| Fox News apologises for '3 Mexican countries' headline Posted: 01 Apr 2019 12:16 PM PDT  Fox News apologised for airing an on-screen graphic inaccurately reporting Donald Trump was planning to reduce aid to "three Mexican countries" last week.While airing a segment on the early morning "Fox & Friends" on Sunday, a full-width headline at the bottom of the screen read: "Trump Cuts Aid to 3 Mexican Countries," rather than President Trump's actual statement announcing cutting foreign aid to three countries in South America: Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala in response to migrants crossing the US border with Mexico.Ed Henry, a co-host for Sunday's program, corrected and apologised for the error on-air."We want to clarify and correct something that happened earlier in the show," Mr Henry said. "We had an inaccurate graphic on-screen while talking about this very story. We just want to be clear, the funding is being cut off to the three Central American countries. We apologize for the error — it never should've happened."Several people on Twitter jumped on the glaring on-air error. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been a frequent target by the network, criticised the geographical error. "These are the same folks who assert their superiority by belittling the intelligence and good faith of others," she tweeted.> "3 Mexican Countries." > > Just a reminder that these are the same folks who assert their superiority by belittling the intelligence and good faith of others.https://t.co/7JA1kCdIoS pic.twitter.com/CwINMXAarO> > — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) > > March 31, 2019Others believe the error signals the lack of diversity and inclusion among the Fox News network.> Newsrooms make mistakes all the time and Fox News issued a correction. > > But this highlights an underlying problem in the news business.

| Venezuela: Maduro calls on armed groups to keep order amid electricity rationing Posted: 01 Apr 2019 08:09 AM PDT  President announces 30-day rationing plan and says pro-government colectivos must 'defend the peace of every block' Nicolás Maduro said: 'We are facing a group of monsters who want to destroy Venezuela.' Photograph: AFP/Getty Images Venezuela's authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro has called on armed pro-government groups to help subdue unrest as he announced a 30-day electricity rationing plan set to inflict further pain on the population. In a televised address, Maduro said he had no choice but to take drastic measures while his government rebuilt key sections of Venezuela's national grid following a succession of crippling power failures since 7 March. Experts and Maduro's political opponents say the repeated collapse of Venezuela's electricity system – which has left millions without light or water – is a consequence of years of neglect, corruption and incompetence. But in his late-night appearance Maduro repeated the Socialist party line that Venezuela had suffered a series of "brutish attacks" masterminded by his political opponents and their supporters in the White House. "We are facing a group of monsters who want to destroy Venezuela," Maduro said, claiming their aim was to topple his government by "making the people and the country go mad". Amid growing fears that Venezuela's crisis could be moving into a violent new phase, Maduro instructed "revolutionary and patriotic" government supporters and armed pro-government gangs known as colectivos to mobilize "to defend the peace of every barrio, of every block". "They will not take away our peace," Maduro vowed. Last week Maduro's second-in-command, Diosdado Cabello, appeared in a menacing video flanked by dozens of masked men and women who he referred to as "peace defenders" but who many fear have been tasked with violently repressing dissent. There were signs on Sunday that such groups had begun responding to the government's calls. As further blackouts struck Venezuela and citizens took to the streets to protest, photographs and videos circulated appearing to show armed men confronting demonstrators in the capital, Caracas. Two protesters were reported to have been shot after burning blockades were set up in streets near the presidential palace. "We're here fighting for water and power, we've gone twenty-some days without water," Yofre Gamez, 32, told Reuters as shots rang out. In the western state of Zulia, perhaps the worst affected by the electricity crisis, opposition leaders claimed a 70-year-old woman had been shot dead by members of one colectivo during a protest. Footage also circulated on social media that appeared to show paramilitaries and police special forces searching a housing estate for protesters in Barquisimeto, Venezuela's fourth largest city. Maduro's challenger, Juan Guaidó, claimed such paramilitary groups were trying – but failing – to suppress popular opposition to Hugo Chávez's successor, who has led Venezuela into economic crisis. "We must stay strong and stay in the streets," tweeted Guaidó, who most western governments have recognized as Venezuela's legitimate leader. The Venezuelan human rights group Provea said Maduro's so-called "peace squads" were actually paramilitary gangs tasked with spreading violence and shooting protesters. "Maduro's peace means violence against the people," Provea said. As Venezuelans braced for weeks of hardship and uncertainty, Maduro urged them to have faith in his government – and in God. "God must accompany us with his blessings in this, the most difficult of battles that we must face," Maduro said, before being applauded by senior political and military leaders.

| Avocado shortages, virgin margaritas: Border shutdown would hit American palates Posted: 01 Apr 2019 03:15 AM PDT  From the avocados on avocado toast, to the limes and tequila in margaritas, the United States is heavily reliant on Mexican imports of fruit, vegetables and alcohol to meet consumer demand.

| AOC fires back at Liz Cheney over 'dead people' comment: 'I see you get your news from Facebook memes' Posted: 02 Apr 2019 03:46 AM PDT  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has hit back at Liz Cheney after the Republican congresswoman accused her Democratic colleague of misunderstanding the history of the US constitution. Ms Cheney, daughter of former president Dick Cheney, on Monday shared a video of Ms Ocasio-Cortez in which she claimed the Democratic party used to be so popular politicians in the 1940s had to amend the Constitution in order to stop Franklin D Roosevelt being re-elected. The comment was mocked by critics who pointed out Roosevelt died two years before Congress ratified the 22 Amendment, which prevented presidents from serving more than two terms."We knew the Democrats let dead people vote. According to @AOC, they can run for President, too," Ms Cheney tweeted in reference to a conspiracy theory espoused by Donald Trump."I see from your dead people comment that you get your news from Facebook memes," responded Ms Ocasio-Cortez, who linked to a Newsweek article she said would "clarify your misunderstanding" of the 22nd Amendment.Despite the crticism, Ms Ocasio-Cortez was at least partially justified in her claim Roosevelt's popularity forced a constitutional change.Lawmakers were already pushing for the 22nd Amendment when Roosevelt won an unprecedented fourth term in 1944. He died less than three months after his inauguration the following year, before a Republican-controlled Congress ratified the amendment in 1947.

| Trump declares U.S. census 'meaningless' without citizenship question Posted: 01 Apr 2019 10:38 AM PDT  The comment on Twitter came ahead of an expected Supreme Court ruling by the end of June on whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' decision to add the citizenship question violated federal law.

| Japan chooses new imperial era of 'Reiwa' from Japanese rather than Chinese source for first time Posted: 31 Mar 2019 09:06 PM PDT  The name of Japan's new imperial era unveiled yesterday/MON was selected from Japanese rather than Chinese texts for the first time in more than 1,000 years, hinting at the government's nationalist leanings. Following months of secret discussions, the name of the new era was announced by the Japanese government as Reiwa, which can be translated as "auspicious harmony". The Reiwa era, which will become the 248th era – or "gengo" - in Japanese history, will commence on May 1 when Crown Prince Naruhito ascends the Chrysanthemum Throne, following the abdication of his father Emperor Akihito the previous day. Unusually, the new era name was not selected from traditional Chinese texts, as has been the case since Japan's first gengo began more than 1,300 years ago in 645AD. Instead, Reiwa was taken from a Japanese classic for the first time in the nation's history, with the word originating from 7th century Manyoshu, the country's oldest existing collection of poetry. The abdication of Emperor Akihito will bring to an end the 30-year Heisei era – meaning "achieving peace" - a period likely to be associated with the collapse of the bubble economy as well as the March 11, 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis. Crown Prince Naruhito, Crown Princess Masako and Princess Aiko are seen on arrival at Nagano Station on March 25, 2019 Credit: The Asahi Shimbun The decision to subvert tradition and use a Japanese rather than Chinese text to mark a new and modern era for Japan appears to tie in with the nationalist leanings of prime minister Shinzo Abe's conservative government. Bilateral tensions with China and regular flare-ups over territorial disputes have become a near-constant backdrop to Mr Abe's tenure in power, while the PM has also regularly voiced his determination to revise the nation's pacifist postwar constitution by 2020. Announcing the new gengo live on television, Yoshihide Suga, the chief cabinet secretary, held up a framed placard with the era name written in two calligraphic black kanji symbols on white paper. Shortly after the announcement, Mr Abe highlighted the positivity of the new name, explaining that it reflected how culture is born and grows when people come together and "care for each other beautifully". He added: "With this selection of a new era name, I renew my commitment to pioneer a new era that will be filled with hope." Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announces the new imperial era, which will begin next month Credit: KAZUHIRO NOGI/AFP The characters are taken from one particular poem referencing plum blossoms that reads: "It is now the choice month of early spring; the weather is fine, the wind is soft. The plum blossoms open - powder before a mirror; the orchids exhale - fragrance after a sachet." The unveiling of new era name was hotly awaited in Japan, as the Imperial calendar remains widely used on coins and in official documents such as driving licences as well as by newspapers. Reiwa was selected after the government spent months studying proposals from scholars of both Japanese and Chinese literature and history. Suggestions were then discussed by a panel of nine experts, including Sadayuki Sakakibara, former chairman of the Japan Business Federation, novelist Mariko Hayashi and Nobel Prize winning scientist Shinya Yamanaka. While gengo names are traditionally announced after the succession of a new emperor, the announcement was brought forward on this occasion in order to minimise disruption to businesses and computer systems. T-shirts have been manufactured marking the new era Credit: Tomohiro Ohsumi/Getty Images Some experts cited concerns relating to potential computer glitches caused by the calendar change, with companies such as Microsoft offering support to customers preparing for the switch. Japan originally imported the imperial calendar system from China and is today the only country in the world that uses a "gengo" era name system. The gengo system is often used alongside the Western calendar in modern-day Japan. A recent Mainichi newspaper survey revealed that around 34 per cent of Japanese use the Imperial calendar in daily life, another 34 per cent use both gengo and the Western calendars and a quarter use mainly the Western system.

| Apple insider claims 2019 iPhones will have two-way wireless charging Posted: 01 Apr 2019 10:50 AM PDT  All of the major smartphone vendors around the world do their best to one-up the competition year in and year out, and this year, it's Apple's turn to play catch-up. Samsung's latest phones feature a variety of bleeding-edge upgrades, including 5G connectivity, quad rear cameras, Infinity-O displays, and two-way wireless charging. Apple will no doubt bring some of these features to its next flagship phones, but at least one has been all but confirmed by the always reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week in an investor note.According to Kuo, Apple will bring two-way wireless charging (also known as bilateral or reverse charging) to its next iPhone models, expected to launch this fall. Two-way wireless charging will let the iPhone charge other devices, such as the new AirPods wireless charging case, and all three models are said to have this ability.Here's a quote from Kuo's investor note, in which he notes that Apple is a bit late to the party:> We expect the new 2H19 iPhone models will support two-way wireless charging. Though the iPhone is not the first high-end smartphone to be equipped with two-way wireless charging, this new function could make it more convenient for users to charge the new AirPods and create a better integrated user experience of the iPhone and AirPods.Also in the note, via 9to5Mac, Kuo says that Apple will increase the size of the battery in each new iPhone model to accommodate two-way charging. The battery in the 5.8-inch iPhone (the follow-up to the iPhone XS) will apparently receive a 20-25% bump, while the 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max sequel will have a 10-15% increase in battery capacity. Meanwhile, the 6.1-inch model is said to only be receiving an 0.5% enlargement.
