> New Gmail App Access Password Deadline—You Have 4 Weeks To Comply

Hot on the heels of a warning about a dramatic rise in the number of attacks targeting Gmail users, comes a timely reminder that Google is about to force Google Workspace users into taking security more seriously. Starting September 30, access to your Gmail account from “less secure apps, third-party apps, or devices that only require a username and password to sign in” will no longer be supported. This latest move is part of an effort to stamp out what Google refers to as an “antiquated sign-in method,” one that puts Gmail users at greater risk of compromise from those who seek unauthorized access to your Google account as it involves sharing your credentials with third-party apps and devices. This forthcoming change impacts all Google Workspace customers, Google said.

Two Typhoons were scrambled from the RAF air base at Lossiemouth yesterday, supported by a Voyager from RAF Brize Norton. The Ministry of Defence said in a statement that the the aircraft had been deployed to intercept two Russian Bear-F aircraft found flying near the UK.

The RAF jets were launched under NATO command, and the aircraft continued to be monitored as it passed through international airspace. Typhoon fighters escorted the aircraft out of the UK’s Flight Information Region and "at no time did the Russian aircraft enter UK sovereign airspace", said the MoD.

Conspiracy theorists who debated with an artificial intelligence chatbot became more willing to admit doubts about their beliefs, according to research that offers insights into dealing with misinformation.

The research runs counter to the idea that it is all but impossible to change the mind of individuals who have dived down rabbit holes of popular but unevidenced ideas.

> Breakthrough ‘edge state’ in atoms could lead to infinite energy sources

The “edge state” of electrons is a special situation where electrons move along the boundaries or edges of certain materials, rather than through the middle.

 “In this rare ‘edge state,’ electrons can flow without friction, gliding effortlessly around obstacles as they stick to their perimeter-focused flow,” the study authors note.

Such frictionless movement of electrons can enable data and energy transfer across devices without any transmission losses, leading to the development of super-efficient electronic circuits and quantum computers.

>'God of Chaos' asteroid could knock Earth out of solar system - on an ominous date

The enormous asteroid, dubbed the "God of Chaos" or 99942 Apophis, is said to be on a collision course with Earth - and the date of a potential impact is particularly terrifying

The gigantic asteroid, also known as 99942 Apophis, is looming as a potential threat to Earth and was once given a worrying 2.7% chance of striking our planet in 2017. However, the celestial body, identified in 2004, is predicted for Friday the 13th.

But as the ominous date approaches, scientists now reassure us that we're safe from this danger until at least until 2029. Canadian astronomer Paul Wiegert has recently expressed his concerns that an impact could happen earlier than we think.

On TikTok, users are making light of the situation, with @onebigfact posting a video claiming that Apophis, stretching over 1,000 feet wide, might make a close approach on Friday, April 13, 2029, even closer than the Moon and possibly visible without telescopes

>'God of Chaos' asteroid update as scientists warn it could be pushed into dangerous collision course with Earth

The risk of Apophis colliding with Earth is higher than previously thought, astronomers claim

The asteroid, which measures approximately 340 metres across, could be pushed onto a dangerous collision course with our planet by a small object as soon as 2029.

Another TikToker, @newswithasb, with a hefty 456,000 followers, shared his take on the 'God of Chaos': "An asteroid could be hitting Earth in 2029 and if it does, we are all done for."

> Anger at UK’s ‘bonkers’ plan to reach net zero by importing fuel from North Korea

A plan by the British government to burn biomass imported from countries including North Korea and Afghanistan has been described as “bonkers”, with critics saying it undermines the credibility of the UK’s climate strategy.

A bioenergy resource model, published in late summer, calculates that only a big expansion in the import of energy crops and wood from a surprising list of nations would satisfy the UK’s plan to meet net zero.

The government wants biomass to play a “significant role” in decarbonising all sectors of the economy in the years leading up to 2050, and has provided more than £20bn to businesses using it in the power and heat sectors over the past two decades.

The drugs – like Ozempic or Wegovy – can slash body weight by 20 per cent, but studies have found that they also have a long-term impact on bone density.

Research presented to the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research raised significant concerns about the potential side-effects of these treatments.

One of the studies – published in the medical journal JAMA – assessed 200 people using the drugs and found that they had reduced hip and spine bone mineral density when compared to a placebo or exercise alone.

This means patients taking weight-loss injections could be at an increased risk of the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis.

The Russian defense ministry "is thinking about how to respond to the possible long-range strikes on Russian territory," Putin said. "It will offer a range of responses," he added.

> Microsoft Update Warning—400 Million Windows PCs Now At Risk

The public interest advocacy group PIRG is now campaigning for Microsoft to extend the Windows 10 support extension now available to schools to other users. “In one year, Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10,” they warn, “potentially rendering up to 400 million computers obsolete overnight. This decision could trigger the single largest surge in junked computers in history, with dire consequences for both consumers and the environment.”

“Under Microsoft’s new policy,” it says, “schools can keep Windows 10 computers in classrooms safe from attacks for three additional years by paying $1 per computer for the first year, $2 the following year, and $4 the third year.” This is far cheaper than extended support options for enterprises. “Consumers will be able to purchase extended support, although prices have not been announced… We continue to push for an automatic extension of essential security updates for Windows 10.”

A Russian general whose soldiers have been accused of torturing an American blogger to death for the Kremlin has died in Ukraine, according to reports.

Major General Pavel Klimenko, 47, headed the Fifth Separate Motor Rifle Brigade in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic.

It is believed he was killed in a missile strike as he rode a motorbike.

He is reported to have run torture camps used on dissenting Russian soldiers and pro-Moscow agents who refuse orders.

It follows a proposal to build a new £400m medical laboratory at the site of a former nuclear plant in north Wales.

The patient, the country’s first presumed human case of H5N1, was previously healthy and had no underlying conditions

The teenager first developed symptoms on November 2 and tested positive for bird flu on November 8, when they were admitted to intensive care.

The Canadian patient first developed conjunctivitis, fever, and coughing, all of which are consistent with the relatively mild symptoms reported by dairy and poultry workers infected with the virus in the US.

H5N1 has historically had a very high death rate of around 55 per cent, although recent cases in the US have been mild.

Denmark had earlier said it had a naval vessel next to a Chinese cargo ship, the Yi Peng 3, anchored in the Baltic between Sweden and Denmark. The ship was shadowed after it passed both the cables around the time on Sunday and Monday that each was believed severed in a suspected malicious attack.

> Palestinian olive harvest under threat from Israeli attacks and restrictions

On a Thursday afternoon towards the end of last month, a 59-year-old Palestinian woman set out to gather olives on her family’s land near the village of Faqqua, in the north of the occupied West Bank.

It was something that Hanan Abu Salameh had done for decades.

Within minutes, the mother of seven and grandmother of 14 lay dying in the dust of the olive grove, with a bullet wound in her chest - she’d been shot by an Israeli soldier.

Even though the family had co-ordinated their intention to pick olives with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), according to her son Fares and husband Hossam, the soldier fired several shots as other family members fled for cover.

The IDF says it’s investigating the incident, but Hanan’s grieving relatives have little hope or expectation that her killer will be brought to justice.

This wasn’t an isolated incident.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Mark Rutte said deepening ties between US adversaries endangered America as he made a pitch to the president-elect to stick with Nato and continue to support Ukraine.

Rutte noted the risks from Russia supplying missile technology to North Korea and cash to Iran. In an apparent reference to Taiwan, he said that Chinese President Xi Jinping “might get thoughts about something else in the future if there is not a good deal [for Ukraine]”.

The White House has defended President Joe Biden's pardon of his son, Hunter, after repeatedly insisting he had no plans to grant such executive clemency.

The press secretary said Biden had pardoned his son, who was facing sentencing later this month in two federal cases, to shield him from potential persecution by the outgoing president's political foes.

The sweeping pardon covers any potential federal crimes that 54-year-old Hunter may have committed over the course of a decade.

Republicans have lambasted the move, with President-elect Donald Trump calling it "an abuse and miscarriage of justice".

The US will also prevent the export of advanced high bandwidth memory (HBM), a crucial component in AI chips, to China.

> Israeli forces ‘sexually assaulted, beat and insulted women’ during Gaza hospital raid

Israeli forces sexually assaulted Palestinian women and executed unarmed civilians during the Friday raid on Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital, witnesses have said in a new report.

The violence against women included stripping off their clothes, touching them under the threat of violence, beating them and hurling sexual insults at them.

In one incident, a soldier tore the clothes of a woman, exposing her chest, after she refused to remove her hijab, or headscarf.

Over 17,000 retail jobs are set to disappear next year, along with over 200,000 stores, as the sector’s decade-long crisis continues, according to a top retail body.

Online shopping, a Covid-19 hangover and high taxes are compounding a problem that began with the financial crisis in 2008, according to the Centre for Retail Research (CRR)

> Rise in talk about killing in films raises health concerns, researchers say

Study finds small but significant increase in characters talking about murder or killing over past 50 years

“The surprising thing is the increase occurs not just for crime genres, which you would expect because they’re violent, but also for non-crime genres,” said Brad Bushman, a professor of communication at Ohio State University, who co-authored the study.

The team suggested the rise may indicate an increase in violent behaviour in movies, and called for a promotion of “mindful consumption and media literacy” to protect vulnerable groups, especially children.
