YouTube to pay more for music in Europe www.rt.com

New copyright rules proposed by the European Union will force video sites such as YouTube to pay more to musicians and record companies who have been complaining of lost revenue from piracy.
Read more
Reuters / Mario Anzuoni Linking to free stuff is not piracy, EU rules
The new rules are aimed at reinforcing the position of rights holders with producers required to tell authors what profits their works have generated. The guidelines are still to be approved by the European Parliament and Council of Ministers.
 
"I want journalists, publishers and authors to be paid fairly for their work, whether it is made in studios or living rooms, whether it is disseminated offline or online, whether it is published via a copying machine or commercially hyperlinked on the web," said the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker during his annual ‘State of the Union’ address.
 
According to the European Commission, YouTube and other sites such as Dailymotion would have an “obligation to deploy effective means such as technology to automatically detect songs or audiovisual works.”
 
UK Music, the body which represents the British music industry, said this week that YouTube, the most popular music site in the UK, was still not paying artists enough for their music.
 
The Google-owned site has "yet to deliver fair financial returns for rights owners and creators, artists, composers, songwriters and publishers," UK Music said.
 
YouTube which carries videos and audio content makes money by selling advertising and then divides profits among rights owners. It claims it has paid out over £2.3 billion to the music industry so far.

Uber starts self-driving test on public roads www3.nhk.or.jp

US ride-sharing service Uber has launched a trial involving self-driving cars traveling along public roads in Pennsylvania.
 
The company has released footage showing a fleet of vehicles equipped with sensors. People are sitting in the drivers' seat but are not moving the steering wheel.
 
Uber is developing the technology jointly with US carmaker Ford and Sweden's Volvo.
Company officials say autonomous cars will help prevent accidents and ease traffic congestion.
 
They plan to continue the trial having people within reach of the controls for the time being to ensure safety, as the technology is still at an early stage.

Singapore Airlines drops Airbus A380 plane www.bbc.com

Singapore Airlines has decided not to keep the first A380 it leased, delivering a fresh setback for Airbus' super-jumbo plane.
Singapore Airlines was the launch customer for the two-deck jet in 2007.
The airline has decided not to renew the A380 plane when the ten-year contract expires next year.
The news comes after Airbus more than halved its delivery target for the A380, raising fears it could slip back to making a loss from the aircraft.
A Singapore Airlines spokesperson said: "Our first five A380s are on 10-year leases, with options to extend. The first expires in October 2017, and we have decided not to extend it.
"For the other four, decisions will be made later."
But they added the airline had orders for five separate A380s with Airbus, which will start being delivered in the second half of 2017.
The A380 only began breaking even for Airbus last year.
In July, Airbus said it would still avoid losing money on the jet in 2017 with as few as 20 deliveries, but gave no further guidance.
Analysts says that big aircraft like the A380 and Boeing's 747 series have fallen out of favour.
Smaller jets can be more profitable as they are easier to fill and are cheaper to operate, analysts say.

iPhone optimism blasts Apple stock to 2016 high www.reuters.com

Apple's (AAPL.O) stock hit a 2016 high on Wednesday, with its market value peaking above $600 billion for the first time since April as Wall Street bet the technology company's newest iPhone would help shore up falling sales.
 
Fueled by U.S. wireless carriers' reports of strong early orders for the iPhone 7 as well as arch-rival Samsung Electronics' (005930.KS) widely-publicized recall of potentially exploding Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, shares of Apple rose as much as 4.7 percent to $113.03 for a gain of 10 percent in the past three days.
 
Its market capitalization reached nearly $607 billion, compared to $535 billion for Alphabet (GOOGL.O) and $440 billion for Microsoft (MSFT.O).
 
After sinking to a two-year low in July that had portfolio managers describing Apple as a value stock and no longer a growth play, shares of the world's most valuable listed company have since rebounded 25 percent.
 
On Tuesday, Sprint (S.N) said pre-orders for the iPhone 7 were up nearly four times compared to last year's iPhone. T-Mobile (TMUS.O) said pre-orders rose nearly four times compared with its next most popular iPhone.
 
Potentially adding to demand for Apple's products, China's quality watchdog said on Wednesday that Samsung would recall 1,858 of its Galaxy Note 7 phones due to its fire-prone batteries, expanding the list of countries where the devices have been recalled.
 
"With the carriers telling Samsung owners that Samsung wants you to take your phone back into the store, well, people are going to look elsewhere," said Longbow Research analyst Shawn Harrison.
 
Specific details about sales of the new iPhone are scarce after Apple announced last week it would not release weekend sales data, saying the number was more a reflection of supply than demand.
 
With U.S. consumers less eager than in the past to replace their devices, global smartphone shipments are likely to grow less than 2 percent in 2016, compared to 10 percent last year, according to market research firm IDC.
 
Revenue for Apple's fiscal year ending this month is likely to fall 8 percent and then grow 4 percent next year, according to the average estimate of analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Endeavour to buy Mexican exploration properties from Silver Standard www. mining.com

Canadian Endeavour Silver, a mid-tier precious company with long-standing operations in Mexico, has entered into a definitive agreement with fellow Canadian Silver Standard Resources to acquire a 100% interest in the latter’s Parral properties.
 
The properties, which total 3,432 hectares subject to 1% NST production royalties, are located in the southern Chihuahua state, specifically in the silver mining district of Hidalgo de Parral. According to the Mexican Geological Survey, historic production in this area is of approximately 250 million ounces of silver.
 
The Vancouver-based firm said it will pay US$6 million in common shares, being 1,198,083 common shares at US$5.008 per share, representing the 10-day average closing price of Endeavour's shares on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the date of the Agreement.
 
The company has also committed to spending US$2 million on exploration on the San Patricio and La Palmilla properties over the two-year period following the closing of the transaction. Palmilla was famous for supplying silver to the federal mint of Mexico in the late 1800's.
 
Veta Colorada, the third property being acquired, includes a higher-grade footwall vein 1-10 metres thick and a lower grade hanging wall breccia with stock-work up to 30 metres thick. The Industrial Minera Mexico estimated that there are also resources of 32.1 million ounces silver contained in 4.0 million tonnes grading 248.5 grammes per tonne.
 
Upon completing this exploration expenditure, Endeavour will have one year to deliver a National Instrument 43-101 technical report, including a resource estimate, and issue an additional US$200,000 in common shares to Silver Standard for each one million ounces of silver delineated in measured and indicated resources on the San Patricio and La Palmilla properties.
 
Silver Standard will also retain a 1% net smelter returns royalty on production from the San Patricio and La Palmilla properties.
 
"Through this transaction, we retain exposure to the success of the properties and, importantly, we are enabled to redirect capital elsewhere in our portfolio to continue generating value for our shareholders,” Silver Standard’s President and CEO Paul Benson said.
 
On the other hand, Endeavour's Vice President Corporate Development Dale Mah said that his team is looking forward to unfolding the full potential of the Parral properties. "Our exploration team will focus initially on verifying the historic resources, then turn its attention to the many exploration targets on the properties. At the same time, our operations group will evaluate opportunities for near-term production,” he wrote in a statement.
 
The Canadian miner latest move comes after having announced, in January of 2016, that it was cutting back its yearly production by more than 25% and putting its El Cubo mine, located in the central Mexican state of León, in care and maintenance due to low silver prices.
 
But ever since silver and gold have enjoyed a powerful rally, with the grey precious metal even outpacing bullion gains.

Aeroflot Privatization Delayed to 2020 www.themoscowtimes.com

Russia's flagship national airline, Aeroflot, will be excluded from the government's privatization plans until at least 2020.

“The company should remain under the state's supervision,” said Oksana Tarasenko, the Economic Development Ministry's director of Corporate Governance, in an interview with Bloomberg published on Wednesday.

The Russian government currently holds a 51.17 percent share in the company.

The Ministry of Transport has repeatedly discouraged plans to sell an additional 25 percent of the state's share in Aeroflot, citing significant risks to the commercial airline industry. Some officials claim that without government support, the company could go the way of Transaero: a large Russian private airline that declared bankruptcy last year.

European Commission plans free wi-fi in public spaces www.bbc.com

The European Commission wants free wi-fi to be provided in public spaces across its member states within four years.
The goal was announced by the president of the European Union's executive body, Jean-Claude Juncker, in his annual state of the union address.
He also wants at least one city in each EU country to have deployed a 5G mobile network by 2020.
However, one expert cast doubt over whether the public would benefit.
European officials have struggled to deliver an earlier promise to abolish mobile roaming fees.

Mr Juncker said digital technologies were "permeating every aspect of life", so everyone should be able to get online.
"Everyone benefiting from connectivity means that it should not matter where you live or how much you earn," he said.
"So, we propose today to equip every European village and every city with free wireless internet access around the main centres of public life by 2020."
A factsheet for his Wifi4EU plan states that it applies to parks, squares, libraries and public buildings.
However, it makes clear that the commission plans to spend a maximum of €120m (£102m) to install the necessary equipment, and that local bodies will have to cover subscription costs, maintenance and other expenses.
Mark Newman, chief analyst at the telecoms consultancy ConnectivityX, said: "€120m doesn't sound like a huge amount of investment.
"In many towns and cities, people can already find free wi-fi on the High Street.
"I would question whether frugal councils will really see it as a priority to deliver free wi-fi in all their buildings and squares."
Mr Newman said the 5G pledge was also less impressive than it sounded.
"The 5G standard itself won't be ready until 2018," he said.
"And I can't see any spectrum licences being allocated until the next year or the one after that.
"So, the only deployment in 2020 would be in highly targeted areas - something like a shopping precinct or Trafalgar Square.

Additional goals set for 2025 included:
minimum download speed of 100Mbps for all European households
minimum download and upload speeds of 1GBps for all hospitals, administrations and other public services reliant on digital technologies
uninterrupted 5G access for all major roads and railways
The EU's digital economy commissioner backed his president, suggesting the targets would help focus minds.
"Europe has the ambition to lead on the deployment of 5G," said Gunther Oettinger.
"It is time to move to a gigabit society and make sure all Europeans, whether in the countryside or the cities, can get access to a quality internet connection."
Roaming row
The European Commission has faced criticism of its handling of a promise to stop its citizens being charged roaming fees when using their handsets in a different European country to their own.
The executive first proposed the idea in 2013.

Its intention was to prevent people living in one country buying a plan from another to cover their day-to-day use.
But the move caused a backlash, and last week Mr Juncker called for the scheme to be rethought.
"The draft was not technically wrong," Mr Juncker said in his state of the union address.
"But it missed the point of what was promised.
"And you will see a new, better draft as of next week.
"When you roam, it should be like at home."

Global upstream oil and gas spending to fall 24% in 2016 -- IEA www.asia.nikkei.com

LONDON (Reuters) -- Global upstream oil and gas investments are expected to plummet 24 percent this year, with little signs of improvement for 2017, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.
 
This year's dip will come on top of a 25 percent drop in spending in the sector recorded in 2015 with its total of $583 billion, the IEA said in a report.
 
"The total fall exceeds $300 billion over the two years - an unprecedented occurrence," the report said, adding two consecutive years of reduced upstream oil and gas investment had not been seen for 40 years.
 
"Furthermore, there are no signs that companies plan to increase their upstream capital spending in 2017," it said.
 
A total of $900 billion was invested in oil, gas and coal in 2015, down 18 percent on 2014.
 
Total global investment in all forms of energy fell 8 percent to $1.8 trillion last year, the report said.
 
The largest drop in investment came in the North American upstream oil and gas sector, which also helped China to take top spot for total energy investment after three previous years of dominance by the United States.
 
Oil prices have halved over the past two years due to a glut of production while global gas prices have made a similar retreat.
 
The IEA said shrinking investment could help the markets to rebalance.
 
"At its current level, investment may be insufficient to maintain oil and gas production, indicating tighter markets ahead  Oil markets are likely to rebalance before gas markets, with low-carbon investment putting a lid on gas demand," the report said.
 
Investment in low-carbon renewable energy reached $315 billion in 2015, making up 17 percent of the total.
 
Over 90 percent of the renewable investment went to power generation technologies, with the rest going to solar, thermal heating installations and biofuels for transport, the report said.
 
Last year, more than 190 countries agreed at climate talks in Paris to curb greenhouse gas emissions to help limit increases in global temperatures to well below 2 degrees.
 
Despite the rise in renewable investment the report said the current pace of decarbonisation of power generation remains insufficient to meet the Paris goal.
 
Investment in energy efficiency projects, such as insulation in buildings, rose to around $220 billion, up 6 percent on 2014 and making up 12 percent of the total energy investments.
