Sumsub launches
deepfake detection tool, announces pivot to ‘full-cycle verification’Jun
23, 2023, 12:03 pm EDT | William McCurdy
London-based
identity verification firm Sumsub has incorporated enhanced deepfake
detection technology into its existing biometric liveness detection
solution.Sumsub’s liveness technology looks to detect spoofing attempts
during the KYC process, by ensuring users are physically present by
collecting their face biometric data and then creating a 3D FaceMap.
This is then continuously referenced when authorizing future actions,
such as transactions or logins.With the new update, the deepfake fraud
detector will integrate directly with Sumsub’s liveness solution.To
accompany the move, the company also released a variety of statistics
covering the relative prevalence of deepfake fraud worldwide.The
research found that in 2022, Spain was by far the global ‘leader’ in
deep fake fraud accounting for 49.7 percent of all cases
internationally, followed by the UK with 9.3 percent and the U.S. with
4.2 percent.In Q1 2023, the most deep fakes came from Great Britain and
Spain which suffered 11.8 percent and 11.2 percent of all global
deepfake fraud, respectively.This was followed by Germany and the
Netherlands which had 6.7 percent of cases and 4.7 percent of cases
respectively.The U.S. held fifth place and had 4.3 percent of global
deep fake fraud cases.From 2022 to Q1 2023, the proportion of deepfakes
among all fraud types reportedly increased in Canada by 4,500 percent,
the U.S. by 1,200 percent, Germany by 407 percent, and the UK by 392
percent.Last quarter, a high proportion of deepfakes out of all fraud
types was also noticed in Australia, Argentina, and China.It’s not just
Sumsub that is rolling out new tools to combat the rising threat of
deepfake fraud.ElevenLabs earlier this week unveiled a new tool that
will allow users to upload any audio sample to identify if it contains
audio generated with the company’s AI.The latest move comes after Sumsub
recently announced a full-scale pivot of its business offering.Sumsub
says it is transforming from a KYC provider to a biometric platform
providing “full-cycle verificatio” for the whole user journey.The new
platform will combine user and business verification, transaction
monitoring, fraud prevention, and case management solutions into a
single dashboard, the company says.Some parties have been keen to argue
for the potential usefulness of digital identity in potentially
preventing this type of generative AI-based fraud.During the recent
semi-annual report of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, the
organization’s director Rohit Chopra, answered questions from members of
Congress, where the risks of generative AI were highlighted.On the
topic, Chopra said: “This identity verification issue, I think if we can
solve that as a core part of the infrastructure in our country, we
could actually reduce a lot of fraud as well.”He adds that: “The
benefits would be big also for market participants.”“You can see in
jurisdictions where they have implemented this digital layer they get a
lot of benefit from it.”Sumsub has been bulking up its solution offering
in 2023. In March 2023, it launched a new Travel Rule solution for
compliance in the crypto industry.This new solution was aimed at helping
businesses work within the bounds of the Financial Action Task Force
(FATF) Recommendation 16 on wire transfers to virtual assets (VA) such
as cryptocurrencies and to Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
India’s
Account Aggregator DPI could promote equitable financial access: World
Bank-Jun 23, 2023, 12:12 am EDT | Bianca Gonzalez
India’s
micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face a credit gap of
between $250 billion and $300 billion. The World Bank says in a blog
post that even before the pandemic, 92 percent of small businesses in
the nation lacked access to formal credit, but the county is on the
right track to address this market barrier.India’s Account Aggregator
(AA) architecture is a part of the nation’s Digital Public
Infrastructure that can help underserved businesses and individuals
access financial institutions, World Bank Consultant Siddharth Dixit
writes.India currently uses a data-fiduciary-centric model. This means
that individuals or businesses would need to go to the original keeper
of their data to gain access, inhibiting the potential for data to be
used for financial empowerment. Current financial data storage methods
are also inefficient and pose privacy threats.The AA architecture will
give individuals complete control over their data by ensuring the
electronic transfer of data is standardized format. This also makes it
easier to transfer information between institutions. The architecture
could have an impact on how financial data is shared comparable to the
impact UPIs has had on money transfers.AAs can transform lending by
overcoming predominant barriers. The architecture can use data as
collateral in cases where potential borrowers would lack physical
collateral. It would also standardize and secure data sharing as well as
lower costs.While only eight banks were a part of the AA ecosystem when
it first launched, today, roughly 200 financial institutions are
active. This includes all public and private banks as well as some
insurance companies. So far in the 2023 fiscal year, roughly $750
million was dispersed using the AA framework, with 50 percent of lending
going to the MSME sector.Originally introduced and made live in 2021,
the AA architecture falls under the Data Empowerment and Protection
Architecture (DEPA) layer, the third of a three-layered system. UPI was
implemented in the nation in 2016, strengthening the second layer,
payments.The Aadhaar Digital ID system was introduced in 2010 and
provides the foundation for the first layer, identity. The Aadhaar
system has reduced the cost of mobile KYC checks from $12 to six cents
each, extending banking to millions of Indians, especially low income
populations.“They have this foundation with the Aadhaar system that
means they can do things that most governments around the world can’t
do,” says American Economist Paul Romer in an interview. “Just as India
did this for Aadhaar for telephony and electronic authentication I think
India could show the world how to do it right.”
Apple expands passkey play, gets patent for Touch ID on desktops-Jun 22, 2023, 5:22 pm EDT | Jim Nash
It
will come as a surprise to very few that Apple continues to play with
its identity features in phones and desktops.Protection from data
threats (and finding new overseas rocks to hide money under) is where it
is at for Apple today.MacRumors is reporting that hardware owners with
an Apple ID will be automatically assigned a passkey starting with
version 17 of iOS and iPadOS and the Sonoma update of macOS.The addition
means Face ID or Touch ID will be the way users log into their Apple ID
account. There is a growing list of Apple proprietary services and
accounts that require sign-in, and Apple’s move will make that process
easier.IT industry stalwart publication Computerworld, says Apple is
after workplace business with this move. Specifically, Managed Apple IDs
now will support syncing that is similar to what is enabled on mobile
devices.Also, it looks like executives noticed how desktop hardware has
been forgotten when it comes to Face and Touch ID. They have been
granted a U.S. patent for fingerprint biometrics on Macs, according to
MacRumors.In fact, the publication notes that this patent is based on
original protection awarded in 2008 that showed biometric ID protection
for Mac-like hardware. Recognition data listed were eyes, nose, mouth
and chin.In the new patent (11676373), Face ID is described as enabling
access to email.
More meetings about AI regulation being discussed in US Congress-Jun 22, 2023, 5:18 pm EDT-| Jim Nash
National
politicians in the United States have honed the ability to look very
busy working on issues they have no ability to or intension of tangibly
addressing.Some senators (upper house) and representatives (lower house)
say they want to yoke artificial intelligence like a once-ornery plow
ox. But commissions and innovation frameworks do not a national strategy
make.Still, onward they march to show voters their central importance
in regulating AI, which is in the spotlight of popular
culture.Democratic Sen. and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says, “Don’t
count Congress out!” in regulating AI so that it is useful and safe. The
algorithms are going to be “as transformative as electricity.”Schumer’s
most immediate projects are a framework and “an all-hands-on-deck
effort in the Senate.”His framework, which providentially can spell out
SAFE Innovation for its name, is designed to promote security,
accountability, foundational values like democracy, explainability and
innovation.Democrats control the Senate, so they stand a chance to
coordinate a lot of hand-waving on the topic.Democrats in the
Republican-held House, however, will have a much harder time making
progress on regulating AI. They are proposing a law that would create a
commission to study regulating AI.“Congress must not stay on the
sidelines,” Rep. Ted Lieu said in a statement supporting the
legislation.These aren’t the first efforts by the federal government to
put a rein on AI, but the work to dates has accomplished no substantive
rules that can be taken seriously in an archly divided Congress.
Rollout of biometric CAT2s begins in Colorado as legacy scanners reject state IDs-Jun 22, 2023, 12:40 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
The
U.S. Transportation Security Administration has installed five of its
new credential authentication terminals from Idemia to process
travellers with face biometrics at Denver International Airport’s North
Security Checkpoint.The test deployment bring TSA’s CAT2 devices to 16
airports in total, an agency spokesperson told local publication
Westword in an email.Idemia Identity & Security North America won a
$128 million contract with TSA earlier this year to deliver its CAT2 ID
document and face biometrics scanners to airports across the
country.Westword brings up concerns about the accuracy of facial
recognition for people with darker skin and with appearances
significantly changed since their ID photos were taken. Those concerns
are in part addressed by the testing the Department of Homeland
Security’s Science & Technology Directorate has carried out with its
Biometric Technology Rally. Idemia I&S was matching 99.7 percent of
individuals without masks back in 2021, and some but not all systems
tested in the 2022 Rally met the threshold met the benchmark set for all
skin tones.A bigger issue for travellers using the automated system may
be from Colorado IDs, which are not being accepted by CAT machines,
according to The Colorado Sun.Colorado driver’s licenses and other IDs
are made by Thales, and travellers recount situations in which they are
repeatedly rejected by first-generation CAT scanners at airports other
than Denver International. Issues were reported scanning Colorado
licenses both at airports within the state and elsewhere in the U.S.The
TSA says travellers with a valid boarding pass and driver’s license will
not be prevented from passing through the checkpoints. The Colorado
Department of Revenue, which is responsible for the state’s IDs, says
the problem is not on its end.
As iris biometrics takes on greater prominence, Neurotechnology touts NIST results-Jun 21, 2023, 6:35 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
Iris
recognition is taking a more prominent place amongst biometric
modalities in recent months, between a series of developments on both
the public sector and commercial sides of the market. As the technology
and market for it mature, evaluations like one just completed by
Neurotechnology go from indications of readiness to important data for
decision-makers.Apple’s latest consumer electronics device, the Vision
Pro virtual reality headset, uses iris biometrics, adding Optic ID to
the company’s established biometrics brands, Touch ID and Face
ID.Worldcoin has continued to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in
funding for its project combining iris biometrics, digital identity and
cryptocurrency.National ID programs like those in Pakistan, Togo and
Jordan are building in iris to enable high accuracy identity
verification and deduplication at scale. In the Philippines, electoral
authority Comelec has begun pushing for iris to be included in voter
registration after finding half a million duplicates on its voter
rolls.As these and other important programs adopt the modality, the
importance of independent testing grows.Neurotechnology scores high
marks in NIST evaluation-Neurotechnology recently submitted its latest
iris recognition algorithm to the NIST IREX 10 evaluation, scoring
single-eye accuracy of 99.14 percent and two-eye accuracy of 99.73
percent.The miss rate for scored by Neurotechnology’s algorithm’s Rank1
results, meaning the top-ranked match is a correct match, are the best
result the test has yet recorded, according to the announcement. The
company emphasizes the importance of this metric for real-time use cases
in law enforcement, civil registration, and visitor management
systems.The assessment shows higher accuracy for Neurotechnology’s
latest algorithm across all categories, including a false
non-identification rate (FNIR) of 0.0107 at false positive
identification rate (FPIR) of 0.01 for single-eye matching. For both
eyes, FNIR at FPIR 0.01 was 0.0033. These results placed Neurotechnology
5th and 6th, respectively, amongst the 29 algorithms on NIST’s
leaderboard as of June, 2023.“We are excited to achieve the top accuracy
in NIST’s evaluation categories and are thrilled to see our algorithm’s
miss rate almost twice as low as the closest competitor in some
assessments,” says Evaldas Borcovas, biometric research lead at
Neurotechnology. “I believe this submission to IREX 10 is one extra step
toward our goal to develop overall the most accurate iris recognition
algorithm.”
CloudWalk joins $421M funding round for chipmaker amid potential AI pivot-Jun 21, 2023, 6:12 pm EDT | William McCurdy
China-based
facial recognition software firm CloudWalk has joined a 3-billion-yuan
(US$421 million) series D round for ESWIN Computer, also based in China,
which makes Internet of Things chips.CloudWalk, which has been
sanctioned by the United States since 2020, has been selling facial
recognition software since 2015. The U.S. and other developed economies
are punishing CloudWalk for its part in supplying software to Beijing
for the oppression of its Muslim Uyghur minority. The firm’s algorithms
continue to show high accuracy in NIST FRVT evaluations.It also has
been involved in a controversial initiative to build a database of all
Zimbabwean registered voters.ESWIN, which was founded in 2016 and is
based in Beijing, is focused on integrated chips, display and video
products, AI processing and wireless communication.The company says it
will use the new funding for research and development into chips known
as RISC-V, according to a report by Deal Street Asia.RISC-V is an
open-source chip design standard, a contrast to the proprietary
blueprints of manufacturers such as ARM or Intel.The round was co-led by
two Chinese state-owned investment groups: Beijing Financial Street
Capital Operation Group and Guoxin Venture Capital.Other investors in
the round included E-town Capital, GF Qianhe Investment, China Jianyin
Investment, Guangzhou Industrial Investment and Capital Operation
Holding Group, China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund II and
Ceyuan Ventures.CloudWalk may be moving away from its facial
recognition-focused business.The company also launched a large AI model
in May, GamingDeputy reports. According to a report by Chinese
state-owned Yicai Global the model is targeted at specific industries,
including finance, gambling and transport.The news follows, and may be
motivated by, a disappointing fiscal 2022. CloudWalk reported revenue of
526 million yuan ($76 million) last year, a 51 percent overall decline,
as well as a net loss of 869 million yuan ($121 million). Revenue from
AI dropped by 87 percent to CNY2.85 million ($412,000).The company
blamed falling revenue on “slower macroeconomic growth, intensified
market competition.”
Zwipe prepares for multiple biometric payment card rollouts in Middle East-Jun 21, 2023, 4:15 pm EDT-| William McCurdy
Norwegian
firm Zwipe has inked a deal with Middle East Payment Services (MEPS),
for the commercial launch of a card based on its biometric Zwipe Pay
solution.MEPS, founded in 2009, has a presence in Jordan, Iraq, and
Palestine, and offers companies a variety of payments and card-based
services. The payment platform is jointly owned by a combination of ten
local and regional banks. The rollout will be the first for biometric
payment cards to include multiple banks, according to a Zwipe
representative.Though the new card will be built on Mastercard’s
ecosystem, the Middle Eastern firm acts as an issuer and acquirer for a
variety of companies such as Visa, MasterCard, and UnionPay,The company
says the latest announcement builds on pilots which have already been
conducted between the two firms over the last few months.In addition,
digital security firm Inkript is set to launch what it says will be the
first commercialized biometric payment card based on Zwipe’s
platform.The new card will be available to ‘VIP’ customers of the Kuwait
International Bank (KIB), a commercial bank based in Kuwait City.This
announcement came during Seamless Middle East 2023, a popular digital
commerce event that is hosted annually in DubaiThis isn’t the first time
Zwipe and Inkript have collaborated.In May this year, Zwipe announced
it would be supplying its biometric Pay card to Taiwanese card maker
Beautiful Card Corp. (BCC) for its Mastercard-based line, with the cards
also being produced by Inkript.Some sources have predicted that growth
is on the horizon for biometric cards. As per Mordor Intelligence, the
worldwide market is predicted to hit $2.7 billion by 2027, up from just
$15.5 million in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
117.76 percent predicted for the forecast period (2022-2027).This
expansion might not be coming quickly enough for some, according to
Zwipe’s most recent financial statement, growth in the sector “is
undeniably slower than” the Norwegian firm would like, as per Zwipe CEO
Robert Puskaric.But it’s not just Zwipe expanding its Middle Eastern
footprint. In May, Zwipe competitor and sometimes-collaborator Idex
Biometrics inked a deal with an unnamed middle eastern card manufacturer
for “scaled deployment within their broad global customer
portfolio.”Idex says its cards are expected to reach the market in the
fourth quarter of 2023.
Daon granted patents for verification of
government-issued IDs-Selected by EFG to prevent fraud in gaming-Jun 21,
2023, 3:45 pm EDT-| Alessandro Mascellino
Digital identity
software maker Daon has announced securing two new patents from the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).Introducing patents
#17/959,731 and #17/971,961 reportedly enhances Daon’s ability to
deliver advanced identity trust solutions by improving the verification
process for government-issued IDs. The announcement refers to the
complexity of ID documents, with more than 550 different types issued in
the U.S. alone.The recently patented technology enhances document
verification for global businesses, enabling them to validate,
authenticate and secure customer identities throughout various stages of
the customer lifecycle.“These newly issued patents reflect our
commitment to innovation and solidify our position at the forefront of
SaaS identity solutions,” comments Daon CEO Tom Grissen.The executive
adds that this marks Daon’s second patent exclusively dedicated to their
newly launched SaaS platform, TrustX.“Our advanced technologies cater
to an array of deployment needs, offering on-premises, hosted, or
entirely SaaS solutions,” Grissen explains. “We’re empowering our
clients with unparalleled control over their identity verification
processes.”TrustX is a cloud-based platform that utilizes artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to reduce fraud and improve
the customer experience in digital identity management.It offers a suite
of tools, including identity verification, authentication and
regulatory compliance. TrustX also features a user-friendly interface
for creating customized workflows and a dashboard with reporting
capabilities, Daon says.“We’re excited about the impact these patents
will have on our technology and our customers,” Grissen concludes.
“We’re continuing to redefine what’s possible in digital identity
trust.”Daon partners with ESL FACEIT Group-Daon also recently entered a
new collaboration with ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), an esports company, to
provide verification and authentication solutions for the gaming
industry.The partnership will see Daon offer its identity verification
and authentication solutions through a single SaaS platform (possibly
TrustX).EFG will utilize Daon’s electronic know-your-customer (eKYC)
capabilities via a web onboarding app and face biometrics-only
registration using software development kits (SDKs).The partnership aims
to address the increasing problem of fraudulent gaming and seeks to
create a more equitable competitive environment.During its integration
with EFG, Daon confirmed it successfully verified tens of thousands of
gamers from various countries worldwide, processing a wide range of ID
documents encompassing 700 different types from over 100 nations.“The
rapid growth of esports, although positive for the industry, comes at a
cost. Gaming sites need to be prepared to offer users industry-leading
technologies in order to combat fraudulent behavior,” warns Clive
Bourke, President of EMEA and APAC at Daon.“Daon’s identity proofing and
authentication technologies will help prevent wide-scale gaming fraud
while promising gamers a frictionless and more equitable competitive
experience.”The integration comes a couple of months after Daon
announced intentions to expand into the healthcare industry.

Japan PM faces resistance to replacement of health
insurance cards with digital ID-Jun 23, 2023, 11:37 am EDT-| Alessandro
Mascellino
The Japanese government’s troubled My Number digital
ID program has done little to quell concerns about incidents of
mishandled personal data, particularly those related to disability
certificates.The issue has sparked objections over to the planned
replacement of health insurance cards next year with My Number IDs.
Japanese doctors have taken the government to court to fight the
mandatory replacement of health insurance cards, arguing it is expensive
to implement.Part of that unease arose when some residents discovered
their ID cards linked to unrelated personal information. This has
intensified pressure on Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who has suffered a
decline in support according to Reuters.In response to the controversy,
Kishida has established a My Number information comprehensive
inspection headquarters to examine the program and prevent similar
errors.Talking at a press conference Wednesday, the head of state said
his government will improve program procedures and operations, including
eligibility documentation.Parliament has enacted a law June 2
effectively mandating My Number IDs to access health care as of fall
2024, the Japan Times reports. The IDs are already linked to tax and
social security records, as well as some bank accounts.“We will work on
the complete abolition of the current health insurance cards on the
premise that measures to dispel public anxiety will be completed,”
Kishida said.Despite the data security concerns, Kishida’s government
has shown no intention of altering the schedule for phasing out health
insurance cards.
G7 data protection authorities endorse 3-pillar plan, nod to privacy-enhancing tech-Jun 23, 2023, 1:38 pm EDT-| William McCurdy
The
G7 Data Protection and Privacy Authorities (DPAs) have endorsed a plan
based on three pillars resulting from a roundtable discussion with the
authorities.The regulators met earlier this month in Japan to discuss
key privacy and data protection topics.The G7 is an intergovernmental
group of officials discussing world economics. Seven large Western
nations make up the group. The DPAs are officials from each nation’s
data privacy agencies.Their three pillars include developing and
implementing the data free flow with trust (DFFT) concept as well as
emerging technologies and enhancing enforcement cooperation.According to
the World Economic Forum, DFFT is a guiding principle for international
cooperation regarding data flows.DFFT has focused on issues like trade
agreements, including e-commerce negotiations at the World Trade
Organization and regional and bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs).The
DPA promised to be “attentive and supportive” of the efforts to develop
the DFFT concept.This pillar includes creating a new institutional
arrangement for partnership and emphasizes that trust is vital to the
flow of data around the globe.The first pillar also promotes a common
understanding of the idea and its key components as related to data
protection and to assess “common goals to ensure a high level of data
protection and privacy.”The second pillar is related to promoting the
development and use of emerging technologies in ways that reinforce
trust and respect privacy.This is said to include collaborative work and
discussions on de-identification, anonymization, pseudonymization and
privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) by “fostering a common
understanding of key terms and concepts in use across G7
jurisdictions.”According to the United Kingdom’s information
commissioner, PETs “are technologies that embody fundamental data
protection principles.”This includes minimizing personal information
use, maximizing information security or empowering people.Many PETS have
direct biometrics and digital identity uses, for example,
zero-knowledge proofs, a cryptographic concept that reduces proofing
transactions to a simple confirmation or denial without sharing details
or user data.This pillar includes creating a terminology reference
document outlining key terms and characteristics of important concepts
used by G7 DPAs to facilitate collaborative work and discussions and to
address relevant international definitions and uses of the terms.The
second pillar is also about fueling adoption and development of PETs by
developing a use case demonstrating how one specific PET (synthetic
data) “can be used to reduce privacy risks while contributing to the
public benefit.” This approach will then be expanded to other use
cases.According to the UK’s ICO, synthetic data is artificial data
created by data synthesis algorithms.This data copies patterns and the
statistical properties of real data, such as personal information, and
is generated from real data.This means that analysis of synthetic data
can produce very similar results to analysis carried out on the original
data while minimizing data collection.The second pillar also concerns
the Global Privacy Assembly 2022 Resolution on Principles and
Expectations for the Appropriate Use of Personal Information in Facial
Recognition Technology, which is meant to set global shared principles
for facial recognition use by public and private organizations.The
pillars also laid out plans to collaborate on the issue of personal data
protection within the context of generative AI “from an ethical, legal,
social, and technical perspective.The third pillar is related to
enforcement cooperation, increasing dialogue among enforcers among the
G7 DPAs and the broader data protection and privacy enforcement
communityThis would involve sharing domestic and international best
practices for effective enforcement collaboration, including successful
cooperation cases, and exploring differences in enforcement from
perspectives of deterrence, accountability and protection of
individuals.The DPAs will report on the progress and achievements of the
plan at the 2024 G7 DPA roundtable, to be held in Italy.
WEF publishes report on decentralized ID, warns of biometrics risks-Jun 23, 2023, 10:28 am EDT-| Masha Borak
Roughly
850 million people in the world still do not have an official ID, while
some of those that have an ID struggle with a lack of control over
privacy and data. Decentralized ID has the promise to deliver digital
identity that addresses these issues, but also poses risks and faces
challenges, a new report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF)
says.The Reimagining Digital ID report lays out a total of 24
recommendations for government officials, regulators and executives,
defining risks such as data exploitation, political and technical risks.
One of the risks highlighted in the report is the possibility of
personal data that is stored centrally being abused for marketing
purposes.“Sensitive data, such as biometrics, carry a high risk of
exploitation,” says the report. ”This is especially concerning in the
case of marginalized communities such as refugees because it can
facilitate discriminatory targeting.”The best policy, the report notes,
is to not collect highly sensitive data such as ethnic affiliation at
all, as these are likely vectors for marginalization or oppression.The
technical and policy analysis offers an overview of decentralized ID
standards and proposals such as Verifiable Credentials (VCs),
decentralized identifiers (DID), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), soulbound
tokens (SBTs). It also lists possible reasons why decentralized ID has
not yet been widely adopted along with case studies.The report was
authored by a group of contributors led by Aiden Slavin, lead of WEF’s
Crypto Impact and Sustainability Accelerator. It was supported by a
working group chaired by ID2020 Head of Advocacy and Communications, and
working group members acknowledged include DIACC’s Joni Brennan,
Privacy International Senior Research Officer Tom Fisher and former
ID2020 Founder Dakota Gruener, OpenCRVS Director of Product Strategy and
Sustainability Edward Duffus, representatives of Accenture and Okta.It
comes just three months after WEF’s Digital Identity Initiative
discussion on international policy and standards framework that
recommended using blockchain technology in building privacy-preserving
digital ID infrastructure.This month, the WEF also issued The Global
Risk Report 2023 laying out current crises and their potential
ramifications. The so-called Insight Report warns about the potential
risks of biometric identification technologies to digital privacy.
Bank
biometrics market $18B by ’32; new deals for Illuma, Journey,
BioCatch-Toppan launches face biometric kiosk-Jun 23, 2023, 4:12 pm
EDT-| Masha Borak
Financial services customers are warming to
biometric authentication and that is pushing growth for
vendors.According to new research by Market Research Future, the banking
biometric market will reach $18 billion in 2032, growing at a
compounded annual rate of 15.8 percent between 2022 and 2032.In 2022,
North American accounted for 45.8 percent of the of the global market.
In fact, the United States was the biggest market and Canada had the
quickest expansion. The researchers expect particularly rapid growth for
the Asia-Pacific region from 2023 to 2032 .Here are some of the latest
deals that account for the growth.Illuma Labs integrates voice with
Glia-Voice authentication firm Illuma Labs is integrating its product
with New York-based Glia with the two companies planning voice
authentication for banks’ customer service.The plan is to join Illuma’s
Shield, the U.S. company’s flagship voice authentication and fraud
prevention software, with Glia’s Interaction platform which enables
agents to interact with customers through multiple channels, including
chat, phone, video and text. The companies say this combination will
reduce friction in authentication and enhance security for their
customers, which include Evans Bank and the WyHy Federal Credit Union,
according to the vendors.Journey.ai lands new customerSecure identity
platform firm Journey has announced that community bank Tradition
Capital Bank, in the U.S. state of Minnesota, has named the company a
trusted vendor.The bank will use Journey’s zero-knowledge ID network,
verifying that something is true or accurate without revealing personal
data. The software enables financial institutions to biometrically
authenticate a customer, lowering fraud risks to privacy, data and
transactions. It also gives banks multiple capabilities, such as face
and document scanning, on mobile devices, according to the
company.BioCatch behavioral biometrics available through Azure-Israel
company BioCatch is making its anti-fraud behavioral biometrics
available on Microsoft’s Cloud for Financial Services, which helps
financial institutions enroll and track clients as well as automate
workflow and reduce fraud.BioCatch has been working on financial threats
with Microsoft since 2011 but the new relationship means that financial
services organizations will be able to buy BioCatch software through
Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace. Azure, which analyzes billions of
sessions per month, has enhanced risk management and protection,
according to BioCatch.Toppan debuts new facial recognition service
kiosk-Toppan Gravity has launched a new service kiosk for the banking
industry equipped with its proprietary facial recognition software
iDenFace. The modular service kiosks were developed in house by IDGate, a
Toppan Gravity subsidiary focused on mobile authentication. Toppan
Gravity itself is a subsidiary of the Japanese printing and
communications conglomerate Toppan Group.Kiosk users can scan their ID
documents and record a selfie. IDenFace detects liveness, matching the
selfie against the document.One of Toppan Gravity’s first clients is in
the Seychelles, where commercial bank Nouvobanq has agreed to put the
kiosks in customer areas.
Notarize launches Proof to bind digital signatures to ID with Persona biometrics-Jun 22, 2023, 4:13 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
Online
real estate service provider Notarize is introducing a platform for
digital signatures compliant with the NIST IAL2 remote identity proofing
standard under a new brand.The company has now launched Proof as an
identity-assured transaction management platform, with identity binding
through Persona’s selfie biometrics.A blog post introducing Proof claims
benefits including smart execution of transactions in line with laws,
regulatory requirements, and company policies, along with collected
evidence that the company says will hold up in court of who has
completed the transaction. The platform also provides fraud prevention
capabilities, with auditing and certification to the highest degree of
identity protection, according to the post.Proof says it is now in the
process of earning IAL2 certification from the Kantara Initiative.“Every
time you sign on the dotted line, we should be constantly evaluating:
‘is this really you?’,” Notarize and Proof Founder Pat Kinsel writes.
“And your identity should be bound to the data with the highest level of
cryptography so your signature can’t be forged or tampered with.”Proof
binds each user’s identity to their digital signature with identity
proofing based on an upload of an ID document and a selfie biometric
check, as depicted on the company’s website. Persona is identified as
Proof’s biometrics partner in its privacy policy. If the biometric check
is not successful, Proof connects the customer with an agent, who acts
as a “trusted referee.” The company says the Notarize Network enables
face-to-face confirmation within seconds.This binds identity to digital
signatures at the level of IAL2, Proof says.Notarize says in its own
blog post that it has secured over $185 billion in real estate deals,
while helping companies save more than 15,000 hours per years and $110
per transaction.
The case for an integrated digital CRVS system
for African countries-Stakeholders discuss initiative in ID4Africa
Livecast-Jun 22, 2023, 1:46 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald
Speakers
during the ID4Africa Livecast on June 21, which was dedicated to
summarising key points from some workshops during the movement’s 2023
Augmented general meeting in Nairobi, have made a strong case for
African countries to have an integrated and harmonized digital Civil
Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system that will accelerate
birth registration on the continent.The virtual event segment made a
synopsis of key highlights from discussions at an in-person exchange
during one of the workshops during the AGM in Nairobi which focused on
exploring ways of developing the African e-CRVS Shared Asset
(ACSA).Participants included officials from development partners UNICEF
and UNECA, four African governments who shared their country experiences
and perspectives, and a representative from OpenCRVS, a standards-based
open-source solution for civil registration.The contributions generally
recognized the slow nature of birth registration efforts on the
continent and the possibility of African countries having a uniform and
standardized approach to birth registration digitization through the
creation of an integrated CRVS system through which countries will
benefit from each other’s experience.Thoughts on CRVS shared asset
design, implementationThe exchanges were aimed at providing more clarity
in terms of business processes and implementation modalities of the
shared asset.One of the UNICEF officials, Fui Meng Liew, said one issue
which came out strong during the in-person discussions on the subject
was the challenges in birth registration digitization in Africa,
especially from the data fragmentation perspective where some
governments keep many databases and such data is not easily shared with
each other when it comes to birth registration.To change this, she said
she believes there is need for certain archaic processes and policies to
be updated, including the need for legislation on data privacy and
protection.“Our aim was to see how the notion of an African e-CRVS
shared asset can be teased out. We shared some of our ideas and
experiences about the need to have core design principles, whether it is
for design for scale to make sure that systems are interoperable,
adopting open standards for data sharing, protecting privacy and
securing the users, and making sure that there is inclusion in the
e-CRVS system. Without users coming along, the asset would not be
successful if we have to start this journey,” said Liew.Liew’s colleague
at UNICEF, Bhaskar Mishra, said the idea of developing a digital CRVS
shared asset has been well-received by African counties.“The concept was
well received. You know that the idea of developing a shared asset is
not new. It is part of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 which talks about
where Africa wants to be by that year. It is in line with some of the
aspirations and recommendations of the conference of ministers of Africa
in charge of civil registration,” said Mishra.He added that the African
Union, UNECA, and UN Legal Identity have each called for a uniform and
standard approach to digitization of CRVS systems and have also
emphasised the need for South-South cooperation, which favours learning
from one another.Mishra also corroborated Liew on the need to pay
attention to core design principles in making the shared asset project
work. Core design principles, technological and non-technological
solutions and a digital CRVS solution or ‘stack’ are the crux of the
shared asset, he said, adding that it is also important to “follow a
consortium approach, to take advantage of the features of open source,
proprietary and home-grown solutions and offer it to countries for
free.”Another important issue, according to Mishra, is to establish an
advisory body that will provide technical and oversight support to the
shared asset implementation process.Edward Duffus of OpenCRVS explained
the import of a digital CRVS system as a digital public infrastructure.
“A digital civil registration system is a critical part of digital
public infrastructure. It is an enabler of the foundational identity
ecosystem,” he noted.He said the huge interest notwithstanding, there
are a lot of issues to figure out. “The essence of creating a common
asset also requires a degree of harmonization. We know that a lot of
countries have their own specific laws, processes, and systems. Thus,
this will need a significant amount of will power and vision across
Africa to get this moving.”He mentioned reusable standards, best
practices, technology components and the need to deal with data
fragmentation by ensuring the protection of personal data in a highly
secure way, and making a shared asset system implementation and
maintenance easy.Chiming in to the discussion, a former UNICEF director
of child protection, Cornelius Williams, said to successfully build such
an asset, sufficient financial resources and technical skills are
needed and countries must step up and show leadership and agility by
parting ways with some of their bureaucratic policies which have given
rise to structural failures.A UNECA official, William Muhwava,
reiterated the position of African Ministers in charge of civil
registration during a meeting in Mauritania where they recommended the
putting in place of a common ICT system, with the highest standard of
data protection and confidentiality, that will promote interoperability
among civil registration, health, and identity management systems to
meet the needs of all African countries.He remarked that a study carried
out by UNECA revealed that national ID systems in some countries are
stronger than civil registration systems which is something to worry
about given that ID systems cannot work properly without strong
foundations.The official also raised the question of who will coordinate
the shared asset implementation drive. “If we are going into a common
asset, then that’s one thing we have to look at. Who is going to
coordinate? Who is going to provide the leadership?” he questioned
rhetorically.In any case, he stated that African counties looking
forward to such a system have to think about how to build the right
standards and set a platform of strong leadership and
collaboration.African countries welcome initiative-Representatives from
ID and civil registration authorities of the four African countries,
namely Rosemary Kisembo from Uganda; Togbe Agbagla from Togo; Tulimeke
Munyika from Namibia and Djenabou Camara from Guinea, each took the
floor to share their country experiences, expectations and perspectives
on the proposed digital CRVS shared asset for Africa.All four were
unanimous that the digital CRVS shared asset is a welcome idea that will
help streamline civil registration on the continent, although they made
divergent proposals on how they think the ACSA system can get
running.“Yes, we need this shared digital CRVS system. There are 54
countries in Africa. There are things that we share without doubt. We
also need to identity what our common goal is with such a system,” said
Kisembo as she shared her take on some of the things that can easily be
agreed upon by African governments when it comes to designing such an
integrated system.Agbagla from Togo talked about the need to develop a
common toolkit that would act as a guide, while Munyika from Namibia
emphasized the need for countries to create a stage where nations which
are far ahead in their CRVS pursuits can share their experiences with
the others and carry them along.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say
unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company
to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS

1 Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I
will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION
RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy
bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the
people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall
burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood
out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of
the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of
the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I
my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame,
and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I
have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Wagner chief says his forces halting advance toward Moscow to avoid bloodshed-JUN 24,23
The
head of the Wagner force says he has ordered his mercenaries to halt
their march on Moscow and retreat to their field camps in Ukraine to
avoid shedding Russian blood.The announcement from Yevgeny Prigozhin
appears to defuse a growing crisis. Moscow had braced for the arrival of
the private army led by the rebellious commander. And Russian President
Vladimir Putin had vowed he would face harsh consequences.Prigozhin
says that while his men are just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow,
he decided to turn them back to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”He
doesn’t say whether the Kremlin has responded to his demand to oust
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. There is no immediate comment from the
Kremlin.The announcement follows a statement from the office of
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko saying that he had negotiated a
deal with Prigozhin after previously discussing the issue with
Putin.Prigozhin has accepted Lukashenko’s offer to halt the Wagner
group’s advance and further steps to de-escalate the tensions,
Lukashenko’s office said, adding that the proposed settlement contains
security guarantees for Wagner troops. It didn’t elaborate.
Israel
issues advisory warning against travel to Russia as mercenary group
rebels-PM, diplomats to discuss developments as Putin regime faces
internal challenge by Wagner Group-By ToI Staff and Agencies -JUN
24,23-Today, 8:18 pm
The Foreign Ministry issued a travel
advisory against travel to Russia Saturday evening, as Vladimir Putin’s
regime faced a mutiny by the mercenary Wagner Group.A ministry notice
advised Israelis “to weigh the necessity” of traveling to Russia and
urged those in the country “to weigh the essentiality” of remaining in
the country. It also called on those in Russia to avoid “hotspots.”Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Foreign Ministry and the National
Security Council were set to hold meetings Saturday evening on
developments in Russia.Channel 12 news noted that issuing the travel
advisory was sensitive for Jerusalem, which has sought to navigate
between the desire to offer some support for Ukraine amid the ongoing
Russian invasion while maintaining ties with Moscow.Israel’s need to
carry out airstrikes on Iranian-linked targets in neighboring Syria,
where there is a Russian military presence, and the need to protect the
large Jewish community in Russia, have been cited as the primary reasons
for the Israeli stance on the fighting in Ukraine.A number of Hebrew
media outlets reported that the Foreign Ministry was planning to send
additional consul officials to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the coming
days due to an expected rise in requests for travel documents.Citing
Foreign Ministry estimates, the reports said some 70,000 Israeli
citizens are believed to currently be in Russia, along with some 500,000
Jews and those eligible to immigrate to Israel.Rebel mercenaries
advanced north towards Moscow after seizing a key military base
Saturday, just as Kremlin chief Putin vowed to defeat the revolt and
head off the threat of civil war.The rapidly escalating events mark the
most serious challenge yet to the Russian president’s rule — and
Russia’s most serious security crisis since the strongman came to power
in late 1999.Putin’s spokesman insisted the Russian leader was still at
work in the Kremlin and had not fled Moscow, as regular forces launched a
“counter-terrorist operation” to halt the rebel advance in the Voronezh
region, on the Wagner force’s route to the capital.The governor of the
Lipetsk region, whose capital is just 420 kilometers (260 miles) south
of Moscow, said Wagner’s private military force was “moving across” the
territory and urged civilians not to leave their homes.In the capital,
the mayor urged Muscovites to stay indoors and declared Monday a day off
work.“The situation is difficult. I ask you to refrain from traveling
around the city as much as possible,” Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a
statement, warning of possible road closures.The person recording this
video comments the Wagner PMC convoy keeps moving like this past her for
more than 30 minutes already. In Voronezh, toward Moscow.

2023-Ukrainian leaders, meanwhile, reveled in the outbreak of
in-fighting among its Russian foes, with a deputy defense minister
describing it as a “window of opportunity” for Kyiv’s latest
counteroffensive to rid its territory of Russian forces.Kyiv’s top
general, Valery Zaluzhny talked to US chairman of the joint chiefs
General Mark Milley and told him that Ukraine’s counteroffensive “was
going according to plan.”The Russian foreign ministry retorted that it
would achieve all the goals set for what it calls the “special military
operation” would be achieved, and warned the West against trying to
exploit the revolt for “Russophobic goals.”Wagner chief Yevgeny
Prigozhin, once a close Putin ally, said his troops had taken control of
the military command center and airbase in the southern city of
Rostov-on-Don, the nerve center of Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, and
vowed to topple Moscow’s top military leaders.“We got to Rostov. Without
a single shot we captured the HQ building,” he said, in an audio
message on social media channels, claiming that local civilians had
welcomed the operation.“Why does the country support us? Because we went
on a march of justice,” he said, claiming his men had not killed any
soldiers despite having been hit with strikes from army “artillery and
after that from helicopters.”Responding to the challenge in a televised
address, Putin accused Prigozhin — whose private army provided shock
troops for Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine — of a “stab in the back” that
posed a threat to Russia’s very survival.
Head of US military
cancels trip to Israel amid Russia crisis-General Mark Milley puts of
Middle East plans, shortly before Wagner Group announces it is halting
its advance on Moscow-By Agencies Today,JUN 24,23- 9:38 pm
The
top military officer in the United States canceled a trip to the Middle
East on Saturday as the crisis in Russia intensified, a spokesman
said.Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
had been due to travel to Israel and Jordan. That trip was postponed
“due to the situation in Russia,” a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs told
AFP.Jake Sullivan, US President Joe Biden’s national security advisor,
also canceled a trip Saturday, instead accompanying the president to
Camp David. Sullivan had been scheduled to attend a conference on
Ukraine in Denmark.Milley had been due to leave for the Middle East on
Saturday.Shortly after Milley’s trip was canceled, Wagner leader Yevgeny
Prigozhin ordered his troops to halt their advance and return to their
bases. It was not immediately clear whether this would affect the
decision.In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin faced the biggest
threat to his rule yet when rebel mercenaries advanced toward the
Russian capital after seizing a key military base.But by evening,
Prigozhin said he had ordered his mercenaries to halt their march on
Moscow and retreat to their field camps in Ukraine to avoid shedding
Russian blood.Moscow had braced for the arrival of a private army led by
the rebellious mercenary commander by erecting checkpoints with armored
vehicles and troops on its southern edge. Red Square was shut down, and
the mayor urged motorists to stay off some roads.Prigozhin said that
while his men were just 200 kilometers (120 miles) from Moscow, he
decided to turn them back to avoid “shedding Russian blood.”

24,23-Today, 11:32 am
Russian President Vladimir Putin on
Saturday vowed to defend the country from an armed rebellion declared by
mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, which Putin called a”deadly threat”
and “stab in the back” to Russia.“All those who prepared the rebellion
will suffer inevitable punishment. The armed forces and other government
agencies have received the necessary orders,” Putin said in a televised
address to the nation.Prigozhin, the owner of the Wagner private
military contractor, confirmed Saturday morning that he and his troops
reached a key Russian city after crossing the border from Ukraine. Later
Saturday, a 5,000-strong Wagner convoy was reported heading toward
Moscow.Prigozhin posted a video of himself in Rostov-on-Don at the
Russian military headquarters that oversees the fighting in Ukraine. He
claimed that his forces had military facilities in the city under their
control, including the airfield. Other videos posted on social media
showed military vehicles, including tanks, on the streets outside.Putin
condemned the rebellion at a time when Russia was “fighting the toughest
battle for its future” with its war in Ukraine. “The entire military,
economic and information machine of the West is waged against us,” Putin
said. In a recorded address, Russian President Vladimir Putin says the
Wagner group rebellion is a 'criminal campaign' and an 'equivalent to
armed mutiny'. Read more: https://t.co/1orZVTlEif

the rebellion a “deadly threat” to Russia and urged the country to
unite.“Any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our statehood and to
us as a nation. This is a blow to Russia and to our people,” Putin said.
“This battle, when the fate of our people is being decided, requires
the unification of all forces and unity.”“Extravagant ambitions and
personal interests led to treason,” Putin said, referring to Prigozhin,
who built his powerbase as a catering contractor to the Kremlin and now
runs a private military force.“All those who consciously stood on the
path of betrayal, who prepared an armed rebellion, stood on the path of
blackmail and terrorist methods, will suffer inevitable punishment,
before the law and before our people,” Putin vowed.He also acknowledged a
“difficult” situation was unfolding in Rostov-on-Don.“There will be
decisive measures taken on stabilizing the situation in Rostov-on-Don,”
Putin said.”It remains difficult and the work of civil and military
authorities in fact is being blocked.”Prigozhin called himself a
patriot.“Regarding the betrayal of the motherland, the president was
deeply mistaken. We are patriots of our homeland,” he said in an audio
message on his Telegram channel.He said his fighters would not turn
themselves in at the request of Putin, as “we do not want the country to
live on in corruption, deceit and bureaucracy.”Prigozhin’s Wagner
private military contractor has been fighting alongside Russian troops
in Ukraine. It wasn’t immediately clear what his aims were, but the
rebellion marks an escalation in Prigozhin’s struggle with Russian
military leaders, who he has accused of botching the war in Ukraine and
hamstringing his forces in the field.“This is not a military coup, but a
march of justice,” Prigozhin said.Prigozhin earlier said his forces
faced no resistance from young conscripts at checkpoints as they crossed
into Russia from Ukraine, saying his troops “aren’t fighting against
children.”“But we will destroy anyone who stands in our way,” he said in
one of a series of angry video and audio recordings posted on social
media beginning late Friday. “We are moving forward and will go until
the end.”Further north, on Wagner’s possible route towards Moscow, the
governor of Russia’s Voronezh region said the armed forces had launched a
“counter-terrorist operation” to suppress the revolt. A fuel depot on
Voronezh city was on fire, he said.Russia’s security services had
responded to Prigozhin’s declaration of an armed rebellion by calling
for his arrest. In a sign of how seriously the Kremlin took the threat,
authorities declared a “counterterrorist regime” in Moscow and its
surroundings, allowing restricted freedoms and enhancing security in the
capital.It was not immediately clear how Prigozhin was able to enter
the southern Russian city or how many troops he had with him.Prigozhin
alleged that Wagner field camps in Ukraine were struck by rockets,
helicopter gunships and artillery fire on orders from the chief of the
General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, following a meeting in Rostov with
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at which they decided to destroy Wagner.
He also said his forces shot down a Russian military helicopter that
fired on a civilian convoy, but there was no independent
confirmation.Prigozhin said he had 25,000 troops under his command and
would punish Shoigu in an armed rebellion, and urged the army not to
offer resistance: “This is not a military coup, but a march of
justice.”While the outcome of the confrontation was still unclear, it
appeared likely to further hinder Moscow’s war effort as Kyiv’s forces
were probing Russian defenses in the initial stages of a
counteroffensive. The dispute, especially if Prigozhin were to prevail,
also could have repercussions for Putin and his ability to maintain a
united front.The Wagner forces have played a crucial role in Russia’s
war in Ukraine, succeeding in taking the city where the bloodiest and
longest battles have taken place, Bakhmut. But Prigozhin has
increasingly criticized Russia’s military brass, accusing it of
incompetence and of starving his troops of weapons and ammunition. ????

June 24, 2023-On Friday, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee, which is
part of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, charged Prigozhin with
calling for an armed rebellion, punishable by up to 20 years in
prison.The FSB urged Wagner’s contract soldiers to arrest Prigozhin and
refuse to follow his “criminal and treacherous orders.” It called his
statements a “stab in the back to Russian troops” and said they amounted
to fomenting armed conflict.Heavy military trucks and armored vehicles
were seen in several parts of central Moscow early Saturday, and
soldiers toting assault rifles were deployed outside the main building
of the Defense Ministry. The area around the presidential administration
near Red Square was blocked, snarling traffic.But even with the
heightened military presence, downtown bars and restaurants were filled
with customers. At one club near the headquarters of the FSB, people
were dancing in the street near the entrance.Prigozhin, whose feud with
the Defense Ministry dates back years, had refused to comply with a
requirement that military contractors sign contracts with the ministry
before July 1. In a statement late Friday, he said he was ready to find a
compromise but “they have treacherously cheated us.”“Today they carried
out a rocket strike on our rear camps, and a huge number of our
comrades got killed,” Prigozhin said. The Defense Ministry denied
attacking the Wagner camps.“The evil embodied by the country’s military
leadership must be stopped,” he shouted.Col. Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the
deputy commander of the Russian group of forces fighting in Ukraine,
urged the Wagner forces to stop any move against the army, saying it
would play into the hands of Russia’s enemies, who are “waiting to see
the exacerbation of our domestic political situation.”Tatiana Stanovaya,
a political analyst, predicted this would be the end of Prigozhin.“Now
that the state has actively engaged, there’s no turning back,” she
tweeted. “The termination of Prigozhin and Wagner is imminent. The only
possibility now is absolute obliteration, with the degree of resistance
from the Wagner group being the only variable. Surovikin was dispatched
to convince them to surrender. Confrontation seems totally futile.”Lt.
Gen. Vladimir Alexeyev, a top military officer, denounced Prigozhin’s
move as “madness” that threatens civil war.“It’s a stab in the back to
the country and the president… Such a provocation could only be staged
by enemies of Russia,” he said.The Defense Ministry said in a statement
that Ukraine was concentrating troops for an attack around Bakhmut to
take advantage of “Prigozhin’s provocation.” It said Russian artillery
and warplanes were firing on Ukrainian forces as they prepared an
offensive.In Washington, the Institute for the Study of War said “the
violent overthrow of Putin loyalists like Shoigu and Gerasimov would
cause irreparable damage to the stability of Putin’s perceived hold on
power.”At the White House, National Security Council spokesperson Adam
Hodge said: “We are monitoring the situation and will be consulting with
allies and partners on these developments.”In Kyiv, a Russian missile
attack killed at least two people and injured eight Saturday when
falling debris caused a fire on several floors of a 24-story apartment
building in a central district, Serhii Popko, the head of the city’s
military administration posted on Telegram.He said more than 20 missiles
were detected and destroyed. Video from the scene showed a blaze in the
upper floors of the building and the parking lot strewn with ash and
debris.
Wagner chief vows to ‘go to the end’ to oust Moscow top

justice’; heavy military trucks, armored vehicles seen in capital-By
Agencies and ToI Staff-JUN 24,23- Today, 6:19 am
The head of the
Russian mercenary group Wagner vowed Saturday to take all necessary
steps to topple the country’s military leadership in Moscow, saying his
forces would “destroy everything” in their way.“We are going onwards and
we will go to the end,” Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a new audio message
after vowing to sideline Russia’s military leadership. He said his
forces had entered the southern Russian region of Rostov but did not
provide any proof and AFP could not independently verify his
claims.There was also no confirmation of that yet on Russian social
networks. Videos showed heavy trucks blocking highways leading to the
city, long convoys of National Guard trucks were seen on a road outside
Rostov and armored vehicles were roaming the streets.“We will destroy
everything that stands in our way,” Prigozhin warned in one of the
recordings.Prigozhin, who has for months been mired in a feud with the
defense ministry, on Friday accused Moscow of targeting his forces with
deadly missile strikes and vowed to retaliate.He urged Russians to join
his forces and punish Moscow’s military leadership in the most audacious
challenge to President Vladimir Putin since the start of the offensive
in Ukraine last year.Prigozhin claimed early Saturday that his forces
had crossed from Ukraine and had reached Rostov, saying they faced no
resistance from young conscripts at checkpoints and that his forces
“aren’t fighting against children.”“But we will destroy anyone who
stands in our way,” he said in one of a series of angry video and audio
recordings posted on social media beginning late Friday.He claimed that
the chief of the General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, scrambled
warplanes to strike Wagner’s convoys, which were driving alongside
ordinary vehicles. Prigozhin also said his forces shot down a Russian
military helicopter that fired on a civilian convoy, but there was no

six reactors have been shut down for months. Zelensky said he expected
other nations to “give appropriate signals and exert pressure” on
Moscow.The Kremlin’s spokesman has denied the threat to the plant is

Kremlin orders arrest of Wagner
leader after he calls to oust Russian defense chief-Notorious head of
mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin posts angry videos accusing Sergei
Shoigu of ordering rocket strike on Wagner’s field camps in Ukraine,
urges armed rebellion-By AP-JUN 24,23-Today, 2:29 am
The owner of
the Wagner private military contractor escalated his direct challenge
to the Kremlin on Friday, calling for an armed rebellion aimed at
ousting Russia’s defense minister. The security services reacted
immediately by opening a criminal investigation into Yevgeny Prigozhin
and calling for his arrest.Prigozhin posted a series of angry video and
audio recordings in which he accused Russian Defense Minister Sergei
Shoigu of ordering a rocket strike Friday on Wagner’s field camps in
Ukraine, where his troops are fighting on behalf of Russia.Prigozhin
said his troops would now punish Shoigu in an armed rebellion and urged
the army not to offer resistance. “This is not a military coup, but a
march of justice,” Prigozhin declared.The National Anti-Terrorism
Committee, which is part of the Federal Security Services, or FSB, said
he would be investigated on charges of calling for an armed rebellion.
The FSB urged Wagner’s contract soldiers to arrest Prigozhin and refuse
to follow his “criminal and treacherous orders.” It called his
statements a “stab in the back to Russian troops” and said they amounted
to fomenting an armed conflict in Russia.Prigozhin has often been with
his troops near the frontline in Ukraine, but his whereabouts on Friday
were unclear.In a sign of how seriously the Kremlin was taking the
threat, riot police and the National Guard have been scrambled to
tighten security at key facilities in Moscow, including government
agencies and transport infrastructure, the state news agency Tass
reported.Russia’s chief prosecutor said the criminal investigation was
justified and that an armed rebellion charge carries a penalty of up to
20 years imprisonment.Russian generals accused Prigozhin late on Friday
of attempting a coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin, The New
York Times reported.Putin has been informed about the situation and “all
the necessary measures were being taken, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry
Peskov said.Wagner’s forces have played a crucial role in Russia’s war
in Ukraine, succeeding in taking the city where the bloodiest and
longest battles have taken place, Bakhmut. Prigozhin has frequently
criticized Russia’s military brass, accusing it of incompetence and of
starving his troops of weapons and ammunition, but his accusations and
calls for armed rebellion Friday were a more direct challenge.The
Russian Defense Ministry required all military contractors to sign
contracts with it before July 1, but Prigozhin, whose feud with the
Defense Ministry dates back years, refused to comply. In a statement
issued late Friday, he said he was ready to find a compromise with the
Defense Ministry, but “they have treacherously cheated us.”“Today they
carried out a rocket strike on our rear camps, and a huge number of our
comrades got killed,” he said. The Defense Ministry denied attacking the
Wagner camps.Prigozhin claimed that Shoigu went to the Russian military
headquarters in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don personally to direct
the strike on Wagner and then “cowardly” fled.“This scum will be
stopped,” he said, in a reference to Shoigu.“The evil embodied by the
country’s military leadership must be stopped,” he shouted, urging the
army not to offer any resistance to Wagner as it moves to “restore
justice.”Security also was heightened in Rostov-on-Don, Tass reported.
Its correspondent said military and law enforcement personnel were seen
on the streets, with at least one armored personnel carrier and aerial
patrols.Col. Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of the Russian
group of forces fighting in Ukraine, urged the Wagner forces to stop any
move against the army, saying it would play into the hands of Russia’s
enemies, who are “waiting to see the exacerbation of our domestic
political situation.”Another top military officer, Lt. Gen. Vladimir
Alexeyev, denounced Prigozhin’s move as “madness” and threatened to
unleash a civil war in Russia.“It’s a stab in the back to the country
and the president,” he said. “It’s impossible to imagine a stronger blow
to the image of Russia and its armed forces. Such a provocation could
only be staged by enemies of Russia.”The Russian Defense Ministry said
in a statement that the Ukrainian military was concentrating troops to
launch an attack around Bakhmut to take advantage of “Prigozhin’s

other developments in the Ukraine, war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr

planning to attack an occupied nuclear power plant to cause a radiation
disaster.Members of his government briefed international representatives
on the possible threat to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, whose
six reactors have been shut down for months.Zelensky said he expected
other nations to “give appropriate signals and exert pressure” on
Moscow.The Kremlin’s spokesman has denied the threat to the plant is
coming from Russian forces.The potential for a life-threatening release
of radiation has been a concern since Russian troops invaded Ukraine
last year and seized the plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power station.
The head of the UN’s atomic energy agency spent months trying to
negotiate the establishment of a safety perimeter to protect the
facility as nearby areas came under repeated shelling, but he has been
unsuccessful.The International Atomic Energy Agency noted Thursday that
“the military situation has become increasingly tense” while a Ukrainian
counteroffensive that got underway this month unfolds in Zaporizhzhia
province, where the namesake plant is located, and in an adjacent part
of Donetsk province.Although the last of the plant’s six reactors was
shut down last fall to reduce the risk of a meltdown, experts have
warned that a radiation release could still happen if the system that
keeps the reactors’ cores and spent nuclear fuel cool loses power or
water.During months of fighting, Russia and Ukraine have traded blame
over which side was increasing the threat to the plant. On Friday, IAEA
Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi met with the head of Russian
state nuclear corporation Rosatom in the Kaliningrad exclave of Russia
to discuss the conditions at the plant. Rosatom director Alexey Likachev
and other officials “emphasized that they now expect specific steps”
from the UN agency to prevent Ukrainian attacks on the plant and its
adjacent territory, said a statement from the Russian corporation, whose
divisions build and operate nuclear power plants.Earlier this week,
Ukrainian officials accused Russia of mining the plant’s cooling system,
already under threat from a dam collapse earlier this week that drew
down water in a reservoir that the power station uses.Ukrainian Deputy
Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said Friday that Russia has beefed up its
defense forces in southern Ukraine in response to the early
counteroffensive and intensified its efforts to take more ground in the
east. Asked if the Ukrainian military’s initial attacks set the stage
for a larger assault, Maliar told Ukrainian television: “We are yet to
see the main events, and the main blow. And indeed, a part of reserves
will be used later.”Ukrainian forces so far have made only incremental
gains in Zaporizhzhia province, one of four regions that Putin illegally
annexed last year. Putin has pledged to defend the regions as Russian
territory.Zelensky has said that Ukraine is fighting to force Russian
troops out of those regions, as well as the Crimean Peninsula, which
Moscow illegally annexed in 2014 and is using as a staging and supply
route in the 16-month-old war. If the counteroffensive breaks the
Russian defenses in the south, Ukrainian forces could attempt to reach a
pair of occupied port cities on the Sea of Azov and break Russia’s land
bridge to Crimea.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she

Mike
Pence calls for federal ban on abortion at 15-weeks-At one-year
anniversary of Dobbs decision, Republican candidates seek to
differentiate themselves from Trump-By Will Weissert and Michelle L.
Price JUN 24,23-Today, 8:04 pm
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former US vice
president Mike Pence used a Friday gathering of some of the nation’s
leading Christian conservatives to urge his rivals for the Republican
presidential nomination to support a 15-week federal abortion ban at
minimum.The exhortation at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual
conference, coming a day before the first anniversary of the Supreme
Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, amounted to a challenge for
the GOP front-runner, Donald Trump, who has been reluctant to endorse a
federal abortion ban. The former president is addressing the evangelical
assembly on Saturday night.“We must not rest and we must not relent
until we restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law in
every state in this country,” Pence said. “Every Republican candidate
for president should support a ban on abortion [after] 15 weeks as a
minimum nationwide standard.”Pence was among a number of 2024 Republican
presidential hopefuls — including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen.
Tim Scott of South Carolina — to speak Friday before a ballroom of about
500 attendees. All of the candidates emphasized their anti-abortion
credentials while urging like-minded activists to stay on the political
offensive, even as leading Democrats insist their party’s defense of
abortion rights will be a 2024 boon to them.DeSantis, who signed a law
in Florida banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, touted the
measure with a nod toward Trump’s veiled criticism last month that it is
“too harsh.”“It was the right thing to do,” DeSantis told the crowd.
“Don’t let anyone tell you it wasn’t.”DeSantis has been less clear on
where he stands on a federal abortion ban.Not far from the conference
site in Washington, US President Joe Biden and US Vice President Kamala
Harris were rallying Friday with abortion rights supporters to mark the
anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
decision.That ruling, issued June 24, 2022, ended federal constitutional
abortion protections and paved the way for near-total bans in some
Republican-led states. Democrats have vowed to codify the right to an
abortion in federal law, but don’t have the votes in Congress to do
so.“Since that dark June day last year, each one of you has worked
tirelessly to fight back,” Biden told activists from reproductive rights
groups. “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”Referring to supporters of Trump’s
Make America Great Again movement, the president added, “What’s really
remarkable is despite the will of the American people, MAGA Republicans
made it clear that they won’t stop with the Dobbs decision.”After
stronger-than-expected results in last year’s midterm elections,
Democrats believe issues surrounding abortion access can energize their
base, attract moderates alienated by GOP hardliners and help the party
hold the Senate, flip the House and reelect BidenEven Trump has
suggested that increased abortion restrictions are a weakness for
Republicans, despite his three Supreme Court nominees making up the
majority of justices who voted to overturn Roe last year.He posted on
his social media site in January that the party’s underwhelming midterm
performance “wasn’t my fault” and blamed “the ’abortion issue,’ poorly
handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No
Exceptions, even in the case of Rape, Incest, or Life of the
Mother.”Yet the mood at Friday’s Faith & Freedom Coalition session
was jubilant, with attendees cheering every mention of Roe v. Wade’s
reversal. “Thank God almighty for the Dobbs decision,” Scott told the
crowd.Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom
Coalition, said the conference’s dates were set years ago, so the fact
that it spans the Dobbs anniversary is a “serendipitous coincidence.”
Still, he said the gathering is out to ensure top Republican candidates
don’t get complacent when it comes to opposing abortion.“We’re certainly
going to do everything that we can, as an organization and as a
pro-life and pro-family movement, to give our candidates a little bit of
a testosterone booster shot and explain to them that they should not be
on the defensive,” Reed said in an interview before the conference
began. “Those who are afraid of it need to, candidly, grow a
backbone.”Ralph Reed speaks during a Donald Trump campaign event

patriotism, July 23, 2020, in Alpharetta, Ga. The Faith & Freedom
Coalition’s annual conference will be held in Washington. Reed is the

gathering by saying that “after 50 years of prayer, and fasting and
knocking on doors and electing candidates and registering voters and
changing the culture of our country, Roe v Wade has been
overturned.”Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, head of the Democrats’ Senate
campaign arm, said this week that top Republican presidential candidates
will back a nationwide ban to win support in their GOP primaries, then
shift to a more moderate position for the general election.“They’re not
going to get away with that,” Peters said.Among GOP candidates, Pence
has previously said he’d support banning abortion nationally after just
six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.His
declaration Friday that a ban at 15 weeks should be the “minimum
nationwide standard” mirrors a call from the anti-abortion group Susan
B. Anthony Pro-Life America. The organization has vowed not to support
any White House candidate who doesn’t support a 15-week federal ban at a
minimum.Scott also has praised South Carolina’s six-week ban and backs a
15-week federal prohibition. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley supports a
federal ban but hasn’t said at what point in pregnancy she would seek
to ban abortions.Trump has avoided specifying what national limits, if
any, he would support on abortion.A deeply devout, evangelical
Christian, Pence was greeted far more warmly at this year’s Faith &
Freedom Coalition conference than he was the last time he addressed the
group in 2021. Then, he was booed by some and faced shouts of “traitor.”
That event, held in Florida, came months after the January 6
insurrection at the US Capitol, when Pence defied Trump’s unprecedented
demands to overturn Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.The tamer
reaction came after Reed warned Friday’s audience about booing or
verbally expressing disagreement with any presidential candidates: “If
they’re not where they need to be, then let’s just love them and pray
them right where they need to go.”Not everyone heeded that warning.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has built his 2024 candidacy
around criticizing Trump, drew boos when he said the former president is
more interested in promoting himself than the country’s interests.A
woman near the stage bellowed “We love Trump” and a few others tried to
start chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” but Christie was able to finish
his speech.“You can boo all you want but here’s the thing, our faith
teaches us that people have to take responsibility for what they do,”
said Christie, who is Catholic. “People have to stand up and take
accountability for what they do.”
