Britain to launch Brexit process on March 29: EU sourcesBy Gabriela Baczynska BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May will write to the European Union on March 29 formally announcing Britain's withdrawal from the bloc, EU sources told Reuters on Monday, saying Brussels had been told of the plan by British officials. By the end of next week, after he has received May's letter, European Council President Donald Tusk should have distributed draft guidelines for the negotiations to the 27 other national governments. Tusk will also summon those 27 leaders for a summit to endorse the final guidelines, probably in early May. Once those are in place, giving a negotiating mandate to the EU executive, the European Commission, chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier should be able to schedule talks with his British counterpart, Brexit Secretary David Davis.


Leaked Galaxy S8 photos show range of new color options

Leaked Galaxy S8 photos show range of new color options

One of the easiest ways for smartphone manufacturers to increase interest in a new device is to introduce an array of new color options, a strategy Samsung plans to implement with full force once it releases its S8 lineup next month. Incidentally, it's widely believed that Samsung's new smartphones will hit store shelves on April 21.

According to reports, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S8 lineup will reportedly ship in seven distinct colors: silver, gold, black, matte black, blue, orchid, and pink. Presumably, not every color will be available in every single market, but we'll undoubtedly get the full scoop on those details once Samsung holds its Unpacked event on March 29.

In the meantime, a pair of S8 leaks over the weekend claim to show us what a few of the above color options are actually going to look like.

First off, the Netherlands based TechTastic posted a series of photos of the Galaxy S8 in blue, grey, and silver.

Here we have a blue Galaxy S8.

And last but not least, below are two photos of Samsung's silver S8 model.

Second, noted leaker Evan Blass yesterday posted promotional shots of three new S8 models along with the official color names they might be sold under: black sky, orchid grey and arctic silver.

If you haven't been paying much attention to the Galaxy S8 rumor mill as of late, it's worth highlighting that the device will not feature a physical home button.

Colors aside, the S8 is set to bring a number of compelling hardware enhancements to the table, including a Snapdragon 835 processor, an iris recognition sensor, facial recognition technology, an improved 8 megapixel sensor on the front of the device, and a WQHD+ resolution of 2960×1440. The RAM will remain the same at 4GB while the S8 battery will feature the same 3000 mAh battery used on Samsung's S7. Meanwhile, the 6.2-inch Galaxy S8 Plus will reportedly come with a 3500 mAh battery.

In France's most unpredictable election in years, far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron have been running neck-and-neck for weeks, with the latest opinion poll showing the centrist just half a percentage point ahead for the first round of voting on April 23. Monday's debate will be an unprecedented chance for French voters to compare candidates before the first round as the frontrunners will share the stage with trailing candidates Francois Fillon of the right and Benoit Hamon of the left, along with the far left Jean-Luc Melenchon.
