    AI detects miltary threats before they happen

    A new global monitoring system which uses artificial intelligence is said to be able to predict potential military threats before they happen.
    The system uses AI to fuse satellite data with decades of geographic information.
    It produces what the company behind it calls “predictive intelligence” for strategic operations.
    The dual system is called Sentry and has been developed by Sweden based satellite and space system company Maxar Technologies.
    One version called Site focuses on key areas across land and sea, such as airports, ports, and urban centres.
    A second called Maritime Sentry monitors vessel activities across large ocean regions, enabling real-time surveillance of thousands of square kilometres of ocean waters simultaneously.
    Sentry automatically coordinates multiple satellite networks to maximise coverage allowing it to monitor hundreds of sites around the world, all at once.
    It then fuses the collected data into a single, time-aligned dataset, making a quick and easy analysis.
    Finally, AI and machine learning models compare this feed against Maxar’s archive, flagging suspicious activities such as sudden troop movements, an unexpected satellite launch, or disruptions at critical infrastructure.

    A line of buses placed by Ukrainian Azov Battalion defenders to impede the advance of Russian/ pro-Russian forces as they fight deeper into the city of Mariupol. Many people are trying to flee the city on foot into territory controlled by the Donetsk People's Republic. More than 200,000 people are trapped in the strategic city described by those who managed to escape as a "freezing hellscape riddled with dead bodies and destroyed buildings," Human Rights Watch said.

    On December 2, 2021, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, the Zhongshan Scenic Area of ‚Ä‚ÄNanjing in the early winter season is full of forests, colorful and picturesque. From the air, the yellowed sycamore leaves on the cemetery road are like a string of Meiling Palace. "Golden Necklace" is so beautiful, ushering in the most beautiful viewing moment of the year.
    Viewed from the air through a drone, rows of platanus trees form a collar. The Meiling Palace in Xuanwu District of Nanjing is like a gem inlaid at the end of the necklace, quietly nestling at the foot of the Purple Mountain. There are folk rumors that the Meiling Palace was a "birthday gift" from Chiang Kai-shek to Soong Meiling. Netizens called this "the world's best necklace" as Jiang Gong's romantic confession to his beloved wife. It is understood that the trees forming the "necklace" on the cemetery road were not planted in the same period.
    According to records, the earliest construction budget of Meiling Palace was 260,000 silver dollars, but in the end it actually spent 320,000 silver dollars. The money was first advanced by the Army, Navy and Air Force Command, and later the Nanjing Municipal Finance Bureau also contributed part of the advance. The financial pit left by Meiling Palace for the two departments was finally filled by Chiang Kai-shek with the reimbursement of the total reserve fund of the state finance.

    Due to disrepair, Meiling Palace started repairs in December 2012 and was completed in September 2013. The rows of fatons are layered on top of each other, and the shape is like a necklace, which is very spectacular. Netizens called it "the most awesome necklace in the world." These necklace-shaped platanus trees were not planted at the same time. The Fatong that forms the "collar" on the cemetery avenue was planted during the construction of the Zhongshan Cemetery from 1925 to 1929, and the Fatong that formed a "pendant" ..

    Lilik Abdul Hamid, who is missing and feared dead following the deadly attack yesterday by white supremacist Australian killer Brenton Tarrant, 28, who is the main suspect for gunning down people inside two mosques in New Zealand. Lilik's family have appealed for information after he went missing in the wake of the attack.. Brenton appeared to have published a document before the attack outlining his intentions and in which he espoused far right and anti-immigrant ideology. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the man as an "extremist, right-wing" terrorist. Police Commissioner Bush confirmed that the man was not known in advance to either New Zealand or Australian security services.

    Lilik Abdul Hamid, who is missing and feared dead following the deadly attack yesterday by white supremacist Australian killer Brenton Tarrant, 28, who is the main suspect for gunning down people inside two mosques in New Zealand. Lilik's family have appealed for information after he went missing in the wake of the attack.. Brenton appeared to have published a document before the attack outlining his intentions and in which he espoused far right and anti-immigrant ideology. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison described the man as an "extremist, right-wing" terrorist. Police Commissioner Bush confirmed that the man was not known in advance to either New Zealand or Australian security services.

    The main indicator of the Brazilian stock exchange, B3, is up on Wednesday (9), going from 93,000 points for the first time. The movement is influenced by the exterior, by the good performance of Vale and Petrobras shares and by signs of advancement in a pension reform proposal that contribute to the maintenance of investors' moods. The news from the outside influences positively, amid expectations that the United States and China announce some advance in the commercial negotiations. Investors also await the release of the minutes of the latest Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting scheduled for 5 pm for signs of the US central bank's next steps toward interest rates.

    The leader of a new political movement attempting to take over Tory-run Kensington & Chelsea in the wake of the Grenfell fire today claimed residents would be prepared to see council tax rise to tackle the borough’s housing problems. Annabel Mullin says her Advance party will in return deliver "meaningful change" to the way local politics works after next May’s borough elections, by giving residents a more direct say. She accepts that government cuts have become a fact of life for town halls but says her party will be more creative about making efficiencies.
