Israeli forces fired at UNIFIL headquarters in southern Lebanon, injuring two Indonesian peacekeepers. UNIFIL – the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon – said on Thursday that two peacekeepers were injured when an Israeli tank fired at a watchtower at the force’s headquarters in the border area town of Naqoura, causing them to fall. Any attack on peacekeepers is a “grave violation of international humanitarian law”, UNIFIL said in a statement. On Friday, Lebanon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Israeli army hit a watchtower of a Sri Lankan battalion in Naqoura, part of UNIFIL, in the second such attack in as many days. The peacekeeping organisation, which consists of about 10,000 peacekeepers from 50 countries and was established in 1978, said Israeli forces had “deliberately” fired at its positions along the border.Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the UN undersecretary general for peace operations, told the UN Security Council that the “safety and security” of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon is “increasingly in jeopardy”. He said that operational activities had virtually come to a halt since September 23, when Israel launched a wave of strikes against Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon. “Peacekeepers have been confined to their bases with significant periods of time in shelter,” he said, adding that UNIFIL was ready to support all efforts towards a diplomatic solution. “UNIFIL is mandated to support the implementation of resolution 1701, but we must insist that it is for the parties themselves to implement the provisions of this resolution,” he told an emergency meeting of the 15-member council. UN Security Council resolution 1701 gives UNIFIL a mandate to help the Lebanese army keep its southern border area with Israel free of weapons or armed personnel other than those of the Lebanese state. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti told Al Jazeera that the attack was a “very serious” development. Tenenti explained that Israel had previously asked the peacekeepers to move from “certain positions” near the border, but “we decided to stay because it’s important for the UN flag to fly in [the] south of Lebanon”. “If the situation becomes impossible for the mission to operate in the south of Lebanon … it will be up to the Security Council to decide how to move forward,” he said. “At the moment, we are staying, we are trying to do whatever we can to monitor [and] to provide assistance,” Tenenti added. Indonesia Minister for Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi confirmed on Friday that two Indonesian peacekeepers had been injured in the assault and are in hospital for further observation. “Indonesia strongly condemns the attack,” she said. “Attacking UN personnel and property is a major violation of International Humanitarian Law.” Indonesia, a staunch critic of Israel and supporter of Palestine, has about 1,232 personnel currently deployed with UNIFIL in Lebanon. Israel Israel’s military said its troops opened fire near a UNIFIL base after instructing UN forces in the area to remain in protected spaces. It said in a statement that Hezbollah fighters operate from within and near civilian areas in southern Lebanon, including areas near UNIFIL posts. The military said it “is operating in southern Lebanon and maintains routine communication with UNIFIL”. Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, said he recommended that the peacekeeping force relocate five kilometres (3.1 milies) north “while the situation along the Blue Line remains volatile as a result of Hezbollah aggression”, referring to the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel. The White House is “deeply concerned” by reports Israel fired on UN peacekeeper headquarters in south Lebanon, a National Security Council spokesperson said. “We understand Israel is conducting targeted operations near the Blue Line to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure that could be used to threaten Israeli citizens,” the spokesperson said. “While they undertake these operations, it is critical that they not threaten UN peacekeepers’ safety and security.” Italy Minister of Defence Guido Crosetto called the attack on the UNIFIL bases “totally unacceptable”. “This was not a mistake and not an accident,” Crosetto told a news conference. “It could constitute a war crime and represented a very serious violation of international military law,” he said. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/10/world-reacts-to-alleged-israeli-attack-on-un-peacekeepers-in-lebanon

Many laptop docking stations come and go across my desk, enough that I donate the remainder to my coworkers at the end of the year. Kensington’s Thunderbolt 4 dock, the SD5800T, was one I didn’t want to give up. I love docks that don’t sacrifice either flexibility or stability, and the SD5800T offers it all: support for up to four displays, USB-C and USB-A, charging capabilities (7.5W to a phone, just under 100W to a laptop). There really aren’t any compromises, at all. The only concern I had was its price, and that’s fallen to a wholly respectable $250 at press time. Absolutely recommended. – Mark Hachman If you want the very best external drive, look no further than the Adata S E920. It features the latest-gen USB 4 spec, making it capable of 40Gbps transfers. Within that class, it’s the fastest external drive we’ve tested. https://www.pcworld.com/article/2515928/the-best-pc-hardware-and-software-of-2024-2025.html

With Monster Hunter Wilds just three months away, it's worth studying up on the confirmed monsters that we'll be hunting across the Forbidden Lands. Preparation is, after all, half of the hunter's job—even if that preparation only involves deciding which armor piece would most improve your outfit. No matter what monsters Capcom adds, every hunter's greatest prize is fashion. Capcom has been slowly doling out reveals for new and returning monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, from series classics like Rathalos and Yian Kut-Ku to all-new beasties like the lightning-launching Rey Dau. Whether you're swinging a hammer, shelling with a gunlance, or sobbing over losing the ability to stay airborne with your insect glaive, here's the list of confirmed monsters you'll be facing in February. We'll be updating this list with additional monster reveals as we approach the Monster Hunter Wilds release. Monster Class: Fanged Beast | Habitat: Oilwell Basin Ajarakan is a hyper-aggressive, hulking primate in a similar vein as long-time monster favorite Rajang. But where Rajang is a lightning-charged, Super Saiyan ape, Ajarakan is more of a metal-plated mandrill. Monster Hunter isn't a series that's content to settle with a steel-encased baboon, however. When Ajarakan's enraged, it'll rake its own shell with its claws until the metal plating is molten-hot, presumably adding fire damage to its rampage. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/monster-hunter-wilds-every-monster-confirmed-so-far/

Sensor type: full frame CMOS with a resolution of 24.5 mega pixels. Viewfinder - electronic viewfinder: EVF. Camera screen size: 3.2 inches, touch screen, tiltable - at a rate of 2100 thousand dots. Maximum continuous shooting rate: 14 fps. 4K photography. You need a photographer with a level: Intermediate experience. Camera price: $1,996.95. If I remember correctly I will remind you that the first version of the Nikon Z6 was the company's first full frame mirrorless camera and we were very happy when we first saw it but now that we have been almost two years since it was introduced to the market, which means that this is the time for a slight upgrade In the main features and specifications, in fact, what I personally like about the camera is that the company did not play much with the essence of the original design, and you will notice the presence of the same sensor, but on the positive side, it was also able to get rid of all the gaps or negative aspects that we did not like in the Z6 camera. This time you have the same sensor supported by optical stabilization paired with a powerful Expeed 6 second processor that enhances the speed and power of performance in starting the capture process and faster autofocus during shooting, and in case you were wondering, this camera is capable of capturing 4K videos at 60 frames per second. Camera features: Excellent image quality. Great handling. 14 frames per second. Camera defects: The screen only supports tilt. There are many cameras that offer better autofocus. https://www.nologygate.com/news/أفضل-كاميرات-نيكون

Renowned hardware leaker @kopite7kimi has leaked the preliminary specifications of Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 (non-Ti) graphics card. According to the leak, Team Green decided to use a severely cut-down AD104 GPU for the product, though it remains to be seen how fast it will be in actual games and how it will rank on our list of the best graphics cards. Keep in mind that we're dealing with preliminary information from an unofficial source, so take it with a grain of salt. As expected, just like the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, the vanilla GeForce RTX 4070 will be based on the AD104 graphics processor. However, Nvidia harshly cut down to 5888 CUDA cores, or by 23% when compared to the full-fat AD104. Meanwhile, Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 board will carry 12GB of GDDR6X memory connected to the GPU using a 192-bit interface, which is the same memory configuration on the GeForce RTX 4070. As for power consumption, the RTX 4070 will be rated for 250W of total board power, down from 285W with the RTX 4070 Ti. Nvidia GeForce RTX 40-Series Specifications Row 0 - Cell 0 GPU FP32 CUDA Cores Memory Configuration TBP GeForce RTX 4090 AD102 16384 24GB 384-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X 450W GeForce RTX 4080 AD103 9728 16GB 256-bit 22.4 GT/s GDDR6X 320W GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AD104 7680 12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X 285W GeForce RTX 4070 AD104 5888 12GB 192-bit 21 GT/s GDDR6X 25 With the AD104 GPU configuration cut down by almost a quarter, the GeForce RTX 4070 is destined to be significantly slower than the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. But, of course, Nvidia can increase GPU frequency to make up for the 'lost' CUDA cores, and perhaps this is the case given that the 4070's power consumption is just 35W lower than its bigger brother. Reducing the number of active CUDA cores so significantly ensures that Nvidia will have plenty of AD104 graphics processors that are good enough to power GeForce RTX 4070 graphics boards without doing extensive (and expensive) binning. Furthermore, since the GeForce RTX 4070 will reportedly have the same memory configuration as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, GPU makers will be able to use the same printed circuit boards for both products, which is efficient from a manufacturing standpoint. Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 are the best graphics cards money can buy today, but at $1199 and $1599, they are way too expensive for most people. In fact, even the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti — which seems quite powerful—will not be cheap at its rumored $899 price tag. This price formation begs the question of how much Nvidia will charge for other Ada Lovelace products and what they will offer. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-specs-leak-ad104-cut-by-a-quarter

We're updating our benchmark suite with a new some new titles and a new test system. As such, we have some new benchmark results to present to you. This title is all about adding another Raytracing-compatible title into our graphics card test suite. The Callisto Protocol has been a hot topic in the PC gaming community, and with good reason. The AMD-sponsored title promises to deliver a top-notch gaming experience to PC gamers, with cutting-edge graphics and performance capabilities. That last bit proofs to be a bit more challenging. We'll put the platform to the test by evaluating its graphics card performance. A good number of graphics cards, including the latest AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce models, will be benchmarked and compared. This will give us a clear picture of how well the Callisto Protocol performs on PC hardware and what kind of gaming experience players can expect. The Callisto Protocol has been developed primarily for the latest generation of consoles but is also available on previous generation Xbox and PlayStation. This means that even nine-year-old hardware should be able to run the game, although the PC version is not exactly a lightweight game, as you will find out. The Callisto Protocol is set in the year 2320, and revolves around the planet Callisto and the adventures of space pilot Jacob Lee, played by renowned actor Josh Duhamel. The game begins with a dramatic twist when Jacob and his partner are attacked while transporting a hazardous material, causing their ship to crash on Callisto. To Jacob's shock, he finds himself handcuffed and taken to the notorious Black Iron Prison. Despite his attempts to prove his innocence, he is disregarded and thrown into a prison complex where a mysterious disease is spreading, turning both prisoners and guards into zombie-like creatures. As the game progresses, players must navigate through the prison to escape and uncover the truth behind the outbreak and those responsible for it. The Callisto Protocol runs on the Unreal 4 engine and utilizes FSR 2 technology to enable upscaling. The game does not support DLSS. The game is available on both DirectX 11 and 12, with the latter allowing players to enable ray tracing. Based on the initial benchmarks, it's clear that the platform is capable of delivering a premium gaming experience with nice graphics and okay performance if you select the right quality settings. When released in December, the game was still in its early days, and there were some bugs and performance issues to iron out. We waited until the game got patched. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the Callisto Protocol from a PC graphics performance and PC gaming perspective https://www.guru3d.com/review/the-callisto-protocol-pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review

“I believe I will still beat it again.” These are the words of a Nigerian woman, Didi, who feared a recurrence of her cancer – but saw herself as a survivor. Her attitude is becoming more common everywhere as more people are living after a cancer diagnosis. Though po[CENSORED]tions are growing and ageing, and cancer incidence is therefore rising, it’s also true that the likelihood of surviving is greater than before. And identifying as a survivor, rather than a “victim”, matters. Studies show that it’s associated with better health outcomes. Didi’s optimism is inspiring when you consider the challenges women like her face: a weak health system, high out-of-pocket medical costs, cancer stigma, and a highly patriarchal society that increases women’s vulnerability. In 2020, Nigeria reported an estimated 124,815 new cancer cases and 78,899 cancer deaths, mostly from breast, cervical and prostate cancers. The country is projected to experience an increase in cancer incidence by 2040. The growing po[CENSORED]tion of people who have had cancer makes it important to understand their experiences. What is it like to be a cancer survivor in Nigeria? Does identifying as a survivor rather than as a victim make a difference? Can the survivors’ quality of life be improved? These were the questions my colleagues and I – gerontology and public health researchers – had in mind when we conducted the study that Didi took part in. Breast cancer survivors For our study of what it means to be a female cancer survivor in Nigeria, we took a qualitative descriptive research approach. We interviewed 30 women in Abuja who had had cancer (29 had been diagnosed with breast cancer and one with skin cancer). They were aged between 29 and 55; 16 were married; 19 had children; 29 had tertiary education. The women in the study were recruited through a partnership with an organisation that offers psycho-social support to cancer survivors. This meant they felt comfortable enough to share their experiences. We analysed what they told us to identify themes. Three key findings emerged: cancer can be stigmatising women made sense of their experience in diverse ways identifying as a cancer survivor can be empowering. The Nigerian women reported that they had encountered negative attitudes from others. One said: “I have been mocked … laughed at … embarrassed.” Another said she had not been given her job back after her cancer treatment was complete. She also said her husband treated her unkindly after her mastectomy. Stigma can result in social isolation, loss of livelihood and fear of seeking help. All the study participants identified as survivors, but for different reasons. They mentioned strength, hope, self-esteem, having a positive outlook on life, and maintaining a sense of control. For some, their religious faith gave them this identity. One said that seeing herself as a survivor enabled her to stick to her medical treatment. Care and support contributed to this identity for some: Since when I joined (a support group), I see myself as a cancer survivor. I’m going to make it no matter what, I know that I’m going to make it. The women shared their thoughts about the future and looking beyond their cancer diagnosis. Many showed great resilience as their responses reflected hope for a better future, beyond cancer. Overall, although some of the women in the study spoke of their negative experiences, they reported that identifying as cancer survivors gave them a positive outlook. This was in line with other studies that found that identifying as a cancer survivor can be empowering. These qualities are particularly significant in Nigeria, where some people diagnosed with cancer may see it as a death sentence or refuse chemotherapy and surgery because they think those treatments can kill. Cancer is extremely disruptive: it involves treatment and changes to relationships, careers and lifestyles. It can have a huge impact on future goals. The way people choose to make sense of all this is the difference between being a “survivor” and being a “victim”. Choosing to identify as a cancer survivor in Nigeria is choosing to have a voice or an active role. It may empower a person and make them more resilient. Still, there is a need for support and for Nigeria to reduce the burden of cancer through its national plan.

The poultry producer Moy Park was Northern Ireland’s largest business by turnover last year, analysis for Ulster Business magazine suggests. The company, which is ultimately owned by the Brazilian JBS group, had turnover of £1.88bn and pre-tax profit of £18.7m. There are now six companies in Northern Ireland with annual turnover of more than £1bn, compared to just one a decade ago. The analysis suggests that while the 100 largest business in Northern Ireland increased sales last year profit margins were squeezed. Combined turnover across the 100 firms was up 17% to £35.2bn while total pre-tax profits fell by 8% to £1.32bn. John Mulgrew, editor of Ulster Business, said the figures suggest that for some firms "the impact of rising costs, higher borrowing and skills shortages are hitting that bottom line". Some of the new entrants to the top 100 list include the Kingsbridge Healthcare Group, which was recently sold to a private equity firm for £300m, and the Charles Brand civil engineering firm.

Dog-owners are being urged not to leave their pets in the car or to walk them during the hottest part of the day. The warning from Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) comes as a heatwave affects large parts of the UK. The Channel Island charity said it was expecting to receive reports from the public of dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and wildlife in need. GSPCA manager Steve Byrne said there were simple things islanders could do to ensure it is safe to take pets outside. 'Stop and think' He advised avoiding walking dogs at the hottest part of the day and testing the heat of the pavement with the back of a hand for seven seconds. Dogs should be walked on cooler grass, ideally in shaded areas, early in the morning or evening, he said. "We urge all pet owners to stop and think and ensure that their pet is not put in a life-threatening situation," Mr Byrne added. "If your dog is left in the car, even if parked in the shade as the sun moves [it] could put them at a real risk of heat exhaustion, which can lead to death." The GSPCA said when it is 22°C (72°F) outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 47°C (117°F) within 60 minutes. It added a dog inside a hot car could suffer heat stroke and said the signs to look out for included heavy panting, profuse salivation, lethargy and lack of co-ordination. A vet should be called to lower the dog's body temperature slowly. Lorna Chadwick, GSPCA animal welfare manager, said: "We do not want to see animals' lives put in danger due to the hot weather and if anyone is concerned about a dog in a hot car or animal at risk please call us on 01481 25726."

The Genesis GV70 is one of our favorite compact luxury SUVs because it expertly balances performance, luxury, and curb appeal. Its sharp exterior design is complemented by a luxury-car interior with lots of available technology. There are models in this segment such as the Porsche Macan that offer more performance but the GV70’s standard turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder and optional twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 both provide good power and impressive refinement. Well-equipped and priced more than competitively, the GV70 is a compelling choice—it won a spot on our 10Best list in 2023 and 2024—and the latest updates coming for 2026 to its tech and appearance should only enhance its appeal. There’s also an electric version called the Electrified GV70 that we review separately. What's New for 2026? The big news is the addition of a 27.0-inch widescreen display that stretches across much of the dashboard and serves as both the digital gauge cluster and the central infotainment screen. The climate controls also use a new touchpad lower on the console. On the outside, those with a keen eye will spot tweaks including new headlights, a new grille pattern, new wheel designs, and a few additional visual enhancements for the Sport trim level. Genesis has not yet released any details about mechanical changes to the powertrains or suspension setup. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Genesis GV70 is expected to start around $48,000 and go up to $69,000 depending on the trim and options.

West Ham have signed Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville from Leeds for a fee in excess of £25m plus add-ons. The 22-year-old has agreed a five-year deal at London Stadium with the option of a further year. "It's the perfect next step for my career," said Summerville. "I'm here to help write more history and I'd love to help West Ham get back into Europe." He made 89 appearances and scored 25 goals in all competitions for Leeds after joining them from Feyenoord in a £1.3m transfer in 2020. West Ham are also close to sealing a £27m deal for Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund. The Hammers have been linked with numerous players this summer as technical director Tim Steidten attempts to strengthen Julen Lopetegui’s squad. However, Summerville - last term's Championship Player of the Year - emerged as one of their primary targets. "I spoke to the head coach and he convinced me that I could make an impact, and help achieve success in the new season," he added. "I had the feeling that this is the best place for me to continue developing as a player, and to push my potential as much as possible." West Ham, who finished ninth in the Premier League in 2023-24, have already brought in Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for £25.5m from Palmeiras.
