After weeks of fear and bewilderment about over parts of New York and , U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details including where they system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Bianca Vázquez Toness, The Associated Press
Saquon Barkley has become the Shohei Ohtani of the NFL. There's no better home run hitter playing football right now. Barkley had touchdown runs of 72 and 70 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles in a 37-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. He now has five runs of 50-plus yards this season and is on pace to break Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 yards set in 1984. Barkley's historic performance against the Rams — his 255 yards set a team record — captivated a national audience and turned him into a fan favorite for the AP NFL MVP award. He's not the betting favorite, however. Josh Allen has the best odds at plus-150, according to Bet MGM Sportsbook. Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson is next at plus-250 followed by Barkley at plus-400. Running backs have won the award 18 times, including three-time winner Jim Brown, who was the AP's first NFL MVP in 1957. Quarterbacks have dominated the award, winning it 45 times. Only three players who weren't QBs or RBs have been MVP. It takes a special season for a non-QB to win it mainly because the offense goes through the signal caller. Quarterbacks handle the ball every offensive snap, run the show and get the credit when things go well and the blame when it doesn't. Adrian Peterson was the most recent non-QB to win it when he ran for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Minnesota Vikings in 2012. Playing for a winning team matters, too. Nine of the past 11 winners played for a No. 1 seed with the other two winners on a No. 2 seed. The Vikings earned the sixth seed when Pederson was MVP. Barkley is a major reason why the Eagles (9-2) are leading the NFC East and only trail Detroit (10-1) by one game for the top spot in the conference. Does he have a realistic chance to win the MVP award? Kicker Mark Moseley was the MVP in the strike-shortened 1982 season when he made 20 of 21 field goals and 16 of 19 extra points in nine games for Washington. If voters once selected a kicker, everyone has a chance, especially a game-changer such as Barkley. Defensive tackle Alan Page was the MVP in 1971 and linebacker Lawrence Taylor won it in 1986. Running back Christian McCaffrey finished third in voting last year and wide receiver Justin Jefferson placed fifth in 2022. The Offensive Player of the Year award and Defensive Player of the Year award recognize the best all-around players on both sides of the ball, allowing voters to recognize non-QBs if they choose. Wide receivers and running backs have won the AP OPOY award seven times over the past 11 seasons. McCaffrey was the 2023 winner. The AP's new voting format introduced in 2022 also gives non-QBs a better opportunity to get MVP recognition. Voter submit their top five picks for each award, with a weighted point system.

Kansas City clinches a playoff berth with a win over Las Vegas on Black Friday and a loss by Miami on Thursday night, or a win plus a loss by Denver on Monday night. Buffalo can wrap up a fifth straight AFC East title with a victory over San Francisco on Sunday and a loss by the Dolphins. It's not a given that the Dallas Cowboys will be looking for a new head coach after this season. Owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on local radio that Mike McCarthy could end up getting a contract extension. "I don't think that's crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left," Jones said. McCarthy led the Cowboys (4-7) to three straight 12-win seasons, but they went 1-3 in the playoffs and haven't reached the NFC championship game since winning the Super Bowl 29 years ago. Injuries have contributed to the team's struggles this season, but Dallas was just 3-5 before Dak Prescott was lost for the rest of the season. The Cowboys upset Washington last week and their next four games are against teams that currently have losing records. If they somehow end up 9-8 or even 8-9, Jones could make a case for keeping McCarthy. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday recovered a Pakistani drone carrying narcotics along the Indo-Pak international border in Jammu sector, said officials on Sunday. On Saturday at about 2010 hrs (8.10 pm), a smuggling attempt was foiled by the troops of BSF in Arnia sector of Jammu, said a BSF spokesperson. The drone entered India from across the border and was seized from the Chinaz Border Outpost area in the Arnia sector late Saturday, he added. “The BSF troops intercepted the Pakistani drone along with 495 grams of narcotics substance,” he added. The relentless dedication and sharp vigil of BSF Jammu personnel have once again defeated nefarious design of anti national elements, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the nation’s security, he said. On Friday, the inspector general of the BSF’s Jammu frontier DK Boora said that the border guarding force has put almost entire 200 km long Indo-Pak international border under technological surveillance, including smart fence and anti-drone system. “Technological surveillance is almost on the entire Jammu border and it is being extended along other frontiers of the country. Very soon all the frontiers will be under physical and technological surveillance,” he said. When asked about reduction in the incidents of Pak drones entering Indian territory, he had attributed it to the induction of anti-drone systems all along the frontiers with Pakistan. “It can’t be said if Pakistan has reduced attempts of sending drones but ever since we upgraded our counter drone systems this problem has come down almost to negligible level in Jammu sector, which proves that our technology is successful,” he had said.Rein Entertainment stuns global audiences with 'Drug War: A Conspiracy of Silence' at ATF 2024

One European nation surpasses the others in terms of wealth. The UK, while being one of the richest European countries , lags significantly behind the leader. Germany takes the title of Europe's richest country, boasting an impressive GDP of $4.46 trillion in 2023 , surpassing the combined GDP of the UK and Spain, which stand at $3.34 trillion and just over $1 trillion respectively. On a global scale, Germany ranks as the third-largest economy, following the US and China. GDP measures a country's economic well-being and size over a specific period, typically a quarter or a year, by summing up the monetary value of all final goods and services produced within its borders. Germany's economy is driven by a blend of manufacturing, innovation, and services, with renowned exports including cars, chemicals, and industrial machinery. Inside abandoned airport that saw 250 million passengers a year before becoming 'ghost town' World's longest underwater 'mega tunnel' to cost $46 billion but will halve 21-hour drive However, the German economy is not solely reliant on large industries; it's also characterized by the "Mittelstand", a web of small and medium-sized, often family-owned businesses. These companies are leaders in their fields, earning the title "hidden champions" and accounting for nearly half of global market leaders in their respective sectors. However, Germany's focus extends beyond business. The nation has significantly shifted towards renewable energy through its "Energiewende," or energy transition, initiative, reports the Express . This has made Germany a world leader in wind and solar power, generating nearly half of the country's electricity from these sources. This dedication to sustainability has positioned Germany as the first significant renewable energy economy globally. Germany's emphasis on innovation and research, allocating over 3% of its GDP to these areas, propels the advancement of various sectors, including technology and green energy. Major financial hubs like Frankfurt, Berlin, and Munich contribute to the country's economic strength, with Frankfurt home to the European Central Bank. Germany also stands out in the realm of trade fairs, hosting a majority of the world's largest events in cities such as Cologne, Hanover, and Düsseldorf. Despite expectations of a slight dip in economic growth in 2024 due to reduced global demand, analysts forecast a recovery starting in 2025. This upswing is anticipated to be driven by increased wages and more substantial domestic spending.LG Electronics India is preparing for a Rs 15,000 crore IPO. LG's IPO is likely to be India's fifth-largest IPO after Life Insurance Corporation, Hyundai Motor, Paytm and Coal India. And among the concerns that LG has listed in its draft prospectus reportedly includes the company's South Korean parent company LG. According to a report in Economic Times, LG Electronics India has expressed concerns about potential future competition from its South Korean parent company. In its draft prospectus, the Indian subsidiary highlighted the lack of an exclusivity agreement, stating that while the parent currently doesn't compete in India, it reserves the right to do so, which could create conflicts of interest and negatively impact LG India 's business. LG India’s ‘big competition concern’ This concern extends to Hi-M Solutek India, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary specializing in LG commercial air conditioner service and maintenance. Although currently focused on LG products, there's no guarantee it won't expand to serve competitors or directly compete with LG India in the future. "While our promoter is currently not engaged in businesses that compete with ours in India, the promoter may in the future engage in businesses that compete with ours because we do not have any exclusivity arrangement with them," the company said in the draft prospectus. "This may give rise to conflicts of interest, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations." "Currently, Hi-M Solutek India only provides services for our products. However, we do not have an exclusive contractual arrangement with them and there is no assurance that Hi-M Solutek India will not expand their business in the future to compete with ours or to provide services for our competitors," LG India said. "We plan to roll this out across our distribution network, which we believe will enable us to offer differentiated services, enhance consumer satisfaction and drive sales to consumers," the company said. The draft prospectus also says that LG India plans to build a new factory in Andhra Pradesh -- its third in the country. LG India is also scaling up component sourcing from its 280 local suppliers with the figure rising from 45% in 2022 to 58.3% in June this year.Celanese Corp. stock underperforms Monday when compared to competitors despite daily gains
Mumbai: Technology companies have rejected telecom operators ’ demand to bring OTT messaging channels like Meta's WhatsApp and Google RCS under the centralised blockchain system and regulate them to check spam, saying it wasn’t technically possible. The telcos’ call to look at anti-spam measures through the prism of regulation was flawed and overlooked the need for innovation to check the menace, they said. Instead of pressing regulators to bring apps such as WhatsApp and RCS under regulation, telecom companies should focus on investing in innovation to bring down their own compliance costs, they suggested. “Pressing the regulatory framework is not the solution to controlling spam as there is abundant proof that telecom companies have not been able to do that,” a senior executive of a leading global tech company told ET. “In fact, they (telcos) are late to the party in using AI (artificial intelligence) to control spam while technology companies have been doing it for a decade.” He was referring to Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea recently introducing AI/ML-based solutions to control spam messages and calls, after being pushed by the regulator.

Google and Meta did not respond to ET’s emails seeking comment. Telecom companies have been seeking "same service, same rules" for communication apps that offer calling and messaging services similar to what telcos provide. Tech companies say the reason for the telcos’ demand was due to the fact that they face hefty price competition from the likes of WhatsApp and RCS which offer services at cheaper rates than SMS. Carriers argue apps can afford to provide cheaper services as they don’t need to adhere to regularity responsibilities or invest in telecom infrastructure, which involve a cost. Bharti Airtel recently wrote to the telecom regulator to bring OTT platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal under the common blockchain filtering and digital consent acquisition system. But bringing WhatsApp and RCS under the decentralised blockchain system is technically and operationally non-feasible, technology experts said. The reason being that telecom and information services are not interoperable. The blockchain is designed to filter SMS headers, templates and user consent. WhatsApp Business, for example, does not operate in the same manner. “While this can be done by OTT channels operating a separate node in the blockchain, it will be an extremely chaotic situation,” said the product head at a blockchain technology firm. “Imagine the complexities for businesses who need to maintain separate templates for SMSes, WhatsApp messages, RCS messages which are vastly different in form. An SMS header, for example, ‘VM-HDFCBK’ is not the same as a WhatsApp Business account ‘HDFC Bank’. This means if telecom and OTT channels are non-interoperable, there is no practical use of bringing them on the blockchain,” this person said. He added that rich media like images, pdf documents, audio, location, etc., cannot be scrubbed (or filtered) on the existing system. OTTs are two-way communication — some of which are triggered by the users themselves — and therefore it is practically impossible to obey the blockchain operations. Moreover, with AI integration, OTT conversations are becoming dynamic and intelligent. Templatisation will hamper this innovation, the technology experts argued. India’s apex technology industry body, Nasscom, said the TCCCPR is not applicable to OTTs which are outside the purview of the Telecom Act. “And second, OTTs have strong in-built technical measures to address spam, many of which do not feature in traditional telecom-based voice calls and SMS,” Nasscom said in its written submissions to the telecom regulator mid-October.

(Bloomberg) — UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has told ministers to seek savings in their departmental budgets, as Keir Starmer’s government grapples with tough choices on public spending against the backdrop of a difficult fiscal picture. Kicking off the government’s latest spending review — which will allocate budgets for 2026 onwards, and which is expected to conclude in June next year — Reeves said she would take an “iron fist” to waste and that she expected ministers to stop spending on areas that don’t contribute to the government’s main priorities. “We will inspect every pound of government spend so that it goes to the right places,” Reeves said in an e-mailed statement from the Treasury. “By totally rewiring how the government spends money, we will be able to deliver our ‘Plan for Change’ and focus on what matters for working people.” The spending review is another politically tricky moment for Starmer, who faced a backlash from his own cabinet at the last spending round in October when ministers pushed back on allocations that they felt were too miserly. This review is set to be even tougher because Reeves has only allocated an average 1.3% real terms increase in overall departmental spending for the period, meaning ministries outside of priority areas like health, education and defence are likely to face cuts. Reeves will tell departments that they “cannot operate in a business-as-usual way” and that their spending plans will be subject to a “line-by-line review,” according to the Treasury statement. The government’s priority areas for spending include boosting economic growth, fixing the National Health Service, fighting crime and investing in clean energy, the statement said. Another pressure impacting the spending review is the government’s tight fiscal position, which gives Reeves little room for maneuver. Some economists predict that the Office for Budget Responsibility, the government’s official forecaster, will say that Reeves is on course to breach her main fiscal rule when it delivers its next set of fiscal forecasts in the spring, due to a deterioration in the public finances linked to higher borrowing costs and a weaker growth outlook. Should that occur, Reeves would seek to rectify the government’s position through spending cuts, people familiar with the matter have said. Further complicating matters is that Starmer and Reeves have promised to set out a timeline for when the government will spend 2.5% of GDP on defence, and Reeves has warned that hitting that target would mean eating into other departments’ budgets. Speaking at the CBI’s annual conference last month, Reeves said that the overall spending envelope had been set for this Parliament and that ministers would have to live within their means. She also said she wouldn’t be coming back with more borrowing or more taxes, after her controversial first budget hiked levies by more than £40 billion ($51 billion) and spurred a wave of criticism from businesses.Games Workshop is now worth £4.6billion with shares rising by almost 50 per cent in the past year

"For meaningful, lasting, and positive change that enhances human longevity worldwide, we must collectively focus on three pillars: precision, preventive, and predictive medicine," Al Nowais said, underscoring the need to establish a sustainable healthcare model that detects diseases early, before symptoms appear. "This requires adopting artificial intelligence, genomic science, and fostering collaborations across various levels." Al Nowais highlighted M42's innovations in AI- and genomics-based solutions, which are driving transformative healthcare advancements and improving preventive and personalised care. Key innovations include the open-source, large clinical language model "Med42" and the AI-powered "AIRIS-TB" system, which conducts 2,000 chest X-rays daily to combat tuberculosis. This marks a significant leap in diagnostic capacity compared to traditional methods, which handle only 200 examinations in the region. He also noted that AI integration extends to endoscopic procedures, enhancing the accuracy of detecting abnormalities and early signs of cancer. Al Nowais highlighted the group's Omics Centre of Excellence, which advances genomic research, including the UAE Genome Programme, paving the way for precision medicine and proactive health management in the UAE.

Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill says the province has hired two consultants from Ontario and Nova Scotia to look at reports of misconduct over the last two years. Cockrill says the review is also to examine allegations of racism, but he declined to share details. Last year, 10 foreign-trained doctors in Regina alleged racism from hospital leadership. The doctors also filed a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.
