Social media ban for UK under-16s ‘not on the cards’ for now, says minister
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:00:04 GMT

Peter Kyle meets group of teenagers at NSPCC HQ who say imposing ban would reduce their social connections

A social media ban for under-16s is “not on the cards at the moment”, a minister has said, as teenagers urged him to rethink plans to follow Australia’s lead and restrict access to sites such as TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.

Peter Kyle, the secretary of state for science and technology, is trying to convince social media platforms to do more to prevent online harms, with new laws coming into effect next year that could result in heavy fines and even jail in cases where online safety is breached.

Dreams of jewellery, phones and makeup: how young Iraqi girls are lured into marriage
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:00:04 GMT

Almost one-third of girls marry before they are 18, but a large number of unions end in abuse and failure. Now a new law could allow marriage from the age of nine

Huda* and her family, including two younger siblings, were living in poverty in the province of Anbar, in western Iraq, when she received an offer of marriage from the mother of a man who lived in the same neighbourhood. It seemed too good to turn down.

It also seemed the best hope for Huda, then 17, to finish school and fulfil her dream of one day becoming a lawyer. The mother told her she would treat her like one of her own.

The ICC arrest warrants must bring an end to Israel’s atrocities – and true accountability for all the guilty | Owen Jones
Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:07:08 GMT

Benjamin Netanyahu and his former foreign minister have been accused of heinous crimes. This must mark a turning point

It is not just Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant who should fear accountability for one of the gravest crimes of our age. If the international criminal court (ICC) had not issued today’s arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister and his erstwhile defence minister – and indeed Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif – a global legal order already widely regarded with contempt by much of the world would not have survived.

Why? Because of the scale of the alleged crime. Because of the overwhelming body of evidence, not least that accumulated by Palestinian journalists, many of whom acted as the world’s eyes and ears on the killing fields of Gaza before being killed by Israel, often alongside their families. And because few crimes in modern history have been so confessed to – boasted about even – by the perpetrators, from leaders at the top to the soldiers unleashing murderous mayhem on the ground. That the evidence for war crimes and crimes against humanity has met the threshold to satisfy the ICC’s chief prosecutor, an independent panel of esteemed lawyers and now three pre-trial international judges demonstrates the strength of the case – and that nobody who facilitated this historic abomination can plead ignorance. It is not just Netanyahu and Gallant who should tremble before justice: as well as other Israeli leaders and soldiers, so should the guilty men and women of western governments.

‘Reward for terrorism’: Israeli politicians unite to condemn ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu

Leaders from across spectrum are outspoken in rejection of court’s ‘antisemitic’ and ‘outrageous’ decision

Israeli leaders from across the political spectrum united to condemn the decision by a three-judge panel of the international criminal court to issue arrest warrants for the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the former defence minister Yoav Gallant.

Netanyahu’s office described the warrants as “an antisemitic decision … equivalent to the modern Dreyfus trial”, referring to the 1894 trial of a French artillery captain of Jewish descent that has become one of the most prominent examples of antisemitism.

You might think that running requires only a decent pair of trainers and some all-weather kit, but the gift options are endless, for every budget. The runners we spoke with told us they were dreaming of everything from hi-tech trainers to recovery treats and nifty headphones to gait analyses. So, if you’re buying a present for a runner and feel clueless, read on.

Is the war in Ukraine escalating or headed toward an endgame? | Christopher S Chivvis
Thu, 21 Nov 2024 21:00:04 GMT

Allowing Ukraine to use US Atacms missiles for deep strikes may be worth the risk if it hastens negotiations

It seems like the war in Ukraine is on the brink of escalating to a new level. North Korean troops have joined Russia on the battlefield, Ukraine is striking deep into Russian territory with US-provided weapons, and the Kremlin is yet again making nuclear threats. These developments intensify the sense that this war could spiral out of control. Paradoxically, however, they may also help usher in its end.

In October, North Korea added 11,000 troops to the battlefield on Russia’s side. The Biden administration said this were an unacceptable escalation. Over the weekend, it approved Ukraine’s use of US-provided missiles for long-range strikes into Russia. Russia responded with a new and more threatening nuclear doctrine that says it might use its nuclear arsenal against a non-nuclear country – a not-so-thinly veiled threat to Ukraine.

Putin’s Ukraine missile a warning to west before second age of Trump
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:00:06 GMT

The current escalations will set a new status quo for life under Trump – what does the US president have planned?

Like Chekhov’s gun coming off the wall in Act V, it was probably only a matter of time before Vladimir Putin launched an experimental, nuclear-capable ballistic missile into Ukraine. It is hardly a coincidence that his decision comes as the war approaches a likely endgame, with both sides jockeying for position ahead of negotiations in the shadow of Donald Trump.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia quite knows what Trump will do when he takes office in January. But the escalations taking place now will set a new status quo for the day he becomes president, at which point Trump’s options range from hard-nosed horse-trading to simply throwing Ukraine under the bus.

Ukraine war briefing: Ukraine parliament reportedly postpones sitting after Russian ballistic missile strike
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:28:05 GMT

Ukrainian president says attack on Dnipro ‘a clear and severe escalation’ while Putin says Moscow ‘had the right’ to strike. What we know on day 1,003

• See all our Russia-Ukraine war coverage

Russia has fired an experimental ballistic missile at the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro in response to the US and UK allowing Kyiv to strike Russian territory with advanced western weapons, in a further escalation of the 33-month-old war. Russian president Vladimir Putin said in an unannounced televised address to the nation that Moscow struck a Ukrainian military facility on Thursday with a new ballistic missile known as “Oreshnik” (the hazel) and warned that more could follow. He said in an apparent threat to the US and the UK that Moscow “had the right” to strike western countries that provided Kyiv with weapons used against Russian targets. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the use of the new missile amounted to “a clear and severe escalation” in the war and called for strong worldwide condemnation.

Ukraine’s parliament postponed a sitting due to have taken place on Friday out of security concerns, public broadcaster Suspilne reported, quoting sources. It said the order told members to keep their families out of Kyiv’s government district and quoted parliamentarians as saying that, for the moment, the next sitting was not scheduled until December.

Russia also fired a Kinzhal hypersonic missile and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles, six of which were shot down, the Ukrainian air force said. The attack targeted enterprises and critical infrastructure in Dnipro, the air force said. The city was a missile-making centre in the Soviet era. The regional governor, Serhiy Lysak, said the attack damaged an industrial enterprise and set off fires in Dnipro. Two people were hurt.

Russian strikes killed at least two people in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy, the acting mayor said on Friday. “Several massive explosions occurred in Sumy,” Artem Kobzar said on Telegram. He said air defences were still working as of just before 6am local time and warned residents to stay away from windows. The Sumy regional military administration said a residential neighbourhood had been struck by a Russian drone, adding that rescue operations were under way. It confirmed the two deaths and said 12 people had been injured.

Russia notified Washington shortly before Thursday’s ballistic missile strike, according to a US official, while another said the US had briefed Kyiv and allies to prepare for the possible use of such a weapon. Regional tensions have spiked in the past several days, with Ukraine firing US and British missiles at targets inside Russia this week despite Moscow’s warnings that it would see such action as a major escalation.

Ukraine initially suggested Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a weapon designed for long-distance nuclear strikes and never before used in war. But US officials and Nato echoed Putin’s description of the weapon as an intermediate-range ballistic missile, which has a shorter range of 3,000-5,500km (1,860-3,415 miles).

Zelenskiy said on X after Putin’s televised address that Russia’s acknowledgement it used the new weapon was another escalation after deployment of North Korean troops on Russian soil. Thursday’s attack, Zelenskiy said, was “yet more proof that Russia has no interest in peace”. “The world must respond,” he said. “Right now, there is no strong reaction from the world ... A lack of tough reactions to Russia’s actions sends a message that such behaviour is acceptable.”

A Nato spokesperson said Russia was seeking to “terrorise” civilians and intimidate Ukraine’s allies. “Deploying this capability will neither change the course of the conflict nor deter Nato allies from supporting Ukraine,” Farah Dakhlallah said.

UN secretary general António Guterres’s spokesperson said Russia’s use of a new intermediate-range ballistic missile was “yet another concerning and worrying development. “All of this [is] going in the wrong direction,” Stéphane Dujarric said as he called on all parties to de-escalate the conflict and “to protect civilians, not hit civilian targets or critical civilian infrastructure”.

‘We create gods because the world is chaos’: Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow and Stanley Tucci on celebrity, sin and papal thriller Conclave
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:00:03 GMT

In Edward Berger’s Oscar-tipped drama, the three actors play cardinals vying to become pope. Ahead of the film’s UK release, they form a huddle to discuss fame, food – and why Trump won

Faith, death and vengeful vaping: of all the Oscar contenders this year, Conclave is the one that best combines chewy religious inquiry and lavish side-eye. Adapted by Wolf Hall screenwriter Peter Straughan from the Robert Harris novel, Conclave has been directed by All Quiet on the Western Front’s Edward Berger as a heavy-breathing battle for hearts, minds and power.

Ralph Fiennes stars as Cardinal Lawrence, who, after the sudden death of the pope, must park his own religious doubts to wrangle the 113 cardinals who have descended on the Vatican. These men will be sequestered until they can elect one of their number as the new pontiff. Among them are the gentle progressive Bellini (Stanley Tucci) and smooth traditionalist Tremblay (John Lithgow). Both have secrets. But are they as lethal as those of their friends – and rivals?

Tesla’s path in China clears as Musk courts both Trump and Xi
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:27:22 GMT

Billionaire CEO is well connected in the US and China, something that could smooth the road ahead for the electric vehicle maker amid a looming tariff war

If it pays to have friends in high places, few among us can claim to be better placed than Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and one of the only people to have cosy relationships with both Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. His commercial and political connections to both may prove pivotal as the feud between the US and China plays out over the next four years, particularly as Trump promises steep tariffs.

Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, once supported Joe Biden. But his relationship with the current US president soured over the past four years as, among other insults, Musk felt that the White House gave Telsa, his car and green energy company, “the cold shoulder”. Trump, meanwhile, has described Tesla as “incredible” even while pledging to do away with subsidies for electric vehicles. This year, Musk formally endorsed Trump as the presidential candidate, campaigned for him online and off and donated more than $100m to his re-election effort.

The Guardian view on defence spending: performative opposition obscures common ground | Editorial
Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:44:12 GMT

Tory complaints about Labour’s choices ring hollow when they still deny their culpability for the whole budget mess

Westminster politics is adept at hiding consensus. The oppositional style, embedded in the layout of the House of Commons, requires a performance of partisanship that often goes beyond genuine differences of opinion. It was predictable that the Conservatives would accuse the government of weakening national defences by scrapping old military hardware as part of a departmental savings drive. John Healey, the defence secretary, says the items in question – mostly helicopters and sea vessels – are obsolete or defective. Military chiefs confirm that assessment. The savings for the defence budget are £500m.

But James Cartlidge, the shadow defence secretary, laments an injudicious disposal of capabilities “just as the threats to our nation are growing”. Ben Wallace, a former Conservative defence secretary, describes it as “pure folly”. The Tories would like this argument to reinforce their claim that Labour is weak on national security, as evidenced by refusal to match the timetable Rishi Sunak set for raising defence spending to at least 2.5% of gross domestic product. Sir Keir Starmer has a “cast-iron commitment” to reach that target – the current figure is about 2.3% – but not a specific date. The prime minister’s argument is that defence priorities will be settled as part of a wider review, due next year. That will then dictate the rate at which spending can usefully be ramped up.

US moves to list giraffes under Endangered Species Act for first time
Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:38:45 GMT

Climate crisis, habitat loss and poaching have reduced its numbers – but will Trump put the kibosh on protections?

They are the tallest animal to roam the Earth and have become an icon of children’s books, toys and awed wildlife documentaries. But giraffes are in decline, which has prompted the US government to list them as endangered for the first time.

Giraffes will be listed under the US Endangered Species Act, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed in a move that will cover five subspecies of the animal.

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 08:52:43 GMT

Sales volume was down 0.7% in October, the first fall in three months, as consumers reined in spending on clothes

• Business live

Retail sales in Great Britain fell for the first time in three months in October, as consumers held back on spending before the first Labour budget in 14 years.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said sales fell by 0.7% month on month in October – and revised down the growth figure for September from 0.3% to just 0.1%. Clothing stores in particular bore the brunt of consumers tightening the purse strings last month.

Death Becomes Her review – 90s comedy gets dazzling Broadway rebirth
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:00:10 GMT

Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, New York

Robert Zemeckis’s dark, Hollywood-set hit makes a smooth transition to the stage in a raucously entertaining musical crowd-pleaser

Like its duelling antiheroines, Death Becomes Her refuses to die. There might not be quite the same stickiness or, unfairly, respect as that afforded to some of its 90s comedy peers but it’s lingered around the outskirts anyway, with drag tributes or Halloween costumes or comparisons to Real Housewives stars or, most recently, similarities to The Substance (it’s the infinitely better movie).

The themes, of ageing anxieties and the cruel impossibility of beauty standards, are also never going away – if anything they’ve become more centre-staged – and so some sort of reimagining has felt inevitable for a while (rumours of a remake have circulated for years). It tracks that a rebirth on Broadway would come next, with both the conveyor belt of screen-to-stage adaptations refusing to slow down and the original’s brash theatrical humour making it a perfect fit. Success was far less inevitable though given the quality of many examples that came before it, from Pretty Woman to Mrs Doubtfire to, bafflingly, Indecent Proposal.

The best heated clothes airers to save time and money when drying your laundry
Fri, 08 Nov 2024 15:53:35 GMT

Heated airers claim to dry your clothes whatever the weather, without costing the earth in energy. We put 12 to the test to reveal the best

An energy crisis and perma-drizzle have conspired to keep the nation’s laundry damp, not least by making it such a turn-off to turn on the heating. No wonder heated clothes airers are having a moment. These modish appliances sell out within hours of reaching shops and inspire evangelistic fervour among owners, who call them “life-savers” and “gamechangers”.

Can a hot clothes horse really change your life, let alone dry your washing as fast as a tumble dryer for a fraction of the cost and with none of the noise? I needed to be convinced, so I put 12 bestsellers through their paces with my soggy washing to find out whether they’re the best thing in laundry since the clothes peg – or destined for the loft.

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:00:08 GMT

Colman Domingo stars in a timely, sinister thriller as a media pundit framed for murder, plus: a drama on the life and tragically early death of the greatest Formula One driver of all time

This thriller acquires a sinister subtext given recent events in the US: an opinionated, progressive, Black media personality finds a dismembered body in the woods, but when he reports it, the white establishment attempts to frame him for the crime. Colman Domingo plays the baffled, angry and increasingly terrified pundit Muncie Daniels, who is suddenly at risk of losing everything, as the grim narrative pivots to involve a white supremacist group, a conspiracy-obsessed investigative journalist and a corrupt police force. It takes a while to get going and pushes its zeitgeist bullet-points slightly too much, but it still conjures a sadly appropriate tone of oppressive paranoia.

Death Becomes Her review – 90s comedy gets dazzling Broadway rebirth
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:00:10 GMT

Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, New York

Robert Zemeckis’s dark, Hollywood-set hit makes a smooth transition to the stage in a raucously entertaining musical crowd-pleaser

Like its duelling antiheroines, Death Becomes Her refuses to die. There might not be quite the same stickiness or, unfairly, respect as that afforded to some of its 90s comedy peers but it’s lingered around the outskirts anyway, with drag tributes or Halloween costumes or comparisons to Real Housewives stars or, most recently, similarities to The Substance (it’s the infinitely better movie).

The themes, of ageing anxieties and the cruel impossibility of beauty standards, are also never going away – if anything they’ve become more centre-staged – and so some sort of reimagining has felt inevitable for a while (rumours of a remake have circulated for years). It tracks that a rebirth on Broadway would come next, with both the conveyor belt of screen-to-stage adaptations refusing to slow down and the original’s brash theatrical humour making it a perfect fit. Success was far less inevitable though given the quality of many examples that came before it, from Pretty Woman to Mrs Doubtfire to, bafflingly, Indecent Proposal.

Most Frequently Asked Questions About NFTs(Non-Fungible Tokens)
Sun, 06 Feb 2022 10:04:00 +0000

 

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the most popular digital assets today, capturing the attention of cryptocurrency investors, whales and people from around the world. People find it amazing that some users spend thousands or millions of dollars on a single NFT-based image of a monkey or other token, but you can simply take a screenshot for free. So here we share some freuently asked question about NFTs.

1) What is an NFT?

NFT stands for non-fungible  token, which is a cryptographic token on a blockchain with unique identification codes that distinguish it from other tokens. NFTs are unique and not interchangeable, which means no two NFTs are the same. NFTs can be a unique artwork, GIF, Images, videos, Audio album. in-game items, collectibles etc.

2) What is Blockchain?

A blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that allows for the secure storage of data. By recording any kind of information—such as bank account transactions, the ownership of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), or Decentralized Finance (DeFi) smart contracts—in one place, and distributing it to many different computers, blockchains ensure that data can’t be manipulated without everyone in the system being aware.

3) What makes an NFT valuable?

The value of an NFT comes from its ability to be traded freely and securely on the blockchain, which is not possible with other current digital ownership solutionsThe NFT points to its location on the blockchain, but doesn’t necessarily contain the digital property. For example, if you replace one bitcoin with another, you will still have the same thing. If you buy a non-fungible item, such as a movie ticket, it is impossible to replace it with any other movie ticket because each ticket is unique to a specific time and place.

4) How do NFTs work?

One of the unique characteristics of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is that they can be tokenised to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought, sold and traded on the blockchain. 

As with crypto-currency, records of who owns what are stored on a ledger that is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. These records can’t be forged because the whole system operates on an open-source network. 

NFTs also contain smart contracts—small computer programs that run on the blockchain—that give the artist, for example, a cut of any future sale of the token.

5) What’s the connection between NFTs and cryptocurrency?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) aren't cryptocurrencies, but they do use blockchain technology. Many NFTs are based on Ethereum, where the blockchain serves as a ledger for all the transactions related to said NFT and the properties it represents.5) How to make an NFT?

Anyone can create an NFT. All you need is a digital wallet, some ethereum tokens and a connection to an NFT marketplace where you’ll be able to upload and sell your creations

6) How to validate the authencity of an NFT?

When you purchase a stock in NFT, that purchase is recorded on the blockchain—the bitcoin ledger of transactions—and that entry acts as your proof of ownership.

7) How is an NFT valued? What are the most expensive NFTs?

The value of an NFT varies a lot based on the digital asset up for grabs. People use NFTs to trade and sell digital art, so when creating an NFT, you should consider the popularity of your digital artwork along with historical statistics.

In the year 2021, a digital artist called Pak created an artwork called The Merge. It was sold on the Nifty Gateway NFT market for $91.8 million.

8) Can NFTs be used as an investment?

Non-fungible tokens can be used in investment opportunities. One can purchase an NFT and resell it at a profit. Certain NFT marketplaces let sellers of NFTs keep a percentage of the profits from sales of the assets they create.

9) Will NFTs be the future of art and collectibles?

Many people want to buy NFTs because it lets them support the arts and own something cool from their favorite musicians, brands, and celebrities. NFTs also give artists an opportunity to program in continual royalties if someone buys their work. Galleries see this as a way to reach new buyers interested in art.

10) How do we buy an NFTs?

There are many places to buy digital assets, like opensea and their policies vary. On top shot, for instance, you sign up for a waitlist that can be thousands of people long. When a digital asset goes on sale, you are occasionally chosen to purchase it.

11) Can i mint NFT for free?

To mint an NFT token, you must pay some amount of gas fee to process the transaction on the Etherum blockchain, but you can mint your NFT on a different blockchain called Polygon to avoid paying gas fees. This option is available on OpenSea and this simply denotes that your NFT will only be able to trade using Polygon's blockchain and not Etherum's blockchain. Mintable allows you to mint NFTs for free without paying any gas fees.

12) Do i own an NFT if i screenshot it?

The answer is no. Non-Fungible Tokens are minted on the blockchain using cryptocurrencies such as Etherum, Solana, Polygon, and so on. Once a Non-Fungible Token is minted, the transaction is recorded on the blockchain and the contract or license is awarded to whoever has that Non-Fungible Token in their wallet.

12) Why are people investing so much in NFT?

 Non-fungible tokens have gained the hearts of people around the world, and they have given digital creators the recognition they deserve. One of the remarkable things about non-fungible tokens is that you can take a screenshot of one, but you don’t own it. This is because when a non-fungible token is created, then the transaction is stored on the blockchain, and the license or contract to hold such a token is awarded to the person owning the token in their digital wallet.

You can sell your work and creations by attaching a license to it on the blockchain, where its ownership can be transferred. This lets you get exposure without losing full ownership of your work. Some of the most successful projects include Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yatch Club NFTs, SandBox, World of Women and so on. These NFT projects have gained popularity globally and are owned by celebrities and other successful entrepreneurs. Owning one of these NFTs gives you an automatic ticket to exclusive business meetings and life-changing connections.

Final Saying

That’s a wrap. Hope you guys found this article enlightening. I just answer some question with my limited knowledge about NFTs.

Tesla’s path in China clears as Musk courts both Trump and Xi
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:27:22 GMT

Billionaire CEO is well connected in the US and China, something that could smooth the road ahead for the electric vehicle maker amid a looming tariff war

If it pays to have friends in high places, few among us can claim to be better placed than Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and one of the only people to have cosy relationships with both Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. His commercial and political connections to both may prove pivotal as the feud between the US and China plays out over the next four years, particularly as Trump promises steep tariffs.

Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, once supported Joe Biden. But his relationship with the current US president soured over the past four years as, among other insults, Musk felt that the White House gave Telsa, his car and green energy company, “the cold shoulder”. Trump, meanwhile, has described Tesla as “incredible” even while pledging to do away with subsidies for electric vehicles. This year, Musk formally endorsed Trump as the presidential candidate, campaigned for him online and off and donated more than $100m to his re-election effort.
