Humberside Police have two new recruits - and they have the nose for tech. Duke and Dexter have been introduced as the force's digital detection dogs. The first in the region, the pair will help out two legged officers using their cyber-scent to help catch criminals. The two German Shorthaired Pointers are currently still undertaking a six-week training program, but once that is over they will go straight to the front line and play a significant role in policing, protecting community and target criminals who exploit technology to commit offences. The Police Online Investigation Team (POLIT), who carry out the investigations into child exploitation material being shared online, has joined forces with the Dog Section to help boost their fight against digitally-based crime. During a dedicated training day last week, Duke and Dexter were showcased to the POLIT during a visit to see how the "digi-dogs" were getting along with their training. The team watched the canine coppers show off their exceptional detection skills to find hidden items, which will soon be paired to digital devices from USB drives to mobile phones - common pieces of critical evidence in criminal investigations. POLIT Detective Inspector Andy Postill said: “The addition of digital detection dogs strengthens our ability to bring those who engage in sickening child sexual offences to justice. “They provide invaluable support in locating evidence alongside our dedicated team of specialist trained officers. Particularly when suspects attempt to conceal items such as SIM cards and USB drives. “We take all reports of child sexual offences very seriously and this is a powerful step in our fight against online child exploitation.” PC Dog Handler Steve Matthews said: “It’s important to build strong working relationships with the teams we collaborate with and by doing so, we provide better service to them and in turn, our communities. “Our dogs are trained to work in high-pressure environments, whether that’s searching for controlled substances, viable firearms, cash, explosives, or very soon, detecting digital evidence. “Duke and Dexter will soon be ready to assist POLIT and other units across the force, providing crucial support in tackling crimes that leave digital trails. “These two new recruits will bring a unique skill set to the team, and it is amazing to see the difference they can make. I’m proud to be a part of this innovative approach to modern policing.”fc 188.ph 。

Stock market today: Wall Street wavers at the start of a holiday-shortened weekTHIS is the shocking moment a toddler walked out of his cell in Syria’s infamous Saydnaya military prison, a site dubbed the "industrial torture chamber" of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The boy's confusion was met with cries of "Allahu Akbar" — "God is greatest" — as jubilant rebel fighters stormed the facility near Damascus, unlocking doors and freeing hundreds of female inmates. Saydnaya prison, notorious for its systemic torture and mass executions, symbolised the Assad regime's brutal reign. Amnesty International reports estimated that between 5,000 and 13,000 prisoners were hanged there since 2011. Inmates endured years of dehumanising conditions, with women and children often imprisoned alongside political detainees in a calculated campaign of fear. Footage shared on social media captured the heart-rending scene. Women wept with joy and children clung to newly freed relatives as rebels cut through padlocks and swung open cell doors. The toddler, hesitating at the threshold of his cell, became an emblem of innocence in a place synonymous with horror. Rebel fighters ushered survivors into waiting buses, which transported them to safety and reunion with loved ones. “We celebrate with the Syrian people the news of freeing our prisoners,” a rebel spokesperson declared. “This marks the end of the era of injustice in Saydnaya prison.” The prison's liberation comes amid a cascade of events that are toppling Assad's 24-year rule. After seizing Damascus in a swift and decisive offensive, rebel forces declared victory and announced that the city was "free of Assad." The dictator fled the capital on Sunday, reportedly aboard a plane that disappeared from radars. It is understood he has sought refuge in Moscow and is currently under Russian protection. The collapse of Assad's regime ignited celebrations across Syria. In the capital, thousands poured into the streets, waving rebel flags and lighting flares. Statues of Assad and his late father, Hafez, were toppled in symbolic acts of defiance. At Assad’s presidential palace, rebels filmed themselves looting valuables, including luxury vehicles and designer goods. While Damascus rejoiced, chaos unfolded in the wake of the regime's collapse. Rebels stormed embassies, including those of Iran and Italy, looting property and forcing evacuations. Assad loyalists who had not fled were paraded through the streets under armed guard. The broader conflict, however, remains complex. While the fall of Assad is celebrated, Syria is still fractured. Rebel leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani, a controversial figure, has vowed inclusivity, stating that “Syria is for everyone, no exceptions.” Yet, tensions persist among various factions, with Turkish-backed forces clashing with Kurdish groups in the north, and ISIS maintaining a foothold in remote areas. The rebels face the monumental task of rebuilding a nation shattered by 13 years of war. An estimated half a million Syrians have died, and millions more have been displaced. Rebel leaders have pledged to establish a transitional government and rebuild the country on principles of democracy and pluralism. International reactions to Assad's fall are mixed. Israel has conducted airstrikes on suspected chemical weapon sites in Syria, and Russian military bases in the country are on high alert. Meanwhile, US President-elect Donald Trump has also stated that America should remain uninvolved in the uprising.Tribune News Network DOHA: Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Eng Badr Mohammed Al Meer, took part in this year’s Doha Forum, highlighting the airline’s commitment to sustainable growth, its strategic partnerships and focus on innovation with CNN anchor and correspondent, Julia Chatterley. The 22nd edition of the Doha Forum was held under the patronage of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The Forum welcomed world leaders, policy-makers, and experts to discuss innovative solutions and action-oriented recommendations for globally critical challenges, including security and technological advancements. The discussion with Eng Al Meer explored the impact of transformative investments, the navigation of complex geopolitical landscapes and seizing opportunities in emerging markets. Eng Al Meer shed light on one of his top priorities, Qatar Airways 2.0, which is focused on employee well-being and retention. He also discussed strategic partnerships from Africa to Australia, and the honour of being awarded the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2024 for the eighth time. Eng Al Meer, said: "I was proud to represent Qatar Airways at this year’s Doha Forum." "Our increasingly connected world has introduced unique challenges, but has also unearthed new opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, much to the benefit of the aviation industry. Qatar Airways has strong and strategic diplomatic ties across the world and is a key player on the global stage. The demand for our services has remained high during both peak and low travel seasons." He continued: "With our partnerships in the emerging markets in Africa, the Americas, and India, we have built on our strengths of agility and commitment to sustainable growth to prove time and time again that Qatar Airways remains resilient, nimble, and responsive to change. These qualities are essential for growth in a multi-lateral environment." "Owing to our new era of Qatar Airways 2.0, dedication to our workforce, and growing investments and partnerships, our airline serves as the optimal case study for thriving businesses in rapidly evolving landscapes." Delivering a record profit of $1.7 billion in the previous financial year, Qatar Airways continues to invest in the latest technologies, most recently as the first global airline to introduce Starlink Wi-Fi across its fleet. The airline also acquired a 25 per cent stake in Southern Africa’s regional carrier, Airlink, and has been granted interim authorisation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to engage with Virgin Australia in co-operative conduct under an integrated alliance, following Qatar Airways Group’s announcement in October that it intends to acquire a minority 25 per cent equity stake in Virgin Australia from Bain Capital (subject to FIRB approval), as part of its dedication to global connectivity.
