Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address British MPs on Tuesday via video link, the Speaker of the House of Commons has announced. Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he was pleased to grant Mr Zelensky's "historic" request, with the address taking place at 17:00 GMT. The speech will be shown on screens being installed in the chamber. More than 500 headsets will also be provided to relay an English translation of his statement. PM defends Ukraine refugee response after criticism MPs to fast-track law to toughen Russia sanctions Sir Lindsay said: "Every parliamentarian wants to hear directly from the president, who will be speaking to us live from Ukraine, so this is an important opportunity for the House. "Thanks again to our incredible staff for working at pace to make this historic address possible." Mr Zelensky, a former comedian and actor, has been the figurehead of Ukraine's struggle since Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces invaded the country last week. He has spoken frequently to Prime Minister Boris Johnson since the conflict started. On Monday, Mr Zelensky promised to punish anyone who commits atrocities against the Ukrainian people. "There will be no quiet place on Earth for you, except for the grave," the president said. At Prime Minister's Questions last week, MPs stood to applaud Vadym Prystaiko, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, who watched parliamentary proceedings from the Commons gallery. THE SITE

More than one million people have now fled Ukraine, with the EU suggesting that number could rise to four million. The scale of the tragedy is still unfolding - and while the focus is rightly on the humanitarian disaster, it's meant some people have had to make agonising decisions about what to take with them. And that includes what happens to their much-loved pets. "The devastation caused by some of these rocket attacks, that open environment full of glass, concrete and metal is dangerous to people but also to animals," James Sawyer, UK director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) tells Radio 1 Newsbeat. His organisation supports shelters in Ukraine and has been supplying resources like food, veterinary supplies and paying the wages of staff during the war to ensure animals can carry on being looked after. "Local supplies are running out, one of the two animal shelters we support has been damaged by shells, losing one of the animals," he adds. LIVE: Latest updates from on the ground THE BASICS: Why is Putin invading Ukraine? IN DEPTH: Full coverage of the conflict Emergency support James says it's "too unsafe to be able to put boots on the ground", so the IFAW is focusing on the best possible support remotely. They've been providing emergency aid to staff who've reported a dire situation with 1,100 dogs in their care. And staying to look after the animals is obviously dangerous. At one shelter, staff say they're too scared to light a fire in case it draws unnecessary attention. Crossing the border There are also issues trying to evacuate across the border, with rules around microchipping and vaccination for animals normally in place. PETA Germany has been on the border trying to "shepherd animals out safely", according to Jennifer White from the animal rights group. Like IFAW, she says the group is working with partner organisations in neighbouring Romania who've managed to get into Ukraine to rescue abandoned animals, along with offering to vaccinate dogs and cats. When you think of animals, it's not just about household pets. "Whenever an area is hit by war, those animals stuck in the zoo are dependent," Jennifer says. Reports suggest animals from the Save Wild bear sanctuary near Kyiv were transported to Poland, where a zoo has offered them refuge for the duration of the war. But that's not the case everywhere, with staff at the Kyiv zoo reportedly saying the opportunity to evacuate its animals has now well and truly passed. "It's almost impossible to evacuate animals, because it's impossible to provide appropriate veterinary service and transportation," says Kyrylo Trantin, the zoo's chief. What can people in the UK do? Jennifer says people should be writing to their MPs to urge government action on relaxing rules to allow entry for people in the UK with their companion animals. A statement by DEFRA says are "strong biosecurity measures in place to protect the public and other animals from diseases". But it adds it recognises "the difficult and distressing situation" that Ukrainian nationals faced and the UK government was "looking at options to provide support" to those entering the UK with their pets. The charity Paws And Whiskers Sussex say they are working with groups in Romania, trying to empty as many shelters there to make space for Ukrainian animals, by getting the animals to the UK. "The plan is once the Ukrainian animals have received veterinary care and assessments, then we can also begin to find homes for them as well," says Hannah Carter, director of the group. James adds people shouldn't travel to the war zone and instead should support organisations doing expert work. "Most importantly, you need to remain committed for the long-term, because solutions for people and animals require that commitment and approach. THE SITE

Any mention of elastic reminds me of being a child. The snap of a rubber band sling-shot across a classroom. Playing dress-ups in tutus with white elastic running inside the waistband. The wide strap across a pair of jiffies. As an adult, I only ever notice elastic when it has stopped working and the slack material left behind is starting to annoy me. Most elastics are made of natural or synthetic rubber that have been mixed with other fibres. Imagine a very, very thin rubber band that has been woven with cotton or polyester yarn. Related: Caring for vintage T-shirts: ‘If you want it for a long time, treat it that way’ The key feature of elastic is its ability to stretch and retract to its original size and shape repeatedly. When elastic is damaged or aged this ability lessens. There are steps that can be taken to prolong the life and stretch of elastic, but sometimes it will need to be replaced. This week we got some expert advice on both prevention and the cure. Don’t over stretch Carolina Quintero Rodriguez, a fashion lecturer at RMIT University says, “when elastic fabrics are elongated beyond their stretchability or over an extended period of time, the fibres can break or lose the capability of returning to their original shape”. The force, frequency and size of the extension will also influence how long the elastic lasts. “It is important to reduce the stress of the fibre over time” she says, “so selecting the correct garment size is an important consideration when purchasing next-to-skin garments such as underwear, bras and swimwear.” Turn the heat down According to Quintero Rodriguez elastic fibres can be damaged by heat “so it is recommended to wash the garments with low temperature”. She suggests washing “the garments by hand or in a delicate/gentle machine cycle to avoid breakage of the fibre”. If machine washing is unavoidable, place the garments inside a washing bag to further reduce friction and protect the elasticity. Use a gentle detergent and keep elastic away from chemicals like chlorine and bleach, as they will also reduce its lifespan. Don’t put stretchy garments in the tumble drier for the same reason – the heat will damage the fibres. Instead, hang them up to dry, but be sure to dry anything with elastic or stretch out of sunlight. Replacing worn-out elastic Nicole Mallalieu, a fashion lecturer at the Australian College of the Arts, warns that when “elastic goes, it goes”. Depending on the garment, replacing elastic can be easy – or very difficult. If the elastic is encased and “you can move the elastic within the folded over edge of the fabric” – like an elasticated waist band on a pair of pants or skirt – replacing it is relatively straightforward. She says to unpick a bit of the casing and pull the old elastic out. It may require a small snip with scissors. Then take your new elastic, thread it through the end of a hair clip or safety pin and feed the clip or pin back through the casing. Do this by pushing the pin along so the fabric gathers up around it, hold the pin while you pull the fabric back over the new elastic. Repeat until the pin emerges around the other side, then knot or stitch the elastic ends together and use a few stitches to close up the hole. Related: Move quickly and make small changes: how to reduce the impact of your polyester clothes If the elastic has been stitched or over locked into the waistband, Mallalieu says “it can be trickier to change it”. If you are confident with a sewing machine and very patient, she says you can unpick it and sew on new elastic. Keep in mind that the elastic will stretch as you stitch it on, so cut it slightly shorter than you need, pin it in place with the desired tension and hold the fabric taught as you feed it through the sewing machine. If unpicking seems too tedious, she suggests seeing it as an opportunity to refashion the garment by cutting the whole section off and sewing on something different like a wide, stretch band. If the straps on a bra or singlet have lost their elasticity, they can be replaced. Mallalieu says you can buy “bra elastic at haberdashery shops and quickly swap those out”. If you’re worried about not doing a good job, it might be worth taking the pieces to a tailor who can do a more polished repair. Stretch fabrics Mallalieu says once the elastic goes in stretchy garments like swimwear and underwear, or anything with ribbing, there isn’t much you can do. But if just part of the garment – like the cuffs of a hoodie – have become loose they can be replaced as long as you’re handy with a sewing machine. Remove the stretched out ribbing with scissors or an un-picker, fold the new fabric to form a loop that mimics the old one, and use a sewing machine to attach it. She says to look for similar fabric it at your local haberdashery, or pick a contrasting colour that will compliment the piece. “If you can’t match the fabric,” she says, “see it is an opportunity … to refashion the garment … you could put a ruffle on the end or some wild fringing”. Mallalieu points out that by the time the elastic has worn out, the rest of the garment is usually looking pretty tatty anyhow, so it might be time to relegate it to cleaning or gardening attire.

Everton will not be taking up the offer of a £30million local authority loan to help fund their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock after sourcing alternative private funding but a £15m grant remains on the table. Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram confirmed in a statement the loan from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority would now not be required by the club. “Earlier this year Everton Football Club notified the LCRCA that it had found alternative sources of funding from the private sector and would therefore no longer require the £30m loan,” read the statement. “We are in contact about the next steps on the £15m grant that is intended to preserve the historical assets of Bramley-Moore Dock, support the wider development of the site, create jobs for local people and attract visitors to the region.” A funding package to cover the estimated £500m-plus cost of the waterfront stadium has yet to be announced but a £30m deal for first option to buy the naming rights secured by Alisher Usmanov appears unlikely to go any further at this stage. The club suspended involvement with the billionaire’s businesses, which sponsored the training ground, Goodison Park and women’s team, even before the Government sanctioned the oligarch for his ties to Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Samsung says personal information of consumers and employees was not affected in the breach. Samsung has suffered a cybersecurity breach, the company revealed on Monday. The South Korean technology giant explained that the breach resulted in the exposure of internal company data. Some of the data that was exposed to the hacking group included the source code for Samsung Galaxy smartphones, but personal data of customers or its employees was not affected. The Lapsus$ hacking group had previously claimed responsibility for the breach. The company said it has taken measures to prevent breaches in the future. On Monday, Samsung confirmed in a statement to Bloomberg News that it had suffered a cybersecurity breach, relating to certain “internal company data”. The company has not identified the group behind the hacking in the statement. “According to our initial analysis, the breach involves some source code relating to the operation of Galaxy devices, but does not include the personal information of our consumers or employees. Currently, we do not anticipate any impact to our business or customers,” Samsung explained in the statement. Last week, hacking group Lapsus$ claimed responsibility for an attack on Samsung, then uploaded a snapshot of the company's software gained from the attack online. The data exposed in the breach is said to include up to 190GB of data — including algorithms for bootloader source code and mobile biometric authentication — which has been uploaded as a torrent, according to a report by BleepingComputer. Lapsus$ previously claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Nvidia, publishing a 20GB archive out of 1TB of data stolen from the GPU manufacturer. Previously, the Lapsus$ hacking group had reportedly attempted to extort Nvidia, threatening to leak the company's data unless it open sourced its graphics drivers and disabled the limits on cryptocurrency mining on certain GPUs. Samsung has not revealed whether the hacking group made any demands, before publishing the data online. However, the company stated that the compromised data does not include the personal information of consumers of employees. “We have implemented measures to prevent further such incidents and will continue to serve our customers without disruption,” the company said its statement to Bloomberg.

Here's how you can break free from Apple Mail It’d be fair to say that much of the world runs on email, making it a must to have the best iOS email app for you. While tools like Slack, WhatsApp and Discord all exist for instant messaging, email remains the way many people communicate. Whether it’s sending projects for approval, connecting with a loved one, or simply sharing notes for the latest office meeting, there’s plenty of life in email yet. While your iPhone comes with Apple Mail installed, it’s not for everyone. Apple continues to improve it, but it can be a little clunky to use and lacks many of the more nuanced features of other email apps. iI’s also not much to look at. For basic sending and receiving messages, it’s great, but if you deal with a lot of emails, you may be looking for something flashier. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered with the best alternative email apps for iOS, all of which make smart changes to the basic formula. Microsoft Outlook It’s perhaps strange to trumpet Outlook as one of the best email apps for the iPhone, but it really is an excellent choice. Microsoft’s long-running email client looks better here than it ever has before, and it’s plenty powerful too. Its Smart Inbox works out which emails are important and snoozes the others for later. You can also swipe emails to perform quick actions (something that many other apps on this list do). Perhaps our favorite aspect though is that the calendar within Outlook is so good you can use it as your main planner. Its inclusion means that all your meetings and events, whether they’re from Google Calendar, iCloud, or elsewhere, are in one place. THE SITE

New H610 board makes the impossible possible Onda, a Chinese motherboard manufacturer, has released the H610M+ motherboard (via momomo_us), bringing support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory to Intel's 12th Generation Alder Lake processors. The only caveat is that users are limited to a single DIMM. The H610M+ comes with one DDR4 slot and one DDR5 slot. The motherboard accommodates DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 memory modules with a maximum capacity of 32GB. The H610 chipset only supports one DIMM per channel, which is why H610-based motherboards only have two memory slots. Conventional models either arrive with DDR5 or DDR4 slots, but the vendor decided to slip one of each into the H610M+ motherboard in Onda's case. The manufacturer didn't explain how the memory slots work, but we assume the motherboard can only support one type at a time. One major setback is that you can't run dual-channel memory on the Onda H610M+, resulting in a big hit on performance. You can lose up to 15% performance with DDR5 when running a single DIMM instead of a dual-DIMM setup. The H610M+, which conforms to the microATX form factor, has an 8-phase power delivery subsystem. It's a subtle design, so the motherboard only supports Alder Lake SKUs up to the Core i7 models and locks out consumers from the best CPUs. However, the motherboard does incorporate an additional 8-pin EPS power connector to ensure that the supported processors get enough juice. Onda's motherboard offers one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and one PCIe x1 slot for expansion. It also gives users three SATA III ports and one M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 slot for storage. There's an additional M.2 slot, but it's only for WiFi adapters. The motherboard's rear panel houses a PS/2 combo port, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and three standard 3.5mm audio jacks. There's also a USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 header onboard, adding another two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, respectively, to the mix. Finally, for consumers that won't be using a discrete graphics card, the H610M+ offers a VGA port and an HDMI port to tap into Alder Lake's integrated graphics. The Onda H610M+ has not yet arrived on any Chinese retailers, so the pricing remains a mystery. THE SITE

Ben Lee revealed that he is joining a secret Blizzard project during a recent episode of the Coin Concede podcast. In this week's episode of the Coin Concede podcast, Hearthstone game director Ben Lee announced he is leaving the team to work on a different, unannounced project within Blizzard. Lee also outlined a host of changes players can expect to see from Hearthstone in 2022. Lee has been Hearthstone's game director since the end of 2018, during which time he has overseen a slew of major changes to the long-running CCG, including the implementation of Hearthstone's "Rewards Track" season pass system. While initially met with fury over perceived reductions in player rewards, following some tweaking the Rewards Track is now a broadly-accepted part of Hearthstone. Lee's tenure as director also included the introduction of the Demon Hunter class, and his time leading the team was characterized by a more regular pace of balance updates and increased responsiveness to player feedback. Less successfully, following its troubled announcement, the Mercenaries mode has widely been deemed a whiff. On the business side, new forms of monetization have also ramped up substantially, with cosmetics being added to the main modes—Standard and Battlegrounds—at a bewildering rate. While not certain, many in the Hearthstone community believe that Lee has joined the same unannounced project as fellow Hearthstone vets Mike Donais and Peter Whalen. Given these developers' expertise, it would be reasonable to assume that this upcoming game will offer hybrid CCG-RPG gameplay akin to Hearthstone. Hearthstone content creator, RegisKillbin, speculates that it may even be a CCG-roguelike, a Blizzard take on Slay the Spire. As an aside, Blizzard has a different 'unannounced' game in the works, except that it actually has been announced: The studio is working on a survival game currently only known as "Unannounced Survival Game." Those working on the survival project have identified themselves, though, so if Lee were making a leap to a new genre, he probably would've just said so. The interview also contained quite a few tidbits about Hearthstone's past and future, including the tantalizing reveal that this year's expansion was almost cooking show-themed. That didn't happen, but Lee did mention that Hearthstone will receive multiple new card types in the coming year, stating: "One of the most exciting things about the coming, unnamed year, is that there's actually a bunch of new card types that we've been experimenting with that are really interesting and fun." Unsurprisingly, he didn't offer any detail beyond that, but Lee did expand a bit on the team's thinking: "We wanted to try some really interesting stuff to push Standard in a little bit of a different direction with some new interesting takes on card types, so hopefully players enjoy those and we look forward to hearing what they think." Until now, Hearthstone has only had four card types, with the newest, heroes, having been introduced all the way back in 2017. The introduction of multiple new types in the same year would likely have a substantial effect on the way the game is played. Despite its age, Lee also noted that Hearthstone continues to maintain a huge player base and makes more money than many AAA games, despite a backdrop of serious and shocking allegations concerning endemic workplace harassment at Blizzard that surfaced last year.

Capercaillie could be wiped out in Scotland within the next 30 years, scientists have said. Numbers of the large grouse have declined markedly since the 1970s and there may now be fewer than 1,100 of the birds left. In continental Europe, the birds' conservation status is not rated as a concern but they are considered to be an endangered species in Scotland. Most capercaillie are found in the Cairngorms National Park. A report by a sub-group of the NatureScot scientific advisory committee said the birds' breeding success was too low, and they could disappear from Scotland within the next two to three decades. Factors behind the decline include foxes, crows and pine martens eating eggs and young birds, disturbance by visitors to areas where capercaillie breed and also fatal collisions with deer fences. Grazing cattle boost capercaillie habitat Feather DNA research in bid to save capercaillie The sub-group has suggested a number of action, including controlling foxes and crows by diverting them to alternative food sources, or killing them. Pine martens could be trapped and released elsewhere. They have previously been relocated from Scotland to parts of England. Removing deer fences, and creating larger refuges free of human disturbance have also been suggested. Biodiversity Minister Lorna Slater said: "Capercaillie are magnificent birds and an iconic species for Scotland, so I am deeply concerned that their po[CENSORED]tion continues to decline. "This underlines the need to redouble our efforts to work in partnership and at the landscape scale to reverse these declines." She said the report's recommendations would be carefully considered and NatureScot would continue its work with other organisations on conservation projects, such as the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project. The Scottish Gamekeepers Association said capercaillie numbers had suffered because predators had not been controlled for years. Chairman Alex Hogg said: "Gamekeepers have been lone voices, often discredited when speaking about capercaillie. "This science is an endorsement that they were correct. Now we need to undo the years of waste, and mis-spent public money, and get on and save this iconic species." The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, which supports what it calls effective predator controls, said there should be a commitment to lethal control of foxes, "however unpalatable this may be in certain quarters". It also said access to certain areas of land for dog walkers, hillwalkers and mountain bikers should be restricted during the breeding season. The capercaillie is a native species that became extinct in Britain in the mid-18th Century. The main cause for the extinction was thought to have been a catastrophic loss of its woodland habitat. Birds from Sweden were reintroduced into Perthshire in 1837, followed by later reintroductions to Scottish pinewoods. In the UK, capercaillie are only found in pine woodlands in parts of Scotland.

The length of visas for people fleeing Ukraine to join relatives in the UK is to be increased from 12 months to three years, the government has announced. Home Secretary Priti Patel said this would give those escaping the war certainty and more time to find work. But Labour wants the scheme to be widened to include Ukrainian refugees without relatives in the UK. The United Nations says more than one million people have left Ukraine since Russia invaded last week. And the UK government has faced criticism that its scheme is not as generous as the EU's plan to allow all Ukrainian refugees to stay for up to three years. Fleeing Ukrainians urge UK to offer more support 'Eight days of war like eight years' Labour calls for emergency visas for Ukrainians The UK's initial offer was to allow refugees with immediate family members settled in the UK to come for up to 12 months without first having to seek asylum. On Tuesday, the eligible group was widened to include parents, grandparents and siblings. Ukrainian refugees urge UK to offer more support Tania Shevereva, 30, and her mother Iryna sought refuge in the mountains when bombing began in Kyiv. They travelled for 28 hours through Slovakia to reach Prague in the Czech Republic. Iryna has been with her British partner Jock Mendoza-Wilson long enough to qualify under the government's scheme. But Tania does not think she will be able to join Iryna in the UK. "Of course I want to be close to my mum. She has a problem with her heart and she is crying all the time so I am worried about her," says Tania, an art director. "When you are close, you can check and you can make her comfortable. But if she is far away, I will worry much more." Read the full story Ms Patel announced the trebling of the UK visa period during a visit to a refugee registration centre on the Ukraine-Poland border on Friday. "We are giving people certainty… that they can come and stay for three years, they have access to benefits and they have the chance to work," she said. The Home Office has waived normal requirements for salary or language tests, but security checks will remain in place. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said up to 200,000 people could be eligible to come to the UK. But Labour argues the criteria for the scheme are too narrow, as they do not allow people without relations in the UK to get emergency visas. "Most [Ukrainians] want to stay close to home, especially those who have had to leave relatives behind, but the UK must play its part to help people seeking support and safety in our country too," said shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper. Almost 650,000 people have gone from Ukraine to Poland since the war began, according to the United Nations. Hungary has taken in almost 145,000 people, while Moldova has seen more than 103,000 arrivals. THE SITE

The Duchess of Cambridge has re-worn a pair of boots she first wore over a decade ago. During an engagement in Wales this week, Kate Middleton wore a pair of £245 Aquatalia Rouge boots — the same pair she was first seen wearing during one of her first engagements as a to-be royal in 2011. She also wore the boots in 2012 to one of her first solo royal engagements after she married Prince William in 2011. The sartorial selection comes as the Duchess appears to be making a more conscious choice to rewear clothes from her royal wardrobe. Last year, Kate wore the same Alexander McQueen jacket to the Remembrance Sunday service that she wore in 2018. 2021 also saw the Duchess rewear a pair of Penelope Chilvers long tassel boots that she’s worn to various engagements for the past 18 years and she wore a sparkly green Jenny Packham gown to the 2021 Royal Variety Performance that she had initially worn in 2019. During the inaugural Earthshot Prize Awards last year, which was set up by William to award environmental innovators, the Duke and Duchess encouraged attendees to make sustainable choices with what they wore. To the awards ceremony, Kate donned an Alexander McQueen gown she last wore a decade ago, while William complemented his green velvet blazer and dark turtleneck with a pair of 20-year old trousers. Other celebrities at the awards included Emma Watson, who walked the green carpet wearing a custom Harris Reed outfit made of 10 upcycled wedding dresses from Oxfam. Dame Emma Thompson also made an appearance, sporting a dark blue suit paired with white trainers — a look she last wore in 2018 when she received her damehood. THE SITE

More than 1.3 million Ukrainians have crossed borders since the Russian invasion started on the 24 February in what the United Nations is now calling Europe’s fastest-moving refugee crisis since the end of the second world war. Figures released today by the United Nation’s Refugee Agency (UNHCR) show that to date 1.37 million people have fled Ukraine into neighbouring European countries after the military offensive ordered by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. “This is the fastest-moving refugee crisis we have seen in Europe since the end of the second world war,” UNHCR head Filippo Grandi said. Related: As 1.3 million people flee, Ukraine’s refugee crisis is only just beginning According to data from UNHCR, the speed of the exodus is already bigger than the migration crisis of 2015, when 1.3 million asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, fleeing poverty and wars, entered Europe. Christine Pirovolakis, senior external relations officer for UNHCR in the UK, said: “Looking at the trends and latest data, it is highly possible that the number of people fleeing Ukraine may reach 1.5 million by tonight, the latest tomorrow.” Most Ukrainians (53%) are heading west into Poland, which has so far welcomed about 756,303 people, followed by Hungary, with 157,004. As the situation continues to unfold, an estimated 4 million people may flee Ukraine to escape the escalating violence. Grandi told Reuters that so far most refugees who have crossed into neighbouring countries are not staying at the borders but moving on to friends, family and other connections already living in Europe. Yet he warned that future waves expected in the coming weeks would be more difficult for European to manage. The village of Medyka in south-eastern Poland remains the main border crossing with Ukraine. Thousands of refugees are crossing the border by bus, car and on foot every day, mostly women and children, as Ukrainian men aged 18-60 are currently forbidden from leaving the country. The mass exodus is proving difficult to manage, with queues of waiting cars stretching over 14km and people waiting up to 40 hours to cross. Small children are standing all day in freezing temperatures to cross with their families. Alongside Ukrainian refugees are groups of foreign nationals from countries including Pakistan, Ghana, Morocco and Somalia, many of them students, but also workers and asylum seekers. There have been reports of foreign nationals being racially abused and discriminated against as they tried to cross to safety. Ukrainian nationals will be given the right to live and work in the European Union for up to three years without having to claim asylum after emergency measures were approved by European states. However, these rights have not been extended to people fleeing Ukraine from other countries, who will still have to claim asylum. It is currently unclear how they will be processed once they pass into neighbouring countries. THE SITE

Samsung hasn’t provided any details about the throttling of handsets. Samsung has announced that it will soon issue a software update for its various smartphones that were found to be throttling performance on thousands of apps, as per a report. The South Korean tech giant said its preloaded Game Optimizing Service does not manage the performance of non-gaming apps. The performance dip was noted for some games such as Genshin Impact as well as apps including Instagram, Netflix, and some Google apps. It is to be noted that benchmarking apps like 3DMark and Geekbench did not appear to be affected by the performance throttling. “We value the feedback we receive about our products and after careful consideration, we plan to roll out a software update soon so users can control the performance while running game apps,” Samsung spokesperson Kelly Yeo told The Verge. The company reportedly posted a statement on its Samsung Members app in Korean language. A Twitter user later translated and posted it online. Various Samsung Galaxy smartphone users took to Twitter to report throttling issues on their handsets. A Twitter user alleged that Samsung phones are using a preloaded app called Game Optimizing Service to limit the use of hardware resources for more than 10,000 apps. It was reported that the default app runs in the background when using both non-gaming and gaming apps. It was also believed that the throttling issue was limited to Samsung Galaxy S22 series handsets. However, Geekbench developer John Poole verified that the limiting of performance is also seen on older models. The exact reason why Samsung is allegedly throttling the performance of its devices through the Game Optimizing Service is unclear, and the company hasn't provided any details about the same in its statement. It is being speculated that the limiting of CPU and GPU resources could be to provide better battery life and avoid overheating issues to some extent. THE SITE

Pure Paste could solve copy and paste anger for good A new free macOS app looks to finally solve one of the most frustrating issues plaguing users today when it comes to having to copy and paste text. We've all been there - you've copied some text from a web page or word document, but when pasting it into a new location, the original formatting has caused it to suffer problems that range from a minor inconvenience to throwing off the layout of the whole document. Now, Pure Paste looks to provide an end to this most annoying headache by pasting plain text by default, hopefully spelling an end to formatting issues across all your files. Pure Paste Available now from the App Store for free, Pure Paste looks to remove all formatting from any copied text, which now transfers to its new pasted location without any unwanted issues. The app runs in the background, sitting in the macOS menu bar, and looks to replace the current (and rather over-complicated) method of pressing Command+Shift+Option+V for format-free pasting on a Mac. On its App Store page, developer Sindre Sorhus noted that Pure Paste clears all formatting, including fonts, colors, bold, links, tables and more, with users also able to choose to manually clear formatting whenever needed instead of automatically via the menubar icon or a keyboard shortcut. The app only focuses on text, staying clear of unrelated content such as files and images, and also ignores content copied from password managers. And whilst it does access your clipboard, Sorhus noted that it doesn't store any data, or even connect to the internet at all. Despite being one of the most po[CENSORED]r shortcuts for users everywhere, copy and paste still receives regular upgrades attempting to make the service better. Most recently, Microsoft and Google were revealed to be developing a new set of Chromium APIs that will extend the functionality of the copy-and-paste feature across their respective web browsers. Microsoft also boasts the Cloud Clipboard utility, which allows users to copy-and-paste items across multiple devices, including smartphones via the Microsoft-owned SwiftKey Keyboard for Android tool.

Lapsus$ has released what it claims to be some proprietary Samsung code. Lapsus$, a hacking extortion group that previously targetted Nvidia, has begun crowing about a significant Samsung data leak that it has architected. The hackers claimed they plundered about 200GB of compressed data from Samsung servers, including confidential documentation, code, and other proprietary information. More specifically, Lapsus$ claims to have its hands on Knox authentication code, biometric unlock algorithms, bootloader code for all recent Samsung devices, Trusted Applet source code, code behind online services and Samsung accounts, and much more. If the claims are correct, Samsung has suffered a significant and potentially very damaging leak due to the actions of these South American hackers. From the notices published by the group, it is difficult to pinpoint the most crucial data leak, as they all sound so very central to the security of Samsung devices. One in every five smartphones sold worldwide is a Samsung Galaxy device, so Samsung won't just feel the potential fallout from this hack; it has hundreds of millions of users to consider. In trying to determine the nature and contents of the Samsung hack, Bleeping Computer has pondered over the extortion gang's claims, shared screenshots, and a downloadable file-set containing the leaked data. The screenshot reveals some C/C++ code from Samsung software open in an editor. The contents of the leak are available via the BitTorrent protocol. About 400 peers shared the pilfered Samsung content, so this is a rather po[CENSORED]r lump of data. Interestingly, Bleeping Computer downloaded the small ReadMe.txt from the torrent, and it explains the contents of the trio of 7Zip archives as follows: Archive part 1: contains a dump of source code and related data about Security/Defense/Knox/Bootloader/TrustedApps and various other items Archive part 2: contains a dump of source code and related data about device security and encryption Archive part 3: contains various repositories from Samsung Github: mobile defense engineering, Samsung account backend, Samsung pass backend/frontend, and SES (Bixby, Smartthings, Store) Nvidia then Samsung - who's next? You may well know of the name Lapsus$ from our coverage of the Nvidia hack over the last week or so. Around five days ago, the online extortionists threatened to release Nvidia's LHR code - part of a claimed 1TB data haul it had gathered over the preceding week. Nvidia reacted the next day with its first official statement about the code theft. At the same time, Lapsus$ ramped up its financial demands - asking for a payoff to keep Nvidia's data under wraps. The financial sums at stake became apparent, as Lapsus$ had put a sticker price of $1 million on keeping the LHR bypass code secret. Most recently, Nvidia was jabbed by the hackers again yesterday. Lasus$ appeared to release credentials of 71,355 Nvidia employees, perhaps as another warning that the green team needs to pay up for it to shut up. We don't have any evidence of Samsung and Lapsus$ quibbling over payoffs. That doesn't mean the extortionists didn't try to extract cash from Samsung before going public today. It seems likely that Samsung has resisted any financial demands, and that is why we are seeing this seemingly sensitive data distributed today. Hopefully, other companies will see Nvidia and Samsung's examples as obvious warnings that they could be next and will carefully examine and invest in their IT security. THE SITE

The mod lets you move the camera around freely at the cost of playing offline. Elden Ring is a stunningly beautiful game composed of wide vistas that look ripped from the romantic period of art. It also has a lot of cute dogs and terrifying enemies. By default, you have to use the Telescope item and disable the UI to take photos, but now you can install a mod that puts a proper photo mode into the game. Frans "Otis_Inf" Bouma has released unofficial photo mode tools for Elden Ring, which will be free until March 10. Like with the mod that lets you pause the game and the cheats you can use, you have to play the game offline to avoid getting banned while using it. But if you can deal without player messages and co-op, you can boot up the mod to move the camera freely around the environment, make yourself invisible to enemies (like Margit, the Fell Omen), change the FoV, hide the UI, and pause the game. Be sure to follow the instructions in the mod folder to run it. It requires you to drag a file into your Elden Ring install directory that renames a file to disable Easy Anti-Cheat and forces the game into offline mode. It's reversible by dragging the file back out, but mandatory before you boot the game up so you don't get banned from playing online in the future. It's a risk worth taking, because Elden Ring deserves to be captured via a photo mode. Our own Fraser Brown argued for this earlier this week: "The lack of a photo mode is so much more noticeable and regrettable in Elden Ring not just because it's so damn striking—it also gives you the space and time to explore its sights without risking death with every screenshot. It's worth making an offline-only character to run through the game and snapshot all the beautiful trees and ruins. And with the pause feature, you might be able to capture your imminent death to all of the horrifying monsters in it too. Elden Ring was meant to be gawked at, and I'm glad we can finally do that—even if it means breaking the rules a little bit. I just hope Bandai Namco doesn't make Bouma take the tools down when they eventually require a subscription to their Patreon, which Crytek did earlier this year. THE SITE
