Residents of New Jersey have reported mysterious drone sightings for weeks, leading a former CIA operations officer to give her own theory amid speculation. Former Central Intelligence Agency officer Laura Ballman suggested the sightings could be a classified exercise, potentially testing drone evasion or detection technology in urban cities, in a segment of Fox News . She noted that statements from national security officials and recent op-eds on drone detection systems support this theory. She also criticized the lack of transparency from the American government in her interview. According to New Jersey's Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness , the FBI is the leading agency investigating the sightings. While the public demands transparency, all information is "classified as law enforcement sensitive" regarding the drones, said the NJOHSP website. Despite 5,000 tips received by the FBI, there has been no confirmation about the origins or purpose of the drones, according to Fox News. Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey claimed without evidence that the mysterious drones are coming from Iran . Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh denied Drew's Iran suggestion and said, "There is no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States." Footage of the video, which was published on X by Disclose.tv, has over 1.3 million views. NOW - Pentagon: "There's no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States." pic.twitter.com/rHAC6mFIuU New Jersey Republican Brian Bergen called White House spokesman John Kirby an "idiot" for dismissing the mysterious drone sightings seen over the state. The drones have left locals baffled, questioning if they're from outer space. "I was like, 'What is that? Is that a U.F.O.?'" Kat Dunbar of Bedminster said in a New York Times interview. "In the last week, it became a little bit of a menacing and, like, creepy thing." Governor Larry Hogan said he personally witnessed "what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky." The Biden administration and agencies like the FAA, FBI and Department of Defense have assured the public there's no illegal activity, but have shared few details. State Senator Jon Bramnick called for an emergency ban on drones in New Jersey until the mystery over the nighttime flights is solved.

Gukesh’s emergence as the youngest World Championship challenger has propelled Indian chess to unprecedented heights. Add R. Praggnanandhaa’s run to the World Cup final in 2023 and the historic double gold in the Budapest Olympiad this year make it even more special. As Viswanathan Anand’s brightest proteges continue to make their mark on the global stage, the legendary five-time World Champion shared his thoughts in an exclusive conversation with Sportstar. Anand delved into Arjun’s remarkable rise, the evolving chess landscape, and the challenges and innovations shaping the sport, including Gukesh’s collaboration with mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton. Excerpt: Q. Arjun became only the second Indian after you to cross 2800, the youngest Indian, and the third youngest ever after Alireza Firouzja and Magnus Carlsen. How would you summarise the magnitude of this achievement? For me, this fixation on a number obscures the point. Had he stopped at 2799, would it be any less impressive? What stands out is the journey. He started the year almost 80 points behind and climbed steadily, navigating high-stakes tournaments with razor-thin margins for error. ALSO READ: World Chess Championship final 2024: All you need to know about Gukesh vs Ding Arjun lost one game in the Bundesliga against a young Turkish prodigy by pushing too hard, and it cost him nine rating points—that’s the margin of error he works with. Most days, he wins and gains just one point or even less. Losing a game could set him back by nine. It’s like one step back equals nine steps forward. The way he’s done it, with such consistency and single-minded focus, is what makes it so impressive. Yes, crossing 2800 places him in an elite group, but it’s the path he took to get there that really stands out. Q. What makes Arjun special? Arjun is trying this new approach of really raising the stakes in every game. He provokes a struggle, sometimes even accepting an inferior position, essentially telling his opponent, ‘Let’s solve problems on the board, and I’m confident I’ll do it better than you. It’s a high-risk, high-reward strategy. When it works, it’s brilliant. But when it doesn’t, it can go badly wrong. Even so, he’s been testing the boundaries of chess in almost every game. Nonetheless, it is quite striking that he’s even leading the FIDE Circuit leaderboard, so his approach stands out. It has been quite unique and there are other players who also try to do it but in a more slow and steady fashion. Certainly, you can say that Gukesh also takes a fair amount of risk as well, but Arjun is really pushing the limits of that. He plays almost provocative setups in every game. I don’t know how long this can last. Eventually, people will react to this and maybe when they play against him, they’ll only prepare for this kind of stuff. Q. Does Arjun’s ability to adapt in shorter time formats give him an edge over Gukesh, Nihal Sarin, and Praggnanandhaa? Arjun’s style doesn’t change much across formats, but this year, I feel all of them have prioritised classical chess. It’s like they all want to show their chops there and then. They seem focused on excelling in this format, even if their results in rapid and blitz, particularly in the Grand Chess Tour, haven’t been exceptional. Maybe things will change by the end of the year. Praggnanandhaa, Gukesh, and Arjun seem to have made up their mind that they want to do exceedingly well in classical chess, which is nice because they have all the time in the world to try different things and they have shown impressive progress. Praggnanandhaa was very similar to Arjun and he has also gone near 2800. Gukesh has also been very impressive. Pragg has struggled a bit more, but I think his attitude is completely correct. He is pushing, pushing, pushing and I feel in the end this will have to pay off. Q. As FIDE’s Deputy President, how do you address concerns that qualifying for the Candidates has become too complicated, particularly with the FIDE Circuit rating? I still think so. What we try to do is broaden the number of players who would have a realistic chance and the FIDE circuit was the one way to bring in the Open tournaments and give a broader base of players a chance to think. But it’s true that things have turned out differently and then you have to adapt to the system. I don’t think it’s a big deal. We will keep tinkering with the system, but I still like the fact that we have a FIDE circuit, which involves so many tournaments. If you look at it, the qualification for the World Cup is fairly democratic and in an open tournament, a lot of people get a chance. The Grand Swiss as well, have tried to move in this non-invitational way. Slightly out of that Invitational frame into broader categories. But there were things we couldn’t anticipate or we didn’t fully appreciate like that tournaments would be held only to get FIDE circuit ratings. It’s not like we didn’t realise it would happen, but it will be this obvious we could not realise. But I think these are problems that can be fixed. So for the moment, I hope we will be able to keep improving the program. Q. With tournaments like the Chennai Grandmasters and Tata Steel Chess India, do we need more invitational events to elevate chess in India? It’s fantastic that Chennai and Kolkata now host prestigious tournaments. These events, especially ones like Tata Steel Chess India with Carlsen’s participation, are excellent for the game’s growth. Open tournaments are practical, but Chennai’s addition of a Challengers section is commendable — it gives more players opportunities to shine. India now has many young players in the 2650–2700 range who can benefit from these formats. As Indian chess continues to grow, round-robin events and initiatives like the Global Chess League will be crucial in making the game more accessible and popular. Q. Freestyle chess has gained attention recently, with tournaments like the one in Weissenhaus. What’s your take on this trend? I’m thrilled about these developments. Events like the Global Chess League, supported by Tech Mahindra, are promising for the sport. Freestyle chess introduces a fresh dynamic to the game, and I’m looking forward to participating in the Weissenhaus event next year. These initiatives are great for chess, expanding its reach and appeal. Q. Cheating in chess is a persistent issue, with allegations involving players like Kiril Shevchenko and Daniel Naroditsky. Can it ever be fully addressed? It is going to be an arms race. I still want to believe that our current measures are effective, as they’ve caught offenders, but the challenge is ongoing. Because this is a technological issue, we must constantly update our methods. While it’s speculative to gauge how widespread cheating is, we can’t ignore its perception as a threat. Maintaining control is critical for the integrity of the game. Q. Gukesh recently teamed up with Paddy Upton, a renowned mental conditioning coach. Considering Ding Liren’s struggles in this area, how do you see this matchup shaping up? Psychology will undoubtedly play a crucial role. Both players will pay close attention to this aspect, and its impact will become clear as the match unfolds.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Agencies" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/", "sameAs": ["https://www.facebook.com/TheNewTimesRwanda/","https://twitter.com/NewTimesRwanda","https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuZbZj6DF9zWXpdZVceDZkg"], "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "/theme_newtimes/images/logo.png", "width": 270, "height": 57 } }, "copyrightHolder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The New Times", "url": "https://www.newtimes.co.rw/" } }LEGISLATORS get their creative juices flowing best when engaged in carving up the annual budget of the national government.

'Extremely Unsettling' NJ Drone Activity Could Be 'Classified Exercise,' Former CIA Operations Officer Suggests
By MELINA WALLING Associated Press BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. It’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still deeply unsatisfied but some hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. World Resources Institute president and CEO Ani Dasgupta called it “an important down payment toward a safer, more equitable future,” but added that the poorest and most vulnerable nations are “rightfully disappointed that wealthier countries didn’t put more money on the table when billions of people’s lives are at stake.” The summit was supposed to end on Friday evening but negotiations spiraled on through early Sunday. With countries on opposite ends of a massive chasm, tensions ran high as delegations tried to close the gap in expectations. Here’s how they got there: What was the finance deal agreed at climate talks? Rich countries have agreed to pool together at least $300 billion a year by 2035. It’s not near the full amount of $1.3 trillion that developing countries were asking for, and that experts said was needed. But delegations more optimistic about the agreement said this deal is headed in the right direction, with hopes that more money flows in the future. The text included a call for all parties to work together using “all public and private sources” to get closer to the $1.3 trillion per year goal by 2035. That means also pushing for international mega-banks, funded by taxpayer dollars, to help foot the bill. And it means, hopefully, that companies and private investors will follow suit on channeling cash toward climate action. The agreement is also a critical step toward helping countries on the receiving end create more ambitious targets to limit or cut emissions of heat-trapping gases that are due early next year. It’s part of the plan to keep cutting pollution with new targets every five years, which the world agreed to at the U.N. talks in Paris in 2015. The Paris agreement set the system of regular ratcheting up climate fighting ambition as away to keep warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. The world is already at 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and carbon emissions keep rising. What will the money be spent on? The deal decided in Baku replaces a previous agreement from 15 years ago that charged rich nations $100 billion a year to help the developing world with climate finance. The new number has similar aims: it will go toward the developing world’s long laundry list of to-dos to prepare for a warming world and keep it from getting hotter. That includes paying for the transition to clean energy and away from fossil fuels. Countries need funds to build up the infrastructure needed to deploy technologies like wind and solar power on a large scale. Communities hard-hit by extreme weather also want money to adapt and prepare for events like floods, typhoons and fires. Funds could go toward improving farming practices to make them more resilient to weather extremes, to building houses differently with storms in mind, to helping people move from the hardest-hit areas and to help leaders improve emergency plans and aid in the wake of disasters. The Philippines, for example, has been hammered by six major storms in less than a month, bringing to millions of people howling wind, massive storm surges and catastrophic damage to residences, infrastructure and farmland. “Family farmers need to be financed,” said Esther Penunia of the Asian Farmers Association. She described how many have already had to deal with millions of dollars of storm damage, some of which includes trees that won’t again bear fruit for months or years, or animals that die, wiping out a main source of income. “If you think of a rice farmer who depends on his or her one hectare farm, rice land, ducks, chickens, vegetables, and it was inundated, there was nothing to harvest,” she said. Why was it so hard to get a deal? Election results around the world that herald a change in climate leadership, a few key players with motive to stall the talks and a disorganized host country all led to a final crunch that left few happy with a flawed compromise. The ending of COP29 is “reflective of the harder geopolitical terrain the world finds itself in,” said Li Shuo of the Asia Society. He cited Trump’s recent victory in the US — with his promises to pull the country out of the Paris Agreement — as one reason why the relationship between China and the EU will be more consequential for global climate politics moving forward. Developing nations also faced some difficulties agreeing in the final hours, with one Latin American delegation member saying that their group didn’t feel properly consulted when small island states had last-minute meetings to try to break through to a deal. Negotiators from across the developing world took different tacks on the deal until they finally agreed to compromise. Meanwhile, activists ramped up the pressure: many urged negotiators to stay strong and asserted that no deal would be better than a bad deal. But ultimately the desire for a deal won out. Some also pointed to the host country as a reason for the struggle. Mohamed Adow, director of climate and energy think tank Power Shift Africa, said Friday that “this COP presidency is one of the worst in recent memory,” calling it “one of the most poorly led and chaotic COP meetings ever.” The presidency said in a statement, “Every hour of the day, we have pulled people together. Every inch of the way, we have pushed for the highest common denominator. We have faced geopolitical headwinds and made every effort to be an honest broker for all sides.” Shuo retains hope that the opportunities offered by a green economy “make inaction self-defeating” for countries around the world, regardless of their stance on the decision. But it remains to be seen whether the UN talks can deliver more ambition next year. In the meantime, “this COP process needs to recover from Baku,” Shuo said.Indigenous boy donating hair to cancer patients, raising money for Kemptville hospital
