      Obama calls Facebook Live attack ‘despicable,’ but says he’s optimistic about race relations

      In a new interview, President Obama has denounced what he called the “despicable” video on Facebook Live of what appears to be an assault on a mentally challenged white teenager by four young black people in Chicago. Speaking with Chicago’s local CBS affiliate Thursday, the president pointed to the gruesome incident as an example of how technology is helping to draw attention to racial issues that have long existed below the surface. “In part because we see visuals of racial tensions, violence and so forth because of smartphones and the Internet,” Obama told CBS 2’s Jay Levine, in one of five televised interviews he conducted with Chicago news stations.

      Former CIA Director James Woolsey cuts ties with Donald Trump’s transition team amid tensions with intelligence community

      Former Central Intelligence Agency Director James Woolsey distanced himself from President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Thursday evening, a source close to Woolsey told Yahoo News. The move was partially a response to the president-elect’s “attacks” on the intelligence community’s assertion that Russia was behind cyberattacks on Democrats during the election campaign. Woolsey served as a senior adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, and he continued to make public appearances as a top consultant following the election.

      Kim Jong Un’s Wife Losing Power Battle, Defector Claims

      The wife of Kim Jong Un may have reappeared in public last month, but she is losing a battle of power to the North Korean leader’s sister, a former diplomat for the regime said this week. Instead of Ri Sol Ju, whose life has been shrouded in mystery since she emerged as Kim’s wife in 2012, it is Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, who wields significance over the young leader. It is Ri’s status as a “commoner” in North Korea’s class system that means she has little influence over her husband, while Ri directs all major public events, Thae told South Korea’s Maeli Broadcasting Network, UPI reported Tuesday, in one of his many media appearances.

      Sisters traveling to see dying father kicked off plane

      Two sisters said they were kicked off an Allegiant Air flight after authorities deemed them a threat, and it cost them the chance to see their dying father. Debbie Hartman and Trisha Baker of DeLand, Florida, said they were on the plane Monday in Orlando, waiting to take off for Asheville, North Carolina, to see their father, who was in hospice care. Hartman had a panic attack and Baker accused the flight attendant of not being compassionate, telling her "You're being very rude," Hartman recalled.

      Nigerian soldiers find Chibok girl kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014

      Nigerian soldiers have found a schoolgirl who was one of more than 200 pupils kidnapped by Islamist militant group Boko Haram from their school in the northeastern town of Chibok in April 2014, an army spokesman said on Thursday. The troops had found Rakiya Abubkar wandering around near Algarno, a former Boko Haram stronghold, the spokesman said. A total of 276 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram from Chibok in 2014 in one of the most infamous actions of their insurgency.

      Russian Marines in smashing Philippine charm offensive

      Russian Marines shattered glass bottles with their heads and smashed burning wooden planks against each other Thursday as part of an eye-catching charm offensive in the Philippines, a traditional US ally. The camouflage-clad Marines showed off their pistol-shooting, knife-fighting and martial arts skills to the Filipino public in Manila's central park as part of a "goodwill visit" spearheaded by two warships following Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's announced pivot away from the United States. Filipinos were also allowed to attend an open house on the submarine-hunter Admiral Tributs, one of the two ships making what was only the Russian Navy's third-ever port call in the Philippines.

      Intelligence chief: Russia’s election interference went far beyond hacks

      Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says the Russian government’s interference with the United States election went far beyond the now highly publicized hacks of Democratic email accounts, which were merely one part of a multilayered campaign of propaganda and deception. The intelligence leader outlined various methods wielded by Moscow to interfere with U.S. institutions during Thursday morning testimony on cyberattacks before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The testimony comes at a point of tension between the U.S. intelligence community and Donald Trump.

Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant, which you’d usually find inside the Amazon Echo or Google Home, will come preloaded in a variety of products this year. Lenovo is one company whose Echo rival might be better than Amazon’s, while Nvidia has figured out a way to make a better Google Home than Google.
