Canada monitoring new COVID variant BA.2.86 found in at least 4 countries-By Sean Boynton Global News-Posted August 18, 2023 8:13 pm

The Public Health Agency of Canada is tracking a new, highly mutated variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 which has been detected in at least four countries, Health Canada says, but no cases have been detected in Canada so far.The World Health Organization said this week it had classified BA.2.86 a “variant under monitoring” due to the “large number of mutations identified.” Cases have been identified in the U.S., Denmark, the U.K. and Israel, though fewer than 10 confirmed cases have been reported worldwide as of Friday.“Public Health Agency of Canada scientists, along with national and international experts, are actively monitoring and evaluating BA.2.86 lineages and their associated studies,” a Health Canada spokesperson told Global News in a statement.As of Friday, “there have been no detections of the BA.2.86 lineage in Canada,” spokesperson Anna Maddison said.The WHO characterizes a “variant under monitoring” as one that shows early signs of “growth advantage” compared to more dominant circulating variants that requires further evidence of its potential impact, according to updated guidance released Thursday.The global health agency said on social media that more data is needed to understand BA.2.86, but added the number of mutations “warrants attention.”Mutations can allow the SARS-CoV-2 virus to be more transmissible and evade antibodies contained in vaccines, depending on the evolution of the variant.Countries that have reported cases have all noted that BA.2.86 has mutated enough that it appears “distant” from its likely parents, including the currently-dominant XBB.1.5 variant of Omicron, which itself was much more transmissible and deadly than the original strain of SARS-CoV-2.-More data are needed to understand this #COVID19 variant and the extent of its spread, but the number of mutations warrants attention. WHO will update countries and the public as we learn more. — World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) August 17, 2023-The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to Global News the “distinct” variant has been detected in the country. Epidemiologists have reported the initial case was confirmed by a lab in Michigan.“Based on the available evidence, we do not yet know what risks, if any, this may pose to the public’s health beyond what has been seen with other currently circulating lineages,” a spokesperson said in a statement.In the U.K., the Health Security Agency said Friday it had detected one case in an individual with no recent travel history, “which suggests a degree of community transmissibility within the U.K.”Denmark’s Statens Serum Institut said Friday that three cases of BA.2.86 have been detected in the country so far. The cases were reported in different parts of Denmark and did not appear to have had contact with each other, it said.Dr. Morten Rasmussen, a senior researcher at the institute, said the number of mutations detected in the variant was “unusual” for the virus.“The last time we saw such a big change was when Omicron appeared,” he was quoted as saying in a press statement.Israel’s health ministry has so far not publicized any information about the new variant, but the detection of at least one case in that country has been confirmed by the WHO, the U.S. CDC, Statens Serum Institut and the U.K. health ministry.Early analysis indicates that the new variant “will have equal or greater escape than XBB.1.5 from antibodies elicited by pre-Omicron and first-generation Omicron variants,” Jesse Bloom, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center said in a slide deck published on Thursday.Bloom’s slides note that the most likely scenario is that BA.2.86 is less transmissible than current dominant variants, so never spreads widely, but more sequencing data is needed.Canada is already monitoring the spread of another new notable COVID-19 variant, dubbed EG.5, Health Canada confirmed earlier this month.— with files from Global’s Katherine Ward and Reuters

Most Canadians have hybrid COVID-19 immunity. Could it prevent a fall wave? Story by Saba Aziz-AUG 15,23

After more than three years of COVID-19, most people in Canada have developed immunity against the virus through a mix of infection and vaccination, data shows.By March 2023, more than 75 per cent of the population had immunity because of a COVID-19 infection, according to a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) Monday. Researchers at the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force looked at blood samples of thousands of Canadians of all ages collected between March 2020 and March 2023 and found that the Omicron variant led to a rapid rise in infection-induced antibodies last year.During the Omicron waves, the rates of infection-acquired immunity appeared to be highest among younger Canadians, the CMAJ research showed.“Data up to March 2023 indicate that most people in Canada had acquired antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 through natural infection and vaccination,” the authors said in the peer-reviewed study.The research sheds new light on the impact of the highly transmissible Omicron variant — which was first detected in Canada in December 2021 — which caused many Canadians to get infected for the first time with COVID-19.The study also said most people in the country had been vaccinated by the time the Omicron variant surged in Canada – and that coupled with an uptick in cases ushered in “an era of hybrid immunity” that potentially could protect against infection for months.

Early signs suggest fall COVID-19 wave starting in Canada — before updated boosters are available | CBC News Loaded-Positive tests, hospitalizations creeping up as drugmakers seek new vaccine approvals-Lauren Pelley · CBC News · Posted: Aug 18, 2023 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: August 18

There are early signals Canada is already entering a fall COVID-19 wave, while updated booster shots likely remain weeks away.Earlier this week, the Public Health Agency of Canada said fluctuations in virus activity across the country could be an "early sign" of increased infections. The percentage of COVID tests coming back positive, for example, had been gradually declining since the spring, but started going up again over the last month — most recently hitting nearly nine per cent. Hospitalizations increased in August as well, jumping roughly 11 per cent in a week, as the number of hospital beds occupied by COVID patients hit more than 1,700 by Aug. 15.Cross-Canada wastewater signals are also rising. By late July, at least seven of the 39 sites tracked by federal officials had reported an increase, and that number has nearly doubled since then to at least 13.Western University microbiologist Eric Arts said Ontario's wastewater in particular is showing an increase in virus samples, but with reduced reporting and limited testing across much of the country, the full picture is hazy. What is clear, Arts added, is that caseloads in the U.S. are already going up "dramatically," meaning Canada's wave may not be far behind."Everyone's hearing, myself included, anecdotal evidence of new infections of people that we know," he said.Waning immunity, new subvariant may play role-How big Canada's fall surge becomes will largely hinge on the country's level of population immunity, experts say, as well as the timing of fall booster shots that aren't yet approved in either Canada or the U.S. "We're having up-and-down wobbling of our COVID numbers as we balance out transmission with immunity," said researcher and epidemiologist Caroline Colijn, a Canada 150 Research Chair in Mathematics for Evolution, Infection and Public Health at Simon Fraser University.As CBC News recently reported, research shows a majority of the population has developed some level of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, thanks to high rates of vaccination and three-quarters of Canadians likely having detectable antibodies linked to prior infections. Hybrid immunity — developed through a combination of both prior vaccination and infection — is thought to be a particularly robust form of protection.But while many individuals' immune systems are now better trained to recognize this threat, reducing rates of serious illness and death over the course of the pandemic, the level of protection needed to avoid another infection in the first place can fade over time. "We haven't had a large COVID wave in the summer, and we haven't had a lot of vaccinations. So that protection against infection might have waned to some extent," said Colijn. "And that puts us in a position for potentially a larger wave."A contagious subvariant called EG.5 that's circulating widely right now could also help fuel a surge, though scientists are still assessing the risks posed by the Omicron offshoot. Early evidence suggests it's no more severe, yet it does appear better able to evade front-line immune defences, allowing it to infect — and re-infect — more people.There's no cause for panic, Colijn stressed. But among people that may not have an infection or booster shot in months, a fast-spreading subvariant can find plenty of new hosts."You don't need a lot more severity to cause a large problem if you have a lot more numbers," she warned.'Our system is fragile'The challenges stemming from another wave would hit Canada on multiple fronts, said infectious diseases specialist Dr. Donald Vinh, an associate professor in McGill University's department of medicine. For one thing, more COVID infections would increase pressure on the health-care system through higher demand on hospitals, coupled with higher rates of health-care workers being sick, Vinh said."That combination can become problematic. We know that our system is fragile," he said. "And we've dealt with this fragility from a surge in COVID cases in the community before … but there's only so many of those that the health-care system can take."New COVID-19 subvariant EG.5 confirmed in ManitobaIn terms of the direct impact on patients, Vinh said that while high levels of hybrid immunity should prevent many life-threatening illnesses, there is also the potential for lasting health impacts from first or repeat infections, including long COVID.Booster shots could shore up Canadians' immunity this fall, particularly as drug makers have adapted their vaccines to better match currently circulating strains, but Vinh cautioned the "cycles are not in sync."The U.S., which typically approves new vaccines faster than Canada, hasn't yet signed off on new formulations, and close watchers aren't expecting those approvals until the end of August, with distribution sometime after that."The timing is not great," Vinh said. "Because if we anticipate that the U.S. will have their rollout somewhere around the end of September, or maybe early October, realistically, in Canada, we're probably looking at maybe mid to late-October, or God forbid, even a little bit later."A series of new reports in the British Medical Journal say Canada was 'ill-prepared' and 'lacked co-ordination' in the COVID-19 pandemic. The report authors say it is time to investigate what happened and learn how to prepare for the next pandemic.Experts recommend boosters, basic precautions-Canada's national vaccine advisors have already recommended getting an updated dose once fresh vaccines do arrive, particularly if you're at a higher risk for severe illness, including seniors aged 65 and up, people living in long-term care homes, pregnant individuals, and anyone with underlying medical conditions. Those national guidelines also suggest waiting roughly six months after a previous vaccine dose or a known SARS-CoV-2 infection, as research suggests the shots are more effective when they're spaced out from an active infection or prior vaccination, as CBC News has previously reported.While the shots offer lasting protection against severe disease, Arts said there's a downside to waiting too long between doses: "We know the longer that we go out without a booster, the more likely we potentially, if exposed, will get infected."Upcoming shots could help blunt the end of a COVID wave, he added, "but it's not going to prevent this wave now."Vinh said Canadians can also bring back basic precautions in the months ahead, such as avoiding crowded indoor locations, wearing a mask, and staying away from others when sick, while businesses can consider boosting indoor ventilation as much as possible.Even at this point, however, Colijn stressed we're in a better place than the U.S. heading into the fall, given the higher levels of vaccine uptake in Canada over the last few years — so a spike in cases mirroring the surge south of the border isn't inevitable."Whether it turns into a big wave or not," she said, "we'll have to see."Senior Health & Medical Reporter-Lauren Pelley covers health and medical science for CBC News, including the global spread of infectious diseases, Canadian health policy, and pandemic preparedness.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Preparing to Bring Back FULL Covid Restrictions, Rollout to Begin Mid-September-Infowars.com-August 18th 2023, 5:30 pm

TSA & Border Patrol whistleblowers have alerted Infowars of a Biden administration plot to unleash a FULL Covid lockdown that will begin in September.We can stop this! Never let the establishment control the masses with fear again! Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm to Infowars that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September.The first source, a high-level TSA official confirmed and known to Infowars, reached out to Infowars and cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September.The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the policy will escalate: by mid-October, mask-wearing will be required by pilots, flight staff, passengers, and airport patrons.After hearing from the TSA manager, Infowars reached out to our trusted Border Patrol source who is also a manager. This source confirmed the same directives were being given to Border Patrol.They were told it was not a matter of “if” but “when” official Covid numbers will go back up and they expect by mid-October a return to forced-masking policies that the Biden administration previously only reluctantly ended after massive pressure.Both whistleblowers were told this rollout will be in tandem with the new Covid “variant” hysteria that the MSM has been reporting on this week.Alex Jones covered this exclusive development Friday on his broadcast:  https://www.infowars.com/posts/exclusive-biden-admin-preparing-to-bring-back-full-covid-restrictions-rollout-to-begin-mid-september/

Trump Was Right’: CNN’s Jake Tapper Admits Biden Lied About Hunter ‘Making Fortune In Ukraine, China, Moscow’ Three More Hunter Biden Attorneys Quit, Bringing Total To Five-by Zero Hedge-August 20th 2023, 11:43 am

Comes after Delaware judge dismissed two tax misdemeanors without prejudice at the request of DOJ prosecutors -- a move which will allow for the possibility of charging Biden in Washington DC or California.Three more of Hunter Biden’s attorneys have filed a motion to withdraw from his ongoing case, after a Delaware judge dismissed his two tax misdemeanors without prejudice at the request of DOJ prosecutors – a move which will allow for the possibility of charging Biden in Washington DC or the Central District of California.Mrian C. McManus Timothy H. McCarten and Matthew S.

DOJ Planned To Let Hunter Biden Off The Hook Until Whistleblowers Came Forward, NYT Reports-Infowars.com-August 20th 2023, 10:27 am

Fire service forbids Christian pilgrims from celebrating Feast of Transfiguration-Authorities say church site on Mount Tabor cannot safely contain thousands of tourists, leading to cancellation of event for a second straight year-By ToI Staff 19 August 2023, 5:57 pm 11

Firefighting services forbade Christians from gathering on Mount Tabor in honor of the Feast of the Transfiguration on Saturday, preventing thousands of tourists from celebrating the holiday.Authorities said that the fire-safety plan presented to them was inadequate and had apparently been copied from a different location without making the necessary adjustments. It comprised two fire extinguishers and an evacuation spot dozens of kilometers from the Greek Orthodox church on Mount Tabor. They also said the church itself had not been inspected for safety, that there was only one evacuation route and that the site lacked sufficient water sources and firebreaks.Wadia Abu Nasser, one of the leaders of the Christian community in Israel, told Ynet that thousands of tourists had arrived in Israel for the event, which did not take place last year either.“A few days ago, a meeting was held between the Orthodox Council in Nazareth and the authorities, and it was agreed that the event would take place,” Nasser told Ynet. “We expected that after the cancellation last year, the firefighters would present us with all the safety requirements during the year so that we could hold our religious ritual just as others do. Only at the last minute did they remember to inform us that it was again not approved.”“This is an outrageous and totally unnecessary scandal that severely hurts Israel in the eyes of the Christian world,” Eyal Betzer, head of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council, told Ynet.“I did everything I could for the sake of Israel because I was told that last year the event didn’t take place and caused a lot of backlash against the country. I wanted to save Israel from embarrassment.”Betzer said that last week the Interior Ministry approved a fire-safety plan that he had commissioned, but that firefighting services rejected the plan a day before the holiday.“They suddenly raised unreasonable and illogical demands that I had no way of fulfilling in such a short amount of time,” Betzer told Ynet.“This is an international scandal and a violation of freedom of worship. This matter will serve those around the world who seek to tarnish Israel’s name by portraying the country as trying to harm Christians,” Yossi Fatael, head of the Incoming Tour Operators Association, told Ynet.“There will surely be those who link this to the current government. Those who wish us ill will connect this to the denigration of Christians in Jerusalem,” Fatael added. “It is a severe systemic failure that such an order is issued on the day of pilgrimage to the mountain.”There has been a noticeable rise in attacks against Christians in the Old City of Jerusalem and throughout Israel in recent months.In 2019, a forest fire threatened the Roman Catholic Church of Transfiguration, which stands at the top of Mount Tabor.The Feast of the Transfiguration is a Christian celebration that commemorates the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, an event where Jesus is believed by worshipers to have revealed his divine glory to his disciples Peter, James and John.While the New Testament does not state where the Transfiguration took place, Mount Tabor in northern Israel has traditionally been considered to be the site of the event.

Algorithm for repelling future quantum data raids proposed by Google-Aug 18, 2023, 11:09 am EDT-| Jim Nash

Google says there is “a clear path” to protecting public key cryptography against the moment when quantum computers are used for hacking.The company is promoting its implementation of the method and has posted it. (There are other ideas.) At stake are all the world’s collective databases of biometric and other identity data.Google bases its conclusion on the creation of the Dilithium algorithm and the standardization of other recent public-key quantum-resilient cryptography.Much of the cybersecurity community assumes that practical quantum computing, while unavailable now, will arrive before long and quickly tear through standard public-key cryptography like it was wet tissue paper.Ideally, internet-scale resistance to quantum attacks will arrive before the attacks arrive, says a post by Google.For that to happen, people will need new security keys after the FIDO Alliance standardizes post-quantum resilient cryptography and browser vendors adopt the standard.That is going to be a lengthy process, even for a movement that’s been around since the early 2000s.Google’s implementation combines strong nesting with classical and post-quantum cryptographical schemes. That is, a hybrid of the Ecdsa signature algorithm, which Google considers battle tested, and Dilithium.Company executives say they hope some iteration of their proposal will get baked into the FIDO2 key specification and, of course, win the acceptance of browser companies.They have invited the community to push their algorithm around in OpenSK, Google’s open-source implementation for keys written in Rust supporting FIDO U2F and FIDO2 standards.

Telos opens locations for biometric enrollment to TSA PreCheck-TSA reverses goal of extra identity checks for all Clear members-Aug 17, 2023, 7:14 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

Telos Corporation has opened 10 locations for people to enroll their biometrics and sign up for membership to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA’s) expedited security clearance service.The company is the second to launch TSA PreCheck enrollment services, according to the announcement. Telos has already enrolled individuals in trials at Annapolis, Md., Chantilly, Va., Ashburn, Va. and Las Vegas.Online membership renewals can be performed through Telos or Idemia, regardless of which performed the initial enrollment.“This expansion of enrollment providers will increase the network of locations where applicants may go to complete their TSA PreCheck membership,” says TSA Administrator David Pekoske.PreCheck membership allows travellers to keep their shoes and belts on and their electronics and liquids in their bags, and go through faster screening in dedicated lanes.The TSA is also reducing the number of Clear members it is planning to put through extra identity verification, reports The Washington Post.Sources told the Post about a letter sent to Clear by the TSA, which revises the agency’s goal from vetting the identity of all Clear members, something which it had not carried out, according to the Post. That policy change was implemented after security incidents involving Clear members were discovered.The TSA will still check the identity of more Clear members than it has in the past. How many is unclear, but Biometric Update has requested details from Clear and will update this story if they are provided.

Far-right activist rips up Quran during protest in the Netherlands-Dutch man desecrates holy book outside Turkish embassy in The Hague, infuriating counter-protesters, in the latest in a string of similar incidents in Europe-By AFP 19 August 2023, 6:05 am 5

A Dutch far-right activist trampled on and tore up a copy of the Quran at a demonstration outside the Turkish embassy in The Hague on Friday, infuriating dozens of counter-protesters.The Dutch government had already condemned the holding of the demonstration ahead of the event, but said it had no legal powers to prevent it.Edwin Wagensveld, who leads the Dutch branch of the far-right group Pegida, damaged a copy of the Quran, AFP correspondents witnessed. He was accompanied by two other people.Police had sealed off access to the street where the Turkish embassy is located and there were around fifty counter-protesters also present.Some of them began throwing stones at Wagensveld when he tore up pages from the Quran, the holy book of Islam.Around 20 police equipped with shields and batons intervened when some of the crowd tried to chase after him as he left.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged the military to “go on the offensive” and called for more settlement construction on Saturday after a terror attack killed two Israelis in the West Bank.Shay Silas Nigreker, 60, and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir, were shot to death in the West Bank town of Huwara, the site of a series of violent incidents between Israelis and Palestinians in recent months. A terrorist armed with a handgun shot the men to death at a carwash, then fled the scene.“The IDF must go on the offensive in Judea and Samaria and restore deterrence and security, while we work to intensify construction and the strengthening of settlements in the area,” Smotrich said in a statement, referring to the West Bank by its biblical name.“Terror will never achieve its goal of uprooting us from our land,” he said.Earlier this year, Smotrich sparked widespread outrage in Israel and abroad when he called to destroy Huwara after two Israeli brothers were killed in a terror attack in the town. After that shooting, extremist settlers rampaged through Huwara, destroying property, terrorizing residents, and leaving a Palestinian man dead in unclear circumstances.“The village of Huwara needs to be wiped out. I think the State of Israel should do it,” Smotrich said in March after the terror attack and the settler rampage. He later sought to walk back the remarks.Smotrich, who heads the far-right Religious Zionism party, also serves as a minister in the Defense Ministry in charge of the body that authorizes settlement construction and the demolition of Palestinian homes in much of the West Bank. That area of authority includes large parts of Huwara, in the northern West Bank, where some 7,000 Palestinians live.A Friday report said Smotrich is advancing a plan to legalize 155 wildcat outposts throughout the West Bank.An undated photo shows Shay Silas Nigreker, 60 (right) and his 28-year-old son Aviad Nir, who were killed in a terror attack in the West Bank town of Huwara, August 19, 2023. (Courtesy)-Expressions of condolences for the terror victims and vows to apprehend the perpetrator poured in from other politicians on Saturday night. The IDF has launched a manhunt for the shooter and closed off a number of roads in the area.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his condolences to the families of the victims “whose lives were cut short in such a cruel and criminal way over Shabbat.”“Security forces are working diligently in order to find the murderer and bring him to account,” Netanyahu said in a statement.President Isaac Herzog lamented “a sad Saturday that ended with great pain,” adding that “we mustn’t allow terror to win.”Opposition Leader Yair Lapid said, “The heart breaks.”“Another family joins the tragic circle of bereavement. I send condolences to the family and friends at this difficult hour,” Lapid said.Settlements Minister Orit Strock of Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party said the attack “demands lessons not just for whoever pulled the trigger, but for the entire terror-supporting environment.”The head of the opposition’s center-left Labor party, Merav Michaeli, slammed the government for the surge in terror attacks this year. Last year, while the coalition parties were in the opposition, they blamed the government for the violence, but now evade responsibility, Michaeli charged.“At every terror attack that occurred on the watch of the previous government, this government’s members came to the scene of the attack in order to dance on the blood of the victims,” Michaeli said in a statement. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, then an opposition lawmaker, often showed up at the scene of terror attacks at the time.“They came to the scene of the murder together with a cheerleading squad, sang and screamed with megaphones at the previous governments’ ministers. The year has not yet ended and there are already over 30 murdered under the current government, but they swallow their tongue,” Michaeli said. “Now, some of them stay silent, while some blame the opposition for terrorist attacks. The responsibility is never on them.”The US State Department said, “We unequivocally condemn today’s terrorist attack in the West Bank.”“The United States expresses its condolences to their families and calls for immediate steps to end the violence and incitement to violence,” the State Department said in a statement.The Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups praised the attack, calling it “heroic” and “a natural response to the crimes of the occupation.”Huwara has long been a flashpoint in the West Bank, thanks to a main thoroughfare running through the town also being used regularly by Israelis to travel to and from settlements.Violence has surged across the West Bank over the past year and a half, with a rise in Palestinian shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and troops, near-nightly arrest raids by the military, and an uptick in attacks by extremist Jewish settlers against Palestinians.Palestinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank have left 28 people dead and several others seriously wounded since the beginning of the year, including in Saturday’s shooting.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 173 West Bank Palestinians have also been killed during the same period — most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances, including by armed Israeli settlers.

US tanker unloading suspected embargoed Iranian oil despite Tehran’s warnings-IRGC has threatened to target shipping in Persian Gulf over cargo, as bipartisan group of US senators urge for proceeds from shipment to go to terror victims-By Jon Gambrell Today, 8:47 am 0-AUG 20,23

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An American-owned oil tanker long suspected of carrying sanctioned Iranian crude oil began offloading its cargo near Texas late Saturday, tracking data showed, even as Tehran has threatened to target shipping in the Persian Gulf over it.The fate of the cargo aboard the Suez Rajan has become mired in the wider tensions between the US and the Islamic Republic, even as Tehran and Washington work toward a trade of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets in South Korea for the release of five Iranian-Americans held in Tehran.Already, Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has warned that those involved in offloading the cargo “should expect to be struck back.” The US Navy has increased its presence steadily in recent weeks in the Mideast, deploying the troop-and-aircraft-carrying USS Bataan and considering putting armed personnel on commercial ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz to stop Iran from seizing additional ships.Ship-tracking data analyzed by The Associated Press showed the Marshall Islands-flagged Suez Rajan was undergoing a ship-to-ship transfer of its oil to another tanker, the Mr. Euphrates, near Galveston, Texas, some 70 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Houston. That likely will allow the cargo to be offloaded.US officials and the owners of the Suez Rajan, the Los Angeles-based private equity firm Oaktree Capital Management, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The saga over the Suez Rajan began in February 2022, when the group United Against Nuclear Iran said it suspected the tanker carried oil from Iran’s Khargh Island, its main oil distribution terminal in the Persian Gulf.For months, it sat in the South China Sea off the northeast coast of Singapore before suddenly sailing for the Gulf of Mexico without explanation. Analysts believe the vessel’s cargo likely had been seized by American officials, though there still were no public court documents early Sunday involving the Suez Rajan.In the meantime, Iran has seized two tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, including one with cargo for US oil major Chevron Corp. In July, the top commander of the Revolutionary Guard’s naval arm threatened further action against anyone offloading the Suez Rajan, with state media linking the recent seizures to the cargo’s fate.“We hereby declare that we would hold any oil company that sought to unload our crude from the vessel responsible and we also hold America responsible,” Rear Adm. Alireza Tangsiri said at the time. “The era of hit and run is over, and if they hit, they should expect to be struck back.”Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment over the offloading of the Suez Rajan. Western-backed naval organizations in the Persian Gulf in recent days also warned of an increased risk of ship seizures from Iran around the Strait of Hormuz.Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers saw it regain the ability to sell oil openly on the international market. But in 2018, then-US president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the accord and re-imposed American sanctions. That slammed the door on much of Iran’s lucrative crude oil trade, a major engine for its economy and its government. It also began a cat-and-mouse hunt for Iranian oil cargo — as well as a series of escalating attacks attributed to Iran since 2019.The delay in offloading the Suez Rajan’s cargo had become a political issue as well for the Biden administration as the ship had sat for months in the Gulf of Mexico, possibly due to companies being worried about the threat from Iran.A bipartisan group of senators is urging President Biden to facilitate the transfer of stolen Iranian oil that has been stuck on a tanker off the coast of Texas.The Greek tanker Suez Rajan was seized by the US… pic.twitter.com/zHScOeQZ2m— Dave DeCamp (@DecampDave) August 17, 2023-In a letter dated Wednesday, a group of Democratic and Republican US senators asked the White House for an update on what was happening with the ship’s cargo, estimated to be worth some $56 million. They said the money could go toward the US Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund, which compensates those affected by the Sept. 11 attacks, the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, and other militant assaults.“We owe it to these American families to enforce our sanctions,” the letter read.The US Treasury has said Iran’s oil smuggling revenue supports the Quds Force, the expeditionary unit of the Revolutionary Guard that operates across the Mideast.Claire Jungman, the chief of staff at United Against Nuclear Iran, praised the transfer finally happening.“By depriving the (Guard) of crucial resources, we strike a blow against terrorism that targets not only American citizens but also our global allies and partners,” Jungman told the AP.

Kenya signs digital ID support deal with UNDP, introduces a new Namba-Aug 14, 2023, 3:58 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between Kenya and the United Nation’s Development Programme to support the country’s digital identity program, which has a new name, reports Capital News.The Unique Personal Identifier (UPI) which has been presented by the Kenyan government elected last year as a replacement for the scuttled Huduma Namba will be known as “Maisha Namba.”“Maisha” in Swahili translates to “life” in English, while the “huduma” in Huduma Namba translates to “services.”Maisha Namba and an accompanying digital ID are now scheduled to be presented on October 2.An immigration department official told Kenyans.co.ke that “Maisha Namba will be a number that will replace the current birth entry number which is currently issued with birth certificates. Maisha Namba will be the reference number for future identity for all subsequent stages: school, national ID, KRA pin.”A “Maisha Card” will be issued under the new system, and a National Master Population Register established to consolidate government databases. This was a key takeaway identified by Principal Secretary of Immigration and Citizen Services Julius Bitok from a visit to NADRA in Pakistan.“The digital identity system will provide Kenyans with a secure and reliable way to verify their identity for a variety of purposes, including accessing gov’t services, opening bank accounts, and traveling,” says Bitok in a tweet. “It will also help to reduce fraud and corruption, and improve efficiency.”Bitok says the digital ID will enable Kenyans to carry out online transactions with service providers from around the world. The Maisha Namba will also be used by the National Health Insurance Fund and Kenya Revenue Authority, according to Pulselive Kenya.UNDP Resident Representative Anthony Ngororano praised Kenya’s government for engaging with non-governmental organizations, and said UNDP intends to ensure “a whole of society approach” to implementing the national digital ID.

Vietnam ramps up digital ID systems and regulations-Aug 18, 2023, 3:22 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

Vietnam’s e-contract platform is gaining popularity thanks to the widespread adoption of the country’s national ID cards, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).The Vietnam Electronic Contract Development Axis was launched in 2022 to enable online attestation, authentication and lookups for business contracts. The platform is run by CeCA (Certified e-Contract Authority), an electronic contract certification organization under MoIT’s Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy.The country’s chip-based ID cards have been successfully used for authentication on the portal while the Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to continue working with the Ministry of Public Security on connecting and sharing data, Vietnam Plus reports.Vietnam started issuing chip-based ID cards in 2021 as part of its efforts to improve access to public services. One example is in health care services.The government is also ramping up efforts to scale its digital ID system. The country’s draft Law on Citizen Identification aims to integrate more citizen data into the National Database on Population. This will allow citizens to access both public and private services by using ID cards and the National e-Identification Application (VNeID). The draft law is expected to be issued in October 2023 and will take effect on July 1, 2024.The development of e-ID is another important policy proposed in the draft law. In April, the director of the Department of Legal Affairs and Administrative and Judicial Reform, Pham Cong Nguyen, said that data from citizens’ ID cards are being used to create their digital identity and corresponding e-ID account and e-ID card. At present, the electronic identification and authentication system is designed to accommodate 180 million visits a day to the VNeID app.The Ministry of Public Security is working to ensure that the e-ID system is secure, Nguyen told Saigon News. Only assigned people are allowed to access the personal data of citizens within the limit of their duty. The assigned personnel will need to obtain the approval of data owners via fingerprint or face authentication. This means that even if a citizen’s ID card is stolen, criminals won’t be able to exploit the data stored on the card. Meanwhile, the victim can still use their e-ID card.In March, the country also started issuing chip-based biometric passports.

Rate of foreigners acquiring Ugandan national ID is alarming, govt official warns-Aug 14, 2023, 1:34 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

A spokesman for Uganda’s Internal Affairs Ministry, Simon Peter Mundeyi, says the rate at which foreign nationals bribe their way to obtain the country’s national ID card is worrisome.At a recent weekly security briefing, Mundeyi said authorities had identified up to 10,000 cards issued to foreigners which have to be destroyed, The Monitor reports.According to the spokesperson, foreigners mostly took advantage of the non-existence of a central database to defraud the ID-issuing authority, with some of the ineligible applicants disguising as Ugandans. He said there have also been reports of such foreigners using agents to bribe immigration officers.He said some of the foreigners who come from countries such as Burundi, China, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Sudan, seek to establish a Ugandan ID so as to obtain its passport.Mundeyi cited a recent case in which two Nigerians and a Congolese were caught with Ugandan IDs trying to acquire the passport.“The number of foreign nationals with Uganda national IDs has continued to increase and we are worried this could go up to the 2026 elections,” the official said, as quoted by The Monitor.The Internal Affairs Ministry and the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) have been working to identify, withdraw and destroy all cards obtained fraudulently by foreigners residing in Uganda.Mundeyi noted that in some instances in the past, foreigners obtaining Ugandan ID have used the credentials to commit crime such as drug trafficking.Another Ugandan interviewed by The Monitor expressed concern that some naturalized citizens of the country could be included in the cull, despite qualifying for the ID card.Uganda has plans to introduce a new biometric ID card system next year, but a report by the country’s Auditor General early this year suggested the plan may not materialize due to significant delays. NIRA said at the time that its plans remain and that enrollment for the new generation IDs was due to begin this month.

New Zealand privacy commissioner considers biometric regulation code-Aug 18, 2023, 2:03 pm EDT-| Beverly Crawford-Westre

New Zealand’s Privacy Commissioner, Michael Webster, is considering the development of a regulatory code for biometric technologies. This Code of Practice for Biometrics would guide how organizations utilize and store biometric information, such as facial recognition data and fingerprints, which have raised significant privacy concerns in recent years.In its investigation of the need for a code of practice to shield individuals from biometric information misuse while allowing government entities and businesses to use it safely, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) gathered feedback on its original position paper in 2022. Their public engagement report on the proposed biometric privacy regulation summarized the survey’s results.“The use of biometrics is growing and diversifying,” Webster said. “We want to ensure New Zealanders and New Zealand businesses can harness the benefits of this technology but also be protected from potential harm.”If the OPC decides biometric use in New Zealand requires increased regulation, Webster emphasizes the importance of extensive public involvement in the dialogue. “We will be actively encouraging the public to take part in the consultation period because the use of biometric information will affect us all. Advances in technology can offer great benefits, but it’s important the benefits are enabled for all and the public are safeguarded against risk.”The OPC is now inviting a second wave of public feedback on the proposed rules for this code of practice. According to their website, the feedback period ends Sunday, Aug. 27. The feedback will inform the Privacy Commissioner’s decision on whether to release a draft code for consultation. A decision should be announced later in the year.

India imposes new ID verification requirement for sellers of SIM cards-Aug 18, 2023, 1:17 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

India government officials announced Thursday that new dealers of SIM cards are now subject to biometric ID verification.This is the latest campaign to curb rampant fraud in India that involves SIM cards. Officials want to identify everyone who has more than nine accounts, the maximum in India.India’s central government has been struggling to reign in distribution of SIM cards obtained through forged Aadhaar and other ID documents as well as biometrics scams. Fraudulent SIM cards are often used in fake call centers, illegal betting and sex racketeering.“It will be mandatory for new dealers of mobile SIM cards to undergo a police verification and biometric verification. Registration will also be compulsory for all point-of-sale dealers now,” says telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.Vaishnaw says that SIM dealers have been complicit when attackers bought mobile numbers in bulk and used the accounts to defraud people. In the future, those SIM dealers will be fined 1 million rupees (US$12,000), The Hindu reports.As part of the campaign, businesses will no longer be able to buy SIM cards in bulk. Instead, corporate subscribers will need to go through a KYC check. Verification exemptions that have been granted to general government, defense and police bulk buyers will continue.“Besides KYC of businesses, KYC of the person acquiring the SIM card will also be done,” Vaishnaw says.At the same time, the telecom ministry has updated KYC protocols for SIM replacements, adding face biometrics authentication as an option, in addition to thumbprint and iris biometrics.Details on procedures and penalties have yet to be published, The Hindu reports.Vaishnaw told financial publication BQ Prime that 20 percent of sim cards sold have been misused.In fact, the government has reported deactivating 5.2 million connections that were obtained by showing fraudulent IDs.Facial recognition authentication has been growing as a tool for fending off SIM fraud despite privacy concerns.And the telecom ministry this year outlined plans to use a tool called ASTR (AI and facial recognition-powered solution for telecom SIM subscriber verification) to analyze the entire Indian telecom subscriber database, amounting to 1.17 billion accounts. ASTR relies on photos obtained from telecom users’ KYC identity documents.

Philadelphia Phillies lead off facial recognition access pilot for big league baseball-Aug 18, 2023, 12:52 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

The Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB) are launching ticketless stadium entry with facial recognition.Fans can register to use the service at dedicated lanes by submitting a selfie through the MLB Ballpark app. The images are converted into biometric templates and then deleted. Fans do not need to scan a ticket or their phone when entering. Security screening is carried out separately but simultaneously, reports KYW Newsradio.Groups can use the dedicated lane, as long as the person holding all the tickets is enrolled in the service. Only fans 18 years of age or older can enroll their face biometrics. The app also provides an option for users to “un-enroll.”“Go-Ahead Entry” is a pilot program initiated by the MLB, and launching at Citizens Bank Ballpark on Monday, August 21.MLB plans to expand the system to other ballparks next season.Facial recognition is used for entry to New York Mets games with a service provided by Wicket, while Clear is used for biometric entry to baseball games in Cleveland and elsewhere.

Tech5 contactless mobile fingerprint biometrics capture system patented-Aug 18, 2023, 12:40 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

Tech5 has been granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for contactless fingerprint capture and biometric liveness detection on a standard mobile device.The patent for “Contactless fingerprint capture using artificial intelligence and image processing on integrated camera systems” (11721120) describes a series of machine learning algorithms based on neural networks, which detect the fingers, which side of the hand is being held up to the camera, and generate fixed-length fingerprint templates for biometric matching. A 3D depth map of the fingerprints is created, which delivers a resolution of 500 dpi and eliminates distortions in the image caused by the curvature of the fingers.The system can be used for contactless-to-contactless fingerprint matching or contact-to-contactless matching, the patent document states. Tech5 also says the algorithms meet interoperability standards, and can be used for both enrollment and authentication.The patent protects the technology used in the T5-AirSnap Finger software, according to the announcement.“Our expert R&D team is committed to advancing contactless fingerprint capture and liveness detection, integral to critical applications such as national enrollments, law enforcement, eKYC, and decentralized digital ID,” comments Tech5 Co-founder, Chairman and CTO Rahul Parthe. “We take pride in leading the way in this exciting new field of research.”Tech5 took both first and second place in the LivDet 2023 competition for contactless fingerprint software in June.Parthe and other executives with Tech5 broke down the company’s vision, and how contactless biometrics capture fits into it, in an interview with Biometric Update earlier this year.

German kids passports all go biometric next year-Aug 17, 2023, 7:11 pm EDT-| Jim Nash

Germany is doing away with children’s paper passports in favor of biometric documents with embedded electronic chips beginning next year.The children’s passports had to be renewed annually and cost a one-time fee of €13 (approximately US$14.13) with €6 annual renewals. The electronic passport will cost €37.50 ($40.77), but it is valid for up to six years for Germans up to 25 years old, according to Google’s machine translation of reporting by the news publication Focus Online.The children’s passports did not include the security chips or fingerprint biometrics required for acceptance in the U.S., Australia, and some African countries, and the photo could be updated, unlike a biometric passport.Parents can request an ID card for children up to 11 years old. This car can be used for travel within the European Union, the Schengen area and Switzerland.

India ups investment in digital public infrastructure, plans DigiLocker extension-G20 Sherpa pitches international collaboration on DPI governance structure-Aug 17, 2023, 2:56 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

The Digital India program that includes the national digital identity, Aadhaar, as well as public sector systems for biometric authentication and online government services, is receiving a funding boost, The Economic Times reports.More than 149 billion Indian rupees (US$1.79 billion) has been earmarked over the next five years by the Cabinet of the country’s central government to upgrade and expand the program.The funding will support skills improvement for more than 600,000 information technology professionals, expand a government translation tool to cover more Indian languages, and support digital startups across the country.In addition to Aadhaar, DigiLocker, the Unified Payment Interface and e-Hastakshar e-signature service, Digital India also includes the single sign-on platform for digital government services, MeriPehchaan, launched last July.The funds will also be used to extend DigiLocker to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to enable the verification of documents it stores for credit applications and services, according to Manorama.Governance of digital public infrastructure-Amitabh Kant, former CEO of public policy thinktank NITI Aayog and current India G20 Sherpa, told CNBC-TV18 in an interview that the adoption of digital public infrastructure (DPI) has created a governance gap.India’s approach to bridging that gap, Kant says, is based on the use of open source technology and open API interoperability.Kant says an international architecture is needed to address the absence of a defined governance structure for DPI. He also suggests that the value of DPI is universally accepted among the G20.The next step is for those countries to come together with others in the global south, and international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to collaborate on the necessary governance structure.

EU wants data: How does police use of remote face biometrics affect civil rights? Aug 17, 2023, 12:33 pm EDT-| Jim Nash

European Union officials have put out for bid a research report about how member states are using remote facial recognition in police work and how the practice is affecting fundamental rights.The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights has budgeted up to €350,000 (US$381,000) for the contract and expects it to last 11.5 months. Bids must be submitted by September 29.Agency officials want to hear about six ongoing law enforcement use cases being tested or that have been deployed in at least four member states.The final list of six use cases will be made by the officials and could include remote biometric identification in public or privately owned spaces and crowd control.The biometric surveillance systems can be designed to prevent imminent threats including terrorism and other serious crimes or to locate crime victims.Qualitative fieldwork including interviews with law enforcement agency personnel, businessowners, national human rights leaders, civil society groups and government officials charged with protecting public data is expected to inform the report.Remote biometric identification was one of the main points of contention in the formulation of the EU’s AI Act.

What is MOSIP’s role in digital public infrastructure? Gates Foundation explains-Aug 18, 2023, 12:26 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the world’s largest charitable organizations, has published a primer on MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identification Platform), summarizing the project’s achievements and placing them in the context of a global push for digital public infrastructure.The Seattle-based foundation, which takes its direction from United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, has pledged US$10 million to support MOSIP, a technology developed for creating national digital ID systems. The project, based out of Bangalore, India, has found success among low and middle-income economies.The original inspiration for MOSIP was India’s national digital ID system, Aadhaar, which launched in 2009 and triggered a surge of interest in digital IDs across the world. But other countries could not simply copy systems like Aadhaar, they had to rely on solutions from commercial vendors, which raised costs for national governments and exposed them to “vendor lock-in.”MOSIP was launched in 2018 as an alternative digital public good allowing everyone to use the software.The Philippines was MOSIP’s first large-scale deployment. Since 2018, 11 countries, nine of them in Africa and two in Asia, have signed memoranda of understanding with MOSIP to pilot the system. More than 90 million people have been registered for MOSIP-based IDs in the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Morocco as part of national deployments.The system had to be adapted to each country. MOSIP developed a thriving ecosystem of more than 80 commercial vendors that could provide more choices to governments and keep prices low. The organization also provides free training and a marketplace where partners can showcase products to governments. MOSIP oversees an independent certification process for commercial partners and collaborates with global institutes like the Alan Turing Institute and Carnegie Mellon University to research privacy and security solutions.The MOSIP team hopes that the system will register 1 billion people over the next decade.The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation considers digital ID systems, including those created with the help of MOSIP, one of the pillars of digital public infrastructure (DPI) as it helps to accelerate economic growth.Individuals benefit because they can safely and cheaply conduct transactions. Businesses benefit because DPI stimulates the market and gives digital service providers an equal opportunity to compete. Entrepreneurs can use the infrastructure to innovate and launch new businesses. Through DPI, an estimated 16 to 19 million microbusinesses and small businesses globally could gain access to capital. Governments benefit because they can provide essential services to residents, the organization says.

UNICEF praises easier birth registration for Nigerians through digitization-Aug 18, 2023, 11:28 am EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

There are more parents in Nigeria now taking their children for birth registration as the country trials a digital birth registration system.Many women in Benue state, one of the states chosen for the pilot, say the digital birth registration process appears easier for them as opposed to the manual system which is time-consuming, according to a UNICEF blog article.The Nigerian Population Commission (NPC), in collaboration with UNICEF, recently launched a digital birth registration drive as part of efforts to narrow the existing child birth registration gap in the country.Over 12 million children shall be registered during the pilot which involves about 22 of the country’s 36 states, an NPC official said in May.On August 10, which was celebrated as the African Day of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS), some of the women, including one Rhoda Egbe, took their children to the NPC office in Makurdi, the Benue state capital, to register them.Mbakasen Imande, a registrar at office, says she has been impressed with the turnout since the digital birth registration began.“It gives me pleasure to see that the birth of our children is promptly registered. The turnout and uptake is high, mothers bring their children to get them registered and they also collect the certificates,” she is quoted as saying.Done via a digital app, the parents confirm that the birth registration process is less cumbersome and saves time. They also recognize the importance of registering their children after birth, with some of them saying they don’t want to repeat the mistakes made by their parents in the past.Nigeria’s federal government announced in May that it had undertaken a project to set up a country-wide digital birth registration system, with some of the funding expected from private sector partners.More CRVS funding needed in UgandaAcross the continent, a budget advocate for CRVS programs has urged the Ugandan government to make available more funding for the vital exercise.In an OpEd for the Monitor, on the occasion of the 2023 Africa CRVS Day observed on August 10, Moses Talibita lauds the government in Kampala for its efforts in improving CRVS, but notes that the country has to look into the problem of “insufficient funding” which “impedes a robust civil registration system hampering the very progress we hope for.”He says while Uganda make progress with its national ID program and its system of registration of births and deaths, it does so amid a huge funding deficit to the tune of about 16.9 billion Ugandan shillings (US$4.5 million) as well as other operational bottlenecks.Talibita urges authorities to use the 2023 Africa CRVS Day theme to engender “actionable change by investing in the very systems that uphold rights and identity.” The theme was “Empowering communities: uniting for stronger civil registration and vital statistics systems.”The writer also notes that such a big funding deficit also makes it difficult for the country to effectively produce other important ID credentials such as national ID cards and death certificates. He also recommends that the CRVS system be made more inclusive by bringing on board many more grassroots stakeholders.

Researchers reveal PVC pipe spoof threat to voice biometrics-Aug 18, 2023, 12:01 pm EDT-| Beverly Crawford-Westre

Digital security engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a weakness in automatic speaker identification systems that can be exploited using PVC pipes readily available at most hardware stores according to the UW-Madison news.The team, led by Ph.D. student Shimaa Ahmed and Kassem Fawaz, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, presented their findings last week at the USENIX Security Symposium in Anaheim, California. “The systems are advertised now as secure as a fingerprint, but that’s not very accurate,” says Ahmed. “All of those are susceptible to attacks on speaker identification. The attack we developed is very cheap; just get a tube from the hardware store and change your voice.”The risks posed to voice biometrics by analog security holes could be far-reaching. Ahmed points out that many commercial companies already sell the technology, with financial institutions among their early customers. The technology is also used for AI-supported personal assistants like Apple’s Siri.Ahmed led a team that conducted an experiment to assess whether altering the resonance of a voice could deceive a voice biometrics system. Ph.D. student Yash Wani was asked to help modify PVC pipes at the UW Makerspace to assist them in their project. Adjusting the length and diameter of pipes purchased from a nearby hardware store, the team replicated the same resonance as the voice they sought to imitate.Eventually, the team created an algorithm that can determine the PVC pipe dimensions necessary to transform the resonance of nearly any voice to imitate another. In a test set of 91 voices, the researchers successfully deceived security systems with the PVC tube attack 60 percent of the time, while unaltered human impersonators only succeeded six percent of the time.The success of the spoof attack can be attributed to a couple of key factors. First, because the sound is analog, it easily circumvents the digital attack filters of the voice authentication system. Second, the tube doesn’t replicate the voice precisely; it solely mimics the resonance of the target voice. This level of mimicry is sufficient to confound the machine-learning algorithm, resulting in the misidentification of the attacking voice.According to Fawaz, the project aims to inform the security community that voice identification is less secure than commonly believed. He states, “Generally, all machine-learning applications that are analyzing speech signals make an assumption that the voice is coming from a speaker, through the air to a microphone. But you shouldn’t make assumptions that the voice is what you expect it to be. There are all sorts of potential transformations in the physical world to that speech signal. If that breaks the assumptions underlying the system, then the system will misbehave.”A new digital attack on voice authentication was also presented by a researcher last month.iProov CEO Andrew Bud argues in a recent interview with Biometric Update that inclusive voice biometrics over a telephone have an inherent upper limit to their security against spoofs.

France orders biometric tablets, kiosks in prep for EU Entry/Exit System-Aug 15, 2023, 1:24 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

French authorities have placed an order for 544 kiosks and 250 tablets to collect face and fingerprint biometrics from ferry car passengers amid concerns that queues could form for UK passengers traveling to France when the Entry/Exit System (EES) within the European Union goes operational.The Telegraph alludes to a recent report by France’s “Cours des Comptes,” a government audit institution, which indicates that the system could add up the time required for border checks to be completed as passengers will have to be scanned in front of digital kiosks to authenticate their travel credentials.Once the EES goes live, the face and fingerprint biometrics of any traveler entering the Schengen area for the first time will have to be collected and stored in a centralized database. Such data will be valid for a duration of three years, EU officials say.The outlet notes that the fears of queues are fueled by the fact that check time for passengers at France’s borders increased with Eurostar biometric gates after Brexit.Travel industry stakeholders are calling for the EES to be seamless.The EES, for a reminder, is an initiative hatched by the EU in 2013 to strengthen border controls among member countries using biometrics technology. Initially previewed to have gone operational in 2022, it has been pushed back for various reasons.It is now expected that the project could get underway by the end of this year, although they are still hesitations that things may finally get going only after the summer Olympics due to take place in Paris next year.These EES arrangements come as the EU is already facing accusations of migrants’ right violations with the implementation of its digital border policies dubbed “techno-borders.”

Biometrics broad use shows importance of defending against deepfakes-Aug 19, 2023, 10:38 am EDT-| Chris Burt

A wide range of biometrics applications are featured in the week’s top stories on Biometric Update, with the common theme of huge scale. Kenya’s new national ID system now has a name, hundreds of biometric devices have been ordered to secure a European country’s borders, and a vape-maker is implementing selfie biometrics to resume selling to millions of consumers. Clear and Idemia are on opposite sides in a dispute over airport ID verification, and iProov’s CEO says the fraud threat from generative AI is beyond the common current understanding.Kenya’s new unique personal identifier will be known as Maisha Namba, and will be accompanied by a separate digital ID. These and other details were revealed during the announcement of an MoU between the government and the United Nations Development Programme to support the overall program. A public unveiling is slated for the beginning of October.Across the border in Uganda, foreigners have been obtaining national ID cards in troubling numbers; as many as 10,000, according to an Internal Affairs Ministry spokesman. The lack of a central database and bribery are cited as causes, and the official expressed concern over potential impact in the 2026 elections.France has ordered hundreds of biometric kiosks and tablets for deployment at its borders ahead of the implementation of the new EU EES protocols. While automated systems are often presented as time-saving improvements, many in France are worried the new system will take longer, after problems with Eurostar gates.A newly published Apple patent application describes the use of emotion analysis to create expressive avatars. The estimation would rely on video data, but also a range of demographic and health data. The company has also had a patent granted for a hardware module that would bring Face ID to MacBooks.The Philippines has missed its target for issuance of national ID cards – by 56 million. The country has issued 36 million of the biometric cards so far, and the PSA head blames changes to the information contained in the cards’ QR code for delaying the rollout.Japan’s troubled digital ID program drew an apology from the Prime Minister, but the government plans to continue integrating the My Number system with healthcare and other public services. Data entry has been identified as a weakness in the system, and ministers have been instructed to search out the errors it contains. The country’s Digital Minister has offered to refund three months of his salary, and acknowledged the responsible agency was slow to address the registration errors, The Japan Times reports.Juul has turned to an age verification app in an attempt to get a ban by U.S. regulators lifted. The app will use selfie biometrics and a government ID scan to prevent underage vaping. Juul uses Jumio and Veratad for age verification to prevent underage online buyers.Idemia has reportedly been prodding American lawmakers to require more ID checks for Clear members. The two companies are effectively becoming competitors for TSA PreCheck enrollment. Six more airports in India and dozens of gates at Miami International are also getting biometrics.India’s central bank is setting up a platform to enable financial service providers to find the data they need to carry out automated rule-based lending more easily. The system, which will be piloted soon, is reminiscent of open banking, with Aadhaar providing the KYC and e-signature functions.iProov CEO Andrew Bud urges biometrics industry participants to take an adaptive, process-oriented approach to defending against the threat of spoofs made with generative AI in an interview with Biometric Update. He also asserts that the GSM half rate codec of 12.5 kbps is not enough data to protest against sophisticated fraud attacks.Liveness detection is proving highly effective at detecting deepfakes, by for instance identifying anomalies that reflect anatomic impossibilities, Pindrop CEO and Co-founder Vijay Balasubramaniyan writes in a Biometric Update guest post. The 8,000 pieces of data each second provided by any audio channel are plenty, he argues.Please let us know about any opinion pieces, podcasts or other content you think we should share with the people who work in biometrics and the broader digital identity community through the comments below or social media.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
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 FLESH)

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
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.

Iranian realtor arrested for transferring ownership of apartment to dog-By AFP-AUG 20,23

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian police have arrested the head of a real estate agency after a viral video showed his firm selling an apartment to a dog, officials say.In the video, which spread widely over the weekend, an Iranian couple signs a contract transferring title of their apartment to their furry, white, small-breed dog.The animal, named “Chester,” placed its paws on an ink pad with the help of a woman before the contract was stamped.She said in the video that the couple had no “heirs and that they wanted to sell the apartment to the dog.”There is no law banning dog ownership in Iran but, as in many Muslim countries, they are considered unclean. Conservative clerics have advised against keeping them as pets.ISNA news agency today reports that the “police launched an investigation” following the video.“The police arrested the head of the real estate agency and shuttered the firm on Saturday,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website says, quoting deputy prosecutor general Reza Tabar.Tabar says the sale seeks to “normalize the violation of the society’s moral values,” and has “no legal basis.”Mizan does not identify the arrested realtor.Many Iranians, especially among the upper and middle classes, have in recent years embraced the trend of pet ownership, usually dogs and cats.

Zelensky vows retaliation for Russian missile strike that killed 7-By AP-AUG 20,23

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today vows stern retaliation for a Russian missile strike in the center of the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv that killed seven people and wounded almost 150 others the day before.“I am sure our soldiers will respond to Russia for this terrorist attack. Respond tangibly,” Zelensky says in a video address published at the end of a visit to Sweden, his first foreign trip since attending a NATO summit in Lithuania last month.He identifies a 6-year-old girl named Sofia as among the dead in the attack and confirms that the wounded include 15 children.The governor of the Chernihiv region, Vyacheslav Chaus, says the total number of people confirmed to have been wounded has risen to 148.Further east, Russian forces shelled the city of Kupiansk this morning, seriously wounding a man, according to Kharkiv regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov.Zelensky arrived in the Netherlands today, two days after the country said the United States had given its approval for Dutch and Danish authorities to deliver F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine’s air force.Zelensky is meeting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at a military air base in the southern city of Eindhoven.In Russia today, five people were wounded when a Ukrainian drone hit a train station in the city of Kursk, regional Gov. Roman Starovoit says. Kursk is the capital of the western region of the same name, which borders Ukraine.According to Starovoit, the drone crashed into the roof of the railway station building, with a fire subsequently breaking out on the roof.Russian air defenses jammed a drone flying towards Moscow earlier today causing it to crash. Russia’s Defense Ministry calls it “an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack.”Moscow’s Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports briefly suspended flights, but no victims or damage were reported.

Interior minister rejects claims Ukrainians mistreated-Ukraine threatens to shut border to Uman pilgrims, citing Israeli deportations-After Zelensky expresses concern over rights of his citizens in foreign countries, Kyiv’s ambassador clarifies comments directed at Jerusalem-By Michael Horovitz and Lazar Berman-AUG 20,23-Today, 12:21 pm 1

Ukraine over the weekend renewed threats to close its borders to Israeli pilgrims making their way to the city of Uman for Rosh Hashanah next month to retaliate for Israel deporting Ukrainian tourists.In a weekly address on Saturday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky urged that the “rights of Ukrainian citizens must be guaranteed,” after receiving a report on how nationals are treated in foreign countries, without explicitly naming Israel.On Sunday, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk made it clear in a statement that Zelensky’s message was directed at Israel.“The Ukrainian government will not tolerate the humiliation of its citizens upon entering Israel. We will suspend our bilateral visa waiver deals, according to article seven of the intergovernmental agreement,” Korniychuk stated.“This possibility is on our government’s table,” he added. “It is unthinkable that we would have to go out of our way to host tens of thousands of Israelis in Uman, with a high security risk and a huge logistical effort, while the Israeli government abuses our citizens who come to Israel within the framework of a treaty between the two countries.”“If Israel wants its citizens to be able to come to Ukraine as tourists, including to Uman, I believe Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu should intervene personally to find a solution to the current matter,” he said.In response, Interior and Health Minister Moshe Arbel rejected claims of mistreatment of Ukrainian tourists.“Israel’s immigration policy welcomes tourists from many countries in the world, including from Ukraine,” he said in a statement. “In instances where there is a suspicion they are using their tourist visa unlawfully to work or settle down, the Population, Immigration and Border Authority operates according to its legal authority.He added that Israel had sent medicines to Ukraine, and said that his ministry would continue cooperating with Kyiv in health-related matters.As part of a bilateral deal, Ukrainians can enter Israel and visit for up to three months. Due to the ongoing war in the country, Israel has extended the three-month visas of non-Jewish refugees after a cap limiting their entry was struck down by the High Court of Justice. Those with Jewish roots have automatic rights to become citizens under Israel’s Law of Return.According to data from the Ukrainian embassy, in the first half of 2023, Israel deported 2,037 Ukrainian citizens, compared to 2,705 for all of 2022, the Ynet news site reported.Korniychuk told The Times of Israel earlier this month that around 10 percent of Ukrainian tourists entering the country were being deported.Israeli officials said at the time they did not believe that Ukraine would close its borders to Israelis.Uman, 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of the capital, Kyiv, typically attracts thousands of pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.Despite travel warnings last year, over 20,000 Israelis traveled to celebrate Rosh Hashanah at the Uman burial site of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, a revered Hasidic master who died in 1810.Those travel warnings are still in effect but are unlikely to deter worshipers.In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyiv closed its borders in September to avoid an outbreak ahead of Rosh Hashanah. Thousands of would-be pilgrims traveled to neighboring Belarus in an attempt to cross the border to Ukraine, but were blocked by local authorities.Earlier this month, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Jewish Tradition Minister Meir Porush were in Moldova to discuss the country’s readiness to handle the thousands of Jewish pilgrims expected to fly to Chisinau on the way to Uman. Ukraine’s airspace has been closed since the outbreak of war in February 2022, and Moldova is the closest neighboring country to Uman.“The anticipated arrival of tens of thousands of worshipers in Uman is a great challenge,” said Cohen. “In my conversations with the president and foreign minister, I thanked them for their readiness to find the safest and most effective mechanism for those Israelis who choose to travel through Moldova this year on the way to Uman.”

11 laborers killed in Pakistan bus bombing near Afghan border-Workmen were building army post, local government official says; attack comes as Pakistani Taliban wages campaign against security officials-By AFP Today, 10:14 am 0-AUG 20,23

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Eleven laborers were killed in a bomb blast in northwestern Pakistan near the border with Afghanistan, a local government official said Sunday.The device exploded after being attached to the vehicle they were traveling in on Saturday evening, Rehman Gul Khattak, a senior government official for North Waziristan, said in a statement.“The laborers were working at an under-construction post for the Pakistan army,” Khattack said.Amir Muhammad Khan, a senior police official in the area, confirmed the bomb blast and the number of casualties to AFP.“Heartbreaking to know about the terrorist attack in North Waziristan which claimed the lives of 11 innocent laborers. Strongly condemn this senseless act of violence and stand in solidarity with the families affected,” caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.Pakistan has seen a sharp rise in militant attacks since the Afghan Taliban surged back to power in neighboring Afghanistan in 2021.The militant assaults have been focused in regions abutting Afghanistan, and Islamabad alleges some are being planned on Afghan soil — a charge Kabul denies.Pakistan’s home-grown Taliban group, Tehreek–e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), has waged a growing campaign against security officials, including police officers.In January, a suicide bomber linked to Pakistan’s Taliban blew himself up in a mosque inside a police compound in the northwestern city of Peshawar, killing more than 80 officers.Last month, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed at least 54 people, including 23 children, at a political party gathering ahead of elections due later this year.Around 400 members of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F (JUI-F) party — a key government coalition partner led by a firebrand cleric — had gathered for a convention when a bomber detonated a vest packed with explosives and ball bearings near the front stage.Pakistan was once plagued by almost daily bombings, but a major military clearance operation in the former tribal areas starting in 2014 largely restored order.The seven remote districts that border Afghanistan, of which North Waziristan is one, were later brought under the control of Pakistani authorities after the passage of legislation in 2018.Analysts say militants in the former tribal areas have become emboldened since the return of the Afghan Taliban.

Iron Dome downs drone flying from Gaza toward Israel — IDF-Military says aircraft didn’t enter Israeli airspace, posed no threat to civilians-By Emanuel Fabian Today, 9:42 am 0-AUG 20,23

The Iron Dome air defense system shot down an unmanned aircraft flying from the Gaza Strip toward Israel on Sunday morning, the military said.According to the Israel Defense Forces, the drone was heading from the southern part of the Strip toward Israeli airspace, and the interceptor missiles were fired at the device while it was still over Gaza.The drone “did not pose a threat to civilians in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip,” the IDF said, adding that sirens were not activated in the towns close to the border “according to protocol.”“From the moment it took off, air force systems followed its trajectory,” the IDF said.Palestinian media reported a large explosion over the southern Gaza city of Rafah.It was unclear if the drone belonged to the Gaza-ruling Hamas or another terror group.Israel typically does not interfere when Hamas conducts drone test flights, only when they are being flown out of the Strip.The Iron Dome was first used operationally to intercept a Hamas drone in May 2021, during an 11-day conflict with Palestinian terror groups in the Strip, known in Israel as Operation Guardian of the Walls. During the conflict, the system also mistakenly shot down an Israeli drone.The IDF shot down drones over the Gaza Strip in March of this year, May 2022, and in November 2021.

Iranian president meets diplomat convicted of bomb plot, freed by Belgium in swap-Raisi says Western countries ‘violated diplomatic immunity’ by imprisoning envoy convicted of planning to blow up Iranian opposition event in France-By AFP Today, 2:58 am 0-AUG 20,23

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has met with diplomat Assadollah Assadi, recently freed by Belgium in a high-profile prisoner swap case in May, the presidency’s site said Saturday.“The claimants of human rights have shown once again that they do not adhere to any law,” Raisi said in reference to Western countries during the meeting, which took place on Friday.They “breached the international rules, regulations and principles by violating the diplomatic immunity of the Iranian diplomat in a clear and unprecedented manner,” he added.Assadi was sentenced in Belgium to 20 years in prison after he was convicted of playing a role in a plot to blow up an Iranian opposition event in 2018 outside Paris.He was liberated on May 26 in an Oman-mediated exchange that saw Iran releasing Belgian aid worker Olivier Vandecasteele, incarcerated in Tehran for almost 15 months.The exchange happened after months of heated debates in Belgium, especially in the country’s parliament.The 42-year-old Belgian was sentenced in January to 40 years in prison and 74 lashes for “espionage,” Tehran’s judiciary said at the time, after a trial his family and Belgian authorities dubbed “unfair.” Iran often imprisons foreigners on spurious charges and uses them for diplomatic leverage.Since May, Oman-mediated negotiations have facilitated the release of six European nationals from Iran while several others remain behind bars.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Russian rover collides with Moon after botched landing-Luna-25 craft — first Russian vehicle to attempt Moon landing since 1976 — was meant to touch down Monday in race with Indian project-By AP Today, AUG 20,23-2:03 pm 0

MOSCOW, Russia — Russia’s robot lander the Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after it had spun into uncontrolled orbit, the country’s space agency Roscosmos reported on Sunday.“The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon,” read a statement from the agency.Roscosmos said it lost contact with the spacecraft on Saturday after it ran into trouble while preparing for its pre-landing orbit after reporting an “abnormal situation ” that its specialists were analyzing. “During the operation, an abnormal situation occurred on board the automatic station, which did not allow the maneuver to be performed with the specified parameters,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram post.The spacecraft was scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon on Monday, racing to land on Earth’s satellite ahead of an Indian spacecraft.The lunar south pole is of particular interest to scientists, who believe the permanently shadowed polar craters may contain water. The frozen water in the rocks could be transformed by future explorers into air and rocket fuel.The launch earlier this month was Russia’s first since 1976 when it was part of the Soviet Union.

During unprecedented wildfires and the B.C. state of emergency, people throughout the province are being advised to stay safe from the effects of poor air quality after 41 air quality statements were put in effect in central and southern regions.

Alerts from Environment Canada warned that Okanagan Valley, the Sunshine Coast, Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley and other areas are currently experiencing smoky skies and elevated concentrations of fine particulate matter.Environment Canada says regions that are being impacted or are likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke will see the effects over the next 24-48 hours.In an information bulletin posted Sunday afternoon, the province said those with pre-existing health conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, heart disease or diabetes, people with respiratory infections, pregnant women, infants and children, and older adults, are at greater risk of health impacts from wildfire smoke.Anyone who requires rescue medication, especially for respiratory conditions such as asthma, should make sure they have supplies on hand. The province says if you have been evacuated, or do not have enough medication, you should visit your local pharmacy for an emergency supply.The best way to stay safe from the impacts of wildfire smoke is to reduce exposure:Prevent wildfire smoke from entering your home by sealing doors and windows and keep them closed as long as the temperature indoors is comfortable.Learn ways to create an area in your home designated as having cleaner air by using a portable HEPA air filter or a DIY air cleaner using resources on the BCCDC website.Spend time indoors, such as shopping malls, community centres and libraries.Take it easy. Refrain from over-exertion that causes heavy breathing and inhaling unnecessary smoke.Keep hydrated to help your body deal with inflammation caused by wildfire smoke.Consider wearing a respirator or other types of multi-layered face mask when you go outdoors.Know the forecast and use the smoky skies bulletins and air quality health index (AQHI) to evaluate local and regional air-quality conditions.Smoke can make it harder for your lungs to get oxygen to your blood. It can also irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs.Fine particulate matter in wildfire smoke matter carries the greatest risk to people’s health because it can be inhaled deep into the lungs and cause inflammation and irritation.If you are experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort, or severe cough, call 811 or contact a health-care provider. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.Visit The Weather Network's wildfire hub to keep up with the latest on the unprecedented wildfire season across Canada.Many folks across British Columbia are dealing with dangerous to downright hazardous air quality as unfavourable winds blow low-level wildfire smoke into populated areas.The smoke comes as a historic wildfire season shows no signs of slowing across the province. Raging fires throughout the Interior have forced thousands from their homes as crews rushed to battle the spreading flames. Officials have declared a provincewide state of emergency in response to the blazes.Smoky conditions won’t improve much on Sunday, but a small bit of relief may be on the way this week in part due—of all things—to the hurricane hitting the American Southwest on Sunday.Sunday-Areas: South Coast and Interior-Timing: Through Sunday-Air Quality: Air quality suffered greatly throughout southern B.C. on Saturday as the wildfire situation worsened across the province. Low-level smoke sent air quality readings soaring toward the top of the scale, with hazardous air quality expected in Kamloops and the Okanagan at least through Sunday night.A centre of high pressure sitting over the province will keep skies clear, robbing any short-term potential for beneficial rains across areas that need it the most.Temperatures: The only bright spot amid the grim conditions across B.C. is that temperatures have fallen to reasonable levels this weekend, a relief from the record heat we saw just a few days ago.Temperatures will remain seasonal across southern B.C. on Sunday, with daytime highs in the mid-20s to lower 30s throughout the region.Long-range: We’re looking south of the border for a minor opportunity for relief as a result of Hurricane Hilary’s remnants moving toward Western Canada.A significant heat dome parked over the central United States will guide Hilary’s remnant moisture north of the border, bringing an opportunity for clouds and scattered showers toward the middle of the week.Unfortunately, this won’t bring the widespread heavy rain needed to improve the drought situation. Even so, any moisture is helpful in the battle against ongoing fires and the spark of additional blazes.

Hawaii wildfires death toll rises to 114 as governor pledges to rebuild fire-ravaged Maui-Andrea Blanco-Sun, August 20, 2023 at 1:05 p.m. EDT·5 min read

The death toll from the Maui wildfires has reached 114 as survivors and city officials grapple with the devastating aftermath of the days-long blaze that turned the historical town into ashes.Families in the once vibrant cultural hub of Lahaina are mourning the loss of loved ones and searching for the many still missing amid fears that real estate developers are already seizing on the tragedy for land grabs.At least 114 people lost their lives in the deadliest wildfire in America in the last century, as first responders continue to search for 1,000 missing in the fire-ravaged landscape.Hawaii Governor Josh Green said he plans to give survivors time to mourn and make them a central part of the process of rebuilding Lahaina. An early estimate suggests that nearly 3,000 homes and buildings burned to the ground or were damaged, and losses are around $6bn.Mr Green reassured the community that the Lahaina land is “reserved for its people to as they return and rebuild.”David Gobel told CNN that he hopes to one day return with his family to Lahaina.Recounting his escape to CNN, Mr Gobel said he and his family left their car in the middle of an avenue as flames closed in on them.Fellow Lahaina residents also scrambled to figure out where the blaze was receding. The family then decided to head towards the ocean.“My 12-year-old ... he’s like, ‘I’ll take this bag and I’ll go swim with it in the water. You guys have to have the kids... So we jumped in the water,” Mr Gobel recalled.They eventually became tired of swimming and returned to the shore, covering their children with wet blankets to protect them from the smoke and embers.“Waves started to come in and we’re basically crashing into the rocks there. So we swam and tread water... Holding the kids... until we couldn’t. We were too tired. We were too tired to swim,” Mr Gobel said. “And my wife stuffed our youngest ... right up under her shirt. And we covered them all up with that wet sheet and just hunkered down.”

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Cabinet approves NIS 3.2 billion development plan for East Jerusalem-By ToI Staff Today, 2:31 pm 1-AUG 20,23

The government approves a five-year, nearly NIS 3.2 billion ($843 million) plan for the development of East Jerusalem, after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich froze the money in protest of funding for a college preparatory program for Arab students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The plan will allocate money for infrastructure development, housing, healthcare and education, among other areas.“This decision will change the face of Jerusalem,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a live statement after today’s cabinet meeting. “We are uniting Jerusalem.”The plan’s implementation was held up for two months by Smotrich, who sought to reallocate NIS 200 million from the academic program, citing an alleged presence of “radical Islamic cells.”Smotrich, head of the far-right Religious Zionism party, has also recently said he will not release another NIS 200 million aimed at development in Arab municipalities, claiming the cash will go to organized crime groups or be used to support terrorism. The funds — aimed at boosting the economy, upgrading infrastructure and fighting crime in Arab communities around the country — were approved by the previous government, which included the Islamist Ra’am party alongside left-wing, centrist and right-wing parties.Arab municipal leaders have called a general strike for tomorrow to protest the funding freeze, with local authorities announcing today that they will hold a two-hour warning strike in solidarity.
