Image copyright AFP / Getty Image caption Carrie Lam at a flag-raising ceremony in Hong Kong on Wednesday Hong Kong is marking 23 years since British rule ended as a new “anti-protest” law, imposed by Beijing, comes into effect. The national security law targets secession, subversion and terrorism with punishments up to life in prison. Hong Kong was handed back to China from Britain in 1997, under an agreement supposed to protect certain freedoms for at least 50 years. But critics say the law is the “end of Hong Kong”, and stops those freedoms. “[China] promised 50 years of freedom to the Hong Kong people, and gave them only 23,” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said. China’s new law: Why is Hong Kong worried? The city’s leader, however, said the law would “restore stability” after widespread protests in 2019. “The [new law] is considered the most important development in relations between the central government and Hong Kong since the handover,” said Chief Executive...

Suman, who recently launched a campaign ‘ Justice For Sushant Forum ’, was addressing a press conference at the residence of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, a day after he met Rajput’s bereaved father at his residence here. “I strongly believe that Sushant’s death is not an open and shut case of suicide,” asserted Suman who claimed to have closely followed the investigation trail and pointed towards “missing links” like absence of a suicide note and facts like misplacement of a duplicate key to the house, and change of SIM card by the actor “50 times in a month”.

Chad Campbell will now enter self-isolation per tour guidelines. © AFP American Chad Campbell is the sixth US PGA Tour player to test positive for COVID-19 as the tour heads into the fourth week of its restart after a three-month shutdown. The tour said in a statement that Campbell had withdrawn from this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, where he was the first alternate, after he tested positive as part of the pre-tournament screening process. Campbell, a four-time tour winner, missed the cut at the first tournament since the coronavirus shutdown ended at Colonial three weeks ago and hadn’t played since. He will now enter self-isolation per tour guidelines and must be cleared medically before he can compete again. “While the positive test result is unnerving, I am incredibly grateful to be asymptomatic and feel physically well, and my thoughts are with anyone dealing with COVID, directly or indirectly,” Campbell said in a statement released through the tour.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Thousands of people celebrated the end of coronavirus in the city of Prague on Tuesday The World Health Organization (WHO) warned this week that the pandemic was not even close to being over, but in the Czech Republic, a party has been held to give the coronavirus a “symbolic farewell”. Thousands of guests sat at a 500 metre-long (1640ft) table on the Charles Bridge in Prague on Tuesday sharing food and drinks they had brought from home. Guests were encouraged to share with their neighbours and there was no social distancing, something people in countries under lockdown will find hard to relate to. There have been fewer than 12,000 infections in the Czech Republic, a country of 10 million. About 350 people have died. The event’s organiser said the celebration was possible due to a lack of tourists in the famously charming city. How is Europe’s lockdown being lifted?

The June 30 episode featured no audience, but the talent wasn’t lacking whatsoever. One act made history and moved Sofia Vergara to tears, while another stunned the judges with her amazing voice and revealed she’s pregnant! The June 30 episode is unlike any episode of America’s Got Talent . There’s no audience due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Heidi Klum is still out sick, so Eric Stonestreet is sticking around. The first act to hit the stage is Cheer Athletics , a competitive cheer group from Texas. They blow the judges away with their amazing stunts and tumbling skills. At one point, Sofia Vergara’s jaw drops. Howie Mandel calls the group “terrific” and notes how cheerleading is so much more dangerous than the sports the cheerleaders are cheering for. Simon Cowell believes that the AGT audience is going to love this act. Brandon Leake earns Howie Mandel’s Golden Buzzer during the June 30 episode. (NBC) The next act is a young piano player named Jacob Velazquez . ...

Lyft’s self-driving vehicle division has restarted testing on public roads in California, several months after pausing operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Lyft’s Level 5 program said Tuesday some of its autonomous vehicles are back on the road in Palo Alto and at its closed test track. The company has not resumed a pilot program that provided rides to Lyft employees in Palo Alto. The company said it is following CDC guidelines for personal protective equipment and surface cleaning. It has also enacted several additional safety steps to prevent the spread of COVID. Each autonomous test vehicle is equipped with partitions to separate the two safety operators inside, the company said. The operators must wear face shields and submit to temperature checks. They’re also paired together for two weeks at a time. Lyft’s Level 5 program — a nod to the SAE automated driving level that means the vehicle handles all driving in all conditions — launched in July 2017 but didn’t starting te...

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Boogaloo followers are fixated on firearms and preparing for another US civil war Facebook says it has removed and banned hundreds of accounts connected to a “violent” and “anti-government” US movement. It said the network was loosely linked to the broader far-right “Boogaloo” movement but was distinct because it actively sought to commit violence. Armed Boogaloo members have been seen at recent US protests. The move comes Facebook faces a boycott from advertisers over hate speech on the platform. Major companies including Ford, Adidas, Coca-Cola and Starbucks have pulled advertising from Facebook, urged on by campaigners who say the social media firm doesn’t do enough to remove racist and other hateful content. On Tuesday, Facebook said it was disrupting the “dangerous” group on its platform. “It is actively promoting violence against civilians, law enforcement and government officials and institutions,” a statement said. “Mem...

Facebook’s recently launched app, Hobbi , an experiment in short-form content creation around personal projects, hobbies, and other Pinterest-y content, is already shutting down. The app first arrived on iOS in February as one of now several launches from Facebook’s internal R&D group, the NPE Team. Hobbi users have now been notified by way of push notification that the app is shutting down on July 10, 2020. The app allows users to export their data from its settings. In the few months it’s been live on the U.S. App Store, Hobbi only gained 7,000 downloads, according to estimates from Sensor Tower. Apptopia also reported the app had under 10K downloads and saw minimal gains during May and June. Though Hobbi clearly took cues from Pinterest, it was not designed to be a pinboard of inspirational ideas. Instead, Hobbi users would organize photos of their projects — like gardening, cooking, arts & crafts, décor, and more — in a visual diary of sorts. The goal was to photograph ...

Phaedra Parks answered the question on many Bravo fans’ minds: is she open to returning to ‘RHOA’? It has been three years since Phaedra Parks ‘ dramatic exit from  The Real Housewives of Atlanta , and she’s now ready to talk about the potential idea of coming back. Such a possibility may end in the talking stage, though, judging by her interview with That Grape Juice shared on June 30!

Image copyright AFP All week, millions of Russians have been voting to reform their constitution, many using polling stations set up on tree stumps, park benches and even car boots. Giant prize draws have helped entice them to the ballot, with the chance of winning everything from shopping vouchers to a car or flat. Opposition figures have dismissed the whole process as a farce, stretched over a week with no proper monitoring or independent scrutiny. But for the Kremlin the amendments are vital. The vote will clear the way for Vladimir Putin to stay in power up to 2036, if he chooses. Putin’s vision of Russia Not that the president mentioned that in his address to the nation ahead of the final day of voting. “We are voting for the country we want to live in… and which we want to hand down to our children,” Mr Putin declared, standing beneath a giant, ghostly new statue of a Soviet soldier, to underline the “patriotic” theme that runs through this process.

Facebook Avatars, which lets users customize a virtual lookalike of themselves for use as stickers in chat and comments, is now available in India, the social juggernaut’s biggest market by users account. The American firm said Tuesday it had launched Avatars to India as more social interaction moves online amid a nationwide lockdown in the world’s second largest internet market. The company said Avatars supports a variety of faces, hairstyles, outfits that are customized for users in India. Avatars’ launch comes to India at the height of a backlash against Chinese apps in the country — some of which have posed serious competition to Facebook’s ever-growing tentacles in Asia’s third-largest economy. On Monday evening, New Delhi ordered to ban TikTok and nearly 60 other apps developed by Chinese firms . The social giant’s Avatars, a clone of  Snapchat’s popular Bitmoji , was first unveiled last year. The feature, which Facebook sees as an expression tool, aims at turn...
