Here's the truthStrictly Come Dancing semi-finals: Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill score perfect 40sThe search for the flight that vanished in March 2014 is set to begin again. ’s government said it had reached a deal with a U.S. company, Ocean Infinity, which will be paid $70 million only if it recovers a significant portion of flight ’s wreckage, to the Associated Press. “The proposed new search area, identified by Ocean Infinity, is based on the latest information and data analyses conducted by experts and researchers,” the country’s transport minister, Anthony Loke, said in a statement, the AP reported. “The company’s proposal is credible.” The disappeared from radar shortly after it took off to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, carrying 239 people onboard, all of whom are presumed dead. Satellite data has indicated it was over the southern Indian Ocean when it went down. The cause of the flight’s disappearance, which has spawned , is widely regarded as one of the most significant unsolved aviation mysteries of all time. A previous three-month search by Ocean Infinity, in 2018, failed to turn up the plane’s wreckage, as did the original international search. Some debris to be from MH370 has washed up on Indian Ocean beaches. The Texas-based company’s chief executive, Oliver Plunkett, said earlier this year that its technology had improved since its first attempt at locating the wreckage, the AP reported. Malaysia is set to finalize its negotiations with Ocean Infinity in early 2025, as the firm has suggested that January to April would be the ideal search window, the AP reported. “This decision reflects the government’s commitment to continuing the search operation and providing closure for the families of MH370 passengers,” Loke said.

First it was Canada, then the Panama Canal. Now, Donald Trump again wants Greenland. The president-elect is renewing unsuccessful calls he made during his first term for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, adding to the list of allied countries with which he's picking fights even before taking office on Jan. 20. In a Sunday announcement naming his ambassador to Denmark, Trump wrote that, “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." Trump again having designs on Greenland comes after the president-elect suggested over the weekend that the U.S. could retake control of the Panama Canal if something isn't done to ease rising shipping costs required for using the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He's also been suggesting that Canada become the 51st U.S. state and referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business. “You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said Farnsworth, who is also author of the book “Presidential Communication and Character.” Greenland, the world’s largest island, sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is 80% covered by an ice sheet and is home to a large U.S. military base. It gained home rule from Denmark in 1979 and its head of government, Múte Bourup Egede, suggested that Trump’s latest calls for U.S. control would be as meaningless as those made in his first term. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale,” he said in a statement. “We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom.” Trump canceled a 2019 visit to Denmark after his offer to buy Greenland was rejected by Copenhagen, and ultimately came to nothing. He also suggested Sunday that the U.S. is getting “ripped off” at the Panama Canal. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America, in full, quickly and without question,” he said. Panama President José Raúl Mulino responded in a video that “every square meter of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to,” but Trump fired back on his social media site, “We’ll see about that!” The president-elect also posted a picture of a U.S. flag planted in the canal zone under the phrase, “Welcome to the United States Canal!” The United States built the canal in the early 1900s but relinquished control to Panama on Dec. 31, 1999, under a treaty signed in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. The canal depends on reservoirs that were hit by 2023 droughts that forced it to substantially reduce the number of daily slots for crossing ships. With fewer ships, administrators also increased the fees that shippers are charged to reserve slots to use the canal. The Greenland and Panama flareups followed Trump recently posting that “Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State" and offering an image of himself superimposed on a mountaintop surveying surrounding territory next to a Canadian flag. Trudeau suggested that Trump was joking about annexing his country, but the pair met recently at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to discuss Trump's threats to impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods. “Canada is not going to become part of the United States, but Trump’s comments are more about leveraging what he says to get concessions from Canada by putting Canada off balance, particularly given the precarious current political environment in Canada,” Farnsworth said. “Maybe claim a win on trade concessions, a tighter border or other things.” He said the situation is similar with Greenland, with Trump ultimately looking for concessions from Norway. “What Trump wants is a win and even if the American flag doesn’t raise over Greenland," Farnsworth said. “Europeans may be more willing to say yes to something else because of the pressure.” Published - December 24, 2024 01:00 am IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit USA'I am so excited'- Ange Postecoglou predicts bright future for calm and effecient Tottenham starOntario opposition postpones convention to focus on potential early election

It is one of countless pieces of technology fashioned during the US-Soviet space race to have accelerated the development of personal electronics. In a command economy encompassing various countries including the USSR, the resources of each member state were typically channelled toward reaching specific goals mapped out by a centralised political committee. When the Iron Curtain still divided East and West, Poland was central to this process and, in terms of innovative achievements, outperformed many of its Soviet peers.

Bengaluru: A cybercrook hacked the login ID of the Tours and Travels division of Mysore Sales International Limited (MSIL) for SpiceJet airlines and booked 17 air tickets fraudulently. The staff concerned found that the 17 bookings were made within 10 minutes, causing MSIL a loss of Rs 2.9 lakh. According to the complaint filed by Ravi Kumar K, 50, working in the MSIL head office on Cunningham Road, the miscreant hacked the MSIL website and login ID of SpiceJet on Dec 17 and booked the tickets fraudulently between 7.30pm and 7.40pm. Kumar told police the hacker used a mobile number — 7465910880 — and email ID — gariyavikki80@gmail.com — to hack and log into the SpiceJet login ID BLRMS22266. The hacker also managed to crack the password. By the time the incident came to Kumar's notice on Dec 19, about 14 people had travelled using the tickets booked by the hacker. A police officer said according to Kumar, 11 people travelled to Dubai from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai, while three travelled from Dubai to Mumbai. Soon after the fraud came to Kumar's notice, he informed his seniors in the office and cancelled three tickets booked from Delhi to Dubai. "We have asked Kumar to provide details about all 17 air passengers for whom the hacker had booked the tickets, including those who were about to fly to Dubai from Delhi. We will get in touch with the individuals to ascertain through whom they had booked the flight tickets. Meanwhile, our technical team is working to trace the miscreant who procured the sim card and the Gmail ID used to hack. A case has been registered under the Information Technology Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 318 (cheating). MSIL started the tour and travels 25 years ago, but for the first time they are encountering such an issue," the officer added. The loss mentioned in the complaint is the amount MSIL was to pay to the airlines company. The hacker must have earned more than what MSIL has lost, according to police.
