Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite and Mi 8 Pro, These are Sightings and Specifications

Xiaomi launched the Mi 8 Pro and Mi 8 Lite. In China, Xiaomi named the two phones as Mi 8 Screen Fingerprint and Mi 8 Youth Edition. Of the two, the Mi 8 Pro is a more interesting device considering it is equipped with a fingerprint sensor below the screen.

The Mi 8 Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 as a processor, 6GB of RAM or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory. Xiaomi uses an OLED screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2248 and measures 6.21 inches for the screen of this phone.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro also comes with two rear cameras. Each rear camera has a 12MP resolution. As for the front camera, the Mi 8 Pro has a 20MP resolution camera. In addition to the fingerprint sensor, this phone is equipped with the Face Unlock feature.

As mentioned by The Verge, Mi 8 Pro is similar to the iPhone X. However, this phone has a much cheaper price. For 6GB RAM variants and 128GB memory, Mi 8 Pro is priced starting from CNY3,200. In China, this cellphone is available on the market on September 21st.

Mi 8 Pro is not the first smartphone to have a fingerprint sensor embedded on the screen. Chances are, there will be more and more smartphones using this technology, such as Vivo X21.

Given that Apple usually doesn't use new technology directly on its cellphone, it's likely that Samsung's smartphone will first have a fingerprint sensor on the screen than the iPhone.

Trump Blames Syria about Russian Aircraft Falling in the Mediterranean

Trump Blames Syria about Russian Aircraft Falling in the Mediterranean

US President Donald Trump said Syria was a shooter of Russian military aircraft that crashed in the Mediterranean Sea. Trump's statement contradicts the Russian Government which previously accused Israel of being the source of the incident.

"It sounds to me, and in my opinion, based on the fact review, that Syria shot down Russian planes. And I understand that around 14 people were killed and that was very sad but that was what happened, "Trump said as quoted by Reuters.



Trump added that his party was currently trying to "clean up" Syria from the Islamic State (IS) group.

"We have done extraordinary work in Syria and in the region eradicated ISIS, that's why we are there. And we almost finished the job, "he said.

Regardless of Trump's assumption, the Russian Defense Ministry will steadily retaliate against Israel's actions which are alleged to have carried out hostile actions against his country.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, IL-20 military aircraft, in which there were 15 soldiers, crashed because of Syrian anti-fighter aircraft gunfire which was the Red Bear State's ally.

Although actually because of Syria, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Israel must take responsibility. This is because at the time of the incident, Israeli fighter jets were carrying out air strikes on Syria.

Therefore, Russian aircraft near the Israeli attack area did not have time to escape. The plane was finally hit by a shot and then fell.

UN: One Child Died Every Five Seconds

The UN agency which deals with humanitarian assistance for children (Unicef) says one child dies every five seconds. Most of them die due to lack of water, sanitation, nutrition and basic health needs. In 2017, an estimated 6.3 million children died before the age of 15.

Most of these deaths, 5.4 million, occur within the first five years of a child's life. Newborns contribute about half of the deaths.

Unicef

"With simple solutions such as medicines, clean water, electricity and vaccines this number of victims can be significantly reduced," said Laurence Chandy of Unicef. But without immediate action, 56 million children under five, half of them newborns, will die between this year and 2030.

Globally, in 2017, half of the deaths of children under five are in sub-Saharan Africa, where one in 13 children dies before the age of five. According to a report compiled jointly by Unicef, the World Health Organization and the World Bank in high-income countries, child mortality is one of 185 children.

It was found that most children under five died of causes that could be prevented or treated such as complications during birth, pneumonia, diarrhea, neonatal sepsis, and malaria. For children aged five to 14 years, accidents are often the main cause of death. This is mainly from sinking and traffic accidents.

For children, the most difficult time is the first month of life. In 2017, 2.5 million newborns died in the first month. Babies born in sub-Saharan Africa or in South Asia are nine times more likely to die in the first month than those born in high-income countries.

Regardless of the problem, the UN report found that the number of children who die each year throughout the world has decreased. The number of under-five deaths decreased to 5.4 million in 2017 from 12.6 million in 1990. While the number of deaths between the ages of five and 14 dropped to below one million from 1.7 million in the same period.

Sighting to the Armory, Israel Attack Syria

Israel attacked Syria again on Saturday (9/15) last night. One area near the airport in Damascus was the target of this attack.

According to Syrian state media reports a number of Israeli missiles successfully prevented Syrian air defense. "Our air defense system foils Israeli missile aggression," the SANA news agency quoted a military source as saying on Sunday (9/16).

Meanwhile, the leader of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the UK said yesterday's missile attack targeted weapons depots in the airport area.

The place is known to have just brought weapons to the Iranian or Lebanese Hezbollah militia. Even so, the Israeli military spokesman has not commented on the foreign report.

A separate statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was still working to prevent the enemy, so his country armed itself with sophisticated weapons.

"Our red line is as sharp as before and our determination to target it is stronger than before," Netanyahu said as quoted by Haaretz page on Sunday (9/16).

In early September, Syrian state media reported Israeli jets attacking military targets in the northwest Syrian city of Hama with a target of Iranian positions there.

In the previous month, in August, Syrian chemical weapons development scientist Aziz Asber was killed with his personal driver when the car he was driving exploded in a city near Masyaf, northwest Syria. State media accused the Israeli attack of Aziz's death.

Several strikes near Masyaf have also been linked to Israel in recent years, including on July 22. In May, Israel said it attacked almost all Iranian military infrastructure in Syria.

The attack targeted Israeli-controlled areas in the broad military exchanges that had existed between the two hostile countries.

Earlier Israel admitted to carrying out airstrikes in Syria aimed at reducing the capacity of Iranian troops and allies, including the Lebanese Shiite group which supports Assad in the country's seven-year civil war.

Senior Israeli officials noted that the Israeli military had attacked more than 200 targets and fired 800 missiles and mortars during the past year and a half.

MH370 Tracked in Google Earth, Search search will begin

The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 debris, which is claimed to have been found with the Google Earth map application by British technology detective Ian Wilson, will be carried out in the Cambodian forest, in October.

Reporting from Sputniknews, September 17, 2018, Wilson was convinced of his findings, that the MH370 plane crashed in the western mountainous region of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh which had collaborated with a Cambodian helicopter tenant to fly it to the location.



Wilson explained that the Cambodian helicopter company that has the expertise to enter a terrain that is really difficult will work together to find a destination with existing coordinates.

"The company can really take me to that location for US $ 4,000," said Wilson.

The head of the Cambodian helicopter company, said in a state of dense and untouched tropical rainforest, Wilson would have experienced guides to begin his search.



"We will fly it about three miles away (4.8 kilometers) from the specified coordinate points. We can drop or land anywhere, but the risk of getting lost will likely be in the forest and tall trees," quoted from Sputniknews.

Not Answering the Telephone from the President, Six Sri Lankan Diplomats Repatriated

The Sri Lankan government recalled its ambassador in Austria along with five other embassy staff, after they failed to answer the president's call.

Sri Lanka's Ambassador to Austria, Priyanee Wijesekera was recalled to his country after he did not answer when contacted by President Maithripala Sirisena last week.

"The ambassador did not answer when he was called by President Sirisena for several hours," an official source told AFP on Saturday (9/15/2018).

However, there are no pressing issues about what the president wants to discuss with the ambassador so that he calls directly and not through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ministry also confirmed the news of the summoning of the ambassador and a number of embassy staff, but still gave no reason.

The Sri Lankan embassy in Austria is also accredited with UN agencies in Vienna, as are the embassies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Previously reported, President Sirisena was emotional because the beans served for her while riding a plane belonging to a state airline were considered not to be eaten.

The incident was experienced by the president on a flight back from Nepal.

"When my flight back from Kathmandu I was served cashews on Sri Lanka flight. But the beans were not very tasty even a dog would not eat it," he said on Monday (09/09/2018) early last week.

The president's complaint was immediately responded to by the airline which would replace the cashew stock which was served for flights in the business class, as well as replacing the supplier called from Dubai.
