In Afghanistan, 50 Taliban militants, including IS terrorists, have been killed across the country. According to a statement released by the Afghan defense ministry yesterday, the operations were carried out in the country’s eastern and central regions. A number of fighters were detained, while Afghan forces also seized weapons belonging to the militants, the ministry added.

European Union Interior and Justice Ministers will hold a crisis meeting today in Brussels following the militant attacks that killed 35 people in the Belgian capital. Netherlands, which currently holds the EU rotating presidency, announced this yesterday. The meeting is crucial amid news reports, which reveals that Islamic State has allegedly trained at least 400 fighters to target Europe in a series of terrorist attacks. Security officials said, the IS terrorist group has a number of semi-autonomous cells spread across Europe. The warning comes from a number of European and Iraqi intelligence officials, as well as a French lawmaker familiar with jihadi networks. 
Meanwhile, Turkey said it had detained and then deported Ibrahim El Bakraoui, one of the two suicide bombers at Brussels airport. He accused the Belgian authorities of failing to confirm his links to terror. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday said Turkish authorities detained the attacker in June last year in Gaziantep, close to the Syrian border, and then deported the foreign terrorist fighter to the Netherlands at his request. An official informed that Belgian consular authorities were formally notified of his deportation on July 14, 2015, adding that he was then released by the Belgian authorities, without giving a timeframe.

In Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) MLAs will meet in Srinagar today to discuss the future course of action regarding the formation of a new government in the state. They will also deliberate upon the continuance of the PDP's alliance with BJP and PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti's meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday. The PDP Chief called the legislature party meeting after her talks with Prime Minister. Soon after the meeting, Ms. Mufti had said that she would take a final decision regarding the government formation and PDP-BJP alliance after consulting her party MLAs. Describing her meeting with Mr Modi as positive, the PDP Chief had had expressed satisfaction about its outcome.

AIR correspondent reports, After Tuesday’s meeting, Mehbooba Mufti sought to give impression that Prime Minister cleared her dilemma over various issues confronting J&K. However, the criticism of the main opposition National Conference, Congress and other political parties charging PDP of backtracking and misleading people of the State, would hang on PDP’s mind before taking final call on the government formation. BJP said it was committed to the implementation of already agreed Agenda of Alliance. PDP is yet to come up with the reaction to the allegations of opposition parties. Mehbooba Mufti's predicament would be how it will explain its position on the issue of time bound implementation of State specific CBMs that it was talking for the past two and a half months before going ahead with the alliance with BJP. 

State Governor NN Vohra has called separate meetings with PDP Chief and BJP State Unit President tomorrow.

Meanwhile, BJP has clarified that it has not accepted any new condition from PDP for the formation of a new government in the state. Talking to media persons in New Delhi, party General Secretary Ram Madhav said during her meeting with the Prime Minister, the PDP Chief did not raise any demand.

The Australian government says it will hold an early election in July if the Senate fails to pass two labour reform bills.

With the Gunners facing obvious elimination against the Champions League holders after their first leg 2-0 defeat in London, manager Arsene Wenger opted to start 19-year-old Iwobi ahead of the pair of Theo Walcott and Joel Campbell.
The Nigeria international put in a good shift in his 72 minutes on the pitch where he missed an opportunity to score and was also denied a penalty call.

Group Managing Director/CEO of Skye Bank Plc, Timothy Oguntayo, has called for massive investment in the manufacturing, agriculture and extractive industries for the success of the diversification program of the government.
He spoke during  a ‘Roundtable session on the Manufacturing outlook for 2016’ organised by the Dr. Biodun Adedipe led BAA Associates in Lagos.
Oguntayo, who was Lead panelist at the roundtable; said he has identified three sectors that are critical to the success of the economic diversification agenda of the government in view of the dwindling oil prices, low GDP growth, and rising unemployment in the country.
He said hitherto, the manufacturing sector contributed 10 per cent of Gross Domestic Product before the advent of oil boom of the 1970s, but lamented Nigeria’s overdependence on oil export and earnings from the 1990s to date.
He said the over dependence on oil resulted in the neglect of the manufacturing sector; just as low investment in public goods and infrastructure led to the decline in manufacturing activities.
To reverse the negative trend, he recommended the expansion of public infrastructure like road, electricity, among others to promote manufacturing. In addition, he advised manufacturers to access the earmarked N200 billion Central Bank of Nigeria and N200 billion Bank of Industry’s intervention funds to boost their operations.
Noting that commercial banks were not structured to provide long term funding but bridge finance, he said the Bank of Industry and NEXIM Bank should be strengthened to provide long term funding for manufacturers

Blackberry has finally resumed the rolling out of  BlackBerry Messenger mobile social messaging service (BBM) on  iPhone and Android apps.
The company said in a blog post that the free BBM apps will start showing up in Google Play, Apple App Store and some Samsung App Stores.
In order to make sure all goes smoothly, you’ll need to line up for a spot by visiting BBM.com from your phone’s browser and entering your information. You’ll get an email when your turn comes up.
If you have already signed up at bbm.com you should be able to start using the app immediately.
Last month, the company paused the rollout of the apps after an unreleased version of the Android app was posted online. About a million Android users jumped in within seven hours to grab that version, which the company pulled back.
In the blog post, the company noted that more than a million people also found a way to “sideload” BBM onto iPhones.
In May, the struggling Canadian firm announced that it would be rolling out BBM, perhaps the company’s most popular service, to other mobile platforms. It had been exclusive to BlackBerry smartphones. The service features BBM Chat for instant messaging with other users. Additionally, each user has a unique PIN, so you don’t have to give out your phone number to use the service – a privacy feature.
The company has slashed 4,500 jobs in a last-ditch move to recharge itself. It has so far failed to invigorate its business despite unveiling a new smartphone line and software in January. The company is now an acquisition target

Question: How many new iPhone models does Apple release each year? It used to be one, then two when Apple launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Well now in 2016 it is going to be four…  
Looking to consolidate his reputation as “the best Apple analyst on the planet”, KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again. In a research note obtained by MacRumors Kuo has reaffirmed that Apple will indeed release three models of the iPhone 7 this year in addition to the imminent 4-inch ‘iPhone SE’.
Consequently the three iPhone 7 models will be the 4.7-inch iPhone 7, 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus and a new and even more premium model based around (already huge) Plus which some are dubbing the ‘iPhone 7 Pro’. What’s the difference between the Pro (I’ll go with the name for now) and the Plus? A groundbreaking camera.
In fact, I should say groundbreaking ‘cameras’ because Kuo says the iPhone 7 Pro will use a dual-lens camera system created by LinX, an imaging specialist Apple purchased in 2015.
My fellow Forbes’ contributor Paul Monckton has already broken down LinX technology in detail, but the short version is it promises huge steps forward in speed and low light shots as well as the ability to incorporate a 2-3x optical zoom. The latter is potentially a major differentiator for Apple given the opportunity to build on the success of its ‘Shot on iPhone’ marketing campaign.
Kuo says LinX dual-lens technology also allows the camera module to be very thin so the iPhone 7 Pro may eliminate the range’s infamous camera bulge.
But why would Apple consider fragmenting its iPhone range just to put a better camera into a third iPhone 7 model? Why not equip all iPhone 7 models with the technology or, if it must be split, offer it in the Plus and not the standard iPhone 7? After all there’s a precedent there. The iPhone 6 and 6S already lag behind the iPhone 6/6S Plus cameras due to their lack of optical image stabilisation (OIS).










Kuo states the reason for making the third model simply comes down to supply constraints. Apple can’t produce the LinX camera modules in enough quantity so it will create a third smartphone just to get the technology to the market in more limited quantities.
And it is this last detail which, for me, raises questions.
Brilliance Or Madness?
Some may think a third super premium iPhone 7 is a great idea which allows Apple to cash in, but personally I think fragmenting the iPhone line is a bad idea and something Apple should avoid at all costs. With the iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus (and potentially ongoing sales of the iPhone 5S) there’s already enough variety and an iPhone 7 Pro would only serve to confuse customers.
So why is Apple doing it? It must think either a) LinX technology is so impressive customers need to see it and be blown away, or b) it will cover for limitations in Apple’s standard camera technology which fell behind Samsung’s Galaxy S6, especially as the gap is about to widen further with the Galaxy S7.
If it is the latter and Apple already knows its high volume, more conventional camera technology in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus can’t match the Galaxy S7 then perhaps Apple feels it needs a limited edition flagship which can match or even surpasses Samsung’s efforts and become the posterchild for marketing.
Of course the other angle is Kuo is simply wrong. But given over the last 18 months he broke news of the radical 12-inch MacBook, iPad Pro (including launch), the shift to 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen sizes with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and nailed every major feature of the iPhone 6S four months ahead of its launch this seems unlikely.
As such I’ll be monitoring this very closely indeed…
