The United Arab Emirates decried that it was being targeted "in a very unwarranted manner" in the war, stressing it would "not partake in any attacks against Iran", which has lashed out at Gulf countries seen as US allies. (Photo by AFP via Getty Images) - | Afp | Getty Images Hours after the first salvos of the U.S. and Israel's "pre-emptive" strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, the data analytics firm Kpler observed vessels in the Persian Gulf making unusual maneuvers, with location data from ships in the Gulf showing vessels traveling over land and making sharp turns in polygonal paths. Since the start of the war, similar disruptions to location-based services have surged across the Middle East , affecting mariners, aircraft, and motorists alike. These disruptions have also exposed key vulnerabilities of the GPS, an American-made system now synonymous with satellite navigation. For years, firms like Kpler have flagged thousands of instances of oil tankers in the Persian Gulf manipulating onboard Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals — the system used to track vessels in transit — to evade sanctions on Iranian oil exports. Known as spoofing, this manipulation of location signals allows vessels to obscure their movements, and has long been a tool of "covert" operations, according to Ana Subasic, a trade risk analyst from Kpler. But since the start of hostilities in the Middle East, location spoofing in the Persian Gulf has surged dramatically. Within the first 24 hours of the conflict, maritime intelligence firm Windward logged over 1,100 different vessels across the Gulf experiencing AIS interference, followed by a 55% increase a week later . Dire straits "There are a lot of entities that are trying to jam GPS — or other satellite navigation signals — in the region with various reasons for doing so," said Clayton Swope, deputy direc...

Rising energy bills give Reform and Tories opening to attack net zero while government hesitant to make case for clean energy Could net zero become “the next Brexit”? That is the fear stalking climate advocates as the oil crisis caused by the war on Iran starts to bite. A powerful coalition of the well-funded Reform party , led by Nigel Farage, the Conservative party, some business interests, and the UK’s right-wing media , are engaged in an onslaught against the longstanding target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 .

Championed by a former chief medical officer, Lifeline is both a musical following Alexander Fleming’s discovery of the first antibiotic and a warning about the threat of superbugs in the present day The floor of the United Nations is rarely handed over to musicians; when it is, it’s to global superstars such as Abba, Beyoncé and K-pop band BTS.

Championed by a former chief medical officer, Lifeline is both a musical following Alexander Fleming’s discovery of the first antibiotic and a warning about the threat of superbugs in the present day The floor of the United Nations is rarely handed over to musicians; when it is, it’s to global superstars such as Abba, Beyoncé and K-pop band BTS. So why, then, has a foot-stomping, folk-infused Scottish musical been added to the list of performances so influential they’ve gone on to fill the halls of New York’s General Assembly Building? The subject of Lifeline, an energetic, imaginative stage account of the life of the father of penicillin, Alexander Fleming, with a modern love story and a Greek chorus of real scientists, provides a clue. This unlikely show tells the story of one of medicine’s most pressing crises: antimicrobial resistance and the deadly global threat of drug-resistant infections or superbugs. Continue reading...

As well as being one of the team’s best performers, midfielder has become a talisman who is aware of the club’s spirit and traditions The video of Bruno Fernandes kicking in the door is very good, if you haven’t already seen it. In a way, it explains a lot. His Sporting team are drawing 1‑1 at Boavista in 2019 and Fernandes has just been sent off for a fully deserved second yellow. As he stalks down the tunnel he takes furious aim at the two doors, the sheer force of the kick knocking him off his feet. The doors make a magnificent shotgun sound, but do not yield. “Fuck you!” Fernandes shouts as Boavista security guards try to intervene. “I’ll pay for the fucking doors! Go fuck yourselves!” Continue reading...
While China appears better prepared than other countries to deal with the shocks brought by the US-Israel war on Iran, its economy would still come under pressure in the short term if its regional partners suffer, an executive with a global consultancy has said. “China might be more resilient, but China is not resilient to a demand shock,” said Denis Depoux, a global managing director at consultan...
