HUAWEI: GOOGLE ADVISES NOT TO INSTALL ITS APPS ON NON-CERTIFIED SMARTPHONES

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
Google has spoken out about the Huawei case. The American group recalls that it continues to update Huawei smartphones as long as Washington allows it. But, it strongly advises not to install its mobile services and apps on Huawei smartphones that have not been certified.<br />
<br />
Nine months ago, it was a particularly violent blow that fell on Huawei’s skull. The Chinese manufacturer was indeed sanctioned by the American administration and thus no longer had the right to do business with American companies.<br />
<br />
One of the main consequences of these sanctions is the absence of Google mobile services from Huawei devices released since May 19, 2019. Since the start of the case, if the Chinese group has spoken repeatedly, the word of Google has nevertheless become more rare.<br />
<br />
However, now, Tristan Ostrowski, legal officer of the American group, detailed several information on one of the support pages for Android.<br />
<br />
This is an opportunity for Google to explain the absence of its services on the new Huawei devices. “We have continued to receive a number of questions about new Huawei devices. And whether Google’s apps and services can be used on these devices”. Said Tristan Ostrowski.<br />
<br />
The legal representative explains that Google mobile services are only integrated on devices that have been certified by Google through the Play Protect program. However, this certification is done before production: “Play Protect certified devices go through a rigorous security review and compatibility testing process, performed by Google. This is to ensure user data and app information are kept safe”.<br />
<br />
However, due to the US embargo, Google could no longer work with Huawei. This means that smartphones launched after that date of the ban could not pass these security tests. They cannot therefore embed Google mobile services and are therefore not Play Protect certified.<br />
<div>
<b><br />GOOGLE DOES NOT RECOMMEND INSTALLING GOOGLE SERVICES</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Google is also aware that some users are still trying to install its Play Services on Huawei smartphones released after the crisis. This was particularly the case of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro when it was released in the fall. But it should also be that of the Honor View 30 Pro, the Mate XS or the upcoming P40. However, the firm strongly advises against this manipulation.<br />
<br />
Installing Google apps will not work reliably, since we do not allow these services to run on non-certified devices. Installing Google applications also poses a risk of installing an app that has been modified. It could compromise the user security.<br />
‌<br />
<br />
In addition, Google is taking this opportunity to speak on the previous Huawei smartphones. The devices launched before May 19, 2019 and which still benefit from Google mobile services, but also updates. “We have continued to work with Huawei, in accordance with government regulations.<br />
<br />
The goal is to provide security updates and updates to Huawei applications and services to existing devices. And we will continue to do so for as long as it is allowed. To be clear: US law currently allows Google to work with Huawei only on devices released before May 16, 2019 “.</div>

Iran holds election, hardliners set to dominate with turnout key

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NZAbkqtOuhs/Xk_k5iwe1bI/AAAAAAAACsQ/ldPHHVxqNWQO285FToPoydeKT4o_1tmtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/downloadcx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="640" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NZAbkqtOuhs/Xk_k5iwe1bI/AAAAAAAACsQ/ldPHHVxqNWQO285FToPoydeKT4o_1tmtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/downloadcx.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Iranians voted on Friday in a parliamentary election likely to help hardline loyalists of the supreme leader tighten their grip on power as the country faces mounting U.S. pressure over its nuclear program and growing discontent at home.<br />
<br />
State television said voting, which began at 0430 GMT, would run for 10 hours but could be extended depending on turnout. In mid-afternoon, an Interior Ministry official told state TV that about 11 million of 58 million eligible voters had cast their ballots for candidates in the 290-member parliament.<br />
<br />
The election is seen as a referendum on the popularity of the clerical establishment given that most moderates and leading conservative candidates were barred from running.<br />
<br />
With thousands of potential candidates disqualified in favor of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s allies, the vote is not expected to ease Iran’s nuclear standoff with the United States or spawn a softer foreign policy.<br />
<br />
Parliament’s power is limited, but gains by security hawks could weaken pragmatists and conservatives who support the ruling theocracy but also more economically beneficial engagement with the West, from which Tehran has been estranged since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.<br />
<br />
A rise in the number of hardliners in the assembly may also help them in the 2021 contest for president, a job with broad daily control of government. Pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani won the last two elections on promises to open Iran to the outside world.<br />
<br />
The United States’ 2018 withdrawal from Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers, and its reimposition of sanctions, have hit Iran’s economy hard and led to widespread hardships.<br />
<br />
A U.S. drone strike killed Iran’s most prominent military commander, Qassem Soleimani, in Iraq on Jan. 3. Iran retaliated by firing ballistic missiles at U.S. targets in Iraq, killing no one but causing brain injuries in over 100 soldiers.<br />
<br />
Encouraging Iranians to vote, state TV aired footage of people lined up at polling stations set up mainly at mosques.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I am here to vote. It is my duty to follow martyr Soleimani’s path,” said a young voter at a mosque at a cemetery, where Soleimani is buried in his hometown. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Soleimani, architect of Tehran’s overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, was a national hero to many Iranians. He was Iran’s most powerful figure after Khamenei. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Each vote put into the ballot box is a missile into the heart of America,” said Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the aerospace unit of the Revolutionary Guards.</blockquote>
<div>
Rouhani urged Iranians to “further disappoint the enemies” by voting in large numbers.<br />
<br />
But weariness among women and the young, who comprise a majority of voters, about high unemployment and restrictions on social freedoms looked likely to depress the turnout.</div>

China tests its soft power in Southeast Asia amid coronavirus outbreak

<br />
China called for solidarity on Thursday in a special meeting to discuss the coronavirus outbreak with Southeast Asian nations as it faces criticism for its handling of the epidemic.<br />
<br />
The hastily called summit in Laos signaled China is seeking support from smaller neighbors, into which it has poured billions of dollars in infrastructure and investment in recent years.<br />
<br />
China’s foreign minister urged Singapore to ease its ban on Chinese visitors and discussed travel and trade restrictions at the meeting with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Thursday.<br />
<br />
At the meeting, ASEAN foreign ministers joined hands with Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and shouted “Stay strong, Wuhan!” Stay strong, China! Stay strong, ASEAN!”<br />
<br />
Officials at the meeting on Thursday did not wear masks.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Fear is more threatening than the virus and confidence is more precious than gold,” Wang told a news conference afterward.<br />
“China is promoting a message of friendships in ASEAN to counter the attack from the West that it has been handling the outbreak poorly,” said Alfred M. Wu, Associate Professor in Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at National University of Singapore.</blockquote>
Beijing has been criticized for its handling of the outbreak of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which emerged from the city of Wuhan in Hubei province in recent months and killed at least 2,000.<br />
<br />
Travel restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease, have idled much of the world’s second-largest economy and choked key elements of President Xi Jinping’s signature Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of railways, ports and highways..<br />
<br />
Countries’ responses to the coronavirus have become “a litmus test for friendship,” said Tom Baxter, an independent researcher and co-editor of Panda Paw Dragon Claw website, which writes about China’s influence overseas.<br />
<br />
From Singapore’s outright ban to the open-door practices of Beijing’s close ally Cambodia, policies on travel from China have varied among the 10 ASEAN nations.<br />
<br />
Even as the meeting kicked off, Thailand on Thursday issued a travel advisory urging citizens to avoid non-essential travel to China and advised those already there to leave, hinting that flights to China could be further restricted.<br />
<br />
According to a draft joint statement seen by Reuters, both ASEAN and China emphasized the “growing urgency and need for cooperation” in combating the virus outbreak and agreed to strengthen “risk communication”.<br />
<br />
ASEAN and China, its largest trading partner, have an annual travel flow of over 65 million visits. ASEAN nations collectively are also the second-largest trading partner of China.<br />
<br />
In a Wednesday night meeting with Singapore’s foreign minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, Wang said Beijing was worried about Singapore’s “restrictive measures”.<br />
<br />
“Now that the epidemic has eased and the situation is under control, we hope that normal exchanges between the two countries can be resumed as soon as possible,” Wang told Balakrishnan.<br />
<br />
In remarks made during a welcome dinner on Wednesday evening, Wang thanked countries individually for their shows of support during the outbreak, according to a statement from China’s foreign ministry.<br />
<br />
He was quoted by the Chinese foreign ministry as saying support from ASEAN countries and other international friend “made us feel that this winter is not that cold and spring is coming”.</div>

<br />
A man who was acquitted of rape last month has been charged with raping a 6-year-old girl.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, February 18, Samuel Heber Butler, 24, from Utah, was charged with five felony counts for allegedly sexually assaulting a young girl and attempting to bribe her mother with money to keep her from contacting the police.<br />
<br />
This is Butler’s eighth time being accused of sexual assault, and his second time being charged with the crime.<br />
<br />
Just a few weeks ago, Butler was acquitted of sexually assaulting a student from Dixie State University back in 2017.<br />
<br />
Police arrested Butler last week after another woman reported that he had recently sexually abused her 6-year-old. Butler was charged with rape of a child, sodomy of a child, aggravated sexual abuse of a child, sexual abuse of a child and tampering with a witness in the 4th District Court.<br />
<br />
The mother of the child said she met Butler on Facebook weeks earlier and invited him to her home in Provo last Wednesday. She said during his visit, Butler and her daughter fell asleep on the couch, and she left the two and went to sleep in her bedroom. Documents state Butler took his clothes off along with some of the girl’s and raped her.<br />
<br />
The 6-year-old victim said Butler told her he wanted to "marry" her.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"He also apologized for what he’d done and promised it wouldn’t happen again," wrote Deputy Utah County Attorney Dave Sturgill wrote in charging documents.</blockquote>
The girl ended up running to her mother’s bedroom and asked if she could sleep with her because Butler kept touching her. When the mother confronted Butler, he pleaded with her to not call the police and offered her money, reports The Salt Lake Tribune.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Butler left the woman’s home but surrendered to police the next day. Reports show there is currently no court date.</div>

Mr Tesler was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1945, and studied at Stanford University in California. Tesler specialised in human-computer interaction, employing his skills at Amazon, Apple, Yahoo, and the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).<br />
<br />
The icon of early computing started working in Silicon Valley in the early 1960s, at a time when computers were inaccessible to the vast majority of people.  After graduating, he specialised in user interface design.<br />
<br />
He started at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), before Steve Jobs poached him for Apple, where he spent 17 years and rose to chief scientist. He went on to establish an education startup and did stints in user-experience technology at Amazon and Yahoo.<br />
<br />
Thanks to his innovations - including the "cut", "copy" and "paste" commands - the personal computer became simple to learn and use.<br />
<br />
"Tesler created the idea of 'cut, copy, & paste' and combined computer science training with a counterculture vision that computers should be for everyone," the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley tweeted on Wednesday while paying tribute to him.</div>
