Kremlin, angry at Syria missile strike, says Putin won't meet Tillerson

Posted: 10 Apr 2017 09:31 AM PDT

Kremlin, angry at Syria missile strike, says Putin won't meet TillersonBy Maria Tsvetkova and Andrew Osborn MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Monday that U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will not meet President Vladimir Putin when he visits Moscow on Wednesday, a move that could point to tensions over a U.S. missile attack on a Syrian air base last week. John Kerry, Tillerson's predecessor, often met Putin as well as the Russian foreign minister when he visited Moscow, and Putin granted several audiences to the Texan when he ran oil major Exxon Mobil before taking his current job. Putin even personally awarded Tillerson a top Russian state award -- the Order of Friendship -- in 2013, and it was widely expected that the former oilman would meet Putin on what is his first trip to Russia as secretary of state.

Pope decries war, terrorism and weapons as he condemns Egypt blast

Posted: 09 Apr 2017 11:21 AM PDT

Pope decries war, terrorism and weapons as he condemns Egypt blastBy Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis condemned a deadly blast at a church in Egypt and said at a Palm Sunday Mass that the world was suffering from wars, terrorism and "interests that are armed and ready to strike". Francis, who has not made any direct public comment on the current Middle East crisis, said the Mass as international tensions increased following the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian air base, which the Pentagon says was involved in a chemical weapons attack that killed 87 people. While the pope, who is due to visit Egypt April 28-29, was celebrating the Mass for tens of thousands of people, the Vatican received word of the blast that killed at least 21 people and injured 50 in a Coptic church in the Nile Delta.

Galaxy S8 vs. iPhone 7 Plus speed test: It’s not even close

Posted: 10 Apr 2017 06:16 AM PDT

Galaxy S8 vs. iPhone 7 Plus speed test: It's not even close

Last week we showed you one of the first real world speed test videos to pit the new Galaxy S8 against the reigning speed champion, Apple's iPhone 7 Plus. Unfortunately, we also explained why it was one of the worst speed test videos we had ever seen. None of these YouTube speed test videos are scientific, of course, but some tests are far more controlled than others. In this particular test, the narrator just tapped a bunch of apps and tried to eyeball which one opened faster each time.

We were still waiting for some of the more experienced YouTube gadget vloggers to share their speed test results, and now we have a much better test to share. And to be quite frank, the results are shocking.

Each year when new flagship Android phones are released, tech fans scratch their heads as they fail to best Apple's iPhones. On paper, iPhones have much less impressive specs, and yet Apple always manages to deliver the smoothest possible user experience time and time again.

This year, Samsung's new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ completely crush Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in terms of multi-core benchmark tests, though they still lagged behind Apple in single-core tests. In theory, that should mean Samsung's new phones might be slower than iPhones at simple tasks, but the new Galaxy S8 phones should be clear leaders when it comes to heavy lifting like launching games and rendering 4K video. According to the results of a new real world speed test from YouTuber EverythingApplePro, that's not the case at all.

The speed test video below shows the Galaxy S8 pitted against the iPhone 7 Plus in a number of different ways. While the competition is close at times, it's not close at all in the long run. The most interesting parts of the video show that Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is much faster than the Galaxy S8 when it comes to things like rendering 4K video and launching graphics-heavy games. Anyone who had seen earlier multi-core benchmark tests would certainly have expected the opposite to be the case.

Check out the full video, which is embedded below.

9-year-old girl seeks clean air for her generation, sues Indian government over pollution

Posted: 09 Apr 2017 07:40 AM PDT

9-year-old girl seeks clean air for her generation, sues Indian government over pollutionRidhima Pandey is living proof that no one's too young to fight climate change. The nine-year-old girl recently filed a legal case against the Indian government for failing to curb greenhouse gas emissions from factories, vehicles, and agriculture. The petition accuses officials of neglecting their duty to protect Indians young and old from environmental harm. "My government has failed to take steps to regulate and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are causing extreme climate conditions," Pandey said in a recent statement. "This will impact both me and future generations." SEE ALSO: Trump really doesn't want to face these 21 kids on climate change Pandey filed her petition with India's National Green Tribunal, a specialized court that handles environment-related cases. Her lawsuit targets the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Climate, as well as the Central Pollution Control Board of India. A woman stacks coal into a basket as she and others work to scavenge coal from an open-cast coal mine in Jharia, India.Image: Daniel Berehulak/Getty ImagesLate last week, the tribunal asked both agencies to respond to Pandey's petition within two weeks. A spokesman for the Ministry of Environment, Forestry, and Climate told the Thomson Reuters Foundation that they would respond as directed by the tribunal.  The nine-year-old's lawsuit bears similarities to a youth-led legal effort in the United States.  A group of 21 young people, ages 9 to 20, has accused the U.S. government and energy companies of violating the children's "constitutional rights to life, liberty, and property" by failing on global warming. Pandey's petition is more "evidence of a global movement of youth rising up and taking their governments to court to seek protection of their fundamental rights to a stable climate system and demand science-based climate action," Julia Olson, lead counsel in the U.S. climate lawsuit and executive director of Our Children's Trust, said in an earlier statement. The Indian flag flies on smog-enshrouded Red Fort in Delhi, India.Image: Allison joyce/Getty ImagesIndia, a nation of 1.25 billion people, is already suffering the effects of a warming climate. In recent decades, a decline in monsoon rainfalls and a rise in extreme heat waves has resulted in severe droughts, lower agricultural yields, and reduced access to fresh water. Sea level rise, melting Himalayan glaciers, and extreme rains are causing dangerous floods. "As a young person [Pandey] is part of a class that amongst all Indians is most vulnerable to changes in climate, yet are not part of the decision-making process," according to the 52-page petition.  Pandey, the daughter of an environmental activist, isn't the first young person to defend India's environment through legal channels. Last year, six Indian teenagers filed a separate lawsuit over air pollution in New Delhi, India's capital city, which has the worst air quality in the country. LUCF refers to emissions stemming from land-use change and forestry.Image: World Resources InstituteIndia is home to four of the world's 10 worst-ranked cities for air pollution. It's also the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, after China and the United States, although India's emissions represent only about 6 percent of the global total. In her filing, Pandey asks the tribunal to order the government to prepare a carbon budget and a national climate recovery plan. "Children in India are now aware about the issues of climate change and its impact," her attorney Rahul Choudary said in a statement. He added that Pandey "is simply asking her government to fulfill its own duty to protect the vital natural resources on which she and future generations depend on for survival."  WATCH: These artists are painting with ink made from air pollution
