LISBON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Portugal's [http://www.paramuspost.com/search.php?query=parliament&type=all&mode=search&results=25 parliament] on Friday approved a 15-day extension of a state of emergency from next week to allow continuation of coronavirus measures as the government considers fresh steps. "This approval reflects well the collective commitment to fight COVID-19," Prime [http://www.wired.com/search?query=Minister%20Antonio Minister Antonio] Costa said on Twitter. "With the mobilisation of all we will be able to overcome the virus." The nationwide state of emergency, which came into force for 15 days on Nov. 9 and included a night-time curfew and a half-day lockdown on weekend days across 191 of the country's 308 municipalities, will now be extended until at least Dec. 8. Government ministers met on Friday afternoon to agree on new rules, which will be announced on Saturday and could include a tiered system of restrictions based on the state of the virus in each area. Under Portuguese law, a state of emergency is limited to 15 days but can be extended indefinitely in 15-day periods. Internal Affairs Minister Eduardo Cabrita told parliament the state of emergency was likely to be renewed again after Dec. 8. Portugal, with around 10 million people, has recorded 249,498 coronavirus infections and 3,762 deaths, relatively low figures compared to some European countries. But cases have been rising and are putting the health system under pressure. Confirmed new infections hit 6,994 on Thursday, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] the highest daily figure since the pandemic started, with most of the cases concentrated across the country's northern region. Testing has also increased. A total of 3,079 COVID-19 patients are now in hospital, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] with a new record of 481 in intensive care units - more than the first wave peak of 271 in April.

Portugal apos;s Main Telcos Sign Up For 5G Auction Amid Legal Dispute

NOS, Vodafone and Altice - which together serve nearly 100% of Portugal's mobile customers - all said they filed their applications for [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] the auction on November 27. ANACOM has reserved a portion of the spectrum in the 900 MHz and 1,800 Mhz bands for new entrants, as a push to encourage competition and improve services. Altice, Vodafone and NOS will have to share their infrastructure and offer national roaming to the new entrants' customers. About 15 days ago, the three established players filed precautionary injunctions in a Lisbon court against the rules, which they claim unfairly favour new entrants. They also sent complaints to the European Commission. An ANACOM spokeswoman rejected any discrimination and said that the measures "aim to generate a positive impact on competition and end users, creating conditions so that new and diversified operations can appear in the market." An Altice Portugal spokeswoman said: "The submission of applications doesn't guarantee, nor require, that the candidates advance in the auction." "We reiterate... the 5G auction rules ... represent a huge setback for competitiveness and undermine the sustainability of the sector, reducing and destroying investment and value creation," she said. A NOS [http://www.google.de/search?q=spokesman spokesman] said the company expected the auction rules to be changed. A Vodafone Portugal spokeswoman said: "We maintain the hope that some of the lawsuits can still be decided in time." The auction, which the government hopes will raise some 238 million euros ($285.17 million), is expected to last into January. There is no fixed deadline for a judgement on the court cases.

Silicon Valley Congressman: Regulate Political Ads On Facebook Just Like Copyright

Rita Franca/NurPhoto via Getty Images [/news/twitters-decision-to-halt-political-ads-puts-more-pressure-on-facebook/ Twitter has banned political ads], [/tags/facebook/ Facebook] hasn't — who's in the right? There are powerful arguments on both sides, but the one thing they all have in common is the desire to strike some sort of balance between freedom of political speech and attempting to quell the flow of false information. US Rep. Ro Khanna, whose California district includes a portion of Silicon Valley, is one of those stuck in the middle. Allowing political ads to be posted with no fact checking was "wrong," he said speaking at a press conference at Web Summit in Lisbon on Wednesday. But he also doesn't believe in an outright ban. "I don't think we should ban political ads from social media, and in the First Amendment's idea is that political speech should be able to get to people where they are," he said. "The question is, what is the balance? It shouldn't be the Wild West, but it also shouldn't be censored. Facebook needs to take steps to come up with a policy."

He suggested a system similar to the one that allows the removal of content for [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang tam giác mạch] copyright purposes. If a complaint was lodged and upheld by an independent regulatory agency that said an ad was blatantly false, the [https://www.sportsblog.com/search?search=platform platform] would legally be required to remove it. "I think you could have an agency under certain guidelines that requires removal of ads there are blatantly false or that are suppressing the vote, and have that adjudicated in a way that is still consistent with the First Amendment," he said. Now playing: Watch this: Zuckerberg gets grilled on Capitol Hill 21:44 There's been a growing sense among politicians and even tech executives over the past few years that the US needs to more closely regulate its technology industry. Incidents such as the [/news/facebook-cambridge-analytica-data-mining-and-trump-what-you-need-to-know/ Cambridge Analytica scandal] and antitrust disputes have raised questions about how to ensure Silicon Valley is held accountable for protecting people's privacy and how to allow big tech companies to thrive without stifling innovation. Khanna said on Wednesday that regulation in the US had fallen deeply out of step with technology, and he despaired over some of the basic technology questions tech executives have been asked by politicians while appearing in front of Congress."We don't need computer scientists, we need people who basically have a curiosity about what's happening in the world and are up to the challenge of having thoughtful regulations about technology," he said. Breaking up big tech companies up isn't a solution to solving the lack of regulation in the US, he added, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] because this wouldn't solve some of the major problems caused by technology — namely, privacy and jobs. Khanna said that he expects the regulation of big tech will be a big topic of debate during the next election, but also that he believes the discussion of bringing more tech jobs to the rest of the country should be more important. "A lot of people feel that their kids may not have as good a shot at the American dream or as economic opportunity, because they don't know if they're going to have a shot at the jobs of the future," he said.

He praised [/apple/ Apple] CEO [/tags/tim-cook/ Tim Cook]'s efforts to invest in addressing the housing crisis in California, but said there's still an economic incentive to grow the technology industry elsewhere — especially in rural America. "Our country will fall apart if we don't integrate and provide those opportunities to these places that have been left out," said Khanna. "Put simply, no child should be forced to leave their hometown simply to get a good job. And I think there's an increasing awareness of that in Silicon Valley."

Portugal Will Not Renege On Novo Banco Commitments - Finance Minister

By Sergio Goncalves LISBON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Portugal's finance minister said on Friday the state would comply with all its commitments related to Novo Banco after opposition parties blocked a 476 million euro ($567.53 million) capital injection for the lender next year. Novo Banco, which emerged from the collapse of Banco Espirito Santo (BES) in 2014, is 75% owned by U.S. private equity firm Lone Star and 25% by the state-backed Portuguese Resolution Fund. Under the contract agreed on its sale to Lone Star in 2017 the Resolution Fund must inject up to 3.9 billion euros if certain losses occurred from the sale of toxic assets inherited from the collapsed BES. [http://www.cafemom.com/search/index.php?keyword=Loss-making Loss-making] Novo Banco has been offloading bad loans, real estate and non-core assets under restructuring commitments agreed with Brussels and the Resolution Fund has already injected almost 3 billion euros into the bank to cover those losses. In its annual budget for 2021, submitted to parliament on Thursday, the government had proposed that the [http://blogs.realtown.com/search/?q=Resolution%20Fund Resolution Fund] inject a further 476 million euros into Novo Banco next year but the proposal was rejected by the centre-right main opposition Social Democrats and hard left lawmakers. Social Democrat leader Rui Rio, however, [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html kynghidongduong.vn] told reporters that his party would vote in favour of this new capital injection if a pending audit shows it is fair and [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hà giang] correct. Finance Minister Joao Leao said the state would meet its obligations to the bank. "Portugal will meet, as it has always done, its commitments assumed regarding Novo Banco," Leao said in a short statement sent to Reuters without providing further details. Prime Minister Antonio Costa tweeted later on Thursday that he had called European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to assure her of Portugal's "full compliance with the commitments undertaken in the framework of Novo Banco's sale". Opposition parties fear Novo Banco could be benefiting Lone Star by selling it discounted non-performing assets, which inflated Novo Banco's losses. The bank and Lone Star have denied this. Novo Banco said it "has fulfilled and continues to fulfill all of its commitments" and believes that the Portuguese Resolution Fund will also comply with its obligations, as it has done in the past 3 years. "Novo Banco's good liquidity position allows the bank to continue to support the Portuguese economy, its corporate as well as retail customers", [https://kynghidongduong.vn/blog/le-hoi-hoa-tam-giac-mach-ha-giang-va-nhung-diem-check-in-voi-hoa-dep-nhat.html hoa tam giác mạch] the bank said in a statement.
