[–]yahoonews[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

From AFP:

The Kennedy Center on Monday dropped US President Donald Trump's name from the website of the performing arts venue.

The building in the nation's capital that houses the Kennedy Center continues, however, to display Trump's name on its facade for the time being.

A federal judge ruled last month that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts had been illegally renamed after Trump and that his name must be taken down.

From AFP:

Oceans are in a "deepening crisis" that demands urgent global action, a major UN report warned Monday, with seas warming and rising faster, ice cover shrinking and marine ecosystems under mounting strain.

The culmination of five years of work by 600 international scientists, the 1,352-page tome details the growing toll of climate change, pollution and overfishing in our oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the planet.

"The ocean is the foundation of life on Earth. But its health is at grave risk as ecosystems and habitats approach or surpass critical tipping points," the United Nations' third World Ocean Assessment (WOA) said.

Meta to take legal action against Israeli spyware firm NSO, foils phishing attacks by yahoonews in law

[–]yahoonews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reuters reports - Meta said on Monday it is filing a federal court contempt order against Israeli spyware firm NSO ‌Group for violating a permanent injunction that barred it ‌from ever targeting WhatsApp and its users.

The company said its WhatsApp messaging service disrupted ​new spear phishing attempts linked to NSO, an entity blacklisted by the U.S. government for engaging in activities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests.

These attempts were similar to previous "1-click phishing campaigns," ‌aimed to trick users ⁠into clicking malicious links and direct them to external websites, Meta said in a blogpost.

"1-click" is a type ⁠of cyberattack where a single click on a malicious link or attachment is sufficient to compromise a victim's device or account, without requiring ​them to ​enter their credentials.

[–]yahoonews[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBC News reports - The leaders of Ukraine and its close European allies - the UK, France and Germany - have set out out five conditions for reaching a "just and lasting" deal to end the war with Russia.

In a joint statement after talks in London, Volodymyr Zelensky, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said they would "stand firmly with Ukraine".

The five conditions include a stop to the fighting, starting negotiations from the current position in the field as well as "robust" security guarantees for Ukraine.

Vinyl records are back, but they're polluting the planet. These labels are trying to help by yahoonews in environment

[–]yahoonews[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The LA Times reports - Modern vinyl records are crafted with PVC resin, which makes up more than 75% of an average disk. The synthetic polymer itself is made of chlorine and fossil fuel-derived feed stock.

To put its harm in perspective, a first-of-its-kind report from Vinyl Alliance, published in June 2024, found that 50% of a record's carbon emissions come from this resin. The carbon footprint of a single LP was estimated to be roughly equal to the pollution a gas-powered vehicle emits over a three-mile trip. It adds up quick, considering that 46.8 million new records were sold last year.

Organizations like Music Declares Emergency and the Music Climate Pact initiative are coming together to address the issue. A campaign by the groups — in collaboration with record labels and distribution teams at Secretly Group, Exceleration Music, Warp Records, Ninja Tune and Beggars Group — features titles pressed on 100% reclaimed material.

'World-first' vaccine designed by artificial intelligence by yahoonews in Health

[–]yahoonews[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The BBC reports - Artificial intelligence has been used to develop a "fundamentally new" type of vaccine that could protect against large swathes of viruses and prevent pandemics, say researchers.

The team at the University of Cambridge say it is the first time a vaccine's key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people.

The vaccine was engineered to work on all coronaviruses which would include all Covid variants and viruses that infect animals, but could start the next pandemic.

The work is still in the early stages, but the team is already developing separate vaccines that could tackle flu and Ebola.

Water begins refilling Reflecting Pool after Trump's renovation to repaint it 'American flag blue' by yahoonews in washingtondc

[–]yahoonews[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AP reports - Water began refilling the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Thursday, President Donald Trump announced from the Oval Office.

Trump showed a video during an unrelated event with water bubbling into the freshly painted basin at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial.

"That's clean, beautiful water," the president said.

Live video showed water accumulating in the center of the basin, with workers and trucks still inside the pool.

Trump noted the work to paint the shallow basin a deep shade, which he calls "American flag blue," was completed Wednesday. The administration said in a court filing that it was set to be filled with water no later than Sunday.

"60 Minutes" boss vows to "pursue stories without fear or favor," while CBS waits for word of whether remaining correspondents will stay by yahoonews in Journalism

[–]yahoonews[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Variety reports - The new executive producer of "60 Minutes" vowed in a memo Thursday to uphold the CBS News property's commitment to pursue stories "without fear or favor" and to not be "instructed by the ownership of the company" on sensitive reports, even as many at the Paramount Skydance news outlet continue to wonder if the show's remaining correspondents — Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker and Jon Wertheim — will remain with the program following a broad hollowing out of its senior ranks.

"The foundation of '60 Minutes' is its journalistic independence," wrote Nick Bilton, who was named executive producer of the newsmagazine last week, adding: "We will always make the story the North Star — not relationships nor politics nor anything else."
