Motorola said to be launching 8 more phones this year - including Nexus 6

Motorola has been enjoying plenty of attention lately thanks largely to its striking Moto 360 smartwatch, which features a beautiful round display unlike many of the wrist-bound devices

unveiled by its rivals, which feature far more conventional square screens. But the wearable device isn't all that Motorola is preparing for launch in the coming month. The company reportedly has eight new handsets currently in development, according to TKTechNews, and it's possible that all of them may be released before the end of the year:
DROID
DROID Maxx
DROID Turbo
Moto G
Moto S
Moto X+1
Moto X Play
Nexus Shamu

That last device on the list is of particularsignificance, of course. 'Shamu' is the codename of the greatly anticipated new Nexus 6, and it's looking increasingly likely that Motorola will be
building it . The Nexus 6 will reportedly feature a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 12MP rear camera
with 4K video recording, 2MP selfie cam and a Quad HD display. Regarding the remaining handsets on the list,
information is rather more patchy. The Moto X+1 will be a simple replacement for the Moto X , just as the Moto G will replace the existing device of the same name. Previous reports have suggested
that the device might be called the Moto G2 , but LG might have a few things to say about that.

The 'DROID' range of devices are likely destined for Verizon, with the DROID Turbo reportedly packing specs not that far off the Nexus Shamu. There may be some spec sheet similarity too with
the Moto X+1, as TechRadar reports that 
the Turbo may not be released at all if the X+1 is a sales success. It also says it is possible that either the X Play or the Moto S will be released, again hinting at similar specs between those two devices. Motorola is expected to unveil the Moto X+1 handset and Moto 360 smartwatch in a couple of weeks' time, at an event on September 4.

Mario Balotelli: AC Milan reject claims the striker is about to leave

AC Milan have released a statement to deny speculation that Italy striker Mario Balotelli could leave in January. They were responding to reports in Italy that Milan president Silvio Berlusconi had decided to sell him. "AC Milan firmly and absolutely deny statements that have been attributed to the chairman about Mario Balotelli being put on the transfer list," the Serie A club's statement  said . The ex-Man City striker has scored six goals in 12 league games this season. He moved to the San Siro in January for an initial fee of 22m euros (£19m). Last season he racked up 12 goals for the seven-time European champions in only 13 Serie A appearances.

Al-Jazeera demands Egypt release four journalists

  Qatar-based broadcaster Al-Jazeera has demanded the release of four of its journalists seized by Egyptian police in Cairo at the weekend. They include its Cairo bureau chief Mohamed Fadel Fahmy and former BBC correspondent Peter Greste. The journalists had held illegal meetings with the Muslim Brotherhood, the interior ministry said. Al-Jazeera said it had been "subject to harassment" although not officially banned from working in Egypt. There has been a crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood since the army ousted President Mohammed Morsi in July. Last week it was declared a terrorist group. In the past six months, more than 1,000 pro-Morsi protesters have been killed in clashes with security forces, and thousands of Brotherhood supporters have been arrested, including the majority of its leadership. A court will hear a case to disband the Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), on 15 February. 'Arbitrary' The four journ...
