| Nokia scores exclusive 5G deal with Taiwan Mobile - ZDNet Posted: 29 Jun 2020 10:44 PM PDT  Nokia has picked up an exclusive €400 million deal with Taiwan Mobile (TWM) that will see Taiwan's second-largest mobile operator use its 5G radios, core, and IP multimedia subsystem. It is planned that Taiwan Mobile's network will shift from non-standalone operations to standalone 5G in three years. The telco will also be using Nokia cloud and security software. "Nokia is a longstanding partner of TWM and has previously provided its 2G, 3G, and 4G mobile networks. Nokia has made several key contributions to TWM's 5G development including a demonstration of a 5G network with extended coverage at the Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium in New Taipei City," Nokia said in a statement. "They claimed 60MHz in the 3.5GHz band and 200MHz in the 28GHz band in the country's spectrum auction in January." In March, Nokia picked up a piece of the 5G radio network for Taiwan Mobile's biggest rival, Chunghwa Telecom. Chunghwa said Ericsson equipment would be used in its 5G network core, as well as supply radio kit for the 3.5GHz and 28GHz spectrum bands. Nokia said it will be responsible for 5G radio deployment in central and southern Taiwan. Ericsson said it has been working with Chunghwa Telecom on 5G since 2017, while Nokia boasted it has been working with the telco since 1973. The combination of Ericsson and Nokia has been used by many telcos in the Asia-Pacific. In May 2019, Japanese telco SoftBank said it would use the telco equipment pair, compatriot KDDI went in the same direction, and Singtel-owned Australian telco Optus uses both Ericsson and Nokia for its 5G network. Elsewhere in Asia, Huawei last week said it had set loose an unmanned vehicle at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital to trial the contactless delivery of medical supplies. Once complete, the Thailand National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Communication will evaluate the trial before looking at its use in other scenarios and at different hospitals, Huawei said.

| Linda Cristal Dead: Actress on 'The High Chaparral' Was 89 - Hollywood Reporter Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:48 PM PDT  The Buenos Aires-born star also appeared on the big screen in 'The Alamo,' 'Two Rode Together' and 'Mr. Majestyk.'Linda Cristal, the Golden Globe-winning actress who portrayed Victoria Cannon, the wife of Leif Erickson's character, on the 1967-71 NBC Western The High Chaparral, has died. She was 89. Cristal died Saturday at her home in Beverly Hills, her son Jordan Wexler told The New York Times. On the big screen, Cristal appeared with Jock Mahoney in The Last of the Fast Guns (1958), with John Wayne in The Alamo (1960), with James Stewart in John Ford's Two Rode Together (1961) and with Charles Bronson in Mr. Majestyk (1974). In 1959, she won her first Golden Globe — as most promising newcomer (female) — for her turn as an Argentine beauty who takes a trip to Paris with Tony Curtis' character in the comedy The Perfect Furlough (1958), directed by Blake Edwards. According to her 2019 memoir, A Life Unexpected, Cristal read about a new series being shot called The High Chaparral one morning in The Hollywood Reporter and barged into a meeting of studio execs led by David Dortort, creator of the show (as well as Bonanza). She went on to appear on 96 episodes of The High Chaparral as the strong-willed daughter of a powerful Mexican rancher and young wife of Erickson's "Big John" Cannon. She was nominated for two Globes, winning in 1970, and two Emmys, for her performance. Marta Victoria Moya was born in Buenos Aires on Feb. 23, 1931, and raised in Uruguay. When she was 13, her parents died of carbon monoxide poisoning while in their car. She appeared in several Mexican films before working alongside Dana Andrews in Comanche (1956). Her résumé also included the films The Fiend Who Walked the West (1958) and Panic in the City (1968), a run on the soap opera General Hospital and guest-starring stints on such TV shows as Rawhide, Bonanza, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Barnaby Jones and Fantasy Island. She was married to industrialist Robert W. Champion, half-brother of dancer Gower Champion, from 1958-59 and to actor Yale Wexler, with whom she had sons Gregory and Jordan, from 1960-66.

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:47 PM PDT  A white couple that was seen in viral footage over the weekend pointing guns at protesters outside their home in St. Louis said on Monday that they were afraid for their lives. Mark and Patricia McCloskey told local CBS affiliate KMOV in an interview published late Monday that they pointed their guns at protesters outside their residence on Sunday because they were "in fear for our lives." Protesters had been walking by their home in Portland Place, which the local outlet reports is a gated community, on Sunday night while on the way to the home of Mayor Lyda Krewson (D). The group of several hundred protesters had reportedly been calling on Krewson to resign after she recently read aloud activists' personal information on a livestream. ADVERTISEMENT "It was like the storming of the Bastille, the gate came down and a large crowd of angry, aggressive people poured through. I was terrified that we'd be murdered within seconds. Our house would be burned down, our pets would be killed," Mark McCloskey told the station. He also shared a picture with the station of a gate to the community that had been broken. However, the paper noted it has not been confirmed whether the gate was damaged by the protesters. "A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear for our lives," he told the station while claiming to have received a death threat from one protester. However, Rasheen Aldridge, who had reportedly been one of the leaders of the protest, disputed the couple's claims and said the protest remained peaceful in nature despite the McCloskeys drawing guns on the demonstrators.
In a statement to KMOV, an attorney representing the McCloskeys, Albert Watkins, defended the their actions and said they were not "race related," adding, "In fact, the agitators responsible for the trepidation were white." "The Black Lives Matters movement is here to stay, it is the right message, and it is about time," Watkins continued in the statement. "The McCloskeys want to make sure no one thinks less of BLM, its message and the means it is employing to get its message out because of the actions of a few white individuals who tarnished a peaceful protest." He reportedly added that the McCloskeys "are lawyers whose professional careers have punctuated by their long standing commitment to protecting the civil rights of clients victimized at the hands of law enforcement. This commitment of time and resources to this cause continues today in the Isaiah Forman case."

| 大快活集團基層得嚟夠穩陣租金貴助贏小型茶餐廳價錢合理可入手作長線投資｜龔成 | 投資 - 經濟一週 Posted: 29 Jun 2020 09:38 PM PDT desimpul.blogspot.com 大快活集團（0052）主要經營快餐店業務及物業投資，以「大快活」品牌經營的連鎖快餐店則是最核心業務。此外，集團亦有以其他品牌經營不同檔次食肆。首間大快活快餐店1972年於荃灣開業，其後1981年成立中央食品加工中心。集團業務以香港為主，現亦有向中國內地擴展。 撰文：龔成 ｜ 圖片：龔成、大快活網頁 大快活集團公司資料大快活集團有限公司 FAIRWOOD HOLDINGS LTD.
大快活集團5年業績
賺錢不一定要高檔快餐店容易給人低檔、不起眼感覺，卻不代表沒有投資價值。無論產品檔次定位、價格高低，都有機會成就到一間值得投資的公司。大快活集團所經營的快餐店業務雖看似平平無奇，但原來生意穩定、盈利穩步上升，加上股本回報率頗高，有一定投資價值。 快餐店在香港已出現幾十年，早已度過高速增長時段。若回顧近10年快餐店發展，只能以「平穩」來形容，不算起眼。不過，若細看大快活股價，以十數年計，亦有10倍升幅。當然，往後只能平穩增長，但不是沒有投資價值。集團現時大部分收入來自香港，於本地有過百間分店。中國部分暫時做得一般，2014及2015年度曾出現虧損，近年才略有盈利，但所佔比率不算多。因此，雖然大快活有發展中國業務，但暫時不能有太大期望。 不起眼的優勢 憑著其穩定業務，大快活營業額保持平穩增長，但增長幅度不大。由於大快活絕大部分收益來自香港快餐業務，增長速度緩慢反映香港快餐市場基本已飽和，不過大快活以連鎖式經營始終有優勢。 大快活毛利亦能平穩上升，保持每年增長。毛利率大致保持於14%左右，表現穩定，反映在行業各成本都上升的情況下，仍能將部分成本轉嫁給消費者。盈利亦保持增長（2014年度因固定資產減值虧損而出現倒退），每年有一定增幅，然而增幅並不大。 ROE方面，多年都超過20%，可謂相當理想，反映其滾存資金再投資回報率不俗。不過，派息比率超過一半，在收息角度雖然吸引，但亦反映發展空間已是有限。 行業汰弱留強雖然行業情況已很成熟，但是香港環境仍能令大型快餐店往後有平穩增長。即是說，行業汰弱留強，能令快餐店在此環境中，漸漸增加市場佔有率。 香港舖租長期上升，面對如此環境，小型茶餐廳將愈來愈難經營。相反，由於大型快餐店有較大議價能力和資源配合等，故在租金上升的環境下比小型茶餐廳更具優勢。由於兩種商鋪是相類近的選擇，內裡卻存在一定差別成本因素，故盈利會有明顯分別。 另一方面，食材成本持續上升，加上最低工資因素。種種原因都與租金道理相同，令小型茶餐廳愈來愈難生存。反之，大型快餐店成本控制做得較好，優勢變得更大，最終慢慢蠶食市場。 同一筆資金，假設用作開茶餐廳可能只有5%回報，大型快餐店卻能取得20%回報。而長遠市場發展結果，就是小型茶餐廳將愈來愈少。就如士多與超市，當一方模式結構性不利，而另一方模式成功，就會出現強者愈強的情況。面對如此經營環境，飲食行業中茶餐廳市場愈來愈細，變成由快餐店取而代之，另一較有競爭力的，就是中高檔及特色食肆。 不過，近年人工上升幅度增大，飲食業亦面對此方面壓力，略略影響大快活的賺錢能力，投資者要注意。 投資策略綜合而言，快餐店在香港增長雖然有限，但仍可平穩地慢慢增長。 雖然大快活品牌並不高檔，但為人熟悉及定位明確，因此能保持穩定市場。集團價格自主能力算是中性，賺錢能力穩定，算是不過不失。 如果要選飲食股，大快活這類會比潮流品牌更有投資價值。香港人貪新鮮，潮流品牌短時間內表現可能不錯、生意很好，但業務其後就有機會萎縮，風險較高。相反，大快活這類較基層飲食集團，生意比較穩定。雖也會受經濟週期影響，但負面結果較少，因此投資價值反而更大。 不過整體飲食業競爭大，加上中短期仍面對不利環境，目前只能給予中性評級。雖然大快活市值不算高，但也是質素不差的優質股。另外，此股雖有投資價值，但由於業務不會快速增長，若市盈率處於較高水平、現價合理，則可入手。不過中短期仍會較弱，適合長線投資。獲利主力是收息及平穩增長。 （本人為證券業持牌人士，未持有上述股票） 延伸閱讀：銀河娛樂財務穩健、博彩業務穩賺不賠 無懼疫情前途一片光明 宜趁低位入市｜龔成 延伸閱讀：從打牌學投資！股票新手可學麻雀3大要點 如何才能「做大牌」長線釣大魚？｜龔成 免責聲明：本專頁刊載的所有投資分析技巧，只可作參考用途。市場瞬息萬變，讀者在作出投資決定前理應審慎，並主動掌握市場最新狀況。若不幸招致任何損失，概與本刊及相關作者無關。而本集團旗下網站或社交平台的網誌內容及觀點，僅屬筆者個人意見，與新傳媒立場無關。本集團旗下網站對因上述人士張貼之資訊內容所帶來之損失或損害概不負責。 June 29, 2020 at 06:30PM https://ift.tt/2VuI5Fm 大快活集團基層得嚟夠穩陣租金貴助贏小型茶餐廳價錢合理可入手作長線投資｜龔成 | 投資 - 經濟一週 https://ift.tt/2YHFets  |

| Polar Park building toward 2021 goal for Worcester Red Sox - The Boston Globe Posted: 29 Jun 2020 08:42 PM PDT  WORCESTER — Polar Park is taking shape in downtown Worcester in a fashion. The progress has both team and city officials hopeful about the possible completion of the ballpark for the Worcester Red Sox' inaugural season as the Triple A affiliate of the Red Sox. Ballpark designer Janet Marie Smith, who led a media tour of the project Monday, estimated that construction work is 40-50 percent complete. That progress in turn opens the possibility that despite the seven-week construction shutdown from April to mid-May due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ballpark still could be completed in time for the start of the 2021 minor league season. Advertisement "Our goal is to be finished," said Smith. "We're optimistic. Until we have a new plan, that's our plan." A number of ballpark elements were on display Monday. Dugouts, an infield grandstand, and the Worcester Wall — a 22-foot-high right field fence that evokes (but does not replicate) Fenway's famed left field wall — were a few of the signature element that have now taken form. Though rain muddied the site, the field's layout was also on display. "Less than a year ago, this was a big parking lot with a road through it," said city manager Edward Augustus Jr., reflecting that the site's groundbreaking had occurred last July 11. "You can see the progress that's been made. It's pretty amazing. Even with the COVID timeout that we had, amazing progress has been made . . . Right now, we're still working on that beginning of April goal." Several aspects of the design have been set, while others are gaining definition. "The stage that we're at now, the bones of this are set, the structure is set, the profile of the seats, the scoreboard, the big-picture things," said Smith. "But we're working very closely with the team and our designers to give it the jewelry and the gold dust that makes the place special." Advertisement The park is nestled into Worcester's Canal District — a challenging undertaking given the sloping streets and varying elevations. But the site's location will thus yield a wide variety of vantage points from which to view the game and to several surrounding landmarks. "It's amazing how nestled in this ballpark is," said Augustus. "It's not some spaceship that landed on the edge of the city. It's something that's kind of part of the fabric of the city. That was a very intentional thing." When completed, the ballpark with have what team officials are calling "occupancy" of up to 10,000 spectators. There will be fewer than 10,000 traditional seats, but the team envisions additional entrants who can watch the game from picnic areas, on a berm, in suites, or from other spaces inside the park. The Triple A affiliate announced plans to move from its longtime home in Pawtucket to Worcester in August 2018, with an eye on moving into a new ballpark for the 2021 season. The construction shutdown of April 1 raised questions about the feasibility of that goal. But while there is no guarantee that the project can be completed for the start of next season, the possibility remains given the progress that has occurred. Augustus noted that although COVID-19 construction protocols might add to the cost of a project that was estimated in January at $99.4 million, such increases are expected to be relatively minor. City officials saw Monday as evidence that their years-long efforts to introduce the Worcester Red Sox may become a reality in just over nine months. Advertisement "It's coming together," said Worcester mayor Joe Petty. "People are looking forward to the day this opens up. I think it's important for the psyche of Worcester to continue this project, and I think people will be happy when it's done." Alex Speier can be reached at alex.speier@globe.com.

| Actress Phoebe Tonkin Is Dating Brie Larson's Ex-Fiancé Alex Greenwald - E! NEWS Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:48 PM PDT  Phoebe Tonkin has a new man in her life. For the past two years, The Originals star has been flying solo. But now, it seems those days of single-dom are behind the Australian beauty. On Monday, the actress made things Instagram official with Phantom Planet's lead singer Alex Greenwald. In the picture, the two celebs smooched while wearing masks, as one does in the time of the coronavirus. "Wear your mask," she captioned her first photo with the indie singer. It seems like Phoebe and Alex started dating earlier this year. Greenwald shared a photo of his new boo on Instagram on April 4, but his caption might've been considered promotion for his band's new merch rather than a declaration of love. "The new @phantomplanet shirt comes with the girl. Please, please buy a shirt, it's been 21 days. I need her out of my house," he captioned the photo of Phoebe wearing just a t-shirt.

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:47 PM PDT  Now-viral video shows the moment a family boating on a Wisconsin lake saved a black bear swimming with its head trapped in plastic. The scene unfolded on Marshmiller Lake, just north of Eau Claire, as Tricia, Brian and Bradley Hurt came across what they believe was a baby black bear with its head stuck in a plastic tub. "Never dreamt we would ever do this in our life time. Out on Marshmiller Lake yesterday with Brian Hurt and Brady Hurt when we spotted this poor bear," Tricia Hurt wrote on Facebook. Tricia Hurt recorded footage of the rescue as Brady Hurt steered the boat and Brian Hurt repeatedly pulled the plastic to remove it from the bear's head. With their first attempt unsuccessful, the family circled back around for a second try to get the plastic off. "Just don't want him crawling in here once you get it off," Tricia Hurt can be heard saying in the video. A couple tugs later and the bear was free from the plastic. "We saved our little bear," Tricia Hurt says in the video. She later reported the bear made it safely to shore after the ordeal. According to Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, the state is home "to a thriving black bear population estimated at more than 24,000 bears." "The black bear's primary range is located in the far northern third of the state. Due to a growing population, bears are becoming much more common in the lower two-thirds of the state than ever before," the department's website reads.

| US bars defense exports to Hong Kong, says new rules coming - KSAT San Antonio Posted: 29 Jun 2020 07:08 PM PDT :strip_exif(true):strip_icc(true):no_upscale(true):quality(65)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/gmg/3IBXLCYLQFH7JMALAZJNLO26NA.jpg) WASHINGTON – The Trump administration said Monday it will bar defense exports to Hong Kong and will soon require licenses for the sale of items to Hong Kong that have both civilian and military uses. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the step as China moved ahead with imposing a new national security law for Hong Kong that many fear Beijng and the Chinese Communist Party will use to clamp down on dissent in the former British territory. The administration has warned for weeks that it would take action to end special U.S. trade and commercial preferences Hong Kong had enjoyed since reverting to Chinese rule in 1997. Among those perks was the ability for Hong Kong to import U.S. defense equipment that China is not allowed to. Hong Kong was also able to import dual-use American items without getting licenses required for the same sales to mainland China. "The United States is forced to take this action to protect U.S. national security," Pompeo said in a statement. "We can no longer distinguish between the export of controlled items to Hong Kong or to mainland China. We cannot risk these items falling into the hands of the People's Liberation Army, whose primary purpose is to uphold the dictatorship of the CCP by any means necessary." "It gives us no pleasure to take this action, which is a direct consequence of Beijing's decision to violate its own commitments under the U.N.-registered Sino-British Joint Declaration," he said. "Our actions target the regime, not the Chinese people. But given Beijing now treats Hong Kong as 'One Country, One System,' so must we." The Sino-British Declaration promised that Hong Kong would retain its democracy and democratic rights for at least 50 years after 1997 under what Beijing called the "One Country, Two Systems" policy. Pompeo said the U.S. would continue to review other preferences Hong Kong has enjoyed and "will take additional measures to reflect the reality on the ground in Hong Kong." On Friday, the State Department announced it would bar officials responsible for human rights abuses in Hong Kong from entering the United States. China on Monday said it would retaliate by imposing visa restrictions on Americans it considers to have "performed badly" on matters regarding Hong Kong. China's legislature is expected to pass a national security law for Hong Kong on Tuesday that critics say will severely limit opposition politics and freedom of speech in the city.

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:48 PM PDT Linda Cristal, the fiery and humble Argentine-born actress who became a star and pioneer for minority and women performers after fleeing to the U.S. as a child, has died. She was 89. Cristal's son, Jordan Wexler, confirmed the screen and stage actress' death to Fox News on Monday, saying that Cristal went peacefully in her sleep at her home in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday and describing his mother as "unlike anybody could have imagined." Cristal began her life "from utter poverty" in tenement housing in Argentina, Wexler told us as he highlighted her storied life and career.

"She was so poor, in fact, that her brother died in front of her because they didn't have money to give him medicine." Wexler said Cristal stowed away on a ship in order to find a better life for herself and when she made it to Hollywood, she was recognized by John Wayne, who would tell allegedly tell her, "You're going to be in my next movie."

"Anybody who knows her would say she's amazing because she treated everybody with respect," Wexler continued. "It doesn't matter who they were, it didn't matter what level or what religion or culture, education – she didn't care. Everybody got the utmost respect. And she was so humble." The proud son said he and his brother Gregory were "lucky to have her" and said Cristal "sacrificed everything" to provide her sons better lives than she endured.

She wasn't a spender, she invested wisely," said Wexler. "You know, you've got to remember – she went from nothing and her parents died so young that she only made a fifth-grade education, but she spoke five languages." Cristal's language skills were no match for her determination, according to Wexler, who explained how his mother initially didn't speak English, and instead, resorted to listening to her lines and repeating them to act out scenes.

"I said, you realize you've changed the lives of millions of people," Wexler said. "And she said, 'What do you mean?'

| Posted: 29 Jun 2020 06:08 PM PDT The calls caused former top Trump deputies -- including national security advisers H.R. McMaster and John Bolton, Defense Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and White House chief of staff John Kelly, as well as intelligence officials -- to conclude that the President was often "delusional," as two sources put it, in his dealings with foreign leaders. The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time. Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest.  These officials' concerns about the calls, and particularly Trump's deference to Putin, take on new resonance with reports the President may have learned in March that Russia had offered the Taliban bounties to kill US troops in Afghanistan -- and yet took no action. CNN's sources said there were calls between Putin and Trump about Trump's desire to end the American military presence in Afghanistan but they mentioned no discussion of the supposed Taliban bounties. By far the greatest number of Trump's telephone discussions with an individual head of state were with Erdogan, who sometimes phoned the White House at least twice a week and was put through directly to the President on standing orders from Trump, according to the sources. Meanwhile, the President regularly bullied and demeaned the leaders of America's principal allies, especially two women: telling Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom she was weak and lacked courage; and telling German Chancellor Angela Merkel that she was "stupid." Trump incessantly boasted to his fellow heads of state, including Saudi Arabia's autocratic royal heir Mohammed bin Salman and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, about his own wealth, genius, "great" accomplishments as President, and the "idiocy" of his Oval Office predecessors, according to the sources. In his conversations with both Putin and Erdogan, Trump took special delight in trashing former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and suggested that dealing directly with him -- Trump -- would be far more fruitful than during previous administrations. "They didn't know BS," he said of Bush and Obama -- one of several derisive tropes the sources said he favored when discussing his predecessors with the Turkish and Russian leaders.  The full, detailed picture drawn by CNN's sources of Trump's phone calls with foreign leaders is consistent with the basic tenor and some substantive elements of a limited number of calls described by former national security adviser John Bolton in his book, "The Room Where It Happened." But the calls described to CNN cover a far longer period than Bolton's tenure, are much more comprehensive — and seemingly more damning -- in their sweep. Like Bolton, CNN's sources said that the President seemed to continually conflate his own personal interests -- especially for purposes of re-election and revenge against perceived critics and political enemies -- with the national interest. To protect the anonymity of those describing the calls for this report, CNN will not reveal their job titles nor quote them at length directly. More than a dozen officials either listened to the President's phone calls in real time or were provided detailed summaries and rough-text recording printouts of the calls soon after their completion, CNN's sources said. The sources were interviewed by CNN repeatedly over a four-month period extending into June. The sources did cite some instances in which they said Trump acted responsibly and in the national interest during telephone discussions with some foreign leaders. CNN reached out to Kelly, McMaster and Tillerson for comment and received no response as of Monday afternoon. Mattis did not comment.  The White House did not respond to a request for comment before this story published. After publication, White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews said, "President Trump is a world class negotiator who has consistently furthered America's interests on the world stage. From negotiating the phase one China deal and the USMCA to NATO allies contributing more and defeating ISIS, President Trump has shown his ability to advance America's strategic interests." One person familiar with almost all the conversations with the leaders of Russia, Turkey, Canada, Australia and western Europe described the calls cumulatively as 'abominations' so grievous to US national security interests that if members of Congress heard from witnesses to the actual conversations or read the texts and contemporaneous notes, even many senior Republican members would no longer be able to retain confidence in the President. Attacking key ally leaders -- especially womenThe insidious effect of the conversations comes from Trump's tone, his raging outbursts at allies while fawning over authoritarian strongmen, his ignorance of history and lack of preparation as much as it does from the troubling substance, according to the sources. While in office, then- Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats expressed worry to subordinates that Trump's telephone discussions were undermining the coherent conduct of foreign relations and American objectives around the globe, one of CNN's sources said. And in recent weeks, former chief of staff Kelly has mentioned the damaging impact of the President's calls on US national security to several individuals in private. Two sources compared many of the President's conversations with foreign leaders to Trump's recent press "briefings" on the coronavirus pandemic: free form, fact-deficient stream-of-consciousness ramblings, full of fantasy and off-the-wall pronouncements based on his intuitions, guesswork, the opinions of Fox News TV hosts and social media misinformation. In addition to Merkel and May, the sources said, Trump regularly bullied and disparaged other leaders of the western alliance during his phone conversations -- including French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison -- in the same hostile and aggressive way he discussed the coronavirus with some of America's governors.  Next to Erdogan, no foreign leader initiated more calls with Trump than Macron, the sources said, with the French President often trying to convince Trump to change course on environmental and security policy matters -- including climate change and US withdrawal from the Iranian multilateral nuclear accord. Macron usually got "nowhere" on substantive matters, while Trump became irritated at the French President's stream of requests and subjected him to self-serving harangues and lectures that were described by one source as personalized verbal "whippings," especially about France and other countries not meeting NATO spending targets, their liberal immigration policies or their trade imbalances with the US. But his most vicious attacks, said the sources, were aimed at women heads of state. In conversations with both May and Merkel, the President demeaned and denigrated them in diatribes described as "near-sadistic" by one of the sources and confirmed by others. "Some of the things he said to Angela Merkel are just unbelievable: he called her 'stupid,' and accused her of being in the pocket of the Russians ... He's toughest [in the phone calls] with those he looks at as weaklings and weakest with the ones he ought to be tough with." The calls "are so unusual," confirmed a German official, that special measures were taken in Berlin to ensure that their contents remained secret. The official described Trump's behavior with Merkel in the calls as "very aggressive" and said that the circle of German officials involved in monitoring Merkel's calls with Trump has shrunk: "It's just a small circle of people who are involved and the reason, the main reason, is that they are indeed problematic."  Trump's conversations with May, the UK Prime Minister from 2016 to 2019, were described as "humiliating and bullying," with Trump attacking her as "a fool" and spineless in her approach to Brexit, NATO and immigration matters. "He'd get agitated about something with Theresa May, then he'd get nasty with her on the phone call," One source said. "It's the same interaction in every setting -- coronavirus or Brexit -- with just no filter applied." Merkel remained calm and outwardly unruffled in the face of Trump's attacks —"like water off a duck's back," in the words of one source -- and she regularly countered his bluster with recitations of fact. The German official quoted above said that during Merkel's visit to the White House two years ago, Trump displayed "very questionable behavior" that "was quite aggressive ... [T]he Chancellor indeed stayed calm, and that's what she does on the phone." Prime Minister May, in contrast, became "flustered and nervous" in her conversations with the President. "He clearly intimidated her and meant to," said one of CNN's sources. In response to a request for comment about Trump's behavior in calls with May, the UK's Downing Street referred CNN to its website. The site lists brief descriptions of the content of some calls and avoids any mention of tone or tension. The French embassy in Washington declined to comment, while the Russian and Turkish embassies did not respond to requests for comment. Concerns over calls with Putin and ErdoganThe calls with Putin and Erdogan were particularly egregious in terms of Trump almost never being prepared substantively and thus leaving him susceptible to being taken advantage of in various ways, according to the sources -- in part because those conversations (as with most heads of state), were almost certainly recorded by the security services and other agencies of their countries. In his phone exchanges with Putin, the sources reported, the President talked mostly about himself, frequently in over-the-top, self-aggrandizing terms: touting his "unprecedented" success in building the US economy; asserting in derisive language how much smarter and "stronger" he is than "the imbeciles" and "weaklings" who came before him in the presidency (especially Obama); reveling in his experience running the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, and obsequiously courting Putin's admiration and approval. Putin "just outplays" him, said a high-level administration official -- comparing the Russian leader to a chess grandmaster and Trump to an occasional player of checkers. While Putin "destabilizes the West," said this source, the President of the United States "sits there and thinks he can build himself up enough as a businessman and tough guy that Putin will respect him." (At times, the Putin-Trump conversations sounded like "two guys in a steam bath," a source added.)  In numerous calls with Putin that were described to CNN, Trump left top national security aides and his chiefs of staff flabbergasted, less because of specific concessions he made than because of his manner -- inordinately solicitous of Putin's admiration and seemingly seeking his approval -- while usually ignoring substantive policy expertise and important matters on the standing bilateral agenda, including human rights; and an arms control agreement, which never got dealt with in a way that advanced shared Russian and American goals that both Putin and Trump professed to favor, CNN's sources said. Throughout his presidency, Trump has touted the theme of "America First" as his north star in foreign policy, advancing the view that America's allies and adversaries have taken economic advantage of US goodwill in trade. And that America's closest allies need to increase their share of collective defense spending. He frequently justifies his seeming deference to Putin by arguing that Russia is a major world player and that it is in the United States' interest to have a constructive and friendly relationship -- requiring a reset with Moscow through his personal dialogue with Putin.  In separate interviews, two high-level administration officials familiar with most of the Trump-Putin calls said the President naively elevated Russia -- a second-rate totalitarian state with less than 4% of the world's GDP -- and its authoritarian leader almost to parity with the United States and its President by undermining the tougher, more realistic view of Russia expressed by the US Congress, American intelligence agencies and the long-standing post-war policy consensus of the US and its European allies. "He [Trump] gives away the advantage that was hard won in the Cold War," said one of the officials -- in part by "giving Putin and Russia a legitimacy they never had," the official said. "He's given Russia a lifeline -- because there is no doubt that they're a declining power ... He's playing with something he doesn't understand and he's giving them power that they would use [aggressively]." Both officials cited Trump's decision to pull US troops out of Syria -- a move that benefited Turkey as well as Russia -- as perhaps the most grievous example. "He gave away the store," one of them said. The frequency of the calls with Erdogan -- in which the Turkish president continually pressed Trump for policy concessions and other favors -- was especially worrisome to McMaster, Bolton and Kelly, the more so because of the ease with which Erdogan bypassed normal National Security Council protocols and procedures to reach the President, said two of the sources.  Erdogan became so adept at knowing when to reach the President directly that some White House aides became convinced that Turkey's security services in Washington were using Trump's schedule and whereabouts to provide Erdogan with information about when the President would be available for a call. On some occasions Erdogan reached him on the golf course and Trump would delay play while the two spoke at length. Two sources described the President as woefully uninformed about the history of the Syrian conflict and the Middle East generally, and said he was often caught off guard, and lacked sufficient knowledge to engage on equal terms in nuanced policy discussion with Erdogan. "Erdogan took him to the cleaners," said one of the sources. The sources said that deleterious US policy decisions on Syria -- including the President's directive to pull US forces out of the country, which then allowed Turkey to attack Kurds who had helped the US fight ISIS and weakened NATO's role in the conflict -- were directly linked to Erdogan's ability to get his way with Trump on the phone calls.  Trump occasionally became angry at Erdogan -- sometimes because of demands that Turkey be granted preferential trade status, and because the Turkish leader would not release an imprisoned American evangelical pastor, Andrew Brunson, accused of 'aiding terrorism' in the 2016 coup that attempted to overthrow Erdogan. Brunson was eventually released in October 2018. Despite the lack of advance notice for many of Erdogan's calls, full sets of contemporaneous notes from designated notetakers at the White House exist, as well as rough voice-generated computer texts of the conversations, the sources said. According to one high-level source, there are also existing summaries and conversation-readouts of the President's discussions with Erdogan that might reinforce Bolton's allegations against Trump in the so-called "Halkbank case," involving a major Turkish bank with suspected ties to Erdogan and his family. That source said the matter was raised in more than one telephone conversation between Erdogan and Trump. Bolton wrote in his book that in December 2018, at Erdogan's urging, Trump offered to interfere in an investigation by then-US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman into the Turkish bank, which was accused of violating US sanctions on Iran. "Trump then told Erdogan he would take care of things, explaining that the Southern District prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people," Bolton wrote. Berman's office eventually brought an indictment against the bank in October 2019 for fraud, money laundering and other offenses related to participation in a multibillion-dollar scheme to evade the US sanctions on Iran. On June 20, Trump fired Berman -- whose office is also investigating Rudy Giuliani, the President's personal lawyer -- after the prosecutor refused to resign at Attorney General William Barr's direction. Unlike Bolton, CNN's sources did not assert or suggest specifically that Trump's calls with Erdogan might have been grounds for impeachment because of possible evidence of unlawful conduct by the President. Rather, they characterized Trump's calls with heads of state in the aggregate as evidence of Trump's general "unfitness" for the presidency on grounds of temperament and incompetence, an assertion Bolton made as well in an interview to promote his book with ABC News last week: "I don't think he's fit for office. I don't think he has the competence to carry out the job," Bolton said. Family feedback and grievances fuel Trump's approachCNN spoke to sources familiar with the President's phone calls repeatedly over a four-month period. In their interviews, the sources took great care not to disclose specific national security information and classified details -- but rather described the broad contents of many of the calls, and the overall tenor and methodology of Trump's approach to his telephone discussions with foreign leaders. In addition to rough, voice-generated software transcription, almost all of Trump's telephone conversations with Putin, Erdogan and leaders of the western alliance were supplemented and documented by extensive contemporaneous note-taking (and, often, summaries) prepared by Fiona Hill, deputy assistant to the President and senior NSC director for Europe and Russia until her resignation last year. Hill listened to most of the President's calls with Putin, Erdogan and the European leaders, according to her closed-door testimony before the House Intelligence Committee last November. Elements of that testimony by Hill, if re-examined by Congressional investigators, might provide a detailed road-map of the President's extensively-documented conversations, the sources said. White House and intelligence officials familiar with the voice-generated transcriptions and underlying documents agreed that their contents could be devastating to the President's standing with members of the Congress of both parties -- and the public -- if revealed in great detail. (There is little doubt that Trump would invoke executive privilege to keep the conversations private. However, some former officials with detailed knowledge of many of the conversations might be willing to testify about them, sources said.) In one of the earliest calls between Putin and Trump, the President's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were in the room to listen — joining McMaster, Tillerson, Hill, and a State Department aide to Tillerson. "The call was all over the place," said an NSC deputy who read a detailed summary of the conversation -- with Putin speaking substantively and at length, and Trump propping himself up in short autobiographical bursts of bragging, self-congratulation and flattery toward Putin. As described to CNN, Kushner and Ivanka Trump were immediately effusive in their praise of how Trump had handled the call -- while Tillerson (who knew Putin well from his years in Russia as an oil executive), Hill and McMaster were skeptical. Hill — author of a definitive biography of Putin -- started to explain some of the nuances she perceived from the call, according to CNN's sources — offering insight into Putin's psychology, his typical "smooth-talking" and linear approach and what the Russian leader was trying to achieve in the call. Hill was cut off by Trump, and the President continued discussing the call with Jared and Ivanka, making clear he wanted to hear the congratulatory evaluation of his daughter and her husband, rather than how Hill, Tillerson or McMaster judged the conversation. McMaster viewed that early phone call with Putin as indicative of the conduct of the whole relationship between Russia and the Trump administration, according to the sources -- a conclusion subsequent national security advisers and chiefs of staff, and numerous high-ranking intelligence officials also reached: unlike in previous administrations, there were relatively few meaningful dealings between military and diplomatic professionals, even at the highest levels, because Trump -- distrustful of the experts and dismissive of their attempts to brief him -- conducted the relationship largely ad hoc with Putin and almost totally by himself. Ultimately, Putin and the Russians learned that "nobody has the authority to do anything" -- and the Russian leader used that insight to his advantage, as one of CNN's sources said. The Kushners were also present for other important calls with foreign leaders and made their primacy apparent, encouraged by the President even on matters of foreign policy in which his daughter and her husband had no experience. Almost never, according to CNN's sources, would Trump read the briefing materials prepared for him by the CIA and NSC staff in advance of his calls with heads of state. "He won't consult them, he won't even get their wisdom," said one of the sources, who cited Saudi Arabia's bin Salman as near the top of a list of leaders whom Trump "picks up and calls without anybody being prepared," a scenario that frequently confronted NSC and intelligence aides. The source added that the aides' helpless reaction "would frequently be, 'Oh my God, don't make that phone call.'" "Trump's view is that he is a better judge of character than anyone else," said one of CNN's sources. The President consistently rejected advice from US defense, intelligence and national security principals that the Russian president be approached more firmly and with less trust. CNN's sources pointed to the most notable public example as "emblematic": Trump, standing next to the Russian President at their meeting in Helsinki, Finland, in June 2018, and saying he "didn't see any reason why" Russia would have interfered in the 2016 presidential election -- despite the findings of the entire US intelligence community that Moscow had. "President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said. The common, overwhelming dynamic that characterizes Trump's conversations with both authoritarian dictators and leaders of the world's greatest democracies is his consistent assertion of himself as the defining subject and subtext of the calls -- almost never the United States and its historic place and leadership in the world, according to sources intimately familiar with the calls. In numerous calls with the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Australia and Canada -- America's closest allies of the past 75 years, the whole postwar era -- Trump typically established a grievance almost as a default or leitmotif of the conversation, whatever the supposed agenda, according to those sources. "Everything was always personalized, with everybody doing terrible things to rip us off — which meant ripping 'me' — Trump — off. He couldn't -- or wouldn't -- see or focus on the larger picture," said one US official. The source cited a conspicuously demonstrable instance in which Trump resisted asking Angela Merkel (at the UK's urging) to publicly hold Russia accountable for the so-called 'Salisbury' radioactive poisonings of a former Russian spy and his daughter, in which Putin had denied any Russian involvement despite voluminous evidence to the contrary. "It took a lot of effort" to get Trump to bring up the subject, said one source. Instead of addressing Russia's responsibility for the poisonings and holding it to international account, Trump made the focus of the call -- in personally demeaning terms -- Germany's and Merkel's supposedly deadbeat approach to allied burden-sharing. Eventually, said the sources, as urged by his NSC staff, Trump at last addressed the matter of the poisonings, almost grudgingly. "With almost every problem, all it takes [in his phone calls] is someone asking him to do something as President on behalf of the United States and he doesn't see it that way; he goes to being ripped off; he's not interested in cooperative issues or working on them together; instead he's deflecting things or pushing real issues off into a corner," said a US official. "There was no sense of 'Team America' in the conversations," or of the United States as an historic force with certain democratic principles and leadership of the free world, said the official.

| Bosco Wong has 3 rules his girlfriend must follow - The Independent Posted: 29 Jun 2020 05:32 PM PDT Bosco Wong has 3 rules his girlfriend must follow - The Independent - Advertisement - Hong Kong actor and entrepreneur Bosco Wong is thriving in life at the age of 39 due to his successful showbiz career and restaurant business. He is often asked during interviews about his love life – or lack thereof. His last relationship was with Myolie Wu whom he was seeing for eight years before breaking up in 2012. As of now, he is still single. The past few years, Bosco has been rumoured to be seeing Vanessa Yeung. He was also linked to Japanese model Jun. Reports said that Bosco was cheating on Rose Chan with Sophia Zhang. Upon hearing the rumours, Bosco and Sophia insisted that they are just friends/colleagues. Bosco recently shared with the media three golden rules for his future girlfriend. The first one is that she has to accept that Bosco prioritises his friends more. She must not be clingy and needs to know that they both need space. - Advertisement -  The second rule is that she must not question where he goes. Thirdly, she needs to be understanding of his high profile status. She must not get jealous or angry but be understanding as there bound to be rumours. After the interview was published, Bosco faced backlash for his ridiculous criteria. They thought that Bosco was being unreasonable. "Is he looking for a partner or a plaything? Is his girlfriend not allowed to have feelings and she should just wait for him to give her the time of the day?" a netizen asked. One user added, "Good luck getting a girlfriend who genuinely loves you. She might just tolerate your ego for your money." Born on December 13, 1980, Bosco Wong Chung-chak is a Hong Kong actor under TVB management and singer under East Asia Music. He started his showbiz career in 1998. At a young age, Bosco was spotted on the street by a talent-recruiter. He appeared in a lemon tea commercial and several minor modelling jobs. After graduating from high school, Bosco auditioned at TVB in 1999 at the age of 19. During his first few years in TVB, Bosco started off by hosting several TVB programmes and played cameo roles(calafare) in various TVB series. /TISG - Advertisement - 2020-06-29 01:00:00Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMiS2h0dHA6Ly90aGVpbmRlcGVuZGVudC5zZy9ib3Njby13b25nLWhhcy0zLXJ1bGVzLWhpcy1naXJsZnJpZW5kLW11c3QtZm9sbG93L9IBAA?oc=5  |
