LONDON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Britain is determined to secure a trade deal with the European Union and is working hard to close the gaps in negotiating positions, Michael Gove, the minister in charge of implementing the divorce deal, said on Thursday.

LONDON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Wednesday said she was committed to the Northern Ireland protocol bill which would in effect override parts of the Brexit deal with the European Union unless a negotiated agreement with the bloc is found.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Trade Representative's office said on Tuesday it will conduct an interagency review of its trade tools and policies to fight forced labor to determine whether any gaps need to be filled.

"As the virus has spread to around 20 provinces in China and with a tendency of spreading more widely, the hit on consumption would last for a while, unlike our previous forecasts with a gradually warming consumption recovery," said Tang Jianwei, chief researcher at the Financial Research Center of Bank of Communications.

On one hand, the array of affordable VPN options now available means that -- no matter how critical or casual your privacy needs -- there's a VPN service suited to your purpose. But it also means consumers have to wade through even more VPN advertising hype. Over the past several years, a flood of VPN providers has entered the marketplace, and that comes with both benefits and drawbacks.

Rapist Met police officer David Carrick is being investigated over an alleged sex attack when he was 13 and another five women have come forward since he was jailed - as his mother says she has no plans to visit him in prison.

Carrick, 48, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 30 years in February after carrying out a string of 'violent and brutal' sex attacks against at least a dozen women over more than two decades as a police officer.

While China has shown no sign of ditching its "zero-clearance" policy aimed at containing outbreaks as quickly as possible, it has told local governments across the country to minimise the impact of counter-COVID measures on people's daily lives.

SHANGHAI, March 9 (Reuters) - The Chinese financial hub of Shanghai is moving quickly to halt the spread of COVID-19 amid a rising wave of local symptomless cases, testing tens of thousands of people, delaying dozens of concerts and exhibitions and shutting some public venues.

"Of course we are determined to secure a deal and that's why our negotiators under Lord (David) Frost are working hard with (EU chief negotiator) Michel Barnier to close the remaining gaps in the negotiations," Gove told parliament.

Surfshark says it doesn't log any user activity. And although no-logging claims are virtually with 100% certainty, German cybersecurity firm Cure53 declared Surfshark's security to be "solid" in its 2021 security audit of the VPN. Surfshark says a new audit is forthcoming by the end of this year. 

We evaluate VPNs based on their overall performance in three main categories: speed, security and price. Express isn't the cheapest, but it's among the fastest and, so far, is the most secure.  ExpressVPN received a CNET Editors' Choice Award for best overall VPN.

During CNET's testing, Norton Secure VPN speeds were comparable to other midtier VPNs but not particularly competitive. Although its VPN is only available on four platforms -- Mac, iOS, Windows and Android -- Norton gets points for its 24/7 live customer service phone support and 60-day money back guarantee.

The range of VPN offerings is vast, but those two things will help you find a VPN that has the right blend of speed, security and cost.  How do I choose the right VPN for me? Picking a VPN requires knowing two basic things to start with: What you want to use it for, and what you're willing to pay.

Our in-depth review of CyberGhost

in 2019 included speed testing, security verification and an analysis of its full suite of privacy tools. In CNET's previous coverage of virtual private networks, we've praised CyberGhost for its roster of competitive features. Since then, the VPN company has increased its number of servers and is prepared to roll out new privacy tools, all while remaining one of the cheapest VPNs we've reviewed -- at $2.29 per month for a three-year plan.

We also recommend that anyone in the US review CyberGhost's parent company before deciding whether to pay for a subscription. While CyberGhost's connection speed and security features appear to be improving, we don't currently recommend using the VPN service provider if you're in a country where VPNs are illegal.

Apple advises users to activate their device's Always On VPN profile for additional protection.  There are limits to the privacy VPNs currently provide to iOS users: Recent independent research has surfaced suggesting iPhones and iPads running iOS 14 or later may be vulnerable to device-only VPN leaks, regardless of which VPN is used. Apple users concerned with potential leaks can take extra precaution by installing their VPN on a home router to ensure their entire Wi-Fi network is encrypted. You can also try closing all apps, activating your VPN, and then enabling and disabling Airplane Mode before using your device normally. Some iOS users may potentially reduce the likelihood of leaks while outside of a home network by enabling their VPN's kill switch and selecting OpenVPN protocols.
