month later on either April 21st or April 28th.

Pope asks forgiveness for Church role in Rwanda genocideBy Crispian Balmer VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis asked for forgiveness on Monday for the "sins and failings of the Church" during Rwanda's 1994 genocide, saying he hoped his apology would help heal the African state's wounds. At a meeting with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Pope Francis said that priests and Roman Catholic faithful had taken part in the slaughter of some 800,000 people from the ethnic Tutsi minority as well as moderates from the Hutu majority.

Britain to launch Brexit process on March 29: EU sources

Britain to launch Brexit process on March 29: EU sourcesBy Gabriela Baczynska BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will write to the European Union on March 29 formally announcing Britain's withdrawal from the bloc, EU sources told Reuters on Monday, saying Brussels had been told of the plan by British officials. By the end of next week, after he has received May's letter, European Council President Donald Tusk should have distributed draft guidelines for the negotiations to the 27 other national governments. Tusk will also summon those 27 leaders for a summit to endorse the final guidelines, probably in early May. Once those are in place, giving a negotiating mandate to the EU executive, the European Commission, chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier should be able to schedule talks with his British counterpart, Brexit Secretary David Davis.

Exclusive: Almost half of Canadians want illegal border crossers deported - Reuters pollBy Rod Nickel and David Ljunggren WINNIPEG, Manitoba/OTTAWA (Reuters) - Nearly half of Canadians want to deport people who are illegally crossing into Canada from the United States, and a similar number disapprove of how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is handling the influx, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Monday. A significant minority, four out of 10 respondents, said the border crossers could make Canada "less safe," underlining the potential political risk for Trudeau's Liberal government. The increasing flow of hundreds of asylum-seekers of African and Middle Eastern origin from the United States in recent months has become a contentious issue in Canada.

Stephen Hawking has a message for Trump: Don't ignore climate change

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 06:57 AM PDT

Stephen Hawking has a message for Trump: Don't ignore climate changeThe UK's most renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist is still using his exceptional mind to map a theory of how the universe works. But when it comes to matters here on Earth, Stephen Hawking is just as concerned about President Trump's science policies as anyone.  During a recent interview with Good Morning Britain, set to air Monday, Hawking bluntly laid out his views on U.S. administration's science policies.  SEE ALSO: Stephen Hawking reminds us technology will kill us all and it's all our fault "Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it's one we can prevent," said Hawking, according to the Guardian. "It affects America badly, so tackling it should win votes for his [Trump's] second term. God forbid." Hawking also suggested that Trump should, "replace Scott Pruitt at the Environment Protection Agency [EPA]." Pruitt, who has sued the organisation in the past over environmental issues, was a controversial choice to lead the EPA, with current and former staffers protesting his selection.  'People who boast about their IQ are losers.'Catch @PiersMorgan's exclusive interview with Professor #StephenHawking on tomorrow's GMB. pic.twitter.com/4GG6nFExhQ — Good Morning Britain (@GMB) March 19, 2017 But one of the biggest surprises from Hawking — a recipient of the U.S. Franklin Medal for science and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (from Barack Obama in 2009) — was his personal concerns regarding the new immigration policies in the U.S.  "I would like to visit again and to talk to other scientists," said Hawking, "but I fear that I may not be welcome."  The television program gave a small preview of Hawking's appearance via Twitter, where the scientist tossed off his now familiar quip about intelligence: "People who boast about their IQ are losers."

Peru struggles with devastating El Niño flooding

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 06:39 AM PDT

Peru struggles with devastating El Niño floodingPeruvians struggled on Sunday to cope with avalanches, mudslides and extensive flash flooding caused by torrential downpours, and forecasters predicted still more rain ahead, prolonging the country's woes. The highly unusual rains follow a series of storms that have struck hard along Peru's northern coast, with voracious waters inundating hospitals and leaving some small villages isolated. Peru's government said that 374 people were killed in 1998 during a similar period of massive rains and flooding caused by rains blamed on the El Niño climate pattern.

Travel ban, strong dollar seen putting damper on U.S. tourism sector

Posted: 20 Mar 2017 06:22 AM PDT

Travel ban, strong dollar seen putting damper on U.S. tourism sectorTravel and tourism's contribution to the U.S. economy will grow at a slower pace this year than in 2016 due to a strong U.S. dollar and a perception that the country is less welcoming to foreigners, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) said. U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month signed a revised executive order banning citizens from six Muslim-majority nations from traveling to the United States, which some have warned could deter visitors. "The travel ban is not having a material impact yet.
