Speaking at a conference in Israel, Mr Giuliani said Mr Trump's tough stance had forced Pyongyang's hand. Mr Trump called off the summit in May, accusing North Korea of "tremendous anger and open hostility".

The Wall Street Journal first reported that Mr Giuliani said: "Well, Kim Jong-un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in."

What to do if you lose your Apple TV remote

-

  1. What to do if you lose your Apple TV remote

  3. You have three options as I see it.


  6. I'm surprised it took this long. The remote is tiny, and I have two kids.
  7. My Apple TV remote has gone missing, and unlike when I misplace my iPhone, I can't call the remote to find it. A thorough search of the family room, including a deep dive into the couch, has turned up some loose change, many Legos, an armory's worth Nerf bullets, and more crumbs than I care to admit, but not the tiny remote.
  8. Should your Apple TV remote go missing, you have three options for replacing it, and two of them won't cost you a dime.
  9. 1. Use the Remote app
  10. If you have an Apple TV, then I'd wager you also have an iOS device in your house. Install the free Remote app and you can use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to control your Apple TV as long as everything is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  11. After installing the app, tap the Add Apple TV button to pair the app with your Apple TV. If you don't see it, make sure your Apple TV and iOS device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and running the latest version of their respective software. Also check to see if Home Sharing is turned on in iTunes. Open iTunes on your computer and choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
  12. apple-tv-remote-app.jpg
  13. 2. Reprogram an old TV or DVD remote
  14. There's a bit of a catch-22 for this one. To set up an old TV or DVD remote to act as an Apple TV remote, you will need a working Apple TV remote to begin the procedure. I suggest you use the Remote app to set things up.
  15. Grab an old remote and use the Remote app to head to Settings > General > Remotes > Learn Remote on your Apple TV. Hit the Start button and press and hold buttons to assign each one a function. It will walk you through the basic buttons first: Up, Down, Left, Right, Select and Menu.
  16. apple-tv-learn-remote.jpg
  17. After setting up the basic buttons, you can then program additional buttons for play, pause, fast forward, rewind and 30-second skips backwards and forward. This gives you more functionality than the minimalistic Apple TV remote offers itself. Plus, a clunky old DVD remote is harder to lose.
  18. 3. Buy a new Apple TV remote
  19. If neither of the above options are feasible or attractive, then you'll need to buy a new Apple TV remote. At the time of writing, Apple will sell you the older, Siri-less silver remote for $19 (£15, AU$25). Or you can get the newer Siri Remote for $79 (£79, AU$129). You'll get free two-day shipping if you buy it in the US.
  20. Editor's note: This story was originally published on September 4, 2014 and has since been updated to include new information. Also, roughly a year after this story was originally published, I found my Apple TV remote. It turned up in a Monopoly box, a game it turns out my family doesn't play all that frequently.
You have three options as I see it.

Trump Administration Sought Negative Information On Haitians

-
In the spring of 2017, a high level Trump administration official asked for details on how many Haitians with Temporary Protected Status were on public benefits, how many were convicted of “crimes of any kind,” and how many had been in the country unlawfully before being granted TPS. When told by staffers that this information wasn’t relevant to granting TPS and that the existing data “wasn’t good,” she continued to press ahead. She explained that the Homeland Security Secretary “is going to need this to make a final decision” that spring on whether to extend TPS for Haitians. They were granted the right to stay in the U.S. after a devastating 2010 earthquake. To critics of that decision, these emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, reveal an administration intent on seeking negative information to doom the renewal of TPS for nearly 60,000 Haitians. “Keep in mind that this is in no way relevant to dec
