| Trump says he, Putin discussed new nuclear pact possibly including China Posted: 03 May 2019 12:41 PM PDT  Trump and Putin also discussed efforts to persuade North Korea to give up nuclear weapons, the political discord in Venezuela, and Ukraine during a call that stretched over an hour. The 2011 New START treaty, the only U.S.-Russia arms control pact limiting deployed strategic nuclear weapons, expires in February 2021 but can be extended for five years if both sides agree. Trump cited the expense of keeping up the U.S. nuclear arsenal as a motivating factor behind wanting to limit how many weapons are deployed.

| Venezuela opposition figure, facing arrest warrant, says he met with generals Posted: 03 May 2019 06:38 AM PDT  Suggesting coordination continues with armed forces figures in the campaign to oust Maduro, Lopez said more "military movements" were on the way. The pre-dawn military uprising on Tuesday, urged on by opposition leader and Lopez ally Juan Guaido, failed to gain steam as security forces loyal to Maduro cracked down on demonstrators who had taken to the streets in support of Guaido. Lopez, a firebrand politician and Guaido's mentor, was arrested during a protest movement in 2014 and transferred to house arrest in 2017.

| Europe’s first 5G phone is already here, but it’s not the phone we expected Posted: 03 May 2019 12:37 AM PDT  The 5G networks are finally here, but they're more exciting on paper than in real life. That's because carriers are still rolling out 5G support on a market-by-market basis. Initial data speeds won't nearly be as impressive as they are on paper, but they're still much faster than 4G, though you might experience connectivity issues.That said, 5G adoption has to start somewhere, and Europe is about to get is own taste of 5G. Korean and US carriers turned on their 5G networks in the past few weeks, and now Europe is about to get its first 5G phone, but it's not the device you might suspect Europeans would be getting.Samsung's Galaxy S10 5G was launched in Korea a few weeks ago, and Verizon has just started taking preorders for it. But it's not going to be Europe's first 5G phone. OnePlus has long confirmed that it'll partner with UK mobile operator EE to launch its first 5G phone, and the two companies already confirmed plans to launch the device in the second quarter of the year. We now know the phone's name and its launch date -- the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G will be unveiled on May 14th. But that's not going to be Europe's first 5G phone either.The honor apparently goes to the Oppo Reno 5G, VentureBeat reports, which is available from Swiss carrier Swisscom. The 256GB Reno 5G sells for around $1,000. Swisscom is using the 3.5GHz spectrum to deliver speeds of up to 2Gbps on 5G, with customers expected to pay a $10 premium over 4G 100Mbps speeds. The service will be available initially in 100 local markets, with nationwide coverage promised by the end of 2019.Switzerland also has a second carrier ready to offer 5G service to its customers. Sunrise opened sales for the 256GB Huawei Mate 20 X 5G a day after Swisscom -- the phone is also priced at around $1,000. On top of that, Sunrise is also selling a 128GB Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 for $830 in the region. However, these are only preorders, with the phones expected to ship in late May. Sunrise will cover 173 markets initially and use 3.5GHz and 700Mhz bands for 5G service.
