Samsung Electronics Company, urged Saturday, the Galaxy phones users note 7 to surrender their phones as soon as possible, under the drag operation aimed at reducing the damage caused by an ignition-prone devices. She said the world's largest production of smartphones last week that it will replace all phones not 7 in 10 markets including South Korea and the United States, in a costly setback for the company was counting on the device which has its price towards $ 893 to strengthen the driving force for sales, at a time when competitors like Apple presents you new hardware. The reports prompted the ignition battery that Smartphone during shipment or during normal use the US consumer product safety Commission to call to stop using my Galaxy-note 7. In response, airlines aviation authorities issued a worldwide ban or prohibit instructions or open the phone charging passengers during flights. Reuters quoted Koh Dong Jin head of Samsung smartphones activity in a statement: "we ask users to close Galaxy devices and replace 7 notebook ASAP." He explained: "speed up the process of replacing the devices so provided through replaceable program as soon as possible according to the established rules." And range dragging for Samsung showing off her manufacturing prowess is unprecedented and a powerful blow to their reputation. Samsung said it would withdraw about 2.5 million units sold so far, and some analysts say that the clouds could cost some Samsung five billion dollars in lost income this year. The South Korean company and replace all the Galaxy phones notebook 7 devices affected batteries are safe. Samsung said that the replacement would be made available in some markets, including South Korea and the United States as of September 19. Samsung said Friday that it plans to resume sales of Galaxy-note 7 in Australia in early October, but it was not clear when it would resume new sales in other markets.

A us study reported that they get their protein from plants than animal products may live longer, even if they are following unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking, bulimia. A scientist at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston Ming Ying-Sung, the results indicate that when it comes to protein, that its origin may be as important as the quantity of human reporting. He told Reuters: "plant source better than animal products. If people have to choose between animal products let us try to avoid red meat, and can choose fish or chicken instead. Song and his colleagues followed more than 130 thousand of nurses and other health sector for decades. More than half of the participants get no less than 14 percent of their prices thermal animal protein, and no less than 4 percent of vegetable protein. At the beginning of the study participants was 49 years old on average, and most of them were women. By the end of the study was 36 thousand people died, of whom 8500 because coronary heart, about 13 000 of cancer. After taking the lifestyle-related factors into account such as smoking, drinking and obesity and lack of physical activity was every increase of three percent in calories from vegetable protein linked to a ten percent decrease in the risk of death during the study period. Both were increased by ten percent in the rate of calories from animal protein linked to two percent increase in the risk of death due to any cause, an increase of eight percent in the risk of death as a result of cardiovascular disease, during the study period. And researchers said in the journal of internal medicine, at first, that this link between animal protein and death was stronger among the obese or overindulge in alcohol. The researcher commented in nutrition at the University of Athens bagona lagio, saying: "obese besides of following unhealthy lifestyle than they have the risk of bug in basic metabolism or inflammatory disorders, which may enhance adverse effects of eating animal protein." But animal protein is not associated with increased mortality seems to follow a healthy lifestyle. For those eating more vegetable protein is apparently linked to a longer life. 2.

A new Renault Scenic? It looks kind of fetching… ‘Seduction’ is a word used often by the new Renault Scenic’s design team. And sure, seduction – especially the successful sort – is the first step on the road to MPV ownership, though that’s not really the point they’re trying to make. What they’re actually talking about is the styling, which, seductive or not, you must admit is pretty striking for a people carrier. How have they done that? Much of it is down to the wheels, which are not 17s, 18s or even 19s, but whopping 20 inchers – the same size as you get on a Bentley Mulsanne. They’re standard on even the most basic version, which is quite a talking point, but also a distraction from the Scenic’s number one job of looking after the family. Can it still do that? It’s 20 years since the first Scenic arrived, and despite the proliferation of crossovers and SUVs, it remains stubbornly an MPV. This is the five-seat version (there’s also a new seven-seat Grand Scenic), and as before the rear seats slide back and forth and fold completely flat. Now, though, they do so at the touch of an electric button, either a physical one in the boot, or a virtual one on the new portrait-style touchscreen. Is it roomy? The floor has been raised and the roof lowered, though the cabin accounts for 80 per cent of the car’s entire volume. There are storage wells in the floor, the sliding central armrest will hold a man-size handbag, and the slide-out glovebox is the size of a shopping basket. There are fold-down picnic tables for the kids, complete with a bungee string that twangs satisfyingly against the front seats. Good luck with that on long journeys, mums and dads. Does it drive OK? Amazingly the enormo-wheels don’t trash the ride, and except for some wind noise around the wing mirrors, it’s a fairly polished thing to drive. Go for the TCe 130 petrol or dCi 110 diesel with twin-clutch automatic gearbox, but don’t go overboard on options – the second-most basic trim, Dynamique Nav, has all you really need and costs around £21,500. If you splurge on anything, make sure it’s the Honey Yellow paint. I’m tempted. Should I? It could do with some bigger door bins and more nooks for storage (the Citroen C4 Picasso is a little better in that respect), but it has the biggest boot of all its competitors, and the best looks by far.

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake has killed at least 11 people and injured 192 in northern Tanzania, the authorities say. The quake struck close to the border with Uganda and Rwanda near Lake Victoria. Images posted on social media showed significant damage to buildings in Bukoba, a city of more than 70,000 people where most casualties were reported. Tremors were felt as far away as western Kenya. "This incident has caused a lot of damage," Deodatus Kinawila, the district commissioner of Bukoba, told the BBC. "As we speak now, the number of injuries stands at 192 and 11 dead. Because we are still collecting the information it's likely to go up. Even the number of injuries is likely to go up." Rescue workers have told the BBC that local hospitals are full and cannot cope with the number of injured. Buildings have collapsed and people are still trapped underneath the rubble. The US Geological Survey says the quake struck at a depth of 10km (six miles) at 15:27 local time (12:27 GMT). East Africa's Great Rift Valley runs along a geological fault line but major earthquakes there are rare. A magnitude six quake struck the Tanzanian town of Arusha, east of Bukoba, in July 2007.

You might have missed it, but at the recent PlayStation Meeting Sony quietly unveiled a redesign to its PlayStation 4 Camera. The new camera is scheduled for release on September 15, and will cost $59 (around £45 / AU$75). Official images of the new camera haven't been revealed by Sony, but Twitter user @Wario64 managed to upload the images seen above. Softened edges The biggest change in the camera's design is its shape. The new camera is a cylindrical rather than rectangular affair. No word yet on whether the camera features any upgraded internals, but we have reached out to Sony and will update this piece when they respond. For details on the new consoles announced last night check out all the details on the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. Check out the latest PS4 Pro deals - UK Check out the latest PS4 Pro deals - USA

we'll get to Masterchief until the arrival of Halo 6, the launch of Halo 5: Forge next month is likely to be of interest even to those ambivalent towards the series. The free-to-play offering is basically a map editor, but there's also a 16-player multiplayer component, meaning that, yes, we'll soon be able to play Halo MP in an official capacity. The shooter's system requirements are now out, and it looks like fairly modest rigs should be capable of running it. You'll only need a 650 Ti to run it at minimum settings, but for a 1080p / 60fps experience (ie, one that's on par with the Xbox One version) you'll need a GTX 970 with 12GB of RAM and an i5-3570k. Meanwhile, those with a 980 Ti and i7-4770k or equivalent should be able to run it in 4k. There's one snag, though it won't come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Microsoft's first-party software rollouts on PC thus far: you'll need Windows 10 Anniversary Edition to run it. If you declined to update to Windows 10 before the free period expired, well, you either buy Windows 10 or miss out, I'm afraid. Check out the full requirements below, or here. Minimum Windows 10 Anniversary Edition DirectX 12 intel Core i5 at 2.3Ghz or AMD equivalent GeForce 650 Ti 2GB VRAM 8GB RAM HDD 40GB Recommended Windows 10 Anniversary Edition DirectX 12 intel Core i5-3570k at 3.4GHz or AMD equivalent GeForce GTX 970 4GB VRAM 8GB RAM HDD 40GB Ultra (4K) Windows 10 Anniversary Edition DirectX 12 Intel Core i7-4770k at 3.4GHz or AMD equivalent GeForce 980 Ti 6GB VRAM 16GB RAM HDD 40GB

Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel both took turns at Barcelona’s Montmelo circuit this week to trial Pirelli’s new 2017-spec Formula One tyre. And as you’ll soon discover, they’re quite big. Fat, even. That’s because they’re a whopping 25 per cent bigger than this year’s compounds (the regs are changing in 2017) and are said to provide more grip. And more speed. Kimi kicked off the test in a modified SF15-T (to accomodate for downforce), with Seb taking up the reigns on the final day. He managed 156 laps running on the medium tyres. With the regulations set to change along with a change in ownership at the top, are you excited for next year’s Formula One season? Let us know below. Avoid the caps lock if possible…

Actor and director Nate Parker received an enthusiastic welcome as his film The Birth of a Nation screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. After a public showing on Friday of the film - based on a slave uprising led by preacher Nat Turner in 1831 - Parker described it as "a labour of love". There were gasps in the audience at some of the harrowing scenes. After the screening, Parker, who has faced media scrutiny over a historic rape trial, got a standing ovation. Parker acted in, wrote and directed the film. It gained a huge amount of awards buzz when it first screened at the Sundance film festival in January. However, recent media attention has been focused on Parker's acquittal for rape in 1999 and his accuser's subsequent suicide. Parker's 'sorrow' over rape accuser's suicide Birth of a Nation to show at London festival 'No brainer' Parker said: "I didn't have the benefit of learning about Nat Turner when I was at school, yet I grew up 42 miles (68km) east of where the rebellion happened. "So you can imagine learning about this person, in the absence of heroes, meant a lot to me." He said it was a "no brainer" that he would choose to tell the story on film. "We should all look at this film in the sense that this was a person that stood against a system that was oppressing people," he told the audience. "If we can relate to that in 2016, we must ask our selves what we would be willing to sacrifice for what we want our children, and our children's children, to enjoy." Cameron Bailey, the Toronto festival's artistic director, described the film as a "painful story from American history and a story that needed to be told". The Toronto International Film Festival runs until 18 September.

Airline passengers have been warned by US authorities not to switch on or charge their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones when on board the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) also advised against packing the phones into any checked-in luggage. Samsung recalled the phone last week after reports emerged of the device exploding during or after charging. Qantas and Virgin Australia have also told customers not to charge or use the phone during flights. Samsung said it would speed up shipments of replacement Galaxy Note 7 phones to ease safety concerns. Earlier this week, US TV channel Fox 10 reported claims that a faulty Galaxy Note 7 had set fire to a family's Jeep. Battery problems Samsung has said that battery problems were behind the phones catching fire, but that it was difficult to work out which phones were affected among those sold. "In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the Federal Aviation Administration strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage," the FAA said. Following Samsung's recall of its Galaxy Note 7, Qantas said on Thursday it was "requesting that passengers who own [the devices] do not switch on or charge them in-flight." The phone was launched last month and has been otherwise generally well-received by consumers and critics. Some 2.5 million Note 7s have been shipped globally. Samsung has said customers who have already bought the phone will be able to swap it for a new one and that it would take about two weeks to prepare replacement devices. Analysis: Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter This is precautionary advice and not understood to be in reaction to any incident on a plane. But it does continue the headache for Samsung - even once the company goes through the motions of getting the device recalled, the Note 7 will forever be the exploding smartphone. This is not the first time the FAA has warned about the dangers of lithium batteries on flights. Earlier this year, it urged airlines to assess the risk of transporting lithium batteries as cargo. And the administration also insists that any spare lithium battery be kept with the passenger rather than kept with luggage in the hold - though as a person who regularly travels with big lithium batteries for camera equipment, I can tell you this is inconsistently enforced. What makes lithium batteries catch fire? The US trade group Airlines for America said it was "closely monitoring" the Note 7 issue and that carriers in the US would make their own ruling over the use of the phone on board. "Each individual carrier makes determinations, in compliance with FAA safety rules and regulations, as to what is permitted to be carried on board and in the cargo hold," an Airlines for America spokesperson said in a statement. South Korea-listed shares of Samsung Electronics were down close to 3% in early Friday trade.

With iOS 10 apparently serving as Apple's flagship operating system, it's easy to overlook Apple's latest software offering for desktops. However, macOS Sierra ought not to be ignored, as it's evidently jam-packed with new features and improvements. How does macOS Sierrra compare to the Windows 10 Anniversary Update? The highly-anticipated OS X 10.12 was officially revealed with a new name, macOS Sierra, at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2016. As we experienced in the move from OS X 10.10 Yosemite to 10.11 El Capitan, Sierra isn't just a compilation of bug fixes and performance updates—it's a full-fledged follow-up to last year's update. So then, what can you expect from macOS Sierra? Fasten your seatbelts and follow along to find out! Cut to the chase What is it? The next version of Apple's desktop operating system When is it out? September 20 What will it cost? Like the previous several versions, it will be a free update macOS Sierra release date When it comes to releasing new software, Apple has gotten into an annual release cycle. To no surprise, we saw the reveal of macOS Sierra in June at the WWDC, the Worldwide Developers Conference, with a private beta issued to developers that same day. Find out if your Mac can run macOS A public beta, released on July 7, 2016, brought Siri, picture-in-picture mode and more to a broad audience of Mac users for the first time in Apple history. Since then, the macOS Sierra public beta has received six separate updates, with the first having been seeded on July 20. Of course, in order to take advantage of the new Continuity features like Universal Clipboard, you'll also need the iOS 10 beta installed on a compatible iPhone or iPad. Apple Pay, on the other hand, won't be ready for the limelight until macOS Sierra's hard launch on September 20. Siri finally makes an appearance The biggest new feature slated for macOS Sierra is the inclusion of the Siri virtual personal assistant. Siri was launched on iOS back in 2011 and, surprisingly, Macs are the last in a long list of platforms that support it. Just as with the virtual assistant on iPhones, users will be able to simply command Siri and ask it questions with their voice. However, being on the Mac opens up a greater swath of options such as file searching, storage inquiries and even the ability to toggle settings on and off. At WWDC, SVP of software engineering Craig Federighi showed audiences how Siri could prove beneficial on Mac while remaining distinct from other Apple platforms. The personal assistant software can respond to complex requests such as, "Show the files I worked on last week about the off-site." From there, users can narrow down their search based on tags. Siri can even access other parts of macOS including applications like iTunes, effectively making her your personal DJ. Moreover, the AI is compatible with Safari as well, allowing it to act on web searches. And, with Apple having issued as SDK for developers to make their own apps work with Siri, it will be interesting to see where that goes. Maybe we'll see the day when Siri can access your Spotify library, upload files to Google Drive or help you organize spreadsheets in Excel. A long overdue file system upgrade Since 1985, Apple has remained complacent with its Hierarchal File System, or HFS. With macOS, however, that all changes thanks to the new APFS, or simply Apple File System. Starting with the company's 2017 MacBook lineup, all of Apple's computers will support the new filesystem on its bootup drive. Unfortunately, the new filesystem is limited to transferring files back and forth on a non-startup drive in its present beta state. Let's compare the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and macOS Sierra Once Apple's hardware begins to support the new standard, it won't be long before we start to reap the benefits. These include improved flash memory optimization, faster Time Machine backups and improved space allocation letting two APFS-formatted disks act as one combined storage drive. Unfortunately, for legacy Mac users this means HFS support will be ousted in the next 25 years, though it would be a miracle if your computer could still boot up by then. Continuity gets even better Continuity between Mac and iOS is a big deal for those engulfed in Apple's hardy ecosystem. Ever since its introduction, users have been able to pick up calls and text conversations from their phones and conveniently pull them up on their Mac computers. With macOS Sierra, not only will you be able to access your computer from outside devices including your iPhone, but if you need to quickly move something from one device to another, this is made even easier than AirDrop thanks to the Universal Clipboard function. Fortunately, if the public beta is anything to go by, it's as seamless as Command-C, Command-V. And, while TouchID may come to Mac at some point, a similar feature called Auto Unlock will arrive later this year. As the title implies, this new feature will let you unlock your Mac from other Apple devices merely by being in close proximity to an Apple Watch or iOS device. What's more, Apple Pay has expanded beyond the restraints of a 4.7-inch screen and onto PCs by way of macOS. Making an effort to compete with e-commerce services like PayPal, a "Pay with Apple Pay" button will soon be integrated in your browser with TouchID on a nearby iPhone or iPad serving as a means of quick authentication. Better multimedia functionality Finally we have the Photos app getting an overhaul in iOS 10, and because of the way Continuity works, the incoming features also apply to Mac. These include a new "Memories" tab for a more magazine-like viewing mode as well as an AI that automatically sorts photos either by people or topics. Likewise, if you're a skilled multi-tasker interested in watching videos while you work, you'll be delighted to know that macOS Sierra's picture-in-picture mode allows users to take their video windows with them even as they rotate between desktop screens. What's next for macOS? Though we can assume that most of macOS Sierra's features were revealed at WWDC, there are still a handful of discoveries being made hinting at what we can expect from the operating system's official launch in September. One such discovery, as reported by 9to5mac, was made by a developer on Twitter who somehow managed to activate a more ubiquitous Dark Mode color scheme on his Mac. Although you can already enable a dark menu bar and Dock in the macOS Sierra public beta, this newly proposed feature would ostensibly extend across a catalog of applications, like Safari. While it's yet to be confirmed by Apple, the prospect of a true Dark Mode is undeniably an exciting one. Nevertheless, there's bound to be an assortment of rumors, true or otherwise, leading into macOS Sierra's September release. Gabe Carey also contributed to this article

Mitsubishi has made its last bunch of Lancer Evolutions. If you’re like us, this will make you sad. But a pick-me-up might just arrive with the news that one of the very last is still up for grabs. The Lancer Evolution Final Edition – no. 1,600 of a 1,600-strong run for the American market – is being auctioned online in the US, and as we write, has a week or so left to run. And just to crank the goodness up even further, all the proceeds of its sale go to a pair of charities fighting hunger. While the UK’s end-of-line Evo X was a 440bhp madcap special, the US got something slightly tamer, in the form of the 303bhp Final Edition. It still has a highly wound-up 2.0-litre turbo engine, four-wheel drive and much differential-based magic, of course, while its gearbox is a nice traditional manual. What comes next for the Lancer Evo is as yet unknown. Mitsubishi’s new focus on hybrid models means it could reinvent itself as a petrol-electric performance car, while others have speculated it will die completely. Either way, picking up one of the last to be produced could prove a sage move. Got an itchy bidding finger? Click these words here…

World leaders have reacted with anger after North Korea carried out its fifth and reportedly biggest nuclear test. The South accused the North's leader Kim Jong-un of "maniacal recklessness". China "firmly opposed" the test, Japan "protested adamantly" and the US warned of "serious consequences". The UN Security Council will meet later behind closed doors to discuss the issue. Such nuclear tests are banned by the UN but this is North Korea's second this year. Kim Jong-un's rhetoric has also become increasingly aggressive, analysts say. North Korea nuclear test: Is it important? What to look for in North Korea's fifth nuclear test Stages of an underground nuclear test What did N Korea learn from its previous tests? Could North Korea carry out a nuclear attack? Ri Chun-hee - the most famous woman in North Korea The isolated communist nation has been hit by five sets of UN sanctions since its first test in 2006. Talks involving world and regional powers have failed to rein in the North's nuclear programme. In its statement announcing the underground test, North Korea expressed anger at the "racket of threat and sanctions... kicked up by the US-led hostile forces" to deny a "sovereign state's exercise of the right to self-defence". The test came on the country's National Day, which celebrates the founding of the current regime and which is often used as a show of military strength. Technically, the North said the test was aimed at further developing the miniaturisation of nuclear warheads so they could be mounted on ballistic missiles. In its statement the North said it could now produce "at will, and as many as it wants, a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power". In recent months, the North has conducted a series of ballistic missile launches and has in the past often stated its aim of hitting US targets. The North has previously made claims on "miniaturised" nuclear warheads but they have never been independently confirmed. What now? Analysis by Steve Evans, BBC News, Seoul What North Korea's opponents can actually do is problematic. After the fourth test in January, China agreed to impose tougher UN sanctions. Further and even tougher sanctions are still possible, like blocking the export of fuel oil to North Korea. That would be a drastic step which might halt the economy and cause serious suffering to ordinary people. China's bottom line is that it does not want the collapse of the regime in Pyongyang if that leads to a chaotic power vacuum, possibly filled by the US and its allies. North Korea has also been angered by a US and South Korean plan to install an anti-missile defence system in the South and by the allies' massive annual joint military exercises, which are still taking place. The North's recent actions have sorely tested its only ally, China. It condemned January's test and repeated that on Friday after the latest. China's foreign ministry said it would lodge a diplomatic protest and urged North Korea to avoid further action that would worsen the situation. Reaction from elsewhere was more strident: United States - President Barack Obama will "ensure provocative actions from North Korea are met with serious consequences" Japan - North Korea is an "outlaw nation in the neighbourhood" South Korea - "Such provocation will further accelerate its path to self-destruction" Russia - "We insist that the North Korean side stop its dangerous escapades and unconditionally implement all resolutions of the United Nations Security Council" The International Atomic Energy Agency - a "deeply troubling and regrettable act" that is "in complete disregard of the repeated demands of the international community" The latest test was announced on state TV hours after a 5.3 magnitude tremor was detected near the Punggye-ri underground nuclear site. Estimates of the explosive yield of the latest blast have varied. South Korea's military said it was about 10 kilotonnes, enough to make it the North's "strongest nuclear test ever". Other experts say initial indications suggest 20 kilotonnes or more. The bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima in 1945 had a yield of about 15 kilotonnes.

In case you missed the news yesterday, Sony announced the PS4 Pro. The shiny new console builds upon the original PS4 architecture, adding 4K resolution gaming, optimized specs for PlayStation VR, and smoother performance for past and future PS4 games. The announcement of the PS4 Pro also marks the beginning of a new breed of console generation - one where companies make more iterative upgrades to their consoles over time rather than leap from one outdated hardware platform to something totally new. Sony isn't alone in doing so. Microsoft picked up on this trend, too, having formally announced two of its own iterative upgrades to the Xbox One this summer at E3 2016 – Xbox One S and Project Scorpio, which promises to also bring 4K gaming, VR support, and silky-smooth framerates for the serious player. Given that the PS4 Pro is but a couple months away from release while Project Scorpio over a year off, it would seem Sony got the jump on Microsoft in this new Mid-Console War. At least, so it appeared. What Sony - and frankly, a lot of us - didn't see coming was the Xbox One S, which may seem underpowered at first glance, but offers just enough to give the PS4 Pro a run for its money. Xbox One S(emi-Pro) Microsoft's slimmed-down Xbox One, as it turns out, is much more than a slimmed-down Xbox One. The console's sleek design on the outside is matched with refined hardware on the inside, granting players HDR support, improved performance, 4K streaming, and Ultra High-Definition Blu-ray support. That last tidbit is especially important because despite all of the PS4 Pro's pros, the supposed super-console, has a big con – it can't play your Blu-rays in 4K. The Xbox One S puts the PS4 Pro in an awkward place by already offering a feature Sony's brand-new console can't – which is made even more awkward considering how much the PS4 Pro leaned into how big a deal 4K is when it was announced. Sony also made a big deal about how HDR will flesh out the graphics of your favorite games, promising to bring HDR support to all PS4 models – even the three-year-old one you bought back in November 2013 – in a firmware update going live next week. An impressive feature, undoubtedly, and it would've been another easy point for the Sony scoreboard ... had the Xbox One S not already debuted the feature on consoles back in August. Also, the Xbox One S retails for $100/£100 less than the PS4 Pro, so that's another thing to consider, especially if you've already spent a pretty penny building up a movie library and don't feel like shelling out cash for both a console and UHD Blu-ray player. Slim pickins' "But what about that PS4 Slim that was also announced?" you say. "Surely it makes more sense to compare the Xbox One S to that, right?" In theory, yes. The finally-confirmed PS4 Slim comes at around the same price as the Xbox One S while also refining the original console's design. However, where the Xbox One S sports multiple changes to the original Xbox One's design, the PS4 Slim almost little to nothing new over the original minus its form factor. Now, some might argue that's because the PS4 didn't really need revising – at least certainly not as much as Xbox One, which needed a return to the drawing board within seconds of its launch in 2013. The Xbox One S not only cleaned up its exterior design – cutting about 40% of its size, ditching that brick of a power supply, and gaining the ability to sit up vertically – but also added new interior features in the form of the aforementioned UHD Blu-ray support, improved performance, 4K streaming, and game upscaling. We're gonna need a bigger Pro For this reason, I don't think Sony got the headstart it hoped it'd get with the PS4 Pro. Rather, Microsoft beat Sony's mid-generation machine to the punch over a month ago with its own revised Xbox One. Does that mean I think the Xbox One S will beat out the PS4 Pro blow-for-blow? Of course not. For example, the PS4 Pro still has the advantage of being built expressively with performance and true 4K gaming in mind, while the Xbox One S' performance enhancements over the original are minor, and it can only upscale 1080p games to 4K - not display them at a native 4K resolution. So, if you're looking to test out your fancy 4K-ready entertainment centers, the PS4 Pro will be the way to go. Framerate junkies and those sold on PlayStation VR will also flock to the PS4 Pro thanks to its optimized CPU and GPU. In short, the PS4 Pro still competes with the still-a-year-away Project Scorpio, which promises to match, if not surpass, the PS4 Pro in performance, on top of adding native 4K gaming and VR support of its own. However, while framerates and performance reign supreme for many players, 4K and VR may not pan out in the Pro's favor as much as it intended – leaving room yet again for the Xbox One S to close in on Sony's tail. 4K(inda) So here's the thing about native 4K gaming - it's only as good as the games that actually get made for it. While the PS4 Pro promises to make older games "forward compatible" – upscaling them to look their best on 4K televisions, (just like the Xbox One S, how about that?) – it also promises to bring players a growing list of games fully optimized for the PS4 Pro's graphical abilities. The good news? Big budget exclusives like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Horizon: Zero Dawn are going to look amazing on PS4 Pro. The bad news? Developing games in native 4K is both demanding and expensive. Unless the game's production budget includes an extra chunk to vie for the highest resolution possible, it won't be taking full advantage of the Sony's hardware. Same goes for PS VR – all the souped-up specs of the Pro won't mean much if the platform goes unsupported. If the virtual reality headset winds up going the way of PlayStation Move – or worse, Kinect – you're looking at a console that costs extra for little more than the better framerates and the occasional pretty game. Project S(corpio) We originally thought the PS4 Pro, back when it was codenamed the Neo, was solely comparable to the Project Scorpio – a competitor Sony had a year's worth of leg up on. Now that the console is announced, it seems Microsoft threw a wrench in that plan by releasing the Xbox One S a month earlier – a console that not only is a major upgrade over the original Xbox One and comparable to the PS4 Pro, but even offers features Sony's unreleased machine lacks. Add this with some of Microsoft's other plays in the book, such as last year's backwards compatibility update and this holiday's merger with PC gaming thanks to Xbox Play Anywhere, and the Xbox architecture is starting to gain some serious traction. We don't know much about what's in store for Project Scorpio, but unless Sony commits to the PS4 Pro and puts all its weight behind it, it seems the Xbox One S successor won't have much catching-up to do.

A policeman has been stabbed in France during an operation to arrest three women in connection with a car found with gas canisters near Notre Dame. One of the women was wounded when another policeman opened fire after the stabbing in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve. Mr Cazeneuve said they appeared to have been preparing an immediate attack. In November, 130 people died in Paris in a series of terror attacks carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS). A state of emergency has been in place in France since then. The Peugeot 607 was found on Wednesday on the Quai de Montebello, just metres from the cathedral, along a stretch of the Seine riverside. The car had its hazard warning lights flashing and no number plates, police said. Documents with writing in Arabic were also found in the car, police said. One of the canisters, on the front passenger seat, was empty, and there were no detonating devices inside. A man on the terrorism watch list was arrested on Wednesday as well as an associate of the car's owner, also known to police. Mr Cazeneuve said the three women arrested on Thursday - aged 39, 23 and 19 - "had been radicalised, were fanatics and were in all likelihood preparing an imminent, violent act".

Hello and welcome to your first look at the new Hyundai i30. New Korean hatchbacks don’t tend to be that exciting, and frankly the fairly forgettable looking i30 does little to get us frothy and excitable, but it’s worth paying attention to. Because it’s this car that ex BMW M Division boss Albert Biermann will use to spearhead Hyundai’s attack on the hot hatchback class. TG caught up with Biermann, now chief of Hyundai’s ‘N’ go-faster skunkworks, at the N24 race in June, where the mechanicals of the new 2.0-litre turbocharged i30 were hidden in the skin of the old i30. He promised us a Goldilocks blend of power and fun, without a focus on lap times, and hinted at a performance pack for speed freaks. We were excited. In the meantime, let’s have a look at what he’s got to work with. The new i30, here as the everyday versions that 99 per cent of sensible Hyundai-folk are after, has a much less fussy design than before. In fact, it’s now so smart it’s dull. But you get LED lights and a flap in the front grille to automatically reduce drag at high speeds by closing off some of the cooling intakes. Inside, there’s a BMW-style half-floating infotainment screen, operated by touch rather than a control dial on the centre console. Again, the design is staid but there’s little that’ll offend or ward off interested parties inside. The boot’s a competitive 395 litres in size. Another tick in the worthy box. And you can have autonomous emergency braking, auto lane-keep, blind-spot warning and radar cruise control. Tick, tick, tick. Under the bonnet, the most interesting engine so far is a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder. Downsizing ahoy: it’s 14kg lighter than the old 1.4, and develops 138bhp and 178lb ft. Too many cubes for you? Then try the 1.0-litre three-cylinder motor, good for 118bhp and likely to sound keener than the 1.4 too. Diesel fans (anyone out there?) are looked after with a 1.6-litre engine capable of 94bhp, 109bhp or 130bhp. There’s also an optional seven-speed dual-cutch gearbox. All very par for this class, then. There are hints Hyundai’s thought about chuckability – the new i30’s body is 28kg lighter and 22 per cent stiffer than before, thanks to more high-strength steel on-board. The i30 now owes 53 per cent of its construction to the stuff. That should bode well for when it’s got some firepower to deploy…

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has suggested he and the US are ready to drive so-called Islamic State (IS) from its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa. Mr Erdogan said US President Barack Obama floated the idea of joint action against the militants when they met at the G20 summit in China. He said Turkey would have "no problem" with such action. Last month Turkey launched an operation inside Syria, targeting both IS and Kurdish rebels. The US State Department would not confirm the details of Mr Erdogan's statement, but an official said it was important that "local forces" were involved in the fight to deliver "a lasting defeat" to IS. "The actions that Turkey is currently taking along its border with Syria, with US support, is having the important effect of isolating Raqqa," the official said. "That is a critical step in our ultimate objective to liberate Raqqa from Isil (IS) control." Islamic State group: The full story IS crisis in seven charts Turkish-backed militia have driven IS from the border town of Jarablus, but Turkey has also been concerned with checking the advance of Kurdish forces whom it regards as terrorists. The offensive continues, and Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli said Turkish forces might push deeper into Syria after securing a stretch of land along the border. Mr Canikli also said 110 Islamic State and Kurdish militia fighters had been killed since the operation began. Russia, which is allied to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, said it was "deeply concerned" by the Turkish advance. 'What is necessary will be done' Mr Erdogan's comments on Raqqa were published in Turkish media. "Obama wants to do some things jointly concerning Raqqa," Mr Erdogan said. "We said this would not be a problem from our perspective.'' "I said: 'Our soldiers should come together and discuss, then what is necessary will be done'," Mr Erdogan added. Mr Erdogan gave few other details but said more discussions would follow. Raqqa's fall was a key point in the rise of IS as it seized swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, and is now considered the jihadists' de facto capital. Between 250,000-500,000 people are still thought to live there, with brutal stories emerging of the treatment of civilians. Analysis: By Jonathan Marcus, BBC defence & diplomatic correspondent Through its large-scale incursion into northern Syria, Turkey has made itself a military player in the country. But Ankara's move, directed in part against Kurdish forces backed by Washington, prompted serious strains in US-Turkey relations, already poor in the wake of the failed coup against the Erdogan government. There is now a desire on both sides to improve ties and the suggestion from President Erdogan of US acquiescence in a Turkish role in the wider battle-plan to recapture Raqqa from IS is clearly part of this. It would be an acknowledgement by Washington of Turkey's continuing strategic interest in Syria. No details have been given as to what a Turkish role might amount to but clearly if Raqqa is attacked then the zone approaching the Turkish border to the north of the city needs to be secured to block the withdrawal of fleeing IS forces.

Augmented reality game Pokemon Go has landed up in an Indian court over allegations it is hurting the religious sentiments of millions of vegetarians. The high court in Gujarat state was asked to ban the game because its images of eggs in places of worship were "blasphemous" to Hindus and Jains. The court has asked the makers of Pokemon Go to respond to the charges. It is unclear if the makers, Niantic Inc, will do so. The court move has been met with derision on social media. Pokemon Go has not been officially released in India, but many still play thanks to workarounds. The game can be accessed from an Indian phone by signing into an iTunes account of any country where the game has been released. Many reports say temples are often Pokestops - especially marked landmarks where players can gather supplies. The petition also cited infringement of privacy, and a possible threat of life to the players searching for Pokemon animals as further grounds for banning the game. The news invited ridicule on social media, with Pokemon Go trending on Twitter in India. Many criticised the "frivolity" of the case, including former minister Shashi Tharoor who tweeted: "To file in the "Only in India" category! Would be funny if such frivolous cases didn't clog our judicial system."
