3DMark has just added support for the newest AMD FSR 2 feature test that lets you compare GPU performance and visuals side-by-side. The company already had the DLSS 3 feature set released in its benchmark suite. UL Benchmark's 3DMark Gets AMD FSR 2 Feature Test Featuring FiedlityFX Super Resolution 2.2 Press Release: Today, March 30th, 2023, we’re thrilled to release a new feature test for the AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) upscaling technology. The new 3DMark AMD FSR feature test using FSR 2.2 is now available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. RELATED STORY Hassan Mujtaba 3DMark AMD FSR 2 Feature Tests Let’s You Compare Performance & Visuals, Powered By FSR 2.2 3DMark AMD FSR feature test 3DMark feature tests are specialized for specific technologies. The AMD FSR feature test helps you compare the performance and image quality of AMD FSR 2 technology with a traditional rendering approach using Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA). The feature test also includes the 3DMark frame inspector tool, letting you compare image quality with an interactive side-by-side comparison of FSR and native-resolution rendering. See an example comparison below of the AMD FSR feature test using traditional rendering and TAA, and the same frame using AMD FSR technology. Comparing FSR performance and visual fidelity with the AMD FSR feature test The test renders a scene from Speed Way twice to show the effect AMD’s FSR 2 technology has on performance and image quality. To make the 3DMark FSR feature test compatible with all FSR 2-supported graphics cards, DirectX 12 Ultimate features such as DirectX Raytracing are disabled. The first run measures baseline performance by rendering the scene with TAA at the desired output resolution. The second run renders the scene at a lower resolution, then uses the selected FSR quality mode to upscale frames to the desired output resolution. Use the frame inspector tool for close-up comparisons The 3DMark frame inspector tool provides an easy way to compare the image quality of each FSR 2 Quality Mode with native-resolution rendering. It generates a series of frames displayed side-by-side for comparison. There are controls to pan around and zoom in up to 32× for a close inspection of the two techniques’ differences. link: https://wccftech.com/3dmark-amd-fsr-2-feature-tests-lets-you-compare-performance-visuals-powered-by-fsr-2-2/

Ultrahandy A recent gameplay demonstration for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, revealed a host of new mechanics for the upcoming game. I never thought that Tears of the Kingdom would let me build a hovercraft, but boy is it a pleasant surprise. Over the course of the 13-minute gameplay trailer, Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma revealed several tantalizing new features which seem poised to take Tears of the Kingdom’s open-world gameplay to the next level. In his upcoming adventure, set to release May 12th on Nintendo Switch, Link will be able to Fuse items together to create inventive new weapons. He’ll also be able to use his new Ultrahand ability to cobble together vehicles and items out of objects in the game world. Lastly, the Ascend and Recall abilities have been added to Link’s repertoire, allowing him to more easily traverse the world. The crafting options afforded by the Ultrahand feature are particularly intriguing. In the gameplay trailer, we see Link cobble together a raft and a hovercraft. Aonuma also explained that the stills of vehicles from the previous trailer also depicted crafted vehicles. It would seem that players will be able to fashion hot air balloons and even cars out of the game’s range of interactable objects. The trailer also showed off the Fuse system, whereby Link can combine objects in the game world to forge makeshift weapons, sometimes with powerful effects. For instance: by attaching a large stone to a stick, Link was able to create a deadly mace. Some of the combinations, like the shield and puffshroom, look extremely promising. Honing your craft Breath of the Wild offered Zelda fans an unprecedented open-world experience that meaningfully innovated on the series’ established formula. In this latest Tears of the Kingdom trailer, it looks as though Nintendo is attempting to push the envelope once again, by embracing an experimental and innovative crafting system more reminiscent of Minecraft than traditional Zelda titles. The trailer heavily implies that the world of Tears of the Kingdom is full of building blocks that a creative player can harness to their advantage. In the right (ultra)hands, a series of fallen logs can become a boat and a mushroom can become a deadly combat implement. It may seem silly, but Zelda games have always been about fostering creative solutions to problems, be they puzzles or monsters. Tears of the Kingdom seems to be taking this emphasis on player agency to its logical conclusion. There are limitations on the new crafting mechanics, however. Savvy viewers will notice the appearance of a battery gauge when Link builds his fan boat during the trailer. It would appear that Tears of the Kingdom’s vehicles can’t run indefinitely. Though this may disappoint some players, it’s important to remember that, without meaningful constraints, these kinds of mechanics are at risk of undermining a game’s balance. I was also pleased to see the arrival of the Ascend feature, which looks to be a much welcome quality of life improvement. No longer will players have to trudge their way out of dark caves. Instead, Link can just jump through the ceiling. It’s a neat traversal mechanic, and I’m excited to see where it leads. All in all, Tears of the Kingdom seems to be attempting to meaningfully iterate on the Zelda formula, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where these new iterations will lead us. link: https://www.techradar.com/news/legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-lets-you-build-a-literal-hovercraft

A new Penny skin is coming to the Fortnite Item Shop during Spring Breakout, but plenty more can be yours for free with event challenges. The Fortnite Spring Breakout is now live, bringing with it a bouquet of free rewards, challenges, unvaulted weapons, and even a new skin for fan-favorite character Penny. With a daily dose of new Spring Breakout quests and half a dozen rewards to unlock through play without spending a single V-Buck, here's everything you need to know about Spring Breakout 2023. Fortnite Spring Breakout challenges Epic has taken a liking to the daily rollout of event challenges as of late, and it's continuing that trend with the new springtime event. Each morning at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, a new Spring Breakout challenge will be added. We'll update this list each morning to reflect that. When they're tricky quests, you'll even find links here to guides to help you complete them without hassle. There will be 14 quests in total and they'll disappear on April 11. Visit cherry blossom displays (3) Spring Breakout rewards and cosmetics For completing most of the Spring Breakout challenges, you'll earn XP toward your Chapter 4 Season 2 battle pass. However, four of the challenges will grant you new cosmetics instead. On days 1, 7, 9, and 14, the related challenges will grant you a bundle of hopping new rewards shown below. They include: Day 1 Quest’s Reward: Bloomback Sack back bling Day 7 Quest’s Reward: Shell Smash spray Day 9 Quest’s Reward: The Works loading screen Day 14 Quest’s Reward: A Spring Breakout banner icon Additional Spring Challenge Quests are available too, and earning milestones with these will net you two more items that go great with the back bling above. For finishing 12 Spring Challenge Quests, you'll get the Nannerbloom Hammer pickaxe, and completing 22 total will later get you the Spring Flyer glider. Of course, for many people, the highlight will be the new Item Shop skins. Epic hasn't revealed all of those yet, but one new skin can be seen in the promo image for Spring Breakout, and it's none other than Penny, one of the fan-favorite characters from Save The World who has, on rare occasions, been sold outside of Fortnite's forgotten mode. A new Penny dressed up in a bunny costume, is sure to become an immediate must-buy for many players. Look for the skin to go on sale during Spring Breakout 2023, perhaps among other themed skins, too. Gameplay changes Like any Fortnite event, the island will look and behave a bit differently for Spring Breakout. Naturally, the Egg Launcher weapon is returning once more and can be instantly acquired with the Springtime Blowout augment. It acts like a grenade launcher, only it launches colorful eggs at enemies that explode after a moment. New versions of color-coded chickens can be seen roaming the island too, and they'll each include special loot. Heal Eggs: Green eggs that restore your health and shield slowly over time. Hop Eggs: Blue eggs that temporarily grant you a low-gravity effect and also give you health. Golden Eggs: Gold (obviously) eggs that grant you gold bars. Alongside the limited-time Springtime Blowout augment mentioned above, several more augments are being added for the duration of the season. They include: Rail Warrior: Regenerate health and partial shield while on grind rails or ziplines, except while in the storm Go For Broke: Grants a Charge Shotgun and Flintknock Pistol Aquatic Warrior: Move faster and regenerate health and partial shield while swimming, except while in the storm Game Time: Grants Pizza Party item and Chug Splash item NPCs are also being added and fit into class types known as Specialists: Scout, Heavy, Supply, and Medical. Scout Specialists are great snipers and can ping enemies and chests. Heavies can take more damage than other NPCs and carry an explosive-centric inventory. Supply Specialists drop ammo for you and your squad. In modes with building enabled, they also drop building materials. Medical Specialists, heal you with Chug Splash. These NPCs and more will now be shown on the map in-game, making it easier to locate them--and given that they sound more useful than past NPCs for hire, that should help you spring into victory during this two-week event. link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-spring-breakout-event-2023-challenges-rewards-and-new-skins/1100-6512769/

Anvil Empires will begin pre-alpha testing in April. Foxhole(opens in new tab) developer Siege Camp has unveiled a new project called Anvil Empires(opens in new tab) that promises to let players take part in massive medieval battles of up to 1,000 people at a time in an open-world sandbox "with no safe zones or other artificial barriers to combat." The game takes place in the fantasy realm of Calligo, a persistent world in which three "desperate alliances" exist in a constant state of war. The continent contains an array of different landscapes and dangerous creatures, as well as "dark secrets" of indeterminate types for players to discover. Medieval warfare is about more than just clubbing people in the face with heavy objects: You're not going to do very well if you don't have your supply situation nailed down. To that end, players will also have to build and grow settlements, trade with friendly neighbours and raid enemy bases, build supply and siege camps, and maintain the logistical lines to keep the army fed and fighting. Siege Camp (the studio, that is) says the in-game economies are "completely driven by players," with settlements capable of growing to support hundreds of players at once. All of that will take place separately from the battles (but simultaneously, and in the same world), and will work on an even larger scale. "Anvil Empires is targeted to support a thousand players within a dense battle and many more thousands across a large persistent online world," the studio said on Steam(opens in new tab). "Many massively played PvP games either support a small number of combatants on the same dense battlefield or a large number of players spread out across a large map. In Anvil Empires, the goal is to support the best of both, with up to a thousand players marching shoulder to shoulder in a dense environment." This scale is enabled by Siege Camp's R2 Engine, which Siege Camp says "supports up to a thousand players in a dense environment and tens of thousands of simulated and replicated entities in a large world." The engine has been in development for some years now, and in fact a large-scale tech demo of the engine took place way back in 2019. "This isn't a miracle technology that 'just works', but takes a practical approach to meet Anvil Empire's novel design requirements," Siege Camp said. "The technology will contend with real world constraints like bandwidth and the limits of modern day server CPU performance, but will overcome them by taking advantage of parallel processing, modern day network replication techniques, and application specific optimization." It sounds very ambitious, but Siege Camp was able to pull it off with Foxhole, a World War 2 MMO that went into full release(opens in new tab) in 2022 after five years in early access. It too relies heavily on logistics for success, and unlike most other games, manages to make non-combat supporting roles fulfilling. "Amazingly, the distribution of players between frontline fighters and blue collar factory workers is balanced," staff writer Morgan Park wrote in his September 2022(opens in new tab) impressions of Foxhole. "I've played a few military sims, including FPSes like Squad, where logistic (or 'logi') roles go mostly ignored by players who'd all rather be shooting guns than driving trucks back and forth. That's not the case in the persistent world of Foxhole, probably because the logi part of the game is just as deep as the frontline." There's no sign of a release date for Anvil Empires at this point, but it's fair to assume that it's a long way off. Siege Camp described it as "an incredibly complex game that will require a lot of experimentation and iteration to get right," and said that, like Foxhole, it's going to take a lot of iteration and live playtesting to get right. To get the wheels turning on that process, a free pre-alpha test is set to begin in April. Siege Camp warned that "only a small subset of foundational features will be in place," and said players will need "a high tolerance for playing early development builds with bugs and incomplete features." But if you're cool with all that, you can sign up for the action on the Anvil Empires Discord server(opens in new tab). link: https://www.pcgamer.com/the-foxhole-devs-are-making-a-medieval-warfare-mmo-that-supports-1000s-of-players-at-once/

Humza Yousaf's first question session in the Scottish Parliament has been hit by a series of disruptions from climate protesters. The public gallery in the Holyrood chamber was eventually cleared after the session had to be suspended five times in the first 15 minutes. A party of school children who had been watching were later allowed to return. The interruptions have been an almost weekly occurrence during recent First Minister's Questions. The parliament's presiding officer Alison Johnstone has pledged to take action to stop them, with mobile phones already having been banned in the gallery. Robison replaces Kate Forbes in new Scottish cabinet Who is Humza Yousaf, Scotland's new first minister The first suspension of proceedings came before Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross had even managed to ask his first question to Mr Yousaf, who was sworn in as Nicola Sturgeon's successor as first minister on Wednesday. There were then a series of further interruptions during Mr Ross's exchanges with Mr Yousaf, with the presiding officer eventually calling on police and court officials to remove the public from the gallery. Ms Johnstone said: "I don't think I can adequately express my deep regret that such action is required in our national parliament. "I'm extremely sorry for the overwhelming majority of those who have travelled to the parliament today to watch their elected representatives at work." She also told MSPs that work was under way "on a range of measures that may be implemented to protect parliamentary business from persistent disruption". After one group of schoolchildren was allowed to remain in the gallery, SNP MSP Stuart McMillan asked that another school group from his constituency also be allowed to return - prompting a further suspension. Mr Yousaf told the presiding officer he agreed with her decision to clear the gallery, and praised the school pupils for "behaving much better than some of the adults that were in the public gallery". Mr Ross blasted the protesters, saying: "This shower have been doing this week after week, and the image of genuine constituents being forced out of our parliament is one we will all regret and one none of us want to see repeated." He said he was grateful that schoolchildren had been permitted to remain, but added: "We must do something to stop this going forward." Protests have become a regular feature of FMQs in recent months, but today might have been a new record with FIVE inside the first set of questions. Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone told MSPs that there are plans to try to crack down on this. But they chiefly consist of banning the use of mobile phones in the chamber and it is not clear if they will have a decisive effect. Indeed given the protests consist entirely of people shouting, it's difficult to think of a foolproof method to actually prevent them. The public gallery has been cleared for today. The absolute last resort would be to bar people from sitting there at all - something which the parliamentary authorities will be loathe to consider, given that transparent scrutiny is the whole point of Holyrood. Presentational grey line The session followed three days of ceremony and procedure since Mr Yousaf's election as SNP leader on Monday. He won the backing of the majority of MSPs to become first minister on Tuesday before being sworn in at the Court of Session on Wednesday. He has named a nine-strong cabinet team, with his new deputy Shona Robison taking over the finance brief from Kate Forbes. Six of the nine cabinet members are women and there are five members under 40. Ms Forbes, who was narrowly defeated by Mr Yousaf in the leadership contest, refused to move from her role as finance secretary to rural affairs - which would generally be seen as a demotion - and is now sitting as a backbench MSP. Mr Yousaf's appointments came under fire from Mr Ross, who described his team as a "cabinet of lackeys". Mr Ross pointed out that key ministerial posts relating to tourism and social security were abolished while Mr Yousaf had appointed a new minister for independence. "It's the same old from the SNP, another nationalist leader, when Scotland needs a national leader," he told the chamber. And he questioned whether having a minister for independence was a priority for the people of Scotland. Mr Yousaf said he made no apology for having a minister focused on independence, saying it was now more important than ever for Scotland to leave the UK. In his question to Mr Yousaf, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar focused on Scotland's mental health crisis, saying that more than 11,000 children and young people waited more than the 18-week standard and over 14,000 had referrals rejected entirely. Mr Yousaf said Mr Sarwar did not acknowledge the global impact of the Covid pandemic, but offered an apology and "deep regret" for anyone who had to wait longer than they should. He added that the Scottish government was taking action on recovery and the number of children starting treatment in the most recent quarter was the highest figure on record. The first minister said the overall mental health treatment waiting lists for young people had decreased by about 777, while the number of children waiting more than 18 weeks had dropped by 1,110. He added that there had been a 41.9% drop in the number waiting more than 52 weeks. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-65123723

Some of the oldest dinosaurs didn't have hollow bones, suggesting that skeletal air sacs evolved independently in three lineages: long-necked sauropodomorphs, meat-eating theropods and pterosaurs. Air sacs sandwiched inside the bones of the largest dinosaurs and pterosaurs to roam the Earth were so advantageous that these pockets might have evolved independently at least three times in different lineages, a new study finds. Researchers already knew that these ancient giants had air bubbles in their bones. Now, evidence that some of the earliest dinosaurs on record lacked these air sacs suggests that they sprouted later, through convergent evolution, a phenomenon in which different organisms independently evolve similar traits. Pterosaurs, meat-eating theropods and long-necked sauropods belong to a group of ancient reptiles called the avemetatarsalians, which are more closely related to present-day birds than to crocodiles. These three lineages evolved air-filled pockets in their bones, which kept their skeletons light and nimble. Without these structures, the beasts couldn't have grown so large or kept cool in the warm climate of the Triassic period (252 million to 201 million years ago). "Less dense bones containing more air gave the dinosaurs and pterosaurs more oxygen circulating in their blood, as well as more agility to hunt, flee and fight, or even to fly," study first author Tito Aureliano(opens in new tab), a researcher at the Institute of Geosciences at the University of Campinas in Brazil, said in a statement(opens in new tab). "They not only used less energy but also kept their bodies cool more efficiently." Related: Ginormous Jurassic fossil in Portugal may be the biggest dinosaur ever found in Europe Now, fresh evidence suggests that some of the oldest avemetatarsalians didn't have air sacs, which means that their relatives may have evolved hollow bones independently of one another. In the study, published Dec. 9, 2022, in the journal Scientific Reports(opens in new tab), researchers analyzed 233 million-year-old fossils from three early dinosaur species — the sauropodomorphs Buriolestes schultzi and Pampadromaeus barberenai and the meat-eater Gnathovorax cabreirai — that are among the "oldest good material" from sauropod dinosaurs and meat-eating herrerasaurid dinosaurs, Paul Barrett(opens in new tab), a paleobiologist at the Natural History Museum in London who peer-reviewed the study, told Live Science. "It shows that these complicated air sacs systems, in at least one branch of dinosaurs, only started to become really invasive [permeate the bones] much later in their evolutionary history than in the other two groups of reptiles that developed those systems," Barrett said. The researchers made detailed micro-CT scans of the bones — unearthed between 2011 and 2019 in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state — and detected small spaces in the vertebrae that could have housed blood vessels and marrow, but not air sacs. The new study may help determine whether air sacs in sauropods, theropods and pterosaurs have the same evolutionary origin from a common ancestor, or whether they all achieved it independently through convergent evolution. "What this study is suggesting is that those three groups may have achieved air sacs independently, because when we look at the earliest members of at least one of those groups, there's no good evidence for the air sacs," Barrett said. A 2021 study(opens in new tab) suggested that ornithischians — a group of bird-hipped dinosaurs that lived in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods (201 million to 66 million years ago) and breathed like weirdos — also lacked air sacs, despite sharing an ancestor with dinosaurs that developed air sacs. But the story of how air sacs evolved is riddled with uncertainties, according to Barrett. "Not all air sacs are in bones — some of those air sacs we know from living animals actually go between muscles and around organs," he said. "It might be that they all share air sacs and the air sacs are in their common ancestor, but they didn't leave any traces on the bone." The fact that the researchers didn't find traces of air sacs in the oldest avemetatarsalians "still doesn't rule out that they might have had one that the fossils simply aren't telling us about," Barrett said. It may be that these ancient reptiles had air bubbles in their soft tissue that later penetrated the skeleton, an adaptation which lives on in birds today. link: https://www.livescience.com/hollow-bones-in-giant-dinosaurs-and-pterosaurs-show-convergent-evolution-in-action-fossil-study-suggests

The mid-size sedan features full-width LED lighting elements front and rear and a new curved display inside. The four-cylinder and hybrid powertrains carry over from before. Hyundai is updating the Sonata for 2024 with a striking new exterior design. The interior is also thoroughly updated and features new display screens. We expect the Sonata to go on sale in the U.S. later this year. UPDATE 3/30/23: Hyundai has provided more details on the 2024 Sonata, including about its carryover powertrain lineup that includes a 2.5-liter inline-four, a hybrid, and a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four for the N Line model. We have updated the story accordingly. Hyundai is restyling the Sonata mid-size sedan with a new look that falls in line with other recent redesigns such as the Kona crossover, the Staria van, and the Grandeur sedan. It looks surprisingly different from the outgoing Sonata that first launched for the 2020 model year, and the new face is particularly futuristic. The full-width LED light strip stretching across the front is immediately noticeable, and the grille and headlights are reshaped. Out back, the taillights incorporate a similar light strip and the lower fascia looks more aggressive than before. Hyundai showed both the standard car and the sportier N Line model, and both have new wheel designs as well. The N Line has 19-inchers, plus a rear spoiler and dual exhaust tips. There are new colors, too, including hues called Biophilic Blue Pearl, Ultimate Red Metallic, and Cream Beige. The changes inside center around two large 12.3-inch screens that are now housed in a single curved display binnacle. Certain dashboard components such as the climate controls are also rearranged, and the materials appear to be an upgrade compared with before. The steering wheel is also new, and the gearshift is relocated to the steering column to free up space in the center console. Hyundai also says it has made body reinforcements meant to improve noise, vibration, and harshness isolation. The only significant change to the Sonata's powertrain lineup is that the optional turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four has been dropped. Otherwise, it will comprise the same naturally aspirated 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four in the base car, a 290-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four for the N Line, and a 192-hp hybrid setup. Full specs aren't out yet, but expect these horsepower numbers to stay roughly the same for the 2024 model. Hyundai will reveal more details about the car soon, and U.S. specs should come within the next few months link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43413123/2024-hyundai-sonata-revealed/

It’s kind to take your mother’s feelings into account, says advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith. But the wedding is for the people getting married I am a 37-year-old woman, engaged to my partner of six years. We are due to get married in September in an already pared-down wedding day (we cancelled our original plans when I realised how anxious and unhappy the idea of the “big day” was making me). Now, even though we have planned a small “big day” I am still feeling nervous. I think I want to elope – an idea my fiance is very much on board with. What’s stopping me is the thought of my mum’s hurt and disappointment if she doesn’t get to see her one daughter get married. I have a complicated relationship with my mum which I have worked through in therapy and am now at peace with. However, as one of three children who have all “disappointed” her in some way, I feel I carry the responsibility to do this one thing for her. Earlier this year I told her I wasn’t going to have children – a hard decision and hard to tell her. Her disappointment was palpable. I feel by eloping I may be being selfish. Should I scrap my desire to elope to spare mum’s feelings? Eleanor says: I’m so struck by the way you feel you carry responsibility. One of the powerful things about other people’s expectations is how worm their way into our minds. It’s all very well to say “do what you want!”, but sometimes you find you can’t enjoy the things you want when you know someone else would disapprove. When you look at your own choices, you see them partly through others’ eyes. This is why disappointment is such a powerful constrainer: eventually, it stops being just an external imposition – we learn to enforce it on ourselves. I think it’s really worth treating your wedding as an opportunity to see your choices through your own eyes. The empty chair, Hendrik Valkenburg, 1876. I’m a little over 50 and in a long-term situationship. How might I change the situation? Or leave? Read more After all, the wedding is the beginning, not the end. If everything goes to plan, your wedding day is the first day of an arrangement that will last the rest of your life. That puts a big premium on starting as you mean to go on: feeling present for your partner, showing up in a way that makes you feel like yourself, establishing precedent for how you plan to treat each other and make decisions together. You deserve to feel big on your wedding day. Marriages aren’t peace treaties or power alliances any more. As my grandfather, married for 50 years, once told me: the wedding is for the people getting married. I wonder whether there’s a way to serve all those goals while also making your mum feel included. It sounds like you’re pretty clear what you’d do if she weren’t a factor: you’d elope. But since she is a factor, it’s kind to take her into account, and there are all manner of things that might complicate the decision to proceed as though she weren’t in the background – for instance you might find you spent that precious day feeling anticipatory guilt. So is there a way to make her feel included – and discharge the responsibility you carry – without losing the core of what you want? Could you say that you’d like to elope, but you’d like to invite her to a special dinner beforehand, something where she can make a toast and get to be mother of the bride? Could she be digitally present? I don’t usually think implied deception is a good solution, but could you elope first so that you were in fact already legally married, and then have a “celebration of our union” party for friends and family? Don’t forget, too, that her disapproval might be worse in imagination than in real life. It might be that she’s taken aback or disappointed at first, but can eventually come around: it’s important not to let our worst fears of peoples’ reactions govern us before we’ve actually seen what those reactions are. You’re right to want to take your mum’s feelings into account – to a certain extent. But no one, not even her, could rationally ask that you do so at the expense of your own. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/mar/31/i-want-to-elope-should-i-scrap-my-desire-to-spare-my-mums-feelings

US journalist Evan Gershkovich has been arrested in Russia and accused of spying while working for the Wall Street Journal. An experienced Russia reporter, he was working in the city of Yekaterinburg at the time of his detention. The White House has condemned his detention "in the strongest terms". The Kremlin claimed he had been caught "red-handed" but the Wall Street Journal vehemently denied the allegations against him. Mr Gershkovich, 31, is well known among foreign correspondents in Moscow and BBC Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg describes him as an excellent reporter and a highly principled journalist. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken echoed the Wall Street Journal in saying he was "deeply concerned" by the arrest. US officials said they had immediately sought access to Mr Gershkovich but had not had any response. The WSJ said its reporter had dropped out of contact with his editors while working in Yekaterinburg, about 1,600km (1,000 miles) east of Moscow, on Wednesday afternoon. US officials said Mr Gershkovich's driver had dropped him off at a restaurant and two hours later his phone had been turned off. The newspaper said it had hired a lawyer to try to find him at the FSB headquarters in the city, but they told the lawyer they had no information. Russia's FSB security service claimed that it had halted "illegal activities". The journalist had been detained "acting on US instructions", it added, alleging that he had "collected information classified as a state secret about the activities of a Russian defence enterprise". It said its investigation department had launched a criminal espionage case and one source told Russian media it was classed as "top secret". FSB agents took him to Lefortovo district court in Moscow on Friday, where he was formally arrested and ordered to remain in detention until 29 May. Russian media said the court had already been cleared of staff and visitors and Mr Gershkovich's lawyer said he had not been allowed into the courtroom. Espionage in Russia carries a maximum jail term of 20 years. Tass news agency reported that the journalist had denied the charge. He was then seen being escorted from the building before being driven away. In his most recent WSJ piece, published this week, Evan Gershkovich reported on Russia's declining economy and how the Kremlin was having to deal with "ballooning military expenditures" while maintaining social spending. Press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders said he had gone to Yekaterinburg to cover Russian mercenary group Wagner, which has taken part in some of the heaviest fighting in eastern Ukraine. He has covered Russia for the Wall Street Journal for more than a year, having worked there previously for the AFP news agency and the Moscow Times. He began his career in the US. In a statement, the Wall Street Journal said it stood in solidarity with the reporter and his family: "The Wall Street Journal vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, Evan Gershkovich." "This is the responsibility of the FSB, they have already issued a statement," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "The only thing I can add is, as far as we know, he was caught red-handed." Even before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, reporting from Russia had become increasingly difficult. Independent journalists were labelled "foreign agents" and BBC Russia correspondent Sarah Rainsford was expelled from the country. When the war began, Russia introduced a criminal offence for reporting "fake news" or "discrediting the army", under which dozens of Russians have been convicted for criticising the invasion on social media. Almost all independent media were silenced, shut down or blocked, including major outlets TV Rain, Echo of Moscow radio and newspaper Novaya Gazeta. Many Western media chose to leave Russia. Russian political expert Tatyana Stanovaya said Mr Gershkovich's detention had come as a shock. In the FSB's view of espionage, "collecting information" could simply mean gathering comments from experts, she said, while acting on US instructions could simply refer to his editors at the Wall Street Journal. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said what a Wall Street Journal employee was doing in Yekaterinburg had "nothing to do with journalism". It was not the first time the status of "foreign correspondent" had been used to "cover up activities that are not journalism", she said. Tensions between the Kremlin and the West have become increasingly tense in the 13 months of Russia's war in Ukraine. Reporters Without Borders said it was "alarmed by what looks like retaliation". Several US citizens are being held in Russia. Days before the invasion, American basketball star Brittney Griner was detained at a Moscow airport and jailed for carrying cannabis oil. It was 10 months before she was freed in exchange for notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told local news agencies that it was too early to discuss prisoner swaps. "I would not even put the question in this plane now, because you understand that some exchanges that happened in the past took place for people who were already serving sentences," he said. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65121885

Morocco imports 76% of its arms from the US. Rabat - India is eager to boost its military exports to Africa, including Morocco, with the country seeking to position itself as a “reliable” security partner for countries in the Global South. The Asian country presented on Wednesday its locally produced helicopter, drones, and artillery to military officials from many countries across Africa, including Morocco, in a bid to pitch its “affordable production” to potential buyers. India’s military displayed several military equipment, including helicopters, armored vehicles, and bomb disposal robots during a simulated operation in Pune, an area in western India, according to AFP. “We are making equipment which is affordable and reliable,” AFP quoted retired Indian army general VG Pantakar as saying. India is eager to position itself among the largest exporters of arms. India topped the list of the 40 largest importers of arms in 2022, according to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Russia is India’s main supplier with 45%, followed by France (29%), and the US (11%). The five largest arms importers between 2018 and 2022 were India, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, and China. Meanwhile, the top five largest arms exporters were the US, Russia, France, China, and Germany. Morocco is among the African countries that continue to upgrade its military equipment. The North African country has been diversifying its security partners, but continues to import most of its arms from the US. According to the SIPRI report, Morocco imports 76% of its arms from the US, followed by France with 15% and China with 6.8 %. © Morocco World News. All Rights Reserved.
