Trump maintains confidence in FBI head amid wiretap friction Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:39 PM PST By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump still has confidence in FBI Director James Comey, the White House said on Monday, despite his assertiveness in challenging Trump's claim that the Obama administration wiretapped him during the 2016 election campaign. Federal Bureau of Investigation head Comey has asked the Justice Department to reject Trump's accusation that former President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap at Trump Tower in New York because the claim was false and must be corrected, a federal law enforcement official said.

Bizarre Tesla Model S fire at Supercharger station prompts ‘full investigation’ Posted: 06 Mar 2017 01:03 PM PST Tesla is currently investigating what may have caused a Model S P85 to catch fire while at one of the company's Supercharger stations in Shanghai, China. The incident occurred late last week, and curiously enough, initial reports indicate that the car wasn't actively charging at the time the fire began to spread. The fire was ultimately put out and thankfully no one was harmed during the incident. Addressing the matter in a statement provided to Electrek recently, Tesla said that it plans to conduct a full investigation into the matter. "No one was harmed in this incident," a Tesla spokesperson said. "We're undergoing a full investigation and we'll share our findings as soon as possible." Tesla, to its credit, has a history of being extremely transparent when it comes to providing full details about serious incidents involving its growing fleet of cars. A few photos of the charred out Tesla Model S P85 can be viewed below, courtesy of Reddit user JayinShanghai. While we certainly don't want to draw any sweeping conclusions about the incident until Tesla figures out exactly what went wrong, it's worth noting this isn't the first time we've seen a story involving a Tesla seemingly catching fire for no reason. This past August, for example, a driver taking a Model S 90D for a test drive heard a loud noise before noticing a message on the dashboard which read, "Problems with charging." Shortly thereafter, the driver pulled over whereupon the car reportedly burst into flames just one minute later. All of the passengers managed to escape unscathed and firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and put the fire out. A sensational photo of the burning Tesla can be seen below.

Trump signs revised travel ban, exempts Iraqis Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:42 PM PST US President Donald Trump signed a revised ban on travelers from six Muslim-majority nations Monday, scaling back the order to exempt Iraqis and permanent US residents. With his first attempt frozen by federal courts, Trump signed a second order halting new visas for Syrians, Iranians, Libyans, Somalis, Yemenis and Sudanese citizens. The White House said Trump -- who is embroiled in controversy over his aides' links to Russia -- signed the order behind closed doors Monday morning.

Nigeria seeks U.S. immigration clarity, advises against non-urgent travel Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:24 PM PST Nigeria has advised its citizens against any non-urgent travel to the United States until Washington clarifies its immigration policy, after several incidents in which people with valid visas were denied entry, a presidential aide said on Monday. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, said no reasons were given for the cases over recent weeks in which Nigerians with valid multiple-entry U.S. visas had been denied entry and sent back to Nigeria. The West African country is not among a group of Muslim-majority countries from which President Donald Trump wants to suspend travel to the United States on security grounds.

Citing lack of proof, Philippine senators end Duterte 'death squad' inquiry Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:19 AM PST By Martin Petty and Manuel Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine senators abruptly ended a hearing on Monday into allegations by a retired policeman that a "death squad" operated under President Rodrigo Duterte when he was mayor of Davao City, citing no proof that it even existed. Arturo Lascanas admitted to lying in October during another Senate inquiry into alleged extrajudicial killings by a hit squad linked to Duterte, but said he did so for his family's safety and because police had warned him to "deny everything".

Hoard of coins extracted from sea turtle Posted: 06 Mar 2017 10:32 AM PST Thai veterinarians on Monday removed 915 coins from a 25-year-old sea turtle which had been swallowing items thrown into her pool for good luck, eventually limiting her ability to swim. The coins and other objects removed from the turtle named Omsin - piggy bank in Thai - weighed 5 kg (11 lb). The green sea turtle, living at a conservation center in Sriracha, Chonburi, east of the Thai capital of Bangkok, had been finding it hard to swim normally because of the weight.

Is 20,000 a Floor or Ceiling for the Dow?

Poachers kill rare giant elephant in Kenya Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:42 AM PST One of Africa's oldest and largest elephants was killed by poachers in Kenya on Monday, according to a conservation group that protects the dwindling group of giant "tuskers". Richard Moller of the Tsavo Trust told AFP that Satao II, named after another famed giant killed in 2014, was found dead on Monday and was believed to have been shot with a poisoned arrow, though this had not been confirmed. "Luckily, through the work we do with the Kenyan Wildlife Service (KWS), we were able to find the carcass before the poachers could recover the ivory," said Moller.

How to use the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers with PC, Mac and Android Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:27 AM PST The list of missing features and functionality on the Nintendo Switch is frustratingly long, but there are several welcome surprises as well. For example, shortly after the Switch launched last week, gamers quickly discovered that the Joy-Con controllers are compatible with devices other than the Switch. Like the Wii Remotes before them, Joy-Con controllers connect to the Switch via Bluetooth, so linking them with other Bluetooth-enabled devices is rather trivial. The same is true of the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 controller and the Xbox One's wireless controller. In other words, it isn't exactly a shocking discovery, but with all of the head-scratching decisions that Nintendo makes, it's good to know that this still works. French fan site Nintendo Actu has been testing the Joy-Cons with a variety of devices, and has found that the controllers are natively detected by both Windows PCs and Android devices. In fact, Windows specifically detects the Joy-Con (R) and Joy-Con (L) as discrete controllers, which means you can play games cooperatively on your computer with the two tiny controllers if you've got two players. As The Verge notes, PC games don't recognize the Joy-Cons as viable controllers, which means you'll need to use a program like JoyToKey if you want to play with the Switch controllers on your computer. This doesn't quite make up for all the sync issues that new Switch owners have been facing with their Joy-Cons, but it's nice to know that the controllers can be used on other devices.

Galaxy S8 shown off in new leaked hands-on video Posted: 06 Mar 2017 08:48 AM PST Samsung will unveil its hotly anticipated new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ flagship phones during a big press conference in New York City on March 29th, and the phones are expected to be released less than one month later on April 21st. Of course, we'll already know everything there is to know about the company's next-generation flagship phones long before either of those dates actually arrive. A long string of rumors and leaks led up to last Wednesday, when BGR exclusively gave the world its best look yet at the Galaxy S8 — since Samsung didn't want to unveil the hot new phone during MWC 2017, we figured we would take care of the Galaxy S8 unveiling instead. That exclusive leak might be the biggest one so far, but it's certainly not the last. Galaxy S8 leaks will continue to flow right up until Samsung unveils the new phone later this month, and now we have a new leak to toss onto the ever-expanding pile. A YouTube user by the name of "505nick aka DkDn" posted a video this past weekend of what appears to be a genuine pre-release Galaxy S8. The phone looks exactly like everything we've seen in leaks we've seen so far. In fact, the person who posted the video didn't even bother to obscure what appear to be identification stickers placed on the back of pre-release devices so that Samsung can track them. In other words, someone showed up to work at Samsung on Monday morning in a whole lot of trouble. The video itself is only 5 seconds long, but that's more than enough time to give us an idea of exactly how the phone fits in the hand. Despite the huge 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display on the Galaxy S8, it still appears to be quite comfortable to use thanks to a nearly all-screen design with no side bezels and barely any bezels above and below the display. There's not much else to note that we haven't already seen in previous leaks, but it's still a worthwhile watch considering this very well may be the hottest Android phone of 2017. The full video is embedded below, and check out our earlier Galaxy S8 exclusive for everything you need to know about the phone's specs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv1atGLjKag This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Twin Rhode Island sisters, 97, die in falls on frigid weekend Posted: 06 Mar 2017 08:31 AM PST A pair of 97-year-old twin sisters died over the weekend after one fell while exiting her car and the other appeared to trip while rushing into their Rhode Island home to call for help, police said.

Top Asian News 3:01 p.m. GMT Posted: 06 Mar 2017 07:15 AM PST SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Monday fired four banned ballistic missiles that flew about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) on average, with three of them landing in waters that Japan claims as its exclusive economic zone, South Korean and Japanese officials said. The test-launches appeared to be a reaction to huge U.S.-South Korean military drills that those countries consider routine but that Pyongyang insists are an invasion rehearsal. It was not immediately clear the exact type of missile fired, but the tests will be viewed as a provocation by the Trump administration, which is working on its policy for North Korea.

Confidant of New Jersey governor to be sentenced in airline scheme Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:35 AM PST A former confidant of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be sentenced on Monday for pressuring United Airlines into operating a flight to an airport near his vacation home, a case that grew out of the "Bridgegate" investigation. David Samson, 77, a former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, faces as much as two years in prison on charges that he used his position to coerce United to reverse its cancellation of a route between Newark, New Jersey, and Columbia, South Carolina.

Trump’s evidence-free wiretap allegation dominates Sunday talk shows Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:06 AM PST President Trump's assertion that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones before the election dominated the political talk shows on Sunday. Across the networks, the White House defended the commander in chief's call for a congressional investigation into the matter, while Democratic lawmakers and former Obama administration officials dismissed the accusation as absurd. On ABC's "This Week," White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to reframe Trump's wiretapping claim — which he stated as a fact — as something that may have happened.
