  4. AMD late on Tuesday said that it had begun to investigate claims that its internal network, containing sensitive information, had been breached, reports Bloomberg. The first report about the alleged breach by Intelbroker, a notorious cybercriminal, emerged earlier on June 18 at The Cyber Express. The data that the hackers have allegedly obtained spans details of future products to customer databases, and may also include employee details. "We are aware of a cybercriminal organization claiming to be in possession of stolen AMD data," a statement by AMD published by Bloomberg reads. "We are working closely with law enforcement officials and a third-party hosting partner to investigate the claim and the significance of the data." Intelbroker reportedly stole and is now trying to sell a vast array of AMD's data, including detailed specifications of upcoming products, property files, ROMs, firmware, internal communications, and source code. Additionally, the pilfered data comprises financial records and comprehensive employee information such as user IDs, names, job roles, phone numbers, and email addresses. This information could jeopardize AMD's competitive edge and thus the breach raises concerns about intellectual property theft and corporate espionage. Samples of the stolen data shared on BreachForums demonstrate the potential gravity of this breach. Screenshots and snippets from AMD’s internal systems provide insights into the extent of the compromised information. This is not AMD's first encounter with cybersecurity challenges. In 2022, the company was targeted by the RansomHouse hacking group, which also claimed to have extracted data from AMD's networks. That incident led to an extensive investigation by AMD to assess the damage and bolster its security measures. High-profile data breaches happen from time to time. A couple of years ago hackers stole the credentials of 71,000 Nvidia employees. Probably one of the most significant data breaches also happened in 2022, when hackers stole 122GB of data containing roadmaps of leading high-tech companies from Gigabyte. Intelbroker, the alleged perpetrator of this breach, is known for a series of high-profile cyber intrusions targeting diverse organizations. Notable incidents involving Intelbroker include infiltrations at Los Angeles International Airport, exposing personal and flight details, and compromising U.S. federal agencies through Acuity. Intelbroker's motives seem to range from financial gain through the sale of stolen data to potential geopolitical agendas aimed at disrupting critical infrastructure. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/amd-working-with-law-enforcement-after-reports-of-massive-data-breach-hack-may-have-uncovered-future-product-details
  5. Going into Still Wakes the Deep, I was confident in my ability to withstand the horror cliches that I knew were about to come my way. But, instead of just dealing with your typical chase scenes and jumpscares, The Chinese Room decided to pull something out of its sleeve that I hadn't experienced before—the most traumatic dialogue and voice acting I've ever heard in a horror game. You play as Caz McLeary, an electrical engineer on the Beira D oil rig running from the law and some stupid decisions. Despite his past mistakes, Caz is a breath of fresh air for a few reasons: he's likeable, funny, and quite pragmatic when making life-and-death decisions, which happens to be what I value in a protagonist. But the best part of playing as Caz is that he's already been on the rig for a while, so you don't have to worry about getting to know your co-workers—meaningful relationships have already been established. Still Wakes the Deep skips the usual slog of tutorial-like character introductions and just throws you into the meat of the story, and all of the interactions feel natural and worthwhile. Entering the canteen for the first time was surprisingly sweet. Sitting down at a table with Brodie and Rafs, I found out that it was Rafs' first dive and that he was more than a little scared. While I wouldn't trade places with him, he seemed like he was in good hands with Brodie, someone with more experience. Then there was Trots' passionate speech to Gibbo and O'Connor about unionisation and how the Beira D was falling apart because Westminster was too greedy for its own good. These short interactions told me everything I wanted to know about my place on the Beira D and only made what came next all the more traumatic. After drilling through something that was probably best left alone, the rig descends into chaos. With communication patchy thanks to a selfish manager named Rennick and decaying safety mechanisms making escape impossible, you and the crew end up putting out fires in the hope that someone will notice the radio silence and come help. No one takes charge, so most of the time I just darted around the rig desperately trying to save as many people as I could, all while fixing the Beira D, which mostly just involved pressing buttons in a certain order or flicking the right switches. Usually, I enjoy having more complex puzzles in horror games as a way to break up the action, but I didn't miss them this time as the excellent story made up for it—it's more interesting than any keycode puzzle I've come across. Plus, if you don't fix everything in a timely fashion, the rig will explode into a flaming ball of gas and oil, taking you and everyone else down with it. But even with all your expert button pushing, you can't rescue everyone. In the chaos and fear, sometimes all I could do was try to ignore the blood-curdling screams for help echoing from the people I'd grown so fond of as I ran to my next objective. The hardest moment had to be a short phone call I had with a friend who was trapped in the lower levels of the rig. As the small room he sat in filled with gas and water, all I could do was listen as he came to terms with his death and then let out one last panicked whimper for help as the water finally touched his leg. Weather the storm The monster that arrives on the Beira D isn't as novel as Still Wakes the Deep's surprisingly emotional story and superb voice acting, as most horror games involve some kind of bizarre and violent creature. But that still didn't stop me from breaking into a cold sweat every time it got too close. The interior of the rig is constantly morphing and breaking around the creature, which means it could be anywhere at any time. But once I realised that the strange bubbles and colours around my screen signified where and how close the monster was, I found it easier to make my way through the rig undetected, mostly by hiding in lockers or under debris or by throwing cans and bottles I found lying around to distract the monster so I could make a break for it. But even with all of that, getting chased through dark hallways or flooded areas by something recklessly barreling down the rig took at least a couple of years off my life—it never got easier. At one point, I was cowering in the vents after I thought I had outrun the monster, only for its grotesque head to burst through the vent cover like Jack Nicholson in The Shining and almost give another heart attack. Thankfully, Still Wakes the Deep isn't as exhausting as some other horror games, which are full of relentless jumpscares and chase sequences. For example, while I liked Amnesia: The Bunker, its psychological horror pushed me over the edge too much for me to even think about playing it again. Whereas Still Wakes the Deep strikes a good balance between horror and action, which meant I wasn't constantly petrified. Venturing outside the rig gave me a break from the monster's terrifying antics as I dealt with the adrenaline rush of jumping over broken walkways, reacting to quick time events, and clambering over rusty pillars, all while terrified of plummeting into the icy cold ocean below me. My time split between inside and outside the rig was just right, so I never got bored or overwhelmed with either. This impressive achievement helped make Still Wakes the Deep feel very concise. I never found myself grumbling over pointless action or horror, which felt like it was added to pad out the run time. Still Wakes the Deep also looks superb. I spent a lot of time taking pretty pictures around the rig, even when I was on the verge of death. The loading scenes between major locations never lasted too long (most of the time, I was just happy to have a break), and I only experienced one black screen towards the end. There's also a lot of settings to customise, almost all of my advanced graphics were scaled to the highest option with no issue on my RTX 3070, and you can also remap keyboard bindings or adjust controller settings easily. I also really appreciated the granular accessibility settings. There are tons of options for subtitles and interface appearance as well as three kinds of colour blind modes (deuteranope, protanope, and tritanope). For me, the motion sickness adjustments were a lifesaver. I always scale down the FOV and while the head bob and roll may seem very realistic, it was just too much for me to handle while also staring out on a rocky sea. If you can bear with the emotional toll and terrifying moments, then Still Wakes the Deep is an experience that I couldn't recommend more highly. Its unsettling monster and horrific setting are elevated by something that's rare in horror games: meaningful relationships with other characters. (Sadly, your friendships don't tend to last long.) https://www.pcgamer.com/still-wakes-the-deep-review/
  6. The 2025 BMW X3 xDrive30 utilizes a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system. The X3 M50 gains a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a 48-volt hybrid system pumping out 393 ponies. The X3 xDrive30 starts at $50,675, and the X3 M50 opens at $65,275. These days, BMW sells more SUVs than sedans and coupes combined. Globally, its bestseller is now the X3, which has superseded the 3-series as BMW's bread-and-butter offering since its launch over 20 years ago. Now for 2025, BMW is launching a new X3 that arrives with a funky new look, an overhauled infotainment system, and a pair of upgraded engines. Fresh New Style The X3—which BMW calls the fourth generation but really amounts to a substantial revision of the outgoing one—has a new design featuring crisp creases and ornate details. The 2025 model measures 1.3 inches longer and 1.1 inches wider than its predecessor, while sitting 1.0 inch lower. This results in a sportier stance that emulates the 738-hp plug-in-hybrid XM SUV, accentuated by beefy wheel arches and a long roof spoiler. Two X3 models will be offered, the xDrive30 and M50. (BMW is dropping the letter "i," which formerly indicated fuel injection, from its gas-powered models; "i" is now exclusive to BMW's EVs.) The X3 debuts a new take on BMW's iconic kidney grille for the base model, featuring a clashing mix of vertical and diagonal bars, while the M50 gets a simpler blacked-out look. The outline of the grille is illuminated as standard on the M50—an option on the xDrive30—while the headlights are comprised of overlapping L-shaped elements decorated with either black or blue trim, depending on the model. The more potent M50 gets an assertive front bumper with larger intakes. The xDrive30 rides on 19-inch wheels as standard, with 20- and 21-inch options. While the xDrive30's tailpipes are hidden, the M50 proudly displays twin exhaust tips on either side of the rear bumper. A Modern Cabin Inside, the cabin packs a bold look highlighted by unusual ambient lighting. The lighting can display contrasting colors and forms U-shaped elements on the center console and door panels, creating borders around the air vents, door handles, and some of the door-mounted buttons. The futuristic lighting is accompanied by a large curved display that houses a digital gauge cluster and a touchscreen, and although BMW didn't provide dimensions, the screens look appropriately large. The X3 runs the newest software, BMW iDrive 9, which has led BMW to further reduce the number of physical controls in the interior. The new system supports apps for video streaming, music, and in-car gaming, and the navigation system now includes 3-D and satellite views. A head-up display remains optional, and BMW says it upgraded the voice assistant to better communicate when it's listening for commands. The steering wheel has a flat bottom, and a new gear-selector toggle lives on the center console. As standard, the seats are electronically adjustable and heated. On the base model, the seats are wrapped in BMW's Veganza faux-leather, but they can be upgraded with Alcantara accents or replaced with Merino leather chairs. For the first time, the dashboard can be upholstered in a woven fabric created from recycled polyester. Efficient and Potent Engines The xDrive30 model is motivated by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system. The powertrain produces 255 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, an increase of seven ponies and 37 pound-feet. BMW says the xDrive30 will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. BMW also boasts of improved efficiency thanks to the use of the Miller combustion cycle, redesigned intake ports and combustion chambers, and a revised ignition system, among other changes. The M50, meanwhile, packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a 48-volt hybrid system. Output is a healthy 393 hp and 428 pound-feet of torque, an extra 11 hp and 59 pound-feet over the previous M40i model. BMW says 60 mph arrives from a standstill in 4.4 seconds, and the 130-mph top speed can be extended to 155 mph with an optional package. On both powertrains, the electric motor is integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission and can either add to the engine's output or ease the engine's load. The six-cylinder receives similar efficiency-minded upgrades to the four-cylinder as well an optimized oil supply system for the pistons and a better high-performance turbocharger. BMW also says the M50 is fitted with an "extremely rigid" engine mount. The M50 rides on an adaptive suspension with electronically controlled dampers, combined with variable sport steering and an M Sport rear differential. M Sport brakes—fixed four-piston units up front and floating single-piston calipers at the rear—help bring things to a halt. Most of this content is also optional on the xDrive30. When equipped with a trailer hitch, the X3 can tow up to 4850 pounds. Packed with Tech As with any new luxury car, there are plenty of driving and parking assists, from lane-keep assist to blind-spot detection to a newly optional Parking Assistant Professional package that takes into account other vehicles, road markings, and the curb to identify the borders of a parking space. The SUV can also be controlled from outside the vehicle via the My BMW app, allowing you to remotely navigate the X3 into and out of tight spots. Using the Maneuver Assistant program, you can store up to 10 maneuvers with a total length of up to 650 yards. There is also a Traffic Jam Assistant that can complete hands-free driving at speeds up to 40 mph on limited-access highways. The U.S.-market X3 will continue to be produced at BMW's plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with sales kicking off in the fourth quarter of this year. The X3 xDrive30 will start at $50,675, while the X3 M50 will cost $65,275 before options. This represents just a $780 increase over the outgoing xDrive30i, although the 2024 model also offered a $2780 cheaper rear-wheel-drive model. The new M50 is $2380 more than the 2024 X3 M40i. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a61160830/2025-bmw-x3-revealed/
  7. Rishabh Pant (left) and Yuzvendra Chahal share a joke during their warm-up for the T20 World Cup. Photograph: Alex Davidson/ICC/Getty Images It must have felt hallucinatory for Rishabh Pant. A T20 World Cup match in Nassau County, New York is unusual at the best of times; it becomes even stranger as the scene of a long-awaited competitive return to international cricket, the end of a 17-month absence that could so easily have been permanent. India’s wicketkeeper entered at 22 for one, the target a meagre 97 against Ireland, but the track posing enough danger to force Rohit Sharma off with a blow to the upper arm. So much time away could prompt concern, coerce the hands to grip the bat a little tighter. The feet try to remember how they once moved under the eyes of millions while the mind tries to focus on the only thing that matters: the ball. But Pant doesn’t really do nerves. A straight slap for four got him off the mark, and a couple of hits to the body followed before he ended the match with a reverse-swat for six, leaving him unbeaten on 36. He had been in fine touch in late 2022, too, stroking 93 against Bangladesh in Mirpur to end the calendar year with 680 Test runs at 61.81, his strike rate above 90. The numbers matched his ability as the most captivating wicketkeeper-batter of his generation. A first one-day hundred for India in July against England was a handy achievement before a 50-over World Cup at home the following year. To close out a momentous 12 months, Pant drove from Delhi to Roorkee, Uttarakhand, to see his mother. He never made it there. Driving in the early hours of 30 December 2022, Pant, according to police, “dozed off” before his car hit a central divider, flipped and burst into flames. “I had taken an SUV, but what I was seeing was a sedan,” he went on to joke in an interview with Star Sports. He was rescued, moved from one hospital to another before being airlifted to Mumbai for knee ligament surgery. He would later admit to feeling, in the immediate moments of the crash, that his time was up. There were fears his right leg would be amputated. Now comes the Spin’s rather shameful confession. Upon hearing the news, there was the first reaction: hoping that Pant was alive and on course for a full recovery. Then there was the guilty one: when is he back? Is he going to miss the four Tests against Australia? Is Wriddhiman Saha still about? It is the affliction of fandom, to easily ignore the pain of the athlete and the monotony of hours in the gym, reducing the bruised and battered body to one line on a Sky Sports News ticker while demanding a swift and successful return to the field. Rest up, get back on and do not dare show any signs of rust. Pant, of course, was just grateful to be alive as he embarked on a lengthy period of rehabilitation. He documented it on social media, celebrating “NO MORE CRUTCHES Day!” in May last year before posting a video in June of him making it up the stairs twice: the first time in great pain, the second time in much less. Given an 18-month recovery timeline by his doctor, he wanted to make it 12. His return to the game landed somewhere in-between, coming this March for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, where he finished as his side’s leading run-scorer in the tournament. India could not help but get him straight back in at No 3 for the World Cup, with Pant probably the only option capable of headlining after an opening act of Rohit and Virat Kohli. Rishabh Pant’s burnt out SUV after his crash in Uttarakhand in December 2022. Photograph: AP An Indian cricketer’s greatest fear is, surely, being forgotten. The options are plentiful, a queue of plug-and-play replacements waiting for their audition, and India did not lose many while Pant was away. The gloves were passed around a few times in the Test side, but they fitted Dhruv Jurel’s hands perfectly earlier this year, the 23-year-old newcomer hitting 90 and an unbeaten 39 in Ranchi to secure a series victory over England. But India also lost two finals last year against Australia, both of them decided by the fearlessness of a see-ball-hit-ball left-hander. While Travis Head won his side the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup, India were not able to showcase their own version. Pant remains unique in the most populous country in the world. There are others like him in the shorter forms but no one else capable of matching his tempo in whites, no one else reverse-flicking Jimmy Anderson over the slip cordon with the second new ball. India managed without Kohli when beating Australia on their own patch three and a half years ago but they could not have done it without Pant’s audacity in pulling off a final-day chase at the Gabba, where no visiting side had won a Test since 1988. These are early days in the comeback, with no guarantees that a 26-year-old making his way back from a life-threatening incident will return to the path he was on a couple of years ago: to end up as one of the best the game has ever seen. Then again, such a lofty prediction is another affliction of fandom. For now, the sight of Pant simply swinging the bat around should provide enough joy to us all. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jun/19/rishabh-pant-return-prompts-relief-guilty-secret
  8. Sarah Brooks: ‘I remember feeling I could do anything.’ Photograph: Courtesy of Sarah Brooks In 2001, after spending a year studying in Beijing as part of our degree, two friends and I decided to travel to Mongolia and Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway. We did everything as cheaply as possible, to the extent that I was terrified we were going to be flung off the train at the Mongolia-Russia border, because we’d got our visas from a tiny, dodgy-looking agency in a random tower block in Beijing. Being worried was pretty much my default state at that time. I found talking to strangers difficult, and struggled to raise my hand in class. I was always terrified of making mistakes. Though it wasn’t a devastating shyness, I envied the way that friends and classmates always seemed at home in different groups and situations – a feeling that had always eluded me. Studying Chinese was both a way of facing my fears head-on and a constant source of anxiety, as it demanded a willingness to make a complete fool of myself (the perils of a tonal language) and a confidence that I felt I just didn’t have. But, by the end of our year in Beijing, I was definitely making progress, and starting to feel more comfortable plunging into what had once felt like the high-wire balancing act of every conversation. ‘We spent hours watching the landscape roll past.’ Photograph: Courtesy of Sarah Brooks On this journey, though, the Chinese we’d been learning didn’t do us any good, as almost all the other passengers were Mongolian. But, despite the language barrier, we soon found ourselves lulled into the rhythm of life on the train, its closed world creating oddly intimate relationships (although the unfortunate gentleman who found himself sharing our cabin took one look at us and left, never to be seen on the journey again). We spent hours watching the Russian landscape roll past. We jumped off the train at short station stops, as our fellow passengers laid out their goods on the ground, selling a few T-shirts or quilts before rolling everything up again, moments before the train left. We bought smoked fish from elderly ladies at the Irkutsk stop. We played cards in the guards’ cabin, communicating in a bit of shared Chinese, and in gestures and guesses, and vodka washed down with shots of milk. ‘The closed world of the train created oddly intimate relationships.’ Photograph: Courtesy of Sarah Brooks There’s a point on the journey where the train crosses the border between Asia and Europe, and we decided to celebrate with a drink in the dining car. When we arrived, we walked straight into a party – music blaring, vodka flowing, boxes of chocolates being passed around. We were welcomed in, and crossed the border dancing to Robbie Williams and Mongolian pop, glancing outside just in time to glimpse the white obelisk that is the only sign of the meeting of continents. It was a moment I remember with a vivid sense of happiness – not because we were back in Europe but because I was here, on a train with people I’d just met, with a language we didn’t share, a long way from anywhere I knew and feeling absolutely exhilarated. We got off the train late at night in a thunderstorm in Moscow, and somehow managed to find the state-approved hotel we’d booked in order to get our visas. After exploring Moscow and St Petersburg, my two friends flew back to the UK. But by now I was addicted, and I decided to carry on travelling home overland, taking a series of buses the rest of the way. It was the first time I’d ever travelled completely alone – through six different countries, staying in cheap hostels, speaking to countless strangers, getting by with a few words from a phrase book and a reliance on the kindness of others. Every time I felt the familiar sense of panic at having to make conversation or navigate a new situation, I thought about that moment in the dining car, and the person I had felt I could be. I realised belatedly that it didn’t matter if there were awkward moments. I began to enjoy speaking to new people and started asking questions rather than attempt to fade into the background and hope nobody noticed me. I felt the world opening up. Brooks: ‘That evening in the dining car fed a longing for adventure.’ Photograph: Alex Krook Eventually I came back home to my parents’ house in Lancashire, refusing to ring for a lift, as if that would somehow negate all the confidence and self-reliance I had learned. I remember feeling that I could do anything. After graduating I spent much of my 20s living abroad, in Japan, China and Italy. It’s a privileged position, being able to make that choice, and I know how lucky I’ve been. That evening in the dining car of the Trans-Siberian train fed a longing for adventure, for more of those chaotic, joyful, unexpected encounters with other places and lives. It helped turn me into a writer, raiding those memories for my novel. And above all it turned me into someone who isn’t always afraid of making mistakes; who feels at home in the world.

  9. A pelican suspected to have died from H5N1 avian influenza on a beach in Lima, Peru, on 1 December 2022. Photograph: Ernesto Benavides/AFP/Getty Images Bird flu cases among animals continue to rise as US officials warn about the role of humans in spreading the virus. There are now 102 herds in the US with H5N1 cases, though given the prevalence of inactivated virus in commercially available pasteurized milk, experts believe the true number may be even higher. Poultry operations have reported cases likely linked to dairy farms, indicating the virus may be spilling back from cows into birds. Nearly 97m domesticated birds in the US have been affected by the highly pathogenic influenza since 2022. Although officials believe this outbreak was originally sparked by a single introduction from migratory birds into cows – for instance, via feed contaminated by bird feces – late last year, genomic analyses now suggest it is being spread between animals and farms by human activity, according a report released by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Thursday. The report, which focused on cases in Michigan, found that transmission is likely happening when workers, cows, vehicles and equipment go to multiple farms. Among employees at dairies with outbreaks, one in five employees work at other dairies and 7% work on poultry operations as well. That’s in addition to the veterinarians, nutritionists and haulers who regularly visit multiple farms. Three in five Michigan dairies with outbreaks use shared vehicles to transport cows, but only 12% clean the vehicles first. All but one of the affected dairies belong to the same milk co-ops. The results are in line with a second report also released by the USDA on Thursday, showing that about one-third of employees at US dairies with outbreaks also work on other farms with livestock – usually dairy farms, but sometimes swine and poultry. More than half of affected dairy farms across the US share trucks and trailers to transport cows, and more than half of those who share vehicles don’t clean them first, the report said. “Biosecurity is the key to prevention,” Kammy Johnson, a veterinary epidemiologist with the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, told reporters on Thursday. That means decontaminating everything that goes from farm to farm – transportation, clothing, equipment – and reducing the chances of infected animals, or people, passing the virus onward. It’s not clear if the outbreak is continuing to gain force, officials said, but they expect to find more cases in cows. And, as the virus evolves, it could become more of a threat to people, according to a recent report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Officials expect to see more bird flu cases among humans as the outbreak continues, the report said. “The more infections there are among cows, the more risk there is for infections to occur among humans,” Dr Nirav Shah, principal deputy director of the CDC, told reporters on Thursday. “The fact that it’s in 20% of our milk supply should be disturbing to everyone because that means it’s gone around already,” Xavier Becerra, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, said last week. “If it starts to jump, that’s when we really have to worry.” Yet testing has lagged, in a situation reminiscent of the Covid-19 pandemic. The only authorized test for H5N1 among humans comes from the CDC, and it is only available to people who have symptoms and a history of close contact with infected animals or other people. So far, there have only been 45 tests performed this year. Yet there have been reports of workers with positive flu A tests that are not sequenced for H5N1, as well as potential missed cases, like the farm workers and a local maternity worker who reported flu-like symptoms near the first confirmed human case this year in Texas. Providers may now be reluctant to test for influenza even if a patient has respiratory symptoms, since the flu season has ended and thus insurance companies may not pay for the tests. The USDA requires lactating dairy cows to be tested before moving across state borders. The federal government does not have the authority to require testing of animals or people on a wide scale, which means these efforts largely fall to state and local entities. In Wisconsin, for instance, which has not yet announced any infections in cows, farmers are now required to test cows before taking them to fairs and exhibits. Cows have died in at least five states – South Dakota, Michigan, Colorado, Ohio and Texas – because they didn’t recover or developed secondary infections after testing positive for H5N1. The majority of infected cows recover, but these deaths indicate the potential financial burden of an uncontrolled outbreak. Barn cats and mice have also tested positive for H1N1, raising concerns the animals could spread the virus in communities beyond the farms https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/19/bird-flu-pandemic-risk-cattle-human-cases
  10. Palestinians hold Eid al-Adha prayers by the ruins of al-Rahma mosque, which had been destroyed by Israeli air raids, in Khan Younis, June 16, 2024 [File: Mohammed Salem/Reuters] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticised the administration of US President Joe Biden for “withholding weapons” to Israel in recent months as it presses its war on Gaza. Netanyahu said in a video statement on Tuesday that it was “inconceivable” that the United States had been “withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel” in recent months. “Secretary [of State Antony] Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks. I certainly hope that’s the case. It should be the case,” Netanyahu said, referring to talks the top US diplomat held in the country last week. Washington provides $3.8bn in military assistance to Israel annually, and in April, Biden signed a law granting the US ally $17bn in additional aid amid Israel’s war on Gaza. Biden and his top aides often stress their commitment to Israel, but Washington confirmed last month holding up a single shipment of 900kg (2,000 pound) bombs to the Israeli military over concerns about civilian casualties in Israel’s assault on Rafah in southern Gaza. Since then, the Biden administration has authorised further weapons sales to Israel, according to US media accounts, including a package worth $1bn last month. The Washington Post also reported on Monday that the Biden administration pressured top Democratic lawmakers to sign off on the $18bn sale of 50 F-15 fighter jets to Israel. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Blinken stressed that the US is committed to Israeli security and continues to move arms transfers to Israel through its system on a “regular basis”. But he said the hold on the heavy bombs remains in place. “We, as you know, are continuing to review one shipment that President Biden has talked about with regard to 2000-pound bombs because of our concerns about their use in a densely po[CENSORED]ted area like Rafah,” Blinken said. “That remains under review. But everything else is moving as it normally would move.” The White House also denied Netanyahu’s claim that the US has been withholding weapons to Israel for months, stressing that the US has only paused a one shipment of bombs. “We genuinely do not know what he’s talking about. There was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. “We continue to have these constructive discussions with Israelis for the release of that particular shipment… There are no other pauses – none.” The Biden administration has been facing pressure to halt its military aid to Israel due to growing reports of Israeli abuses in Gaza, including allegations of targeting civilian infrastructure, using starvation as a weapon of war and torturing detainees. After months of strong support, Biden seemed to draw a red line for Israel in May, warning the country against invading Rafah. He told CNN that the US would not provide bombs and artillery to be used in a major Israeli offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city. Israel launched its assault on Rafah later in May despite US and international warnings, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians – many of whom had already fled other parts of Gaza. Israeli forces seized and closed the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, which had served as a major gateway for humanitarian aid. As Israeli forces continue to press their offensive in Rafah, the Biden administration has argued that the military assault does not amount to a “major” operation. “We still have not yet seen them launch what looks like a full-scale major military operation – certainly not in the size, scope, or scale of the operations in Khan Younis, in Gaza City, elsewhere in Gaza. It’s been a more limited operation,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said last week. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/18/netanyahu-blinken-provide-conflicting-accounts-on-us-weapons-to-israel
  11. Smoke billows from fires ignited by Israeli shelling on the forested areas of the southern Lebanese village of Deir Mimas on June 15, 2024 [Rabih Daher/AFP] Israel is ready for an “all-out war” in Lebanon and has plans approved for an offensive targeting Hezbollah, officials have said. The claims from Israel’s foreign minister and military late on Tuesday followed Hezbollah’s release of threatening drone footage. The climbing tension conflicts with United States efforts to avert an escalation amid months of low-level hostilities across the Israel-Lebanon border. The nine-minute drone footage of the Israeli port city of Haifa filmed in daytime, showed civilian and military areas, including malls and residential quarters, in addition to a weapons manufacturing complex and missile defence batteries. Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz responded vehemently in a post on X, calling out Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah for boasting about filming the ports of Haifa, which are operated by foreign companies from China and India. “We are very close to the moment of decision to change the rules against Hezbollah and Lebanon. In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed and Lebanon will be severely hit,” he wrote. Later, the Israeli military said in a statement that Ori Gordin, head of its Northern Command, which includes the front line with Hezbollah, has approved plans to mount a ground assault across Israel’s northern border. “As part of the situational assessment, operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon were approved and validated, and decisions were taken on the continuation of increasing the readiness of troops in the field,” it said. Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in border fighting since shortly after the start of the war on Gaza, following the October 7 attacks on Israel. The confrontation is increasingly expanding, with both sides saying they are ready to go to war. Nasrallah is scheduled to deliver a speech on Wednesday afternoon. He has said in the past that Hezbollah will only stop its attacks if Israel halts its invasion of Gaza, which has killed at least 37,000 Palestinians. The Israeli military has been regularly launching air strikes on Lebanon since the start of the war. On Tuesday, it claimed to have hit military infrastructure across multiple areas in the south of the country. On Monday it said that it killed a “central operative” in Hezbollah’s rocket division in a drone strike. A week previously, it assassinated Taleb Abdullah, reportedly the commander of a Hezbollah division covering the western sector of the front line between the border with Israel and the Litani river. Hezbollah recently said that it has carried out more than 2,100 military operations against Israel since October 8 in what it says is an effort to support Palestinians. More than 400 people have been killed in Lebanon, including journalists and paramedics, over the past eight months, with 25 deaths in Israel. At least 90,000 people have been displaced in Lebanon, and more than 60,000 have been forced from their homes in northern Israel. The US is pushing diplomatically to prevent an escalation, White House envoy Amos Hochstein said on Tuesday during a trip to Lebanon. “We have seen an escalation over the last few weeks. And what President Biden wants to do is avoid a further escalation to a greater war,” Hochstein told reporters in Beirut after meetings in Israel a day earlier. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/19/israel-ready-for-all-out-war-in-lebanon
