Mercedes exercised an option to extend his contract after team boss Toto Wolff decided to retain the Finn rather than promote reserve driver Esteban Ocon. Ocon has joined Renault for 2020 after a year on the sidelines. Wolff had been concerned that Bottas' form had slipped after a strong start to the season but preferred stability over the uncertainty of taking Ocon. "For 2019, we set Valtteri the challenge of coming back even stronger than we saw him in the first part of 2018 - and he has achieved that, with some really impressive performances in the early races this year," said Wolff. Bottas, who joined Mercedes in 2017, is second in the championship, 62 points behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton. He is level with the Briton on four pole positions going into the Belgian Grand Prix this weekend but has won only two races compared with Hamilton's eight. "I am very happy and proud to be part of the team for a fourth season and wish to thank every team member...

Responding to the decision by the Insein Township Court to sentence filmmaker Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi to one year in prison on charges of undermining the military, Nicholas Bequelin, Amnesty International’s Director for East and South East Asia, said: “Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi is a respected filmmaker who has already spent more than four months in detention for criticizing Myanmar’s military on social media. The guilty verdict handed down today is an appalling indictment of the state of freedom of expression in Myanmar, where a Facebook post can lead to time in prison.   “This punishment is especially cruel because Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi suffers from serious health problems, including liver cancer, and needs specialist treatment. He should not be facing years in prison simply for peacefully expressing his opinion. His conviction is a travesty of justice which will instil fear and deter others from speaking out against the military. “Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi is a Prisoner of Conscience, this c...

A fossil from Ethiopia is letting scientists look millions of years into our evolutionary history — and they see a face peering back. The find, from 3.8 million years ago, reveals the face for a presumed ancestor of the species famously represented by Lucy, the celebrated Ethiopian partial skeleton found in 1974. This ancestral species is the oldest known member of Australopithecus, a grouping of creatures that preceded our own branch of the family tree, called Homo. Scientists have long known that this species — A. anamensis — existed, and previous fossils of it extend back to 4.2 million years ago. But the discovered facial remains were limited to jaws and teeth. The newly reported fossil includes much of the skull and face. It was described Wednesday in the journal Nature by Yohannes Haile-Selassie of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and co-authors. The face apparently came from a male. Its middle and lower parts jut forward; Lucy’s species shows a flatter...

According to the reports,  Apple wanted to rely on the 900 megahertz radio system in order to allow iPhones to communicate to each other without the need for cellular coverage. Such an approach is already being used for walkie-talkies, and the aforementioned source claims the application would have allowed iPhone users to send text messages even when a mobile signal wasn’t available. Codenamed Project OGRS (which stands for Off-Grid Radio Service), the new feature has reportedly been suspended already, and while the reasons are still vague at this point, it’s believed the decision is connected to at least two recent changes at Apple. MAYBE, NEXT YEAR?  First of all, Ruben Caballero, who according to the cited source was the “project champion,” left the company in April. Without someone to lead the project, Apple had no other choice than to put it on hold, at least temporarily, albeit at this point it’s not yet clear if the company plans to resume work on this feature or...

President Jair Bolsonaro said Brazil may accept the G-7's offer of $22 million for help with fires in the Amazon if France's Emmanuel Macron withdraws his "insults" regarding the issue. "Macron has to take back his insults of me," he said, according to Reuters, appearing offended by previous comments made by the French leader on the issue.  "He called me a liar. Before we talk or accept anything from France ... he must withdraw these words then we can talk." He later told reporters that Brazil had nothing against the G-7, but rather against the president of a G-7 country. Last week, Macron threatened to block an EU trade agreement with Brazil and its neighboring countries over Bolsanaro's lack of action to control the surge in Amazonian forest fires. "Given the attitude of Brazil over the last weeks, the president can only conclude that President Bolsonaro lied to him at the Osaka (G-20) summit," a presidential official said...
