Apple ordered to re-write 'inaccurate' Samsung statement

Apple has 48 hours to re-write a statement on its website relating to its design rights dispute with Samsung, UK judges have ruled.

Apple said it believed the message had been in compliance with the court order

Apple was forced on 18 October to publish a message making it clear that Samsung had not infringed the iPad's registered design.

However Samsung complained the statement Apple had posted did not comply with the court order.

Judges agreed and have told Apple it must be removed within 24 hours.

A new, compliant version must then be posted.

Michael Beloff QC, representing Apple, told judges that the company had thought that it had complied with the court order.

"It's not designed to punish," he said.

"It's not designed to make us grovel. The only purpose must be to dispel commercial uncertainty."

He asked that the company be given 14 days to post the replacement - but the request was firmly denied.

Lord Justice Longmore told Mr Beloff: "We are just amazed that you cannot put the right notice up at the same time as you take the other one down."

The mayor of Amsterdam says he will not ban foreign tourists from using the city's famous cannabis cafes, after months of argument over new drug laws

The mayor of Amsterdam says he will not ban foreign tourists from using the city's famous cannabis cafes, after months of argument over new drug laws.

The move comes after the new government of the Netherlands said it would be up to local authorities whether or not to impose such a ban.

Mayor Eberhard van der Laan said banning the sale of the drug to foreigners could lead to more crime.

Each year, some 1.5 million tourists visit Amsterdam to consume cannabis.

"The 1.5 million tourists will not say 'then no more marijuana', they will swarm all over the city looking for drugs," said Mayor Van der Laan, who has long opposed a ban.

"This would lead to more robberies, quarrels about fake drugs, and no control of the quality of drugs on the market - everything we have worked towards would be lost to misery."

Tourism fears

Amsterdam also relies heavily on tourism, and cannabis users make up about a third of its total visitors.

Under laws introduced by the previous conservative-led Dutch government, a national ban on foreigners using cannabis was due to be rolled out to Amsterdam by the end of this year.

It was intended to curb drug use and prevent drug dealers from operating in the Netherlands, and prevent them from buying drugs to sell abroad.

The move was strongly opposed by cafe owners, who said the law unfairly discriminated against other EU residents, and warned that 90% of their income came from foreign tourists.

There are an estimated 700 coffee shops selling cannabis in the Netherlands.

It is not strictly legal to use cannabis, but its use is tolerated and possession of small amounts was decriminalised in the 1970s.

Elephant 'speaks Korean' with help of his trunk

An Asian elephant called Koshik has astounded scientists with his Korean language skills.

Researchers report that the mammal has learnt to imitate human speech and can say five words in Korean: hello, no, sit down, lie down and good.

The zoo animal places the tip of his trunk into his mouth to transform his natural low rumble into a convincing impression of a human voice.

The study is published in the journal Current Biology.

Koshik's vocal abilities mean that elephants now join a growing list of animals that are able to mimic man, from parrots and mynah birds to more unusual animals such as sea lions or the recently reported case of ahuman-sounding beluga whale.

Meaningful conversation?

The study's lead author Dr Angela Stoeger, from the University of Vienna in Austria, said she first came across Koshik after videos of the elephant, who belongs to Everland Zoo in South Korea, were posted on YouTube.

After making contact with the zoo, she went to South Korea to record the animal so she could study its unusual vocal talent.

Dr Stoeger said: "We asked native Korean speakers, who had never experienced the elephant before, to write down what they understood when we played back recordings from Koshik. check out this link;http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20142858

Poll of polls, 29 October

President Barack Obama is to resume an election campaign suspended in the aftermath of storm Sandy, which wreaked havoc in the north-eastern US.

Mr Obama has planned campaign stops on Thursday in Nevada, Colorado and Wisconsin.

On Wednesday, he toured parts of New Jersey struck by the storm with Republican Governor Chris Christie.

President Obama pledged help for those affected by Sandy as he visited Brigantine, New Jersey

"You guys are in my thoughts and prayers," the president said during a visit to an emergency shelter in Atlantic City. "We are going to be here for the long haul."

More than five million homes and businesses across the north-east still have no electricity. Some utilities are warning it could take seven to 10 days to restore full power.

In the New Jersey city of Hoboken, across the Hudson River from New York City, the National Guard has arrived to evacuate about 20,000 people and distribute meals.

Gov Christie, usually one of Mr Obama's fiercest critics, spoke of his "great working relationship" with the Democratic president.

"I cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern and compassion for the people of our state," said Mr Christie.

Mr Romney held two rallies in Florida on Wednesday, where his campaign said he tried to strike a "positive tone".

Election day is on 6 November, and polls suggest the candidates are running neck and neck.

KIONGOZI WA UPINZANI RWANDA AHUKUMIWA JELA

          

Kiongozi wa upinzani nchini Rwanda Victoire Ingabire amehukumiwa miaka minane gerezani baada ya kupatikana na hatia ya kosa la uhaini

Viongozi wa mashtaka walitaka afungwe maisha jela kwa kutishia usalama wa nchi.

Mahakama imempata na hatia ya kupuuza mauaji ya Kimbari yaliyotokea mwaka 1994.

TAARIFA KAMILI KUHUSU VURUGU ZA ZNZ SASA HIVI NA ASKARI ALIYEUWAWA.

Mpaka sasa hivi hali katika baadhi ya vitongoji visiwani Zanzibar sio shwari pamoja na kwamba serikali imetoa tamko kuwataka wananchi kuendelea na shughuli zao kama kawaida.

Vurugu zilianza toka jana kutokana na kukamatwa kwa kiongozi wa taasisi ya kiislamu, Sheikh Farid Hadi Ahmed ambapo msemaji wa polisi Znz Mohamed Mhina amesema mpaka leo wafuasi wa kikundi cha Uamsho wameendelea na vurugu na uchomaji wa matairi barabarani na kuweka mawe.

Kwenye sentensi nyingine ni kwamba leo ndio imethibitishwa kuuwawa kwa  askari polisi wa kikosi cha kutuliza ghasia FFU Saidi Abdul-Rahman, ameuwawa kwa kukatwa mapanga na watu wasiojulikana usiku wa kuamkia leo.

Pamoja na watu waliofanya tukio hilo kutofahamika msemaji wa polisi Mhina amesema wanaosadikiwa kufanya hilo tukio ni wafuasi wa kikundi cha Uamsho ambapo mwili wake imepatikana na imefanyiwa uchunguzi kwenye hospitali kuu ya mnazi mmoja.

Mpaka sasa watu 10 wamekamatwa kutokana na fujo hizo vilevile Polisi wanaendelea kutafuta mahali alipo kiongozi wa kikundi cha Uamsho ambae alidaiwa kupotea tangu juzi jioni (jumanne) ambapo alimtuma dereva wake apeleke umeme nyumbani, dereva aliporudi kumfata hakumkuta.

TAARIFA KAMILI KUHUSU WAUMINI 50 WA DINI YA KIISLAMU KUFIKISHWA MAHAKAMANI LEO DSM.

Jumla ya waumini 50 wa Dini ya Kiislamu, ambao ni wafuasi wa Sheikh ISSA PONDA pamoja na yeye mwenyewe, leo wamefikishwa katika mahakama ya hakimu mkazi Kisutu, kujibu kesi ya wizi wa mali na uvamizi wa Ardhi inayowakabili.

Washitakiwa hao 50 kwa pamoja wanakabiliwa na Mashitaka Manne, yakiwemo ya kula njama kwa nia ya kutenda kosa kinyume cha sheria, kuingia kwa nguvu kwa lengo la kutaka kutenda makosa, kumiliki kwa nguvu ardhi ya Kampuni ya AGRI-TANZA, wizi wa matofali 1,500, na kokoto tani 36 vyote vikiwa na thamani ya shilingi milioni 56.6.

Wakili mwandamizi wa Serikali TUMAINI KWEKA, amesema kuwa pamoja na makosa hayo manne, mtuhumiwa namba moja Sheikh ISSA PONDA anakabiliwa na shitaka jingine la Tano, la uchochezi wenye nia ya kutaka kutenda kosa.

Akisoma mashitaka hayo mbele ya Hakimu Mkazi Mfawidhi STEWART SANGA, wa Mahakama ya Haklimu mkazi Kisutu, aliyemuwakilisha Hakimu Mkazi Mfawidhi VICTORIA NONGWA ambaye yupo kwenye Semina, Wakili KWEKA ameitaka mahakama itoe masharti magumu kwa washitakiwa 49, ili watakapotoka wasirejee kwenda kutenda makosa.

Kwa upande wa mshitakiwa wa kwanza Sheikh PONDA, Wakili KWEKA amesema kwamba Mwendesha mashtaka Mkuu wa Serikali DPP ELIEZA FERESHI, ameiandikia mahakama kuitaka kutompatia dhamana mshitakiwa huyo, kutokana na sababu za Kiusalama na Maslahi ya Jamuhuri, jambo ambalo limepingwa na wakili wa washitakiwa JUMA NASSORO, aliyetaka kuainishwa kwa sababu zaidi za kutotaka dhamana hiyo.

Licha ya kupinga agizo hilo la DPP pia Wakili NASSORO ameiomba mahakama, kumlegezea masharti mshitakiwa mwenye umri mkubwa kuliko washitakiwa wote, aliyemtaja kwa jina la ZAIDA YUSUPH mwenye umri wa miaka 100, kutokana na hali yake ya kiafya.

Kabla ya uamuzi wa Hakimu, Wakili KWEKA ameiambia mahakama kuwa haina uwezo kisheria wa kupinga maagizo yaliyotolewa na DPP, hivyo ombi la wakili wa washitakiwa haliwezi kufanyiwa kazi.

Baada ya maelezo ya mawakili hao, Hakimu STEWART SANGA amesema hawezi kusikiliza ombi lolote wala kutoa maamuzi, kutokana na kutokuwepo kwa hakimu mwenye dhamana ya kusikiliza kesi hiyo, na hivyo kuwataka watuhumiwa wote kurudi Rumande mpaka Novemba Mosi, ambapo kesi hiyo itatajwa tena.

Sheikh PONDA aliwasili katika viwanja vya mahakama ya Kisutu majira ya Saa sita na dakika ishirini, akiwa chini ya ulinzi mkali wa polisi, ambapo kesi ilianza kusomwa na kudumu kwa zaidi ya saa moja, huku ndugu wa washitakiwa wakiwepo nje kusubiri hatma ya ndugu zao.

VURUGU KANISANI: ASKOFU MOKIWA ANUSURIKA KIPIGO KUTOKA KWA WAUMINI, AOKOLEWA NA POLISI

ASKOFU  Mkuu wa Kanisa la Anglikana Tanzania  la  Dk. Valentino  Mkowa leo amejikuta kwenye wakati mgumu baada ya kunusurika kupata kipigo kutoka kwa waumini wake waliokuwa wenye hasira kali.

Vurugu kubwa ziliibuka mara  baada ya kusomwa kwa  tamko lililothibitisha kuwa nyumba ya maaskofu inamtambua  Askofu Canon Kasagara kuwa ni kiongozi wao halali wa kanisa la Anglikana la watakatifu wote Jimbo  la Ziwa Rukwa mjini Sumbawanga.

Katibu mkuu wa Anglikana Dk, Dickson Chilongani ndiye aliyesoma tamko hilo mara baada ya kumalizika kwa ibada iliyoongozwa na Askofu Mkuu Dk. Mokiwa.

Akisoma tamko hilo Katibu Mkuu alisema kuwa sehemu ya hoja za msingi kamati ya usimamizi wa kanisa hilo zilidai kuwa uchaguzi uliomweka madarakani Askofu Kasagara uligubikwa na rushwa,si za kweli na  nyumba ya maaskofu imeshindwa kuthibitisha hilo hivyo Kasagara ni askofu wao halali.

Kutokana na kauli hiyo waumini hao, walianza kupiga kelele ya kupinga maelezo hayo hali iliyosababisha mjumbe  wa Kamati ya kusimamia kanisa hilo Flugence Lusunzu aliposhika kinasa sauti na kueleza kuwa wanao ushahidi wa kutosha kuwa rushwa ilitumika kwenye kinyang’anyiro cha  uchaguzi huo uliofanyika zaidi ya miaka miwili iliyopita.

Alidai kuwa uamuzi wa nyumba ya maaskofu haukuwapa fursa ya kusikiliza upande wa walalamikaji ili hali ushahidi upo wazi, kutokana kauli hiyo zilianza fujo zilisababisha askofu Mokiwa kutolewa lugha chafu, kuvuliwa kufia yake ya kiaskofu, huku wengine warusha viti ambavyo alivikwepa hado alipoondolewa akiwa chini ya polisi waliokuwa wamevalia kiraia.

Hali hiyo iliharibu amani iliyokuwa imetawala ndani ya Kanisa hilo ambapo uligeuka kuwa uwanja wa vita huku waumini wakisikika wakidai kuwa ni heri kanisa hilo lifungwe kuliko Askofu Kasagara kuliongoza.

Awali tangu nyakati za asubuhi, polisi waliovaa kiraia walitanda katika viunga vya kanisa hilo ambapo Askofu Mokiwa aliwasili na kulakiwa vizuri na waumini wake waliokuwa wakishangilia kwa nyimbo na mapambio.

Hata hivyo tayari waumini wa Kanisa hilo walionya kwamba askofu Kasagara asikanyage kwenye eneo hilo, kwani kufanya hivyo kunge hatarisha amani onyo ambalo upande wa askofu Kasagara walitii hivyo askofu huyo mwenye makazi yake wilayani Mpanda alibaki katika nyumba moja ya kulala wageni alikokuwa amefikia.

Mmoja wa waumini  Julius Michael alisema kwa kuwa waumini wa Jimbo la Rukwa hawamtaki askofu Kasagara hakuna sababu ya kuwalazimishwa lakini  nyumba ya maaskofu inapaswa kuangalia uwezekano wa kuligawa jimbo hilo.

Tayari Serikali imegawa mkoa wa Rukwa na kuzaa ule wa Katavi sasa hakuna umuhimu wa kuwalazimisha waumini wampokee mtu wasiyemtaka nyumba ya maaskofu waanzishe jimbo katika mkoa huo mpya na aongoze Kasagara.

 Alisema iwapo watatumia nguvu kumuweka Askofu huyo Rukwa haitasaidia kitu kwani hawezi kuwaongoza watu wasiotaka kushirikiana nae.

Mgogoro katika Kanisa hilo umedumu kwa zaidi ya miaka miwili sasa ambapo siku za nyuma waumini hao  walimzuia  Askofu  Mkuu,  Dk  Valentino  Mkowa  kumsimika  Askofu  huyo  na  badala  yake  alisikimkwa  tarehe 16, Juni mwaka jana   Mjini  Mpanda.

Kutokana na kujitokeza kwa mgogoro huo, ilifunguliwa  kesi mahakamani ya Hakimu Mkazi Sumbawanga na waumini wa anglikana, Fulgence Rusunzu na Rojas Bendera  na wenzao 191 yenye  namba 11/2011 wakipinga kuchaguliwa kwa askofu Kasagala kuwa kiongozi wa Dayosisi hiyo.
