Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is seeking to modernize the system that helps refugees in Canada to make the process more efficient for government and less frustrating for families. Trudeau said during a meeting with a group of Syrian refugees and their sponsors Friday that he'd experienced frustrations from the inefficient system since his time as a member of parliament and that "significant improvements in the immigration system" were needed. "Because of this level of frustration that I've seen as an MP and because families live with, one of the things that we've committed to is actually properly resourcing our immigration system," said Trudeau. "Looking at how we can be much more computer-based so that you can see real-time updates and we don't have to hire someone to answer you and we can use modern technology." Piali Roy, a sponsor of six refugees, told Trudeau during the meeting that she'd experienced significant difficulty while trying to get information about a family member who had been left behind in Beirut.

Russian MPs have asked the state communications oversight agency to take action against the FIFA 17 video game for violating the country's law against gay propaganda. Communist MPs sent a letter to the communications oversight and state consumer protection agencies complaining that the popular EA Sports football game, which is rated all ages, "invites users to support the English football premier league's Rainbow Laces action, a massive campaign in support of LGBT", Izvestia newspaper reported. Premier League backs LGBT rainbow laces campaign for weekend's matches According to the 2013 law, such propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations can cause "harm to children's health and development", the letter said. The UK-based LGBT rights group Stonewall began the Rainbow Laces campaign last month to combat homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in football, noting that 72% of fans had heard anti-LGBT remarks at games over the past five years. Premier League matches and social media platforms have featured materials from the campaign.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to simplify and streamline our lives by automating routine tasks that distract us from our goals. This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators. Unfortunately, comparatively few of the devices currently deployed have been developed with an eye toward security, and as the DDoS attacks of late October 2016 have demonstrated, this oversight can have devastating, if not catastrophic results. In his session at 19th @ThingsExpo, Richard Blech, Chief Executive Officer at Secure Channels, explored the promise and the pitfalls inherent to IoT and offered a novel way of incorporating an effective security paradigm in which IoT "watchmen" monitor and maintain order within the IoT. Speaker Bio Richard Blech is Chief Executive Officer at Secure Channels Inc.

By now, you've probably heard the big news: The Last of Us Part II is coming. Developer Naughty Dog took to the stage at the PlayStation Experience (PSX) event in Anaheim, California on Saturday, confirming a sequel for its critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic adventure. We will return to the harrowing lives of Ellie and Joel as they seek to survive a nightmarish pandemic – and to take some sort of revenge. Little else is known about the game, but it's the manner of that announcement, and what else happened that night, that tells us a lot about where PlayStation – and the industry at large – is going. PSX is unlike any other corporate event in the games industry – it is equal parts video game expo, marketing conference and fan convention.

An Apple information website based in Japan said the company might have plans to bring out a'pure white' or'jet white' version of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The website cited the source as a'supplier'.

Apple appears to have confirmed that it is working on a self-driving car. The company has recognised the long-rumoured vehicle product for the first time, writing to US transport regulators to say that it was "excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation". The letter was written as a way for Apple to flag up to regulators that it was interested in getting involved with how they are developed. But far more importantly it signalled publicly that Apple is already working on such vehicles. In its facilities, JAXA develop satellites and analyse their observation data, train astronauts for utilization in the Japanese Experiment Module'Kibo' of the International Space Station (ISS) and develop launch vehicles 32/39 The robot developed by Seed Solutions sings and dances to the music during the Japan Robot Week 2016 at Tokyo Big Sight.

WhatsApp has reversed its plan to switch off support for older phones. The company has said that BlackBerry devices will be spared from the switch-off. But that will only last until July this year, when it will actually happen and WhatsApp will stop working on any phone running BlackBerry OS. WhatsApp announced earlier this year that it would be turning off support for older phones – including the iPhone 3GS, phones running Android 2.1 and 2.2 and many Nokias. It said that would happen at the end of the year, meaning that millions of phones would instantly lose access to one of the most popular apps in the world.

Driverless vehicles are not allowed on public roads in Japan, but Nissan has found a way to put them to work nonetheless. Each day, some 1,000 cars go on the approximately 1 one mile trip from the factory to the ship, and then into its belly. In Oppama, fully autonomous LEAF cars pull three flatbed trailers each, on the trailers are the cars. The whole assembly weighs between send and eight tons, but the little LEAF masters it with aplomb. Due to the heavy weight, battery consumption is quite high.

The automaker thinks the technology will, in the long run, save costs and boost efficiency. The tests also can add to knowledge needed to take such autonomous driving onto public roads. Nissan executive Haruhiko Yoshimura said the automaker hoped to use the technology throughout the Oppama plant by 2019, and in overseas plants in the future. During a demonstration Monday, a Leaf car with no one inside scooted along the road, pulling a trailer with three other Leafs on it, stopped properly for other vehicles, and then veered into a parking lot. But one vehicle ran into trouble, refused to move and was not able to take part in the demonstration.
