Taiwan clears Xiaomi, other smartphone brands of breaching data privacy

Posted:

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwanese regulators cleared on Tuesday Chinas Xiaomi Inc [XTC.UL] and other smartphone brands of breaching local data protection laws after national security concerns triggered the government to launch a probe in September.The National Communications Commission, in a report concluding the investigation, said all the 12 brands it had tested, which include handsets sold by Apple Inc, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, LG Electronics Inc and Sony Corp, did not violate the laws.James Lou, an NCC official who was involved in the testing, said the commission, however, would request mobile phone makers make information transmission more secure.The probe, which also involved Chinese handset makers Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and ZTE Corp, was a reminder of the scrutiny Chinese technology firms are subject to abroad as governments become increasingly wary of potential cyber security threats from the worlds second-biggest economy.It also highlights Taiwans sensitivity to security issues involving China, its largest trading partner but one which has never renounced the use of force to take back what it deems a renegade province.Privately owned Xiaomi, whose budget smartphones are popular throughout Asia, was previously accused of breaching data privacy. In August, the company apologized and said it would change a default feature after a Finnish security company said Xiaomi collected address book data without users permission.In September, Taiwans government began performing independent tests on Xiaomi phones after media reports said that some models automatically send user data back to the firms servers in mainland China.The probe was then widened to include local and foreign handsets. The NCC report said handsets made by local firms HTC Corp, Asustek Computer Inc, Far EasTone Telecommunications Co Ltd, Taiwan Mobile Co Ltd and U.S.-based InFocus Corp, whose handsets are made by Taiwans Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, were also cleared of breaching the data protection laws.

Palestinian resolution defeated in UN Security Council vote

Posted:

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - The UN Security Council failed Tuesday to adopt a resolution on Palestinian statehood that was strongly opposed by the United States.China, France and Russia were among the eight countries that voted in favor of the text, but the resolution failed to garner the nine yes votes necessary for adoption in the 15-member council.Australia and the United States voted against, and five other countries abstained, including Britain.The resolution set a 12-month deadline for Israel to reach a final peace deal with the Palestinians and called for a full Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories by the end of 2017.This resolution sets the stage for more division, not for compromise, said US Ambassador Samantha Power.Security Council member Jordan had requested the vote on the measure drafted by the Palestinians, who are seeking to expand the role of the United Nations in Middle East peace efforts.The United States had rejected the resolution, arguing that it set arbitrary deadlines and did not address Israels security concerns.This text addresses the concerns of just one side, said Power.US Secretary of State John Kerry had lobbied in the days leading up to the vote, calling 13 foreign ministers to explain US opposition.Washington was not, however, compelled to resort to its veto power to block the measure -- a move that could have undermined US standing in the Arab world.A US veto risked angering key Arab allies, including partners in the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.The vote caps a three-month campaign by the Palestinians at the United Nations to win support for a resolution that sets a timeframe for ending the Israeli occupation.On Monday, the Palestinians presented changes to the text, toughening up language on East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state and demanding an end to Jewish settlement building.

Venezuela enters recession, inflation tops 63 percent

Posted:

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuela confirmed Tuesday that its economy has entered recession, contracting for the first three quarters of the year, while inflation topped 63 percent in the 12 months to November.The South American oil giants economy shrank 2.3 percent in the third quarter, after contracting 4.8 percent in the first quarter and 4.9 percent in the second, the central bank said.The inflation rate, a figure the government had not released since August, meanwhile came in at 4.7 percent for the month of November and 63.6 percent for the year -- among the highest in the world.Price increases were the sharpest for housing, food and alcoholic beverages, and restaurants and hotels.President Nicolas Maduros leftist government has introduced mandatory price cuts and rent controls in a bid to rein in the increases but has not managed to get the inflationary spiral under control.Inflation has been aggravated by severe shortages of basic goods.The central bank has not published the index that measures the shortages since March, when it found that 19 categories of key products were experiencing serious supply problems.Falling crude prices have taken an added toll on a country that gets 96 percent of its foreign currency from oil.According to Maduro, Venezuelas oil export price has plunged from $95 a barrel in September to $48 today.

Cabaye fires PSG to victory over Inter Milan

Posted:

MARRAKECH (AFP) - French champions Paris Saint-Germain finished 2014 with a victory as a second half goal from Yohan Cabaye handed them a narrow 1-0 victory over Serie A side Inter Milan on Tuesday in Morocco.In a prestige friendly, held in the North African country recently stripped of the right to host the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, PSG coach Laurent Blanc made numerous changes at the Grand Stade in front of some 30,000 supporters.Former Newcastle favourite Cabaye grabbed the only goal of the match on 57 minutes when he converted following sustained pressure from the capital club.Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was a notable absentee along with Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi, while talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic was given a chance to prove his return to fitness and lasted the full 90 minutes.It was a good match, said Swede Ibrahimovic.Weve had a super three days here with very intensive training sessions. Winning is good for the confidence but the most important is to work well to prepare the second part of the season.Meanwhile, Blanc said he would be awaiting some explications from both Cavani and Lavezzi, who missed the training camp in Morocco.Theyll arrive on (January) 2 in the morning in Paris, explained Blanc, who refused to be drawn on a possible transfer of either of the two players when the window opens on Saturday.We cant say that today. Were going to wait until they arrive, he said. Well expect some explanations, and then well make sporting decisions as a club.PSG are currently third in Ligue 1, but only three points behind leaders and arch rivals Marseille, while they also have a key Champions League last-16 tie against Chelsea looming large in February.Their next competitive match is against 2012 Ligue 1 champions Montpellier in the French Cup on January 5.

Brazilian with knife in skull driven two hours to hospital

Posted:

RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - A Brazilian motorcycle taxi driver with a knife protruding from his head had to endure a two-hour drive to the nearest hospital to have it removed, media reported Tuesday.Friends drove Juacelo Nunes, 39, to the hospital after he was stabbed with the 30-centimeter (12-inch) blade at a party, the knife narrowly missing his left eye and passing through his mouth into the right side of his jaw, web news portal G1 reported.The knife passed through several nerves and veins, structures that can quickly kill a patient doctor Gilberto Albuquerque said, adding Nunes was recovering surprisingly well and had remained conscious throughout his ordeal.The assault occurred at Agua Branca, some 100 kilometers (63 miles) from the hospital in Teresina in northeastern Piaui state.Nunes also suffered two knife wounds to his throat and one to the shoulder after he became embroiled in an argument.Hotel spokeswoman Ana Flavia Soares said Nunes would need to remain hospitalized for two or three days as one of the knife wounds had damaged a lung.

US offers Iran prisoner exchange for detained ex-marine

Posted:

TEHRAN, Iran: (AP) - The United States has proposed an exchange of Iranian prisoners in the U.S. for a former U.S. Marine currently in prison in Iran, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported on Tuesday a report which was immediately denied by Washington.The report quoted Mahmoud Alizadeh Tabatabaei, the lawyer for Amir Hekmati, as saying Washingtons proposal was delivered to the Iranian government via the Swiss embassy which represents Washingtons interests in Iran.However State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke on Tuesday flatly denied the report of a prisoner-swap proposal and reiterated Washingtons call for Hekmatis release on humanitarian grounds. Rathke also called for the release of pastor Saeed Abedini and Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, both currently detained in Iran, and for more Iranian help in finding former FBI agent Robert Levinson, who is believed to be missing in Iran.Those reports are not accurate, Rathke said of the Hekmati report. The U.S. government has not proposed a prisoner exchange for Mr. Hekmati. Its not true.Hekmati, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen born in Arizona, was arrested in August 2011 and sentenced to death for spying. Earlier this year, authorities overturned his death sentence and reduced his sentence to 10 years in prison.The Obama administration in 2013 asked Iran to free Hekmati, as relations have recently thawed between Washington and moderate President Hassan Rouhani.Hekmati, 31, told his family in Michigan by phone on Dec. 16 that he was beginning a hunger strike and dictated a letter asking President Obama not to forget him as negotiations proceed with Iran over its nuclear activities.Washington and its international partners are hoping to clinch a deal with Iran that would set long-term limits on Irans enrichment of uranium. Iran says its nuclear program is solely meant for energy production and medical research purposes. However Tehran has been willing to discuss restricting its nuclear research in exchange for the lifting of crippling U.S. economic sanctions.

6 extortion suspects arrested in southern Mexico

Posted:

MEXICO CITY: (AP) - Mexican police have arrested six suspected gang members tied to extortion and other crimes in the southern state of Guerrero.The governmental National Security Commission says the suspects were detained on a highway between the town of Coyuca de Catalan and the coastal resort of Zihuatanejo.Federal police seized firearms, ammunition, substances believed to be heroin and marijuana and 22 promissory notes from extortion victims.Mexican drug cartels have branched out to other criminal activities including extortion, at times forcing victims to sign IOUs for protection payments. In response, some communities formed self-defense militias to resist the gangs demands.The Commission said Tuesday in a statement that one of the suspects has an outstanding warrant for his arrest in the United States.

Caribbean seeks US to help boost sugar production

Posted:

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) - A Guyana-based organization that oversees sugar production in the Caribbean says it is seeking to partner with U.S. companies to help save one of the worlds oldest sugarcane breeding institutions.The Sugar Association of the Caribbean says it is meeting with U.S.-based companies including the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida.Association spokesman Karl James said Tuesday that the West Indies Central Sugar Cane Breeding Station in Barbados needs additional financing, new technology and qualified personnel. The station has been operating for more than 100 years.Only four of 15 members of a Caribbean trade bloc known as Caricom still produce sugar. They are Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados and Belize.

Italian prosecutors order ferry back to Italy

Posted:

BRINDISI, Italy: (AP) - Italian prosecutors on Tuesday ordered a crippled Greek ferry back to Italy for a criminal investigation, saying they feared more bodies will be found given the probable presence of stowaways and huge discrepancies in the names on the manifest and those rescued.The fire-tinged Norman Atlantic was adrift for a third day off the Albanian coast, where two sailors were killed earlier Tuesday when a tow line attempting to secure it to a tugboat apparently snapped, Albanian officials said.The Italian coast guard said another body from the ferry was found Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 11. Three of the victims were Italian truck drivers who worked for the Naples-based Eurofish company and had gone to pick up eel shipments in Greece. The company was closed for the day in mourning.More than 400 people were rescued from the ferry, most in daring, nighttime helicopter sorties that persisted despite high winds and seas, after a fire broke out before dawn Sunday on a car deck. Both Italian and Greek authorities have announced criminal investigations into the cause of the blaze.Italian prosecutors secured jurisdiction over the case from Albanian judicial authorities, citing the ships Italian owner and Italian captain.Bari prosecutor Giuseppe Volpe, who ordered the ferry back to the Italian port of Brindisi, said it was likely that other bodies will be found in the cargo areas of the ferry once searched, given that there was incontrovertible evidence that migrants were stowed away onboard.Our fear is that unfortunately once the wreck is recovered, well find other dead people on board, he said.The search for possible missing people continued in the seas off Albania amid ongoing confusion over how many passengers were on board. The ferry company said there were 475 on board, but Volpe said there were at least 18 overbookings and an untold number of stowaways.Greek authorities said the ship had a capacity of 499 passengers.Greek coast guard spokesman Nikos Lagadianos said all information on rescued passengers was coming from Italian authorities, who were in charge of the search and rescue operation.Its not easy to answer accurately how many people have been saved, and what nationalities. All that will take time, he said. We fully understand the anxiety of the relatives, but this requires great care.Greek maritime officials, meanwhile, revealed that the first word about the problems on board the ship came from a passenger, not the crew, calling an emergency number.We are aboard the Norman Atlantic of Anek lines heading for Ancona and it is on fire, the passenger said in the call, a recording of which was played out during a news conference. My name is Argyris Stavros, the ship is on fire and they dont know what to do. ... I dont know what time it is, what time is it? Its 5:40.Officials said that once the alarm had been raised, there were also language problems in communicating with the ferrys Italian captain.The Italian captain couldnt give us information. We always had to talk to somebody beside him, said Rear Adm. Nikolaos Patrinos, head of the coast guards security operations. In such circumstances, time is money and we didnt have time to spare.As night fell and under snowfall, the Italian navy transport ship San Giorgio docked in Brindisi with about 180-200 survivors aboard. The ship had been the main command center coordinating the search and rescue operation, but it also took aboard nearly half of the passengers and crew members who were rescued.On board, the survivors slept in neat rows on the floor, covered with blue blankets, according to images shown on state-run RAI television.Italian judicial authorities have enlisted the Italian tug company, Barretta, to take charge of bringing the ferry to Brindisi. No timeframe was given, but Barretta said it could arrive within a day.Besides Barretta, the ship owners insurance company has contracted the Dutch salvage firm Smit to secure the wreck.Smit spokesman Martijn Schuttevaer said one line was connected by early Tuesday and that the priority was to get a heavier tow line connection, aided by the arrival of larger tugs. It wasnt clear if that was the operation underway when the Albanian sailors were struck.But Volpe cautioned that only Barretta was legally responsible for bringing the ferry to Italy. Schuttevaer noted that prosecutors are not going to pick up the bill for the salvage, and that the ship owners insurance company would.A ship carrying 39 survivors was diverted from the southern Italian port of Manfredonia to Taranto because of poor weather, adding another 12 hours or more to their journey to dry land. The survivors include five children and three people who are injured.

Global markets fall as New Year holiday nears

Posted:

NEW YORK: (AP) - U.S. stock indexes fell in extremely light trading Tuesday afternoon as investors wrapped up business ahead of the New Year holiday and watched financial markets in Greece.KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average fell 52 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,986 as of 2:57 p.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poors 500 index lost eight points, or 0.4 percent, to 2,082 and the Nasdaq composite was down 24 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,783.GREEK UNCERTAINTY: Greek stocks stabilized after a volatile day Monday as the countrys government was forced to call elections that could create more economic turmoil. Investors worry that the elections might be won by the left-wing opposition Syriza party, which rejects Greeces bailout deal. The Athens stock market plunged as much as 11 percent on Monday before recovering some of those losses to close down 4 percent that day.ANALYSTS TAKE: An election puts all sorts of doubt on the future of the bailout agreement, said Stan Shamu, a market strategist at IG Markets.

Stock trading is expected to be quiet until the week after the New Year, when most of Wall Street is back from the long holiday weekend. Roughly 2.4 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, compared with the 3.5 billion typically traded on an average day. By late afternoon Tuesday, only 1.7 billion shares exchanged hands.With one more trading day in 2014, the S&P 500 is up 12.7 percent for the year, or up 15.4 percent, including dividends. That gain is almost double what stock market strategists expected at the beginning of the year.There were some negative surprises along the way, including the Ebola scare and increasing social tensions around the globe, Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, wrote in a note to investors. However, U.S. markets were able to weather these problems as (the U.S. economy) improved.BONDS AND CURRENCIES: The dollar fell to 119.52 yen from 120.66 yen while the euro rose to $1.2156 from $1.2154. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to 2.18 percent from 2.20 percent Monday.COMMODITIES: Benchmark U.S. crude rose 51 cents to settle at $54.12 a barrel in New York. On Monday, the contract plunged $1.12 to settle at $53.61. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, edged up two cents to close at $57.90 a barrel in London.In other futures trading on the NYMEX: Wholesale gasoline was little changed at $1.454 a gallon.Heating oil rose two cents to close at $1.869 a gallon.Natural gas fell 10.5 cents to close at $3.094 per 1,000 cubic feet.METALS: Gold rose $18.50 to $1,200.40 an ounce, silver rose 50 cents to $16.28 an ounce and copper rose three cents to $2.85 a pound.

Republican leader regrets talk to white supremacists

Posted:

WASHINGTON: (AP) - The Houses third-ranking Republican leader said Tuesday he regrets speaking 12 years ago to a white supremacist group and condemns the views of such groups.House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana said that as a state legislator in 2002, he spoke to many groups about a major tax issue.One of the many groups that I spoke to regarding this critical legislation was a group whose views I wholeheartedly condemn, Scalise said in a statement. It was a mistake I regret, and I emphatically oppose the divisive racial and religious views groups like these hold.Republican leaders defended Scalise, while Democratic groups criticized him.House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said Scalise made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate. Boehner said Scalise has my full confidence as our Whip.Scalise acknowledged at a convention of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke founded the group, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified as a hate group.The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee criticized Scalise in an earlier statement on Tuesday, saying he chose to cheerlead for a group of KKK members and neo-Nazis at a white supremacist rally, and questioned why the Republican leadership had remained silent.In an interview Monday with The Times-Picayune of New Orleans and NOLA.com, Scalise said he had little staffing as a state legislator, and didnt always know details of groups he was invited to address. I didnt know who all of these groups were, and I detest any kind of hate group, Scalise told the newspaper.His statement Tuesday did not deal with the issue of weak staffing and sketchy knowledge of his audiences in 2002. However, Scalise, who is Catholic, said these groups hold views that are vehemently opposed to my own personal faith, and I reject that kind of hateful bigotry.Scalise won a key endorsement Monday from Rep. Cedric Richmond, who will be Louisianas only Democrat and only black in Congress when the new Congress convenes next week. Richmond told NOLA.com: I dont think Steve Scalise has a racist bone in his body. He said he has worked closely with Scalise and I am not going to let them use Steve as a scapegoat to score political points when I know him and know his family.The events come just days before a new Congress convenes, with Scalise poised to help shape House Republicans agenda in his first full term as whip.It also comes as American voters demonstrate increasing racial polarization in their political preferences, with white majorities siding overwhelmingly with Republicans in the 2014 midterms and non-whites continuing their strong support for Democrats. Many strategists say both parties must figure out how to reach beyond their respective bases.Scalise, 49, ascended to his leadership post in June in the chain of events that followed then-Majority Leader Eric Cantors surprise defeat in a Republican primary.Scalise won the whip race with the solid backing of House conservatives, particularly Southerners who wanted a greater leadership voice considering the regions role in giving Republicans their largest House majority since President Herbert Hoovers administration at the start of the Great Depression.

2 Boston police officers attacked by teenagers

Posted:

BOSTON: (AP) - Two Boston police officers were hospitalized after they were attacked by six teenagers related to a person they were arresting, authorities said Tuesday.Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said the officers, a woman and a man, were pretty banged up in Mondays attack but recovering. Both were treated for undisclosed injuries and have been released from the hospital. Their names have not been made public.Mayor Martin Walsh said he does not believe the assault has anything to do with rising tensions around the U.S. over police conduct following the killings of unarmed black men in Missouri and New York City.Evans said the officers went to an apartment in Bostons Roxbury neighborhood Monday morning to serve a warrant on a 19-year-old man for defaulting on court appearances. Seven people were arrested in all, including the person police were originally seeking. He was identified by the district attorneys office as Woobenson Morisset.Morisset and 18-year-old Lorcen Morisset, who is accused of participating in the attack, were scheduled for arraignment Tuesday. It wasnt known if either one has a lawyer.The other teens, a 17-year-old boy and girls ages 13, 14, 15, and 16, face assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and other delinquency charges. In juvenile court Tuesday, a judge set bail at $500 for the 17-year-old and $1 for the younger teens, with that amount to be posted only by their parents. The next court date for all five teens, who live in Dorchester, is February 12.Police say Woobenson Morisset attacked the two officers when they confronted him in a rear stairwell.The officers were about to handcuff Morisset when the other teens came to his aid and kicked, punched, and choked the officers. The officers used pepper spray to fight off the attackers until other officers arrived, but they never drew their guns.Evans said he expected the officers would be out of work for some time. It (the attack) stresses the dangers of our job everyday going into situations never knowing what will happen, he said.The incident comes just days after two men opened fire on a police car patrolling a tough part of Los Angeles. The two officers inside were not injured and one was able to shoot back, authorities said Monday. One suspect was later arrested and the other was on the loose.Police have not yet determined a motive for Sunday nights shooting in South Los Angeles an area plagued by gang violence but said there were no indications it was linked to other attacks on police.
