| The International Space Station has sprung a leak Posted: 12 May 2017 06:18 AM PDT 
The International Space Station is old. The first pieces of it were sent into orbit almost two decades ago, and it's been under near constant construction and remodeling ever since, adding new components and expanding the craft's usefulness. But it's still old. We were reminded of that today when a much-anticipated spacewalk at the ISS was delayed due to an unfortunate malfunction: a water leak.
According to NASA, the leak was discovered just before two US astronauts — Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer — were scheduled to perform the 200th spacewalk at the International Space Station. The leak was found while the astronauts were waiting in the airlock, and was traced to the connection between an umbilical hose attached to Fischer's spacesuit and the ISS itself. The umbilical, which acts as the lifeline between the astronauts as the ISS, provides power to the batteries in their equipment and circulates oxygen. Thankfully, NASA has a contingency plan for just such an occurrence: ditching the troublesome hose and just using one, for both astronauts. Now, instead of each astronaut having a functioning connection to the spacecraft, they'll just trade off, handing the connector back and forth and utilizing backup battery power in their suits when not connected. NASA maintained that the actual spacesuits worn by the astronauts are "perfectly fine." Despite its age, the International Space Station still seems to have a lot of life left, and while some reports over the years suggested that the craft would be decommissioned sooner rather than later, NASA's recently penned deal with Boeing includes a commitment to maintain the ISS hardware through at least 2028.

| OnePlus 5’s final design may have just leaked Posted: 12 May 2017 08:27 AM PDT 
Android fans, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that a new leak may have just revealed the final design of the hotly anticipated new OnePlus 5, which is expected to be unveiled in the coming months. What's more, the source of the leak has a reasonably good track record. The bad news, however, is that the source of the leak himself admits that he is unsure of its authenticity. While the OnePlus 5 pictured in the supplied image does align well with what we've heard elsewhere, that obvious casts a somewhat dubious light on this new leak. Twitter user @mmddj_china has posted a number of leaks in the past that have turned out to be the real deal, and now he's back with a new potential leak focused on the upcoming OnePlus 5. As you'll recall, the OnePlus 5 is hotly anticipated not just because it is expected to offer specs that are in line with the Galaxy S8, but because it is expected to offer specs that are in line with the Galaxy S8 at a MUCH lower price point. According to the latest rumors, the phone will start at just $450. That means you'll get specs and performance that rival the Galaxy S8, which costs $750+. Just about everything there is to know about the OnePlus 5 has leaked at this point, but we're still not sure what the new "flagship killer" will look like. If @mmddj_china's latest leak is accurate, however, we might have just gotten our first look at the new OnePlus phone. 
The image above, which was posted to Twitter on Friday, shows what is believed to be a render of the OnePlus 5 in an OEM protective case. The leak aligns with earlier design rumors even though the source is unsure of its authenticity. We can see the phone's rumored dual-lens camera emerging from OnePlus' famous textured case, and the general shape of the phone is in line with what we've seen from OnePlus in the past. Sadly, not much else can be gleaned from this render, though the phone should be unveiled soon, so we don't have much longer to wait before it's made official.

Mr Giuliani, a lawyer, is currently an informal adviser on matters of security to the White House and played a leading role in Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

| India cool on Beijing summit as 'Silk Road' stirs unease Posted: 12 May 2017 03:43 AM PDT  By Sanjeev Miglani NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India is likely to be represented by local embassy staff or academics this weekend at a major gathering of leaders and ministers on China's "Silk Road" initiative, reflecting deep unease in New Delhi about the far-reaching project. India's main objection to China's plan to build ports, railways and power links across Asia and on to Europe is that the $57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a key part of the plan, runs through disputed Kashmir. The broader worry for India is that the "Belt and Road" initiative involving hundreds of billions of dollars over the coming decades will cement China's dominance over Asia, including India's neighborhood.
