Apple says it is to change the default settings of its iPhone to stop hackers and others unlocking devices without proper legal authorisation.

The move will also make it more difficult for police to unlock handsets without authorisation.

However, Apple denied the changes were designed to thwart US law enforcement.

The company has been a prominent opponent of US legislation to force technology companies to maintain access to users' communications.

The loophole also applies to countries outside the US, including the UK.

Police forces say that being able to unlock iPhones and iPads is crucial to their work.

But in 2016 Apple refused to help police unlock a phone used by a gunman who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California.

San Bernardino phone hack 'cost FBI more than $1m'

FBI pressured on cost of iPhone hack tool

"We're constantly strengthening the security protections in every Apple product to help customers defend against hackers, identity thieves and intrusions into their personal data," Apple said in a statement.

"We have the greatest respect for law enforcement, and we don't design our security improvements to frustrate their efforts to do their jobs."

The changes to the default settings of the iPhone are intended to stop unauthorised access to the phones via the USB port.

In 2016, a court order demanded that Apple help the FBI unlock the phone used by San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook.

The company resisted and the FBI eventually paid experts to develop technology that unlocked the phone.

The FBI has never named the security firm or group of hackers who did the work.

Indian wildlife enthusiasts and forest officials have been trying to rescue a rare bird whose beak has been trapped shut by a plastic ring.

The black-necked stork was first spotted with the ring around its beak in a wetland outside the capital Delhi by a group of bird watchers on 7 June.

They believe the bird can drink water but say the ring is preventing it from opening its beak further to eat.

Rescuers are hoping to catch it before it starves to death.

"It has to be weak enough so that it doesn't fly away but if it gets too weak it will die," Pankaj Gupta, a bird watcher and member of the Delhi Bird Foundation, who has been involved with the rescue mission, told the BBC.

Mr Gupta said the ring, which he thinks could be from a bottle cap, is likely to have slipped onto the stork's beak when it was hunting in the water and then got stuck there.

The stork was first photographed with the ring by Manoj Nair, another bird watcher, who sent the photo to Mr Gupta. Mr Gupta and his colleagues shared the photo widely, which led to a rescue mission being assembled.

Efforts to save the stork are being led by members of the Bombay Natural History Society, an organisation that specialises in conservation, with help from local forest officials.

Mr Gupta, who had been in the field with the team until Monday, said they had first tried to build traps with nets but the stork had managed to fly away each time. So they have now decided to use nets made of bamboo and glue to catch it.

Black-necked stork, according to Mr Gupta, are classified as "near-threatened" and are native to parts of India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. But only 50-60 of these birds are found in the marshy regions outside Delhi. They thrive in wetlands where they hunt fish and snails.

This particular stork was "massive", Mr Gupta said. He believed it could roam across 15-20 sq km (5-7 seven sq miles), an area that roughly spans three different wetlands.

Although it was first seen in the Basai wetland, about 34 kilometres from Delhi, the rescue mission is under way in another wetland nearby, where the bird was spotted after that.

The Basai wetland has been in the news recently after bird watchers and local environmentalists challenged a government plan to build a factory there for recycling construction waste.

"The factory is good for the environment but why choose a wetland to build it?" Mr Gupta told the BBC.

The national environment tribunal will now decide if Basai should officially be recognised as a protected wetland.

Mr Gupta and his colleagues hope the plight of the stork will also help the cause of the wetland.

The Pentagon has reassured allies of its "ironclad" security commitments, after President Donald Trump cancelled its Korean military exercises.

Mr Trump made the announcement after Tuesday's historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore.

The move is seen as a big concession to North Korea and appeared to take US allies in the region by surprise.

Meanwhile, North Korean state media said Mr Kim had accepted an offer from President Trump to visit the US.

KCNA news agency said Mr Kim had invited Mr Trump to visit Pyongyang "at a convenient time" and Mr Trump had also invited Mr Kim to the United States.

"The two top leaders gladly accepted each other's invitation," KCNA added.

In his first reported comments since the talks, Mr Kim said it was "urgent" to halt "irritating and hostile military actions against each other".

He said the two countries "should commit themselves to refraining from antagonising" each other "and take legal and institutional steps to guarantee it", KCNA reported.

How the summit unfolded

Kim is a 'funny guy' - analysing Trump's quotes

How many dead US soldiers are in North Korea?

The Kim-Trump summit - the first such meeting between the two countries - centred on nuclear disarmament and reducing regional tensions. It concluded with a one-page agreement.

In the press conference afterwards, however, Mr Trump added another announcement: the cancellation of the military exercises.

The drills, often called "war games", are held in South Korea with local forces and US soldiers stationed there.

Mr Trump also said he wanted to bring US troops home - although he did not specify a timeframe.

He said the drills were "provocative" - even though the US has previously defended them - and there were suggestions that US allies had not been forewarned of this move.

South Korea's Presidential Blue House said it needed "to find out the precise meaning or intentions" of Mr Trump's statement.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in spoke by phone with Mr Trump for 20 minutes late on Tuesday, but an official readout of the call made no mention of military exercises, according to Reuters.

Did the Pentagon know?

The previous day US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters he did not believe that troop levels were on the agenda. When asked if he would know if such discussions were planned, he said, "Yeah, I sure would."

However, the Pentagon has since denied that Mr Mattis was caught off guard. He was consulted ahead of time, said Pentagon spokesperson Dana White.

In a statement sent to the BBC, she said: "Our alliances remain ironclad, and ensure peace and stability in the region."

What else has Donald Trump said?

In a flurry of tweets later on Tuesday, Mr Trump said there was "no limit" to what North Korea could achieve if it gave up its nuclear weapons.

He thanked Mr Kim for "taking the first bold step toward a bright new future for his people" and said the world had taken "a big step back from potential nuclear catastrophe".

What are the war games?

The US maintains around 30,000 troops in South Korea and once a year it brings in others - typically from its Pacific base in Guam - to join large-scale drills.

Full text of the signed statement

Did the summit rhetoric match reality?

The summit's oddest moments

North Korea sees the annual exercises as a rehearsal for invasion, but the government in Seoul maintains they are defensive in nature.

Mr Trump said scrapping them will save a "tremendous amount of money", but he added that they could be reinstated if co-operation from the North declines.

What else did they agree at the summit?

The summit began with a handshake, unimaginable just months ago.

Mr Trump and Mr Kim - who traded vicious insults last year - gripped each other's hands in front of US and North Korean flags.

After a one-on-one meeting, followed by wider talks with advisers and a working lunch, they presented their agreement.

It said the two countries would co-operate towards "new relations", while the US would provide "security guarantees" to North Korea.

Mr Kim also "reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula".

Observers say the document lacks substance, in particular on how denuclearisation would be achieved.

However, speaking to reporters after, Mr Trump said:

Mr Kim had agreed to denuclearisation being "verified", a key US demand ahead of the meeting

Mr Trump said Mr Kim had also agreed to destroy a "major missile engine testing site"

But he said sanctions would remain in place for now and argued "we haven't given up anything".

Several reporters asked whether Mr Trump had raised the issue of human rights with Mr Kim, who runs a totalitarian regime with extreme censorship and forced-labour camps.

Missed chance to discuss human rights, says defector

How many dead US soldiers in N Korea?

Who was Trump's nuclear uncle?

The US president said he had, and repeated his description of Mr Kim as "talented".

Politics turned upside down
Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America reporter
Two years ago Barack Obama travelled to Cuba - and was roundly denounced by conservatives for breaking bread with totalitarian leaders and praised by liberals for his statesmanship. Now, with Donald Trump's summit with Kim Jong-un, the tables have been turned. Mostly.

On conservative Fox News and among Mr Trump's core supporters, the president was lauded for a historic diplomatic breakthrough. Among Democrats, there was more than a fair amount of concern that the president was engaging in a glorified publicity stunt with little chance of success.

Republicans in Congress have been more measured. There was plenty of talk of "historic first steps", in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's words, but concern over how the yet-to-be negotiated verification details will turn out.

A few other conservatives expressed dismay at seeing the US and North Korean flags side-by-side, and viewed Mr Trump's solicitous manner and warm words for Mr Kim as too much, given his nation's history of human rights violations.

"Needless to say, we would've wrecked Obama for doing this," tweeted conservative blogger Allahpundit.

Tuesday was the latest reminder that in just 16 months, US - and international - politics have been turned upside down.

US reassurance after Korea war games halt

Chechnyan leader Ramzan Kadyrov used Mohamed Salah for "political capital" by being pictured with the Egypt star, says an anti-discrimination chief.

Egypt's World Cup base is in the former war-torn Russian republic, where Kadyrov's regime has been criticised for alleged human rights abuses.

Piara Powar, of Fare Network, said Fifa had made a "big mistake" in allowing Chechnya to host a training base.

Kadyrov defended his human rights record to the BBC earlier this year.

Speaking in January, he insisted all reports of extrajudicial killings and torture of gay people in Chechnya were "made up".

Football's world governing body Fifa has always maintained its commitment to protecting human rights and earlier this year said it had "no grounds to believe that the choice of the Egyptian FA to locate its base camp in Grozny will cause particular adverse human rights impacts".

Ramzan Kadyrov: Putin's key Chechen ally

BBC country profile: Chechnya

But Powar, executive director of Fare Network, told BBC sports editor Dan Roan: "We have raised concerns about Chechnya being a training base for a long time.

"If you know Kadyrov and follow the way he runs the region then you knew at some point he was going to try to gain some political capital, and I think he's done that.

"The allegations flying around about how gay Chechens have been tortured and killed, their families persecuted, this is not a good moment a day or two before the World Cup kicks off.

"It exemplifies the dangers of coming to places where human rights are at risk and not valued in the way they should be valued. I think Fifa have made a big mistake here allowing that training ground to be situated in Chechnya."

And Amnesty International said the photo with Salah was "pure sportswashing".

Allan Hogarth, Amnesty's head of policy and government affairs, added: "Ramzan Kadyrov was always going to see Mo Salah as a walking photo-opportunity, but Liverpool and Egypt football fans should look at the reality behind this cheerful-looking photograph.

"During Kadyrov's authoritarian rule in Chechnya there have been a stream of reports of enforced disappearance, of detainees being tortured and even extrajudicial executions.

"Journalists, those perceived to be gay and anyone pursuing human rights activism is at acute risk in Chechnya. A smiling photo with Mo Salah isn't going to wash away Ramzan Kadyrov's sinister human rights record."

Campaign group Human Rights Watch has lobbied Fifa over its decision to allow Chechnya to host a training camp for the World Cup.

Salah still doubtful for opener

Salah remains a doubt to face Uruguay in Egypt's World Cup opener on Friday, says the country's football association.

The Liverpool forward, 25, sustained a shoulder injury following a challenge by Sergio Ramos during his side's defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final last month.

"He is gradually getting better but I cannot confirm he will play in the first match," said Egyptian FA managing director Ehab Lehita.

"All I can say is that we hope he will play in this match."

Viet Nam News

HÀ NỘI - Smoking now claims over 100 lives in Việt Nam every day and the number is expected to nearly double in 2030.

The data is reckoned by the Việt Nam Tobacco Control Fund under the Ministry of Health.

According to the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), conducted by the ministry and the General Statistics Office in 2015, 53.5 per cent of non-smokers, equal to 28.5 million of adults were exposed to tobacco smoke at home, and 36.8 per cent of non-smokers, who worked indoors, equal to 5.9 million of adult, were exposed to tobacco smoke at the workplace.

In the meantime, another statistics of the ministry showed that it is estimated about 60.7 per cent of students started smoking at the age of 7-13.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said that non-communicable diseases contribute to 73 percent of all deaths countrywide. Tobacco use is one of the major causes.

Medical experts said tobacco smoking is a leading factor causing an increasing risk of contracting heart-related diseases. The increase is proportional to the amount of tobacco and the smoking time.

It costs the country's smokers a total of VNĐ31 trillion (US$1.36 billion) each year. In addition to the cost of smoking, the total cost of treatment and damage due to illness and premature death for 5 groups (lung cancer, gastrointestinal-respiratory cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart attack, and stroke) caused by smoking over VNĐ23 trillion (about $1 billion) per year.

Risks for pregnant women

According to the United States' Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking during pregnancy causes additional health problems, including premature birth (being born too early), certain birth defects, and infant death.

Smoking makes it harder for a woman to get pregnant. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely than other women to have a miscarriage. Smoking can cause problems with the placenta-the source of the baby's food and oxygen during pregnancy. For example, the placenta can separate from the womb too early, causing bleeding, which is dangerous to the mother and baby.

Smoking during pregnancy can cause a baby to be born too early or to have low birth weight-making it more likely the baby will be sick and have to stay in the hospital longer. A few babies may even die.

Smoking during and after pregnancy is a risk factor of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is an infant death for which a cause of the death cannot be found.

Babies born to women who smoke are more likely to have certain birth defects, like a cleft lip or cleft palate.

Nicotine is a health danger for pregnant women and developing babies and can damage a developing baby's brain and lungs.

The world's lowest price

Việt Nam is among world's top 15 countries with the lowest tobacco prices with a pack of cigarette is sold at the prices of VNĐ6,000-20,000 (24 cents-88cents).

Experts believe the low price of tobacco products is the main cause leading to its widespread use.

The tax on tobacco products in the country currently is quite low compared to other countries, about 35-40 per cent of retail price while the world average rate is 56 per cent and much lower than the WHO's suggested 70 per cent.

In response to the situation, the Ministry of Finance proposed two plans to raise tax on tobacco at a meeting held early May.

The first plan is to collect the special consumption tax of VNĐ1,000 (4 cents) per pack of 20 cigarettes and VNĐ10,000 (44 cents) per cigar from 2020. In the second plan, the special consumption tax will increase as in the roadmap from 75 per cent to 80 per cent in 2020 and 85 per cent in 2021.

However, many experts said the rate is still low. They suggested that the additional charge should be VNĐ2,000-5,000 (11-22 cents) per pack of 20 cigarettes.

Phan Thị Hải, deputy director of the Tobacco Consequences Prevention Fund under the Ministry of Health, said the ministry agreed with the suggested additional charge.

Đào Thế Sơn, a lecture of the Hà Nôi-based Commercial University, by increasing tax to VNĐ5,000 per cigarette pack, Việt Nam can stop 1.8 million people from smoking, prevent 900,000 smoking-related early deaths and get VNĐ10.7 trillion ($470 million) in the State budget each year.

In addition to raising tobacco tax to reduce the number of smokers in the country, authorised agencies have also launched supporting programmes to help smokers in quitting tobacco. For example, Hà Nội-based Bạch Mai Hospital and HCM City-based Gia Định Hospital have run hotlines to give advice for thousands of smokers in an attempt to quit tobacco for several recent years.

The programmes have shown initial positive results.

In another movement, the health ministry organised a meeting to mark the World No Tobacco Day (May 31) and National No Tobacco Week in Đà Nẵng (May 25-31) in Đà Nẵng City last week. -VNS

HÀ NỘI - Koreans and Americans living in and visiting Việt Nam watched with baited breath as one of the most important historic moments in international relations was broadcast to the world.

US President Donald Trump met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un meet in Singapore Tuesday morning.

A handshake for the cameras, then the pair disappeared for what has been described as the meeting of the century.

It is the first time in history a sitting American President has ever met his North Korean counterpart.

Here in Việt Nam, many were glued to their television sets and mobile devices at 8am as the meeting began.

Businessman An Sung Gu said he felt very happy as watched, having never imagined in his life he would see such a sight.

"I was very very very happy to watch this kind of big event," he said.

"This historical summit. After the cease fire of the Korean war more than 50 years ago, in that period nobody imagined we can see this kind of historical summit.

"But today all these things already happened between an American leader and a North Korean leader - meeting each other in Singapore and talking about peace.

"We Koreans are very happy. We can see that we will have some peace in the Korean Peninsula in the future."

Meanwhile Americans vacating in the capital were also delighted.

"I think it's actually really great," said tourist Shakira Crespo.

"It's about time our countries are talking together and hopefully will come to some agreements. It's a great thing. A historical moment right now.

"Hopefully it means that we can do more business with more countries here in Asia. I love the relationship that we have with others, like Việt Nam and I'm hoping that we will be able to do more business with another country."

Fellow American Randy Case added: "Six months ago it didn't work very good between North Korea and the world - along the United States.

"So I'm excited. I think it's the first step - it's gonna be a long process. I just hope that neither of them are sticky and trying to get one-up on the other. I just hope it's honest, I hope they're real, and they're trying to do what they say they're doing in public." - VNS

Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have become the first sitting US president and North Korean leader to meet, an unprecedented development after a year of exchanging threats.

The pair shook hands at a luxury hotel on Singapore's Sentosa island before proceeding to talks.

After the summit the leaders signed a "comprehensive" document, promising a new relationship between the nations.

They had been discussing defusing tensions and nuclear disarmament.

The document commits North Korea to work towards "the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula" and promises "new relations" between Washington and Pyongyang.

The US had demanded "complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation".

Diplomacy on a plate: What did they eat?

Trump-Kim summit explained

There was also a commitment to build "a stable and lasting peace" on the Korean peninsula.

"I think both sides will be very impressed with the result," Mr Trump said at a signing ceremony with Mr Kim.

The US president said more details would be provided at a press conference due shortly.

Mr Trump spoke of a "special bond" with the North Korean leader and said he was "absolutely" willing to invite him to the White House.

"We've decided to leave the past behind," Mr Kim said. "The world will see major changes."

Still, analysts remain divided on what the summit will ultimately achieve. Some see it as a propaganda win for Mr Kim, others a potential path to peace.

Details are thin - but it's a start
Analysis: Laura Bicker, BBC News, Singapore
The agreement the two sides have signed is vague and lacking in detail. It only commits the US and North Korea to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

There is no mention that the process should be verifiable or irreversible - which is what the US has been pushing for. There is no timetable to disarm North Korea nor is there any invitation for weapons inspectors to be allowed in.

The US has said it will provide security guarantees without specifying what that might mean - or if that could involve the removal of some American troops based in South Korea. The two sides have promised to hold follow up talks and work on efforts to build a lasting peace regime.

This could eventually result in a treaty to end the near 70-year war. It is at least a start. Something to build on.

How the historic moment unfolded

The summit began with a striking image, unimaginable just months ago.

The two men walked towards each other and firmly gripped each other's hands in front of US and North Korean flags.

Mr Trump patted Mr Kim's arm as they stood on red carpet and exchanged a few words before turning to face the gathered press.

"I feel really great. We're going to have a great discussion and will be tremendously successful," the US president said.

Sitting alongside each other, ahead of a one-on-one meeting, the pair appeared relaxed against the odds.

"It was not easy to get here," Mr Kim said. "There were obstacles but we overcame them to be here," and his counterpart responded "That's true."

North Korean crisis in 300 words

'Stop romanticising a dictator'

Singapore's taxi drivers on the summit

The two men, accompanied only by interpreters, spoke for a little under 40 minutes. They were then joined by small delegations of advisors for a working lunch.

From Washington the group included US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and security adviser John Bolton, and on Pyongyang's side, Mr Kim's "right-hand man" and former spy chief Kim Yong-chol, and foreign minister Ri Yong-ho.

Over lunch they shared a mix of Western and Korean dishes, including stuffed cucumbers and Daegu jorim, a soy-braised fish dish.

What does this mean for each man?

The unprecedented event carries great potential prestige for each leader - but also, in the long run, a possibly catastrophic loss of face.

For the moment Mr Trump will credit any successful outcome of talks to his "maximum pressure" campaign on North Korea, that tightened economic sanctions and threatened military action. Many believe that no matter what is achieved this will be the narrative.

For Mr Kim, securing a stage with the US leader is seen as a victory in itself, something which neither his father or grandfather could achieve.

Such a meeting has long been seen as a prize in the eyes of North Korea for the legitimacy it would confer on its leader.

Kim's journey from outcast to statesman

For decades, North Korea has been a pariah state, and now its latest hereditary leader is being treated as a world statesman.

Last year, it would have been a rare sight to see a North Korean flag flying anywhere in Asia.

Now, Mr Kim - who runs a totalitarian regime with extreme censorship and forced-labour camps - is meeting and greeting dignitaries.

Kim: The new kid on the diplomatic block

North Korea's sidelined human rights crisis

On the eve of the summit, Mr Kim toured Singapore's tourist sites, waving to excited crowds and snapped a selfie with the city state's foreign minister.

Tuesday's front page of North Korea's official newspaper featured the extraordinary scenes on display in Singapore, offering many in the country an unprecedented glimpse of their leader in a setting utterly at odds with their daily life.

How did we get here?

This is an outcome that seemed unimaginable less than a year ago - when Mr Trump and Mr Kim exchanged streams of fiery insults - and North Korea conducted several ballistic missile tests in defiance of the international community.

Who's pulling the strings of the N Korea breakthrough?

Who are Kim's running bodyguards?

How well has Trump prepared for Singapore?

Mr Trump famously vowed to unleash "fire and fury" if Pyongyang kept threatening the US. Meanwhile, Mr Kim has called Mr Trump "mentally deranged" and a "dotard".

But earlier this year North Korea showed a new openness to diplomacy and held direct talks with Seoul. The rapid improvement in relations between the North and South Korea - technically still at war - culminated with a historic leaders' summit in April.

During this warming of relations between the two Koreas, Mr Trump stunned the world by accepting an invitation to meet Mr Kim.
