After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey , U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the federal government to deploy better drone-tracking technology to identify and ultimately stop the airborne pests. The New York Democrat is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to immediately deploy special technology that identifies and tracks drones back to their landing spots, according to briefings from his office. Schumer’s calls come amid growing public concern that the federal government hasn’t offered clear explanations as to who is operating the drones, and has not stopped them. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, on Fox News Sunday. “The answer ‘We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer.” President-elect Donald Trump posted on social media last week: “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge? I don’t think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down.” Certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security have the power to “incapacitate” drones, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “But we need those authorities expanded,” he said, without saying exactly how. The drones don’t appear to be linked to foreign governments, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast. And we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” Mayorkas said. Last year, federal aviation rules began requiring certain drones to broadcast their identities. It’s not clear whether that information has been used to determine who is operating the drones swarming locations in New York and New Jersey. Mayorkas’ office didn’t immediately respond to questions about whether they’ve been able to identify drones using this capability. Schumer is calling for recently declassified radar technology to be used to help determine whether an object is a drone or a bird, identify its electronic registration, and follow it back to its landing place. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday said federal officials were sending a drone detection system to the state. “This system will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” Hochul said in a statement. The governor did not immediately provide additional details, including where the system will be deployed. Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month over New Jersey, raising concerns among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility and over Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified.

China on Monday launched an investigation into U.S. chip giant Nvidia for allegedly violating its anti-monopoly laws, a top government agency said, as the two countries race for global chipmaking dominance. Beijing's state administration for market regulation, the authority on antitrust issues, launched the probe "in accordance with the law", according to a statement shared online. Nvidia is also suspected of violating commitments it made in 2020, the statement said, when it acquired Israeli data center firm Mellanox. Shares in Nvidia dropped Monday after Beijing announced the probe. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. China and the United States have in recent weeks clashed over exports of key chipmaking technology, where Nvidia is a major player. Beijing last week said it would restrict exports to the United States of some key components in making semiconductors, after Washington announced curbs targeting China's ability to make advanced chips. Among the materials banned from export are metals gallium, antimony and germanium, China's commerce ministry said in a statement that cited "national security" concerns. In its own latest curbs, Washington has announced restrictions on sales to 140 companies, including Chinese chip firms Piotech and SiCarrier, without additional permission. The move expands Washington's efforts to curb exports of state-of-the-art chips to China, which can be used in advanced weapons systems and artificial intelligence. The new U.S. rules also include controls on two dozen types of chipmaking equipment and three kinds of software tools for developing or producing semiconductors. The U.S. tech behemoth has seen its profits soar on the back of strong demand for its artificial intelligence technology. In November, Nvidia surpassed Apple to become the highest-valued company in the world as the artificial intelligence boom continues to excite Wall Street. But the Chinese market has been a rare weak spot. The U.S. government in 2023 restricted Nvidia from selling some of its top AI chips to China, which the U.S. sees as a strategic competitor in the field of advanced semiconductors. Although Nvidia in November reported record high quarterly revenue, investors were wary of U.S.-China tensions reheating with the return of Donald Trump to the White House. But during an event in Hong Kong last month, Nvidia's Taiwan-born CEO Jensen Huang told reporters "open science and open research in AI is absolutely global" and that "nothing" would stop that.Lindbergh Elementary hosted a Glow Read Night on Thursday to support literacy while incorporating a little fun. The halls of Lindbergh were filled with tables of age appropriate literacy activities. Kindergartners utilized magnetic letters to spell out words. From there, teachers had students switch out letters to create new words. For example, changing the word “big” to “bag” to “rag.” First graders played roll and read where students roll a giant dice and read words in the selected column. Things get a little more complicated for the upper grades. They worked on adding prefixes and suffixes to words and played games like boggle. As students and parents continued throughout the school, they ended at the gym which had hopscotch, glow in the dark mask decorating, drawing stations and scooters for the kids. Ryleigh Nurski, first grade teacher and PTA president, says Glow Read Night is more than just a fun time for students. It also serves as an opportunity for parents to learn components of the district’s new phonics program so parents can help their students at home. “Everybody needs to know how to read,” said Nurski. “If they’re working on literacy skills at home and they’re working on literacy skills here at school, then, they’re going to be better readers.” Representatives from United Way and the Washington Public Library were in attendance. Additionally, books were donated by St. Joseph Reads to be handed out to kids. “We’re living in a technological world. So, to have those physical books for kids to read is a huge thing,” Nurski said. Caspian Roland, a Lindbergh student, chose Wings of Fire for his free book. He says his favorite part was playing in the gym. “You’ll have the time of your life and it’ll be awesome and fun,” he said. Serafina, Rubi and Evelyn, third and fourth graders at Lindbergh, say they had a great time at Glow Read Night. They even shared their favorite parts about reading new stories. “You really get to connect with the story,” Serafina said. “[I like] talking about the story,” said Rubi. On the flip side, the girls say they struggle with big words and chapter books. However, using strategies they’ve learned from their teachers they plan on reading more at home to combat those challenges. As a first grade teacher, Nurski says the hardest part about teaching literacy skills is getting students to know letters and sounds. “Once they know the sound, then it’s kind of just decoding and then blending the words together... then the rest kind of comes together,” she said. Nurski encourages more parents to attend more Glow Read Nights in the future. Not only does it bring the Lindbergh community together but the goal is to make parents feel more welcome at Lindbergh. “Let them know that we’re here to support them. We’re here to support their kids,” she said.

Key Pimozide Tablet Market Driver 2024-2033: Rising Healthcare ExpenditureKatie was removed by officers from a shop in Lisburn The Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland have been ‘notified of an incident’ after a young autistic woman was removed from a retail store by PSNI officers in Lisburn earlier this month. Police have also met with the family of the woman in question, but said that the case has not been referred to the Ombudsman “because there is any suspected criminality or inappropriate behaviour which would justify disciplinary proceedings”. Eileen Mitchell said her 19-year old sister, Katie - who is non-verbal, autistic and has learning difficulties - was removed from a branch of the second-hand electronics shop CEX in Lisburn, and was left ‘traumatised’ by the event. Footage of the incident has been widely shared online, and several political representatives have since expressed concern. On Saturday evening, Lisburn and Castlereagh District Commander, Superintendent Kelly Moore said: “We are aware of video footage which is circulating on social media in which officers are seen to be carrying a female from a shop. “Police were called by the female’s mother to provide assistance in the Bow Street area of Lisburn at 6.15pm on Sunday 22nd December. The shop was closing its shutters when a female entered the premises. Officers attended and after discussions with family and staff members for approximately 20 minutes, a 19-year-old female with complex needs was removed from the shop by a family member, assisted by police. One officer was injured during the course of the incident. “This was a very difficult and complex set of circumstances for everyone involved and I have spoken to the family today to discuss their concerns. As an organisation we are committed to continuous learning and any feedback will be reviewed and considered. Our officers are routinely called to challenging situations and as in this case we will always seek a patient approach when dealing with people with complex needs. “The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland has been notified of this incident, not because there is any suspected criminality or inappropriate behaviour which would justify disciplinary proceedings, but owing to the widespread public concern and media attention surrounding the release of a short video clip of a few seconds of this incident.” This afternoon, deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly said her party had contacted police on the matter. “Many will be aware of a very troubling incident recorded in Lisburn before Christmas,” she said. “Many have contacted me, sending the clip and expressing serious concerns. "Please be assured, we have reached out and also have contacted the PSNI in relation to the incident.” Earlier, explaining what happened, Ms Mitchell said her sister had entered the shop after she spotted a DVD she wished to purchase, but was told by staff that a sale was not possible as the registers had been taken off due to closing. She shared an image of Kate standing at the till, alongside a video in which she is being carried by several police officers out the front door of the shop. Katie was removed by officers from a shop in Lisburn Watch: Police remove autistic girl from Lisburn shop The post has nearly 10,000 likes and over 8,000 shares, while the group NI Disability and Carers shared the post saying they “have no words” and tagged Chief Constable Jon Boutcher asking him if the response from the officers in the video was acceptable. Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Eileen said Katie didn’t understand the situation which occurred after she spotted a DVD she wished to purchase of her favourite cartoon series Thomas the Tank Engine, and hit out at how it was handled by the retailer. “It’s shocking, it’s like something you would have expected 20 years ago, but it’s coming into 2025 and things like this are still happening to vulnerable people,” said Eileen who said she believes it was her parents who called the police in the hopes of helping de-escalating the situation. CEX has been contacted for comment. “To be honest, Katie was very traumatised over this for a long time, it was the shock of it. We don’t know what long term impact it will have, we’re scared Katie will now react if she sees a police officer when out shopping, or if she sees another one of these shops. “I don’t think we can take her shopping in Lisburn either, it’s so traumatic for her. “You just assume that you can call the police in a crisis, and they’ll be able to help and be aware of how to handle vulnerable people, and help the situation.” After the incident, Eileen claims her sister was carried outside of the shop, before she was set down. The police and shop staff then left, as Katie and Eileen’s father attempted to help her. She also said her father stepped in after the incident because he was concerned that due to her low weight, Katie would be hurt when being carried by the officers. “The worst part of it was that she was just left outside the store and everyone just walked off,” she added. “We did hear from the police on Christmas Day who contacted us who told us that it was basically my mum and dads fault - as well as Katie’s fault. They were blaming them.” The family said they have not received any further response from the police. “I shared the video because of how my parents and Katie have been since, they’re really in shock about it all. The fact that several police officers needed to remove a young girl because of a £2 DVD. At the time when Katie wanted to buy it, my mum also said she begged with the shop to do anything that would help, like bringing back the DVD the next day to scan it, or letting them keep the box so the sale could be processed in the morning. “I think we just need more common sense, and a better approach for disabled and vulnerable adults.” The incident comes weeks after the PSNI launched training webinars for police officers in partnership Autism NI . An aspect of the training was to “focus on understanding and responding to the needs of autistic members of the public whilst on duty.” At the time, Autism NI praised the partnership and said it was “ great to see” the organisation's “commitment to supporting both autistic members of the public and autistic staff members”. Sinn Féin councillor Gary McCleave said he had also contacted the PSNI over the incident. “I have made contact with the PSNI regarding this incident,” he said. “This incident highlights the importance that shops and people who work in the public sector receive appropriate training. “I will be speaking with my colleagues who will be raising it with the policing board.” Lagan Valley MP Sorcha Eastwood also said she had contacted the family. "Folks, regarding a video of an incident last week in Lisburn, I've made contact with all parties concerned this evening,” she said. “In order to respect privacy and process, I will not be commenting further. Please rest assured that we are supporting the family and will be following through.” We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

The dizzying array of legal threats to Brazil's former President Jair BolsonaroIt has become somewhat trite to comment on the fact that the threat landscape has become increasingly hostile over recent years but 2024 acted as a reminder that attackers continue to become more refined and brutal, with real world consequences. This year we saw hackers cause carnage at a wide range of organizations, from healthcare, telecoms, technology, industries as well as the public sector. Collected below is a roundup of the biggest cyber scares we saw over the course of this year. Change Healthcare attack causes chaos across US medical facilities (Image credit: Getty Images) The year got off to a somewhat rocky start in February when Change Healthcare, a key provider of payment technologies to the healthcare industry was hit by a cyberattack that crippled its services. On 21 February Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of the US's largest health insurer UnitedHealth Group posted a notice stating that it had suffered a ransomware attack that forced it to take its systems offline. The breach meant medical facilities reliant on the technology provided by Change Healthcare could not process electronic payments, medical claims, or drug prescriptions, causing chaos across the US. The firms confirmed that a "substantial quantity of data" had been exfiltrated from its environment between 17 and 20 February. In June this year, we learned that the stolen information included sensitive information covering patients' health, their insurance, financials, as well as other PII such as their social security numbers, driver's licenses, state ID numbers, and passport numbers.

By REBECCA SANTANA WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has promised to end birthright citizenship as soon as he gets into office to make good on campaign promises aiming to restrict immigration and redefining what it means to be American. But any efforts to halt the policy would face steep legal hurdles. Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the United States automatically becomes an American citizen. It’s been in place for decades and applies to children born to someone in the country illegally or in the U.S. on a tourist or student visa who plans to return to their home country. It’s not the practice of every country, and Trump and his supporters have argued that the system is being abused and that there should be tougher standards for becoming an American citizen. But others say this is a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it would be extremely difficult to overturn and even if it’s possible, it’s a bad idea. Here’s a look at birthright citizenship, what Trump has said about it and the prospects for ending it: During an interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Trump said he “absolutely” planned to halt birthright citizenship once in office. “We’re going to end that because it’s ridiculous,” he said. Trump and other opponents of birthright citizenship have argued that it creates an incentive for people to come to the U.S. illegally or take part in “birth tourism,” in which pregnant women enter the U.S. specifically to give birth so their children can have citizenship before returning to their home countries. “Simply crossing the border and having a child should not entitle anyone to citizenship,” said Eric Ruark, director of research for NumbersUSA, which argues for reducing immigration. The organization supports changes that would require at least one parent to be a permanent legal resident or a U.S. citizen for their children to automatically get citizenship. Others have argued that ending birthright citizenship would profoundly damage the country. “One of our big benefits is that people born here are citizens, are not an illegal underclass. There’s better assimilation and integration of immigrants and their children because of birthright citizenship,” said Alex Nowrasteh, vice president for economic and social policy studies at the pro-immigration Cato Institute. In 2019, the Migration Policy Institute estimated that 5.5 million children under age 18 lived with at least one parent in the country illegally in 2019, representing 7% of the U.S. child population. The vast majority of those children were U.S. citizens. The nonpartisan think tank said during Trump’s campaign for president in 2015 that the number of people in the country illegally would “balloon” if birthright citizenship were repealed, creating “a self-perpetuating class that would be excluded from social membership for generations.” In the aftermath of the Civil War, Congress ratified the 14th Amendment in July 1868. That amendment assured citizenship for all, including Black people. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the 14th Amendment says. “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” But the 14th Amendment didn’t always translate to everyone being afforded birthright citizenship. For example, it wasn’t until 1924 that Congress finally granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. A key case in the history of birthright citizenship came in 1898, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the states. The federal government had tried to deny him reentry into the county after a trip abroad on grounds he wasn’t a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some have argued that the 1898 case clearly applied to children born of parents who are both legal immigrants to America but that it’s less clear whether it applies to children born to parents without legal status or, for example, who come for a short-term like a tourist visa. “That is the leading case on this. In fact, it’s the only case on this,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports immigration restrictions. “It’s a lot more of an open legal question than most people think.” Some proponents of immigration restrictions have argued the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment allows the U.S. to deny citizenship to babies born to those in the country illegally. Trump himself used that language in his 2023 announcement that he would aim to end birthright citizenship if reelected. Trump wasn’t clear in his Sunday interview how he aims to end birthright citizenship. Asked how he could get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action, Trump said: “Well, we’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.” Pressed further on whether he’d use an executive order, Trump said “if we can, through executive action.” He gave a lot more details in a 2023 post on his campaign website . In it, he said he would issue an executive order the first day of his presidency, making it clear that federal agencies “require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic U.S. citizens.” Related Articles National Politics | In promising to shake up Washington, Trump is in a class of his own National Politics | Election Day has long passed.

Nowrasteh from the Cato Institute said the law is clear that birthright citizenship can’t be ended by executive order but that Trump may be inclined to take a shot anyway through the courts. “I don’t take his statements very seriously. He has been saying things like this for almost a decade,” Nowrasteh said. “He didn’t do anything to further this agenda when he was president before. The law and judges are near uniformly opposed to his legal theory that the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States are not citizens.” Trump could steer Congress to pass a law to end birthright citizenship but would still face a legal challenge that it violates the Constitution.

Greg Gumbel , a sports broadcaster for CBS for more than 20 years who covered the NFL and college basketball, died Friday of cancer. He was 78. CBS Sports shared a statement from his wife Marcy and daughter Michelle Gumbel, who said, “It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband and father, Greg Gumbel. He passed away peacefully surrounded by much love after a courageous battle with cancer. Greg approached his illness like one would expect he would, with stoicism, grace, and positivity. He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry; and his iconic voice will never be forgotten. Greg’s memory will forever be treasured by his family, dearest friends, colleagues and all who loved him.” The older brother of TV newsman Bryant Gumbel, Greg Gumbel started out at a local Chicago station before joining ESPN in 1979, the year it launched. He anchored “SportsCenter” and did play-by-play for NBA games. He earned a local Emmy Award for hosting programming for the Madison Square Garden Network. In 1989, he moved to CBS Sports, where he announced NFL and college basketball games and hosted “The NFL Today.” Gumbel moved briefly to NBC, then returned to CBS and became part of the net’s March Madness coverage and announced NFL games. Earlier this year, he stepped away from his March Madness coverage at CBS. Born in New Orleans, he grew up in Chicago and graduated from Loras College. David Berson, president of CBS Sports, said in a statement, “The CBS Sports family is devastated by the passing of Greg Gumbel. There has never been a finer gentleman in all of television. He was beloved and respected by those of us who had the honor to call him a friend and colleague. A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, Greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time. He was a familiar and welcoming voice for fans across many sports, including the NFL and March Madness, highlighted by the Super Bowl and Final Four. Greg broke barriers and set the standard for others to follow. It is an extremely sad day for all of us at CBS Sports and the entire sports community. We will miss Greg dearly, and send our deepest condolences to his wife Marcy, daughter Michelle, and his entire family.” His friend and former co-worker, producer Dan Forer, wrote on X, “The holidays are supposed to be filled with joy, but they are often mixed with sorrow. I just learned that my dear friend Greg Gumbel has passed. Greg was the best announcer a young producer/director could have... In addition to being a true professional he was a kind, magnificent man. May his memory be a treasured blessing for his family and friends.”
