Google plans deeper Assistant integration with phones and wireless carriers

By
Google is announcing a bunch of forthcoming updates to Assistant today, but one arrives much sooner than the others: routines, a feature announced back in October that’ll allow Assistant to perform multiple actions at once from a single command you set up ahead of time. It’s a simple concept, but it should be a handy addition for people with lots of smart home gadgets. Google says it’ll be rolling out over the “coming weeks.”

The other two announcements being made today will arrive throughout the year: deeper integration between the Assistant and both smartphones and carriers. The first may sound strange — Assistant is already integrated into your phone, after all — but it isn’t yet closely integrated with the specific hardware and software of every device. So in the future, you might be able to say, “Hey Google, launch my camera’s augmented reality mode,” and it’ll open up straight to that feature.
"Carriers and phone makers have to add support — and they may not"

Google is working with Android phone makers to let them add this kind of specific support to their devices. At first, it’ll only be for camera features, but the company imagines it’ll expand to pretty much whatever else its hardware partners can think of. With some phone manufacturers pushing their own smart assistants, it’s possible that not everyone will jump on board with this, but the ability sounds like it should be handy where it’s supported. The first partners will include LG, Sony, and Xiaomi.

We're open to work with Britain over incident involving ex-agent

By
The Kremlin said on Tuesday it was ready to cooperate if Britain asks it for help investigating an incident involving a former Russian double agent who fell ill after exposure to an unknown substance. Sergei Skripal, once a colonel in Russia's GRU military intelligence service, was critically ill in hospital on Tuesday after he was exposed to an unidentified substance in southern England. "Nobody has approached us with such a request," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters, when asked if the British authorities had been in touch seeking help. "Moscow is always open for cooperation." When asked to respond to British media speculation that Russia had poisoned Skripal, Peskov said: "It didn't take them long." Calling the incident "a tragic situation," he said the Kremlin did not have information about what had happened. Source :- yahoonews

Key players recall 1968 Polish student revolt, ensuing anti-Semitism

By
In March 1968, a student revolt crushed by Poland's baton-wielding police was used as a pretext for an anti-Semitic purge by the communist regime. It began when the communists banned the 19th-century play "Forefathers' Eve" by poet Adam Mickiewicz claiming it had anti-Russian elements. Two students who contested the ban were expelled from the University of Warsaw, prompting their peers to stage a demonstration on March 8. Backed by other civil groups, particularly workers unhappy with daily life under communism, the pro-democracy protests spread to other cities. The regime used the student revolt as an excuse to unleash an anti-Semitic campaign that was rooted in a settling of scores inside the Communist Party, which was split into two camps.
