Wayne Rooney and I’m A Celeb star wife Coleen go head-to-head in TV ratings battle as he faces former Man Utd team-mateLucknow: UP STF on Wednesday arrested three men involved in opening fraudulent corporate accounts and selling them to conmen, who in turn used them for cyber fraud . ASP, STF, Vishal Vikram Singh, stated that the account opened through the arrested men were used by conmen involved in the digital arrest of Dr Ashok Solanki in Lucknow, who lost Rs 48 lakh in the scam on Aug 20 this year. In all, the gang had orchestrated scams worth crores. The group has links with Cambodian operatives, said STF officials, who claimed that members were trained in " digital arrests " by Chinese gangs operating from Cambodia. In recent months, the group defrauded Rs 8 crore from a Noida hotel and siphoned additional amounts from Jaipur, Delhi, and Kerala through corporate accounts. Shyam Singh, 27, Harshal Kumar, 33, and Puneet Sharma, 25, all residents of Delhi, were arrested from Agra Expressway in Lucknow. Earlier, in Nov, STF had arrested seven people, including five from Gurugram and two from Lucknow in the similar case. The gang had called Dr Solanki of Vikasnagar on Aug 20, giving him information about a courier coming from Iran in his name containing drugs and illegal documents. After posing as a crime branch officer, they made him talk to a partner, digitally arrested him for two days, and cheated him of Rs 48 lakh. One of the accused, Shyam, revealed during interrogation that in Feb 2024, he was contacted by Karan alias Nagesh through a Telegram group. Karan offered him work on gaming, scamming, mixing, and stocks through WhatsApp calls. Karan alias Nagesh was arrested recently, the STF said.The state government will launch a parliamentary inquiry into regional housing supply as it steps up its effort to tackle the crisis in country Victoria. or signup to continue reading Leader of the House and Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas will give notice of a motion to establish the inquiry on November 27. Premier Jacinta Allan to tackle the housing crisis in October, but no new policies to specifically tackle the issue in the regions. A government spokesperson said the new inquiry would find out what kind of housing country Victorians needed, and how it could best be delivered. Ms Thomas's motion said the inquiry would "get regional MPs out into the communities talking about housing for the next 12 months". It will report back by December 15 2025. An ACM investigation revealed the government's Big Housing Build had already allocated more than its promised $1.25 billion investment to regional Victoria. But it also showed the program was to increase the state's social housing stock by 10 per cent. For every two houses built under the Big Build, the government was having to demolish or sell one, and in regional Victoria the increase in housing was lagging well behind the number of new houses. The government has also started rolling out a $1 billion Regional Housing Fund. under the program, but the 1300 figure now comprises at least 500 existing Homes Victoria dwellings that were previously uninhabitable. A government spokesperson said a key part of the inquiry would be assessing the delivery of the Big Build and Regional Housing Fund to ensure they were providing the promised benefits. It will also investigate the cost of building houses under the programs. The cost per house under the Big Build in regional Victoria ranged from $350,877 in Wangaratta, to $439,024 in Warrnambool. But the 1300 new and "upgraded" houses under the Regional Housing Fund will cost about $770,000 each. The inquiry will be done by the Legislative Assembly's Environment and Planning Committee, chaired by Wendouree MP Juliana Addison. Every regional MP will be expected to build a picture of the housing need in their district, including the ideal mix of social and affordable dwellings. But the inquiry will also explore efficient and innovative building methods, including whether modular and prefabricated housing could improve the amenity of an area quickly and cost-effectively. Another focus will be the need for smaller dwellings compared to three and four-bedroom homes, and whether apartments could efficiently fill the housing need in larger cities. The government's suite of housing announcements in October included cuts to red tape and stamp duty, as well as a plan to force developers to contribute their fair share to local infrastructure. Developers face . In south-west Victoria, councils like Warrnambool City and Moyne Shire have been forced to create their own key worker housing because planning challenges and a lack of developer interest have made new developments rare. In Ballarat, some growth areas have sat in activation limbo while other potential housing areas remain undeveloped because crucial infrastructure is lagging five or 10 years behind housing demand. A government spokesperson said the inquiry would seek input from developers to find out what changes would help them build more housing more quickly in regional areas. The government has also opened a second round of its Regional Worker Accommodation Fund, which offers grants from $150,000 to $5 million to businesses, councils, or community groups to deliver key worker housing. The first round stimulated $250 million in public-private investment for "shovel-ready" regional housing projects. Ms Allan - whose hometown of Bendigo faces one of the biggest housing shortfalls in the state - said the government wanted to give "more families the opportunities they deserve to live in the communities they love".

President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. While immigration officials have used the tech for years, an October letter from the Department of Homeland Security obtained exclusively by The Associated Press details how those tools — some of them powered by AI — help make life-altering decisions for immigrants, including whether they should be detained or surveilled. One algorithm, for example, ranks immigrants with a “Hurricane Score,” ranging from 1-5, to assess whether someone will “abscond” from the agency's supervision. The letter, sent by DHS Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Eric Hysen to the immigrant rights group Just Futures Law, revealed that the score calculates the potential risk that an immigrant — with a pending case — will fail to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The algorithm relies on several factors, he said, including an immigrant’s number of violations and length of time in the program, and whether the person has a travel document. Hysen wrote that ICE officers consider the score, among other information, when making decisions about an immigrant’s case. “The Hurricane Score does not make decisions on detention, deportation, or surveillance; instead, it is used to inform human decision-making,” Hysen wrote. Also included in the government’s tool kit is a mobile app called SmartLINK that uses facial matching and can track an immigrant’s specific location. Nearly 200,000 people without legal status who are in removal proceedings are enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, under which certain immigrants can live in the U.S. while their immigration cases are pending. In exchange, SmartLINK and GPS trackers used by ICE rigorously surveil them and their movements. The phone application draws on facial matching technology and geolocation data, which has been used before to find and arrest those using the app. Just Futures Law wrote to Hysen earlier this year, questioning the fairness of using an algorithm to assess whether someone is a flight risk and raising concerns over how much data SmartLINK collects. Such AI systems, which score or screen people, are used widely but remain largely unregulated even though some have been found to discriminate on race, gender or other protected traits. DHS said in an email that it is committed to ensuring that its use of AI is transparent and safeguards privacy and civil rights while avoiding biases. The agency said it is working to implement the Biden administration’s requirements on using AI , but Hysen said in his letter that security officials may waive those requirements for certain uses. Trump has publicly vowed to repeal Biden's AI policy when he returns to the White House in January. “DHS uses AI to assist our personnel in their work, but DHS does not use the outputs of AI systems as the sole basis for any law enforcement action or denial of benefits,” a spokesperson for DHS told the AP. Trump has not revealed how he plans to carry out his promised deportation of an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally. Although he has proposed invoking wartime powers, as well as military involvement, the plan would face major logistical challenges — such as where to keep those who have been detained and how to find people spread across the country — that AI-powered surveillance tools could potentially address. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, did not answer questions about how they plan to use DHS’ tech, but said in a statement that “President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation” in American history. Over 100 civil society groups sent a letter on Friday urging the Office of Management and Budget to require DHS to comply with the Biden administration’s guidelines. OMB did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Just Futures Law’s executive director, Paromita Shah, said if immigrants are scored as flight risks, they are more likely to remain in detention, "limiting their ability to prepare a defense in their case in immigration court, which is already difficult enough as it is.” SmartLINK, part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, is run by BI Inc., a subsidiary of the private prison company The GEO Group. The GEO Group also contracts with ICE to run detention centers. ICE is tight-lipped about how it uses SmartLINK’s location feature to find and arrest immigrants. Still, public records show that during Trump’s first term in 2018, Manassas, Virginia-based employees of BI Inc. relayed immigrants’ GPS locations to federal authorities, who then arrested over 40 people. In a report last year to address privacy issues and concerns, DHS said that the mobile app includes security features that “prohibit access to information on the participant’s mobile device, with the exception of location data points when the app is open.” But the report notes that there remains a risk that data collected from people "may be misused for unauthorized persistent monitoring.” Such information could also be stored in other ICE and DHS databases and used for other DHS mission purposes, the report said. On investor calls earlier this month, private prison companies were clear-eyed about the opportunities ahead. The GEO Group’s executive chairman George Christopher Zoley said that he expects the incoming Trump administration to “take a much more aggressive approach regarding border security as well as interior enforcement and to request additional funding from Congress to achieve these goals.” “In GEO’s ISAP program, we can scale up from the present 182,500 participants to several hundreds of thousands, or even millions of participants,” Zoley said. That same day, the head of another private prison company told investors he would be watching closely to see how the new administration may change immigrant monitoring programs. “It’s an opportunity for multiple vendors to engage ICE about the program going forward and think about creative and innovative solutions to not only get better outcomes, but also scale up the program as necessary,” Damon Hininger, CEO of the private prison company CoreCivic Inc. said on an earnings call. GEO did not respond to requests for comment. In a statement, CoreCivic said that it has played “a valued but limited role in America’s immigration system” for both Democrats and Republicans for over 40 years.Donald J.

The National Economy and Finance Ministry's new tax bill passed Parliament on Wednesday by majority vote, on the strength of ruling New Democracy votes. The bill "Measures for raising income, tax incentives for innovation and transformations of businesses, and other regulations" was voted down by all opposition parties except Spartiates, who voted "present". National Economy and Finance Deputy Minister Christos Dimas said during debate "This bill aims at boosting citizens' income, improving their prosperity, strengthening the Greek economy before the developing climate crisis and the development of the economy through the promotion of research and innovation." He added that "the targets may be demanding and ambitious, and call for a lot of work by all of us, but they must be met so that Greece can go even higher." With this draft law, the government of New Democracy has made a total of 72 tax and contributions cuts, Dimas said, calling on all opposition parties to stop "demonizing the increase in tax revenues," explaining that "when this increase is a result of the development of the Greek economy, results from fighting tax evasion, and is accompanied by a reduction in taxation, then it is positive and an achievement." He asserted that the "resulting surplus revenues will return to society in the form of better services in health, education, and the entirety of the social state." Also passing in Parliament were the amendment regulating the starting price set transitionally in case of a trial cancellation; regulations for the Public Real Estate Company; the online Eurojackpot gaming process; the acquisition of shares of the DEPA Commercial SA company; and the tax exemption of gifts to the general government. These were approved by New Democracy, and rejected by the Communist Party (KKE), Elliniki Lysi, Nea Aristera, and Spartiates. PASOK-KINAL, SYRIZA, and Niki voted "present".
