CLEVELAND POLICE SHOOT DEAD BOY "12 age", CARRYING FAKE GUN

A 12-year-old boy has been shot dead by police in the US city of Cleveland, after brandishing what turned out to be a fake gun in a playground.

Police say an officer fired two shots at the boy after he failed to obey an order to raise his hands.

A caller reported the boy to police for scaring people with a gun but said that he did not know if it was real. One of the officers was in his first year on the local force, the other had more than 10 years of experience.

AIRSOFT

The medical examiner for Cuyahoga County identified the boy as Tamir Rice. Cleveland deputy police chief Ed Tomba said the boy was shot twice after pulling the gun from the waistband of his trousers.

He died later in hospital. The boy did not make any verbal threats nor point the gun towards the officers, Mr Tomba added.

Police said the weapon was an "airsoft" replica gun that resembled a semi-automatic pistol, adding that an orange safety indicator had been removed.

The caller said the boy was pulling the gun in and out of his trousers. "I don't know if it's real or not," the caller told police.

But Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland police association, said the two officers at the scene were not told about the caller's comments.

The BBC's David Willis in Washington says an investigation is under way and both officers have been placed on administrative leave.

He says there have already been calls for tighter controls on fake guns, with one local lawmaker - Alicia Reece - saying she intends to introduce legislation that would require fake guns sold in Ohio to be brightly coloured.

Cleveland's police force has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, most notably over a high-profile car chase in 2012 that ended with two deaths and officers firing 137 shots.

The US Justice Department is currently conducting an investigation of the force's pursuit and use-of-force practices.

BOMBER KILLS 45 AT AFGHAN VOLLEYBALL MATCH

A suicide bomber has killed at least 45 people at a volleyball tournament in eastern Afghanistan, officials say. A spokesman for the governor of Paktika province told the BBC that the attacker had detonated the bomb amid a crowd of people gathering for a game.

About 60 people were also wounded in the bombing in Yahyakhail district. It came after Afghan MPs approved security deals allowing Nato and US soldiers to remain after the withdrawal of most foreign troops next month.

The total number of soldiers in the new Nato force will be about 12,000. Their mission has been defined as training, advising and assisting the Afghan security forces.

There will also be a separate US-led force dealing with the remnants of al-Qaeda. It emerged on Saturday, however, that President Barack Obama has approved guidelines to allow US troops to fight the Taliban and provide air support for Afghan missions.

Sunday's bombing occurred when a crowd of people were preparing to watch the final of a regional volleyball tournament. All the casualties were civilians.

Provincial spokesman Mokhis Afghan said: "There were too many people gathered in the one place to watch the game. Dozens of others are wounded and we have reports that many of them are in critical condition."

The Taliban have stepped up attacks on both Western and Afghan targets across the country this year. The agreements with Nato and the US still need to be ratified by the Afghan upper house.

ZAIDI YA WATU 28 WAUAWA NA WANAMGAMMBO NCHINI KENYA

Polisi nchini Kenya wanasema kuwa wanamgambo wanaoshukiwa kuwa wa kundi la Al Shabaab wamewauwa kwa kuwapiga risasi zaidi ya watu 28 waliokuwa wakisafiri kwenye basi moja karibu na mpaka wa Somalia.

Maafisa wa ngazi ya juu wamesema kuwa basi hilo lilitekwanyara katika Jimbo la Mandera wakati likiwa njiani kuelekea katika mji mkuu Nairobi.

Watu wasiokuwa waislamu wanasemakana kutengwa na abiria wengine na kisha kupigwa risasi. Kundi la al-Shabab nchini Somalia limetekeleza mashambulizi kadhaa nchini Kenya tangu mwaka 2011.

Huo ndio mwaka ambapo Kenya iliwatuma wanajeshi wake nchini Somalia kupigana na kundi hilo la waislamu wenye itikadi kali. Mji wa Mandera katika eneo la Kaskazini mashariki ndio ulioathirika pakubwa.

Baada ya shambulio hilo la mapema jumamosi maafisa katika eneo hilo wamenukuliwa na vyombo vya habari nchini kenya wakisema kuwa serikali ilikataa kuitikia ombi lao la kutaka usalama kudumishwa zaidi.

Afisa mmoja ameliambia gazeti la Daily Nation kwamba wavamizi hao waliwataka abiria kusoma aya katika Koran kabla ya kuwaangamiza walioshindwa kufanya hivyo.

IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS ENTER FINAL DAYS BEFORE DEADLINE

Hardline anxiety over Rouhani grows more acute Pessimism pervades Iran nuclear deal talks Nuclear deal keeps Iran's floundering economy afloat Talks on Iran's nuclear programme are entering a crucial weekend in Vienna but there is no sign of a breakthrough as Monday's deadline looms.

The US admitted that "serious gaps do remain". But Secretary of State John Kerry did cancel plans to leave Austria, and held further talks with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif late on Friday.

Six world powers want Iran to curb its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of UN sanctions. The US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia and China want Iran to demonstrate it is not seeking to build nuclear weapons, in the face of protestations by Tehran that its programme is purely energy-related.

'No new ideas' "We are running against the clock," White House spokesman Eric Schultz was quoted as saying in Washington by the AFP news agency.

Potential deal-breakers International sanctions mean the motor works company Iran Khodro is trying to source all its spare parts locally Uranium enrichment:

Western states want to reduce Iran's capacity in order to prevent it acquiring weapons-grade material but Tehran is set on expanding it nearly 20-fold in the coming years Sanctions reduction.

Iran wants sanctions lifted immediately but Western states want to stagger their removal to ensure Tehran abides by its commitments Bomb technology.

Iran has failed to explain explosives tests and other activity that could be linked to a nuclear weapons programme and has denied international nuclear inspectors access to its Parchin military site "Obviously, the deadline is Monday, and our folks there (in Vienna) are working furiously to meet it.

Serious gaps do remain." After meeting Mr Kerry on Friday evening, Mr Zarif said he heard "no new ideas" and had received "no remarkable proposals to take to Tehran".

John Kerry had cancelled his plans to leave Vienna to hold further talks with the Iranian team The aim is to turn an interim accord reached with Tehran a year ago into a lasting agreement. Iran has been resisting efforts to scale back its nuclear programme for nearly a decade.

Separately, the international nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is calling on Iran to address its concerns about suspicious military activities that could be linked to a nuclear weapons programme.

Iran had promised to give the IAEA a response by late August to allegations concerning explosives tests and other activity but has failed to do so and has also denied access to a key military site, Parchin.

A senior Iranian official told the BBC the team was expecting to reach an outline of a deal by the deadline and then spend the following seven-to-10 days working on the implementation of it at expert level. UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond called on Iran to show "flexibility".

At the same time, he warned: "We have a long way to go if we are to get to a deal before the deadline." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that "all the elements are already on the table" as long as there was "political will". The deal being sought by the world powers is not directly linked to the IAEA's investigation of Iran.

However, the US has said in the past that Iran must address the watchdog's concerns if it expects a comprehensive agreement in the talks.

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said Iran had not "provided any explanations that enable the agency to clarify the outstanding practical measures".

EBOLA OUTBREAK CAN BE ENDED IN 2015, BAN KI-MOON SAYS

The deadly Ebola outbreak can be ended "by the middle of next year" if the world speeds up its response, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said.

But he warned that although the rate of new cases was slowing in parts of West Africa, Mali - where six people have died - was now of deep concern.

And the head of the UN Ebola mission, Anthony Banbury, said the world was "far away" from beating the virus. Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have been worst hit by the Ebola outbreak.

More than 5,400 people have died in those three countries, along with a handful of others in Nigeria, Mali, Spain and the US.

In a separate development, Liberian police said all the country's beaches would be closed from 29 November until Liberia was declared free of Ebola.

In a statement, the police said anyone using the beach in violation of the order would be prosecuted.

TASK FORCE

Speaking at a meeting in Washington with officials from the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Mr Ban said: "If we continue to accelerate our response, we can contain and end the outbreak by the middle of next year."

Nearly 500 people are currently under surveillance in Mali, the authorities there say He said that so far results in the international effort to tackle Ebola remained uneven, stressing that many more health workers were needed in the worst-hit countries in West Africa.

"Our end game is not near. We must get to zero cases. Ebola is not a disease where you can leave a few cases and say you've done enough."

Mr Ban said the situation in Mali was of particular concern. WHO chief Margaret Chan is to travel to Mali later on Saturday, and the UN has already announced a special taskforce for the country to deal with the outbreak.

Mr Banbury, the head of the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (Unmeer), warned that "we are far, far away from ending this crisis".
"There is a long battle ahead of us," he added.

UNDER SURVEILLANCE

The UN's comments came as a doctor in Mali died after treating a patient who had sparked a second Ebola wave in the country.

The doctor, whose name has not been released, had worked in a clinic in the capital Bamako where an Islamic preacher from Guinea was admitted last month.

Preacher Oussa Koita was initially diagnosed with a kidney problem and has since died, along with another health worker.

A two-year-old girl also died from Ebola in Mali last month in a separate case, which did not lead to any further infections.

Nearly 500 people are currently under surveillance in Mali, the authorities there say. Ebola is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person showing symptoms, such as fever or vomiting.

People caring for the sick or handling the bodies of people infected Ebola are therefore especially vulnerable.

ANDROID LOLLIPOP UPDATE CAUSES PROBLEMS

Android Lollipop update causes problems

Adobe Air-based apps being wiped from their handsets Early adopters of Google's latest Android operating system are warning others of problems with the software.

Issues include the update causing Nexus 7 tablets to run slowly and repeatedly crash, with several users complaining they had become "unusable".

The code also appears to remove apps built with Adobe Air and then prevent them from being reinstalled. Adobe said it had not been aware of this "critical" bug before Tuesday and had escalated it with Google.

A spokesman for the search firm was unable to comment at this time. 'Shockingly bad' Android 5.0 - also known as Lollipop - is described as a "quantum leap forward" by Google and has attracted several positive reviews, fuelling desire for the software.

It revamps the system's user interface, offers greater control over notifications, and makes changes to the way the OS executes code, which Google said should mean fewer "temporary glitches" than before.

At the moment, it is only available to a limited number of machines, because many network operators and device manufacturers have yet to complete their own tests.

However, owners of Nexus-branded machines - which are sold by Google itself - can install the software by downloading it from the firm's website or, in the case of the Asus-made Nexus 7, accepting an over-the-air update.

Android Lollipop adapts its look to suit smartwatches, smartphones and tablets Nvidia, LG and Motorola have also released Android Lollipop updates for some of their handsets and tablets.

Dozens of messages posted to Google's own forums suggest that owners of the 2012 version of the Nexus 7, in particular, are experiencing headaches. "Some apps won't work and some crash.

I wish I didn't install the update," wrote Kristen Sawyer. Another user, nicknamed StretchToo said: "Chrome is dead, unusable, Firefox just about works, the keyboard takes over a minute to load, nearly works if you hunt and peck but dies if you try to swipe."

Android 5.0 was released to the public earlier this month Some tablet owners have, however, suggested potential solutions to such problems. "Updated and the Nexus is [so] shockingly bad it is basically unusable, lags just rotating the screen, every task takes 10 seconds to perform if it does it [at all]," wrote Gary Looker.

"I've turned off Google Now, changed transitions to zero and limited it to two background apps maximum like the good people here suggested. "I shouldn't have to do that, and many people won't know where to turn or who to listen to." ESCALATING THE ISSUES Several Android Lollipop users have also highlighted compatibility problems with Air-based apps.

Users say Android Lollipop refuses to reinstall some wiped Adobe Air-based apps Air allows developers to use Adobe's Flash and Dreamweaver tools to create software, and is particularly popular with indie video game makers.

Examples of titles that use the tech include Machinarium, Hero Mages and Empire Four Kingdoms, while non-gaming examples include Instaweather Pro and Conqu.

"We were previously unaware of this bug and contrary to other reports, were not working with Google on a fix," wrote Adobe product manager Chris Campbell in response.

"However, we are working with Google on another self-signed certificate issue that is impacting in-app purchases. It's possible the two are related, but we do not have enough information at this time to determine one way or the other.

"That said, we'll be escalating this issue with Google immediately." Reports elsewhere suggest some users are experiencing problems with text messages, the way contacts are managed, and wi-fi connectivity.

'Best to wait' Bugs in major software updates are not uncommon. Apple apologised in September after faults with iOS 8 caused some of its new iPhones to be unable to make and receive calls, and also restricted their Touch ID functionality.

Apple experienced problems of its own following the release of iOS 8 One expert said in general, there were benefits to waiting a few days after a release date before installing upgrades.

"With any software update it makes sense to watch and see if there are any teething problems," said Ian Fogg, from the IHS Technology consultancy. "Consumers like it and benefit when their devices gain a new lease of life with new features - but they expect what they used to use to continue to work, and that can be tricky.

"What's striking about Android Lollipop is that it's reaching devices from more manufacturers, more more quickly than previous versions of Android. "Motorola, LG and Nvidia have devices receiving Lollipop almost at the same time as Nexus devices.

"That has benefits to consumers who get it quicker... but of course makes it more complex for Google, which has to manage problems across a wider range of phones and tablets early on."

Harusi moja iliyofanyika huko nchini Nigeria iliwaacha watu midomo wazi baada ya kuona keki ya shughuli hiyo kufanana kabisa na bi harusi bila hata kukosea kitu hata kimoja.

Keki hiyo inayotathimiwa kuwa ndio keki ya gharama kubwa ambayo haijawahi kutokea nchini humo kuwa imegharimu dola za kimarekani 17000 sawa na milioni kama thelathini hivi za kitanzania.

Tajiri huyo ambaye alifunga ndoa yake miezi kadhaa iliyopita alisema kwamba alitaka kufanya ndoa yake iwe ya kipekee nchini humo, na ndio imekuwa harusi ya kipekee kutokea nchini humo.

NOKIA N1 ANDROID TABLET CAUSES A SURPRISE

The Nokia N1 features a customised version of Android developed by the Finnish firm Nokia is launching an Android-powered tablet, marking the Finnish company's return to consumer electronics.

The surprise launch pits the firm against Microsoft, which completed its takeover of Nokia's previous mobile-devices business in April. The N1 tablet is due to go on sale in China towards the start of 2015, ahead of other countries.

Nokia said it was not making the device itself, but had licensed its brand, design and software to a third-party. Taiwanese manufacture Foxconn is the licensee.

"This is a great product for Nokia fans and everyone who has not found the right Android tablet yet," said Sebastian Nystrom, head of products at Nokia Technologies, who announced the product at the Slush technology conference in Helsinki.

One company watcher was startled by the move. "I'm surprised how quickly Nokia has decided to do this. But equally if Nokia was going to do anything with its brand, it was going to have to do it quickly," said Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight.

Microsoft still sells the Nokia-branded Lumia 2520 tablet "The brand has been in a consistent state of freefall over the past three years, so if they are going to extract any value from it they needed to do it sooner than later."

Microsoft sells Nokia-labelled kit of its own, including the Lumia 2520 Windows RT-powered tablet. Earlier this month, it unveiled its first Lumia smartphone without the Nokia name.

But it indicated that it would continue using the brand on its less powerful "feature phone" line-up, saying it had the right to do so for up to a decade under the terms of its $7.2bn (£4.6bn) takeover. It is not clear whether Nokia's announcement affects those plans.

"There's no question Microsoft will not be a little frustrated that at a time when it's trying to defocus the Nokia brand, here is something that resurrects it prematurely," said Mr Wood. "In some respects it will also cause a bit of confusion." The only comment from Microsoft was a brief statement: "This is a Nokia announcement and is not associated in any way with Microsoft."

ANDROID SKIN

The N1 is a 7.9in (20.1cm) aluminium-framed tablet, whose design resembles the iPad Mini. Unlike Apple's device, however, it is powered by Google's Android 5.0 operating system, features an Intel Atom processor and has a Micro-USB slot.

The planned retail price is $249 (£159). The N1 features a 64-bit Intel quad-core Atom processor and an aluminium shell It runs Nokia's own Z Launcher user interface - known as a skin - on top of Android.

The previously announced software allows owners to draw letters on the tablet's screen with one of their fingers to search for related content and changes the apps presented on the machine's home screen according to the time of day and the device's location.

"For Nokia, the advantages of licensing are considerable. Nokia can enter the mobile device market without needing to worry about manufacturing, supply chain management, stock control or hardware distribution," said Ian Fogg, director of mobile analysis at research firm IHS Technology.

But, he noted, previous partnerships had not lived to expectation. "The Symbian venture over a smartphone OS ran into the ground amid bureaucracy and differing partner visions," he said.

"Nokia failed to establish successful licensing of its Series 60 software. The Intel partnership with Meego [an operating system] was aborted after just one year in as Nokia switched to Microsoft.

"And, Nokia has only just extricated itself from the choice of Windows Phone. Nokia must execute much better with licensing and mobile devices this time if it is to succeed."

Nokia reported a return to health in October after it posted a third-quarter net profit of 747m euros ($935m; £597m) thanks to the work of its network equipment, mapping and software divisions, which had previously been weighed down by its loss-making hardware business.
