German actress Karin Dor, who played legendary Bond girl Helga Brandt alongside Sean Connery, has died at the age of 79.

A theatre in Munich where she had worked for several years confirmed the actress died in a care home on Monday.

Dor, who famously played an assassin sent to kill James Bond in You Only Live Twice, appeared in dozens of films, TV shows and theatre plays during her career after she started performing at the age of 17 in her homeland.

Apart from her James Bond role in 1967, which saw her character being fed to piranhas, she also appeared in the 1969 thriller Topaz, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, in which she played Juanita de Cordoba.

She appeared in US crime drama Ironside too, playing Jeanine Duvalier in the TV show.

The actress was married three times, most recently to stuntman and actor George Robotham, who died in 2007.

She is survived by her son Andreas, who she had from her previous marriage to Austrian film director Harald Reinl.

LA task force to evaluate Hollywood sex claims


A team of specially trained lawyers will look at cases referred by the police following the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal.

 UK,Friday 10 November 2017

Prosecutors in Los Angeles have established a task force to deal with the sprawling allegations of sexual abuse in the entertainment industry.


The city's district attorney Jackie Lacey announced she had formed a team of specially trained lawyers to evaluate any cases referred to her by police.


It is the latest legal development in a growing scandal which continues to rock Hollywood.

Detectives in the cities of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, along with police in New York and London, are currently investigating serious allegations made by a number of women against the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Last month Weinstein was fired from the company he founded after a number of women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct. Since then, dozens more have made similar accusations against him.

The 65-year-old, once one of the most powerful figures in the movie business, has been ostracised by everyone from the Oscars' Academy and BAFTA. He has separated from his British wife, Georgina Chapman, and has undergone therapy at a rehab centre in Arizona.

But new claims have continued to surface about other household names in the entertainment industry.

Lacey said: "I have assigned the group of veteran sex crimes prosecutors to work together to ensure a uniformed approach to the legal review and possible prosecution of any case that meets both the legal and factual standards for criminal prosecution."

So far, she said, no cases had been referred by police for "possible criminal filing".


Hollywood has been wrestling with how to address the issues arising from the Weinstein scandal and ridding the industry of its "casting couch" culture.

It has also been encouraged to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse by paedophiles working in the entertainment industry.

Earlier this month two former child actors told Sky News of the abuse they suffered and the difficulties they encountered in trying to report it.

But the viral spread of the hashtag 'MeToo', started by the actress Alyssa Milano and adopted by hundreds of thousands of women relating their own stories of harassment in all walks of life, has exposed the scale of the problem beyond the entertainment industry.

Three new films are planned to add to the Star Wars universe, it has been confirmed.


The films will expand the universe outside of the Skywalker saga - and will introduce a slew of new characters.


They will be created by Rian Johnson, who is behind the upcoming new instalment The Last Jedi, the saga's eighth film due for release in December.

Johnson's regular collaborator Ram Bergman will produce the films.

"We can't wait to continue with this new series of films."

"Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy."

The original franchise has nine films, including the final installment known as Star Wars: Episode IX, which is directed by JJ Abrams and will be released in 2019.

Louis CK cancels film premiere and TV appearance amid allegations of sexual misconduct



The premiere for the comedian's I Love You Daddy was cancelled along with a Late Show appearance after the allegations emerged.

US comedian Louis CK has cancelled the premiere for his new film amid allegations of sexual misconduct made by five women.


The premiere for I Love You Daddy was cancelled along with an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which was scheduled for Friday.


Comedy actresses Dana Min Goodman and Julia Wolov are among the accusers.

After performing at the US Comedy Arts Festival in 2002, Louis CK invited them up to his hotel room after their show, The New York Times reports.

They told the newspaper they agreed because they wanted to celebrate and he was a comedian they admired.

As soon as they sat down, the comedian masturbated in front of them, they said.

Image:The I Love You Daddy premiere was cancelled amid the allegations

Another actress, Abby Schachner, said the comedian masturbated while he was on the phone to her when she called to invite him to one of her shows.

Rebecca Corry, a comedian, claims the actor asked her if he could masturbate in front of her in 2005.

And a fifth woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, says he repeatedly asked her to watch him masturbate while she was working in production on The Chris Rock Show in the late 1990s, when he was a writer and producer.

She went along with his request and he performed the act while sat in his desk chair, she said, with her in his office and colleagues just outside.

Louis CK's publicist Lewis Kay responded to the New York Times report by saying that the comedian "is not going to answer any questions".

In an email to Reuters, he said that Louis CK would issue a written statement "in the coming days".

It is the latest in a series of sexual assault allegations against powerful figures in Hollywood, including those against Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein.

John Hillerman, Higgins on Magnum PI, dies aged 84



Hillerman, who excelled as Tom Selleck's pompous aide in the 1980s, also starred in some of the biggest films of the 1970s.

John Hillerman, the actor who played Tom Selleck's snooty aide Higgins on Magnum PI, has died aged 84.

Hillerman, whose health had been declining for the past year, died of natural causes on Thursday at his home in Houston, Texas.

On Magnum PI he was the antithesis of Thomas Magnum - a grumpy, stiff and self-righteous right-hand man to the relaxed and overconfident detective.

Hillerman played the character with a mixture of seriousness and humour which made him all the more credible and, in 1987, got him an Emmy.

Born in Texas, Hillerman played Higgins with a quasi-British accent which he developed after decades of acting on stage.

Image:John Hillerman and Tom Selleck on the set of Magnum PI

Before being playing the manager of Magnum's home estate in Hawaii, Hillerman starred in some of the biggest films of the 1970s - including Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show and Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter.

He also starred as one of many Johnsons in Mel Brooks' own version of a western, the comical Blazing Saddler.

But none of his film roles had the allure of Higgins. His nephew Chris Tritico, who broke the news of Hillerman's death, said the actor's favourite role had been in the 1980s TV series.

"The reason he didn't take another big role is he refused to take a sitcom after Magnum," he said.

"He wanted to continue doing the serious work that he felt Magnum was."

Paying tribute to his uncle, an air force veteran, he added: "He had an outstanding sense of humour and was one of the most well-read people I ever met. You couldn't play Scrabble with him."

Hillerman retired about 17 years ago - content with leaving Hollywood behind and returning to his native state of Texas.

At his request, no services will be held.

Dying boy's life saved after doctors in Italy grow a new skin to cover almost his entire body



The child is now able to live without medication, just two years after being placed in a coma as most of his skin had peeled off.

09:32, UK,Friday 10 November 2017
Image:The nine-year-old boy has been saved by the groundbreaking procedure

A boy with a rare incurable disease has been saved by scientists who created a new skin for almost his entire body.


The nine-year-old Syrian boy was dying from a severe condition called junctional epidermolysis bullosa, which caused him to lose the majority of his skin's outer layer.

It left him with constant blisters and open sores and he was taken to hospital in June 2015, with doctors placing him in an induced coma to ease his suffering.

Video:How doctors saved boy dying from skin disease

Doctors at the children's hospital at Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, tried using skin grafts from his father and donors, but they all failed.

The child was being prepared for palliative care, but after his desperate parents asked about experimental treatments, Dr Michele De Luca, of the University of Modena in Italy, was called in to help.

He and his colleagues had previously used gene therapy to produce a small piece of skin in a similar case.

The boy's parents were told their son may not survive the complicated surgeries.

"It was a tough decision for us. But we wanted to try for our son," his father said.

"We were forced to do something dramatic because this kid was dying," said Dr De Luca.

Doctors took a small piece of the boy's limited healthy skin and added those cells to the diseased gene to genetically modify them in a laboratory.

They then grew sheets of the modified skin, totalling a square metre.

Image:The child has had some 80% of the skin on his body replaced

It took three operations for the doctors to transplant the lab-grown skin onto the boy, eventually covering 80% of his body.

Just 10 days later, his new skin was already beginning to grow, Dr De Luca said.

Eight months on, doctors say nearly all of the boy's skin has been generated by the modified skin cells.

He is now able to play football, and does not even have to take medication.

Dr Tobias Rothoeft, one of the doctors originally looking after the boy, said: "This kid is back to his normal life again.

"That's what we dreamed of doing and it was possible."

The science behind the case was published on Wednesday in the journal, Nature.

"This takes us a huge step forward," said Dr Peter Marinkovich, of Stanford University School of Medicine, who has carried out related work.

He said it was impressive the doctors were able to make such large amounts of viable skin after correcting the genetic defect.

But he said in more serious cases complications, such as skin blistering in the lungs, the procedure may not work.

He said many patients do not survive beyond age two and using the treatment for babies could be even riskier.

Dr Holm Schneider, of the University Hospital Erlangen in Germany, warned some severely ill patients might have an extreme reaction to skin transplants with an added gene.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte threatens to slap UN critic of drugs war


The outspoken leader says a UN investigator has insulted him by criticizing a brutal clampdown on drugs that has killed thousands.

12:02, UK,Friday 10 November 2017

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to slap a UN investigator who criticised his deadly war on drugs.

Since Mr Duterte took office in June 2016, more than 7,000 people have been killed in a brutal clampdown on illegal substances, with the leader saying he would be "happy to slaughter" three million drug addicts.


UN human rights expert Agnes Callamard has been a vocal critic of the operation and called for the establishment of a "strong independent human rights institution" in the Philippines.

Speaking to an audience of Filipinos in Vietnam, Mr Duterte said he told Ms Callamard: "If you investigate me, I will slap you."

He told the crowd: "I will slap her in front of you. Why? Because you are insulting me."

Image:Ms Callamard described the Philippines' human rights funding as 'reprehensible'

Asking why Ms Callamard was not more concerned with bombings and violence in the Middle East, Mr Duterte added: "What have you been doing all the time? Why are you so fascinated with drugs?"

Last month, Ms Callamard said it was "reprehensible and unconscionable" that Filipino politicians voted to cut the annual budget for the country's human rights body to 1,000 pesos (£15).

The investigator added that Mr Duterte's war on drugs was creating a "climate of fear and insecurity, feeding impunity, and undermining the constitutional fabrics of the country".

Hitting back at the claims, the Philippine President offered to host a global summit in which leaders could discuss "how we can protect human rights for all".

Image:Demonstrators in Manila hold pictures of family members killed in the war on drugs

Mr Duterte said: "Let us investigate all violations of human rights committed by all governments.

"What makes the death of people in the Philippines more important than the rest of the children in the world that were massacred and killed?"

In his address, the outspoken leader also reiterated his claim that he stabbed someone to death as a teenager.

In a warning to drug addicts and dealers, he said: "When I was a teenager, I would go in and out of jail. I'd have rumbles here, rumbles there.

"At the age of 16, I already killed someone. A real person, a rumble, a stabbing.

"I was just 16 years old. It was just over a look. How much more now that I am president?"

Since the start of Mr Duterte's clampdown, Philippine police have reported killing more than 3,900 "drug personalities" and claim that another 2,290 died in unsolved "drug-related" killings.

Authorities insist police only kill in self-defense, but Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International say officers are carrying out extrajudicial killings.

Are you looking for a better antivirus for your phone? Check this Ten Antivirus for you r mobile phone...


Android is by far and away the most popular mobile operating system, being installed on the vast majority of devices out there, so it’s no surprise that the vast majority of mobile malware is targeted at Google’s OS. And often that malware is hidden inside bogus apps.

For this reason, by default most Android devices do not allow installation of software from unknown sources such as app stores outside of the officially sanctioned Google Play. You’re running big risks grabbing programs from such third-party stores.

At any rate, whatever software you use with your Android phone or tablet, you’d be wise to have an antivirus or a security app installed on your device. In this article, we’re going to highlight 10 of the best antivirus efforts.

Many of them do much more than run automatic scans, and they’ll actively try to prevent malicious web pages and files from being opened or downloaded in the first place.

1. AVL



AVL is a former winner of the AV-Test (a well-respected independent antivirus testing outfit) award for best protection of mobile devices. Its features include not only an antivirus database (of course) but a scanner capable of detecting any kind of executable file making its way onto your device.

Other handy features include a call blocker to prevent malicious numbers from contacting you, as well as an anti-phishing feature to stop harmful websites from loading in the first place. The app is also designed to be light on resources, which is always handy when you’re struggling for battery life.

You can download AVL here


2. Avast Mobile Security

Antivirus giant Avast has used its considerable skills to create an app which goes above and beyond a mundane scanner. Extra features in the free version include a call blocker, firewall and even an anti-theft measure allowing you to remotely lock or wipe your Android device if it goes missing.

The app used to be paid but is now free, supported by ads. You can pay a small monthly or yearly premium to remove these. Another very useful premium feature is ‘in-app locking’ whereby your device will ask for a PIN before opening certain apps. This prevents malware from launching apps such as internet banking automatically.

You can download Avast Mobile Security here

3. Bitdefender Antivirus Free

Bitdefender is a big name in the security community, and its free antivirus program is extremely lightweight. In fact, it doesn’t run in the background which frees up system resources, although this does mean you have to schedule scans or run them manually to be safe. This said, any new apps downloaded to your device are automatically scanned.

Another advantage of this app is that it’s ready to go as soon as it is installed – no additional configuration is required.

If you require extra security, sign up for a free 14-day trial of Bitdefender Mobile Security. This includes the basic antivirus as well as real-time protection for the Chrome browser and anti-theft features.

You can download Bitdefender Antivirus Free here

4. McAfee Security & Power Booster Free



 McAfee is another well-known name when it comes to antivirus software for the PC, and this Android app doesn’t disappoint. Besides the antivirus scanner itself, free features include tracking a lost device as well as locking and wiping it remotely. If your device is stolen, the app can even take a picture of the thief…

Other features include the ability to scan apps to check if they leak sensitive information, and lock them if necessary. McAfee will also block access to potentially malicious websites, as well as allow you to keep a blacklist of nuisance callers and texters.

The paid Premium version of the app allows you to remove ads and receive phone support.
You can download McAfee Security & Power Booster here

5. Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus



Kaspersky has a reputation up there with the big players likeBitdefender. The free version of its security app has some impressive features, and it’s very good at picking up on malware, with a detection rate of 99.9% according to AV-Test’s trials from last November.

Kaspersky Antivirus & Security will also try to block any malicious sites or links before you click through to them, preventing an infection from happening in the first place.

On downloading the app you’ll be given a free 30-day trial of Kaspersky Internet Security (it costs $14.95 a year thereafter – £9.99, or around AU$20). The premium version of the app has extra security features such as call and text filtering.

You can download Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus here

6. Sophos Free Antivirus and Security
Sophos’ free antivirus app has previously won the AV-Test award for best protection in 2015. Unlike other free scanners, Sophos doesn’t contain any adverts. It does, however, block websites with potentially spammy or illegal content.

Apps are scanned for malware or otherwise harmful content as they are installed and Sophos alerts you if they might leak any sensitive information. The antivirus scanner can be scheduled to scan files and folders periodically, and the malware database itself is updated daily.

The app also includes a handy QR code scanner which can be used to set up secure Wi-Fi connections. There’s also an authenticator that can generate one-time passwords for two-factor authentication.
You can download Sophos Free Antivirus and Security here

7. Norton Security and Antivirus

This free app from Norton was able to detect 100% of all Android malware when benchmarked by AV-Test a few months ago. The scanner is powered by Norton Mobile Insight and can detect viruses inside apps and files, then remove them automatically.

Other useful security features include the ability to lock your phone via an SMS message, or if the SIM card is removed. You can also choose to remotely lock your device if it goes missing (or have it locked after 10 unsuccessful attempts to enter the passcode).

The app comes with a 30-day trial of Norton Mobile Security which boasts extra features such as SafeWeb filtering that blocks malicious websites.

You can download Norton Security and Antivirus here

8. Trend Micro Mobile Security & Antivirus
Trend Micro’s effort not only scans new apps for malware, but prevents newly installed apps from accessing other programs, which can be useful for device admins and parents.

There’s also a built-in privacy scanner for Facebook which warns you if your profile settings are displaying sensitive personal information.

The free version includes a 7-day trial of premium features. These include a malware blocker which is capable of scanning apps before they are even installed to pre-emptively avoid any potential infection. There are also utilities for safe surfing, as well as call and text filtering.
You can download Trend Micro Mobile Security & Antivirus here

9. AhnLab V3 Mobile Security

This security app from South Korean AhnLab is not as famous as the others on this list, but nonetheless has very high detection rates for Android malware according to AV-Test (99.6%) and runs well even on older Android devices. Indeed, it has a built-in booster to help speed up your phone’s performance.

The app comes with a free 10-day trial of the anti-malware features which proactively search for vulnerabilities and warn you if apps could potentially leak sensitive personal information.

Other handy privacy features include a hidden gallery for personal photos and a privacy cleaner to securely clear your browsing history. Anti-theft measures include an alarm which kicks in if the device is reported lost or the SIM card is replaced. You can also remotely track, lock and wipe your device.
You can download AhnLab V3 Mobile Security here

10. Avira Antivirus Security

Avira’s mobile offering will not only scan files you download and content on your phone’s memory, but it can also scan external storage such as your SD card. Applications are rated using a privacy scale to help you easily decide how much they can be trusted with your data.

The integrated ‘Identity Safeguard’ regularly checks if the email addresses in your contacts list have been involved in any major data breaches. The app is controlled by a web-based management portal, which is extremely useful if you want to set up a common policy over multiple Android devices.

The premium version includes better support, automatic blocking of malicious websites, and more frequent updates.

For now i use 360 mobile security on my mobile phone only issue i got is the updates.

Trump: Time 'quickly running out' on North Korea

In the latest stop on his Asia tour, the US President tells China that "all nations must come together" against North Korea.

09:09, UK,Thursday 09 November 2017
Image:Donald Trump also spoke in South Korea about North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un

By Sharon Marris, News Reporter

Donald Trump has called on the Chinese President to put more pressure on North Korea.

Speaking at a business event in Beijing, Mr Trump said China could fix the problem of North Korea.

Tensions between Pyongyang and its US-allied neighbours have been high due to the reclusive country's determination to pursue nuclear weapons.

He said: "The US is committed to the complete and permanent de-nuclearisation of North Korea.

"China can fix this problem easily and quickly and I am calling on China and your great president to hopefully work on it very hard.

"If he works on it hard, it will happen, there's no doubt about it."

Image:Donald Trump says China needs to do more about North Korea

The US President's words come during an official tour of Asia, which has already taken in Japan and South Korea, and been dominated by the issue of North Korea.

Mr Trump told the Chinese: "All nations must come together to ensure this rogue regime cannot threaten the world with its nuclear weapons.

"Time is quickly running out.

"We must act fast and hopefully China will act faster and more effectively on this problem than anyone.

"I'm also calling on Russia to help rein in this this potentially very tragic situation."

While in South Korea, Mr Trump had offered North Koreans a "path towards a much better future", having urged the regime to "come to the table" and "make a deal" over its nuclear programme.

:: Analysis: Tour of Asia to test Trump's diplomatic skills

Speaking after Mr Trump, Mr Xi did not mention North Korea but in a later speech he said China would persist with the goal of denuclearising the Korean peninsula and solving the issue through talks.

Mr Xi focused instead on China's economic progress and made a promise to be more open and transparent.

He said he would be "unswervingly committed to reform and opening up".

He said that foreign companies doing business in China would find it "more open, more transparent and more orderly".

In his speech, Mr Trump had described the trading relationship between the two countries as "very one-sided" and "unfair".

Image:Donald Trump is in China as part of his Asian tour, with the next stop Vietnam

He said: "I don't blame China. After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? I give China credit.

"But in actuality I do blame past administrations for allowing this out of control trade deficit to take place and to grow.

"We have to fix this because it just doesn't work, for our great American companies and it doesn't work for our great American workers - it is just not sustainable."

Mr Trump's next stop is Vietnam on 10 November, where he will speak at the Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit.

The final stop on his tour is in the Philippines.
