> Microsoft is, once again, trying to force users into using Edge

Microsoft has deployed no shortage of tactics to get Windows users onto its Edge browser, and although some of the more nefarious methods of trying to force users to pick up the browser have failed, the company is still experimenting with new methods. The latest route launches Edge automatically on your PC on startup and prompts users to continually import data from Chrome, including your history, bookmarks, and tabs.

> H5N1-infected teenager now in ‘critical condition’ say Canadian doctors

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.

> Swedish navy identifies ships in areas of suspected undersea cable sabotage

The Swedish navy said it had an “almost 100%” picture of the vessels at the sites of the suspected sabotage of undersea cables in the Baltic as Danish officials said the country’s navy was shadowing a Chinese cargo ship.

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.

> Terrifying way Vladimir Putin could bring UK to its knees with one simple move

a former Royal Navy diving officer has told how the UK is vulnerable to a potential attack by Russia through cables and pipelines underwater.

People are now reliant on almost digital information in the world today and more than 99% of the data moving globally comes via undersea cables, said Lewis Page.

While the UK also receives 15% of our electricity from cables under the water from the Continent and 40% of the gas comes from sea pipelines.

> 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.

Rebel forces have launched their largest offensive against the Syrian government in years.

They have captured a swathe of land across the north-west of the country, including most of the second city of Aleppo, after the Syrian military rapidly withdrew its troops.

The rebels are now battling the military near the central city of Hama, while the government’s key ally Russia is carrying out air strikes against them.

> Nato chief warns Donald Trump of ‘dire threat’ to US if Ukraine pushed into bad peace deal

Nato’s new secretary-general has warned Donald Trump that the US would face a “dire threat” from China, Iran and North Korea if Ukraine is pushed to sign a peace deal on terms that are favourable to Moscow.

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]”.

> White House defends pardon of Hunter Biden amid backlash

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".

> US hits China’s chip industry with new export controls

The US has introduced new export controls in an effort to curtail China’s ability to create an advanced semiconductor industry and to slow its development of artificial intelligence with military applications.

The restrictions on the export of critical semiconductor manufacturing tools will affect both US companies and foreign firms that use American technology in their chipmaking equipment. The US will also prevent the export of advanced high bandwidth memory (HBM), a crucial component in AI chips, to China.
