Ukraine war briefing: mass production of Ukrainian ‘Octopus’ interceptor drones begins

Ukraine says it has started mass production of its new domestically developed interceptor drones to strengthen air defences. The first three manufacturers had begun production and 11 more were preparing to set up production lines, the defence ministry said on Friday. The drones would be based on a domestically developed technology called “Octopus” to intercept Shahed drones. It had been tested in combat and proved to be working “at night, under jamming and at low altitudes”, the ministry said. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the goal is to manufacture up to 1,000 of the interceptors a day. Russia has been steadily increasing the number of drones it uses in a single strike on Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described Russia’s latest attack against Ukraine as “deliberate, calculated and wicked” after six people were killed and dozens injured in a wave of night-time strikes across Kyiv, reports Luke Harding. Air raid sirens sounded in the capital shortly after midnight on Friday and Shahed drones could soon be heard in the sky, with heavy machine-gun fire from Ukrainian air defences. Zelenskyy said the country was hit by 430 drones and 18 missiles. The dead had been at home in a block of flats on Kyiv’s left bank when it was hit. Dozens of other buildings were damaged, including the Azerbaijani embassy. Azerbaijan said it issued a strong protest to the Russian ambassador on Friday after the embassy damage. The blast from a Russian Iskander missile destroyed part of the embassy’s perimeter wall and caused serious damage to the diplomatic compound, the Azerbaijani foreign ministry said. No one was hurt, and a ministry spokesperson said the Kyiv embassy was continuing to operate. Russia plans to manufacture up to 120,000 glide bombs this year, a senior Ukrainian intelligence official said, including 500 of a new, longer-range version that can reach more towns and cities. Reuters was unable to verify Ukraine’s claims, disclosed by defence intelligence’s deputy head, Maj Gen Vadym Skibitskyi, but it would indicate a vast increase in the manufacture of the cheap and devastating glide bombs, which use wings – and sometimes engines – to fly dozens of kilometres to their targets. Skibitskyi said Russian forces were firing 200 to 250 glide bombs a day. Last month’s daily average was about 170, according to defence ministry data. Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk temporarily suspended oil exports on Friday – equivalent to 2% of global supply – after a Ukrainian missile and drone attack, Reuters reported industry sources as saying. Ukraine’s general staff said its forces had fired Neptune cruise missiles and used various types of strike drones in the attack on Novorossiysk “as part of efforts to reduce the military and economic potential of the Russian aggressor”. Ukraine said it separately struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov region and a fuel storage facility in nearby Engels overnight. Russia’s second-largest oil producer Lukoil said on Friday it has been in talks with potential buyers of its foreign assets after last month’s sanctions from the UK and the US as a deal with the Gunvor trading house collapsed. “The specific deal will be announced after the final agreements have been reached and the necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained,” Lukoil said. Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the Spanish capital, Madrid, on Tuesday to meet with lawmakers a day after his visit to Paris, the chamber of deputies announced. The Ukrainian president would meet deputies from both chambers of parliament during his visit, the Spanish statement said.

WCGW assuming your surroundings never change?

Am I crazy or are those almost a mirror finish? I cant believe that they would put posts in a road with that shine to them. As the camera passes by the car currently stuck the pole almost blends into the sky. EDIT: watch as he walks past the car currently stuck, the top of the pole blends into the sky, then of you look at the bottom it almost disappears like the pole is floating. This is an absolutely trash design and will end in a suit. There's a reason bollards are normal bright yellow. Edit 2: damn yall are wild thinking it's normal to put polished poles in the road way. The damn railing off to the side out of the road is even yellow. But you guys think it's normal for a polished finish post to be IN the road. Edit 3: Im actually fully convinced that this is 100% bad design and mostly the fault of the design itself and location near the intersection. Sure people are ultimately responsible for their vigilance while driving but this greatly increase the likelihood of an accident. Looking at the site on Google maps shows that the lane where the guy walks out from has a fairly tight turn as it is and id bet almost all the accidents occured from people making a right hand turn. If you take this right turn cutting it tight puts the center of your car straight into the pole. The pole is also pointed off to the left hand side slightly indicating they hit it at an angle. Another car it was slightly on the right side and the 3rd was far to the right(when looking at the front if it). Thats consistent with someone turning too tight. By installing these so close to the intersection you would have to swing pretty wide to make this turn. If you have made this turn 100x before and a new shiny ass pole is put where you turn i can easily see many more doing exactly this.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Supercars. Followed categories will be added to My News. Chaz Mostert’s quest for a maiden Supercars crown has lifted another gear after the Ford star stormed to a third consecutive win, steal the championship lead and book a ticket straight to the Adelaide grand final in the opening leg of the Sandown 500. After his back-to-back wins on the Gold Coast, the Walkinshaw Andretti United driver locked in his place for the title decider at the end of the month and unseat Broc Feeney from the top of the standings for the first time in six months. Still chasing a maiden championship win 12 years after his Supercars debut, 33-year-old Mostert took his fourth win for the year as he led home a fast-finishing Will Brown, who staged a stunning recovery to finish second after starting from 15th on the grid following a qualifying shocker to keep his championship defence alive. Chaz Mostert won three races in a row for the first time in his Supercars career. Picture: Getty Images Mostert took the win with support from his teammate Ryan Wood - who is out of the finals race - with the young Kiwi staging a thrilling late-race battle with Brown to hold off the Red Bull Camaro as long as he could to protect the two-time Bathurst winner’s lead. After an epic tussle, Brown passed Wood with four laps to go with the New Zealand young gun finishing third after starting the race from pole. It is the first time in his career Mostert has secured three straight wins, but he said he owed it to his teammate. “I owe Woody a beer tonight, he saved my bacon out there today,” Mostert said. “I struggled for a bit of rear tyre life, but just so glad to hang on. “It was so awesome sharing the front row, Woody would have been a hard man to beat if he didn’t have to slow up for the old fella today. “It’s a real team win and we’ll celebrate it hard after the weekend. Just awesome. “Three in a row, it’s amazing, but today was a bit of a gift.” Chaz Mostert now leads the standings by three points. Picture: Getty Images The victory moved Mostert to the top of the standings, three points ahead of fourth-placed Feeney, who has led the championship since Symmons Plains in May. The top four drivers at the end of the round will advance to the Adelaide grand final, while the bottom three will be eliminated. After sitting fifth in the elimination zone heading into the Sandown round, Brown was the big mover in the standings, jumping up to third behind Mostert and Feeney. Grove Racing’s Bathurst 1000 winner Matt Payne slipped to fourth position after finishing the first of two 250 km races in sixth place. Of the seven remaining finalists, Grove Racing rookie Kai Allen and Tickford Racing pair Cam Waters and Thomas Randle now sit in the elimination zone for the grand final. Waters finished 12th, while Randle was 16th after starting the race from 22nd on the grid. Mostert had leapt from sixth to second in the standings after his pair of wins on the Gold Coast and he has carried that momentum into the Sandown semi-final. The Supercars fan favourite has finished third in the championship three times and considered the series’ new finals system as his best chance to add a title to his two Bathurst 1000 crowns. WOOD VOWS TO HELP MOSTERT Kiwi young gun Ryan Wood has vowed to “help Chazzy out” after securing a front-row lock-out for Walkinshaw Andretti United for the first leg of the Sandown 500 as defending Supercars champion Will Brown’s finals campaign struck trouble. After being eliminated from the finals race on the Gold Coast, Wood said his priority was now to help his teammate and title contender Chaz Mostert after he secured pole position for Saturday’s first 250km race with a blistering Top 10 shootout lap. Wood edged out Mostert by just 0.162sec to take his third pole of the season, bouncing back from two heartbreaking rounds at Bathurst and at Surfers Paradise. Mostert, who sits second in the championship standings, led the drivers still in the finals mix ahead of Grove Racing duo Kai Allen (fifth) and Matt Payne (sixth), Broc Feeney (seventh) and Cam Waters (ninth).

Picture: Brendan Radke But there was trouble for defending Supercars champion Brown, who missed the shootout and will start from 15th on the grid for the 81-lap race, while Thomas Randle’s finals campaign is also in a precarious position after qualifying 22nd. Both Brown and Randle sit in the danger zone for elimination in the championship with the top four progressing to the Adelaide grand final. Wood said he was now focused on doing what he could to help Mostert’s finals hopes. “The (car) is a rocket at the moment, so I really want to convert it this afternoon into a good result,” Wood said. “But first thing’s first is to help Chazzy out, so eyes on.

You can’t really play anything out until it happens. If we can just lead and pull away, that will make our life easy and do what we have to. “Obviously Goldy was tough, but to bounce back the way we have is really cool.” Sitting fifth in the championship, Brown now has the job ahead of him to push through the field and keep his title defence alive. “It just felt like we didn’t put the best laps together then,” Brown said. “It didn’t feel great, it is what it is …. we just didn’t do a good enough job, so we’re 15th. “It’s disappointing to be honest. We’ve done heaps between Gold Coast and here to try and improve this and I’ve done a lot of simulator work, but it didn’t work out.” Late spin costs Brown as Mostert shows Championship credentials Chaz Mostert fired the first shot among the Supercars title combatants to lead the seven remaining finalists in practice at Sandown on Friday. While Team 18 veteran David Reynolds topped the final practice session, Walkinshaw Andretti United star Mostert was the best of the finalists, finishing second fastest. Reynolds’ teammate Anton De Pasquale, who was fastest in the first practice session, was third, while championship leader Broc Feeney and James Golding rounded out the top five. Arriving at Sandown after back-to-back wins on the Gold Coast, Mostert showed strong pace as soon as he hit the track when he also finished second in the first session. Chaz Mostert has set the pace among the Supercars finalists racing at Sandown. “It was a good confidence-building day for us, I think we were second in the first session and second in this session,” Mostert, who sits second in the championship standings, said. “We’ve got a little bit of tuning to do to make the car a bit better, but we’re trying a few little things, but the car feels like it is around the window. “Overall, a pretty good start for the weekend. I can hopefully sleep a bit nicer tonight and we’ll see what weather and what we’ve got in store tomorrow.” There are seven drivers still in contention for the 2025 championship – Feeney, Mostert, Matt Payne, Cam Waters, Will Brown, Kai Allen and Thomas Randle. The top four at the end of the round will progress to the Adelaide grand final, while the bottom four will be eliminated. Defending Supercars champion Brown, who won the Sandown endurance race last year, was seventh fastest in final practice after a late spin, just ahead of Waters in eighth. Randle was 13th, while Grove Racing duo Matt Payne and Kai Allen were 15th and 16th. There is qualifying, a top 10 shootout and the first of two 250 km races at Sandown on Saturday.

While the Ford star is the first to admit his priorities in life have shifted since he welcomed his young daughter, Everly, into the family, Mostert is revelling in proving doubters wrong. Not only has he not slowed down, 33-year-old Mostert felt becoming a dad had actually sharpened his focus as a driver. In fact, the dual Bathurst 1000 champion – the only father still in finals contention – said the 19-month-old could even be his secret weapon as he continued his quest for a breakthrough championship in the Supercars finals. “People kind of grill you a little bit and go, ‘Oh, you’ve had a baby, you’re going to lose some pace’,” Mostert said. “If anything, I think it actually makes me focus on it even more. “Once the helmet is on, all I want to do is show some of these young guys that there is still plenty of fight in some of these mid-aged racing car drivers and go toe-to-toe with them. Ford star Chaz Mostert celebrates with his wife, Riarne, and young daughter, Everly, after winning on the Gold Coast. Picture: Mark Horsburgh. “Sometimes days in sport don’t go to plan. I’m so lucky to have what I have off-track, a beautiful family, beautiful wife and a little 19-month-old who is keeping me very young at home as well. “At the end of the day, they don’t really care how the day goes or not, as long as I come home and be the dad that they need me to be. It makes it good to be able to switch off in those moments where everything is not going to plan. “I think that is something I think I do have a bit over the guys that I am racing in the finals at the moment. Maybe (dad-to-be) Cam (Waters) will know in the next 12 months himself how that kind of balance changes off-track.” As Mostert continues his late charge for the Supercars crown, his wife, Riarne, and Everly, reneged on their initial plans to skip the Sandown round so they could be at the track to support the Walkinshaw Andretti United star. “She (Everly) is so young, she is probably not going to remember any of these memories of dad racing cars and stuff like that, but I always will,” Mostert said. “It’s very special for me to be able to have them here. Copied URL to clipboard codesports.com.au Mostert looking to book spot in final Supercars: Chaz Mostert is looking to book a spot in the first ever supercars final. “They weren’t originally coming to this (Sandown round), but they have bolstered up on the plan to make sure that they are here for the last final rounds as well and give me all the balance I need off track to try and do it.” Mostert is holding up his end of the bargain to storm into championship contention after a stunning opening finals round on the Gold Coast. The Supercars fan favourite leapt from sixth to second in the standings after back-to-back wins at Surfers Paradise and is hoping to ride that momentum at Sandown into the grand final at Adelaide. “When you’ve got some results on the board, you believe that you can do it and you know that you can do it, too,” Mostert said. “It’s sometimes a bit of a mental challenge throughout the year when you are not getting the results that you want, but I’m glad what we’ve done throughout this year got us into a good position for Goldy, especially, and we’ll see if it works this weekend as well. “In sport, you are only as good as your last result, so we’re coming into Sandown obviously feeling very pumped up and ready to fight and know that we can do it.” Ford star Chaz Mostert sits second in the Supercars championship ahead of the Sandown 500 Picture: Robert Cianflone/Getty Images Off-track results aside, Mostert has already delivered one of the viral moments of the 2025 Supercars season at Mount Panorama. After mechanical issues forced an early end to his Bathurst 1000, Mostert famously downed a beer with the punters at The Chase, but the aftertaste still lingers. “A lot of people have been saying to me, ‘I bet that beer tasted good’, but it actually was probably the opposite way, it didn’t taste as good because unfortunately I wish I was still out there racing,” Mostert said. “It’s one of those ones, it’s a pretty cool moment and everyone keeps reflecting on it, which is cool, but it still hurts not finishing Bathurst.” Still chasing an elusive championship 12 years after his Supercars debut, Mostert, who has finished third in the championship three times, believed the new finals system was his best chance to add a title to his two Bathurst 1000 wins. “Someone asked me the other day what I think about the finals series and does it suit me and I would say these coming years in the next couple of years are probably my best chance to try and win one with the changes,” Mostert said. “I’m up for the challenge and got the experience on my side …. I feel like I’ve got all the weapons in the arsenal to try and do it, we’ve just got to see if we can. “My biggest threat and rival is myself. That’s the sole focus.” Chaz Mostert celebrates after one of his wins on the Gold Coast. Picture: Daniel Kalisz/Getty Images Not only is Mostert the only dad still in the finals mix, but he is also the only driver without a teammate still in the equation after Ryan Wood was eliminated on the Gold Coast. The rest of the finals contingent consists of Red Bull pair Broc Feeney and Will Brown, the Grove Racing Fords of Matt Payne and Kai Allen and the Tickford Mustangs of Cam Waters and Thomas Randle. It was another angle Mostert said the team hoped to exploit with the ability to throw all their intelligence and focus at one car to try and deliver a championship. “It’s got to be something different for sure than all the other guys that are in there,” Mostert. “I know for me, I’ve got Woody in my corner trying everything to do heavy lifting in practice and in qualifying and he is solely focused on trying to help myself get to where we need to as a team for these finals. “Woody deserves to be in the seven, but it just puts more pressure on myself so that I do this for the both of us.” Brown: ‘Lot of f*** ups’ won’t ruin my Supercars finals bid Defending champion Will Brown is confident he can strike back from a “lot of f**k ups” on the Gold Coast to avoid elimination from the Supercars finals race and keep his title defence alive at his Sandown “happy hunting ground” this weekend. The Triple Eight star enters the second round of the Supercars finals series in fifth position in the danger zone for elimination after a bruising round on the Gold Coast last month. Brown needs to finish in the top four at the end of the Sandown round in order to remain in contention for the 2025 championship at the season-ending grand final in Adelaide. Brown’s Triple Eight teammate Broc Feeney leads the championship standings ahead of Ford trio Chaz Mostert, Matt Payne and Cam Waters, while Brown, Kai Allen and Thomas Randle sit in the elimination zone. Will Brown says he’s desperate to bounce back from a disappointing round on the Gold Coast. The Toowoomba pilot is just 12 points behind fourth-placed Waters and 84 behind Feeney. But the Toowoomba pilot said the pressure was on every driver in the finals – not just the three sitting in the danger zone – and he was banking on his strong recent form at Sandown to help give him an edge. “To be honest, I don’t feel a lot more pressure being fifth as if I was third or even probably closer to second,” Brown said. “I think that all of us from seventh up to second are probably close enough in points that all of us have a chance to get through and we all have a chance to get knocked out as well. “There is pressure for all of us, including Broc. You have a crash and there is high pressure. “I think we are all in the same boat, it’s just about putting your best foot forward, trying to minimise mistakes, crashes obviously, there are always things that are out of your hands. “I feel confident coming here, I have qualified pole the last two years here, won the 500 last year (with Scott Pye) and I feel like it has been a happy hunting ground for me pretty much my whole career. “I’m more confident coming into this weekend than I was on the Gold Coast.” Kai Allen, Cameron Waters, Chaz Mostert, Broc Feeney, Matt Payne, Will Brown and Thomas Randle pose ahead of the Penrite Oil Sandown 500. Brown endured a testing round at Surfers Paradise when he recovered from two qualifying crashes to finish fifth and eighth in the pair of 250km races. “It was just a lot of f**k ups to be honest – that’s pretty much how I’m going to put it – on my behalf,” Brown said. “It’s hard to look back on that and see how you improve that, you try and make sure you do more simulator work, make sure you are more prepared for each weekend, but unfortunately they are split second decisions that cause those crashes. “Hopefully we have got that out of the road and we can just focus on the rest of the year.” After one of the most consistent seasons on record to win the title last year, Brown said his title defence had “definitely not” played out as he had hoped. Brown has had just two wins and one pole, while his teammate Feeney has had 12 victories and 14 pole positions. “I think anyone can see that it’s been a disappointing title defence, but at the end of the day we’re not out of it,” Brown said. “We’ve got a shot to win the championship here and I would have liked to have done a lot better job. “Our biggest thing is to get through this weekend …. I think we get through that final four in Adelaide and we have got a shot.” Originally published as Supercars: Ryan Wood helps teammate Chaz Mostert’s championship charge Join the conversation (1 Comment) Add your comment to this story To join the conversation, please log in.

Trump cuts ties with ‘Wacky’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, once among his top MAGA-world defenders

Trump cuts ties with ‘Wacky’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, once among his top MAGA-world defenders

President Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, calling Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “’Wacky’ Marjorie” and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year’s midterms “if the right person runs.” The dismissal of Greene — once the epitome of “Make America Great Again,” sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans — appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile. The three-term U.S. House member has increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the just-ended federal government shutdown and saying they need a plan to help people who are losing subsidies to afford health insurance policies. Accusing the Georgia Republican of going “Far Left,” Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months is “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” adding, of Greene’s purported irritation that he doesn’t return her phone calls, “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.” In a response on X, Greene wrote Friday that Trump had “attacked me and lied about me.” She added a screenshot of a text she said she had sent the president earlier in the day about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, which she said “is what sent him over the edge.” Greene called it “astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level,” referencing next week’s U.S. House vote over releasing the Epstein files. Writing that she had supported Trump “with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him,” Greene added, “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.” Trump’s post seemingly tied a bow of finality to fissures that widened following this month’s off-cycle elections, in which voters in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races flocked to Democrats in large part over concerns about the cost of living. Last week, Greene told NBC News that “watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans,” saying that Trump needs to focus on high prices at home rather than his recent emphasis on foreign affairs. Trump responded by saying that Greene had “lost her way.” Asked about Greene’s comments earlier Friday as he flew from Washington to Florida, Trump reiterated that he felt “something happened to her over the last month or two,” saying that, if he hadn’t gone to China to meet leader Xi Jinping, there would have been negative ramifications for jobs in Georgia and elsewhere because China would have kept its curbs on magnet exports. Saying that people have been calling him, wanting to challenge Greene, Trump added, “She’s lost a wonderful conservative reputation.” Greene’s discontent dates back at least to May, when she announced she wouldn’t run for the Senate against Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff, while attacking GOP donors and consultants who feared she couldn’t win. In June, she publicly sided with Tucker Carlson after Trump called the commentator “kooky” in a schism that emerged between MAGA and national security hardliners over possible U.S. efforts at regime change in Iran. That only intensified in July, when Greene said she wouldn’t run for governor. Then, she attacked a political “good ole boy” system, alleging it was endangering Republican control of the state. Greene embarked on a charm offensive in recent weeks, with interviews and appearances in media aimed at people who aren’t hardcore Trump supporters. Asked on comedian Tim Dillon’s podcast if she wanted to run for president in 2028, Greene said in October, “I hate politics so much” and just wanted “to fix problems” — but didn’t give a definitive answer. That climaxed with an appearance on Bill Maher’s HBO show “Real Time,” followed days later by a Nov. 4 appearance on ABC’s “The View.” Some observers began pronouncing Greene as reasonable as she trashed Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not calling Republicans back to Washington and coming up with a health care plan. “I feel like I’m sitting next to a completely different Marjorie Taylor Greene,” said “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin. “Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie,” said co-host Joy Behar. “I’m not a Democrat,” Greene replied. “I think both parties have failed.” Jeff Amy contributed reporting from Atlanta.

AITAH for not telling my fiance why I am sterile?

AITAH for not telling my fiance why I am sterile?

So I'm late 20s F and my fiance early 30s M Let's call him Carlos are still fighting about this and it was already two weeks ago. When I was 21 I had a partial hysterectomy due to adenomyosis. It was very painful and my doctor spent two years fighting for the approval because many people were against the idea. I didn't mind losing my uterus because 1. It was very painful and 2. I was always childfree even as a kid I didn't like kids. I met Carlos three years ago. I told him on day one that I was childfree and completely sterile. He said he was childfree too so we went ahead with the relationship. He proposed in September and we started slowly planning the wedding. I never told him about the hysterectomy itself. I did not hide it on purpose It honestly just slip my mind because I already told him I could not get pregnant. My mom did not know about the engagement because she was out of the country taking care of her elderly sister and I wanted to tell her in person, she came back three weeks ago. After she rested for a week we invited her to lunch so we could tell her about it. Carlos is a prankster but mot the weird kind, while we were eating and before I could show my mom the ring he grabbed her hand and said I am sorry Mrs Mymom I impregnated your daughter my mom burst out laughing, looked at me and said either you are about to get rich or you grew a new uterus. I laughed too and said I hoped not because I had to talked to half the doctors in the country and their grandmas first time. Carlos stared at me and said What do you mean. My mom said The hysterectomy of course. Carlos said he had never heard about it. My mom laughed again and asked how he did not know. I said I guess I never brought it up because I do not think about it anymore. We were quiet for a second then I showed my mom the ring and we celebrated. After she left Carlos confronted me he asked why I never told him about the surgery I told him I had told him the important part which was that I was sterile. He said the issue was the principle and if I could keep something so big to myself for years what else could I hide. I feel like that is unfair for me I shared the relevant part at the moment and later I just didn't think about it, I was not trying to keep secrets I simply didn't think the medical details were relevant once we already agreed on being childfree. So now we want outside opinions. AITA for not telling him about the hysterectomy or is he overreacting. He has read this post and approved it so this is not only my point of view. I came back and there were soooo Many responses I'll make a quick edit to clarify some things How did you forget to tell him this: it was a very traumatic experience and everyone and their mother looked at my vagina (uterus actually) I felt embarrassed for a long time and pushed the experience deep enough till I forgot about it. Why didn't you tell him? At first because I wasn't about to trauma dump on a dude I known for 2 hours and I'm just a very quiet person in our first date I said maybe 50 words I'm more talkative now at least with him but I like my privacy and to keep things that feel deeply personal just to myself unless is relevant to something

Drop punt it like Daicos: The AFL’s impact on NFL stars ahead of MCG showdown

Los Angeles: When the Los Angeles Rams come to the MCG for the first regular-season NFL game in Australia, they could well be playing at the strange time of 10am, after a period of adjustment following a 14-hour flight. If this sounds less than convenient – the morning start, if it happens, would be for the benefit of a vast TV audience in the US – the Rams players don’t care about how long they travel, about the unusual size of the MCG, or the potential for a weird starting time. “[It] makes no difference to me,” said star LA running back Kyren Williams in one of a series of interviews this week organised for Australian media by the Rams, who have struck a deal with the Victorian government that will see the Rams play an as-yet-unnamed opponent in the week of the AFL semi-finals. “I’ll play wherever, wherever they tell us the ball’s going to be kicked off I’ll go play,” said Williams.

UN Gaza resolution: US, Pakistan and several Arab states urge ‘swift adoption’

UNITED NATIONS: The United States and several Arab and Muslim-majority nations including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey called Friday for the UN Security Council to quickly adopt a US resolution endorsing Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza. “The United States, Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Jordan, and Türkiye express our joint support for the Security Council Resolution currently under consideration,” the countries said in a joint statement, adding they were seeking the measure’s “swift adoption.” Last week the Americans officially launched negotiations within the 15-member Security Council on a text that would follow up on a ceasefire in the two-year war between Israel and Hamas and endorse Trump’s plan. “We emphasize that this is a sincere effort, and the Plan provides viable path towards peace and stability, not only between the Israelis and the Palestinians, but for the entire region. A draft of the resolution seen Thursday by AFP “welcomes the establishment of the Board of Peace,” a transitional governing body for Gaza — that Trump would theoretically chair — with a mandate running until the end of 2027.

Oil & gas sector facing cybersecurity threats: Kaspersky

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is facing cybersecurity threats (Advance Persistent Threats) in government organizations and corporate sector particularly oil and gas sector where attempts were made to steal vital information and 2.5 million web-based threats were witnessed in the country during January-September 2025. Addressing a press conference here on Friday, the global cybersecurity company Kaspersky presented statistics, unpacking Pakistan’s current cyberthreat landscape, and shared practical advice for staying cyber secure. During a media briefing session, Dmitry Berezin, Kaspersky’s Global Security Expert, focused on pressing cyberthreats facing the country, including exploits, ransomware and advanced targeted attacks. Understanding the growing and increasingly sophisticated cyberthreat landscape is crucial for organizations, while individuals should also stay aware and follow fundamental cyber hygiene principles, Kaspersky advices. Within the financial sector, if any bank’s data is compromised, the incidents are usually not reported by banks to retain banking clients, expert responded to a query. According to data from Kaspersky, over 5.3 million on-device attacks were detected in Pakistan in three quarters of 2025 (January-September): 27 percent of all users and 24 percent of corporate entities faced malware delivered via infected USB drives, CDs, DVDs, and hidden installers, including ransomware, worms, backdoors, trojans, password stealers, and spyware. In the same period, over 2.5 million web attacks were blocked by Kaspersky solutions: 16% of all users and 13% of corporate entities faced web-based threats that include phishing scams, exploits, botnets, Remote Desktop Protocol attacks, and network spoofing, such as fake Wi-Fi networks. More detailed statistic by malware types showed over 354,000 exploitation attempts stopped by Kaspersky solutions, 166,000 banking malware detections, 126,000 spyware attacks prevented, 113,000 backdoors and 107,000 password stealers blocked. Ransomware attacks, which are not characterized by mass distribution, but are more targeted on specific victims, were detected 42,000 times. Top exploited vulnerabilities in Pakistan included two from 2025 in 7-Zip and several from previous years in Microsoft Office, HTML, WinRar, VLC player and Notepad++. This underscores the importance of timely updates both by individuals and organizations. Furthermore, ransomware remains a leading reason of corporate cyber incidents globally and in Pakistan, with targeted groups selecting high-value victims across government and enterprise. Effective defence requires a combination of prevention and response actions. These include adopting rigorous patching, strong authentication, restricted remote access, deployment of endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) solutions such as those from the Kaspersky Next product line, regular backups, and continuous user awareness to mitigate phishing-driven initial access. Kaspersky shared that the Pakistan is a focus for seven Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups. These both established and emerging groups target telecoms and financial services, critical infrastructure and government entities, while also extending their reach into commercial and emerging industries, Dmitry said. APT groups quickly adapt their tactics, techniques, and procedures. One such example of significant shift in tactics is seen in the recent targeted campaign, monitored by Kaspersky, by the APT group called ‘Mysterious Elephant’ that primarily targets organizations across the Asia-Pacific region, including in Pakistan. It aims to steal highly sensitive information, including documents, images, and archived files, with WhatsApp data targeted for exfiltration. In their 2025 campaign the attackers use a combination of exploit kits, personalized spear-phishing emails, and malicious documents, tailoring each attack to specific victims to gain initial access. Once inside the network, the threat actor employs a variety of tools and techniques to escalate privileges, move laterally, and exfiltrate sensitive data. “Some threats are distributed widely, while others are highly focused. For example, exploitation of 0-day vulnerabilities is a tactic that is used by sophisticated cybercriminals in attacks such as ransomware and advanced persistent threats,” commented Dmitry Berezin, Kaspersky’s Global Security Expert. “Understanding the threat landscape becomes an operational necessity: when you know which threats are active in the region, you can fine-tune the security controls to be proactively protected against them.” Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
