Donald Trump: Migrants treated better than US military veterans

Illegal immigrants in the US often get better care than the nation's military veterans, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said.

"We're not going to allow that to happen any longer," he told a bikers' rally in Washington DC.

Mr Trump did not provide any evidence for his assertion.

Last year, the billionaire sparked anger by attacking the military record of Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war.

Mr Trump said Sen McCain was only considered a hero because he was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War.

He then added: "I like people who weren't captured."

Since then Mr Trump, who never served in the military, has tried to repair the damage by frequently honouring veterans at his rallies and holding fundraising events for them.

His latest comments came at the annual Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally on Sunday, which was dedicated to remembering POWs and those missing in action.

Despite previous criticism, many in the crowd cheered Mr Trump.

"What I like about Trump is that he is one of us. He's not a politician," 52-year-old Louis Naymik was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.

Mr Trump - who has made controversial comments on a number of issues - was speaking ahead of the 7 June California primary.

He is running unopposed in California after his Republican rivals pulled out and he reached the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination. It has yet to be formalised.

The Associated Press says Congress and many states have written an assortment of laws and policies designed to restrict government services to people in the 

MY OPINION

I don't do summarize of the new because I think that every word it's important. Donald Trump it's one of the candidates to being the new president of USA. He is a rich man, who is really radical with the immigrants concretely with the musulmans, but he is an immigrant his parents aren`t North Americans. The problem is that he has a lot of people who recolze his opinions. This situation doesn't happens only in USA , in Europe are radicals political groups which slowly are winning power, this have to stop because we don't know how can finish that. The religion, the colour and the opinions of every habitant of the world cannot be a problem.

Apple fights call to block Facetime and iMessage

A patent-licensing firm is seeking to force Apple to suspend its Facetime and iMessage services claiming it has suffered "irreparable harm" as a result of the tech giant's actions.

The Texas-based firm is now seeking further damages and says Apple should be blocked from using its technologies to power its video and text chat apps.

Apple is contesting the case.

It wants the court to disregard the verdict because the US Patent and Trademark Office has invalidated VirnetX's claim to the inventions - but such action by the USPTO is being challenged in a separate case before the Supreme Court.

Apple has argued that its customers would be harmed if it were forced to stop offering Facetime and iMessage to iPhone, iPad and Mac owners.

But VirnetX claims the step is warranted as its own secure messaging and video conferencing app - Gabriel Collaboration Suite - is suffering as a consequence.

"Apple is very happy to use technology owned by other parties and just wait to be sued once they have pocketed the profits," one of VirnetX's UK-based shareholders - who asked not to be named - told the BBC.

Apple declined to comment.

Olympiakos footballer Alan Pulido kidnapped in Mexico

Mexican footballer Alan Pulido has been kidnapped in the northern border state of Tamaulipas, officials say.

The 25-year-old striker was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday near his home in Ciudad Victoria after leaving a party.

He plays for the Greek team Olympiakos and has made several appearances for Mexico's national team.

Mexico has the one of the world's highest kidnapping rates, with government figures saying some 1,000 people are taken every year.

Others argue that the true figure could be almost ten times as high.

Six masked men reportedly took the striker away "by force" while his girlfriend was left unharmed in the car park where the incident took place.
