First, we need to get the facts straight about the current outbreak: While only one man in Rockland Country, New York, has so far been paralyzed by the virus, this case is likely the tip of the iceberg. The re-emergence of this virus, which last spread in the United States in 1979, is certainly cause for concern – the virus is 2-3 times more virulent than the original strain of COVID-19 and paralyzes 1 in 200 people it infects (about 1 in 4 will experience flu-like symptoms)....

The world is already seeing twice as many days where temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius than 30 years ago – this level of heat is deadly for humans and also extremely problematic for buildings, roads and power stations. Makes an area unlivable. This explosive planetary drama demands a dynamic human response. We need to help people move from risk and poverty to safety and comfort – to build a more resilient global society for the benefit of all....

A YouGov poll with Sky News found the foreign secretary had a 32-point lead over the former chancellor, with 66% of members backing her and 34% backing Sunak — excluding those who did not know how they would vote. The race has tightened slightly after a poll The times and YouGov a fortnight ago, when Truss had a 38 per cent lead. It suggests that Sunak’s escalating rhetoric – particularly on Truss’ cost-of-living plans – and a flurry of TV interviews are failing to make an impact....

“Einfach gesagt, könnte ein Cyberkrimineller Schadsoftware auf ihrem Gerät platzieren, wenn sie sich nur eine ansonsten harmlose Webseite angeschaut haben”, warnte danach die IT-Sicherheitsfirma Sophos am Donnerstag. Durch diese Schwachstelle waren iPhones und iPads noch stärker bedroht als Mac-Computer: Denn auf den mobilen Geräten laufen alle Browser mit WebKit und nicht nur das hauseigene Programm Safari. Die zweite Sicherheitslücke befand sich im sogenannten Kernel, dem zentralen Teil des Betriebssystems. Ein Angreifer, der sich bereits Zugriff auf das Gerät verschaffte, könne damit alle möglichen Daten abgreifen, betonte Sophos....

The actor, 51, who played Xander in the 1990s series, was taken to A&E for treatment and is now resting and “focusing on medical appointments”, his sister revealed in an Instagram post shared on his behalf.
