Muslims heed calls to avoid holy site over Israeli security steps
Muslims heeded calls Monday not to enter a Jerusalem holy site and protested outside after Israeli authorities installed metal detectors at entrances to the ultra-sensitive compound following an attack that killed two policemen. The compound was largely empty apart from tourists and Jewish visitors, with Muslims again praying and protesting outside the site instead of entering through the metal detectors. The Haram al-Sharif compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, includes the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque.

Australian woman shot dead by US police after calling 911 to report a disturbance
An Australian woman living in Minnesota was shot dead by police when she called to report a disturbance near her home. Justine Ruszczyk called police to the home she shared with her fiancé, who she was due to marry next month, at 11:30pm on Saturday night. The 40-year-old died when police opened fire. Minneapolis police are investigating, but their work has been hampered because the officers’ body cameras were switched off. The police department said the squad car's camera also failed to capture the incident. Zach Damond, her fiance’s son, she had called the police after hearing a noise near her home. “My mum is dead, because a police officer shot her, for reasons I don’t know, and I demand answers” he said in a tearful Facebook Live video. "I guess she thought that something bad was happening and, next thing I know, they take my best friend’s life." A vigil on Sunday for an Australian woman killed by police in Minnesota Credit: Alamy Miss Ruszczyk was born in Sydney but moved to the US about three years ago to be with her fiancé, Don. The Australian reported that she hated America’s gun culture, but made the move to be with the American businessman she called the “handsome, hilarious, rockstar love of my life”. Mr Damond, 50, was returning from a business trip and was being picked up by his son Zach when the shooting occurred. “She heard a sound in the alley so she called police and the cops showed up,” Zach said. “Basically my mum’s dead because a police officer shot her for reasons I don’t know ... I demand answers. If anybody can help, just call police and demand answers. I’m so done with all this violence.” She worked as a “spiritual healer”, and running meditation workshops at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, which in a Facebook post called her "one of the most loving people you would ever meet." The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said they were "providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian woman who died in a shooting in Minneapolis," but did not comment further. They also put out a brief statement on behalf of the woman's family. "This is a very difficult time for our family,” they said. “We are trying to come to terms with this tragedy and to understand why this has happened." Betsy Hodges, mayor of Minneapolis, said she was “heartsick and deeply disturbed” by her death. “My thoughts are now with everyone affected by this tragic incident, especially the deceased woman and her family. “The City will continue to provide updated information on this incident, and the BCA’s investigation, as soon as we have it." Last July, a suburban Minneapolis police officer fatally shot a black man during a traffic stop, with the killing live-streamed on Facebook. Officer Jeronimo Yanez shot school cafeteria worker and licenced gun owner Philando Castile, 32, in front of his girlfriend and her young daughter, sparking outcry and protests. Last month Mr Yanez was found not guilty of manslaughter and other charges for killing Castile. He left the force after being given a $48,500 pay out, which prompted further outrage.
Leak: This is what the Pixel 2 XL might look like
Google will launch two Pixel models this year, according to multiple independent reports, including one that’s going to look like the original Pixel and one that will embrace the full-screen design that’s in fashion this year. HTC will reportedly make the Pixel 2 based on the iPhone-like Pixel design it used last year, while LG has been tasked with creating the Pixel 2 XL, which will look a lot like the LG G6 and the Galaxy S8 when it comes to screen size.
A few days ago, we saw the first render from a trustworthy source that showed us what the Pixel 2 XL might look like. Based on that image, YouTube channel Concept Creator made the short video at the end of this post.
The Pixel 2 XL should have minimal side bezels and smaller top and bottom bezels as well, if all the leaks are accurate. The back is still made of glass and metal, but the glass part is slightly smaller and doesn’t include the rear-facing fingerprint sensor as is the case with previous Pixels.
As for the camera, we’re looking at a single-lens camera on the back instead of the dual-lens configuration most flagship phones have this year.
The video shows the Pixel 2 XL in various colors, likely based on the rumor that said Google is considering a few crazy color options for the 2017 Pixel models. These rumors haven't yet been confirmed, but they certainly sound appealing.
Google should unveil the new 2017 Pixel handsets in late September or early October, although nothing is official at this point in time. If this is the real design of the Pixel 2 XL, it’s likely that we’ll see it in more leaks down the road, including actual pictures of the handset as we get closer to release. In the meantime, enjoy the following concept clip.
