Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-5-2019: World Bee Day.

20th May , 2019.

Surprising news … 

I’ve got Radio Four’s Today programme on: and they’ve just broken the news.

Google have suspended Huawei’s use of Google’s Android operating system: the OS that powers most of the world’s smart phones, and tablets.
