Will Breman blew away the coaches on The Voice's live playoffs Monday as the show began to whittle the top 20 singers down to 13. The 25-year-old singer from Santa Barbara, California, did a jazzy, improvisational version of Taylor Swift's Style that was barely recognizable, but impressively unique. 'Will is so electric, his energy onstage is contagious,' his coach, John Legend, 40, said earlier of the young man, with whom he had sung onstage in the blind auditions.

Road death suspect Anne Sacoolas would be on the first flight back to Britain if she had an ounce of decency. The dignity of Harry Dunn’s parents, Charlotte and Tim, shames the spy’s wife. So we hope she treats them with great respect at the anticipated face-to-face meeting in the USA. Sacoolas would get a fair hearing in a British court, so she must return voluntarily – or be sent back by Donald Trump. It would be unconscionable of Sacoolas, her legal team or Trump himself to exploit the meeting with Harry’s parents as a PR exercise, using it as an alternative to appearing in court. And there are still questions about Sacoolas’ status and her departure from Britain.

If she didn’t, the police need to explain why she was allowed to leave, apparently without any legal means to ensure her return.

US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker met at the White House on Wednesday, where they announced that the US and the European Union would work to reduce tensions that have arisen from Trump's confrontational trade policy over the past few months . The meeting comes after weeks of acrimony between the US and EU — which account for 50 percent of global trade — as both sides slapped tariffs on one another. Major points announced In an unexpected press announcement in the Rose Garden, Trump and Juncker laid out the major goals that they had agreed upon in their meeting: The US and the EU would work toward "zero tariffs, zero nontariff barriers, and zero subsidies on nonauto industrial goods," Trump said. The EU would buy significant amounts of liquid natural gas from the US to help diversify the bloc's energy sources, as well as increase its imports of US-grown soybeans. Both sides will hold … [Read more...] about Donald Trump and Jean-Claude Juncker talk trade tariffs

Imagine a cutting-edge industry that's all about pushing boundaries, finding solutions to problems that never existed and "disrupting" absolutely everything we've come to rely on with a cast-iron belief in better-life-through-technology. Now, imagine them just "sitting around a big table with a lot of coffee, and talking about it." It's not exactly an image of action, is it? No matter what the "it" is. And yet that's precisely the way Constantin Constantinides describes the satellite industry today. Constantinides is a radio frequency engineer with a satellite company in Glasgow called Alba Orbital. And the "it" refers to … cyber security. Cyber security is one of the biggest unsolved challenges we have on Earth, and it's about to become a far larger challenge in space. You could say, "Well, at least they are talking about it." At least cyber security is on the new space agenda. And it had certainly better be, because the more satellites we fire up into space, and the more those … [Read more...] about SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet: It’s time for tough talk on cyber security in space

In book publishing, it seems, they still do fairytales. Really not very long ago, Angie Thomas was a secretary to a bishop at a megachurch in Jackson, Mississippi. At nights – and during quiet periods in the day, she furtively admits – she worked on a young adult novel inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. She had previously written a children’s book, but hadn’t had any interest from agents. “Yeah, I had more than 150 rejections for that one,” says Thomas matter-of-factly. Thomas’s break came when she cold-contacted a literary agent who was doing a Twitter Q&A. The story speeds up now: the novel became The Hate U Give (THUG), a YA sensation about a 16-year-old girl called Starr who witnesses her friend Khalil being shot by the police and turns to activism. THUG, published in early 2017, went straight into the bestseller chart in the US and stayed there for a year. It was a hit here too, and named overall winner of the 2018 … [Read more...] about Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give: ‘Books play a huge part in resistance’
