THREE NEWS YOU CAN’T MISS:

  • EU users are allowed to delete Apple apps

    Apple will allow iPhone and iPad users in the EU to delete the App Store and the Safari search engine, the technology giant announced. The reason is the EU’s new digital laws.

    Until now, Apple has steadfastly defended the App Store as the only way to get digital content to its mobile devices.

    Among other things, the EU has claimed that the fees that Apple charges other developers “go beyond what is strictly necessary”. Apple promised last month to make changes to comply with the EU’s digital marketing law, the DMA.

    Artful drug smugglers recently failed to smuggle tons of methamphetamine into the United States.

    The border patrol in Otay Mesa on the Mexican border caught sight of a truck transporting watermelons.

    But among the real melons were a large number of plastic packages painted in two different shades of green.

    In total, over two tons of methamphetamine distributed in 1,220 packages were found – all with a value of over five million dollars.

    Hiding drugs in food is a common way to smuggle illegal substances between countries. It is most common in banana cars, but recently drug finds have also been made among gouda cheeses and avocados.

    At the same border crossing in Otay Mesa, 300 kilograms of methamphetamine was discovered in a load of celery last week, writes BBC.

    During the last week, several NATO bases were subjected to sabotage in Germany. Among other things, there was a sabotage aimed at a German military base’s water system.

    “This is not a cause for concern and is merely a precautionary measure to ensure we can continue our critical operations,” the spokesman said.

    The Supreme Court of Venezuela supports President Nicolás Maduro’s claim that he won the election held on July 28.

    The court also states that the vote figures published online by the opposition, which show that Maduro lost the election by a large margin to opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, are falsified.

    The Supreme Court is dominated by people loyal to Nicolás Maduro.

    Opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia addressed the Supreme Court on Thursday in a post on the X social media platform.

    “To the judges of the court: no decision will replace the will of the people. The country and the world know your bias and, as a result, your inability to resolve this conflict,” he wrote, adding:

    “Your decision will only make the crisis worse.”
