‘ The Walking Dead ’ Recap: Season 6, Episode 10, ‘The New World’ ‘The Walking Dead’ Recap: Season 6, Episode 10, ‘The New World’ There’s a new power couple in Alexandria. “The New World,” this week’s episode of “The Walking Dead,” was so different tonally from its predecessor, “No Way Out,” you could be forgiven if you thought you were watching a completely different zombie show.

Airstrikes hit two Syrian hospitals, with Turkey condemning ‘obvious war crime’ The prospect of even a temporary truce in Syria seemed as distant as ever on Monday, as violence continued unabated across much of the country with hospitals in two towns apparently being bombed by forces supporting Bashar al-Assad, days after Russia denied it was targeting civilians in its aerial campaign. The attacks highlighted the fragility of a deal agreed last week in Munich for a “cessation of hostilities” and the impact on civilians of an unforgiving air war led by the Kremlin that has helped consolidate Assad’s position and exacerbated the misery of the five-year conflict, driving tens of thousands out of their homes towards the Turkish border. The bombardment of a hospital is a too-frequent ‘accident’.

Everyone in the wireless industry agrees that 5G is coming by the end of the decade. But what will it be used for? That’s still up in the air. Nokia on Tuesday previewed a demonstration it plans to present at Mobile World Congress later this month, detailing its vision for 5G. Nokia’s 5G forecast includes some surprising capabilities: 5G will make cars safer to drive. It will make instant replay more instant. And doctors will be able to perform surgery using wirelessly controlled robots.. And, yes, 5G will be much faster. Faster speeds Nokia (NOK), aiming to be one of the world’s biggest 5G players, claims that it has tested a 5G connection with download speeds of 30 gigabits per second.
