Palestinian militant group Hamas claimed Wednesday to have released an Israeli woman and her two children it said had been detained during fighting with Israeli forces, but Israeli television networks rejected the announcement. The Israeli army when contacted said it was checking the claim. "An Israeli settler and her two children were released after they were detained during the clashes," Ezzedine al-Qassem Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement referring to the group's brutal assault on Israel on Saturday.A video footage aired by Hamas television Al-Aqsa network showed a woman dressed in a blue shirt with two children in a barbed wired area that appeared to be between Israel and the Gaza Strip, while three Hamas fighters are seen walking away.The footage did not show any military personnel receiving the three, and the clip appeared to have been filmed in daylight. AFP could not verify the authenticity of the footage independently. Israeli television channels rejected Hamas's claim, saying the woman and the two children were never taken to the Gaza Strip by Hamas fighters after they launched the deadly assault. The channels identified the woman as Avital Aladjem, a resident of kibbutz Holit, who had told in a series of interviews this week that she had been taken by force by Hamas militants along with two children of her neighbour to a border area between Israel and the Gaza Strip. She then said that a group of fighters later let her go with the children. Around 150 people were taken hostage by Hamas during Saturday's assault, according to Israeli officials. Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com No official release of hostages held by Hamas have so far occurred.

Apple’s biggest event of the year, WWDC 2023, is just around the corner. Happening on June 5, this edition will be focused on both software and hardware, where the company is likely to demonstrate the features and capabilities of iOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS 14 to the world. Furthermore, the company is also reported to unveil a plethora of hardware products, including its first mixed reality headset, a 15-inch MacBook Air, Mac Pro, and a lot more at its annual developers’ conference. Let’s take a look at some of the prominent hardware products that could go official at WWDC 2023. Apple’s seven years of hard work might finally come to fruition with the launch of its first mixed-reality headset at WWDC 2023. While the company has never really confirmed its existence in any way, a lot of leaks and speculations do hint towards Apple’s next big product — RealityPro.Apple’s RealityPro is reported to be a premium device, costing upwards of $3000 and is said to be one of the most advanced wearables. It is even reported to include two high-resolution 4K screens, cutting-edge Apple Silicon, 12 GB of RAM, 512 GB of internal storage, and is said to run on the new xrOS with support for iPad apps.The device is also said to deliver both AR and VR experiences with an option to seamlessly switch between the two. Additionally, reports also indicate that Apple has constructed a special experience zone at Apple Park to demonstrate the features and capabilities of the RealityPro headset post the unveil. The new 15-inch MacBook Air is likely to be another important hardware announcement that Apple could make at WWDC 2023. Since its origin, the MacBook Air has always been a small and compact notebook and is also one of the most po[CENSORED]r Macs across the world, and Apple could finally showcase the biggest MacBook Air boasting a 15-inch screen at WWDC 2023.In terms of form factor, the 15-inch MacBook Air is said to resemble the current M2 MacBook Air and is likely to offer similar features and capabilities and is said to be powered by the same M2 processor. With a bigger display and possibly a slightly larger battery, the 15-inch MacBook Air is likely to offer more performance and battery life when compared to the current models, and it could also carry a slightly more expensive price tag. When Apple originally announced the Mac Studio, it took everyone by storm by offering desktop computer-like performance in a compact form factor. The upcoming Mac Studio is likely to take the performance envelope to the next level with M2 Max and M2 Ultra processors with up to 24 CPU cores, 60 GPU cores, and up to 192 GB of unified memory, which could easily make it the most po[CENSORED]r mini-sized computer. Again, in terms of form factor, the Mac Studio is likely to resemble its predecessors, with performance being the primary differentiator. Apple has even confirmed a trade-in program for the Mac Studio, which further indicates that the new Mac Studio is on its way.Mac Pro is another ambitious product from Apple, and it is also the last Mac that is yet to receive an Apple Silicon makeover. Earlier reports suggested that Apple is working on an M2 Extreme chip. However, more recent reports indicate that the Mac Pro might feature an M2 Ultra processor. Unlike the Mac Studio with Apple Silicon, the Mac Pro is likely to get support for user-expandable storage and memory. https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/hardware-products-that-apple-could-announce-at-wwdc-2023-8644788/

October's here, and this spooky season we're facing the greatest terror of all: too many new games. It's been a stampede of big releases since August, and fall seems determined to keep filling our plates. We've got new entries in big franchises like Assassin's Creed Mirage, Cities Skylines 2 is on the horizon for self-appointed city builders, and Alan Wake 2's closing out the month with some horror just in time for Halloween.We might be entering the year's last quarter, we're in the age of game delays no matter what month it is. Even as 2024 approaches, it'll be no surprise if a lot of these games get their release dates knocked back for some extra polish. If they're lucky, it'll just be one delay. Not all of them are lucky. Still, while release dates are always tentative nowadays, 2023 has already shaped up to be a huge year—particularly for RPGs. A lot of major releases and long-in-the-works sequels are targeting this year: June launched us into a frenzy of demonslaying in Diablo 4, Baldur's Gate 3 emerges from early access its August full release, and Starfield's sending us spaceward to kick off September.The last few months in 2023 have felt like a back-to-back parade of huge releases, and we've still got more to come. October's offering a bit of a gaming potpourri. You've got your stealthy murder sandbox with Assassin's Creed Mirage, you've got your urban planning in Cities: Skylines 2, you've got psychological horror with Alan Wake 2, and plenty more gameplay styles on offer besides. https://www.pcgamer.com/2023-games-new-upcoming/

The Conservatives are keen to boast about the diversity of their top team – but the party has never been seen as a natural home for Black voters. Can a small group of Black Tories change that? istory is unlikely to be kind to Kwasi Kwarteng’s 38-day tenure as Britain’s first Black chancellor. Almost overnight, his disastrous mini-budget tanked the economy, crashed the pound and sent interest rates soaring. Three weeks later, he was gone. But there is no denying the symbolic power of the brief moment last autumn when there were no white men occupying any of the four great offices of state. Kwarteng, who was born in east London to Ghanaian parents was the fourth consecutive person of colour to hold the post of chancellor. James Cleverly, whose mother hails from Sierra Leone, became the country’s first Black foreign secretary. Suella Braverman, the daughter of a Kenyan of Christian Goan origin and a Mauritian of Indian origin, was the third home secretary of colour in a row, while Kemi Badenoch, who was born in south-west London to Nigerian parents, became trade secretary. Perhaps most notable of all was that this new era of diversity at the top of government had been delivered not by Labour, the party traditionally seen as the natural home for minority voters, but by the Conservatives. In the wake of the fallout from his mini-budget, Kwarteng derided the opposition’s record on diversity. “If you look at the last 10 years, the Conservative party is much more ethnically diverse than the Labour party, and they lecture us on diversity. They lecture us on gender diversity when they’ve never had a female leader; we’ve had three female prime ministers,” he told the Mail on Sunday. “So, on gender, on race, on all of these things they think they own, they are failing and are backward, and the Conservative party is much more progressive.” We have to demonstrate that the Conservative party really is a broad church. You don’t have to agree with everything a prominent Black Tory says to find a home here Now, a formidable cabal of Conservative change-makers are working behind the scenes to ensure that Kwarteng will not be the last Black Conservative to clutch that iconic red box. Enter the 2022 Group, with its mission to transform the party in the eyes of Black voters. The name is a conscious echo of the powerful 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs who have the ability to determine a leader’s fate, and co-founder Samuel Kasumu, a quietly spoken but shrewd political operator who once worked as race adviser to Boris Johnson, hopes this project will be as influential and enduring. “Are we going to have future prime ministers come through this group? Are we going to be able to make sure that the Conservatives become a party of choice for British African and Caribbeans through this group? I think the answer is yes,” he says. I first meet Kasumu 11 days before Kwarteng is sacked, at the launch of the 2022 Group. It is perhaps the liveliest corner of an otherwise bleak Tory conference. Economic turmoil, infighting and dire polling mean there is little to laugh about. But in this bland function room at Birmingham’s Hyatt Regency hotel, the exuberance is contagious, and even hotel staff pile on to the dancefloor as a DJ wraps up to Montell Jordan’s hip-hop classic This Is How We Do It. “Though there are difficult times ahead, this group was set up with the future in mind, so we have a lot to be optimistic about,” says Kasumu, 35. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jan/07/new-black-tories-labour-doesnt-seem-to-understand-how-its-happening

With the purpose of bringing the coastal flora in danger of conservation closer to the community, thus increasing the knowledge and appreciation that people can attribute to these endemic species of the Antofagasta Region, demonstration urban gardens were implemented in the communes of Tocopilla, Taltal and in the regional capital, within the framework of the study “Diagnosis and Conservation of the Coastal Flora of the Antofagasta Region.” This initiative has made it possible to study and diagnose the state of the vegetation in the area, as well as implement a pilot plan for the conservation, propagation and reintroduction of threatened species. In this sense, seeds of more than 100 species native to the coast of the region have been collected, which are being conserved long-term in the Inia seed bank to be used in case some of the species conserved there they become extinct. In addition, part of these seeds have been used to propagate plants (more than 60 species), generating more than 1,500, of which some have been reintroduced into their natural habitat and are currently being monitored to evaluate their survival. The other plants that were propagated have been donated for the creation of urban gardens in public spaces. The Seremi of the Environment, Gustavo Riveros, specified that “with the development of this study, we seek not only to conserve and recover the po[CENSORED]tions of coastal flora species with a high risk of extinction; "But we are also interested in bringing research closer to citizens and a very good way is through the implementation of these urban gardens." For her part, Carolina Pañitrur, project director and Manager of the Inia Base Seed Bank, stressed the importance of this activity. "The implementation of these urban gardens will bring the region's native flora closer to the community, increasing people's knowledge and appreciation of them." Urban gardens In Tocopilla, the space that was used to enable this urban garden corresponds to a sector in the Plaza Monumento Alexis Sánchez, where specimens of seven species were planted. Among them, Dalea azurea (Dalea), Dicliptera paposana (Dicliptera), Salvia tubiflora (Salvia), Haplopappus deserticola (Goat chub, bailahuén), Senna cumingii var. eremobia (Caper), Senna paposana (Paposo's Caper), Nolana lachimbensis (Sosa). The maintenance of the garden will be in charge of the Municipality of Tocopilla, through the person in charge of Environment, Cleanliness and Decoration, Yasset Egaña, who specified: “these demonstration gardens are framed in the thematic lines that we want to address, mainly in the use of species endemic to the region. Furthermore, environmental education or environmental awareness is incorporated into their care,” he concluded. In Antofagasta, the space used is located at the entrance to the Corfo building, and its maintenance will be the responsibility of the property's administration. Here 24 were planted specimens of the following species: Dalea Azurea, Dicliptera paposana, Salvia tubiflora, Senna cumingi, Senna paposana, Nolana lachimbensis, Plantago nebularis, Senecio antofagastanus. Finally, in the case of Taltal, two planters were installed. One of them in the “Cerro la Virgen” Urban Park and the second, in the Agusto Capdeville museum. The first will be in charge of the Illustrious Municipality of Taltal, and the second, by the museum itself. In the commune the species planted are 15 and correspond to: Dalea azurea, Dicliptera paposana, Salvia tubiflora, Senna cumingi, Senna paposana, Senna brongniartii, Puya boliviensis, Diplostephium paposanum, Oxyphyllum ulicinum, Ophyosporus anomalus, Berberis actinacantha, Argylia radiata, Plantago rancaguae , Moscharia sp., Erigeron paposanum. The mayor of the commune, Guillermo Hidalgo Ocampo, commented that “for Taltal, where the greatest biodiversity and threat of endemic flora in the region is located, it is a priority to promote the conservation of these species and bring the community closer to recognizing the demonstrative urban gardens. , the different floral species of our area.” The commitment assumed by the counterparts basically consists of the care and protection, irrigation, weeding and subsequent management of the plants. Progress of the study To date, within the framework of the study “Diagnosis and Conservation of the Coastal Flora of the Antofagasta Region”, various actions have been carried out, among which the characterization of potential sectors to carry out reintroduction activities stands out. In the specific case of Tocopilla, the site chosen was Quebrada Quillagua, where a species rescue was carried out by students and teachers from the Domingo Latrille High School. The planting area corresponded to a slope with southern exposure, whose soil has good drainage and the vegetation present allowed us to assume that there was influence of fog. To ensure the establishment and survival of the plants, protective meshes were installed. In this area, 60 individuals of four species were reintroduced: Malesherbia tocopillana, Heliotropium jaffuellii, Nolana clivicola and Ophryosporus anomalus. Meanwhile, in Cerro Mirador, sector of Paposo commune of Taltal, eight species were reintroduced divided into two sectors. This place provides important characteristics for the development of the reintroduction trial, such as: accessibility, soil characteristics and relief. In both sectors of this site the following species were established: Dalea azurea, Dicliptera paposana; Puya boliviensis, Salvia tubiflora, Senna paposana, Croton chilensis, Nicotiana solanifolia, and Apium panul. In total, for the Mirador Site, 520 individuals of the eight mentioned species were established. https://www.elmostrador.cl/agenda-pais/2023/01/06/implementan-jardines-urbanos-demostrativos-para-la-conservacion-de-flora-costera-endemica-en-la-region-de-antofagasta/ This bitter I fixed it.

A new survey reveals that software engineering talent remains in high demand, with a preference for software generalists and full-stack engineers over specialized skill sets.Despite ongoing cycles of layoffs by major tech companies, software engineering talent is still in high demand, with the emphasis talent leaders are placing on strong engineers only growing, according to a Karat/Harris Poll survey of 600 engineering and talent leaders. The survey revealed that more than half of the engineering leaders said strong engineers were worth at least three times their total compensation — up more than 20% since the job market peak in 2020. Related: Senior Software Engineers with Experience in NLP, AI in Demand Jason Wodicka, principal engineering advocate at Karat, calls the continued acceleration of the hiring process "really interesting." "We first started seeing interview cycles speed up during the 2020 lockdowns as remote work enabled faster scheduling," Wodicka said. "Now, even though the overall pace of hiring has slowed, we're still seeing that trend continue." Related: ITPro Today's 2023 Salary Survey Report The highest performing leaders the company surveyed averaged eight days for their technical interviews — nearly a week faster than their peers. Karat's interview data from the past year confirms this trend. "We've seen the average time to interview completion shrink from seven days in 2022 to just five days in 2023 as more candidates are prioritizing interviews and moving fast to land jobs in a tighter labor market," Wodicka said. The survey indicated software generalists and full-stack engineers are being prioritized over more specialized skill sets.Despite ongoing cycles of layoffs by major tech companies, software engineering talent is still in high demand, with the emphasis talent leaders are placing on strong engineers only growing, according to a Karat/Harris Poll survey of 600 engineering and talent leaders.

The survey indicated software generalists and full-stack engineers are being prioritized over more specialized skill sets. By hiring engineers with strong problem-solving skills, engineering leaders can bring in desirable people and plug them in where they are needed most. "This may be an example of organizations rising to the top based on having the infrastructure in place to encourage internal mobility and upskilling," Wodicka said. "This lets organizations hire the best engineers available rather than being overly focused on niche skill sets that can be taught."Focusing on problem-solving not only opens talent pools to more candidates but also attracts top talent because people know they'll have an opportunity to learn and grow on the job. Why AI Will Increase, Not Decrease, Demand for Software Engineers "The growing value that leaders place on strong software engineers is really encouraging," Wodicka said. "This is a strong indication that fears of AI taking over developer jobs don't reflect what's actually happening." Wodicka added that, if anything, these new tools are making software development more accessible to more people, which will accelerate innovation and create more demand for tech jobs, not less, adding that it's a great time to be getting into tech. The trend shows top leaders prioritizing generalists with strong fundamental skills, which Wodicka said is a testament to the central importance of continuing learning and development. "We've had a lot of buzzy new techs hitting the market over the past decade," Wodicka explained. "Containers, microservices, blockchain, AI, the list keeps going — and some have been more successful than others." Because nobody enters the field knowing all these things, having curiosity and a desire to keep up with new tech is important to sustaining a long career in tech, and the pace of change is only going to continue to accelerate. Benefits of 'Hiring Fast and Hiring Fair' In an introduction to the report, Karat CEO and co-founder Jeffrey Spector touted the benefits of "hiring fast and hiring fair." "It's a common misconception that equitable hiring and efficient hiring are conflicting goals," Wodicka said. "They aren't. This is something that I'm passionate about, and a fact that this year's survey data reinforces.""Hiring fast," Wodicka explained, is about having a candidate-friendly experience that moves at the speed of talent, while "hiring fair" means giving every candidate a chance to demonstrate what they can do.This year's report shows that the most effective hiring leaders are relying less on referrals and resume screens. "These outdated processes can introduce pedigree bias, where candidates are judged on factors like where they went to school or worked in the past," Wodicka said. "Instead, they're evaluating candidates based on their capabilities, using assessments that give every candidate the chance to prove themselves at the application stage." A good assessment doesn't have to be burdensome on candidates — they adapt to the level of skills demonstrated and can generate a strong signal about which candidates to advance to interviews in as little as 15 minutes. Wodicka added that building diverse teams is an outcome of having a fair hiring process, but it's just as accurate to say that building strong teams is an outcome of having a fair process. "Not missing out on great candidates because of pedigree bias, candidate dropout, or other negative factors is a big reason why top leaders in this survey were twice as likely to prioritize DEI," Wodicka said. https://www.itprotoday.com/software-development/software-engineering-talent-strong-demand-2023

Google didn't have many surprises at its October 4 Made by Google event — the products the company teased ahead of time were the ones that launched at the event itself. Still, there's a reason to be excited for the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel Watch 2, as those new devices are heavily shaped by Google's efforts to tap into the power of artificial intelligence. Each of the three new pieces of hardware introduced today (October 4) puts AI-powered features front and center, whether it's the photo-processing tools added to the Pixel 8 phones or the health monitoring features Google is incorporating into its latest Pixel Watch. But there are some hardware changes of note, too. Both Pixel phones have much brighter displays than before while the Pixel Watch 2 is switching to aluminum from stainless steel as the company looks to make more environmentally sustainable products. Here's a quick recap of the new hardware launched by Google at its fall event. Google Pixel 8: Google's entry-level smartphone costs $699 — a $100 price hike from last year's model as had been rumored. But it's got a new Tensor G3 chip and its ultrawide camera has been update to add a macro camera mode. The 6.2-inch display now has a 120Hz refresh rate. Check out our Google Pixel 8 hub and our Pixel 8 hands-on for more details. Google Pixel 8 Pro: Like the Pixel 8, the Pixel 8 Pro now runs on a Tensor G3 chipset. It also see its ultrawide lens upgraded to a 48MP sensor. It's $100 more than the Pixel 7 Pro, so you'll pay $999 for this phone. Check out our Google Pixel 8 Pro hub and our Pixel 8 Pro hands-on for more details. Google Pixel Watch 2: You'll find a number of health-focused improvements in Google's second smartwatch, including an improved multi-path heart rate sensor as well as stress detection. The watch is lighter than before and a new chip means faster performance. Prices start at $349. Check out our Google Pixel Watch 2 hub and Pixel Watch 2 hands-on for more details. Google had other announcements. Android 14 is appearing on the new Pixel phones, and it's now available for current Pixel phones, too. Google also plans to add its Bard chatbot to the Google Assistant. Read on for a full account of the Made by Google hardware event.

Games Workshop reprinted the original edition of Warhammer 40,000 for the tabletop wargame's 30th anniversary back in 2017, but only made it available at Warhammer World in Nottingham. If you weren't able to pop over to the Midlands to secure a copy for yourself, you're about to get another chance. At the bottom of a recent preview of new releases, Games Workshop announced that a reprinted first edition Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader rulebook will be available via print-on-demand, and orders can be placed between October 14 and October 23. Copies will be mailed out "within 180 days of the ordering window closing", though a price has yet to be announced. The first version of Warhammer 40,000 came out in 1987, and in some ways was quite different to the current 10th edition. For starters, it was as much a roleplaying game as a wargame, with the assumption that a third player would take the part of a "gamesmaster" who interpreted the rules, presented the scenario, and took the part of any independent forces on the battlefield. Battles were at a squad level, with substantially smaller armies, and an assumption you'd use tokens or whatever miniatures were at hand since so few official minis existed at that point.The setting was different as well, with the word "primarch" referring to highly ranked space marines rather than demigods and Chaos going unnamed until supplements started coming out. The tone, however, was right there from the start in opening text that described the Imperium as "the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable" and the time as "a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope."A tabletop RPG also called Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader came out in 2009, and it's the latter that Owlcat is basing its CRPG on, which is currently scheduled for release on December 7.Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame. https://www.pcgamer.com/games-workshop-is-reprinting-the-original-version-of-warhammer-40000/

A new generation of developing-country leaders is seeking to build a global consensus around reforms that put climate action and sustainable development front and center. High-income countries must now provide the necessary funding for these initiatives, including through a voluntary tax on record-high oil-export revenues.DINBURGH – With her ambitious Bridgetown Agenda to reform the international financial architecture, Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has become a powerful advocate for climate justice. But she is not the only world leader rising to meet the profound challenges we face today. A new generation of leaders from the Global South are making their voices heard.Kenyan President William Ruto, for example, is forging a new path toward climate-positive growth in Africa: by taking advantage of its abundant natural resources and realizing its green-manufacturing potential, the continent could supply the developed world with goods and services to accelerate the clean-energy transition. In Latin America, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for a new Marshall Plan to finance global climate action. And Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, now in his third non-consecutive term as Brazil’s president, aims to tackle hunger, poverty, and inequality, promote sustainable development, and reform outdated global governance arrangements during his country’s G20 presidency in 2024. After a decade of protectionism and fragmentation, these initiatives seek to build a global consensus around enacting sorely needed reforms. The post-COVID-19 world is currently experiencing what the G20 has called “cascading crises,” including a dramatic surge in energy and food prices, unmanageable debt burdens in the world’s poorest countries, and a record number of climate disasters. Developing countries need at least $1 trillion annually to make significant progress on the climate transition and to achieve their development goals. But the costs of inaction are even greater. Our collective future hinges on a dramatic increase in funding, and the place to start is a levy on windfall revenues from fossil fuels. The global oil and gas industry’s revenues were around $4 trillion in 2022, according to Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency – an astonishing $2.5 trillion more than the average in recent years. Where has this money come from? The short answer is consumers. Some of the world’s richest companies are raking in bumper profits from a cost-of-living crisis – largely fueled by high energy prices – that has disproportionately affected the poor and vulnerable. The largest beneficiaries of this effective tax on the global economy have been petrostates, whose total export revenues, when complemented by the export earnings of countries like Canada, Australia, Iraq, and Iran, totaled almost $1 trillion in 2022. The biggest of these countries, whose per capita incomes are among the highest in the world, are well able to pay a voluntary levy on their exceptionally high hydrocarbon-export revenues into a global fund for sustainable development. A 3% tax on the 2022 export earnings of the United Arab Emirates ($119 billion), Qatar ($116 billion), Kuwait ($98 billion), Norway (around $174 billion), and Saudi Arabia ($311 billion) would raise roughly $25 billion in total – a sum not that much larger than what the Saudis alone have recently spent on soccer, golf, Formula One racing, and other sports deals.It is fortuitous that this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) will be held in one of these countries, the UAE. Outlining his plan of action in July, COP28 president-designate Sultan Al Jaber named “fixing climate finance” as one of its four pillars, arguing that “all forms of finance must be more available, more accessible, and more affordable.” Similarly, he has called on donor countries with overdue pledges to “show me the money.” But as president-designate, the UAE has the responsibility to take the lead. The best way to kickstart COP28 would be for Al Jaber – who is also the managing director and group CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company – to announce that his country will contribute $3 billion of its windfall earnings to a global finance facility and that it will seek to persuade its wealthy Gulf neighbors to do likewise. More than half of the contributions could go to the Loss and Damage Fund, which was agreed at COP27 but still has gained little initial funding, with the rest used as capital and grant funding for new facilities for climate mitigation and adaptation. And the international community must use this levy to kickstart a wider financing program for the developing world, based on the principle that rich, historically large polluters with the capacity to pay should contribute more to help poorer countries adapt to global warming. Not only should aid budgets be raised, but the International Development Association, the World Bank’s financing facility for the poorest countries, must also receive a generous replenishment next year. Providing $90 billion in concessional finance for low-income countries is at the heart of the proposals from the economist N.K. Singh and former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers in their two volumes of reports to the G20, the first proposed ahead of the recent G20 summit in New Delhi. As they argue, the system of multilateral development banks (MDBs) must increase its overall capacity, which means tripling its annual commitments to $300 billion in non-concessional finance for middle-income countries. As part of their proposals, which include recapitalization of the World Bank itself, they favor the wider use of guarantees. High-income countries could and should provide such guarantees that will enable MDBs to borrow from capital markets on attractive terms. Such initiatives, if properly managed, could mobilize private-sector lending, which is essential to meeting our climate objectives. And it is the combination of the levy and the use of guarantees that, if agreed at COP28, could be the platform for achieving $1 trillion in annual financial flows to developing countries by 2030. Seventy-five years ago, under the original Marshall Plan, the United States lent $13.3 billion ($169 billion in today’s money) to Europe for its postwar reconstruction. It was a remarkable act of global leadership that helped secure decades of stable economic growth and international cooperation. While today’s world and the crises it faces are very different, the scale of the response must be equally ambitious. Countries in the Global South are charting a way forward. Now, their rich counterparts in the Global North must step up and provide the necessary funding. The money is there, but we need the political imagination and will to use it, before the next crisis arrives. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/oil-producing-countries-must-fund-climate-reforms-with-windfall-tax-by-gordon-brown-2023-10?a_la=english&a_d=652574c8ea6775d1ae24db6b&a_m=&a_a=click&a_s=&a_p=homepage&a_li=oil-producing-countries-must-fund-climate-reforms-with-windfall-tax-by-gordon-brown-2023-10&a_pa=curated&a_ps=main-article-a2&a_ms=&a_r=

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jonathan Marchessault scored, Adin Hill made 23 saves and the Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights beat the Seattle Kraken 4-1 on Tuesday night after a banner-raising ceremony. Conn Smythe winner Marchessault scored in the first game of the season for the fourth straight year and the fifth time in seven seasons with Vegas.Chandler Stephenson, Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel also scored for the Golden Knights. The Golden Knights improved to 6-1-0 in home openers, their only loss coming in 2018 to Philadelphia. Vegas has outscored their visitors 26-14 in those games. Jared McCann scored Seattle’s lone goal. Philipp Grubauer made 24 savesVegas got the scoring going early in the first period when Mark Stone, Brett Howden and Stephenson played tic-tac-toe in the offensive zone. As they crossed the blue line, Stone went cross-ice with a pass to Howden, who sent the puck to the crease where Stephenson was there for the finish. The Golden Knights made it 2-0 when Seattle’s Brandon Tanev went to clear the puck past the goal, but Marchessault nicked it off course and past Grubauer. Barbashev connected on a breakaway snapper 1:20 into the second period to make it 3-0. Seattle answered midway through the period when McCann’s wrist shot from the slot sailed past Hill. The Kraken had an ample opportunity midway into the third, when Howden was called for a match penalty when he delivered a shot to Tanev’s head. But just as he did in standing tall during the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup run, Hill was outstanding in making six saves during the penalty kill. “I thought our penalty kill did an excellent job,” Hill said. “It was kind of an area of emphasis during camp, just trying to work on it and kind of be aggressive and err on the side of aggression. I thought we did that tonight and I thought our penalty kill was outstanding. Of course they’re going to get a couple looks, but yeah, we did a good job limiting it.” Eichel scored into an empty net with a little more than a minute remaining. “We had enough scoring chances,” Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said. “Early in the hockey game, we could execute a little bit better on a couple of them, we had a couple of missed nets on a couple of real good opportunities that we executed the play really well, we didn’t finish. All of a sudden in a (first) period where we’ve done a lot of pretty good things, we’re down 2-0. Now you’re now you’re digging out of a deep hole. Ultimately, we didn’t capitalize when we had the good opportunities, whether it be 5 on 5, or on the power play.” INJURY UPDATE Golden Knights forward William Carrier left during the second period with an upper-body injury and did not return. ... Seattle forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare also left the bench in the second period after blocking a shot with his left hand. He returned for the third period. UP NEXT Kraken: At Nashville on Thursday night. Golden Knights: At San Jose on Thursday night. https://www.usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2023-10-11/golden-knights-raise-stanley-cup-banner-beat-kraken-4-1-in-opener

Prof Duflo, only the second woman to win the economics award, told the BBC she hoped it demonstrated practical ways to improve lives. She shared the award with her husband, Abhijit Banerjee, and Michael Kremer. Their work has focused on poor communities in India and Kenya. Research into how teachers can improve classroom education or how to raise healthcare standards in poor areas was having real-world practical benefits, said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the prize. Prof Duflo told the BBC that she and her fellow prize winners took a more practical approach than many economists who had won the award previously. For example, an experiment in schools in India dispensed with a focus on the curriculum, to concentrate on children left behind in their studies. "That doesn't look like rocket science," she said. "It looks obvious. But nobody in India accepted that as a legitimate approach." Armed with evidence that their methods work, she said, it was easier to convince policymakers. The Nobel couple fighting poverty clichés Nobel prize economist: I want to inspire women The Nobel Prize: Who won what? The economists have also, for example, looked into areas such as class sizes and comparisons between experienced and inexperienced teachers. While the former have obvious benefits, the later compensated for their lack of experience with energy and enthusiasm, she said. The challenge of their work was to prove it. Not enough women Prof Duflo said: "If you want to really make a dent in fighting poverty and the problems that go with it you really have to approach it problem-by-problem. Try to put away your preconceptions, and instead try and bring in a scientific and vigorous mindset. The key is experiment." She said that winning the award was incredibly humbling, and completely unexpected because "usually a Noble prize goes to a male economist over the age of 60". Not only is the professor just the second women to win the award since it began in 1969, at the age of 46 she is also the youngest winner - male or female. The three academics will share prize money of nine million Swedish krona (£728,000). "We will put it [the money] to good use and make the best of it in our work," she told the BBC. "But this is way beyond the money. The influence that this prize will have will give us a megaphone. We will really try to make good use of that megaphone to amplify the work of everyone who works with us." She also hopes the prize will send a message to other women economists. "There just are not enough of us," she said. One reason for this is the culture - "a little bit macho and aggressive," she said. Another reason is that "young women are not necessarily inspired by economics as something that could make a difference in the world. They think that if they want to be useful they should become doctors or maybe scientists - but not economists." She hopes the award will show women that economics "is not just about wearing ties and suits, and thinking about the macro economy and finance. It can be about changing the world - making the world a better place". https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50047238

in a statement on Thursday to CNN, referring to the software impacted. “We are working urgently to understand impacts and ensure timely remediation.” Aside from US government agencies, “several hundred” companies and organizations in the US could be affected by the hacking spree, a senior CISA official told reporters later Thursday, citing estimates from private experts.Clop, the ransomware gang allegedly responsible, is known to demand multimillion-dollar ransoms. But no ransom demands have been made of federal agencies, the senior official told reporters in a background briefing. CISA’s response comes as Progress Software, the US firm that makes the software exploited by the hackers, said it had discovered a second vulnerability in the code that the company was working to fix. The Department of Energy is among multiple federal agencies breached in the ongoing global hacking campaign, a department spokesperson confirmed to CNN.The hacks have not had any “significant impacts” on federal civilian agencies, CISA Director Jen Easterly told reporters, adding that the hackers have been “largely opportunistic” in using the software flaw to break into networks. The news adds to a growing tally of victims of a sprawling hacking campaign that began two weeks ago and has hit major US universities and state governments. The hacking spree mounts pressure on federal officials who have pledged to put a dent in the scourge of ransomware attacks that have hobbled schools, hospitals and local governments across the US. Since late last month, the hackers have been exploiting a flaw in widely used software known as MOVEit that companies and agencies use to transfer data. Progress Software, the US firm that makes the software, told CNN Thursday that a new vulnerability in the software had been discovered “that could be exploited by a bad actor.” “We have communicated with customers on the steps they need to take to further secure their environments and we have also taken MOVEit Cloud offline as we urgently work to patch the issue,” the company said in a statement.Agencies were much quicker Thursday to deny they’d been affected by the hacking than to confirm they were. The Transportation Security Administration and the State Department said they were not victims of the hack. The Department of Energy “took immediate steps” to mitigate the impact of the hack after learning that records from two department “entities” had been compromised, the department spokesperson said. “The Department has notified Congress and is working with law enforcement, CISA, and the affected entities to investigate the incident and mitigate impacts from the breach,” the spokesperson said in a statement. One of the Department of Energy victims is Oak Ridge Associated Universities, a not-for-profit research center, a department spokesperson told CNN. The other victim is a contractor affiliated with the department’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico, which disposes waste associated with atomic energy, the spokesperson said. Federal News Network first reported on the Department of Energy victims. Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and the university’s renowned health system said in a statement this week that “sensitive personal and financial information,” including health billing records may have been stolen in the hack. Meanwhile, Georgia’s state-wide university system – which spans the 40,000-student University of Georgia along with over a dozen other state colleges and universities – confirmed it was investigating the “scope and severity” of the hack. CLOP last week claimed credit for some of the hacks, which have also affected employees of the BBC, British Airways, oil giant Shell, and state governments in Minnesota and Illinois, among others. The Russian hackers were the first to exploit the MOVEit vulnerability, but experts say other groups may now have access to software code needed to conduct attacks. The ransomware group had given victims until Wednesday to contact them about paying a ransom, after which they began listing more alleged victims from the hack on their extortion site on the dark web. As of Thursday morning, the dark website did not list any US federal agencies. Instead, the hackers wrote in all caps, “If you are a government, city or police service do not worry, we erased all your data. You do not need to contact us. We have no interest to expose such information.” The CLOP ransomware group is one of numerous gangs in Eastern Europe and Russia that are almost exclusively focused on wringing their victims for as much money as possible. “The activity we’re seeing at the moment, adding company names to their leak site, is a tactic to scare victims, both listed and unlisted, into paying,” Rafe Pilling, director of threat research at Dell-owned Secureworks, told CNN. This story has been updated with additional developments. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/15/politics/us-government-hit-cybeattack/index.html

Chinese electric vehicle companies like Nio are pulling ever further ahead, partly through government support but also through rapid technological advances. Nio, a Chinese electric car company that competes with Tesla, employs 11,000 people in research and development, but sold a mere 8,000 cars per month from April through June. It has invested so extensively in robots that one of its factories employs just 30 technicians to make 300,000 electric car motors a year. Nio offers $350 augmented reality glasses for each seat in its cars, and has introduced a cellphone that interacts with the car’s self-driving system. And none of it is profitable — far from it. Nio lost $835 million in the second quarter, or $35,000 for each car it sold. Nio and other companies in China’s sprawling electric car sector have formidable government backing that allows them to withstand such losses and keep growing. When Nio nearly ran out of cash in 2020, a local government immediately injected $1 billion for a 24 percent stake, and a state-controlled bank led a group of other lenders to pump in another $1.6 billion. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/05/business/nio-china-electric-vehicles.html

In Nury Martinez’s first interview since a leaked audio that prompted her resignation from City Hall, the former Los Angeles City Council president said that her comments were not intended to be racist, and that the scandal has left her and her family “completely destroyed.” During the interview with LAist, Martinez said that on the day the audio became public, she had already accepted that the scandal was so huge she would need to step down — and that there was nothing she could say or do to undo the damage. “I knew that there was gonna be consequences, that I needed to pay for this,” Martinez said.LAist journalist Antonia Cereijido, as part of an extensive podcast on Martinez’s life, asked her about her use of the phrase “parece changuito,” which means “like a little monkey.” In the leaked audio, Martinez is heard recounting a story of being with other moms and uses the term to describe the young Black son of then-Councilmember Mike Bonin. “The way I grew up with that word, ‘parece changuito.’ It has nothing to do with skin color. It has more to do with behavior. You’re sort of just playing around,” Martinez said, according to a transcript provided to The Times by LAist. “You’re horsing around. Another word that we use in Spanish, “es travieso” [mischievous], you can’t stay put. It’s a conversation I should not have repeated. And I think that’s an example of a bunch of moms sitting around, you know, being critical of little boys’ behavior. That was my mistake. It was insensitive. It was mean. I never meant to hurt Jacob, and I’m going to have to live with that for the rest of my life, you know?” Martinez said. “I think in Spanish, then I speak in English,” Martinez said. “And so my vocabulary comes from me being an English learner. And I think for me, those words are not meant to hurt anybody, or to sound racist at all. I think it’s just words that I grew up with.”in a private meeting with then-Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera, and City Councilmembers Kevin De León and Gil Cedillo. Martinez took a central role in the conversation and made offensive comments about Black people, Indigenous Oaxacans and others.In the interview with LAist, Martinez expressed regret for saying “tan feos’,” or “they’re ugly,” when talking about Oaxacan people who live in Koreatown. “Oh my goodness. That’s another thing that I will never forgive myself for,” Martinez said. “That was just a horrible, insensitive thing to say. I certainly don’t have anything against the Oaxacan community. I feel horrible for having insulted the community.”She also addressed what she said about Dist. Atty. George Gascón: “F— that guy. I’m telling you now, he’s with the Blacks.” “You know, I walked in there really angry and frustrated and it was, it was a mean and insensitive thing to say, and I didn’t mean anything by it,” Martinez said. Martinez added that she had “absolutely no relationship” with Gascón at the time and suggested the comment reflected her own anger. Protesters were targeting her home over the city’s handling of homelessness and its vaccine mandate. Her relationship with Bonin, a onetime ally, was strained. “Over the 2½ years that I was council president, I just grew more frustrated and angry and pissed off at everything. And that’s what you saw. That’s it,” Martinez said. Martinez also criticized the media. “I have always felt that as a Latina, I have never really been given a fair shake by the media. The coverage of these tapes in and of itself says it all. I think there was a deliberate concerted effort to take snippets of the conversation and put them out to the general public,” she said. Today, she isn’t working, according to LAist, and is trying to manage her household finances. She said her husband is also not working. “What this has done to me and my family has completely destroyed us,” she said. On Friday, De León and Cedillo filed separate lawsuits in Los Angeles County Superior Court saying the recording did permanent harm to their reputations and careers. Both lawsuits allege invasion of privacy and negligence and seek damages. Cedillo’s lawsuit targets the Federation of Labor and two onetime labor staffers. De León’s lawsuit names only the staffers. Los Angeles, CA - October 26: Protestors return to City Hall on Wednesday to demand that no meetings be held until Councilmembers Kevin De Leon and Gil Cedillo have resigned. The council censured both men in an unanimous vote at City Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022 in Los Angeles, CA. (Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times) CALIFORNIAThe leaked audio scandal marked a stunning downfall for Martinez, the daughter of immigrants from the Mexican state of Zacatecas who joined the council in 2013 after a come-from-behind victory. In the interview published Monday, she describes staying in bed for days. She credits her mother and her church with helping her. Martinez said she had several conversations with then-mayoral candidate Karen Bass in the first 24 hours after news of the secret recording broke. Bass, who was elected mayor weeks later, guessed the scandal would “blow over in about one or two days,” Martinez said. Bonin, reached Monday for comment about Martinez’s interview, said he thought she was essentially saying, “I didn’t mean it, I was having a bad day, or I didn’t do anything wrong.” “I thought she might have gone deeper and more reflective,” Bonin said. Bonin said he hopes that the anniversary of the leaked audio sheds light on society’s treatment of Black children and studies showing that young Black children are subject to more and harsher discipline. A day earlier, the former councilman posted an essay in which he talked about Martinez’s comments about his son’s behavior at a parade. In the leaked audio, Martinez is heard saying the boy needs a “beatdown.” “She was doing what society does to Black children — subjecting them to a different standard, viewing them and treating them as older than they are. It is a widespread phenomenon,” Bonin wrote. “I don’t think she meant to play into that narrative,” Bonin said Monday. “But I hope people can pay attention to how that narrative is used to endanger Black children.” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-10-09/nury-martinez-talks-about-leaked-audio
