The woman was taken into custody on Wednesday after investigators found a syringe containing breast milk and traces of morphine in her locker at Ulm University Hospital in southern Germany.   The babies, who were between one day and five weeks old and staying in the same hospital room, all suddenly developed breathing problems "at almost the same time" in the early hours of December 20, Ulm police chief Bernhard Weber said.   "Only because of immediate action taken by the staff could the five lives be saved," he told a press conference.   Doctors do not expect the infants to suffer any lasting harm.   The young nurse taken into custody has yet to be formally charged but faces five counts of attempted manslaughter and grievous bodily harm, Ulm prosecutor Christof Lehr told reporters.   She denies poisoning the babies, he added.   Hospital staff initially suspected the infants had caught an infection, "but this could be ...

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appealed to the President Donald Trump of the United States to reconsider the restriction placed on issuance of immigrant visa to Nigerians and instead punish ‘those in government who have failed in their duties”.   “I call on President Trump to consider adopting measures that individually target those in government who have failed in their duties, rather than target the entire Nigerian population,” he said on Saturday. By Atiku’s recommendation, Buhari and his ministers should be the target of the visa ban.   The Trump administration announced a new regime of visa restrictions which mostly affected those seeking permanent stay in their country on Friday. Apart from Nigeria, five other countries were also affected by the visa policy.   The US said it took the policy out of security concerns.   But while expressing his sadness over the inclusion of Nigeria among the countries affected by the vi...

The video doesn’t show a great deal more than what we’ve already seen in leaked photos and renders — we still can’t tell whether the phone is using a new form of “ultra-thin glass” from Samsung, for example. But if you’ve been wondering how the Z Flip might work out in practice, it may well be of interest. The phone does look like it might be quite a bit easier to slip into a pocket or handbag than pretty much anything else out there — except maybe Motorola’s similar upcoming Razr.   We’re expecting the Galaxy Z Flip to be announced at Samsung’s Unpacked event on February 11th in San Francisco. The main event for that event, however, should be the much-leaked Galaxy S20 flagship smartphone.   Microsoft may earn an Affiliate Commission if you purchase something through recommended links in this article

Facebook has agreed to pay $550m to users in Illinois who sued it over its storing of biometric data without consent. This allowed the social network to automatically tag photographs—and to build a vast database of facial recognition data. It also contravenes the state's privacy laws, reports the BBC:   The case has been ongoing since 2015, and the settlement was announced in its quarterly earnings. It comes as facial recognition use by the police, and in public spaces, comes under intense scrutiny. The lawsuit against Facebook was given the go-ahead in 2018 when a federal judge ruled it could be heard as a class action (group) case. The appeals court disagreed with Facebook's attempts to stop this, and in January the Supreme Court also declined to review its appeal.     Facebook made the facial recognition feature opt-in a few months after the state Supreme Court left them on the hook.   Mike Isaac at The New York Times reports a "major v...
