UK police to use AI facial recognition tech linked to Israel’s war on Gaza
The United Kingdom’s controversial rollout of facial recognition technology will rely on software that appears to have already been deployed in Gaza, where it is used by the Israeli army to track, trace, and abduct thousands of Palestinian civilians passing through checkpoints.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced on Monday that British police would massively increase the use of facial recognition technology used for surveillance purposes.

France says will support EU designation of Iran’s IRGC as ‘terrorist’ group
France has said it supports the European Union’s push to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organisation”, reversing earlier opposition to the move.
Established after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the IRGC is a branch of the country’s military that answers directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
It oversees the Iranian missile and nuclear programmes and plays a central role in Iran’s defence as well as its foreign operations and influence in the wider region.
Iran has warned of “destructive consequences” if the EU goes ahead with plans to list the IRGC, and it summoned the Italian ambassador over Rome’s spearheading of the move.

No they've removed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria from the terror list.
The EU is a terror group.
But they sell.weapons to support israel's genocide and won't even boycott them.from Eurovision.
The EU is clown show
I sure did! And I read the rest of the words around that!
What's your point? Mine was that if you take a few sentences, remove the context, the meaning is different.
CNN is saying that what people were told previously (that he was just paranoid) is actually justified.
A better example of what this tweet and thus this lemmy post are going for would probably be links to articles previously saying he was just paranoid - particularly if it was also CNN saying it. 🙃

China executes 11 members of gang who ran billion-dollar criminal empire in Myanmar
China has executed 11 members of the notorious Ming family criminal gang, who ran mafia-like scam centers in Myanmar and killed workers who tried to escape, Chinese state media reported on Thursday.
The Ming family was one of the so-called four families of northern Myanmar — crime syndicates accused of running hundreds of compounds dealing in internet fraud, prostitution and drug production, and whose members held prominent positions in the local government and militia aligned with Myanmar’s ruling junta.
The 11 people executed were sentenced to death in September after being found guilty of crimes including homicide, illegal detention, and fraud, Xinhua news agency reported.

Nevermind, I solved my own problem. it was right there in the online help for sub-replace-expression. The syntax to access the nth match in a \= expression is submatch(n).
So in my example, the correct line to achieve what I want is:
:let i=1 | %g/\(foo\|bar\)1/ s//\=submatch(1) . i/g | let i+=1
All I had to do was keep reading instead of skimming the documentation 🙂

Yukon coroner identifies man fatally shot by police outside Whitehorse
Yukon's coroner has named the man shot and killed by RCMP on Tuesday, south of Whitehorse.
In a news release on Wednesday, the Yukon Coroner Service identified the deceased man as Christopher John Delaney, 55, of Whitehorse.
The shooting happened on Tuesday at approximately 1 p.m. near the McClintock River Bridge in Marsh Lake, about 50 kilometres southeast of Whitehorse, police said in an earlier news release.
RCMP said a warrant had been issued for the man's arrest in relation to a firearms incident over the weekend. They had earlier asked for the public's help to find Delaney, saying he was facing several weapons-related charges.
During the interaction with Delaney on Tuesday, "a police-involved shooting occurred, resulting in the death of the individual," the statement read.

Toronto-based FrontFundr reported strong financial results on Wednesday, thanks in large part to a high-profile quest to fund a Canadian social media company through its crowdfunding platform.FrontFundr released its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 on Wednesday.

Millions of Canadian homes have high levels of cancer-causing radon. Is yours one of them?
Roughly one in five residential buildings in Canada has high radon levels — a figure that’s more than doubled since the late 2000s — while radon-induced lung cancer kills an estimated 3,200 people each year, federal figures show.
Yep. We bought a test kit off of Amazon that gave us readings of 400+ Bqm on average which prompted me to buy a proper lab testable module. Months later my results came back and the area that was tested showed a bit over 330 +/- 60 Bqm, way past the upper limit of acceptable Radon levels.
I’ve got a guy coming in to install a fan, so we’ll see how that goes.
I'm in the same boat.
Does your province have any grants for installs? The grant process in BC is a nightmare.
We got a radon fan put in a few years back. Went from 120-180 with the windows shut in winter down to 0-10 year round.
Not that expensive, just do it. My poor neighbor across the street died of lung cancer. He smoked too but we can’t be sure his risk factors weren’t compounded. Lots of houses on our street have TV rooms in basements.
Ontario premier says election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster'
Ontario Premier Doug Ford dipped his toe into Quebec provincial politics Wednesday, suggesting that the election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster' for Canada.
Ford was speaking at a joint news conference with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt before a meeting of provincial premiers.
That will likely be current Quebec Premier François Legault's final first ministers' meeting, as Legault announced earlier this month he would be resigning as premier once his party selects a new leader.
With the Parti Québécois (PQ)'s Paul St-Pierre Plamondon leading handily in opinion polls ahead of the fall provincial election, Ford and Holt were asked what it might be like to sit around the first ministers' table with a separatist premier.
I wish Druggie would just shut the fuck up already. He keeps yakking about other provinces like he's on a the campaign trail for PM, when in fact he's got a snowball's chance in hell of being elected as our leader.
Who in the fuck would want him leading Canada????
... like he's on a the campaign trail for PM
He could be depending what happens in the next few days with Pierre.

No charges laid in fatal Victoria police shooting in 2021
No charges will be laid against a Victoria Police Department officer who shot and killed a man in September 2021, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service.
On Sept. 12, 2021, VicPD officers responded to calls about a man in a mental health crisis who was holding a knife to his throat and threatening to kill himself.
Police fired beanbag rounds at the man while trying to keep him around the then-closed Island Savings Credit Union at Tolmie Avenue and Douglas Street, but he moved into nearby bushes.
“A trained crisis negotiator came and tried to calm him down, asking him to drop the knife,” said the B.C. Prosecution Service statement.
The man came out of the bushes with the knife and an unnamed police officer shot him once in the stomach.
