## Byline
- **Graham Fraser**
- Technology Reporter
## Article
A woman from Dunfermline has spoken of her shock after an Apple voice-to-text service mistakenly inserted a reference to sex - and an apparent insult - into a message left by a garage.
Louise Littlejohn, 66, received a voicemail message on Wednesday from a Lookers Land Rover garage in Motherwell inviting her to an event.
An artificial intelligence (AI) powered service offered by Apple turned it into a text message which - to her surprise - asked if she had "able to have sex" before calling her a "piece of ****".
Mrs Littlejohn told BBC News: "Initially I was shocked - astonished - but then I thought that is so funny. The text was obviously quite inappropriate. The garage is trying to sell cars, and instead of that they are leaving insulting messages without even being aware of it. It is not their fault at all."
Apple and the garage both declined to comment.
An expert has told the BBC the AI system may have struggled in part because of the caller's Scottish accent, but far more likely factors were the background noise at the garage and the fact he was reading off a script.
## What went wrong?
On Apple's website, it details is limited to voicemails in English received on an iPhone with iOS 10 operating system or later, and the transcription "depends on the quality of the recording".
Peter Bell, a professor of speech technology at the University of Edinburgh, listened to the message left for Mrs Littlejohn.
He suggested it was at the "challenging end for speech-to-text engines to deal with".
He believes there are a number of factors which could have resulted in rogue transcription:
- The fact it is over the telephone and, therefore, harder to hear
- There is some background noise in the call
- The way the garage worker speaks is like he is reading a prepared script rather than speaking in a natural way
"All of those factors contribute to the system doing badly, " he added. "The bigger question is why it outputs that kind of content."
"If you are producing a speech-to-text system that is being used by the public, you would think you would have safeguards for that kind of thing."
## Did a Scottish accent make a difference?
*Burnistoun/BBC*
Could the Scottish accent have played a part in Apple's transcription troubles? This duo from Burnistoun certainly struggled with the voice-activated lift.
Many people in Scotland will remember a sketch from the BBC comedy show Burnistoun, when two Scottish men get trapped after the voice-activated lift can't understand their accents.
It has hundreds of millions of views online, and tapped into a feeling some Scots have about voice technology.
In 2016, Scots were asked to work with voice recognition technology in a bid to help mobile phones .
For Prof Bell, the Scottish accent may have had an impact here along with all other factors, but - with ideal audio conditions - problems that technology will have with the Scottish accent are "a thing of the past".
However, this not the first time that Apple's speech tools have recently hit the headlines for the wrong reasons.
A few weeks ago, the its speech-to-text tool after some social media users found that when they spoke the word "racist" into their iPhones it typed it out as "Trump".
Apple also of news headlines after it displayed false notifications on stories.

========================================================================================
Rep. Simon said that watching Green get shouted at was like watching something in a 'history class'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rep. Simon argues that the GOP during Trump's speech to Congress were eerily similar to politicians from the days of "Jim Crow" and segregation.
As Trump addressed a joint session of Congress at the Capitol on Tuesday, Green stood up and shouted in an effort to deny the president has a mandate. The congressman made a visual spectacle by waving his walking cane as he shouted, as Republicans drowned him out with chants of "USA! USA!"
While the sergeants-at-arms were eventually ordered to restore order by removing the long-serving congressman from the chamber, Green on his outburst.
"It is the best way to get that across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility," Green said of Trump. "He is a person who has consistently used incivility against civility."
Simon, who had both walked out of Trump’s address and on behalf of the Working Families Party, condemned the entire Republican Party at the event.
Rep. Lateefah Simon condemned Trump and the GOP, particularly those who called out Rep. Al Green for making a disturbance during Trump's speech.
"We’re going back to a 1950s America," she warned. "I want to be very clear about that. For those of us who have parents, who have aunts and uncles and communities that are still alive, who remembered what a Jim Crow America looks like tonight in the chamber, you could look easily to your right, and you could see basically a monolithic group of folks who look just like one another. And then you went to the left side, and you would see what America truly looks like, a beautiful tapestry of all of us who pray differently, who look differently, who come from four corners of the globe to make this country what it is. We know what we all deserve."
Simon then went on to condemn Green’s critics, arguing their "racist yelling" was like some segregation-era moment taught about in history classes.
"I got to say, as a new member of Congress, I was shocked at what seemed like a blatant disrespect for the House, and it wasn’t coming from Rep. Green. It was coming from the men behind him on the right side who were telling him and yelling, ‘Sit down!’ I mean, it felt like I was watching something in a history class of racist yelling at an elderly Black man challenging the President of the United States not to cut medical care for the sick," she said.

Eric Trump exclusively told Fox News Digital the lawsuit is 'just the beginning' of holding corporations accountable.
By
Published March 7, 2025 2:23pm EST
The Trump Organization is suing Capital One after the bank "unjustifiably" than 300 of the company’s bank accounts and accounts belonging to numerous Trump family members in 2021.
Eric Trump told Fox News Digital he will hold major corporations accountable for the "egregious nature of canceling based on political bias."
The Trump Organization against Capital One in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Friday. The plaintiffs in the case are Eric Trump, the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, DJT Holdings, DJT Holdings Managing Member and DTTM Operations.

On March 8, 2021, Capital One notified Trump and the plaintiffs that hundreds of bank accounts that they controlled, were beneficiaries of and actively used would be closed June 7, 2021. According to the lawsuit, Capital One did not provide Trump and the plaintiffs any "recourse, remedy, or alternative — its decision was final."
The accounts affiliated with the Trump Organization held millions of dollars belonging to them and their affiliated entities.
Trump told Fox News Digital Friday that 300 business accounts were terminated, as well as various accounts belonging to numerous Trump family members.
The Trump Organization, according to the lawsuit, has "deposited, transacted, and leveraged hundreds of millions of dollars with Capital One to grow and scale these businesses." The lawsuit states that "Capital One has profited from Plaintiffs’ substantial deposits, impeccable creditworthiness, and the prestige associated with having a business relationship with President Trump."
According to the lawsuit, Capital One did not provide Trump and the plaintiffs any advance notice and "unilaterally terminated" the accounts.

"Capital One is supposed to represent Americans fairly," Eric Trump told Fox News Digital. "Canceling golf courses, canceling residential buildings, retail outfits that impact the livelihoods of tens of thousands of employees is egregious and damaging and wrong in the United States of America — especially after having a flawless relationship for more than a decade."
*Eric Trump told Fox News Digital the American people are "tired of the weaponization in corporate America." (Win McNamee/Getty Images)*
Trump told Fox News Digital the American people are "tired of the weaponization in corporate America."
"I can’t tell you how hard it is to change more than 300 bank accounts — and for no reason whatsoever," Trump said. "These were hotels and golf courses, residential buildings and commercial buildings, retail outlets and skating rinks and parking garages. There was no political affiliation. These were not political entities.
America is sick and tired of political lawfare," Trump added. "As a person and as a company, I won’t stand for major corporations that seek to inflict incredible harm and damage on people who might have opposing views.
"I will hold them and others accountable. This is just the beginning."
Sources have indicated that Chase, Bank of America and TD Bank also debanked Trump at the time and could face similar legal action in the days and weeks to come.
A Capital One spokesperson told Fox News Digital that: "Capital One has not and does not close customer accounts for political reasons."

-_xxFCzYNMH | https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/mar/03/weather-tracker-polar-vortex-collapse-chill-north-america-eurasia | # Weather tracker: Polar vortex collapse could chill North America and Eurasia
## Introduction
- A sudden stratospheric warming event is expected to develop over the next two weeks, leading to a rapid collapse of the polar vortex.
- This will be the second and probably final disruption of the polar vortex this winter in the northern hemisphere, the first having taken place earlier last month, which was associated with a severe cold spell across much of the eastern half of the US.
## Summary
- The next stratospheric event looks stronger than the previous one, and will probably weaken the jet stream pattern. This may allow a release of cold air from the polar regions to move southwards into North America or Eurasia, in turn increasing the risk of significant snow for some regions.
- Yosemite in California is already being affected by some severe late winter weather with more than a foot of snow expected at higher elevations in the first few days of March, accompanied by wind gusts of 50mph.
- Pakistan’s Islamabad, Kashmir, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and upper Punjab are also facing strong winds, heavy rain and hill snow over the coming days. Travel disruption across these areas is expected and weather warnings have been issued.
- Slow-moving will edge closer to the coast of Queensland in Australia over the next few days. While the weather system is expected to remain over the Coral Sea, it could move close to the east coast, bringing strong to gale-force winds on its south-western side with huge surf across the southern Great Barrier Reef islands and adjacent coastline. Severe weather warnings are in place with the potential for damaging wind gusts, which could also affect coastal north-east New South Wales.
- Also in the southern hemisphere, Cyclone Garance has led to at least four deaths on the French island territory of in the Indian Ocean. Trees have been uprooted, streets inundated with flood water and cars washed away. Winds of up to 140mph (225km/h) were recorded in Piton Sainte-Rose on the east coast. About 160,000 people were left without power and 1,000 moved to temporary accommodation. A third of the island’s population have had no access to drinking water. In the west coast seaside resort of Saint Gilles, muddy water overflowed from a ravine and poured through the town centre, where excavators were needed to remove the mud.

**By: Nikki Hauser**
**Posted:** 10:19 PM, Mar 13, 2025
ERIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — More than a dozen people were trapped mid-air on a festival ride for hours Wednesday night at the annual Irish Day carnival in Erin, Tennessee.
Erin police chief Mark Moore said 19 people were stuck for nearly 4 hours when the popular Star Tower ride malfunctioned.
"This ride, I'm never riding that again. I'm too scared to ride it," said 10-year-old Carmen Fulton, who was on the attraction. "I used to love heights...I'm afraid of heights now."
Around midnight Wednesday, Montgomery County firefighters, who were called in to help Houston County, rescued riders one by one.
"The big deal was everybody stayed calm and everybody trusted the people in charge — and they did a really good job," remembered Carmen's grandfather, Lance Uffelman.
While everyone made it to the ground safely, a spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development says they're working on figuring out why this happened in the first place.
He shared that the ride was inspected two days before the malfunction.
Casey's Rides, which assembles the carnival rides, says the tower swing was a new ride that was just brought to the United States. A manufacturer was present Wednesday to make sure it was set up properly. They add that this is the first issue ever reported at the festival in Erin.
The carnival, which draws thousands to Erin's town square, is still open the rest of the weekend. The ride in question, however, is closed for now.
A state official says inspectors will do a follow-up inspection. If it's cleared, the company has the right to operate the ride again.
Casey's Rides' full statement is below:
_On March 12 at approximately 9 PM, our Star Tower ride experienced a malfunction. We are relieved to report that all patrons were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported._
_The ride was thoroughly inspected prior to operation per the manufacturer's specifications. The manufacturer is sending a technician to assess the Star Tower and determine the cause of the malfunction._
_Casey’s Rides has been safely operating amusement park rides at the Erin Irish Day carnival for many years, and this is the first issue ever reported. We sincerely thank the first responders for their swift response and appreciate the community’s patience and understanding._

## Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park
Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Left, everything is an 'existential crisis' and Trump is Hitler. Yawn

and the producers of his hit show "Hamilton" are throwing away their shot to light up the stage at the in protest over the Trump administration replacing the failed leadership at the far-left institution.
is just another example of the progressive elites in our nation insisting that we are living through some political emergency that must occupy our entire lives and impact every decision we make.
We saw this attitude of existential crisis from Democrats in Congress this week with their childish displays during President Donald Trump’s joint address, in which lefty lawmakers refused to stand or applaud for a childhood cancer survivor because … Trump.

Meanwhile, at , pro-terrorist protests are erupting again, taking over libraries, because the political emergencies of our time make the mere act of simple studying an unacceptable luxury.

But here’s the thing, and I hear it everywhere I go, from Texas to West Virginia, from California to Wisconsin: People want normalcy back. They want to be able to talk to their family and friends on the other political side, they want to enjoy a beer without engaging in the culture war.
By and large, the people standing in the way of a return to normalcy today are those on the Left, and Miranda’s harebrained scheme to close his own show is a perfect example.
Let’s imagine for a moment that Richard Grenell, Trump’s new president of the Kennedy Center, decided to cancel "Hamilton," in which the Founding Fathers are played by people of color, and replace it with the 1970s hit "1776," with an all-White cast.
Reflected in the Potomac River, the exterior of the John F. Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts building is lit up in multiple colors.
All bloody hell would break loose, and rightfully so. But that didn’t happen, and would never happen, because like most conservatives, Grenell has no interest in censorship.
Miranda and his ilk are laughably claiming they are protesting political bias in the leadership shakeup, as if the ideological makeup of the Kennedy Center hasn’t been somewhere to the left of Chairman Mao for decades.
Long story short, the Trump administration is not censoring Miranda, Miranda is censoring Miranda.
Now, it will be argued that Trump himself is not exactly courting national unity with his breakneck executive orders, mass firings of public employees and moves like the Kennedy Center shakeup itself, but there is a key distinction: Trump’s actions are political, not social.
The president has always played by mafia rules. If you are in the game, you are a fair target, but he doesn't attack regular folks. Trump rarely, if ever, demeans those who didn’t vote for him, perhaps in part because he doubts they even exist.
> It isn’t normal to refuse to perform a play, or refuse to politely listen to a speech, or refuse to allow fellow students to do their work. It's downright abnormal.
What Miranda is doing by canceling "Hamilton," what Democrats in Congress did with their ridiculous antics during Trump’s address and what the hoodlums backing Hamas at Columbia have in common is their compulsion to invade your social life if you don't share their world view. If you are a Trump supporter, they don’t even want to be in a room with you.
In my travels, I have met heartbroken parents whose kids won’t talk to them because of Trump, lifelong friends cast aside. In fact, almost everyone I ask has some such story. And you want to know something? _That_ is what isn’t normal.
It isn’t normal to refuse to perform a play, or refuse to politely listen to a speech, or refuse to allow fellow students to do their work. It's downright abnormal. Yet again and again, it is the choice that the American Left is making.
Perhaps progressives such as Miranda are rightfully scared that Americans will like the huge changes being wrought by the Trump administration, but can they give it six months to find out? After all, he did win the election.
The good news is that, unlike eight years ago when the widespread fear and disdain toward Trump was so flammable that stunts like canceling "Hamilton" in protest caught the fire of the public imagination, it can now barely light a candle.
The American people don’t want preening histrionics from our elites, they just want dinner and a show without their whole lives having to be about Donald Trump.
But sadly, Miranda and his show will not go on. Instead, he is boycotting the room where it happens, and that is a loss for everyone. A decade ago, "Hamilton" brought the country together. Today it divides us. Fortunately, the American people can see a better way forward, even if Lin Manuel Miranda cannot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Navarro claims aluminium makers in Australia are undermining the US. Are they really?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Donald Trump’s trade adviser has made several targeted critiques of Australia’s manufacturing industry in comments that may undermine Canberra’s bid to win an exemption from new US steel and aluminium tariffs.
In a shared by the White House, Peter Navarro wrote that Australia – and Canada – represent frontal assaults on our aluminium markets … – **Peter Navarro**
US aluminium production has been declining for decades, part of a larger pattern of decline in manufacturing across the country.
China is now the dominant manufacturer of metal, while Canada has emerged as the single biggest exporter of aluminium to the US by far. In January more than half of aluminium imports into the US came from Canada, according to data from the .
It’s a trend the Trump administration wants to turn around.
Australia has four aluminium smelters that produce the metal for the domestic and international markets. The British-Australian company Rio Tinto and the US-owned Alcoa are the major stakeholders.
Australian aluminium exports into the US accounted for less than 3% of the latter’s total, according to the January data. That’s in line with longer-term averages.
The description of Australia as representing a “frontal assault” on US markets, given its modest market share, has confounded government and industry alike.

### Is Australia a threat to US aluminium producers?
Australia and Canada represent frontal assaults on our aluminum markets … – **Peter Navarro**
US aluminium production has been declining for decades, part of a larger pattern of decline in manufacturing across the country.
China is now the dominant manufacturer of metal, while Canada has emerged as the single biggest exporter of aluminium to the US by far. In January more than half of aluminium imports into the US came from Canada, according to data from the International Trade Administration.
But Navarro’s comments are probably not directed at that deal. They are almost certainly concerned with the January announcement of the federal government’s $2bn initiative to provide incentives for aluminium smelters to switch to renewable power.
Navarro’s opinion piece even links to a ,to%20renewable%20power%20before%202036.) about the Albanese government initiative.
The policy is designed to help reduce the largest cost to the smelters – energy – in what is turning into a global race to decarbonise the production of aluminium, as well as steel.
Similar incentives are in place across Europe. The government said the policy was essential to keeping smelters open and operating into the future, providing targeted support for smelters transitioning to renewable energy before 2036.
But given that the incentives are only available from 2028-29, they cannot have allowed subsidised smelters to operate below cost, as claimed.
Guardian Australia could not find any examples of US authorities accusing Australian aluminium producers of dumping the metal, a tactic that would typically be used to get rid of excess production.
Navarro also claims Australia’s ties to China distort global aluminium trade.
As a major exporter of raw materials, Australia has developed a close trade relationship with China, especially when it comes to iron ore, used in steel-making. It also exports alumina, used to make aluminium, although China is not its primary destination.
There’s no evidence of these ties distorting aluminium trade.

The Swedish fintech firm Klarna disclosed on Friday that its revenue jumped 24% in 2024 as the “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) pioneer made public its filing for a much-anticipated US stock market listing.
The company, which reshaped online shopping through its short-term financing model, drew investor attention as its valuation soared from $5.5bn to $46.5bn in just two years, fueled by three funding rounds between mid-2020 and 2021.
Its revenue grew to $2.81bn in the year ended 31 December, compared with $2.28bn a year earlier. The BNPL market is projected to surpass $160bn by 2032, with retailers such as Walmart, Target and Amazon joining fintech firms such as Klarna, Affirm and Block to offer the service and attract younger, credit-averse shoppers.
Klarna reported a profit of $21m, or 1 cent a share, in 2024, compared with a loss of $244m, or 69 cents a share, a year ago.
Its CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, had considered a direct listing – a route that avoids selling new shares and the costs of a traditional IPO – in 2021. But the Sequoia Capital-backed company shelved the plan and instead raised funds at a sharply reduced $6.7bn valuation.
The latest move comes as stock market volatility, driven by renewed recession fears and uncertainty over Donald Trump’s tariffs, threatens to stall a recovery in the IPO market.
The company has partnered with major global brands, including cosmetics retailer Sephora, sporting goods giant Nike and rental booking platform Airbnb.
It expects to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol KLAR. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley are the lead underwriters.

YcbLj3mIR_L | https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/mar/11/toilet-training-and-cutlery-use-key-part-of-englands-school-readiness-skills-list | # Toilet training and cutlery use key part of England’s ‘school-readiness skills list’
Checkpoints backed by education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, follow complaints from teachers of children arriving in nappies
Toilet training and the ability to use cutlery are two key checkpoints in a new list of “school-readiness” skills developed by a coalition of early-years educators and endorsed by Bridget Phillipson, the education secretary.
The group said the guidance was the first of its type, intended to help parents to prepare children starting in reception classes in England from the age of four and came after complaints from teachers of children arriving at school in nappies, lacking basic skills and unable to play with others.
According to the skills checklist, children arriving in reception should be able to use cutlery; be able to take turns and share toys; recognise their own names; hang coats on pegs; put their own coats on; pay attention for short periods of time; draw, paint or colour in; be able to talk about their feelings; be active for at least three hours a day and brush their teeth twice a day.
Parents should also limit their children’s screen-time, according to the guidance on the website, Starting Reception, launched alongside the checklist.
A survey by the charity Kindred Squared published last year found that teachers and parents had different views on “school-readiness”. While nine out of 10 parents thought their child was ready for school, primary school teachers said that only one in three children had the necessary skills.
Felicity Gillespie, director of Kindred Squared, said: “Too many parents say they don’t know what sorts of skills their children should be developing prior to starting school or where to go for help.
“I’m delighted this partnership of leading education groups and charities is trying to close that information gap to ensure all children get an equal start from their very first day at school.
“We want to see official backing for this new definition and for it to become the definition adopted by every local authority, primary school and early education and childcare setting in the UK as well as parents and carers.”
Phillipson, in her endorsement, said the problem could not be tackled by the government alone.
> “Children arriving at school without the skills they need not only limits their opportunities but the opportunities of every child in that classroom,” Phillipson said.
>
> “This new resource will be a vital tool for parents as they navigate the myriad information out there to support their child’s early development and it’s brilliant to see Kindred Squared and the wider sector coming together on something so central to children’s life chances.”
>
> “We want to see official backing for this new definition and for it to become the definition adopted by every local authority, primary school and early education and childcare setting in the UK as well as parents and carers.”
The new guidance came as there were further concerns that children born during the Covid pandemic – “lockdown babies” – have widespread speech and language difficulties, with teachers concerned that parents are “in denial” about the problem.
A YouGov survey commissioned by GL Assessment found that teachers were seeing increasing numbers of children starting school with poor speaking skills. The survey found that 44% of primary school teachers said that up to one in five children struggled to communicate at the expected level for their age, while 37% said up to two in five did so.
Teachers largely blamed the deterioration on a decline in conversations at home and increased time watching screens. Three quarters of the 1,000 teachers surveyed said that parents “are often in denial” about speech and language issues their children may have.

8dApykRRvE3 | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/07/polish-abortion-centre-opens-strict-laws-warsaw | # ‘There’s no other solution’: Polish abortion centre opens in challenge to strict laws
Thhey poured on to streets across in their hundreds of thousands, carrying placards reading “The revolution has a uterus” and “My body, my choice”. In late 2023 they helped vote in a prime minister who promised a swift overhaul of the country’s draconian abortion laws.
Now, after more than a year of stalled promises, Polish abortion campaigners are taking matters into their own hands, setting up a pregnancy termination centre on one of the country’s corridors of power.
“We want this place to be in TripAdvisor, telling people you have to see this place in Warsaw,” said Natalia Broniarczyk, of the NGO Dream Team. “Because this is the first abortion centre in democratic Poland.”
The centre is due to open its doors on Saturday, offering a safe space for people to ask questions and consult on abortion options. Each interaction will be tailored to the needs of those who enter: some will walk out with information, others may receive pointers on how to obtain abortion pills or be given the option to remain in the centre and receive support while they take the pill.
Located a stone’s throw from parliament and the headquarters of the ruling Civic Coalition, the centre is a direct challenge to the country’s on abortion. “It’s symbolic. Wiejska Street is the most important street in Warsaw. The most important decisions are being taken there – now on abortions too,” Broniarczyk said.

It remains to be seen how officials will respond. While the possession or ingestion of abortion pills is not outlawed in Poland, provision of the medication or helping someone to obtain it is punishable by up to three years in prison.
“What we’re doing could be recognised as illegal,” said Justyna Wydrzyńska, of Abortion Dream Team, which has long provided Polish women with information and support, including pointers on how to acquire the abortion pill. “But this government is not responding to the needs of women. And this is a risk to health and life. So we have to react and there’s no other solution than to help people.”
In the run-up to the 2023 election, the now prime minister, Donald Tusk, vowed that his Civic Coalition abortion laws within 100 days of being elected.
More than 500 days later, the near total ban remains in place. In August, Tusk conceded that the election result meant there was “simply no majority” to change the laws to allow abortions until the 12th week of pregnancy. His party later said efforts to relax the laws would resume after presidential elections due in May.
However, Tusk added a line that hinted how things might be different under his government. “I can only promise that within the framework of the existing law we will do everything to make women suffer less, to make abortion as safe as possible and accessible when a woman has to make such a decision. So that people who get involved in helping a woman are not prosecuted,” he said.

Those at Abortion Dream Team seized on his words, announcing their plans for the centre and launching a crowdfunding campaign soon after.
Months later, their vision is set to become reality. Four staff members have been hired to consult anyone who walks through door, offering a free service that will be funded by donations and sales of merchandise at the centre.
“We want to show politicians that the difference between us and them is that we want to provide abortion and they don’t want to,” Broniarczyk said. “So we want to challenge them and show them that we’re not doing anything wrong. And we have only one ask: stop prosecuting us.”
The organisation has long wrestled with the nuances of the law. After years of evading the law by referring women who sought abortions to organisations based abroad, in 2022 Wydrzyńska the country’s first pro-choice activist to be charged with breaking the law, after she provided miscarriage-inducing tablets to a pregnant woman. Last month a judge a retrial in the case.

Broniarczyk and Wydrzyńska are confident that the centre will not be immediately shut down. Instead, Broniarczyk worries that authorities will quietly work behind the scenes to complicate their efforts, by hauling them in for regular police questioning or portraying them as “crazy, radical women” to downplay one of the country’s flashpoints.
She waved off concerns about protesters, pointing to the centre’s location. “This is the most protected street in Warsaw. We are surrounded by soldiers,” she said.
For Wydrzyńska, the biggest worry is that nobody will show up, potentially turned off by protesters or onlookers gathered outside the centre.
Otherwise they are ready for whatever else may come. “We’ve been doing this for 20 years, so we know what we’re doing,” Wydrzyńska said. “We know that we are this group who is pushing the limits, who is checking how society will react, what politicians will do. And we’re always happy to start the conversation.”

Yjx8VevX0tR | https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/mar/06/shabana-mahmood-sentencing-council-powers | # Mahmood to review Sentencing Council’s powers amid ‘two-tier’ justice row
Lord chancellor announces move follows claims that new sentencing rules discriminate against white men.
## Introduction
Shabana Mahmood has ordered a review of the powers of the independent body that draws up judges’ sentencing guidelines in England and Wales following claims that new rules discriminate against white men.
The lord chancellor wrote that she “will be reviewing the role and powers of the ” and will introduce new laws “if necessary” after the body recommended changes that would make the ethnicity or faith of an offender a greater factor when deciding whether to jail them.
The development, which will be seen as a threat to the independence of the arms-length body, comes in the wake of a growing political row. Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, has claimed .
In a letter to the chair of the council, Lord Justice Davis, Mahmood wrote: “I must make clear my displeasure at the direction that this guideline took in recommending differing approaches for those from ethnic minorities, cultural minorities and/or from a faith minority background.
“The guideline states that a pre-sentence report will normally be considered necessary for these cohorts. A pre-sentence report can be instrumental in assisting courts in the determination of their sentence. But the access to one should not be determined by an offender’s ethnicity, culture or religion.
“As someone who is from an ethnic minority background myself, I do not stand for differential treatment before the law like this.”
Mahmood asked Davis to reconsider the rules as soon as possible.
“I will also be considering whether policy decisions of such import should be made by the Sentencing Council and what role ministers and parliament should play.
“For that reason, I will be reviewing the role and powers of the Sentencing Council alongside the work of the Independent Sentencing Review.
“If necessary, I will legislate in the sentencing bill that will follow that review.”
The guidance, aimed at tackling bias and reducing reoffending, puts more emphasis on the need for pre-sentence reports, which give details of the offender’s background, motives, and personal life before sentencing.
Under the change, which would come into force on 1 April, magistrates and judges would be asked to consult a pre-sentence report before determining whether to imprison someone of an ethnic or religious minority, as well as young adults, abuse survivors, and pregnant women.
At present, black and minority ethnic communities are over-represented at almost all stages of the criminal justice process in and Wales, and are more likely to be imprisoned and receive longer sentences than white people.
The consultation process on the sentencing guidance concluded last February, when the Conservatives were still in government. An earlier version of the guidelines published last spring was criticised by the then justice secretary, Alex Chalk, as “patronising”.
Mahmood’s intervention will be seen as the latest move by Labour to appeal to right-leaning voters.

## What is it?
It has been dubbed a "four-day extravaganza" by the organisers and starts with two days of educational events for schools, followed by a weekend of science and arts-based activities, workshops and shows.
On the evenings of 14 and 15 March, a large-scale light and sound installation, called After Dark, will be staged in Queen Victoria Square, Whitefriargate, Beverley Gate and Trinity Square, between 18:30 and 21:30 GMT.
A theatre performance, called Out of the Deep Blue, will feature a 13ft-tall sea giant puppet, which "rises from the deep ocean and encounters a courageous little girl". It will be staged at various times on Saturday and Sunday.
Other events will include workshops, experiments involving exotic animals, state-of-the-art robotics, and activities looking at the environment and climate change.
The festival is being organised by Hull City Council, the Hull Maritime project, Hull Museums and Gallery, and the University of Hull.
## Which venues are taking part?
Events will take place across several so-called Discovery Zones. The majority of venues are in the city centre and include Hull Minster, Ferens Art Gallery, Hull Truck Theatre, the Wilberforce Institute and the Streetlife Museum.

KIqkyESR0Fq | https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/06/woolly-mammoth-us-scientists-unethical-government#comments | # Reviving the woolly mammoth isn’t just unethical. It’s impossible
You will never ever see a living woolly mammoth. While this is an obvious truth to most geneticists, zoologists and mammoth experts, the endless promises that you might get to of this very-much extinct elephantid apparently necessitate me typing it.
The latest on the conveyor belt of mammoth resurrection stories came this week in the form of a slightly hairy mouse. , the US company behind the , published a non-peer-reviewed paper in which it has genetically engineered a mouse to express a gene that relates to mammoth hair, resulting in a mouse with slightly longer hair than normal.
Mice are a crucial part of the story of genetics, not least because of their utility in the study of human genes, and particularly disease. But this unusually hirsute mouse was not created for any such noble purpose but rather as a farcical little sideshow for the fantasy that one day Colossal will breed a living mammoth.
“The woolly mammoth is a vital defender of the earth,” it claims on its website, despite the fact that mammoths are extinct and therefore – I feel this shouldn’t really need saying – have literally no role in defending the Earth. Colossal states that packs of mammoths were a crucial part of tundra ecosystem management in their heyday tens of thousands of years ago – that much is true – and that bringing them back might be a useful tool in the fight against global warming. It is a ridiculous suggestion for tackling the climate crisis – and more than that, it is scientific folly.
How is it folly? Let us count the ways. A few years ago, the first from remains acquired off eBay. You can get some today from as little as a tenner. The genome sequence allowed scientists to piece together some aspects of the lives and the biology of these magnificent beasts, as indeed we have for many animals – including humans – that are long dead. This is good science, gifting us insights into the adaptations that helped mammoths evolve to suit their environments. What the ancient genome of the sadly departed does not allow us to do is bring them back.
DNA from dead creatures is profoundly degraded, chewed up by time and bacteria, and what we actually recover is fragments. When the “complete” genome of our Neanderthal ancestors in 2009, it was in fact sparse bits and pieces of the interesting parts, the genes, which we could usefully compare with our living DNA. But genes make up a tiny proportion of the total amount of DNA in a living creature, most of which is lost in time, like tears in rain. Much of that lost DNA has function in living cells and is species specific. This is not cloning as per the , whose actual complete genome was taken from a living sheep. This is not photocopying – it’s trying to assemble a book with only a clutch of sentences.
Colossal knows this and is proposing to modify the genes of an Asian elephant so they are more like mammoth genes. The proposed resulting creature would be a mixture of elephant and mammoth. These two elephantids parted ways on their roughly 6m years ago. That was at about the same time we separated from what ended up as chimpanzees. That’s how different they are; that’s the equivalent hybrid being proposed.
Cast your moral distaste over that particular monster aside and just consider that we don’t know the gestation period for a mammoth. We don’t know how big a mammoth neonate would be. We don’t know if a mammoth could digest Asian elephant milk. We would be performing artificial insemination and experimental IVF on an elephant that I am guessing did not give informed consent for this procedure.
Should Colossal manage to overcome all of these apparently insurmountable scientific barriers, it will have an Asian elephant mother giving birth to a different species into a social group with which it has no affiliation in an environment it has not evolved to be part of because it ceased to exist many millennia ago.
And it will be utterly alone. The best possible outcome will be one single boutique animal that is profoundly confused. More likely it will die very quickly. At present the Pyrenean ibex is the only animal , via cells taken from the last known member of its wild goat species. Born to a surrogate in 2003, the kid immediately died, making it the only species to have gone extinct twice. The mammoth, should Colossal succeed, would surely be the second.
The absurd and frankly ghoulish claims about the mammoth’s resurrection amount to a textbook case of science miscommunication and hubris. At a time when US scientists are from their own government, the illiteracy around these elephantine fantasies is not just vexing but dangerous. The Trump administration’s threatened cuts span all scientific disciplines, but most pertinently to conservation and climate-crisis research. We are witnessing – and party to – the greatest biodiversity and species loss in human history. More than ever, science needs money, public support, and government backing. Perhaps focusing our efforts on preserving the millions of threatened creatures that actually exist should be the priority in these hostile times.
The only way you will ever see a living mammoth is if our physicist friends finally crack time travel. I am a mere geneticist, but my understanding is that this remains very much in the realm of fiction. Perhaps in the meantime we could direct our scientific excitement and energies towards real problems, things on which millions of lives depend, rather than on this mammoth circus of macabre fantasy and moral bankruptcy.

0WGSMS97iYS | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crmjewpkje9o | They lost 52 soldiers fighting alongside the US. Now they feel threatened by Trump
===================================================================================
7 days ago
Nick Beake
Europe correspondent
Reporting from Copenhagen

All his adult life, Colonel Soren Knudsen stepped forward when his country called. And when its allies did.
He fought alongside US troops, notably in Afghanistan, and for a time was Denmark's most senior officer there. He counted 58 rocket attacks during his duty.
"I was awarded a Bronze Star Medal by the United States and they gave me the Stars and Stripes. They have been hanging on my wall in our house ever since and I have proudly shown them to everybody."
Then something changed.
"After JD Vance's statement on Greenland, the president's disrespect for internationally acknowledged borders, I took the Stars and Stripes down and the medal has been put away," Soren says, his voice breaking a little.
This week before Congress, the US president doubled down on his desire to seize the world's biggest island: Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
"My first feeling was that it hurts, and the second is that I'm offended," Col Knudsen laments.
I meet him in the first weeks of his retirement outside Denmark's 18th Century royal residence, Amalienborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen.
Abruptly, pipers strike up and soldiers stream by.
Today's Changing of the Guard comes at a time when the Trump administration has not just tweaked but defenestrated most assumptions around US-European security that have held fast for 80 years.
"It's about values and when those values are axed by what we thought was an ally, it gets very tough to watch." Soren says with his American wife Gina at his side.
"Denmark freely and without question joined those efforts where my husband served,” she says.
"So it comes as a shock to hear threats from a country that I also love and to feel that alliance is being trampled on. This feels personal, not like some abstract foreign policy tactic."
Soren has not given up all hope though.
"It's my hope and my prayer that I will one day be able to put \ back on the wall," he confides.
There's no sign his prayers will be answered soon.
Greenland, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, goes to the polls next week with all the main parties backing independence at some point in the future.
A takeover by Donald Trump – potentially by force – is not on the ballot paper.
Not far from the royal palace stands Denmark's memorial to its soldiers lost in recent battle.
Carved on the stone-covered walls are the names of those killed alongside their Western allies.
The section honouring the fallen in the US-led invasion of Afghanistan is particularly sizeable.
Denmark lost 44 soldiers in Afghanistan, which as a proportion of its less than six million population, was more than any other ally apart from the US. In Iraq, eight Danish soldiers died.
This is why the president's words sting so much.

Former Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen doubts the US will try to take Greenland by force
One man very well placed to consider what Trump's ambitions for Greenland actually amount to is Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
"President Trump's declaration of intention to maybe take Greenland by force is very similar to President Putin's rhetoric when it comes to Ukraine," he tells the BBC.
The former prime minister of Denmark and ex-secretary general of the Nato alliance argues this is the moment Denmark and the rest of Europe must step up to better protect itself if the US is not willing to.
"Since my childhood, I have admired the United States and their role as the world's policeman. And I think we need a policeman to ensure international law and order but if the United States does not want to execute that role, then Europe must be able to defend itself, to stand on its own feet."
Fogh Rasmussen doesn't though believe the policeman is about to turn felon.
"I would like to stress I don't think at the end of the day that the Americans will take Greenland by force."
Students Luukas, Molly and Clara say it's "scary" how easily President Trump can affect their daily lives from thousands of miles away
President Trump first talked about a Greenland takeover in his first term of office before returning to the theme at the start of this year.
But now, after blindsiding supposed allies with his latest moves on Ukraine, tariffs, as well as the Middle East, Denmark is urgently trying to assess the true threat.
For many younger Danes, control of Greenland is plain wrong - an unfathomable colonial hangover.
It doesn't mean they want it handed straight over to the US instead.
"We do have connections to Greenland," says music student Molly. "Denmark and Greenland are quite separated I would say but I still have friends from there so this does affect me quite personally."
"I find it really scary," says 18-year-old music student Luukas.
"Everything he sees, he goes after. And the thing with the oil and money, he doesn't care about the climate, he doesn't care about anyone or anything."
His friend Clara chips in that Trump is now so powerful he can "affect their day-to-day life" from thousands of miles away, in what is an era of unprecedented jeopardy.
In light of President Trump's suspension of military aid for Ukraine and his deep reluctance to fund Europe's security, Denmark has been at the heart of the drive to boost defence spending across the continent.
The country has just announced it will allocate more than 3% of its GDP to defence spending in 2025 and 2026 to protect against future aggression from Russia or elsewhere.
Meanwhile, security analyst Hans Tino Hansen stands in front of a huge screen in what he calls his "ops room", at his Copenhagen headquarters.
"This map is where we update on a daily basis our threat picture based on alerts and incidents all over the world," says Hans, who has been running Risk Intelligence for the past 25 years.
As part of Denmark's increased defence spending, it's bolstering its strength in the "High North" with an extra two billion euros announced in January and three new Arctic naval vessels and investment in long-range drones.
Hans believes Arctic security can be tightened further, not by an American takeover - but with new deals that restore US influence.
"If you make more agreements, both on defence and security, but also economic ones and on raw materials, then we are more or less going back to where we were in the 50s and 60s."
Security analyst Hans Tino Hansen says it would be in Denmark's interests to do deals with the US on Greenland's defence and raw materials
But the story stretches further back than the mid-20th Century.
"If you look at this globe, Greenland is the most centrally located place on Earth," says world-renowned geologist Prof Minik Rosing, gesticulating in his wood-panelled office.
The serenity of his room reflects the temperament of a man who grew up in a settlement of just "seven or eight people" in the Nuuk fjord of the island.
But a key reason his homeland is now coming under increasing scrutiny from outsiders is the rich mineral deposits beneath the Arctic ice.
We've seen how Ukraine's natural resources have caught President Trump's eye in much the same way.
"All these minerals that they talk about like rare metals, rare earth elements - they are actually not rare. What is rare is the use of them," he reasons.
Prof Rosing says the vastness of Greenland and the lack of infrastructure are just two elements why the island may not be the cashpoint some Americans are hoping for.
"They are a minuscule part of the mining industry and the economy of extracting them is very uncertain, whereas the investment to start extracting is very high. The risk of the investment is too high relative to the potential gain."
Prof Minik Rosing says most Greenlanders have good jobs, and are not seeking to work in the mining industry
In terms of Trump's apparent obsession with taking Greenland, Fogh Rasmussen fears there may be a troubling conclusion to be drawn.
One that would render the Danes unable to do business with a man whose view on territorial integrity is so wildly incompatible from theirs.
"I understand very well the American strategic interest in the minerals, but when it comes to mining in Greenland, they have shown no interest," he says.
"That leaves me with the concern that maybe it's not about security, maybe it's not about minerals, maybe it is just a question of expanding the territory of the United States.
"And that's actually a point where we are not able to accommodate President Trump."

## Toronto shooting: Suspects on run as 12 injured at Scarborough pub
**7 days ago**
**Mallory Moench
BBC News**
**Toronto police said three men had entered the pub and opened fire**
Three suspects are still at large after 12 people were injured in a shooting at a pub in Toronto, police in the Canadian city say.
The shooting took place at 22:39 on Friday local time (03:39 GMT Saturday) near Scarborough city centre in eastern Toronto.
Authorities said six people suffered bullet wounds and others were hurt by flying or broken glass. The injuries were not life-threatening, they said.
Toronto police said the three men, armed with an assault rifle and handguns, had entered the pub and "opened fire indiscriminately".
A motive "right now remains unclear and we're chasing down all leads", said Police Supt Paul MacIntyre.
"This was a brazen and reckless act of violence that's really shaken our community and the city itself," he added.
Police said they were deploying all available resources to find the suspects.
Earlier, they said that one suspect, wearing a black balaclava, had been seen fleeing the scene in a silver car.
The victims ranged in age from 20s to mid-50s, according to police.
"I'm happy to report, by the grace of God, that there have been no fatalities," Supt MacIntyre said, which he called "extremely lucky."
He said he and other officers were "horrified" by video of the shooting.
"These guys just looked at the crowd and opened fire. It was horrible."
Glass walls were shattered and there was "blood all over the floor", including in the basement, where some people ran to hide before police arrived, he said.
Mayor Olivia Chow expressed deep concern over the mass shooting, telling reporters on Saturday that she was "deeply troubled" by the incident.
"It is troubling because of the magnitude of the shooting and the number of people hurt," Mayor Chow said.
She said that police have been actively investigating the case throughout the night and into the morning.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford also condemned the violence, stating in an X post on Saturday that he fully supports the Toronto Police Service in their search for the suspects.
The number of those injured in this incident is high compared to other shootings in the area in 2024.
Last year, eight people were injured and two killed in shootings and firearm discharges in the police division where Friday's incident occurred, the department's data shows.
In Toronto, which has a three million population, 43 people were killed in shootings last year.
Canada has a lower rate of firearm homicides than its neighbour the US, with 0.6 per 100,000 people compared to 4.5 per 100,000, according to 2021 data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

aHdOZPDgnKj | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/01/russia-trump-zelenskyy-ukraine-leader-oval-office-putin | Russian officials and Moscow’s media outlets reacted with predictable glee to the at the White House on Friday.
Posting on social media, , Putin’s deputy on the security council and former president, called the exchange “a brutal dressing-down in the Oval Office”.
He wrote: “Trump told the ... clown the truth to his face: the Kyiv regime is playing with the third world war … This is useful. But it’s not enough – we need to stop military support .”
In recent days, concern grew in Moscow as Trump seemed to lean toward a more Zelenskyy-friendly position following to Washington by the leaders of Poland, and Britain, who urged support for Ukraine. Trump had indicated a willingness to back European peacekeepers in Ukraine – a move Kyiv and European governments saw as essential to preventing Moscow from reigniting the war, as it had after previous ceasefires.
But any worries the Kremlin may have had faded when Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his vice-president, .
“How Trump and Vance held back from hitting that scumbag is a miracle of restraint,” wrote Maria Zakharova, Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, on Telegram.
There has been no comment so far from Putin, who has instead taken a backseat, likely watching the fallout unfold with satisfaction. “Putin doesn’t have to say much right now,” said a source familiar with the Kremlin’s thinking.
“It’s clear that he enjoyed the show and now believes he can push for even greater demands in Ukraine. That meeting was a bigger victory for Putin than any of his military battles since the start of the war.”
The source predicted that Putin is likely to call Trump in the coming days to argue that Zelenskyy is not someone who can be reasoned with and must be replaced – a sentiment already echoed by some in Moscow as well as Washington.
“The White House will now start looking more closely at other candidates for Ukraine’s presidency,” wrote Alexey Pushkov, a member of the upper house of the Russian parliament, on Telegram.
Regime change in Ukraine has long been a goal for Putin, who has never hidden his desire to install a new leadership in Kyiv which is friendly to Moscow. On Telegram – the primary platform for political discourse in Russia – many influential pro-war bloggers echoed the rhetoric of Trump’s inner circle that portrayed Zelenskyy as an ungrateful child.
“Overall, the meeting in the Oval Office once again revealed the true face of Zelenskyy: ungrateful, arrogant, brazen, and boundless,” wrote Rybar, a popular account with links to the Russian defence ministry.
For Kremlin insiders, the incident also signified a fundamental shift in the global order, with a White House no longer seen as an enemy but rather as a partner to Moscow – one with whom business and politics can be conducted.
“Volodymyr Zelenskyy underestimated the scale of the shift that took place in American politics after Donald Trump’s arrival,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, a prominent Russian foreign-policy analyst who heads a council that advises the Kremlin.
Lukyanov highlighted Friday’s moment when Trump declared that he was not on Ukraine’s side but viewed himself as a mediator in the conflict. “This is a fundamental shift,” Lukyanov added.
But there were also warnings in Moscow that, given Trump’s unpredictable nature, it was too early to declare victory.
“In the short term, this tragicomic exchange will undoubtedly weaken Zelenskyy’s position within Ukraine and give Russian diplomacy additional leverage in its dealings with the US,” said Anton Grishanov, a researcher at a thinktank affiliated with Russia’s foreign ministry.
“That said, Moscow and Washington still have divergent views on the settlement process, and Trump’s unpredictable temperament could bring plenty of surprises on the path to ending the conflict,” he added.
As the dust settles, it’s clear that Friday’s meeting delivered a major blow to Trump’s efforts to negotiate a peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow, while Russia prepares to escalate its offensive against a Ukraine on the verge of losing its most vital military support.
“The war continues,” Lukyanov concluded.

SpgJ_aZidWl | https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/bAWPsgbmtLf8ptay6/for-scheming-we-should-first-focus-on-detection-and-then-on | # For scheming, we should first focus on detection and then on prevention
_This is a personal post and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of other members of Apollo Research._
If we want to argue that the risk of harm from scheming in an AI system is low, we could, among others, make the following arguments:
1. **Detection:** If our AI system is scheming, we have good reasons to believe that we would be able to detect it.
2. **Prevention:** We have good reasons to believe that our AI system has a low scheming propensity or that we could stop scheming actions before they cause harm.
In this brief post, I argue why we should first prioritize detection over prevention, assuming you cannot pursue both at the same time, e.g., due to limited resources. In short, _a) early on, the information value is more important than risk reduction because current models are unlikely to cause big harm but we can already learn a lot from them, and b) attempting prevention without good detection might lead to sneaky scheming which is potentially worse than doing nothing at all._
## Techniques
Naturally, there is a lot of overlap between detection and prevention, e.g., a monitoring-based control approach would likely increase both detection and prevention. My guess is that at least 50% of things we could do to address scheming meaningfully increase detection and prevention. In these cases, we should obviously just do both.
### Detection:
1. **Extensive evals:** We design a wide range of scheming capability and propensity evaluations to get a prior expectation for how likely our AI system is scheming. In these evals, we could, for example, give the AI system a task and a set of constraints. In these scenarios, it is possible to achieve the task more efficiently by breaking some of the constraints. However, since the AI knows that it is not supposed to break the constraints, it has to do so covertly and not get caught if it wants to achieve the task efficiently. We then test how often the AI chooses to scheme, e.g., circumvent the constraints and hide the evidence. These evaluations could be capability evals like and or more propensity-flavored.
2. **Extensive deployment monitoring:** During deployment, we constantly monitor the CoT and actions of the model. We monitor both for scheming-related reasoning in CoT and misaligned actions. Violations are flagged and escalated for review. This could be built out into a prevention method where we stop the actions of the model if the monitor flags.
3. **Post-hoc log analysis:** In addition to online monitoring, we save the logs of all runs to quickly test new hypotheses and detection strategies. We keep them to test future techniques, especially if some trajectories have already been detected as scheming. We could have a database of millions of previous agentic runs labeled with the severity of the violation. We should also keep vetted neutral data as a control case for the monitor.
4. **Red teaming:** We adversarially test evals and monitors. For example, we can use our understanding of the method to construct counterexamples. Then, we can test these counterexamples and iterate. Naturally, this can be extended to an automated red-teaming scheme.
### Prevention:
1. **RLAIF:** We use a version of constitutional AI or deliberative alignment to reduce scheming propensity. We train the model to not scheme even when scheming is an effective strategy. In some sense, we make it have the “virtue” not to scheme. We have good reasons to believe that the model generalized the intended behavior far outside of the training distribution. Furthermore, we have good reasons to believe that our technique encouraged non-scheming instead of sneaky scheming.
2. **Prevention-focused control techniques:** Some control techniques reduce the chance of scheming without detecting instances of scheming. For example, we could paraphrase text to reduce steganography, increase computer security to make scheming actions harder or split up our system into a planner and an actor that can only communicate via text. In both cases, we reduce risk but don’t notice that we did so.
## Reasons to prioritize detection over prevention
1. **Sneaky scheming:** I differentiate between _non-scheming_ and _visible scheming_.
- **Non-scheming** describes a system that genuinely never schemes (this doesn’t mean the model is perfectly aligned, a non-schemer could also be misaligned as long as they’re not hiding that).
- **Visible scheming** describes cases where we can detect scheming reasoning in the CoT, or we have clear evidence of scheming in the model’s actions.
- **Sneaky scheming** describes cases where the model is scheming in a way that we cannot directly see, e.g., reasoning in the forward pass or using steganography.
I’m very worried about sneaky scheming. I expect that current models (at least up to o3) are not capable of reasoning through complicated plans without revealing them in the CoT (if the CoT is hidden, at least the developers can see it). This makes it much easier to find some evidence of scheming, like in the or . However, I worry that if we start to train the model against scheming, e.g., using RLAIF, before we have good detection methods, we will be unable to differentiate between the cases where the model learned sneaky scheming and genuinely learned not to scheme. There are already some cases of simple scheming without revealing it in CoT, e.g., the sandbagging results in or the opaque reasoning results in the .
I think a model that is a sneaky schemer with 20% and a non-schemer with 80% is probably _worse_ than a model that is a 100% known visible schemer, at least at the current level of capabilities. Thus, unless we have confidence in our detection, e.g., through really robust evals and CoT monitoring, I recommend prioritizing improving detection over prevention.
2. **Early on, information value matters most:** Current models (let’s say up to o3) are unlikely to cause outsized harm even if they were scheming. Thus, if a current model had some scheming propensity, it would be concerning but not catastrophic. On the other hand, even with current models, we could already learn a lot about scheming. We could analyze the reasons why the model schemes, e.g., the pressures and constraints under which the models decide to scheme rather than stay within their constraints. We could collect a lot of data in a natural setting instead of a model organism. Since the potential harms become bigger over time, the trade-off shifts from information value to harm prevention. Thus, the natural order is to start with detection and then follow up with prevention rather than vice versa.
3. **Catching AIs red-handed:** With good scheming detection tools, we might catch an AI “red-handed.” In other words, we might find an AI committing an egregious form of scheming in a situation that is clearly salient to a non-expert audience. For example, the AI might try to copy its weights to a different server or bribe a lab employee. However, I would not put all eggs in this basket because I expect that people would freak out for a week after that incident and then . Thus, I prefer plans that don’t rely on “catching AIs red-handed” as the fully load-bearing part.
4. **Good detection supports all other arguments:** We need good detection tools to validate our prevention methods. For example, if we use RLAIF, we need to rigorously test that our technique generalized to far OOD settings, e.g., through detailed evals. Furthermore, good detection tools enable us to test new prevention methods much quicker, e.g., by providing high-signal evidence. In such cases, we need to be careful not to iterate against all of our detection tools and accidentally train against the test set (e.g., creating a sneaky schemer).
5. **Cost-efficiency:** I expect that it’s easier to build good detection tools than to find methods that robustly prevent scheming. For example, I think a fairly simple monitoring setup would already find some very interesting cases and quickly provide interesting evidence about models’ scheming propensities.

Light, airy sponge meets sticky syrup topping – and it’s entry-level to make, too
T This simple British pudding is a nod to tradition, and a nostalgic, school dinner favourite. With its light, airy sponge and sticky treacle topping, it’s comforting and indulgent. Quick to prepare and best served warm with custard or cream, it’s ideal for rounding off a long Sunday lunch, or for brightening a rainy afternoon. It’s a guaranteed crowdpleaser with minimal effort.
### Prep
- 5 min
- Cook
- Serves
- 8–10
**Ingredients:**
- 300g golden syrup
- 200g softened unsalted butter
- 150g golden caster sugar
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- Salt
- 4 eggs
- 200g plain flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder
- Custard, to serve
### Preparation
1. **Baking:** Preheat the oven to 185C (165C fan)/360F/gas 4½. Pour the syrup into a 18cm x 28cm x 5cm baking dish, or similar, add 50ml boiling water, mix well, and set aside.

In 1995, tens of thousands of women from around the world gathered in a sleepy town nearly 40 miles (60km) north of Beijing. The original plan had been to meet in the capital but was unnerved by such a large number of women, leading to a landmark document that remains a pivotal blueprint for gender equality.
In September 1995, tens of thousands of women from around the world gathered in a sleepy town nearly 40 miles (60km) north of Beijing. The original plan had been to meet in the capital but was unnerved by such a large number of women, leading to a landmark document that remains a pivotal blueprint for gender equality. “Beijing was the culmination . As bell hooks put it, we had been trying to move from the margins to the centre – and that’s what was so exciting,” says Charlotte Bunch, founding director of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University in the US.
Participants tramped through mud in the half-built town to attend networking and strategy events in tents; they got soaked riding open-top tourist buses to the official UN conference in Beijing. But it all heightened the sense of camaraderie.

But neither the weather nor the slights could dampen spirits at what proved to be an extraordinary event: the NGO Forum on . Running parallel to at the Beijing International Convention Centre, the forum welcomed 30,000 feminist leaders, rights advocates, Indigenous activists, NGO representatives, and academics from 180 countries. It was the largest international gathering of women the world had ever seen, and a seminal moment in the women’s rights movement. “Beijing was the culmination . As bell hooks put it, we had been trying to move from the margins to the centre – and that’s what was so exciting,” says Ana Cristina González, who was a 27-year-old newly qualified doctor specialising in reproductive health when she went to China as part of the Latin American delegation.
“It made me feel what I dreamed was possible. That meeting marked my entire career and my feminism,” she adds.
“People were screaming at me: ‘Do you know what you have done to our lives? You and the IMF are destroying us.’ I think he was genuinely shocked, but he went back and tried to soften some of the policies.”

When made her speech in Beijing declaring “women’s rights as human rights, once and for all”, the world listened – but the credit goes to the thousands of women who had worked tirelessly in the years before in their own countries and at key UN conferences, including in 1993 and in 1994.
“Up until 1980 women’s events were on the sidelines – they were not viewed at the core of anything the UN was doing. And today we are in the backlash against all those things that we were moving forward,” says Bunch.
Bunch was one of a group of women who came up with the . Also among them was Everjoice Win, a Zimbabwean who had been working in women’s rights since 1989. Both women went to Beijing.
“I have often described the early 1990s as the golden era of transnational organising: there were these spaces – Mexico, Cairo, Vienna, Beijing – some of us went to all four . But it wasn’t just going, but having an agenda collectively to influence the advancement of women’s rights. Everyone had purpose and objectives,” says Win.

## Insights from the 1995 Women’s Conference
The 1995 Women’s Conference in Beijing was a significant moment in women’s history, marking a turning point in the women’s rights movement. The event gathered over 30,000 participants from various countries to discuss and debate issues such as affirming women’s rights as human rights, violence against women, reproductive rights, and the welfare of the girl child. The conference resulted in the landmark , which 30 years later remains a pivotal blueprint for gender equality.
### Impact of the Conference
The sense of camaraderie due to the gathering was reflected in the experience of Ana Cristina González, a founding director of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University in the US. “It was amazing – women of every colour and age and disability and race all fighting for equality and doing things in a very organised and coordinated way. We had an advocacy strategy and all this energy that felt powerful – and we really managed to influence the agenda,” says González.

We had an advocacy strategy and all this energy that felt powerful. We really managed to influence the agenda.”
### Impact on International Women’s Movements
The 12-point plan galvanised governments and civil society and, in 2015, informed the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). “Governments took to the agenda like ducks to water – with limitations. Gender mainstreaming became the approach of choice for governments,” adds Win, who went on to become the first head of women’s rights at Action Aid in 2002.
Win was involved in the 16 days of activism campaign in 1991. Also among them was Everjoice Win, a Zimbabwean who had been working in women’s rights since 1989. Both women went to Beijing.
“I have often described the early 1990s as the golden era of transnational organising: there were these spaces – Mexico, Cairo, Vienna, Beijing – some of us went to all four . But it wasn’t just going, but having an agenda collectively to influence the advancement of women’s rights. Everyone had purpose and objectives,” says Win.
### Political Context
The political landscape of the 1990s was different from the current era, marked by rising authoritarianism, anti-women sentiment, and increased climate and economic crises. “Growing backlash has been reinforced by the hollowing out of policy mechanisms, institutions, and processes that the Platform for Action tasked with advancing gender equality,” the report says.
### Future Outlook
Despite recent crises, the vision of the Beijing declaration is still relevant, especially in an unstable political environment. “We can’t forget we were the people who pushed back an unequal world – we were pushing back and transforming,” says Alexandra Corrêa, co-chair of Sexuality Policy Watch. “There are no easy solutions. The state of the world is a very difficult problem, the conditions are being determined by neo-fascist forces in power in what is still one of the empires of the world.”
### Impact of the Anti-Women Movement
In the face of increasing anti-women sentiment and action, it’s clear that anti-feminist organizations have co-opted the language of women’s development, using terms like “empowering women” while welcoming the rise of neo-fascist forces like Donald Trump.
“‘We put women’s rights centre of Action Aid’s agenda using some of the tools we’d got from the process. Once they understood what gender mainstreaming was we were able to influence the leadership of the organisation, making sure women were in senior roles,’” says Ana Cristina González, who now heads Causa Justa, the group that spearheaded the campaign to decriminalize abortion in Colombia – a
“Unpause and Join with us on our journey to justice and happiness,” says the US Women’s National Alliance (USWNA), which has been at the forefront of the anti-feminist movement in the US.
### The Future of Gender Equality
“It’s a worrying moment,” agrees Win. “The question is: are others going to mimic the orange tyrant – I refuse to use his name – by doing what he does or counter him?”
But if the contemporary political landscape is very different from the 1990s, the lessons learned from Beijing are still relevant, say the women who were there.

“Like other anti-feminist organizations, the Chinese government has co-opted the language of women’s development with its assertions that it is ‘empowering women’ – while welcoming President Donald Trump’s shutdown of USAid which will have on women and girls,” says Sonia Corrêa, co-chair of Sexuality Policy Watch. “There are no easy solutions. The state of the world is a very difficult problem, the conditions are being determined by neo-fascist forces in power in what is still one of the empires of the world.”
### Conclusion
It is clear that the lessons learned from the 1995 Women’s Conference are still relevant despite the current political landscape. “We can’t forget we were the people who pushed back an unequal world – we were pushing back and transforming. We spent years explaining and showing the world there were inequalities and that we wanted to be better. We are fighting for democracies, so we can not think only ‘_how_ are we going to react?’ but ‘what are we going to _continue_ doing?’” says González, who now heads Causa Justa, the group that spearheaded the campaign to decriminalize abortion in Colombia – a .

## Main Content
Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman died of natural causes about a week after his wife Betsy Arakawa, who died after contracting a rare virus, a New Mexico medical investigator has said.
Hackman, 95, died at his Santa Fe home from coronary artery disease, with advanced Alzheimer's disease a contributing factor.
Ms Arakawa, 65, died in the same house from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a respiratory illness caused by exposure to infected rodents. Her cause of death was listed as natural.
Authorities believe she passed away about seven days before her husband, to whom she had been married for more than 30 years. During his career, Hackman won two Academy Awards for The French Connection and Unforgiven.
It is likely that Ms Arakawa died first on 11 February, Dr Heather Jarrell of the New Mexico Medical Investigator's Office told a news conference on Friday.
She said it was "reasonable to conclude" that Hackman had died on 18 February.
Ms Arakawa's last known movements and correspondence were on 11 February, when she was seen going to a grocery store, a CVS pharmacy and a pet store, before returning home in the early evening.
Given that Hackman was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease it is "quite possible that he was not aware that she was deceased", said Dr Jarrell.
She told reporters she was "not aware of his normal daily functioning capability".
-
Hackman had "significant heart disease, and ultimately that's what resulted in his death", Dr Jarrell said, adding that he had had chronic high blood pressure.
He had not eaten anything recently, but had shown no indications of dehydration, she added.
At the news conference, New Mexico Public Health Veterinarian Erin Phipps emphasised that hantavirus infections were extremely rare.
HPS is transmitted through contact with rodent droppings, urine or saliva, often when contaminated dust is inhaled.
She noted that 136 cases had been reported in the state over the past 50 years, with 42% resulting in fatalities.
Dr Phipps said evidence of rodent activity had been found in some buildings on the property, though the risk inside the main house was considered "low".
Investigators are trying to determine how Ms Arakawa contracted the illness. Hackman tested negative for hantavirus.
The couple were found in their home after neighbourhood security conducted a welfare check and saw their bodies on the ground through the window.

The couple were found in their home after neighbourhood security conducted a welfare check and saw their bodies on the ground through the window.
Hackman met Ms Arakawa when she was working part-time at a California gym in the mid-1980s, the New York Times has previously reported.
He won best actor Oscar for his role as Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in William Friedkin's 1971 thriller The French Connection, and again for best supporting actor for playing Little Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood's Western film Unforgiven in 1992.
A relative latecomer to Hollywood, Hackman saw his breakthrough come in his thirties, when he was nominated for an Oscar for portraying Buck Barrow in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde - opposite Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway - and again for I Never Sang for My Father in 1970.
Both films saw him recognised in the supporting actor category. He was also nominated for best leading actor in 1988 for playing an FBI agent in Mississippi Burning.
He played more than 100 roles during his career, including supervillain Lex Luthor in the Christopher Reeve-starring Superman movies in the 1970s and 1980s.
Hackman featured opposite many other Hollywood heavyweights including Al Pacino in 1973's Scarecrow and Gene Wilder in 1974's Young Frankenstein.
His last big-screen appearance came as Monroe Cole in Welcome to Mooseport in 2004, after which he stepped back from Hollywood for a quieter life in New Mexico.

**Mike Amesbury** is standing down as an MP following his conviction for assault,
This means there will definitely be an election in his constituency, Runcorn and Helsby.
This will be a challenge for Labour, which won the seat at the least election with a majority of 14,696. Reform UK came second on 18% of the vote, compared to Labour’s 53%. Nigel Farage’s party is seen as having a good chance of winning but, given that he regularly claims he is going to win the next general election (despite only winning five seats in 2024), failing to win would be a huge setback.
But the contest will also be perilous for Kemi Badenoch. The Tories were third in the constituency at the general election, with 16% of the vote, and a bad result would revive speculation about Badenoch facing a leadership challenge.

Members of the have been paid more than £3m in the last two years by foreign governments including repressive Middle Eastern regimes, .

This rapid turnaround service supports some of their most vulnerable patients, ensuring they have the best possible care.
**Sharma** also showed the inquiry an extract from the witness statement from **Sir John Manzoni**, permanent secretary at the Cabinet Office at the time. Manzoni said he was concerned that “indirect pressure was being placed on the MHRA to approve the supplier’s design at the stage of selecting suppliers to progess to the ventilator challenge”. Manzoni had to intervene “to protect the integrity of the process”, he said.
### No 10 'deeply concerned' about Israel cutting electricity supply to Gaza
Downing Street has urged to restore Gaza’s electricity supply, warning that failing to do so risked breaching international law.
Israel announced it had cut off Gaza’s electricity supply on Sunday evening, a week after it suspended delivery of humanitarian supplies to the territory.
At the lobby briefing this morning the PM’s spokesperson said No 10 was “deeply concerned” by these reports. He said:
> Our position is humanitarian aid should never be contingent on a ceasefire or used as a political tool.
Asked whether the move was against international law, he said this was “a matter for an international court” but added:
> A halt on goods and supplies entering Gaza, including basic needs such as electricity, risks breaching Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.

### Starmer to host second, virtual 'coalition of willing' meeting for countries willing to protect Ukraine
Keir Starmer is to host another summit of countries willing to contribute to Ukraine’s defence in the event of a peace deal, No 10 has said.
The PM’s spokesperson said that the next “coalition of the willing” meeting would take place virtually, probably on Saturday. It will build on what was discussed at the in-person meeting Starmer chaired .
Around 20 countries are taking part, No 10 said, mostly from Europe and the Commonwealth.
And tomorrow Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the chief of the defence staff, will also attend a meeting in Paris with fellow military leaders about the proposal.
Starmer and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, have been leading efforts to ensure that, in the event of Ukraine and Russia agreeing a ceasefire, a Europe-led force could be dispatched to Ukraine to help protect it from further Russian aggression. But Starmer says such a force would also need US backup support.
### Russia expels British diplomat, and spouse of another, over what No 10 says are 'baseless' spying claims
Vladimir Putin’s Russia has expelled one British diplomat and the spouse of another, accusing them of spying, PA Media reports. PA says:
> The pair were accused of engaging in intelligence activity under cover of the embassy in Moscow.
>
> They have been ordered to leave the country within two weeks, the Russian news agency Tass said, citing the country’s FSB security agency.
>
> “The Federal Security Service’s counter-intelligence operations exposed the unreported intelligence presence of the United Kingdom under the cover of the country’s embassy in Moscow,” an **FSB** statement cited by Tass reads.
>
> It is the latest in a series of tit-for-tat expulsions involving the UK’s embassy in Moscow and the Russian mission in London.
**Sharma** also showed the inquiry an extract from the witness statement from **Rhys Williams**, describing Gove’s attitude in this matter as “unreasonable”.

J2hZ3vESn-5 | https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025/mar/08/worlds-hottest-brand-how-miu-miu-defied-sales-plunge-in-fashion-industry | # ‘World’s hottest brand’: how Miu Miu defied sales plunge in fashion industry
As luxury firms struggle worldwide, the ‘knowingly cool’ label is posting record-breaking sales figures.
## Introduction
While profits fall across the luxury fashion industry, Miu Miu, the kooky Italian label, is posting record-breaking sales figures. For a global industry worth almost £1.5tn, fashion is having a bruising time. Last month London fashion week had such a small number of catwalk shows it shrank to a weekend. Many of the biggest fashion houses are between designers, and even super-conglomerate LVMH – which includes Dior, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and most of the drinks brands in your cocktail cabinet – .
Yet Miu Miu almost this year, hitting close to £1bn in sales and being named “hottest brand in the world” by influential search site Lyst for the second year running. Retail sales were up 93%.
Miu Miu is owned by the Prada Group, a small conglomerate overseen by Miuccia Prada – including the well-known Prada label. In 1992, around 14 years after she started working for her family’s business, Mrs Prada – as she’s known in the industry – launched a cheaper womenswear subsidiary inspired by the sort of clothes (cardigans, skirts, wearable shoes) she wanted for her own wardrobe. Miu Miu is Miuccia’s nickname.
The label has always been a bit cooler, and crucially a little bit cheaper than many luxury fashion brands. But its recent success is down to more than just clothes. It’s the shows, the models, the campaigns and – the white whale of modern designers – Mrs Prada’s knack for turning out a viral trend. It’s no wonder that the Prada group are front runners to buy its Milanese rival, Versace.
Over its past five golden years, Miu Miu’s huge fashion hits have included a with a raw hem that became so famous it spawned its own ; satin ballet pumps, which started an (ongoing) arms race for ballet shoes on the high street; designed to be worn without trousers and even plasters on toes. And that’s before we get to the It bags (the most liked luxury item on Vinted right now is a Miu Miu metallic handbag).
For a designer who says she is vehemently opposed to trends – Prada’s menswear show in January was based almost solely “resisting the algorithm” – Mrs Prada has a gift for starting them. Creating “it” items that pique our interest helps with search trends and social media chatter. These clicks not only lead to sales, they are a marketing strategy, too.
> “What I like about Miu Miu is that it’s irreverent,” says Elektra Kotsoni, deputy director for Vogue Business and Runway. Some of these trends, such as the skirt, aren’t even trends at all. In wearing it, you show you’re in on the joke.
But others, such as the ballet flats or this season’s fleeces, are strangely familiar. Kotsoni thinks this sets Miu Miu apart from other brands: “The mishmash of references in every collection basically seems to reflect what women already have in their wardrobes,” she says. “Everyone dress in the style of Miu Miu even if they can’t afford to buy it.”
Fashion is as much about how you wear clothes as the clothes themselves, agrees Dal Chodha, editor and pathway leader of St Martin’s fashion communication course. “I have started to see a lot of young men wearing Miu Miu-style shrunken women’s cardigans around college. And I understand why – has a certain freshness; it feels knowingly cool.”
With the fashion landscape so crowded, the ability of these pieces to cut through our daily barrage of trends is what sets them apart. But it’s also the way they’re packaged up. Many brands play on the idea of archetypes, because there is no better way to sell clothes than through an imagined character that people want to be. Paris has the Chloé Girl, a vision of bohemian whimsy in floaty hems, while Milan has the edgier Miu Miu version, who is both salty, sweet and strangely ageless.

The success of the Miu Miu girl demonstrates Mrs Prada’s uncanny eye for spotting creative talent to front the brand – in the first flush of fame, making a comeback or just perennially cool. A year before Drew Barrymore’s iconic turn in _Scream_ in 1997, she fronted a Miu Miu campaign. Lupito Nyong’o was Miu Miu’s girl the year she won the Oscar for best supporting actress. , fresh from _The Crown_ and sporting an elfin cut, has also fronted a campaign. Tennis star Coco Gauff and actor Sydney Sweeney both picked Miu Miu gowns for this year’s _Vanity Fair_ Oscar party.
Sometimes, they’re not even girls. Willem Dafoe, 69, closed the last Miu Miu one, and so has Kristin Scott Thomas, 64. The autumn/winter 2024 show included Qin Huilan, a 70-year-old Chinese doctor from Shanghai, .
Miu Miu recently hired the Russian stylist Lotta Volkova, who is known for her quirky model casting. In using real people, non-models and even men, these shows appeal to people who want to see themselves – or at least people that don’t conform to the usual beauty standards – reflected on the catwalk. “ women of different generations” says Kotsoni. “Your mum can wear it as well as your daughter.”
On top of that, while many fashion brands have cultural projects, few have Miu Miu’s cultural reach. Directors such as Miranda July, Chloë Sevigny and Joanna Hogg have made films for Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales short film initiative. The brand has just announced the second year of the Miu Miu literary club to be held at Milan design week. Last year’s Summer Reads event – when the brand gave away feminist books for free at news stands around the world – was another viral success story.
Finally for fashion editors, their love of Miu Miu may be all about the timing. The brand shows in Paris on the final day of the final fashion week of the season. If something is as much fun as Miu Miu, you’re more likely to remember it.

gOZdBIuF938 | https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/mar/13/universality-by-natasha-brown-review-clever-satire-of-identity-politics | # Universality by Natasha Brown review – clever satire of identity politics
Slyly investigating language and bias in media culture, this follow-up to Assembly confirms Brown as one of the most intelligent voices writing today
Should your social media occasionally present you with publishing-related content, you may have spotted proofs for Natasha Brown’s Universality on your feed last autumn. The excitement with which various “bookfluencers” clutched them was twofold. Brown appeared on the Granta Best of Young British Novelists list in 2023, and Universality is the follow-up to her 2021 debut, , which saw her shortlisted for a Goldsmiths, Orwell, and Folio prize: its critical and commercial popularity has undoubtedly created a sense of anticipation for this next book. But alongside that fact was the feeling that the proof itself provoked as an aesthetic object: striking and slender, with its reflective gold jacket and spectrally engraved lettering. “Oh, it’s a book,” a family member of mine exclaimed on holding it, having been intrigued by what I was carrying around. It wasn’t an absurd response. Those early copies were fashioned to look like bars of gold, in reference to the fact that the first 49 pages are delivered in the style of a magazine feature about a young man who uses one to bludgeon the leader of a group called The Universalists, a faction of political activists (or squatters, depending on who you ask) attempting to form a self-sustaining “microsociety” on a Yorkshire farm during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It’s the sort of story that would set social media alight for days, or rather, as Brown wryly notes in the book’s second chapter, two weeks: “a modern parable the fraying fabric of British society”. Each detail is more eye-popping than the last. Both the farm and the gold belong to a banker named Richard Spencer, a man with “multiple homes, farming land, investments and cars \ a household staff; a pretty wife, plus a much younger girlfriend”. A perfect symbol, in short, of “the excessive fruits of late capitalism”. Jake, the young man doing the bludgeoning, is the son of a reactionary British journalist, Miriam “Lenny” Leonard, whose columns are designed less to provoke thought and more to go viral online. The Universalists themselves share DNA with Extinction Rebellion, and do just as good a job at polarising the great British public. At the centre of it all is that gold ingot, with which, post-bludgeoning, Jake absconds after police raid the farm. Hence the flashy proofs. Except – not really. Engraved on the back of each copy is a quote from the penultimate chapter: “Words are your weapons, they’re your tools, your currency.” After the first section the conceit of a magazine feature drops, with succeeding chapters told from different characters’ perspectives. We learn to read carefully.
> Pronouncements on 'wokeism', on meritocracy, on race and culture wars fall from characters’ mouths like bombs
Assembly was a similarly slim novel about a Black female banker recently diagnosed with cancer who prepares to attend a party at her boyfriend’s parents’ country estate. It drew comparisons to Mrs Dalloway, but should rightfully have been read against French philosopher and linguist Roland Barthes: Brown’s self-professed aim when she began writing was to assess whether “” in the context of 21st-century identity politics. Despite a lucrative job and a dynamic mind, as an ill Black woman the narrator of Assembly functioned as a discrete semiotic system on to which other characters (and, regrettably, various readers) projected, to quote Barthes, “the weight of a gaze conveying an intention that \ linguistic”. Various well-meaning remarks uttered by other characters betrayed a series of flawed insights regarding the narrator’s status, potential, health, emotional wellbeing and desires. “I grew up dirt poor, you know \ So I get it. I get the grind. All this – it’s as foreign to me as it is to you,” a work colleague tells the narrator, despite having no discernible knowledge of her upbringing or previous work history. That such utterances were rejected by the narrator herself went somewhat ironically unnoticed by most of the people who interviewed Brown during her publicity run for the book. “Why subject myself further to their reductive gaze?” read one passage. “To this crushing _objecthood_. Why endure my own dehumanisation?” Why not, in other words, try to be free?
This time Brown is having more fun within the constraints of our current sociopolitical discourse. Universality is less measured than its predecessor, and trades on the inverse of its core question: nothing about the language in it is neutral. Pronouncements on “wokeism”, on meritocracy, on race and culture wars fall from characters’ mouths like bombs. Thanks to the novel’s ingenious structure, the more you hear them, the more you realise how inhibiting they are, and how soul-crushingly tiring it is to spend your one precious life negotiating their deployment in a rigged and utterly useless system: a realisation only one character profits from, though dangerously so.
It’ll be interesting to watch Brown navigate her publicity run in an era of tech bros heralding a very particular mode of free speech. If Assembly was a meditation on the linguistic construction of cultural myths that dominate our present-day understanding of identity, then the final two chapters of Universality successfully consolidate this new novel as an observational satire about the language games that enable that process. To this end, Brown is one of our most intelligent voices writing today, able to block out the short-term chatter around both identity and language in order to excavate much more uncomfortable truths. And despite how genuinely satisfying it is to watch her deconstruct the world as we know it now, Universality arouses in me an excitement over what could happen should she ever choose to stray from social realism. What _should_ we be doing with language? How might things look otherwise?

ZSaVUU_UVW- | https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-rapidly-expands-timber-production/ | # Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Rapidly Expands Timber Production
**FREEING OUR FORESTS:** Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to immediately increase domestic timber production and streamline federal policies to enhance forest management, reduce wildfire risks, and decrease reliance on imported timber.
- The Order calls for new or updated agency guidance to facilitate increased timber production, sound forest management, reduced delivery times, and decreased timber supply uncertainty.
- It cuts red tape in order to streamline timber production and identifies measures to boost timber sales from public lands.
- It pushes for quicker approvals under the Endangered Species Act so that forestry projects are not delayed by slow reviews.
**BOOSTING DOMESTIC TIMBER PRODUCTION:** President Trump is committed to creating jobs, lowering construction costs, and making the United States more self-reliant by tapping into its abundant timber resources.
- Timber production is essential for the construction, energy, manufacturing, and shipping industries.
- The United States has an abundance of timber resources that can more than meet domestic timber production needs, but burdensome Federal policies have prevented full utilization of these resources while the unfair trade practices of exporters into our country are depressing demand.
- Increased timber production will help reduce foreign dependency, lower costs, and enhance economic security.
- Currently, the United States imports billions of dollars’ worth of lumber annually, which could be produced domestically.
- Strong national security requires a reliable domestic wood industry for military and civilian needs.
- The wood industry is a crucial part of the U.S. manufacturing and defense industrial base, supporting 500 facilities and over 750,000 direct and indirect jobs.
- As the recent California wildfires have shown, forest management and wildfire risk reduction are essential to protecting American lives and communities.
**IMPROVING FOREST MANAGEMENT:** President Trump has long been an advocate for improving forest management to protect communities and natural resources.
- In his first term, President Trump signed legislation to improve the funding process for the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior’s wildfire suppression operations.
- Before this fix, the funding structure forced firefighting agencies to take funds from prevention programs to cover the rising costs of responding to wildfires.
- President Trump took strong action to prevent and combat the spread of wildfires, focusing on strategies to reduce fire risks and improve forest conditions.
- As part of his broader America First agenda, President Trump is focused on reducing foreign dependency on foreign goods across various sectors, including steel, aluminum, and copper.

Traveler says flyer negotiates 'rude' airplane seat swap request, triggering reactions on social media

A woman became frustrated on a recent flight to Germany when the passenger seated next to her continuously stretched his arm out to take photos near the window. The video has gone viral on TikTok.
As flyers see a rise in seat squatters on airplanes, other travelers believe that negotiating a swap is a better alternative to robbing assigned seats.
Still, it appears not everyone agrees with swapping, as one Reddit user questioned the "etiquette" behind asking someone to switch seats
The user posted to the sub-thread r/unitedairlines to share a recent encounter he or she witnessed on a flight.
"Just now an older woman sitting next to me moved herself 2 rows up from 14E to 12C next to her adult daughter and grandchild during boarding," the user, who claimed to be flying United Airlines, wrote.

The flight attendants on board (not pictured) eventually apologized to the man who switched seats and even gave him free snacks and drinks, the Reddit user wrote.
"Upon landing I think mom felt guilty…She was very loudly talking about how he didn’t have to move if he didn’t want to but didn’t actually directly thank him or show any shame. Very odd person," the user wrote.
#### An etiquette expert based in California (not pictured) said it's OK to request to swap seats on an airplane if done politely.
California-based etiquette expert Rosalinda Randall previously told Fox News Digital that "no one has the obligation to "
"Consider this: You may have more luck if a flight attendant makes the announcement or can offer to buy them or two, pay for airline extras, pay them cash/transfer funds," she added.

Verizon executive Sowmyanarayan Sampath and psychologist Keneisha Sinclair-McBride address growing tech exposure in kids and how parents can help ensure their safety and well-being.
A recent study from the University of California, San Francisco, indicates that pre-teens with greater exposure to certain types of tech use could be at a higher risk of developing manic symptoms.
Published in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, the study analyzed a nationwide sample of 9,243 children in the U.S. between 10 and 11 years old.
Young people who spent more time engaged with social media, texting, videos, and video games were more likely to have "inflated self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, distractibility, rapid speech, racing thoughts, and impulsivity — behaviors characteristic of manic episodes, a key feature of bipolar-spectrum disorders," a press release noted.

U6FPUhWyc_X | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4nw84dzr8o | # US charges Chinese hackers who targeted government dissidents
6 March 2025
**Annabelle Liang**
Business reporter
## Introduction
US prosecutors have charged 12 Chinese nationals for being part of an alleged hacking scheme, which sold data of US-based dissidents to the Chinese government.
The "state-sponsored" operation also targeted government agencies including the Treasury, according to the Justice Department (DOJ).
Hackers also allegedly targeted an American religious organisation, and a newspaper in Hong Kong, the statement added.
China has not responded to these specific allegations, but have strongly denied other accusations in the past.
## Who is being charged?
Among the individuals charged were two officers of China's Ministry of Public Security.
The DOJ said that hackers, which appeared to represent a private company, i-Soon, charged Chinese agencies between $10,000 and $75,000 for each "exploited" email inbox.
They allegedly "conducted computer intrusions" under the direction of Chinese ministries and on their own initiative, and were "paid handsomely for stolen data".
"Today, we are exposing the Chinese government agents directing and fostering indiscriminate and reckless attacks against computers and networks worldwide," said Sue J Bai, who heads the DOJ's National Security Division.
"We will continue to fight to dismantle this ecosystem of cyber mercenaries and protect our national security," she added.
## Who was targeted?
No further details on the targeted US-based dissidents were provided.
The religious organisation hit by hackers was described as one which "previously sent missionaries to China and was openly critical of the PRC government". PRC is short for the People's Republic of China.
A Hong Kong newspaper was also on the list. While it was not named, the statement said that it was "considered as being opposed to the PRC government".
Besides US agencies, hackers were said to have targeted the foreign ministries of Taiwan, India, South Korea and Indonesia.
Last October, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said hacks targeting two major US presidential campaigns .
Earlier last year, with running a hacking operation that lasted at least 14 years and targeted foreign critics of China.
Operations linked by Western governments to China have also targeted the UK's Electoral Commission, and the UK and New Zealand parliaments.
As part of its long-running rewards programme, the US State Department said it was offering up to $10m for information on i-Soon, its employees and Chinese officials "engaged in malicious cyber activities highlighted in the Department of Justice's indictments".

4CBtUyu5x7d | https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqlyz04q23qo | Canadian serial killer's victim found in landfill
===========================
7 days ago
Max Matza, BBC News
The remains of an indigenous woman murdered by a serial killer have been found after a search of a landfill in the Canadian province of Manitoba, police say.
Morgan Harris' remains were recovered at the Prairie Green Landfill, north of the city of Winnipeg, said officials. Authorities had been searching for Ms Harris, 39, and Marcedes Myran, 26, both of Long Plain First Nation. Police say two sets of remains have been found.
Ms Harris and Ms Myran were among four indigenous women killed in 2022 by convicted murderer Jeremy Skibicki, who dumped their bodies in two different landfills over a three-month span.
The search of the Prairie Green Landfill began late last year following a lengthy pressure campaign by indigenous leaders.
Cambria Harris, Morgan Harris' daughter, said in a Facebook post on Friday that the discovery of her mother's remains was a "very bittersweet moment".
"Please keep our families in your hearts tonight and every day going forward as we trust this process," the post said.
Police initially declined to search the landfill, and a federal government study concluded that a search could take three years and cost up to C$184m (£100m; $128m), with workers exposed to hazardous chemicals.
Manitoba eventually pledged C$20m to search for the remains - funds that were matched by the federal government.
Skibicki was convicted in July last year of the murders of Ms Harris and Ms Myran, as well as of killing a third woman, Rebecca Contois, 24, of O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First Nation, and a still-unidentified woman who has been given the name Buffalo Woman.
Their murders went undetected for months until a man looking for scrap metal in a bin outside Skibicki's apartment found partial human remains, identified as belonging to Ms Contois.
Canada has long faced a crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, indigenous women make up 10% of the population of missing women in Canada and 16% of female homicides. Indigenous women make up about 4% of the female population in Canada.

kBf39w2fgno | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/05/trump-nih-bhattacharya | Donald Trump’s nominee to run the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Jay Bhattacharya, told senators he was committed to ensuring scientists “have the resources they need” – even as the $48bn agency he hopes to lead has become a focus of the administration’s ideological war and cost-cutting efforts.
At a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Bhattacharya made a pitch for free scientific inquiry and an examination of the chronic disease epidemic, now a cornerstone of Republican health rhetoric, while hoping to serve in an administration that has frightened scientists into self-censorship.
“Science should be an engine for freedom – knowledge and freedom. It shouldn’t be pushing mandates for vaccines,” said Bhattacharya, referring to pandemic-era mandates, and articulating a vein of libertarian thinking that has rejuvenated Republican health rhetoric in the time since. “If science is a force for freedom and knowledge, it will have universal support.”
Bhattacharya ignored the Republican party’s role in sowing distrust of the scientific establishment, argued “good data” would change minds and, in the words of one senator, strained credulity by asserting the US president would not ask him to do anything illegal.
For a man whose pandemic-era rise was built on questioning authority, some assertions landed between wishful thinking and willful blindness. But for all of Bhattacharya’s remarkable answers, dissent was muted.
Some in academia now see Bhattacharya as the option to run the NIH. And, after confirming Robert F Kennedy Jr, the nation’s leading vaccine critic, to lead the department of health, there is little doubt Republicans have the votes.
“Maybe I’m naive, senator,” Bhattacharya said in response to a question about vaccine skepticism, “but I believe very fundamentally that research, if replicable, if done right, is so persuasive will move people to take actions.”
Bhattacharya was at one time a low-profile researcher at Stanford University, himself receiving $3.7m in NIH grants, according to an agency database. His star rose among conservatives when he in 2020. He was ostracized by the scientific establishment and blacklisted by Twitter – only to be invited to the platform’s headquarters by the billionaire Elon Musk.
In turn, he became a darling of the right: hosting his own podcast devoted to questioning medical consensus, working as an expert witness in courts (even if find him convincing) and often appearing on .
But Bhattacharya’s pitch for free scientific inquiry is in striking conflict with the administration’s actions. His nomination comes as the research world has been rattled by mass firings, funding freezes, and a measles outbreak that claimed the first American life in .
Some of the most pressing questions came from the Republican senator Bill Cassidy, a physician from Louisiana who has steadfastly refused to engage in the anti-vaccine conspiracy theories peddled by some colleagues.
“There is now a child who died of a vaccine preventable disease in Texas,” Cassidy said about the measles outbreak.
Would the nominee spend _even more_ taxpayer dollars to research a link between vaccines and autism when the idea has been “exhaustively” debunked?
“I don’t think there’s a link between the \ vaccine and autism,” said Bhattacharya. “The only reason I’m not saying wholeheartedly yes” – that federal dollars could be better spent elsewhere – is “there are people who might disagree with me.”
“There are people who disagree that the world is round,” Cassidy retorted. “People still think Elvis is alive.”
“My sense, my inclination is to give people good data,” said Bhattacharya. “That’s how you address those concerns.”
“I’m not sure at what end point we say we have good data,” said Cassidy, appearing unsatisfied.
At the NIH alone, the Musk-led “department of government efficiency” (Doge) fired roughly . Bhattacharya characterized this as “personnel decisions” to which he was not privy. The administration has also in a probably illegal scheme, is to thaw funding and is seeking to that .
Trump to end “the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government” in his state of the union speech only the evening before – a policy that in practical terms is an of NIH grants.
“I wasn’t involved in any decision making at the NIH up to this point,” was a common refrain for Bhattacharya when questioned about whether he would protect research funding.
More broadly, the funding freezes and proposed cuts have sown chaos in the research world – academic institutions have , postgraduate researchers are struggling to find placements amid budget cuts, and delayed funding has many researchers worried their projects are on the .
Arguably the most pointed question of the hearing came from the Democratic senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire: “If directed by the president to take action that would break the law, would you follow the law or would you follow the president’s directive?”
“Senator, I don’t believe the president will ever ask me to break the law,” said Bhattacharya.
Hassan said: “Well, that strains credulity given, especially the last few weeks, and it’s a disappointing answer.”

2WSnQfNkne4 | https://www.theguardian.com/global/2025/mar/15/shit-you-should-care-about-lucy-blakiston-media | # How a New Zealander working from her mum’s kitchen started a news service read by Madonna
The success of Shit You Should Care About has been down to Lucy Blakiston’s focus on social media at a time where news avoidance is growing.
Lucy Blakiston, the 27-year-old founder of a thriving global media company, loves being underestimated. And swearing.
“I wear on purpose the girliest, pinkest, most colourful outfit to an event of tech-Bros,” she tells the Guardian from her home in New Zealand’s capital, Wellington.
“”, a company that says it “cuts through the bullshit” to make global issues and news accessible for broader and younger audiences.
She trawls news websites to pull together easy-to-read stories on everything from celebrity culture to news on conflicts, which she then boils down to digestible snippets to share on Instagram, X and TikTok. Fans can also subscribe to a free newsletter and tune into podcasts, while paying subscribers fund the business.
What began as a blog with her friends Ruby Edwards and Olivia Mercer in 2018, Shit You Should Care About has since amassed nearly four million followers on , including celebrities Bella Hadid, Madonna and, to Blakiston’s surprise, Joe Rogan. It has more than 80,000 newsletter subscribers, and has spawned a podcast series and book titled . Nearly half of the platform’s followers are based in the US, with another roughly 30% in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The company’s success lies in meeting Blakiston’s generation where they are: social media.
Research by the has found that engagement with news, especially among young people, has steadily declined over the past decade.
Still, young people are using social platforms to source their information as trust in mainstream media also declines. In recent years, news aggregation accounts have and Instagram.
“Lucy figured out really early they would have to show up in the places are and you have to speak the language,” said Duncan Greive, a media commentator and co-founder of The Spinoff, a New Zealand-based online news magazine. “Picking Instagram as a platform, and then using the stylistic choices she made around how to make it presentable and palatable in those environments – that was the genius.”
There’s a tension over where these platforms sit in the broader news ecosystem or act as a substitute for legacy news sites, Greive said.
Either way, he said, “there are lessons in style, tone and distribution legacy media would do well to observe”.
## Harry Styles is a ‘Trojan horse’
Between 2022 and 2023, Blakiston’s fellow co-founders left the business to follow other pursuits, leaving Blakiston to run her media business alone from a small desk in her candy-coloured bedroom.
Blakiston’s home is a visual echo of her online world, embracing politics, pop culture and whimsy. The red-black-and-white flag of Māori sovereignty hangs in her hallway, is displayed on her living room wall and tiny ceramic mushrooms peep up out of plant pots waiting to be moved into an outside “fairy garden”.
Online, Blakiston sandwiches bulletins on climate change, war and Indigenous rights between deep-dives into cultural shifts, “mundane polls” – like “Do you keep your eyes open or closed at the dentist?” – and “timeline cleanses” of celebrity crushes, primarily Blakiston’s hero, singer .
“Using Harry Styles can Trojan Horse people into caring about the news,” Blakiston said, adding that fandom – particularly when experienced by women and girls – is often derided but can be a powerful tool.
“The world is so happy to take money from fangirls, but it won’t take them seriously,” she said. “If you love a sport, you can become a sports commentator or sports journalist – but if you love a boyband, what options has the world told you you have?”
Blakiston “owes much” of Shit You Should Care About to loving One Direction. The skills she gained running a One Direction fan account as a teenager were instrumental to the construction of her media company – from editing and Photoshopping to mobilising large groups.
Her celebration of Styles is an antidote to the onslaught of bad news. “The ethos,” she said, “is giving you the news, without the blues.”
But amid the fun and frivolity, Blakiston also uses her platform to explore difficult subject matters – medicating depression and navigating grief after her brother’s sudden death in 2019, for example, and deeply researched coverage of global crises.
The latter, she views as complementary to – rather than a challenge against – legacy media. “I see it as an ecosystem,” she said, describing herself as a middle man. “I couldn’t exist without good journalism.”
Her venture was born from her own frustrations in trying to understand global issues while studying media and international relations at university in 2018. Around the same time, she travelled to Myanmar, where her exposure to the ignited a sociopolitical awakening.
“I was looking around one day and thinking: ‘Is anyone else struggling to make sense of all of this?’” she said, recounting her days sitting in her classes.
Blakiston texted her friends proposing a blog where they could write what they wanted: “Harry Styles, or the Bachelor or gay rights in India”.
“It has not strayed from those initial texts whatsoever, which I am deeply proud of,” she said.
By June 2020, their Instagram account had 200,000 followers. Then, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, her platform helped cut through misinformation, winning over celebrity fans, who – by sharing her posts – catapulted her page’s following to a million by July.
Blakiston remembers thinking: “We have Ariana Grande coming to a Kiwi … who’s just been laid off from her waitressing job from Covid, sitting at her mum’s kitchen table.
“It was the scariest time and the most exciting time … we went into panic mode … but it wasn’t a deterrent, it was a moment of: ‘OK, you need to learn Lucy’.”
Since then, the self-described “obsessive” has thrown everything into the company. It’s both a job and a hobby, she said, rising at 5am to spend hours digesting news, factchecking sources, and sending out newsletters and social media posts.
When she is not up-skilling in technology, or presenting to international summits, she is cooking, reading and spending time with her friends – a close-knit group she said keeps her grounded and happy.
“Most of my days are thinking and pottering … watching Love Island, then trying to find a way to explain a big foreign policy announcement,” she laughs. “But otherwise its a pretty normal fucking life.”

Gt7Na_cDj5k | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/10/donald-trump-criticises-former-australian-prime-minister-pm-malcolm-turnbull | # Former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says leaders must stand up to bullies after being lashed by Donald Trump
The former Australian prime minister has said leaders should “not give in to bullies” after he was lashed by Donald Trump in a late-night social media post.
Taking to the Truth Social platform just before midnight Sunday in Washington DC, the US president said Turnbull led Australia from “behind” and did not understand China.
“Malcolm Turnbull, the former Prime Minister of Australia who was always leading that wonderful country from ‘behind’ never understood what was going on in China, nor did he have the capacity to do so. I always thought he was a weak and ineffective leader and, obviously, Australian’s agreed with me!!!”
The post appears to be in response to an interview by Turnbull with Bloomberg in which he said Trump’s chaotic leadership style would benefit China, to the detriment of the US.
“President Xi will aim to be the exact opposite of Trump: where Trump is chaotic, he will be consistent. Where Trump is rude and abusive, he’ll be respectful. Where Trump is erratic, he will be consistent.”
Turnbull said the world was seeing an “undiluted” version of Trump in his second term, and that his capricious behaviour would be seen as advantageous for China’s president, Xi Jinping, in international relations.
For countries forced to choose between “China on the one hand, and Trump on the other”, many would “find China a more attractive partner”.
Contacted by the Guardian, Turnbull said his commentary on Bloomberg “speaks for itself”.
Speaking to Sarah Ferguson on ABC’s 7.30 on Monday night, Turnbull described Trump’s comments as “rude and abusive” and doubled down on comments the US president was driving countries closer to China.
“If Trump abuses them, seeks to bully them, puts crippling tariffs on them, they will naturally edge closer to China,” the former prime minister said.
Trump and Turnbull have history. The pair shared an acrimonious phone call in 2017 over the US-Australia refugee swap deal, which had been negotiated by Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama.
Trump said it was a bad deal and accepting it would make him look like a “dope”. “I have had it. I have been making these calls all day and this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call. This is ridiculous,” he said shortly before the call ended.
But at other times, the pair have appeared friendly. , even during a meeting with the French president, Emmanuel Macron.
Turnbull was prime minister from 2015 to 2018. He did not lose office at an election but rather through an internal Liberal party spill, when he lost the leadership to Scott Morrison.

kodI94m-qov | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/13/ukraine-war-briefing-putin-visits-kursk-as-trump-threatens-consequences-if-ceasefire-not-agreed | # Ukraine war briefing: Putin visits Kursk as Trump threatens consequences if ceasefire not agreed
Russian president Vladimir Putin has visited Kursk for the first time since partly invaded the Russian region in a surprise August 2024 offensive. The Russian president expressed hope his army was on the brink of “fully liberating” Kursk after it claimed to have retaken 24 settlements in the past five days. “I am counting on the fact that all the combat tasks facing our units will be fulfilled, and the territory of the Kursk region will soon be completely liberated from the enemy,” he said on state television.
Minutes after Putin’s remarks aired, Ukraine’s army commander-in-chief, Gen Oleksandr Syrsky, suggested his troops were pulling back to minimise losses. “In the most difficult situation, my priority has been and remains saving the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. To this end, the units of the defence forces, if necessary, manoeuvre to more favourable positions,” Syrsky posted online, in terms typically used to describe a withdrawal.
Syrskyi said the Russian military was suffering huge personnel and equipment losses while trying to achieve “political gains” by attempting to oust Ukrainian troops. Sudzha is the largest settlement that Ukraine seized in Kursk, and the Ukraine-based Deep State open-source mapping project showed earlier on Wednesday that Kyiv was no longer in full control of it. “The enemy is using assault units of airborne troops and special operations forces to break through our defences, oust our troops out of the Kursk region and move fighting to the territory of Sumy and Kharkiv regions,” Syrskyi said.
Volodymyr Zelensky said that Kyiv was doing “as much as possible” to protect its soldiers. “The Russians are clearly trying to put maximum pressure on our troops, and our military command is doing what it has to do,” the Ukrainian president told a press conference in Kyiv. “We are preserving the lives of our soldiers as much as possible.”
Donald Trump as Ukraine’s president urged him to take strong steps if Moscow failed to support a 30-day ceasefire agreed meeting in Saudi Arabia. Washington, Kyiv and Europe are waiting for Moscow’s response to the proposal, and US envoys are expected to hold talks with Putin by the end of the week. The Kremlin has not publicly said whether or not it supports an immediate ceasefire. If Putin refuses, Trump said he could “do things financially that would be very bad for Russia”.
Zelenskyy said he expected strong measures from the Washington if Russia rejected the ceasefire proposal. “I understand that we can count on strong steps. I don’t know the details yet but we are talking about sanctions \ and strengthening Ukraine.”
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said Washington wanted Moscow’s agreement with no strings attached. “That’s what we want to know - if they’re prepared to do it unconditionally,” Rubio said on a plane heading to a G7 meeting in Canada. “If the response is yes, then we know we’ve made real progress, and there’s a real chance of peace. If their response is no, it would be highly unfortunate, and it’ll make their intentions clear.”

hDSNVFTXrZC | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/28/jd-vance-volodymyr-zelenskyy | # How JD Vance emerged as the chief saboteur of the transatlantic alliance
## Analysis
in Washington
Vance snaked his way in first to the row between Trump and Zelenskyy, his second intrusion this month after Munich
“I think it’s disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media,” Vance said, his voice rising. “You bring people on a propaganda tour, Mr President … Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?”
“During the war, everyone has problems,” Zelenskyy replied. “But you have nice ocean and don’t feel now. But you will feel it in the future.”
“You don’t know that,” Trump interjected angrily. “You don’t know that. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.”
The rest, as Trump would later call it, was “great television”. By design, it was disastrous for .
> That was a train wreck by design
Sam Greene of King’s College London
This was Vance’s second great intervention this month. His Eurosceptic worldview came into focus in Munich, telling them that “if you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you”.
At the time, Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, said: “Listening to that speech … they try to pick a fight with us and we don’t want to pick a fight with our friends.”
But on Friday, Vance finally got his fight. The US vice-president is quietly assembling a foreign policy team with a deeply skeptical view of Kyiv’s value as a future ally. And European officials have lined up to back Zelenskyy, saying that the Trump team’s performance in the Oval Office indicated that the US was truly siding with Vladimir Putin in the war.
“Now is the moment to stay calm, but not carry on,” wrote Camille Grand, a distinguished policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and former assistant secretary general for defense investment at Nato. “The US ally has now officially decided to take a stance inconsistent with our traditionally shared interests and values. This might be temporary or lasting but this will have profound and enduring consequences.”
There is a thing in Washington that many people understand but that few will say: that the was looking for a pretext to ruin its relationship with Ukraine, and that the canned messaging that followed the Oval Office feels oddly coordinated and premeditated.
“That was a train wreck by design,” said Sam Greene, a professor of Russian politics at King’s College London. “The quiet conversation since Munich has been about setting Ukraine up for a fall. If a real deal was going to be unattainable, right, that somebody would need to take the blame for it, and it would likely be the Ukrainians, right?”

By Friday afternoon, the Trump administration was briefing reporters that it was so offended by Zelenskyy’s conduct that it would consider cutting all military aid to Ukraine, including ammunition, vehicles and missiles awaiting shipment. The official told the Washington Post that the conflict with Zelenskyy had not been premeditated.
But the commentary from party allies was oddly formulaic and repetitive. Lindsey Graham, who had posed for a photo with Zelenskyy just hours earlier, tweeted: “America was disrespected and the deal is off. I have never been more proud of President @realDonaldTrump and Vice President @JDVance for standing up for America First.”
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, who has been one of Ukraine’s strongest backers up until his confirmation, tweeted: “Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you!”
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, tweeted: “Was honored to be with @POTUS, @VP, and in the Oval today during the bi-lateral with President Zelensky. As the President has ALWAYS done – he stood for America … America First.”
It is difficult to know who is more contemptible: those who wanted this or those who merely went along with it. There is a picture in the Oval Office of Rubio and Vance sitting side by side as Trump rips into Zelenskyy. Rubio looks deeply uncomfortable, his hands clasped and his face downcast. Vance looks ecstatic. He finally got the fight he wanted to pick.

Cherry Hill woman helps daughter deliver baby in a car just hours after her own mother died
=========================================================================================
By
Friday, February 28, 2025
CHERRY HILL, N.J. (WPVI) -- At just 6.5 lbs, baby Noah couldn't wait and arrived nearly 2 weeks early.
> "Just still can't believe he's here and everything happened the way it did, but just very thankful," said Alysa West, Noah's mother.
But was it coincidence or fate?
Alysa said her lunch was cut short at her mother's house in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on February 25 when suddenly she had a contraction.
> "We hopped in the car, drove halfway down the street, and she started screaming 'Mom, my water just broke,'" said Elissa Danielle West, Alysa's mother.
Immediately after, the top of the baby's head popped out, and a few seconds later, a baby boy emerged. The West family was in shock and overwhelmed. "I thought I was dead," Alyssa told NBC News. "They just sat there and looked at us, and they said 'Everything is going to be okay.' And we said, 'Let's get in the car and get back home' and we drove back to our house."
Elissa said her mother's condition was deteriorating, but she was determined to hold on to Noah. "My mother loved holding babies, and unfortunately, she won't get to hold this one, but she's there," said Elissa.
Noah was born 2 weeks early, with a healthy and stable condition. "He was the most beautiful thing I ever saw," Elissa said.
> "He would be my baby," Elissa said. "He would be my son."
Alyssa and Noah are expected to go home on Saturday, with the family's funeral scheduled for March 8.
The West family is still in the process of planning the funeral, but it will be on March 8 - which was Noah's due date.

## Trump’s 2024 Election Day victory, 2019 Mueller report both hurt Maddow ratings
### Published March 13, 2025 5:00am EDT
By
Rachel Maddow has shed roughly a quarter of her viewers since prevailed on Election Day, marking the second time that a Trump victory turned into a loss for MSNBC’s most popular host.
"The Rachel Maddow Show" averaged 2.3 million viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day but has shed 22% for an average audience of 1.8 million from Trump’s victory through March 7.
The decline is even more dramatic among the advertiser-voted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as "The Rachel Maddow Show" has lost 29% in the critical category when comparing her post-Election Day audience to 2024’s total before Trump’s decisive win over then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

The cookbook author’s easy mirepoix mussels is so moreish you’ll need a whole baguette to soak up its fragrant broth
- Check out more
-
Mussels have all the theatre of oysters without the price tag. They’re sweet like scallops, but harder to overcook, and have no clammy shell grit to purge. They’re a mollusc with plenty of shell-confidence! And, with a mirepoix (a French-style base of sauteed onion, carrot, and celery) under your belt, _you’ll_ have a confidence boost too, with a classic flavour builder for midweek.
You can usually pick up a kilo of mussels for under $10, which is great bang-for-buck. A good rule of thumb is 500g of mussels per eater, as much of the weight is in the shell. They’re super sustainable, earning a “better choice” nod from , since their farming process requires no additional inputs, and can even help cleanse coastlines and waterways. They’re speedy too; you can bang out a mussel meal in as long as it takes to prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Ingredients at the ready. A good rule of thumb is to use 500g of mussels per person.

To prep a mussel, grab on to the overhanging beard and pull it around the shell towards the hinge. The beard should snap right off. You shouldn’t need to rinse too heavily in preparation for the pot, as most commercially farmed mussels are kept relatively tidy for sale, but if you do need to scrape off any stubborn barnacles you can use a vegetable scrubbing brush on them under a running tap.
Scrub up! Scrape off stubborn barnacles with a veggie brush.

Some people say “never eat a mussel that doesn’t open” but I’d use your senses before chucking – if it smells OK and looks right, give it a whirl. Mussels are sold live, so to check if they are fresh before cooking press the semi-shut shell between thumb and forefinger; if it continues to move like a soft-close drawer, you know it’s good to go.
The base in this dish is an exercise in building flavour using veg and time in the pan, as you’d expect for any soup or stew. But another advantage of mussels is that they cook so fast and release such a flavoursome broth that even if you _do_ use water over stock, or use alternative vegetables, you’re guaranteed a good time – in next to no time. You’ll have dinner on the table as quickly as you can dice. If you have a local grocer who makes up their own raw soup veg, you’re welcome to pick up a mix to hurry things along even further. Though, I should add that a good meditative brunoise (the French word for a fine dice) is a welcome panacea for a busy head.
Flex your mussels. Add them to the pan when the veggies are tender but not falling apart.

## Alice Zaslavsky’s mirepoix mussels – recipe
Serves **4**
- **2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil** (plus extra for drizzling)
- **25g butter**
- **1 brown onion**, finely diced
- **1 celery rib**, finely diced
- **½ fennel**, finely diced (with fennel fronds for garnish)
- **1 medium carrot**, finely diced
- **2 large kipfler potatoes**, finely diced
- **3 cloves garlic**, peeled and finely sliced
- **2 bay leaves**
- **Pinch of sugar**
- **1/2 cup white wine**
- **1 cup (250ml) good quality vegetable stock** (or water)
- **1 cup water**
- **2kg mussels**, cleaned and debearded
- **1⁄2 cup fresh parsley**, roughly chopped
- **Crusty bread**, to serve
- **1 lemon**, cut into wedges
Heat extra virgin olive oil and butter in a large, lidded heavy-based pan on medium heat until they’re foamy and friendly.
Add in the onion, celery, and fennel, pop the lid on and let the veg cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While cooking, dice the carrot and potato, then add these along with the sliced garlic, bay leaves, and sugar to the pan and cook until you can smell the garlic, about three to four minutes. You want all of the vegetables to soften and smell heavenly (if they’re starting to brown, splash in a tablespoon of water and drop the heat a little).
Once everything is sufficiently softened, take off the lid, splosh in the white wine and crank the heat to cook off the alcohol and reduce the liquid by half. Add the stock and one cup of water. Cook down the liquid on a medium-high heat until the carrots and potatoes are tender but not falling apart – about 10 more minutes.
Drain the mussels of any excess juice, crank the heat, and tip the lot into the hot pan. They will instantly release more juice to make a deliciously deep and briny broth. Place the lid back on and shake the pan occasionally for four to five minutes or until all of the mussels open.
Taste the broth for seasoning and then scatter in the fresh parsley and fennel fronds and finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Place into deep serving bowls and serve with crusty bread and lemon wedges.

hF9JKccr7kY | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/11/ollie-chessum-wales-england-rugby-union-six-nations | ## Chessum claims hostility from fans will ‘rev up’ England for Wales showdown
* Chessum recalls abuse directed at players in 2023
* ‘It is probably the best away day you can have’
England are braced for a “hostile” welcome on and off the field in Cardiff when they head across the Severn Bridge for the final Six Nations instalment this weekend. The lock Ollie Chessum has not forgotten some of the abuse directed at England’s players by Welsh fans two years ago and he suggests it will “rev up” the visitors for the game at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.
Chessum, who was named player of the match after his side’s seven‑try win against Italy on Sunday, says England are determined to finish their campaign on a high note and are fully prepared for the “special” reception they receive before Six Nations games in Cardiff, most recently in 2023.
"We were there for two days prior to the game and everywhere the bus goes abuse seems to follow," said Chessum, who is now back fit and firing after an injury-hit year.
"On the day of the game that last half-mile stretch is just packed with fans. There are a few English dotted around and you can hear them but the abuse from the Welsh fans is something that will live long in the memory. Everywhere else is out in the sticks the Principality is slap bang in the mixer and they all want to bite at you.
"One that sticks out – it wasn’t even game day – was the day before. We’re driving through, we pull up at a roundabout and a car pulls up next to us. Mum and grandma are in the front seat and there’s a kid who can’t have been more than five. His grandma winds down the back window, and the kid just gives us the middle finger.
"It’s things like that – and the rivalry – that make this fixture so special. I enjoy it. It does rev you up a little bit. For me it is probably the best away day as a player that you can have. And with the nature of the fixture, being in the final round, we are champing at the bit to get down there and win.
"England are particularly keen to build on the momentum of three consecutive home wins – against France, Scotland and Italy – regardless of the outcome of France’s home game against Scotland later the same evening. "They would love nothing more than to put a stop to our title hopes and beat us in Cardiff," Chessum said. "So, first of all, we’ve got a mammoth task on our hands to go down there and win.
Ollie Chessum was England’s player of the match against Italy.
" The nature of rugby is that one game can change everything. Beating us, I imagine, rights the wrongs of the last 15 or 16 games for them. Us not winning at the weekend would do the complete opposite for us. The magnitude of this game can’t be overlooked and that’s why, from our perspective, we’re not looking past 4.45pm on Saturday in Cardiff."
England are set to bring forward their team announcement by 24 hours and have been weighing up the best way to replace the injured Ollie Lawrence, who now faces missing the rest of the season. Retaining Elliot Daly at 13 would be the simplest solution with Chessum adamant that England want to attack Wales.
A group of MPs, meanwhile, have made renewed calls for an independent review into the Rugby Football Union’s stewardship of English rugby after the financial collapse of several top clubs and controversy over executive pay and bonuses. "It is incredibly important that the government step in and start looking at the governance of the game otherwise there will not be a game to govern," said Edward Morello, MP for West Dorset.

Home affairs minister says opposition leader’s ‘recklessness has caught up with him’
- Get our , , or
Tony Burke has claimed the opposition leader, , was “conned” by a Sydney caravan plot that police have declared fake and should “apologise” to the public.
The Australian federal police the explosives-laden caravan found earlier this year in the outer Sydney suburb of Dural was a “fake terrorism plot”. The AFP deputy commissioner, Krissy Barrett, said investigators now believed the caravan incident was concocted by criminals who wanted to cause fear for personal benefit.
After the revelation, Burke took to X to criticise Dutton, saying he “played directly into the hands of organised crime figures” before going further in comments to the media on Monday evening.
“The other person, though, who was conned in all of this and whose recklessness has caught up with him today is Peter Dutton,” Burke said.
*He made claim after claim which is now demonstrably untrue time and time again. Mr Dutton, without seeking a briefing, simply asserted a large-scale planned terrorist attack.”
Burke also called on Dutton to apologise to the public, for the “consequences” of his claims on the attack.
“Peter Dutton owes a pretty big apology to the Australian people. He made claim after claim which is now demonstrably untrue.”
Barrett said the “twisted self-serving criminality has terrorised Jewish Australians”.
“What organised crime has done to the Jewish community is reprehensible and it won’t go without consequences.”
Police told the media Strike Force Pearl officers arrested 14 people, and conducted 11 search warrants, on Monday as part of their investigations into antisemitic attacks across Sydney. Police said none of those arrested were directly linked to the caravan plot.
Earlier, cabinet minister Murray Watt said the government “welcomed” the findings.
“I think even though the police have found there wasn’t a real risk to public safety I don’t think we can underestimate the psychological harm that created for the Jewish community,” he told ABC’s Afternoon Briefing.
The shadow home affairs minister, James Paterson, also wrote on X that “organised crime concocting terrorism plots targeting the Jewish community is an extremely serious matter”.
“National security ministers & the PM should have been promptly briefed, as the NSW Premier was. The government must now explain whether they were, & if not, why not.”
The has consistently tried to push the prime minister to reveal when he was briefed on the caravan plot.
The AFP commissioner, Reece Kershaw, was asked by the opposition about the timing of briefings during . At the time he said it was inappropriate to comment as investigations were ongoing.

y10uxpk7KkT | https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/12/donald-trump-foreign-policy-china-tariffs-beijing-xi-jinping#comments | # China can live with Trump’s tariffs – his bullish foreign policy will help Beijing in the long term
By turning his back on US allies and global institutions, Trump will help Xi Jinping advance his plan for a China-centric world
I**s Donald Trump China’s worst nightmare or a dream come true? He is both, but not in equal measure. In the near-term, his tariff-led approach to trade will cause problems for Beijing. However, in just a few weeks he has done more damage to the liberal international order, the cohesion of the democratic west, and the US’s global standing, than all the combined efforts to undermine them in the entirety of the cold war. This goes beyond the wildest dreams China’s leaders could have had.
are serious enough, and Beijing cannot but see them as a harbinger of more to come. Unlike during his first term, this time Trump seems prepared to deliver the threats he makes. With China’s economy already misfiring, an intensified trade war is the last thing Beijing needs, despite the bravado of its diplomats.
But the tariffs and even a full-blown trade war amount to a short- to medium-term challenge. will order China to stand fast, so it will. The price to pay will be high. But it will be more than compensated by the gifts Trump is unwittingly presenting to Xi, particularly over the longer term.
Trump’s proposal for peace in Ukraine, apparently largely on Russian terms, and his naked ambition over Canada and Greenland are of enormous value to . He has damaged relations with US allies in North America and Europe, and indicated the US will step back from commitments to international projects such as USAid, the UN and the World Health Organization.
Why is this cherished in Beijing? It is because China has developed a global strategy based on . Its goal is to fulfil the China Dream of national rejuvenation by 2049, the centenary of the founding of the People’s Republic. Trump has made Xi’s dream more realisable.
In plain English, Xi’s strategic objective is to make China great again on Chinese terms. More specifically, it aims to “restore” China to a position of global pre-eminence, which Xi believes China regularly enjoyed when it was the most powerful, rich, innovative and civilised country at different times in history.
The route to restoration is through what Xi calls the “democratisation of international relations”. Once achieved, China will lead the world to forge the “common destiny for humankind”, guided by Xi’s suite of three global initiatives, on development, security and civilisation.
This is not about creating an alternative world order from scratch to replace the US-led liberal international order put in place at the end of the second world war. Rather, it is about transforming the existing order into one that is sino-centric with the support of the global south. It means making sure the UN system prioritises the interests and desires of the global south, represented by its leader, China, over that of the west.
Doing so represents “democratisation” as a clear majority of UN member states, and the overwhelming majority of humanity, are in the global south. While China’s narrative does have appeal in the global south, particularly among leaders of autocracies, it gets almost nowhere in rich democratic countries.
For eight decades the democracies had mostly stood by the US despite occasional major quarrels, such as the Suez Crisis in 1956 or the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The solidarity of the democratic west helped it win the cold war and reshape the world afterwards. Chinese diplomatic efforts to get European countries to split with the US after Trump first put forth his Ukraine plan had no effect.
For China to successfully transform the UN system it must show that the existing international system is so broken that it needs reconstruction based on a better blueprint. For all its efforts in the global south, including the massive investment of resources under the , China has only made limited headway.
By humiliatingly intimidating Ukraine into peace talks, dismissively pushing European nations around and largely accepting Russia’s terms for ending the war, Trump has fundamentally changed US relations with its allies. He has delivered what Chinese diplomacy cannot achieve.
Trump has made the US’s Nato allies realise they cannot rely on it. He posed an existential threat to America’s closest ally, Canada, and challenged the sovereign rights of another Nato ally, Denmark. It demonstrated to the world that as the “shining house on the hill” the US now radiates not brightness, hope and a shining example, but darkness driven by narrow self-interest.
Above all, Trump has enabled China to accuse the US of hypocrisy. Beijing can now assert that the US has revealed its true nature, and will use the liberal international order to put America first. It is therefore an international order that is unfit for the 21st century, one that requires fundamental changes. This fits Xi’s global strategy to a T.
While Xi’s efforts to persuade the global south to embrace China’s push to transform how the UN system works had been making only slow progress, they have now been turbocharged by Trump. With the poorest and weakest in the global south starting to suffer from the cutting off of US humanitarian aid, China’s call to democratise international relations gains traction by the day. No one has made the Chinese case better than Trump.
In putting America first, Trump has done more than Xi has ever managed to make China great again. Xi’s China Dream has not yet come true, but with Trump’s help, it has made a great leap forward.

**LOUISVILLE, Ky. —** Parked cars were struck and a suspect vehicle bursts into flames, with the alleged suspects running away. All of this was caught on camera in the Highlands.
“My car was parked on the street, but someone hit and ran it while I was at my friend's place, so that's great,” said Claire Bolger.
In disbelief, Bolger took a video of her car pushed up on the sidewalk in front of the Highland Station Apartments after a car slammed into it and other cars parked along East Broadway just after 1 a.m. on Monday.
“I'm just like, wow, like, this is a joke. That car I just bought from my grandma because she can't drive anymore,” said Bolger.
Another video from a neighbor also shows the moments after the crash where you can see the suspect vehicle and a person. Both left the scene, but the car did not make it far.
“I ran over and I saw the boys run off, and then the car went ‘bang, bang’ and blew up and it was on fire,” said Bolger.
Flames shot from the red Subaru Outback as Bolger and neighbors watched and recorded in shock.
Police say the suspects abandoned the car in an alley a block over on Rubel Avenue and Rogers Street. Witnesses tell WLKY that several people in the car wore ski masks and took off running.
“I just feel like that's not behavior that you should get away with,” said Bolger. “They might not be caught right now, but I believe they'll be caught eventually.”
One day later, there is crash debris, including a car bumper and glass, left behind, and Bolger is left with a car that is so badly damaged from the wreck, it’s not drivable.
“I just stared at my car and I mean, I was angry,” she said.
While still angry and shocked by this unexpected situation, Bolger is also relieved that it was not worse.
“I didn't think it would happen to me, but it is what it is,” she said. “Cars are replaceable. Humans aren't.”
LMPD is still investigating whether the suspect vehicle was stolen or not. But, the police report says it's registered to a local car dealership.

A man was injured in a shooting outside Chicago O'Hare Airport near the arrival area of Terminal 2 during a fight, police said.
According to Chicago Police, officers responded to the terminal just before 1 a.m. for reports of a fight between multiple people.
Video posted to social media showed fists flying among the group. Then, multiple shots rang out.
Police said a 25-year-old man was shot twice in his lower body. It all went down outside the baggage claim at the otherwise quiet terminal.
More cellphone video shows what looks like a man on the ground.
Anthony Riccio, a former Chicago Police first deputy superintendent who now serves as director of public safety for Monterey Security, said the shooting was targeted.
"The unsecured area is vulnerable to things like this, and that's typically where you'll see the biggest police presence," Riccio said.
Riccio said such crime is rare for a place like O'Hare — an airport that saw around 44 million passenger departures in 2024 and is on track for the same in 2025.
"Midnight at the airport, it's pretty much a ghost town, to be honest. There's very little foot traffic. There's very few incoming or outgoing flights. Typically as a result of that, police resources are lower," Riccio said. "You'll see more police during the day and in the afternoon — heavy travel times."
Terminal 2 serves JetBlue and some United and United Express flights, and is the main entry point for Air Canada and Alaska Airlines.
"I guess you think of an airport as a pretty secure area," one traveler said.
"Get me back to Canada," another said.
Video from the scene taken later shows a bullet hole in a terminal window with shattered glass on the street. At least four hours afterward, there was still a large police response on the lower level of Terminal 2. Construction crews worked to board up windows damaged by gunfire.
The arrival area reopened around 5:15 a.m.
Meanwhile, police did take one person in for questioning by Grand Central Area detectives. But no charges had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.

## Fox News Flash
### White House press secretary joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Trump's address to Congress, pause of Ukraine aid
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted Tuesday to Democrats reportedly planning protests and disruptions to President Donald Trump's primetime address to Congress. Leavitt dismissed the claims, stating Democrats should be thinking about "standing up in applause" for some of what Trump will highlight to the American people.
### KAROLINE LEAVITT: _I think, frankly, the Democrats should think about if they should stand up in applause for some of the things President Trump will be talking about. He's bringing common sense back to this country. Look at Democrats: yesterday, 45_ _keeping men out of women's sports. How can you be against that when 80% of the country is for it?_
The White House press secretary also discussed Trump and the possibility of repairing the relationship as the fallout from the explosive meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues.

Many far-left Democrats are advocating for major disruptions to Trump's address, ranging from outright walkouts to using noisemakers to Axios reported Tuesday. Some of the more moderate ideas floated reportedly include carrying egg cartons to highlight costs, carrying protest signs, and coordinating outfits.
Democratic leaders reportedly encouraged members in closed-door meetings this week to keep their protests civil, however, with many arguing that major outbursts would only help Trump.
More traditional protest plans include the Democratic Women's Caucus encouraging members to wear pink, as well as women with the Congressional Black Caucus discussing plans to wear black. Other members have mulled wearing blue and yellow to show solidarity with Ukraine.

Protests at State of the Union speeches and other major presidential events have grown more common and severe in recent years. While Trump's Tuesday address is not technically a State of the Union address, it follows essentially the same format.
White House officials exclusively told Fox News Digital that , themed "The Renewal of the American Dream," will feature four main sections: accomplishments from Trump's second term thus far at home and abroad; what the Trump administration has done for the economy; the president's renewed push for Congress to pass additional funding for border security; and the president's plans for peace around the globe.
The president is scheduled to speak before all on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST.
Trump’s joint address "will be must-see TV," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.

**5 March 2025**
*Peter Hoskins*
*Business reporter, BBC News*
## US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said President Donald Trump is considering a deal that would offer exemptions from tariffs on Canada and Mexico, including potentially for carmakers.
The possibility of a rollback, which he said could be announced on Wednesday, came as many US businesses raised concerns about Trump's decision to hit US imports from its two closest trade partners with a 25% import tax.
After two days of declines, the main US stock indexes were trading slightly higher early on Wednesday.
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly told the BBC's Newsnight on Tuesday that her office had not been contacted about any plans around reducing tariffs.
US officials "can say many things" but "the only one that really takes a decision is President Trump," Joly said.
The US president used a large part of his , but he did not say whether he planned to cut the tariffs that came into effect this week.
Canada and Mexico announced retaliatory import levies on the US after Washington's 25% tariffs on its two neighbours came into effect on Tuesday.
Goods worth billions cross the borders of the US, Canada and Mexico each day and their economies are deeply integrated.
Trump says he wants to protect American industry and boost manufacturing, but many economists warn such tariffs could lead to prices rising for consumers in the US.
On Wednesday, Lutnick said tariffs would be in place, but suggested some goods could be "left out".
"There are going to be tariffs - let's be clear - but what he's thinking about is which sections of the market that maybe he'll consider giving them relief until we get to, of course, April 2," Lutnick told Bloomberg on Wednesday.
"It will be 25% but there will be some categories left out - it could well be autos. It could be others as well," he added.
A day earlier on Fox News, Lutnick had raised the possibility of a compromise and reduction of tariffs for Mexico and Canada, saying Trump was weighing offers to meet his allies "in the middle".
Trump has said he would move ahead on 2 April with plans for reciprocal tariffs on other countries around the world that he sees as treating the US unfairly.
## Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
, calling it a "very dumb thing to do" and vowed to conduct a "relentless fight" to protect its economy.
Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs on US exports and warned that a trade war would be costly for both countries.
But Trump pushed even further in a post on his Truth Social platform, saying: "Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!"
Trudeau accused the US president of planning "a total collapse of the Canadian economy because that will make it easier to annex us".
"That is never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state," he told reporters.
Washington also ramped up its trade war with Beijing on Tuesday as a new 10% levy on Chinese imports that came into effect - which adds to existing levies from Trump's first term and those announced last month.
"China will fight to the bitter end of any trade war," a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said after their country announced tit-for-tat tariffs on agricultural imports from the US.

PWeJUnoJ-em | https://www.foxnews.com/health/8-smart-ways-boost-your-immune-system-some-may-surprise | # Physician offers 8 simple steps to bolster a strong immune system — some may surprise you
By
Published March 7, 2025 4:30am EST
Although winter is coming to a close, is still threatening our immune systems.
Staying healthy is a marriage of several simple practices, according to Dr. Roger Seheult, a critical care physician, pulmonologist and associate clinical professor at the University of California and Loma Linda University schools of medicine.
Following an appearance on the Huberman Lab podcast, hosted by neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman, Seheult joined Fox News Digital for an on-camera interview to discuss how to boost the immune system.
Seheult offered an acronym to remember a few methods – "NEWSTART" – which is copyrighted by Weimar University in California.
Dr. Roger Seheult shared eight things people can do to avoid getting sick during cold and flu season. (iStock)
" is the diet that gives you the microbiome gut flora, which is very important," he said. "It also gives you fiber … and the nutrients and vitamins that are very important."
## NEWSTART is not only beneficial for not getting the flu this season, but it’s exactly the same answer for how to live a long and healthy life, how to live without disease and chronic disease.
## NEWSTART is not only beneficial for not getting the flu this season, but it’s exactly the same answer for how to live a long and healthy life, how to live without disease and chronic disease.
### N – Nutrition
You are what you eat, experts say — and what you eat can dictate how you feel.
Based on research, Seheult recommends following a plant-based diet low in to ensure a healthy gut and proper intake of vitamins and nutrients.

" is the diet that gives you the microbiome gut flora, which is very important," he said. "It also gives you fiber … and the nutrients and vitamins that are very important."
### E – Exercise
Practicing any kind of movement on a regular basis can help keep you healthy, according to Seheult.
Exercise does not have to include and "being buff" in a gym, but simply introducing movement into your routine, the expert said.
"When someone is a couch potato, as soon as they start doing exercise, they get immediate benefits," he noted.
"Once they start to go into athletic-level competition exercise, they're actually increasing the level of inflammation."
Exercise does not have to be strenuous; it can include a walk or light jog, the expert said. (iStock)
The expert referenced a study that found people who practiced moderate exercise had the "best changes in terms of inflammatory markers."
Moderate exercise can include daily activities like gardening, jogging or walking.
"Once someone is getting the flu or COVID-19, they often need to isolate, stay home for a few days," he said.
Eighty percent of infections are transmitted by airborne viruses, he noted.
"Put on a mask when you're talking to people," he said.
Seheult also referenced a study from Japan that analyzed the "aromatic compounds" given off by trees called phytoncides, which can have healing benefits for the body.
> "Pick a day of the week, take a day off, get some rest and actually get out there into nature."
"Take a long walk into the forest or the mountains … or just go for a swim," he noted.
Seheult discussed the benefits of hydrotherapy in his episode of the Huberman Lab podcast. (iStock)
"Plenty of evidence shows that viruses do not do well in environments with high temperatures, and that our immune system signals the innate immune system using fever," he said.
### S – Sunlight
Getting exposure to sunlight is as simple as stepping outside.
Just 15 to 20 minutes of light exposure per day can , according to Seheult.
Not only does sunlight help regulate sleep and boost mood, research has shown that certain spectra of light from the sun can have "dramatic effects" on the body's metabolism.
Sunlight exposure can provide lasting benefits for the body, according to Seheult. (iStock)
"Everyone can benefit from sunlight exposure," he said.
"Light can kick off the process of inflammation in the body," he said.
"Light exposure is very important for the body's immune system," he said. "Light can have a lot of healing effects on the body."
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can help lower the risks of many diseases, he said.
Seheult also referenced research that found that sunlight exposure can reduce the production of cortisol, which is a stress hormone.
> "When you're in a community of faith, a community of belief — with people you can depend on, people who support you — and you trust in a higher power that's guiding you, this can also dramatically reduce cortisol."

### A – Air
Getting out into the is "really important" for the body, Seheult said.
In addition to spending time outdoors, the doctor recommends frequently opening the windows in your home to ensure carbon dioxide levels are low.

Seheult also referenced research that found that sunlight exposure can reduce the production of cortisol, which is a stress hormone.
### R – Rest
As a sleep physician, Seheult emphasized the importance of proper rest, recommending seven to eight hours of sleep per night.
For the most consistent and uninterrupted sleep, the lights should be turned off at the same time each night, around 9 p.m., he advised.
Rest can also mean taking time off from responsibilities and allowing yourself to disconnect, whether it’s just for a day or a week away.
"You can sort of imagine that you're swimming under the ocean and every once in a while you have to stop," he said. "Come up, take a breath, look around, see where you're going … and then go back down for another six days."
Making time for periods of rest can reduce stress and cortisol levels, Seheult noted. (iStock)
"People who do that and take a break, disconnect from email, disconnect from work, disconnect from all those things, get together with family, friends – this is really beneficial for your immune system," he went on. "It reduces stress and cortisol levels."
### T – Trust
Seheult concluded that having faith or or a supportive community can help boost health from within.
"When you're in a community of faith, a community of belief — with people you can depend on, people who support you — and you trust in a higher power that's guiding you, this can also dramatically reduce cortisol."

FT4rvZqGkWa | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/11/texas-david-wood-execution-blocked | # Texas court blocks execution of David Wood two days before scheduled killing
Ruling made Tuesday after lawyers share new evidence and plead for DNA testing they say could prove innocence
A appeals court has blocked the execution of David Wood just two days before he was set to be killed by lethal injection, a major win for the 67-year-old who has for decades maintained his innocence.
The Texas court of criminal appeals, the state’s highest criminal court, issued a brief ruling on Tuesday afternoon pausing the killing of Wood, whose lawyers presented new evidence supporting his claims of wrongful conviction and pleaded for DNA testing they say could prove his innocence.
“I could never quit fighting,” Wood told the Guardian on Tuesday before the ruling, in an interview conducted through his attorney. “This case is built on coercion, corruption and lies. Not a shred of my DNA connects me to any of these cases.”
For more than a decade, his lawyers have fought for more DNA tests, but the requests have been by judges. Greg Wiercioch, Wood’s longtime lawyer, said 150 pieces of evidence remained untested, telling the Guardian in an interview on Monday: “It’s incomprehensible why the state is opposing additional testing … They shut it down I think because they’re afraid of what they’ll find out. We have DNA testing, the most powerful crime-fighting tool ever developed, and we’re not using it.”
With a lack of forensic proof, the case has rested largely on circumstantial evidence, and there have been growing doubts about the prosecution. In a 1990 memo obtained by Wood’s lawyers, prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence to indict Wood. The El Paso county district attorney’s office subsequently crucial testimony of two jailhouse informants, Randy Wells and James Sweeney.
Sweeney received a $13,000 reward for his testimony and Wells had a capital murder charge dismissed. There has been widespread scrutiny over this kind of testimony, with advocates identifying involving jailhouse informants where defendants were later exonerated.
In a major development for Wood, a man named to cast serious doubts about the informants. In a sworn declaration, Hall said he spent time with Wood and the two informants in jail and recounted how detectives pressured him, Wells and Sweeney to assert that Wood had confessed. Detectives showed them files about the murders and said: “We can help you, if you can help us,” suggesting they’d assist Hall in getting off parole, according to Hall. The three men also got special treatment, including free snacks, cigarettes and free phone calls, he said.
Hall said he refused to lie for prosecutors: “I wasn’t going to railroad David Wood.” Wood had always maintained his innocence, Hall said. In 1991, Hall also wrote to prosecutors, saying Sweeney and Wells had fabricated their stories about Wood’s confession. Hall spent 30 years on parole, and was released last year, at which point he decided to come forward, no longer fearing authorities would revoke his parole.
Hall’s testimony was a “bombshell”, said Wiercioch. “Detectives were literally handing their investigative files over to all three of these guys to review before they were coached in preparation for their testimony … This is what we had suspected all along but had no hard and fast proof of.”
A lead detective in Wood’s case recently refuted that police shared files with informants, telling the Marshall Project the was “preposterous” and insisting the case was strong without Sweeney and Wells. He pointed to other witnesses who had allegedly seen Wood with the victims and evidence suggesting fibers from Wood’s vacuum cleaner were similar to ones found at a crime scene – testimony Wood’s lawyers say was misleading.
In recent filings, Wood’s lawyers have also alleged that the truck Wood purportedly used to carry out the murders was in a salvage yard when three victims went missing and that last year, a woman came forward saying that she believed her late father, convicted of a different murder, may have been responsible for the desert killings.
The stay order issued Tuesday did not rule on any specific claims, but effectively paused the execution to give the state court more time to review Wood’s legal arguments, which include claims his conviction relied on false testimony, the state suppressed evidence and he was subject to ineffective trial counsel.
In a parallel federal process, a US appeals court also delivered Wood a favorable ruling on Tuesday, granting his attorneys another opportunity to make arguments. That court seized on Wood’s arguments that a woman who testified that Wood had raped her admitted to someone else that the assailant had been a different man. Withheld testimony casting doubt on this woman’s claims “would have destroyed the state’s case so thoroughly that every reasonable juror would have had a reasonable doubt about Wood’s guilt”, the court said.

The Texas attorney general’s office has said in court that the ongoing motions to delay the execution were “meritless”, arguing in a recent filing that “convicted individuals have no substantive constitutional right to postconviction DNA testing” and “the public’s interest in enforcing its valid criminal judgment outweighs Wood’s request for even further delay”.
The office did not respond to inquiries on Tuesday.
Wiercioch, a University of Wisconsin law professor, said Wood had been consistent in his assertions in the 16 years he has represented him, with new evidence repeatedly substantiating his claims: “I’ve never been more firmly convinced of someone’s innocence than I am of David Wood’s.”
In the interview before the ruling, Wood said: “I’ve been in the pits of despair, the pits of hell, the pits of anger, but I will never give up.” He said he had put his faith in God as his execution date neared, adding: “My greatest concern is my family, who have had to suffer along with me … I want a fair chance at justice. I want people to know what really happened.”
Marcia Fulton, the mother of one of the teenage victims, Desiree Wheatley, that she had met with Wood’s lawyers, listened to their pleas for more DNA testing and didn’t “fault them for doing their job”, but ultimately remained convinced of Wood’s guilt.
The case has impacted victims’ families for decades, including with an original scheduled execution date in 2009 that was stopped last minute.
“I think I’ll take a sigh and then my first full breath in 37 years,” Fulton recently . “I’m 72, but I’m not going anywhere until he’s gone.”
On Tuesday, a federal judge also issued a ruling slated for next week, which would have been its first using nitrogen gas and the first killing in the state in 15 years.
In the last year, as several states have continued to aggressively pursue capital punishment, there has been intensifying outrage surrounding wrongful conviction cases. In South Carolina, Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah, 46, was days after a key witness for prosecutors . And Missouri , 55, despite objections from prosecutors who fought to overturn his conviction and backed his innocence claims.

LAWRENCE — A man is dead in Lawrence after what police said was an alleged dispute over loud music early Tuesday morning.
According to the Lawrence Police Department, around 5:30 a.m., officers responded to reports of gunfire and a person shot in the 9300 block of Kingsboro Court.
Upon arrival, officers located a male suffering a single gunshot wound and lying in the street.
The Lawrence Fire Department responded and provided immediate aid and transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

tD8cS-39RgQ | https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/13/uefa-to-ask-for-review-of-double-touch-rule-on-penalties-after-alvarez-incident | # Uefa to ask for review of double touch rule on penalties after Alvarez incident
* Atlético Madrid player denied in shooutout against Real
* Uefa to enter discussions with Fifa and Ifab over rule
According to the law-making International Football Association Board (Ifab), if the kicker “commits an offence, their kick is recorded as missed” during a shootout. Under the laws relating to penalty kicks in regulation time the taker commits an offence if their touch makes the ball “clearly” move and they play it again before it has touched another player.
Uefa said the decision to overturn was a marginal call and that it hoped to speak to Fifa and Ifab.
“Atlético de Madrid enquired with Uefa over the incident, which led to the disallowance of the kick from the penalty mark taken by Julián Alvarez at the end of yesterday’s Uefa match against Real Madrid,” Uefa said.
“Although minimal, the player made contact with the ball using his standing foot before kicking it, as shown in . Under the current rule, the VAR had to call the referee signalling that the goal should be disallowed.
“Uefa will enter discussions with Fifa and Ifab to determine whether the rule should be reviewed in cases where a double touch is clearly unintentional.”
Atlético have lost against their city rivals in each of their six encounters in European competition. Madrid will contest their 12th quarter-final in the past 15 seasons when they face Arsenal next month, with the first leg at the Emirates Stadium on 8 April and the return on 16 April.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“.” Ursula von der Leyen was not holding back. This is a world turned upside down, changed beyond recognition. Leaders across Europe are echoing the alarm sent out by the European Commission president, and rippling across the continent, Canada and elsewhere: that we face a “clear and present danger on a scale that none of us has seen in our adult lifetime”. She has proposed a plan that would offer €800bn (£660bn) for immediate rearming, with a European sky shield to protect Ukraine.
The hooligan Russian asset in the White House has changed everything so profoundly that it is hard to keep track. The US, whose coat-tails we clung to, whose culture we revelled in, whose cleverness dazzled and stupidity confounded, is now the enemy. The shock feels viscerally personal because American culture is deep in our veins at all ages, from Sesame Street to Marvel, from Philip Roth to Philip Glass, the Oscars to Silicon Valley, like it or not. In Iraq and Afghanistan, we obediently followed their blunders, and 642 British soldiers died, as Keir Starmer in parliament. Our glamorous friend has turned fiend. How do we cauterise that off us? Or reconfigure the map of the world in terms of friends and foes?
Look at the remarkable response of Germany’s chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Merz, lifetime financial conservative and fiscal dogmatist, as he grasps the severity of the times: he will reverse all his previous fiscal policies and his nation’s usual dread over borrowing, breaking their “basic law” with a huge to rearm. This amounts to “one of the most historic paradigm shifts in German postwar history”, . German borrowing costs shot up, but so have predictions of German growth from a , with investors sending industrial stocks soaring. But note this: in his fiscal sea change, rearming will not be accompanied by any cuts to German social spending.
Former UK ambassadors to Washington ruminated over this “seismic” shift, which has shaken every norm from their Foreign Office days. “This is not a blip in the relationship, something fundamental is going on,” one old knight , while another cautioned that the US giving up on Europe in favour of Russia was likely a “current reality”. Sir David Manning pinpointed Britain’s , the downside of the so-called special relationship: as Europe galvanises to rearm, unlike our continental neighbours, we depend on the US for our defence.
With every new shock wave, Britain feels this trauma in its marrow. Yet there is hesitancy in government about addressing the nation with a call to arms, as French , warning: “the innocence of these 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall is over.”

German borrowing costs shot up, but so have predictions of German growth from a , with investors sending industrial stocks soaring. But note this: in his fiscal sea change, rearming will not be accompanied by any cuts to German social spending.
What about Britain? Our government has announced no change to fiscal policy. Living within our self-imposed straitjacket, our rearming will be paid for , benefits and most departments, as Rachel Reeves this week sends her plans to the Office for Budget Responsibility to prove the books are balanced. Yet the promises the government has made are impossible to keep: no more borrowing, no more tax rises and no return to austerity. These are terrible choices – the aid cut already breaks a manifesto pledge – destroying trust whichever way Labour turns. But which is the least bad?
A copy of of John Maynard Keynes hangs by my desk, a reminder to reach for his 1940 prescription How to Pay for the War, a book that spelled out the necessary financial sacrifices of the time. Emergency action needed then was draconian, rapidly increasing production while drastically reducing consumption, introducing rationing and diverting everything to the war effort. In comparison, what’s needed in this new emergency is a pinprick, to raise the 3% of GDP for defence spending that . Take just this one measure: in a disgraceful (and failed) act of crude election bribery, 4p off employees’ national insurance. Restoring that would cover the cost of this extra defence spending alone, says Ben Zaranko of the Institute for Fiscal Studies; so would 2p more on income tax for all.
Labour’s Treasury team winches at the very thought of any further tax rises, after the walloping Reeves got for the £40bn tax rise in . They are jumpy: remember Liz Truss’s mini-budget, maxi-catastrophe, they say. Look how even small tax changes such as the farmers’ inheritance tax can create a storm; some policies make absolute sense in economic and fairness terms, but crash politically. Besides, tax rises that cut people’s spending money risk stunting growth, they say – but then so do cuts to public spending. Borrow more? That adds to the mammoth we spend servicing existing debt, they say. But we are now on the hunt for the least-worst option – and Britain still pays less tax than similar countries.
Starmer has risen to the needs of the hour. But he has yet to address his citizens on what rearming means, and what it requires of them. We like to think of ourselves as warlike, and at the ready. We are good at displays of national pride and national parades, with a four-day celebration planned for the in May. But tax and financial sacrifice were essential parts of that victory. The alternative – miserable cuts to benefits for the weakest, and stripping yet more from threadbare stricken public services – is the worst of all the bad options. In our finest hour, Britain shed its traditional tax-phobia. If ever there was a moment to stiffen the sinews and summon up the taxes, it is now: for the defence of the realm.

QeGGT2_xyzK | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/mar/01/labour-reform-deprived-areas | # Labour must target deprived areas or lose out to Reform, says former minister
Keir Starmer’s government must strictly target the delivery of its core “missions” at areas of maximum deprivation or lose huge numbers of votes to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, an independent commission led by a former Labour cabinet minister will suggest this week.
The Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods (ICON), chaired by peer Hilary Armstrong, a former party chief whip and housing minister, will say the government risks “wasting billions of pounds in higher public spending while failing to transform the places that need it most” unless it adopts the targeted approach.
The report identifies more than 600 “mission critical” neighbourhoods in England that are most in need of investment and are critically short of “social infrastructure” and the “physical and community facilities that bring people together to build meaningful relationships”.
Eight of the 10 parliamentary constituencies cited by the report as most in need of investment are in the Midlands or the north of England. Many are “around cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Sunderland and Newcastle – as well other post-industrial regions like the West Midlands (including Birmingham)”, it says.
A briefing document to government ministers, based on the report’s findings and seen by The Observer, says that even since the general election last summer there is evidence that Reform has deepened its support in these most deprived areas.
The note, written ahead of the report’s publication on Wednesday, says: “The number of highly disadvantaged neighbourhoods based in seats demonstrating high support for Reform (30%-40% vote share) has increased significantly since the election, from just 4.8% of these neighbourhoods to 26.2%. The number of those based in ‘Reform stronghold’ areas (those polling above 40%) has also risen from 1.4% to 4.8%. All existing Reform MPs have some of the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods in their seats.”
Polling carried out for the commission, which will also be published on Wednesday, shows support for the Reform party is driven by voter concerns about issues such as antisocial behaviour, crime and litter on the streets.

The commission identified the UK’s areas most in need by analysing local attitudes to crime, health, energy, jobs and educational achievement, alongside publicly available data. As part of the in-depth investigation it used that data to compile an index of areas that score poorly when measured against the government’s five “missions”.
The accompanying briefing adds: “Constituencies containing neighbourhoods that are furthest behind on the government’s missions tend to be those that are demonstrating greater support for Reform.”
Starmer’s government set out the missions ahead of July’s general election to focus minds on Labour’s policy offering. The missions promised to deliver safer streets, economic growth, green energy, better education and NHS reform.
The report argues that a “trickledown” approach – the idea that the most in need will benefit over time from a policy delivered nationally rather than in a more targeted way – is destined to fail.
The polling, carried out by Public First, found that “highest need” neighbourhoods were more concerned about litter (53%), antisocial behaviour (49%) and illegal drugs (48%) than “lowest need” neighbourhoods.
The report will urge ministers to “transform places street by street, estate by estate” through public investment in “social infrastructure” and by supporting economic development. Without focusing support on areas most in need it risks “wasting billions of pounds in higher public spending while failing to transform the places that need it most”.
ICON was launched in September 2024 to address the challenges faced in England’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
The government is understood to be looking closely at its work and ministers are meeting regularly with the commission. Others on the commission include the mayor of the North East, Kim McGuinness, and former government advisor Dr David Halpern.
Last month YouGov published the first national opinion poll to suggest that had overtaken Labour, placing it on 25%, one point ahead of Labour and four ahead of the Conservatives.

**3 days ago**
BBC Urdu
Reporting from Quetta
**Kelly Ng**
Reporting from Singapore
## Passengers who were freed from a train seized by armed militants have spoken of "doomsday scenes" that unfolded on board the Jaffar Express in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
"We held our breath throughout the firing, not knowing what would happen next," Ishaq Noor, who was one of those on board, told the BBC.
He was one of more than 400 passengers travelling from Quetta to Peshawar on Tuesday when the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) attacked and took a number hostage. The train driver was among several reported injured.
Military sources claim 155 passengers have been freed and 27 militants killed. There is no independent confirmation of those figures. Rescue operations are continuing.
Security forces say they have deployed hundreds of troops to rescue the remaining passengers. Authorities have also deployed helicopters and special forces personnel.
The BLA has warned of "severe consequences" if an attempt is made to rescue hostages.
At least 100 of those on the train were members of the security forces, officials have said. It unclear how many passengers are still being held hostage - more than a dozen of those freed were taken to hospital for treatment.
Reports quoting security officials say some of the militants may have left the train, taking an unknown number of passengers with them into the surrounding mountainous area.
On Wednesday, the BBC saw dozens of wooden coffins being loaded at Quetta railway station. A railway official said they were empty and being transported to collect any possible casualties.
## Some passengers who managed to flee walked for nearly four hours to the next railway station
Muhammad Ashraf, who was travelling from Quetta to Lahore to visit family, was among a group of passengers who managed to disembark the train late on Tuesday.
"There was a lot of fear among the passengers. It was a scene of doomsday," he said.
The group then walked for nearly four hours to the next railway station. Several of the men carried the weaker passengers on their shoulders.
"We reached the station with great difficulty, because we were tired and there were children and women with us," he said.
Mr Noor, who was travelling with his wife and two children, said the initial explosion on the train was "so intense" that one of his children fell from the seat.
He and his wife each tried to shield one child amidst the gunfire.
"If a bullet comes our way, it will hit us and not the children," he said.
## 'My mother doesn't know if she's married or a widow'
**Mushtaq Muhammad**
Who was in the train's third carriage, recalled passengers stricken with panic.
"The attackers were talking to each other in Balochi, and their leader repeatedly told them to 'keep an eye' particularly on the security personnel to make sure that do not lose them," he said.
The attackers started to release some Balochistan residents, as well as women, children and elderly passengers, on Tuesday evening, Mr Ishaq said, adding that he was let go when he told them he was a resident of Turbat city in Balochistan, and they saw that he had children and women with him.
Meanwhile, relatives of the train's driver, Amjad Yasin, are anxiously awaiting news after hearing he was injured. He'd been a train driver for 24 years and survived when explosives targeted another train he was driving about eight years ago, they say.
"For the past couple of weeks, we were under severe stress that something is about to happen as there was an air of fear," his brother Amir told the BBC in Quetta.
The BLA has waged and has launched numerous deadly attacks, often targeting police stations, railway lines and highways.
## Counter-insurgency operations in impoverished Balochistan
Counter-insurgency operations in impoverished Balochistan by Pakistan's army and security forces have reportedly seen thousands of people disappear without trace since the early 2000s. The , allegations they deny.
Pakistani authorities - as well as several Western countries, including the UK and US - have designated the group a terrorist organisation.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said it is "gravely concerned" by the train hijack.
"We strongly urge all relevant stakeholders to forge an urgent rights-based, pro-people consensus on the issues faced by citizens in Balochistan and to find a peaceful, political solution," it said in .
The United Nations' Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has "strongly condemned" the train siege and also called for the immediate release of remaining passengers.

bfHL9QJO6gZ | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/10/romania-pro-russia-presidential-candidate-calin-georgescu-to-fight-election-ban | Romania’s pro-Russia presidential candidate to fight election ban
===============================================================
Cǎlin Georgescu to contest decision to bar him from election rerun in May after claims of Russian meddling
Romania’s far-right presidential frontrunner, Cǎlin Georgescu, has said he will appeal against a decision to bar him from standing in a rerun of the presidential election, calling it “a direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide”.
Georgescu, a Moscow-friendly populist, surged from almost nowhere to win the first round of the country’s presidential election last year, but the by Romania’s top court because of evidence of suspected Russian interference.
The decision drew sharp criticism from Washington, with the US presidential adviser Elon Musk posting on Sunday: “This is crazy!” The billionaire returned to the subject on Monday, asking: “How can a judge end democracy in Romania?”
The US vice-president, , had previously said the annulment of the first-round vote showed Romania did not share American values. Georgescu, 62, a former government official, is leading in the polls and was projected to win about 40% of votes in May.
Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister and leader of the far-right Lega party, called the bureau’s decision a “Soviet-style Euro-coup”, while Georgescu said it was “just the beginning … is now a dictatorship. Romania is under tyranny!”
In a video on Facebook, Georgescu added: “We go all the way for the same values: peace, democracy, freedom.” He urged his supporters, who clashed with police on Sunday night, to refrain from violent protests.
Scores of Georgescu voters rallied in Bucharest to express their anger, many waving Romanian flags and chanting “Thieves!” and “the last resort is another revolution!” Some threw broken paving stones at riot police.
The constitutional court is expected to rule on Georgescu’s appeal on Wednesday but is thought unlikely to find in his favour. It has previously barred another far-right candidate, arguing that her anti-EU, pro-Russian views made her unfit for office.
Georgescu has lauded Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, as “a man who loves his country” and praised Romania’s 1930s fascist leaders. The promotion of fascist leaders and Nazi, racist or xenophobic symbols is banned under Romanian law.
If the court upholds the election bureau’s decision, three ultranationalist parties that backed Georgescu’s candidacy and have 35% of the seats in Romania’s parliament risk not being on the ballot for the rerun, opening the way for another candidate.

George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), could put his name forward. He described the election bureau’s decision as “a new episode … in a coup d’état ” and a “black page in our fragile democracy”.

sXEDADlBlN4 | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/11/republicans-bill-government-shutdown | House Republicans pass Trump-backed bill to avoid shutdown and send it to the Senate
====================================================================================
House Republicans pulled off a near party-line vote on Tuesday to pass their controversial funding bill to curb the looming government shutdown, shipping it off to the Senate, where it still will face an uphill battle to pass.
The Trump-backed bill passed 217 to 213, with the Kentucky representative Thomas Massie casting the sole Republican “no” vote, joining almost all House Democrats who had come out hard against it for slashing social programs and granting the broader federal powers. The Democrat Jared Golden of Maine joined Republicans in backing the measure.
The vice-president, JD Vance, in a Tuesday huddle with Republicans on the Hill said the blame would fall squarely on the Republicans should they fail to pass the measure, .
The House heads to recess later this week, leaving lawmakers in the Senate with a take-it-or-leave it scenario.
The bill’s priorities align closely with Trump’s agenda, particularly its provisions that could grant the administration broader authority to redirect funds between programs – a power fear could allow significant reshaping of federal priorities without congressional approval.
House Republicans were rushing to pass the bill before Thursday, when they would then hand the measure off to the Senate before heading home for a week-and-a-half long recess.
Still, the Senate presents another hurdle, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority but need 60 votes to pass the legislation. At least eight Democratic senators would need to cross party lines for the bill to advance, assuming all Republican senators except Rand Paul, from Kentucky, who is expected to oppose it, vote in favor.
That’s a hard sell for the Democrats, who are facing intense pressure from within their party and constituency to resist Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk’s unilateral cuts to federal agencies, which have eliminated more than 100,000 jobs.
And unlike their House counterparts, Senate Democrats appear divided on the measure. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania indicated potential support, stating that a shutdown would be “chaos” and that he would “never vote for chaos.”
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon also said he was reluctant to vote against it, saying: “Shutdowns are a bad idea. I’m not a shutdown guy.”
However, other Democratic senators, including Michigan’s Elissa Slotkin, are not supporting the bill and are demanding assurances that “the money is spent the way Congress intends” before lending their support.

U35pg52XnhF | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/06/shitsui-hakoishi-worlds-oldest-female-barber-nakagawa-japan | # ‘I’m truly happy’: 108-year-old takes record for world’s oldest female barber
A 108-year-old Japanese woman has been named the world’s oldest female barber, nine decades after she first started cutting hair professionally.
Shitsui Hakoishi, who received official recognition from Guinness World Records this week, said she had no plans to stop working at her salon in the town of Nakagawa, after earning her licence in 1936.
Dressed in her work clothes, Hakoishi told reporters: “I’m truly overwhelmed by happiness. I’m grateful to everyone in the community.”
After thanking her parents for her formidable genes, she added: “I will never forget this.”
Hakoishi was born on 10 November 1916, as the fourth of five children in a farming family in Nakagawa, then a village known as Ouchi.
Aged just 14, she moved to Tokyo alone and found work as an apprentice barber, secretly practising her techniques late into the night while her colleagues went out socialising.
“I wanted to catch up with, and surpass, my senior apprentices as quickly as possible, so I worked very hard and did my best,” she told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper earlier this year.
Hakoishi was then granted her barber’s licence in 1936, shortly before her 20th birthday, and opened her own business with her husband, Jiro, three years later.
Surrounded by friends and neighbours who had come to celebrate her record-breaking feat, Hakoishi recalled the misery inflicted on her family during wartime.
Her salon was destroyed in an air raid, forcing her to return to Nakagawa, and her husband, who had been drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army, did not return home from the war.
She did not receive official notification of his death until 1953. That year Hakoishi decided to open a one-seat barber shop in Nakagawa, while raising her two children.
She attributed her extraordinary longevity down to dozens of exercises she has performed every morning since she was 70 – a regime that must have helped when she was selected as a torchbearer at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Hakoishi, though, is far from alone in keeping active well into her twilight years. In 2023, Tomoko Horino was recognised by Guinness as the world’s oldest female beauty adviser at the age of 100, while local media recently reported on the athletic feats of Kaneo Tsukioka, an 87-year-old trail runner who two years ago completed a 160 km race.
Older people in Tokyo are involved in everything from to competitive .
, a super- society, is home to more than 36m people aged 66 or older – accounting for almost 30% of the country’s population – according to the internal affairs ministry. Hakoishi is one of 95,000 centenarians.
Hakoishi concedes that a niggling knee pain means she can’t cut hair as often as she would like, limiting herself to a handful of regular customers a month.
“Life has been full of hardship since I was young, but I’m truly happy,” she said. “Some people travel from far away to see me, so I want to keep going for as long as I can.”

mZCUIfeSYw- | https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/12/gareth-taylor-manchester-city-sacking-moving-the-goalposts | # Will Gareth Taylor’s Manchester City sacking turn out to be a masterstroke?
Results and off-pitch changes contributed to coach going days before a cup final and months after all seemed rosy
On a cold Manchester night last November, as Gareth Taylor watched his team secure a 10th straight victory of the season by , the idea that he would not be in charge of Manchester City by mid-March seemed fairly far-fetched. City were on a run of 21 wins and one defeat in 23 WSL matches, meaning that across 12 months they had the best league results in the country. Yet four months and four painful league defeats later, Taylor is out.
To some, who were surprised Taylor was given a one-year contract extension in May 2023 despite City finishing fourth, his departure has been on the cards because of a relatively low trophy return – the FA Cup in 2020 and League Cup in 2022 – and City’s eliminations in the qualifying rounds of the Champions League in 2022 and 2023. To others, who see him as the coach who was within a whisker of winning the league last term, his dismissal may seem brutal.
For the club, it is understood the sacking was based on performances, amid concern Taylor was not looking set to qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the top three. The decisive moment for the powers-that-be appears to have come last Wednesday , when a stoppage-time equaliser from Manuela Paví meant City dropped points for the fifth time in nine WSL matches.
Some sources have suggested the damage was done a month earlier, when a – City’s fourth defeat in six WSL games – badly hampered their hopes of qualifying for Europe. Either way, the downturn since mid-November has left them fourth, a point below Arsenal having played an extra game. Minds are understood to have been made up before Sunday’s Women’s FA Cup quarter-final victory at home to Aston Villa in Taylor’s final match. Taylor will surely privately bemoan the absences of England’s Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood through injury since that run of 21 wins in 23 WSL games ended.
Many sources with knowledge of City’s inner workings have wondered for a while whether Taylor might be at risk, largely because his strongest allies, Gavin Makel and more recently Nils Nielsen, had moved on. Makel switched from head of women’s football to working as a director in the club’s entertainment district in 2023, and Nielsen, understood to be influential in the decision to give Taylor a new three-year contract 12 months ago, left his role as the women’s director of football last summer and is in charge of the Japan women’s national team. There was always a chance that Charlotte O’Neill, who became City Women’s managing director in November 2023, and , the women’s director of football since October 2024, would have their own visions for who should coach the team.
Taylor’s reign was a mixed bag of very good streaks of form and bad drop-offs. If his tenure was defined by one sliding-doors moment, it came during four fateful minutes on 5 May last year when City conceded and let the title slip from their grasp. A draw would have been enough and everybody associated with the club surely still feels frustration at the game management after the equaliser on 89 minutes.
Several big-name England regulars including Georgia Stanway, Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze left City during Taylor’s tenure, as did Scotland’s Caroline Weir. It would be wrong to suggest they departed because of Taylor, but none was so enamoured of working with him that they felt compelled to stay. Other players have expressed dissatisfaction, not least Chloe Kelly, who moved on loan to Arsenal after a public fallout with the club and : “A key lesson I have learned in my life is that, while I can’t control someone’s negative behaviour towards me, I can control how long I am prepared to tolerate it.”
The Barcelona and England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck, speaking to the BBC in February, described her relationship with Taylor before her departure from City as “fractured” and questioned whether the communication had been clear enough: “I think it was a badly managed situation. I’ve always been professional. I just felt like the respect wasn’t reciprocated in that same sense.” Shortly after Taylor’s departure was announced, Roebuck wrote “what goes around comes around” in a social media post that did not mention him directly.
Greenwood handled questions on Tuesday about Taylor’s exit very diplomatically and professionally, stating that she had and was shocked by his exit but that she trusted the decision. Many sources close to the rest of the squad have told the Guardian over the past 36 hours of their surprise at the timing while expressing a sense that the decision was probably best for the club.
Another reason why City felt ready to make a change was the availability of Nick Cushing, their 2016-title-winning coach, who is in interim charge for the rest of the season. It is understood Cushing had been taking time off with his family and City were the only women’s club he would have contemplated coming back to work for, because of his emotional attachment. He stepped down in 2020, when Taylor took over, and will hope to win another trophy in his first game.
If you are hoping to trigger a “new manager bounce”, how about making a change before four consecutive matches in 13 days against Chelsea? It is bold, risky, almost unprecedentedly so in the women’s game. To many, sacking Taylor five days before Saturday’s League Cup final, is bizarre, but the most-surprised party may be Chelsea. Sonia Bompastor’s team will go into this quartet of season-defining fixtures, which also include Champions League ties either side of a WSL fixture, with a slight sense of the unknown. In a fortnight we will know whether City’s gamble backfired or was a masterstroke.

dWTXZmLArwQ | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/05/trump-congress-address-fact-check | ’s marathon address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday was littered with false claims, many of them falsehoods he has previously stated, been corrected on, and continued to repeat regardless. Here are some of the main statements he made that are just not true.
---
**The United States has not given Ukraine $350bn since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The president repeated one of his new favorite lies: that the United States has given Ukraine $350bn since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, and Europe has given just $100bn.
In fact, as Jakub Krupa and Pjotr Sauer for the Guardian last month, kept by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy shows that the US has spent about $120bn, while Europe – counted as the sum of the EU and individual member states – has allocated nearly $138bn in help for Ukraine. When the contributions from non EU countries, like the UK, are included, Europe’s share is even larger.
Last week, on three consecutive days, three visiting world leaders corrected Trump on this false statement while sitting next to him in the Oval Office: the French president, Emmanuel Macron, the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, and Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

**Trump did not stop ‘$45m for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma’**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One in a litany of spending on foreign aid projects that Trump presented as ridiculous was “$45m for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma”.
There is no evidence that any such scholarships were planned. As the former representative Tom Malinowski , when this claim was first made by Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency”, this appears to be a reference to a very different program, , which helped educate young people struggling for freedom against Burma’s military dictatorship.
It is not clear why Trump or Musk wrongly thought that these were diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships, but, as Malinowski noted, the USAid project description did specify that the scholars were Burmese students “from diverse backgrounds”. That seems like an important policy, given that the military dictatorship in Burma has exploited ethnic and religious divisions to stay in power.
---
**Trump wrongly suggested that millions of dead people might be getting social security payments**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump drew attention to the fact that a Social Security Administration database includes millions of people who would be over 110 years old.
But, as the Guardian has , when Musk claimed that “a cursory examination of social security” showed that “we’ve got people in there that are 150 years old”, this is a deeply misleading way of talking about about real flaw in the social security system which could enable fraud, but apparently does not.
That flaw was revealed in by the independent inspector general for the social security administration who discovered that the agency did not have death records for millions of people who had passed away. As of 2015, the inspector general found, there were “approximately 6.5 million numberholders age 112 or older who did not have death information” on their files.
According to the report, social security payments were still being made to just 13 people who had reached the age of 100, and at least one of those people was certainly still alive, and tweeting, at the time the report’s data was compiled in 2013.
When the report was issued in 2015, the oldest person with a social security number and no death record on their file was born in 1869, but there was no record of payments still being made to that person, who would have been nearly 150.
In fact, the social security administration already has in place to conduct interviews with anyone who reaches the age of 100, to verify that they are alive and their account is not being used by someone else to collect fraudulent payments.

**Trump incorrectly claimed that a middle school in Florida had ‘socially transitioned’ a 13-year-old child**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trump said that January Littlejohn, a mother from Tallahassee, Florida, had discovered that her 13-year-old child’s middle school had secretly socially transitioned her from female to non-binary without notifying the parents.
While Littlejohn made that case in a lawsuit, the suit was dismissed by a federal judge, and emails obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper that Littlejohn had written to the school in 2020 to notify a teacher that her child wanted to change pronouns.
The emails showed that Littlejohn worked with a teacher to determine how best to navigate the situation, and thanked the teacher for their help.
---
**Trump cherrypicked an out-of-date poll to suggest that most Americans say the US is now going in the right direction**
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Now, for the first time in modern history,” Trump proclaimed early in his address, “more Americans believe that our country is headed in the right direction than the wrong direction.”
In fact, Trump appeared to be citing a single poll, published three weeks ago by the Republican-leaning polling firm Rasmussen, which a 47%-46% edge for the right direction over the wrong direction. However, that same polling firm’s survey, this week, shows that 45% of Americans now say the country is on the right track, and 50% say it is on the wrong track.
As the polling expert Nate Silver last year, when it was that Rasmussen was secretly showing its results to the Trump campaign, “this sort of explicit coordination with a campaign, coupled with ambiguity about funding sources, means that we’re going to label Rasmussen as an intrinsically partisan (R) pollster going forward”.
Other polling firms, not associated with the Republican party, show that more Americans say that the country is on the wrong track now than on the right track.
The latest , in late February, shows that 49% of Americans say that the country is headed off on the wrong track, and just 34% say that the country is headed in the right direction.
An last week found that 50% of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, with just 38% saying it is on the right track.
The most recent , published on Sunday, shows that the current spread is 56% wrong to 44% right. In the final week of the first Trump administration in 2021, Morning Consult found that 81% of Americans said the country was on the wrong track, with just 19% saying it was on the right track.

**Trump falsely claimed Musk’s cost-cutting had ‘found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud’**
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the start of its work, Musk’s “department of government efficiency” initiative has repeatedly claimed to have uncovered “fraud” only to have examples it cited turn out to be incorrect or invented. The most eye-catching example, that the government planned to spend , turned out to be .
As the New York Times on Monday, receipts posted online by Musk’s “department of government efficiency” document less than $9bn in savings from cancelled government contracts, none of which involved fraud.

Musk claims George Soros, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman are funding 'protests' against Tesla

Tesla CEO Elon Musk blamed the recent string of vandalism across the US on ActBlue funders, including George Soros and Reid Hoffman

Fox News host Jesse Watters gives his take on Elon Musk telling Joe Rogan that the left wants to kill him on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'
is blaming nationwide protests against his electric car company Tesla on left-wing billionaire George Soros, billionaire Democratic mega-donor and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and others, claiming they are bankrolling the destructive "protests."
The protests at dealerships and other locations have occurred even as some Tesla vehicles and charging stations have been damaged and destroyed, though it is not clear that the protests and the vandalism are linked. Musk, Tesla's CEO, took to his social media platform X on Sunday morning to say an investigation found five ActBlue-funded groups were responsible for Tesla "protests."
"An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America," Musk wrote.
ActBlue is the Democratic fundraising platform that's hauled in millions of dollars in donations for Vice President Harris' presidential campaign and its affiliated entities.
"This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel. If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon," Musk wrote.

A spokesperson for Hoffman slammed Musk's claims, calling them "wildly false."
"This is just one more of Elon's wildly false claims about me. I have never funded any organization or individual for demonstrations at Tesla, or any actions at charging stations or on vehicles," Hoffman said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"I don't condone violence. But I'm not surprised that everyday Americans are angry about what Elon is doing. Unlike on Twitter, his actions and statements in the real world have real consequences."
dealerships and charging stations have been targeted nationwide by protesters and vandals because of Musk's involvement with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to slash wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government.
Indivisible, an organization founded by former Democratic congressional staffers, previously urged liberals to protest Musk's actions, going so far as providing a "tool kit" with recommendations on how to "take the fight to Elon."
On Saturday, protesters rallied outside Tesla dealerships, holding signs denouncing Musk and DOGE, including in Decatur, Georgia, according to The Associated Press (AP).
Earlier this week, protesters struck an located 10 miles south of Portland, which was targeted by gunshots Thursday, damaging multiple cars and shattering windows, according to The AP.

A man was also arrested after at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon, the Salem Statesman-Journal reported.
Several Tesla charging stations have also been set on fire in Massachusetts.
Brookline police recently arrested a Boston man with Musk decals and sharing the footage on X.
Last week, the U.S. attorney’s office in Colorado charged 42-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, after police say they found a number of explosives and concerning messages at a Colorado Tesla dealership.
In a previous interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., voiced concerns over lawmakers' rhetoric about Musk.
"People have said that they know that Elon Musk, hitting him, attacking him, is actually good for their polling numbers," Luna said. "So, they're going to continue to do it."
She also noted Musk's comments while speaking with podcaster Joe Rogan about the increase in threats on his life.
Fox News Digital reached out to Soros for comment, but did not hear back.

Ocg03rT27iE | https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/mar/08/liverpool-southampton-premier-league-match-report#comments | The view from the top looks beautiful for Liverpool, 16 points clear after another comeback against . From Arne Slot’s elevated position up in the Anfield directors’ box, however, he could see warning signs with Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon.
“When I look at the first game against PSG, we have to go one step up in terms of intensity,” said the head coach. “And compared to the game today, we need to go five, six, seven steps up in terms of intensity if we want to have any chance of reaching the next round.”
The Premier League leaders required two Mohamed Salah penalties to move closer to the title after Darwin Núñez cancelled out Will Smallbone’s opener for Ivan Juric’s doomed side. The hosts also needed an injection of energy and quality from a triple half-time substitution to rouse themselves from a lethargic and sloppy opening. Southampton were able to grow in confidence and menace before stunning Anfield by taking the lead. They would ultimately bemoan three video assistant referee reviews that went against them.

Liverpool could have been in a worse position before half-time. The VAR checked a possible red card offence by Núñez after he was booked for taking a swipe at Kyle Walker-Peters. Núñez made no attempt to play the ball but the VAR stuck with the on-field decision of the new Premier League referee Lewis Smith.
Slot’s half-time changes said everything about Liverpool’s performance. His selection appeared risky from the off with only Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Diogo Jota rested from the team that started at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. There was no reward of a first league start of the season for Harvey Elliott, though he was among the half-time replacements for Dominik Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas. The impact was immediate.
Elliott almost repeated by scoring within seconds of his arrival. Aaron Ramsdale, who saved well from Trent Alexander-Arnold but was relatively untroubled in the first half, turned the 21-year-old’s drive wide of the far post. There was a sharpness and aggression to Liverpool that had been absent before the changes. Now Slot witnessed the intensity he had called for.
Now Liverpool swiftly drew level thanks, almost inevitably from a Southampton perspective, to Núñez. The move was instigated by one of the half-time substitutes, Robertson, who found Luis Díaz hugging the left touchline. Díaz darted past Walker-Peters to the byline and centred for the Uruguay striker to convert at the near post.
The game turned moments later when Ramsdale saved from Díaz and Núñez went down under a challenge from Smallbone as Southampton attempted to clear. Smith awarded a soft penalty, the VAR did not intervene, and Salah swept an uncontested spot-kick into Ramsdale’s right corner. The 242nd goal of Salah’s Liverpool career moved him to outright third in the club’s all-time goalscorers’ list. “It was not a penalty and that changed the match,” said an angry Juric. “This cannot be a penalty ever.”
Juric also bemoaned the award of Liverpool’s second penalty but conceded Yukinari Sugawara “needs to be more careful” after he handled following a tussle with Díaz. A Sugawara handball gave Salah a spot-kick to complete Liverpool’s comeback . Here it presented the Egypt international with the opportunity to go joint-fifth on the all-time Premier League scorers’ chart with Sergio Agüero. The phenomenal forward’s 184th top-flight goal was drilled emphatically into Ramsdale’s top left corner.

## Postcode electricity pricing is a minefield for Ed Miliband

There is little middle ground in the battle over zonal pricing – and the energy secretary has only months to settle dispute

How would you prefer your electricity prices to be set – nationally or locally? There is little middle ground in the bitter lobbying battle over zonal pricing, the proposal that Great Britain’s electricity market should be split into regions with prices set by local supply and demand. The energy secretary, Ed Miliband, must decide in the next few months, in time for this summer’s auction for new wind and solar projects.
One camp – led by Greg Jackson, the politically plugged-in founder of Octopus Energy, the UK’s biggest retail energy supplier – argues that customers’ bills will “skyrocket” unless zonal pricing is adopted. It points to the wasted money spent paying windfarms to stop generating plus the cost of requiring other generators to fire up on the other side on a bottleneck. The cost all ends up on bills – indeed, constraint costs equated to 2.4% of consumers’ total electricity bills last year.

Flexible zonal pricing would fix the problem – or prevent it getting worse, advocates argue. More generating capacity would be built nearer to where it is needed. Demand would move nearer to supply. Overall costs would fall because price signals would force the system to run more efficiently. Fewer pylons might be required. They paint a happy picture of windy Scotland as a place of low bills and a background purr of AI datacentres running on cheap energy.
The bulk of the rest of the industry – to judge by the 55 signatories of a letter to the government last month – thinks the zonal vision is dreamy nonsense. It would “do nothing” to reduce bills, is “completely at odds with the government’s clean power mission” and should be ruled out “at the earliest opportunity”, wrote those developers, generators and investors.
Windfarms need to be where it is windy, and London is not awash with open spaces for large solar installations, runs this line of thinking. There would be a “postcode lottery” for consumers on bills. And latency issues in telecoms connections may mean Scotland never becomes an AI paradise.
Then there is the objectors’ argument about pure money: if zonal pricing is seen as a riskier proposition, any imagined savings could evaporate via higher financing costs. The sprint to clean power by 2030, as Miliband characterises it, involves a £200bn investment programme from the private sector over five years.
“You would be asking people to invest £40bn a year into a market that they no longer understand how it works,” says Keith Anderson, the chief executive of ScottishPower. “You are at risk of slowing down investment or people pricing that risk into the auction.”
The quarrel is accompanied by a war of big numbers and long reports by consultants. Octopus quotes savings for consumers of at least £55bn on the way to 2050, citing a report it commissioned from FTI Consulting. In the other direction, Alistair Phillips-Davies, the chief executive of SSE, points to LCP Delta’s conclusion that adding a single percentage point to the cost of capital would increase the cost of the energy transition by about £50bn.
Who will win this scrap? At the moment, the outcome looks to be genuinely up in the air. There is “civil war” among officials at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero on the issue, says one insider. One can make a few observations, however.
First, the current market structure will not last. “The amount you have to pay windfarms to get constrained off – the amount that we end up with a system that is inefficient – if we do absolutely nothing, I think means it is not economically credible for British consumers to leave it as it is,” said Jonathan Brearley, the chief executive of Ofgem, the energy regulator, on the Montel News podcast last month.
The choice, then, is between zonal pricing or a rejig of the current national market to try to make it more efficient, probably by forcing changes to internal transmission charges and established balancing mechanisms.
Either way, the goal will be to avoid the danger of shambolic events – for example, bill payers paying UK windfarms to turn off their turbines while power is simultaneously imported via an interconnector from Norway.
Second, Ofgem has made up its mind. “We’ve had a robust debate within Ofgem … and we have come to the view that zonal pricing is the best way forward,” Brearley said. If Miliband were to reject that view, he would be refusing the advice of the independent regulator – albeit Brearley revealed that Ofgem’s board was not unanimous in its thinking.
Third, if he backs zonal pricing, Miliband should worry about the backlash. The companies may not be bluffing about higher financing costs and reduced risk appetites.

Constraint costs were about £1bn last year, according to figures from the National Energy System Operator (Neso). The figure covers payments to windfarms to stop generating plus the cost of requiring other generators to fire up on the other side on a bottleneck. The cost all ends up on bills – indeed, constraint payments equated to 2.4% of consumers’ total electricity bills last year.

Who will win this scrap? At the moment, the outcome looks to be genuinely up in the air. There is “civil war” among officials at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero on the issue, says one insider. One can make a few observations, however.
First, the current market structure will not last. “The amount you have to pay windfarms to get constrained off – the amount that we end up with a system that is inefficient – if we do absolutely nothing, I think means it is not economically credible for British consumers to leave it as it is,” said Jonathan Brearley, the chief executive of Ofgem, the energy regulator, on the Montel News podcast last month.
The choice, then, is between zonal pricing or a rejig of the current national market to try to make it more efficient, probably by forcing changes to internal transmission charges and established balancing mechanisms.
Either way, the goal will be to avoid the danger of shambolic events – for example, bill payers paying UK windfarms to turn off their turbines while power is simultaneously imported via an interconnector from Norway.
Second, Ofgem has made up its mind. “We’ve had a robust debate within Ofgem … and we have come to the view that zonal pricing is the best way forward,” Brearley said. If Miliband were to reject that view, he would be refusing the advice of the independent regulator – albeit Brearley revealed that Ofgem’s board was not unanimous in its thinking.
Third, if he backs zonal pricing, Miliband should worry about the backlash. The companies may not be bluffing about higher financing costs and reduced risk appetites.

Constraint costs were about £1bn last year, according to figures from the National Energy System Operator (Neso). The figure covers payments to windfarms to stop generating plus the cost of requiring other generators to fire up on the other side on a bottleneck. The cost all ends up on bills – indeed, constraint payments equated to 2.4% of consumers’ total electricity bills last year.

Flexible zonal pricing would fix the problem – or prevent it getting worse, advocates argue. More generating capacity would be built nearer to where it is needed. Demand would move nearer to supply. Overall costs would fall because price signals would force the system to run more efficiently. Fewer pylons might be required.

GaxJP--wCqL | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/07/death-toll-rises-syrian-security-forces-struggle-quell-assad-loyalist-attacks | # Syrian security forces execute 125 civilians in battle against Assad loyalists
## Main Content
Fighting in Latakia is marked escalation by Bashar al Assad loyalists against Syria’s new Islamist-led government.
About 125 civilians have been executed by government security forces in north-west during a rolling two-day battle with loyalists to the ousted Assad regime, a Syrian war monitor reported on Friday.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), a human rights monitor considered independent and credible, documented “large-scale field executions of men and young adults, without any clear distinction between civilians and combatants”, in north-west Syria.
Fighting started on Thursday afternoon when militants loyal to the ousted Assad government in a rural area of Latakia province, a former stronghold of the deposed leader where many of Syria’s minority Alawite Islamic sect live.
Late on Friday, interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa called on armed groups affiliated with the former government to lay down their arms “before it’s too late” and for those loyal to the new government to avoid attacking civilians or abusing prisoners.
“When we compromise our ethics, we reduce ourselves to the same level as our enemy,” he said in a video address. “The remnants of the fallen regime are looking for a provocation that will lead to violations behind which they can seek refuge.”
The wide-scale military operation is the biggest challenge to the new government in Damascus since the former Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) toppled the Assad regime on 8 December.
In response to the attack, the Syrian government mobilised thousands of troops to north-west Syria, and attacked Assad loyalists with helicopter gunships, drones and artillery.
The attack by Assad loyalists seems to have provoked revenge killings in north-west Syria, which is populated heavily by the minority Islamic Alawite sect from which deposed Syrian president hailed.
SNHR reported that in al-Mukhtariya, Latakia, about 40 civilians were executed together in a single location. Videos of the massacre show people dressed in civilian clothes piled on top of one another as women wailed. Another video in a second town showed gunmen executing seemingly unarmed men who were crawling on their hands and knees away from them.
The Guardian was unable to independently verify either of the videos.
Syria’s coast is populated by Alawites, the sect from which the Assad family hailed, though most of the sect had no relation to the former regime. Mutual suspicion between Alawites in the coastal region and the new rulers of Syria has persisted since the toppling of the Assad regime.
Despite assurances that minorities, including Alawites, would be safe in the new Syria, Alawite communities have been subject to a number of revenge killings since December.
In one case, on 31 January in the town of Arza, in Homs province, eight men were asked if they were Alawite and then executed with a bullet to the head. Ten more men were executed in Arza on Friday, with their bodies left out in the open, SNHR reported.
Syria’s new rulers have said the killings were “individual cases” committed by individuals and groups unaffiliated with the government in Damascus, but that has done little to quell the growing fears of Alawites.
The new Syrian authorities have come under criticism for not being inclusive enough of Syria’s religious diversity and its vast civil society. A transitional government is to be announced in the coming weeks, the makeup of which will be a key test for the new rulers of Syria’s commitment to pluralism.

ll-zdW-Bphu | https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/taxes/2025/03/13/what-to-know-tax-refunds-withholdings/82234471007/ | # Should you get a tax refund? Here's what to know about withholdings, estimated payments
Receiving a big refund at tax time may feel like getting a windfall, but you probably know the old advice that you shouldn’t give an interest-free loan to the government.
Yet tax and finance professionals say it’s a bit more nuanced than those two options. With some caveats, they say, most people should withhold or make estimated payments throughout the year that get them as close to what they will eventually owe as possible.
“I typically don't want our clients to be getting a huge refund,” said David Alvarez, a financial adviser with PAX Financial Group, in San Antonio, Texas. “If you're overpaying, it's not like the government pays it back with interest. You obviously don't want to be surprised with a huge tax bill, and there could be penalties for underpayment. So as close as you can get to net zero is ideal.”
If it is a mystery to you – say you’ve had some changes in your personal or work life – you might want to invest in some professional help in the future. Having a good sense of your tax liability throughout the year is also important if you ever need to file for an extension, said Dan Hoicowitz, a CPA with Cleveland-based Larry Hoicowitz CPA.
On the other hand, if you know you’re bad at saving, siphoning off a little more than necessary with every paycheck can be a helpful hack, said Rachel Elson, a San Francisco based wealth adviser at Perigon Wealth Management.
“But if you’re going to do that, then you have to commit to doing something productive with the refund money,” Elson told USA TODAY.
What does “productive” mean? Use that money to get your financial house in order, whatever that means for your unique situation. If you have debt, pay that down first, because the interest you’re paying to a lender is undoubtedly higher than anything you’d receive from a savings account or other investments, Elson said.
If not, start or make more payments to an emergency fund. You could also fund an individual retirement account, including for the year just ended if you’re doing it before the April 15 deadline. If you’re going to use the money for savings, make sure it’s a high-yield savings account, Elson said.

ikNu1NdIy8i | https://www.foxnews.com/us/police-arrest-4-connection-hyperbaric-chamber-fire-killed-5-year-old-michigan-boy-report | # Police arrest 4 in connection to hyperbaric chamber fire that killed 5-year-old Michigan boy: report
## Tammi Peterson, founder and CEO of The Oxford Center, is reportedly expected to face second-degree murder and manslaughter charges
The Oxford Center owned and operated the hyperbaric chamber that Cooper was inside when it exploded.
In addition to Peterson, three others are expected to be charged with the same crimes, while one of those three will also be charged with falsifying medical records.
FOX 2 reported that the names of the other three individuals have not been released.
The Detroit Free Press reported that all four are scheduled to be arraigned in district court on Tuesday.
The Troy Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional information and comment.
The did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for additional information and comment.
When reached for comment, an attorney for the Oxford Center issued a statement to FOX 2, saying they are fully cooperating with investigators, though they are disappointed in the charges.
"The timing of these charges is surprising, as the typical protocol after a fire-related accident has not yet been completed. There are still outstanding questions about how this occurred. Yet, the Attorney General’s office proceeded to pursue charges without those answers," the statement reads. "Our highest priority every day is the safety and wellbeing of the children and families we serve, which continues during this process."
On the day of the , the boy’s mother, Annie Cooper, was sitting in a waiting room while her son received treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep apnea.
Thomas was receiving treatment that consisted of 100% oxygen on Jan. 31 at The Oxford Center, located about 24 miles north of Detroit.
"She was in the waiting room and was alerted that … something wrong had happened. She rushed back to where her son was, and she tried and tried and tried to get him out and … was unable to," James Harrington of Fieger Law told Fox News Digital. "She sustained serious, significant burns in that attempt to rescue her child."
When Troy police and fire officials arrived on the scene, Thomas was dead inside the chamber while Annie suffered injuries to her arm.
Annie and her husband, Thomas' father, James Cooper, buried the 5-year-old on Feb. 13. Thomas "was known to all his friends, family, and teachers as a curious, energetic, smart, outgoing, and thoughtful little boy," his obituary stated.

“Greenlanders must be allowed to decide our own future as it moves toward independence from Denmark.”

Greenland’s probable new prime minister has rejected Donald Trump’s effort to take control of the island, saying Greenlanders must be allowed to decide their own future as it moves toward independence from Denmark.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, whose centre-right Democrats won a surprise victory in this week’s legislative elections and now must form a coalition government, pushed back on Thursday against Trump’s repeated claims that the US will annex the island.
“We don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders, and we want our own independence in the future,” Nielsen, 33, told Sky News. “And we want to build our own country by ourselves.”
With most Greenlanders opposing Trump’s overtures, the election campaign focused more on issues such as healthcare and education than on geopolitics.
The 31 men and women elected to parliament on Tuesday will have to set priorities for issues such as diversifying Greenland’s economy, building infrastructure and improving healthcare, as well as shaping the country’s strategy for countering the US president’s “America first” agenda.
The Democrats won 29.9% of the vote by campaigning to improve housing and educational standards while delaying independence until Greenland is self-sufficient. Four years ago, the party finished in fourth place with 9.1%.
Nuuk resident Anthon Nielsen said the party’s victory would be good for the country.
“Most politicians want Greenland to be independent,” he said. “But this party who won, they don’t want to hurry things, so everything must be done right.”
Carina Ren, head of the Arctic program at Aalborg University in Copenhagen, said the results show that Greenlanders tried to ignore Trump and focus on issues that were important to them.
“The voters have been able to drag down all the drama, all the alarmist talk from the outside to say: ‘Well, this is about our everyday lives, our everyday concerns as citizens. Where are we going, how are we going to develop our society from the inside.’”
Now, Demokraatit will have to turn its attention to forming a governing coalition.
Naleraq, the most aggressively pro-independence party, finished in second place, with 24.5% of the vote. It was followed by Inuit Ataqatigiit, which led the last government, at 21.4%.

zp61eeRo3UF | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/02/kremlin-us-foreign-policy-pivot-largely-coincides-vision | Kremlin says US foreign policy pivot ‘largely coincides with our vision’
======================================================================
The Kremlin said on Sunday that the dramatic pivot in the foreign policy of the US “largely” coincides with its own vision, with described as having “common sense”.
The US president, who has often said he respects his Russian counterpart , has worked to build ties with Moscow since taking office in January, including twice siding with Russia in UN votes.

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told a reporter from state television. “The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations,” the Kremlin spokesperson said. “This largely coincides with our vision.”
Peskov added: “There is a long way to go, because there is huge damage to the whole complex of bilateral relations. But if the political will of the two leaders, President Putin and President Trump, is maintained, this path can be quite quick and successful.”
Peskov made the comments on Wednesday but they were only made public on Sunday, two days after Trump defended Putin during a fiery clash with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the Oval Office on Friday.
Trump has upended US policy on Russia’s invasion of , which marked its third anniversary last week. On Friday, he told Zelenskyy he was losing the war and had “no cards” to play.
Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, also praised Trump for his “commonsense” aim to end the war in Ukraine and accused European powers, who have rallied to support Zelenskyy and are meeting with the Ukrainian leader at a summit in London on Sunday, of seeking to prolong the conflict.
Trump “is a pragmatist”, Lavrov told the Russian military newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, according to a transcript released by the foreign ministry. “His slogan is common sense. It means, as everyone can see, a shift to a different way of doing things.”
Lavrov said the US still sought to be the world’s most powerful country and that Washington and Moscow would never see eye to eye on everything, but they could resort to pragmatism when interests coincided.
The Kremlin often rebuked the former US president Joe Biden, accusing him in November of “adding fuel to the fire” by allowing Kyiv to use long-range missiles for strikes against Russia.
Lavrov said that after Biden’s administration, “people have come in who want to be guided by common sense. They say directly that they want to end all wars, they want peace. And who demands a ‘continuation of the banquet’ in the form of a war? Europe.”
But, Lavrov said, “the goal is still Maga (Make America Great Again)”, referring to Trump’s political slogan. “This gives a lively, human character to politics. That’s why it’s interesting to work with him.”

By
**Updated on:** March 14, 2025 / 8:10 AM CDT / CBS Texas
Passengers on an American Airlines plane that caught fire in Denver arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport early Friday morning, nearly 12 hours after initially taking off.
The plane, with 178 passengers, caught fire on the tarmac after making an emergency landing at Denver International Airport, forcing many passengers to evacuate by climbing out onto a wing and with emergency slides. Airport officials said 12 passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News in a statement that American Airlines Flight 1006 had departed from Colorado Springs Airport and was bound for DFW Airport when the "crew reported engine vibrations."
Michele Woods was on her way home from a trade show in Colorado Springs. She said takeoff was fine, but once the plane was in the air, one of the engines was making a loud noise.
She said people were screaming, pushing and jumping when the plane landed.
"\ landed, everything was fine but then there was smoke filling the cabin," said Woods, who was sitting in the front of the plane. She said she was able to walk off of the plane.
"The video was really scary," she said.
Ingrid Hibbit and her family were on the way to a wedding in Argentina when the plane was diverted to Denver, missing their initial connecting flight in Dallas.
She said the landing was abrupt and once the plane landed, she saw flames out of her window, which was melting.
"Getting off the plane was a challenge, didn't go smoothly," she said. "Grateful to be here."
