      Ukraine behind car blast that killed Putin’s close aide’s daughter: US intelligence

      Washington: The United States’s intelligence agencies believe that the Ukrainian government authorised the bomb attack near Moscow in August that killed the daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s close aide Alexander Dugin, and that it was the father who was the target, not the daughter according to a report by The New York Times. Darya Dugina, daughter of Russian strategist and ultra-nationalist Alexander Dugin — also known as ‘Putin’s brain’, died in a car explosion outside Moscow while travelling home from an event. “The closely held assessment of Ukrainian complicity, which has not been previously reported, was shared within the US government last week”, the NYT reported. The report added that although Ukraine’s forces had shown the potential of such sabotage attacks deep inside…

      Thousands take to streets across US states for abortion rights protests ahead of midterm election

      Thousands marched in cities across the United States on Saturday to protest the Supreme Court’s overturning of the federal right to abortion and to urge voters to turn out in a Democratic “blue wave” in next month’s key midterm elections. In Washington, a crowd of mostly women chanted “We won’t go back” as they marched. They carried posters calling for a “feminist tsunami” and urging people to “vote to save women’s rights.” “I don’t want to have to go back to a different time,” Emily Bobal, an 18-year-old student, told AFP. “It’s kind of ridiculous that we still have to do this in 2022,” she said, adding that she is concerned that the conservative-dominated high court might next target same-sex…

      Thailand massacre: Three-year-old ‘miracle’ girl escaped death because she slept

      A three-year-old toddler luckily survived the horrific massacre at a nursery in northeast Thailand. The girl was fast asleep under a blanket in the corner of a classroom while former police officer Panya Khamrap killed more than 30 people, mostly children in the nursery. Paveenut Supolwong, nicknamed “Ammy,” is normally a light sleeper, but at naptime on Thursday (October 6) when the killer burst into the nursery and began murdering 22 children, Ammy was fast asleep with the blanket covering her face, her parents said. The coincidence has saved her life. Ammy is the only child in the nursery who escaped unscathed “I’m in shock,” said Ammy’s mother, Panompai Sithong. “I feel for other families… I’m glad that my kid…

      Biden’s student-loan forgiveness could be delayed next week as lawsuits continue to mount. Here’s where the cases stand.

      Biden’s student-loan forgiveness is facing at least four lawsuits from conservative groups.A federal judge will hear arguments on one of them next week and decide whether to pause the relief. Conservatives aren’t happy with President Joe Biden’s student-loan forgiveness — and some of them have taken the policy to court. The administration faces at least four major lawsuits, and a federal judge will hear oral arguments for one led by Republican states next week. They could grant the states’ request to pause on Biden’s debt-relief plan — either way, despite a promised application coming out this month, the judge said no debt would be forgiven before October 17. At the end of August, Biden announced up to $20,000 in debt relief for…

      Liz Truss government may have to cut 200,000 jobs to stay afloat

      It has been barely a few weeks since the Liz Truss government took charge in the UK but looks like the wheels are already coming off. Currently, in a major economic crisis, the UK will need to cut as many as 200,000 government jobs in the next two years to avoid saddling the exchequer with billions in debt, per a report by Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). The think tank said that the government will have to find a way to pay nearly $5.6 billion of savings to the workforce this year, accounting for the public sector wages that are set to increase by five per cent.  It added that over 100,00 job cuts will ensure that the wage bill…

      Explosion damages bridge to Crimea, hurts Russia supply line

      Kyiv: An explosion Saturday caused the partial collapse of a bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia, damaging an important supply artery for the Kremlin’s faltering war effort in southern Ukraine. Russian authorities said a truck bomb caused the blast, which killed three people. The speaker of the Russian-backed regional parliament in Crimea immediately accused Ukraine of being behind the explosion; Moscow didn’t apportion blame. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly threatened to strike the bridge and some lauded the destruction, but Kyiv stopped short of claiming responsibility. The explosion risked a sharp escalation in Russia’s eight-month war, with some Russian lawmakers calling for President Vladimir Putin to declare a “counterterrorism operation” in retaliation, shedding the term “special military operation” that had downplayed the scope of fighting to ordinary…

      Indian-American prof gets Rs 5.2 crore for cybersecurity research

      New York: Indian-American computer science professor Brajendra Panda has been awarded $637,223 (Rs 5.2 crore) by the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity to improve recovery methods for critical infrastructure systems following a cyberattack. Panda, a University of Arkansas professor of computer science and computer engineering, says that the interdependence and interconnection of CI systems make them more vulnerable to cyberattacks and can cause initial damage to spread quickly to other systems. “Thus, a small vulnerability in one of these systems can result in crippling a large number of them,” Panda said. “These systems are of heterogeneous type by nature, meaning they contain both heterogeneous software and data.” Due to the complexity of CI systems, recovering them can cause significant delays, which…
