After the Bondi attack, a deepfaked Guardian video went viral. It won't be the last – video
In the days after the worst mass shooting in Australia since Port Arthur, a wave of misinformation spread across social media. A video of Australian federal police commissioner Krissy Barrett claiming four Indian nationals had been arrested, with a Guardian watermark on screen, was in fact a deepfake made from a genuine video of a press conference Barrett had given on 18 December. The video was flagged by online factcheckers, but not before being watched hundreds of thousands of times. As Guardian Australia's technology reporter Josh Taylor explains, these deepfakes are only getting easier to make

How America's luckiest woman won the lotto FOUR times as her extraordinary life is revealed for the first time
Yet that's exactly what Joan Ginther did over the course of her extraordinary life. Her remarkable streak baffled experts, though a top statistician told the Daily Mail he believes he may have figured her secret. However, she had never been suspected of cheating or doing anything illegal, the Texas Lottery Commission told NBC News back in 2010. When asked if that was unlucky match for a millionaire, her friend answered, 'You would never know she was a millionaire,' Wooley said. On April 13, 2024, she died of natural causes from possible cardio vascular disease, her autopsy report obtained by Daily Mail states.

A Government source told The Times that the compulsory element ‘was stopping conversation about what digital IDs could be used for generally’.

The mandatory digital ID plans were roundly torn apart by MPs from a cross-section of the parties during a parliamentary debate last month. We welcome Starmer’s reported U-turn on making intrusive, expensive and unnecessary digital IDs mandatory.

TV CPR often not reflective of real-world scenarios
TV CPR often not reflective of real-world scenariosKey takeaways:Bystander CPR as depicted on TV frequently did not align with correct real-world procedures and experience. On TV, people receiving CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were frequently younger and in public settings, whereas real-life cardiac arrests are more common among older adults in their homes, according to the study. Among the TV episodes reviewed, 63.5% depicted bystander CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by a layperson likely not trained in basic life support for health care providers. The researchers found that 64.8% of CPR recipients on TV were white and 68.5% were male, whereas 70.3% of people giving CPR on TV were white and 64.8% were male. “Television depictions commonly feature white and male individuals as both recipients and providers of compression-only CPR,” the researchers wrote.

The DAC 1904 attacker has been linked with a number of clubs including Copenhagen and Olympiacos with Gers reportedly keeping tabs on his situation. Rohl’s men are also credited with an interest in Sunderland winger Romaine Mundle who is reportedly available.
