BERLIN (Reuters) -Deutsche Telekom and Nvidia will join forces to build an industrial artificial intelligence cloud for European manufacturers in Germany, the first of its kind, the companies said on Friday.

A Hong Kong police officer seen putting a taxi driver who later died into a chokehold has told an inquest that he came into contact with the man’s neck “accidentally” during a struggle.

The court is re-examining the death of Chan, 65, in December 2012, a month after his arrest. He died from complications from a cervical dislocation. “Going back to the footage, we can see your right hand had a movement resembling a chokehold. Explain to the court why you had this move,” coroner’s officer Derek Wong Chun-hin said.

Lam said he had first attempted to lift Chan up by holding the driver’s left upper arm, but he was twisting his body, rendering the attempt at control a failure. The constable blamed Chan’s struggling for his forearm touching the taxi driver’s neck, telling the court that he had immediately loosened his right arm on Chan’s neck and asked the driver if he was fine.

Surveillance camera footage then showed Chan standing outside the vehicle, with the taxi driver swaying.
