Thousands Evacuated as Firefighters Battle Wildfires in Crete
Rana Atef On Friday, firefighters continued to battle wildfires near Athens and on the island of Crete. Thousands were forced to abandon the island's holiday resorts, while blazes in neighboring Turkey claimed at least two lives. More than 5000 tourists, hotel workers and residents were evacuated from Crete's southern coast, authorities and hotel association officials said. Many people escaped into the sea and were rescued by local fishermen and divers. Ierapetra Mayor Manolis Frangoulis said firefighters working to prevent the fires to take advantage of a lull in high winds. "Thankfully no one was hurt but it's a difficult situation," he added. Tourists were relocated to other hotels or spent the night in an indoor basketball stadium. Several homes and businesses were damaged. In the same context, a wildfire near the port of Rafina disrupted local ferry services to the islands.

Apple Owes $110 Mln in Wireless Tech Patent Case
Israa Farhan A US federal court in Delaware has ruled that tech giant Apple must pay $110 million in damages to Spanish technology firm TOT for infringing on a patented wireless communication technology. The ruling, reported by Reuters, follows a legal battle initiated by TOT in 2021. The court found that Apple had unlawfully used TOT's proprietary technology in developing wireless receiver components used in iPhones, violating one of the company's patents. TOT's founder, Álvaro López-Medrano, claimed to be the original inventor of a power-saving technology for mobile communications. He discovered Apple's unlicensed use of the innovation in the hardware of its iPhones and filed the lawsuit in response. He also revealed that similar patent lawsuits have been filed against LG and Samsung, which are still under judicial review. The US Attorney's office charged Apple with infringing two TOT patents, but the jury concluded that the infringement applied to one patent. Despite the court's ruling, Apple denies any wrongdoing, stating that its devices do not use any protected technology from TOT. The company, led by CEO Tim Cook, has announced plans to appeal the decision. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
