5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF Android is an open-source operating system that Google lets cellphone makers use for free. As a result, it is the most widely used system, beating even Apple’s iOS. The EU says Google has market share exceeding 90 percent in most European countries. Associated Press Prosecutors want suspected Russian agent kept in jail WASHINGTON — A 29-year-old woman accused of being a covert Russian agent was “likely” in contact with operatives of the succes- sor agency to the KGB while she lived in the United States, prosecutors said today in court papers. Maria Butina had contact information for people who, prosecutors say, were employ- ees of the Russia’s Federal Security Services, or FSB, according to the government. The FBI also observed her din- ing privately with a Russian diplomat suspected of being an intelligence operative, in the weeks before the envoy’s departure from the U.S. last March. Prosecutors made the alle- gations in documents made public before an afternoon hearing in which a judge will decide whether to keep Butina in jail while she awaits trial on charges of conspiracy and act- ing as an unregistered foreign agent for Russia. Citing her intelligence ties, the government is argu- ing that Butina poses an “extreme” risk of fleeing the U.S., where she has been liv- ing on a student visa. In seek- ing her detention, prosecutors said Butina’s “legal status in the United States is predicated on deception.” Butina and a Russian offi- cial messaged each other directly on Twitter, prosecu- tors said. One such exchange occurred a month before the U.S. presidential election when Butina said she under- stood that “everything has to be quiet and careful.” They also spoke on Jan. 20, 2017 when Butina sent the official a photo of her near the U.S. Capitol on the day Don- ald Trump was inaugurated as president. According to court papers, the Russian official responded, “You’re a daredevil girl! What can I say!()” Butina responded, “Good teachers!” EU fines Google a record $5 billion BRUSSELS — The Euro- THE DAILY ASTORIAN W EDNESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) Congresswoman wins runoff turning on loyalty to Trump Proactiva Open Arms Rescue workers retrieve the bodies of an adult and a child amid the drifting remains of a destroyed migrant boat off the Libyan coast. 19 dead, 25 missing as migrant boat capsizes north of Cyprus NICOSIA, Cyprus — Nineteen people drowned when a boat loaded with as many as 150 people who were thought to be migrants capsized off the northern coast of Cyprus, a Turkish Cypriot official said today. Rescue crews were searching for 25 missing passengers in an area where a passing cargo ship reported spotting people in the water. The Turkish coast guard said it rescued 103 of the capsized vessel’s passengers and took them to Turkey. Thousands of Europe-bound migrants have attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa this year, a dangerous journey often made in overcrowded and inadequate vessels procured by human smugglers. The International Organization for Migration said before the Cyprus wreck that 1,443 peo- ple died or went missing this year in the Mediterranean Sea route from northern Africa as of July 15. Friction between the Italian government and private aid groups that patrol the sea to look for people in danger ratcheted up Wednesday when a Spanish aid organization shunned an Italian port for one in Spain. Proactiva Open Arms said it found a survivor and two dead bodies from a migrant boat wreck on Tuesday, and accused Italy of complicity. The aid organization accused Libya’s coast guard, which has received training from Italy and funding from the European Union, of abandoning the three people Monday when it took 158 other migrants from the boat and destroyed it. pean Union fined Google a record $5 billion today for forcing cellphone makers that use the company’s hugely popular Android operating system to install Google apps. The EU said the prac- tice restricts competition and reduces choices for consumers. The fine, which caps a three-year investigation, is the biggest ever imposed on a company by the EU for anti- competitive behavior. It is likely to stoke ten- sions between Europe and the U.S., which regulates the tech industry with a lighter hand and has complained that the EU is singling out American companies for punishment. Google immediately said it will appeal. In its ruling, the EU said Google broke the rules when it required mobile phone makers to pre-in- stall the Google Search and browser apps if they wanted to use Google’s app store. Google also paid big produc- ers to exclusively pre-install the Google Search app. The penalty is on top of $2.8 billion that regulators imposed on Google a year ago for favoring its shop- ping listings in search results. The latest fine is well within Google’s means. Its parent company, Alphabet, made $9.4 billion in profit in the first three months of the year and reportedly had over $100 billion in cash reserves. MILLBROOK, Ala. — U.S. Rep. Martha Roby won Alabama’s Republican run- off, fighting through linger- ing fallout from her years-old criticism of then-candidate Donald Trump in a midterm contest that hinged on loyalty to the GOP president. The four-term incum- bent will now represent the GOP on the November bal- lot having defeated Bobby Bright, a former Democrat who tried to cast himself as the more authentic Trump ally in the low-turnout Republican contest. The Trump White House was on Roby’s side. “It’s been a true privi- lege to have the support of the White House through this campaign,” Roby told cheer- ing supporters Tuesday night, her voice cracking with emo- tion at times. “I am so hum- bled that the people of Ala- bama’s 2nd Congressional District have again placed their trust and their confi- dence in me.” Trump and Vice Presi- dent Mike Pence endorsed the four-term incumbent in recent weeks. The vice pres- ident went further over the weekend and recorded robo- calls distributed on her behalf saying she’s a reliable vote for the Trump agenda. Some intervention was required after Roby angered Alabama Republicans in the closing days of the 2016 pres- idential election when she said Trump’s lewd comments about women — captured on an “Access Hollywood” tape — made him unacceptable as a candidate for president. otic makeover. Trump says the familiar baby blue color on the pres- idential aircraft will give way to a red-white-and-blue color scheme. Updated mod- els could be in service during a potential second term. The president made the announce- ment in a CBS News inter- view broadcast Tuesday. Separately, White House press secretary Sarah Huck- abee Sanders said today that the Air Force has awarded a “firm fixed-price” contract to Boeing to design, modify, test, certify and deliver two pres- idential “mission-ready” air- craft by 2024. They’ll replace the current Boeing 747 ver- sions used by the president, which are 31 years old. Sanders said the contract sets the total price for the two completed aircraft at $3.9 bil- lion. She said that represents a savings of more than $1.4 bil- lion from the $5.3 billion ini- tially proposed. Trump tweeted in Decem- ber 2016, after he was elected, that costs for the program were “out of control, more than $4 billion.” He added, “Cancel order!” SUB-BIDS REQUESTED Seaside School District New Middle/High Schools Seaside, Oregon Bid Package: #3 Facade and Roof (Includes Metal Panels, Roofing, Masonry, Curtainwall & Storefront and Windows) Pre-Bid Meeting: July 20th 10:00am (Portland & Seaside locations) Bids Due: July 31st 2:00pm Bid Documents: www.hoffmancorp.com/subcontractors 805 SW Broadway, Suite 2100 Portland, OR 97205 Phone (503) 221-8811 Bid Fax (503) 221-8888 BIDS@hoffmancorp.com Air Force One to get makeover Hoffman is an equal opportunity employer and requests sub-bids from all interested firms including disadvantaged, minority, women, disabled veterans and emerging small-business enterprises WASHINGTON — Pres- ident Donald Trump says Air Force One is getting a patri- SCHEDULE OR CCB#28417/LIC HOFFMCC164NC Evening listings WEDNESDAY J ULY 18 A - Charter Astoria/ Seaside - L - Charter Long Beach 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM 9:30 10 PM 10:30 11 PM 11:30 Jeopardy!
