Turkey-ALSHARQIYA October 17: The Turkish lira hit new record lows against the dollar and the euro on Friday as investors worried about further interest rate cuts despite rising inflation, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sacked three members of the central bank's monetary policy committee.
The lira fell about 0.9 percent on Friday, hitting an all-time low of 9.28 against the greenback. The Turkish currency was trading at 9.27 lira against the US currency at 2103 GMT.
The lira also touched the level of 10.7235 against the euro.
“These frequent shifts of central bank decision-making committee members underscore the message that Turkey’s central bank is not independent and is under enormous political pressure,” said Silva Demiralp, director of the Koç University Economic Research Forum and a former economist at the US Federal Reserve.
She added that the lack of credibility worries the markets because achieving the central bank's inflation target of five percent will likely be more difficult, and also because any increase in the interest rate in the future will be less effective.
Two of the three members of the Monetary Policy Committee who were dismissed were seen as opposing a 100 basis point rate cut to 18 percent last month, and their dismissals were seen as a prelude to further monetary policy easing next week at the earliest.
Analysts saw the move as further evidence of political interference by Erdogan, who has previously described himself as an enemy of interest rates and often urges monetary stimulus.

Facebook says Metaverse will not be owned or operated by a single company.

United States-alsharqiya October 17: Apple introduced a distinctive system for the cameras in the iPhone 12 phones, specifically within the Pro versions. However, the company has made greater improvements in the new generation of iPhone phones, which qualified the regular iPhone 13 to outperform the Pro versions of the previous generation.
Perhaps the reason for this is the Sensor-Shift technology that allows the camera sensor to move while shooting. This technology, along with many other techniques, has improved the performance of iPhone 13 phones.
It used to be that the new generation of iPhone phones outperformed the previous generation in terms of imaging capabilities. However, the comparison is usually between the regular and the Pro versions. Not between the Pro and regular versions.
According to DOOMark tests, the regular iPhone 13 achieves 138 points in imaging performance for still images, and thus outperforms the iPhone 12 Pro by only one point. But in terms of video shooting, the phone has scored 117 points.
On the other hand, the phone has achieved 117 points in the performance of video shooting, and 55 points in the performance of the zoom, and thus it is significantly superior to the iPhone 12 Pro phones.
The difference is due to the aforementioned Sensor-Shift technology. But this technology was already available in the previous generation, but exclusively for the iPhone 12 Pro Max versions.
The main sensor in the iPhone 13 camera comes with a 12-megapixel camera, which is the same sensor that was present in the iPhone 12 Pro Max in general. This is in addition to the sensor with a wide shooting angle.
Interestingly, the iPhone 13 mini has the same cameras as the regular iPhone 13 version. Which means that the iPhone 13 mini outperforms the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Which is peculiar to Apple and its development strategies.
The phone has achieved a good performance in terms of zoom, although it does not come with a zoom camera - that is, a separate telephoto - as is the case in the Pro versions, whether from the current generation or the previous generation.
It is also mentioned that a large number of users do not trust DXOMark tests in general. On the other hand, iPhones in general come in a relatively late position in the list of the best smartphone cameras on the platform.

London-ALSHARQIYA October 13: Alexander McQueen's house returned to present its live shows after the pandemic, through its first women's fashion show in London after an absence from this city for 20 years, evoking a "cloud" to act as a stage for this show.
Sarah Burton, the house's creative director, chose to present her Spring-Summer 2022 collection off the London Fashion Week calendar. She decided to return to her London roots through a presentation on the roof of one of the city's buildings, where a transparent bubble was installed in the form of a cloud designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radek, who made sure that the London sky, which was the source of inspiration for the show, was shown through it.
Inspired by the changes in the London sky, Sarah Burton set of 36 looks that varied in colors between white, grey, navy, black, light leaf, yellow and pink. They are all gradations that decorate the London sky with the change of weather and the succession of the hours of night and day.
This collection included many women's suits that carried the special touches of Alexander McQueen. She kept her classic cuts and was decorated with huge sleeves and embroideries. It was also remarkable that the black leather matched with denim in many looks, and the feathers entered the dresses made of chiffon, in addition to coordinating the looks decorated with bytes with feathers. As for the crystal chains, we have seen them invade blazer jackets, corset dresses, and even socks and shoes. The drawing of clouds, executed with great precision, was repeated on the costumes.
"I love the idea of a McQueen woman being strong in character and unaffected by the passing clouds and storms of her life," Sarah Burton said in the notes accompanying the show. It was perfectly embodied by veteran model Naomi Campbell, who concluded the show with a striking black look.
